                  Report of Independent Accountants



January 3, 1994


To the Participants and Administrative Committee of the
Color Tile Employees Investment Plan


In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits,
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial status of the Color Tile
Employees Investment Plan at June 30, 1993 and 1992, and the changes in its 
financial status for the years then ended, in conformity with generally 
accepted accounting principles.  These financial statements are the 
responsibility of the Plan's Administrative Committee; our responsibility is to 
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.  We 
conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with generally accepted 
auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain 
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of 
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence 
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing 
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by the Plan's
Administrative Committee, and evaluating the overall financial statement 
presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the 
opinion expressed above.

As explained in Note 3, the financial statements include investments in real 
estate, valued at $25,399,305, whose values have been estimated by the Plan's 
Administrative Committee in accordance with the procedures described in the 
Note.  We have tested the procedures used by the Administrative Committee in 
arriving at their estimate of fair value and have tested underlying 
documentation.  In the circumstances, we believe the procedures are reasonable 
and the documentation appropriate.  Because of the subjectivity inherent in any
estimate of fair value of real estate, and because the real estate related 
assets underlying the Plan's investments are held for long-term operation and 
appreciation and, thus, are not presently for sale, amounts ultimately realized
from the real estate related investments may vary significantly from the fair 
values presented, and the differences could be material to the financial 
statements.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic 
financial statements taken as a whole.  The additional information included in 
Schedules I is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a 
required part of the basic financial statements, but is additional information 
required by ERISA.  Such information has been subjected to the auditing 
procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our 
opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.

Note 1   Description of the Plan

The Color Tile Employees Investment Plan (the "Plan") is a defined contribution 
plan the purpose of which is to provide employees of Color Tile, Inc. (the 
"Company") with a consistent investment program for their retirement and an
opportunity to participate in the long-term growth of the Company.  Each
participant elects to defer between 2% and 5% of their gross salary which is
paid into the Plan as a salary reduction contribution for the account of the
participant.  The Company makes quarterly contributions to the Plan equal to 50%
of the salary reduction contribution of each participant.  Participant are not 
subject to federal income tax on Company contributions to the Plan or any gains 
from investments of the Plan until they make withdrawals from the Plan.

Administration of the Plan is the responsibility of an Administrative Committee
consisting of three individuals appointed by the Company's Board of Directors.

Participants enrolled in the Plan as of January 31, 1989 are fully vested in the
Company contribution portion of their accounts.  Employees who commence
participation in the Plan after January 31, 1989 become 20% vested in the 
Company contribution portion of their account for each year of service with the
Company, and become fully vested after five years of service.

Upon reaching age 59-1/2, upon death or disability, or upon termination of 
employment, the accumulated benefits in a participant's account are to be paid 
to the participant or his beneficiaries either in a lump sum or other mode of 
settlement.  Prior to these events, withdrawals can only be made in a 
financial hardship situation.  An employee may elect a limited withdrawal of 
his Company and voluntary contributions that are not at contributions made 
within twenty-four months preceding the withdrawal.  Voluntary contributions 
are available for withdrawal at any time.  Forfeitures withdrawals occur from 
the nonvested portion of the participants' account value from employer 
contributions.

The above description provides only general information.  Participants should
refer to the Summary Plan Description of the Plan document for a more complete 
explanation of the Plan's provisions.

The Company has the right, under the Plan, to amend or terminate the Plan, 
subject to provisions set forth in the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
of 1974 (ERISA).  Amendment of the Plan may not deprive participants of their 
vested interests or divert Plan assets from the exclusive benefit of the 
participants or their beneficiaries.  In the event of termination or partial 
termination of the Plan, or upon complete discontinuance contributions, the 
accounts of each participant shall be nonforfeitable.  In the event of
termination of the Plan, the assets of the Plan shall be allocated to 
participants and beneficiaries and distributed in accordance with the provisions
of Section 403(d)(2) of ERISA and any regulations promulgated thereunder, 
provided however, the amounts deferred under Section 401(k) of the Code shall 
not be distributed earlier than normal retirement age, death, disability, 
separation from service, hardship or attainment of age 59-1/2.  The Company 
has no intentions of discontinuing the Plan at the present.

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 1993 and 1992

Note 2   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Method of accounting -  The Plan's financial statements are prepared on the 
accrual basis of accounting.

Investment valuation -  All securities investments are stated at fair value 
as determined by quoted prices in an active market.  Investments in real 
estate are stated at estimated fair value (see Note 3).

Rental income -  As of June 30, 1993, all real estate leases are classified as 
operating leases.  The accompanying statements of changes in net assets 
available for benefits reflect rental income on a straight-line basis over the 
term of the lease for all noncancelable future minimum lease payments.  
Additional rental income is contingent upon the lessor's level of sales and 
is recognized only upon the achievement of the defined sales levels.

Income taxes - The U.S. Treasury Department has informed the Administrative 
Committee that the Plan and amendments to the Plan are qualified under 
Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code and is therefore exempt from 
federal income taxes under Section 501(a) of the Code.  The Internal Revenue 
Service granted a favorable letter of determination to Plan in 1986.  However, 
in accordance with Section 501(b), the Plan is subject to income taxes on any 
unrelated trade or business income earned on debt-financed property as defined 
by the Internal Revenue Code.  The income tax expense on the unrelated trade or
business income was $158,351 and $129,338 for the years ended June 30, 1993 and
1992, respectively, and was recorded as a liability of the Plan during the 
respective fiscal years.

Contributions and deposits - Participants' deposits and the matching Company
contributions are recorded in the period that the participants' deposits are 
withheld from their compensation.  Matching Company contributions are calculated
assuming participants are 100% vested.  Upon termination or withdrawal of a less
than 100% vested participant, the nonvested portion of the Company contribution
is applied towards future Company contributions.

Benefits - The Plan recognizes benefits payable to participants at the point 
the benefit has been paid.  Form 5500 recognizes benefits payable as a 
liability to the Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits.  Benefits 
payable for claims processed and approved for payment by the Plan at June 30, 
1993 and 1992 are $935,714 and $1,501,050, respectively.

Expenses of the Plan - Costs incurred in purchasing, selling and valuation of 
securities or other assets of the Plan are paid for by the Plan.  All other 
expenses, including accounting, clerical, reporting, printing and postage, are
paid by the Company.

                              $ 22,475,032  $ 27,306,240  $ 22,356,015  $ 26,748,933

In fiscal year 1993, the Plan financed the construction of a retail store which 
is leased to the Company under a long-term noncancelable lease.  Total 
capitalized costs of the store amounted to $1,225,000, which approximates its
fair market value.  

The investment in the real estate is primarily determined using the income 
capitalization approach. Under this method, the present value of the future 
minimum rent under the lease term, including renewal options, estimated 
percentage rent and estimated residual value of land has been discounted to 
obtain the present worth or current value of the properties.  The Administrative
Committee believes the Company's valuation technique represents a good faith 
estimate of the fair value of the properties.

Note 4   Gains and Losses on Investments

The Plan realized a gain of $270,162 on the sale of Color Tile, Inc.'s 12-3/8% 
senior notes for the year ended June 30, 1992.  

The net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in securities was 
$334,708 and ($136,927) for the year ended June 30, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
The net change in unrealized appreciation of real estate was $103,582 for the 
year ended June 30, 1993.

Draw on line of credit agreement; $500,000
     credit line ($200,000 unused at June 30,
     1993) bearing interest at the Citibank
     prime rate plus 1/2%; the line of credit 
     matures in October 1994; secured by
     23,756 shares of Tandy Corporation
     common stock                                  300,000         -

</TABLE>

The 14.5% and 14% notes are subject to additional interest in excess of the 
stated rates.  The additional interest is equal to the contingent rental amounts
(Note 6) paid on the real estate which collateralizes the notes and totaled 
$406,662 and $417,481 for the years ended June 30, 1993 and 1992, respectively.

In addition to the above notes, the Plan has available a $500,000 line of credit
from which no amount has been drawn at June 30, 1993.  In August 1993, the Plan 
renewed this $500,000 line of credit and drew down $500,000 to fund payments for
participant withdrawals and terminations. The outstanding balance on the line of
credit bears interest at the Citibank prime rate plus one percent.  The line of
credit matures in August 1994 and is secured by 37,100 shares of Tandy 
Corporation common stock.

or withdrawal is calculated as the previous quarter's ending total units 
divided into the current quarter's ending net assets.  The total number of 
units allocated and the net asset value per unit for each of the following 
quarters, as calculated by the Plan, are:
