A. Accounting Policies
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, 2011 and the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2010 was derived from audited financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Effective January 1, 2011, the Company adopted new accounting guidance which addresses how to determine whether a sales arrangement involves multiple deliverables or contains more than one unit of accounting, and how the sales arrangement consideration should be allocated among the separate units of accounting. The Company evaluated this new guidance and the adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position or its results of operations.

Note D – continued:
The fair value of the auction rate securities held by the Company have been estimated, on a recurring basis, using a discounted cash flow model (Level 3 input). The significant inputs in the discounted cash flow model used to value the auction rate securities include: expected maturity of auction rate securities, discount rate used to determine the present value of expected cash flows and the assumptions for credit defaults, since the auction rate securities are backed by credit default swap agreements.
The following table summarizes the changes in Level 3 financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and the year ended December 31, 2010, in millions:

Financial investments measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis during 2010 and the amounts for each level within the fair value hierarchy were as follows, in millions:

Note D – concluded:
The Company did not have any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 financial assets in the first quarter of 2011 or in the full-year 2010.
Income from financial investments, net, was $17 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, related to the sale of TriMas common stock ($14 million) and a distribution from private equity funds ($3 million).
The fair value of the Company’s short-term and long-term fixed-rate debt instruments is based principally upon quoted market prices for the same or similar issues or the current rates available to the Company for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. The aggregate estimated market value of short-term and long-term debt at March 31, 2011 was approximately $4.2 billion, compared with the aggregate carrying value of $4.1 billion. The aggregate estimated market value of short-term and long-term debt at December 31, 2010 was approximately $4.2 billion, compared with the aggregate carrying value of $4.1 billion.
E. Derivatives
E. During 2011 and 2010, the Company entered into foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge currency fluctuations related to intercompany loans denominated in non-functional currencies. At March 31, 2011, the Company had recorded losses of $8 million on the foreign currency exchange contracts, which is partially offset by gains related to the translation of loans and accounts denominated in non-functional currencies. Gains (losses) related to these contracts are recorded in the Company’s consolidated statements of income in other income (expense), net. For the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had recorded (losses) gains net of $(4) million and $4 million, respectively, related to these foreign currency exchange contracts.
During 2011 and 2010, the Company, including certain European operations, also entered into foreign currency forward contracts to manage a portion of its exposure to currency fluctuations in the European euro and the U.S. dollar. Based upon period-end market prices, the Company had recorded liabilities of $1 million and $3 million to reflect contract prices at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. Gains (losses) related to these contracts are recorded in the Company’s consolidated statements of income in other income (expense), net. For the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had recorded gains (losses) net of $2 million and $(1) million, respectively, related to these foreign currency exchange contracts.
In the event that the counterparties fail to meet the terms of the foreign currency forward contracts, the Company’s exposure is limited to the aggregate foreign currency rate differential with such institutions.
During 2011 and 2010, the Company entered into several contracts to manage its exposure to increases in the price of copper and zinc. Based upon period-end market prices, the Company had recorded assets of $7 million to reflect contract prices at both March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. Gains (losses) related to these contracts are recorded in the Company’s consolidated statements of income in cost of goods sold. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, there were no gains or losses related to these contracts.
The fair value of these derivative contracts is estimated on a recurring basis, quarterly, using Level 2 inputs (significant other observable inputs).

Additionally, at March 31, 2011, the Company could absorb a reduction to shareholders’ equity of approximately $530 million, and remain in compliance with the debt to total capitalization covenant.
In order to borrow under the Credit Agreement, there must not be any default in the Company’s covenants in the credit agreement (i.e., in addition to the two financial covenants, principally limitations on subsidiary debt, negative pledge restrictions, legal compliance requirements and maintenance of properties and insurance) and the Company’s representations and warranties in the credit agreement must be true in all material respects on the date of borrowing (i.e., principally no material adverse change or litigation likely to result in a material adverse change, since December 31, 2009, in each case, no material ERISA or environmental non-compliance and no material tax deficiency). The Company was in compliance with all covenants and no borrowings have been made at March 31, 2011.
H. Stock-Based Compensation
H. The Company’s 2005 Long Term Stock Incentive Plan (the “2005 Plan”) provides for the issuance of stock-based incentives in various forms to employees and non-employee Directors of the Company. At March 31, 2011, outstanding stock-based incentives were in the form of long-term stock awards, stock options, phantom stock awards and stock appreciation rights. Pre-tax compensation expense and the related income tax benefit, for these stock-based incentives, were as follows, in millions:

Long-Term Stock Awards
Long-term stock awards are granted to key employees and non-employee Directors of the Company and do not cause net share dilution inasmuch as the Company continues the practice of repurchasing and retiring an equal number of shares on the open market.

At March 31, 2011 and 2010, there was $145 million and $158 million, respectively, of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock awards; such awards had a weighted average remaining vesting period of five years and six years, respectively.
The total market value (at the vesting date) of stock award shares which vested during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was $23 million and $17 million, respectively.
Stock Options
Stock options are granted to key employees of the Company. The exercise price equals the market price of the Company’s common stock at the grant date. These options generally become exercisable (vest ratably) over five years beginning on the first anniversary from the date of grant and expire no later than 10 years after the grant date.
The Company granted 2,372,500 of stock option shares in the three months ended March 31, 2011 with a grant date exercise price approximating $13 per share. In the first three months of 2011, 209,750 stock option shares were forfeited (including options that expired unexercised).

I. Employee Retirement Plans
I. The Company sponsors qualified defined-benefit or defined-contribution retirement plans for most of its employees. In addition to the Company’s qualified defined-benefit pension plans, the Company has unfunded non-qualified defined-benefit pension plans covering certain employees, which provide for benefits in addition to those provided by the qualified pension plans. Substantially all salaried employees participate in non-contributory defined-contribution retirement plans, to which payments are determined annually by the Organization and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.
During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company adjusted certain employee expense related accruals which resulted in a $5 million reduction to expenses related to the fourth quarter of 2010. The effect was not material to the previously issued financial statements.
Effective January 1, 2010, the Company froze all future benefit accruals under substantially all of the Company’s domestic qualified and non-qualified defined-benefit pension plans. Future benefit accruals related to the Company’s foreign non-qualified plans were frozen several years ago.

Note I – concluded:
At December 31, 2010, the Company reported a net liability of $522 million, of which $163 million was related to our non-qualified, supplemental retirement plans, which are not subject to the funding requirements of the Pension Protection Act. In accordance with the Pension Protection Act of 2006, the Adjusted Funding Target Attainment Percentage (“AFTAP”) for the various defined-benefit pension plans ranges from 62 percent to 86 percent. At December 31, 2010, the Company had one plan that offered accelerated benefits (i.e., lump sum distributions) and the AFTAP for that plan is less than 80 percent; therefore, the plan is prohibited from allowing participants to receive any lump sum distribution in excess of 50 percent of the benefit value. In addition, plan amendments increasing benefits or liabilities for that plan are also prohibited.

For the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company allocated dividends to the unvested restricted stock awards (participating securities).
At March 31, 2011 and 2010, 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, 2011 and 2010 did not exceed the equivalent accreted value of the Notes.
Additionally, 39 million common shares for both the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, related to stock options were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per common share due to their antidilutive effect.
In the first three months of 2011, the Company granted two million shares of long-term stock awards; to offset the dilutive impact of these awards, the Company also repurchased and retired approximately two million shares of Company common stock, for cash aggregating $30 million. At March 31, 2011, the Company had 25 million shares of its common stock remaining under the July 2007 Board of Directors repurchase authorization.
On the basis of amounts paid (declared), cash dividends per common share were $.075 ($.075) and $.075 ($.075), respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.

M. Other Commitments and Contingencies
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 previously disclosed, a lawsuit was brought against the Company and a number of its insulation installation companies alleging that certain of their practices violated provisions of the federal antitrust laws. The case was filed in October 2004 in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia by Columbus Drywall & Insulation, Inc., Leo Jones Insulation, Inc., Southland Insulators, Inc., Southland Insulators of Maryland, Inc. d/b/a Devere Insulation, Southland Insulators of Delaware LLC d/b/a Delmarva Insulation, and Whitson Insulation Company of Grand Rapids, Inc. against the Company, its subsidiaries Masco Contractors Services Group Corp., Masco Contractor Services Central, Inc. (“MCS Central”) and Masco Contractor Services East, Inc., and several insulation manufacturers (the “Columbus Drywall case”). In February 2009, the court certified a class of 377 insulation contractors. Another suit was filed in March 2003 in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia by Wilson Insulation Company, Wilson Insulation of Augusta, Inc. and The Wilson Insulation Group, Inc. against the Company, Masco Contractor Services, Inc., and MCS Central that alleged anticompetitive conduct. This case has been removed from the court’s active docket. In March 2007, Albert Von Der Werth and Valerie Good filed suit in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California against the Company, its subsidiary Masco Contractor Services, and several insulation manufacturers seeking class action status and alleging anticompetitive conduct. This case was subsequently transferred to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia and has been administratively stayed by the court. An additional suit, which was filed in September 2005 and alleged anticompetitive conduct, was dismissed with prejudice in December 2006.
The Company is vigorously defending the Columbus Drywall case. Based upon the advice of its outside counsel, the Company believes that the conduct of the Company and its insulation installation companies, which is the subject of the above-described lawsuits, has not violated any antitrust laws. The Company is unable at this time to reliably estimate any potential liability which might occur from an adverse judgment. There cannot be any assurance that the Company will ultimately prevail in these lawsuits, or, if unsuccessful, that the ultimate liability would not be material and would not have a material adverse effect on its businesses or the methods used by its insulation installation companies in doing business.
N. Income Taxes
N. In the first quarter of 2011, the Company incurred income tax expense of $13 million on a pre-tax loss of $(21) million, primarily due to an increase in the valuation allowance related to net operating losses and losses in certain jurisdictions providing no tax benefit.
As a result of tax audit closings, settlements and expiration of applicable statutes of limitations in various jurisdictions within the next 12 months, the Company anticipates that it is reasonably possible that the liability for uncertain tax positions could be reduced by approximately $7 million.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
We report our financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States. However, we believe 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 performance measures and ratios should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, our reported results.
NET SALES
Net sales decreased four percent for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011 from the comparable period of 2010. The impact of changes in the European euro and Danish kroner was offset by changes in the British pound sterling and Canadian dollar. The following table reconciles reported net sales to net sales, excluding acquisitions and the effect of currency translation, in millions:

Net sales, excluding acquisitions

Currency translation
Net sales, excluding acquisitions and the effect of currency translation
$ 1,772 $ 1,852
North American net sales were negatively impacted by lower sales volume of installation and other services, cabinets, paints and stains and builders’ hardware, which, in the aggregate, decreased sales by six percent for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011 from the comparable period of 2010. Such declines were partially offset by selling price increases, which increased sales by two percent for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011 from the comparable period of 2010.
In local currencies, net sales from International operations increased five percent for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011, primarily due to increased sales volume and selling prices of International plumbing products, offset by lower sales volume related to International cabinets. A stronger U.S. dollar decreased International net sales by one percent in the three-month period ended March 31, 2011, compared to the same period of 2010.
Net sales of Cabinets and Related Products decreased in the three-month period ended March 31, 2011, due to the planned exit of ready-to-assemble and other non-core in-stock cabinet product lines which decreased net sales in this segment by 13 percent, as well as lower sales volumes of both North American and International cabinets compared to the same period of 2010, which decreased sales in this segment by 12 percent. Such declines were partially offset by increased selling prices.

MASCO CORPORATION
Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net sales of Plumbing Products increased, due to increased sales volume and selling prices in North America, which, on a combined basis, increased sales by three percent in the three-month period ended March 31, 2011 from the comparable period of 2010. In local currencies, net sales of International operations increased sales in this segment by five percent in the three-month period ended March 31, 2011 from the comparable period of 2010. Such increases in International sales were due to increased sales volume and selling prices.
Net sales of Installation and Other Services decreased for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011, primarily due to lower sales volume in the new home construction market. Such declines were partially offset by increased selling prices.
Net sales of Decorative Architectural Products decreased for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011, due to lower sales volume of paints and stains and builders’ hardware (principally due to the loss of Wal-Mart business). Such declines were partially offset by increased selling prices of paints and stains and increased sales of professional paint products.
Net sales of Other Specialty Products were relatively unchanged for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011, compared with the same period in 2010.
OPERATING MARGINS
Our gross profit margins were 24.0 percent for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011 compared with 26.6 percent for the comparable periods of 2010. Selling, general and administrative expenses were relatively flat, as a percentage of sales, for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011 compared with the same period in 2010. Results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011 reflect lower sales volume and a less favorable relationship between selling prices and commodity costs, as well as increased business rationalization expenses.
We have been focused on the strategic rationalization of our businesses, including business consolidations, plant closures, headcount reductions, system implementations and other initiatives. Operating profit for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011 includes $32 million of costs and charges related to our business rationalizations and other initiatives. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2010, we incurred costs and charges of $14 million related to these initiatives.
We anticipate that full-year 2011 rationalization charges, for the entire Company, will aggregate approximately $65 million. We continue to evaluate our businesses and the impact of market conditions on our businesses, which may result in additional rationalization charges including severance, plant closure costs and asset impairments.
Operating margins in the Cabinets and Related Products segment for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011 reflect lower sales volume and the related under-absorption of fixed costs, as well as increased business rationalization expenses, related to previously announced product exits and a less favorable relationship between selling prices and commodity costs, principally in Europe. Such decreases more than offset the benefits associated with business rationalizations and other cost savings initiatives.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Operating margins in the Plumbing Products segment for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011 were negatively impacted by a less favorable relationship between selling prices and commodity costs, increased business rationalization expenses and a less favorable product mix. Such declines were partially offset by the benefits associated with business rationalizations and other cost savings initiatives.
Operating margins in the Installation and Other Services segment were negatively impacted by lower sales volume and the related under-absorption of fixed costs, which offset a more favorable relationship between selling prices and commodity costs, as well as the benefits associated with business rationalizations and other cost savings initiatives.
Operating margins in the Decorative Architectural Products segment for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011 reflect lower sales volume of paints and stains and builders’ hardware, as well as a less favorable relationship between selling prices and commodity costs related to paints and stains and increased program costs.
Operating margins in the Other Specialty Products segment for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011 reflect a less favorable relationship between selling prices and commodity costs and increased new product launch and geographic expansion costs.
OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE), NET
Interest expense for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011 increased $5 million from the comparable period of 2010, primarily due to the issuance of $500 million of 7.125% notes in the first quarter of 2010.
Other items, net, for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011 included $2 million of currency transaction gains. Other items, net, for the three-month period ended March 31, 2010 included $1 million of currency transaction losses.
Other items, net, for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011 included a $17 million gain related to the sale of TriMas common stock ($14 million) and a distribution from private equity funds ($3 million).
LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
Loss (attributable to Masco Corporation) for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011 was $46 million compared with $7 million for the comparable period of 2010. Diluted loss per common share (attributable to Masco Corporation) for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011 was $.13 per common share compared with $.02 per common share for the comparable period of 2010.
In the first quarter of 2011, we incurred income tax expense of $13 million on a pre-tax loss of $(21) million, primarily due to an increase in the valuation allowance related to net operating losses and losses in certain jurisdictions providing no tax benefit.
In the first quarter of 2010, our effective tax rate was 82 percent, resulting primarily from a $9 million increase in our liability for uncertain tax positions including interest and penalties, net of U.S. Federal tax benefit. This increase resulted primarily from changes in the tax environment related to activities performed in various jurisdictions that caused a re-measurement of this liability.

OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Our current ratio was 2.2 to 1 and 2.3 to 1, respectively, at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.
For the three months ended March 31, 2011, cash of $160 million was used for operating activities.
Net cash used by financing activities was $58 million. Financing activities include $27 million for the payment of cash dividends and $30 million for the acquisition of Company common stock in open-market transactions to offset the dilutive impact of long-term stock awards granted in 2011. Net cash used for investing activities was $14 million and included $29 million for capital expenditures offset by $14 million of proceeds related to the sale of TriMas common stock.
For 2011, we anticipate capital expenditures, excluding any potential 2011 acquisitions, to be approximately $190 million.
Our cash and cash investments were $1.5 billion and $1.7 billion at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. Our cash and cash investments consist of overnight interest bearing money market demand and time deposit accounts, money market mutual funds and government securities.
Of the $1.5 billion and the $1.7 billion of cash and cash investments held at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, $513 million and $493 million, respectively, is held in foreign subsidiaries. If these funds were needed for our operations in the U.S., their repatriation into the U.S. may result in additional U.S. income taxes or foreign withholding taxes. The amount of such taxes is dependent on the income tax laws and circumstances at the time of distribution.
We were in compliance with all covenants and had no borrowings under our credit agreement at March 31, 2011.
We are 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 certain specific claims pending against us.
We believe that our present cash balance, cash flows from operations and, to the extent necessary, bank borrowings and future financial market activities, are sufficient to fund our working capital and other investment needs.
OUTLOOK FOR THE COMPANY
While we still believe that the second half of 2011 will be stronger than the first half, our enthusiasm has been tempered somewhat. Job growth has been modest at best, energy costs have increased, reflecting the turmoil in the Middle East and most economists have reduced their forecasts for 2011, including for housing starts. Given the uncertainty of the timing and strength of the recovery in our markets, we will continue to focus on the things we can control to improve our execution and strengthen our brands. The Masco Business System continues to drive positive change across the Company. Our cabinet integration is on plan and we expect will ultimately drive fixed cost reductions and share gains; we have strengthened our brands and our focus on innovation is driving exciting opportunities across all of our product groups.

a. Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
The Company, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of its disclosure controls and procedures as required by Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) as of March 31, 2011. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
b. Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. (Subject to SEC Review)
During the first quarter of 2011, we continued a phased deployment of a new Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”) system at several branches of Masco Contractor Services, one of the Company’s larger business units. As a result, financial and operating transactions in those branches now utilize the automated functionality relative to revenue recognition and inventory management. This new system represents a process improvement initiative and is not in response to any identified deficiency or weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. The system implementation is designed, in part, to enhance the overall system of internal control over financial reporting through further automation of various business processes.
There were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the first quarter of 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
