respect to the executive officers of Mattel appears under the heading “Executive Officers of the Registrant” in
Part I herein.

Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management.

Item 14. Controls and Procedures.
Within 90 days prior to the filing date of this report, Mattel’s disclosure controls and procedures were
evaluated. Based on this evaluation, Robert A. Eckert, Mattel’s principal executive officer, and Kevin M. Farr,
Mattel’s principal financial officer, concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were effective in
timely alerting them to material information relating to Mattel required to be included in Mattel’s periodic
reports.
During the fourth quarter of 2002, Mattel began a planned conversion to new and upgraded financial
information technology systems for some of its subsidiaries based in the US. Mattel has evaluated the effect on
its internal controls of this conversion and determined that such internal controls were not negatively impacted by
the conversion.
