DUCROS GROUP NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 1999 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PRACTICES The consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with the rules and regulations in force in France. From January, 1st 1999, the group is no longer allowed to apply the International Accounting Standards Committee (IASC) accounting principles. Indeed, the revised IAS 1, applicable this year, requires the use of the wholeness of the IASC standards. The French law on the consolidated accounts does not allow the groups to present their financial statements only under the IASC GAAPs, as long as the article 6 of the law nDEG.98-261 of April, 6 1999, is not enter in force. This article gives the possibility to some groups to apply IAS GAAPs, instead of the French accounting rules. However, the accounting principles applied to prepare the financial statements are consistent with those applied in the previous financial statements. a) PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION The consolidation has been done from the financial accounts as of December, 31. All the significant investments in which Ducros has an exclusive control, directly or undirectly, are fully consolidated. The companies in which there is a joint control are consolidated according to the proportional integration method. The companies in which Ducros has a significant influence and holds, directly or indirectly, more than 20% of the shareholders' equity, are consolidated using the equity method. Certain investments although corresponding to the above criteria are not consolidated, as they are not significant. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. b) FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION The transactions made in foreign currencies are converted at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. The payable and receivable in foreign currency are converted at the year-end exchange rate, and the exchange gains and losses are recognized in the income statement. 8
The financial accounts of foreign subsidies are converted as follows : Except the shareholders' equity, for which the historical rates are applied, the balance sheet is converted in euros on the basis of the official exchange rates at the end of the financial year. The income statement is converted using the average exchange rate of the period. The resulting exchange rate difference is recorded in the consolidated shareholders' equity. Before this, and according to their management method, the financial accounts of the foreign subsidiaries located in countries with a high inflation rate, are converted by using the year-end exchange rate - after having been restated by the effects of the inflation, or reported in the functional currency. c) INTANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS The trademarks are not amortized due to their legal protection. In case of a significant and durable downturn, it is possible to constitute a provision for depreciation. The other intangible fixed assets are amortized on a straight-line basis, according to their useful life as follows : Goodwill 20 years Patents, licenses variable duration not exceeding 20 years Start-up costs 3/5 years Software variable duration not exceeding 5 years d) RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS The research and development costs are generally expenses in the year they are incurred. e) GOODWILL The difference arising from the first consolidation of a subsidiary (excess of purchase price compared to the restated net assets acquired) is allocated, if any, to the appropriate captions of the consolidated balance sheet. The allocation of this difference to the appropriate assets and liabilities is done on a period that does not exceed the end of the first complete financial year after the acquisition. The residual part constitutes the goodwill which is amortized on a 20-year-period, except for specific cases, for which a shorter duration can be justified (note 4). In case the fair value of the assets and liabilities exceed this difference, the allocation is limited to the latest. f) TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS The tangible fixed assets are recorded at their acquisition cost (note 5). Amortization is calculated on a straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The main asset lives are : Industrial buildings 20-40 years Machinery and equipments 5-10 years Fixtures and fittings 10-20 years Furniture 10 years Cars and other vehicles 5 years 9
Concerning assets used under capital leases, the purchase cost at the date of signing of the contract is recorded in the fixed assets and amortized on a straight-line basis, following the above presented method. The corresponding debt is recorded in the liabilities. The maintenance costs are expressed in the year they are incurred, except when they contribute to improve the productivity or extend the useful life of the asset. g) NON CONSOLIDATED INVESTMENTS These investments are stated at their acquisition cost ; less, if any, provisions for depreciation. These depreciations take into account the share of net equity and the potential future profitability, if any. h) INVENTORIES AND WORK IN PROGRESS Inventories and work in progress are valued at their production cost, without exceeding the net realisable value. The production costs correspond essentially to the weighted average costs. i) GRANT They are recorded in the liabilities and are writen-back in the income statement at the same rate than the amortization of the tangible fixed assets to which they are linked. j) RETIREMENT COMMITMENTS AND RELATED ITEMS The group records the amount of its retirement commitments, departure indemnities and other related items (for the working employees as well as for the retired employees). k) TAXES The amount of tax effectively due at the end of the financial year is corrected by the deferred tax, which is calculated at the enacted tax rate on all temporary differences between the accounting values and the tax values, as well as on the consolidation entries. The deferred tax asset - as well as the deferred tax related to the carried forward losses - calculated for each tax entity, are recorded if the probability to recover them has been established. Taxes from dividends distribution which will be paid in the following year are accrued. No provision related to the distributable retained earnings of the subsidiaries is set up, as they are considered to be held permanently. l) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS In order to manage their exchange risk, the companies of the Ducros group use various financial instruments. The group policy is to reduce its exposure to the fluctuation of the exchange rates and not to speculate. The positions are negotiated on the markets over the counter, with first class bank counterparts, or with companies of the Eridania Beghin-Say group. The results made on the hedging instruments are booked according to the results arised on the hedged items. 10
All the transactions in progress at the year-end are mentioned as off-balance sheet commitments, without any compensation. The foreign exchange risks due to the trading activity are analysed and managed as soon as they have been identified. Strategies of firm or optional hedgings (forward purchases / sales) are implemented according to the probability of the outcome of the risk, the anticipation of the evolution of the currencies and the result of the term period (backward-forward). m) CASH FLOW Cash and equivalents includes cash and marketable securities, if any. The trade notes given to the bank at the year-end, with maturity date after the year-end, are stated under < < cash and equivalents > > caption. 2.

BUSINESS: SODIS S.A.S. INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT'S REPORT In fulfillment of the assignment decided by your general meeting, we have audited the consolidated financial statements of Sodis established in euros for the financial year-end December, 31 1999, as presented in this report. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Eridania Beghin-Say's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audit in accordance with the generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatements. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Sodis and its subsidiaries as of December, 31 1999.

SODIS GROUP NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 1999 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PRACTICES The consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with the rules and regulations in force in France. a) PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION The consolidation has been done from the financial accounts as of December, 31. All the significant investments in which Sodis has an exclusive control, directly or undirectly, are fully consolidated. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. b) FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION The transactions made in foreign currencies are converted at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. The payable and receivable in foreign currency are converted at the year-end exchange rate, and the exchange gains and losses are recognized in the income statement. c) INTANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS The intangible fixed assets are amortized on a straight-line basis, according to their useful life as follows : Goodwill 20 years Patents, licenses variable duration not exceeding 20 years Start-up costs 3/5 years Software variable duration not exceeding 5 years d) TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS The tangible fixed assets are recorded at their acquisition cost. Amortization is calculated on a straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The main asset lives are : Industrial buildings 20-40 years Machinery and equipments 5-10 years Fixtures and fittings 10-20 years Furniture 10 years Cars and other vehicles 5 years The maintenance costs are expressed in the year they are incurred, except when they contribute to improve the productivity or extend the useful life of the asset. 23
e) INVENTORIES AND WORK IN PROGRESS Inventories and work in progress are valued at their production cost, without exceeding the net realisable value. The production cost correspond essentially to the weighted average costs. f) RETIREMENT COMMITMENTS AND RELATED ITEMS The group has no commitment in terms of retirement and related items, because there is no legal or contractual obligation. g) CASH FLOW The < < cash at bank and in hand > > includes only cash. 2.

DUCROS - RECONCILIATION TO ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES GENERALLY ACCEPTED IN THE UNITED STATES The accounting principles generally accepted in France that were used in Ducros' historical financial statements differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("US GAAP"). Differences that have a material effect on Consolidated Net Income and Shareholders' Equity are described below: Accounting for retirement indemnities - Certain retirement indemnities are not accrued in the Ducros historical financial statement and are required under US GAAP. Accounting for brand intangible assets - Under the accounting principles generally accepted in France, brand intangible assets are not amortized. Under US GAAP, these assets are assumed to be amortized over 40 years. Accounting for income taxes - Accounting principles generally accepted in France record income taxes in a manner similar to US GAAP. However, certain deferred tax assets are not recognized. The following table summarizes the significant adjustments to Ducros' consolidated net income and shareholders' equity which would be required if US GAAP had been applied instead of the accounting principles generally accepted in France. Shareholders' Equity Net Income as of for the year ended (in thousands of EUR) December 31, 1999 December 31, 1999 Per accounting principles generally accepted in France 82,272 14,207 Retirement indemnity (1,336) Brand intangible assets (675) (129) Deferred income taxes 1,255 (312) ------- ------- Per US GAAP 81,516 13,766 ------- ------- SODIS - RECONCILIATION TO ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES GENERALLY ACCEPTED IN THE UNITED STATES The accounting principles generally accepted in France that were used in Sodis' historical financial statements do not differ materially from US GAAP. CONSENT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS We consent to use of our reports dated May 11, 2000, with respect to the financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in France of Ducros and Sodis included in the Current Report on Form 8-K, as amended by Form 8-K/A, of McCormick & Company, Incorporated dated November 10, 2000 and incorporated by reference in all currently effective Registration Statements of McCormick & Company, Inc. on Form S-3 and on Form S-8 (including any Post Effective Amendments thereto) filed on or before.

ITEM 7(b): PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION. The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet (balance sheet) as of May 31, 2000, and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income for the year ended November 30, 1999, and for the six months ended May 31, 2000, (statements of operations), give effect to the acquisition, by McCormick & Company, Incorporated (the Company), of the share capital of Ducros, S.A. ("Ducros") and Sodis, S.A.S. ("Sodis") (Collectively referred to as Consolidated Ducros and Sodis) from Eridania Beghin-Say, S.A. The acquisition is being accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The pro forma financial information is based on historical results of the combined entities and will not necessarily be reflective of results that will be achieved by the combined entities in the future. Some factors that will give rise to a difference between these pro forma results and actual results are: changes in the financial performance of the acquired businesses, foreign currency exchange rates (particularly the Euro), and synergy savings in the combined entity. The pro forma combined condensed balance sheet presents the financial position of the Company, Ducros, and Sodis as of May 31, 2000, assuming the acquisition occurred as of that date. The pro forma combined condensed statements of income have been prepared assuming the acquisition occurred as of the beginning of the periods presented. The acquisition actually occurred on August 31, 2000. The pro forma financial information reflects pro forma adjustments that are based upon available information and which the Company believes are reasonable. The pro forma financial information does not necessarily reflect the results of operations or financial position of the Company that actually would have resulted had the transaction, which pro forma effect is given, been consummated as of the date or for the period indicated. Additionally, the pro forma combined condensed financial statements have been prepared on the basis of preliminary estimates of the fair value of the assets acquired and may change as valuations are completed and more facts become known. This information should be read in conjunction with the previously filed Form 8-K, dated September 14, 2000, the previously filed historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of the Company, contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 1999, and in its 2000 Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and in conjunction with the historical financial statements and accompanying notes of Ducros and Sodis included elsewhere in this Form 8-K/A. 28

Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet : (e) The Company has not completed the final assessment of the fair value of Ducros and Sodis fixed assets and other identifiable assets and liabilities assumed for the purpose of allocating the purchase price. As a result, certain of the allocations are estimates and are subject to revision once the final assessments are completed. The following summarizes the preliminary estimated goodwill assuming a purchase date of May 31, 2000: Purchase price $ 378.9 Less tangible net assets acquired 72.7 Plus accrued expenses 6.1 --------- Total estimated goodwill $ 312.3 (f) To reflect the long-term debt and cash required to finance the acquisition.
