                    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.

Options granted to an optionee under the Plan shall be either "incentive stock
options" within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1996,
as amended, or nonqualified options.

     Section 2. Purpose. The purpose of the Plan is to strengthen the ability of
the Company (as hereinafter defined) to attract and retain senior executives and
other key employees by providing a means for officers, management and other key
employees of the Company to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company and a
direct participation in the growth of the Company through ownership of common
stock of Tandy Brands Accessories, Inc. The Plan will furnish additional
incentive to those persons responsible for the successful management of the
Company, and thereby serve as an incentive for long and short-term management
objectives intended to enhance stockholders' investments in the Company.

     Exchange Act) and who are also "outside directors" (as that term is defined
     under Section 162(m) of the Code and such Treasury regulations as may be
     promulgated thereunder). All members of the Committee will serve at the
     pleasure of the Board.

             next preceding day on which there was a sale of Stock; or

                 (ii) if the price for the Stock is not reported in the manner
             described in subsection (i) above, Fair Market Value shall be
             determined by the Committee.

             (c) The determination of the Committee on all matters relating to
     the Plan or any Stock Option Agreement shall be conclusive.

     Section 5. Eligibility.

             (a) Options may be granted only to employees of the Company who are
     officers or persons whose principal duties consist of supervising the work
     of other employees of the Company or who are otherwise key employees of the
     Company. A director, as such, shall not be considered an officer or
     employee for purposes of the Plan, but a person otherwise eligible to
     participate in the Plan shall not be disqualified by virtue of being a
     director of the Company. Neither the members of the Committee nor any
     member of the Board who is not an employee shall be eligible under the
     Plan.

             (b) No Incentive Stock Option may be granted to any individual who
     owns (subject to applicable ownership attribution rules of Section 424(d)
     of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder) Stock possessing
     ten percent (10%) or more of the total combined voting power or value of
     all classes of stock of Tandy Brands Accessories, Inc. or of any Parent (as
     such term is defined in Section 424(c) of the Code) or Subsidiary.

             (c) In selecting individual employees to whom Options shall be
     granted as well as in determining the number of shares of Stock subject to,
     and the conditions, type, terms and provisions of, each Option, the
     Committee shall seem such factors as are relevant to accomplish the purpose
     of the Plan as stated in Section 2.

     Section 6. Stock Available Under the Plan.

             (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 11 of this Plan the
     aggregate number of shares of Stock for which Options may be granted under
     the Plan shall not exceed 300,000 shares. The shares to be delivered upon
     exercise of Options shall be made available, at the discretion of the
     Committee, either from the authorized but unissued shares or from
     previously issued and reacquired shares of Stock held by the Company as
     treasury shares.

             (b) If an Option granted under this Plan shall expire or terminate
     unexercised as to any shares covered thereby, such shares shall thereafter
     be available for the granting of other Options under this Plan.

     Section 7. Terms and Conditions of Options. Each Option granted under the
Plan shall be evidenced by a Stock Option Agreement in such form not
inconsistent with the Plan as the Committee shall determine provided that such
Stock Option Agreement clearly and separately identifies Incentive Stock Options
and Nonqualified Options and that the substance of the following terms and
conditions shall be included therein:

             (a) Exercise Price. The price at which each share of Stock covered
     by such Option may be purchased shall be determined by the Committee and
     shall not be less than One Hundred Percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value
     of the Stock on the Date of Grant.

             (b) Nontransferable. The portion of the Option that is an Incentive
     Stock Option and any right related thereto shall not be transferable by the
     optionee otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.
     The portion of an Option that is an Incentive Stock Option may be
     exercised, during the optionee's lifetime, only by the optionee or by the
     optionee's duly appointed guardian or personal representative. The portion
     of an Option that is a Nonqualified Option may be transferred subject to
     the Plan and the Stock Option Agreement evidencing such Option. In such
     case, references herein to the optionee shall include a permitted
     transferee.

             (c) Exercise of Option. Subject to subsections (e) and (f) below,
             the Option and any right related thereto, if exercisable by the
             optionee, may be exercised (subject however, to the provisions of
             Section 9) only if the optionee has been an employee of the Company
             at all times during the period beginning with the Date of Grant of
             the Option and ending on the day three (3) months before the date
             of such exercise; provided however, that in the case of an optionee
             who terminates employment with the Company due to total and
             permanent disability, the three (3) months shall be extended to
             twelve (12) months. Upon the retirement of any optionee, the
             Committee may in its discretion accelerate the dates at which
             remaining installments of Options may be exercised to the date of
             retirement, Options granted to an employee under the Plan shall not
             be affected by any change of duties or position so long as the
             optionee continues to be an employee of the Company.

             (d) Term of Options. No Option shall be exercisable after the
     expiration of ten (10) years from its Date of Grant.

             (e) Death of Optionee. In the event of the death of an optionee
     while the optionee is in the employ of the Company, any Option then held by
     the optionee shall be exercisable only within the twelve (12) months next
     succeeding such death, and then only by the executor or administrator of
     the optionee's estate or by the person or persons to whom the optionee's
     rights under the Option shall pass by the optionee's will or the laws of
     descent and distribution; provided that in no event shall an Option be
     exercisable more than ten (10) years after the Date or Grant.

             (f) Termination for Cause. In the event that any optionee shall be
     dismissed from the employ of the Company for any reason which, in the
     opinion of the Board (or 


                                      A-4
<PAGE>   5

     the Committee if so authorized by the Board), shall constitute good cause
     for dismissal, any Option held by such person at such time shall
     automatically terminate as of such dismissal. The decision of the Board (or
     the Committee if so acting) as to what shall constitute good cause for
     dismissal shall be final and binding upon all concerned.

             (g) Execution of Stock Option Agreement. After the effective date
     of the Plan (as set forth hereinafter), the Committee may grant Options
     pursuant to the Plan at any time. Within thirty (30) days after the Date of
     Grant, the Company shall notify the optionee of the grant of the Option,
     and submit to the optionee a Stock Option Agreement duly executed by and on
     behalf of the Company, with the request that the optionee execute and
     return the Stock Option Agreement within thirty (30) days thereafter. If
     the optionee shall fail to return the executed Stock Option Agreement
     within such thirty (30) day period, such person's Option shall
     automatically terminate.

     Section 8. Limitation on Incentive Stock Options.

             (a) Limitation on Grant. The aggregate Fair Market Value
     (determined as of the Date of Grant) of Stock with respect to which
     Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by an optionee
     during any calendar year (under all such plans of the optionee's employer
     corporation and its parent and subsidiary corporations) shall not exceed
     One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000). In the event the limits of this
     Section 8(a) would otherwise be exceeded, such Option to the extent of such
     excess, shall be deemed to be a Nonqualified Option.

             (b) Limitation on Disposition. To maintain special tax treatment
     for Incentive Stock Options, an optionee may not dispose of the Stock
     acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option within two
     (2) years from the Date of Grant nor within one (1) year after the optionee
     receives the Stock following exercise of the Incentive Stock Option. This
     limitation on disposal does not apply to Stock acquired pursuant to the
     exercise of an Incentive Stock Option after an optionee's death by his or
     her estate or heirs, as applicable, or to Stock acquired by the optionee
     pursuant to the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option prior to his or her
     death.

     Section 9. Exercise of Options and Payment.

             (a) Periods of Exercise. An Option shall be exercisable in whole or
     in part at such times as may be determined by the Committee and stated in
     the Stock Option Agreement; provided that no Option shall be exercisable
     before the first anniversary of the Date of Grant (except in the event of
     death, total and permanent disability or a Change of Control as set forth
     herein), and no Option shall be exercisable after the tenth (10th)
     anniversary of the Date of Grant. The Committee shall have the authority to
     prescribe upon the granting of an Option the schedule under which Options
     will become exercisable by each optionee and the conditions of any such
     exercise. Except as provided in Section 7, to the extent that any
     installment of an Option has become exercisable it may be exercised
     thereafter, until termination of the Option, in whole or in part at any
     time or from time to time.



                                      A-5
<PAGE>   6

             (b) Notice of Exercise. An Option shall be exercised by written
     notice of exercise, in the form prescribed by the Committee, delivered to
     the Company in such manner as the Committee may designate. The notice shall
     specify the number of shares for which the Option is being exercised and
     whether the Option being exercised is an Incentive Stock Option or a
     Nonqualified Option. Each such exercise shall be irrevocable when given.

             (c) Payment. Payment for the shares shall be either in cash or, at
     the election of the optionee and subject to the approval of the Committee,
     by the delivery of Stock already owned by the optionee having an aggregate
     fair market value equal to the number of shares with respect to which such
     Option is exercised multiplied by the exercise price per share, or a
     combination of cash and Stock as the Committee may in its discretion
     approve; provided, that the Committee may, in the Stock Option Agreement,
     impose whatever restrictions it deems necessary or desirable with respect
     to the payment for shares by the delivery of Stock already owned by the
     optionee. The fair market value of Stock delivered in payment of the Option
     price shall be determined in the same manner as set forth in Section 3(h),
     except that such determination shall be made on the date of exercise of the
     Option. An Option shall be deemed exercised an the date such payment and
     the written notice of exercise contemplated by subsection (b) above are
     received by the Secretary of the Company.

             (d) Issuance of Certificates. An Option shall be exercisable for
     the purchase of shares of Stock only upon payment to the Company of the
     full purchase price of the Stock with respect to which the Option is
     exercised as provided elsewhere herein. However, the Company shall not be
     required to issue or deliver any certificates for shares of Stock purchased
     upon the exercise of an Option prior to: (i) the obtaining of any approval
     from any governmental agency which the Company shall, in its sole
     discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable; (ii) the completion of
     any registration or other qualification of such shares under any state or
     federal law or ruling or regulation of any governmental body which the
     Company shall, in its sole discretion, determine to be necessary or
     advisable; and (iii) the determination by the Committee that the optionee
     has tendered to the Company any federal, state or local tax owed by the
     optionee as a result of exercising the Option, when the Company has or may
     have a legal liability to satisfy such tax. In addition, if Stock reserved
     for issuance upon the exercise of Options shall not then be registered
     under the Securities Act of 1933, the Company may, upon exercise of an
     Option, require the holder thereof to represent in writing that the shares
     being acquired are for investment and not with a view to distribution
     thereof, and may mark the certificate(s) for the shares with a legend
     restricting transfer and may issue stop transfer orders relating to such
     certificate(s) to the transfer agent. The Company shall not be liable for
     damages due to delay in the issuance or delivery of any stock certificate
     for any reason whatsoever. Furthermore, the Company shall not be liable to
     any optionee for refusing to deliver shares of Stock if such refusal is
     based upon the provisions of this Section 9(d).

             (e) Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue
     any fractional shares upon exercise of any Option, but in lieu thereof the
     Company shall pay 


                                      A-6
<PAGE>   7

     cash equal to the same fraction of the fair market value of one share of
     Stock (determined as provided in Section 3(h) on the date such Option is
     exercised).

     Section 10. Other Conditions.

             (a) Nothing contained in the Plan, any Option or any Stock Option
     Agreement shall confer upon any optionee any right with respect to
     continuance of employment by the Company, nor interfere in any way with the
     right of the Company to terminate the optionee's employment at will or
     change the optionee's compensation at any time.

             (b) No holder of an Option shall, by virtue of holding such Option,
     be entitled to any rights of a stockholder in the Company.

             (c) An optionee shall not be considered a record holder of any
     shares of Stock purchased pursuant to the exercise of an Option for any
     purpose until the date on which such Stock is registered in such optionee's
     name upon the stock records of the Company.

     Section 11. Adjustments Upon Changes in Stock.

             (a) In the event that the outstanding shares of Stock are hereafter
     increased or decreased or changed into or exchanged for a different number
     of shares or kind of shares or other securities of the Company or of
     another corporation, by reason of reorganization, merger, consolidation,
     recapitalization, reclassification, stock split, combination of shares, or
     a dividend payable in Stock, the number and kind of shares reserved for
     issuance under the Plan, but not yet covered by an Option, shall be
     automatically adjusted to reflect such change. In addition, there shall be
     an appropriate adjustment in the number and kind of shares then subject to
     any Option, to the end that the optionee's proportionate interest shall be
     maintained as before the occurrence of such event, and such adjustment of
     outstanding Options shall be made with a corresponding adjustment in the
     exercise price per share; provided, however, that each such adjustment in
     the number and kind of shares subject to outstanding Options, including any
     adjustment in the exercise price, shall be made in such manner as not to
     constitute a modification as defined in Section 425 of the Code. The
     determination of any adjustment by the Committee shall be conclusive.

             (b) The grant of an Option shall not affect in any way the right or
     power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassifications,
     reorganizations or changes of its capital or business structure or to merge
     or to consolidate or to dissolve, liquidate, sell, or transfer all or any
     part of its business or assets

     Section 12. Changes of Control; Acceleration of Right to Exercise.

             (a) Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or any Stock Option
     Agreement to the contrary, in the event a Change of Control occurs, each
     Option shall become exercisable, during the period beginning on the date of
     the occurrence of such Change of Control and ending on the sixtieth (60th)
     day following such date, for the purchase of the full number of shares of
     Stock subject to such Option.

             (b) "Change of Control" shall mean the occurrence of any of the
     following events:

             (i) any "person" or "group" of persons, as such terms are used in
     Sections 13 and 14 of the Exchange Act, other than any employee benefit
     plan sponsored by the Company, becomes the "beneficial owner", as such term
     is used in Section 13 of the Exchange Act, of thirty percent (30%) or more
     of the outstanding shares of the Company's stock entitled to vote for the
     election of directors; or

             (ii) any shares of any class of the Company's stock are purchased

             (a) The Board may at any time terminate the Plan or make such
     amendments thereto as it shall deem advisable and in the best interests of
     the Company, without further action on the part of the stockholders of the
     Company, provided, however, that no such termination or amendment shall,
     without the consent of the individual to whom any Option shall theretofore
     have been granted, affect or impair the rights of such individual under
     such Option, and provided, further, any amendment shall be approved by the
     Stockholders of the Company if the amendment would:

             (1) increase the number of shares for which Incentive Stock Options
     may be issued under the Plan; or

             (2) modify the requirements as to eligibility to receive Incentive
     Stock Options under the Plan.

             (b) No Options shall be granted under the Plan after ten (10) years
     from the effective date of the Plan.

     Section 14. Effective Date.

     This Plan shall become effective immediately upon adoption by the Board;
provided, however, no Option shall constitute an Incentive Stock Option unless
the Plan is approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding
shares of the Company present and entitled to vote at a meeting of the
stockholders at which a quorum is present within one (1) year before or after
the Plan's approval by the Board. If the required stockholder approval is not
received within such time period, any Incentive Stock Options awarded in the
intervening period shall be 


                                      A-8
<PAGE>   9

deemed to be Nonqualified Options. The Board shall not adopt the plan until
advised by counsel that all other applicable legal requirements incident to the
establishment and operation of the Plan have been complied with.

     Section 15. No Liability for Good Faith Determinations. Neither the members
of the Board nor any member of the Committee shall be liable for any act,
omission or determination taken or made in good faith with respect to the Plan
or any Option.

     Section 16. No Obligation to Exercise Option.

     The granting of an Option shall impose no obligation on the optionee to
exercise such Option.

     Section 17. Restrictions Applicable to Named Executive Officers.

     The provisions of this Section 17 shall apply only to those executive
officers (i) whose compensation is required to be reported in the Company's
proxy statement pursuant to Item 402(a)(3)(i) and (ii) (or any successor
thereto) of Regulation S-K (or any successor thereto) under the general rules
and regulations under the Exchange Act and (ii) whose total compensation is
determined by the Board to possibly be subject to the limitations on deductions
imposed by Section 162(m) of the Code ("Named Executive Officers"). In the event
of any inconsistencies between this Section 17 and the other Plan provisions as
they pertain to Named Executive Officers, the provisions of this Section 17
shall control.

             (a) No amendment of this Plan with respect to any Named Executive
     Officer may be made which would (i) increase the maximum amount that can be
     paid to any one Participant pursuant to this Plan or (ii) modify the
     requirements as to eligibility for participation in this Plan, unless the
     Company's stockholders have first approved such amendment in a manner which
     would permit the deduction under Section 162(m) (or any successor thereto)
     of the Code of such payment in the fiscal year it is paid. The Board shall
     amend this Section 17 and such other provisions as it deems appropriate, to
     cause amounts payable to Named Executive Officers to satisfy the
     requirements of Section 162(m) (or any successor thereto) and the Treasury
     regulations promulgated thereunder.

             (b) Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan (including the
     provisions of this Section 17) to the contrary, the amount of compensation
     which a Named Executive Officer may receive with respect to Options which
     are granted hereunder is based solely on an increase in the value of the
     applicable shares of Stock after the date of grant of such Award. Thus, no
     Option may be granted hereunder to a Named Executive Officer with an
     exercise price less than the Fair Market Value of the shares of Stock on
     the date of grant. Furthermore, the maximum number of shares of Stock with
     respect to which Options may be granted hereunder to any Named Executive
     Officer during any calendar year may not exceed fifty thousand (50,000)
     shares, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 11 hereunder.
