Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Participants and Administrator of the
Genencor International, Inc.
Employee Retirement Investment Plan

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits, present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Genencor International, Inc. Employee Retirement Investment Plan (the “Plan”) at December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2003, 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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, 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 purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedule 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.

December 31, 2003

1.   Plan Description

The following description of the Genencor International, Inc. Employee Retirement Investment Plan (the Plan) is provided for general information purposes only. Participants should refer to the Plan document for more complete information.
 
    The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering all eligible employees of Genencor International, Inc. (the Company) and is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). The Plan was established effective February 1, 1990. A Retirement Committee, consisting of members of the Company’s management, acts as Plan Administrator.
 
    Participant Contributions
 
    Substantially all full-time non-union employees of the Company in the United States are eligible to participate in the Plan. As a result of the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act enacted by the United States Congress during 2002, the Plan allows participants to contribute up to 50% of their pre-tax earnings to the Plan. Employee contributions are allocated at the discretion of the participant among thirteen investment options.
 
    Employer Contributions
 
    The Company matches participant contributions in the following manner: 100% of the employee’s annual cumulative contributions for the first 2% contributed; and 50% of the participant’s annual cumulative contributions for the next 2% contributed. The matching contributions are allocated to participant accounts following the end of the pay period to which the matching contributions apply.
 
    In addition, the Plan requires the Company to contribute, on an annual basis, 3% of each eligible employee’s annual compensation, whether the participant is otherwise contributing or noncontributing. Employer contributions are allocated at the discretion of the participant among thirteen investment options.
 
    Vesting
 
    Participants are immediately 100% vested in their voluntary contributions and the Company’s matching contributions. Participants become vested in the Company’s annual 3% defined contribution based on the following schedule:
         
Service
  Percent Vested
Less than one year
    0 %
More than one year and less than two years
    50 %
More than two years
    100 %

1.   Plan Description – continued
 
    Participant Loans
 
    A participant can obtain a loan from the Plan for the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their vested account balance, which amounts shall be reduced by any previously outstanding loans. Interest rates on loans are set at 150 basis points above the prime rate on the first day of the month in which the loan is originated. Loans are to be repaid over a period not to exceed five years with the exception of loans being used to purchase a principal residence, which may not exceed fifteen years. On December 31, 2003, loans outstanding have interest rates ranging from 5.5% - 11.0% with maturity dates ranging from January 31, 2004 through November 10, 2018.
 
    Participant Accounts
 
    Each participant’s account is adjusted by (a) the participant’s contributions; (b) the Company’s contributions; (c) the participant’s loan principal, interest and origination fees; and (d) a pro-rata allocation of the respective fund’s investment activity. The total benefit to which a participant is entitled is equal to the vested balance in the participant’s account.
 
    Benefit Payments
 
    Participants (or their beneficiaries) are eligible to receive vested benefits upon retirement, death, or when they cease to be an employee of the Company. Participants can also withdraw all or any portion of their contributions in the event of undue financial hardship. Normal retirement age is 65. Participants are entitled to 100% of their account balance at retirement. Participants may elect to receive their benefits in the form of a single lump-sum payment or in annual installments.
 
    Forfeitures
 
    Forfeited, non-vested amounts will be used, first, to pay Plan expenses and then to reduce employer contributions to the Plan. After these offsets, any remaining forfeited, non-vested amounts will be allocated to participant accounts as employer contributions in addition to employer matching and 3% contributions described above. During the year ended December 31, 2003, there were $20,000 in forfeitures.
 
    Trustee
 
    T. Rowe Price Trust Company (T. Rowe Price) (the Trustee) is trustee for the Plan. T. Rowe Price holds all plan assets and distributes them among the various investment options elected by the participants. T. Rowe Price also makes disbursements from the trust for benefit payments upon receiving proper authorization and benefit information from the Plan Administrator.

1.   Plan Description — continued
 
    Plan Termination
 
    Termination of the Plan may be effected by a written instrument adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company (the Board). At such time, the accounts of all participants shall immediately be fully vested and nonforfeitable. The Board shall select, and direct the Retirement Committee to follow, one of the following alternatives: (a) The Board may keep the Plan in existence, making distributions to participants and beneficiaries as they become entitled thereto, then liquidate the Plan; (b) The Board may direct the Trustee to distribute amounts in the accounts of all participants, then liquidate the Plan after all benefits have been paid out; or (c) The Board may transfer all assets and liabilities of the Plan to another continuing employee benefit trust as described in Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code).
 
    Plan Amendments
 
    The Board has the right to amend the Plan in any and all respects at any time. There were no significant Plan amendments during the year ended December 31, 2003.
 
2.   Significant Accounting Policies
 
    Basis of Accounting
 
    The financial statements of the Plan have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. Benefits are recorded when paid. Shares of mutual funds are valued at the Net Asset Value of shares held by the Plan at year end. Investments are valued at fair value based on market quotations. Participant loans receivable are valued at original loan principal less principal repayments.
 
    Administrative Expenses
 
    The Company paid substantially all administrative expenses of the Plan in 2003.
 
    Use of Estimates
 
    The preparation of the Plan’s financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Plan Administrator to make significant estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of net assets available for benefits at the date of the financial statements and the changes in net assets available for benefits during the reporting period and, when applicable, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2.   Significant Accounting Policies — Continued
 
    Risks and Uncertainties
 
    The Plan provides for various investment options. Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market, and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participant’s account balances and the amounts reported in the Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits.
 
    Net Appreciation in Fair Value of Investments
 
    The Plan presents in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits the net appreciation in the fair value of its investments, which consists of the realized gains and losses and the unrealized appreciation/depreciation on those investments.

7.   Subsequent Events
 
    On January 1, 2004 the T. Rowe Price Mid-Cap Value Fund and the T. Rowe Price New Horizon Fund were added as investment options to the Plan. As of July 1, 2004 the T. Rowe Price Blue Chip Growth Fund will be replaced by the T. Rowe Price Growth Stock Fund. Also as of July 1, 2004 the T.
