MASCOTECH, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

A.    In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
      condensed financial statements contain all adjustments, which are normal
      and recurring in nature, necessary to present fairly its financial
      position as at June 30, 1997 and the results of operations for the three
      and six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 and cash flows for six months
      ended June 30, 1997 and 1996.  In addition, the balance sheet as of
      December 31, 1996 reflects the segregation of net current and net non-
      current assets related to the disposition of the Company's Technical
      Services Group. 

      Primary earnings per common share were computed based on 49.0 million and
      55.4 million weighted average common shares and common equivalent shares
      outstanding for the three months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996,
      respectively.  Primary earnings per common share were computed based on
      49.5 million and 56.6 million weighted average common shares and common
      equivalent shares outstanding for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and
      1996, respectively.
  
      The convertible preferred stock, redeemed for Company Common Stock on June
      27, 1997, met the criteria for inclusion as a common stock equivalent for
      the three and six months ended June 30, 1997.  If such conversion had
      taken place at the beginning of 1997, the primary earnings per common
      share amounts would have approximated the amounts presented, for the three
      and six months ended June 30, 1997, respectively.

      Fully diluted earnings per common share are presented for the three and
      six months ended June 30, 1997 since the assumed conversion of convertible
      securities is dilutive.  Fully diluted earnings per common share were
      calculated based on 59.0 million and 59.5 million weighted average common
      shares outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997. 
      Convertible securities did not have a dilutive effect on earnings (loss)
      per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996.

B.    Inventories by component are as follows (in thousands):

                                                June 30,     December 31,
                                                  1997           1996  

          Finished goods                        $ 20,430       $ 21,020
          Work in process                         21,250         20,360
          Raw materials                           29,280         28,260

                                                $ 70,960       $ 69,640

C.    Property and equipment, net reflects accumulated depreciation of $262
      million and $252 million at June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996,
      respectively.

D.    In the first quarter of 1997, the Company completed the sale of its
      Technical Services Group (comprised of the Company's engineering and
      technical business services units) to MSX International, Inc. ("MSXI"). 
      Also included in this transaction were the net assets of APX
      International, which were acquired by the Company in November, 1996 for
      approximately $44 million.  The sale resulted in total proceeds to the
      Company of approximately $145 million consisting principally of cash,
      subordinated debentures, preferred stock and an approximate 45 percent
      common equity interest in MSXI.  The excess of the consideration received
      by the Company over the book value of the related assets, approximately
      $35 million, has been accounted for as a reduction in the carrying value
      of the Company's investment in MSXI, and will be recognized when
      additional cash is realized from the non-cash proceeds received in the 
      transaction. 

E.    In the first quarter of 1997, TriMas Corporation ("TriMas"), an equity
      affiliate, issued stock as a result of the redemption of a convertible
      debt instrument.  The Company recognized pre-tax income of approximately
      $13 million (approximately $.13 per common share after-tax) as a result of
      the change in the Company's equity ownership in TriMas.

                 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 (continued)

F.    On June 20, 1997, the Company announced that it had signed a Memorandum of
      Understanding with Teksid S.p.A. concerning a possible acquisition by the
      Company of certain businesses of Teksid's Steel Components Division.  It
      is contemplated that the businesses, with 1996 sales of approximately $150
      million, would be spun-off from Teksid and contributed to newly formed
      companies in which Teksid would retain a participation.  The transaction
      is subject to the completion of due diligence, the execution of a
      definitive agreement, regulatory approvals, and approval by the respective
      Boards of Directors and is not expected to close until late 1997.

G.    The Company completed the redemption of all remaining issued and
      outstanding shares of its $1.20 Convertible Preferred Stock ("DECS") on
      June 27, 1997.  Holders of DECS shares, which were surrendered for
      redemption, received in exchange for each share of DECS .955 percent of a
      share of the Company's Common Stock, par value $1.00 per share, resulting
      in the issuance of approximately 10 million shares of Company Common
      Stock.  

H.    The Company has limited involvement with derivative financial instruments,
      and does not use derivatives for trading purposes.  The derivatives,
      principally consisting of S&P 500 futures contracts, are intended to
      reduce the market risk associated with the Company's marketable equity
      securities portfolio.  Derivatives are carried at market value and changes
      in market value of outstanding futures contracts are recognized as
      incurred. The Company's investment in futures contracts increases in value
      as a result of decreases in the underlying stock index and decreases in
      value when the underlying stock index increases.  The contracts are
      financial instruments (with off balance sheet market risk), as they are
      required to be settled in cash.  At June 30, 1997, the notional amount of
      the derivatives was $18 million.  The notional amounts do not represent
      the amounts exchanged by the parties, and thus are not a measure of the
      exposure of the Company through its use of derivatives.  The Company's
      market risk is subject to the price differential between the future
      contract market value and future contract cost.

      Futures contracts trade on organized exchanges, and as a result,
      settlement of such contracts has little credit risk.  Initial margin
      requirements are met in cash or other instruments, and changes in the
      contract values are settled periodically.  Initial margin requirements are
      recorded as cash investments in the balance sheet.  Futures contracts are
      short-term in nature, usually less than six months.  Related gains and
      losses are reported as income or loss in other income (expense) as part of
      marketable securities portfolio gain or loss.  The Company recognized net
      gains from its marketable securities portfolio and S&P 500 futures
      contracts of approximately $4 million in the quarter ended June 30, 1997.

I.    The Company expects that Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
      128 ("SFAS 128"), "Earnings Per Share," will not have a material impact on
      its fully diluted earnings per share calculation when adopted at December
      31, 1997.

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

      Sales of the Company's core transportation-related businesses, aided by an
acquisition, increased approximately five percent to approximately $233 
million in the second quarter of 1997 from $223 million in 1996.  The 
Company's reported consolidated sales for the 1996 second quarter of 
approximately $345 million include the results of certain businesses which 
have been disposed, as previously announced.

      Sales of the Company's core transportation-related businesses, aided by an
acquisition, increased approximately five percent to approximately $466 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1997 from approximately $443 million in 1996. 
The Company's reported consolidated sales for the six month period ended June
30, 1996 of approximately $719 million include the results of certain businesses
which have been disposed, as previously announced.

      Income after preferred stock dividends in the second quarter of 1997 was
approximately $21.7 million or a record $.46 per common share for the quarter. 
In the second quarter of 1996, net loss after preferred stock dividends was $9.9
million or $.18 per common share, including losses relating to the disposition
of MascoTech Stamping Technologies, Inc. (MSTI).  Excluding the losses related
to MSTI, earnings per common share would have been approximately $.29 for the
second quarter of 1996.

      Operating profit for the Company's core businesses before general
corporate expense  for the six months and three months ended June 30, 1997 was
approximately $75 million and $36 million, respectively, as compared with $65
million and $34 million for the comparable periods in 1996. 

      The Company's results for second quarter 1997 were negatively impacted by
work stoppages at certain North American vehicle manufacturers that resulted in
reduced sales volume and profits.  The negative impact of the work stoppages on
the Company's results for the second quarter was offset by net gains from the
Company's marketable securities portfolio of approximately $.04 per common
share.

      Results for the six month period ended June 30, 1997 benefitted from pre-
tax gains aggregating approximately $22 million (approximately $.22 per common
share after-tax) as a result of an equity transaction by an affiliate of the
Company and gains from the Company's marketable securities portfolio.  Results
for the six month period ended June 30, 1996 benefitted from the required
adoption of an accounting change, which resulted in after-tax income of $11.7
million or approximately $.20 per common share.

      The Company completed the redemption of all remaining issued and
outstanding shares of its $1.20 Convertible Preferred Stock ("DECS") on June 27,
1997.  Holders of DECS shares, which were surrendered for redemption, received
in exchange for each share of DECS .955 percent of a share of the Company's
Common Stock, par value $1.00 per share, resulting in the issuance of
approximately 10 million shares of Company Common Stock.

      In the first quarter of 1997, the Company completed the sale of its
Technical Services Group (comprised of the Company's engineering and technical
business services units) to MSX International, Inc. ("MSXI").  Also included in
this transaction were the net assets of APX International, which were acquired
by the Company in November, 1996 for approximately $44 million.  The sale
resulted in total proceeds to the Company of approximately $145 million
consisting principally of cash, subordinated debentures, preferred stock and an
approximate 45 percent common equity interest in MSXI.  The excess of the
consideration received by the Company over the book value of the related assets,
approximately $35 million, has been accounted for as a reduction in the carrying
value of the Company's investment in MSXI, and will be recognized when
additional cash is realized from the non-cash proceeds received in the 
transaction.

      Equity and interest income from affiliates increased in the second quarter
of 1997 as compared to the second quarter of 1996 principally as a result of
increased earnings from equity affiliates and the MSXI transaction.

      The Company declared and paid a cash dividend of $.05 per common share in
the second quarter of 1997.  The Board of Directors declared a dividend of $.06
per common share,  a 20 percent increase in the quarterly dividend rate, on July
10, 1997 payable on August 18, 1997.

      Additional borrowings available under the Company's amended revolving
credit agreement and otherwise, and anticipated internal cash flows are expected
to provide sufficient liquidity to fund the Company's foreseeable working
capital, acquisitions, capital expansion programs, dividends, any stock
repurchases and other investment needs.  At June 30, 1997, current assets were
approximately two times current liabilities.
