    The Administrative Committee and Participants of
    Tandy Employees Deferred Salary and Investment Plan
    Fort Worth, Texas

                       INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
                       ----------------------------

    I have audited the accompanying statement of financial
    condition of the Tandy Employees Deferred Salary and
    Investment Plan as of March 31, 1995 and 1994, and the
    related statement of income and changes in the plan equity
    for the years ended March 31, 1995,1994 and 1993. These
    financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan'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
    status of the Tandy Employees Deferred Salary and Investment
    Plan as of March 31, 1995 and 1994, and results of its
    changes therein for the years ended March 31, 1995, 1994 and
    1993, 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 schedules of assets held for investment purposes
    and reportable transactions are 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 are not a required
    part of the basic financial statements.  The supplemental
    schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures
    applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and,
    in my opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in
    relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

    NOTE A - DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN


    The following description of the Tandy Employees Deferred
    Salary and Investment Plan (the "Plan") provides only general
    information. Participants should refer to the Plan
    prospectus, the DIP/TESOP summary plan description or the
    Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan's
    provisions. 


    General
    -------
    
    The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering employees of
    the Company who have completed one year of service, of not
    less than 1,000 hours per year.

    The Plan is subject to Titles I and II of the Employee
    Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) relating to
    the protection of employee benefit rights and amendments to
    the Internal Revenue Code, respectively, but is not subject
    to Title IV, relating to plan termination insurance coverage,
    and such insurance will not be extended to participants in
    the Plan in the future.


    Contributions
    -------------

    A participant defers 5% of his gross salary (up to the
    maximum contribution allowed by the Internal Revenue Code)
    which the Company pays into the Plan as a salary reduction
    contribution for the account of the participant.

    For periods prior to October 1, 1990, the Company contributed
    to the Plan an amount equal to 80% of the salary reduction
    contributions of the participant. These Company contributions
    were terminated effective October 1, 1990, the date of
    commencement of Company contributions under the Tandy
    Employees Stock Ownership Plan (TESOP), a noncontributory
    employee stock ownership plan established by the Company on
    June 29, 1990 (to be effective April 1, 1990).

    A participant is not subject to current federal income
    taxation on his deferred contributions to the Plan.

                      ==============  ==============  ==============
    </TABLE>


    Participants' Accounts
    ----------------------

    Participants' accounts are valued as of the last day of each
    March, June, September and December. Each participant is
    mailed a quarterly statement showing his contributions to
    date, Company contributions to date, total contributions to
    date and the market value of his account. Each participant is
    also mailed a copy of the annual report of Tandy Corporation,
    any SPP/Plan prospectus incorporated by reference into the
    registration statement on Form S-8 or an appendix to the
    prospectus, any material amendment made to any revised
    summary plan description booklet and the summary annual
    report. New participants also receive the latest prospectus.


    Vesting
    -------

    The participants' accounts are fully vested at the end of
    each calendar quarter, except for amounts credited to the
    account because of fraud or mistake of fact.


    Payments of Benefits
    --------------------

    The taxable portion of a "lump-sum distribution" and certain
    "partial distributions" may not be subject to tax upon
    receipt by a participant if the distribution is rolled over
    into an IRA or another qualified plan within the prescribed
    time period. If a lump-sum distribution is not rolled over, a
    special 5-year averaging tax (intended to minimize the tax
    burden) may be available for some participants with respect
    to the taxable portion of such distribution. As a general
    rule, only one lump- sum distribution which is received after
    attaining age 59-1/2 is eligible for the special 5-year
    averaging (computed under the tax rates contained in the Tax
    Reform Act of 1986) or the 10-year averaging (computed under
    prior law tax rates).

            FOR THE YEARS ENDED MARCH 31, 1995, 1994 AND 1993


    NOTE A - DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (continued)

    If a lump-sum distribution consists in part of securities of
    Tandy Corporation and InterTAN Inc., the portion of such
    distribution which represents net unrealized appreciation of
    such securities will not be currently taxable to the
    recipient for federal income tax purposes (although a
    participant may elect to include such appreciation in income,
    if desired). Upon a subsequent disposition of such
    securities, gain or loss will be determined generally by
    reference to their basis when they were acquired by the Plan.
    An additional 10% income tax is imposed on certain early
    distributions included in gross income prior to attaining age
    59-1/2, death or disability. The value of a participant's
    interest in the Plan is includable in his gross estate upon
    his death.



    Loans to Participants
    ---------------------

    Effective October 1, 1990, a participant may borrow up to 50%
    of his or her account value in the Plan not to exceed the
    lesser of: 1) $50,000.00, or 2) an amount that can be fully
    repaid by payroll deduction payments that do not exceed 25%
    of the participant's regular gross wages. The minimum loan
    amount is $500.00, to be repaid through authorized payroll

                                    II

    <PAGE>
                                    IV

         Section 4.03 is hereby amended, effective October 1,
    1990, by adding a new paragraph at the beginning thereof to 
    read as follows:

              Effective as  of the  date  the Tandy  Employees

              Company Contributions shall be made to the Plan.


                                    V

         Article VI is hereby amended, effective January 1, 1993,
    by adding a new section 6.11 thereto to read as follows:

              6.11 Right to Have Accounts Transferred.  Effective
              January 1, 1993, notwithstanding any provision of
              the Plan to the contrary that would otherwise limit
              an "eligible distributee" election under this
              section, an eligible distributee may elect, at the
              time and in the manner prescribed by the
              Administrative Committee, to have any part of an
              "eligible rollover distribution" paid directly to
              an "eligible retirement plan" specified by the
              eligible distributee in a "direct rollover."
              "Eligible rollover distribution" means any
              distribution of all or any part of the Account
              balances of the eligible distributee. However, an
              eligible rollover distribution shall not include: 
              any installment payments from the Plan if paid for
              ten years or more; any distribution required to be
              distributed because of a Participant's required
              beginning date; and the part of any distribution
              that is not includible in gross income (determined
              without regard to the exclusion for net unrealized
              appreciation with respect to employer securities).
              "Eligible retirement plan" means an individual
              retirement account described in Section 408(a) of
              the Code, an individual retirement annuity
              described in Section 408(b) of the Code, or a
              qualified trust described in Section 401(a) of the
              Code, that accepts the eligible distributee's
              rollover distribution. However, in the case of an
              eligible rollover distribution to a Participant's
              surviving spouse, an eligible retirement plan shall
              only be an individual retirement account or
              individual retirement annuity. An "eligible
              distributee" means an Employee or former Employee. 
              In addition, the Employee's or former Employee's
              surviving spouse and the Employee's or former
              Employee's spouse who is the alternate payee under
              a qualified domestic relations order are eligible
              distributees with regard to the interest of the
              spouse or former spouse. A "direct rollover" means
              a payment by the Plan to an eligible retirement
              plan specified by the eligible distributee.
    <PAGE>
                                    VI

         The first paragraph of Section 11.05 is hereby amended,
    effective April 1, 1988, by adding to the end thereof a
    sentence to read as follows:

              For purposes of this section with respect to Plan
              years beginning after March 31, 1988, (a) any
              employer matching contributions under the Plan or
              any other defined contribution plan of any
              Affiliated Business used to satisfy the
              nondiscrimination tests of Code Section 401(k) and
              401(m) and (b) any employer contributions
              attributable to a cash or deferred salary reduction
              agreement are included in determining employer
              contributions made on behalf of Key Employees, but
              are not included as employer contributions to
              satisfy the minimum required contribution for
              non-Key Employees.

                                   VII

         The last sentence of Section 11.05 is hereby amended,
    effective April 1, 1994, by replacing "$200,000" with "(a)
    for Plan Years beginning on or after April 1, 1989 and ending
    on or before March 31, 1994, $200,000 (as adjusted by the
    Secretary of the Treasury) and (b) for Plan Years beginning
    on or after April 1, 1994, "$150,000 (as adjusted by the
    Secretary of the Treasury)."

    IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Company and Trustee have caused this
    Amendment to be executed by their duly appointed officers and
    their corporate seals to be hereunto affixed.
