Report of Independent Accountants
June 29, 1999
To the Participants
and Administrator of
the CFC International, Inc.
Employees' Savings and
Investment Plan
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits
present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits
of the CFC International, Inc. Employees' Savings and Investment Plan (the
"Plan") at December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the changes in net assets available
for benefits for the year ended December 31, 1998, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. 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 of these statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards which 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, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.
Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental Schedule of Assets Held
for Investment Purposes and Schedule of Reportable Transactions are presented
for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic
financial statements but are supplementary information required by the
Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. 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 plan benefits and
changes in net assets available for benefits of each fund. These supplemental
schedules and fund information are the responsibility of the Plan's management.
The supplemental schedules and fund information have been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and,
in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the
basic financial statements taken as a whole.

CFC INTERNATIONAL, INC.
EMPLOYEES' SAVINGS AND INVESTMENT PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
-----------------------------
DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND 1997
--------------------------
NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN:
- ---------------------------------
The following description of the CFC International, Inc. Employees' Savings and
Investment Plan (the Plan) is provided for general information purposes only.
Participants should refer to the Plan for more complete information.
The Plan is a defined contribution plan whose purpose is to provide retirement
benefits for eligible employees of CFC International, Inc. (the Company),
formerly The Coated Film Company, and its wholly owned subsidiaries.
Plan administration
- -------------------
The Plan assets are held by the LaSalle National Trust, N.A. (the Custodian).
The Custodian controls and has the authority to invest all contributions to the
Plan. Individual participant accounts are maintained by SunGard Employee Benefit
Systems (the Recordkeeper) for each investment fund and are credited with
contributions, actual earnings from each investment fund in which such
contributions are invested, and forfeitures. The Recordkeeper also calculates
and charges individual participant accounts for withdrawals and benefit payments
under the terms of the Plan. All administrative expenses of the Plan are borne
by the Company.
Contribution policy
- -------------------
Eligible employees may contribute between 2% and 18% of their annual
compensation under a salary deferral agreement and can include up to 10% of that
amount under a post-tax voluntary contribution arrangement. For each employee's
salary deferral contribution up to a maximum of 4% of annual compensation, as
defined, the Company will contribute 50% of such employee contribution. In
addition, the Company may make a discretionary contribution to the Plan each
year.
Participation and vesting
- -------------------------
Employees who have completed one year of service and are at least 21 years of
age are eligible to participate in the Plan. Participants are fully vested in
their own contributions and in the Company's matching contributions.
Participants gradually become vested in the Company discretionary contribution,
with full vesting after 7 years of service. Forfeitures of nonvested participant
balances are allocated in a manner similar to the Company discretionary
contribution.
<PAGE>
Withdrawals
- -----------
Participants may withdraw any portion of their voluntary after-tax contributions
at any time. In order for participants to withdraw a portion of their salary
deferral contribution, they must show financial hardship, as defined in the
Plan.
Termination
- -----------
The Company believes the Plan will continue without interruption, however, it
has the right to amend or terminate the Plan at any time. Should the Plan be
terminated, participant account balances become 100% vested and Plan assets,
after allowances for expenses of administration or liquidation, shall be
allocated proportionately to each participant based on the net aggregate value
of the participants' investment determined as of the date of Plan
discontinuance.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
- ----------------------------------------------------
Basis of accounting
- -------------------
The Plan's financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of
accounting.
Investments and investment income
- ---------------------------------
The ABN AMRO Treasury Money Market Fund is a pooled money market fund whose
investments are stated at fair market value as determined by the Custodian.
Interest income on this fixed income fund is credited to individual participant
accounts when earned.
The LaSalle National Trust S&P 500 Equity Index Fund is an equity mutual fund
whose investments are stated at fair market value based upon published market
quotations on the last business day of the year.
The ABN AMRO International Equity Fund invests in a portfolio consisting
primarily of the equity securities of issuers in at least three countries other
than the United States. The investments are stated at fair market value as
determined by the Custodian.
The ABN AMRO Small Cap Fund invests in a portfolio consisting primarily of the
common stocks of corporations with smaller capitalization levels that have a
strong prospect for earnings growth. Due to the nature of the investments, the
fund's share may fluctuate significantly in the short term. The investments are
stated at fair market value as determined by the Custodian.
The ABN AMRO Fixed Income Fund invests in a portfolio consisting primarily of
quality intermediate and long-term fixed income securities. The investments are
stated at fair market value as determined by the Custodian.
The CFC International, Inc., common stock is a riskier investment; therefore,
the Plan limits individuals to invest not more than 50% of their fund balance in
the CFC Company Stock Fund. CFC International, Inc., does not pay dividends;
therefore, no dividend income is credited to the individual participant's
account.
All contributions to the CFC Company Stock Fund are initially deposited into the
ABN AMRO Treasury Money Market Fund. The trustee initiates investment
purchases and sales based on elected investment percentages. Interest
income arises from the delay between when funds are deposited and when CFC
shares are acquired.
Purchases and sales of securities, including related gains and losses, are
recorded on a trade-date basis.
The plan presents in the statement of changes in net assets available for
benefits the net appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of its
investments which consists of the realized gains or losses and the unrealized
appreciation (depreciation) on those investments.
Contributions
- -------------
Employer discretionary contributions are recognized during the period in which
approved by the Company's board of directors. No discretionary contributions
were made during the year ended December 31, 1998. Employer matching and
employee contributions are recognized during the period in which the employee's
related compensation is earned.
Use of estimates
- ----------------
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles requires the use of estimates by management regarding the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities as well as the revenue and expenses
recognized during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these
estimates.
Participant Loans
- -----------------
Effective January 1, 1998, the Plan provides that a participant may borrow from
the Plan an amount of at least $1,000 in multiples of $100 and not to exceed the
lessor of 50% of the participant's vested account balance or $50,000 less the
excess of the highest outstanding loan balance during the previous one year
period over the outstanding balance as of the date of the loan. Each participant
loan is evidenced by a note and is considered an investment of that
participant's account. Accordingly, principal and interest payments are credited
to the respective participant's account. Each participant note carries an
interest rate equal to the prime rate plus 1 percent on the date of the loan.
Repayment occurs through payroll withholding over a period not to exceed 60
months, unless the loan is for the purchase or construction of a home, in which
case the repayment period may extend to 180 months. Note that the loan balance
as of December 31, 1997 relates to the transfer of existing loans from the
Northern Bank Note Company ("NBNC"). See additional information in Note 5.
<PAGE>
NOTE 3 - PARTY-IN-INTEREST TRANSACTIONS
- ---------------------------------------
Party-in-interest transactions consisted of loans made to participants and
investments in the CFC Company Stock Fund. Stock in the CFC Company Stock Fund
is acquired on the open market at fair market value on the date purchased.
Party-in-interest transactions also consist of the investments in the LaSalle
S&P 500 Index Fund and ABN AMRO Funds, as LaSalle is the trustee of the Plan and
related to ABN AMRO.
NOTE 4 - TAX STATUS:
- --------------------
A favorable determination letter dated September 12, 1995 has been received from
the Internal Revenue Service regarding the Plan's tax-exempt status. Further,
the Plan administrator believes the Plan is designed and being operated in
accordance with its terms and Internal Revenue Code requirements. Accordingly,
no provision for taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements.
NOTE 5 - TRANSFER FROM OTHER PLAN
- ---------------------------------
On September 3, 1997, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and
assumed substantially all of the liabilities of NBNC. NBNC is a financial
security printer of stock certificates and other intaglio printed documents.
Effective October 1, 1997, investments of NBNC employees now employed by the
Company were transferred to the Plan in the amount of $3,486,873.
