REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Investment Committee and Participants of the
Tandy Brands Accessories, Inc. Employees Investment Plan
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the Tandy Brands Accessories, Inc. Employees Investment Plan (the “Plan”) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of Form 5500, Schedule H, Line 4i — Schedule of Assets (Held at End of Year) is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

EMPLOYEES INVESTMENT PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Qualified Retirement Plan
The Tandy Brands Accessories, Inc. Employees Investment Plan (the “Plan”) is a defined contribution plan with a qualified cash or deferred arrangement (“401(k)”). Tandy Brands Accessories, Inc. (the “Company”) is the plan administrator and named fiduciary of the Plan (“Plan Administrator”).
The Plan was initially adopted effective January 1, 1991 and has been subsequently amended by the Company from time to time. The Company most recently amended and restated the Plan on December 7, 2009, to be effective as of January 1, 2010, by adopting a prototype plan sponsored by Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith. Coincident with this most recent restatement, the investment options into which participants may direct the investment of their account balances under the Plan were changed. The prior investments were liquidated as of December 31, 2009 and the cash proceeds were transferred to the new investment options offered under the Plan.
The Plan is subject to Titles I and II of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, (“ERISA”) relating to the protection of employee benefit rights, but is not subject to Title IV relating to plan termination insurance. The Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).
The following descriptions of the Plan provide only general information about the Plan. Participants should refer to the Plan documents, including the Summary Plan Description, for a complete description of the Plan’s provisions.
Plan Description — 2010
Information about the Plan and the benefit provisions is contained in the Summary Plan Description, a copy of which may be obtained from the Plan Administrator.
The more significant Plan provisions that changed as a result of the amendment and restatement effective in 2010 and adoption of the prototype plan include:
 
The Plan does not provide for automatic enrollment of eligible employees who fail to make an election to defer a portion of their eligible annual compensation under the Plan.
 
Participants may elect to defer up to 35% of eligible annual compensation as elective pretax and Roth contributions to the Plan, subject to the deferral limitation in Section 402(g) of the Code, but without regard to permissible catch-up contributions permitted under Section 414(v) of the Code.
 
Participants employed by the Company subsequent to 2009 become eligible for Company matching contributions as of the first day of the month following the applicable 12 consecutive month period during which they complete 1,000 hours of service with the Company.
 
For each participant who elects to make elective deferrals under the Plan during the Plan year, the Company makes safe-harbor contributions to the Plan equal to 100% of the first 3% of the participant’s eligible annual compensation contributed for the Plan year plus 50% of the next 2% of the participant’s eligible annual compensation contributed for the Plan year, for a maximum safe harbor matching contribution equal to 4% of the participant’s eligible annual compensation.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Plan Description — 2010 (continued)
 
Participants’ and Company safe-harbor contributions to the Plan are always 100% vested; the three-year vesting schedule for Company matching contributions made with respect to Plan years commencing prior to January 1, 2010 is unchanged.
Plan Description — 2009
Contributions
All employees of the Company who completed one month of service may contribute from 1% to 25% of their eligible annual compensation for the Plan year. Eligible annual compensation is the participant’s total remuneration reported on the federal income tax withholding statement, plus amounts not includable in gross income pursuant to Sections 125, 132(f)(4), 457, and 402(g)(3) of the Code, but excluding any amounts realized from the exercise of a non-qualified stock option or from the disqualifying disposition of qualified stock options. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount of eligible annual compensation that is taken into account under the Plan is subject to the maximum earnings limitation as adjusted by the United States Secretary of the Treasury under Section 401(a)(17) of the Code. Contributions by a highly-compensated employee may be limited or refunded if the Plan does not meet certain of the Code’s discrimination tests. Highly-compensated employees age 50 or older may make catch-up contributions exceeding the maximum annual elective deferral limitation in Section 402(g) of the Code up to the amount permitted under Section 414(v) of the Code.
Employees not opting out of participation in the Plan are automatically enrolled in the Plan and treated as if they had elected to contribute 1% of their eligible annual compensation to the Plan. Qualified cash distributions from other plans may be rolled over into the Plan without regard to an employee’s eligibility to participate in the Plan.
The Company makes a matching contribution for each participant equal to 100% of the participant’s pre-tax elective contributions to the Plan up to a maximum of 5% of the participant’s eligible annual compensation. The Company’s board of directors may amend the Plan to change the matching percentage at any time.
Generally, contributions to the Plan, excluding Roth contributions, and earnings thereon are not subject to federal income tax until distributed from the Plan to the participant.
Participant Accounts
Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contributions, the Company’s matching contributions, and the earnings thereon. Participants may allocate contributions and their account balances among those investments designated by the Plan Administrator. The participants’ accounts are valued on a daily basis.
The participant, or his or her designated beneficiary, is entitled to the vested portion of the participant’s account following his or her termination of employment. Nonetheless, a participant who has attained age 591/2 may withdraw all or any part of his or her vested account balance at any time while employed. Participants who have previously made rollover contributions or after-tax contributions

Plan Description — 2009 (continued)
Participant Accounts (continued)
to the Plan may withdraw amounts attributable to such contributions at any time. Any employee who was a participant in the Plan prior to January 1, 2010 may withdraw the balance of his or her vested account as of December 31, 2009 (other than any portion credited to his or her elective deferral contribution account) upon becoming disabled (as defined under the Plan). In addition, any employee who was a participant in the Plan prior to January 1, 2010 may withdraw the balance of his or her pre-1986 contribution account as of December 31, 2009. Upon termination of employment for any reason, those with vested account balances greater than $1,000 may elect (a) lump sum payments in cash or, where applicable, Company stock, or a combination thereof, or (b) payment in monthly installments over a designated period not to exceed the participant’s life expectancy or joint life expectancy of the participant and the designated beneficiary, subject to specified minimum distribution requirements. Vested account balances of $1,000 or less are distributed in a lump sum. Payments may be rolled over directly to another eligible retirement plan.
A participant may borrow from his or her account, provided that such loan must be for a minimum amount of $1,000 and may not exceed an amount equal to the lesser of (a) the greater of 50% of his or her vested account balance or $10,000 and (b) $50,000 reduced by the amount by which the participant’s highest loan balance from the Plan in the preceding one-year period exceeded the participant’s outstanding loan balance at the time of the new loan.
Hardship withdrawals of specified amounts may be made in the event of a participant’s immediate and heavy financial need for which funds are not reasonably available from other resources as specified in the Plan and determined by the Plan Administrator.
Under specified conditions, an alternate payee may receive a distribution from a participant’s account in compliance with a qualified domestic relations order.
Vesting
Participants are immediately vested in their elective contributions as well as safe harbor Company matching contributions and the earnings thereon. Company matching contributions made to the Plan prior to January 1, 2010 are subject to a vesting schedule based on years of completed service: one but less than two years — 33%; two but less than three years — 67%; three years or more — 100%. However, upon attaining age 65, or in the event of the participant’s disability (as defined in the Plan) or death, a participant becomes 100% vested in the Company’s matching contributions and the earnings thereon.
Forfeitures
Forfeited balances of terminated participants’ nonvested accounts are used in the following order: (1) to reduce Company matching contributions, (2) to offset the Plan’s administrative costs and (3) allocated to the participants’ accounts as a nonelective (profit sharing) contribution.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting
The accompanying financial statements of the Plan are presented on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Investment Committee to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures, including events through the financial statements issuance date. Accordingly, actual results may differ from these estimates.
Investments
In September 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-12, Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent) (“ASU 2009-12”). ASU 2009-12 amended ASC 820 to allow entities to use net asset value (NAV) per share (or its equivalent), as a practical expedient, to measure fair value when the investment does not have a readily determinable fair value and the net asset value is calculated in a manner consistent with investment company accounting. The Plan adopted the guidance in ASU 2009-12 for the reporting period ended December 31, 2009 and has utilized the practical expedient to measure the fair value of investments within the scope of this guidance based on the investment’s NAV. In addition, as a result of adopting ASU 2009-12, the Plan has provided additional disclosures regarding the nature and risks of investments within the scope of this guidance. Adoption of ASU 2009-12 did not have a material effect on the Plan’s net assets available for benefits or its changes in net assets available for benefits.
In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements, (“ASU 2010-06”). ASU 2010-06 amended ASC 820 to clarify certain existing fair value disclosures and require a number of additional disclosures. The guidance in ASU 2010-06 clarified that disclosures should be presented separately for each “class” of assets and liabilities measured at fair value and provided guidance on how to determine the appropriate classes of assets and liabilities to be presented. ASU 2010-06 also clarified the requirement for entities to disclose information about both the valuation techniques and inputs used in estimating Level 2 and Level 3 fair value measurements. In addition, ASU 2010-06 introduced new requirements to disclose the amounts (on a gross basis) and reasons for any significant transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 of the fair value hierarchy and present information regarding the purchases, sales, issuances and settlements of Level 3 assets and liabilities on a gross basis. With the exception of the requirement to present changes in Level 3 measurements on a gross basis, which is delayed until 2011, the guidance in ASU 2010-06 becomes effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009. Adoption of ASU 2010-06 did not have a material effect on the Plan's net assets available for benefits or its changes in net assets available for benefits.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Investments (continued)
The valuation methodologies for determining the fair values of the Plan’s investments at December 31, 2010 and 2009 are:
 
Level 1 investments:
   
Registered investment companies — The net asset value of the investment shares calculated in a manner consistent with investment company accounting.
   
Common stock — The closing price reported on the active market on which it is traded.
 
Level 2 investment — Inputs that are derived principally from observable market data by correlation or other means.
These methods may produce a fair value that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values and use of different methodologies or assumptions could result in different fair value measurements. The Plan’s investments are subject to market or credit risks customarily associated with debt and equity investments.

Participant Loans
Loans, stated at amortized cost, are secured by the participant’s account balance, bear interest (2010 — 3.25% to 5%; 2009 — 4.25% to 9.25%), and require repayment within five years (10 years for loans to purchase the participant’s principal residence). In accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-25 (“ASU 2010-25”), Reporting Loans to Participants by Defined Contribution Pension Plans — a Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force, issued in September 2010, participant loans have been reclassified in the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits from investments to receivables.
Contributions
Participant and Company contributions are accrued in the period in which they are deducted from participants’ pay. Rollover contributions are recorded when received. Approximately $29,300 of forfeited Company matching contributions was available at December 31, 2010 to reduce future Company contributions.
Benefit Payments
Disbursements for benefits are recorded when paid.
Benefits Payable
At December 31, 2010 and 2009 there were no amounts due to participants who had elected to withdraw from the Plan and requested payment of benefits, but which had not yet been paid.

Plan Management
Administration
The Plan is administered by the Company’s Investment Committee. A third-party trustee holds and manages the Plan’s assets. Administrative expenses are paid by the Company.
Amendment or Termination
The Company may amend or terminate the Plan at any time, but no such action shall cause the Plan’s assets to be used for, or diverted to, any purpose other than the exclusive benefit of participants, nor shall any amendment have the effect of reducing a participant’s accrued benefit without the permission of the United States Secretary of Labor. Participants become 100% vested in Company contributions and earnings thereon upon termination of the Plan or discontinuance, other than a temporary suspension, of Company matching contributions.
Tax Status
The Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) has determined and informed the sponsor of the prototype plan by an opinion letter dated March 31, 2008 and the Company by letter dated January 31, 2011 that the prototype plan and related trust are designed in accordance with applicable sections of the Code. The Investment Committee believes the Plan is currently designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code. Therefore, the Investment Committee believes the Plan was qualified and the related trust was tax-exempt as of December 31, 2010.
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require plan management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the Plan has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the IRS. The Plan Administrator has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Plan and has concluded that as of December 31, 2010, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress.
Form 5500 Reconciliation
The following reconciles the financial statement net decrease in net assets available for benefits to the IRS Schedule H (Form 5500) net income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2009. There were no reconciling items as of and for the year ended December 31, 2010.
