                     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.

                                     MATTEL
                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.
