REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Administrative Committee and Participants of the
Tandy Brands Accessories, Inc. Benefit Restoration Plan
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the Tandy Brands Accessories, Inc. Benefit Restoration Plan as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2006. 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 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, and 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 Tandy Brands Accessories, Inc. Benefit Restoration Plan as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2006, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Plan Description
General
The following description of the Tandy Brands Accessories, Inc. Benefit Restoration Plan (the “Plan”) sponsored by Tandy Brands Accessories, Inc. (the “Company”) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions. The Plan was initially effective July 1, 1993 and amended effective March 8, 1996, June 12, 1997, July 1, 2001, and July 1, 2003.
The Plan is a deferred compensation plan designed to restore retirement benefits not provided by the Company’s Employees Investment Plan (the “EIP”) because of contribution limitations imposed by Sections 401(a)(17) and 402(g)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). All Plan benefits are unsecured obligations of the Company. The Plan is not subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, (“ERISA”) and is not qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code.
Eligibility
Eligible employees are those members of a select group in key positions of management and responsibility, as determined by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who elect to contribute to the EIP for the Plan year the lesser of (a) the maximum elective deferral permitted under Section 402(g)(1) of the Code, or (b) the maximum salary reduction contributions permitted under the terms of the EIP. Elections to contribute to the Plan must be made no later than the last day of the December preceding the Plan year for which the employee elects to contribute.
Contributions
A participant may contribute from 1% to 10% of their annual compensation for the Plan year, reduced by the participant’s total contributions to the EIP for the year. Annual compensation is the participant’s total remuneration reported on the federal income tax withholding statement, excluding Company contributions to the Stock Purchase Program and amounts realized from the Company’s stock options, plus amounts not includable in gross income pursuant to Sections 125 and 402(e)(3) of the Code.
The Company contributes for each participant employed at quarter-end 150% of the participant’s quarterly contributions to the Plan. The Company’s matching contributions are required to be invested in the Company’s common stock or as otherwise determined by the Company.

Plan Description (continued)
Participant Accounts
Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contributions as of the date on which they otherwise would have been paid to the participant. The Company’s contribution is made within 30 days after the end of each quarter.
Participants may elect once every six months, on January 1 or July 1, unless otherwise determined by the Plan committee, to allocate their contributions in 5% increments to investments in the:
Munder Tax-Free Money Market Fund — Class K
Munder Tax-Free Short & Intermediate Bond Fund — Class K
Tandy Brands Accessories, Inc. common stock
Participants’ unallocated funds are invested in the Munder Institutional Cash Investment Fund — Class K.
Benefit Payments
Cash benefit payments, commencing no earlier than the day preceding the sixth anniversary of the participant’s distribution election, are made either in a lump sum or monthly installments over a period not exceeding ten years. At the time of making a contribution election, the participant elects the commencement date and manner in which distributions will be paid. Such elections may be modified if the change is made at least one year prior to the originally elected distribution date and at least two years prior to any new distribution date.
If employment termination precedes the participant’s elected distribution date, the participant’s account is distributed. A participant’s election governs the payment, either lump sum or monthly installments over a period not exceeding ten years, to beneficiaries commencing as soon as practicable following receipt of notice of the participant’s death.
Hardship withdrawals of specified amounts may be made under specified conditions. The lesser of a participant’s account balance or the amount of taxable income with respect to which tax liability is assessed prior to the participant’s elected distribution date will be distributed if the Plan committee determines federal or state taxable income will be recognized as the result of changes in federal or state laws, regulations, or rulings, or as the result of a court ruling involving the participant.
Vesting
Participants are immediately vested in all contributions to their accounts as unsecured general creditors of the Company. Voting rights with respect to Plan assets are retained by the Company.
Plan Amendment or Termination
The Company may amend or terminate the Plan at any time, but no such action shall have the effect of retroactively changing or depriving participants or beneficiaries of rights already accrued under the Plan.
