PART I
ITEM 1:BUSINESS
Item 1(a) GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS
Established in Waterbury, Connecticut, in 1922, MacDermid, Incorporated and its
subsidiaries' (collectively, the "Corporation" or "MacDermid") common shares
have traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "MRD" since 1998.
Prior to that, and since 1966, its common shares were traded on the NASDAQ stock
exchange. The Corporation develops, produces and markets a broad line of
specialty chemical products that are used worldwide. These products are
supplied to the metal and plastic finishing markets (for automotive and other
applications), the electronics industry (to imprint electrical patterns on
circuit boards), the offshore oil and gas markets (for oil drilling and
exploration) and to the commercial printing and packaging industries (for image
transfer and offset printing applications). The Corporation, through its
majority owned subsidiary, also designs and manufactures electronic circuit
boards. For a further description of the Corporation's business, see Items
1(b), 1(c) and 1(d).
During 2001, the Corporation changed its fiscal year end from March 31, to
December 31. Therefore, the results of operations for the period from April 1,
2001 to December 31, 2001 (referred to as "transition year 2001") covers a
period of nine months.
Item 1(b) FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT INDUSTRY SEGMENTS
The Corporation develops, manufactures, and markets over 5,000 proprietary
chemical compounds. The Corporation operates on a worldwide basis, supplying
proprietary chemicals for two distinct segments, Advanced Surface Finishing and
Printing Solutions (formerly Graphic Arts). A third segment, Electronics
Manufacturing designs and manufactures printed circuit boards in Europe through
a majority owned subsidiary. These three segments, under which the Corporation
operates, 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 2002 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 develops, manufactures and markets a broad line of specialty
chemicals, solutions and other products for three distinct businesses segments:
Advanced Surface Finishing, Printing Solutions and Electronics Manufacturing.
The Advanced Surface Finishing segment's proprietary chemical compounds are
primarily used for automotive, electrical and other industrial applications. In
automotive and other applications its products are used for cleaning,
activating, polishing, mechanical plating, mechanical galvanizing,
electro-plating, phosphatizing, stripping and coating, filtering,
anti-tarnishing and rust retarding for metal and plastic surfaces. In
electronic applications its products are used to etch copper and imprint
electrical patterns on circuit boards and in offshore oil and gas exploration
its chemicals and fluids are used in hydraulic systems as lubricants and
cleaning agents to assist in drilling and logging operations. MacDermid also
offers a line of horizontal processing equipment primarily for the production of
printed circuit boards and chemical machining applications used in conjunction
with certain of its chemical products.
The Printing Solutions segment's complete line of offset and textile printing
blankets and photo-polymer plates are used by commercial printing and packaging
industries. These products allow for both image transfer in flexographic
applications and in offset printing applications. Its products are used to
improve print quality and productivity for commercial printing. It also
manufactures and markets a complete line of digital printers with color graphics
and other features.
The Electronics Manufacturing segment is a leading designer and manufacturer of
both single-sided and double-sided printed circuit boards in Europe through its
majority owned subsidiary Eurocir SA.
In the Americas, MacDermid markets its entire line of proprietary products by
way of more than 280 sales and service personnel. In certain areas of the
United States, distributors and manufacturing representatives also sell and
service many of its products. The Corporation maintains chemical inventories at
approximately 14 distribution points throughout the United States. Typically,
these facilities are leased or rented. MacDermid owns and operates six
manufacturing facilities within the United States. In Canada, Mexico and Brazil
the Corporation markets certain of its products through wholly owned
subsidiaries.
In Europe, the Corporation markets its proprietary products through wholly owned
subsidiaries. European business is generated by way of more than 380 sales and
service representatives who are employed by the Corporation's subsidiaries
located in France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Holland, Spain, and Sweden.
MacDermid owns and operates manufacturing facilities in Spain, Great Britain,
Italy, France and Germany. 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 either wholly owned subsidiaries or branch operations in Australia,
China/Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, New Zealand, Singapore, and Taiwan. Asia-Pacific
business is generated by way of more than 260 sales and service representatives
who are employed by those local subsidiaries. In addition, sales are made in
India, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Vietnam
directly or through distributors. MacDermid owns and operates subsidiary
manufacturing facilities in Taiwan, mainland China, Japan, Australia and New
Zealand.
In other foreign markets some of the Corporation's proprietary chemicals are
sold in certain countries of South America, Europe and Asia through distributors
or are manufactured and sold through licensees.
Research in connection with proprietary products is performed principally in the
United States, with additional research support activities conducted in Great
Britain, Spain, France and Japan.
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.
(ii) The Corporation has the following four classes of principal products:
a) chemical compounds, printing plates and blankets 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) printed circuit boards for a wide variety of consumer applications;
(c) resale non-proprietary chemicals and supplies; and
(d) equipment in support of the chemical business of which approximately 30% is
manufactured by the Corporation.
The following table sets forth the classes of the Corporation's products and the
respective percentage of total consolidated revenue for the year 2002 and the
previous two fiscal years:
Class of Products . . . . . . December 31, 2002 Transition Year 2001 March 31, 2001
Proprietary chemicals . . . . 82% 82% 89%
Electronic boards . . . . . . 12% 12% 4%
Resale chemicals and supplies 4% 3% 4%
Equipment . . . . . . . . . . 2% 3% 3%
(iii) 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 year 2002, there were no
significant difficulties in obtaining raw materials essential to its business.
(iv) For the year ended December 31, 2002, more than 20% of the
Corporation's proprietary sales were derived from products covered by patents
owned by MacDermid or produced under patent license agreements. MacDermid owns
approximately 190 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. In addition, the Corporation owns
approximately 445 non-expired foreign patents. The patents owned by the
Corporation are important to its business and have varying remaining lives.
Although certain of these 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.
(v) No material portion of the Corporation's business is seasonal. The
Corporation records revenue from product sales, including freight charged to
customers, upon shipment to the customer if the collection of the resulting
receivable is probable The Corporation's stated shipping terms are FOB
shipping point and CIP shipping point and do not include customer inspection or
acceptance provisions. Where circumstances arise where title has not passed, or
revenue is not earned the Corporation defers revenue recognition in accordance
with criteria set forth in Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, Revenue
Recognition in Financial Statements.
(vi) 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.
(vii) 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.
(viii) 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.
(ix) No portion of the Corporation's business is subject to re-negotiation
of profits or termination of contracts or subcontracts at the election of the
Government.
(x) 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 support, 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 worldwide.
(xi) MacDermid spent approximately $19,104,000 during fiscal year 2002,
$14,922,000 for transition year 2001 and $24,466,000 for fiscal year 2001 on
research and development activities. Substantially all research and development
activities were performed by the Corporation with the greater percentage related
to the development of new products.
(xii) 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, are expected to have
a positive effect upon the Corporation's competitive position. Capital
expenditure for environmental control facilities and compliance has been
approximately $500,000 to $1,000,000 historically. For the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2002, spending of this nature continued at these levels and though
difficult to predict, future spending of this nature is likely to remain in this
range.
(xiii) As of December 31, 2002, MacDermid had 3,166 full time employees as
compared to 3,484 full time employees as of December 31, 2001.
Item 1(d) FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC OPERATIONS
The Corporation's 2002 Annual Report to Shareholders, included as Exhibit 13 to
this Form 10-K and is incorporated by reference, provides information with
respect to business segment, geographic regions as well as on a consolidated
basis, including operating information and the effect upon shareholders' equity

The Corporation also owns property in Franklin Park and Waukeegan, Illinois;
Adams, Massachusetts; New Hudson, Michigan; and Vernon, Connecticut. Outside
the United States, the Corporation also owns property in Droitwich, England.
These properties are vacant and could be used for manufacturing should the need
arise, or could be leased or sold should an opportunity arise.
In addition, MacDermid leases office, laboratory, warehouse and manufacturing
facilities as needed. During the year, such facilities were leased in
California, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, North Carolina, New Jersey,
Rhode Island, Texas, Vermont, Washington, Canada, Mexico, Holland, Italy,
France, Germany, Spain, Sweden, Australia, China, Japan, Korea, Singapore, New
Zealand and several other foreign countries. All owned and leased facilities
are in good condition and are of adequate size for present business volume.
ITEM 3: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On June 25, 2002, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency brought an
administrative complaint against the Adams, Massachusetts manufacturing facility
owned by MacDermid Printing Solutions, LLC, alleging that the facility violated
certain regulations and permit requirements regarding air emissions and related
record keeping matters. The allegations arise primarily out of conduct that
allegedly occurred prior to the Corporation's acquisition of the facility
through its December 1999 acquisition of Polyfibron Technologies, Inc. The
Corporation has entered into a settlement with the EPA regarding these
allegations. The settlement required a payment of $230,000 and resolved the
issues alleged.
On January 30, 1997, the Corporation was served with a subpoena from a federal
grand jury in Connecticut requesting certain documents relating to an accidental
spill from its Huntingdon Avenue, Waterbury, Connecticut facility that occurred
in November of 1994, together with other information relating to operations and
compliance at the Huntingdon Avenue facility. The Corporation was subsequently
informed that it was a subject of the grand jury's investigation in connection
with alleged criminal violations of the federal Clean Water Act pertaining to
its wastewater handling practices. In addition, two of the Corporation's former
employees, who worked at the Huntington Avenue facility, pled guilty in early
2001 to misdemeanor violations under the Clean Water Act in connection with the
above matter. These individuals were sentenced to fines of $25,000 and $10,000
and 2 years probation, as well as community service.
In a separate matter, on July 26, 1999, the Corporation was named in a civil
lawsuit commenced in the Superior Court of the State of Connecticut brought by
the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection alleging various
compliance violations at its Huntingdon Avenue and Freight Street locations
between the years 1992 through 1998 relating to wastewater discharges and the
management of waste materials. The complaint alleges violations of its permits
issued under the Federal Clean Water Act and the Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act, as well as procedural, notification and other requirements of
Connecticut's environmental regulations over the foregoing period of time.
The Corporation voluntarily resolved both of these matters on November 28, 2001.
As a result, MacDermid, Incorporated is required to pay fines and penalties
totaling $2,500,000, without interest, over six quarterly installments. As of
December 31, 2002, the Corporation has paid $2,042,000 and will pay the
remaining amount of $458,000 during the quarter ending March 31, 2003. In
addition, the Corporation is required to pay $1,550,000 to various local
charitable and environmental organizations and causes. As of December 31, 2002,
the Corporation has paid $1,420,000 and a final payment for these donations of
$130,000 will be paid on April 30, 2003. The Corporation has been placed on
probation for two years and will perform certain environmental audits, as well
as other environmentally related actions. The Corporation had recorded
liabilities during the negotiation period and therefore its results of
operations and financial position were not affected by these arrangements.
Various other legal proceedings are pending against the Corporation. The
Corporation considers all such proceedings to be ordinary litigation incident to
the nature of its business. Certain claims are covered by liability insurance.
The Corporation believes that the resolution of these claims to the extent not
covered by insurance will not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material
adverse effect on its financial position or results of operations.
ITEM 4: SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
No matters were submitted to a vote of the Corporation's security holders during
the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2002.

OF OPERATIONS
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations is contained in MacDermid's 2002 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.
MacDermid has been exposed to interest rate risk primarily from its credit
facility, which is based upon various floating rates. The Corporation has
entered into interest rate swaps, a portion of which have been designated as
hedging instruments under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.
There were no outstanding borrowings under this facility at December 31, 2002.
The Corporation reduced its exposure to interest rate risk with a fixed rate
bond offering during transition year 2001. See Note 15 to Consolidated
Financial Statements, Financial Information for Guarantors of the Corporation's
Bond Offering. Based upon expected levels of borrowing in 2003 and providing
for swap protection, an increase in interest rates of 100 basis points would
result in an incremental interest expense of approximately $150,000.
The Corporation operates manufacturing facilities in ten countries and sells
products in over 25 countries. Approximately 60% of the Corporation's net sales
and identifiable assets are denominated in currencies other than the US Dollar,
predominantly the Euro, the Pound Sterling, the Yen, Hong Kong and New Taiwan
Dollars. For the year ended December 31, 2002, there was a favorable impact on
earnings of approximately $0.01 per share, or 4%. Earnings are generally
reinvested locally and the impact on operating cash flows has been less than
$2,500,000 annually. Management continually reviews the balance between foreign
currency denominated assets and liabilities in order to minimize the exposure to
foreign exchange fluctuations.
MacDermid does not enter into any derivative financial instruments for trading
purposes. The Corporation has certain other 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 2002 Annual Report to Shareholders included as Exhibit 13 to this
Form 10-K and incorporated by reference.
ITEM 8: FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
The consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, of the
Corporation are contained in MacDermid's 2002 Annual Report to Shareholders
