INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT Plan Administration Committee MacDermid Equipment, Inc. 401K Plan: We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan benefits of MacDermid Equipment, Inc. 401K Plan as of March 31, 2001 and 2000 and the related statements of changes in net assets available for plan 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 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, Inc. 401K Plan as of March 31, 2001 and 2000 and the changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the years then ended 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 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 June 22, 2001 MACDERMID EQUIPMENT, INC. 401K PLAN Statements of Net Assets Available for Plan Benefits March 31, 2001 and 2000 ASSETS 2001 2000 ------ ------ Assets: Investments, at fair value (note 5): MacDermid Company Stock Fund $ 287,924 242,545 Other investments 1,177,581 1,403,137 ----------- --------- Total investments 1,465,505 1,645,682 Cash 25,574 -- ----------- --------- Total assets 1,491,079 1,645,682 ----------- --------- Liabilities: Due to trustee (note 8) (10,944) -- ----------- --------- Total liabilities (10,944) -- ----------- --------- Net assets available for plan benefits $ 1,480,135 1,645,682 =========== ========= See accompanying notes to financial statements. 2 MACDERMID EQUIPMENT, INC. 401K PLAN Statements of Changes in Net Assets Available for Plan Benefits Years ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 2001 2000 ------ ------ Investment income: Dividend and interest income on securities $ 86,230 78,023 Interest on participant loans 7,227 6,350 Net appreciation (depreciation) in fair value of investments (note 6) (315,058) 24,940 ----------- --------- Total investment income (loss) (221,601) 109,313 Contributions: Employer 95,258 51,247 Employee 175,799 197,842 Rollover 918 55,972 ----------- --------- Total additions 50,374 414,374 ----------- --------- Distributions to participants (203,707) (297,026) Other, net (12,214) (1,950) ----------- --------- Total deductions (215,921) (298,976) ----------- --------- Net increase (decrease) (165,547) 115,398 Net assets available for plan benefits, beginning of year 1,645,682 1,530,284 ----------- --------- Net assets available for plan benefits, end of year $ 1,480,135 1,645,682 =========== ========= See accompanying notes to financial statements. 3 MACDERMID EQUIPMENT, INC. 401K PLAN Notes to Financial Statements March 31, 2001 and 2000 (1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (a) BASIS OF PRESENTATION The MacDermid Equipment, Inc. (the Company) 401K 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, Inc. 401K 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 Prudential Investments was the Trustee of the Plan through December 31, 2000. Effective January 1, 2001, First Union National Bank is the Trustee of the Plan. The assets of the Plan were transferred in January 2001. 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management of the Plan 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. (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. 4 (Continued) MACDERMID EQUIPMENT, INC. 401K PLAN Notes to Financial Statements March 31, 2001 and 2000 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 $42,822 and $0 for the years ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Employees vest immediately in 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 MacDermid Company Stock Fund are allocated on a pro rata basis to Plan participants with at least one year of participation in the Plan based on eligible compensation. 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. 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). 5 (Continued) MACDERMID EQUIPMENT, INC. 401K PLAN Notes to Financial Statements March 31, 2001 and 2000 (4) INVESTMENT PROGRAMS Plan participants may elect from among 13 separate investment funds in which to have their contributions and a portion of the Company's contribution invested.

Loan transactions are treated as a transfer to (from) the investment fund from (to) the Loan Fund. Loan terms range from 1-5 years or up to 10 years for the purchase of a primary residence. Loans are secured by the balance in a participant's account and bear interest at a rate equal to the prime rate. Principal and interest is paid ratably through regular payroll deductions. (8) DUE TO TRUSTEE During April 2001, it was disclosed by the trustee that an excess amount had been recorded as contributions to the trust in March 2001. This amount is recorded as a payable in the statement of net assets available for plan benefits as of March 31, 2001, and was subsequently repaid in May 2001. (9) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Certain Plan investments are shares of mutual funds managed by First Union and Prudential.
