Report of Independent Accountants
To the Participants and Administrator of the
Quaker Chemical Corporation Profit Sharing and Retirement Savings Plan
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits
present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits
of the Quaker Chemical Corporation Profit Sharing and Retirement Savings Plan
(the "Plan") at December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the changes in net assets
available for benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management; our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We
conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States of America, which require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets (held
at end of year) is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a
required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information
required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and
Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This
supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan's management. The
supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in
the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly
stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements
taken as a whole.

Quaker Chemical Corporation
Profit Sharing and Retirement Savings Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF PLAN
The following description of the Quaker Chemical Corporation Profit Sharing and
Retirement Savings Plan (the "Plan") provides only general information.
Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description
of the Plan's provisions.
General
The Plan is a defined contribution plan for all employees of the Quaker Chemical
Corporation (the "Company"). Effective February 28, 2000 the Plan changed
trustees from Principal Mutual Life Insurance Company ("PML") to Vanguard
Fiduciary Trust Company ("VFTC"). The Plan is administered by the Profit Sharing
and Retirement Savings Committee appointed by the Company's Board of Directors,
and is subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA").
Contributions
Participants may elect to contribute on a "before-tax" basis any whole
percentage of their compensation, up to 15%, during the year. Each year, the
Company makes a matching contribution of $150 for each whole percentage of the
participant's compensation contributed to the Plan during the Plan year, with
the Company's matching contribution for each individual participant limited to
$450 in any calendar year. The Company's 2000 and 1999 matching contributions
were $94,771 and $100,054, respectively.
Additionally, the Company makes a contribution based on the level of domestic
company profit from operations (as defined) versus the target profit (as
defined). The target profit is determined as the average of the prior three
years' domestic company profit from operations increased by 15%. The Company's
Board of Directors, at its discretion, may increase the amount of the
contribution to the Plan for each Plan year. The Company's 2000 and 1999 profit
sharing contributions were $666,752 and $1,299,715, respectively.
Participant Accounts
Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contribution and
allocation of (a) the Company's contributions and (b) Plan earnings. Allocations
are based on participant earnings or account balances, as defined.
Participant Loans
Participants may borrow from their fund accounts an amount limited to the lesser
of $50,000 or 50% of the participant's account balance. The loans bear interest
at a rate equal to the prevailing rate of interest charged for similar loans by
lending institutions in the community plus 1%. The term of each participant loan
may not exceed five years. Interest rates at December 31, 2000 range from 8.75%
to 10.50%.

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Payment of Benefits
Upon separation of service due to death, disability or retirement, a participant
may elect to receive either a lump sum amount equal to the value of the
participant's account or substantially equal periodic installments over a period
equal to the life expectancy of the recipient or beneficiary. For termination of
service due to other reasons, a participant may receive the value of his or her
account through a lump-sum distribution.
Vesting
Participants are immediately fully vested in all Company and employee voluntary
contributions plus actual earnings thereon.
Plan Termination
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right to
terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Accounting
The Plan's financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of net assets
available for benefits at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of changes in net assets available for benefits. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
Investments Valuation and Income Recognition
Shares of registered investment companies are valued at quoted market prices,
which represent the net asset value of shares held by the Plan at year-end.
Units of the Retirement Savings Trust (a collective trust) are valued at net
asset value at year-end. The Quaker Chemical Corporation Stock Fund is valued at
the year-end unit closing prices (comprised of year-end market price plus
uninvested cash position). Participant loans are valued at cost, which
approximates fair value. Investment funds included in the pooled separate
accounts were valued at net asset value. Life insurance contracts were valued at
contract value, which approximated fair value.
Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest
income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-
dividend date. Capital gain distributions are included in dividend income.
Payment of Benefits
Benefits are recorded when paid.
Reclassification
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current
year presentation.

NOTE 3 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Plan invests in shares of mutual funds and a collective trust managed by an
affiliate of VFTC. Effective February 28, 2000, VFTC became trustee for
investments in the Plan. Transactions in such investments qualify as party-in-
interest transactions and are exempt from the prohibited transaction rules.
Prior to February 28, 2000, certain Plan assets were invested in shares of
separate accounts managed by PML. PML was a custodian and recordkeeper as
defined by the Plan and, therefore, these investments qualified as party-in-
interest and were exempt from the prohibited transaction rules.
NOTE 4 - INVESTMENTS
The Plan's investments (including gains and losses on investments bought and
sold, as well as held during the year) (depreciated) appreciated in value as
follows:
For the Year Ended December 31,
-------------------------------

------------ ----------
$(1,850,653) $ 100,339
============ ==========
NOTE 5 - PLAN EXPENSES
All administrative expenses are paid by the Company.
NOTE 6 - TAX STATUS
The Plan has received a tax determination letter from the Internal Revenue
Service dated August 18, 1995 indicating that the Plan is a qualified plan under
Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC"). The Plan has been amended
since receiving the determination letter. However, the Company believes that the
Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the
applicable requirements of the IRC.
NOTE 7 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Effective January 1, 2001, the Company approved an amendment to the Plan,
incorporating the following changes: elimination of the profit sharing
component, reserving the right of the Company's Board of Directors to make
future discretionary contributions; change in the matching contribution such
that the Company will match 50% of each participant's contribution up to 6% of
compensation; 50% of the Company match will be allocated to the Company Stock
Fund and 50% will be allocated to the investment options selected by each
participant; and upon reaching age 50, participants may reallocate balances in
the Company Stock Fund to other available investments options within the Plan.
