CURRENT REPORT

FORM 8-K/A

Section 9. Financial Statements and Exhibits

We are amending the financing assumptions, and accordingly, the pro forma information previously included under Item 9.01 in our Current Report on Form 8-K, dated August 30, 2005 to reflect the revised financing assumptions as well as to incorporate our nine months ended September 30, 2005 information.

Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits

Tanger Properties Limited Partnership, (the “Operating Partnership”), filed a Form 8-Kdated August 22, 2005 to announce an agreement to acquire for $282.5 million the remaining two-thirds interest in the portfolio of nine factory outlet centers with approximately 3.3 million square feet, (the “Charter Oak Portfolio”) owned by an affiliate of Blackstone Real Estate Advisors (“Blackstone”). The Operating Partnership and Blackstone originally acquired the Charter Oak Portfolio in December 2003 through a joint venture, COROC Holdings LLC (“COROC”), whereby the Operating Partnership owned a one-third interest and Blackstone owned a two-thirds interest.

The Operating Partnership is managed by its sole general partner, Tanger GP Trust, a wholly owned subsidiary of Tanger Factory Outlet Centers, Inc. (the “Company”). The terms “we”, “our” and “us” refer to the Operating Partnership or, the Operating Partnership and the Company together, as the context requires.

Separate financial statements for the Charter Oak Portfolio are not required since the results of its operations have been included in our audited consolidated financial statements since December 2003. Unaudited pro forma financial information filed herewith to give effect to the proposed acquisition are as set forth below:

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The accompanying unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements have been derived from the historical statements of the Operating Partnership and give effect to the proposed acquisition of the remaining two-thirds interest in the Charter Oak Portfolio owned by Blackstone. The unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and the year ended December 31, 2004 assume the acquisition had occurred as of January 1, 2004. The unaudited Pro forma Consolidated Balance Sheet assumes the acquisition had occurred on September 30, 2005.

The purchase price of $282.5 million involves an all-cash payment, which we expect to finance in the public markets through a mixture of long-term unsecured debt and equity. Closing of the transaction is subject to certain conditions including those contained within an existing GMAC loan currently collateralizing the properties. We anticipate the transaction will close sometime in November 2005.

The unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements reflect the early prepayment of our mortgages with John Hancock totaling $77.4 million as well as an associated prepayment premium of $9.4 million on October 3, 2005, which were secured by four properties in our portfolio.

The unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements also reflect our assumption that the Operating Partnership will finance the purchase price of $282.5 million, the related estimated closing costs of $3.3 million and the early prepayment of the John Hancock mortgages and related prepayment premium totaling $86.8 million. The financing will include (1) contributions from the Company from its issuance of 3.0 million preferred shares with net proceeds of approximately $72.3 million; (2) the issuance of long-term unsecured public debt with net proceeds of approximately $248.1 million; (3) the use of $24.75 million in cash equivalents and short-term investments available as of September 30, 2005; and (4) draw downs of $27.4 million of available lines of credit. The Company will contribute the net proceeds from the preferred share offering to the Operating Partnership in exchange for one unit of preferred partnership interest for each preferred share issued. There can be no assurance that closing on the transaction will actually occur or that we will be able to issue these securities in the form and for the amounts stated above to fund our transaction. Changes in the form of securities issued or in the amount of common shares, preferred shares and debt actually issued could result in an increase or decrease in pro forma income from continuing operations and related pro forma earnings per common unit.

The accompanying unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements reflect a preliminary allocation of the purchase price under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, “Business Combinations” (“FAS 141”). This allocation is subject to final adjustment following the acquisition. The Operating Partnership expects to finalize the valuation following the consummation of the transaction. Changes in the allocation of the purchase price and/or estimated useful lives from those used in the unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements could result in an increase or decrease in pro forma income from continuing operations and related pro forma earnings per common unit. The following table summarizes our preliminary allocation of purchase price plus closing costs and the estimated useful lives used for the pro forma calculations.

	Amount (in thousands)		Average estimated useful life (in years)
Land	$	4,873
Buildings, improvements and fixtures		41,048		24.4
Deferred lease and other intangibles:
Above (below) market leases, net		(4,754)		3.8
Other lease related intangibles (principally tenant relationships and
lease in place value)		16,186		5.9
Debt premium		1,173		3.0
Minority interest		227,234
Net assets acquired	$	285,760

The unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared by the Operating Partnership's management. These pro forma statements may not be indicative of the results that would have actually occurred if the acquisition and the early prepayment of the John Hancock mortgages had been in effect on the dates indicated, nor do they purport to represent the results of operations for future periods. The unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Operating Partnership's unaudited financial statements and notes thereto as of September 30, 2005 and for the nine months then ended (which are contained in the Operating Partnership's Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2005), and the Operating Partnership’s audited financial statements and notes thereto as of December 31, 2004 and for the year then ended (which are contained in the Operating Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004).
