                    Notes to Condensed Financial Statements
                                  (Unaudited)


Note 1 - Accounting Principles.

         The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for
a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the three month
period ended September 30, 1997, are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for the year ended June 30, 1998.  For further
information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes
thereto included in the Tandy Brands Accessories, Inc. and Subsidiaries Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 1997.

Note 2 - Impact of  New Accounting Standards.

         In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings
per Share." SFAS No. 128 requires dual presentation of net income per share on
the face of all income statements issued after December 31, 1997 for all
entities with complex capital structures. At the same time the Company will be
required to change the method currently used to compute net income per share
and to restate net income per share for all prior periods. The impact of SFAS
No. 128 on primary and fully diluted net income per share amounts for the first
quarter ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 is not expected to be material.

         In June 1997, the FASB issued  SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
Income", and No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information." SFAS No. 130 requires that an enterprise report, by major
component and as a single total, the change in its equity during the period
from nonowner sources, and SFAS No. 131 establishes annual and interim
reporting requirements for an enterprise's operating segments and related
disclosures about its products and  services, geographical areas in which it
operates and major customers. Both statements are effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1997, with earlier application permitted. Adoption
of these statements is not expected to materially impact the Company's
consolidated financial position or statements of operations, stockholders'
equity and cash flows. Effects of the adoption of these statements will
primarily be limited to the form and content of the Company's disclosures.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
           CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                TANDY BRANDS ACCESSORIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

GENERAL

Tandy Brands Accessories, Inc. (the "Company") manufactures and markets men's,
women's and children's accessories.  The Company's business is conducted
primarily in the United States.  Historically, the Company's sales and
operating results are generally consistent throughout the fiscal year, but
there is a normally seasonal increase during the second quarter.

Although the Company's operations are affected by general economic trends, the
Company does not believe that inflation has had a material effect on the
results of operations.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended September 30, 1997 Compared to the Three Months Ended
September 30, 1996

For the three month period ended September 30, 1997, net sales increased 30.4%
to $30,865,000 as compared to net sales of  $23,661,000 for the same period
last year.  Net income for the first quarter increased 81.8% to $1,932,000 or
$.34 per share, compared to net income of $1,063,000 or $.20 per share, for the
same three months last year.

Men's and women's products had net sales increases over the prior year in the
comparable three-month period of $644,000 and $6,560,000, respectively. The
women's product net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 1998 were higher than
normal expectations due in part to initial order shipments of scarves, hair
goods and handbags to certain major customers in addition to increased women's
accessories sales.

Gross margins for the three month period decreased 0.2% as compared to the same
period for the prior year. Consistent with Company historical trends, the lower
gross margins associated with women's product sales were offset by handbag and
men's product sales.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales for
the three months ended September 30, 1997 decreased 2.1% as compared to the
same period of the prior year. A portion of this decrease resulted from a
larger mix of women's product sales,  which, on a percentage sales basis, incur
lower variable selling expenses than men's product sales. Additionally, the
majority of the sales increases for the quarter were to customers on which no
sales commissions are paid, which decreased selling costs as a percentage of
sales.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 1997 was 38.3%
compared to 36.8% for the same prior year period due to increased state income
taxes.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Generally, the Company's primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from
operations and the Company's lines of credit.  The Company has two unsecured
bank credit lines aggregating $50,000,000 which can be used for seasonal
borrowings and letters of credit.  The Company also has a Canadian line of
credit for approximately $1,000,000 secured by a letter of credit from a U.S.
bank.  The Company's borrowings under its credit lines were $21,100,000 and
$23,050,000 as of September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

For the three months ended September 30, 1997, the Company's operating
activities used cash of $5,466,000 compared to $8,264,000 for the same period
last year. The decrease was attributable to cash receipts collected from the
increase in fourth quarter of  fiscal 1997 sales which were used to fund the
purchase of inventory during the three months ended September 30, 1997. This
net use of cash relates to the increasing sales trends requiring increased
inventory levels and increases in accounts receivable due to higher sales.

Capital expenditures were $229,000 for the three months ended September 30,
1997.  The increase of  $75,000 over the same prior year period is due
primarily to enhancements made to the Company's management information systems.

The Company believes that its sources of liquidity are sufficient to fund its
operations.
