                         Report of Independent Auditors

Plan Administrator
CONAP, Inc. Employees' Savings & Profit Sharing Plan

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
including the schedules of investments of the CONAP, Inc. Employees' Savings and
Profit Sharing Plan ("the Plan") as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the
related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year
ended December 31, 1996. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of
December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the changes in net assets available for benefits
for the year ended December 31, 1996 in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial
statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedules of assets
held for investment purposes as of December 31, 1996, and reportable 5%
transactions for the year then ended, are presented for purposes of complying
with the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and
Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, and are
not a required part of the financial statements. The Fund Information in the
statements of net assets available for benefits and the statement of changes in
net assets available for benefits is presented for purposes of additional
analysis rather than to present the net assets available for benefits and
changes in net assets available for benefits of each fund. The supplemental
schedules and Fund Information have been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in our audit of the 1996 financial statements and, in our opinion, are
fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the 1996 financial
statements taken as a whole.

                                                               Ernst & Young LLP

                                December 31, 1996


1.   Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting

The accounting records of the Plan are maintained on the accrual basis.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
effect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Investments

The Plan's investments are valued at their stated asset value based on quoted
prices as determined by Mellon Bank. Effective September 1, 1996, participants
may elect to invest in 50,000 shares of Cytec Industries Inc. common stock ($.01
par value per share).

Direct investments by the Plan in securities traded on national securities
exchanges (solely Cytec Industries Inc. common stock) are valued at the year-end
closing market price.


 2.  Description of the Plan

The Plan is a defined contribution plan which covers all employees who are not
covered by a collective bargaining agreement at CONAP, Inc. CONAP, Inc. is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Cytec Industries Inc. Prior to September 1, 1996
employees of CONAP, Inc. became eligible to participate in the Plan on the first
January 1 or July 1 subsequent to employment. After September 1, 1996 an
employee may participate in the Plan starting the first day of the calendar
quarter following his or her hire date. The Plan is subject to the provisions of
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

                    Notes to Financial Statements (continued)


2.   Description of the Plan (continued)

Prior to September 1, 1996 employees could contribute up to 6% of their pre-tax
earnings. Additional contributions could be made by employees on an after-tax
basis up to 16% of the employees' earnings, subject to IRS limitations. CONAP,
Inc. matched 30% of the employees' basic contribution, as defined. For
contributions made after September 1, 1996, employees may contribute pre-tax
earnings to the Plan in increments of 1%, up to the maximum annual contribution
allowed ($9,500 in 1996), subject to IRS limitations. Also beginning with salary
deferrals made on or after September 1, 1996, CONAP, Inc. matches 75% of
employee deferrals. Salary deferrals in excess of 4% are not matched.

Beginning on September 1, 1996, CONAP, Inc. will contribute 1% of each eligible
employee's annual compensation to the plan regardless of salary deferral. This
contribution is made at the end of the plan year. An employee must be employed
on the last day of the calendar year and have worked 1,000 hours during the
calendar year in order to receive this contribution.

Employee contributions are 100% vested at the time the contribution is made.
Vesting in employer contributions is based upon the participant's number of
years of service in accordance with the following schedule:

                     Completed Years                Percent
                        of Service                  Vested

                           5                        100%

Upon termination, the participant will receive his or her vested portion in a
lump-sum distribution.

Also effective September 1, 1996, the Plan was amended to allow borrowing of up
to 50% of an employees' vested account balance subject to restrictions.

2.   Description of the Plan (continued)

The foregoing description of the Plan provides only general information.
Participants should refer to the Summary Plan Description for CONAP, Inc.
Employees' Savings & Profit Sharing Plan for a more complete description of the
Plan's provisions. Copies are available from the Plan administrator.


3.   Investments

The Plan's investments are held by a bank-administered trust fund (Mellon Bank).
The participants of the Plan may elect to invest in the following investment
funds:

     Dreyfus-Certus Stable Value Fund - This is a collective investment fund 
     with an investment objective of high current income and stability of
     principal. The fund will only purchase GICs from highly rated issuers.
     This fund was first offered as an option in the plan on September 1,
     1996. The Mellon Bank Employee Benefit Temporary Investment Fund,
     available under the Plan through August 31, 1996, was invested in
     high-quality money market investments that include short-term corporate
     discount notes and demand notes.

     Mellon Bank Stock Index Fund - This is a collective fund which closely
     tracks the investment performance of the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite 
     Price Index.

     Mellon Bank Balanced Fund - The asset mix of this fund is set at 60%
     stocks and 40% bonds with a 20% variance in favor of either asset. The 
     funds used in this mix are Mellon Bank Stock Fund and Mellon Bank 
     Intermediate Bond Fund.

     Mellon Bank Special Stock Fund - This fund provides an account with
     diversified holdings in common stocks of small-to-mid capitalized
     companies.

     Mellon Bank Active Core Bond Fund - This fund provides representation
     in the investment grade bond market. This market includes all Treasury,
     Government/Agency and corporate obligations with maturities from one to
     forty years.

     Cytec Industries Stock Fund - This fund invests exclusively in
     registered shares of Cytec Industries common stock, the parent company
     of the Plan Sponsor.

5.   Income Tax Status

The Internal Revenue Service ruled, in a determination letter dated June 13,
1995, that the Plan qualifies under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code
(IRC) and is, therefore, not subject to tax under present income tax law. Once
qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the IRC to
maintain its qualification. The Plan has been amended subsequent to the date of
the determination letter. The Plan Sponsor is not aware of any course of action
or series of events that have occurred that might adversely affect the Plan's
qualified status.
