DOCUMENTS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE
Portions of the Corporation's 2000 Annual Report to Shareholders are
incorporated by reference into Parts I and II hereof and filed as Exhibit 13 to
this Report. The Proxy Statement mailed on or about June 26, 2000 to the
Corporation's stockholders in connection with the annual meeting scheduled for

PART I
Item 1(a) GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS
Incorporated in Connecticut in 1922, MacDermid, Incorporated and its
subsidiaries (collectively, the "Corporation" or "MacDermid") develops, produces
and markets a broad line of specialty chemical products which are used in the
metal and plastic finishing, electronics, offshore lubricants and printing
industries. MacDermid offers a line of horizontal processing equipment used in
conjunction with certain of the Corporation's chemical products. This equipment
is used primarily in the production of printed circuit boards and in chemical
machining.
In December 1995, MacDermid acquired the assets, subject to certain liabilities
of the Electronics and Printing Division of Hercules Incorporated. The acquired
business consists principally of the manufacture and sale of proprietary
products including photo-resists, used to imprint electrical patterns on circuit
boards, and photo-polymer printing, which reproduces quality graphics on package
printing and in-store displays. The acquisition, accounted for as a purchase
transaction, was financed at closing, through bank borrowings and the issuance
of preferred stock. The preferred stock was completely redeemed by utilizing a
portion of a revolving credit facility, in May 1997.
In December 1998, MacDermid acquired 95% of the outstanding share capital of W.
Canning, plc and in February 1999, the remaining shares were acquired, by the
Corporation, through a statutory compulsory procedure. The acquired business
consists principally of the manufacture and sale of proprietary products
including metal and plastic finishing for automotive and other consumer surface
finishing industries, offshore fluids for oil drilling and exploration, as well
as, sealants, adhesives and fuel and water additives. The acquisition,
accounted for as a purchase transaction, was financed through bank borrowings.
In December 1999, MacDermid completed a merger with PTI Inc. The acquisition
was accounted for as a pooling-of-interests transaction. The Corporation issued
6,999,968 shares and share equivalents of its common stock in exchange for all
of the outstanding shares of PTI Inc. This business firmly establishes the
Corporation in the printing industry. The acquired business consists primarily
of the manufacture and sale of proprietary products including offset blankets,
textile blankets, printing plates and rubber based covers for industrial
rollers.
The Corporation's original listing application to the New York Stock Exchange
was accepted on February 26, 1998 and since this date its common shares have
traded on the N.Y.S.E., under the symbol "MRD". Prior to that, and since 1966,
the Corporation's common shares had traded on the NASDAQ stock market.
The Corporation's Board of Directors authorized a three-for-one stock split on
February 6, 1998, which distributed the shares on April 1, 1998 to common
shareholders of record at the close of business on March 16, 1998.
For a description of the Corporation's business, see Item 1(c) on the following
page.
Item 1(b) FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT INDUSTRY SEGMENTS
MacDermid provides development, manufacture, sale and technical service for a
large variety of specialty chemical processes and related equipment in two
reportable industry segments: Advanced Surface Finishes and Graphic Arts. These
two segments, under which the Corporation operates on a worldwide basis, are
managed separately as each segment has differences in technology and marketing
strategies.



Item 1(c) of this Report provides information concerning the Corporation's
classes of products and Item 1(d) of this report includes financial information
concerning operations by business segment and by geographic region as well as on
a consolidated basis. Additional information with respect to the business is
shown in the notes to Consolidated Financial Statements portion of the
Corporation's 2000 Annual Report to Shareholders, included as Exhibit 13 to this
Form 10-K, and is incorporated by reference.

Item 1(c) NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
(i) MacDermid produces and markets over 5,000 proprietary chemical compounds.
These proprietary chemical compounds are used for cleaning, activating and
polishing, mechanical plating, mechanical galvanizing, electro-plating,
phosphatizing metal surfaces, stripping of metal and final coating of metal
surfaces, filtering, anti-tarnishing, rust retarding and etching, imaging,
deposition of metal, offshore lubricants, sealants, adhesives, water and oil
treatments and other chemical processes. Research in connection with
proprietary products is conducted principally in the United States, with
additional research facilities in Great Britain, France and Japan.
In the Americas, the Corporation markets its entire line of products through
more than 240 sales and service personnel employed by it and, in certain areas
of the United States, through distributors and manufacturing representatives.
The Corporation maintains chemical inventories at more than 25 distribution
points throughout the United States. Typically these facilities are leased or
rented. In Canada, Mexico and Brazil the Corporation both manufactures and
markets certain of its products through wholly owned subsidiaries. In Vermont a
wholly owned subsidiary manufactures and markets equipment in conjunction with
the proprietary chemical business.
In Europe, the Corporation markets its proprietary products through wholly owned
subsidiaries. European sales are made from inventory stock through more than
360 sales and service representatives who are employed by the Corporation's
subsidiaries located in France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Holland, Spain,
Sweden and Switzerland. MacDermid owns and operates subsidiary manufacturing
facilities in Spain, Great Britain, Germany and France. In Germany a wholly
owned subsidiary manufactures and markets equipment in conjunction with the
proprietary chemical business.
In the Asia/Pacific region, the Corporation markets its proprietary products
through wholly owned subsidiaries in Australia, China/Hong Kong, Japan, Korea,
New Zealand, Singapore, and Taiwan, and sales are made through more than 50
sales and service representatives who are employed by local subsidiaries. In
addition, sales are made in India, Malaysia, The Philippines and Thailand
directly or through distributors. MacDermid owns and operates subsidiary
manufacturing facilities in Taiwan, Australia and New Zealand. In Taiwan a
wholly owned subsidiary manufactures and markets equipment in conjunction with
the proprietary chemical business.
In other foreign markets certain of the Corporation's proprietary chemicals are
manufactured and sold and in certain countries in South America, Europe and
Asia, the Corporation's products are sold through distributors or manufactured
and sold through licensees.
Chemicals, supplies and equipment manufactured by others and resold by MacDermid
consist of basic chemicals, automatic plating conveyors, barrel plating and
pollution control equipment, rectifiers, pumps and filters. Resale items are
marketed in conjunction with and as an aid to the sale of proprietary chemicals.


MacDermid's principal products fall into the three following classes:
(A) Chemical compounds produced by the Corporation, most of which are the
result of its own research and development and, therefore, are referred to as
proprietary products;
(B) Equipment in support of the chemical business of which approximately 60%
is manufactured by the Corporation; and
(C) Resale chemicals and supplies.




The following table sets forth the classes of MacDermid's products and the
respective percentage of total consolidated revenue for each of the last three
fiscal years:


CLASS OF PRODUCTS 2000 1999 1998
- --------------------- ----- ----- -----


Proprietary Chemicals 89% 88% 93%
Equipment 5% 7% 4%
Resale Chemicals and
Supplies 6% 5% 3%




(ii) MacDermid uses in excess of 1,100 chemicals as raw materials in the
manufacture of its proprietary products. With few exceptions, several domestic
sources of supply are available for all such raw materials and for resale
chemicals, supplies and equipment. During fiscal 2000, there were no
significant difficulties in obtaining raw materials essential to its business.
(iii) During fiscal 2000, approximately 20% of MacDermid's proprietary sales
were derived from products covered by patents owned by the Corporation or
produced under patent license agreements. MacDermid owns more than 70
non-expired U.S. Patents, for which corresponding patents have been obtained or
are pending in most industrialized nations, and has more than 20 patent
applications pending in the U.S. The patents owned by the Corporation are
important to its business and have varying remaining lives. Although certain of
the Corporation's patents are increasingly more important to its business, the
Corporation believes that its ability to provide technical and testing services
to its customers and to meet the rapid delivery requirements of its customers is
equally, if not more, important. In addition, MacDermid has many proprietary
products which are not covered by patents and which make a large contribution to
its total sales. Further, the Corporation owns a number of domestic and foreign
trade names and trademarks for which it considers to be of value in identifying
MacDermid and its products. The Corporation neither holds nor has granted any
franchises or concessions.
(iv) No material portion of the Corporation's business is seasonal.
(v) It is necessary to maintain finished goods inventory at locations
throughout the United States and in the foreign countries in which the
Corporation operates so that it may meet the rapid delivery requirements of its
customers. This impacts working capital requirements by requiring a
considerable investment in inventories to service its customers. Customer
payment terms, which vary by country, are generally in accord with local
industry practice.
(vi) No major portion of the Corporation's business is dependent upon a
single customer or a few customers, the loss of whom would have a materially
adverse effect on its business.
(vii) Since products are taken from inventory stock to ship against current
orders, there is essentially no backlog of orders for the Corporation's
proprietary chemical products. MacDermid does not consider the absence of a
backlog to be significant.
(viii) No material portion of MacDermid's business is subject to
re-negotiation of profits or termination of contracts or subcontracts at the
election of the Government.
(ix) The Corporation provides a broad line of proprietary chemical compounds
and supporting services. MacDermid has many competitors, estimated to be in
excess of 100 in some proprietary product areas. Some large competitors operate
globally, as does MacDermid, but most operate locally or regionally. To the
best of the Corporation's knowledge no single competitor competes with all its
proprietary products. The Corporation maintains extensive supporting technical
and testing services for its customers, and is continuously developing new
products. Management believes that the Corporation's combined abilities to
manufacture, sell, service and develop new products and applications enables it
to compete successfully both locally and world-wide.
(x) MacDermid spent approximately $22,548,000, $21,500,000 and $20,618,000
during fiscal years 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively, on research and
development activities. Substantially all research and development activities
were sponsored by the Corporation with the greater percentage related to the
development of new products.
(xi) For many years, MacDermid has developed proprietary products designed
to reduce the discharge of pollutant materials into the environment and
eliminate the use of certain targeted raw materials while enhancing the
efficiency of customer chemical processes. For this reason, efforts to comply
with Federal, State and local provisions, which have been enacted or adopted
regulating the discharge of materials into the environment, may have had a
positive effect upon the Corporation's competitive position. Capital
expenditures of an estimated $1 million has been spent for environmental control
facilities annually. Though difficult to predict, future spending for this
purpose is likely to average roughly 5% of the capital budget.
(xii) MacDermid employed 3,164 and 2,520 full time, regular employees as of
March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

MacDermid's 2000 Annual Report to Shareholders, included as Exhibit 13 to this
Form 10-K and incorporated by reference, provides information with respect to

MATTERS

paid and other related information is contained in its 2000 Annual Report to
Shareholders included as Exhibit 13 to this form 10-K and incorporated by
reference.
Item 6 SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

Item 7 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations is contained in MacDermid's 2000 Annual Report to Shareholders
included as Exhibit 13 to this Form 10-K and incorporated by reference.
Item 7(a) QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Corporation is exposed to market risk in the normal course of its business
operations due to its operations in different foreign currencies and its ongoing
investing and financing activities. The risk of loss can be assessed from the
perspective of adverse changes in fair values, cash flows and future earnings.
The Corporation has established policies and procedures governing its management
of market risks and the use of financial instruments to manage exposure to such
risks.
The Corporation is exposed to interest rate risk primarily from its credit
facility which is based upon various floating rates. At March 31, 2000, the
Corporation had entered into interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional
amount that approximates one-third of its borrowings. The resulting
weighted-average fixed interest rate is 6.2%. Based upon expected levels of
borrowing under this facility in 2001, an increase in interest rates of 100
basis points would result in an incremental $2.8 million interest expense and
would not have a material adverse affect on the Corporation's consolidated
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
The Corporation operates manufacturing facilities in eight countries and sells
products in over 25 countries. Approximately 45% of the Corporation's sales are
denominated in currencies other than the US Dollar. Historically, the
Corporation returns slightly less than 10% on sales and foreign exchange
fluctuations have not had any significantly measurable effect on earnings.
Furthermore, those earnings are generally reinvested locally and the impact on
operating cash flows has been less than $3.5 million annually. Management
continually reviews the balance between foreign currency denominated assets and
liabilities in order to minimize the exposure to foreign exchange fluctuations.
The Corporation does not enter into any derivative financial instruments for
trading purposes, nor does it enter into any foreign currency hedging. The
Corporation has certain supply agreements for quantities but has chosen not to
enter into any price hedging with its suppliers for commodities. Additional
information about market risk is contained in MacDermid's 2000 Annual Report to
Shareholders included as Exhibit 13 to this Form 10-K and incorporated by
reference.
