    The Administrative Committee and Participants of
    Tandy Employees Supplemental Stock Program
    Fort Worth, Texas

                         Independent Auditors Report
                         ___________________________


    I have audited the accompanying statement of financial
    condition of the Tandy Employees Supplemental Stock Program
    as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the related statement
    of income and changes in plan equity for the years ended
    December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991.  These financial
    statements are the responsibility of the Program's
    management.  My responsibility is to express an opinion on
    these financial statements based on my audit.

    I conducted my audit in accordance with generally accepted
    auditing standards.  Those standards require that I 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.  An audit also includes assessing the
    accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
    management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
    statement presentation.  I believe that my audit provides a
    reasonable basis for my opinion.

    In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above
    present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
    position of the Tandy Employees Supplemental Stock Program as
    of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and results of its operations
    for the years ended December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991 in
    conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

    My audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on
    the basic financial statements taken as a whole.  The
    supplemental schedule of assets held for investment purposes
    is presented for purposes of complying with the Department of
    Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure
    under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and
    is not a required part of the basic financial statements. 
    The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing
    procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial
    statements and, in my opinion, is fairly stated in all
    material respects in relation to the basic financial
    statements taken as a whole.

                 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
        FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1993, 1992 AND 1991


    NOTE A - DESCRIPTION OF THE PROGRAM

         The following description of the Tandy Employees
         Supplemental Stock Program (the "Program") provides only
         general information.  Participants should refer to the
         Program Prospectus for a more complete description of
         the Program's provisions.

         General
         _______

         The purpose of the Program is to assist the employees of
         Tandy Corporation and its participating affiliates and
         associates (collectively called "Company") in building a
         personal net worth and to encourage ownership in the
         Company by providing a Program for regular investment in
         the Company's common stock after an employee has reached
         a maximum contribution limit under the Tandy Employees
         Deferred Salary and Investment Plan.

         The Program is subject to Title I of the Employee
         Retirement Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) relating to the
         protection of employee benefit rights, but is not
         subject to Title IV, relating to plan termination
         insurance coverage, and such insurance will not be
         extended to participants in the Program in the future.

         Contributions
         _____________

         Through authorized payroll deduction a participant may
         contribute 5% of his or her gross salary after reaching
         a maximum contribution limit under the Tandy Employees
         Deferred Salary and Investment Plan.

         The Company makes contributions to the Program equal to
         80% of the participant's contribution.

         Cash dividends are added to the participant's account as
         Other contributions paid on the shares of common stock
         credited to a participant's account.  These Other
         contributions are not subject to matching contributions
         by the Company.

         The participant's contributions and the Company's
         matching contribution are a part of the employee's
         current compensation, and, as such, are subject to all
         applicable federal, state, and local income, federal
         insurance contributions act and other taxes.  The cash
         dividends allocated to a participant's account are
         taxable to the participant for the calendar year
         allocated.

         As promptly as practicable after the end of each
         calendar quarter the participant's contribution, the
         Company contribution, and any Other contributions are
         used for the acquisition of Company common stock with
         shares being credited to the participant's account on
         the basis of the number of shares purchased at a price
         equal to the average of the closing price's of the
         Company stock as reported for the New York Stock
         Exchange Composite Transactions for each trading day in
         the calendar month for which the contributions are made.

         The following is a schedule of Employee, Company, and
         Other contributions:

                                1993            1992            1991

         Participants' Accounts
         ______________________

         Each participant is mailed a quarterly statement showing
         his or her contributions to date, Company and Other
         contributions to date, the number of shares purchased
         and the average share price for shares purchased to
         date.  Each participant is also mailed a copy of the
         annual report of the Company, any appendix to the
         prospectus, and the summary annual report.

         Vesting
         _______

         The participants' accounts are fully vested at the end
         of each calendar quarter.

         Payment of Benefits
         ___________________

         The distribution of the Company common stock to the
         participant is not a taxable event.  Cash paid in lieu
         of common stock upon withdrawal will, to the extent that
         it exceeds or is less than the cost basis of the Company
         common stock, be treated as long or short term capital
         gain or loss, respectively.

         A participant will recognize gain or loss on subsequent
         disposition of his or her stock, measured by the
         difference between the amount realized and the cost
         basis.

         The unrealized appreciation or depreciation of
         securities held for investment for financial statement
         reporting prepared in conformity with generally accepted
         accounting principles differ from that for income tax
         reporting.

         Generally accepted accounting principles measure
         unrealized appreciation or depreciation as the
         difference between the securities market value at the
         plan's year end and its historical cost.  The unrealized
         appreciation or depreciation for income tax reporting is
         the difference between the securities market value at
         the plan year end and its current value at the beginning
         of the plan year.

         A participant's account is increased or decreased by the
         unrealized appreciation or depreciation recognized under
         generally accepted accounting principles.

                           AMENDMENT III
                     TO TRUST AGREEMENT OF THE
             TANDY EMPLOYEES SUPPLEMENTAL STOCK PROGRAM
                 (Amendment I to the First Restated
             Tandy Employees Supplemental Stock Program)

         This Amendment is made as of the 29th day of March, 1993
    between Tandy Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Tandy"),
    and Bank One, Texas N.A., a national banking association
    organized under the laws of the United States of America, as
    successor to Team Bank (the "Trustee");

                              WITNESSETH:
                              __________

         WHEREAS, on the 14th day of February, 1990, Tandy and
    the Trustee entered into a Trust Agreement (the "Agreement")
    establishing the Tandy Employees Supplemental Stock Program
    (the "Program"), to be effective as and from the first day of
    September, 1989; and

         WHEREAS, the principal investment held by the Program is
    shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of Tandy
    ("Tandy Stock"); and

         WHEREAS, Tandy and the Trustee have twice amended the
    Agreement and the Program, effective as of August 22, 1990
    and August 25, 1992, respectively; and

         WHEREAS, Tandy and the Trustee desire to amend the
    Agreement and the Program further to specify the treatment of
    dividends on Tandy Stock not payable in cash or shares of
    Tandy Stock that may be received by the Program;

              NOW, THEREFORE, Tandy and the Trustee, in
    consideration of the premises and the covenants and
    agreements contained in the Agreement, do hereby agree that
    Section E. of Article VI of the Agreement is hereby amended
    in its entirety to read as follows:

              E.  DIVIDENDS OTHER THAN CASH AND Tandy Stock.  All
         dividends with respect to Tandy Stock held in a
         Participant's account under the Program that are not
         payable in cash or Tandy Stock shall be distributed to
         the Participant as soon as possible.  All whole units of
         any security (other than Tandy Stock), any rights and
         warrants for a whole unit of any security and whole
         units of any other asset shall be distributed in kind.
         All fractional units of any security (other than Tandy
         Stock), any rights and warrants for less than a whole
         unit of any security and fractional units of any other
         asset shall be sold and the net proceeds paid to the
         Participant.

              IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Tandy and the Trustee have
    caused this Amendment to be executed by their duly appointed
    officers and their corporate seals to be hereunto affixed
    effective as of the date first above written.
