Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
         ------------------------------------


     On May 13, 1999, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of
December 13, 1999 (the "Merger Agreement"), between Mattel, Inc. ("Mattel") and
The Learning Company, Inc. ("Learning Company"), Learning Company was merged
with and into Mattel, with Mattel as the surviving corporation (the "Merger").
Learning Company developed and published a broad range of high-quality branded
consumer software for personal computers that educated across every age
category, from young children to adults.

     Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each outstanding share of common stock of
Learning Company, $.01 par value per share ("Learning Company Common Stock"),
was converted into the right to receive 1.2 shares of common stock of Mattel,
$1.00 par value per share ("Mattel Common Stock").  The formula in the Merger
Agreement for determining the exchange ratio was determined through arm's length
negotiations.  Based on the capitalization of Learning Company as of May 13,
1999, the former Learning Company stockholders have the right to receive
approximately 126 million shares of Mattel Common Stock.  No fractional shares
are issuable in the Merger.  Learning Company stockholders otherwise entitled to
receive a fraction of a share of Mattel Common Stock in the Merger instead are
entitled to receive, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, an amount of cash equal
to such fraction multiplied by $26.15, which is the average of the closing
prices of the Mattel Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange for 10 randomly
selected trading days out of the 20 trading days ending on the fifth trading day
preceding the Merger.  All options to purchase Learning Company Common Stock
outstanding immediately prior to the Merger were assumed by Mattel and converted
into options to purchase Mattel Common Stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement.
Additionally, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each outstanding exchangeable
non-voting share of Learning Company's Canadian subsidiary, Softkey Software
Products Inc., remains outstanding, but under the terms of the exchangeable
shares, becomes exchangeable into 1.2 shares of Mattel Common Stock.

1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated financial statements of The Learning Company, Inc. ("TLC" or
the "Company") for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 are unaudited
and reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which
are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the
results for the interim periods. These consolidated financial statements should
be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements
previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the fiscal year ended
January 4, 1999. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31,
1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year ending
December 31, 1999.

The first quarter reporting period for 1999 ended on April 3, 1999, and the
first quarter reporting period for 1998 ended on April 4, 1998.  The periods
from January 3, 1999 to April 3, 1999 and from January 4, 1998 to April 4, 1998
are referred to as the "First Quarter 1999" and the "First Quarter 1998" or the
"Three Months Ended March 31, 1999" and the "Three Months Ended March 31, 1998",
respectively, throughout these financial statements.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make assumptions regarding items
such as return reserves and allowances, net realizable value of intangible
assets and valuation allowances for deferred tax assets that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Significant estimates in
these financial statements include: return reserves, inventory reserves,
valuation of deferred tax assets and valuation and useful lives of intangible
assets.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.


2.  BORROWINGS

On August 7, 1998, the Company amended its revolving line of credit (the "Line")
to provide a maximum availability of $147,500, of which $40,000 was outstanding
at March 31, 1999 and was subsequently repaid.  Borrowings under the Line are
due July 1, 2000 and bear interest at variable rates.  The Line is subject to
certain financial covenants and is secured by a general security interest in
certain operating subsidiaries of the Company and by a pledge of the stock of
certain of its subsidiaries. Upon consummation of the May 1999 merger with
Mattel, Inc. ("Mattel"), all outstanding borrowings under the Line were repaid
and the agreement was terminated by Mattel.

3.  COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

Effective January 4, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standard No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income."  The Company's comprehensive
income (loss) was as follows:

5.  COMPUTATION OF EARNINGS PER SHARE

Dilutive income per share is computed using the weighted average number of
shares of the Company's common stock outstanding during the period, plus the
dilutive effect of common stock equivalents. Common stock equivalents consist of
convertible debentures, preferred stock, stock options and warrants. The
dilutive computations do not include common stock equivalents for the Three
Months Ended March 31, 1998, as their inclusion would be antidilutive. Dilutive
elements would include the 750,000 shares of Series A Convertible Participating
Preferred Stock (which is ultimately convertible into 15,000,000 shares of
common stock) issued on December 5, 1997, special warrants to acquire 8,687,500
exchangeable non-voting shares of Softkey Software Products Inc., the Company's
Canadian subsidiary, and employee stock options totaling 12,483,000 at March 31,
1998.

6.  EFFECT OF NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities."  This statement establishes accounting and
reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative
instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as
derivatives), and for hedging activities.  The statement requires companies to
recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities, with the instruments
measured at fair value.  The accounting for changes in fair value, gains or
losses, depends on the intended use of the derivative and its resulting
designation.  The statement is effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 133 by January
1, 2001 and does not expect SFAS No. 133 to have a material impact on its
financial statements.

In December 1998, AcSEC issued SOP 98-9, "Software Revenue Recognition, with
Respect to Certain Arrangements," which required recognition of revenue using
the "residual method" in a multiple element arrangement when fair value does not
exist for one or more of the undelivered elements in the arrangement.  Under the
"residual method," the total fair value of the undelivered elements is deferred
and subsequently recognized in accordance with SOP 97-2.  The Company does not
expect the adoption of SOP 98-9 will have a material impact on its results of
operations.

Mattel Merger

Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 13, 1998, a
merger was consummated between Mattel and TLC on May 13, 1999. The stock-for-
stock transaction was approved by the stockholders of both companies, after
which TLC was merged with and into Mattel, with Mattel being the surviving
corporation. Under the terms of the merger agreement, each share of TLC Series A
Preferred Stock was converted into 20 shares of TLC common stock just prior to
the consummation of the merger. Each outstanding share of TLC common stock was
then converted into the right to receive 1.2 shares of Mattel common stock. As a
result, approximately 126 million Mattel common shares will be issued in
exchange for all shares of TLC common stock outstanding as of the merger date.
The outstanding share of TLC special voting stock was converted into the right
to receive one share of Mattel Special Voting Preferred Stock. Each outstanding
exchangeable non-voting share of TLC's Canadian subsidiary, Softkey Software
Products Inc., remains outstanding, but becomes exchangeable into the right to
receive 1.2 shares of Mattel common stock.

                     Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined
                              Financial Statements

  We have provided unaudited condensed combined financial statements of Mattel
after giving effect to the merger, which are referred to as "pro forma"
information. In presenting these unaudited pro forma condensed combined
financial statements, we treated our companies as if they had always been
combined for accounting and financial reporting purposes. This method is known
as the "pooling of interests" method of accounting. You should be aware that
these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are presented
for illustrative purposes only and may not be indicative of the operating
results or financial position that would have occurred or that will occur after
the consummation of the merger.

  We have provided an unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as
of March 31, 1999 that includes the impact of transaction costs related to
the merger and tax benefits relating to Learning Company's net operating loss
carryforwards and deductible temporary differences. The impact of merger
integration and Mattel restructuring costs to be recognized in the second
quarter of 1999 are not included in this balance sheet.

  We have also provided unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of
operations for the three-month periods ended March 31, 1998 and 1999 assuming
the merger had occurred as of January 1, 1996. The unaudited pro forma condensed
combined statements of operations for all periods presented exclude the positive
effects of potential cost savings that the companies may achieve upon combining
the resources of Mattel and Learning Company, transaction costs of approximately
$75 to $85 million, including investment banking, legal and accounting fees and
contractual incentive benefits, and merger integration and Mattel restructuring
costs to be recognized in the second quarter of 1999.

  On March 5, 1998, Learning Company purchased Mindscape, Inc. Since the
acquisition of Mindscape, Inc. is material to Learning Company's results of
operations, we have included the preacquisition results of Mindscape, Inc. in
the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the
three-month period ended March 31, 1998 as if the acquisition had occurred on
January 1, 1998.

  The historical financial statements of Mattel as of and for the three-month
periods ended March 31, 1998 and 1999 are derived from Mattel's unaudited
consolidated financial statements previously filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on Forms 10-Q and 10-Q/A. The historical financial
statements of Learning Company as of and for the three-month period ended March
31, 1998 are derived from Learning Company's unaudited consolidated financial
statements previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form
10-Q/A. The historical financial statements of Learning Company as of and for
the three-month period ended March 31, 1999 are derived from Learning Company's
unaudited consolidated financial statements previously filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission on Mattel's Form 8-K/A filed on June 9, 1999. These
financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles applied to interim financial information. In the opinion
of Mattel's and Learning Company's management, all adjustments necessary for a
fair presentation of financial information for such interim periods have been
included.

                Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined
                              Financial Statements

1. Basis of Presentation

  The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements assume a
business combination between Mattel and Learning Company accounted for using
the pooling of interests method and are based upon the respective historical
financial statements and the accompanying notes of Mattel and Learning Company,
as well as the historical financial statements of Mindscape, Inc.

  Each share of Learning Company series A preferred stock was converted into 20
shares of Learning Company common stock just prior to consummation of the
merger. According to the merger agreement, each outstanding share of Learning
Company common stock was then converted into the right to receive 1.2 shares of
Mattel common stock.

  Although the transaction has been completed, the costs of the merger can only
be estimated at this time. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements
of operations for all periods presented exclude the positive effects of
potential cost savings that the companies may achieve upon combining the
resources of Mattel and Learning Company, transaction costs of approximately $75
to $85 million, including investment banking, legal and accounting fees and
contractual incentive benefits, and merger integration and Mattel restructuring
costs to be recognized in the second quarter of 1999.

  The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31, 1999
includes the impact of all transactions, whether of a recurring or nonrecurring
nature, that can be reasonably estimated and should be reflected as of that
date. The impact of merger integration and Mattel restructuring costs to be
recognized in the second quarter of 1999 are not included in this balance sheet.

  Certain historical Learning Company and Mindscape, Inc. results have been
reclassified to conform with Mattel's basis of presentation.

2. Pro Forma Adjustments

  Intercompany Transactions--There were no material intercompany transactions
that required elimination from the unaudited pro forma condensed combined
statements of operations or balance sheet.

 Balance Sheet

  (a) Other Current and Noncurrent Assets--The unaudited pro forma condensed
combined balance sheet has been adjusted to reflect the recognition of the
estimated tax benefits related to Learning Company's net operating loss
carryforwards and deductible temporary differences under the combined company's
income tax position.

  (b) Accounts Payable, Accrued Liabilities, and Income Taxes Payable--The pro
forma adjustment in the amount of $50 million, net of taxes, reflects accruals
in connection with the estimated transaction costs of $75 million related to
the merger. These costs are not considered in the unaudited pro forma condensed
combined statements of operations. These estimated transaction costs will be
charged against the results of operations in the second quarter of 1999.

                Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined
                        Financial Statements (Continued)

  (c) Stockholders' Equity--Stockholders' equity has been adjusted to reflect
the following:

  --Common stock accounts are adjusted for the assumed issuance of approximately
  123 million shares of Mattel common stock in exchange for approximately 102
  million shares of Learning Company common stock (which includes shares of
  Learning Company common stock issued upon conversion prior to the merger of
  Learning Company Series A preferred stock at the rate of 20 common shares for
  each preferred share outstanding as of March 31, 1999) using the exchange
  ratio of 1.2.

  --Additional paid-in capital is adjusted for the effects of issuance of
  shares of Mattel common stock having a $1.00 par value per share in
  exchange for Learning Company Series A preferred stock and Learning Company
  common stock, each having a $0.01 par value per share, and the recognition
  of the tax benefits related to the exercise of Learning Company non-
  qualified stock options due to utilization of Learning Company's net
  operating losses in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements
  of operations.

  --Retained earnings is adjusted for the effects of:

     (1) accrual for the minimum of the estimated range for transaction
          costs related to the merger;

     (2) compensation expense related to the Learning Company restricted
          common stock; and

     (3) recognition of estimated tax benefits from the assessment of income
         tax valuation allowances under the combined company's expected
         income tax position.

 Statement of Operations

  (d) Amortization of Intangibles--In connection with its acquisition of
Mindscape, Inc., Learning Company recorded goodwill and other intangible assets,
which reflected the allocation of the purchase price paid to brands and trade
names and completed technology and products. The pro forma adjustment reflects
the amortization of the identifiable intangible assets acquired and goodwill
over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis. The estimated useful
lives of brands and trade names, completed technology and products, and goodwill
are 10, 2 and 10 years, respectively.

  (e) Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes--The unaudited pro forma adjustment
reflects the reduction of valuation allowances established in Learning
Company's historical financial statements resulting in the recognition of
estimated benefits of net operating losses incurred by Learning Company in the
unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements due to the combined
company's expected income tax position.

  (f) Income (Loss) per Common Share--Historical and unaudited pro forma per
share data of Mattel and Learning Company include the retroactive effect of the
August 1998 merger of Broderbund Software, Inc. into Learning Company accounted
for as a pooling of interests. Unaudited pro forma weighted average common
shares outstanding for all periods presented are based upon Mattel's and
Learning Company's combined historical weighted average shares, adjusted for
dilutive common stock equivalents, as appropriate, and after adjustment of
Learning Company's historical number of shares using the exchange ratio of 1.2.
