                  MATTEL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
           -------------------------------------------


1.  The  accompanying  unaudited consolidated financial  statements  and
    related  disclosures have been prepared in accordance with generally
    accepted  accounting  principles  applicable  to  interim  financial
    information  and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and  Rule  10-01
    of  Regulation  S-X.  In the opinion of management, all  adjustments
    considered  necessary  for  a  fair presentation  of  the  Company's
    financial  position and interim results as of and  for  the  periods
    presented  have  been included.  Certain amounts  in  the  financial
    statements   for  the  period  ending  June  30,  1993   have   been
    reclassified to conform with the current period's presentation.

    The  financial  information  included  herein  should  be  read   in
    conjunction  with  the  Company's consolidated financial  statements
    and  related  notes  in  its  1993 Annual  Report  to  Shareholders.
    Because  the  Company's business is seasonal,  results  for  interim
    periods  are  not  necessarily indicative  of  those  which  may  be
    expected for a full year.

    On  November  30,  1993 the merger, accounted for as  a  pooling-of-
    interests,  of Fisher-Price, Inc. into a wholly-owned subsidiary  of
    the  Company  was completed.  Accordingly, all financial information
    as of and for the period ended June 30, 1993 includes Fisher-Price.


2.  On  May  31,  1994, the Company acquired substantially  all  of  the
    business   assets  of  Kransco,  a  San  Francisco-based   designer,
    manufacturer  and marketer of brand name recreational  and  sporting
    products  including POWER WHEELS battery-powered, ride-on  vehicles,
    HULA  HOOP and FRISBEE products marketed under the WHAM-O trademark,
    STREET  JAM  sporting  goods,  MOREY  BOOGIE  bodyboards  and  other
    watersport   toys.   The  purchase  price  included   initial   cash
    consideration of $260.0 million plus the assumption by  the  Company
    of  all of Kransco's business debts and liabilities associated  with
    the  purchased  assets.  The asset purchase agreement also  provides
    for  future contingent consideration in the event that net sales  of
    the  POWER WHEELS product line reaches or exceeds certain levels  in
    each  of  calendar  years  1994,  1995  and  1996.  The   contingent
    consideration  payable  with respect to any year  shall  not  exceed
    $8.6 million.

    The acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method  of
    accounting  and,  accordingly, the Company's consolidated  financial
    statements  for  the three- and six-month periods  ending  June  30,
    1994  include the effect of this transaction for only the  month  of
    June.   Intercompany accounts and transactions, although immaterial,
    were  eliminated.  The asset purchase agreement requires  completion
    of  an  audited closing date balance sheet in order to finalize  the
    initial  purchase price.  Because the audited closing  date  balance
    sheet  was not completed, for purposes of these financial statements
    the  initial  purchase price was allocated to assets and liabilities
    based  upon preliminary best estimates of fair values as of May  31,
    1994.   Based  upon such preliminary unaudited data, the  excess  of
    cost  over  net  assets acquired was approximately  $211.4  million,
    which is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 20 years.


                                  6
<PAGE>

    The   following  summary  presents  unaudited  pro  forma  operating
    results  as  though the asset purchase transaction had  occurred  at
    the  beginning  of  1994  and  1993, and  includes  adjustments  for
    estimated  amounts of goodwill amortization, depreciation  of  fixed
    assets  at  their  estimated  fair  values,  increases  in  interest
    expense  assuming  the  initial purchase consideration  resulted  in
    additional  short-term borrowing during the periods  presented,  and
    the  elimination of intercompany transactions.  These pro forma data
    are  for  illustrative  purposes only, and  do  not  purport  to  be
    indicative of the actual results which would have occurred  had  the
    transaction  been  consummated as of those earlier  dates,  nor  are
    they  indicative  of results of operations which may  occur  in  the
    future.

6.  As  discussed in Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements  in
    the  Company's  1993 Annual Report to Shareholders, on  February  9,
    1994,  a  notice  of  redemption was issued to  holders  of  the  8%
    Debentures.   During  the  first  quarter  of  1994,  the  remaining
    outstanding  debentures were converted by the holders  resulting  in
    the issuance of 5,897,258 common shares.


7.  As  discussed in Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements  in
    the  Company's  1993  Annual  Report to Shareholders,  the  warrants
    assumed  by  the Company in connection with the Fisher-Price  merger
    permitted  holders,  upon  such a change of  control,  to  surrender
    their  warrants  for an amount in cash at any time during  the  six-
    month  period  from the merger date.  During June 1994,  holders  of
    288,653 warrants elected the cash option and received $4.9 million.


8.  In  the  current  quarter,  the Board  of  Directors  declared  cash
    dividends  of $0.06 per common share, compared to $0.05  per  common
    share  in  the second quarter of 1993.  Additionally, cash dividends
    of  $1.4149  per  Series  F preference share  were  declared,  which
    includes participating common dividends of $0.06 per share.

    Effective  with the Company's most recent dividend declaration,  the
    Board   announced  the  introduction  of  a  dividend   reinvestment
    program.   In  addition  to  providing  automatic  reinvestment   of
    dividends,  the new program also allows shareholders  of  record  to
    purchase additional shares through cash payments.


9.  Share and  per share  data presented  in  these financial statements
    reflect  the retroactive effects  of the Fisher-Price merger and the
    five-for-four stock split distributed in January 1994.

    Income  per common share is computed by dividing earnings  available
    to  common  shareholders by the average number of common and  common
    equivalent shares outstanding during each period.  Weighted  average
    share  computations  assume the exercise of dilutive  stock  options
    and  warrants,  reduced  by  the number of  shares  which  could  be
    repurchased at average market prices with proceeds from exercise.


10. In   July   1994,  the  Company  announced  that  it  had   received
    irrevocable commitments to acquire a majority of the shares of  J.W.
    Spear  &  Sons ("Spear"), a company organized in the United Kingdom,
    that  holds  the  rights  to SCRABBLE and  other  games  in  certain
    markets  outside of the United States and Canada.  The  transaction,
    which  is  valued at approximately $90 million, is to  be  accounted
    for  as a purchase.  Under the terms of the offer, shareholders  may
    elect   to  receive  the  purchase  consideration  of  11.50  pounds
    sterling per issued share in either cash, interest-bearing notes  or
    in  a  combination  of cash and notes.  It is anticipated  that  the
    remaining  issued  shares will be received  by  the  Company  during
    August.

                  MATTEL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
             MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
          ---------------------------------------------

Mattel,  Inc.  (the  "Company")  designs,  manufactures,  markets   and
distributes a broad variety of toy products on a worldwide basis.   The
Company's business is dependent in great part on its ability each  year
to  redesign,  restyle  and extend existing core products  and  product
lines  and to design and develop innovative new toys and product lines.
New  products have limited lives, ranging from one to three years,  and
generally must be updated and refreshed each year.

Core   brands  which  historically  have  provided  the  Company   with
relatively  stable  growth  include  BARBIE  dolls,  doll  clothes  and
accessories,  FISHER-PRICE toys and juvenile products,  Disney-licensed
toys,  die-cast  vehicles including HOT WHEELS, large dolls,  preschool
toys  including SEE 'N' SAY toys, and the UNO and SKIP-BO  card  games.
The  Company's May 1994 acquisition of the business assets  of  Kransco
has  provided Mattel with another core consumer franchise,  namely  the
POWER WHEELS line of battery-powered, ride-on vehicles.


                      RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                      ---------------------

The  Company's  business  is  seasonal,  and,  therefore,  results   of
operations  are comparable only with corresponding periods.   Following
is a percentage analysis of operating results:

Second Quarter
- - --------------

Net  sales in the second quarter of 1994 increased $73.6 million or  13%
over  the  1993  second quarter.  The current quarter's performance  was
fueled  by sales of FISHER-PRICE toys and children's products,  new  toy
introductions  in connection with the releases of "The  Lion  King"  and
"The Flintstones" motion pictures, as well as by June's sales of Kransco
products,  the  most significant of which was POWER WHEELS.   Additional
volume  was  added  by continued demand for POLLY POCKET  toys  and  the
Company's line of McDonald's activity toys.


                                  9
<PAGE>

Worldwide sales of core products represented 83% of the Company's second
quarter  gross revenues compared to 84% in the second quarter  of  1993.
Sales  to customers within the United States increased 15% and accounted
for  61%  of consolidated sales compared to 60% in the year-ago quarter.
Sales to customers outside the United States increased 9%.  Including  a
$6.5  million unfavorable effect of a strengthening U.S. dollar relative
to  the year-ago quarter, at comparable foreign currency exchange rates,
sales internationally grew 13%.

Gross  profit  as a percentage of net sales remained at 48%,  consistent
with  the  year-ago  quarter.  Higher sales  volumes  and  lower  direct
product costs were offset by increases in manufacturing and distribution
overhead and royalty expenses related to sales of licensed products.

Advertising and promotion expenses increased $10.6 million in support of
the  increased  sales volume, but remained at 14% of net sales  in  both
1994  and  1993.   As  a  percentage of net  sales,  other  selling  and
administrative  expenses  decreased from  20%  to  18%,  reflecting  the
Company's  ongoing  expense control measures  as  well  as  efficiencies
realized  from  the  integration of Fisher-Price.   Other  expense,  net
decreased $2.5 million, as higher goodwill amortization arising from the
Kransco asset purchase transaction was more than offset by the effect of
nonrecurring  fixed  asset write-offs, which occurred  during  the  1993
second quarter.

Interest  expense decreased 23% compared to the second quarter of  1993.
This  significant  reduction reflects the prepayment  of  Fisher-Price's
10.69% term loan and conversions of 8% Debentures to common stock,  both
of  which  were  completed during the 1994 first  quarter.   These  cost
savings  were partially offset by interest expense on the 6-3/4%  Senior
Notes  issued in May 1993 and increases in short-term borrowing to  meet
seasonal  working capital needs and to finance portions of  the  Kransco
asset purchase transaction.


Six Months
- - ----------

Net  sales in the first half of 1994 increased $83.7 million or 8%  over
1993,  reflecting  continued worldwide demand  for  the  Company's  core
products.  Worldwide core product sales accounted for 83% of total sales
compared  to  85%  during 1993, largely as a result of  strong  non-core
product sales such as POLLY POCKET toys, the McDonald's line of activity
toys,  MIGHTY MAX action figures and products based on "The Flintstones"
motion  picture.  Sales to customers within the United States  increased
6%  and accounted for 60% of consolidated sales compared to 61% in 1993.
Sales to customers outside the United States increased 9%.  Including  a
$15.2 million unfavorable effect of a strengthening U.S. dollar relative
to  the  year-ago period, at comparable foreign currency exchange rates,
sales internationally grew 13%.


                                 10
<PAGE>

As  a percentage of net sales, gross profit increased to 49% as compared
to 47% for the first half of 1993.  Gross profit increased $54.8 million
or  11%  over  1993,  primarily  due to increased  sales  volume  and  a
favorable product mix.

Advertising and promotion expenses remained constant as a percentage  of
net  sales, however, spending increased $13.8 million in support of  the
growth  in  sales  volume.   In both 1994 and 1993,  other  selling  and
administrative  expenses  were  21% of net  sales.   The  $12.3  million
increase for 1994 reflects expenditures for new product development  and
the Company's expansion into additional markets.

Interest expense decreased $8.5 million or 30% from 1993 levels  due  to
the prepayment of Fisher-Price's 10.69% term loan and conversions of  8%
Debentures to common stock, partially offset by interest expense on  the
6-3/4% Senior Notes issued in May 1993.

Results  of  operations for 1993 reflect a $4.0 million  charge  in  the
first quarter which represented the net cumulative effect of changes  in
accounting  principles adopted as of January 1, 1993;  a  $20.0  million
charge,  net of related income tax effects of $11.6 million, arising  in
connection  with  the  adoption  of Statement  of  Financial  Accounting
Standards No. 106 was partially offset by a $16.0 million credit related
to the adoption of Statement No. 109.


                       FINANCIAL CONDITION
                       -------------------

The  Company's  continuing financial strength reflects  its  consistent
focus  on  asset management and advantageous utilization  of  financial
resources.  Cash balances as of June 30, 1994 were $23.1 million higher
than  the year-ago quarter.  The $408.4 million decrease in cash  since
December  31, 1993 primarily reflects cash consideration  paid  to  the
owners  of  Kransco  pursuant  to  the asset  purchase  agreement,  the
retirement  of  approximately  $20.0 million  of  Kransco's  short-term
borrowing  which  had been assumed by the Company,  the  prepayment  of
Fisher-Price's  10.69%  term loan and reductions  of  year-end  accrued
liabilities  of  which  the most significant  expenditures  related  to
approximately  $50.1  million of merger integration  and  restructuring
costs.   Cash  outflows were partially offset by  cash  generated  from
operations,  short-term  bank borrowing  and  proceeds  from  sales  of
certain trade accounts receivable pursuant to the Company's receivables
purchase facility.

Accounts receivable increased $299.0 million since year end and  $134.6
million  over the year-ago quarter, reflecting increased sales  volumes
during  the  current year and the addition of $42.5 million of  Kransco
receivables.   Inventory balances increased $103.4 million  since  year
end  and  $11.3 million over the 1993 quarter end, which  includes  the
$28.7  million  addition  of  Kransco  inventories  and  the  Company's
production in support of future sales volumes, partially offset by  the
effect  of  inventory  control programs  and  the  termination  of  the
Company's Nintendo distribution agreement.


                                 11
<PAGE>

Other  noncurrent  assets increased $214.0 million over  the  year  ago
quarter,  primarily  as a result of goodwill and intangible  assets  of
$212.6  million  arising in connection with the Kransco asset  purchase
transaction  and an increase of $15.1 million in deferred  tax  assets,
partially reduced by the amortization of intangible assets.

Short-term bank borrowing increased $254.9 million compared to the 1993
quarter  end  and $342.3 million since year end, in order to  fund  the
Company's  seasonal working capital requirements and finance a  portion
of  the  Kransco asset purchase transaction.  Seasonal financing  needs
for  the  next  twelve  months are expected  to  be  satisfied  through
internally generated cash, issuances of commercial paper, the Company's
various short-term bank lines of credit and, from time to time,  medium
or long-term debt issuances which the Company may elect to offer.

Details of the Company's capitalization are as follows:

</TABLE>

In  connection with the Kransco asset purchase transaction, the  Company
assumed  debt secured by a manufacturing facility in Ft. Wayne, Indiana.
Interest  on the debt, consisting of $9.7 million outstanding  principal
amount  of  County  of  Allen Variable Rate Demand Economic  Development
Revenue  Bonds,  is  charged  at varying  rates  (2.6%  in  June  1994).
Principal  payments  are  $300,000  annually,  commencing  in  1994  and
continuing through 2018.

Total  long-term debt decreased as a percentage of total  capitalization
compared  to  the year-ago quarter, primarily due to prepayment  of  the
Fisher-Price term loan and conversions of the 8% Debentures into  shares
of  the  Company's common stock.  Shareholders' equity increased  $175.4
million since December 31, 1993 and $216.7 million over the 1993  second
quarter  principally  as a result of the Company's profitable  operating
results,  conversions  of the 8% Debentures and  exercises  of  employee
stock  options,  partially  offset  by  treasury  stock  purchases   and
dividends declared to common and preference shareholders.
