Item 8.01 Other Events

On August 9, 2006, Tanger Factory Outlet Centers, Inc. (the “Company”) expects to file a registration statement on Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as a well-known seasoned issuer where we will be able to register unspecified amounts of different classes of securities. In connection with the filing of such registration statement on Form S-3 and for the sole purpose of meeting SEC reporting requirements with respect to such registration statement, we are filing this Current Report on Form 8-K to set forth audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, amended to reflect the reclassification of the results of operations for one property sold during the three month period ended March 31, 2006, from continuing operations to discontinued operations for all years presented.
 
We are amending our audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 due to certain provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“FAS 144”) that require us to report the results of operations of properties disposed of or classified as held for sale in which we have no significant continuing involvement in discontinued operations for all periods presented. The effect of the reclassifications represents the following decreases in our previously reported income from continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 respectively:
 
2005
2004
2003
$1,831,000
$683,000
$470,000

As a result of the above, Notes 6, 12, and 19 to the consolidated financial statements for the three years ended December 31, 2005 have been updated. Note 20 has been added to the consolidated financial statements. There is no effect on our previously reported net income, financial condition or cash flows. In addition, we have provided herein an updated table of selected financial data and management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition, which we believe may be helpful to the investor in reviewing these amended financial statements.
 
Except as described above, the information presented in this Current Report on Form 8-K does not included any adjustments or updates to any information presented in our consolidated financial statements or elsewhere in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.
