       NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

    NOTE 1-BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

    The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements
    have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to
    Form 10-Q and 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 months ended March 31, 1994 are not necessarily
    indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
    ending December 31, 1994.  For further information, refer to
    the consolidated financial statements and management's
    discussion and analysis of results of operations and
    financial condition included in Tandy Corporation's ("Tandy"
    or the "Company") Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
    1993.

    NOTE 2-RELATIONS WITH INTERTAN

    As of March 31, 1994, InterTAN owed Tandy an aggregate of
    $56,029,000.  The current portion of the InterTAN obligation
    approximates $4,168,000 and the non-current portion
    approximates $51,861,000.  The Series D note payable from
    InterTAN to Tandy was paid in full during the quarter.  The
    note approximated $7,500,000 at December 31, 1993 and
    represented invoices for shipped goods.  Through March 31,
    1994, Tandy recognized accretion of discount of $851,000 on
    the note receivable from InterTAN resulting from the purchase
    of the bank debt at a discounted price.  Accretion of the
    discount is based on the effective interest rate method and
    is expected to approximate $3,856,000 in 1994.  During the
    quarter ended March 31, 1994, Tandy recognized approximately
    $10,913,000 of sales to InterTAN and interest income of
    $1,974,000 (including the accretion of discount).  Sales to
    InterTAN for the March 31, 1993 quarter approximated
    $14,244,000.  Open purchase orders at March 31, 1994
    approximated $43,359,000, which included goods and
    commission.  The merchandise will be paid for through letters
    of credit and only the commission will be billed directly to
    InterTAN.

    A&A will continue as the exclusive purchasing agent for
    InterTAN in the Far East on a commission basis.  Commencing
    in March 1994, only the purchasing agent commission and sales
    by Tandy manufacturing plants to InterTAN were recorded as
    sales.  InterTAN purchases from third parties through A&A are
    no longer recorded as sales reflecting the arrangement under
    the new merchandise agreement.  Accordingly, management
    expects that reported sales by Tandy to InterTAN in 1994 will
    be considerably lower than in prior years, however, the
    earned income relating thereto will not be materially
    different.

    NOTE 3-DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

    On June 25, 1993, the Board of Directors of Tandy adopted a
    formal plan of divestiture under which it would sell its
    computer manufacturing and marketing businesses, the
    O'Sullivan Industries, Inc.  ("O'Sullivan") ready-to-assemble
    furniture manufacturing and related marketing business, the
    Memtek Products division and the Lika printed circuit board
    business.  As of March 31, 1994, all manufacturing operations
    except Lika have been divested.  The Lika divestiture is
    expected to close by June 1994.
    
    O'Sullivan Industries.  On January 27, 1994, the Company
    announced that it had reached an agreement with the
    underwriters to sell common stock of O'Sullivan Industries
    Holdings, Inc., the parent company of O'Sullivan, to the
    public at $22 per share.  The net proceeds realized by Tandy
    in the initial public offering, together with the $40,000,000
    cash dividend from O'Sullivan, approximated $350,000,000. 
    The initial public offering closed on February 2, 1994.

    Tandy has accrued approximately $1,262,000 during the quarter
    ended March 31, 1994, pursuant to the Tax Sharing and Tax
    Benefit Reimbursement Agreement between Tandy and O'Sullivan
    Industries Holdings, Inc., in which the Company will receive
    payments from O'Sullivan resulting from the increased tax
    basis of O'Sullivan's assets, thereby increasing tax
    deductions and accordingly, reducing income taxes payable by
    O'Sullivan.  The amount to be received by the Company each
    year will approximate the federal tax benefit expected to be
    realized with respect to the increased tax basis.  These
    payments will be made over a 15-year time period.  The
    Company will recognize these payments as additional sale
    proceeds and gain in the year in which the payments become
    due and payable to the Company.

    ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF
             OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION


    Net Sales and Operating Revenues

    Net sales and operating revenues for the three months ended
    March 31 were:

                                  ________    ________

    * Includes 110 McDuff/VideoConcepts stores closed during this 
      quarter


    Sales of retail operations increased in virtually all areas
    except Tandy Name Brand, which closed 110 stores in the March
    quarter of 1993.  Excluding the closed stores, retail
    operations had a 19% sales gain for the quarter.  The opening
    of new Incredible Universe and Computer City stores in the
    latter part of 1993 and the first quarter of 1994 boosted
    sales for those divisions.  Since March 31, 1993, 22 new
    Computer City stores and two new Incredible Universe stores
    have opened.  On a same-store basis, U.S. retail sales
    increased 5% overall for the quarter with February being the
    best month with 8% comparable store sales gains.  January and
    February sales were affected by poor weather conditions,
    especially in the Northeast.  Sales trends strengthened from
    the March 1993 quarter to the March 1994 quarter for all
    retail units.  Incredible Universe had strong comparable
    store sales gains for the quarter.

    Gross Profit

    Gross profit as a percent of net sales declined from 45.1%
    during the three months ended March 31, 1993 to 41.1% for the
    corresponding 1994 period.  This decrease is primarily a
    result of the additional sales of Computer City and
    Incredible Universe, which operate on lower margins.  In the
    first quarter of fiscal 1994, Computer City and Incredible
    Universe accounted for approximately 26% of consolidated
    sales compared to 15% in the first quarter of 1993.
    Additionally, margins have decreased slightly at Radio Shack
    due principally to lower margins on computer sales when
    compared with the three-month period in 1993.

     Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

    Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of
    sales and operating revenues declined 2.7 percentage points
    from the same period in the prior year.  Most expense
    categories were lower as a percent of sales, including
    advertising, rent, payroll and bad debt expense.  The
    improved quality of credit card receivables resulted in a
    reduction of bad debt expense of $6,861,000 in comparison
    with the first quarter of 1993.  The lower advertising, rent
    and payroll costs as a percent of sales reflect the lower
    costs associated with the Company's newer retail formats. 
    The Company expects SG&A expenses as a percent of sales to
    continue to decrease as more Computer City and Incredible
    Universe stores are opened.

    Net Interest Income

    Interest income and expense for the three months ended
    March 31 were:

    (In thousands)                  1994           1993 
                                 _________      _________
    Interest income...........    $22,987        $16,699
    Interest expense..........     (9,993)        (9,211)
                                 _________      _________
    Net interest income.......    $12,994        $ 7,488
                                 _________      _________
                                 _________      _________

    Proceeds from divestitures resulted in increased short-term
    investments and decreased short-term borrowings and thus
    impacted interest income and interest expense.  The increase
    in interest income is also due in part to interest earned on
    notes receivable from AST Research Inc.  and InterTAN.  (See
    Note 2 - "Relations with InterTAN" for further information.)
    Tandy also received $4,455,000 in interest income from the
    IRS during the quarter.  Interest income earned by Tandy
    Credit Corporation decreased $2,547,000 from the March 31,
    1993 quarter due to lower outstanding credit card receivable
    balances and increased use of credit promotions.  A
    $2,000,000 accrual in interest expense to the IRS was
    recorded in the March 31, 1994 quarter; excluding this
    accrual, interest expense was 13% lower than in the March 31,
    1993 quarter primarily due to lower debt levels.

    Provision for Income Taxes

    Provision for income taxes for each quarterly period is based
    on the estimate of the annual effective tax rate for the
    fiscal year as evaluated at the end of each quarter.  The
    effective tax rates for the first quarters of 1994 and 1993
    were 38.25% and 36.50%, respectively.  The increase is
    primarily due to federal tax rate legislation enacted during
    1993.

    Earnings Per Share

    Earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income less
    Series B preferred stock dividends paid or payable by average
    common or common share equivalents outstanding during the
    respective periods.  For the three months ended March 31,
    1994 and 1993, preferred dividends amounted to $1,806,000 and
    $1,832,000, respectively.  Earnings per share for continuing
    operations for the three months ended March 31, 1994
    increased slightly from that for the three months ended March
    31, 1993.  However, the Company recorded operating losses
    from discontinued operations of $18,542,000 or $0.24 per
    share for the first quarter of fiscal 1993, partially offset
    by a benefit of $13,014,000, or $0.17 per share, for
    cumulative effect on prior years of change in accounting
    principle.

    Cash Flow and Financial Condition

    Tandy's cash flow and financial condition, in management's
    opinion, remains strong.  Cash flow from operating activities
    increased in the three-month period ended March 31, 1994 as
    compared with the same period of the prior year.  This
    increase relates primarily to larger decreases in inventories
    in 1994 as compared to 1993.  Cash provided by investing
    activities for this period included cash received from the
    O'Sullivan IPO.  Property, plant and equipment additions were
    reduced due to the divestiture of manufacturing operations.
    Cash provided by operations should be sufficient to fund
    current operations.

    Cash and short-term investments at March 31, 1994 were
    $369,710,000 as compared to $163,762,000 at March 31, 1993.
    Total debt as a percentage of total capitalization was 12.3%
    at March 31, 1994, compared to 22.8% at December 31, 1993 and
    25.7% at March 31, 1993.  Total debt has been reduced as
    proceeds from divested manufacturing operations and cash
    flows from operating activities have been used to pay off
    debt.  Long-term debt as a percentage of total capitalization
    was 6.4% at March 31, 1994 compared to 7.4% at December 31,
    1993 and 12.1% at March 31, 1993.  The Company's issue of 10%
    subordinated debentures due June 30, 1994 was called by the
    Company on February 23, 1994 for redemption on April 1, 1994.
    The redemption was at 100% of face value or $32,431,000.

    Inventory

    Compared to March 31, 1993, total inventories at March 31,
    1994 have decreased $233,825,000 or 16.6%, primarily due to
    the disposition of assets related to the divestiture of
    manufacturing operations and additionally due to reductions
    in Radio Shack inventories.  Reductions in Radio Shack
    inventories were partially offset by increased inventory for
    new Computer City and Incredible Universe stores.  Inventory
    levels for Radio Shack, Tandy Name Brand and Computer City
    have been reduced from the levels maintained at December 31,
    1993.  These reductions are due to seasonal fluctuations in
    inventory levels.

    Discontinued Operations

    On June 25, 1993, the Board of Directors of Tandy adopted a
    formal plan of divestiture under which it would sell its
    computer manufacturing and marketing businesses, the
    O'Sullivan Industries, Inc.  ("O'Sullivan") ready-to-assemble
    furniture manufacturing and related marketing business, the
    Memtek Products division and the Lika printed circuit board
    business.  As of March 31, 1994, all manufacturing operations
    except Lika have been divested.  The Lika divestiture is
    expected to close by June 1994.

    O'Sullivan Industries.  On January 27, 1994, the Company
    announced that it had reached an agreement with the
    underwriters to sell common stock of O'Sullivan Industries
    Holdings, Inc., the parent company of O'Sullivan, to the
    public at $22 per share.  The net proceeds realized by Tandy
    in the initial public offering, together with the $40,000,000
    cash dividend from O'Sullivan, approximated $350,000,000. 
    The initial public offering closed on February 2, 1994.

    Tandy has accrued approximately $1,262,000 during the quarter
    ended March 31, 1994, pursuant to the Tax Sharing and Tax
    Benefit Reimbursement Agreement between Tandy and O'Sullivan
    Industries Holdings, Inc., in which the Company will receive
    payments from O'Sullivan resulting from the increased tax
    basis of O'Sullivan's assets, thereby increasing tax
    deductions and accordingly, reducing income taxes payable by
    O'Sullivan.  The amount to be received by the Company each
    year will approximate the federal tax benefit expected to be
    realized with respect to the increased tax basis.  These
    payments will be made over a 15-year time period.  The
    Company will recognize these payments as additional sale
    proceeds and gain in the year in which the payments become
    due and payable to the Company.

    InterTAN Update

    As of March 31, 1994, InterTAN owed Tandy an aggregate of
    $56,029,000.  The current portion of the InterTAN obligation
    approximates $4,168,000 and the non-current portion
    approximates $51,861,000.  The Series D note payable from
    InterTAN to Tandy was paid in full during the quarter.  The
    note approximated $7,500,000 at December 31, 1993, and
    represented invoices for shipped goods.  Through March 31,
    1994, Tandy recognized accretion of discount totaling
    $851,000 on the note receivable from InterTAN resulting from
    the purchase of the bank debt at a discounted price. 
    Accretion of the discount is based on the effective interest
    rate method and is expected to approximate $3,856,000 in
    1994.  During the quarter ended March 31, 1994, Tandy
    recognized approximately $10,913,000 of sales to InterTAN and
    interest income of $1,974,000 (including the accretion of
    discount).  Sales to InterTAN for the March 31, 1993 quarter
    approximated $14,244,000.  Open purchase orders at March 31,
    1994 approximated $43,359,000, which included goods and
    commission.  The merchandise will be paid through letters of
    credit and only the commission will be billed directly to
    InterTAN.

    A&A will continue as the exclusive purchasing agent for
    InterTAN in the Far East on a commission basis.  Commencing
    in March 1994, only the purchasing agent commission and sales
    by Tandy manufacturing plants to InterTAN were recorded as
    sales.  InterTAN purchases from third parties through A&A are
    no longer recorded as sales reflecting the arrangement under
    the new merchandise agreement.  Accordingly, management
    expects that reported sales by Tandy to InterTAN in 1994 will
    be considerably lower than in prior years, however, the
    earned income relating thereto will not be materially
    different.

                   PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

    ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

    Tandy has various claims, lawsuits, disputes with third
    parties, investigations and pending actions involving
    allegations of negligence, product defects, discrimination,
    infringement of intellectual property rights, tax
    deficiencies and breach of contract against the Company and
    its subsidiaries incident to the operation of its business. 
    The liability, if any, associated with these matters was not
    determinable at March 31, 1994.  While certain of these
    matters involve substantial amounts, and although occasional
    adverse settlements or resolutions may occur and negatively
    impact earnings in the year of settlement, it is the opinion
    of management that their ultimate resolution will not have a
    materially adverse effect on the Company's financial
    position.

    ITEM 2.  CHANGE IN SECURITIES.

    The Company's issue of 10% subordinated debentures due June
    30, 1994 was called by the Company on February 23, 1994 for
    redemption on April 1, 1994.  The redemption was at a price
    equal to 100% of face value of the subordinated debentures
    for a total of $32,431,000.

    (a) This calculation is submitted in accordance with Regulation S-K, Item 601(b)(11) although not required by footnote 2 to 
    paragraph 14 of APB Opinion No. 15 because it results in dilution of less than 3%.
    (b) Series B dividends for the three months ended March 31, 1993 are not net of income tax benefits associated with
    unallocated shares in the TESOP in accordance with EITF Issue No. 92-3.
    (c) For the three months ended March 31, 1994 these items are anti-dilutive and thus are omitted from the calculation.
