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 prior
periods have been reclassified to conform with the current period's
presentation. 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.

The financial information included herein should be read in conjunction
with the Company's consolidated financial statements and related notes
in its 1994 Annual Report to Shareholders.


2. Accounts receivable are shown net of allowances for doubtful accounts
of $14.8 million (September 30, 1995), $22.7 million (September 30,
1994) and $16.1 million (December 31, 1994). In addition, the Company
has reduced its accounts receivable by $24.0 million (September 30,
1995), $13.8 million (September 30, 1994), and $17.2 million (December
31, 1994) to reflect the write-down of certain uncollectible receivables
to their net realizable value.


3. Inventories are comprised of the following:

5. In April, May and June 1995, the Company issued an aggregate of $139.5
million principal amount of fixed rate notes under its Medium-Term Note
program. The notes mature on various dates from June 1998 to May 2007
and bear interest at rates ranging from 5.93% to 7.65%. The proceeds
of these issuances will be used for general corporate purposes.


6. 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
third quarter of 1994. Additionally, cash dividends of $1.2717 per
Series F Convertible Preference Stock were declared, which includes
participating common dividends of $0.06 per share.


7. Share and per share data presented in these financial statements
reflect the retroactive effects of the five-for-four stock split
distributed in January 1995.

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.


8. In connection with the IGI merger in February 1992, 864.3 thousand
shares of $0.01 par value preference stock were designated as 12.5%
Convertible Preference Stock, Series F, and issued to the IGI Employee
Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP"). On October 20 1995, the Company
purchased all shares of its preference stock from the IGI ESOP for
$73.9 million.

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


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 have historically provided the Company with relatively stable
growth. The Company's four principal core brands are BARBIE fashion dolls
and doll clothing and accessories; FISHER-PRICE toys and juvenile products,
including the Power Wheels line of battery-powered, ride-on vehicles; the
Company's Disney-licensed toys; and die-cast HOT WHEELS vehicles and
playsets, each of which has broad worldwide appeal. Additional core
product lines consist of large dolls; preschool toys, including SEE 'N SAY
talking toys; the UNO and SKIP-BO card games; and the SCRABBLE game, which
the Company owns in markets outside of the United States and Canada.


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:

THIRD QUARTER
- -------------

Net sales in the third quarter of 1995 increased $139.4 million or 13% over
the 1994 third quarter. The current quarter's performance reflects the
continuing strong demand for the Company's core products such as BARBIE
doll products; FISHER-PRICE toys and juvenile products, including the Power
Wheels line; the UNO and SKIP-BO card games; and the SCRABBLE game, as well
as Disney-licensed toys introduced in connection with the release of the
"Pocahontas" motion picture.

Worldwide sales of core products represented 85% of the Company's third
quarter gross revenues, compared to 84% in 1994. Sales to customers within
the United States increased 15% and accounted for 62% of consolidated sales
for the third quarter of 1995 compared to 60% in the third quarter of 1994.
Sales to customers outside the United States increased 10%, including a net
$2.1 million favorable effect of the generally weaker U.S. dollar relative
to the year-ago quarter. At comparable foreign currency exchange rates,
sales internationally also grew 10%.

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased one percentage point to
50%, primarily due to increased raw material prices and other product
costs.

Advertising and promotion expenses remained virtually constant as a
percentage of net sales; however, spending increased $21.1 million in
support of increased sales volume. Other selling and administrative
expenses increased $18.8 million due to higher design and development
expenses in support of new product lines, as well as an increase in bad
debt expense, including direct write-offs of uncollectible accounts of
financially troubled customers. Other income, net, increased $15.0 million
principally due to the gain recognized on the sale of the non-toy business
and trademark rights related to Corgi, and foreign currency transaction
gains.

Interest expense increased 24% compared to the third quarter of 1994. The
increase reflects higher average levels of domestic borrowings and higher
interest rates.


NINE MONTHS
- -----------

Net sales increased $308.9 million or 14% over 1994, reflecting continued
worldwide demand for the Company's core products. Worldwide core product
sales accounted for 85% of total sales compared to 84% during 1994, largely
due to increased sales of BARBIE doll products; FISHER-PRICE toys and
juvenile products, including the Power Wheels line; and Disney-licensed
toys introduced in connection with the release of the "Pocahontas" motion
picture. Sales to customers within the United States increased 16% and
accounted for 61% of consolidated sales compared to 60% in 1994. Sales to
customers outside the United States increased 11%, including a net $38.0
million favorable effect from the generally weaker U.S. dollar relative to
the year-ago period. At comparable foreign currency exchange rates, sales
internationally grew 7%.

Gross profit, as a percentage of net sales, decreased one percentage point
to 49% compared to the same period for 1994, primarily due to increased raw
material prices and other product costs.


9


Advertising and promotion expenses, as a percentage of net sales, remained
virtually constant at 15%. However, spending increased $40.7 million in
support of the growth in sales volume. Other selling and administrative
expenses increased $56.8 million mainly due to expenditures for new product
development, and an increase in bad debt expense, including direct write-
offs of uncollectible accounts of financially troubled customers. Other
income, net, increased $23.7 million as a result of the gain recognized on
the sale of the non-toy business and trademark rights related to Corgi, a
gain associated with a Mexican insurance claim, and foreign currency
transaction gains, partially offset by an increase in goodwill amortization
arising from the Kransco and J.W. Spear acquisitions in 1994.

Interest expense increased $13.9 million or 37% from 1994, which reflects
higher average levels of domestic borrowings at higher interest rates.


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

The Company's financial position remained strong as of September 30, 1995
as a result of profitable operating results. Cash balances, including
marketable securities, as of September 30, 1995 were $158.9 million lower
than year end mainly due to funding of seasonal working capital needs.

Accounts receivable increased $551.7 million since year end, primarily due
to current year sales volume and the seasonal customer payment terms. The
$62.0 million increase in accounts receivable over the year-ago quarter,
reflects increased sales volume, partially offset by the sale of certain
trade receivables. Inventory balances increased $123.9 million since year
end and $102.3 million over the 1994 quarter end, primarily due to a
continuing trend toward just-in-time ordering by retailers, and level
loading of the Company's factories in order to maximize production
efficiency.

Short-term bank borrowing decreased $234.2 million compared to the 1994
quarter end primarily due to the issuance of Medium-Term notes. Short-term
borrowings increased $243.4 million since year end in order to fund the
Company's seasonal working capital requirements. Seasonal financing needs
are expected to be satisfied through internally generated cash, issuances
of commercial paper and the sale of receivables under the domestic
Revolving Credit Agreement, and use of the Company's various foreign short-
term bank lines of credit.

----------------------------------------------

==============================================
</TABLE>

Total long-term debt increased as a percentage of total capitalization
compared to the year-ago quarter, primarily due to the issuance of Medium-
Term notes. Future long-term capital needs are expected to be satisfied
through the retention of corporate earnings and the issuance of long-term
debt instruments. Shareholders' equity increased $197.6 million since
December 31, 1994 and $153.3 million over the 1994 third quarter
principally as a result of the Company's profitable operating results and
exercises of employee stock options, partially offset by treasury share
purchases and dividends declared to common and preference shareholders.
