<p style="MARGIN-TOP: 6px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%">
<font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2">Effective
January 1, 2009, Mattel adopted ASC 815-10 (formerly SFAS
No. 161, <i>Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement
No. 133</i>). ASC 815-10 amends and expands the current
disclosure requirements to provide users of financial statements
with an enhanced understanding of (i) how and why an entity
uses derivative instruments, (ii) how derivative instruments
and related hedged items are accounted for, and (iii) how
derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an
entity’s financial position, results of operations, and cash
flows. The adoption of this standard had no impact on
Mattel’s financial statements.</font></p>
<p style="MARGIN-TOP: 12px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%">
<font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2">Mattel seeks to
mitigate its exposure to foreign currency transaction risk by
monitoring its foreign currency transaction exposure for the year
and partially hedging such exposure using foreign currency forward
exchange contracts. Mattel uses foreign currency forward exchange
contracts as cash flow hedges primarily to hedge its purchases and
sales of inventory denominated in foreign currencies. These
contracts generally have maturity dates up to 18 months. These
derivative instruments have been designated as effective cash flow
hedges, whereby the unsettled hedges are reported in Mattel’s
consolidated balance sheets at fair value, with changes in the fair
value of the hedges reflected in other comprehensive income
(“OCI”). Realized gains and losses for these contracts
are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations in the
period in which the inventory is sold to customers. Additionally,
Mattel uses foreign currency forward exchange contracts to hedge
intercompany loans and advances denominated in foreign currencies.
Due to the short-term nature of the contracts involved, Mattel does
not use hedge accounting for these contracts, and as such, changes
in fair value are recorded in the period of change in the
consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30,
2009, Mattel held foreign currency forward exchange contracts with
notional amounts of approximately $1.17 billion, which was equal to
the exposure hedged.</font></p>
<p style="MARGIN-TOP: 12px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%">
<font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2">In connection
with the issuance of its $100.0 million of Floating Rate Senior
Notes, Mattel entered into two interest rate swap agreements, each
in a notional amount of $50.0 million, for the purpose of
hedging the variability of cash flows in the interest payments due
to fluctuations of the LIBOR benchmark interest rate. The two
interest rate swap agreements expired in June 2009, which
corresponded with the maturity of the Floating Rate Senior Notes.
These derivative instruments were designated as effective cash flow
hedges<i>,</i> whereby the hedges were reported in Mattel’s
consolidated balance sheets at fair value, with changes in the fair
value of the hedges reflected in OCI. Under the terms of the
agreements, Mattel received quarterly interest payments from the
swap counterparties based on the three-month LIBOR plus 40
basis points and made semi-annual interest payments to the swap
counterparties based on a fixed rate of 5.871%. The three-month
LIBOR used to determine interest payments under the interest rate
swap agreements had reset every three months, matching the variable
interest on the Floating Rate Senior Notes.</font></p>
