TANDY BRANDS ACCESSORIES REPORTS
THIRD QUARTER 2005 RESULTS

-Announces Eighth Consecutive Quarterly Dividend-

ARLINGTON, TX, April 22, 2005 – Tandy Brands Accessories, Inc. (Nasdaq NM:TBAC) today announced financial results for the third quarter ended March 31, 2005.

For the third quarter of fiscal 2005, net sales increased 3.2% to $43.9 million compared to $42.6 million for the same period last year. The company reported a net loss for the third quarter of $997,000 or $0.16 per diluted share compared to net income of $132,000 or $0.02 per share in the prior year’s third quarter. These results are in line with the financial results previously announced on April 15^th.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2005, net sales were $178.4 million compared to $171.0 million for the same period in the prior year. Net income for the nine-month period totaled $6.1 million, or $0.93 per diluted share, compared to net income of $6.9 million, or $1.08 per diluted share, for the same period last year.

J. S. B. Jenkins, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “As we previously announced on April 15^th, we did not meet our plan for the third quarter of fiscal 2005. The net loss we experienced in the third quarter was a result of softer than expected sales during March, particularly in our women’s mass merchant accessory business. Our results were also impacted by increased selling, general and administrative expenses and higher than anticipated return experience related to the ETON gift accessory business. While the gift accessory business did not meet our expectations due to returns in the third quarter, demand by the retail community remains strong. The number of gift programs recently established among key department stores and mass merchandise customers for Father’s Day and the holiday season is already better than we anticipated.”

Mr. Jenkins continued, “In order to improve the performance in our women’s segment, the company will be restructuring and consolidating its sales, merchandising, and administrative efforts related to the women’s mass merchant and department store business units. These activities are expected to result in one-time, non-operational charges related to severance of approximately $0.02 per share that will impact reported results for the fourth quarter.”

The company anticipates fourth quarter net sales to be in the range of $41 million to $44 million and a net loss to be in the range of $0.12 to $0.17 per diluted share. The net loss for the fourth quarter excludes any potential non-cash charge related to goodwill impairment in connection with the company’s women’s mass merchant accessory business unit that may result as part of the company’s annual goodwill assessment. For the 2005 fiscal year, the company anticipates net sales to be in the range of $219 to $223 million and earnings to be within a range of $0.75 to $0.80 per diluted share.

The company also announced today that the Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend of $0.0275 per common share that will be payable July 20, 2005, to shareholders of record at the close of business on June 30, 2005.

Mr. Jenkins concluded, “We believe very strongly in the market opportunities for our core business segments. Our men’s business continues to perform beyond expectations and we continue to gain ground with many of our new initiatives. These efforts have enhanced our product offering and have allowed us to increase our penetration in the department store and mass merchant channels. The opportunities associated with our gift business are excellent and our financial performance remains above plan. We are taking the appropriate steps to improve the performance in our women’s business and believe that our planned initiatives will better position the company for the future. We are proud to be paying our eighth consecutive quarterly dividend and remain committed to building value for our shareholders.”
