Note 1.  Basis of Presentation

In  the opinion of  management,  the accompanying unaudited
interim consolidated financial statements contain all
adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments)
necessary to present fairly the financial position of CFC
International, Inc. (the Company) as of March 31, 1998 and
December 31, 1997, the results of operations for the three (3)
months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, and statements of cash
flows for the three (3) months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997.

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements
included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and
regulations for reporting on Form 10Q.  Accordingly, certain
information and footnote disclosures normally accompanying the
annual consolidated financial statements have been omitted.
The interim consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and
notes thereto included in the Companys latest annual report on
Form 10K.

Results for an interim period are not necessarily indicative of
results for the entire year and such results are subject to
year end adjustments and an independent audit.

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to


current year presentation.














Note 2.  Adoption of New Accounting Standard



Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 Reporting Comprehensive
Income.  This statement requires that all items recognized
under accounting standards as components of comprehensive
income be reported in an annual financial statement that is
displayed with the same prominence as other annual financial
statements.  This Statement also requires than an entity
classify items of other comprehensive income by their nature in
an annual financial statement.  For example, other
comprehensive income may include foreign currency translation
adjustments, minimum pension liability adjustments, and
unrealized gains and losses on marketable securities classified
as availableforsale.  Annual financial statements for prior
periods will be reclassified, as required.  The Companys total
comprehensive income was as follows:

Overview

The Company formulates, manufactures, and sells chemicallycomplex,
transferable multilayer coatings for use in many diversified
markets such as furniture and building products, pharmaceutical
products, transaction cards (including credit cards, debit cards,
ATM cards, and access cards), and on holographic authentication
seals.  The Companys net sales increased from $25.3 million in
1993 to $42.3 million in 1997. During that period, the Company
realized sales dollar growth in all of its major product lines.
The Companys operating income more than doubled over this fiveyear
period, increasing from
$2.8 million, or 11.2% of net sales in 1993 to $6.1 million, or
14.3% of net sales in 1997.

The Company has experienced, and expects to continue
experiencing, shifts in the relative sales and growth of its
various products over time.  The Company believes that such
shifts are in the ordinary course of business and are
indicative of its focus on specific niche markets.  During the
period from 1993 to 1997, printed products sales rose from
22.9% to 38.0% of net sales.  Pharmaceutical products sales
declined from 25.6% in 1993 to 19.1% of net sales in 1997 due
to the growth of other product lines.  Actual pharmaceutical
product sales increased from $6.5 million in 1993 to $8.1
million in 1997, or an increase
of 24.9% over that fiveyear period.  Security products sales
increased from 6.7% in 1993 to 16.0% of net sales in 1997.
Holographic products grew from 8.5% in 1993 to 13.4% of net
sales in 1997, primarily due to authentication sales and
consumer products packaging.
The Companys gross profit reflects all direct product costs and
direct labor, quality control, shipping and receiving,
maintenance, process engineering, plant management, and a
substantial portion of the Companys depreciation expense.
Selling, general and administrative expenses are primarily
composed of sales representatives salaries and related
expenses, commissions to sales representatives, advertising
costs, management compensation and corporate audit and legal
expense. Research and development expenses include salaries of
technical personnel, related depreciation, and experimental
materials.

Quarter Ended March 31, 1998 Compared to Quarter Ended March
31, 1997

Net sales for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 increased 29.1%
to $12.6 million, from $9.8 million for the quarter ended March
31, 1997.  Printed product sales increased 15.5% to $4.5
million, from $3.9 million primarily due to an increase in the
Companys market share.  Pharmaceutical product sales increased
12.1% to $2.3 million, from $2.1 million, primarily due to an
increase in Baxter Healthcares European business.  Security
product (magstripe, signature panels, and tipping products for
credit cards) sales increased 160.0% to $2.6 million, from $1.0
million. This increase comes primarily from strong sales of the
Companys magstripe product line, and $1.1 million of intaglio
printed documents as a result of the Northern Bank Note
acquisition in September of 1997.  Sales of simulated metal and
other pigmented products decreased 6.7% to $1.4 million, from
$1.5 million, as CFC exited markets in which it could not
derive its historic margins.  Holographic product sales
increased 30.9% to $1.8 million for the quarter ended March 31,
1998, compared to $1.4 million for the quarter ended March 31,
1997, primarily due to the increased sales to Graphic Packaging
for holographic material for a major beverage company.

Gross profit for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 increased
20.7%
to $4.9 million, from $4.0 million for the quarter ended March
31, 1997.  The increase in gross profit was attributable to the
growth in sales.  The gross profit margin for the quarter ended
March 31, 1998 decreased to 38.4% from 41.1% for the quarter
ended March 31, 1997.  This decrease was primarily caused by
higher labor costs resulting from the increased overtime
required to meet higher sales levels.  Although the Company
does not fully allocate all costs on a product line basis, the
Company believes that its gross profit margin typically is not
substantially different for any of its major product
categories.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the quarter
ended March 31, 1998 increased 28.8% to $2.5 million from $1.9
million for the quarter ended March 31, 1997. This increase was
primarily due to the additional $400,000 in operating expenses
due to the Northern Bank Note acquisition.  Selling, general,
and administrative expenses for the quarters ended March 31,
1998 and March 31, 1997 was unchanged at 19.5% of net sales.

Research and development expenses for the quarter ended March
31, 1998 increased 18.1% to $366,247 from $310,110 for the
quarter ended March 31, 1997.  Research and development
expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 decreased as a
percentage of net sales, to 2.9%  from 3.2% for the quarter
ended March 31, 1997. This decrease in percentage was primarily
due to the increase in net sales.

Operating income for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 increased
12.5% to $2.0 million, from $1.8 million for the quarter ended
March 31, 1997.  The increase in operating income is primarily
due to the increase in net sales.  Operating income for the
quarter ended March 31, 1998 decreased as a percentage of net
sales to 16.0% from 18.4% for the quarter ended March 31, 1997.
This decrease is primarily due to a decrease in gross profit as
a percentage of net sales, as explained above.

Interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 increased
116.1% to $165,165, from $76,442 for the quarter ended March
31, 1997.  This increase was primarily due to the financing of
the Northern Bank Note acquisition, and the cost to finance the
new printing press.

Income taxes for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 decreased to
$664,000 from $688,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1997.
The provision decreased to 5.2% of sales for the quarter ended
March 31, 1998 from 7.0% of sales for the quarter ended March
31, 1997 due to the decrease in operating income as a
percentage of sales. The effective rate decreased to 39.0% for
the quarter ended March 31, 1998 from 40.0% for the quarter
ended March 31, 1997 due to a combination of factors including
the source of taxable income and the current assessment of
outstanding tax issues.

Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 increased .6%
to $1,037,592, from $1,031,428 for the quarter ended March 31,
1997. This increase in net income is primarily due to the
increase in operating income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Working capital, consisting predominately of inventories and
receivables, increased from $13.0 million at December 31, 1997
to $13.4 million at March 31, 1997.  This increase was
primarily caused by an increase in cash. Cash increased from
$1.8 million at December 31, 1997 to $3.3 million at March 31,
1997, primarily due to cash generated by the Companys
operations.  This increase was offset by a $400,000 decrease in
inventory and a $700,000
increase in current liabilities.
During the first quarter of 1998, the Company made no
borrowings against the revolving credit agreement maintained
with the Companys primary bank.  This agreement, which expires
April 1, 1999, provides for borrowings of specified percentages
of eligible accounts receivable and inventories, with the total
not to exceed $4,500,000.  The Company believes that the net
cash provided by operating activities and amounts available
under the revolving credit agreement are sufficient to finance
the Companys growth.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information.  The statement requires the
Company to report financial and descriptive information about
its reportable segments, determined using the management
approach (i.e., internal management reporting), in interim and
yearend financial statements.  The statement is effective for
the year ending December 31, 1998.   Interim disclosures are
not required in the year of adoption.

The Company has not yet determined the impact that SFAS No. 131

will have on its financial statements.
