In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements for TheTandy Leather Factory, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (“TLF” or the “Company”) contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly its financial position as of March 31,June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, and its results of operations and cash flows for the three-monththree and/or six-month periods ended March 31,June 30, 2005 and 2004. Operating results for the three-month periodthree and six-month periods ended March 31,June 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2005. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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.

Inventory

. Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market and is accounted for on the “first in, first out” method. Based on negotiations with vendors, title generally passes to us when merchandise is put on board. Merchandise to which we have title but have not yet received is recorded as Inventory in transit. In addition, the value of inventory is periodically reduced for slow-moving or obsolete inventory based on management's review of items on hand compared to their estimated future demand.

The components of inventory consist of the following:

Goodwill and Other Intangibles

. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," prescribes a two-phase process for impairment testing of goodwill, which is performed once annually, absent indicators of impairment during the interim. The first phase screens for impairment, while the second phase (if necessary) measures the impairment. The Company has elected to perform the annual analysis during the fourth calendar quarter of each year.Asyear. As of December 31, 2004, management determined that the present value of the discounted estimated future cash flows of the stores associated with the goodwill is sufficient to support their respective goodwill balances.Nobalances. No indicators of impairment were identified during the first quarterhalf of 2005.

Other intangibles consist of the following:

Revenue Recognition

. The Company's sales generally occur via two methods: (1) at the counter in the Company's stores, and (2) shipment by common carrier. Sales at the counter are recorded and title passes as transactions occur. Otherwise, sales are recorded and title passes when the merchandise is shipped to the customer. The Company's shipping terms are FOB shipping point.

The Company offers an unconditional satisfaction guarantee to its customers and accepts all product returns. Net sales represent gross sales less negotiated price allowances, product returns, and allowances for defective merchandise.  

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
. In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123R, "Share-Based Payments." SFAS No. 123R is a revision of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation," and supercedes APB Opinion No. 25. Among other items, SFAS No. 123R eliminates the use of APB 25 and the intrinsic value method of accounting, and requires companies to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments, based on the grant date fair value of those awards, in the financial statements. The effective date of SFAS No. 123R for the Company was the third quarter of 2005. On April 14, 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission announced a delay in the required effective date for public companies to the first annual reporting period beginning after June 15, 2005.

2. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
 
The Company accounts for stock options granted to its directors and employees using the intrinsic value method prescribed by APB No. 25 which requires compensation expense be recognized for stock options when the quoted market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant exceeds the option’s exercise price. No compensation cost has been reflected in net income for the granting of director and employee stock options as all options granted had an exercise price equal to the quoted market price of the Company’s common stock on the date the options were granted.
 
Had compensation cost for the Company’s stock options been determined consistent with the SFAS 123 fair value approach, the Company’s net income and net income per common share for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2005 and 2004, on a pro forma basis, would have been as follows:

The fair values of stock options granted were estimated on the dates of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 4.0% and 3.125% for 2005 and 2004, respectively; dividend yields of 0% for both periods; volatility factors of .366 for 2005 and .302 for 2004; and an expected life of the valued options of 5 years.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
  and Results of Operations.

Our Business

We are the world’s largest specialty retailer and wholesale distributor of leather and leathercraft related items. We market our products to our growing list of customers through company-owned retail stores and wholesale distribution centers. We are a Delaware corporation and our common stock trades on the American Stock Exchange under the symbol “TLF”. We operate our business in three segments:Wholesale Leathercraft, which operates under the trade name,The Leather Factory; Retail Leathercraft, which operates under the trade name,Tandy Leather Company; andOther. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information concerning our segments, as well as our foreign operations.

10

We operate 30 company-owned Leather Factory wholesale distribution centers in 20 states and three Canadian provinces. Our business concept centers around the wholesale distribution of leather and related items, including leatherworking tools, buckles and belt adornments, leather dyes and finishes, saddle and tack hardware, and do-it-yourself kits, to retailers, manufacturers, and end users.
 
Tandy Leather, the oldest and best-known supplier of leather and related supplies used in the leathercraft industry, has been the primary leathercraft resource for decades. Products include quality tools, leather, accessories, kits and teaching materials. In 2002, we began expanding Tandy Leather’s industry presence by opening retail stores. As of MayAugust 1, 2005, we have opened 4446 Tandy Leather retail stores located throughout the United States and Canada.

Our “Other” segment consists of Roberts, Cushman and Co., a wholly-owned subsidiary that custom designs and manufactures decorative hat trims for headwear manufacturers.

Critical Accounting Policies

A description of our critical accounting policies appears in "Item 2. Management's Discussions and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements contained in this report and other materials we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as information included in oral statements or other written statements made or to be made by us, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements generally are accompanied by words such as “may,” “will,“will, “could,“could, “should,“should, “anticipate,“anticipate, “believe,“believe, “budgeted,“budgeted, “expect,“expect, “intend,“intend, “plan,“plan, “project,“project, “potential,“potential, “estimate,“estimate, “continue,“continue,” or “future” variations thereof or other similar statements. There are certain important risks that could cause results to differ materially from those anticipated by some of the forward-looking statements. Some, but not all, of the important risks which could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements include, among other things:

 
Ø  
We may fail to realize the anticipated benefits of the opening of Tandy Leather retail stores or we may be unable to obtain sufficient new locations on acceptable terms to meet our growth plans. Also, other retail initiatives may not be successful.
 
When we acquired the assets of Tandy Leather in late 2000, there was only a single Tandy Leather distribution center and no retail outlets. In 2002, we began a program of developing Tandy Leather retail stores, and through March 31,June 30, 2005, we have added forty-fourforty-six Tandy Leather stores and closed the distribution center. We believe that these store openings and acquisitions have been successful, but there can be no assurancewe cannot assure you that this success will continue or that we will be able to find additional locations for new stores or existing leathercraft stores to acquire on economically viable terms. Because, in recent years, the expansion of Tandy Leather has produced much of the increase in our profits, disruption of this expansion would likely slow or stop this increase in profits.
 
Ø  
Recent declines in sales to national accounts by our Wholesale LeathercraftLeather Factory operation could continue.
 
11

Sales to national accounts by our Wholesale Leathercraft operationsegment decreased in 2004 and were also down in the first threesix months of 2005. We are working to reverse this trend, but, if it continues, our consolidated net income could be reduced. 
 
Ø  
Political considerations herein the United States and abroad could disrupt our sources of supplies from abroad or affect the prices we pay for goods. Continued involvement by the United States in war and other military operations in the Middle East and other areas abroad could disrupt international trade and affect our inventory sources.
 
Recent political discussions have suggested that the United States shouldmay impose barriers on the importation of certain goods. We rely heavily on imported goods as sources of the inventory we sell. Tariffs, taxes and limits on these imports could affect our ability to obtain inventory or increase the price we pay for inventory. If these disruptions occur, our operations could be adversely affected.
 
Also, the involvement of the United States in the war in Iraq and the anti-terrorist activities in Afghanistan have produced political uncertainty and, in certain countries, resentment against the United States and its citizens and companies. These issues may also affect our ability to obtain products from abroad.
 
Ø  
If, for whatever reason, the costs of our raw materials and inventory increase, we may not be able to pass those costs on to our customers, particularly if the economy has not recovered from its downturn.
 
The prices of hides and leathers fluctuate in normal times, and these fluctuations can affect our business. Livestock diseases such as mad cow could reduce the availability of hides and leathers or increase their cost. Our ability to pass increased costs on to our customers is limited. If our costs increase and we are unable to pass the cost on to our customers, we will experience reduced operating income from existing operations.
 
Ø  
We believe that theThe recent rise in oil and natural gas prices willmay increase the costs of the goods that we sell, including the costs of shipping those goods from the manufacturer to our stores and customers.
 
Various oils used to manufacture certain leather and leathercrafts are derived from petroleum and natural gas. Also, the carriers who transport our goods rely on petroleum-based fuels to power their ships, trucks and trains. They are likely to pass their increased costs on to us. We are unsure how much of this increase we will be able to pass on to our customers.
 
Ø  
The recent economyeconomic downturn in the United States, as well as abroad, may cause our sales to decrease or not to increase or adversely affect the prices charged for our products. Also, hostilities, terrorism or other events could worsen this condition.
 
Recently, the world economy has shown signs of recovering from an economic slump. However, this recovery is not yet complete, and there can be no assurancewe cannot assure you that increased oil and gas prices, terrorism, or other factors will not impede this recovery. Continuation or worsening of the economic condition in the United States or internationally is likely to limit or decrease our profits.
 
In addition, terrorism or the threat of terrorist attacks in the United States or against United States interests abroad could cause consumer buying habits to change and decrease our sales. We believe that major disruptions (such as terrorist attacks) could reduce consumer spending, particularly purchases of non-essential products such as ours.
 
Other factors could cause either fluctuations in buying patterns or possible negative trends in the craft and western retail markets. In addition, our customers may change their preferences to products other than ours, or they may not accept new products as we introduce them.
 
We assume no obligation to update or otherwise revise our forward-looking statements even if experience or future changes make it clear that any projected results, express or implied, will not be realized.

The wholesale centers achieved solid sales gains for the quarter, exceeding our internal expectations for sales growth of 2-4%. We’ve been aggressive in our advertising efforts to our WHOLESALE and MANUFACTURER customers, emphasizing various leathers in our recent sales flyers. We believe our sales growth is a result of the response from these customers to such advertising. Sales to our NATIONAL ACCOUNT customers were down in the second quarter of 2005 and as discussed in previous filings, having been declining since the latter half of 2003. We did record a sales gain for the month of June however, and as a result, we are cautiously optimistic that we are beginning to make some positive progress with this group.

Capital Resources, Liquidity and Financial Condition

On our consolidated balance sheet, total assets increased from $22.1 million at year-end 2004 to $23.2$25.5 million at March 31,June 30, 2005. Our accounts receivable and inventory accounted for the majority of the increase. Total stockholders’ equity increased from $17.3 million at December 31, 2004 to $18.4$19.3 million at March 31,June 30, 2005. Most of the increase was from earnings in the first quarterhalf of this year. Our current ratio fell slightly from 4.79 at December 31, 2004 to 4.443.70 at March 31, 2005.June 30, 2005 as a result of the increase in inventory-in-transit at the end of the quarter.

Our investment in inventory increased by $377,000 at March 31, 2005$2.2 million from year-end 2004.2004 to June 30, 2005. Inventory in transit at June 30, 2005 was $2.0 million. Inventory turnover decreased to an annualized rate of 3.933.59 times during the first quartersix months of 2005, from 4.343.98 times for the first quarterhalf of 2004. Inventory turnover was 3.87 times for all of 2004. We compute our inventory turns as sales divided by average inventory. Inventory management is a significant factor in our financial position and, as we continue our expansion of the Tandy Leather store chain, we expect our inventory to slowly trend upward.increase. We strive to maintain the optimal amount of inventory throughout the system in order to fill customer orders timely without tying up too much working capital. At the end of the firstsecond quarter, our total inventory on hand was slightly lower thanwithin 5% of our internal targets for optimal inventory levels.

Our investment in accounts receivable was $2.5 million at March 31,June 30, 2005, up $512,000$489,000 from $2.0 million at year-end 2004. This is a result of an increase in credit sales during the quarter ended March 31,first half of 2005 as compared to that of the quarter ended December 31,last half of 2004 and a slight increase in the average days outstanding on our accounts. The average days to collect accounts for the first quarterhalf of 2005 slowed from the fourth quarter of 2004 from 43.643 days to 51.8 days primarily as a result of the accounts receivable obtained via an acquisition completed in December 2004.46 days.

Accounts payable decreased $432,000remained virtually unchanged from the end of 2004 to $1.5 million at the end of the firstsecond quarter due primarily to the decrease in inventory purchases during the quarter.of 2005, increasing $56,000. Accrued expenses and other liabilities increased $455,000.$1.7 million. The increase is due to the accrual recorded for inventory enroute to us as of the end of the quarterJune 30, 2005 in the amount of $1.0$2.0 million, partially offset by a reduction in accrued payroll and bonuses and various other expense accruals. The bonuses accrued at the end of December 2004 were paid in March 2005.

During the first quarterhalf of 2005, cash flow provided by operating activities was $500,000.$924,000. The net income generated for the quarteryear and the increase in accrued expenses accounted for the majority of the cash flow, partially offset by increases in accounts receivable and inventory. Cash flow used in investing activities totaled $110,000, $88,000$213,000, $139,000 of which pertains to the purchase and additional development of a new computer system. Once the system is usable for point-of-sale and inventory management, we intend to reclassify the cost to property and equipment. Equipment purchased during the quarterto date in 2005 totaled $29,000.$83,000. Cash flow used by financing activities was $483,000,$456,000, consisting of payments on our revolving credit facility and note payable during the quartercapital lease obligation totaling $538,000,$572,000, partially offset by proceeds from stock option exercises by employees totaling $55,000.$116,000.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

For disclosures about market risk affecting the Company, see Item 7A "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. We believe that our exposure to market risks has not changed significantly since December 31, 2004.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

At the end of the firstsecond quarter of 2005, our President, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based upon this evaluation and notwithstanding the limitations contained in the final paragraph of this Item 4, they concluded that, as of March 31,June 30, 2005, our disclosure controls and procedures offer reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time period specified in the rules and forms adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

During the period covered by this report, there has been no change in our internal controls over financial reporting that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, these controls.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls.Our management, including the President, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A well conceived and operating control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.
