                                MASCO CORPORATION
        NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

A.    In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed
      consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, of a normal
      recurring nature, necessary to present fairly its financial position as at
      June 30, 2005 and the results of operations for the three months and six
      months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 and changes in cash flows for the six
      months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004. The condensed consolidated balance
      sheet at December 31, 2004 was derived from audited financial statements.

      Certain prior-year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2005
      presentation in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The
      results of operations related to discontinued operations have been
      separately stated in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of
      income for 2005 and 2004. In the Company's condensed consolidated
      statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004,
      the cash flows of discontinued operations are not separately classified.

Note A - concluded:

      STOCK OPTIONS AND AWARDS. In December 2004, the Financial Accounting
      Standards Board ("FASB") issued a revision to Statement of Financial
      Accounting Standards No. 123 ("SFAS No. 123R"), "Accounting for
      Stock-Based Compensation," which supersedes Accounting Principles Board
      ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." SFAS
      No. 123R requires companies to measure and recognize the cost (fair value)
      of employee services received in exchange for stock options. SFAS No. 123R
      also clarifies and expands guidance in several areas including measuring
      fair value and classification of employee stock-based compensation,
      including stock options, restricted stock awards and stock appreciation
      rights. In April 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission amended the
      compliance dates for SFAS No. 123R and extended the implementation date to
      the beginning of a company's next fiscal year beginning after June 15,
      2005. Based on the amended compliance dates, the Company will adopt SFAS
      No. 123R effective January 1, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating
      which implementation method it will use and the impact the provisions of
      SFAS No. 123R will have on its consolidated financial statements. The
      Company has been using the fair value method for options granted, modified
      or settled subsequent to January 1, 2003. In the first half of 2005,
      4,113,040 option shares, including restoration option shares, were
      awarded. The following table illustrates the pro forma effect on net
      income and earnings per common share for the three months and six months
      ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, as if the fair value method were applied to
      all previously issued, outstanding and unvested stock options, in millions
      except per common share data:

  NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)

B.    In early 2005, in separate transactions, the Company disposed of its
      Gebhardt Consolidated and GMU Group businesses in Europe. Gebhardt
      Consolidated supplies ventilation products and GMU Group manufactures
      cabinets. Total gross proceeds from the sale of Gebhardt Consolidated and
      the GMU Group were $130 million; $89 million in cash proceeds was received
      during the first quarter of 2005 and the remaining $41 million was
      collected in early April 2005. The Company recognized a pre-tax net gain
      (included in discontinued operations) on the disposition of these
      businesses of $11 million, principally related to Gebhardt Consolidated.
      The assets and liabilities held for sale at December 31, 2004 of $163
      million and $44 million, respectively, have been included in the other
      assets and deferred income taxes and other captions on the condensed
      consolidated balance sheet. Net proceeds from the dispositions completed
      in 2005 and 2004 aggregated $281 million. In the second quarter of 2005,
      the Company recognized an additional $1 million of expenses, primarily
      related to professional fees incurred for the disposition of businesses,
      which was offset by income related to the adjustment of prior accruals for
      severance and termination benefits.

      Selected financial information for discontinued operations, during the
      period owned by the Company, is as follows for the three months and six
      months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, in millions:

                              =====        =====     =====      =====


      The unusual relationship between income tax benefit and income before
      income taxes (including the net gain on disposal of discontinued
      operations) in 2005 results from the gain requiring no current tax expense
      and the reversal of deferred tax liabilities of the discontinued
      operations which are no longer expected to be incurred. The after-tax
      charge for the impairment of assets held for sale of $120 million included
      $12 million for the expensing of deferred tax assets of the discontinued
      operations for the six months ended June 30, 2004.

Note E - concluded:

      The fair value of the Company's investments in temporarily-impaired
      marketable securities was $86 million; such investments have been in an
      unrealized loss position for less than twelve months at June 30, 2005.

      The Company had investments in over 30 different marketable securities at
      June 30, 2005. The Company reviews industry analyst reports, key ratios
      and statistics, market analyses and other factors for each investment to
      determine if an unrealized loss is other-than-temporary. The unrealized
      loss at June 30, 2005 is primarily related to one marketable security,
      Furniture Brands International (NYSE: FBN) common stock (four million
      shares). In the fourth quarter of 2004, the Company recognized an
      impairment charge of $21 million related to its investment in FBN and
      reduced the cost basis from $30.25 per share to $25.05 per share, the
      market value at December 31, 2004. Based on its review, the Company
      considers the unrealized loss at June 30, 2005, related to this
      investment, to be temporary.

      Income per common share amounts for the first two quarters of 2005 and
      2004 do not total to the per common share amounts for the six months ended
      June 30, 2005 and 2004 due to the timing of stock repurchases and the
      effect of contingently issuable shares.

      For both the three months and six months ended June 30, 2005, the Company
      did not include any common shares related to the Zero Coupon Convertible
      Senior Notes ("Notes") in the calculation of diluted earnings per common
      share, as the price of the Company's common stock at June 30, 2005 did not
      exceed the equivalent accreted value of the Notes.

  NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)

Note L - concluded:

      In the first half of 2005, the Company repurchased and retired
      approximately 18 million shares of Company common stock, for cash
      aggregating approximately $607 million. At June 30, 2005, the Company had
      approximately 42 million common shares remaining under the March 2005
      Board of Directors repurchase authorization.

      Additionally, 0.9 million and 0.7 million common shares for the three
      months and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, and 1.9 million
      and 2.9 million common shares for the three months and six months ended
      June 30, 2004, respectively, related to stock options were excluded from
      the computation of diluted earnings per common share due to their
      antidilutive effect, since the option exercise price was greater than the
      Company's average common stock price for these periods.

M.    LITIGATION. The Company is subject to lawsuits and pending or asserted
      claims with respect to matters generally arising in the ordinary course of
      business.

      As the Company reported in previous filings, late in the second half of
      2002, the Company and its subsidiary, Behr Process Corporation, agreed to
      two Settlements (the National Settlement and the Washington State
      Settlement) to resolve all class action lawsuits pending in the United
      States involving certain exterior wood coating products formerly
      manufactured by Behr Process Corporation.

      The following is a reconciliation of the Company's Behr Process Settlement
      liability, in millions:
      
                                       
      Balance at January 1, 2005          $ 19
      Payments on claims                    (9)
      Reduction for liabilities paid
      by insurance carriers                 (5)
                                          ----
         Balance at June 30, 2005         $  5
                                          ====


      The Company expects that the evaluation, processing and payment of claims
      for both the National Settlement and the Washington State Settlement
      should be completed by December 31, 2005.

      As previously disclosed, several lawsuits have been brought against the
      Company and a number of its insulation installation companies in the
      federal court in Atlanta, Georgia, alleging that certain practices violate
      provisions of federal and state antitrust laws. The Company believes that
      the conduct of the Company and its insulation installation companies,
      which have been the subject of these lawsuits, has not violated any
      antitrust laws.

      As previously disclosed, European governmental authorities are
      investigating possible anticompetitive business practices relating to the
      plumbing and heating industries in Europe. The investigations involve a
      number of European companies, including certain of the Company's European
      manufacturing divisions and a number of other large businesses. In
      addition, several private antitrust lawsuits have been filed in the United
      States against, among others, the Company and several other companies that
      are being investigated, which appear to be an outgrowth of the European
      investigations. The Company believes that it will not incur material
      liability as a result of the matters that are subject to these
      investigations or as a result of any such lawsuits.

      STOCK PRICE GUARANTEES. In May 2005, the Company settled the guarantee
      related to the value of 1.6 million shares of Company common stock for a
      stock price of $40 per share related to a 2001 divestiture. The guarantee
      was settled for cash and stock aggregating approximately $12 million. At
      June 30, 2005, there were no outstanding stock price guarantees.

N.    In June 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, "Accounting Changes and Error
      Corrections - a Replacement to APB Opinion No. 20 and SFAS No. 3." SFAS
      No. 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods' financial
      statements of a voluntary change in accounting principle, unless it is
      impracticable. Previously, most voluntary changes in accounting principle
      were recognized by including the cumulative effect of changing to the new
      accounting principle in net income of the period of the change. The
      adoption of SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and error
      corrections subsequent to December 31, 2005, and is not expected to have a
      material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

O.    In July 2005, the Company's key employees who participated in the
      Executive Stock Purchase Program settled their outstanding five-year full
      recourse personal loans with a bank syndicate. The Company had guaranteed
      the repayment of the loans; however, all such loans were settled with no
      requirement for the Company to fulfill such guarantees.

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

      The Company reports its financial results in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the United States. However, the
Company believes that certain non-GAAP performance measures and ratios, used in
managing the business, may provide users of this financial information with
additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results in prior
periods. Non-GAAP financial measures and ratios should be viewed in addition to,
and not as an alternative for, the Company's reported results.

                                    NET SALES

      Net sales increased nine percent and eight percent, respectively, for the
three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005 from the comparable
periods in 2004. Excluding results from acquisitions, net sales increased nine
percent and seven percent, respectively, (including a one percent increase in
both periods relating to the effect of currency translation) for the three-month
and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005. The following table reconciles
reported net sales to net sales, excluding acquisitions and the effect of
currency translation, in millions:

      Net sales of Cabinets and Related Products increased 13 percent and 10
percent, respectively, in the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30,
2005 compared with the same periods of 2004, primarily due to increased sales
volume in the new construction market.

      Net sales of Plumbing Products increased five percent and four percent,
respectively, in the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005
compared with the same periods of 2004, principally due to the favorable impact
of a weaker U.S. dollar as well as increased sales through the Company's
wholesale distribution channel. Such sales increases were offset by a less
favorable product mix and by continuing weakness impacting certain products sold
through retail markets.

      Net sales of Installation and Other Services increased 11 percent in both
the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005 compared with the same
periods of 2004, primarily due to increased selling prices as well as increased
sales volume of non-insulation products and continued increases in new
construction markets.

      Net sales of Decorative Architectural Products increased 12 percent and
seven percent, respectively, in the three-month and six-month periods ended June
30, 2005 compared with the same periods of 2004, primarily due to increased
selling prices and increased sales volume in the second quarter for paints and
stains.

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

      Net sales of Other Specialty Products increased four percent and five
percent, respectively, in the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30,
2005 compared with the same periods of 2004, primarily due to an increase in
sales volume of vinyl and fiberglass windows and doors to North American new
construction markets. Such sales increases were offset, in part, by reduced
sales of European operations included in this segment.

      Net sales from North American operations for the three-month and six-month
periods ended June 30, 2005 increased 10 percent and eight percent,
respectively, compared with the same periods of 2004, primarily due to the
reasons discussed above. Net sales from International operations for both the
three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005 increased six percent
compared with the same periods of 2004, primarily due to increased sales of
cabinets and plumbing products, as well as a weaker U.S. dollar, principally
against the Euro, which increased International sales by approximately four
percent for both the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005.

                                OPERATING MARGINS

      The Company's gross profit margins were 29.4 percent and 28.9 percent,
respectively, for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005
compared with 31.8 percent and 31.1 percent, respectively, for the comparable
periods in 2004. The decrease in gross profit margins reflects increased
commodity, energy and freight costs, as well as a less favorable product mix,
offset, in part, by increased sales volume. Operating profit for the three-month
and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005 includes $3 million and $5 million,
respectively, of income regarding the Behr litigation settlement. Operating
profit for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2004 includes $7
million and $28 million of income regarding the Behr litigation settlement.

      Operating profit margins for the Cabinets and Related Products segment for
the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005 were 16.0 percent and
15.4 percent, respectively, compared with 17.2 percent and 15.6 percent,
respectively, for the same periods of 2004, and reflect the impact of increased
commodity and freight costs, as well as a shift to a less favorable product mix,
which offset the positive impact of higher sales volume.

      Operating profit margins for the Plumbing Products segment were 13.1
percent and 11.8 percent, respectively, for the three-month and six-month
periods ended June 30, 2005 compared with 14.9 percent and 14.0 percent,
respectively, for the same periods of 2004, primarily due to a less favorable
product mix, as well as increased commodity costs and lower results of European
operations included in this segment.

      Operating profit margins for the Installation and Other Services segment
were 13.4 percent and 12.5 percent, respectively, for the three-month and
six-month periods ended June 30, 2005 compared with 12.8 percent for both of the
comparable periods of 2004. The operating profit margin increase in this segment
is primarily attributable to increased selling prices that were realized in the
first half of 2005, as well as the favorable impact of higher sales volume.

      Within the Installation and Other Services segment, the availability of
fiberglass insulation to support the Company's installation and distribution
activities continues to be constrained. The high level of demand for fiberglass
insulation as a result of the strong new construction market has outpaced the
industry's capacity to produce additional product. While improving, the Company
believes that these conditions will persist over the remainder of 2005 and is
working with its diverse supplier base to secure as much material as possible.
At the current time, the Company does not believe that this material shortage
will have a significant impact on its operations.

                                MASCO CORPORATION

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

      Operating profit margins for the Decorative Architectural Products segment
were 19.0 percent and 17.7 percent, respectively, for the three-month and
six-month periods ended June 30, 2005 compared with 22.4 percent and 20.1
percent, respectively, for the same periods of 2004. The operating profit margin
decline is primarily due to increased material costs offset, in part, by
increased selling prices and sales volume of paints and stains.

      Operating profit margins for the Other Specialty Products segment were
19.2 percent and 17.1 percent, respectively, for the three-month and six-month
periods ended June 30, 2005 compared with 20.8 percent and 18.4 percent,
respectively, for the same periods of 2004. The operating profit margin decline
is primarily attributable to increased commodity costs and lower results of
European operations included in this segment.

      The Company's operating profit margins, as reported, were 14.1 percent and
12.9 percent, respectively, for the three-month and six-month periods ended June
30, 2005 compared with 15.6 percent and 14.7 percent, respectively, for the same
periods of 2004. The Company's operating profit margins, excluding the Behr
litigation income of $3 million and $5 million for the three-month and six-month
periods ended June 30, 2005, respectively, and $7 million and $28 million for
the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2004, respectively, were
14.0 percent and 12.8 percent for the three-month and six-month periods ended
June 30, 2005, respectively, and 15.4 percent and 14.2 percent for the
three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2004, respectively. The
Company's operating profit margins decreased for the three-month and six-month
periods ended June 30, 2005 compared with the same periods of 2004, principally
due to the reasons discussed above.

                           OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE), NET

      Other, net, for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005
includes $(2) million and $24 million, respectively, of realized (losses) gains,
net, from the sale of marketable securities, dividend income of $4 million and
$8 million, respectively, and $30 million and $45 million, respectively, of
income from other investments, net. Other items, net for the three-month and
six-month periods ended June 30, 2005 include $14 million and $27 million,
respectively, of currency transaction losses.

      Other, net, for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2004
includes $9 million and $25 million, respectively, of realized gains, net, from
the sale of marketable securities, dividend income of $7 million and $14
million, respectively, and $5 million and $18 million, respectively, of income
from other investments, net. Other items, net for the three-month and six-month
periods ended June 30, 2004 include $6 million and $12 million, respectively, of
currency transaction gains. Other items, net for the three-month and six-month
periods ended June 30, 2004 also include a $5 million gain from the sale of
non-operating assets.

      Interest expense for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30,
2005 increased $5 million and $11 million, respectively, to $57 million and $116
million, compared with interest expense of $52 million and $105 million,
respectively, for the same periods of 2004, primarily due to the impact of
increasing interest rates.

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

         INCOME AND EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS

      Income from continuing operations for the three-month and six-month
periods ended June 30, 2005 was $274 million and $486 million, respectively,
compared with $294 million and $535 million, respectively, for the comparable
periods of 2004. Diluted earnings per common share from continuing operations
for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005 were $.64 and
$1.11 per common share, respectively, compared with $.65 and $1.16 per common
share, respectively, for the comparable periods of 2004. The Company's effective
tax rate was 35.4 percent and 34.1 percent, respectively, for the three-month
and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005, compared with 35.8 percent and 36.0
percent, respectively, for the same periods in 2004. The Company estimates that
its effective tax rate should approximate 35 percent for the full year 2005.

                           OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION

      The Company's current ratio was 1.6 to 1 and 2.1 to 1 at June 30, 2005 and
December 31, 2004, respectively. The decline in the current ratio is
primarily due to the reclassification to current liabilities of $800 million of
6.75% notes that will become due and payable on March 15, 2006. On June 10,
2005, the Company issued $500 million of fixed-rate 4.80% notes due 2015,
resulting in net proceeds of $494 million.

      For the six months ended June 30, 2005, cash of $419 million was provided
by operating activities. Cash used for financing activities was $291 million,
including $167 million for cash dividends paid and $607 million for the
acquisition and retirement of Company common stock in open-market transactions.
Cash provided by financing activities included $494 million from the issuance of
notes (net of issuance costs) and $24 million from the issuance of Company
common stock for the exercise of stock options. Cash provided by investing
activities was $108 million and primarily included $117 million from the net
sales of marketable securities and other investments and $103 million of net
proceeds from the disposition of businesses. Cash used for investing activities
primarily included $126 million for capital expenditures.

      Note M to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements discusses
specific claims pending against the Company. The Company is also subject to
lawsuits and claims pending or asserted with respect to matters generally
arising in the ordinary course of business.

      The Company believes that its present cash balance, its cash flows from
operations and, to the extent necessary, bank borrowings and future financial
market activities, are sufficient to fund its working capital and other
investment needs.

                             OUTLOOK FOR THE COMPANY

      The Company's 2005 first half results were adversely affected by increases
in commodity, energy and freight costs, which have not been offset due, in part,
to the lag in implementing selling price increases to customers, as well as a
less favorable product mix. Second quarter 2005 sales and earnings, however,
were better-than-expected, due to the strong new construction market as well as
an improvement in key retailer sales.

      The Company is committed to its strategy of value creation and continues
to be focused on the simplification of its business model, cash flow generation,
improvement in return on invested capital and the return of cash to shareholders
through share repurchases and dividends.

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

      Consistent with this strategy, the Company is pursuing a variety of
initiatives to offset cost increases and increase operating profit including
sourcing programs, the restructuring of certain of its businesses (including
consolidations), manufacturing rationalization, headcount reductions and other
profit improvement programs. As previously disclosed, the Company believes these
initiatives will reduce annual costs by $200 million by the end of 2007. Costs
and charges related to the acceleration of these profit improvement programs,
when combined with recent additional energy-related and commodity cost increases
and the adverse effect of changes in currency values, are expected to negatively
affect the Company's full-year 2005 earnings from continuing operations.
Implementing these initiatives should improve the Company's earnings outlook for
2006 and beyond.

ITEM 4.                     CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

      a.    Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

            The Company's principal executive officer and principal financial
            officer have concluded, based on the evaluation required by
            paragraph (b) of Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of
            1934, of the Company's "disclosure controls and procedures" (as
            defined in paragraph (e) of Rule 13a-15), that, as of June 30, 2005,
            the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

      b.    Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

            In connection with the evaluation, required by paragraph (d) of Rule
            13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, of the Company's
            "internal control over financial reporting" (as defined in paragraph
            (f) of Rule 13a-15), there was no change in the Company's internal
            control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30,
            2005, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
            materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial
            reporting.
