C.      During the second quarter of 1999, the Company acquired Avocet Hardware
        PLC, a U.K. supplier of locks and other builders' hardware, The Cary
        Group, a U.S.-based insulation services company and The GMU Group, a
        manufacturer and distributor of kitchen cabinets and cabinet components,
        headquartered in Zumaya, Spain. Late in the first quarter of 1999, the
        Company acquired A&J Gummers, a U.K. manufacturer of shower valve
        products, and The Faucet Queens, Inc., a U.S.-based supplier of plumbing
        accessories and hardware products.

        The aggregate net purchase price of these cash acquisitions was
        approximately $405 million and the acquisitions were accounted for as
        purchase transactions. Combined 1998 annual net sales of the above
        companies were approximately $350 million.

        The Company continues to be active in its acquisition efforts, and
        expects that several acquisitions may be completed and announced in the
        last half of 1999.

        Included in other interest income for the three months and six months
        ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 is interest income of approximately $11.3
        million and $22.6 million and approximately $10.1 million and $20.2
        million, respectively, from the 12% pay-in-kind junior debt securities
        of Furnishings International Inc. (approximately $377 million principal
        amount at December 31, 1998).

        Other, net for the three months and six months ended June 30, 1999
        consists primarily of income and gains, net regarding certain
        non-operating assets; the 1998 second quarter and first six months
        included approximately $16.0 million and $26.4 million of such income
        and gains, net, respectively.

        Also included in other, net for the six months ended June 30, 1998 was a
        $29 million pre-tax gain from the sale of the Company's investment in
        TriMas Corporation to MascoTech, Inc. in the public tender offer. Such
        1998 gain was largely offset by an approximate $12 million pre-tax
        charge related to the early retirement of long-term debt, and by pre-tax
        charges aggregating approximately $11 million principally related to
        asset writedowns.

                                MASCO CORPORATION

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

SECOND QUARTER 1999 AND THE FIRST SIX MONTHS 1999 VERSUS
SECOND QUARTER 1998 AND THE FIRST SIX MONTHS 1998

                              SALES AND OPERATIONS

        Net sales increased 17 percent and 14 percent for the three months and
six months ended June 30, 1999, respectively, from the comparable periods in
1998. Excluding acquisition and divestiture of companies, net sales increased 10
percent for both the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 1999 from
the comparable periods in 1998; these increases in net sales are principally due
to increases in unit sales volume of cabinets, other kitchen and bath products
and builders' hardware, and higher installation sales of fiberglass insulation.

        Sales of Kitchen and Bath Products for the three months and six months
ended June 30, 1999 were $907 million and $1,768 million, respectively,
representing increases of 8 percent and 7 percent, respectively, from the
comparable periods in 1998; excluding acquisition and divestiture of companies,
net sales of this segment increased 8 percent for both the three month and six
month periods ended June 30, 1999.

        Sales of Environmental Products and Services for the three months and
six months ended June 30, 1999 were $181 million and $319 million, respectively,
representing increases of 69 percent and 59 percent, respectively, from the
comparable periods in 1998; excluding acquisition of companies, net sales of
this segment increased 24 percent and 28 percent, respectively, for the three
months and six months ended June 30, 1999.

        Sales of Builders' Hardware and Other Specialty Products for the three
months and six months ended June 30, 1999 were $181 million and $329 million,
respectively, representing increases of 32 percent and 22 percent, respectively,
from the comparable periods in 1998; excluding acquisition of companies, net
sales of this segment increased 11 percent and 12 percent, respectively, for the
three months and six months ended June 30, 1999.

        Net sales from North American operations for the three months and six
months ended June 30, 1999 were $1,002 million and $1,926 million, respectively,

comparable periods in 1998; excluding acquisition and divestiture of companies,
net sales from these operations increased 13 percent and 12 percent,
respectively, from the comparable periods in 1998. Net sales from European

million and $490 million, respectively, representing increases of 35 percent and
29 percent, respectively, from the comparable periods in 1998; excluding
acquisition of companies, net sales from these operations were approximately
flat when compared with the prior year periods.

           FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

                         SALES AND OPERATIONS, CONTINUED

        The Company's operating profit margins in the second quarter and first
half of 1999 approximated those of the comparable 1998 periods. Cost of sales as
a percentage of sales increased to 64.0 percent from 63.7 percent and to 63.9
percent from 63.6 percent for the second quarter and six months ended June 30,
1999, respectively, from the comparable periods in 1998; selling, general and
administrative expenses as a percentage of sales decreased to 19.0 percent from
19.7 percent and to 19.2 percent from 19.8 percent for the second quarter and
six months ended June 30, 1999, respectively, from the comparable periods in
1998. The Company's cost-containment initiatives and the leveraging of fixed
costs over a higher sales base contributed to the decrease in selling, general
and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales. The Company's operating
profit margins, before general corporate expense, were 17.9 percent and 18.0
percent for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 1999, respectively,
as compared with 18.0 percent for both of the comparable 1998 periods; these
margins before general corporate expense and goodwill amortization were 18.7
percent and 18.8 percent for the second quarter and six months ended June 30,
1999, respectively, as compared with 18.6 percent for both of the comparable
1998 periods. Operating profit margins, after general corporate expense, were
16.2 percent for both the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 1999, as
compared with 16.0 percent for both of the comparable 1998 periods.

                           OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE), NET

        Included in other income (expense), net for the second quarter and six
months ended June 30, 1999 were equity earnings from MascoTech, Inc. of $4.4
million and $8.4 million, respectively, as compared with equity earnings of $5.1
million and $10.3 million for the comparable periods of the prior year.

        Included in other interest income for the three months and six months
ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 is interest income of approximately $11.3 million
and $22.6 million and approximately $10.1 million and $20.2 million,
respectively, from the 12% pay-in-kind junior debt securities of Furnishings
International Inc. (approximately $377 million principal amount at December 31,
1998).

        Other, net for the three months and six months ended June 30, 1999
consists primarily of income and gains, net regarding certain non-operating
assets; the 1998 second quarter and first six months included approximately
$16.0 million and $26.4 million of such income and gains, net, respectively.

        Also included in other, net for the six months ended June 30, 1998 was a
$29 million pre-tax gain from the sale of the Company's investment in TriMas
Corporation to MascoTech, Inc. in the public tender offer. Such 1998 gain was
largely offset by an approximate $12 million pre-tax charge related to the early
retirement of long-term debt, and by pre-tax charges aggregating approximately
$11 million principally related to certain asset writedowns.

                        NET INCOME AND EARNINGS PER SHARE

        Net income for the second quarter of 1999 increased 18 percent to $138.6
million from $117.0 million in the comparable 1998 period. Diluted earnings per
share for the second quarter of 1999 increased 21 percent to $.41 from $.34 for
the comparable period of 1998.

        Net income for the six months ended June 30, 1999 increased 16 percent
to $262.9 million from $227.6 million in the comparable 1998 period. Diluted
earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 1999 increased 17 percent
to $.77 from $.66 for the comparable period of 1998.

           FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

                  NET INCOME AND EARNINGS PER SHARE, CONTINUED

        The Company's effective tax rate was 37.0 percent for the second quarter
and six months ended June 30, 1999, as compared with 38.0 percent and 39.0
percent, respectively, for the comparable periods of the prior year. The
reduction in the Company's effective tax rate includes the benefit of increased
utilization of foreign tax credits.

                              CORPORATE DEVELOPMENT

        During the second quarter of 1999, the Company acquired Avocet Hardware
PLC, a U.K. supplier of locks and other builders' hardware, The Cary Group, a
U.S.-based insulation services company and The GMU Group, a manufacturer and
distributor of kitchen cabinets and cabinet components, headquartered in Zumaya,
Spain. Late in the first quarter of 1999, the Company acquired A&J Gummers, a
U.K. manufacturer of shower valve products, and The Faucet Queens, Inc., a
U.S.-based supplier of plumbing accessories and hardware products.

        The aggregate net purchase price of these cash acquisitions was
approximately $405 million and the acquisitions were accounted for as purchase
transactions. Combined 1998 annual net sales of the above companies were
approximately $350 million.

        The Company continues to be active in its acquisition efforts, and
expects that several acquisitions may be completed and announced in the last
half of 1999.

                           OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION

        At June 30, 1999, current assets were 1.8 times current liabilities;
excluding $200 million of 6.625% notes due Septemmber 15, 1999, the Company's
working capital ratio was 2.0 to 1.

        For the six months ended June 30, 1999, cash of $165.5 million was
provided by operating activities. Cash used for investing activities was $532.4
million, including $405.4 million for acquisition of companies, $122.6 million
for capital expenditures and $4.4 million for other cash outflows. Cash used
for financing activities was $96.5 million, including $106.8 million for the
purchase of Company common stock, $74.5 million for cash dividends paid and
$84.8 million for the net increase in debt. The aggregate of the preceding items
represents a net cash outflow of $463.4 million. Changes in working capital and
debt as indicated on the statement of cash flows exclude the effect of
acquisition of companies, other than as mentioned above.

        First and second quarter 1999 cash from operations was affected by an
expected and annually recurring first-half increase in accounts receivable
(although there was no significant increase in receivable days). Most of the
annual increase in accounts receivable resulting from sales increases is
typically experienced in the first half of the year.

        During the first six months of 1999, the Company repurchased
approximately 4 million of its common shares in open-market transactions. At
June 30, 1999, the Company had remaining authorization to repurchase up to an
additional 8.5 million shares of its common stock in open-market transactions or
otherwise.

        During August 1999, the Company issued $300 million of 7.75% debentures
due August 2029. After giving effect to the issuance of these debentures, 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 $109 million of debt and equity securities.

        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 future working capital and other investment needs.

                                  OTHER MATTERS

EURO CONVERSION

        A single currency called the euro was introduced in Europe on January 1,
1999. Eleven of the fifteen member countries of the European Union adopted the
euro as their common legal currency as of that date. Fixed conversion rates
between these participating countries' existing currencies (the "legacy
currencies") and the euro were established as of that date. The legacy
currencies will remain legal tender as denominations of the euro until at least
January 1, 2002 (but not intended to be later than July 1, 2002). During this
transition period, parties may settle non-cash transactions using either the
euro or a participating country's legacy currency. Cash transactions will
continue to be settled in the legacy currencies of participating countries until
January 1, 2002, when euro-denominated currency will be issued. The Company is
currently making changes to existing systems to facilitate a smooth transition
to the new currency and believes that conversion to the euro will not have a
material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

YEAR 2000

        The year 2000 ("Y2K") issue is the result of computer programs being
written using two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Any of
the Company's systems or equipment that have date-sensitive software using only
two digits may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year
2000. The resulting system failures or miscalculations may cause disruption of
operations, including, among other things, a temporary inability to process
transactions or send and receive electronic data with third parties or engage in
similar normal business activities.

        In 1997, the Company formed an internal review team to address the Y2K
issue. This team, consisting of employees of the Company, has developed a year
2000 compliance program (the "Y2K Program") which includes: assessing and
monitoring the compliance of all applications, operating systems and hardware on
mainframe, mid-range, personal computer and network platforms; addressing issues
related to non-information technology embedded software and equipment; and
addressing the compliance of key business partners. Executive management
regularly monitors the status of the Company's Y2K Program.

        The first component of the Y2K Program is to identify the computer
systems and other equipment with embedded technology that are susceptible to
failures or errors as a result of the Y2K issue. This effort is substantially
complete.

        The second component involves the actual remediation or replacement of
non-compliant systems and equipment. For its information technology, the Company
generally utilizes mid-range, non-mainframe based computing environments which
are complemented by a series of local-area networks that are connected via a
wide-area network. Substantially all operating systems related to the mid-range
systems and networks have been updated to comply with Y2K requirements. In
addition, upgraded or modified versions of the Company's financial,
manufacturing, human resource, and other packaged software applications which
are Y2K compliant are in the process of being tested and integrated into the
Company's overall system. The Company believes it has substantially completed
this integration.

ITEM 2.              MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
           FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

                            OTHER MATTERS, CONTINUED

        The Company utilizes some microcomputers and software in its various
manufacturing processes throughout the world. The Company has assessed potential
Y2K issues in those processes. General findings to date indicate that problems
usually relate to old personal computers or embedded microprocessors that must
be replaced. Although there can be no assurance that the Company will identify
and correct every Y2K issue found in the computer applications used in its
manufacturing processes, the Company believes that it has in place a
comprehensive program to identify and correct any such problems and believes
that its operations have substantially completed the remediation of all of their
manufacturing systems.

        The Company is also reviewing its building and utility systems (i.e.,
telephones, security, electrical) to determine any Y2K issues as part of its Y2K
Program. Many of these systems are Y2K compliant. While the Company is working
with suppliers of these systems and has no reason to expect that they will not
meet their Y2K compliance targets, there is no guarantee that they will do so.

        The third component of the Y2K Program, which was initiated in late
1997, involves communication with significant suppliers and customers to
determine the extent to which the Company is vulnerable to such parties' failure
to remediate their own Y2K issues. The Company's efforts with respect to
specific issues identified, including the development of contingency plans,
depend in part upon its assessment of the risk that such issues could have a
material adverse impact on the Company. Senior management at the Company's
operating subsidiaries have been charged with identifying third party Y2K risks
which could materially disrupt the subsidiaries' business operations. The
Company is assisting its subsidiaries in developing contingency plans where such
risks have been identified. Contingency plans may include securing alternate
sources of supply, increasing inventory and staffing levels, stockpiling raw and
packaging materials and other appropriate measures. The Company's operations
have made substantial progress in the development of contingency plans and will
continue to refine them throughout the remainder of the year. The Company will
continue to monitor and evaluate the progress of its subsidiaries on this
critical matter.

        The most reasonably likely worst case Y2K scenario for the Company is a
failure on the part of a significant customer or supplier to remediate their own
Y2K issues which results in a disruption of Company operations. However, because
the Company's customer base is broad enough to minimize the impact of the
failure of any single customer interface, and the contingency plans described
above should mitigate supply problems, the Company currently does not believe
that it has any material exposure to significant business interruption as a
result of Y2K issues. The estimated total cost of the Y2K Program is between $15
million and $20 million, which includes planned upgrades. This cost, most of
which has been incurred and expensed at June 30, 1999, is not expected to be
material to the Company's results of operations or financial position. This
cost, and the timing in which the Company plans to complete the Y2K Program, are
based on management's best estimates, at the present time. Accordingly, there
can be no absolute assurance that the Company will timely identify and remediate
all significant Y2K issues, that remedial efforts will not involve significant
time and expense, or that such issues will not have an adverse effect on the
Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
