1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     FISCAL PERIOD - The Company uses a fifty-two, fifty-three week fiscal
     year.  Fiscal periods end on the Sunday nearest the end of the month.  For
     clarity of presentation, all periods are presented as if they ended on the
     last day of the calendar period.  The three-month and nine-month periods
     ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 each contained thirteen weeks and thirty
     nine weeks respectively.

     PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION - The consolidated financial statements
     include the accounts of MagneTek, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company).
     All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been
     eliminated.

     USE OF ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in conformity
     with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
     estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the
     financial statements and the accompanying notes.  Actual results could
     differ from these estimates.

     EARNINGS PER SHARE - In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
     issued statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings per
     share.  Statement 128 replaced the previously reported primary and fully
     diluted earnings per share with basic and diluted earnings per share.
     Unlike primary earnings per share, basic earnings per share excludes any
     dilutive effects of options, warrants and convertible securities.  Diluted
     earnings per share is very similar to the previously reported fully
     diluted earnings per share.  All earnings per share amounts for all
     periods have been presented, and where necessary, restated to conform to
     the Statement 128 requirements.


2.   INVENTORIES

     Inventories at March 31, 1998 and June 30, 1997 consist of the following:

3.   REPOSITIONING COSTS

     In connection with a major repositioning program approved by the Company's
     Board of Directors, certain reserves were established and charges recorded
     in the year ended June 30, 1996.  These charges were associated with a
     variety of repositioning actions and included severance, termination
     benefits and asset write-downs related to facility closures.  Reserves
     were also established for estimated increases in warranty (primarily
     related to the electronic ballast product line) and other costs.  Charges
     recorded in connection with these reserves and asset write-downs related
     primarily to the Lighting Products segment and aggregated $79,717.

     The net cash outlays related to those reserves for the third quarter of
     fiscal 1998 were $4,700 of which $700 related to warranty, and $4,000 in
     severance and termination benefits.  Through the first nine months of
     fiscal 1998, approximately $10,400 of net cash outlays have been expended
     against these reserves of which $2,800 related to warranty, $7,100 in
     severance and termination benefits and $500 in plant and other
     repositioning charges.  The Company does not anticipate total cash outlays
     associated with these reserves to exceed $20,000 in fiscal 1998.

4.   LONG TERM DEBT AND BANK BORROWING ARRANGEMENTS

     The Company has an agreement with a group of banks (Bank Loan Agreement)
     that have committed to lend up to $350,000 under a revolving loan facility
     through June, 2002.  Borrowings under the credit facility bear interest at
     the bank's prime lending rate or, at the Company's option, the London
     Interbank Offered Rate plus five-eighths percent.  These rates may be
     reduced or increased based upon the level of certain debt-to-cash flow
     ratios.

     In September, 1997, holders of the Company's 8% Convertible Subordinated
     Notes converted $39,590 face value of Notes into 2,471,898 shares of
     common stock as a result of a call of the Convertible Notes by the Company
     (representing the entire remaining balance of the Notes).

<PAGE>

5.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     The Company and certain of its subsidiaries have been named as defendants
     in a suit filed by Cooper Industries, Inc. ("Cooper"), alleging breach of
     the 1986 agreement by which the Company acquired certain businesses from
     Cooper.  At issue in the litigation is the question of which party has
     responsibility in connection with pending lawsuits (the "lawsuits")
     involving numerous plaintiffs who allege injurious exposure to asbestos
     contained in products manufactured by current or former subsidiaries and
     divisions of Cooper.  Cooper claims that the Company is obligated to
     defend and indemnify Cooper in connection with the lawsuits.  The Company
     has denied that it is obligated under the agreement to defend and
     indemnify Cooper in connection with the lawsuits, and has filed a
     counterclaim asserting that Cooper is obligated under the agreement to
     defend and indemnify the Company in connection with the lawsuits and that
     certain insurance coverage available to Cooper should be applied to the
     lawsuits.  The Company and Cooper are engaged in settlement discussions.

     In 1994, the Company sold the assets of one of its subsidiaries to Patriot
     Sensors and Controls ("Patriot") pursuant to an agreement which provides
     that the parties would share responsibility for most of the lawsuits over
     a five year period, with Patriot bearing full responsibility for the
     lawsuits thereafter.  Patriot has stated that it may be financially unable
     to perform its indemnification obligations with respect to the lawsuits.
     Patriot has filed a suit against the Company, alleging that the Company
     breached certain obligations concerning the costs of defending and
     settling some of the lawsuits.  The Company and Patriot are engaged in
     settlement discussions.

     Due to (i) the early stage of the Cooper litigation and the Patriot
     litigation, (ii) the potential that Patriot may or may not perform some or
     all of its indemnification obligations to the Company, and (iii) the
     ongoing review of strategies and defenses available to the Company in the
     lawsuits, it is difficult to predict the outcome of the foregoing legal
     proceedings.  However, management of the Company does not believe that the
     financial impact of the foregoing legal proceedings will be material.

ITEM 2

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

     THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 VS. 1997

     NET SALES AND GROSS PROFIT.

     MagneTek's net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 1998 were $303.2
     million, a .6% increase from the third quarter of fiscal 1997 at $301.4
     million.  Revenue comparisons continue to be impacted by deterioration of
     the lira and deutschmark versus the dollar.  Excluding the effect of
     currency translation, sales for the three months would have increased 2.2%
     from the year earlier third quarter.  Sales in the Lighting Products
     segment declined 4.8% due to reduced sales of magnetic and electronic
     fluorescent ballasts as well as foreign currency translation.  High
     intensity discharge (HID) ballast sales increased.  Motors and Controls
     segment sales increased 3.8%.  Generators, direct current motors and
     commercial fractional products improved over the prior year.  Residential
     fractional horsepower motor sales declined from the earlier three month
     period.  Net sales for the Power Supplies segment increased 5.8%.
     European sales of power supplies were adversely impacted by currency
     conversion (lira) to U.S. dollars.  Adjusting for currency differences,
     power supplies sales would have increased approximately 12%.

     The Company's gross profit decreased to $57.9 million (19.1% of net sales)
     in the third quarter of fiscal 1998 from $64.7 million (21.5% of net
     sales) in the third quarter of fiscal 1997.  Lighting Products gross
     profits declined as the combination of transition costs from its
     Mendenhall, Mississippi plant, start-up expense at its Mexican facilities
     and a competitive pricing environment contributed to lower gross profit
     levels.  Within Motors and Controls, overall gross profits were modestly
     down.  Although gross profit levels for drive products and generators
     increased, fractional and integral gross profits were reduced from the
     year earlier period.  Power supplies gross profits were negatively
     impacted by currency declines and start-up costs as additional capacity is
     being established in Huntsville, Alabama and lower cost Hungarian
     facilities.

     OPERATING EXPENSES.

     Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense was $37.6 million
     (12.4% of net sales) in the third quarter of fiscal 1998 versus $41.0
     million (13.6% of net sales) in the third quarter of fiscal 1997.  Versus
     the year earlier period, lower costs were incurred for stock price based
     compensation agreements, personnel procurement and relocation and
     advertising.

<PAGE>

     INTEREST AND OTHER EXPENSE.

     Interest expense of $3.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 1998
     compared to $7.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 1997.  The reduced
     expense reflects the elimination of the Company's 10-3/4% Senior
     Subordinated debt, the conversion to common stock of the 8% Convertible
     Debentures and moderately lower interest rates.  Other expense of $.6
     million in the third quarter of fiscal 1998 declined from $1.1 million in
     the third quarter of fiscal 1997 due to lower amortization of deferred
     financing costs.

     NET INCOME.

     The Company recorded an after-tax profit of $10.1 million in the third
     quarter of fiscal 1998 versus an after-tax profit of $9.0 million in the
     third quarter of fiscal 1997.  The tax provision in the third quarter of
     fiscal 1998 was $5.7 million (36% effective tax rate) compared to $6.4
     million (41% effective tax rate) in the third quarter of fiscal 1997.  The
     lower effective tax rate primarily reflects tax deductions associated with
     re-positioning reserves for which no tax benefit was previously recorded.
     The Company expects this lower rate to continue throughout the year.

ITEM 2

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

     NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 VS. 1997

     NET SALES AND GROSS PROFIT.

     Net sales for MagneTek for the first nine months of fiscal 1998 were
     $888.2 million, compared to $886.5 million of sales in the first nine
     months of fiscal 1997.  Sales in the Lighting Products segment declined
     6.9%.  Reduced revenues in magnetic and electronic ballasts were partially
     offset by increased sales in high intensity discharge ballasts.
     Competitive pricing and currency translation contributed to the decline.
     Motors & Controls segment sales increased 7.0%.  Generators, drives
     products, direct current motors, commercial fractional and integral motors
     improved.  Residential fractional horsepower motors declined moderately.
     Power Supplies segment sales declined 1.0% from the year earlier quarter.
     In the absence of foreign currency translation issues, revenues for the
     period increased 6.9%.

     Gross profits declined to $173.6 million (19.5% of net sales) in the first
     nine months of fiscal 1998, from $175.1 million (19.7% of net sales) in
     the first nine months of fiscal 1997.  Gross profit levels increased in
     the Motors and Controls segment due to increased generator, drives and
     direct current motor volume.  Fractional horsepower motor margins softened
     due to lower residential fractional horsepower sales and transition costs
     associated with continued migration of various motor products to Mexico.
     Lighting Products segment gross profits were lower than the year earlier
     period due to lower revenues, competitive price pressure and manufacturing
     consolidation related costs.  Gross profits for the Power Supplies segment
     were slightly unfavorable to the third quarter of fiscal 1997, due
     primarily to costs associated with product line relocations in North
     America.  European results while flat in dollar denominated results,
     reflect the negative impact of currency translation.

     OPERATING EXPENSES.

     Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense was $117.5 million
     (13.2% of net sales) in the first nine months of fiscal 1998 versus $117.7
     million (13.3% of net sales) in the first nine months of fiscal 1997.
     While overall spending for the first nine months was consistent with the
     year earlier period, investments in systems enhancements, quality programs
     and the Company's Asia / Pacific initiatives continue.  These expenses
     have been offset by lower costs in stock based compensation expense,
     pension costs and retiree welfare benefits.

     INTEREST AND OTHER EXPENSES.

     Interest expense was $12.5 million in the first nine months of fiscal 1998
     compared to $21.7 million in the first nine months of fiscal 1997.  The
     Company's earlier extinguishment of its Senior Subordinated debt in fiscal
     1997 and conversion of its Convertible Notes into equity in fiscal 1997
     and the first quarter of fiscal 1998 has substantially reduced interest
     expense.  Lower amortization of deferred financing resulted in other
     expense of $2.0 million in the first nine months of fiscal 1998 compared
     to $3.2 million incurred in the year earlier period.

     NET INCOME.

     The Company recorded an after-tax profit of $26.6 million in the first
     nine months of fiscal 1998 compared to an after-tax profit of $19.1
     million in the first nine months of fiscal 1997.  The tax provision in the
     first nine months of fiscal 1998 was $15.0 million (36% effective tax
     rate) versus $13.2 million (40.7% effective tax rate) in the year earlier
     period.  Lower tax rates reflect the tax deductions associated with
     repositioning revenues for which no tax benefit was previously recorded.
     The Company anticipates this tax rate to continue throughout the year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 1997, the Company amended its Bank Loan
Agreement to provide up to $350 million under a revolving loan facility through
June, 2002.  Currently, the credit facility bears interest at the bank's prime
lending rate or, at the London Interbank Offered rate plus five-eighths of one
percent.  As of March 31, 1998, the Company had approximately $140 million of
available borrowings under the Bank Loan Agreement.  At present, the Bank Loan
Agreement provides both short term working capital availability and longer term
financing needs for the Company.

In the second quarter of fiscal 1998, the Company sold its investment in Power
Integration through an initial public offering, receiving approximately $5.2
million of cash.
