(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
    ---------------------

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements.  The consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of Tyco Toys, Inc.  (the Company, Tyco or Tyco Toys) and
its subsidiaries.  All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.  Investments in unconsolidated joint ventures and other companies
are accounted for on the equity method or cost basis depending upon the level of
the investment and/or the Company's ability to exercise influence over operating
and financial policies.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of a normal recurring nature) considered necessary for a fair
presentation of results for interim periods have been made.  Certain items in
the prior period's financial statements have been reclassified to conform with
the current period's presentation.  Due to the seasonal nature of the Company's
business, the results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of the results for a full year.  The unaudited financial statements
herein should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994 which is on file with the Securities
and Exchange Commission.

(2) ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES
    ---------------------------

The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes" (SFAS 109), effective January 1, 1993.  In
accordance with SFAS 109, deferred income taxes reflect the impact of temporary
differences between values recorded for assets and liabilities for financial
reporting purposes and the values utilized for measurement in accordance with
current tax laws.

Management has determined, considering all available evidence, including the
Company's history of domestic earnings from prior years, it is more likely than
not that the Company will generate sufficient taxable income in the appropriate
carryforward periods to realize the benefit of certain net operating loss and
tax credit carryforwards, and other temporary differences.  The total net
deferred tax assets (both current and noncurrent) have been reduced to the
amount management considers realizable by establishing valuation allowances
aggregating $58,483,000.  Based on the weight of available evidence, management
has concluded that more likely than not, its future taxable income will be
sufficient to support the current recognition of the total net deferred tax
assets of $43,662,000.

The valuation allowances have been established due to management's analysis
indicating that certain tax credit and net operating loss carryforwards, which
are limited under the income tax laws, may expire prior to their full
utilization.  The valuation allowances include $16,836,000 related to the
preacquisition net operating losses of Matchbox.  Any subsequently recognized
benefits related to these net operating losses will be allocated to reduce
goodwill.

(5) ACQUISITION
    -----------

In accordance with the Purchase Agreement dated April 30, 1993, Tyco purchased
the remaining 25% interest in its Mexican subsidiary, Ensueno-Tyco, for
approximately $1,100,000.  This transaction was completed in March 1995.

(6) RESTRUCTURING CHARGES
    ---------------------

During the second quarter of 1995, the Company adopted a restructuring program
focused on reducing the overhead costs of its European, United Kingdom and Tyco
Playtime units.  The restructuring program is expected to generate annual
savings in excess of $10,000,000 through combinations of job eliminations,
facility consolidations and streamlined operations.  The pre-tax restructuring
charge of $4,900,000 consists of approximately $3,000,000 in termination and
other employee benefits and $1,300,000 of facility consolidation costs which
includes moving and lease termination payments as well as a $350,000 non-cash
write-off of assets.  The program, including related cash payments, is expected
to be substantially complete by the end of 1995.

Included in operating expenses for the third quarter of 1994 was a $4,700,000 
restructuring charge. This charge reflected the additional costs to close the 
Company's Italian subsidiary.

(7) LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
    -----------------

Italian Litigation
- ------------------
In 1994, the former managing director of the Company's Italian subsidiary
initiated court action against the Company in Italy.  The action, alleging
breach of a letter of intent with the plaintiff for the sale of the subsidiary,
resulted in the sequestration of the Company's shares in the subsidiary and
prevented the completion of the announced sale of the subsidiary to Giochi
Preziosi S.A., an Italian toy distributor.  The case is set for trial in 1996.
In the opinion of management and its outside counsel, the Company has
meritorious legal and factual defenses to the claims made in this litigation,
and the outcome is not likely to have a material adverse impact on the
Company's earnings, financial condition or liquidity.  The liquidating Trustee
has also lodged claims against the former managing director on behalf of the
subsidiary.

U.S. Customs
- ------------
In 1992, the U.S. Customs Service issued a penalty notice of an assessment for
lost duty in the amount of $1,500,000, penalties for gross negligence of
$5,800,000, and penalties for fraud of $5,600,000.  All of the claims arise from
activities of the Company's View-Master subsidiary for periods prior to its
acquisition by the Company in 1989.  Management and the Company's outside
counsel are of the opinion that the Company has legal and factual defenses to
the penalty claims made by the U.S. Customs Service, and that the outcome of the
proceedings relating to these claims, which proceedings may be protracted, are
not likely to have a material adverse impact on the earnings, financial
condition or liquidity of the Company.

Environmental Litigation
- ------------------------
Tyco Industries, a subsidiary of the Company, is a party to three matters
arising out of waste hauled by a transporter to various sites, including the
GEMS Landfill.  In litigation relating directly to remediation of the landfill,
Tyco Industries has signed a Consent Order and Trust Agreement and made a
settlement contribution of an amount not material to Tyco Industries.  In
another matter, homeowners near the GEMS Landfill have filed class action claims
against approximately 150 defendants, including Tyco Industries, for various
types of unspecified monetary damages, including punitive damages.  In
management's opinion, there are meritorious factual and legal defenses to these
claims.  In the third matter, the New Jersey Department of Environmental
Protection is asserting claims for remediation expenses at a different site in
Sewell, New Jersey used as a waste transfer station by the same transporter
involved in the other two matters.

In the opinion of management of the Company and its outside counsel, none of
these three matters is likely to have a material adverse impact on the earnings,
financial condition or liquidity of the Company.  In addition, the Company will
receive a contribution from a third party towards certain expenses in these
matters.

Other Litigation
- ----------------
The Company is involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the
ordinary course of business.  In the opinion of management, the ultimate
disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the
Company's earnings, financial condition or liquidity.

(8) NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
    ---------------------------

Net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the loss applicable to
common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and
dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during the period.  Outstanding
options, convertible subordinated notes and convertible preferred stock were
determined to be not dilutive for the periods presented, and were therefore
excluded from the per share calculations.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------
Net sales for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1995 were
$226,285,000 and $494,037,000, respectively, compared to $241,085,000 and
$506,330,000, respectively, for the same periods last year. Sales for the Tyco
Domestic unit decreased 4.2% to $108,637,000 for the quarter compared to the
comparative period in the prior year primarily due to the exclusion of certain
discontinued lines from 1995 results (approximately 60% of the decrease)
coupled with other net changes in sales mix. Domestic sales for the nine months
were up 2.5% to $273,389,000 over the prior year, reflecting improved
performance of certain categories (i.e. Radio Control and Dr. Dreadful) as well
as new product introductions (i.e. Doodle Bear, BattleTech, Casper and Little
Kiddles). In the International division, sales for the quarter and year to date
were 7.3% and 8.5% lower, respectively, than the 1994 comparable periods. These
decreases were primarily attributable to weaker sales in Europe, particularly in
France, Germany and the United Kingdom, which more than offset the increases in
the Company's other international operations. In the Company's Playtime unit,
sales for the quarter and year to date were 3.8% and 3.1% lower, respectively,
than the comparable periods in the prior year, primarily as a result of reduced
sales of non-preschool products.

Gross profit as a percentage of sales for the quarter and nine months ended
September 30, 1995 was 42.2%, compared to 40.5% and 41.7%, respectively, for the
same periods in 1994. Improved domestic and international margins were partially
offset by lower margins generated by the Company's Playtime operation. Domestic
margins improved for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1995
primarily as a result of reduced duty costs. International margins improved for
both the quarter and year to date over the comparable periods in 1994 which had
been negatively impacted by sales of carryover inventory. At Tyco Playtime,
increased tooling and royalty cost coupled with higher vendor costs contributed
to the decline in margins for both the quarter and year to date.

Operating expenses were $77,723,000 and $206,749,000 for the quarter and nine
months ended September 30, 1995, respectively, compared to $87,277,000 and
$211,113,000 for the same periods in 1994. The reduction in operating expenses
for the quarter was primarily attributable to reduced marketing expenses and a
$4,700,000 restructuring charge reflected in the third quarter of 1994. This
charge reflected the additional costs to close the Company's Italian subsidiary.
The reduction in the Company's year to date operating expenses was attributable
to decreased marketing expenses. During the second quarter of 1995, the Company
adopted a restructuring program focused on reducing overhead costs in its
European, United Kingdom and Tyco Playtime units. The restructuring program is
expected to generate annual savings in excess of $10,000,000 through
combinations of job eliminations, facility consolidations and streamlined
operations.
                                       11
<PAGE>
 
The Company's 1995 restructuring program included the elimination of 10% of the
Company's worldwide salaried workforce. As part of the restructuring, the
Company consolidated the marketing and administrative functions of its
subsidiaries in Germany, France and Benelux at the Company's recently
established European Headquarters in Belgium. In the United Kingdom, the Company
consolidated its Tyco (UK) and Matchbox (UK) operations. The restructuring also
includes a reorganization of Tyco Playtime, with its non-preschool products and
certain administrative functions being consolidated into Tyco U.S., and the
newly-named Tyco Preschool division focusing on the profitable long-term growth
of the remaining preschool business, primarily Sesame Street/(R)/ toy products.
The reduction in workforce includes the elimination of 72 positions in
Continental Europe and the United Kingdom and 61 positions at Tyco Preschool and
Tyco U.S.

The 1995 restructuring charge primarily consists of approximately $3,000,000 in
termination and other employee benefits and $1,300,000 of facility consolidation
costs which includes moving costs and lease termination payments as well as a
$350,000 non-cash write-off of assets.  The program, including related cash
payments, is expected to be substantially complete by the end of 1995.

Interest expense, net, for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1995
was $8,410,000 and $20,359,000, respectively, compared to $8,207,000 and
$21,336,000, respectively, for the same periods last year.  The decrease in
interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 reflects lower
borrowings as a result of the Company's continuing cost management efforts.
Total average borrowings for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994
were $223,403,000 and $231,712,000, respectively.  The average interest rate for
both periods was approximately 11%.

Reflected in other income for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 is a gain
of approximately $2,500,000 resulting from the Company's sale of its
distribution rights for Kidsongs music videos.  The sale was made in conjunction
with the Company's focus on the continued development of its core brands.  Also
included in other income for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 are net
foreign currency transaction gains of $1,341,000 primarily related to the
devaluation of the dollar against most European currencies.

The Internal Revenue Service has examined the consolidated federal income tax
returns of Tyco Toys, Inc. for the fiscal years ended August 31, 1987 through
August 31, 1990 and has proposed an assessment to the Company, which the Company
has elected to appeal.  Management believes that the final outcome of this
appeal will not materially affect the results of operations (including
realization of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards), financial
condition or liquidity of the Company.

                                       12

Additionally, the consolidated federal income tax returns of Tyco Toys, Inc. for
the fiscal years ended December 31, 1990 through December 31, 1992 are presently
being examined by the Internal Revenue Service.  While the final outcome of this
examination is not determinable at this time, management of the Company believes
that any proposed adjustments, if sustained, will not materially affect the
financial condition, results of operations (including realization of net
operating loss carryforwards) or liquidity of the Company.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY
- ---------------------------------

Nine Months Ended September 30, 1995
- ------------------------------------

For the nine months ended September 30, 1995, cash and cash equivalents
decreased $16,493,000 to $13,983,000.  Cash on hand and increased borrowings of
$56,706,000 under the Company's credit facilities funded the Company's cash
requirements.  The requirements consisted primarily of $54,247,000 of cash
utilized by operations which include the year to date loss of $9,958,000, the
seasonal increase in receivables and inventories, capital expenditures of
$10,428,000, and fees and expenses associated with the Company's New Credit
Facilities (as further described below).

New Credit Facilities
- ---------------------
In February and March 1995, the Company entered into $290,000,000 of new credit
facilities (the New Credit Facilities).  The New Credit Facilities consist of
three separate three-year revolving credit facilities with General Electric
Capital Corporation and affiliates in an aggregate amount of $90,000,000 and a
$200,000,000 five-year receivables securitization facility arranged through
General Electric Capital Corporation.  Borrowings under the New Credit
Facilities were used to refinance outstanding indebtedness under the principal
credit facility with a bank group led by NationsBank of North Carolina, N.A. and
certain other credit facilities of the Company's foreign subsidiaries.

The revolving credit facilities consist of up to $35,000,000 for certain
domestic entities (of which up to $10,000,000 may be used for letters of
credit), $20,000,000 for Tyco Canada, and $35,000,000 for the Company's
subsidiaries in the United Kingdom (UK).  Availability under the domestic
revolving credit is based upon inventory, as defined, and availability under the
foreign revolving credits is based upon an aggregate of eligible accounts
receivable and inventory, as defined.  The revolving credit facilities are
secured by a lien on substantially all of the Company's domestic assets and are
also guaranteed by certain foreign subsidiaries.  Subject to the maximum
commitment under each of these facilities, borrowings are permitted on up to 60%
of eligible inventory and, in the Canadian and UK agreements, up to 80% of
eligible accounts receivable.  Interest rates on borrowings are determined at
the option of the borrower based on various indices, including LIBOR or bankers'
acceptance rate, plus 2.5%

Under the terms of the New Credit Facilities, the Company and its subsidiaries
are (1) subject to covenants and conditions relating to the maintenance of net
worth, fixed charge coverage and income; (2) restricted from incurring
additional indebtedness or certain obligations and from acquiring any other
entities, whether by asset purchase, merger or otherwise; (3) restricted in the
ability to pay dividends on capital stock subject to certain limitations; and
(4) permitted to guarantee additional amounts of debt incurred by certain of its
subsidiaries up to an aggregate of $70,000,000.  During the second quarter
ended June 30, 1995, the Company was not in compliance with certain financial
covenants under the New Credit Facilities and received a waiver from General

The Company has the following sources of liquidity to support the cyclical
working capital requirements of its business:  existing cash balances and
related interest earnings, internally-generated funds, available borrowings
under its credit facilities, and proceeds from potential equity or debt
offerings.  The Company believes that its existing credit facilities and
internally-generated funds will provide adequate financing for its current and
foreseeable levels of operation.

Dividends
- ---------
The New Credit Facilities restrict the Company's ability to pay cash dividends
on common stock until the Company achieves a defined level of tangible net
worth.  The terms of the 6% Series B Voting Convertible Exchangeable Preferred
Stock, the 10.125% Senior Subordinated Notes and the 7% Convertible Subordinated
Notes also have limitations on the payment of common stock dividends by the
Company.

The Company issued additional shares of Preferred Stock in lieu of cash
dividends on its preferred shares. Preferred Stock dividends totalled $2,382,000
during the nine months ended September 30, 1995.

*  For the calculation of income (loss) per share, the inclusion of the assumed
   exercise of options is not dilutive for the periods presented and, therefore,
   such assumed exercise is excluded from the per share calculations.

**  Fully diluted income (loss) per share is not presented in the Consolidated
    Statements of Operations as the assumed conversions of the Company's
    Convertible Preferred Stock and Convertible Subordinated Notes are not
    dilutive for the periods presented.
