This financial statement is the responsibility of the Property's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on this financial statement based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the statement of revenues and certain operating expenses is free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statement. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and the significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. The accompanying statement of revenues and certain operating expenses was prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for inclusion in the current report on Form 8-K of Tanger Properties Limited Partnership as described in Note 1 and is not intended to be a complete presentation of the Property's revenues and expenses. In our opinion, the financial statement referred to above presents fairly, in all material respects, the revenues and certain operating expenses of the Property for the year ended December 31, 1997 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP Greensboro, North Carolina June 30, 1998 3 SANIBEL FACTORY STORES STATEMENT OF REVENUES AND CERTAIN OPERATING EXPENSES For The Year Ended December 31, 1997 (In thousands) Revenues Base rentals $2,815 Percentage rentals 148 Expense reimbursements 1,071 Other income 10 -------- 4,044 -------- Certain operating expenses Advertising and promotion 374 Common area maintenance 363 Real estate taxes 296 Insurance 49 General and administrative 60 -------- 1,142 -------- Excess of revenues over certain operating expenses $2,902 ======== THE ACCOMPANYING NOTES ARE AN INTEGRAL PART OF THIS FINANCIAL STATEMENT. 4 NOTES TO STATEMENT OF REVENUES AND CERTAIN OPERATING EXPENSES (IN THOUSANDS) 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The Statement of Revenues and Certain Operating Expenses relates to the operations of Sanibel Factory Stores, a factory outlet center located in Florida between Ft. Myers and Sanibel Island (the "Property"). The Property was acquired by Tanger Properties Limited Partnership (the "Operating Partnership"). The accompanying Statement of Revenues and Certain Operating Expenses was prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. This statement is not representative of the actual operations for the period presented, as certain expenses, which may not be comparable to the expenses expected to be incurred by the Operating Partnership in the future operation of the Property, have been excluded as discussed below. Certain Operating Expenses include advertising and promotional expenses, common area maintenance, real estate taxes, and certain other operating expenses relating to the operations of the Property. In accordance with the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, mortgage interest, depreciation and amortization and certain other costs have been excluded from certain operating expenses, as they are dependent upon a particular owner, purchase price or other financial arrangement. Certain other costs excluded include: Management fees, net of tenant reimbursements $38 Leasing commissions 21 ---- $59 ==== As a partnership, the allocated share of income or loss for the year is included in the income tax returns of the partners; accordingly, no provision has been made for Federal income taxes in the accompanying financial statements. 2. ACQUISITION CONSIDERATIONS (UNAUDITED) In assessing the Property, the Operating Partnership's management considered the existing tenant base, which is the primary revenue source, occupancy rate, the competitive nature of the market and comparative rental rates. Furthermore, current and anticipated maintenance and repair costs, real estate taxes and capital improvement requirements were evaluated. Management is not aware of any material factors that would cause the reported financial information in the accompanying Statement of Revenues and Certain Operating Expenses to be misleading or not necessarily indicative of future operating results. 5 3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND OPERATING LEASES Base and percentage rental revenues are reported as income over the lease term as earned. The preparation of the Statement of Revenues and Certain Operating Expenses in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period reported. Actual results may differ from those estimates. The Property is leased to tenants under operating leases with expiration dates extending to the year 2005. Future minimum rentals (assuming lease renewal options, where applicable, are not exercised) under noncancellable operating leases, exclusive of additional rents from reimbursement of operating expenses are approximately as follows: 1998 $2,656 1999 2,280 2000 1,828 2001 1,602 2002 1,426 Thereafter 1,222 ======== $11,014 ======== 6 TANGER PROPERTIES LIMITED PARTNERSHIP PRO FORMA STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS The accompanying Pro Forma Financial Statements are based on the historical statements of the Operating Partnership after giving effect to the acquisition of Sanibel Factory Stores, which was acquired on July 31, 1998, and Dalton Factory Stores, which was acquired on March 31, 1998 (collectively, the "Acquisitions"). The unaudited Pro Forma Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and the year ended December 31, 1997 assume the Acquisitions had occurred as of the beginning of each respective period. The Pro Forma 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 Acquisitions had been in effect on the date indicated, nor does it purport to represent the results of operations for future periods. The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited statement of revenues and certain operating expenses of the Sanibel Factory Stores (contained herein) for the year ended December 31, 1997, the Operating Partnership's unaudited financial statements and notes thereto as of March 31, 1998 and for the three months then ended (which are contained in the
