MACDERMID, INCORPORATED
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)
(In thousands of dollars, except share and per share amounts)

Note 1.                                  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim financial information has been prepared in accordance with the interim reporting rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and therefore does not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted.  The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingencies at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates have been prepared on the basis of the most current and best available information and actual results could differ from those estimates.  Certain amounts in the prior period have been restated to conform to current period presentation, including the December 31, 2005 balance sheet accounts of Goodwill, Intangibles, Total Assets, Accumulated Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income, Total Shareholders’ Equity and Total Liabilities and Shareholders’ Equity (See Notes 2 and 7 below) and the June 30, 2005 foreign currency translation adjustment (see Note 8 below).  Below are tables that present the balances that have been restated from previously reported amounts due to a correction of an error in accounting for the Company’s historical goodwill and intangible balances:

In the opinion of MacDermid, Incorporated  and its subsidiaries (collectively “MacDermid” or the “Company”) management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated  financial statements of the interim periods presented contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of MacDermid as of June 30, 2006 and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.  All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for a full year and cannot be used to indicate financial performance for the entire year.  These financial statements should be read in conjunction

6




 

with the notes to the consolidated financial statements contained in MacDermid’s Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Note 2.                                  Goodwill and Intangible Assets Currency Translation Restatement Adjustments

In the first quarter of 2006, the Company reviewed its foreign currency conversion rates used to convert goodwill and intangible assets. Beginning in 2002, the Company held all goodwill and certain intangible assets related to the acquisition of Canning Ltd. (“Canning intangibles”) constant at historic currency conversion rates, effectively holding the value of goodwill and Canning intangibles constant at 2002 currency conversion rates.  This resulted in an understatement of goodwill and Canning intangibles as of December 31, 2005.  In connection with the Company adopting the provision of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, in the first quarter of 2006, the Company restated the December 31, 2005 balances of Goodwill, Intangibles and Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income to correct an error related to foreign currency translation.  As a result, the Company made certain restatement adjustments to the December 31, 2005 Consolidated Balance Sheet to state these assets at the correct currency conversion rates.   The Company also restated Other Comprehensive Income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 to correct an error related to foreign currency translation (see note 8 below).

Upon further investigation the Company’s management determined that goodwill related to the 1998 acquisition of Canning Ltd. had been pushed-down into the books of the acquisition holding company instead of being pushed-down to the books of the geographic business segments, where it is tested for impairment.  The Company should have allocated the goodwill into the books of the regional business segments benefiting from the acquisition.  The goodwill, however, was pushed-down to, and denominated in British Pounds as opposed to being pushed-down to, and denominated in the currencies of the regions that benefit from the goodwill.

The restatement adjustments necessary to properly convert goodwill and intangible assets are offset with a corresponding restatement adjustment to the Accumulated Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income section of Shareholders’ Equity in the December 31, 2005 Consolidated Balance Sheet, as described in Notes 7 and 8 below.

These restatement adjustments have no impact on earnings as reported in the Company’s financial statements dated December 31, 2005, or any of the tangible assets and liabilities accounts stated therein.  For financial reporting purposes, the Company treated these restatement adjustments similar to a reclassification of the affected December 31, 2005 balances.

The restatement adjustments to the Company’s Goodwill, Intangible Assets, and Accumulated Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income are as follows:

As a result of the above restatement adjustments, the following balance sheet totals changed as follows:

As a result of these restatement adjustments, the Company re-performed its goodwill and intangible assets impairment tests for 2005.  The Company added the respective restatement adjustments and compared the adjusted net assets to the discounted cash flows, as calculated in the original impairment test.  The restatement adjustments noted above did not trigger an impairment, and as such, the Company concluded that there is no impairment to its goodwill or intangible assets (including the Canning intangibles) as a result of the above restatement adjustments.

On June 20, 2001, MacDermid issued 9 1/8% Senior Subordinated Notes (“Bond Offering”) due 2011.  Under the Bond Offering the Company is required to perform tests of certain metrics in order to demonstrate that the Company meets

7




 

restrictive covenants embedded in the Bond Offering.  As a result of the restatement adjustments noted above, the Company restated its goodwill balances and re-performed the net worth, restricted payment, and indebtedness covenant tests as of December 31, 2005, as calculated in accordance with Bond Offering agreement.  The restatement adjustments noted above did not trigger a default, and as such, the Company concluded that the above restatement adjustments had no impact on its Bond Offering covenant tests as of December 31, 2005.

Note 3.                                  New Accounting Standards

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”).  FIN 48 clarifies the accounting and reporting for uncertainties in income tax law.  This Interpretation prescribes a comprehensive model for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns.  We will adopt this Interpretation in the first quarter of 2007.  The cumulative effects, if any, of applying this Interpretation will be recorded as an adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption.  The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the expected effect of FIN 48 on its consolidated financial statements and is currently not yet in a position to determine such effects.

In April 2006, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) FIN 46(R)-6, “Determining the Variability to Be Considered in Applying FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)” (“FSP FIN 46(R)-6”), that will become effective beginning third quarter of 2006. FSP FIN No. 46(R)-6 clarifies that the variability to be considered in applying FASB Interpretation 46(R) shall be based on an analysis of the design of the variable interest entity.   The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the expected effect of FSP FIN No. 46(R)-6 on its consolidated financial statements and is not yet in a position to determine such effects.

In May 2005, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections — a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3 (“SFAS 154”). This statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle and changes required by an accounting pronouncement where no specific transition provisions are included. SFAS 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. Retrospective application is limited to the direct effects of the change; the indirect effects should be recognized in the period of the change.  The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 154 in the first quarter of 2006.  The adoption of SFAS 154 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 4.                                  Acquisitions

On June 14, 2005, MacDermid acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Autotype International Ltd. and associated entities (“Autotype”) from Norcros Industry (International) Limited of the UK.  The Autotype business acquired is a high technology producer of specialty coated film products for the electronics and printing industries. In electronics, Autotype is a producer of hard coated films for the membrane switch and touch screen markets.  In printing, Autotype provides high quality stencil materials and digital pre-press products for screen printing.  The purchase price was $97,031, net of cash acquired of $4,599.

The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, and accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to the acquired assets and liabilities based on preliminary estimates of the fair values of the assets purchased and liabilities assumed as of the date of acquisition.  The estimated purchase price allocations are subject to adjustment, generally within one year of the date of acquisition.  Adjustments to the purchase price allocation during the six months ended June 30, 2006 included primarily the working capital revisions and facility consolidation costs described in Note 12.  Allocation of the purchase price is as follows:

Note 5.                                  Earnings Per Common Share and Other Common Share Information

Earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated based upon net earnings available for common shareholders. The computation of basic earnings per share is based upon the weighted average number of outstanding common shares.  The computation of diluted earnings per share is based upon the weighted average number of outstanding common shares plus the effect of all dilutive contingently issuable common shares from stock options, stock awards and warrants that were outstanding during the period, under the treasury stock method.  For the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, 1,765,726 and 2,418,015, respectively, of options to purchase shares of common stock were outstanding but not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive. For the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, 2,211,699 and 2,417,983, respectively, of options to purchase shares of common stock were outstanding but not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive

Note 6.                                  Stock-Based Plans

MacDermid grants stock options and stock awards to Board members and to employees.   Effective January 1, 2006, MacDermid adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment (“SFAS 123(R)”), which requires the use of the fair value method of accounting for all stock-based compensation, including stock options.  SFAS 123(R) was adopted using the modified prospective method of application.  Under this method, in addition to reflecting compensation expense for new share-based awards, expense is also recognized for those awards vesting in the current period based on the value that had been included in pro forma disclosures in prior periods.  Results from prior periods have not been restated.  Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), MacDermid adopted the fair value expense recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation (“SFAS 123”), prospectively, to all stock options granted, modified or settled after April 1, 2001.  Accordingly, compensation expense was measured using the fair value at the date of grant for options granted after April 1, 2001.  The resulting expense is amortized over the period in which the options are earned.    During the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, $1,482 and $2,079, respectively, was charged to expense related to stock options.  During the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, $1,873 and $3,915, respectively, was charged to expense related to stock options.

The following table presents the weighted-average assumptions used in the option pricing model for stock options granted during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively:

For all of MacDermid’s stock options, the fair value of each grant was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.  The expected life of the stock options represents the period of time the stock options are expected to be outstanding and is based on historical trends.

MacDermid has five stock incentive plans under which there are outstanding stock options.  These plans have different terms and features as described below:

Equity Incentive Plan

In 1996, MacDermid adopted a non-qualified equity incentive plan, approved by the shareholders in July 1995 (the “1995 Plan”).  The 1995 Plan provides for the issuance of up to 900,000 shares.  In February 2006, the Compensation Committee of the Company proposed that the Company’s shareholders consider the following changes to the 1995 plan:

·                  increase the aggregate maximum number of shares that may be granted in any one year from 50,000 to 150,000;

·                  allow the Compensation Committee to place additional restrictions and/or vesting requirements on any award;

·                  shorten the vesting term from four to three years;

·                  increase the retirement age for accelerated vesting from 60 to 65, and

·                  change the pro-rata vesting to one-third per year over the three year vesting period in case of involuntary termination without cause.

The changes above were approved by the Company’s shareholders in May 2006.

All shares of restricted stock issued under this plan must be held and cannot be sold or transferred, except to the Company, for a period of three or four years depending on the date the restricted shares were originally awarded.  The Company recognizes compensation expense for shares issued under this plan equal to the market value of the shares on the date of grant. For stock awards granted prior to 2006, the stock awards are granted at fair market value and the related expense is recognized at the date of grant.  For stock awards granted after January 1, 2006, the stock awards are granted at fair market value and the related expense is recognized over the vesting terms of stock awards.  The amount of expense recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 was $160 and $160, respectively.  The amount of expense recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 was $0 and $135, respectively.  The following table summarizes stock award activity from December 31, 2005 through June 30, 2006 regarding the Company’s equity incentive plan:

Stock Option Plans

The 1992 Plan

In 1993, MacDermid adopted a non-qualified stock option plan, approved by shareholders in July 1992 (the “1992 Plan”).  The 1992 Plan provides for the issuance of up to 2,700,000 shares.  Options granted under the 1992 plan, which vest between four and six years, are generally exercisable at a fixed price that can be as low as two-thirds of the market price at the grant date.  The options are exercisable into restricted shares of common stock, which cannot be sold or transferred, except back to MacDermid at cost, during the four-year period commencing with the exercise date.  In February 2006, MacDermid’s Board of Directors voted to cancel all remaining unissued shares in the 1992 Plan.  As of June 30, 2006, there were 12,065 options outstanding under the 1992 plan.

The 1998 Plan

MacDermid adopted a non-qualified stock option plan, approved by shareholders in July 1999 (the “1998 Plan”).  The 1998 Plan provides for the issuance of up to 1,500,000 shares.  Options granted under the 1998 Plan generally are exercisable during a ten-year period beginning with the grant date, at a fixed price equal to a one-third-premium over market price at the date of grant.  The options are exercisable into unrestricted shares of common stock, except as otherwise provided, under the terms of the plan, at the time of grant.  In February 2006, MacDermid’s Board of Directors voted to cancel all remaining unissued shares in the 1998 Plan.  As of June 30, 2006, there were 793,400 options outstanding under the 1998 plan.

The 2001 Executive Plan

MacDermid adopted a non-qualified key executive stock option plan, approved by shareholders in July 2001 (the “2001 Executive Plan”).  The 2001 Executive Plan, as amended by MacDermid’s shareholders in 2004, provides for the issuance of up to 5,000,000 shares.  Options granted under the 2001 Executive Plan generally are exercisable during a six-year period beginning at the vesting date, which is four years after the grant date.  The options are exercisable into unrestricted shares of common stock, except as otherwise provided at the time of grant.  The options are also subject to an “Index Effect”, which involves two tiers of variability:

·                  The option price is variable, either up or down, based upon the market price at date of grant, adjusted for MacDermid’s stock price performance in comparison to the Standard and Poor’s Specialty Chemicals Index during the six years following the date of grant.  The options initially had exercise prices ranging from $16.75 to $38.65 per share; the exercise prices of these options as of June 30, 2006, now range from $19.72 to $38.65 per share based on Company stock price performance.

·                  The number of options exercisable is variable, either up or down, based upon a multiple either (a) determined by the cumulative percentage of owner earnings growth (defined as cash flow from operations less net capital expenditures), or (b) determined using earnings per share growth during the four year vesting period, based on targets set at the time of grant.  The multiple can range from 50% to 200% of the original shares issued.

As of June 30, 2006, there were 2,724,994 options outstanding under the 2001 Executive plan.

The 2001 Employee Plan

In 2001, the Company adopted a non-qualified all employee stock option plan, approved by shareholders in July 2001 (the “2001 Employee Plan”).  The 2001 Employee Plan provides for the issuance of up to 1,000,000 shares.  Options granted under the 2001 Employee Plan generally are exercisable during a six-year period beginning at the vesting date, which is four years after the grant date, at a fixed price equal to the market price at the date of grant.  The options are exercisable into unrestricted shares of common stock, except as otherwise provided at the time of grant.  In February 2006, MacDermid’s Board of Directors voted to cancel all remaining unissued shares in the 2001 Employee Plan.  As of June 30, 2006, there were 177,160 options outstanding under the 2001 Employee plan.

The 2006 Plan

In February 2006, the Company’s board of directors, adopted a non-qualified all employee stock option plan approved by the Company’s shareholders in May 2006 (the “2006 Plan”).  The 2006 Plan provides for the issuance of up to 1,100,000 shares.  Options granted under the 2006 Plan generally are exercisable during a four-year period beginning at the vesting date, which is six years after the grant date, at a  price equal to the average of the Company’s closing common stock price for the previous

five trading days preceding the stock option grant.  The options are exercisable into unrestricted shares of common stock, except as otherwise provided at the time of grant.  During the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, 0 and 194,857, respectively, of stock options were granted to employees, executive officers and non-employee directors of the Company at a fair market price of $30.47.  As of June 30, 2006, there are 905,144 shares available for future grant under the 2006 plan.  Total compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 related to stock options grants under the 2006 plans was $85 and $85, respectively.  Total compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 related to stock options grants under the 2006 plans was $0 and $0, respectively.

Note 7.                                  Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

In the first quarter of 2006, the Company reviewed its foreign currency conversion rates used to convert goodwill and intangible assets. Beginning in 2002, the Company held all goodwill and certain intangible assets related to the acquisition of Canning Ltd. (“Canning intangibles”) constant at historic currency conversion rates, effectively holding the value of goodwill and Canning intangibles constant at 2002 currency conversion rates.  This resulted in an understatement of goodwill and Canning intangibles as of December 31, 2005.  As a result, the Company has determined that certain restatement adjustments are necessary as described below to state these assets at the current currency conversion rates.

Upon further investigation the Company’s management determined that goodwill related to the 1998 acquisition of Canning Ltd. had been pushed-down into the books of the acquisition holding company instead of being pushed down to the books of the geographic business segments, where it is tested for impairment.  The Company should have allocated the goodwill into the books of the regional business segments benefiting from the acquisition.  The goodwill, however, was “pushed down” to, and denominated in British Pounds as opposed to being pushed-down to, and denominated in the currencies of the regions to which the goodwill benefits.

Acquired intangible assets as of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, are as follows:

In February 2006, the Company re-evaluated the value assigned to Autotype’s intangible assets and the revised valuation increased the value of the technology know-how intangible asset by $2,145.  This amount was deducted from Goodwill and charged to the intangible asset account.  In March 2006, the Company notified employees in Autotype’s Kvistgaard, Denmark facility that the plant would be relocated to Wantage, England, and added $369 to goodwill pursuant to Emerging Issues Task Force No. 95-3, Recognition of Liabilities in Connection with a Purchase Business Combination (“EITF 95-3”) related to employee severance benefits.  In March 2006, Goodwill was reduced by an adjustment of $135 to true-up severance costs related to Autotype’s Schaumberg, Illinois plant.  In June 2006, the Company recorded an additional amount of $890 to goodwill related to the closure of Autotype’s Kvistgaard, Denmark facility in accordance with EITF 95-3 related to the facility closure.  The Company also recorded in June 2006 an amount of $180 to goodwill related to closure of Autotype’s Schaumberg, Illinois plant in accordance with EITF 95-3.

Amortization expense related to amortization of intangible assets for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, was $1,433 and $2,895, respectively.  Amortization expense related to amortization of intangible assets for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, was $427 and $836, respectively.  Amortization expense for intangible assets is expected to range from $3,862 to $4,519 over the next five years.

Useful lives for amortizable patents are approximately fifteen years.  Other intangible assets have useful lives of five to fifteen years.

Included in the June 30, 2006 amounts above is the allocation of goodwill from the June 2005 Autotype acquisition, which is based on the purchase price allocation and totals $32,776 and $9,453, respectively, for the Advanced Surface Finishing and the Printing Solutions segments.   Included in the December 31, 2005 amounts above is the allocation of goodwill from the June 2005 Autotype acquisition, which is based on the purchase price allocation and totals $33,796 and $8,449, respectively, for the Advanced Surface Finishing and the Printing Solutions segments.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“SFAS 142”), stipulates that MacDermid is required to perform goodwill and other intangible asset impairment tests on at least an annual basis and more frequently in certain circumstances.  MacDermid will perform the annual impairment testing for 2006 during the fourth fiscal quarter.  Currently, MacDermid is not aware of any event that occurred since the last impairment testing date that would have caused the Company’s goodwill or intangible assets to become impaired.

Note 8.                                  Other Comprehensive Income

The restatement adjustments necessary to properly convert goodwill and intangible assets are offset with a corresponding restatement adjustment to the Accumulated Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income section of Shareholders’ Equity as described in Notes 2 and 7 above.  These restatement adjustments have no impact on earnings as reported in the Company’s financial statements dated December 31, 2005, or any of the tangible assets or liabilities.

The components of comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, are as follows:

Note 9.                                  Segment Reporting

MacDermid operates on a worldwide basis, supplying proprietary chemicals for two distinct segments, Advanced Surface Finishing and Printing Solutions.  These segments are managed separately as each segment has differences in technology and marketing strategies.  Chemicals supplied by the Advanced Surface Finishing segment are used for cleaning, activating, polishing, mechanical plating and galvanizing, electro-plating, phosphatising, stripping and coating, filtering, anti-tarnishing and rust retarding for metal and plastic surfaces associated with automotive and industrial applications. The Advanced Surface Finishing segment also supplies chemicals for etching copper and imprinting electrical patterns for various electronics applications and lubricants and cleaning agents associated with offshore oil and gas operations.  The products supplied by the Printing Solutions segment include offset printing blankets and photo-polymer plates used in packaging and newspaper printing, offset printing applications, and digital printers and related supplies.  Net sales for all of our products fall into one of these two business segments.

The results of operations for each business segment include certain corporate operating costs which are allocated based on the relative burden each segment bears on those costs.  Identifiable assets for each business segment are reconciled to total consolidated assets including unallocated corporate assets.  Unallocated corporate assets consist primarily of deferred tax

14




 

assets, deferred bond financing fees and certain other long term assets not directly associated with the support of the individual segments.  Intersegment loans and accounts receivable are included in the calculation of identifiable assets and are eliminated separately.

The estimated net periodic benefit cost for other postretirement benefits was $126 and $252, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006.  The estimated net periodic benefit cost for other postretirement benefits was $160 and $320, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005.

MacDermid previously disclosed in its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005, that the Company expects to contribute $9,000 to MacDermid’s pension plans in 2006.  During the first quarter of 2006, the Company increased the 2006 expected contribution amount to $12,000.  As of June 30, 2006, $5,896 of contributions have been made.  The current portion of pension and postretirement benefit plans is included in other current liabilities in the Company’s balance sheet at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005.

In May 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. 106-2 (“FSP 106-2”), “Accounting and Disclosure Requirements Related to the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003” (the “Medicare Act”). The Medicare Act provides for certain federal subsidies on drug benefits in retiree health plans. In the third quarter of fiscal 2004, MacDermid adopted FSP 106-2, and, at that time, the Company was unable to assess the impact to our financial statements from the adoption because the legislation related to the exact calculation of a Federal subsidy for qualifying plans had not been finalized.  On January 21, 2005, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services released final regulations on the requirements and operational mechanics for employers filing to receive the 28% federal subsidy. The impact of the finalized regulations was insignificant to the Company’s post-retirement medical plan obligations and expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005.

Note 12.                            Contingencies, Environmental and Legal Matters

Environmental Issues:

MacDermid is a manufacturer and distributor of specialty chemical products, and is therefore exposed to the risk of liability or claims with respect to environmental cleanup or other matters, including those in connection with the disposal of hazardous materials.  The Company is subject to extensive domestic and foreign laws and regulations relating to environmental protection and worker health and safety, including those governing discharges of pollutants into the air and water, the management and disposal of hazardous substances and wastes, and the cleanup of contaminated properties.  The Company has

16




 

incurred, and will continue to incur, significant costs and capital expenditures in complying with these laws and regulations. Significant additional costs could be incurred, including cleanup costs, fines, sanctions, and third-party claims, as a result of violations of or liabilities under environmental laws.  To ensure compliance with applicable environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, the Company maintains a disciplined environmental and occupational safety and health compliance program, which includes conducting regular internal and external audits at Company plants to identify and categorize potential environmental exposure.

Asset Retirement Obligations:

Asset retirement obligations are based principally on legal and regulatory requirements. At June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 the Company has accrued $1,476 and $1,404, respectively, for its asset retirement obligation for properties where the Company can make a reasonable estimate of the future cost.  On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and assumptions; however, actual amounts could differ from those based on such estimates and assumptions. Changes in the estimate during three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, were not significant.

Environmental Remediation:

As of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, $2,715 and $2,715, respectively, was reserved for various environmental matters. Ultimate costs may vary from current estimates and reserves, and the discovery of additional contaminants at these or other sites, or the imposition of additional cleanup obligations, or third-party claims relating thereto, could result in significant additional costs.

The following summary provides some details regarding the Company’s environmental liabilities:

·                  MacDermid is named as a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) at two Superfund sites (Fike-Artel in Nitro, West Virginia, and Solvents Recovery in Southington, Connecticut), in which many other PRPs are also involved.  With respect to both of these sites, the Company has entered into cost sharing agreements that result in costs of less than $10 per year for funding MacDermid’s share of the ongoing cleanup costs at each site. No reserve has been established, given the deminimus nature of the costs. The Company’s cost sharing percentage at each site is 0.2%.  On October 31, 2005, the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) notified the Company of alleged deminimus responsibility for certain contamination at the Mercury Refining Site in New York.  MacDermid entered into a settlement agreement with the EPA to resolve this deminimus liability for a payment of $1.

·                  Some of the Company’s facilities have an extended history of chemical and industrial activity. The Company is directly involved in the remediation of sites that have environmental contamination arising from its operations. These sites include certain sites such as the Kearny, New Jersey and Waukegan, Illinois sites, which were acquired in the December 1998 acquisition of W. Canning plc.  With respect to the Kearny, New Jersey site, the Canning subsidiary withheld, under the Acquisition Agreement, a deferred purchase price payment of approximately $1,600. Clean-up costs at these sites are estimated to be between $2,000 and $5,000. The owners of the Kearny, New Jersey site have primary responsibility for clean-up costs that exceed the deferred purchase price.  Investigations into the extent of contamination at these sites are, however, ongoing.

·                  MacDermid is in the process of characterizing contamination at the Huntingdon Avenue, Waterbury, Connecticut site, which was closed in the quarter ended September 30, 2003.  The extent of required remediation activities at the Huntingdon Avenue site has not yet been determined; however, the Company does not anticipate that it will be materially affected by the environmental remediation costs.

Legal Proceedings:

From time to time there are various legal proceedings pending against the Company.  MacDermid considers all such proceedings to be ordinary litigation incident to the nature of our business.  Certain claims are covered by liability insurance.  MacDermid 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.  To the extent reasonably estimable, reserves have been established regarding pending legal proceedings.

Note 13.                            Restructuring Activities

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, MacDermid recognized restructuring charges in the amount of $622 and $2,107, respectively, related to employee severance and other charges.  There were no restructuring charges recorded in the three and six months ended June 30, 2005.

During the first quarter 2006, MacDermid’s implemented restructuring plans related to the operations of the US MPS business unit.  In the first quarter of 2006, MacDermid recorded restructuring charges of $601 against earnings which consists entirely of employee severance costs related to the reduction of thirteen management, sales and administrative position reductions in the US MPS business unit.  Of the initial restructuring amount of $601, the Company paid $349 as of June 30, 2006, and expects to pay the remainder in the second half of 2006.

During the first quarter ended March 31, 2006, the Company continued its efforts to maximize synergies related to the Autotype acquisition by announcing the relocation of the Autotype’s Kvistgaard, Denmark facility to an existing facility in Wantage, England.  The closure of the Autotype Denmark facility impacts twenty one employees in manufacturing, administrative, and managerial roles.  Total severance benefits of $369 were charged to goodwill during the first quarter 2006 under Emerging Issues Task Force No. 95-3, Recognition of Liabilities in Connection with a Purchase Business Combination (“EITF 95-3”).  An additional $583 in costs related to the Autotype acquisition not qualifying for purchase accounting treatment was charged to the income statement during the first quarter of 2006.  During the second quarter of 2006, the Company completed the relocation of Autotype’s Kvistgaard, Denmark facility.  The plant in Kvistgaard, Denmark was closed and production was transferred to Autotype’s existing facility in Wantage, England.  During the three months ended June 30, 2006, $890 was charged to goodwill, in accordance with EITF 95-3, in connection with the closure of Autotype’s Denmark facility, these costs included lease restoration costs, severance payments and asset write-offs.  During the three months ended June 30, 2006 $401 charged to restructuring expense for stay bonus payments and moving costs for manufacturing equipment relocated to Autotype’s Wantage, England facility.

During the second quarter of 2006, the Company completed the relocation of Autotype’s Schaumburg, Illinois facility to the Company’s existing facility in Middletown, Delaware.  In connection with this relocation $180 of lease restoration costs were charged to goodwill in the second quarter of 2006 in accordance with EITF 95-3.

During the first quarter of 2006 the Company proceeded with plans to merge Autotype’s Singapore plant into an existing ASF facility in Singapore.  The amalgamation of these facilities will not include employee severance, and as such most costs associated with the merger do not qualify as purchase accounting costs and were expensed.  During the first quarter of 2006, a charge of $195 was recorded to the income statement related to equipment relocation related to this consolidation initiative.  During the second quarter of 2006, a charge of $98 was recorded to the income statement related to equipment relocation related to this consolidation initiative.

The activity in the accrued restructuring balances related to all of the plans described above was as follows for the six months ended June 30, 2006, by segment:

Note 14.                            Loss on Disposal

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, MacDermid recorded a loss on disposal of $0 and $2,224, respectively, related to two separate dispositions.  The first disposal related to MacDermid Equipment (“MEI”), a small equipment manufacturing unit that supported the Company’s electronics sales.  In 2001, the Company wrote off all the inventory on MEI’s balance sheet.  Inventory was the only significant asset on MEI’s books, and the write off effectively impaired the Company’s investment in the subsidiary.  In February of this year, the Company sold the subsidiary for one dollar and recorded a loss on disposal of assets of $1,664, which reduced the Company’s first quarter 2006 tax rate.  The second

19




 

disposal related to a dormant international business unit that was disposed in the first quarter of 2006.  A loss on disposal of assets of $560 was recorded in the first quarter 2006 related to this dormant business unit.

Note 15.                            Subsequent Events

In July 2006, the Company sold an idle manufacturing plant located in Franklin Park, Illinois for $1,588 and will recognize a gain related to this sale of approximately $585 in the third quarter of 2006.

In July 2006, the Company reached an agreement with the city council of Birmingham, England to cease manufacturing operations at the facility located in Birmingham, England.  In connection with this agreement the city council of Birmingham agreed to pay the Company 3,000 British pounds immediately and another 1,000 British pounds within three years, after manufacturing operations have ceased at this location.  The Company is currently in the process of investigating environmental liabilities at this site in connection with the agreement, and does not expect to record a material gain or loss related to the closing of this manufacturing facility.

Note 16.                            Guarantor Financial Statements

MacDermid, Inc. (“Issuer”) issued 9 1/8% Senior Subordinated Notes (“Bond Offering”) effective June 20, 2001, for the face amount of $301,500, which pay interest semiannually on January 15th and July 15th and mature in 2011.  The proceeds were used to pay down existing long-term debt.  This Bond Offering is guaranteed by substantially all existing and future directly or indirectly 100% owned domestic restricted subsidiaries of MacDermid, Inc. (“Guarantors”).  The Guarantors, fully, jointly and severally, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantee the performance and payment when due of all the obligations under the Bond Offering.  MacDermid’s foreign subsidiaries (“Non-Guarantors”) are not guarantors of the indebtedness under the Bond Offering.

Under MacDermid’s Bond Offering, the Company has several covenants that relate to the Company’s fixed charge ratio (as defined in the Bond Offering agreement), asset sales, incurrence of additional indebtedness, and restricted payments. The restricted payment covenant is used to measure the amount of dividends, share repurchases, and extraordinary repayments of debt that MacDermid may undertake. The covenant provides for a basket, with respect to, the above mentioned items. The basket is created by taking the aggregate of 50% of net income (or 100% of any net loss, adjusted for non-cash charges) since June 2001 to present. When dividend payments are made, they are charged against the basket.  As of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, MacDermid had $94,529 and $81,972, respectively, available for future restricted payments.  The net assets of the Guarantors are restricted and may not be transferred to anyone other than the Issuer or another Guarantor without the consent of the Trustee of the Bond Offering, subject to specified baskets.  Thus the net assets of the Guarantors can be transferred to the Issuer or other Guarantors within the group freely, but cannot be transferred outside the group of Guarantors and the Issuer without the consent of the Trustee of the Bond Offering, subject to certain baskets.

In connection with the restatement adjustments made to goodwill, intangibles and accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income as described in Notes 2, 7 and 8 above, the Company recalculated certain ratios whose components changed as a result of these restatement adjustments.  The Company restated its goodwill balances and re-performed the net worth, restricted payment, and indebtedness covenant tests as of December 31, 2005, as calculated in accordance with Bond Offering agreement.  The restatement adjustments noted above did not trigger a default, and as such, the Company concluded that the above restatement adjustments had no impact on its Bond Offering covenant tests as of December 31, 2005.

Certain amounts in the Condensed Consolidating Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2005 were restated.  The restatement adjustments necessary to properly convert goodwill and intangible assets are offset with a corresponding restatement adjustment to the Accumulated Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income section of Shareholders’ Equity in the Condensed Consolidating Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2005. The equity method was used by MacDermid with respect to investments in subsidiaries for these financial statements.  The equity method also has been used by subsidiary guarantors with respect to investments in non-guarantor subsidiaries.  Financial statements for subsidiary guarantors are presented as a combined entity.  The financial information includes certain allocations of revenues and expenses based on management’s best estimates, which are not necessarily indicative of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows that these entities would have achieved on a stand-alone basis.  Therefore, these statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.

The following financial information sets forth our Condensed Consolidating Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005; the Condensed Consolidating Statements of Earnings for the three and six months ending June 30, 2006 and 2005; and the Condensed Consolidating Statements of Cash Flows for the six months ending June 30, 2006 and 2005:

ITEM 2:

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
(in thousand of dollars, except shares and per share data)

CONSOLIDATED OVERVIEW

Goodwill and Intangible Asset Restatement Adjustments

As discussed in Notes 2, 7 and 8 to the consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1, in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 we reviewed our foreign currency conversion rates used to convert goodwill and intangible assets. Beginning in 2002, we held all goodwill and certain intangible assets related to the acquisition of Canning Ltd. (“Canning intangibles”) constant at historic currency conversion rates, effectively holding the value of goodwill and Canning intangibles constant at 2002 currency conversion rates.  This resulted in an understatement of goodwill and Canning intangibles as of December 31, 2005.  In connection with our adoption of the provision of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, in the first quarter of 2006, we restated the December 31, 2005 balances of Goodwill, Intangibles and Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income to correct an error related to foreign currency translation.  As a result, we made certain restatement adjustments to our December 31, 2005 Consolidated Balance Sheet to state these assets at the correct currency conversion rates.  We also restated Other Comprehensive Income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 to correct an error related to foreign currency translation

We also determined that goodwill related to the 1998 acquisition of Canning Ltd. had been pushed-down into the books of the acquisition holding company instead of being pushed down to the books of the geographic business segments, where it is tested for impairment.  We should have allocated the goodwill into the books of the regional business segments benefiting from the acquisition.  The goodwill, however, was pushed-down to, and denominated in British Pounds as opposed to being pushed-down to, and denominated in the currencies of the regions that benefit from the goodwill.

The restatement adjustments necessary to properly convert goodwill and intangible assets are offset with a corresponding restatement adjustment to the Accumulated Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income section of Shareholders’ Equity in our December 31, 2005 Consolidated Balance Sheet.

These restatement adjustments have no impact on earnings as reported in our financial statements dated December 31, 2005, or any of the tangible assets and liabilities accounts stated therein.  For financial reporting purposes, we treated these restatement adjustments similar to a reclassification of the affected December 31, 2005 balances.

Executive Overview

Our consolidated business consists of two business segments, Advanced Surface Finishing (“ASF”) and Printing Solutions (“MPS”).  The ASF segment supplies chemicals used for finishing metals and non-metallic surfaces for automotive and other industrial applications, electro-plating metal surfaces, etching, and imaging to create electrical patterns on circuit boards for the electronics industry, and offshore lubricants and cleaners for the offshore oil and gas markets.  The acquisition of Autotype International Ltd and associated entities (“Autotype”) in June 2005 further augments this segment by adding production of hard coated films for the membrane switch and touch screen markets.   The MPS segment supplies an extensive line of offset printing blankets, photo-polymer plates and wide-format digital printers for use in the commercial printing and packaging industries for image transfer.  The acquisition of Autotype added high quality stencil materials and digital pre-press products for screen printing to the MPS segment.

In both of our business segments, we continue to invest significant resources in research and development and intellectual properties such as patents, trademarks, copyrights and trade secrets, as our business depends on these activities for our financial stability and future growth.

We focus on growing revenues and the generation of cash from operations in order to build shareholder value. Specifically, we plan to improve top line sales growth over the longer term by focusing on:

·                  utilizing our technical service and outstanding products to penetrate global markets for all products,

·                  supporting working capital initiatives focused on maximizing cash flows during a period of continued economic uncertainty in our primary markets,

·                  emphasizing efficiency improvements throughout the organization,

·                  adding new products through internal research and development, relying heavily on our internal knowledge base,

·                  strengthening the common identity of our products through a new branding initiative called “Yes We Can!”, and

29




 

·                  strategic acquisitions of companies, products, or technologies.

Our products are sold in a competitive, global economy, which exposes us to certain currency, economic and regulatory risks and opportunities. Approximately 56% of our net sales and identifiable assets for the six month period ended and as of June 30, 2006, are denominated in currencies other than the United States dollar.  These currencies include predominantly the Euro, British Pound, the Hong Kong Dollar, the Chinese Yuan and the Japanese Yen. We do not manage our foreign currency exposure in a manner that would eliminate the effects of changes in foreign exchange rates on our earnings, cash flows and fair values of assets and liabilities; therefore, our financial performance could be positively or negatively impacted by changes in foreign exchange rates in any given reporting period. For most currencies, we are a net receiver of the foreign currency and therefore benefit from a weaker United States Dollar and are adversely affected by a stronger United States Dollar relative to the foreign currency.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, net sales and net earnings were positively impacted as the United States Dollar weakened against both the Euro and Pound when compared to exchange rates at the beginning of the year.  When compared with the same periods last year, net sales and net earnings were negatively impacted as the United States Dollar strengthened against both the Euro and the British Pound.  In both cases, the absolute impact on earnings was immaterial.

Our competitors include many large multi-national chemical firms based in Europe, Asia, and the United States.  New competitive products or pricing policies of our competitors can materially affect demand for and pricing of our products, which could have a significant impact on our financial results.

We are influenced predominantly by two general industries:  the specialty chemical and printing industries.  In the specialty chemical industry, profit is generated by creating proprietary products and process technologies, and delivering high levels of customer service.  Currently, a number of key characteristics and trends are impacting the industry, including market fragmentation, globalization, the need for financial resources to support research and development, a renewed focus on core businesses and the increasing importance of size and scale.  The Asian market presents growth opportunities, and our electronics group continued to see growth in Asia due to favorable market conditions.  In 2005, we opened a second facility in China to support our expansion in this market.  Our growth in the electronics market in Asia was partially offset by market weakness in Europe and the Americas.  We also experienced growth in our Offshore Fluids group in 2005, which continued in 2006, due largely to a worldwide increase in offshore oil field development activities. In the printing industry, we continue to see challenging growth opportunities in an increasingly competitive environment.  The industry is marked by globalization, market fragmentation, pricing pressures, and the growing digital printing technologies.  Between 1997 and 2005, businesses calling themselves “digital printers” accounted for most of this industry’s growth.  Our business groups that supply offset printing blankets and photo-polymer plates continue to be affected by an overall soft market and changes in our distribution system, as we are increasingly selling directly to our customers in the United States.  Our digital printer group, which manufactures wide-media printers, is currently benefiting from the market acceptance of our new product offerings.

We seek to enhance our profitability by investing in technology, design capabilities and new product initiatives that respond to the needs of our customers and consumers. We will continue to seek ways to expand our business in Asia, Europe and the Americas.  We intend to selectively pursue strategic acquisitions, where appropriate, to expand or complement our existing business.  We expect that any such acquisitions will be consistent with our core businesses, and will strengthen our relationships with our customers, enhance our existing products, processes and technological capabilities or lower our costs.  Our ability to increase sales in the future will depend, in part, on our success in penetrating Asian markets and leveraging our existing customer base across all product lines in Europe and in the Americas.  We continually evaluate alternatives to lower the operating costs of our company.  This includes the realignment of our existing manufacturing capacity, facility closures or similar actions.

In June 2005, we acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Autotype from Norcros (Holdings) Limited of the UK.  The acquisition broadened our product offerings in both of our operating segments.  Net assets acquired, including goodwill and intangibles, totaled $92,432.  The net assets and results of operations are included in our financial statements since the acquisition date.  For more information regarding this acquisition, see Note 17 in our 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K, Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

During the second quarter ended June 30, 2006, we completed our integration of the Autotype units by closing three Autotype plants and relocating production to existing facilities in order to maximize synergies from the acquisition. Production in Autotype’s Kvistgaard, Denmark facility was transferred to an existing facility in Wantage, England.  The closure of the Autotype Denmark facility impacts twenty one employees in manufacturing, administrative, and managerial roles.  See Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 for further information related to the closure of the Denmark facility.

30




 

During the second half of 2005 and first half of 2006, as part of our effort to lower the operating costs of our company, we began to implement certain consolidation actions.  These actions are intended to better align our manufacturing capacity with the changing needs of our customers, eliminate excess capacity, lower our operating costs, and streamline our organizational structure for improved long-term profitability. The restructuring actions consist primarily of facility consolidations and closures, including the movement of certain manufacturing operations, and employee terminations. In connection with the restructuring actions, we incurred charges of $622 and $2,107, respectively during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006.  For more information regarding our consolidation actions, see Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 and Note 18 in our 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K, Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, our consolidated results reflected top line sales growth of $28,976 and $59,087, respectively, as compared to the same periods last year.  Our acquisition of Autotype contributed $24,151 and $4,942 in sales for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 respectively, and $48,777 and $4,942 in sales to the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 respectively.  Sales in our existing business units increased $9,767 and $15,252 respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, or 5.6% and 4.4%, respectively, when compared to same periods last year.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, sales in our existing ASF segment increased a total of $9,278 and $14,962, respectively, or 9.2% and 7.5%, respectively, when compared to the same periods last year on strong sales in both the Americas and Asia as industrial production recovers in the United States and continues to grow in Asia.  Sales in ASF Europe were flat when compared with the same three month ended June 30, 2005, but down ($3,070) for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared with the same six month period last year, primarily due to softer sales in our Offshore fluids unit, which experienced higher-than-usual sales volumes during the first six months of 2005.  ASF Europe continues to see declines in the electronics product lines as production continues its migration to Asia.  Sales in our existing MPS units were up slightly for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 when compared to the same periods last year, with sales increases in the Colorspan business unit being offset by declines in the publishing plates and packaging units.

From a cash flow standpoint, our liquidity position remained sufficient during the six months ended June 30, 2006, with working capital of $259,629 at June 30, 2006.  Cash increased $18,109 during the six months ended June 30, 2006, primarily due cash provided by operating activities of $20,936, effect of exchange rate changes on cash of $2,251, offset by cash used in investing activities of $4,810.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

We intend the discussion of our financial condition and results of operations that follows to provide information that will assist you in understanding our Consolidated Financial Statements, the changes in certain key items in those financial statements from quarter to quarter, and the primary factors that accounted for those changes, as well as how certain accounting principles, policies and estimates affect our Consolidated Financial Statements.  The discussion of results of operations includes both consolidated and segment-level information.

Three months ended June 30, 2006 compared to three months ended June 30, 2005

Net sales

During the three months ended June 30, 2006, our consolidated net sales grew by $28,976, or 16.3%, compared to the same period in 2005.  The June 2005 acquisition of Autotype contributed $19,209 to this increase and benefited both the ASF and MPS segments.  On a currency-adjusted basis, net sales grew by 16.5%.  Our ASF segment benefited from volume growth in both our electronics and offshore fluids groups.  Our electronics group continued to see growth all through Asia due to favorable market conditions, and the industrial product lines continue to experience gains in Asia and in the Americas.  Europe however, remains flat with slight increases in industrial products being offset by decreases in electronics which continue to migrate to Asia.  Our offshore fluids group continues to benefit from increasing sales in South America.  Our MPS segment benefited from growth in our digital printer group due to market acceptance of new product offerings.   Partially offsetting this increase in our MPS business was a reduction in overall sales volume in groups that supply the commercial, packaging and publication printing industries due to continued soft markets.

Cost of sales and gross profit

Cost of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2006, increased $17,627 or 17.9% when compared to the same period last year.  On a currency-adjusted basis, cost of sales increased 18.2%.  Of the increase, Autotype contributed approximately 71% of the total increase in cost of sales in the second quarter of 2006.  Cost of sales in our existing business units increased $5,120, or 5.4%, which is primarily attributable to higher sales volumes.  Cost of sales on a percent-of-sales basis increased less than 1% compared to the same quarter last year.  Gross profit percentages decreased to 44.1% from 44.9% compared to the same period last year primarily due to higher conversion costs associated with the Autotype’s product line that yield lower gross margins as compared to existing product lines.

32




 

Operating expenses

Operating expenses increased $6,929 or 12.3% in the three months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005, and 12.2% on a currency-adjusted basis.  The increase is attributable primarily to the inclusion of Autotype’s operating expenses for the full three months ended June 30, 2006, whereas in the same period in 2005 we only incurred two weeks of operating expenses related to Autotype.  We also recorded $622 in restructuring charges in the second quarter of 2006.  Operating expenses increased $1,004, during the second quarter of 2006 in our existing units compared to the same period last year primarily due to increased research and development costs in the second quarter of 2006.

Operating profit

Operating profit for the three months ended June 30, 2006 was $28,030, an increase of $4,420, or 18.7% compared the same period last year.  On a currency-adjusted basis, operating profit increased 19.1%.  For the three months ended June 30, 2006 our ASF segment had increased operating profits $2,004, or 12.0% compared to the same period last year due primarily to higher profits in our ASF Asia business unit.  For the three months ended June 30, 2006 our MPS segment had increased operating profits of $2,416, or 35.0% due primarily to a legal settlement of approximately $2,500 recorded in the three months ended June 30, 2005.

Interest income (expense)

Net interest expense decrease by $427, or 6.1% in the three months ended June 30, 2006 compared with the same period last year.  This decrease is primarily due to $199 of interest swap expense recorded in the second quarter of 2005 and higher amortization expense of deferred financing fees in the second quarter of 2005.  There was no interest swap expense in the second quarter of 2006.

Other, net

For the three months ended June 30, 2006, other net expenses decreased $608 or 97.7%.  The decrease is due to higher foreign exchange losses incurred in the second quarter of 2005 that did not recur in the second quarter of 2006.

Income tax expense

Our effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2006, was 27.4%, up from 25.2% in the same period last year due to lower expected repatriations of cash from foreign tax jurisdictions for the second quarter of 2005 compared to the second quarter of 2006.

Net earnings

Net earnings for the three months ended June 30, 2006 increased $3,607 or 30.2% compared to the same period in 2005.  On a currency-adjusted basis, net income increased 30.5% compared to the same quarter last year.  As discussed above, there are several factors that both positively and negatively impacted our net earnings for the second quarter of 2006.

Six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to six months ended June 30, 2005

Net sales

For the six months ended June 30, 2006 net sales increased $59,087, or 17.0%, compared to the same period in 2005.  On a currency-adjusted basis, net sales grew by 18.8%. The June 2005 acquisition of Autotype accounted for $43,835 of the increase to sales, which benefited both the ASF and MPS segments.  Sales in our existing ASF segment increased by $14,962 during the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same period last year.  Sales in our existing MPS segment increased by $290 during the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same period last year

Our ASF segment benefited from volume growth in the industrial, electronics and offshore fluid product groups.  Electronics and industrial products experienced modest sales in the US and robust sales in Asia, while sales in Europe lagged behind the first six months of the same period in 2005.  Sales in the offshore fluids group remains ahead of last year on increased sales to South America.  Sales in our MPS segment were up slightly through the first six months compared with last year as increased sales in the digital printer group were offset by a reduction in overall sales volume in groups that supply the commercial, packaging and publication printing industries due to continued soft markets.

33




 

Cost of sales and gross profit

Cost of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2006, increased $36,920 or 19.3% when compared to the same period last year.  On a currency-adjusted basis, cost of sales increased by 17.5%.  Autotype contributed approximately 77% of the increase in cost of sales for the first six months of 2006.  Cost of sales in our existing business units increased $8,534, or 4.5%, but remained flat on a percent-of-sales basis at 54.7%.  Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was 44.1% compared with 45.2% for the same period last year.  This is primarily attributable to Autotype, whose conversion costs run slightly higher than our traditional product lines.

Operating expenses

For the six months ended June 30, 2006, operating expenses increased $17,758 or 16.2% during the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to the same period in 2005, or 16.4% on a currency-adjusted basis.  The increase is attributable primarily to the inclusion of Autotype’s operating expenses for the full six months ended June 30, 2006, whereas in the same period in 2005 we only incurred two weeks of operating expenses related to Autotype.   During the six months ended June 30, 2006, we recorded $2,107 of restructuring expenses and $2,224 for loss on disposal of assets.  There were no similar charges in the same period of 2005.  Operating expenses in our existing units increased by $1,508, or 1.4%, primarily due to a charge of $1,913 recorded in the first quarter of 2006 related to an unsuccessful acquisition, offset by other miscellaneous reductions in operating expenses during the first half of 2006.

During the first quarter of 2006, we recognized a loss on disposal of assets of $2,224 related to the disposal of two dormant business units.  The first disposal related to MacDermid Equipment (“MEI”), a small equipment manufacturing unit that supported our electronics sales.  In 2001, we wrote off all the inventory on MEI’s balance sheet.  Inventory was the only significant asset on MEI’s books, and the write off effectively impaired our investment in the subsidiary.  In February of this year, we sold the subsidiary for one dollar and recorded a loss on disposal of assets of $1,664 which reduced our first quarter 2006 tax rate.  By selling the subsidiary for one dollar, we saved costs that would have been associated with shutting the business, including severance, asset disposal, and site clean up costs.  The second disposal related to a dormant international business unit that was disposed in the first quarter of 2006.  A loss on disposal of assets of $560 was recorded in the first quarter 2006.

Operating profit increased $4,409, or 9.2% for six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same period last year.  On a currency-adjusted basis operating profit increased 11.0%.  For the six months ended June 30, 2006 our ASF segment had increased operating profits $5,210, or 16.9% compared to the same period last year due primarily to higher profits in our ASF Asia business unit.  For the six months ended June 30, 2006 our MPS segment had decreased operating profits of $801, or 4.7% due primarily to lower operating profit in our MPS North American business unit offset by the legal settlement of approximately $2,500 recorded in the three months ended June 30, 2005.

Interest income (expense)

Interest income during the first six months of 2006 increased $242 compared to the same period last year due to higher cash balances.    Interest expense decreased $1,371 in the first six months of 2006 compared with the same period last year.  Short term borrowings were up in 2005 as we prepared for our acquisition of Autotype and we had expense of $387 related to an interest rate swap for the six months ended June 30, 2005.  There was no interest swap expense in the six months ended June 30, 2006.

Other, net

For the six months ended June 30, 2006, other, net expenses totaled $378 compared to $592 for the same period in 2005.  The decrease is primarily due to higher foreign exchange losses incurred in the second quarter of 2005 that did not recur in the second quarter of 2006.

Income tax expense

Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2006, was 27.3%, down from 29.0% in the same period in 2005.  The decrease is due to the disposal of MEI in the first quarter of 2006, which lowered our effective tax rate in the first quarter of 2006.  The tax rate is also lower because of the mix of profits from lower foreign tax rates during the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005.  Offsetting these decreases is an increase is higher expected repatriations for 2006 versus 2005 which increased our 2006 tax rate.  We expect that our effective tax rate for the year will approximate

34




 

28.5%.  Factors such as pending tax rulings in Europe, our dividend repatriation policy, and the Research and Development tax credit pending in the US Congress will influence the actual tax rate.

Net earnings

Net earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2006 increased $5,101 or 21.5% compared to the same period in 2005.  On a currency-adjusted basis net income increased 23.2%. There are several factors that both positively and negatively impacted our net earnings during the first half of 2006 as discussed above.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Overview

Our primary source of liquidity during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 was cash generated from operating activities.  We expect that our future working capital, capital expenditures and dividend requirements will be satisfied primarily from existing cash balances, cash generated from operations and available credit facilities.

The table below summarizes our cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005:

Cash flow from operating activities declined during the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to the same period in 2005 primarily as a result of higher income offset by the timing of tax payments and changes in our inventory, accounts receivable and accrued expenses.  Increases in accounts receivable and inventories are a result of our current focus on driving growth in sales.   For the six months ended June 30, 2006 we paid taxes totaling $10,569 compared to tax payments of $7,627 in the same period of 2005.

Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $91,245 for the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to the same period in 2005.  This change is due primarily the 2005 purchase of Autotype and a decrease in capital spending during the first six months of 2006 compared to the first six months of 2005.  The majority of capital spending during first six months of 2005 was related to a new plant in China for our ASF segment.

Net cash used in financing activities decreased by $8,187 for the six months ended June 30, 2006, when compared to the same period last year. This decrease was primarily the result of lower short-term borrowing during the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005, increased dividends paid during the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005 offset by higher proceeds from the exercise of stock options during the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005.

Our Board of Directors from time-to-time authorizes the purchase of issued and outstanding shares of our common stock. Such additional shares may be acquired through privately negotiated transactions or on the open market.  Any future repurchases by us will depend on various factors, including the market price of the shares, our business and financial position and general economic and market conditions.  Additional shares acquired pursuant to such authorizations will be held in our treasury and will be available for us to issue for various corporate purposes without further shareholder action (except as required by applicable law or the rules of any securities exchange on which the shares are then listed).  At June 30, 2006, the outstanding authorization to purchase approximately 5,000,000 shares would cost approximately $144,000.

We believe that we have the financial flexibility to deliver shareholder value described above while meeting our contractual obligations.  As of June 30, 2006, we currently have $99,041 in cash and cash equivalents and working capital of $259,629. Excluding our non-monetary items, prepaid expenses and deferred taxes, our working capital is $230,330.  We also have a long-term credit arrangement, which consists of a combined revolving loan facility that permits borrowings, denominated in US dollars and certain foreign currencies, of up to $75,000.  There has been no balance outstanding, or activity on this revolving loan facility for any of the periods presented.  This long-term credit facility was established in March 2006 to

35




 

replace a $50,000 long-term credit facility which was to expire in April 2006.  We have other uncommitted credit facilities which presently total approximately $50,860.  These credit facilities expire and may be renewed on a yearly basis.

We have a 9 1/8% Senior Subordinated Notes (“Bond Offering” or “Bonds”), due 2011, for the face amount of $301,500.  Interest on the Bonds is due semi-annually on January 15th and July 15th.  Pursuant to the Bond Offering, we are subject to covenants requiring certain qualitative and quantitative thresholds, including a requirement to maintain a defined fixed charge ratio greater than or equal to 2.25 to 1.0.  The incurrence of additional debt (excluding the Bonds) is also limited, as are certain defined restricted payments.  We were in compliance with all of these covenants as of June 30, 2006.  If these covenants are violated, and we are unable to negotiate a waiver or amendment thereof, the Bonds may be called for payment.

The revolving credit facility above includes the following financial covenants:

·                  a ratio of bank-defined earnings before income taxes (“EBIT”) to interest expense greater than 2.75 to 1.0 through December 31, 2006, and 3.0 to 1.0 for any fiscal quarter ending on or after March 31, 2007.

·                  a ratio of bank-defined total outstanding debt to earnings before tax, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) to be less than 3.5 to 1.0 through December 31, 2006, and 3.25 to 1.0 for any fiscal quarter ending on or after March 31, 2007.

·                  A ratio of bank-defined total outstanding senior debt to earnings before tax, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) to be greater than 2.0 to 1.0.

We were in compliance with all of these covenants as of June 30, 2006.  If these covenants are violated, and we are unable to negotiate a waiver or amendment thereof, the lender would have the right to declare an event of default, terminate the remaining commitment and accelerate all principal and interest outstanding.  There has been no balance outstanding or activity on this committed revolving loan facility for any of the periods presented.

Our liquidity position remained sufficient as of June 30, 2006.  Future pension funding expenditures are discretionary subject to minimum fundings as required by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, asset performance of the various plans, changes in pension plan asset allocation and other factors.   Our ability to obtain additional financing, if necessary, will depend upon a number of factors, including our future performance and financial results, and capital market conditions. We cannot assure you that we will be able to raise additional capital on reasonable terms or at all.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

In preparing the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management must undertake decisions that impact the reported amounts and related disclosures.  Such decisions include the selection of the appropriate accounting principles to be applied and also assumptions upon which accounting estimates are based.  Management applies judgment based on its understanding and analysis of the relevant circumstances to reach these decisions.  By their nature, these judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty.  Accordingly actual results could differ significantly from the estimates applied.

36




 

Our critical accounting policies are consistent with those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report and other of our reports include forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements relate to analyses and other information that is based on forecasts of future results and estimates of amounts not yet determinable. These statements also relate to future prospects, developments and business strategies. The statements contained in this report that are not statements of historical fact may include forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties.

The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,” “will” and similar terms and phrases, including references to assumptions, have been used to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are made based on management’s expectations and beliefs concerning future events affecting us and are subject to uncertainties and factors relating to our operations and business environment, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those matters expressed in or implied by these forward-looking statements. The following factors are among those that may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements:  our ability to perform strategic acquisitions and dispositions, our ability to integrate our acquisitions into our operations, environmental liabilities, changes in general economic, business and industry conditions, changes in current advertising, promotional and pricing levels, changes in political and social conditions and local regulations, foreign currency fluctuations, trends in the specialty chemical and printing industries, inflation, significant litigation; changes in sales mix, competition, disruptions of established supply channels, degree of acceptance of new products, difficulty of forecasting sales at various times in various markets, the availability, terms and deployment of capital, and the other factors discussed elsewhere in this report and in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, our other Securities and Exchange Commission filings and our press releases.

All forward-looking statements should be considered in light of these factors. We undertake no obligation to update forward-looking statements or risk factors to reflect new information, future events or otherwise.

ITEM 3:

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures
About Market Risk

We are exposed to market risk in the normal course of business activity due to our operations in different foreign currencies and our 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.  We have established policies and procedures governing our management of market risks and the use of financial instruments to manage exposure to such risks.  Management continually reviews the balance between foreign-currency-denominated assets and liabilities in order to minimize our exposure to foreign exchange fluctuations; however we do not currently actively hedge any of our foreign currency risk.

We operate manufacturing facilities in ten countries and sell products in over twenty-five countries.  Approximately 56% of our net sales and total assets are denominated in currencies other than the United States Dollar, predominantly the Euro, the British Pound, the Japanese Yen, the Chinese Yuan and the Hong Kong Dollar.  For the three and six months ending June 30, 2006 foreign currency translation had a slight negative effect on net income.  The impact of exchange rate changes on operating cash flows historically has been comparable to the impact on earnings.

Our business operations consist principally of manufacture and sale of specialty chemicals, supplies and related equipment to customers throughout much of the world.  Approximately 41% of our business is concentrated in the printing business, used for a wide variety of applications, while 59% of our business is concentrated on customers supplying a wide variety of chemicals to manufacturers of automotive, other industrial, electronics and offshore applications.   As is usual for these businesses, we generally do not require collateral or other security as a condition of sale, rather relying on credit approval, balance limitation and monitoring procedures to control credit risk of trade account financial instruments.  Management believes that reserves for losses, which are established based upon review of account balances and historical experience, are adequate.

In the past, we were exposed to interest rate risk, primarily from our floating interest rate credit facilities.  At the time, we entered into interest rate swap agreements for the purpose of reducing our exposure to possible future changes in interest rates on these facilities.  On September 20, 2001, we refinanced these facilities with 9 1/8% Senior Subordinated Notes, which

37




 

reduced our exposure to changing interest rates and is currently unhedged.    For additional information, see Note 16 above, Guarantor Financial Statements. Based upon our current debt structure and expected levels of borrowing for the remainder of 2006, an increase in interest rates would not result in an incremental interest expense.

We do not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading purposes but have certain other supply agreements for raw material inventories and have chosen not to enter into any price hedging with our suppliers for commodities.

ITEM 4:

Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (“Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the  time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

We carried out an evaluation as of the last day of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Senior Vice President, Finance, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)).  Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Senior Vice President, Finance, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (a) are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is timely recorded, processed, summarized and reported and (b) included, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Senior Vice President, Finance, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

While preparing our March 31, 2006 Form 10-Q we identified an error and a material weaknesses in our internal control over accounting for foreign currency translation in our consolidation reporting process and the preparation of the Statement of Comprehensive Income translation in our consolidation reporting process and the preparation of the Statement of Comprehensive Income described below.  The material weakness related to our accounting for foreign currency translation and consequently to the preparation of the Statement of Comprehensive Income, and did not extend to our entire system of internal control over financial reporting.  The error noted was first recognized in April 2006, while management and our new independent auditor were reviewing our financial statements in preparation of our March 31, 2006 Form 10-Q and is further explained below.

A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that result in a more than remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.  During preparation of our March 31, 2006 Form 10-Q management and our new independent auditors reviewed our historical goodwill and intangible balances.  Upon further review it was determined that our historical foreign goodwill and intangibles balances were not correctly translated into United States Dollars after we had adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combination  (“SFAS 141”) on April 1, 2001.  SFAS 141 required us to allocate goodwill and intangibles to our business units that benefited the most from assets acquired in a business combination.  Beginning in 2002, we held all goodwill and certain intangible assets related to the acquisition of Canning Ltd. (“Canning intangibles”) constant at historic currency conversion rates, effectively holding the value of goodwill and Canning intangibles constant at 2002 currency conversion rates consistent.  This resulted in an understatement of goodwill and Canning intangibles as of December 31, 2005 and an understatement in Other Comprehensive Income for the year ended December 31, 2005.

An error was identified related to our accounting for foreign currency translation in our consolidation process and consequently to the preparation of the Statement of Comprehensive Income.  Goodwill and intangible assets denominated in foreign currencies were not translated into United States Dollars at the current period translation rates as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 52 Foreign Currency Translation. The error in our accounting for foreign currency translation was corrected by restating our December 31, 2005 balances that were affected by this error.  Our management is in the process of remediating this material weakness through the design and implementation of enhanced controls to aid in the correct preparation, review, presentation and disclosures of the foreign currency translations included in our consolidated balance sheet and preparation of the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Management will monitor, evaluate and test the operating effectiveness of these controls.

38




 

In light of the error described above, as of the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we have adopted remedial measures to address the deficiency in our internal control that gave rise to the understatement of goodwill and intangibles balances as of December 31, 2005 and the understatement of Other Comprehensive Income for the year ended December 31, 2005.  In addition, we have applied compensating procedures and processes as necessary to ensure the accuracy of our financial reporting.  Such additional procedures included a comprehensive review of our foreign goodwill and intangible balances and Other Comprehensive Income, a risk assessment of our critical accounting policies and procedures. Accordingly, management believes that the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q presents fairly, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as of, and for, the periods presented.  We have hired an outside professional service firm to perform a review of our critical accounting policies and procedures during the third quarter of 2006.

Other than indicated above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2006, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Senior Vice President, Finance, does not expect that our disclosure controls will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with associated policies or procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
