TANDY BRANDS ACCESSORIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Form 10-K
Part I

ITEM 1. Business.

Tandy Brands Accessories, Inc. ("the Company") designs,
purchases, manufactures and markets fine leather goods,
accessories and neckwear for men, women and children. The
Company was incorporated on November 1, 1990. However, the
predecessor companies to its leather product manufacturing
division ("Accessories") have been manufacturers and marketers of
men's and boys' leather accessories for more than 50 years and of
neckwear for more than 10 years. Men's accessories are also
marketed and manufactured through not only the Accessories
division, but also through Canterbury and H.A. Sheldon. In
addition to its men's accessories operations, the Company designs
and markets women's and children's accessories through Accessory
Design Group, Inc. ("ADG") and Prince Gardner ("PG").

The Company purchased certain assets of Prince Gardner Inc.
on April 4, 1994, for $7,690,000 through a foreclosure sale held
by PG's secured lender. Prince Gardner was originally acquired
to strengthen and broaden the Company's ability to achieve more
sales in its men's and women's accessory product lines in better
department stores. What Tandy Brands had hoped to acquire was a
name that engendered brand loyalty and therefore sales. Prince
Gardner had a very recognizable name, but brand recognition does
not necessarily translate into brand loyalty and therefore into
sales. Prince Gardner's operating results for the last two years
were disappointing. Therefore, after a thorough review conducted
in 1996 by management, based upon future estimated undiscounted
cash flows, it was determined that future cash flows would be
insufficient to recover the Prince Gardner division's goodwill
and other intangibles. Accordingly, an impairment write-off of
$3,976,000 was recognized in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1996.

On May 1, 1995, TBAC-Canterbury, Inc. ("Canterbury"), a
wholly owned subsidiary of Tandy Brands Accessories, Inc.,
acquired substantially all the assets and assumed substantially
all the liabilities of Canterbury Belts, Ltd., and its wholly
owned subsidiary. The assets acquired included, but were not
limited to, accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, trade
names and other intangibles. The cash purchase price was
approximately $4,946,000. Canterbury is a manufacturer and
marketer of leather and fabric belts and suspenders for men and
belts for women and children. Canterbury sells its products
primarily to better specialty stores. The acquisition of
Canterbury has allowed the Company to add a new distribution
channel where it can market better quality, higher margin
products.

On August 30, 1994, H.A. Sheldon Canada Ltd. ("HAS"), a
wholly owned Canadian subsidiary of Tandy Brands Accessories,
Inc., acquired substantially all the assets and assumed
substantially all the liabilities of H.A. Sheldon Inc. The cash
purchase price was $2,550,000. HAS is a manufacturer and
marketer of men's belts, wallets and suspenders, located in
Toronto, Canada.

The Company's merchandising strategy is to provide value to
retailers and to the ultimate consumer through a wide range of
quality products. Accessories' largest selling products are
belts and wallets. Management estimates these items represented
approximately 46%, 48% and 60% of the Company's sales in fiscal
1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Neckwear, men's jewelry,
shaving kits, umbrellas and other gift accessories collectively
accounted for Accessories' remaining sales. Accessories,
Canterbury, HAS, PG and ADG sell their products to a variety of
retail outlets, including national chain stores, discount stores,
major department stores, specialty stores, catalogue retailers
and the retail exchange operations of the United States military.
PG sells primarily women's belts and small leather accessories.
ADG's largest selling category is belts, followed by button
covers, hosiery, hair goods, evening accessories and various
other fashion accessories.

Accessories manufactures and markets its leather goods
primarily under the labels HICKOK, GREG NORMAN, PRINCE
GARDNER, BUGLE BOY, TEX TAN, DUCKS UNLIMITED, DON LOPER of
BEVERLY HILLS, MANHATTAN, FRENCH TOAST, JOHN HENRY, HAGGAR,
REED ST. JAMES, JAMES B. FAIRCHILD and various private store
labels. Although Accessories' leather product lines include
similar types of merchandise, Accessories tailors each line to
appeal to the customer base of the specific channel of
distribution. The HICKOK, BUGLE BOY, MANHATTAN, FRENCH TOAST
and REED ST. JAMES lines are sold principally through national
chain stores and mass merchandisers. The TEX TAN, GREG NORMAN,
PRINCE GARDNER, DUCKS UNLIMITED, DON LOPER of BEVERLY HILLS,
JOHN HENRY, HAGGAR and JAMES B. FAIRCHILD lines are sold
primarily through men's specialty stores and department stores.
TEX TAN and DON LOPER of BEVERLY HILLS goods are also sold to
military retail operations. Neckwear is manufactured and sold
under the labels BARRY WELLS, DUCKS UNLIMITED, LUCARELLI,
RHYNECLIFF, LE-BIL'S, HICKOK, JAMES B. FAIRCHILD, ORLEANS,
CARLOS TOMASSINITM and various private store labels, and is sold
through all of Accessories' channels of distribution. ADG and
PG products are marketed under various labels including PRINCE
GARDNER, PRINCESS GARDNER, JONES NEW YORK, ACCESSORY DESIGN
GROUP and ADG. These products are also licensed under various
private store labels. Canterbury manufactures and markets its
products under the CANTERBURY label. HAS manufactures and
markets its products under the label REED ST. JAMES and various
private store labels.

The Company designs all of its leather products, women's
accessories and neckwear. Generally, new product styles are
introduced each Spring and Fall. Wallets and certain other
accessories are less subject to seasonal tastes and fashion
trends.

In order to reduce its exposure to periods of economic
decline, the Company has diversified its channels of distribution
and increased sales to other mass merchandisers and national
chain and discount stores. Wal-Mart is the Company's largest
customer, representing 35%, 40% and 45% of its total sales for
the fiscal years ended June 30, 1996, 1995 and 1994,
respectively. The Company has no long-term contracts with any of
its customers and all accounts are subject to periodic reviews.
The Company had firm backlog orders for fiscal years 1996 and
1995 totaling $5,056,000 and $3,684,000 respectively. Shipment
of backlog orders in fiscal 1997 is subject to product
availability prior to customer order cancellation dates.

The Company's marketing strategy is to develop and maintain
relationships with its retail accounts by emphasizing service and
product value. The Company's accounts are developed through the
efforts of senior management, regional managers, account
executives and a sales organization of salespeople and
independent sales representatives. Senior management, regional
managers, and account executives are all utilized for
concentrated, specialized selling to national chain stores,
discount stores, major department stores and catalogue retailers.
Salespeople are involved in selling and servicing most account
types and are primarily responsible for selling to specialty
stores.

The Company adjusts the respective percentages of
domestically manufactured and imported products and the sources
of imported products, as appropriate, to reduce labor and
material costs, to diversify its product lines and to reduce
exposure to interruption of its product flow. ADG and PG import
the majority of their product lines from various foreign sources.

The Company's inventory constitutes approximately 46% of
total assets and has historically turned over about twice a year.
This is consistent with other companies in the small leather
goods and accessories industries, with slight variations from
year to year. This rate of turnover is due to the long lead
times associated with the purchase of raw materials to
manufacture belts and the Company's commitment to satisfy
customer's rapid delivery requirements. The major raw materials
for the Company's products are readily available from a variety
of foreign and domestic sources.

The Company's operating results are subject to seasonal
variations as well as the status of the economy. Its sales and
operating results are fairly consistent throughout the fiscal
year, but there is generally a seasonal increase during the
second fiscal quarter. Due to receipt of cash from seasonal sales
peaks and payment terms granted certain customers of Accessories,
cash receipts increases usually occur in December and June.
Current financial resources (working capital and borrowing
arrangements) and anticipated funds from operations are expected
to be adequate to meet capital requirements in the year ahead.

The Company owns the trademarks HICKOK, CANTERBURY, PRINCE
GARDNER, PRINCESS GARDNER, LUCARELLI, RHYNECLIFF, DON LOPER
of BEVERLY HILLS, CARLOS TOMASSINI, ORLEANS, BARRY WELLS, and
LE-BIL'S. The PRINCE GARDNER, PRINCESS GARDNER and
CANTERBURY trade names, as well as various trade names used by
HAS were purchased by the Company through the acquisition
transactions described above. Additionally, the Company holds
licenses to use the JONES NEW YORK, GREG NORMAN, BUGLE BOY,
DUCKS UNLIMITED, MANHATTAN, FRENCH TOAST, JOHN HENRY,
HAGGAR, TEX TAN, REED ST. JAMES, ROBERT BRUCE, and JAMES B.
FAIRCHILD trademarks. Generally, the license agreements require
that the Company pay annual royalties, ranging from 2% to 13%,
based on minimum sales quotas or sales. The terms of the
agreements are typically 4 to 10 years, with options to extend
the terms, provided certain sales or royalty minimums are
achieved. For fiscal 1996, no license agreement sales accounted
for 5% or more of the Company's net sales.

Discontinued Operation

During fiscal year 1995, the Company announced its decision to
dispose of the Always In Style operations. Always In Style was
acquired in November of 1993 for total consideration of
$1,350,000 which included 36,364 shares of Company common stock
and cash. Always In Style was originally acquired by the Company
in an effort to establish a position in the emerging shop-at-home
market. The decision to discontinue Always In Style was made
after a reevaluation of the Company's present position in the
home-TV shopping business.

The consolidated statements of income for fiscal years 1996, 1995
and 1994 exclude sales and expenses of the discontinued operation
from captions applicable to continuing operations. Net sales for
Always In Style were approximately $2,690,000 and $1,190,000 for
the period prior to the measurement date in 1995 and for the year
ended June 30, 1994, respectively. The after-tax loss from
discontinuing Always In Style, including the write-off of
$1,363,000 of goodwill, reduced income by approximately
$3,242,000, or $.62 per share, for the year ending June 30, 1995.

Competition

The market for finished leather goods, neckwear and women's
accessories is fragmented and highly competitive. There are
numerous competitors who serve the same customers and markets as
the Company.

Employees

The Company had approximately 659 employees at June 30,
1996. In the opinion of the Company's management, employee
relations are good. The Company's employees are not subject to a
collective bargaining agreement.


ITEM 2. Properties.

The Company owns and operates a facility in Yoakum, Texas,
which is used for leather product manufacturing, product
distribution and offices. This facility has the capacity to
manufacture approximately 4.0 million belts in a year. During
fiscal 1996, the Company's utilization averaged about 72%. The
Company leases facilities in Little Rock, Arkansas, Scarborough,
Canada, and Dominican Republic which are used for the
manufacturing of neckwear and leather goods, respectively.
Additionally, the Company leases warehouse space in Dallas,
Texas, for ADG and office space in Arlington, Texas, for the
corporate headquarters, ADG and PG. The Company has a renewal
option for its office space in Arlington. In the opinion of
management, the various corporate, ADG, PG, HAS and neckwear
spaces are adequate and suitable for the particular use involved.
The Yoakum, Texas, manufacturing and distribution centers are
considered adequate.

The total space owned, leased and occupied by the Company as
of June 30, l996, was as follows:

Approximate Square Feet
-------------------------------------
Owned Leased Total
--------- ---------- ------------
Warehouse and Office 127,000 107,000 234,000
Factory 63,000 39,000 102,000
-------- -------- --------
Total 190,000 146,000 336,000
