        <footnote id="F1">The phantom stock units convert to shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">The phantom stock units accrued under the Tandy Brands Accessories, Inc. 1995 Stock Deferral Plan for Non-Employee Directors because of a cash dividend payable to all stockholders of record at the close of business on March 31, 2008. Pursuant to the Tandy Brands Accessories, Inc. 1995 Stock Deferral Plan for Non-Employee Directors, phantom stock units are credited, based on the amount of the cash dividend and the closing price of the Issuer's common stock on the record date, to the reporting person's bookkeeping reserve account, which account is maintained by the Issuer.  The phantom stock units are to be settled 12 months following the reporting person ceasing to be a member of the board of directors.</footnote>
