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, 2000 and the results of operations
         for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 and cash
         flows for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999. Certain amounts
         for the period ended June 30, 1999 have been reclassified to conform to

E.       In March 2000, the Company acquired a manufacturer of towing equipment
         and accessories. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and
         results are included from date of acquisition.

F.       Interest rate swap agreements covering a notional debt amount of $400
         million expired or were terminated in June 2000 at a gain, and the
         Company received proceeds of approximately $15.8 million. The Company
         has deferred a portion of the gain in the amount of approximately $14.9
         million which will be recognized through a reduction in annual interest
         expense through 2003. The cash proceeds were used for the reduction of
         long-term debt and are reflected as financing activities in the
         Consolidated Condensed Statement of Cash Flows.

         Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that would
         occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were
         converted or exercised into common stock.

         The 1999 basic earnings per share amounts for the quarters may not
         total to the year-to-date amounts due to the purchase and retirement of
         shares throughout the year.

I.       During June 2000, the Company entered into an agreement to sell, on an
         ongoing basis, the trade accounts receivable of certain business
         operations to a wholly owned, bankruptcy-remote, special purpose
         subsidiary ("MTSPC") of the Company. MTSPC has sold and, subject to
         certain conditions, may from time to time sell, an undivided fractional
         ownership interest in the pool of receivables up to approximately $50
         million to a third party multi-seller receivables funding company (the
         "conduit"). Upon sale to the conduit, MTSPC holds a subordinated
         retained interest in the receivables. The estimated fair value of the
         subordinated retained interest, excluding allowance for doubtful
         accounts, was approximately $23.7 million at June 30, 2000, which is
         included in the receivables balance. Under the terms of the agreement,
         new receivables are added to the pool as collections reduce previously
         sold receivables. The Company services, administers, and collects the
         receivables on behalf of MTSPC and the conduit. The proceeds of sale
         are less than the face amount of accounts receivable sold by an amount
         that approximates the purchaser's financing costs. The related expense
         of approximately $.35 million has been included in selling, general and
         administrative expenses in the Company's Consolidated Condensed
         Statement of Income. The proceeds were used for the reduction of
         long-term debt and are reflected as operating cash flows in the
         accompanying Consolidated Condensed Statement of Cash Flows.

J.       The Company completed the sale of its aftermarket-related and vacuum
         metalizing businesses in 1999. These transactions resulted in a pre-tax
         gain of approximately $26 million, of which $10 million was recognized
         in the first quarter of 1999 (including $15.2 million ($6 million
         after-tax) resulting from the Company's revised estimate of the fair
         market value of certain assets held for sale at March 31, 1999 and a
         loss of approximately $5.2 million ($3.8 million after-tax) on a
         transaction that closed in March 1999). The remaining pre-tax gain on
         disposition of approximately $16 million ($13.0 million after-tax) was
         recognized in the second quarter of 1999.

K.       In the second quarter of 1999, the Company recognized a non-cash charge
         of $3.1 million pre-tax to reflect the other than temporary decline in
         value of an equity affiliate of the Company.


L.       In the second quarter 1999, the Company recorded a non-cash charge of
         $17.5 million related to an impairment of certain long lived assets,
         related to its hydroforming equipment and intellectual property. The
         revised carrying values of these assets were generally calculated based
         on expected future cash flows which were determined to be insufficient
         to recover the related carrying value.

M.       On August 2, 2000, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to
         merge with an affiliate of Heartland Industrial Partners, L.P. in a
         going private transaction. The value of the recapitalization
         transaction, including the assumption of debt, is expected to exceed $2
         billion. The agreement provides for a cash payment at the closing of
         $16.90 per common share plus an additional amount based upon proceeds
         realized on the disposition of certain non-operating assets, currently
         anticipated to result in an aggregate per common share payment of
         between $17 and $18. The transaction is subject to certain conditions
         including the completion of financing and a stockholder vote.

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

         MascoTech sales for the second quarter 2000 increased modestly to $442
million as compared with $437 million in 1999. Sales for the second quarter
2000, excluding the impact of the disposition of the Company's specialty tubing
and aftermarket-related businesses and including recent acquisitions, would have
increased approximately four percent to $442 million in 2000 as compared with
$425 million in 1999. Sales for the second quarter 2000, excluding acquisitions
and dispositions, would have decreased approximately one percent.

     Second quarter income and earnings per share were $26 million and $.51 in
both 2000 and 1999. Second quarter 2000 income benefited from increased equity
affiliate income principally related to a gain recognized by one of the
Company's affiliates from the sale of assets. The Company's share of this gain
was principally offset by costs and expenses related to the previously announced
closure of a plant and costs associated with the launch of a new manufacturing
facility. The second quarter income for 1999 benefited from a gain of
approximately $16.5 million pre-tax, related to the sale of the Company's
aftermarket-related businesses. This gain, which has a low effective tax rate,
was offset by charges to reflect the impairment in value of certain assets
related to the Company's hydroforming process, $17.5 million pre-tax, and
approximately $3 million pre-tax to reflect an other than temporary decline in
the value of an equity affiliate.

         The following information related to sales, operating profit and
margins relates to the Company's operating segments.

     Sales for the Company's Specialty Metal Formed products, aided by an
acquisition, increased five percent in the second quarter 2000 as compared with
1999. Excluding the impact of an acquisition and the disposition of the
Company's specialty tubing business, sales would have decreased approximately
three percent principally as a result of currency fluctuations.

         Sales of Specialty Fasteners for second quarter 2000 declined
approximately five percent reflecting the phase out of certain products
resulting from a plant closure and continued softness for aerospace fastener
applications. Excluding the impact of the plant closure, sales would have
approximated 1999 levels. Sales of Towing Systems, aided by acquisitions,
increased seven percent in the second quarter 2000 as compared with 1999.
Excluding the impact of an acquisition, Towing sales would have approximated
1999 levels. Second quarter sales for Specialty Packaging and Sealing Products
increased two percent as a result of improved sales of specialty gaskets
and related products. Sales of Specialty Industrial Products increased four
percent in second quarter 2000 from 1999 levels.

     Sales for the six months ended June 30, 2000 increased two percent to $902
million from $885 million in 1999. Sales for the six months ended June 30, 2000,
excluding the impact of the disposition of the Company's specialty tubing and
aftermarket-related businesses and including recent acquisitions, would have
increased approximately 7 percent to $901 million in 2000 as compared with $840
million in 1999. Sales for the six months ended June 30, 2000, excluding
acquisitions and dispositions, would have increased two percent. Operating
profit, excluding in 1999 the net gain on disposition of businesses and charge
for asset impairment, for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 was
approximately $120 million and $126 million, respectively. For the six month
period ended June 30, 2000, sales of Specialty Metal Formed products and Towing
Systems aided by acquisitions increased nine and eleven percent, respectively,
as compared with 1999. Sales for Specialty Fasteners decreased two percent as a
result of the phase out of certain products related to a plant closure and a
decline in aerospace fastener sales as a result of soft market conditions.
Specialty Packaging and Sealing sales for the first six months increased four
percent as a result of improved sales of specialty gaskets and related products.
Sales for Specialty Industrial products for the first half of 2000 approximated
1999 levels.

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

         Second quarter operating margin was 12.9 percent in 2000 compared with
13.4 percent in 1999, excluding, in 1999, the results of the Company's
aftermarket and vacuum metalizing businesses, the gain on disposition and the
non-recurring charge for asset impairment. The decrease in operating margin is
the result of the phase out of certain products and plant closure costs. In
addition, start up costs related to the launch of new products and a new
manufacturing facility negatively impacted operating performance.

         The tax rate for second quarter 2000 was 39.5 percent. The higher than
statutory rate of 39.5 percent results primarily from non-deductible goodwill
amortization for tax purposes. The tax rate for second quarter 1999 was 33
percent, which resulted from the tax treatment related to the divested
businesses and the asset impairment charge.

         The Board of Directors declared a dividend of $.08 per common share,
payable on August 14, 2000, to shareholders of record on July 21, 2000.

         In the second quarter, the Company entered into a securitization
agreement to sell, on an ongoing basis, a pool of its trade accounts receivable.
The proceeds, approximately $48 million, from the sale were used for the
reduction of long-term debt.

         In the second quarter, the Company's interest rate swap agreements
covering a notional amount of $400 million expired or were terminated resulting
in proceeds of approximately $15.8 million. The cash proceeds were used for the
reduction of long-term debt. As a result of the expiration or termination of the
interest rate swap agreements, the Company has greater exposure to interest rate
fluctuations on its floating rate debt.

     On August 2, 2000, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to merge
with an affiliate of Heartland Industrial Partners, L.P. in a going private
transaction. The value of the recapitalization transaction, including the
assumption of debt, is expected to exceed $2 billion. The agreement provides for
a cash payment at the closing of $16.90 per common share plus an additional
amount based upon proceeds realized on the disposition of certain non-operating
assets, currently anticipated to result in an aggregate per common share payment
of between $17 and $18. To the extent the disposition of the non-operating
assets is not completed prior to closing, proceeds from any subsequent
disposition will be distributed to stockholders after the disposition is
completed. The transaction is subject to certain conditions, including the
completion of financing and a stockholder vote.  Several stockholder class
action lawsuits have been filed against the Company and each of the Company's
directors in the Delaware Court of Chancery on behalf of the Company's
unaffiliated stockholders related to this transaction. The Company believes that
the allegations contained in these complaints are without merit and intend to
contest the actions vigorously.

         For the six months ended June 30, 2000 the Company's revenues were
negatively impacted by changes in foreign exchange rates related to the German
mark, the Italian lira, the Australian dollar and the British pound.

         At June 30, 2000, current assets, which aggregated approximately $430
million, were approximately two times current liabilities. Additional borrowings
available under the Company's revolving credit agreement and otherwise,
anticipated internal cash flows, and, to the extent necessary, future financings
in the financial markets are expected to provide sufficient liquidity to fund
the Company's foreseeable working capital, capital expansion programs and other
investment needs subject to compliance with bank covenants.
