              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


A.  In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed
    consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, of a normal
    recurring nature, necessary to present fairly its financial position as at
    June 30, 1995 and the results of operations for the three months and six
    months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 and cash flows for the six months ended
    June 30, 1995 and 1994.  The condensed consolidated balance sheet at
    December 31, 1994 was derived from audited financial statements, but does
    not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting
    principles.  Earnings per share are calculated based on the weighted
    average common shares outstanding.

B.  Other (income) expense, net consists of the following, in thousands:

    Included in other, net for the six months ended June 30, 1995, was a $15.9
    million gain from the sale of the Company's investment in Formica 
    Corporation; this gain was offset by charges and reserves for profit        
    improvement programs and asset disposals that should enhance the Company's
    future performance.

C.  As announced during the second quarter of 1995, the Company's Board of
    Directors has determined that the divestiture of the Home Furnishings Group
    appears to be in the Company's and its shareholders' long-term strategic
    interest and thus has directed the Company to explore alternatives with
    respect to a possible divestiture.  Alternatives currently being explored
    include the creation of a new independent public company through either an
    initial public offering or a spin-off to Company shareholders or the sale
    of the Home Furnishings Group.  The Company anticipates receiving
    substantial cash proceeds either from a cash payment paid by the Home
    Furnishings Group to the Company prior to its becoming a public company or
    from the sale of the Home Furnishings Group.

    Sales of the Home Furnishings Group in 1994 approximated $1.9 billion with
    operating profit of approximately $80 million.  While these sales
    represented 42 percent of the Company's total 1994 sales, operating profit
    from this group comprised less than 14 percent of the Company's 1994
    operating profit.

Note C - Continued:

    The Home Furnishings Group represents an investment of approximately $1.7
    billion on the Company's December 31, 1994 balance sheet.  While the
    Company believes that the book value of its investment in the Home
    Furnishings Group is realizable in the longer term in the ordinary course
    of business, the Company believes that the current value of the Home
    Furnishings Group is well in excess of $1 billion.  Even then, depending
    upon the nature and timing of a divestiture, the potential transactions,
    while strengthening the Company's balance sheet, may involve a substantial
    non-cash charge to the Company's financial statements.

Item 2.              MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF 
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



SECOND QUARTER 1995 AND THE FIRST SIX MONTHS 1995 VERSUS 
SECOND QUARTER 1994 AND THE FIRST SIX MONTHS 1994


     Net sales increased 8 percent and 12 percent for the second quarter and
six months ended June 30, 1995, respectively, from the comparable periods in
1994.  Sales of Home Improvement and Building Products including acquisitions
increased 10 percent and 13 percent, and excluding acquisitions increased 3
percent and 8 percent for the second quarter and six months ended June 30,
1995, respectively, from the comparable periods in 1994.  Sales of Home
Furnishings Products increased 5 percent and 11 percent and excluding a recent
acquisition increased 5 percent and 5 percent for the second quarter and six
months ended June 30, 1995, respectively, from the comparable periods in 1994.

     The Company's operating profit margins declined in the first half of 1995
from the first half of 1994.  Cost of sales as a percentage of sales increased
to 68.0 percent from 67.3 percent and 67.3 percent from 66.9 percent for the
second quarter and six months ended June 30, 1995, respectively, from the
comparable periods in 1994; these increases were the result, among others, of
changing product sales mix, higher brass costs and plant start-up costs. 
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales increased
to 21.7 percent from 20.9 percent and 21.5 percent from 21.4 percent for the
second quarter and six months ended June 30, 1995 from the comparable periods
in 1994.  The increases in selling, general and administrative expenses as a
percentage of sales are primarily due to increased promotional and advertising
costs in the 1995 periods.

     Included in other (income) expense, net for the second quarter and six
months ended June 30, 1995 are equity earnings from MascoTech, Inc. aggregating
$4.5 million and $8.3 million, respectively, as compared with $10.7 million and
$18.1 million of equity earnings in the comparable 1994 periods.  MascoTech's
operating results for the first half of 1995 were negatively impacted by the
reduced results, including restructuring related costs, of certain businesses
MascoTech plans to divest; and by increased costs and expenses reflecting
start-up costs associated with MascoTech's expanded capital investment
programs, launch costs for new products and increased steel costs, principally
for its core transportation-related businesses.

     Also included in other (income) expense, net for the six months ended June
30, 1995, was a $15.9 million gain from the sale of the Company's investment in
Formica Corporation; this gain was offset by charges and reserves for profit
improvement programs and asset disposals that should enhance the Company's
future performance.  Included in other (income) expense, net for the six months
ended June 30, 1994 was a $4.4 million gain from the sale of MascoTech stock.  

                                    8

<PAGE>
     Net income for the first six months of 1995 increased modestly to $137.8
million from $135.4 million, and earnings per share increased to $.87 from
$.86.  Excluding the 1994 MascoTech stock gain and year-to-date equity earnings
from MascoTech for both 1995 and 1994, net income for the first six months of
1995 would have increased 9 percent, from the comparable 1994 period.  Net
income for the second quarter of 1995 decreased 10 percent to $63.4 million
from $70.1 million in the comparable 1994 period, and earnings per share
decreased 9 percent to $.40 from $.44.  Excluding second quarter equity
earnings from MascoTech for both 1995 and 1994, net income for the second
quarter of 1995 would have decreased 4 percent from the comparable 1994 period.
  
     The Company's major markets experienced a slowdown in the 1995 second
quarter as a result of lower housing activity, reduced consumer spending and
inventory reductions by certain customers.  The economic decline in the
Company's major markets currently appears to have bottomed and, unless there is
a further weakening, the Company continues to anticipate improved sales and
operating profit for 1995.

     As announced during the second quarter of 1995, the Company's Board of
Directors has determined that the divestiture of the Home Furnishings Group
appears to be in the Company's and its shareholders' long-term strategic
interest and thus has directed the Company to explore alternatives with respect
to a possible divestiture.  Alternatives currently being explored include the
creation of a new independent public company through either an initial public
offering or a spin-off to Company shareholders or the sale of the Home
Furnishings Group.  The Company anticipates receiving substantial cash proceeds
either from a cash payment paid by the Home Furnishings Group to the Company
prior to its becoming a public company or from the sale of the Home Furnishings
Group.

     Sales of the Home Furnishings Group in 1994 approximated $1.9 billion with
operating profit of approximately $80 million.  While these sales represented
42 percent of the Company's total 1994 sales, operating profit from this group
comprised less than 14 percent of the Company's 1994 operating profit.

     The Home Furnishings Group represents an investment of approximately $1.7
billion on the Company's December 31, 1994 balance sheet.  While the Company
believes that the book value of its investment in the Home Furnishings Group is
realizable in the longer term in the ordinary course of business, the Company
believes that the current value of the Home Furnishings Group is well in excess
of $1 billion.  Even then, depending upon the nature and timing of a
divestiture, the potential transactions, while strengthening the Company's
balance sheet, may involve a substantial non-cash charge to the Company's
financial statements.

     The Company's Home Furnishings Group includes such well-known brands as
Henredon, Drexel Heritage, Lexington, Universal, Berkline, Bench Craft,
Maitland-Smith and Robert Allen Fabrics.

     The Company has on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, an
unallocated shelf registration pursuant to which the Company is able to issue
up to a combined $759.4 million of debt and equity securities.

     At June 30, 1995 current assets were 3.2 times current liabilities.  First
and second quarter 1995 cash from operations was affected by an expected and
recurring first-half increase in accounts receivable.  As the annual increase
in accounts receivable is historically experienced in the first half of the
year, cash flows from operations in the remaining two quarters of 1995 should
not be affected by significant increases in accounts receivable.  The Company
believes that its cash flows from operations and, to the extent necessary,
future financial market activities and bank borrowings, are sufficient to fund
its working capital and other investment needs.

                                     OPINION OF
                              COUNSEL FOR THE BORROWER


                                                   ___________ __, 199_


To the Banks and the Agent
  Referred to Below
c/o Morgan Guaranty Trust Company
  of New York, as Agent
60 Wall Street
New York, New York  10260

Dear Sirs:


             I am Vice President-General Counsel of Masco 
Corporation (the "Borrower") and am familiar with the Amended 
and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of May 18, 1994 among 
the Borrower, the banks party thereto and Morgan Guaranty 
Trust Company of New York, as Agent (the "Credit Agreement") 
and Amendment No. 1 dated as of June 1, 1995 thereto 
("Amendment No. 1").  Terms defined in the Credit Agreement 
are used herein as therein defined.  This opinion is being 
rendered to you pursuant to Section 11 of Amendment No. 1.

             I have examined originals or copies, certified or 
otherwise identified to my satisfaction, of such documents, 
corporate records, certificates of public officials and other 
instruments and have conducted such other investigations of 
fact and law as I have deemed necessary or advisable for 
purposes of this opinion.

             Upon the basis of the foregoing, I am of the opinion 
that:

             1.  The Borrower is a corporation duly incorporated, 
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of 
Delaware, and has all corporate powers and all material 
governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals 
required to carry on its businesses substantially as now 
conducted.


<PAGE>

             2.  The execution, delivery and performance by the 
Borrower of Amendment No. 1, the Credit Agreement as amended 
thereby and the Notes being issued today to The Bank of New 
York and The Mitsubishi Bank, Limited (the "New Notes") are 
within the Borrower's corporate powers, have been duly 
authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Borrower, 
require no action in respect of the Borrower by, or filing in 
respect of the Borrower with, any governmental body, agency or 
official (except filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 
1934, as amended) and do not contravene, or constitute a 
default under any provision of applicable law or regulation or 
of the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of the Borrower 
or of any agreement, judgment, injunction, order, decree or 
other instrument known to me to be binding upon the Borrower 
or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any 
asset of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries under any 
such agreement or instrument.

             3.  Each of Amendment No. 1 and the Credit Agreement 
as amended thereby constitutes a valid and binding agreement 
of the Borrower and each of the New Notes constitutes a valid 
and binding obligation of the Borrower, in each case 
enforceable in accordance with its terms except as the same 
may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws 
affecting creditors' rights generally and by general 
principles of equity. 

             4.  There is no action, suit or proceeding pending 
against, or to the best of my knowledge threatened against or 
affecting, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries before any 
court or arbitrator or any governmental body, agency or 
official which, in my opinion, is likely to have a material 
adverse effect on the business or financial position of the 
Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries, considered as a 
whole, or which in any manner draws into question the validity 
or enforceability of Amendment No. 1, the Credit Agreement as 
amended thereby or the New Notes.


                                   Very truly yours,



                                   John R. Leekley
                                   Vice President and
                                      General Counsel
