INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT Plan Administrator MacDermid Equipment 401(k) Plan Waterbury, Connecticut: We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for plan benefits of MacDermid Equipment 401(k) Plan as of March 31, 2000 and 1999 and the related statement of changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the years ended March 31, 2000 and 1999. 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. 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 plan benefits of MacDermid Equipment 401(k) Plan as of March 31, 2000 and 1999 and the changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the years ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our audits were performed 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 at end of year is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is 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 supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole. /s/ KPMG LLP Hartford, Connecticut July 14, 2000 MACDERMID EQUIPMENT, INC. 401(K) PLAN Statement of Net Assets Available for Plan Benefits March 31, 2000 and 1999 ASSETS 2000 1999 ---------------- --------------- Investments, at current value (notes 4 and 5): MacDermid common stock $ 242,545 152,803 Mutual funds 1,322,478 1,287,177 Participant loans receivable 80,659 43,170 ---------------- --------------- Total investments 1,645,682 1,483,150 Employer contribution receivable - 47,134 ---------------- --------------- Total net assets available for Plan Benefits $ 1,645,682 1,530,284 ================ =============== See accompanying notes to financial statements. 2 MACDERMID EQUIPMENT, INC. 401(K) PLAN Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Plan Benefits Years ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 2000 1999 -------------- -------------- Investment income: Dividends: MacDermid Inc. common stock $ 430 - Other securities 74,830 969 -------------- -------------- 75,260 969 -------------- -------------- Interest 2,763 342 Interest on participants loans 6,350 1,355 -------------- -------------- 9,113 1,697 -------------- -------------- Net appreciation (depreciation) of investments (note 6): MacDermid Inc. common stock (76,300) (1,300) Other securities 101,240 72,484 -------------- -------------- 24,940 71,184 -------------- -------------- Total investment income 109,313 73,850 Contributions: Employer 51,247 101,301 Employee 197,842 175,416 Rollover 55,972 31,780 -------------- -------------- Total additions 414,374 382,347 -------------- -------------- Distributions to participants (297,026) (154,595) Other expense, net (1,950) (219) -------------- -------------- Total deductions (298,976) (154,814) -------------- -------------- Net increase 115,398 227,533 Net assets available for plan benefits: Beginning of period 1,530,284 1,302,751 -------------- -------------- End of period $ 1,645,682 1,530,284 ============== ============== See accompanying notes to financial statements. 3 MACDERMID EQUIPMENT 401(K) PLAN Notes to Financial Statements March 31, 2000 and 1999 (1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (a) BASIS OF PRESENTATION The MacDermid Equipment (the Company) 401(k) Plan (the Plan) is a defined contribution plan that was established as of January 1, 1989 under the name of the Hollmuller America, Inc. 401(k) Plan. MacDermid, Inc. had owned 50% of Hollmuller America, Inc. During 1995, MacDermid, Inc. purchased the remaining 50% of Hollmuller America, Inc., and the name of the Plan was changed to the MacDermid Equipment 401(k) Plan. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis. Current values of investments are determined using quoted market prices and current yields. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. The cost of investments sold is determined on an average cost basis. (b) TRUST FUND Great West Life and Annuity Insurance Company was the trustee of the Plan through December 31, 1998. Effective January 1, 1999, Prudential Investments is the Trustee of the Plan. Under the terms of a trust agreement between the Trustee and the Plan, the Trustee manages a trust fund on behalf of the Plan. The Plan Trustee has discretionary authority concerning purchases and sales of investments in the trust fund. The investments and changes therein of this trust fund have been reported to the Plan by the Trustee as having been determined through the use of current values for all assets and liabilities. (c) USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the plan administrator to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. (d) PAYMENT OF BENEFITS Benefits are recorded when paid. 4 (Continued) MACDERMID EQUIPMENT 401(K) PLAN Notes to Financial Statements March 31, 2000 and 1999 (2) PLAN PROVISIONS Under the terms of the Plan, an employee is eligible to become a participant in the Plan (for the purpose of making employee contributions) upon the completion of 30 days of employment and reaching the age of 18. For the purpose of receiving Company contributions, an employee is eligible after completing at least 1,000 hours of employment with the Company during the current Plan year and if they are a participant on the last day of the Plan year. An employee may make voluntary pre-tax contributions to the Plan totaling from 1% to 15% of the employee's gross pay, subject to IRS limitations. Contributions toward Company stock (up to 6%) are matched by the Company $0.50 per dollar, to a maximum of 3% of employees' gross pay. Each participant shall direct (to funds) 100% of their contributions. The Company may make profit-sharing contributions to the Plan. This is a discretionary contribution determined by the Board of Directors. Profit-sharing contributions were $0 and $47,134 for the years ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Employees vest immediately as to their contributions. Full vesting with respect to the Company's contribution requires five years of credited service, except that full vesting will apply when an employee attains age 55, dies or becomes totally disabled. Any forfeited amounts related to the maximum additional 3% of compensation allocated to the Company Stock Fund are used to reduce the cash contribution required by the Company in the following year. At March 31, 2000 and 1999, forfeited amounts to be used to reduce future employer contributions were $6 and $0, respectively. All other forfeitures are allocated on a pro rata basis to Plan participants with at least one year of participation in the Plan based on eligible compensation. Forfeitures used to reduce employer contributions were $0 and $19,232 during the years ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Distribution of participants' accounts upon separation shall be paid in (a) a lump sum, or (b) equal installments. The Company expects to continue the Plan indefinitely, but necessarily reserves the right to amend, modify or terminate the Plan at any time. If it is necessary to discontinue the Plan, the assets in the trust fund will be used to provide benefits in accordance with the provisions of the Plan document. (3) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES The Plan has received a tax determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) indicating that the Plan qualifies under the provisions of Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) and is exempt from federal income taxes. The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter. However, the Company believes the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable sections of the IRC. 5 (Continued) MACDERMID EQUIPMENT 401(K) PLAN Notes to Financial Statements March 31, 2000 and 1999 Plan participants are taxed on Plan benefits at the time of distribution to the extent such distribution exceeds a participant's post-tax contribution to the Plan. The Plan withholds the mandatory 20% federal tax from all taxable distributions which are not direct rollovers. The tax consequences to the participant will depend on the type of distribution (lump sum, annuity, or installments). (4) INVESTMENT PROGRAMS Plan participants may elect from among fifteen separate investment funds in which to have their contributions and a portion of the Company's contribution invested. Effective March 31, 2000, the Prudential mutual funds were invested in Z shares verus A shares. The fifteen investment funds of the Plan as of March 31, 2000 are as follows: (1) OPPENHEIMER QUEST VALUE A (QFVFX) - Seeks capital appreciation.

Once an election is made to allocate funds to the Employer Stock Fund, the funds may not be transferred out, except that participants over the age of 55 may transfer certain funds out of the Employer Stock Fund. During the Plan year, the Stable Value fund was replaced with Prudential Money Mart Assets Fund. Also, the Prudential Intermediate Global Fund was discontinued and the Prudential Global Total Return Fund was introduced. (5) INVESTMENTS In September 1999, The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position 99-3, Accounting for and Reporting of Certain Defined Contribution Plan Investments and Other Disclosure Matters (SOP 99-3). SOP 99-3 simplifies the disclosure for certain investments and is effective for plan years ended after December 15, 1999. The Plan adopted SOP 99-3 during the Plan year ended March 31, 2000. Accordingly, information previously required to be disclosed about participant directed fund investment programs is not presented in the Plan's financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2000. The Plan's financial statements for the year ended March 31, 1999 have been reclassified to conform with the current year's presentation. 7 (Continued) MACDERMID EQUIPMENT 401(K) PLAN Notes to Financial Statements March 31, 2000 and 1999 The following table represents the cost and fair value of investments.
