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 tables summarize the changes in Level 3 financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and the year ended December 31, 2010, in millions:

Pension And Other Postretirement Benefits Disclosure
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 six months ended June 30, 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.

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.

At June 30, 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 June 30, 2011 and 2010 did not exceed the equivalent accreted value of the Notes.
Additionally, 36 million common shares and 37 million common shares, respectively, for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 37 million common shares and 38 million common shares, respectively, for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2010 related to stock options were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per common share due to their antidilutive effect.

Note L — concluded:
In the first six months of 2011, the Company granted 2 million shares of long-term stock awards; to offset the dilutive impact of these awards, the Company also repurchased and retired approximately 2 million shares of Company common stock, for cash aggregating $30 million. At June 30, 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 $.15 ($.15), respectively, for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2011 and the three months and six months ended June 30, 2010.
Commitments And Contingencies Disclosure
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.

ncome Tax Disclosure
N. The effective tax rate was 138 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2011 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 $6 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 one percent and three percent for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 from the comparable periods of 2010. Excluding the positive effect of currency translation, net sales decreased four percent for both the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 from the comparable periods of 2010. The following table reconciles reported net sales to net sales excluding acquisitions and the effect of currency translation, in millions:

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 both the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 from the comparable periods of 2010. North American net sales were also negatively affected by the planned exit of certain cabinet product lines, which decreased sales by three percent for both the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 from the comparable periods of 2010. Such declines were partially offset by selling price increases, which increased sales by three percent for both the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 from the comparable periods of 2010.
In local currencies, net sales from International operations increased five percent for both the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011, primarily due to increased sales volume and selling prices of International plumbing products, offset by lower sales volume related to International cabinets. A weaker U.S. dollar increased International net sales by 13 percent and six percent, respectively, in the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same periods of 2010.

MASCO CORPORATION
Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net sales of Cabinets and Related Products decreased in the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 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 12 percent and 13 percent, respectively, from the comparable periods of 2010. Net sales in this segment were also negatively affected by lower sales volumes of both North American and International cabinets, which decreased sales in this segment by ten percent and 11 percent, respectively, in the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 from the comparable periods of 2010. A weaker U.S. dollar increased sales in this segment by two percent and one percent, respectively, for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 from the comparable periods of 2010.
Net sales of Plumbing Products increased, due to increased selling prices in North America, which increased sales by one percent in both the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 from the comparable periods of 2010. In local currencies, net sales of International operations increased sales in this segment by four percent in both the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 from the comparable periods of 2010. Such increases in International sales were due to increased sales volume and selling prices. A weaker U.S. dollar increased sales in this segment by six percent and three percent, respectively, for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 from the comparable periods of 2010.
Net sales of Installation and Other Services decreased for both the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 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 both the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011, due to lower sales volume of paints and stains and builders’ hardware, principally at retail. Such declines were partially offset by increased selling prices of paints and stains and increased sales of paint products to professional painters.
Net sales of Other Specialty Products decreased due to lower sales volume of windows in North America and the U.K., which decreased sales by seven percent and four percent, respectively, for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 from the comparable periods of 2010. A weaker U.S. dollar increased sales in this segment by two percent and one percent, respectively, for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 from the comparable periods of 2010.
OPERATING MARGINS
Our gross profit margins were 26.3 percent and 25.2 percent, respectively, for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 compared with 26.7 percent and 26.6 percent, respectively, for the comparable periods of 2010. Results for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 reflect lower sales volume and the related under-absorption of fixed costs, a less favorable relationship between selling prices and commodity costs, increased advertising and program costs, increased litigation settlement expenses and increased expenses related to growth initiatives.

Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales, were 21.8 percent and 22.2 percent, respectively, for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011, compared to 20.8 percent and 21.6 percent, respectively, for the comparable periods of 2010. The increase in selling, general and administrative costs is primarily due to increased sales incentives to North American retailers and increased expenses related to growth initiatives.
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 and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 includes $15 million and $47 million, respectively, of costs and charges related to our business rationalizations and other initiatives. For the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010, we incurred costs and charges of $51 million and $65 million, respectively, 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 June 30, 2011 benefitted from lower costs and charges associated with business rationalizations. Such increases were partially offset by lower sales volume and the related under-absorption of fixed costs, a less favorable relationship between selling prices and commodity costs and increased promotional expenses. Operating margins in this segment for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011 reflect lower sales volume and the related under-absorption of fixed costs, as well as a less favorable relationship between selling prices and commodity costs. Such decreases more than offset the benefits associated with business rationalizations and other cost savings initiatives.
Operating margins in the Plumbing Products segment for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 were negatively affected by a less favorable relationship between selling prices and commodity costs, a less favorable product mix, increased expenses related to growth initiatives and increased costs related to business rationalizations and other cost savings initiatives. Such declines were partially offset by the benefits associated with business rationalizations and other cost savings initiatives and increased sales volume of International operations.
Operating margins in the Installation and Other Services segment were negatively impacted by lower sales volume and the related under-absorption of fixed costs and increased expenses related to growth initiatives. Such declines 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 and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 reflect lower sales volume of paints and stains and builders’ hardware, as well as increased advertising and program costs.
Operating margins in the Other Specialty Products segment for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 reflect lower sales volume and the related under-absorption of fixed costs, as well as a less favorable relationship between selling prices and commodity costs, increased expenses related to growth initiatives and a less favorable product mix. These decreases offset the benefits associated with business rationalizations and other cost savings initiatives.

OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE), NET
Other items, net, for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 included $3 million and $1 million, respectively, of currency transaction losses. Other items, net, for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010 included $5 million and $6 million, respectively, of currency transaction losses.
For the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011, we recognized gains of $27 million and $41 million, respectively, related to the sale of TriMas common stock and gains of $6 million and $9 million, respectively, related to distributions from private equity funds.
For the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010, we recognized non-cash, pre-tax impairment charges of $33 million related to financial investments ($28 million related to Asahi Tec preferred stock and $5 million related to private equity funds and other private investments).
LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
Income (loss) (attributable to Masco Corporation) for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 was $8 million and $(38) million, respectively, compared with $3 million and $(4) million, respectively, for the comparable periods of 2010. Diluted income (loss) per common share (attributable to Masco Corporation) for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 was $.02 per common share and $(.11) per common share, respectively, compared with $.01 per common share and $(.02) per common share, respectively, for the comparable periods of 2010.
The effective tax rate was 66 percent and 138 percent, respectively, for the three-month and six-month periods ending June 30, 2011. The tax rate in 2011 is higher than our normalized tax rate of 36 percent primarily due to an increase in the valuation allowance related to net operating losses and losses in certain jurisdictions providing no tax benefit.
The effective tax rate was 25 percent and 58 percent, respectively, for the three-month and six-month periods ending June 30, 2010. The second quarter of 2010 tax rate includes a $6 million tax benefit on the anticipated tax loss from the abandonment of certain intangibles costs due to our decision to discontinue the manufacture of ready-to-assemble and other non-core in-stock assembled cabinet product lines. The tax rate for the first half of 2010 is higher than our normalized tax rate of 36 percent primarily due to certain plant closure costs and other losses in certain jurisdictions providing no tax benefit.
OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Our current ratio was 2.1 to 1 and 2.3 to 1, respectively, at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.
For the six months ended June 30, 2011, cash of $31 million was used for operating activities.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net cash used by financing activities was $105 million. Financing activities include $54 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 provided from investing activities was $4 million and included $49 million of proceeds related to the sale of TriMas common stock, $9 million of net proceeds related to sale of other financial investments and $10 million of net proceeds related to the sale of fixed assets, partially offset by $67 million for capital expenditures.
For 2011, we anticipate capital expenditures, excluding any potential 2011 acquisitions, to be approximately $190 million.
Our cash and cash investments were $1.6 billion and $1.7 billion at June 30, 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 $1.6 billion and the $1.7 billion of cash and cash investments held at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, $529 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 June 30, 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
The lack of job creation, high cost of energy and declining consumer confidence have made forecasting in the timing and strength of the recovery extremely difficult. Most economists have reduced their forecasts for 2011, including housing start levels that are now flat compared with 2010. As such, we believe that growth in the second half of 2011 will be challenged. Longer-term, however, we are confident about the fundamentals for the new home construction and home improvement markets and we are optimistic about the future.
We have several new programs that we are funding today that will drive future growth opportunities across our businesses. We are very encouraged with the progress we are making to increase our penetration with the North American cabinet dealer and with the professional painter. We also have exciting new programs that will launch later this year in plumbing, cabinets and builders’ hardware and we continue to invest in the development of international opportunities for paint and plumbing. We expect that improvements in our markets and in consumer spending, together with the changes we are driving across Masco and our financial strength, will create significant value for our shareholders.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
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 June 30, 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.
During the second quarter of 2011, we completed 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 second quarter of 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
