    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, 1995 are not necessarily
    indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
    ending December 31, 1995.  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,
    1994.

    NOTE 2-RELATIONS WITH INTERTAN

    As of March 31, 1995 InterTAN Inc. ("InterTAN") owed Tandy an
    aggregate of $35,994,000, net of discount.  The current
    portion of the obligation approximates $7,135,000 and the
    non-current portion approximates $28,859,000.  In the first
    quarter of 1995, Tandy recognized $1,097,000 in accretion of
    discount on the note receivable from InterTAN which resulted
    from the purchase of the bank debt at a discounted price.
    Tandy recognized sales to and commission income from InterTAN
    of approximately $2,349,000 and interest income of $2,096,000
    during the quarter ended March 31, 1995.  During the quarter
    ended March 31, 1994, Tandy recognized approximately
    $10,913,000 of sales to InterTAN and interest income of
    $1,974,000.  Tandy recognized accretion of discount of
    $851,000 on the note receivable during the quarter ended
    March 31, 1994.  See the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K
    for the year ended December 31, 1994 for further information.

    Through April 1995 InterTAN has met all of its payment
    obligations to Tandy.  As a result, Tandy management believes
    that InterTAN should be able to continue to meet its payment
    obligations pursuant to its debt agreements with Tandy.

    Canadian tax authorities are reviewing InterTAN's Canadian
    subsidiary's 1987-89 tax returns.  The Company cannot
    determine whether the ultimate resolution of that review will
    have an effect on InterTAN's ability to meet its obligations
    to Tandy but, at present the Company believes that the
    ultimate resolution of this review will not impair InterTAN's
    ability to meet its obligations to Tandy.

    NOTE 3-SALE OF CREDIT OPERATIONS

    Effective March 30, 1995 the Company completed the sale, at
    net book value, of the Radio Shack and Tandy Name Brand
    Retail Group ("Tandy Name Brand") (McDuff, VideoConcepts and
    The Edge in Electronics) private label credit card accounts
    and substantially all accounts receivable to Hurley State
    Bank, a subsidiary of SPS Transaction Services, Inc. ("SPS"),
    a majority-owned subsidiary of Dean Witter, Discover & Co. As
    a result of the transaction, Tandy received $342,822,000 in
    cash and a deferred payment amount of $49,444,000.  The
    deferred payment does not bear interest.  Principal will be
    paid monthly.  The Company has discounted the deferred
    payment by $773,000 to yield approximately 5% over the eleven
    month payout period.  The discounted deferred payment amount
    of $48,671,000 is classified as a current receivable in the
    accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 1995.

    As part of the completed sales transaction, Tandy Credit
    Corporation ("Tandy Credit") was merged into Hurley
    Receivables Corporation ("HRC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of
    SPS, and no longer exists.  The merger was necessary in order
    to transfer an asset securitization program and approximately
    $230,000,000 in customer receivables which backed the
    program.  HRC assumed the ongoing obligations of the Company
    and its affiliates under the asset securitization program. On
    March 31, 1995, Tandy Credit filed Post Effective Amendment
    No. 2 to its Registration Statement on Form S-3 regarding the
    termination of the registration of all remaining unsold
    medium term notes.  The termination was declared effective as
    of April 5, 1995.  On March 31, 1995, Tandy Credit also filed
    Form 15 to de-register Tandy Credit's common stock and
    terminate its reporting obligations under Section 12g-4(a)
    (1) (i) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

    NOTE 4-RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

    In December 1994, the Company adopted a business
    restructuring plan to close or convert 233 of the 306 Tandy
    Name Brand stores.  Closed stores included 151 VideoConcepts,
    30 McDuff mall stores and 19 McDuff Supercenters.
    Approximately 33 other mall stores or McDuff Supercenters
    will be converted to Radio Shack or Computer City Express(SM)
    stores sometime in 1995.  At March 31, 1995 all 233 stores
    had been closed.  Approximately 57 McDuff Supercenters and 16
    The Edge in Electronics stores remain open and as of January
    1, 1995 became part of the Specialty Retail Group of Radio
    Shack.  A pre-tax charge of $89,071,000 taken in the fourth
    quarter of fiscal 1994 related to the closing and conversion
    of these stores.  The components of the restructuring charge
    and an analysis of the amounts charged against the reserve
    are outlined in the following table:

    </TABLE>

    Sales and operating revenues associated with the closing of
    233 Tandy Name Brand stores were approximately $28,350,000
    and $65,926,000 for the quarters ended March 31, 1995 and
    1994, respectively.  In conjunction with this restructuring,
    Tandy terminated 1,425 employees most of whom were store
    employees and managers.

    NOTE 5-SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM

    On August 1, 1994, the Company announced that its Board of
    Directors authorized management to purchase up to 7,500,000
    shares of its common stock in addition to shares required for
    employee plans.  On December 30, 1994, the Board of Directors
    authorized management to increase the share repurchase
    program to 12,500,000 shares.  Future purchases will be made
    from time to time in the open market, and it is expected that
    funding for the remainder of the program will come from
    existing cash, short-term debt and proceeds from the sale of
    the credit card portfolios. At March 31, 1995, approximately
    8,800,000 shares had been repurchased under this program.

    NOTE 6-RETIREMENT OF DEBT

    In January 1995, the $45,000,000 of 8.69% senior notes which
    were outstanding at December 31, 1994 were paid in full.
    These senior notes had been outstanding since February 7,
    1990.  In February 1995, the $6,000,000 of Tandy Credit's
    medium-term notes which were outstanding at December 31, 1994
    and were to mature in May and August of 1995 were paid in
    full.

    NOTE 7-CONTINGENCY

    The IRS Dallas field office is reviewing the Company's
    1987-1989 tax returns and has referred certain issues to the
    IRS National office.  The resolution of this matter could
    result in additional taxes and interest to the Company
    related to the spin-off of InterTAN and raises questions
    about the private letter rulings issued by the IRS regarding
    the spin-off and certain other tax matters.  Although
    aggregate additional taxes involved in these transactions
    could potentially range from $0 to $27 million, based on the
    advice of the Company's independent tax advisors, the Company
    believes it would prevail if any tax litigation had to be
    instituted.  Any ultimate tax assessment would also involve
    interest.  In any event, the Company believes the ultimate
    resolution would have no material impact on the Company's
    financial condition.

    The Company is a defendant in a consolidated action titled
    O'Sullivan Industries Holdings, Inc. Securities Litigation,
    ----------------------------------------------------------
    which was commenced in 1994 and is currently pending before
    the United States District Court for the Western District of
    Missouri.  The plaintiffs seek damages in an unspecified
    amount alleging that O'Sullivan's initial public offering
    prospectus, certain press releases and other materials
    contained material misrepresentations and omissions.  They
    have also named O'Sullivan, O'Sullivan's officers and
    directors, and the underwriters as defendants.  Tandy
    believes that the lawsuit is totally without merit and is
    defending itself vigorously.  It further believes that even
    though an adverse resolution of the litigation might have a
    negative impact on its results of operation in the year of
    resolution, resolution will not have a material adverse
    effect on its financial condition or liquidity.

    NOTE 8-HEDGING AND DERIVATIVE ACTIVITY

    The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements to
    manage its interest rate exposure by effectively trading
    floating interest rates for fixed interest rates.  As the
    Company has used the swaps to hedge certain obligations with
    floating rates, the difference between the floating and fixed
    interest rate amounts, based on these swap agreements, is
    recorded as income or expense.  Through March 31, 1995, the
    Company has entered into five swaps with regard to notional
    amounts totaling $90,000,000.  The swap agreements all expire
    during the third quarter of 1999.  Prior to 1995 the Company
    was not a party to any interest rate swaps.  The Board of
    Directors has authorized management to enter into interest
    rate swaps up to notional amounts not exceeding $250,000,000.
    At March 31, 1995, the Company would have to pay
    approximately $2,100,000 to terminate the interest rate swaps
    in place.  This amount was obtained from the counterparties
    and represents the fair value of the swap agreements; the
    amount is not recognized in the consolidated financial
    statements.  The Company has no intention of terminating the
    interest rate swap agreements at this time.  At March 31,
    1995, the weighted average interest rate of the floating rate
    obligations being hedged was 6.99%, and the weighted average
    interest rate of the fixed rate obligations imposed by the
    swap agreements was 7.70%.  The interest rate swap agreements
    have been entered into with major financial institutions
    which are expected to fully perform under the terms of the
    swap agreements.

    NOTE 9-PERCS CONVERSION

    Tandy announced on January 23, 1995 that it had exercised its
    right to call all the issued and outstanding Preferred Equity
    Redemption Convertible Stock ("PERCS") for conversion on
    March 10, 1995, prior to its mandatory conversion date of
    April 15, 1995.  For each PERCS depositary share redeemed,
    0.787757 Tandy common shares were issued for an aggregate of
    approximately 11,816,000 shares.  In addition, each PERCS
    depositary share received a dividend in cash of $0.321
    representing the accrued dividend from January 16, 1995
    through the redemption date of March 10, 1995.

    </TABLE>

    U.S. and Canada continuing retail operations had a 31.0%
    sales gain for the quarter ended March 31, 1995. 
    Consolidated sales and operating revenues for the quarter
    were up 23.6% to $1,226,622,000.  Tandy's overall comparable
    store sales gains approximated 6.6% for the quarter.
    Incredible Universe was a key contributor to the sales growth
    with 162.4% sales growth and 16.1% same store gains.  Since
    March 31, 1994, Incredible Universe added five stores and
    plans an additional eight stores for 1995.  Computer sales
    during the quarter were strong at Incredible Universe.  Sales
    of big screen televisions and home theater products were also
    strong, offset slightly by appliance sales which were down
    but in line with industry trends.  Computer City was also a
    major contributor to Tandy's sales growth with an overall
    increase of 78.8% and comparable store sales gains of 12.7%.
    Thirty-one stores have been added to the Computer City chain
    since March 31, 1994, including four which were added in the
    quarter ended March 31, 1995.  It is anticipated that
    Computer City will add four to five new stores in the second
    quarter of 1995 and by the end of 1995 Computer City plans to
    have approximately 100 stores.  Sales of Pentium(R)
    processor-based computers and multimedia products were strong
    at Computer City.  Radio Shack's sales reflected an increase
    in sales of core electronic products which was partially
    offset by a decline in computer sales.  Non-computer sales at
    Radio Shack were up 9.0% for the quarter.  As of January 1,
    1995, Radio Shack sales include the sales for Tandy Name
    Brand Retail Group ("Tandy Name Brand") stores which were not
    closed and are now included in the Specialty Retail Group of
    Radio Shack.  Radio Shack comparable store sales gains for
    the quarter were 3.9%.  Commencing in March 1994, InterTAN
    Inc. ("InterTAN") purchases from third parties through A&A
    International were no longer recorded as sales, but instead
    A&A International recognized commission income on such
    purchases; therefore, sales by A&A International as reported
    in the Import/Export group have decreased approximately
    $9,288,000 for the quarter but earned income relating thereto
    was not materially different.  Increases in repair and other
    income from support operations have partially offset this
    decrease.

    Gross Profit

    Gross profit as a percent of net sales was 36.4% during the
    three months ended March 31, 1995 as compared to 41.1% during
    the corresponding 1994 period.  This trend toward lower gross
    margins is expected to continue as additional sales are made
    by Computer City(R) and Incredible Universe(R) stores which
    operate on lower margins.  In the first quarter of 1995,
    Computer City and Incredible Universe accounted for
    approximately 41.8% of consolidated sales compared to 26.5%
    in the first quarter of 1994.  This mix of business shift
    continues to be partially offset by increasing margins at
    Radio Shack resulting from the increased emphasis on sales of
    core categories, although the offset was less than seen in
    1994.

    Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

    Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses as a
    percent of sales and operating revenues declined 3.0
    percentage points in comparison with the first quarter of
    1994.  Most expense categories, including rent, payroll and
    utilities, were lower as a percent of sales during the three
    months ended March 31, 1995 as compared with the same prior
    period results.  The lower rent and payroll costs as a
    percent of sales reflects the lower relative costs associated
    with the Company's newer retail formats.  As a result of
    Computer City and Incredible Universe expansion into new
    markets and Radio Shack's new promotional programs such as
    The Repair Shop at Radio Shack(R) service, consolidated
    advertising costs increased $8,751,000 or 23.3% this quarter
    in comparison with the prior year period.  The Company
    expects SG&A expenses as a percent of sales to continue to
    decrease as Computer City and Incredible Universe, which
    operate at lower costs than consolidated Tandy Corporation,
    become more significant portions of the Company's total
    business.

    Sale of Credit Operations

    In a transaction completed on March 30, 1995, the Company
    sold the Radio Shack and Tandy Name Brand (McDuff,
    VideoConcepts and The Edge in Electronics) private label
    credit card accounts and substantially all accounts
    receivable to Hurley State Bank, a subsidiary of SPS
    Transaction Services, Inc., a majority-owned subsidiary of
    Dean Witter, Discover & Co., resulting in no material gain or
    loss.  The transaction should impact future periods as
    follows: (1) SG&A costs incurred in processing the private
    label credit card accounts will be eliminated and (2) no
    interest income will be recorded and customer service fees
    earned on the credit card accounts will decline as the
    Company's remaining consumer credit balances decrease during
    1995 and 1996.

    Restructuring Charges

    Sales and operating revenues associated with the closing of
    233 Tandy Name Brand stores were approximately $28,350,000
    and $65,926,000 for the quarters ended March 31, 1995 and
    1994, respectively.  In conjunction with this restructuring,
    Tandy terminated 1,425 employees most of whom were store
    employees and managers.

    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 1995 and 1994
    were 38.5% and 38.25%, respectively.  The increase reflects
    shifts of income into states with higher income tax rates
    such as California, New York and Ohio.

    The IRS Dallas field office is reviewing the Company's
    1987-1989 tax returns and has referred certain issues to the
    IRS National office.  The resolution of this matter could
    result in additional taxes and interest to the Company
    related to the spin-off of InterTAN and raises questions
    about the private letter rulings issued by the IRS regarding
    the spin-off and certain other tax matters.  Although
    aggregate additional taxes involved in these transactions
    could potentially range from $0 to $27 million, based on the
    advice of the Company's independent tax advisors, the Company
    believes it would prevail if any tax litigation had to be
    instituted.  Any ultimate tax assessment would also involve
    interest.  In any event, the Company believes the ultimate
    resolution would have no material impact on the Company's
    financial condition.

    Earnings Per Share

    Net income per average common and common equivalent share is
    computed by dividing net income less the Series B convertible
    stock dividends by the weighted average common and common
    equivalent shares outstanding during the period.  As the
    Preferred Equity Redemption Convertible Stock ("PERCS")
    mandatorily convert into common stock, they are considered
    outstanding common stock and the dividends are not deducted
    from net income for purposes of calculating net income per
    average common and common equivalent share.  Current quarter
    weighted average share calculations include approximately
    11,816,000 common shares relating to the conversion of the
    PERCS into common shares on March 10, 1995.  Per share
    amounts and the weighted average number of shares outstanding
    for the quarter ended March 31, 1994 also reflect the PERCS
    conversion into approximately 11,816,000 common shares. 
    Fully diluted earnings available per common and common
    equivalent share are not presented since dilution is less
    than 3%.

    Cash Flow and Financial Condition

    Cash flow from operating activities increased in the
    three-month period ended March 31, 1995 as compared with the
    same period of the prior year.  This increase relates
    primarily to the sale of the credit card portfolios and the
    reduction of inventories partially offset by a net decrease
    in accounts payable, accrued expenses and income taxes.

    Cash used by investing activities for the three-month period
    ended March 31, 1995 includes property, plant and equipment
    additions related to additional fixtures required for the
    Radio Shack Gift Express program, new Radio Shack stores and
    the Company's expansion of its Computer City and Incredible
    Universe store formats.  Management anticipates that capital
    expenditure requirements will approximate $160,000,000 for
    the remainder of 1995, primarily to support the Computer City
    and Incredible Universe store expansions.  Cash used for
    financing activities for the three-month period ended March
    31, 1995, includes continued purchases of treasury stock
    under the share repurchase program.  Repayments of long-term
    borrowings includes the $45,000,000 of 8.69% senior notes and
    Tandy Credit's medium-term notes of $6,000,000.  The Company
    believes that its cash flow from operations, cash on hand and
    availability under its existing debt facilities are adequate
    to fund the planned expansion of its store formats and share
    repurchase program.  In addition, most of the Company's new
    store expenditures are being funded through operating leases.


    Cash and short-term investments at March 31, 1995 were
    $233,718,000 as compared to $205,633,000 at December 31, 1994
    and $369,710,000 at March 31, 1994.  Total debt as a
    percentage of total capitalization was 19.0% at March 31,
    1995, compared to 17.3% at December 31, 1994 and 12.3% at
    March 31, 1994.  Long-term debt as a percentage of total
    capitalization was 7.5% at March 31, 1995 compared to 6.9% at
    December 31, 1994 and 6.4% at March 31, 1994.  The increases
    in debt ratios results primarily from the Company's share
    repurchase program described below.

    On August 1, 1994, the Company announced that its Board of
    Directors authorized management to purchase up to 7,500,000
    shares of its common stock in addition to shares required for
    employee plans.  On December 30, 1994, the Board of Directors
    authorized management to increase the share repurchase
    program to 12,500,000 shares.  Future purchases will be made
    from time to time in the open market, and it is expected that
    funding for the remainder of the program will come from
    existing cash, short-term debt and proceeds from the sale of
    the credit card portfolios. At March 31, 1995, approximately
    8,800,000 shares had been repurchased under this program.

    Inventory

    Compared to March 31, 1994, total inventories at March 31,
    1995 have increased $152,706,000 or 13.0%.  The increase in
    total inventory levels included inventory increases to
    support new Computer City and Incredible Universe stores. 
    The majority of this increase was offset by decreased
    inventory levels at Tandy Name Brands due to the closure of
    233 stores in the quarter ended March 31, 1995.  Inventory
    levels have decreased 12.0% from the amounts at December 31,
    1994 primarily due to seasonal fluctuations and closing of
    Tandy Name Brand stores.  Inventory is primarily comprised of
    finished goods.

    InterTAN Update

    As of March 31, 1995 InterTAN owed Tandy an aggregate of
    $35,994,000, net of discount.  The current portion of the
    obligation approximates $7,135,000 and the non-current
    portion approximates $28,859,000.  In the first quarter of
    1995, Tandy recognized $1,097,000 in accretion of discount on
    the note receivable from InterTAN which resulted from the
    purchase of the bank debt at a discounted price.  Tandy
    recognized sales to and commission income from InterTAN of
    approximately $2,349,000 and interest income of $2,096,000
    during the quarter ended March 31, 1995.  During the quarter
    ended March 31, 1994, Tandy recognized approximately
    $10,913,000 of sales to InterTAN and interest income of
    $1,974,000.  Tandy recognized accretion of discount of
    $851,000 on the note receivable during the quarter ended
    March 31, 1994.  See the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K
    for the year ended December 31, 1994 for further information.

    Through April 1995 InterTAN has met all of its payment
    obligations to Tandy.  As a result, Tandy management believes
    that InterTAN should be able to continue to meet its payment
    obligations pursuant to its debt agreements with Tandy.

    Canadian tax authorities are reviewing InterTAN's Canadian
    subsidiary's 1987-89 tax returns.  The Company cannot
    determine whether the ultimate resolution of that review will
    have an effect on InterTAN's ability to meet its obligations
    to Tandy but, at present the Company believes that the
    ultimate resolution of this review will not impair InterTAN's
    ability to meet its obligations to Tandy.

                  PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

    ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

    The Company is a defendant in a consolidated action titled
    O'Sullivan Industries Holdings, Inc. Securities Litigation,
    ----------------------------------------------------------
    which was commenced in 1994 and is currently pending before
    the United States District Court for the Western District of
    Missouri.  The plaintiffs seek damages in an unspecified
    amount alleging that O'Sullivan's initial public offering
    prospectus, certain press releases and other materials
    contained material misrepresentations and omissions.  They
    have also named O'Sullivan, O'Sullivan's officers and
    directors, and the underwriters as defendants.  Tandy
    believes that the lawsuit is totally without merit and is
    defending itself vigorously.  It further believes that even
    though an adverse resolution of the litigation might have a
    negative impact on its results of operation in the year of
    resolution, resolution will not have a material adverse
    effect on its financial condition or liquidity.

    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, securities
    matters, tax deficiencies, violations of permits or licenses,
    and breach of contract and other matters 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, 1995.  While
    certain of these matters involve substantial amounts, and
    although occasional adverse settlements or resolutions might
    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 Tandy's financial position.


    ITEM 6.  EXHIBITS AND REPORTS ON FORM 8-K.

             a) Exhibits Required by Item 601 of Regulation S-K.

                A list of the exhibits required by Item 601 of
                Regulation S-K and filed as part of this report
                is set forth in the Index to Exhibits on page 14,
                which immediately precedes such exhibits.

             b) Reports on Form 8-K.

             1) On December 30, 1994, the Company announced the
                sale of part of the credit card portfolios of
                Tandy Credit Corporation, the transfer of most of
                its extended service contract obligations, the
                discontinuance of all VideoConcept stores and
                most McDuff mall stores, and some McDuff
                Supercenters stores, and an increase of its share
                repurchase program to 12.5 million shares.  The
                Company also announced that Dwain H. Hughes was
                named Senior Vice President and Chief Financial
                Officer of Tandy Corporation, effective January
                1, 1995.  The Form 8-K was filed on January 6,
                1995.

             2) On January 18, 1995, the Company entered into
                an agreement to sell its Radio Shack and Tandy
                Name Brand Retail Group (McDuff, VideoConcepts
                and The Edge in Electronics) private label credit
                card portfolios to Hurley State Bank, a
                subsidiary of SPS Transaction Services, Inc., a
                majority-owned subsidiary of Dean Witter,
                Discover & Co., subject to regulatory approval
                and rating agency consent.  The Form 8-K was
                filed on February 2, 1995.  Pro forma financial
                information was included.

             3) On January 21, 1995, the Company elected to
                redeem on March 10, 1995 all of the 150,000
                shares of its Series C Conversion Preferred Stock
                (the "Preferred Stock").  The shares of Preferred
                Stock to be redeemed constitute all of the shares
                of Preferred Stock currently outstanding.
