NOTE 4 - STRATEGIC RESTRUCTURING AND CONSOLIDATION PROGRAM
Description
In the quarter ended December 31, 1995, the Company adopted a strategic
restructuring and consolidation program. The primary components of this program
include: (i) the sale of Cargo Furniture and Accents, (ii) the sale or closure
of Prestige Leather Creations, David James Manufacturing, Brand Name Apparel and
certain other individually insignificant operations, (iii) the closure of 11
retail stores including two at Sav-On Discount Office Supplies, five at Joshua's
Christian Stores and four at Tandy Leather Company, (iv) the consolidation of
certain functions within TWI ("Tandy Wholesale International") of Nocona Belt
Company and Rivertown Button Company, which has been relocated from Houston,
Minnesota to Fort Worth, Texas, (v) the consolidation, streamlining and, in some
cases, outsourcing of certain functions throughout various operating units, and
(vi) the retention of an outside consulting firm to assist senior management in
evaluating and developing the Company's retail concepts.
The adoption of this program stems from a strategy review initiated in August
1995 during which the Company's various business units were examined, including
the role and strategy of each in generating sales and profits, as well as each
business unit's market position and growth potential. This program is designed
to improve the Company's competitive position by focusing the Company's
resources in those areas which offer the greatest potential for growth and
increased value for shareholders. Upon completion of this plan, the Company
will be comprised of three specialty retail operations; Tandy Leather Company,
Joshua's Christian Stores and Sav-On Discount Office Supplies, and two
manufacturing divisions; TWI and Frames and Framed Art.
During the quarter ended March 31, 1996 the Company sold Prestige Leather
Creations, closed David James Manufacturing and sold a certain other
individually insignificant operation. The remaining actions contemplated by
this program are expected to be substantially completed by the end of the fiscal
year. The Company has entered into letters of intent related to the sale of
certain of the remaining businesses targeted for sale or closure; however, all
such transactions are subject to completion.
Revenues and operating losses (before restructuring charges) from separately
identifiable businesses targeted for sale or closure are set forth below by
segment (in thousands):

Restructuring charges
As a result of the adoption of the strategic restructuring and consolidation
program discussed above, the Company recorded restructuring charges of $18.8
million in the quarter ended December 31, 1995. The restructuring charges
included approximately $18.0 million for asset writedowns and anticipated exit
costs associated with businesses expected to be sold or closed and $0.8 million
for asset writedowns and anticipated exit costs associated with the closure of
eleven retail stores. Approximately $16.1 million of the restructuring charges
related to non-cash writedowns of assets to their estimated realizable values,
including $7.5 million related to the write off of goodwill, $6.1 million
related to the liquidation of inventories, $1.2 million related to the writedown
of fixed assets, and $1.3 million related to the writedown of various other
assets. The remaining $2.7 million of the restructuring charge represented
anticipated cash outlays. Approximately $2.0 million relates to lease
obligations and the remainder related to other contractual obligations and exit
costs. No severance costs were included in the restructuring charges.
As a result of the sale of Prestige Leather Creations, the Company recognized a
credit of $501,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 1996 reflecting the reversal
of a portion of the previously established restructuring reserve to write down
assets to estimated realizable value.

The above provisions are estimates based on the Company's judgment at this time.
Adjustments to the restructuring provisions may be necessary in the future based
on further development of restructuring related costs. Although no additional
restructuring plans are currently under consideration, the Company continues to
evaluate possible actions which will improve the profitability and competitive
position of the Company.
NOTE 5 - CONTINGENT PAYMENT SETTLEMENT
In connection with the November 1993 acquisition of Impulse Designs, the asset
purchase agreement provided for a contingent payment to be made based upon the
attainment of certain earnings thresholds for the year ended March 31, 1995.
Impulse Designs met certain of these thresholds and, in January 1996, the
Company made a final cash payment of approximately $2.5 million to the former
owners of Impulse Designs to complete the transaction. This amount is reflected
as goodwill in the March 31, 1996 balance sheet. The Company also incurred
approximately $457,000 of expenses related to such settlement which were
reflected in the results of operations during the quarter ended December 31,
1995.
NOTE 6 - REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY
The Company has a $60 million revolving credit facility with a group of banks.
During July 1995, the Company established an additional $10 million revolving
credit facility that terminated on March 31, 1996. As part of the Company's
planned restructuring and consolidation program discussed earlier, the bank
group has agreed to extend the maturity date of the current revolving credit
facility to October 1, 1997 under the existing terms and to amend certain
provisions, restrictions and covenants under the revolving credit agreement as
of December 31, 1995 to allow the actions contemplated by the Company's
restructuring plan to occur without placing the Company in default. The Company
has agreed with its lending banks to reduce the commitment amount under the
revolving loan agreement from $60,000,000 to $50,000,000 by October 31, 1996.
The Company currently estimates that cash generated from the sale of assets
contemplated by the strategic restructuring program and cash flow from
operations will enable it to reduce its borrowings under the revolving credit
facility by October 31, 1996 to levels that will enable the Company to operate
within the $50,000,000 commitment amount. The above statement is a forward
looking projection that may not necessarily be predictive of future events.
Actual results could differ materially from this projection. Factors which may
cause actual results to materially differ from such projection include, but are
not limited to, the performance of each operating unit, relationships with
certain key customers, commodity price fluctuations, interest rate fluctuations,
recessionary factors, seasonality and other factors.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
GENERAL
Tandycrafts, Inc. (the "Company") operates in two primary industry segments,
specialty retail and specialty manufacturing. The specialty retail group
consists of four distinct retail concepts: Tandy Leather Company, which sells
leathercraft and related products through 175 stores located in 45 states;
Joshua's Christian Stores, which sells inspirational books, music and gifts
through a chain of 75 stores located in eight states; Sav-On Discount Office
Supplies, which sells office supplies and related products through a chain of 37
stores located primarily in smaller markets; and Cargo Furniture and Accents,
which sells a proprietary line of solid wood furniture and decorative
accessories through a chain of 39 stores located primarily in regional shopping
malls. The specialty manufacturing segment is comprised of two divisions:
Frames and Framed Art and TWI.
The following table presents selected financial data for each significant
company or division comprising the Company's two primary industry segments for
the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 (in thousands):

</TABLE>
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net sales
Consolidated net sales for the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 1996
decreased 2.4% and 2.9%, 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 7.2% and 4.2% for the three
and nine-month periods ended March 31, 1996, respectively, compared to the same
periods last year. The specialty retail segment contributed 54.7% and 49.1% of
consolidated net sales for the three and nine-month periods ended March 31,
1996, respectively, compared to 49.7% and 45.7%, respectively, for the same
periods last year.
Tandy Leather Company's net retail sales and same-store sales decreased 8.4% and
10.0% for the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 1996, respectively,
compared to the same periods last year. The decrease in sales reflects a
reduction in the average number of transactions per store compared to the
previous year resulting primarily from the continued decline in popularity of
Southwest fashion merchandise.
Sav-On Discount Office Supplies ("Sav-On") achieved total net sales increases of
44.5% and 47.3% for the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 1996,
respectively, compared to the same periods last year. The increase in total net
sales and same-store sales increases of 28.9% for the quarter and 20.3% for the
nine-months ended March 31, 1996 over the comparable periods last year were
primarily a result of increasing the customer base as newer stores continue to
mature.
Joshua's Christian Stores ("Joshua's") net sales increased 5.1% and 6.0% for the
three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 1996, respectively, compared to the
same periods last year. Joshua's had 75 stores open at March 31, 1996 compared
to 70 stores open at March 31, 1995. Same-store sales decreased 3.7% and were
flat for the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 1996, respectively,
reflecting a generally weak retail environment.
Total net sales for Cargo Furniture & Accents ("Cargo") increased 3.7% and
decreased 7.5% for the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 1996,
respectively, compared to the same periods last year. The increase in sales for
the quarter is due primarily to increased sales in the contract divisions while
the decrease in sales for the nine-month period is primarily attributable to an
average of six fewer stores being open compared to the same period last year.
Specialty manufacturing
Net sales for the specialty manufacturing segment decreased 12.0% and 9.0% for
the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 1996, respectively, compared to
the corresponding periods a year ago. The specialty manufacturing segment
contributed 45.3% and 50.9% of consolidated net sales for the three and nine-
month periods ended March 31, 1996, respectively, compared to 50.3% and 54.3%,
respectively, for the same periods last year.
Net sales for the Frames and Framed Art division increased 1.8% and decreased
5.9% for the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 1996, compared to the
same periods last year. The increase in net sales for the three-month period is
attributable to increased business with current customers and the addition of
new customers. The decrease in net sales for the nine-month period is primarily
attributable to the cancellation of certain large framed art orders for delivery
in December by a key customer.
Net sales for the Tandy Wholesale International ("TWI") division, decreased 0.5%
and increased 8.7% for the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 1996,
respectively, compared to the same periods last year. The decrease in net sales
for the quarter reflects decreased sales by Tandy Leather Manufacturing which
was partially offset by strong sale gains in the licensed products group. The
increase in the licensed product group sales is primarily a result of the
addition of new customers, penetration into new markets, and the introduction of
new product lines. The increase in net sales for the nine-month period is
attributable to strong sales gains in the licensed products group.
Operating income
The Company generated operating income of $950,000 before corporate expenses and
experienced operating losses before corporate expenses of $11,169,000 for the
three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 1996, respectively. This
represents an increase of $427,000, or 82%, and a decrease of $25,587,000, or
177.5%, for the three and nine-month periods, respectively, compared to the same
periods last year. The operating loss for the nine-month period is primarily
due to restructuring and other charges to operations reorganized during the
quarter ended December 31, 1995. A discussion of the restructuring charges and
operating income for each segment follows:
Operating income-Specialty retail
The specialty retail segment generated operating income of $198,000 and
experienced operating losses of $210,000 for the three and nine-month periods
ended March 31, 1996, respectively, compared to operating income of $16,000 and
$3,365,000 for the corresponding periods last year. The specialty retail
segment contributed 20.8% of the consolidated operating income before corporate
expenses and 1.9% of the consolidated operating loss before corporate expenses
for the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 1996, respectively,
compared to 3.0% and 23.3% of consolidated operating income before corporate
expenses for the corresponding periods last year. The operating income for the
specialty retail segment for the three-month period ended March 31, 1996 include
no restructuring charges, while the operating loss for the nine-month period
ended March 31, 1996 include restructuring charges of $835,000 related to the
closure of eleven retail stores, as discussed previously. The following
discussions of operating income are before restructuring charges.
Operating income for Tandy Leather decreased $600,000, or 74.5%, and $2,058,000,
or 61.7%, for the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 1996,
respectively, 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. Gross
profit decreased $1,010,000 and $2,319,000 for the three and nine-months ended
March 31, 1996 primarily as a result of decreased sales and a change in the
sales mix. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $425,000 and
$257,000 for the three and nine-months ended March 31, 1996 due to certain cost
cutting measures that were implemented during the quarter ended March 31, 1996.
Sav-On had operating income of $385,000 and $470,000 for the three and nine-
month periods ended March 31, 1996, respectively, compared to operating losses
of $453,000 and $1,164,000 for the corresponding periods last year. The
increase in operating income is primarily a result of increased sales and
efficiency gains at both stores and administrative units. Gross profit, as a
percent of sales, for the three and nine-months ended March 31, 1996 increased
compared to the same respective periods last year primarily as a result of more
effective inventory management. Administrative expenses have decreased as a
percent of sales reflecting a larger increase in sales relative to
administrative and support expenses.
Joshua's Christian Stores experienced operating losses of $430,000 and
$1,346,000 for the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 1996,
respectively, compared to operating losses of $389,000 and operating income of
$494,000 for the comparable periods last year. The decrease in operating income
was primarily attributable to increased selling, general and administrative
expenses during the three and nine-month periods and from decreased gross
margins during the nine-month period which were primarily attributable to a
$900,000 inventory write-down in December 1995.
Operating income for Cargo Furniture & Accents decreased $15,000, or 28.3%, and
$476,000, or 68.0%, for the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 1996,
respectively, compared to the same periods last year. The decrease in operating
income is attributable to a decrease in gross margin and the timing of shipped
orders. The decrease in gross margin is primarily the result of sales
promotions held during the quarter ended September 30, 1995.
Operating income-Specialty manufacturing
The specialty manufacturing segment generated operating income of $752,000 and
experienced operating losses of $10,959,000 for the three and nine-month periods
ended March 31, 1996, respectively, compared to operating income of $507,000 and
$11,053,000, respectively for the same periods last year. The specialty
manufacturing segment contributed 79.2% of the consolidated operating income
before corporate expenses for the three-month period ended March 31, 1996 and
98.1% of the consolidated operating loss before corporate expenses for the nine-
month period ended March 31, 1996, compared to 97.0% and 76.7% of consolidated
operating income before corporate expenses for the same respective periods last
year. The operating results for the specialty manufacturing segment for the
three-month period include a $501,000 income adjustment to the restructuring
charge resulting from the sale of Prestige Leather Creations while the nine-
month period includes restructuring charges of $17,442,000, as discussed
previously. The following discussions of operating income by division are
before restructuring charges.
Operating income for the Frames and Framed Art division increased $272,000, or
39.6%, and decreased $3,302,000 or, 32.2% for the three and nine-month periods
ended March 31, 1996, compared to the corresponding periods last year. The
increase in operating income for the three-month period is attributable to
increased business with current customers and the addition of new customers.
The decrease in operating income for the nine-month period is primarily
attributable to the cancellation of certain large framed art orders for delivery
in December by a key customer.
The TWI division's operating income decreased $706,000, or 120.3%, and $962,000,
or 40.5%, for the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 1996,
respectively, compared to the corresponding periods last year. The decrease in
operating income for the three and nine-month periods reflects the decrease in
sales by Tandy Leather Manufacturing. The nine-month period also reflects
$170,000 of expenses associated with the relocation of Rivertown Button from
Houston, Minnesota to Fort Worth, Texas. These factors were partially offset by
increased sales and profitability in the licensed products group.
Strategic restructuring and consolidation program
In the quarter ended March 31, 1996, the Company adopted a strategic
restructuring and consolidation program. The primary components of this program
include: (i) the sale of Cargo Furniture and Accents, (ii) the sale or closure
of Prestige Leather Creations, David James Manufacturing, Brand Name Apparel and
certain other individually insignificant operations, (iii) the closure of 11
retail stores including two at Sav-On Discount Office Supplies, five at Joshua's
Christian Stores and four at Tandy Leather Company, (iv) the consolidation of
certain functions within TWI ("Tandy Wholesale International") of Nocona Belt
Company and Rivertown Button Company, which is being relocated from Houston,
Minnesota to Fort Worth, Texas, (v) the consolidation, streamlining and, in some
cases, outsourcing of certain functions throughout various operating units, and
(vi) the retention of an outside consulting firm to assist senior management in
evaluating and developing the Company's retail concepts.
The adoption of this program stems from a strategy review initiated in August
1995 during which the Company's various business units were examined, including
the role and strategy of each in generating sales and profits, as well as each
business unit's market position and growth potential. This program is designed
to improve the Company's competitive position by focusing the Company's
resources in those areas which offer the greatest potential for growth and
increased value for shareholders. Upon completion of this plan, the Company
will be comprised of three specialty retail operations; Tandy Leather Company,
Joshua's Christian Stores and Sav-On Discount Office Supplies, and two
manufacturing divisions; TWI and Frames and Framed Art.
During the quarter ended March 31, 1996, the Company sold Prestige Leather
Creations, closed David James Manufacturing and sold a certain other
individually insignificant operation. The remaining actions contemplated by
this program are expected to be substantially completed by the end of the fiscal
year. The Company has entered into letters of intent related to the sale of
certain of the businesses targeted for sale or closure; however, all such
transactions are subject to completion.
As a result of the sale of Prestige Leather Creations, the Company recognized a
credit of $501,000 reflecting the reversal of a portion of the previously
established restructuring reserve to write down assets to estimated realizable
value.
Revenues and operating losses from (before restructuring charges) separately
identifiable businesses targeted for sale or closure are set forth below by

Restructuring charges
As a result of the adoption of the strategic restructuring and consolidation
program discussed above, the Company recorded restructuring charges of $18.8
million in the quarter ended December 31, 1995. The restructuring charges
include approximately $18.0 million for asset writedowns and anticipated exit
costs associated with businesses which are expected to be sold or closed and
$0.8 million for asset writedowns and anticipated exit costs associated with the
closure of eleven retail stores. Approximately $16.1 million of the
restructuring charges relate to non-cash writedowns of assets to their estimated
realizable values, including $7.5 million related to the write off of goodwill,
$6.1 million related to the liquidation of inventories, $1.2 million related to
the writedown of fixed assets, and $1.3 million related to the writedown of
various other assets. The remaining $2.7 million of the restructuring charges
represents anticipated cash outlays. Approximately $2.0 million relates to
lease obligations and the remainder relates to other contractual obligations and
exit costs. No severance costs have been included in the restructuring charges.

The above provisions are estimates based on the Company's judgment at this time.
Adjustments to the restructuring provisions may be necessary in the future based
on further development of restructuring related costs. Although no additional
restructuring plans are currently under consideration, the Company continues to
evaluate possible actions which will improve the profitability and competitive
position of the Company.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
Consolidated selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were 34.0% and
32.8%, as a percent of sales, for the three and nine-month periods ended March
31, 1996, respectively, compared to 38.1% and 32.5% for the corresponding
periods last year. In total dollars, SG&A expenses decreased $2,716,000, or
13.0%, and $1,428,000, or 2.2%, for the three and nine-month periods ended March
31, 1996, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods last year. The
decrease in SG&A dollars for the quarter compared to last year was due primarily
to the favorable settlement of litigation which resulted in the Company
receiving approximately $1.5 million and the initial impact of a charge in the
handling of ESOP forfeitures of approximately $800,000. During the quarter, the
ESOP was amended to allow forfeited shares to be used to reduce Company
contributions to the ESOP. Previously, such forfeited shares were reallocated
to the remaining plan participants. For the nine-month period, these reductions
were partially offset by the impact of new store openings and increased expenses
related to the sales growth in the licensed products group.
Interest expense, net
Interest expense decreased $5,000, or 0.5%, for the three-month period ended
March 31, 1996, and increased $421,000, or 15.2%, for the nine-month period
ended March 31, 1996 compared to the corresponding periods of the prior year.
The decrease in interest expense during the three-month period was due to lower
interest rates compared to the same period last year, while the increase for the
nine-month period was due to an increase in average borrowings during the
current year period and to a higher average interest rate.
Depreciation and amortization
Consolidated depreciation and amortization increased $17,000, or 1.2%, and
$701,000, or 17.4%, for the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 1996,
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.
Provision for income taxes
The Company's tax benefit for the nine-months ended March 31, 1996 was
$5,873,000 compared to $2,805,000 of tax expense for the same period last year.
The tax benefit for the nine-months ended March 31, 1996 reflects current year
losses which can be carried back to recover taxes paid in prior periods. The
effective income tax rate in each nine-month period was 33% and 35.5%,
respectively. The effective income tax rate decreased 2.5% as a result of the
acceleration of permanent tax differences attributable to certain sales or
closures included in the restructuring charges discussed previously.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's primary sources of liquidity have come from cash flows from
operations, sales of treasury stock to employee benefit programs, and borrowings
under the Company's revolving credit facility. Primarily, these funds have been
used to finance acquisitions, purchase property and equipment, retire the ESOP
loan and finance the growth in inventories and receivables.
During the nine-months ended March 31, 1996, cash increased $585,000. Cash
provided by operating activities of $5,464,000 primarily resulted from a
decrease in receivables. Cash used for investing activities of $4,804,000
resulted from capital expenditures for property and equipment and the payment of
additional consideration for the acquisition of Impulse Designs, Inc. as
discussed below. Cash of approximately $75,000 was used by financing
activities.
The Company has a $60 million revolving credit facility with a group of banks.
During July 1996, the Company established an additional $10 million revolving
credit facility that terminates on March 31, 1996. As part of the Company's
planned restructuring and consolidation program discussed earlier, the bank
group has agreed to extend the maturity date of the current revolving credit
facility to October 1, 1997 under the existing terms and to amend certain
provisions, restrictions and covenants under the revolving credit agreement as
of December 31, 1995 to allow the actions contemplated by the Company's
restructuring plan to occur without placing the Company in default. The Company
has agreed with its lending banks to reduce the commitment amount under the
revolving loan agreement from $60,000,000 to $50,000,000 by October 31, 1996.
The Company currently estimates that cash generated from the sale of assets
contemplated by the strategic restructuring program and cash flow from
operations will enable it to reduce its borrowings under the revolving credit
facility by October 31, 1996 to levels that will enable the Company to operate
within the $50,000,000 commitment amount. The above statement is a forward
looking projection that may not necessarily be predictive of future events.
Actual results could differ materially from this projection. Factors which may
cause actual results to materially differ from such projection include, but are
not limited to, the performance of each operating unit, relationships with
certain key customers, commodity price fluctuations, interest rate fluctuations,
recessionary factors, seasonality and other factors.
In the quarter ended March 31, 1996, the Company sold certain assets and
liabilities of Prestige Leather for consideration of approximately $1.5 million.
Such consideration consisted of approximately $900,000 in cash and $607,000 in
notes receivable. The notes receivable bear interest at 8.5% to 9.5% and have
payment terms which mature at various dates through March 26, 2000.
In connection with the November 1993 acquisition of Impulse Designs, the asset
purchase agreement provided for a contingent payment to be made based upon the
attainment of certain earnings thresholds for the year ended March 31, 1995.
Impulse Designs met certain of these thresholds and, in January 1996, the
Company made a final cash payment of approximately $2.5 million to the former
owners of Impulse Designs to complete the transaction. This amount is reflected
as goodwill in the March 31, 1996 balance sheet. The Company also incurred
approximately $457,000 of expenses related to such settlement which were
reflected in the results of operations for the quarter ended December 31, 1995.
Cash of approximately $3,349,000 was used for capital expenditures during the
nine-months ended March 31, 1996. Planned capital expenditures for the
remainder of fiscal 1996 approximate $500,000 and are primarily targeted for
investments in the Frames and Framed Art division. No additional new store
openings are anticipated for the remainder of the fiscal year. Management
believes that the Company's current cash position, its cash flows from
operations and expected proceeds from the sale of assets contemplated by the
strategic restructuring program will be sufficient to fund its planned
operations, capital expenditures and required debt reduction for the remainder
of fiscal 1996.
