E.   In January 1998, the Company received $48 million of cash
     from MSX International, Inc. ("MSXI") in payment of certain
     amounts due MascoTech, resulting from the sale of the
     Company's engineering and technical business services
     business to MSXI in early 1997.  The Company realized a pre-
     tax gain of $7 million in the first quarter of 1998
     resulting from the partial recognition of a deferred gain
     that was deferred at the time of the sale pending the
     receipt of cash.

F.   On January 22, 1998, the Company completed the acquisition
     of TriMas Corporation ("TriMas") by purchasing all of the
     outstanding shares of TriMas not already owned by the
     Company for approximately $920 million.  The Company
     previously owned 37 percent of TriMas.  The results for
     first quarter of 1998 reflect TriMas sales and operating
     results from date of acquisition.

G.   The Company has completed the sale of its aftermarket-
     related and vacuum metalizing businesses in April for total
     proceeds aggregating approximately $105 million, including $90
     million of cash which will be applied to reduce the Company's
     indebtedness, a note receivable of $6 million and retained equity
     interests in the ongoing businesses.  These transactions resulted
     in a pre-tax gain of approximately $25 million ($14 million after-
     tax), of which $10 million was recognized in the first quarter of
     1999 (including $15.2 million ($6 million after-tax) resulting
     from the Company's revised estimate of the fair market value of
     certain assets held for sale at March 31, 1999 and a loss of
     approximately $5.2 million ($3.8 million after-tax) on a
     transaction that closed March 1999).  The remaining pre-tax gain
     on disposition of approximately $15 million ($12 million after-
     tax) will be recognized in the second quarter of 1999.

H.   Effective December 31, 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No.
     131, "Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
     Information." The adoption of SFAS No. 131 did  not  affect
     results  of operations or financial position but did  affect
     the disclosure of segment information.

     The Company purchased TriMas in January 1998 and the segment
     data for 1998 reflects TriMas as though the transaction 
     had occurred  on January 1, 1998, consistent with the 
     Company's internal management reporting.

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

     MascoTech sales for the first quarter 1999, aided by the
previously announced acquisition of TriMas Corporation on January
22, 1998, increased 12 percent to $449 million from $401 million
in 1998.

     In April 1999, the Company completed the sale of its
aftermarket-related and vacuum metalizing businesses for total
proceeds aggregating $105 million, including $90 million of cash
which will be applied to reduce the Company's indebtedness.
These transactions resulted in a net pre-tax gain of
approximately $25 million ($14 million after-tax), of which $10
million ($2 million after-tax) net was recorded in the first
quarter of 1999 based on the Company's revised estimate of the
fair value of certain of these businesses held for sale at March
31, 1999.  The remaining pre-tax gain on disposition of
approximately $15 million ($12 million after-tax) will be
recognized in the second quarter of 1999.  The aggregate net pre-
tax gain of $25 million partially recovers the estimated $41
million pre-tax charge to earnings in the second quarter of 1998
related to the disposition of these businesses.  This gain was
partially offset by an approximate $3 million pre-tax charge ($2
million after-tax), included in other expense, to reflect the
decline in value of an equity affiliate of the Company.  Results
in the first quarter 1998 benefited from a gain (deferred at time
of sale pending receipt of cash) of $7 million pre-tax related to
the disposition of the Company's Technical Services Group in 1997
and gains from the Company's marketable securities portfolio.

     The following information related to sales, operating profit
and margins is presented on a pro forma basis, as though
MascoTech and TriMas were combined for the three months ended
March 31, 1999 and 1998 and excluding the unusual pre-tax income
mentioned above.

          Sales in the first quarter would have increased
     approximately three percent to $449 million in 1999
     from $437 million in 1998; operating profit after
     general corporate expense would have been $59 million
     in 1999 as compared with $64 million in 1998.

          Sales for Specialty Metal Formed products for the
     first quarter 1999 approximated 1998 levels.  The
     Company's European forging operations and connecting
     rod business had 13 percent sales growth. This sales 
     growth was offset by significant declines in
     the Company's tubular operations reflecting the phase
     out of certain programs and decreased sales of constant
     velocity joints principally as a result of depressed Eastern 
     Europe market conditions.  In addition, inventory balancing at
     a major customer decreased first quarter sales.  Aided
     by acquisitions, sales of Specialty Fasteners increased
     five percent in the first quarter of 1999 as compared
     with 1998.  This segment continues to be negatively
     impacted by reduced demand for aerospace and
     agricultural fasteners applications.  Sales of Towing
     System products, aided by new product introductions and
     promotional activities, increased 21 percent in the
     first quarter of 1999 as compared with 1998.  First
     quarter 1999 sales for Specialty Packaging and Sealing
     Products approximated 1998 levels as increased sales
     from recent acquisitions were offset by a 30 percent
     decline in sales of compressed gas cylinders principally
     as a result of the economic conditions in Asia.  In
     addition, sales for specialty gaskets and related
     products declined principally as a result of reduced 
     activity in the oil and gas industry.  Sales of Specialty
     Industrial products were down six percent from 1998
     levels in the first quarter.

Item 2.        MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
            FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                           (continued)

          Operating margins approximated 13.1 percent and
     14.5 percent for the quarters ended March 31, 1999 and
     1998, respectively. Although first quarter 1999
     operating margins were improved from fourth quarter
     1998 levels, margins continue to be negatively impacted
     by sales declines for certain products including
     tubular, constant velocity joint, cylinder, aerospace
     and agricultural fastener, aftermarket-related and
     certain products impacted by oil and gas prices.  In
     addition, start up costs related to the launch of new
     products and a new manufacturing facility also
     negatively impacted operating performance.

     The Company's high effective tax rate, as compared with the
statutory rate for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 is the result
of the tax treatment accorded the gain recognized in the first
quarter related to the disposition of certain businesses.

     The Board of Directors declared a dividend of $.07 per
common share, payable on May 10, 1999, to shareholders of record
on April 16, 1999.  The Company purchased and retired in the
first quarter 1999 approximately 790,000 shares pursuant to an
outstanding Board of Directors authorization.

     Although the Company incurred increased debt with the
purchase of TriMas, the Company's interest coverage ratio and
debt to cash flow ratio remain strong.  The Company expects that
its ratio of debt to total debt plus equity will improve from the
operating performance of its businesses and the disposition of
certain businesses and financial assets.  Additional borrowings
available under the Company's revolving credit agreement and
otherwise, and anticipated internal cash flows, are expected to
provide sufficient liquidity to fund the Company's debt repayment
requirements and foreseeable working capital, capital expansion
program and other investment needs.

Year 2000

     The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs
having been written using two digits, rather than four, to define
the applicable year.  Any of the Company's computers, computer
programs, manufacturing and administration equipment that have
date-sensitive software may recognize a date using "00" as the
year 1900 rather than the year 2000.  If any of the Company's
systems or equipment that have date-sensitive software use only
two digits, system failures or miscalculations may result causing
disruptions of operations, including, among other things, a
temporary inability to process transactions or send and receive
electronic data with third parties or engage in similar business
activities.

     As a key supplier to the automotive industry, the Company's
major exposure for Year 2000 problems is the effect of shutting
down production at one of its automotive customer's manufacturing
facilities.  While lost revenues from such an event are a concern
for the Company, the greater risks are the consequential damages
for which the Company could be liable if it in fact is found
responsible for the shutdown of one of its customer's
manufacturing facilities.  Such a finding could have a material
adverse impact on the Company's results of operations.

     The most likely way in which the Company would shut down
production at an automotive customer's facility is by being
unable to supply parts to that customer.  The parts supplied by
the Company, in most instances, are integral components of the
end products produced by customers, and the inability to provide
parts may render the customer unable to manufacture and sell its
products.  Disruptions in the Company's computer systems and
applications could prevent the Company from being able to
manufacture and ship its parts.  Examples are failures in the
Company's manufacturing application software, computer chips
embedded in manufacturing equipment and lack of supply of
materials from its suppliers.  The Company's parts do not contain
computer devices that require remediation to meet Year 2000
requirements.  A review of the Company's status with respect to
remediating its computer systems for Year 2000 compliance is
presented below.

Item 2.          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
             FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                             (continued)

     The Company has had in place an internal review team that is
addressing the Year 2000 issues that encompasses operating and
administrative areas of the Company.  In addition, the Company
has engaged professional consultants to assist Company personnel
to identify significant Year 2000 issues in a timely manner.
Also, executive management and the Board of Directors regularly
monitors the status of the Company's Year 2000 remediation plans.
The process includes an assessment of issues and development of
remediation plans, where necessary, as they relate to internally
used software, computer hardware and the use of computer
applications in the Company's manufacturing processes.

     For its information technology, the Company currently
utilizes a mid-range, non-mainframe based computing environment
which is complemented by a series of local-area networks ("LANs")
that are connected via a wide-area network ("WAN").
Substantially all operating systems related to the mid-range
systems, LANs and WAN have been updated to comply with Year 2000
requirements.  In addition, upgraded and modified versions of the
Company's financial, manufacturing, human resource, and other
packaged software applications which are Year 2000-ready are in
the process of being integrated into the Company's overall
system.  The Company presently expects that this integration will
be substantially completed in the next several months.

     The Company utilizes non-mainframe computers and software in
its various production processes throughout the world.  In
several locations, the Company has retained outside consultants
to assist in identifying potential Year 2000 issues in those
processes, and evaluating the readiness of the computer systems
used in those processes.  General findings to-date have
identified minimal changes that need to be made to these systems.
Problems generally relate to old personal computers or memory
chips which are being replaced.

     Although there can be no assurance that the Company will
identify and correct every Year 2000 issue found in the computer
applications used in its production processes, the Company
believes that it has in place a comprehensive program to identify
and correct any such issues, and has substantially completed the
remediation of its production systems in early 1999.  At the
present time, the Company does not believe that it requires a
contingency plan with respect to its information technology and
production processes, and has therefore not developed one.

     The Company is also reviewing its building and utility
systems (heat, light, phones, etc.) for Year 2000 impact.  Many
of these systems are Year 2000-ready.  While the Company is
working diligently with all of its utility suppliers and has no
reason to expect that they will not meet their required Year 2000
compliance targets, there can be no assurance that these
suppliers will in fact meet the Company's requirements.  The
failure of any such supplier to fully remediate its systems for
Year 2000 compliance could cause a disruption of one or more of
the Company's plants, which could impact the Company's ability to
meet its obligations to supply products to its customers.

     The Company has also commenced a program to determine the
Year 2000 compliance efforts of its equipment and material
suppliers.  The Company has sent comprehensive questionnaires to
all of its significant suppliers regarding their Year 2000
compliance and is attempting to identify any problem areas with
respect to them.  The Company has been working with its key
suppliers including its steel suppliers to ensure that it will
receive key components without disruption.  This program will be
ongoing and the Company's efforts with respect to specific issues
identified will depend in part upon its assessment of the risk
that any such issues may have a material adverse impact on its
operations.

                            (concluded)

     Unfortunately, the Company cannot control the conduct of its
suppliers, and therefore cannot guarantee that Year 2000 problems
originating with a supplier will not occur.  The Company has not
yet developed contingency plans in the event of a Year 2000
failure caused by a supplier or third party, but would intend to
do so if a specific problem is identified through the programs
described above.  In some cases, especially with respect to its
utility vendors, alternative suppliers may not be available.

     As a key supplier in the auto industry, the Company takes an
active role in many industry-sponsored organizations, including
the Automotive Industry Action Group ("AIAG").  The AIAG has been
proactive in working with OEMs and suppliers to ensure that the
industry as a whole addresses the Year 2000 problem.  Tools to
assist in achieving compliance include standardized
questionnaires, regular meetings of members, follow-up by AIAG
personnel regarding answers to questionnaires, etc.  The Company
continues to work with such industry groups to ensure compliance.

     The information presented above sets forth the key steps the
Company is taking to address the Year 2000 issue.  The cost of
Year 2000 compliance for the Company is expected to approximate
$11 - $15 million, including: replacement costs of $6-$8 million
which are normal and recurring; upgrades of $2-$3 million which
are normal and recurring; repair/programming costs of $2-$3
million and other costs of $1 million, will not be material to
the Company's consolidated results of operations and financial
position.  The majority of the replacement and upgrade costs
would have been incurred by the Company over time as part of its
regular information system replacement process.
