PART I
FMC Corporation was incorporated in 1928 under Delaware law and has its
principal executive offices at 200 East Randolph Drive, Chicago, Illinois
60601. As used in this report, except where otherwise stated or indicated by
the context, "FMC", "the Company" or "the Registrant" means FMC Corporation and
its consolidated subsidiaries and their predecessors.
The Company is one of the world's leading producers of chemicals and machinery
for industry and agriculture. The Company employs 16,805 people at 104
manufacturing facilities and mines in 25 countries. The Company divides its
businesses into three main segments: Machinery and Equipment, Industrial
Chemicals, and Performance Chemicals. Machinery and Equipment businesses provide
specialized machinery to the food, petroleum, transportation and material
handling industries. Industrial Chemicals businesses manufacture a wide variety
of chemicals including soda ash, phosphates and hydrogen peroxide. Major
customers include detergent, glass and paper producers, as well as other
chemical companies. Performance Chemicals develops, manufactures and markets
proprietary specialty chemicals for the agricultural, food and pharmaceutical
industries.

Industry Segments
(c) Narrative Description of Business - Annual Report to Stockholders, pages
6-9
Source and availability of raw materials
----------------------------------------
FMC's natural resource requirements are primarily mineral-oriented.
Substantial portions of requirements for ores and other raw materials,
especially trona and phosphate rock, are produced from mines in the United
States on property held by
FMC under long-term leases which are subject to periodic adjustments of
royalty rates. The Company also owns land, including mineral rights,
relating to an Argentine salar from which it produces lithium. Machinery
operations obtain raw materials, principally steel and castings, from many
foreign and domestic sources. No one source is considered essential to any
of the machinery operations. The Company uses oil, gas, coal, coke,
hydroelectric power and nuclear power to meet its energy needs.
Patents
-------
Although FMC's patents, trademarks and licenses are cumulatively important
to its business, FMC does not believe that the loss of any one or group of
related patents, trademarks or licenses would have a material adverse effect
on the overall business of FMC or on any of its business segments.
Seasonality
-----------
FMC's businesses are not generally considered to be seasonal, although there
has been a bias in the Performance Chemicals segment towards lower
profitability in the fourth quarter primarily due to seasonality in the
markets served by the agricultural products businesses.
Competitive Conditions
----------------------
FMC competes on the basis of price and product performance and is among the
market leaders in most products it manufactures. FMC is the world's largest
producer of natural soda ash, a leading North American producer of hydrogen
peroxide, a leading North American producer of industrial phosphorus
chemicals and a world leader in the mining and processing of lithium
products. FMC manufactures Furadan, one of the largest selling insecticides
in the world. FMC is also the largest worldwide producer of carrageenan,
microcrystalline cellulose, and phosphate ester flame retardants. FMC also
participates in many machinery businesses, including food processing,
material handling and energy equipment, where FMC has a significant market
share. Products are sold in highly competitive markets worldwide.

Corporate -- 1.5 1.0
------ ------ ------
Total $174.0 $176.5 $175.4
====== ====== ======
Expenses increased in Machinery & Equipment primarily as a result of the
inclusion of a full year of operating results of Frigoscandia Equipment,
which was acquired on June 30, 1996, as well as increased spending in the
Company's energy transportation and measurement, and petroleum equipment and
systems businesses. Decreased expenses in Industrial Chemicals primarily
reflect process improvements implemented in 1996 in conjunction with the
completion of the expansion of the Company's Bayport, Texas hydrogen
peroxide plant. Expenses also decreased in Performance Chemicals, due
primarily to the absence of costs associated with the development of several
new herbicides which were introduced in 1997.
Not included in these amounts are costs associated with discontinued
operations, primarily the Company's Defense Systems operations which were
divested in October 1997.

Employees
---------
FMC employs 16,805 people in its domestic and foreign operations.
Approximately 2,540 such employees are represented by collective
bargaining agreements in the United States. In 1998, eight of the Company's
17 contracts will expire. Certain of those contracts are under negotiation
at the present time. FMC maintains good employee relations and has
successfully concluded virtually all of its recent negotiations without a
work stoppage. In those rare instances where a work stoppage has occurred,
there has been no material effect on consolidated sales and earnings.
However, FMC cannot predict the outcome of future contract negotiations.

Forward Looking Statements - Safe Harbor Provisions
---------------------------------------------------
The Company and its representatives may from time to time make written or
oral forward-looking statements with respect to long-term objectives or
expectations of the Company, including statements contained in the Company's
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and in its reports to
stockholders.
The words or phrases "will likely result", "are expected to", "will
continue", "is anticipated", "is predicted", "forecast", "estimate",
"project", or similar expressions identify "forward-looking statements"
within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Such forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from
historical earnings and those presently anticipated or projected. The
Company wishes to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such
forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. In
connection with the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995, the Company is hereby identifying important
factors that could affect the Company's financial performance and could
cause the Company's actual results for future periods to differ materially
from any opinions or statements expressed with respect to future periods in
any current statements.
Among the factors that could have an impact on the Company's ability to
achieve its operating results and growth plan goals are:
. significant price competition, particularly among the Company's
competitors in chemical businesses
. the impact of unforeseen economic and political changes in the
international markets where the Company competes including currency
exchange rates, inflation rates, recessions, foreign ownership
restrictions, and other external factors over which the Company has no
control
. the impact of significant changes in domestic interest rates or taxation
rates
. high ingredient or raw material prices compared to historical levels, or
shortages of ingredients or raw materials
. the inherent risks in the marketplace associated with new product
introductions and technologies, particularly in agricultural and
specialty chemicals
. the risks associated with developing new manufacturing processes,
particularly with respect to complex chemical products
. the ability of the Company to integrate possible future acquisitions
into its existing operations
. the impact of freight transportation delays beyond the control of the
Company
. the inability of the Company or its suppliers or customers to remedy
potential problems with information systems related to the arrival of the
year 2000
. risks associated with joint venture, partnership or limited endeavors in
which the Company may be responsible at least in part for the acts or
omissions of its partners
. risks derived from unforeseen developments in industries served by the
Company such as weather patterns in the agricultural sector, political or
economic changes in the energy industries, and other external factors
over which the Company has no control
. environmental liabilities which may arise in the future and which are not
covered by insurance or indemnity
The Company cautions that the foregoing list of important factors may not be
all inclusive and it specifically declines to undertake any obligation to
publicly revise any forward-looking statements that have been made to
reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to
reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
FMC leases executive offices in Chicago and administrative offices in
Philadelphia. The Company operates 104 manufacturing facilities and mines in 25
countries. The major research facility is in Princeton, NJ. FMC holds mining
leases on shale and ore deposits in Idaho to supply its phosphorus plant in
Pocatello, and owns substantial phosphatic ore deposits in Rich County, Utah.
Trona ore, used for soda ash production in Green River, WY, is mined primarily
from property held under long-term lease. FMC owns the land and mineral rights
to the Salar del Hombre Muerto lithium reserves in Argentina. Many of FMC's
chemical plants require the basic raw materials which are provided by these FMC-
owned or -leased mines, without which other sources would have to be obtained.
With regard to FMC's mining properties operated under long-term leases, no
single lease or related group of leases is material to the businesses of the
Company as a whole.
Most of FMC's plant sites are owned, with an immaterial number of them being
leased. FMC believes its properties and facilities meet present requirements
and are in good operating condition and that each of its significant
manufacturing facilities is operating at a level consistent with the industry in
which it operates. FMC's production properties for continuing operations are:

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Environmental Proceedings
- -------------------------
An environmental inspection was conducted in July 1993 at FMC's Phosphorus
Chemicals Division ("PCD") plant in Pocatello, Idaho. In August 1994, the
United States Environmental Protection Agency (Region 10) ("EPA") formally
notified FMC of a number of alleged violations of the Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act and related environmental regulations governing the management of
hazardous waste generated by the plant, including the operations of hazardous
waste storage and treatment units without interim status, the failure to submit
timely closure plans, the failure to comply with related reporting requirements
and the existence of several other improper treatment and disposal practices.
Although there are no legal proceedings pending at this time, FMC has been
advised that the matter has been referred to the United States Department of
Justice for an evaluation of whether to file a civil enforcement action. If
such a civil action is filed, the government is likely to demand both injunctive
relief and civil penalties. FMC has had extensive discussions with the
Department of Justice and the EPA concerning substantial proposed environmental
projects involving pond closure and remediation, changes to waste handling
practices and additional air control in an effort to settle this matter in
advance of litigation. See Note 4 to the 1997 consolidated financial statements
(pages 41-42 of the 1997 Annual Report to Stockholders) for a discussion of an
expected increase in capital costs for environmental compliance, which
contributed to an impairment in the value of PCD's assets during the fourth
quarter of 1997.
In a separate matter, the EPA issued a draft Risk Assessment on August 17, 1995
for the Eastern Michaud Flats Superfund site, which includes FMC's Pocatello
phosphorus facility, identifying potential risks from contamination potentially
associated with FMC. Release of the Risk Assessment allowed FMC to complete a
draft of the Remedial Investigation documenting the nature and extent of
contamination from the site. The company submitted its draft Remedial
Investigation to the EPA on September 28, 1995. On April 21, 1997, the EPA
issued for public comment its proposed remediation plan for the site. The EPA's
preferred remediation alternative is a combination of capping, surface runoff
controls and institutional controls for soils, and extraction and recycling for
hydraulic control of groundwater. While the company is still reviewing the
EPA's proposed plans, FMC believes its reserve at December 31, 1997 of $66.1
million for future environmental costs at the Eastern Michaud Flats site
adequately provides for the estimated costs of the proposed Superfund
remediation plan for the site.
See Note 15 to the 1997 consolidated financial statements (pages 50-51 of the
1997 Annual Report to Stockholders) for a discussion of legal proceedings
against other Potentially Responsible Parties and insurers for contribution
and/or coverage with respect to environmental remediation costs.
Other
- -----
A former employee of FMC brought a qui tam lawsuit in 1986 in federal district
court in San Jose, California, claiming that FMC had not produced the Bradley
Fighting Vehicle
in accordance with Government specifications. The Department of Justice declined
to intervene in the case, in which the plaintiff has alleged substantial
monetary damages. FMC management believes that the claims in this case are
without merit and the Company continues to defend this matter vigorously. The
trial in this case began in January 1998.
