                         Report of Independent Auditors
                         ------------------------------

To the Pension and Employee Benefit Committee of Engelhard Corporation:

     We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for
benefits of the Engelhard Corporation Savings Plan for Hourly Paid Employees as
of December 31, 2002 and 2001 and the related statements of changes in net
assets available for benefits for the years then ended. 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. 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 benefits of the plan at
December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the changes in it's net assets available for
benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States.

     Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial
statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedules of assets
(held at end of year) as of December 31, 2002 and reportable transactions for
the year then ended are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are
not a required part of the 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 supplemental schedules are the responsibility of the Plan's
management. The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in our audits of the financial statements, and in our
opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial
statements taken as a whole.

                                       8


Participant Accounts
--------------------
     Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contributions
and allocations of (a) the Company Contributions and (b) plan earnings including
realized gains/losses, unrealized appreciation/depreciation, and an allocation
of fund expenses. Allocations are based on participant earnings or account
balances, as defined. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the
benefit that can be provided from the participants account.

Vesting
-------
     Participants at all times have a fully vested and non-forfeitable interest
in their contributions and in the matching contributions allocated to their
account.

Plan Termination
----------------
     Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the
right under the plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to
terminate the plan subject to the provisions of ERISA.

Loan Provision
--------------
     Participants may borrow from their funds accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to
a maximum equal to 50% of their fund balance or $50,000, whichever is less. The
loans are secured by the balance in the Participant's accounts and bear interest
at a reasonable rate as determined by the Company in accordance with applicable
laws and regulations. Principal and interest is paid ratably through monthly
payroll deductions. Loans are generally five years in duration unless the loan
is for the purchase of a primary residence in which case the term can be up to
ten years.

Distributions and Withdrawals
-----------------------------
     Upon termination of employment, as provided in the Plan Document, employees
generally have the option of taking a distribution, rolling the balance over
into another qualified plan, or leaving the money in the Plan until retirement.
After-tax contributions may be withdrawn at any time, however, the earnings on
the contributions will be subject to current income taxes as well as a penalty
for early withdrawal unless the participant has reached the age of 59 1/2. All
distributions are made in the form of cash except the balance in the Engelhard
stock fund may be made in the form of shares at the Participant's discretion.

     The Plan under certain circumstances permits hardship withdrawals. The
hardship withdrawals are only made in accordance with IRS guidelines and must be
approved in advance by the Employee Benefit Plans Administrative Committee.

Other
-----
     Certain reclassifications have been made to prior years figures to conform
to current years presentation.

Note 2 -      Accounting Policies

    The accounts of the Plan are maintained on an accrual basis. Purchases and
sales of investments are reflected on a trade date basis. Assets of the Plan are
valued at fair value. Gains and losses on distributions to Participants and
sales of investments are based on average cost.





                                        9


     The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

     The Plan provides for various investment options in any combination of
stocks or mutual funds. Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such
as interest rate, market and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated
with certain investment securities and the level of uncertainty related to
changes in the value of investment securities, it is at least reasonably
possible that changes in market value in the near term would materially affect
Participants' account balances and the amounts reported in the Statement of Net
Assets Available for Benefits and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets
Available for Benefits.


Note 3 -      Income Tax Status

     The Plan has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue
Service dated March 29, 1995, stating that the Plan is qualified under Section
401 (a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and, therefore, the related
trust is exempt from taxation. Subsequent to this issuance of the determination
letter, the Plan was amended. The plan has applied for but not yet received a
new determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service. Once qualified, the
Plan is required to operate in conformity with the Code to maintain its
qualification. The plan administrator believes the Plan is being operated in
compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code and, therefore, believes
that the Plan, as amended, is qualified and the related trust is tax exempt.

Note 4 -      Administrative Expenses

     Expenses are incurred at either the fund level or the Plan level. All
expenses incurred by the fund (commissions, management fees, etc.) are paid out
of investor assets and are therefore netted in unrealized
appreciation/depreciation of investments in the statement of changes in net
assets available for benefits. Loan administration expenses are included in
other expenses in the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits.
Commissions on the purchase of Engelhard Corporation stock incurred when such
purchases are made in the stock market are netted in unrealized
appreciation/depreciation of investments in the statement of changes in net
assets available for benefits. The Company pays all other plan administrative

Note 5 -      Concentrations of Credit Risk

     Investments in securities are generally exposed to various risks, such as
interest rate, credit, and overall volatility risks.

     Financial instruments which potentially subject the plan to concentration
of credit risk consist principally of investments in the Engelhard Corporation
Stock Fund. The plan limits the concentration of credit risk by allowing
participants, subject to the lapsing of restrictions, the opportunity to invest
in an array of mutual funds offered by the Vanguard Group.

Note 6 -      Investments

     Investments in the common stock of the Company are valued at the
readily-available, quoted market price as of the valuation date and investments
in Vanguard Funds are valued based on the quoted net asset value (redemption
value) of the respective investment fund as of the valuation date.

Note 7 -      Related Party Transactions

     For the 2002 plan year the Company transferred 35,033 treasury stock shares
(representing a contribution dollar amount of $926,905) to Vanguard to fund the
employer match. The number of shares transferred each month represented the
employer matching contribution divided by the closing market price on the day
the contribution was remitted.

     During the year in the ordinary course of doing business, various Vanguard
funds may take a position in Engelhard Corporation common stock. On February 12,
2002, the Vanguard Windsor Fund filed Form 13G with the Securities and Exchange
Commission indicating they held 10,454,200 shares or 8.06% of Company Stock. On
February 13, 2003 and amended Form 13G was filed indicating they held 9,566,700
or 7.49% of Company Stock.

Note 8 - Subsequent Event

     On September 19, 2002, the Company and its partner, Fimalac, formally
agreed to adopt a plan to unwind their Paris-based joint venture,
Engelhard-CLAL LLP. As part of the distribution of assets Engelhard received
certain US-based operations. As a result, on January 1, 2003, the net assets of
the Engelhard-CLAL LP Plan for Hourly Paid Employees were merged into the
Engelhard Corporation Savings Plan for Hourly Paid Employees. A total of
$3,733,127, representing the net assets of the Engelhard-CLAL LP Plan for Hourly
Paid Employees on December 31, 2002, was transferred to the Engelhard
Corporation Savings Plan for Hourly Paid Employees.
