                     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,
2000, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
year ended June 30, 2001. 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, 2000.

NOTE 2 - IMPACT OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," and its
amendments Statements 137 and 138, in June 1999 and June 2000, respectively. The
Statement requires the Company to recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet
at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value
through income. If the derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the
hedge, changes in the fair value of derivatives are either offset against the
change in fair value of assets, liabilities, or firm commitments through
earnings or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is
recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of a derivative's change in fair
value will be immediately recognized in earnings. The adoption of Statement No.
133, as amended on July 1, 2000, resulted in the cumulative effect of an
accounting change, net of tax, of approximately $308,000 in other comprehensive
income.

The Company's risk management policy as it relates to derivative instruments is
to mitigate, subject to market conditions, against interest rate risk. The
Company does not enter into any derivative instrument for the purposes of
speculative investment. The Company's overall risk management philosophy is
reevaluated as business conditions arise.

The Company is subject to interest rate risk on its long term debt. The Company
manages its exposure to changes in interest rates by the use of variable and
fixed interest rate debt. In addition the Company has hedged its exposure to
changes in interest rates on a portion of its variable debt by entering into a
interest rate swap agreement to lock in a fixed interest rate for a portion of
these borrowings. As a result, the Company entered into a five-year interest
rate swap agreement converting $15,000,000 of outstanding indebtedness from a
variable to a fixed interest rate. The average receive rate is based on a 90 day
LIBOR rate. The interest rate swap agreement as a derivative represents a valid
cash flow hedge instrument under Statement No. 133. At September 30, 2000, the
receive and pay rates related to the interest rate swap were 7.69% and 6.52%,
respectively.

NOTE 6 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On October 18, 2000, the Company's Board of Directors approved a plan to
repurchase, from time to time in the open market or through negotiated
transactions, shares of the Company's common stock at an aggregate purchase
price of up to $2,000,000 million (the "repurchase program"). This program is an
extension of the nearly completed $4,000,000 million stock repurchase plan the
Company initiated in October 20, 1999 and extended in April 26, 2000. Any open
market purchases will be at prevailing market prices. The timing of any
repurchases will depend on market conditions, market price, and management's
assessment of the Company's liquidity and cash flow needs. Any repurchased
shares will be added to the Company's treasury shares and may be used for the
Company's stock plans and other corporate purposes. The funds required for the
repurchases will be provided from the Company's current cash balances, operating
cash flow, or the Company's credit facility. During the three-months ended
September 30, 2000, the Company repurchased 137,710 shares of treasury stock
under the repurchase program at a cost of approximately $996,000. During the
three months ended September 30, 2000, 46,925 shares of treasury stock were
reissued to the Company's employee stock purchase program.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
           CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1999

NET SALES

For the three-month period ended September 30, 2000, net sales increased 1.7% to
$54,184,000 as compared to net sales of $53,256,000 for the same period last
year. Net sales of men's accessories increased 9.6% for the three-month period
ended September 30, 2000 as compared to the same period last year. The increase
in men's sales was attributable to increased mass merchant sales. Net sales of
women's accessories decreased 7.0% for the three-month period ended September
30, 2000 as compared to the same period last year. The decrease was attributable
to sales of lower women's fashion trend items and the loss of JONES NEW YORK(R)
handbag sales. However, the decrease was partially offset by a 14.9% increase in
women's small leather goods sales to certain department store and specialty
retailers.

GROSS MARGINS

Gross margins increased for the three-month period ended September 30, 2000,
$12,000, or 0.1% as compared to the same period for the prior year. As a
percentage of sales, gross margins decreased 0.6% for the three month period
ended September 30, 2000 as compared to the same period last year. The overall
decrease was due to higher close out sales of women's fashion trend accessories
resulting in the recognition of approximately $258,000 related to inventory
markdowns as compared to the same quarter in the prior year. However, the
overall gross margin percentage decrease was partially offset by a 0.5% increase
in gross margins related to the men's accessories segment.

OPERATING EXPENSES

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales for
the three months ended September 30, 2000 increased 1.1% as compared to the same
period of the prior year. The increase resulted from higher wages, advertising
and rent expenses.

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased 27.0% to $1,058,000 for the
three months ended September 30, 2000, compared to $833,000 in the same period
of the prior year. The increase is attributable to capital expenditures related
to the leasehold improvements and equipment related to the new distribution
facility in Dallas, Texas, for women's accessories as well as additional
hardware and software applications.

Interest expense for the three-month period ended September 30, 2000 increased
$128,000 as compared to the same period for the prior year. The increase is
primarily related to higher interest rates during the first quarter of fiscal
2001.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2000 was 38.9%
which is consistent with the same period in the prior year.

Net income for the three-month period ended September 30, 2000 decreased 26.5%
to $2,035,000 or $.36 per diluted share, compared to net income of $2,768,000 or
$.47 per diluted share, for the same three months last year. The decrease in net
income was primarily due to lower margin sales mix of women's accessories and
increased selling, general and administrative expenses.

================================================================================

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
           CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


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
domestic bank credit lines aggregating $90,000,000, which can be used for
seasonal borrowings and letters of credit. The Company's borrowings under its
credit lines were $57,525,000 and $65,175,000 as of September 30, 2000 and 1999,
respectively.

For the three months ended September 30, 2000, the Company's operating
activities used cash of $15,603,000 compared to $13,633,000 for the same period
last year. The increase was attributable to lower net income and higher
inventory and customer display fixture purchases.

Capital expenditures were $495,000 for the three months ended September 30,
2000. The decrease of $36,000 over the same prior year period is due to the
timing of capital investments during fiscal 2001. Management anticipates that
the Company's level of capital investment for fiscal 2001 will approximate the
prior year. Capital commitments for fiscal 2001 include additional equipment for
the Company's distribution facility in Dallas, Texas, as well as additional
hardware and software applications.

The Company examines the carrying value of its excess of cost over net assets
acquired (Goodwill) and other intangible assets as current events and
circumstances warrant to determine whether there are any impairment losses. If
indicators of impairment were present in intangible assets used in operations,
and future cash flows were not expected to be sufficient to recover the assets'
carrying amount, an impairment loss would be charged to expense in the period
identified. No event has been identified that would indicate an impairment of
the value of material intangible assets recorded in the consolidated financial
statements.

The Company has never paid a cash dividend on its Common Stock. The Company
currently intends to retain its earnings for the foreseeable future to provide
funds for the expansion of its business. The Company's existing credit
agreements currently contain covenants related to the maintenance of certain
financial ratios, which could impose certain limitations on the payment of
dividends.

See Note 6 for a discussion of the Company's stock repurchase program.

The Company believes it has adequate financial resources and access to
sufficient credit facilities to satisfy its future working capital needs.

SEASONALITY

The Company's quarterly sales and net income results are fairly consistent
throughout the fiscal year, with a seasonal increase during the second quarter.

INFLATION

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.

operations and other sections of this Form 10-Q contain forward looking
statements that are based on current expectations, estimates and projections
about the industry in which the Company operates, management's beliefs and

ITEM 3. QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company is subject to interest rate risk on its long term debt. The Company
manages its exposure to changes in interest rates by the use of variable and
fixed interest rate debt. In addition the Company has hedged its exposure to
changes in interest rates on a portion of its variable debt by entering into a
interest rate swap agreement to lock in a fixed interest rate for a portion of
these borrowings. At September 30, 2000 the Company had borrowings under its
credit lines of $57,525,000 bearing a weighted-average interest rate of 7.55%.
The Company entered into a five-year interest rate swap agreement converting
$15,000,000 of outstanding indebtedness from a variable to a fixed interest
rate. The average receive rate is based on a 90 day LIBOR rate. At September 30,
2000, the receive and pay rates related to the interest rate swap were 7.69% and
6.52%, respectively. At September 30, 2000, the fair value of the interest rate
swap agreement was approximately $466,000. Interest differentials to be paid or
received because of the swap agreement are reflected as an adjustment to
interest expense over the related debt period. The potential impact of market
conditions on the fair value of the Company's indebtedness is not expected to be
material. Given that such lines of credit bear interest at floating market
interest rates, the fair value of amounts borrowed thereunder approximates
carrying value.
