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 periods ended September 30, 1998
     and 1997 each contained thirteen weeks.

     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

3.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     In December, 1996 the Company and certain of its subsidiaries were named as
     defendants in a suit filed by Cooper Industries, Inc. ("Cooper") in the
     U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas, 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 "asbestos
     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 asbestos
     lawsuits.  The Company has denied that it is obligated under the agreement
     to defend and indemnify Cooper in connection with the asbestos lawsuits,
     and has filed a counterclaim asserting that Cooper is obligated under the
     agreement to defend and indemnify the Company in connection with the
     asbestos lawsuits and that certain insurance coverage available to Cooper
     should be applied to the asbestos lawsuits.  The Company and Cooper have
     engaged in settlement discussions.  In July 1998, the Court granted partial
     summary judgement in favor of the Company, ruling that the Company has no
     obligation to indemnify Cooper in connection with the asbestos lawsuits.
     Management of the Company does not believe that the financial impact of the
     foregoing legal proceeding will be material.

     In April 1998, Ole K. Nilssen filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court
     for the Northern District of Illinois alleging the Company is infringing on
     seven of his patents pertaining to electronic ballast technology.  The
     plaintiff seeks an unspecified amount of damages and an injunction to
     preclude the Company from making, using or selling those products allegedly
     infringing his patents.  The Company denies that it has infringed, or is
     infringing, any of the plaintiff's patents, and has asserted several
     affirmative defenses.  The Company also filed a counterclaim seeking
     judicial declaration that it is not infringing (and has not infringed) the
     patents asserted by the plaintiff, and that such asserted patents are
     invalid.  The Company intends to defend this matter vigorously.  Due to the
     early state of the litigation, it is difficult to predict the outcome of
     the foregoing legal proceeding.  However, management of the Company does
     not believe that the financial impact of such litigation will be material.

4.   OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

     The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
     No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income," as of the first quarter of fiscal
     1999.  SFAS No. 130 establishes new rules for the reporting and display of
     comprehensive income and its components, however it has no impact on the
     Company's net income or stockholders' equity.  SFAS 130 requires foreign
     currency translation adjustments, which, prior to adoption were reported
     separately in stockholders equity, to be included in other comprehensive
     income.  Prior year financial statements have been restated to conform to
     the requirements of SFAS 130.

     During the first quarter of fiscal 1999 and 1998, total comprehensive
     income was $12,276 and $7,362 respectively.

ITEM 2

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

     THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 VS. 1997

     NET SALES AND GROSS PROFIT.

     MagneTek's net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 1999 were $289.8
     million, a 1.2% increase from the first quarter of fiscal 1998 at $286.5
     million.  Sales in the Motors and Controls segment increased 1.1% due to
     improved demand for commercial fractional and integral horsepower products
     and generators offset by generally lower sales in the drives business.
     Sales in the Lighting Products segment declined 2.2% due to lower sales of
     magnetic and electronic fluorescent ballasts partially offset by higher
     sales of high intensity discharge and compact fluorescent ballasts. Power
     Supplies segment sales increased 10.7%, due primarily to the acquisition of
     Omega Power Systems in June of 1998.  Excluding the results of Omega, sales
     for the Power Supplies segment increased 1.6%.

     The Company's gross profit decreased to $55.3 million (19.1% of net sales)
     in the first quarter of fiscal 1999 from $57.5 million (20.1% of net sales)
     in the first quarter of fiscal 1998.  The gross profit decline was
     primarily focused in the Power Supplies segment.  Sales and production
     volume reductions for European and domestic power supplies adversely
     affected margin performance. The Lighting Products segment had increased
     gross margins on lower sales, due to earlier consolidation efforts and
     transition of manufacturing capability to lower cost facilities.  The
     Motors and Controls segment had flat margin performance for motor and
     generator products and lower gross margins for drives.

     OPERATING EXPENSES.

     Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense was $36.5 million (12.6%
     of net sales) in the first quarter of fiscal 1999 compared to $40.2 million
     (14.0% of net sales) in the first quarter of fiscal 1998.  Lower spending
     occurred primarily in the general and administrative area as a result of
     lower employee benefits, recruitment and relocation expenditures.

     INTEREST AND OTHER EXPENSE.

     Interest expense of $4.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1999 was
     consistent with the expense incurred in the first quarter of fiscal 1998.
     Interest expense from higher debt levels in fiscal 1999, impacted by the
     funding of the Omega acquisition and higher working capital balances, was
     offset by the elimination of interest expense on convertible debentures.

<PAGE>

     NET INCOME.

     The Company recorded an after-tax profit of $9.0 million in the first
     quarter of fiscal 1999 compared to an after-tax profit of $7.5 million in
     the first quarter of fiscal 1998.  The tax provision in the first quarter
     of fiscal 1999 was $4.2 million (32% effective tax rate) versus $4.2
     million in the first quarter of fiscal 1998 (36% effective tax rate).  The
     lower provision for taxes reflects the Company's projected lower deferred
     tax asset valuation requirement and a reduction in certain foreign tax
     rates.  The Company expects this lower overall rate to continue throughout
     the year.

     LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company has a Bank Loan Agreement which provides for borrowings of up
     to $350 million under a revolving loan facility through June, 2002.
     Borrowings under the facility bear interest at the bank's prime lending
     rate or, at the London Interbank Offered rate plus five-eighths of one
     percent.  As of September 30, 1998, the Company had approximately $82
     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.  The
     Company's Board of Directors has approved the repurchase of up to two
     million shares of its common stock.  In the first quarter of fiscal 1999,
     the Company repurchased 427,000 shares for approximately $5 million through
     open market transactions.

     IMPACT OF YEAR 2000

     As previously reported in the 1998 Annual Report, the Company initiated in
     fiscal 1997 a comprehensive systems review, which resulted in the purchase
     of an Oracle "Enterprise Resource Planning" software package.  While the
     primary purpose of the software was to improve business processes, it also
     enables the Company to resolve Year 2000 issues.  Through the first quarter
     of fiscal 1999, the Company has completed approximately 60% of its system
     conversion.  The Company currently expects to complete conversion of all
     software to eliminate Year 2000 problems by early in the second half of
     calendar 1999.  Total costs of the project are anticipated at approximately
     $16 million of which $11 million has been spent through the first quarter
     of fiscal 1999.  Management believes that the likelihood of a material
     adverse impact due to problems with internal systems is remote.

<PAGE>

     The Company has also initiated an evaluation of other potential areas which
     could be impacted by the Year 2000 issue.  The Company has, and continues
     to contact critical suppliers to determine that the products and services
     they provide are Year 2000 compliant.  These external vendor products and
     systems are expected to function properly in the Year 2000.
     Notwithstanding those efforts, there can be no assurance that another
     company's failure to ensure Year 2000 capability would not have an adverse
     effect on the Company.

     The Company will conduct periodic reviews to monitor implementation plans
     associated with the Year 2000 problem.  In the event these reviews would
     indicate the Company's implementation dates are at risk, contingency plans
     will be established.
