                                TANDYCRAFTS, INC.
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 - BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The accompanying unaudited condensed 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, the
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments
(consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement
of the Company's financial position as of March 31, 1995 and June 30, 1994, and
the results of operations and cash flows for the nine-month periods ended March
31, 1995 and March 31, 1994.  Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified
to conform to the current year classification.  The results of operations for
the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 1995 and 1994 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.
The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
financial statement disclosures contained in the Company's 1994 Annual Report to
Stockholders.

NOTE 2 - REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY

In September 1994, the Company's $50 million revolving credit facility with a
group of banks was expanded to $60 million under the existing terms.  The
Company also established a separate unsecured $5 million borrowing facility from
one of the banks, with interest charged on borrowings based on the bank's prime
rate.

NOTE 5 - ACQUISITION

Effective November 1, 1994, the Company acquired the assets and assumed certain
liabilities of the Novelty Division of Trench Manufacturing Company, Inc.
("Trench").  Trench's Novelty Division manufactures pennants, bumper stickers,
foam hands and other novelty items.  The acquisition was made for approximately
$3.2 million in cash and resulted in the recording of goodwill of $2.7 million,
which is being amortized over forty years.  This acquisition is considered
insignificant for presentation of pro forma financial information.

NOTE 6 - CONTINGENT PAYMENT

In connection with the November 1993 acquisition of Impulse Designs, the Asset
Purchase Agreement provides for a contingent cash payment to be made based upon
the attainment of certain earnings thresholds for the year ended December 31,
1994.  An estimated contingent payment of $4.3 million, subject to final
resolution of any disputed items, has been accrued in the March 31, 1995 balance
sheet.  This payment was paid in April 1995.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net sales
Consolidated net sales for the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 1995
increased 4.6% and 24.0%, respectively, compared to the same periods last year.
Discussions relative to each of the Company's industry segments are set forth
below.                                                                     

Specialty retail
Net sales for the specialty retail segment increased 8.9% for the quarter and
9.8% for the nine months ended March 31, 1995 compared to the same periods last
year.  The specialty retail segment contributed 49.7% and 45.7% of consolidated
net sales for the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 1995,
respectively, compared to 47.8% and 51.7%, respectively, for the same periods
last year.

Tandy Leather Company's net retail sales and same-store sales decreased 2.9% for
the quarter and for the nine months ended March 31, 1995 compared to the same
periods last year.  The decrease in sales reflects a decrease in the average
number of transactions per store compared to the same periods last year due
primarily to a decline in sales of southwest fashion merchandise.  The decrease
in sales related to this merchandise category is due in part to a decline in
popularity, but also partly due to increased competition in this category.

Sav-On Discount Office Supplies ("Sav-On") achieved total net sales increases of
43.9% and 36.9% for the quarter and nine-month periods ended March 31, 1995,
respectively, compared to the same periods last year.  The increase in total net
sales was primarily due the effect of new store openings.  Sav-On had 36 stores
open at March 31, 1995, including six stores opened during the quarter, compared
to 18 stores open a year ago.  Same-store sales increased 4.1% for the quarter
and decreased 0.9% for the nine months ended March 31, 1995 over the respective
periods last year.  A primary reason for the flat same-store sales for the nine-
month period ended March 31, 1995, was management's decision to forego in fiscal
1995 certain low margin government and contract sales at the store level which
occurred in the months of July and December of fiscal 1994.

Joshua's Christian Stores ("Joshua's") had total net sales increases of 21.2%
and 31.3% for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 1995, respectively,
compared to the same periods last year.  The increase in total net sales is
primarily due to the effect of new store openings.  Joshua's had 70 stores open
at March 31, 1995 compared to 58 stores open at March 31, 1994.  Same-store
sales were flat for the quarter and increased 3.4% for the nine-month period
ended March 31, 1995.  Same-store sales for the quarter and nine months reflect
the impact of Easter falling two weeks later this year compared to last year
(April 16 versus April 3 last year) resulting in a shift in the timing of sales
from March to April.  Same-store sales results also reflect the impact of
increased competition in certain markets.

Total net sales for Cargo Furniture & Accents ("Cargo") decreased 3.7% for the
quarter and 2.6% for the nine months ended March 31, 1995 compared to the same
periods last year primarily as a result of having fewer stores open.  At March
31, 1995, there were 40 Cargo stores open compared to 44 a year earlier.  Same-
store sales increases for the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 1995
were 4.9% and 4.0%, respectively.

Specialty manufacturing
Net sales for the specialty manufacturing segment increased 0.7% and 39.3% for
the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 1995, respectively, compared to
the corresponding periods a year ago. The specialty manufacturing segment
contributed 50.3% and 54.3% of consolidated net sales for the three and nine-
month periods ended March 31, 1995, respectively, compared to 52.2% and 48.3%,
respectively, for the same periods last year.

Net sales for the Picture Frames and Framed Art division decreased 9.6% for the
three months ended March 31, 1995 compared to the same period last year.  The
decrease was due primarily to a shift in the timing of certain promotional sales
from the third quarter to the second and fourth quarters.  Offsetting this
decrease was the addition of a major new account and the introduction of a new
line of plastic moldings.  Net sales for the nine months ended March 31, 1995
increased 45.2% compared to the same period last year.  The increase reflects
the contribution of Impulse Designs which was acquired effective November 1,
1993 as well as strong demand from the existing customer base and the addition
of new customers.

Net sales for the Belts and Accessories division decreased 20.1% for the quarter
ended March 31, 1995 compared to the same quarter last year.  The decrease in
sales for the quarter reflects continuing weak demand in the cut-up belt market
and continued softness in the western apparel market.  Net sales for the nine
months ended March 31, 1995 increased 18.4% compared to the same period last
year, primarily due to the acquisition of Prestige Leather Creations effective
as of November 1, 1993.

Net sales for the Outerwear division decreased 1.8% for the quarter and
increased 5.4% for the nine months ended March 31, 1995 compared to the
corresponding periods last year.  The increase in sales for the nine-month
period primarily reflects the contribution of Birdlegs, which was acquired
effective October 1, 1993.  Sales for both the quarter and nine-month periods
were adversely affected by continued soft demand experienced in the western
apparel market.  Sales for the nine-month period were also adversely impacted by
the warm weather conditions in the fall and early winter which affected the sale
of jackets and sweatshirts.

Net sales for the Tandy Wholesale International ("TWI") division, increased
78.9% and 77.5% for the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 1995,
respectively, compared to the same periods last year.  The increase in net sales
for the quarter reflects the contributions of Rivertown Button and College Flags
which were acquired effective April 1, 1994 and June 1, 1994, respectively.  The
increase in net sales for the nine-month period reflects the contributions of
Rivertown Button and College Flags as well as the contribution from Tag Express,
which was acquired effective September 1, 1994.  Sales for both the quarter and
for the nine months also reflect strong sales gains from the wholesale
operations of the Tandy Leather Company and Tag Express primarily as a result of
the addition of new customers, penetration into  new markets and the
introduction of new product lines.

Operating income
Total operating income before corporate expenses decreased $3,660,000, or 87.5%,
and $52,000, or 0.4%, for the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 1995,
respectively, compared to the same periods last year.  A discussion of operating
income for each segment follows:

Specialty retail
Operating income for the specialty retail segment decreased $1,041,000, or
98.5%, and $2,024,000, or 37.6%, for the three and nine-month periods ended
March 31, 1995, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods last year.
The specialty retail segment contributed 3.1% and 23.3% of consolidated
operating income before corporate expenses for the three and nine-month periods
ended March 31, 1995, respectively, compared to 25.3% and 37.2%, respectively,
for the same periods last year.

Operating income for Tandy Leather decreased $222,000, or 21.6%, for the quarter
and $479,000, or 12.6%, for the nine-month period ended March 31, 1995 compared
to the same periods last year.  The decrease in operating income is primarily a
result of the decrease in sales, particularly sales of Southwest fashion
merchandise with its corresponding higher gross profit.  While gross profit as a
percent of sales for the quarter increased compared to the same quarter last
year, gross profit decreased approximately $87,000 due primarily to the decrease
in sales.  SG&A expenses for the quarter increased approximately $100,000
compared to the same quarter last year reflecting an increase in advertising
expense.  For the nine-month period, gross profit as a percentage of sales
decreased slightly compared to the same period last year due primarily to a
change in the sales mix resulting in a decrease in gross profit of approximately
$829,000.  SG&A expenses decreased approximately $367,000 for the nine months
compared to the same period last year, however, expenses as a percent of sales
were up slightly due to the decrease in sales.

Sav-On experienced operating losses of $453,000 and $1,164,000 for the three and
nine-month periods ended March 31, 1995, respectively, compared to an operating
loss of $50,000 and operating income of $75,000 for the respective periods last
year.  The fluctuation in operating income is primarily a result of start-up and
increased administrative expenses incurred in expanding the store base from 18
stores at March 31, 1994 to 36 stores at March 31, 1995, including six stores
opened during the quarter.  Gross profit as a percent of sales for the quarter
decreased compared to the same quarter last year primarily as a result of
escalating paper costs.  Gross profit as a percent of sales for the nine-month
period has remained consistent with the prior year; however, administrative
expenses have increased as a percent of sales reflecting new store openings as
well as the investment made to strengthen the management team and to build the
necessary infrastructure to support a larger store base.

Joshua's Christian Stores experienced an operating loss for the quarter ended
March 31, 1995 of $389,000 compared to break-even for the same quarter last
year.  For the nine months ended March 31, 1995, Joshua's operating income was
$494,000 compared to operating income for the same period last year of $854,000.
While gross margins for the quarter and nine-month periods remained relatively
constant with the prior year periods, selling, general and administrative
expenses increased as a percent of sales.   The increase in expenses was due
primarily to increased advertising, increased labor expense as a result of store
expansion and the addition of corporate support personnel, and increases in
communication and data processing expenses associated with the installation and
implementation of a new merchandising and management information system.  These
costs reflect an investment made in building the necessary systems to support
and manage a much larger store base.

Operating income for Cargo Furniture & Accents decreased $27,000, or 33.8%, for
the quarter and increased $54,000, or 8.4%, for the nine-month period ended
March 31, 1995 compared to the same periods last year.  The decrease in
operating income for the quarter is primarily due to a decrease in sales
resulting from fewer stores in operation.  Gross profit as a percentage of sales
for the quarter decreased slightly from a year ago due primarily to a change in
sales mix.  The decrease in gross profit was offset by decreased expenses,
primarily labor, occupancy and administrative expenses resulting from closed
stores and an internal reorganization.  For the nine-month period, gross profit
as a percent of sales remained consistent with the prior year; however, expenses
decreased as a percent of sales reflecting cost savings stemming from closed
stores as well as from an internal reorganization.

Specialty manufacturing
Operating income for the specialty manufacturing segment decreased $2,619,000,
or 83.8%, for the quarter and increased $1,972,000, or 21.7%, for the nine-month
period ended March 31, 1995 compared to the same periods last year.  The
specialty manufacturing segment contributed 96.9% and 76.7% of consolidated
operating income before corporate expenses for the three and nine-month periods
ended March 31, 1995, respectively, compared to 74.7% and 62.8%, respectively,
for the same periods last year.

Operating income for the Picture Frames and Framed Art division decreased
$1,487,000, or 71.4%, for the quarter and increased $4,796,000, or 91.0%, for
the nine-month period ended March 31, 1995 compared to the corresponding periods
last year.  The decrease in operating income for the quarter reflects the
decrease in sales and the corresponding impact on production efficiency as well
as price increases for certain raw materials, primarily glass and paper
products, which have not yet been passed on to customers.  Selling, general and
administrative expenses for the quarter also increased compared to the same
quarter last year primarily due to higher costs associated with moving to a
larger facility and additional personnel to support sales growth.  The increase
in operating income for the nine-month period reflects the contribution of
Impulse Designs which was acquired effective November 1, 1993.  The increase in
operating income for the nine months also reflects increased sales and improved
gross margins resulting from manufacturing efficiency gains and a more
profitable sales mix.

The Belts and Accessories division posted operating losses of $69,000 and
$450,000 for the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 1995,
respectively, compared to operating income of $439,000 and $973,000 for the
corresponding periods last year.  The decrease in operating profitability for
the quarter and nine months compared to the same periods last year reflects the
continued softness in demand experienced in the cut-up and western apparel
markets, resulting in lower sales and gross margins.  Gross margins were also
negatively impacted by increased raw materials costs, primarily leather, and
increased labor costs.

The Outerwear division had operating losses of $262,000 and $662,000 for the
three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 1995, respectively, compared to
operating income of $12,000 and $501,000 for the corresponding periods last
year.  The decrease in operating profitability for the quarter and nine months
compared to the prior year periods reflects the softness in demand experienced
in the western apparel market as well as the warm weather conditions in the fall
and early winter which adversely impacted sales of sweatshirts and jackets.
Gross margins were also negatively impacted by increased raw materials costs and
increased labor costs which could not be passed on to customers.

The TWI division's operating income decreased $350,000, or 59.2%, and $238,000,
or 10.2%, for the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 1995,
respectively, compared to the corresponding periods last year.  The decrease in
operating income for the quarter and nine months reflects the continuing impact
of the Major League Baseball players strike on the sales of related licensed
products as well as production problems encountered in bringing the recently
acquired pennant manufacturing operation up to capacity.

Selling, general and administrative expenses
Consolidated selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were 38.1% and
32.5% for the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 1995, respectively,
compared to 32.4% and 31.2% for the corresponding periods last year.  In total
dollars, SG&A expenses increased $3,878,000, or 22.8%, and $14,415,000, or
29.2%, for the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 1995, respectively,
compared to the corresponding periods last year.  The increase in expenses for
the three and nine-month periods was primarily due to acquisitions included for
a full period this year compared to a partial period last year and to new store
openings.

Interest expense
Interest expense increased $525,000, or 110.3%, and $1,772,000, or 176.3%, for
the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 1995, respectively, compared to
the corresponding periods of the prior year.  The increase in interest expense
was due to an increase in average borrowings during the current year periods
compared to the prior year and increased interest rates.

Depreciation and amortization
Consolidated depreciation and amortization increased $419,000, or 40.1%, and
$1,155,000, or 40.3%, for the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 1995,
respectively, compared to the corresponding periods last year.  The increase is
due primarily to depreciation related to property and equipment of businesses
acquired as well as amortization of goodwill related to acquisitions.
Depreciation expense has also increased over the prior year periods due to a
higher level of capital expenditures in the current year periods.

Provision for income taxes
The Company's effective income tax rate for the nine months ended March 31, 1995
was 35.5% compared to 38.3% for the same period last year.  The reduction in the
effective tax rate reflects the Company's utilization of both federal and state
hiring tax credit programs as well as tax benefits generated from the creation
of a Foreign Sales Corporation.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations, sales
of treasury stock to the ESOP, and borrowings under the Company's revolving
credit facility.  The funds generated from these sources have been used
primarily to finance acquisitions, purchase property and equipment, retire the
ESOP loan and finance growth in inventories and receivables.

During the nine months ended March 31, 1995, cash increased $383,000.  Cash used
by operating activities of $5,645,000 resulted primarily from an increase in
inventories and a decrease in accrued liabilities.  The increase in inventories
relates mainly to new store expansion and anticipated sales growth.  The
decrease in accrued liabilities relates primarily to a reduction of accrued
payroll and bonus.  Cash used for investing activities of $11,580,000 resulted
primarily from capital expenditures for property and equipment and the
acquisition of the Novelty Division of Trench Manufacturing Company, Inc., which
required a cash payment of approximately $3.2 million.  Cash of $17,608,000 was
provided by financing activities, primarily from borrowings under the Company's
revolving credit facility.

In September 1994, the Company's $50 million revolving credit facility with a
group of banks was increased to $60 million under the existing terms.  The
Company also established a separate unsecured $5 million borrowing facility from
one of the banks, with interest charged on borrowings based on the bank's prime
rate.

In connection with the November 1993 acquisition of Impulse Designs, the Asset
Purchase Agreement provides for a contingent cash payment to be made based upon
the attainment of certain earnings thresholds for the year ended December 31,
1994.  An estimated contingent payment of $4.3 million, subject to final
resolution of any disputed items, has been accrued in the March 31, 1995 balance
sheet.  This payment was subsequently paid in April 1995.

Capital expenditures totaled approximately $7.8 million for the nine months
ended March 31, 1995.  Planned capital expenditures for the remainder of fiscal
1995 approximate $1.2 million.  Current store expansion plans call for Sav-On to
open 2 new stores and Joshua's Christian Stores to add 4 stores for the
remainder of fiscal 1995.  Funding for new store expansion planned for the
remainder of fiscal 1995, exclusive of capital expenditures, is estimated to
approximate $575,000.  Management believes that the Company's current cash
position, its cash flows from operations and available borrowing capacity will
be sufficient to fund its current operations, capital expenditures and current
growth plans.

Acquisitions
Effective November 1, 1994, the Company acquired the assets and assumed certain
liabilities of the Novelty Division of Trench Manufacturing Company, Inc.
("Trench").  Trench's Novelty Division manufactures and markets pennants, bumper
stickers, foam hands and other novelty items.  The acquisition was made for
approximately $3.2 million in cash and resulted in the recording of goodwill of
$2.7 million, which is being amortized over forty years.  This acquisition did
not have a significant impact on sales or operating income for the quarter or
nine-month period ended March 31, 1995.

The Company may, from time to time, evaluate acquisition candidates which
complement its existing businesses.  To the extent that debt is utilized to
finance any such acquisitions and goodwill related to such acquisitions is
recorded, results of operations in future periods will be impacted by increased
interest expense and the amortization of goodwill associated with such
acquisitions.
