                                 INTRODUCTION

   
      This Amendment No. 2 to the Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement (the
"Statement") amends and supplements the Schedule 13E-3 of Mafco
Consolidated Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Parent"), Mafco
Consolidated Group Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), MCG
Acquisition Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Purchaser") and Ronald O.
Perelman for the purpose of reporting the results of the Rule 13e-3
transaction.

      The Statement relates to the merger (the "Merger") of the Purchaser
with and into the Company. The Merger was consummated on July 9, 1997, and
each share of the Company's common stock, par value $.01 per share
(collectively, the "Shares"), outstanding immediately prior to the time
when the Merger became effective (which occurred when the Certificate of
Merger was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware),
other than Shares held by the Company, Parent, the Purchaser or any other
subsidiary of Parent (which were cancelled), were converted into the right
to receive $33.50 in cash, without interest.

      This Statement is being filed jointly by the Company, Parent, the
Purchaser and Ronald O. Perelman. By filing this Schedule 13E-3, none of
the joint signatories concedes that Rule 13e-3 under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, was applicable to the Merger or the other
transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of
February 20, 1997, by and among the Company, Parent and the Purchaser.

      The cross-reference sheet below is being supplied pursuant to General
Instruction F to Schedule 13E-3 and shows the location in the Company's
definitive information statement (the "Information Statement"), filed on
June 10, 1997, with the Securities and Exchange Commission, of the
information required to be included in response to the items of this
Statement. A copy of the Information Statement, including all exhibits and
annexes thereto, is attached hereto as exhibit (d)(1) and is hereby
expressly incorporated herein by reference, and the responses to each item
in this Statement are qualified in their entirety by the information
contained in the Information Statement.
