                TANDY BRANDS ACCESSORIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
                                   FORM 10-K
 
                                     PART I
 
ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
 
     Tandy Brands Accessories, Inc. ("the Company") designs, purchases,
manufactures and markets fine leather goods, accessories and neckwear for men,
women and children. The Company was incorporated on November 1, 1990. However,
the predecessor companies to its leather product manufacturing division
("Accessories") have been manufacturers and marketers of men's and boys' leather
accessories for more than 50 years and of neckwear for more than 10 years. Men's
accessories are marketed and manufactured through not only the Accessories
division, but also through Canterbury and H.A. Sheldon. In addition to its men's
accessories operations, the Company designs and markets women's and children's
accessories through Accessory Design Group, Inc. ("ADG") and Prince Gardner
("PG").
 
     The Company's merchandising strategy is to provide value to retailers and
to the ultimate consumer through a wide range of quality products. The Company's
largest selling products are belts and personal leather goods. Management
estimates these items represented approximately 86%, 87%, and 88% of the
Company's sales in fiscal 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Neckwear, women's
handbags, men's jewelry, shaving kits, umbrellas and other fashion accessories
collectively accounted for the remaining sales. Accessories, Canterbury, HAS, PG
and ADG sell their products to a variety of retail outlets, including national
chain stores, discount stores, major department stores, specialty stores,
catalogue retailers and the retail exchange operations of the United States
military. PG sells primarily women's belts, handbags and small leather
accessories. ADG's largest selling category is belts, followed by scarves,
hosiery, hair goods, evening accessories and various other fashion accessories.
 
     Accessories manufactures and markets its leather goods primarily under the
labels HICKOK(R), GREG NORMAN COLLECTION(R), PRINCE GARDNER(R), BUGLE BOY(R),
TEX TAN(R), DUCKS UNLIMITED(R), DON LOPER of BEVERLY HILLS(R), JOHN WEITZ(R),
JONES NEW YORK(R), HAGGAR(R) and various private store labels. Although
Accessories' leather product lines include similar types of merchandise,
Accessories tailors each line to appeal to the customer base of the specific
channel of distribution. The HICKOK(R), BUGLE BOY(R), and JOHN WEITZ(R) lines
are sold principally through national chain stores and mass merchandisers. The
TEX TAN(R), GREG NORMAN COLLECTION(R), PRINCE GARDNER(R), DUCKS UNLIMITED(R),
DON LOPER of BEVERLY HILLS(R), HAGGAR(R) and JONES NEW YORK(R) lines are sold
primarily through men's specialty stores and department stores. TEX TAN(R) and
DON LOPER of BEVERLY HILLS(R) goods are also sold to military retail operations.
Neckwear is sold under the labels BARRY WELLS(R), DUCKS UNLIMITED(R),
LUCARELLI(R), RHYNECLIFF(R), LE-BIL'S(R), HICKOK(R), JAMES B. FAIRCHILD(R),
ORLEANS(R), CARLOS TOMASSINI(TM) and various private store labels, and is sold
through the majority of Accessories' channels of distribution. ADG and PG
products are marketed under various labels including PRINCE GARDNER(R), PRINCESS
GARDNER(R), JONES NEW YORK(R), ACCESSORY DESIGN GROUP, and under various private
store labels. Canterbury manufactures and markets its products under the
CANTERBURY(R) label and various private store labels. HAS manufactures and
markets its products under the label JONES NEW YORK(R), GREG NORMAN
COLLECTION(R), HAGGAR(R), KODIAK(R), DICKIES(R) and various private store
labels.
 
     The Company designs all of its leather products, women's accessories and
neckwear. Generally, new product styles are introduced each Spring and Fall.
Wallets and certain other accessories are less subject to seasonal tastes and
fashion trends.
 
     In order to reduce its exposure to periods of economic decline, the Company
has diversified its channels of distribution and increased sales to other mass
merchandisers and national chain and discount stores. Wal-Mart is the Company's
largest customer, representing 36%, 35% and 40% of its total sales for the
fiscal years
 
                                        2

ended June 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The Company has no long-term
contracts with any of its customers and all accounts are subject to periodic
reviews. The Company had firm backlog orders for fiscal years 1997 and 1996
totaling $6,257,000 and $5,056,000, respectively. Shipment of backlog orders in
fiscal 1998 is subject to product availability prior to customer order
cancellation dates.
 
     The Company's marketing strategy is to develop and maintain relationships
with its retail accounts by emphasizing service and product value. The Company's
accounts are developed through the efforts of senior management, regional
managers, account executives and a sales organization of salespeople and
independent sales representatives. Senior management, regional managers, and
account executives are all utilized for concentrated, specialized selling to
national chain stores, discount stores, major department stores and catalogue
retailers. Salespeople are involved in selling and servicing most account types
and are primarily responsible for selling to specialty stores.
 
     The Company adjusts the respective percentages of domestically manufactured
and imported products and the sources of imported products, as appropriate, to
reduce labor and material costs, to diversify its product lines and to reduce
exposure to interruption of its product flow. ADG and PG import the majority of
their product lines from various foreign sources.
 
     The Company's inventory constitutes approximately 49% of total assets and
has historically turned over about twice a year. This is consistent with other
companies in the small leather goods and accessories industries, with slight
variations from year to year. This rate of turnover is due to the long lead
times associated with the purchase of raw materials to manufacture belts and the
Company's commitment to satisfy customers' rapid delivery requirements. The
major raw materials for the Company's products are readily available from a
variety of foreign and domestic sources.
 
     The Company's operating results are subject to seasonal variations as well
as the status of the economy. Its sales and operating results are fairly
consistent throughout the fiscal year, but there is generally a seasonal
increase during the second fiscal quarter. Due to receipt of cash from seasonal
sales peaks and payment terms granted certain customers of Accessories, cash
receipts increases usually occur in December and June. Current financial
resources (working capital and borrowing arrangements) and anticipated funds
from operations are expected to be adequate to meet capital requirements in the
year ahead.
 
     The Company owns the trademarks HICKOK(R), CANTERBURY(R), PRINCE
GARDNER(R), PRINCESS GARDNER(R), LUCARELLI(R), RHYNECLIFF(R), DON LOPER of
BEVERLY HILLS(R), CARLOS TOMASSINI(R), ORLEANS(R), BARRY WELLS(R), and
LE-BIL'S(R). The PRINCE GARDNER(R), PRINCESS GARDNER(R) and CANTERBURY(R) trade
names, as well as various trade names used by HAS, were purchased by the Company
through the acquisition transactions. Additionally, the Company holds licenses
to use the JONES NEW YORK(R), GREG NORMAN COLLECTION(R), BUGLE BOY(R), DUCKS
UNLIMITED(R), HAGGAR(R), TEX TAN(R), JOHN WEITZ(R), and JAMES B. FAIRCHILD(R)
trademarks. Generally, the license agreements require that the Company pay
annual royalties, ranging from 2% to 10%, based on minimum sales quotas or
sales. The terms of the agreements are typically 4 to 10 years, with options to
extend the terms, provided certain sales or royalty minimums are achieved. For
fiscal 1997, no license agreement sales accounted for 5% or more of the
Company's net sales.
 
COMPETITION
 
     The market for finished leather goods, neckwear and women's accessories is
fragmented and highly competitive. There are numerous competitors who serve the
same customers and markets as the Company.
 
EMPLOYEES
 
     The Company had approximately 669 employees at June 30, 1997. In the
opinion of the Company's management, employee relations are good. The Company's
employees are not subject to a collective bargaining agreement.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.
 
     The Company owns and operates a facility in Yoakum, Texas, which is used
for leather product manufacturing, product distribution and offices. This
facility has the capacity to manufacture approximately 4.5 million belts in a
year. During fiscal 1997, the Company's utilization averaged about 72%. The
Company leases facilities in Scarborough, Canada, and the Dominican Republic
which are used for the manufacturing of leather goods. Additionally, the Company
leases warehouse space in Dallas, Texas, for ADG and office space in Arlington,
Texas, for the corporate headquarters, ADG and PG. The Company has a renewal
option for its office space in Arlington. In the opinion of management, the
various corporate, ADG, PG, and HAS spaces are adequate and suitable for the
particular use involved. The Yoakum, Texas manufacturing and distribution
centers are considered adequate.
 
     The total space owned, leased and occupied by the Company as of June 30,
1997, was as follows:
