This Amendment No. 5 to Schedule 13D relates to shares of Common Stock,
par value $0.01 per share (the "Shares"), of The UniMark Group, Inc. (the
"Issuer"). This Amendment No. 5 supplementally amends the initial statement on
Schedule 13D dated July 7, 1998 and all amendments thereto (collectively, the
"Initial Statement") filed by the Reporting Person (as defined below). This
Amendment No. 5 is being filed by the Reporting Person to report that, as a
result of the recent acquisition of Shares of the Issuer, the number of Shares
of which the Reporting Person currently may be deemed to be the beneficial owner
has increased by more than one percent of the total outstanding Shares.
Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed
to them in the Initial Statement. The Initial Statement is supplementally
amended as follows.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
M&M expended approximately $216,750 of its working capital to
purchase the Shares reported herein as being acquired since July 17, 1999 (60
days prior to the date hereof).
The securities which are held for the account of M&M may be
held through margin accounts maintained with brokers, which extend margin credit
as and when required to open or carry positions in its margin accounts, subject
to applicable federal margin regulations, stock exchange rules and such firm's
credit policies. The positions which may be held in the margin accounts,
including the Shares, are pledged as collateral security for the repayment of
debit balances in the respective accounts.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
All of the Shares reported herein acquired for the account of
M&M were acquired for investment purposes. Neither the Reporting Person nor, to
the best of its knowledge, any of the other persons identified in response to
Item 2, has any plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the
transactions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule
13D. The Reporting Person reserves the right to acquire, or cause to be
acquired, additional securities of the Issuer, to dispose of, or cause to be
disposed, such securities at any time or to formulate other purposes, plans or
proposals regarding the Issuer or any of its securities, to the extent deemed
advisable in light of general investment and trading policies of the Reporting
Person, MSIF, Madera and/or M&M, market conditions or other factors.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
(a) The Reporting Person may be deemed the beneficial owner of
the 6,299,959 Shares held for the account of M&M (approximately 43.33% of the
total number of Shares outstanding).
(b) The Reporting Person (by virtue of the Advisory Contract)
has the sole power to direct the voting and disposition of the Shares held for
the account of M&M.
(c) Except for the transactions disclosed in Annex A hereto (which were
effected in routine brokerage transactions on the NASDAQ Market), there have
been no transactions effected with respect to the Shares since July 17, 1999 (60
days prior to the date hereof) by the Reporting Person, Madera, MSIF and/or M&M.

(d) The members of M&M, including Madera and MSIF, have the
right to participate in the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sale
of, the Shares held for the account of M&M in accordance with their membership
interests in M&M.
(e) Not applicable.
