TANDY BRANDS ACCESSORIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

FORM 10-K

PART I

What do we do?

      We are a leading designer, manufacturer and marketer of branded men’s, women’s and children’s accessories, including belts and small leather goods, such as wallets. Our product line also includes handbags, socks, scarves, gloves, hats, hair accessories, suspenders, cold weather accessories and sporting goods accessories. We market our merchandise under a broad portfolio of nationally recognized licensed and proprietary brand names, including Dockers®, Levi’s®, Levi Strauss Signature^TM, Jones New York®, Rolfs®, Haggar®, Woolrich®, Jordache®, Bugle Boy®, Canterbury®, Prince Gardner®, Princess Gardner®, Amity®, Accessory Design Group® and Tiger®, as well as private brands for major retail customers. We sell our products to a variety of retail outlets, including mass merchants, national chain stores, major department stores, men’s and women’s specialty stores, catalog retailers, grocery stores, drug stores, golf pro shops, sporting goods stores and the retail exchange operations of the United States military.

      In addition, we recently entered the men’s neckwear business, utilizing a direct-to-retailer sales model. We plan to design and promote men’s neckties which will be manufactured overseas and shipped directly to our retail customers in the United States, allowing our pricing to be very competitive compared to established neckwear suppliers. We also recently acquired Superior Merchandise Company. Through this acquisition, which was completed on July 1, 2004, we have added gift accessories to our product line that we will sell under the ETON® and licensed totes® brands.

What are our product lines?

Fiscal 2004 Product Line Sales (as a % of net sales)		Our primary products consist of belts and small leather goods, such as wallets, which accounted for approximately 54.6% and 21.1% of our net sales for fiscal 2004, respectively. Our other products include women’s handbags, socks, scarves, gloves, hats, hair accessories, suspenders, cold weather accessories, sporting goods accessories, and other fashion accessories. Collectively, these other products accounted for the remaining 24.3% of our net sales in fiscal 2004.      To facilitate our internal operations as well as our customer relationships, our products are generally organized along men’s and women’s product lines. As a result, we have two reportable segments: (1) men’s accessories and (2) women’s accessories. Men’s and boys’ products accounted for approximately 52.7% of net sales during fiscal
2004, and women’s and girls’ products accounted for approximately 47.3% of net sales during the same period. Financial information regarding our operations and assets by segment appears on page 32 of our 2004 Annual Report to Stockholders, and is incorporated herein by reference.

      We, along with our predecessors, have been manufacturing and marketing belts for over 70 years, and belts remain our largest single product category, representing approximately 54.6%, 53.1% and 55.2% of net sales in fiscal 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. We compete in all four categories of the belt market: casual, work, dress and fashion. In fiscal 2004, we manufactured approximately 31.6% of the men’s belts we distributed and imported the balance, including all women’s belts, from China, Guatemala and various other countries.

Table of Contents

Fiscal 2004 Belt Sales		Men’s belt sales increased by $6.3 million during 2004, but women’s belt sales decreased by $8 million during the same period, resulting in an overall decrease of $1.7 million, or 1.4%, in our total belt sales compared to fiscal 2003. The decrease in women’s belt sales was due to downward pressure on inventory replenishment by mass merchant customers and competitive market pressures. In fiscal 2004, sales of men’s and boys’ belts represented $87.2 million, or 74.2% of total belt sales, and women’s and girls’ belts represented $30.4 million, or 25.8% of total belt sales.

Fiscal 2004 Small Leather Goods Sales		Our small leather goods consist primarily of men’s and women’s wallets sold under licensed, private and proprietary brands. Our small leather goods are primarily sourced from manufacturers in foreign countries, such as China, due to the labor-intensive nature of manufacturing small leather goods and the relatively low cost of labor in those countries. Sales of small leather goods accounted for approximately $45.3 million, or 21.1% of our net sales in fiscal 2004. Sales of small leather goods accounted for approximately 19.8% and 21.0% of our net sales in fiscal 2003 and 2002, respectively.

      In fiscal 2004, sales of men’s and boys’ small leather goods represented $18.3 million, or 40.4% of total small leather goods sales, and women’s and girls’ small leather goods represented $27.0 million, or 59.6% of our total small leather goods sales.

      In addition to belts and small leather goods, we distribute accessories such as women’s handbags, socks, scarves, gloves, hats, hair accessories, men’s suspenders and sporting goods accessories. These products are marketed under certain of our proprietary brands, licensed brands and private brands. These other accessories complement our core belt and small leather goods products. We purchase all of our other accessory items, which are manufactured according to our design specifications, from foreign and domestic sources. In fiscal 2004, our sales of other accessories totaled $52.5 million, or 24.3% of our net sales. Sales of other accessories accounted for 27.1% and 23.8% of our net sales in fiscal 2003 and 2002, respectively.

What brands do we sell?

Fiscal 2004 Brand Sales (as a % of net sales)		Our brand sales consist of licensed brands, private brands and proprietary brands which accounted for approximately 8.1%, 57.5% and 34.4% of our net sales for fiscal 2004, respectively.

      We have been awarded exclusive license agreements for several well recognized brands, including Dockers®, Levi’s®, Levi Strauss Signature^TM, Jones New York®, Bugle Boy®, Haggar®, Woolrich® and Jordache®. Through our acquisition of Superior Merchandise Company on July 1, 2004 we have also acquired an exclusive license agreement for totes® gift accessories.

Table of Contents

      Generally, our license agreements cover specific products and require us to pay annual royalties, ranging from 2% to 8% of net sales, based on minimum sales quotas or sales. The terms of the agreements are typically four to ten years, with options to extend the terms, provided certain sales or royalty minimums are achieved. For fiscal 2004, sales of our licensed products accounted for approximately $17.5 million, or 8.1% of our net sales, with no sales associated with any individual license agreement accounting for more than 5% of net sales.

      In fiscal 2004, private brand products accounted for approximately $123.9 million, or 57.5% of our net sales. In a private brand program we are responsible for designing, manufacturing and delivering unique products for select customers according to the customer’s individual requirements. These programs offer our customers exclusivity and pricing control over their products, both of which are important factors in the retail marketplace. We believe our flexible sourcing capabilities, advanced electronic inventory management and replenishment systems, and design, product development and merchandising expertise provide retailers with a superior alternative to direct sourcing of their private brand products. Our principal private brand programs include those for leading retailers such as:

	•	Wal-Mart;
	•	Target;
	•	JCPenney;
	•	Sears; and
	•	Payless ShoeSource.

      Our principal private brand programs also include nationally recognized private brand names such as:

	•	Farah®;
	•	Faded Glory®;
	•	Meeting Street®;
	•	No Boundaries®;
	•	St. John’s Bay®;
	•	Xhilaration®;
	•	Mossimo®; and
	•	Cherokee®.

      In addition to our licensed and private brands, we produce and market products under our own registered trademarks and trade names. We own leading and well recognized trademarks such as Rolfs®, Amity®, Canterbury®, Tiger®, Accessory Design Group®, Prince Gardner®, Princess Gardner®, and, through our acquisition of Superior Merchandise Company on July 1, 2004, the ETON® brand. We intend to build on the success of our proprietary brand portfolio by pursuing additional ownership opportunities and expanding the assortment of products we offer and the retail channels we serve with our proprietary brands. Net sales under our proprietary brands were approximately $74.0 million, or 34.4% of our net sales in fiscal 2004.

Who are our customers?

      We maintain strong relationships with various major retailers in the United States and Canada, including the following:

      For fiscal 2004 and 2003, Wal-Mart accounted for 36.7% and 35.6% of our net sales, respectively, and Target accounted for 14.0% and 15.4%, respectively. No other customer accounted for 10% or more of our total revenues. In fiscal 2004, our top ten customers accounted for approximately 73.4% of net sales. A decision by Wal-Mart, Target or any other significant customer, whether motivated by competitive conditions, financial difficulties or otherwise, to decrease the amount of merchandise purchased from us or to change their manner of doing business with us could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.

How do we maintain strong customer relations?

      We believe our success is due in large part to our strong customer relationships, strong sales and marketing organization and superior customer service. Factors which help facilitate these characteristics include our “quick response” distribution, vendor inventory management services, electronic data interchange capabilities and expertise in the communication of fashion and lifestyle concepts through product lines and innovative point-of-sale presentations. We develop and manage our accounts through the coordinated efforts of senior management, regional managers, account executives and an organization of salespeople and independent sales representatives. Members of our senior management or senior account executives manage our relationships with certain of our national accounts such as Wal-Mart, Shopko, Kohl’s, Dillard’s, JCPenney, Sears, Meijer’s and Target.

      We maintain in-store customer service relationships with various specialty stores, national chain stores and major department stores. We have a team of more than 141 sales associates in the United States and approximately 10 sales associates in Canada. These sales associates are organized on a regional basis and supervised by regional sales managers. Sales associates are responsible for overseeing accounts within a defined geographic territory, developing and maintaining business relationships with their respective customers, preparing and conducting line presentations, and assisting customers in the implementation of programs at the individual store level. In addition, sales associates may, depending on the needs of an individual customer, assist in the maintenance and presentation of merchandise on the selling floor. Our regional sales organization is supported by account executives. Sales personnel, other than senior managers, generally are compensated based on a combination of salary and commission.

Did we have firm backlog orders for fiscal 2004 and the prior fiscal year?

      We had firm backlog orders at June 30, 2004 and 2003, totaling $10,258,000 and $9,593,000, respectively. Our backlog orders are fairly consistent throughout the year with a seasonal increase during the first and second quarter. Generally, whether we can fill our backlog orders is dependent on product availability. Historically, the amount of unfilled backlog orders has been immaterial. The backlog at June 30, 2004 may not be indicative of future results.

How do we merchandise and develop our products?

      Senior managers are responsible for generating profitable performance results by developing, planning, selling and implementing merchandise programs for their accounts. Individual senior managers develop and maintain business relationships with customers’ buyers and merchandise managers. Senior managers also develop and propose comprehensive programs relating to product mix, pricing and fixturing and they assist customers’ buyers and merchandise managers in the implementation of these programs. We coordinate the implementation of marketing programs through the efforts of senior and regional managers. Senior and regional managers are compensated based on a combination of salary and bonus tied to various measures of profitability and sales performance.

      Our product development and merchandising professionals work closely with our customers, suppliers and licensors to interpret market trends, develop new products and create and implement comprehensive merchandising programs which consist of packaging, point-of-sale fixturing and presentation materials. We believe our ability to design all of our products internally represents a significant competitive advantage because retail customers have become increasingly reliant on the design and merchandising expertise of their suppliers.

What is our competitive position?

      Competition in the fashion accessories industry is intense. The accessories market is highly fragmented, and management believes we are one of the largest competitors in the accessories industry. Based on our analysis, we have found that the sectors of the accessories industry we serve have grown at an average annual rate of 3-5% in recent years. In our opinion, this growth has resulted from:

	•	the trend toward more casual attire, which has increased demand for accessories outside the traditional dress category;
	•	increased consumer awareness of branded accessories as a fashion and lifestyle statement; and
	•	a desire for newness and change in accessories styles.

      As a result of recent consolidation in the retail industry, retailers have increasingly chosen to consolidate their supply bases to a core group of companies that have the resources and expertise to meet the retailers’ increasing demands. We believe we are well positioned to continue to capitalize on these market trends.

      Our ability to remain competitive depends largely on our ability to maintain our customer relationships, create new designs and products and offer high quality merchandise at competitive prices. The following table summarizes our primary competitors:

      We compete on the basis of customer service, brand recognition, product quality and price. We believe our ability to compete successfully is based on our strong customer relationships, superior customer service,

How do we seek to grow our business?

      We seek increased sales and earnings through a variety of means, including increased sales through our current operating units, as well as growth through the acquisition of assets and similar businesses. Since our incorporation in Delaware on November 1, 1990, we have acquired numerous businesses. Over the last three years, we made the following acquisitions:

Where and how do we manufacture our products?

      Our manufacturing facilities are located in Yoakum, Texas, and Scarborough, Ontario. These facilities have the capacity to manufacture approximately 5.8 million belts per year. During fiscal 2004, our manufacturing facilities operated at approximately 97% of capacity. We continually seek to increase the automation of our manufacturing operations. We believe we are one of the lowest-cost domestic belt producers because of our automated equipment, large production volumes and economies of scale in raw materials and finished goods sourcing.

      In fiscal 2004, we sourced certain finished products representing approximately 85% of our net sales from outside manufacturers, both domestic and foreign. We have strong relationships with a number of high quality, low-cost foreign manufacturers who provide particularly labor-intensive products, such as small leather goods, manufactured to our specifications.

      Our transactions with our foreign manufactures and suppliers are subject to the risks of doing business abroad. Imports into the United States (both finished goods and raw materials) are affected by, among other things, the cost of transportation, and imposition of import duties and restrictions. The United States, Canada, China and other countries in which our products are manufactured may, from time to time, impose new quotas, tariffs or other restrictions, or adjust presently prevailing quotas, duty or tariff levels, which could affect our operations and our ability to import products at current or increased levels. We cannot predict the likelihood or frequency of any such events occurring.

      Financial information regarding our net revenues, total assets and property, plant and equipment, by geographic location, appears on page 33 of our Annual Report to Stockholders, and is incorporated herein by reference.

To what extent is our business seasonal?

      Our quarterly sales and net income results are fairly consistent throughout the fiscal year, with a seasonal increase during the first and second quarter.

What are the sources and availability of our raw materials?

      Our raw materials requirements are limited to materials used in the manufacture of men’s belts, as this is the only product we manufacture ourselves. These raw materials consist primarily of leather hides and hardware, such as buckles, and are readily available from a variety of foreign and domestic sources. As a result, we have not experienced any significant disruption of product flow based on our raw materials needs.

Table of Contents

Are we subject to governmental regulations?

      Many of our products are manufactured in countries other than the United States. Accordingly, those countries and the United States may from time to time modify existing quotas, duties, tariffs, or import restrictions, or otherwise regulate or restrict imports in a manner which could be material and adverse to us. In addition, economic and political disruptions in Asia and other parts of the world from which we import goods could have an adverse effect on our ability to maintain an uninterrupted flow of products to our major customers.

      Due to the fact that we sell our products to retail exchange operations of the United States military, and thus are a supplier to the federal government, we must comply with all federal statutes applicable to federal government suppliers. Historically, we have not made any material modifications or accommodations as a result of government regulations.

How many employees do we have?

      We had approximately 1,224 employees as of June 30, 2004. We believe employee relations are generally good.

What role does intellectual property play in our business?

      We believe our trademarks, our licenses to use certain trademarks and our other proprietary rights in and to intellectual property are important to our success and our competitive position and we seek to protect our intellectual property rights against infringement. Specifically, we seek to protect our interests not only in our brands but in our designs as well. We devote considerable resources to the establishment and protection of our intellectual property on a nationwide basis and in selected foreign markets. Our trademarks remain valid and enforceable as long as the marks are used in connection with our products and services and the required registration renewals are filed.

What are our working capital practices?

      We do not enter into long-term agreements with any of our customers. Instead, we enter into a number of purchase order commitments with our customers for each of our lines every season. Due to the production time required by our foreign suppliers to produce and ship goods to our distribution centers, we attempt, based on internal estimates, to carry on hand inventory levels necessary for the timely shipment of initial shipment and replenishment orders of men’s and women’s accessories to our customers. A decision by the customer buyer of a group of stores or any significant customer, whether motivated by competitive conditions, financial difficulties or otherwise, to significantly change the amount of merchandise purchased from us, or to change the customer buyer’s manner of doing business with us, may have a significant effect on our financial condition and results of operations. However, this exposure is mitigated in that we sell our products to a variety of retail partners throughout the United States and Canada.

How many common stockholders do we have?

      As of September 17, 2004, we had approximately 857 common stockholders of record.

Did we declare any cash dividends in fiscal 2004 or the prior fiscal year?

      While we did not declare any dividends in fiscal 2003, on August 12, 2003, our board of directors declared the company’s first quarterly dividend. During fiscal 2004, we declared and paid dividends as set forth in the following table:

      We expect quarterly dividends will continue to be paid in fiscal 2005. On August 12, 2004, our board of directors declared a dividend of $0.0275 per share payable to stockholders of record as of September 30, 2004. The payment of the dividend will occur on October 19, 2004. The payment of dividends in the future will be at the sole discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our profitability, financial condition, capital needs, future prospects, contractual restrictions and other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors.

How many shares of common stock are authorized for issuance under our equity compensation plans?

      The following table provides information regarding the number of shares of our common stock that may be issued on exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants under our existing equity compensation plans as of June 30, 2004. These plans are as follows:

	•	the Stock Purchase Program; and
	•	nonqualified stock option agreements with certain non-employee directors.

(3)	Includes 395,031 shares of common stock issuable under the 2002 Omnibus Plan and 27,625 shares of common stock issuable under the 1995 Stock Deferral Plan for Non-Employee Directors. Upon adoption of the 2002 Omnibus Plan by our stockholders at our 2002 annual stockholders’ meeting, the number of shares authorized and reserved for issuance under our previously existing stock option plans were transferred to the 2002 Omnibus Plan and are presently authorized and reserved for issuance under that plan. All shares of common stock authorized and reserved for issuance on the exercise of outstanding stock options under our previous stock option plans and the 2002 Omnibus Plan will, on the cancellation or expiration of any such stock options, automatically be authorized and reserved for issuance under the 2002 Omnibus Plan.

The Stock Purchase Program was approved by our stockholders in December 1990; however, subsequent amendments to increase the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the Stock Purchase Program were not required to be approved by our stockholders and therefore were not submitted to our stockholders for approval. The Stock Purchase Program is open to all full-time employees who are enrolled in the Tandy Brands Accessories, Inc. Employees Investment Plan. Under the Stock Purchase Program, participants may contribute 5% or 10% of their earnings and we match 25% or 50% of each participant’s contribution depending on their length of employment. The Stock Purchase Program purchases treasury stock, if available, or unissued common stock directly from the company at monthly average market prices. The participant’s shares are fully vested upon purchase and the participant may withdraw from the Stock Purchase Program at any time. The shares purchased under the Stock Purchase Program are distributed to participants annually.
