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
March 31, 2005 and the results of operations and changes in cash flows for
the three months ended March 31, 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 the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004. In the
Company's condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three
months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, the cash flows of discontinued
operations are not separately classified.

Note A - concluded:
STOCK OPTIONS AND AWARDS. In December 2004, the FASB issued a revision to
SFAS No. 123 ("SFAS No. 123R"), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,"
which supersedes Accounting Principles Bulletin ("APB") 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 quarter of 2005,
86,600 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 ended March 31, 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

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 $282 million.
Selected financial information for discontinued operations, during the
period owned by the Company, is as follows for the three months ended
March 31, 2005 and 2004, in millions:

==== ====
The unusual relationship between income tax benefit and income (loss)
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 in the first quarter of
2004 was $76 million and included $12 million for the expensing of
deferred tax assets of the discontinued operations.
C. The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the quarter ended March

Other indefinite-lived intangible assets include registered trademarks of
$254 million at March 31, 2005. The carrying value of the Company's
definite-lived intangible assets is $67 million at March 31, 2005 (net of
accumulated amortization of $69 million) and principally includes customer
relationships and non-compete agreements.
D. Depreciation and amortization expense is $62 million and $59 million for
the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
E. The Company maintains investments in marketable securities and a number of
private equity funds, principally as part of its tax planning strategies,

---------- ---------- ---------- --------
March 31, 2005 $193 $ 7 $ (15) $ 185
December 31, 2004 $227 $36 $ -- $ 263
The fair value of the Company's investments in temporarily-impaired
marketable securities was $109 million; such investments have been in an
unrealized loss position for less than twelve months at March 31, 2005.
The Company has investments in 50 different marketable securities at March
31, 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 March 31, 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 March 31, 2005, related to this
investment, to be temporary.

H. The Company's effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2005
was 32.4 percent compared with 36.3 percent for the same period in 2004.
The decrease in the tax rate for the first quarter of 2005 compared to the
first quarter of 2004 is principally due to the adjustment of estimated
tax accruals, principally for actual tax results related to International
operations. The Company estimates that its effective tax rate for the
full-year 2005 should approximate 35 percent.

At March 31, 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 March 31, 2005 did not exceed the equivalent accreted value of
the Notes.
Additionally, .4 million common shares and 3.1 million common shares for
the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, related to
stock options were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per
common share due to their anti-dilutive effect, since the option exercise
price for those shares was greater than the Company's average common stock
price during such periods.
In the first quarter of 2005, the Company repurchased and retired
approximately 13 million shares of Company common stock, for cash
aggregating approximately $465 million. At March 31, 2005, the Company has
approximately 47 million common shares remaining under the March 2005
Board of Directors repurchase authorization.

M. 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

==== ====
The Company expects that the evaluation, processing and payment of claims
for both the Washington State Settlement and the National Settlement
should be completed by June 30, 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 the Company and several other companies that are being
investigated, which appears 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.

MASCO CORPORATION
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 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 increased six percent
from the comparable period in 2004. Excluding results from acquisitions, net
sales also increased six percent (including a one percent increase relating to
the effect of currency translation). 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 eight percent in the
first quarter of 2005 compared with 2004, primarily due to increased sales
volume in the new construction markets as well as certain selling price
increases. The results of this segment were negatively affected by
lower-than-expected consumer spending impacting certain products sold through
retail markets.
Net sales of Plumbing Products increased three percent in the first
quarter of 2005 compared with 2004, primarily due to the favorable impact of a
weaker U.S. dollar which increased International net sales included in this
segment as well as increased sales through the Company's wholesale distribution
channel. Such increases principally offset sales declines in this segment due to
lower-than-expected consumer spending impacting certain products sold through
retail markets.
Net sales of Installation and Other Services increased 10 percent in the
first quarter of 2005 compared with 2004, primarily due to selling price
increases, increased sales volume of non-insulation products and a continued
strong new-housing market.
Net sales of Decorative Architectural Products were flat in the first
quarter of 2005 compared with 2004, primarily due to lower-than-expected
consumer spending impacting certain products sold through retail markets.
Net sales of Other Specialty Products increased seven percent in the first
quarter of 2005 compared with 2004, primarily due to an increase in the sales
volume of doors and windows to North American new construction markets.

MASCO CORPORATION
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net sales from North American and International operations for the first
quarter of 2005 increased six percent and five percent, respectively, compared
with the first quarter of 2004. North American sales were positively affected by
increased sales volume of assembled cabinets, doors and windows and installation
sales. Such increases principally offset sales declines due to
lower-than-expected consumer spending impacting certain products sold through
retail markets. In the first quarter of 2005, International sales continued to
be positively affected by a weaker U.S. dollar, principally against the Euro,
which increased International net sales by four percent.
OPERATING MARGINS
The Company's gross profit margins were 28.3 percent for the first quarter
of 2005 compared with 30.3 percent for the comparable period in 2004. Selling,
general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales were 16.8 percent
for the first quarter of 2005 and 17.3 percent for the comparable period of the
prior year. Operating profit in the first quarters of 2005 and 2004 also
benefited from $2 million and $21 million, respectively, of income regarding the
Behr litigation settlement. First quarter 2005 results were adversely affected
by lower-than-expected consumer spending impacting certain of the Company's
products sold through retail markets, product mix, as well as recent increases
in commodity, energy and freight costs, much of which have not yet been
recovered due to the lag in implementing selling price increases to customers.
Operating profit margins for the Cabinets and Related Products segment for
the first quarter of 2005 were 14.8 percent compared with 14.0 percent in the
first quarter of 2004, and reflect the positive impact of increased sales volume
and selling prices as well as operational improvements made throughout 2004.
Operating profit margins for the Plumbing Products segment were 10.4
percent in the first quarter of 2005 compared with 13.0 percent in the first
quarter of 2004, primarily due to relatively higher International sales with
lower margins, increased commodity costs and a product mix shift to lower-margin
products in North America.
Operating profit margins for the Installation and Other Services segment
were 11.5 percent in the first quarter of 2005 compared with 12.9 percent in the
first quarter of 2004. The operating profit margin decline in this segment is
primarily attributable to material cost increases as well as increased sales and
installation of generally lower-margin, non-insulation products.
Within the Installation and Other Services segment, the availability of
fiberglass insulation to support the Company's installation and distribution
activities was constrained during 2004 and this situation has continued into
2005. The high level of demand for fiberglass insulation, as a result of the
continued strength of the new residential construction market, has outpaced the
industry's capacity to produce additional product. The Company believes that
these conditions will persist and is working with its diverse supplier base to
secure the appropriate amount of material. At the current time, the Company
believes that it will be able to do so, but if the Company cannot obtain the
required amount of material, this could have a negative impact on its
operations.
Operating profit margins for the Decorative Architectural Products segment
were 15.9 percent for the first quarter of 2005 compared with 17.3 percent in
the first quarter of 2004. The decline in operating margin is primarily due to
increased material costs as well as lower-than-expected sales volumes of paints
and stains.

MASCO CORPORATION
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Operating profit margins for the Other Specialty Products segment were
14.7 percent in the first quarter of 2005 compared with 15.6 percent in the
first quarter of 2004 and reflect increased commodity costs and lower results of
the European operations included in this segment.
The Company's operating profit margins, as reported, were 11.6 percent for
the first quarter of 2005 compared with 13.8 percent for the first quarter of
2004. Excluding the income regarding litigation settlement of $2 million and $21
million in 2005 and 2004, respectively, operating profit margins were 11.5
percent for the first quarter of 2005 compared with 13.0 percent for the first
quarter of 2004.
OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE), NET
Other, net, for the first quarter of 2005 includes $26 million of net
realized gains from the sale of marketable securities, dividend income of $4
million and $15 million of income, net, regarding other investments. Other, net,
also includes currency translation losses of $13 million for the first quarter
of 2005.
Other, net, for the first quarter of 2004 includes $16 million of net
realized gains from the sale of marketable securities, dividend income of $7
million and $13 million of income, net regarding other investments. Other, net,
also includes currency translation gains of $6 million for the first quarter of
2004.
Interest expense for the first quarter of 2005 increased $6 million to $59
million compared with $53 million in the first quarter of 2004, primarily due to
the effect of increasing interest rates.
INCOME AND EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS
Income and diluted earnings per common share from continuing operations
for the first quarter of 2005 were $212 million and $.48 per common share
compared with $241 million and $.52 per common share for the comparable period
of 2004. The Company's effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31,
2005 was 32.4 percent compared with 36.3 percent for the same period in 2004.
The decrease in the tax rate for the first quarter of 2005 compared to the first
quarter of 2004 is principally due to the adjustment of estimated tax accruals,
principally for actual tax results related to International operations. The
Company estimates that its effective tax rate for the full-year 2005 should
approximate 35 percent.
OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The Company's current ratio was 1.4 to 1 and 2.1 to 1 at March 31, 2005
and December 31, 2004, respectively, due to the reclassification of $800 million
of 6.75% notes that will become due and payable on March 15, 2006.
For the three months ended March 31, 2005, cash of $119 million was
provided by operating activities. Cash used for financing activities was $562
million, including $80 million for cash dividends paid, $465 million for the
acquisition and retirement of Company common stock in open-market transactions
and $27 million for the net payment of debt. Cash provided by financing
activities includes $10 million from the issuance of Company common stock,
primarily for the exercise of stock options. Net cash provided by investing
activities was $83 million, primarily including $63 million of net proceeds from
the disposition of businesses and $69 million from the net sale of financial
investments. Cash used for investing activities also includes $58 million for
capital expenditures.
15
MASCO CORPORATION
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
First quarter 2005 cash from operations was affected by an expected and
annually recurring first quarter increase in accounts receivable compared with
December 31, 2004.
The Company is subject to lawsuits and claims pending or asserted with
respect to matters generally arising in the ordinary course of business. Note M
to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements discusses specific claims
pending against the Company.
The Company believes that its present cash balance, 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 experienced significant commodity cost increases during 2004,
which reduced gross margins. Higher commodity costs experienced in 2004 have
continued into 2005 and have impacted 2005 first quarter results. The Company
has already implemented and continues to implement additional selling price
increases on a number of its products, and believes that by the second half of
2005, many of these commodity cost increases should be largely offset by such
price increases.
The Company believes that the impact of the delay in offsetting these
recent cost increases with increased selling prices, and the shortage of certain
materials will negatively impact earnings in the first half of 2005. This impact
has been reflected in the Company's guidance.
The Company continues to believe that it will achieve further organic
sales growth in 2005, and, based on current business trends, believes that it
will achieve mid-single-digit organic growth in 2005 despite being negatively
affected by a slowdown in its retail markets.
The Company expects its 2005 results to be impacted by share repurchases
(13 million common shares repurchased in the first quarter of 2005), modest
margin improvement in the second half of the year reflecting selling price
increases and anticipated income from the sale of financial investments.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain sections of this Quarterly Report contain statements reflecting
the Company's views about its future performance and constitute "forward-looking
statements" under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These

discussed in such forward-looking statements. Readers should consider that
various factors, including changes in general economic conditions, competitive
market conditions and pricing pressures, relationships with key customers,
industry consolidation of retailers, wholesalers and builders, shifts in
distribution, the influence of e-commerce and other factors discussed in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K and its other filings with the Securities
and Exchange Commission, may affect the Company's performance. The Company
undertakes no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements as a
result of new information, future events or otherwise.

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 an evaluation of the Company's "disclosure
controls and procedures" (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e)), as required by paragraph (b) of
Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15, that, as of March 31, 2005, the
Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective and designed
to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the
reports it files under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized
and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and
Exchange Commission's rules and forms.
b. Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
In connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange
Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 that occurred during the Company's last fiscal
quarter, management identified a change in internal control over financial
reporting that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to
materially affect internal control over financial reporting.
A material weakness was disclosed in the Company's 2004 Annual Report on
Form 10-K. The material weakness originated when, during the integration
of two business units, the Company had not maintained effective controls
over the conversion of certain accounting functions.
In the 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K we identified various steps that
had been or were in the process of being taken with respect to the
previously disclosed material weakness. As a result of the steps that have
been taken, we have remediated this material weakness. The steps we have
taken and additional steps we are also taking to improve internal controls
with respect to this business unit are:
- All significant accounts impacted by the control lapse have been
properly reconciled.
- The unvouchered payables account is being manually monitored, and
timely adjustments are being made on a monthly basis. In addition, an
information systems consultant has been retained to address technical
information systems issues to enable systematic and timely
reconciliation of unvouchered payables. Upon implementation, this
solution will replace the current manual process.
- A number of the staff training and process improvement initiatives at
the business unit that had been identified have been implemented and
the remaining initiatives are in the process of being implemented.
These initiatives generally are intended to streamline and standardize
processing of accounts payable.
- Business unit management has filled one of three identified financial
management positions and is actively recruiting for the other two
positions.
- Group controller monitoring activities have been expanded to include
the performance of extended review procedures over key account
reconciliations and significant journal entries on a quarterly basis.
This review was completed for the first fiscal quarter of 2005.
- The group president has expanded and reinforced the need for timeliness
and transparency of communication around significant financial and
business matters between the business unit and group oversight
management.

MASCO CORPORATION
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
- The Company is in the process of extending the risk management
framework of its information technology risk management program to
major business change initiatives (such as business integrations) at
all of the Company's business units. In addition, as part of the
Company's actions to improve controls over significant change
initiatives at all business units, management implemented during the
first quarter a process to identify planned and actual significant
business changes, a screening process to evaluate their risk, and a
review process to evaluate control design associated with the change.
The subject business unit was included in the changes implemented
during the first quarter and will be included as the risk management
framework is implemented throughout the Company.
We believe that the controls as modified are appropriate and are designed
and operating effectively for the achievement of financial reporting
objectives.
