Item 8.01 Other Events.

On July 26, 2019, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Tandy Leather Factory, Inc. (the "Company") commenced an independent investigation of issues that include, but may not be limited to, certain aspects of the Company's methods of valuation and expensing of costs of inventory and related issues regarding the Company's business and operations. The Audit Committee has retained independent legal and accounting advisers to conduct the investigation. The investigation is ongoing. In addition, the Audit Committee directed the Company to evaluate its current policies, procedures, and internal controls associated with such methods of valuation, as well as compliance with, and the effectiveness of, those policies, procedures and internal controls (the "Accounting Policy and Controls Review"). A forensic accounting consultant will assist the Company with this review.

Because the independent investigation and Accounting Policy and Controls Review referred to above include matters related to accounting for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and previous periods, the Company currently does not anticipate that it will be able to file timely its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, which has a due date of August 14, 2019.

Following the completion of the independent investigation and the Accounting Policy and Controls Review, the timing of which cannot be estimated, the Company will make a determination regarding whether it will need to revise, correct or restate its financial statements for any previous quarter or fiscal year as well as the timing of filing its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.

Please refer to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 for additional information concerning these and other uncertainties that could negatively impact the Company.
