This market is composed of industrial arts and crafts programs in schools, hospitals, prisons and recreational organizations. Semi-professionals and hobbyists make up an additional portion of Tandy Leather Company's market. Tandy Leather Company has been successful in developing a loyal repeat customer base. An important element in this achievement has been the effective use of customer purchasing information in focusing Tandy Leather Company's advertising and direct mail efforts. Tandy Leather Company also sponsors in-store classes, workshops and offers demonstrations in leathercrafting techniques such as carving, stamping, dyeing and jewelry making, which helps to cultivate new and repeat customers. Store managers and employees also go out into the community to give on-site demonstrations before school groups and other organizations. In fiscal 1996, Tandy Leather Company's retail operations contributed approximately 17% of the consolidated net sales of the Company.
Cargo Furniture and Accents ("Cargo") sells a proprietary line of solid wood furniture, bedding and complimentary accessories to residential, institutional and commercial customers from 39 company-owned and operated specialty retail stores primarily located in regional shopping malls in 12 states across the country.

From facilities in Pocahontas and Piggott, Arkansas, Magee produces over 29 million frames annually. Magee is widely recognized for manufacturing low-cost frames out of oak, pine and poplar. During fiscal 1995, Magee expanded its production capacity for metal frames and developed a new line of extruded plastic frames. Impulse Designs, located in Van Nuys, California, was a strategic acquisition made by the Company in November 1993. Impulse is a manufacturer of framed art for the mass market. Impulse has achieved a national following by introducing the works of well-known artists at popular price points. Magee and Impulse's products are sold in the United States and Canada by national account sales representatives, selling primarily to mass-merchandise retail chains, drug and food retail chains, department stores, general houseware merchants and specialty frame outlets.

The TWI division includes Tandy Leather Manufacturing and the Licensed Products Group. Tandy Leather Manufacturing produces many of the kits, tools and supplies which are sold through those stores nationwide and wholesales similar products to other leading craft stores throughout the United States and Canada. As a significant purchaser of leather, Tandy Leather is able to command favorable pricing and terms from its suppliers which enhance this division's overall profitability. In conjunction with the restructuring and consolidation program adopted in December 1995, Nocona Belt Company was consolidated with Tandy Leather Manufacturing. Nocona Belt Company, located in Nocona, Texas, manufactures a wide selection of western-style belts and leather accessories such as wallets, money clips, hatbands, jewelry and leather care goods. Nocona Belt Company markets its products nationally and internationally through independent representatives who are responsible for maintaining Nocona Belt Company's existing account base, as well as generating new business.

Strategic Restructuring and Consolidation Program - -------------------------------------------------
In the quarter ended December 31, 1995, the Company adopted a strategic restructuring and consolidation program. The primary components of this program included: (i) the sale of Cargo Furniture and Accents, (ii) the sale or closure of Prestige Leather Creations, David James Manufacturing, Brand Name Apparel and certain other individually insignificant operations, (iii) the closure of 11 retail stores including two at Sav-On Office Supplies, five at Joshua's Christian Stores and four at Tandy Leather Company, (iv) the consolidation of certain functions within TWI of Nocona Belt Company.
As of June 30, 1996, the restructuring and consolidation program was substantially completed and management expects the action contemplated by the plan to be fully completed during fiscal 1997. Since December 31, 1995, the Company has sold Prestige Leather Creations and Brand Name Apparel and has closed David James Manufacturing and certain other individually insignificant operations. In addition, Nocona Belt Company has been successfully consolidated into TWI. On the retail side, the Company has closed two Sav-On stores, two Tandy Leather stores and one Joshua's store. The Company expects to complete the sale of Cargo during the first half of fiscal 1997.
Raw Materials - -------------
Raw materials used in the specialty manufacturing segment are available from numerous sources and the Company believes that the availability of such materials is adequate for its needs.
Intangible Assets - -----------------
The Company owns a number of trademarks and copyrights. Management considers these intangibles to be valuable assets and vigorously defends them when necessary.
Seasonality - -----------
The Company's operating results are subject to seasonal variation. Historically, the Company has realized a larger proportion of its sales and operating income in its second fiscal quarter (the Christmas season). Cash also increases in December due to the Christmas business achieved by the Company's specialty retail segment.
Competitive Conditions - ----------------------
Tandy Leather Company competes with hobby and crafts stores, including department and specialty stores, operated by individuals and various companies in all trade areas. The picture frames and framed art sold by the Magee Company, Impulse Designs and Hermitage Fine Arts are readily available from other suppliers who compete actively for sales. The Cargo Furniture and Accents line of furniture, Joshua's Christian Stores line of inspirational items and Sav-On Office Supplies line of office supplies, compete vigorously for sales with other nationally-known brand names that are marketed by department stores, chain stores and local specialty stores. The belts, accessories and apparel sold by the Nocona Belt Company and Birdlegs are readily available from other suppliers who compete actively for sales. The licensed novelty and promotional products sold by TAG Express and Rivertown Button are readily available from other suppliers who compete actively for sales.
Environmental Affairs - ---------------------
Compliance by the Company with federal, state and local environmental protection laws have not had, and are not expected to have, a material effect upon capital expenditures, earnings or the competitive position of the Company.
Foreign Operations and Export Sales - -----------------------------------
A small amount of products produced by the Company is exported to independent distributors and other customers in foreign nations. The combined export operations contributed less than 10% of consolidated revenue and/or income and utilized less than 10% of the consolidated assets of Tandycrafts, Inc. for each of the last three fiscal years.

Tandycrafts, Inc. ("Tandycrafts" or the "Company") operates in two primary industry segments, specialty retail and specialty manufacturing. The specialty retail segment consists of four distinct retail concepts: Tandy Leather Company, which sells leathercraft and related products through 173 stores located in 45 states; Joshua's Christian Stores, which sells inspirational books, music and gifts through a chain of 74 stores in twelve states; Sav-On Office Supplies, which sells office supplies and related products through a chain of 36 stores located in eleven states; and Cargo Furniture and Accents, which sells a proprietary line of solid wood furniture and accessories through a chain of 39 stores located primarily in regional shopping malls. The specialty manufacturing segment is comprised of two divisions: Picture Frames and Framed Art and Tandy Wholesale International ("TWI") division.
With the exception of historical information, the matters discussed herein are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ from such projections. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the performance of each operating unit, relationships with certain key customers, commodity price fluctuations, product demand, inventory fluctuations due to shifts in market demand and preferences, the regulatory and trade environment, interest rate fluctuations, recessionary factors, seasonality and other factors or risks indicated in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following table presents selected financial data for each significant company or division comprising the Company's two primary industry segments for the years ended June 30, 1996 and 1995:
Fiscal Years Ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 (Dollars in Thousands)
[S][C]
Fiscal Years Ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 (Dollars in Thousands)
[S][C]
FISCAL YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 AND 1995
For fiscal 1996, consolidated net sales decreased $2,239,000, or 0.9%, compared to fiscal 1995. Total operating income before corporate expenses decreased $24,251,000 or 146.9% from fiscal 1995. The operating loss is primarily due to the restructuring and other charges to operations recognized during the quarter ended December 31, 1995. Discussions relative to each of the Company's industry segments are set forth below.
SPECIALTY RETAIL Net sales for the specialty retail segment increased $4,862,000, or 4.1%, while operating income decreased by $3,211,000 or 91.2% compared to fiscal 1995. The decrease in operating income includes a restructuring charge of $835,000 for the closure of certain underperforming stores. The specialty retail segment contributed 48.2% of consolidated net sales in fiscal 1996 compared to 45.9% in the prior year.
Tandy Leather Company Tandy Leather Company's net retail sales decreased $4,476,000, or 9.4%, primarily attributable to same-store sales decreases of 9.3% from fiscal 1995. Tandy Leather continued to experience a decline in sales of certain merchandise categories, particularly Southwest fashion merchandise, as changes in consumer tastes and trends combined with greater competition in this product category from other craft stores negatively impacted sales.
Operating income for Tandy Leather decreased $2,362,000, or 59.5%, when compared to the prior year. This decrease in operating income is primarily a result of the decrease in sales, particularly sales of Southwest fashion merchandise with a corresponding higher gross profit. Gross profit as a percentage of sales for this unit decreased slightly, while selling, general and administrative expenses decreased in dollars but increased as a percentage of sales in fiscal 1996 compared to 1995 due to a greater decrease in sales relative to the decrease in support and administrative expenses.
Sav-On Office Supplies Sav-On achieved a $9,275,000, or 44.9%, increase in net sales over fiscal 1995 due to same-store sales increases of 12.8% and to the inclusion of a full year of sales in fiscal 1996 for 18 stores which were opened during 1995. The same-store sales increases are attributable to the continuing maturation of the nine stores opened in fiscal 1994. Two underperforming stores were closed during the fourth quarter of 1996, bringing the chain total to 36 stores at year end.
Sav-On had operating income of $1,123,000 for fiscal 1996 compared to a loss of $1,735,000 in fiscal 1995. The increase in operating income is primarily a result of increased sales and efficiency gains at both stores and administrative units. Gross profits as a percentage of sales increased slightly due to more effective merchandising and inventory management. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales decreased significantly due to larger increases in sales relative to expenses.
Joshua's Christian Stores Joshua's Christian Stores achieved a $1,230,000, or 4.2%, increase in net sales over fiscal 1995. The increase in total net sales is due to the increase in the number of stores and the maturation of stores less than 24 months old. Joshua's had 72 stores open at June 30, 1995 and 74 stores open at June 30, 1996. The increase in sales is offset by a decline in same-store sales of 4.6% which is attributable to increased competition and an unfavorable merchandise assortment at the stores. The merchandise assortment has been re-evaluated by Joshua's new management team and management expects the recent trend of same- store sales losses and declining gross margins to begin improving during fiscal 1997. Actual results, however, may differ from this forward-looking statement. Please see the discussion of risk factors which could impact this projection herein.
Joshua's experienced an operating loss of $1,759,000 for fiscal 1996 compared to operating income of $525,000 for fiscal 1995. Gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased primarily due to inventory write-downs and as a result of the unfavorable merchandise assortment discussed above. Selling, general and administrative costs increased with the opening of three new stores in fiscal 1996, but decreased 1.8 points as a percentage of sales.
Cargo Furniture & Accents Net sales for Cargo decreased $1,167,000, or 5.9%, compared to fiscal 1995. This decrease is attributable to the closure of one store during fiscal 1996 and same-store sales decreases of 1.8% compared to the prior year. The decrease in same-store sales was partially offset by increased sales in the contract division of Cargo.
Operating income for Cargo decreased $588,000 or 77.3% for fiscal 1996 compared to fiscal 1995. This decrease is attributable to the lower sales levels combined with a decrease in gross margin as sales promotions and contract sales, with lower margins, comprised a larger percentage of total sales during fiscal 1996.
Cargo was targeted by Tandycrafts' Board of Directors to be divested as part of the restructuring program adopted in December 1995. As such, Tandycrafts is currently pursuing the sale of this unit.
SPECIALTY MANUFACTURING Net sales for the specialty manufacturing segment decreased $7,101,000, or 5.1%, while operating income decreased $21,040,000 or 162.0% as compared to fiscal 1995. The decrease in operating income includes a restructuring charge of $17,442,000 related to the closure or divestiture of certain underperforming business units. The decrease in sales also reflects the closure or divestiture of certain underperforming units during fiscal 1996. The specialty manufacturing segment contributed 51.8% of consolidated net sales in fiscal 1996 compared to 54.1% in the prior year.
Picture Frames and Framed Art The decrease in net sales for the Picture Frames and Framed Art division was $703,000, or 0.9%, compared to fiscal 1995. This decrease is attributable to the cancellation of certain large framed art orders by a key customer during fiscal 1996. These canceled orders were the result of inventory overbuying experienced by that customer which management expects to be alleviated in fiscal 1997. The decrease in sales is partially offset by the increase in sales of picture frames and mirrors, the introduction of new products and the addition of new customers.
Operating income for the Picture Frames and Framed Art division decreased $2,655,000 or 22.8%. This decrease is primarily attributable to the cancellation of certain large framed art orders discussed above.
Tandy Wholesale International ("TWI") Net sales for the TWI division, increased $5,058,000, or 15.6%, compared to fiscal 1995. This increase reflects the increased sales of the licensed products group resulting primarily from the addition of new customers, penetration into new markets and the introduction of new product lines. Also affecting these sales, though to a lesser extent, were sales of Atlanta `96 Olympic merchandise. The increased sales of the licensed products group were partially offset by decreased sales at Tandy Leather Manufacturing. This decrease is primarily due to a change in the licensing practices of a key customer.
The operating income of the TWI division decreased $937,000 or 26.8%. This decrease primarily reflects the decline in sales at Tandy Leather Manufacturing and also includes $170,000 of expenses associated with the relocation of Rivertown Button from Houston, Minnesota to Fort Worth, Texas. The decrease in operating income at Tandy Leather Manufacturing was partially offset by increased profitability in the licensed products group.
Strategic restructuring and consolidation program In the quarter ended December 31, 1995, the Company adopted a strategic restructuring and consolidation program. The primary components of this program included: (i) the sale of Cargo Furniture and Accents, (ii) the sale or closure of Prestige Leather Creations, David James Manufacturing, Brand Name Apparel and certain other individually insignificant operations, (iii) the closure of 11 retail stores including two at Sav-On Office Supplies, five at Joshua's Christian Stores and four at Tandy Leather Company, (iv) the consolidation of certain functions within TWI of Nocona Belt Company and Rivertown Button Company, (v) the consolidation, streamlining and, in some cases, outsourcing of certain functions throughout various operating units, and (vi) the retention of an outside consulting firm to assist senior management in evaluating and developing the Company's retail concepts.
The adoption of this program was a direct result of a strategic review initiated in August 1995 during which the Company's various business units were examined, including the role and strategy of each in generating sales and profits, as well as each business unit's market position and growth potential. The intent of this program was to improve the Company's competitive position by focusing the Company's resources in those areas which offer the greatest potential for growth and increased value for shareholders. Upon completion of this plan, the Company will be comprised of three specialty retail operations; Tandy Leather Company, Joshua's Christian Stores and Sav-On Office Supplies, and two manufacturing divisions; TWI and Picture Frames and Framed Art.
Restructuring charges As a result of the adoption of the strategic restructuring and consolidation program discussed above, the Company recorded restructuring charges of $18.8 million in the quarter ended December 31, 1995. In the quarter ended March 31, 1996, the Company reversed $501,000 of the initial reserve related to the sale of Prestige Leather Creations. In the quarter ended June 30, 1996, $564,000 of the reserve initially recorded for lease obligations was reclassified to the reserve for asset writedowns as a result of the assignment of leases to the purchasers. The increase in the asset writedown reserve was necessary to cover asset writedowns in excess of those originally anticipated by management.
The net restructuring charges include approximately $17.5 million for asset writedowns and anticipated exit costs associated with specialty manufacturing businesses targeted for sale or closure to be sold or closed and $0.8 million for asset writedowns and anticipated exit costs associated with the closure of certain retail stores. Approximately $16.2 million of the restructuring charges relate to non-cash writedowns of assets to their estimated realizable values, including $7.5 million related to the write off of goodwill, $6.1 million related to the liquidation of inventories, $1.2 million related to the writedown of fixed assets, and $1.4 million related to the writedown of various other assets. The remaining $2.1 million of the restructuring charges represents anticipated cash outlays. Approximately $1.6 million relates to lease obligations and the remainder relates to other contractual obligations and exit costs. No severance costs have been included in the restructuring charges. The following table sets forth the restructuring charges by segment (in thousands):
Specialty Specialty Manufacturing Retail Corporate Total ------------- --------- --------- ---------
Asset writedowns $ 15,861 $ 318 $ - $ 16,179 Lease and other exit costs 1,581 517 40 2,138 -------- ------ ---- -------- Restructuring charge for the year ended June 30, 1996 $ 17,442 $ 835 $ 40 $ 18,317 ======== ====== ==== ========
The following table sets forth the accrual activity in the restructuring reserve, which is included in current accrued liabilities in the June 30, 1996 balance sheet (in thousands):
Specialty Specialty Manufacturing Retail Corporate Total ------------- --------- --------- ---------
Balance at June 30, 1995 $ - $ - $ - $ - Restructuring charges 17,943 835 40 18,818 Cash payments (397) (78) (40) (515) Non-cash asset writedowns (15,861) (318) - (16,179) Non-cash adjustment to restructuring charges (501) - - (501) -------- ------ ---- -------- Balance at June 30, 1996 $ 1,184 $ 439 $ - $ 1,623 ======== ====== ==== ========
As of June 30, 1996, the restructuring and consolidation program is substantially complete and management expects it to be fully completed during fiscal 1997. Since December 31, 1995, the Company has sold Prestige Leather Creations and Brand Name Apparel and has closed David James Manufacturing and certain other individually insignificant operations. On the retail side, the Company has closed two Sav-On stores, two Tandy Leather stores and one Joshua's store. The Company expects to complete the sale of Cargo during the first half of fiscal 1997.
Total proceeds from the sale of Prestige Leather approximated $1.5 million, with approximately $900,000 being paid in cash and $607,000 in notes receivable which bearbearing interest at 8.5% to 9.5% and maturematuring at various dates through March 26, 2000. Total proceeds from the sale of Brand Name Apparel were approximately $1,038,000 in cash.
The above provisions are estimates based on the Company's judgment at this time. Adjustments to the restructuring provisions may be necessary in the future based on further development of restructuring related activitiescosts; however, management believes the $1.6 million accrualbalance at June 30, 1996 is adequate to cover the remaining liability of the restructuring program adopted in December 1995. AltThough no additional restructuring plans are currently under consideration, the Company continues to evaluate possible actions which are aimed at improving the profitability and competitive position of the Company.
Revenues and operating losses (before restructuring charges) from separately identifiable businesses targeted for sale or closure are set forth below by segment (in thousands):
Year Ended June 30, -------------------------------------------- 1996 1995 -------------------- --------------------- Operating Operating Income Income Sales (loss) Sales (loss) -------- --------- -------- --------

Selling, general and administrative expenses Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales were 32.0% for fiscal 1996 compared to 32.6% for fiscal 1995. In total dollars, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $2,117,000, or 2.5%, for fiscal 1996 when compared to the previous year. The decrease in expenses was primarily due to the reduction in expenses related to those companies divested or closed during fiscal 1996 and to a change in the provisions of the Company's Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") which reduced the Company's contributions in fiscal 1996 by approximately $1.6 million. Effective July 1, 1995, the ESOP was amended to allow forfeited shares to be used to reduce future Company contributions to the ESOP. Previously, such forfeited shares were reallocated to the remaining active plan participants.
Interest expense Interest expense increased $223,000, or 5.7%, for fiscal 1996 when compared to the prior year. The increase in interest expense was due primarily to higher average borrowings during the current year interest rates compared to the prior year.
Depreciation and amortization Consolidated depreciation and amortization increased $491,000, or 9.0%, for fiscal 1996 when compared to the previous year. The increase is due primarily to depreciation on the capital expenditures made during fiscal 1996.
Provision for income taxes The Company realized a tax benefit of $5,174,000 in fiscal 1996 compared to tax expense of $2,810,000 in 1995. The tax benefit in fiscal 1996 reflects current year losses which can be carried back to recover taxes paid in prior periods. The effective income tax rate for fiscal 1996 was 32.6% compared to 35.0% for the prior year. The decrease in theThis effective income tax rate decrease is a result of the acceleration of permanent tax differences attributable to certain sales or closures included in the restructuring charges previously discussed.
FISCAL YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 AND 1994
For fiscal 1995, consolidated net sales increased $41,654,000, or 19.4%, compared to fiscal 1994. Total operating income before corporate expenses decreased $3,122,000, or 15.9% in fiscal 1995 compared to fiscal 1994. Discussions relative to each of the Company's industry segments are set forth below.
SPECIALTY RETAIL Net sales for the specialty retail segment increased $10,145,000, or 9.4%, while operating income decreased $2,849,000, or 44.7%, compared to fiscal 1994. The specialty retail segment contributed 45.9% of consolidated net sales in fiscal 1995 compared to 50.1% in the prior year. This segment also contributed 21.3% of consolidated operating income before corporate expenses for fiscal 1995 compared to 32.4% in the previous year.
Tandy Leather Company Tandy Leather Company's net retail sales decreased $1,516,000, or 3.1%, from fiscal 1994 with a decrease in same-store sales of 3.4%. The decrease in sales reflected a reduction in the average number of transactions per store compared to the previous year due primarily to a decline in sales of sSouthwest fashion merchandise. The decrease in sales related to this merchandise category was due in part to a decline in popularity, but also due to increased competition.
Operating income for Tandy Leather decreased $832,000, or 17.3%, when compared to the prior year. The decrease in operating income was primarily a result of the decrease in sales, particularly sales of Southwest fashion merchandise with its corresponding higher gross profit. For the year, gross profit decreased $1,264,000 and also as a percent of sales primarily as a result of decreased sales and a change in the sales mix. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased approximately $447,000 for the year when compared to last year; however, expenses as a percent of sales were up slightly due to the decrease in sales.
Sav-On Office Supplies Sav-On achieved a $6,012,000, or 41.1%, increase in net sales over fiscal 1994, primarily as a result of an aggressive store expansion program. During fiscal 1995, Sav-On continued to increase its store base by opening 18 new stores in targeted markets. Same-store sales were flat during the year primarily as a result of management's decision to forego in fiscal 1995 certain low margin government and contract sales at the store level which occurred in the months of July and December of fiscal 1994.
Sav-On experienced an operating loss of $1,735,000 for the year ended June 30, 1995 compared to an operating loss of $390,000 for the previous year. The decrease in operating income was primarily a result of start-up and increased administrative expenses incurred in expanding the store base from 21 stores at June 30, 1994 to 38 stores at June 30, 1995. Gross profit as a percent of sales for the year decreased compared to fiscal 1994 primarily as a result of escalating paper costs which could not be passed on to customers because of significant price competition. Also, administrative expenses increased as a percent of sales reflecting new store openings as well as the investment made to strengthen the management team and to build the necessary infrastructure to support a larger store base.
Joshua's Christian Stores Joshua's achieved a $6,361,000, or 27.4%, increase in net sales over fiscal 1994. The increase in total net sales was primarily due to the effect of new store openings. Joshua's had 72 stores open at June 30, 1995 compared to 61 stores open at June 30, 1994. Same-store sales at Joshua's increased 3.7% for the year and reflected the impact of increased competition in certain markets.
Joshua's Christian Stores had operating income for the year ended June 30, 1995 of $525,000 compared to operating income for the same period last year of $1,060,000. Gross margins for fiscal 1995 were consistent with fiscal 1994 while selling, general and administrative expenses increased as a percent of sales. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was due primarily to increased advertising; increased labor expense resulting from store expansion and additional support personnel; and increases in communication and data processing expenses associated with the installation and implementation of a new merchandising and management information system.
Cargo Furniture & Accents Net sales for Cargo decreased $712,000, or 3.5%, compared to fiscal 1994, primarily as a result of the closure of three stores during fiscal 1995. Same- store sales increased 1.2%. The flat same-store sales were attributable to the sluggish economy, particularly in the fourth quarter, higher interest rates, and reduced new home starts during fiscal 1995.
Operating income for Cargo decreased $137,000 from $898,000 in fiscal 1994, to $761,000 in fiscal 1995. The decrease in operating income was attributable to the sluggish economy, higher interest rates, and fewer home starts. For fiscal 1995, gross profit as a percent of sales remained consistent with the prior year; however, selling, general and administrative expenses were reduced as a result of cost savings stemming from closed stores as well as from internal reorganization.
SPECIALTY MANUFACTURING
Net sales for the specialty manufacturing segment increased $31,509,000, or 29.4%, while operating income decreased $273,000 or 2.1% compared to fiscal 1994. The specialty manufacturing segment contributed 54.1% of consolidated net sales in fiscal 1995 compared to 49.9% in the prior year. This segment also contributed 78.7% of consolidated operating income before corporate expenses for the year ended June 30, 1995 compared to 67.6% for the previous year.
Picture Frames and Framed Art The increase in net sales for the Picture Frames and Framed Art division was $22,281,000, or 37.7%, compared to fiscal 1994. The increase reflected the contribution of Impulse Designs, which was acquired effective November 1, 1993 as well as strong demand from the existing customer base and the addition of new customers.
Operating income for this division increased 55.8% over fiscal 1994 to $11,451,000. The increase reflected the contribution of Impulse Designs which was acquired effective November 1, 1993. The increase in operating income for fiscal 1995 also reflected increased sales and improved gross margins resulting from manufacturing efficiency gains and a more profitable sales mix.
Tandy Wholesale International ("TWI") Net sales for the TWI division increased $6,755,000, or 26.3%, compared to fiscal 1994. The increase in net sales reflected the contributions of Rivertown Button, College Flags and Tag Express, which were acquired effective April 1, 1994, June 1, 1994 and September 1, 1993, respectively. Sales for the year also reflected strong sales gains from the wholesale operations of the Tandy Leather Company and Tag Express, primarily as a result of the addition of new customers, penetration into new markets and the introduction of new product lines.
The TWI division's operating income decreased $1,430,000, or 29.0% for fiscal 1995, compared to the previous year. The decrease in operating income reflected the impact of the professional baseball and hockey players strikes on the sales of related licensed products as well as production difficulties encountered assimilating the recently acquired pennant manufacturing operation.
Selling, general and administrative expenses Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses were 32.6% for fiscal 1995 compared to 32.0% for fiscal 1994. In total dollars, selling, general and administrative expenses increased $14,699,000, or 21.4%, for fiscal 1995 when compared to the previous year. The increase in expenses was primarily due to acquisitions included for a full year compared to a partial period last year and to new store openings.
Interest expense Interest expense increased $2,319,000, or 146.7%, for fiscal 1995 when compared to the prior year. The increase in interest expense was due to an increase in average borrowings during the year compared to the prior year and to increased interest rates.
Depreciation and amortization Consolidated depreciation and amortization increased $1,457,000, or 36.3%, for fiscal 1995 compared to the previous year. The increase was due primarily to depreciation related to property and equipment of businesses acquired as well as amortization of goodwill related to acquisitions. Depreciation expense also increased over the prior year due to a higher level of capital expenditures.
Provision for income taxes The effective income tax rate for fiscal 1995 was 35.0% compared to 36.3% for the prior year. The decrease in the effective tax rate reflected a decrease in the 1995 federal statutory rate because of the decline in income before taxes, and lower state taxes.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's primary sources of liquidity have come from cash flows from operations, sales of treasury stock to employee benefit programs, and borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility. These funds have been used primarily to finance acquisitions, purchase property and equipment, retire the ESOP loan and finance growth in inventories and receivables.
During the year ended June 30, 1996, cash decreased $295,000. Cash provided by operating activities of $8,425,000 resulted primarily from a decrease in working capital. Cash used for investing activities of $4,636,000 resulted primarily from capital expenditures for property and equipment and the payment of additional consideration for the acquisition of Impulse Designs. Cash of approximately $4,084,000 was used by financing activities, primarily to reduce borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility.
The Company has a $60 million revolving credit facility with a group of banks. During July 1995, the Company established an additional $10 million revolving credit facility that terminated on March 31, 1996. As part of the Company's restructuring and consolidation program adopted in December 1995, the bank group agreed to extend the maturity date of the current revolving credit facility to October 1, 1997 under the existing terms and to amend certain provisions, restrictions and covenants under the revolving credit agreement as of December 31, 1995 to allow the actions contemplated by the Company's restructuring plan to occur without placing the Company in default. The Company has agreed with its lending banks to reduce the commitment amount under the revolving loan agreement from $60,000,000 to $50,000,000 by October 31, 1996. The Company currently estimates that cash generated from the sale of assets contemplated by the strategic restructuring program and cash flow from operations will enable it to reduce its borrowings under the revolving credit facility by October 31, 1996 to levels that will enable the Company to operate within the $50,000,000 commitment amount. Actual results may differ from this forward-looking projection. Please refer to the discussion of risk factors herein.
In the quarter ended March 31, 1996, the Company sold certain assets and liabilities of Prestige Leather Creations for consideration of approximately $1.5 million. Such consideration consisted of approximately $900,000 in cash and $607,000 in notes receivable. The notes receivable bear interest at 8.5% to 9.5% and have payment terms which mature at various dates through March 26, 2000. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 1996, the Company sold certain assets and liabilities of Brand Name Apparel, Inc. for consideration of $1,038,000 in cash.
In connection with the November 1993 acquisition of Impulse Designs, the asset purchase agreement provided for a contingent payment to be made based upon the attainment of certain earnings thresholds for the year ended December 31, 1994March 31, 1995. Impulse Designs met certain of these thresholds and, in January 1996, the Company made a final cash payment of approximately $2.5 million to the former owners of Impulse Designs to complete the transaction. This amount is reflected as goodwill in the June 30, 1996 balance sheet. The Company also incurred approximately $457,000 of expenses related to such settlement which were reflected in the results of operations for the quarter ended December 31, 1995.
Cash of approximately $4,363,000 was used for capital expenditures during the year ended June 30, 1996. Planned capital expenditures for fiscal 1997 approximate $5,0500,000 and are targeted primarily for investments in the Picture Frames and Framed Art division. Approximately six additional new store openings at Sav-oOn Office Supplies are anticipated for fiscal 1997. The Company's minimum operating lease commitments for fiscal 1997 are approximately $7.9 million. Management believes that the Company's current cash position, its cash flows from operations and expected proceeds from the sale of assets contemplated by the strategic restructuring program will be sufficient to fund its planned operations, capital expenditures and required debt reduction. Actual results may differ from this forward-looking projection. Please refer to the discussion of risk factors herein.
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of" , which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. In October 1995, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123"), which is effective for transactions entered into in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 1995. SFAS 123 establishes a fair value based method of accounting for stock- based compensation plans. The effect of adopting both of these standards is not expected to be material to the Company's financial position or results of operations.
CONTINGENCIES
A former subsidiary of the Company, which was spun-off in 1978, filed for Chapter 11 protection under the federal bankruptcy code in January 1996. As part of the bankruptcy proceedings, the former subsidiary has rejected certain store leases which were originated prior to the spin-off and for which the Company was allegedly a guarantor. A reserve for losses associated with these alleged guarantees has been established and, based on the present information with respect to about the rejected leases, management believes such reserve is adequate to cover any liability the Company may have the Company's liability under these alleged guarantees. Actual results may differ from this forward- looking projection. The former subsidiary may reject further alleged guaranteed leases with alleged guarantees, which may result in additional potential liabilitylosses. Please refer to the risk factors discussion herein.

TANDYCRAFTS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
Description of Business - Tandycrafts, Inc. ("Tandycrafts" or the "Company") operates in two primary industry segments, specialty retail and specialty manufacturing. The specialty retail segment consists of four distinct retail concepts: Tandy Leather Company, which sells leathercraft and related products through 173 stores located in 45 states; Joshua's Christian Stores, which sells inspirational books, music and gifts through a chain of 74 stores in twelve states; Sav-On Office Supplies, which sells office supplies and related products through a chain of 36 stores located in eleven states; and Cargo Furniture and Accents, which sells a proprietary line of solid wood furniture and accessories through a chain of 39 stores located primarily in regional shopping malls. The specialty manufacturing segment is comprised of two divisions: Picture Frames and Framed Art and Tandy Wholesale International ("TWI") division.
Principles of consolidation - The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries after elimination of significant inter-company accounts and transactions.
Cash and cash equivalents - The Company considers, for purposes of the statement of cash flows, all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Inventories - Inventories are stated at the lower of average cost or market and consist of the following (in thousands):
June 30, ------------------ 1996 1995 -------- -------- Finished goods $ 42,966 $ 46,276 Raw materials and work-in-process 16,318 19,466 -------- -------- $ 59,284 $ 65,742 ======== ========
Property and equipment - Property and equipment is depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets using principally the straight-line method at the rates shown below:
Buildings 3% to 10% Fixtures and equipment 5% to 50% Leasehold improvements 5% to 20%, or the life of the lease.
Expenditures for maintenance, repairs, renewals and betterments which do not materially prolong the useful lives of the assets are charged to income as incurred. The cost of property retired or sold, and the related accumulated depreciation, is removed from the accounts and any gain or loss, after taking into consideration proceeds from sales, is reflected in income.
Pre-opening expenses - Expenses associated with the opening of new stores are expensed as incurred.
Fair value of financial instruments - The fair value of the Company's long-term debt approximates the carrying value due to the floating interest rates on such debt. The carrying value of the Company's other financial instruments approximates fair value due to the short-term maturities of the assets and liabilities.
Goodwill - The cost of businesses acquired in purchase transactions has been allocated among the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired based upon their fair values at the dates of acquisition. Any cost in excess of the fair value of such identifiable net assets acquired has been allocated to goodwill. In general, goodwill is amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of forty years. Accumulated amortization of goodwill at June 30, 1996 and 1995 was $1,296,000 and $1,743,000, respectively. Net goodwill in the amount of $7,477,000 was written-off in the quarter ended December 31, 1995 as part of the restructuring program adopted during that quarter. Goodwill which arose prior to October 31, 1970, aggregating $2,147,000, is reviewed annually by the Board of Directors and will continue to be carried as an asset unless the Board determines that events and circumstances indicate that there has been a decline or limitation in the value, at which time an appropriate amortization policy will be adopted. Annually, the carrying value of goodwill related to purchase transactions is evaluated to determine if events and circumstances indicate a potential impairment of the recoverability of such goodwill. The carrying value of goodwill will be reduced if it is probable that the undiscounted cash flows from the related operations will be less than the carrying amounts of the goodwill and other long-lived assets.
Income taxes - Income taxes are calculated in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes" which requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities be recognized based on differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using presently enacted rates.
Net income (loss) per share - Net income (loss) per share of common stock is based upon the weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during the periods, after giving effect to stock splits. The computation of weighted average shares outstanding for fiscal 1996 included no common stock equivalents, while common stock equivalents of 5,000 and 171,000 were included for fiscal 1995 and 1994, respectively.
Advertising costs - Advertising costs are expensed the first time the advertising takes place. Advertising expense for fiscal 1996, 1995 and 1994 was $8.8 million, $8.1 million and $5.1 million, respectively.
New accounting standards - In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of" , which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. In October 1995, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123"), which is effective for transactions entered into in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 1995. SFAS 123 establishes a fair value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation plans. The effect of adopting both of these standards is not expected to be material to the Company's financial position or results of operations.
Pervasiveness of estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reclassifications - Certain amounts in prior years have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
NOTE 2 - STRATEGIC RESTRUCTURING AND CONSOLIDATION PROGRAM
Description In the quarter ended December 31, 1995, the Company adopted a strategic restructuring and consolidation program. The primary components of this program included: (i) the sale of Cargo Furniture and Accents, (ii) the sale or closure of Prestige Leather Creations, David James Manufacturing, Brand Name Apparel and certain other individually insignificant operations, (iii) the closure of 11 retail stores including two at Sav-On Office Supplies, five at Joshua's Christian Stores and four at Tandy Leather Company, (iv) the consolidation of certain functions within TWI of Nocona Belt Company and Rivertown Button Company, which was relocated from Houston, Minnesota to Fort Worth, Texas, (v) the consolidation, streamlining and, in some cases, outsourcing of certain functions throughout various operating units, and (vi) the retention of an outside consulting firm to assist senior management in evaluating and developing the Company's retail concepts. The adoption of this program was a direct result of a strategic review initiated in August 1995 during which the Company's various business units were examined, including the role and strategy of each in generating sales and profits, as well as each business unit's market position and growth potential. The intent of this program was to improve the Company's competitive position by focusing the Company's resources in those areas which offer the greatest potential for growth and increased value for shareholders. Upon completion of this plan, the Company will be comprised of three specialty retail operations; Tandy Leather Company, Joshua's Christian Stores and Sav-On Office Supplies, and two manufacturing divisions; TWI and Picture Frames and Framed Art.
Restructuring charges As a result of the adoption of the strategic restructuring and consolidation program discussed above, the Company recorded restructuring charges of $18.8 million in the quarter ended December 31, 1995. In the quarter ended March 31, 1996, the Company reversed $501,000 of the initial reserve related to the sale of Prestige Leather Creations. In the quarter ended June 30, 1996, $564,000 of the reserve initially recorded for lease obligations was reclassified to the reserve for asset writedowns as a result of the assignment of leases to the purchasers. The increase in the asset writedown reserve was necessary to cover asset writedowns in excess of those originally anticipated by management. The net restructuring charges include approximately $17.5 million for asset writedowns and anticipated exit costs associated with specialty manufacturing businesses targeted for sale or closureto be sold or closed and $0.8 million for asset writedowns and anticipated exit costs associated with the closure of certain retail stores. Approximately $16.2 million of the restructuring charges relate to non-cash writedowns of assets to their estimated realizable values, including $7.5 million related to the write off of goodwill, $6.1 million related to the liquidation of inventories, $1.2 million related to the writedown of fixed assets, and $1.4 million related to the writedown of various other assets. The remaining $2.1 million of the restructuring charges represents anticipated cash outlays. Approximately $1.6 million relates to lease obligations and the remainder relates to other contractual obligations and exit costs. No severance costs have been included in the restructuring charges. The following table sets forth the restructuring charges by segment (in thousands):
Specialty Specialty Manufacturing Retail Corporate Total ------------- --------- --------- --------
Asset writedowns $ 15,861 $ 318 $ - $ 16,179 Lease and other exit costs 1,581 517 40 2,138 -------- ----- ---- -------- Restructuring charge for the year ended June 30, 1996 $ 17,442 $ 835 $ 40 $ 18,317 ======== ===== ==== ========
The following table sets forth the accrual activity in the restructuring reserve, which is included in current accrued liabilities in the June 30, 1996 balance sheet (in thousands):
Specialty Specialty Manufacturing Retail Corporate Total ------------- --------- --------- --------
Balance at June 30, 1995 $ - $ - $ - $ - Restructuring charges 17,943 835 40 18,818 Cash payments (397) (78) (40) (515) Non-cash asset writedowns (15,861) (318) - (16,179) Non-cash adjustment to restructuring charges (501) - - (501) -------- ----- ---- -------- Balance at June 30, 1996 $ 1,184 $ 439 $ - $ 1,623 ======== ===== ==== ========
As of June 30, 1996, the restructuring and consolidation program is substantially complete and management expects it to be fully completed during fiscal 1997. Since December 31, 1995, the Company has sold Prestige Leather Creations and Brand Name Apparel and has closed David James Manufacturing and certain other individually insignificant operations. On the retail side, the Company has closed two Sav-On stores, two Tandy Leather stores and one Joshua's store. The Company expects to complete the sale of Cargo during the first half of fiscal 1997. Total proceeds from the sale of Prestige Leather approximated $1.5 million, with approximately $900,000 being paid in cash and $607,000 in notes receivable which bearbearing interest at 8.5% to 9.5% and maturematuring at various dates through March 26, 2000. Total proceeds from the sale of Brand Name Apparel were approximately $1,038,000 in cash. The above provisions are estimates based on the Company's judgment at this time. Adjustments to the restructuring provisions may be necessary in the future based on further development of restructuring related activitiescosts. Although no additional restructuring plans are currently under consideration, the Company continues to evaluate possible actions which are aimed at improving the profitability and competitive position of the Company.

NOTE 3 - ACQUISITIONS
During fiscal 1996, the Company made no acquisitions; however, in the prior two fiscal years, the Company completed a number of strategic acquisitions to complement its operations. All acquisitions discussed below were accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Goodwill resulting from these acquisitions is being amortized over forty years. The following discussion outlines the acquisitions made in fiscal 1995 and 1994.
Fiscal 1995
Effective November 1, 1994, the Company acquired the assets and assumed certain liabilities of the Novelty Division of Trench Manufacturing Company, Inc. ("Trench"). Trench's Novelty Division manufactures pennants, bumper stickers, foam hands and other novelty items. The acquisition was made for approximately $3.7 million in cash and resulted in the recording of goodwill of $3.1 million. During fiscal 1995, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Joshua's Christian Stores, purchased two Christian book stores for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $600,000 in cash. The acquisitions resulted in the recording of goodwill of approximately $284,000.
Fiscal 1994
Effective September 1, 1993 the Company acquired the net assets of TAG Express, a marketer of products featuring leading professional and collegiate sports logos, for approximately $5.2 million in cash. The acquisition resulted in the recording of goodwill of $4.0 million. On September 30, 1993, the Company acquired the net assets of Birdlegs, Inc. ("Birdlegs") for approximately $4.2 million in cash. Birdlegs produces and markets screen-printed active wear. The acquisition resulted in the recording of goodwill of $2.4 million. Effective November 1, 1993, the Company purchased substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Prestige Leather Creations, Inc. ("Prestige") for $8.7 million in cash. Prestige manufactures and markets a broad line of men's and women's belts ranging from the low-end to the high-end market segments of the belt industry. During fiscal 1995, additional consideration of $600,000 became due to the former owners based upon the occurrence of certain events as specified in the purchase agreement. The acquisition resulted in the recording of goodwill of $5.9 million. Effective November 1, 1993, the Company purchased substantially all of the outstanding assets and assumed certain liabilities of Impulse Designs, Inc. ("Impulse") for $17.7 million in cash. Impulse is a leading producer of framed art to mass-market retailers. The terms of the purchase agreement provided for a contingent cash payment based upon the attainment of certain earnings thresholds for the year ended December 31, 1994. In April 1995, the Company paid $4.3 million in accordance with such provision of the purchase agreement and in January 1996, the Company made a final cash payment of approximately $2.5 million to the former owners of Impulse Designs to complete the transaction. This amount is reflected as an increase in goodwill in the June 30, 1996 balance sheet. In total, this acquisition has resulted in the recording of goodwill of $21.4 million. The Company also incurred approximately $457,000 of expenses related to the settlement of the contingent payment which are reflected in the results of operations for fiscal 1996. Effective April 1, 1994, the Company purchased the net assets of Rivertown Button, Inc. for approximately $6.0 million in cash. Rivertown Button is a contract manufacturer of promotional buttons. The acquisition resulted in the recording of goodwill of $4.3 million. During fiscal 1994, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Joshua's Christian Stores, purchased eight Christian book stores for an aggregate purchase price of $1.9 million in cash. The acquisitions resulted in the recording of goodwill of $1.4 million. During fiscal 1994, the Company purchased three other businesses for cash aggregating $1.9 million. These acquisitions resulted in the recording of goodwill of $1.6 million.

NOTE 6 - DEBT
The Company has a $60 million revolving credit facility with a group of banks. The credit facility is an unsecured, two-year revolving line of credit, renewable annually. Interest rates on borrowings are based on current LIBOR or prime rates, at the option of the Company. A commitment fee of 1/4% is charged on the unused portion of the credit facility. Interest rates on borrowings at June 30, 1996 ranged from 6.375% to 6.414%. At June 30, 1996, the Company had borrowings aggregating $53,270,000 and letters of credit aggregating $544,000 outstanding under this facility. The loan agreement contains provisions specifying certain limitations on the amount of future indebtedness, investments and dividends, and requires the maintenance of certain financial ratios and balances. At June 30, 1996, the Company was in compliance with such covenants. As part of the Company's planned restructuring and consolidation program discussed in Note 2, the bank group agreed to extend the maturity date of the current revolving credit facility to October 1, 1997 under the existing terms and to amend certain provisions, restrictions and covenants under the revolving credit agreement as of December 31, 1995 to allow the actions contemplated by the Company's restructuring plan to occur without placing the Company in default. The Company has agreed with its lending banks to reduce the commitment amount under the revolving loan agreement from $60,000,000 to $50,000,000 by October 31, 1996. As a result, the Company has classified $3,270,000 as current on the June 30, 1996 balance sheet. In April 1995, the Company executed three $1 million promissory notes with its agent bank. The promissory notes were due on July 3, 1995. Two of the notes were repaid and the third note was refinanced under the Company's long- term credit facility discussed above and was therefore classified as long-term debt at June 30, 1996. On July 6, 1995, the Company established an additional $10 million unsecured revolving credit facility with its primary bankers. Interest rates on borrowings were based on current LIBOR or prime rates, at the option of the Company and a commitment fee of 1/4% was charged on any unused portion of the credit facility. This credit facility terminated on March 31, 1996.
NOTE 7 - INCOME TAXES
The provision for income taxes is as follows (in thousands):
1996 1995 1994 ------- ------- ------- Current tax expense (benefit): Federal $(4,361) $ 2,205 $ 4,440 State and local (14) 114 436 ------- ------- ------- Total current (4,375) 2,319 4,876
Deferred tax expense (benefit): Federal (799) 491 198 ------- ------- -------- Total provision (benefit) $(5,174) $ 2,810 $ 5,074 ======= ======= ========
Deferred tax liabilities (assets) are comprised of the following at June 30 (in thousands):
1996 1995 -------- -------- Depreciation $ 1,739 $ 1,758 Deferred compensation 110 - Goodwill 1,119 834 -------- -------- Total deferred tax liabilities 2,968 2,592 -------- -------- Inventory (202) (273) Bad debts (97) (172) Restructuring accrual (987) Loss carryforwards (1,077) - Deferred compensation (119) (65) Lease reserves (37) (42) Other (253) (11) -------- -------- Total deferred tax assets (2,772) (563) Valuation allowance 1,034 - -------- -------- Net deferred tax assets (1,738) (563) -------- -------- $ 1,230 $ 2,029 ======== ========
A valuation allowance was established in 1996 in the amount of $1,034,000. This allowance relates to state tax loss carryforwards. Their use is limited to the future taxable earnings of the Company and its subsidiaries in certain states and it was determined to be more likely than not that these state tax carryforwards would not be utilized.
The provision for income taxes differs from the amount of income tax determined by applying the applicable U.S. statutory federal income tax rate to pretax income as a result of the following differences (in thousands):
Year ended June 30, ----------------------------- 1996 1995 1994 ------- ------- -------

NOTE 8 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company leases certain properties consisting primarily of retail stores and transportation equipment under operating leases expiring through 2004. Real estate taxes, maintenance and certain other costs are borne by the Company under the provisions of most of the leases.
The composition of total rental expense for operating leases is as follows (in thousands):
Year ended June 30 1996 1995 1994 ------- ------- ------- Rentals: Minimum $ 9,812 $ 9,598 $ 7,760 Contingent (percentage of sales) 48 31 54 ------- ------- ------- $ 9,860 $ 9,629 $ 7,814 ======= ======= =======
Minimum rental commitments for noncancellable operating leases (primarily retail store space) at June 30, 1996 are summarized as follows (in thousands):
Year ended June 30, 1997 $ 7,915 1998 6,518 1999 4,968 2000 3,221 2001 1,754 2002 and thereafter 2,002 --------- $ 26,378 =========
A former subsidiary of the Company, which spun-off in 1978, filed for Chapter 11 protection under the federal bankruptcy code in January 1996. As part of the bankruptcy proceedings, the former subsidiary has rejected certain store leases which were originated prior to the spin-off and for which the Company was allegedly a guarantor. A reserve for losses associated with these alleged guarantees has been established and, based on the present information with respect to about the rejected leases, management believes such reserve is adequate to cover any liability the Company may havethe Company's liability under these alleged guarantees. However, the former subsidiary may reject further leases with alleged guarantees, which may result in additional potential liability to the Company.
NOTE 9 - EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN
During fiscal 1988, the Company adopted the Tandycrafts, Inc. Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the "ESOP" or the "Plan") which is open to all eligible employees of the Company employed in the United States. Under the Plan, a participant contributes 5% of his earnings into the section 401(k) portion of the Plan, which is immediately vested and is used to purchase common stock of the Company. The Company's matching contribution is 200% of the participant's contribution. As of July 1, 1996, the Company's matching contribution was reduced to 100% of the participant's contribution. The Company's contribution is vested upon completion of five years of credited service. The employee and Company contributions are paid to a corporate trustee. During fiscal 1996, the ESOP was amended to allow shares forfeited by unvested employees to be used to reduce subsequent Company contributions to the ESOP. Previously, such forfeited shares were reallocated to the remaining plan participants. Company contributions to the ESOP, net of forfeitures, for the years ended June 30, 1996, 1995, and 1994 were approximately $1,889,000, $3,933,000, and $3,953,000, respectively. Forfeitures totaled $1,612,000 in fiscal 1996.
NOTE 10 - STOCK OPTION PLANS
The Tandycrafts, Inc. 1992 Stock Option Plan (the "Stock Option Plan") provides for the grant of options to purchase up to 1,400,000 shares of the Company's common stock by officers and key employees. Options granted under the Stock Option Plan may not have an option price less than the fair market value of common stock on the date of grant. Options are exercisable at a rate of 20% per year beginning at least one year after the date of grant and, if not exercised, expire ten years from the date of grant. The Tandycrafts, Inc. 1992 Director Stock Option Plan (the "Director Plan") provides for the grant of options to non-employee directors to purchase up to 240,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The Director options are exercisable 33-1/3% at date of grant and 16-2/3% on the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the date of grant and, if not exercised, expire ten years from the date of grant.
A summary of stock option activity under these plans follows:
Option amount Shares per share ------------ ------------ Options outstanding, June 30, 1994 1,418,900 $10.69-18.44 Options granted 77,000 $ 8.82-12.57 Options exercised Options terminated (35,800) $11.13-18.44 ------------ ------------ Options outstanding, June 30, 1995 1,460,100 $ 8.82-18.44 Options granted 63,000 $ 8.00-8.25 Options exercised - $ - Options terminated (447,100) $10.69-18.44 ------------ ------------

NOTE 11 - INDUSTRY SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC AREA INFORMATION
The Company operates in two primary industry segments, specialty retail and specialty manufacturing. The specialty retail segment is comprised of four distinct retail concepts. The specialty manufacturing segment is comprised of two divisions: Picture Frames and Framed Art and TWI. Substantially all of the specialty retail products are marketed through 322 Company-owned specialty retail stores located in 45 states of the United States. The specialty retail segment grants nominal credit primarily to institutional customers. The specialty manufacturing segment, during fiscal 1996, 1995 and 1994, had net sales of $30,065,000, $26,774,000 and $24,259,000, respectively, to a group of customers under common control. The Company had no other individual customer or group of customers which accounted for more than 10% of the Company's total revenue. The specialty manufacturing segment, in the normal course of business, grants credit with the majority of its sales. Such receivables are generally not collateralized. The concentration of credit risk within this segment may impact the Company's overall credit risk, either positively or negatively, in that these customers may be similarly affected by industry-wide changes in economic or other conditions. Historically, credit losses experienced by the Company on receivables generally have not been material. Intersegment sales represent sales from the specialty manufacturing group to the specialty retail group. Operating income (loss) is segment revenue less segment operating expenses, which excludes corporate charges, goodwill amortization, interest expense and taxes on income. Identifiable assets by segment are those assets that are used in each segment. Corporate assets are comprised of cash and short-term investments. Segment information for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 1996 is as follows (in thousands):
