EXPLANATORY NOTE:

     Items 1 and 2 of the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
quarter ended March 31, 2000 are hereby amended by deleting the Items in their
entirety and replacing them with the Items attached hereto and filed herewith.

     The purpose of this amendment is to provide expanded disclosure regarding
the Company's business segments in the segment information note to the financial
statements included in the financial statements that were included in Item 1 of
the subject Form 10-Q as originally filed (the "Original Filing") and to make
corresponding changes to Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial

Filing.  The Company recently filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 under
the Securities Act of 1933. In the course of processing the Registration

comments to the Company.  Based on the staff's comments, the Company revised the
Segment Information note to its financial statements included in its Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999 and filed Form 10-K/A
Amendment No. 1 in order to provide this expanded disclosure in the Segment
Information note and to make corresponding changes to Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.  This Form 10-Q/A
is being filed to make corresponding changes to information contained in the
Original Filing.

     The Company's Form 10-Q continues to speak as of the date of the Original
Filing and the disclosure in that report has not been updated to speak to any
later date.  Any items in the Original Filing not expressly changed hereby shall
be as set forth in the Original Filing.  All information contained in this
amendment and the Original Filing is subject to updating and supplementing as
provided in the Company's periodic reports filed with the SEC subsequent to the
date of such reports.

              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
      March 31, 2000 and the results of operations and changes in cash flows for
      the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999. The condensed consolidated
      balance sheet at December 31, 1999 was derived from audited financial
      statements. The first quarter of 1999 has been restated to include the
      results of transactions accounted for as poolings of interests during the
      third quarter of 1999.

B.    The following are reconciliations of the numerators and denominators used

C.    During the first quarter of 2000, in purchase transactions, the Company
      acquired Tvilum-Scanbirk A/S, a manufacturer of ready-to-assemble
      products, including cabinetry, shelving, storage units and workstations,
      and a smaller company. Headquartered in Faarvang, Denmark, Tvilum-Scanbirk
      had sales in 1999 in excess of $200 million. The aggregate net purchase
      price of these purchase acquisitions, excluding assumed debt of
      approximately $60 million, was approximately $260 million and included
      approximately four million shares of Company common stock valued at
      approximately $90 million.

      The purchase agreements provide for the payment of additional
      consideration, contingent upon certain conditions being met. Such
      additional consideration would be recorded as additional purchase price.
      The excess of the aggregate acquisition costs for these purchase
      acquisitions over the calculated fair value of net assets acquired has
      been recorded as acquired goodwill, to be amortized over periods not
      exceeding forty years.

(A) Percent change in sales excluding purchase acquisitions.

         Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2000 increased 26
percent from the comparable period in 1999; excluding purchase acquisitions,
first quarter 2000 net sales increased 10 percent over the comparable period of
the prior year.

         Changes in net sales in the following discussion exclude the influence
of purchase acquisitions.

         Net sales of Plumbing Products increased 1 percent for the first
quarter of 2000 from the comparable period of the prior year.  Net sales of
Cabinets and Related Products increased 13 percent for the first quarter of 2000
from the first quarter of 1999 due largely to increased unit sales volume.  Net
sales of Plumbing Products and Cabinets and Related Products were negatively
influenced by a stronger U.S. dollar, which affected the translation of European
operations included in these segments.

         Net sales of Decorative Architectural Products increased 17 percent for
the first quarter of 2000 from the comparable period of the prior year due
largely to higher unit sales volume of these products.  Net sales of the
Company's Insulation Installation and Other Services segment increased 42
percent in the first quarter of 2000 due largely to higher installation sales of
and higher prices for fiberglass insulation and broader geographic U.S. market
penetration.




















         Net sales of Other Specialty Products decreased 5 percent for the first
quarter of 2000 from the comparable period of the prior year due largely to the
negative influence of a stronger U.S. dollar, which affected the translation of
European operations included in this segment. Excluding this currency
translation effect, net sales of this segment were flat in the first quarter of
2000 as compared with the first quarter of 1999.

         Net sales from North American operations for the first quarter of 2000
increased 12 percent from the comparable period in the prior year. Net sales
from International operations for the first quarter of 2000 decreased
approximately 1 percent when compared with the first quarter of 1999. A stronger
U.S. dollar, principally against the German deutsche mark, had an unfavorable
effect on the translation of International sales in the first quarter of 2000 as
compared with the first quarter of 1999; the Company anticipates that
unfavorable foreign currency translation effects may continue for the balance of
the year. Net sales from International operations in the first quarter of 2000
in local currencies increased by approximately 8 percent.

         Cost of sales as a percentage of sales increased to 64.5 percent for
the first quarter of 2000 from 62.9 percent for the comparable period in 1999.
The increase in cost of sales as a percentage of sales includes costs related to
a slower than anticipated new product launch, plant startup and relocation
costs, lower gross margins of certain acquired companies and a less favorable
product mix. Excluding amortization of acquired goodwill ($14.2 million and $8.3
million for the first quarters of 2000 and 1999, respectively), selling, general
and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales for the first quarter of
2000 decreased to 19.3 percent from 19.7 percent for the comparable period in
1999. The Company's cost-containment initiatives including 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 margin, before general corporate expense
and goodwill amortization, was 17.6 percent for the first quarter of 2000 as
compared with 19.0 percent for the first quarter of 1999. Operating profit
margin, after general corporate expense and goodwill amortization, was 15.4
percent for the first quarter of 2000 as compared with 16.9 percent for the
first quarter of 1999. The Company's operating profit margin decreased in the
first quarter of 2000 as compared with the first quarter of 1999, due
principally to higher cost of sales and higher goodwill amortization as a
percentage of sales.

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

                           OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE), NET

         Equity earnings from MascoTech, Inc. for the first quarter of 2000 were
   $4.3 million as compared with equity earnings from MascoTech of $4.0 million
   for the comparable period of 1999.

         Included in other interest income for the three months ended March 31,
   2000 and 1999 is $12.8 million and $11.3 million, respectively, of interest
   income from the 12% pay-in-kind junior debt securities of Furnishings
   International Inc. (approximately $424 million at December 31, 1999).

         Other, net for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 was $25.5
   million and $11.4 million, respectively, and resulted primarily from income
   and gains, net regarding certain non-operating assets.

         Interest expense for the year 2000 first quarter increased $12.2
   million to $38.8 million over first quarter 1999 interest expense of $26.6
   million. This increase was substantially offset by income and gains, net
   regarding certain non-operating assets included in other, net.

                        NET INCOME AND EARNINGS PER SHARE

         Net income and diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of 2000
   each increased 15 percent to $174.0 million and $.39 from $151.9 million and
   $.34, respectively, for the comparable period of 1999.

                           OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION

         The Company's current ratio was 1.8 to 1 at March 31, 2000, and was
   negatively influenced by short-term acquisition-related borrowings; such
   ratio was 2.5 to 1 at December 31, 1999.

         For the three months ended March 31, 2000, cash of $18.5 million was
   provided by operating activities. Cash used for investing activities was
   $384.9 million, including $170.4 million for acquisitions, $86.1 million for
   capital expenditures and $128.4 million for investments in noncurrent assets
   and other, net. Cash provided by financing activities was $209.8 million,
   including $263.1 million from a net increase in bank debt largely for
   acquisitions, and $53.3 million for cash dividends paid. The aggregate of the
   preceding items represents a net cash outflow of $156.6 million. Changes in
   working capital and debt as indicated on the statement of cash flows exclude
   the working capital and debt of acquired companies at the time of
   acquisition.

         First quarter 2000 cash from operations was affected by an expected and
   annually recurring seasonal first quarter 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 April 2000, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the
   repurchase of up to 40 million shares of its common stock in open-market
   transactions or otherwise.

                                MASCO CORPORATION

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

         The Company has on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission
   ("SEC"), 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 intends to file a shelf registration statement with the SEC
   during 2000 to authorize the issuance of additional debt and equity
   securities.

         The Company believes that its present cash balance, its cash flows from
   operations and, to the extent necessary, bank borrowings and future financial
   market activities, are sufficient to fund its working capital and other
   investment needs.

                                  OTHER MATTERS

         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 completing 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.
