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 and six month periods ended
December 31, 1999, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ended June 30, 2000. 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, 1999.

Note 2 - Acquisitions

On July 16, 1999, the Company purchased certain assets of Frank Spielberg Sales
LLC ("Spielberg"), a handbag designer and marketer based in St. Louis, Missouri,
for approximately $3.6 million. The cash purchase price was provided by drawing
on existing bank lines. Spielberg supplies proprietary design, marketing and
sourcing expertise for handbags under department store private labels and direct
sales to retailers. Spielberg will continue to operate from its St. Louis, New
York City and Hong Kong offices. The acquisition was accounted for under the
purchase method of accounting and the resultant goodwill of approximately
$1,675,000 is amortized over 20 years. The pro-forma effects of this acquisition
are not material.

Note 3 - Comprehensive Income.

         The components of comprehensive income, net of related tax, for the
three and six months ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 are as follows (in

                                   (Unaudited)

Note 6 - Credit Arrangements

On November 1, 1999, the Company amended its $45,000,000 unsecured line of
credit with a bank expanding availability thereunder to $50,000,000. Of this
amount, $25,000,000 is a committed facility which is comprised of a $15,000,000
term note and a $10,000,000 committed revolving credit facility both of which
require the maintenance of certain financial covenants and the payment of a
commitment fee of 1/4% on the unused balance. The $15,000,000 term note which
expires on November 17, 2003, bears interest at LIBOR plus 1%. The $10,000,000
committed revolving credit facility which expires on May 18, 2001, bears
interest at various rates with short-term durations. Principal payments on the
term note and committed revolving credit facility are due on the expiration
date. The $20,000,000 uncommitted facility thereunder was increased to
$25,000,000. Each facility may be used for borrowings or letters of credit. The
amendment increased the Company's total aggregate domestic bank credit lines to
$90,000,000.

Note 7 - Stock Repurchase Program

On October 20, 1999, 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 (the "Repurchase Program"). 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 December 31, 1999, the
Company repurchased 62,300 shares of treasury stock under the Repurchase Program
at a cost of approximately $859,000. During the three months ended December 31,
1999, 21,079 shares of treasury stock were reissued to the Company's employee
stock purchase program.

Note 8 - Stockholder Rights Plan

On November 2, 1999, the Company's Board of Directors renewed the Company's
stockholder rights plan designed to protect its stockholders from unsolicited,
coercive takeover proposals. A new amended and restated plan was adopted in the
normal course of updating and extending the predecessor stockholder rights plan,
which was scheduled to expire on December 31, 2000, and not in response to any
acquisition proposal. The expiration date of the rights plan was extended to
October 19, 2009. The amended plan has been altered to reflect prevailing
stockholder rights plan terms, such as lowering the share ownership level which
triggers the exercise of the rights and eliminating the continuing director
provision. The amended plan provides for an increase in the exercise price of
the rights under the plan from $36.00 to $70.00. In connection with the
announcement, the Company filed the amended and restated plan on Form 8-K with
the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 2, 1999.

Note 9 - Termination of License Agreement

On November 9, 1999, the Company and JONES APPAREL GROUP agreed to amend their
existing licensing agreement. Under the amended agreement Tandy Brands
Accessories will continue to design and market men's belts and personal leather
goods as well as women's small leather goods under various JONES NEW YORK(R)
brands, but will no longer design and market women's handbags under any JONES
NEW YORK(R) brands. As compensation for the early termination of women's handbag
license rights, Jones Apparel Group will paid the Company $1.5 million in cash,
of which a portion will be used to wind down functions related to the license
arrangements. Consequently, the results for the three and six month periods
ended December 31, 1999 include a one-time benefit, net of related costs of $1.0
million from the termination of this licensing agreement.

</TABLE>


THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 COMPARED TO THE THREE AND SIX
MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998

NET SALES
For the three month period ended December 31, 1999, net sales increased 6.4% to
$57,566,000 as compared to net sales of $54,122,000 for the same period last
year. The overall sales increase was attributable to increased women's
accessories sales. The sales from the purchase of assets of Frank Spielberg
Sales, LLC accounted for 61% of the women's accessories sales increase with the
remaining increase attributable to the Company's existing women's product lines.
The decrease in men's accessories sales for the three months ended December 31,
1999 was due to the timing of initial shipments of Amity/Rolfs men's small
leather goods to certain mass merchants that occurred in the same period last
year. For the six month period ended December 31, 1999, net sales increased
12.6% to $110,822,000 as compared to net sales of $98,403,000 for the same
period last year. The sales increases were attributable to higher sales volume
in men's small leather goods and handbag sales sold to various mass merchants.

GROSS MARGINS
Gross margins for the three-month period ended December 31, 1999 increased
$1,596,000, or 8.0% as compared to the same period for the prior year. As a
percentage of sales, men's gross margin increased 1.8% due to a higher sales mix
of department store and specialty retail sales compared to the prior year and
the first quarter of fiscal 2000. The women's gross margin percentage decreased
 .8% and 1.1%, respectively for the three and six month periods ended December
31, 1999 as compared to the same periods last year. The decrease is the result
of the higher mass merchant sales as compared to the same periods in the prior
year.


                                       11
<PAGE>   12

OPERATING EXPENSES
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales for
the three and six months ended December 31, 1999 decreased .5% and .8%,
respectively as compared to the same periods in the prior year. A portion of the
decrease resulted from a larger mix of mass merchant product sales, which, on a
percentage of sales basis, incur lower variable selling expenses than department
store product sales as well as volume efficiencies from increased sales.

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $59,000 and $145,000 for the
three and six months ended December 31, 1999, respectively, compared to the same
periods in the prior year. The increase is attributable to capital expenditures
related to the Company's management information and distribution software
systems installed during fiscal 1999 and the amortization of goodwill recorded
in connection with the Spielberg acquisition.

Interest expense for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 1999
increased $79,000 and $227,000, respectively as compared to the same periods in
the prior year. The increase is primarily related to higher debt levels as a
result of higher sales levels and inventory requirements.

The effective tax rate for the six months ended December 31, 1999 was 38.8%
which is consistent with the same period in the prior year.

Net income for the three-month period ended December 31,1999 increased 33% to
$4,893,000, or $0.83 per diluted share, compared to net income of $3,678,000, or
$0.63 per diluted share for the same period in the prior year. On November 2,
1999, the company negotiated an early termination of its handbag licensing
agreement with Jones New York. (See Note 9.) Both the three and six month
results include a one time benefit, including related costs, of $1,000,000 from
the termination of this licensing agreement. Excluding the net benefit of the
early license termination, net income for the three-month period ended December
31,1999 increased 16.4% to $4,281,000, or $0.73 per diluted share from the same
period last year.

Net income for the six months ended December 31, 1999 increased 26.4% to
$7,661,000, or $1.30 per diluted share, compared to net income of $6,062,000, or
$1.05 per diluted share, for the same period in the prior year. Excluding the
net benefit of the early license termination, net income for the six months
increased 16.3% to $7,049,000, or $1.20 per diluted share from the same period
in the prior year.

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 $47,825,000 and $53,650,000 as of December 31, 1999 and 1998,
respectively. The decrease in borrowings under these lines of credit is
consistent with the Company's increased sales.

See Note 6 for a discussion of certain amendments to these credit lines.

For the six months ended December 31, 1999, the Company's operating activities
provided cash of $5,432,000 compared to a use of cash of $9,603,000 for the same
period last year. The increase was attributable to timing of cash receipt
collections related to increased sales and estimated tax payments during the six
months ended December 31, 1999.

Capital expenditures were $997,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1999.
The decrease of $1,062,000 over the same prior year period is due to the timing
of capital investments during fiscal 2000. Management anticipates that the
Company's level of capital investment for fiscal 2000 will approximate the prior
year. Capital commitments for fiscal 2000 include leasehold improvements for a
new distribution facility in Dallas, Texas, for women's accessories as well as
additional hardware and software applications.

See Note 2 for a discussion of the purchase of Frank Spielberg, LLC.

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 7 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.


FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Management's Discussion and Analysis of financial condition and results of
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
assumptions made by management. In addition, other written or oral statements
which constitute forward-looking statements may be made by or on behalf of the
Company. Words such as "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "believes,"
"seeks," "estimates," or variations of such words and similar expressions are
intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements are not
guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and
assumptions which are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and
results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such
forward-looking statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to update
publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information,
future events or otherwise.

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 December 31, 1999 the Company had borrowings under its
credit lines of $47,825,000 bearing a weighted-average interest rate of 6.37%.
In fiscal 1999, 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 December 31, 1999, the receive and pay rates related to the interest rate
swap were 7.07% and 6.52%, respectively. The potential impact of market
conditions on the fair value of the Company's indebtedness is not expected to be
material.
