EXPLANATORY NOTE

This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 of Tanger Factory Outlet Centers, Inc. and Tanger Properties Limited Partnership. Unless the context indicates otherwise, the term, Company, refers to Tanger Factory Outlet Centers, Inc. and subsidiaries and the term, Operating Partnership, refers to Tanger Properties Limited Partnership and subsidiaries. The terms "we", "our" and "us" refer to the Company or the Company and the Operating Partnership together, as the text requires.

Tanger Factory Outlet Centers, Inc. and subsidiaries is one of the largest owners and operators of outlet centers in the United States. The Company is a fully-integrated, self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust ("REIT") which, through its controlling interest in the Operating Partnership, focuses exclusively on developing, acquiring, owning, operating and managing outlet shopping centers. The outlet centers and other assets are held by, and all of the operations are conducted by, the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries. Accordingly, the descriptions of the business, employees and properties of the Company are also descriptions of the business, employees and properties of the Operating Partnership.

The Company owns the majority of the units of partnership interest issued by the Operating Partnership through its two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Tanger GP Trust and Tanger LP Trust. Tanger GP Trust controls the Operating Partnership as its sole general partner. Tanger LP Trust holds a limited partnership interest. As of September 30, 2013, the Company, through its ownership of Tanger GP Trust and Tanger LP Trust, owned 94,478,785 units of the Operating Partnership and other limited partners collectively owned 5,145,012 units. Each unit held by the other limited partners is exchangeable for one common share of the Company, subject to certain limitations to preserve the Company's REIT status.

Management operates the Company and the Operating Partnership as one enterprise. The management of the Company consists of the same members as the management of the Operating Partnership. These individuals are officers of the Company and employees of the Operating Partnership. The individuals that comprise the Company's Board of Directors are also the same individuals that make up the Tanger GP Trust's Board of Trustees.

We believe combining the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of the Company and the Operating Partnership into this single report results in the following benefits:


•	enhancing investors' understanding of the Company and the Operating Partnership by enabling investors to view the business as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business;


•	eliminating duplicative disclosure and providing a more streamlined and readable presentation since a substantial portion of the disclosure applies to both the Company and the Operating Partnership; and


•	creating time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.

There are a few differences between the Company and the Operating Partnership, which are reflected in the disclosure in this report. We believe it is important to understand the differences between the Company and the Operating Partnership in the context of how the Company and the Operating Partnership operate as an interrelated consolidated company. As stated above, the Company is a REIT, whose only material asset is its ownership of partnership interests of the Operating Partnership through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Tanger GP Trust and Tanger LP Trust. As a result, the Company does not conduct business itself, other than issuing public equity from time to time and incurring expenses required to operate as a public company. However, all operating expenses incurred by the Company are reimbursed by the Operating Partnership, thus the only material item on the Company's income statement is its equity in the earnings of the Operating Partnership. Therefore, the assets and liabilities and the revenues and expenses of the Company and the Operating Partnership are the same on their respective financial statements, except for immaterial differences related to cash, other assets and accrued liabilities that arise from public company expenses paid by the Company. The Company itself does not hold any indebtedness but does guarantee certain debt of the Operating Partnership, as disclosed in this report. The Operating Partnership holds substantially all the assets of the Company and holds the ownership interests in the Company's consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures. The Operating Partnership conducts the operations of the business and is structured as a partnership with no publicly traded equity. Except for net proceeds from public equity issuances by the Company, which are required to be contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for partnership units, the Operating Partnership generates the capital required through its operations, its incurrence of indebtedness or through the issuance of partnership units.

Noncontrolling interests, shareholder's equity and partners' equity are the main areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of the Company and those of the Operating Partnership. The limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership held by limited partners other than Tanger LP Trust are accounted for as partners' equity in the Operating Partnership's financial statements and as noncontrolling interests in the Company's financial statements.

To help investors understand the significant differences between the Company and the Operating Partnership, this report presents the following separate sections for each of the Company and the Operating Partnership:


•	Consolidated financial statements;


•	The following notes to the consolidated financial statements:


•	Debt of the Company and the Operating Partnership;


•	Shareholders' Equity and Partners' Equity;


•	Earnings Per Share and Earnings Per Unit;


•	Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income of the Company and the Operating Partnership


•	Liquidity and Capital Resources in the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

This report also includes separate Item 4. Controls and Procedures sections and separate Exhibit 31 and 32 certifications for each of the Company and the Operating Partnership in order to establish that the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of each entity have made the requisite certifications and that the Company and Operating Partnership are compliant with Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and 18 U.S.C. §1350.

In order to highlight the differences between the Company and the Operating Partnership, the separate sections in this report for the Company and the Operating Partnership specifically refer to the Company and the Operating Partnership. In the sections that combine disclosure of the Company and the Operating Partnership, this report refers to actions or holdings as being actions or holdings of the Company. Although the Operating Partnership is generally the entity that enters into contracts and joint ventures and holds assets and debt, reference to the Company is appropriate because the business is one enterprise and the Company operates the business through the Operating Partnership.

As the 100% owner of Tanger GP Trust, the general partner with control of the Operating Partnership, the Company consolidates the Operating Partnership for financial reporting purposes. The separate discussions of the Company and the Operating Partnership in this report should be read in conjunction with each other to understand the results of the Company on a consolidated basis and how management operates the Company.

TANGER FACTORY OUTLET CENTERS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

TANGER PROPERTIES LIMITED PARTNERSHIP AND SUBSIDIAIRES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Business

Tanger Factory Outlet Centers, Inc. and subsidiaries is one of the largest owners and operators of outlet centers in the United States. We are a fully-integrated, self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust ("REIT") which, through our controlling interest in the Operating Partnership, focuses exclusively on developing, acquiring, owning, operating and managing outlet shopping centers. As of September 30, 2013, we owned and operated 37 outlet centers, with a total gross leasable area of approximately 11.5 million square feet. We also had partial ownership interests in 6 outlet centers totaling approximately 1.4 million square feet, including 3 outlet centers in Canada.

Our outlet centers and other assets are held by, and all of our operations are conducted by, Tanger Properties Limited Partnership and subsidiaries. Accordingly, the descriptions of our business, employees and properties are also descriptions of the business, employees and properties of the Operating Partnership. Unless the context indicates otherwise, the term, "Company", refers to Tanger Factory Outlet Centers, Inc. and subsidiaries and the term, "Operating Partnership", refers to Tanger Properties Limited Partnership and subsidiaries. The terms "we", "our" and "us" refer to the Company or the Company and the Operating Partnership together, as the text requires.

2. Basis of Presentation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of the Company's and the Operating Partnership's combined Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. The December 31, 2012 balance sheet data in this Form 10-Q was derived from audited financial statements. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the SEC's rules and regulations, although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements for the interim periods have been made. The results of interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year.

Investments in real estate joint ventures that we do not control are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. These investments are recorded initially at cost and subsequently adjusted for our equity in the venture's net income (loss), cash contributions, distributions and other adjustments required under the equity method of accounting. These investments are evaluated for impairment when necessary. Control is determined using an evaluation based on accounting standards related to the consolidation of voting interest entities and variable interest entities. For joint ventures that are determined to be variable interest entities, we consolidate the entity where we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary.

Noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership relate to the interests owned by limited partners other than Tanger LP Trust. In August 2013, the Operating Partnership's operating agreement was amended to, among other things, effect a four-for-one split by issuing to its existing holders four units of partnership interest for every one unit outstanding. After the effect of the split, each unit of partnership interest held by limited partners not wholly owned by the Company may be exchanged for one common share of the Company. Prior to the split, each unit held by the limited partners not wholly owned by the Company was exchangeable for four common shares of the Company. All references to the number of units outstanding and per unit amounts reflect the effect of the split for all periods presented.

The noncontrolling interests in other consolidated partnerships consist of outside equity interests in partnerships not wholly owned by the Company or the Operating Partnership that are consolidated with the financial results of the Company and Operating Partnership because the Operating Partnership exercises control over the entities that own the properties.

Certain amounts related to reimbursements of payroll related expenses from unconsolidated joint ventures in the statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 have been reclassified to the caption “expense reimbursements” from the caption “other income” to conform to the presentation of the consolidated statement of operations presented for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2013.

In addition, we have corrected the classification of certain amounts related to above and below market lease contracts in the consolidated balance sheet of the Company and Operating Partnership as of December 31, 2012. The amounts were previously reported net within the deferred lease costs and other intangibles, net line item. Below market lease values, net of accumulated amortization, in the amount of $6.4 million have been reclassified into the other liabilities line item in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2012. These revisions were not considered material to the previously issued financial statements.

3. Acquisition of Rental Property

In August 2013, Deer Park completed a refinancing of its existing debt and then immediately restructured the ownership whereby we acquired an additional ownership interest in the property from one of the partners which gave us a controlling interest. With the acquisition of this additional interest, we have consolidated the property for financial reporting purposes since the acquisition date, and remeasured our previously held interest that was accounted for as an equity method investment.

Prior to the acquisition, Deer Park successfully negotiated new financing of the debt obligations for the previous mortgage and mezzanine loans totaling approximately $238.5 million, with a $150.0 million mortgage loan. The new five year mortgage loan bears interest at a 150 basis point spread over LIBOR. The previous mortgage and mezzanine loans were in default, and as part of the refinancing, all default interest associated with the loans was waived. Utilizing funding from our existing unsecured lines of credit, we loaned approximately $89.5 million at a rate of LIBOR plus 3.25% and due on August 30, 2020 to the Deer Park joint venture representing the remaining amount necessary to repay the previous mortgage and mezzanine loans. As a result of the refinancing, Deer Park recorded a gain on early extinguishment of debt of approximately $13.8 million. Our share of this gain and the income from the settlement of a lawsuit with a third party was approximately $7.8 million and has been included in equity in earnings (losses) of unconsolidated joint ventures in the consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Subsequent to the debt extinguishment, we acquired an additional one-third interest in the Deer Park property from one of the partners, bringing our total ownership to a two-thirds interest, for total consideration of approximately $27.9 million, including $13.9 million in cash and 450,576 in common limited partnership units of Tanger Properties Limited Partnership, which are exchangeable for an equivalent number of the Company's common shares. This transaction was accounted for as a business combination resulting in the assets acquired and liabilities assumed being recorded at fair value as a result of the step acquisition. Prior to the acquisition, the joint venture was considered a variable interest entity and was accounted for under the equity method of accounting since we did not have the ability to direct the significant activities that affect the economic performance of the venture as a one-third owner. Upon acquiring an additional one-third interest, we determined, based on the acquisition agreement and other transaction documents which amended our rights with respect to the property and our obligations with respect to the additional one-third interest, that we control the property assets and direct the property’s significant activities and therefore, consolidate the property’s assets and liabilities.

The following table illustrates the fair value of the total consideration transferred and the amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date (in thousands):



Cash transferred	$	13,939
Common limited partnership units issued	13,981
Fair value of total consideration transferred to acquire one-third interest	27,920
Fair value of our previously held one-third interest	27,920
Fair value of one-third interest owned by the remaining partner	27,920
Fair value of net assets acquired	$	83,760

The aggregate purchase price of the property has been allocated as follows:



	Fair Value (in thousands)			Weighted-Average Amortization Period (in years)
Land	$	82,413
Buildings, improvements and fixtures	172,694
Deferred lease costs and other intangibles
Above market lease value	18,807			11.9
Below market lease value	(12,658		)	18.5
Lease in place value	28,846			7.6
Tenant relationships	27,594			19.0
Lease and legal costs	1,724			8.9
Total deferred lease costs and other intangibles, net	64,313
Other identifiable assets and liabilities assumed, net	2,265
Debt	(237,925		)
Total fair value of net assets acquired	$	83,760

There was no contingent consideration associated with this acquisition. We incurred approximately $772,000 in third-party acquisition costs which were expensed as incurred. As a part of the acquisition accounting, we recorded a gain of $26.0 million which represented the difference between the carrying book value and the fair value of our previously held equity method investment in Deer Park.

Although we do not anticipate any changes in the fair value measurements of the acquisitions, the measurements may be subject to change within 12 months of the business combination date if new facts or circumstances are brought to our attention that were previously unknown but existed as of the business combination date.

Following the acquisition, we and the remaining one-third owner of the Deer Park property restructured certain aspects of our ownership of the property, whereby we receive substantially all of the economics generated by the property and would have substantial control over the property's financial activities. We and the remaining one-third owner of the Deer Park property entered into a triple net lease agreement with a different wholly-owned subsidiary of ours which operates the property as lessee. Under the new structure, we will serve as property manager and control the management, leasing, marketing and other operations of the property. We and the remaining one-third property owner will receive, in proportion to our respective ownership interests, fixed annual lease payments of approximately $2.5 million, plus an amount necessary to pay the interest expense on debt related to the property. In addition, we and the remaining property owner have entered into an agreement whereby they may require us to acquire their ownership interest in the property on the second anniversary of the acquisition date for a price of $28.4 million, and we have the option to acquire their ownership interest on the fourth anniversary of the acquisition date at the same price. Due to the other partner's ability to require us to purchase their interest, we have recorded an obligation to redeem their interest at the redemption price as a deferred financing obligation in the other liabilities section of the balance sheet.

The results of operations from the property are included in the consolidated statements of operations beginning on the acquisition date. The aggregate revenues and net loss from the property from the acquisition date through September 30, 2013, were $3.2 million and $337,000, respectively. The following unaudited condensed pro forma financial information for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 is presented as if the acquisition had been consummated as of January 1, 2012, the beginning of the previous reporting period (in thousands, except per share data):

4. Investments in Unconsolidated Real Estate Joint Ventures

Our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 aggregated $136.9 million and $126.6 million, respectively. We have concluded based on the current facts and circumstances that the equity method of accounting should be used to account for each of the individual joint ventures below. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we were members of the following unconsolidated real estate joint ventures:

These investments are recorded initially at cost and subsequently adjusted for our equity in the venture's net income (loss), cash contributions, distributions and other adjustments required by the equity method of accounting as described below.

The following management, development, leasing and marketing fees were recognized from services provided to our unconsolidated joint ventures (in thousands):



	Three months ended					Nine months ended

Our investments in real estate joint ventures are reduced by the percentage of the profits earned for leasing and development services associated with our ownership interest in each joint venture. Our carrying value of investments in unconsolidated joint ventures differs from our share of the assets reported in the "Summary Balance Sheets - Unconsolidated Joint Ventures" shown below due to adjustments to the book basis, including intercompany profits on sales of services that are capitalized by the unconsolidated joint ventures. The differences in basis are amortized over the various useful lives of the related assets.

Charlotte, North Carolina

In May 2013, we formed a 50/50 joint venture for the development of an outlet center in the Charlotte, NC market. Subsequently, during the third quarter of 2013, the joint venture began construction on the outlet center which will be located eight miles southwest of uptown Charlotte at the interchange of I-485 and Steele Creek Road (NC Highway 160), the two major thoroughfares for the city. The approximately 400,000 square foot project will feature approximately 90 brand name and designer stores and is expected to open during the third quarter of 2014.

As of September 30, 2013, we and our partner had each contributed approximately $5.9 million in cash to the joint venture to fund development activities. We are providing development services to the project; and with our partner, are jointly providing leasing services. Our partner will provide property management and marketing services to the center once open.

Deer Park, Long Island, New York

As described in Note 3, we acquired an additional one-third ownership interest in Deer Park and have consolidated the property for financial reporting purposes since the acquisition date.

Deer Park Warehouse, Long Island, New York

In March 2013, in connection with a loan forbearance agreement signed in 2012 with the lender to the joint venture, the warehouse property was sold for approximately $1.2 million. The proceeds were used to satisfy the terms of the forbearance agreement. There was no impact to the net income of the joint venture as a result of this sale and the retirement of the associated mortgage debt.

Galveston/Houston, Texas

Tanger Outlets Texas City, which opened on October 19, 2012, was initially fully funded with equal equity contributions to the joint venture by us and our 50/50 joint venture partner. In July 2013, the joint venture closed on a mortgage loan with the ability to borrow up to $70.0 million with a rate of LIBOR + 1.50% and a maturity date of July 1, 2017, and with the option to extend the maturity for one additional year. The joint venture received total loan proceeds of $65.0 million and distributed the proceeds equally to the partners.

National Harbor, Washington, D.C. Metro Area

In May 2011, we announced the formation of a joint venture for the development of a Tanger Outlet Center at National Harbor in the Washington, D.C. Metro area. The planned Tanger Outlet Center is expected to open in time for the 2013 holiday shopping season with approximately 80 brand name and designer outlet stores in a center containing approximately 340,000 square feet. In November 2012, the joint venture broke ground and began development. Both parties have made equity contributions of $17.2 million to fund certain development costs. In May 2013, the joint venture closed on a construction loan with the ability to borrow up to $62.0 million and which carries an interest rate of LIBOR + 1.65%. As of September 30, 2013 the balance on the loan was $28.1 million. We provide property management, leasing and marketing services to the joint venture; and with our partner, are jointly providing site development and construction supervision services.

RioCan Canada

We have entered into a 50/50 co-ownership agreement with RioCan Real Estate Investment Trust ("RioCan Joint Venture") to develop and acquire outlet centers in Canada. Any projects developed or acquired will be branded as Tanger Outlet Centers. We have agreed to provide leasing and marketing services to the venture and RioCan will provide development and property management services.

In March of 2013 the RioCan Joint Venture acquired the land adjacent to the existing Cookstown Outlet Mall for $13.9 million. The land is being used for the joint venture's expansion of the Cookstown Outlet Mall which began in May 2013. The expansion, which is expected to open in the fourth quarter of 2014, will add approximately 153,000 square feet to the center and will add approximately 35 new brand name and designer outlet stores to the center.

Also, during the second quarter of 2013, the joint venture purchased land for $28.7 million and broke ground on Tanger Outlets Ottawa, the first ground up development of a Tanger Outlet Center in Canada. Located in suburban Kanata off the TransCanada Highway (Highway 417) at Palladium Drive, this center will contain approximately 303,000 square feet and will feature approximately 80 brand name and designer outlet stores. The center is currently expected to open in the fourth quarter of 2014.

Additionally, the RioCan Joint Venture partners have decided not to proceed with the proposed development at Mississauga’s Heartland Town Centre, west of Toronto, at the current time.

We evaluate our real estate joint ventures in accordance with the Consolidation guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC"). As a result of our qualitative assessment, we concluded that our Westgate joint venture is a Variable Interest Entity ("VIE") and all of our other joint ventures are not a VIE. Westgate is considered a VIE because the voting rights are disproportionate to the economic interests. Investments in real estate joint ventures in which we have a non-controlling ownership interest are accounted for using the equity method of accounting.

After making the determination that Westgate was a VIE, we performed an assessment to determine if we would be considered the primary beneficiary and thus be required to consolidate its balance sheet and results of operations. This assessment was based upon whether we had the following:


a.	The power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance


b.	The obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE

The operating, development, leasing, and management agreement of Westgate provides that the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the venture require unanimous consent. Accordingly, we determined that we do not have the power to direct the significant activities that affect the economic performance of the ventures and therefore, have applied the equity method of accounting for Westgate. Our equity method investment in Westgate as of September 30, 2013 was approximately $16.4 million. We are unable to estimate our maximum exposure to loss at this time because our guarantees are limited and based on the future operating performance of Westgate.

5. New Developments

Foxwoods, Connecticut

In September 2013, we broke ground at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Connecticut on Tanger Outlets at Foxwoods. We own a two-thirds controlling interest in the joint venture, which will be consolidated for financial reporting purposes. The outlet center will feature approximately 80 brand name and designer tenants. The approximately 314,000 square foot project will be suspended above ground to join the casino floors of the two major hotels located within the resort, which attract millions of visitors each year. Due to the relative complexity of the project, the construction period is expected to exceed our typical development timeline and we currently expect the property to open in the second quarter of 2015.

6. Debt of the Company

All of the Company's debt is held by the Operating Partnership and its consolidated subsidiaries.

The Company guarantees the Operating Partnership's obligations with respect to its unsecured lines of credit which have a total borrowing capacity of $520.0 million. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Operating Partnership had amounts outstanding on these lines totaling $259.0 million and $178.3 million, respectively.

The Company also guarantees the Operating Partnership's unsecured term loan in the amount of $250.0 million as well as its obligation with respect to the mortgage assumed in connection with the acquisition of the outlet center in Ocean City, Maryland in July 2011.

7. Debt of the Operating Partnership

(1)	The effective interest rates assigned during the purchase price allocation to these assumed mortgages and note payable during acquisitions in 2011 were as follows: Atlantic City 5.05%, Ocean City 4.68%, Hershey 3.40% and note payable 3.15%.


(2)	On August 30, 2013, as part of the acquisition of a controlling interest in Deer Park, we assumed an interest-only mortgage loan that has a 5 year term and carries an interest rate of LIBOR + 1.50%. In October 2013, we entered into interest rate swap agreements that fix the base LIBOR rate at an average of 1.30%, creating a contractual interest rate of 2.80%.


(3)	This unsecured term loan is pre-payable without penalty beginning in February of 2015.

(4)

At September 30, 2013, we had the option to extend the lines for one additional year to November 10, 2016. These lines required a facility fee payment of 0.175% annually based on the total amount of the commitment. The credit spread and facility fee can vary depending on our investment grade rating. In October 2013, we amended the lines of credit which extended the maturity to October 2017 with the ability to extend for one additional year, reduced the interest rate spread over LIBOR to 1.00% and reduced the facility fee to 0.15%. Loan origination costs associated with the amendments totaled approximately $1.5 million.

The unsecured lines of credit and senior unsecured notes include covenants that require the maintenance of certain ratios, including debt service coverage and leverage, and limit the payment of dividends such that dividends and distributions will not exceed funds from operations, as defined in the agreements, for the prior fiscal year on an annual basis or 95% of funds from operations on a cumulative basis. As of September 30, 2013 we were in compliance with all of our debt covenants.

8. Shareholders' Equity of the Company

Throughout the first nine months of 2013, limited partners of the Operating Partnership exchanged a total of 67,428 Operating Partnership units for an equal number of common shares of the Company. After the above described exchanges, the limited partners not wholly owned by the Company owned 5,145,012 Operating Partnership units which were exchangeable for an equal number of Company common shares.

9. Partners' Equity of the Operating Partnership

The ownership interests of the Operating Partnership as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, consisted of the following:



	September 30, 2013	December 31, 2012
Common units:
General partner	1,000,000	1,000,000
Limited partners	98,623,797	97,823,248
Total common units	99,623,797	98,823,248

During the third quarter of 2013, the Operating Partnership's operating agreement was amended to, among other things, effect a four-for-one split by issuing to its existing holders four units of partnership interest for every one unit outstanding. After the effect of the split, each unit of partnership interest held by limited partners not wholly owned by the Company may be exchanged for one common share of the Company. Prior to the split, each unit held by the limited partners not wholly owned by the Company was exchangeable for four common shares of the Company. All references to the number of units outstanding and per unit amounts reflect the effect of the split for all periods presented.

Also, in August 2013 as disclosed in Note 3, the Operating Partnership issued 450,576 common limited partnership units, as partial consideration for the acquisition of an additional one-third interest in Deer Park.

10. Equity Based Compensation of the Company

We have a shareholder approved share-based compensation plan, the Amended and Restated Incentive Award Plan of Tanger Factory Outlet Centers, Inc. and Tanger Properties Limited Partnership (the "Plan"), which covers our independent directors, officers and our employees. When shares are issued by the Company, the Operating Partnership issues corresponding units to the Company, based on the current exchange ratio as provided by the Operating Partnership agreement. Therefore, when the Company grants an equity based award, the Operating Partnership treats each award as having been granted by the Operating Partnership.

During February 2013, the Company's Board of Directors approved grants of 349,373 restricted common shares to the Company's independent directors and the Company's senior executive officers. The grant date fair value of the awards ranged from $28.84 to $36.05 per share. The independent directors' restricted common shares vest ratably over a three year period and the senior executive officers' restricted shares vest ratably over a five year period. For the grants to certain senior executive officers, the grants have a provision that requires the senior officers to hold the shares for a minimum of three years following the vesting date. Compensation expense related to the amortization of the deferred compensation is being recognized in accordance with the vesting schedule of the restricted shares.

In February 2013, the Compensation Committee of the Company approved the general terms of the Tanger Factory Outlet Centers, Inc. 2013 Outperformance Plan (the “2013 OPP"). The 2013 OPP provides for the grant of performance shares under the Amended and Restated Incentive Award Plan of Tanger Factory Outlet Centers, Inc.

The 2013 OPP is a long-term incentive compensation plan pursuant to which award recipients may earn up to an aggregate of 315,150 restricted common shares of the Company based on the Company’s absolute share price appreciation (or total shareholder return) and its share price appreciation relative to its peer group, over a three year measurement period from January 1, 2013 through December 31, 2015. The maximum number of shares will be earned under this plan if the Company both (a) achieves 35% or higher share price appreciation, inclusive of all dividends paid, over the three-year measurement period and (b) is in the 70th or greater percentile of its peer group for total shareholder return over the three-year measurement period. The maximum value of the awards that could be earned on December 31, 2015, if the Company achieves or exceeds the 35% share price appreciation and is in the 70th or greater percentile of its peer group for total shareholder return over the three-year measurement period, will equal approximately $13.25 million.

Any shares earned on December 31, 2015 are also subject to a time based vesting schedule, with 50% of the shares vesting on January 4, 2016 and the remaining 50% vesting on January 3, 2017, contingent upon continued employment with the Company through the vesting dates.

With respect to 70% of the performance shares (or 220,605 shares), 33.33% of this portion of the award (or 73,535 shares) will be earned if the Company’s aggregate share price appreciation, inclusive of all dividends paid during this period, equals 25% over the three-year measurement period, 66.67% of the award (or 147,070 shares) will be earned if the Company’s aggregate share price appreciation, inclusive of all dividends paid during this period equals 30%, and 100.00% of this portion of the award (or 220,605 shares) will be earned if the Company’s aggregate share price appreciation, inclusive of all dividends paid during this period, equals 35% or higher.

With respect to 30% of the performance shares (or 94,545 shares), 33.33% of this portion of the award (or 31,515 shares) will be earned if the Company's share price appreciation inclusive of all dividends paid is in the 50th percentile of its peer group over the three-year measurement period, 66.67% of this portion of the award (or 63,030 shares) will be earned if the Company's share price appreciation inclusive of all dividends paid is in the 60th percentile of its peer group during this period, and 100.00% of this portion of the award (or 94,545 shares) will be earned if the Company's share price appreciation inclusive of all dividends paid is in the 70th percentile of its peer group or greater during this period. The peer group will be based on the SNL Equity REIT index.

The performance shares will convert on a pro-rata basis by linear interpolation between share price appreciation thresholds, both for absolute share price appreciation and for relative share price appreciation amongst the Company's peer group. The share price targets will be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis with respect to any dividend payments made during the measurement period. The compensation expense is amortized using the graded vesting attribution method over the requisite service period. The fair value of the awards are calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation pricing model.

We recorded share-based compensation expense in general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statements of operations as follows (in thousands):



	Three months ended				Nine months ended
	September 30,				September 30,
	2013		2012		2013		2012
Restricted common shares ⁽¹⁾	$	2,141	$	1,886	$	6,162	$	6,600
Notional unit performance awards	778		495		2,069		1,475
Options	45		53		132		156
Total share-based compensation	$	2,964	$	2,434	$	8,363	$	8,231


(1)	For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, includes approximately $1.3 million of compensation expense related to 45,000 common shares that vested immediately upon grant under the terms of the amended and restated Employment Agreement (the "Employment Agreement") for Steven B. Tanger, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

The following table summarizes information related to unvested restricted common shares outstanding as of September 30, 2013:



Unvested Restricted Common Shares	Number of shares		Weighted-average grant date fair value
Unvested at December 31, 2012	1,047,993		$	24.39
Granted	349,373		31.01
Vested	(291,400	)	22.34
Forfeited	(12,000	)	25.61
Unvested at September 30, 2013	1,093,966		$	27.04

The total value of restricted common shares vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012 was $9.7 million and $8.0 million, respectively.

As of September 30, 2013, there was $30.7 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Plan. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.1 years.

11. Earnings Per Share of the Company

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators in computing the Company's earnings per share (in thousands, except per share amounts):



	Three months ended September 30,						Nine months ended September 30,

Effect of notional units	856			880			841			865
Effect of outstanding options and restricted common shares	76			93			91			78
Diluted weighted average common shares	94,300			93,647			94,210			92,302
Basic earnings per common share:
Net income	$	0.56		$	0.16		$	0.91		$	0.38
Diluted earnings per common share:
Net income	$	0.56		$	0.16		$	0.90		$	0.37

The notional units are considered contingently issuable common shares and are included in earnings per share if the effect is dilutive using the treasury stock method.

The computation of diluted earnings per share excludes options to purchase common shares when the exercise price is greater than the average market price of the common shares for the period. For the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 no options were excluded from the computation. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, 200 options were excluded from the computation and for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, 167,800 options were excluded from the computation. The assumed exchange of the partnership units held by the noncontrolling interest limited partners as of the beginning of the year, which would result in the elimination of earnings allocated to the noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership, would have no impact on earnings per share since the allocation of earnings to a partnership unit, as if exchanged, is equivalent to earnings allocated to a common share.

Certain of the Company's unvested restricted common share awards contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents. The impact of these unvested restricted common share awards on earnings per share has been calculated using the two-class method whereby earnings are allocated to the unvested restricted common share awards based on dividends declared and the unvested restricted common shares' participation rights in undistributed earnings. Unvested restricted common shares that do not contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents, are included in the diluted earnings per share computation if the effect is dilutive, using the treasury stock method.

12. Earnings Per Unit of the Operating Partnership

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators in computing the Operating Partnership's earnings per unit (in thousands, except per unit amounts). Note that all per unit amounts reflect a four-for-one split of the Operating Partnership's units.

Diluted earnings per common unit:
Net income	$	0.56		$	0.16		$	0.90		$	0.37

The notional units are considered contingently issuable common units and are included in earnings per unit if the effect is dilutive using the treasury stock method.

When the Company issues common shares upon exercise of options or issues restricted share awards, the Operating Partnership issues one corresponding unit to the Company for each Company common share issued.

The computation of diluted earnings per unit excludes options to purchase common units when the exercise price is greater than the average market price of the common units for the period. The market price of a common unit is considered to be equivalent to the market price of a Company common share. For the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 no units were excluded from the computation. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, 200 units were excluded from the computation and for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, 167,800 units, which would be issued upon the exercise of outstanding options, were excluded from the computation.

Certain of the Company's unvested restricted common share awards contain non-forfeitable rights to distributions or distribution equivalents. The impact of these unvested restricted share awards on earnings per unit has been calculated using the two-class method whereby earnings are allocated to the unvested restricted share awards based on distributions declared and the unvested restricted shares awards' participation rights in undistributed earnings. Unvested restricted common shares that do not contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents, are included in the diluted earnings per unit compilation if the effect is dilutive, using the treasury stock method.

15. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers are defined as follows:



Tier		Description
Level 1		Defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets

Level 2		Defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable

Level 3		Defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions

We had no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on either a recurring or non-recurring basis as of September 30, 2013 or December 31, 2012.

The estimated fair value of our debt, consisting of senior unsecured notes, unsecured term loans, secured mortgages and unsecured lines of credit, at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, was $1.4 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively, and its recorded value was $1.3 billion and $1.1 billion, respectively. Fair values were determined based on level 2 inputs using discounted cash flow analysis with an interest rate or credit spread similar to that of current market borrowing arrangements.

16. Non-Cash Activities

Non-cash financing activities related to the acquisition of a controlling interest in Deer Park, as discussed in Note 3, included the assumption of debt totaling $237.9 million, and the issuance of $14.0 million in Operating Partnership common limited partnership units as a portion of the consideration given. In addition, rental property and lease related intangible assets increased by $27.9 million related to the fair value of the one-third interest owned by Deer Park's other remaining partner and $26.0 million related to the fair value of our previously held interest in excess of carrying amount.

We purchase capital equipment and incur costs relating to construction of facilities, including tenant finishing allowances. Expenditures included in construction trade payables as of September 30, 2013 and 2012 amounted to $5.3 million and $10.5 million, respectively.

17. Subsequent Events

On October 24, 2013, we closed on amendments to our unsecured lines of credit, extending the maturity, reducing the overall borrowing costs, and amending certain debt covenants. The maturity of these facilities was extended from November 10, 2015 to October 24, 2017 with the ability to further extend maturity for an additional year at our option. The annual commitment fee, which is payable on the full $520.0 million in loan commitments, was reduced from 0.175% to 0.15%, and the interest rate spread over LIBOR was reduced from 1.10% to 1.00%. Loan origination costs associated with the amendments totaled approximately $1.5 million.

On October 28, 2013, we entered into interest rate swap agreements to reduce our floating rate debt exposure by locking the interest rate on the $150.0 million Deer Park mortgage. The loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.50% and matures in August 2018. The interest rate swap agreements fix the base LIBOR rate at an average of 1.30%, creating a contractual interest rate for the loan of 2.80% through August 2018.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison of the three months ended September 30, 2013 to the three months ended September 30, 2012

NET INCOME

Net income increased $40.0 million in the 2013 period to $56.2 million as compared to $16.2 million for the 2012 period. The increase in net income was attributable to an increase in base rentals from internal growth within our existing portfolio, the acquisition of a controlling interest in the property in Deer Park, NY on August 30, 2013, which caused us to consolidate the property for financial reporting purposes, and the addition of several expansions within our portfolio at existing properties since October 1, 2012. In addition, our equity in earnings from unconsolidated joint ventures increased $9.6 million, primarily due to a gain on early extinguishment of debt and the settlement of a lawsuit at Deer Park prior to our acquiring a controlling interest. In association with the acquisition, we recorded a gain of $26.0 million representing the difference between the recorded value and the fair market value of our original equity interest.

BASE RENTALS

Base rentals increased $4.6 million, or 8%, in the 2013 period compared to the 2012 period. The following table sets forth the changes in various components of base rentals (in thousands):



	2013			2012		Change
Existing property base rentals	$	62,342		$	59,467	$	2,875
Base rentals from acquired properties	2,044			—		2,044
Termination fees	36			22		14
Amortization of above and below market rent adjustments, net	(121		)	173		(294		)
	$	64,301		$	59,662	$	4,639

Base rental income generated from existing properties in our portfolio increased due to increases in rental rates on lease renewals and incremental rents from re-tenanting vacant spaces.

Amortization of above and below market lease values decreased due to leases from prior year acquisitions becoming fully amortized during the period from October 1, 2012 to September 30, 2013. In addition, the purchase price allocation of the Deer Park acquisition resulted in an above market asset of approximately $6.1 million.

At September 30, 2013, the net asset representing the amount of unrecognized, combined above and below market lease values, recorded as a part of the purchase price of acquired properties, totaled approximately $11.3 million. If a tenant terminates its lease prior to the contractual termination of the lease and no rental payments are being made on the lease, any unamortized balance of the related above or below market lease value will be written off and could materially impact our net income positively or negatively.

PERCENTAGE RENTALS

Percentage rentals, which represent revenues based on a percentage of tenants' sales volume above predetermined levels, decreased $96,000, or 3%, from the 2012 period to the 2013 period. The decrease in percentage rentals is directly related to a slow down in the increase in tenant sales productivity in the 2013 period as compared to the 2012 period. Reported tenant comparable sales for our consolidated properties for the rolling twelve months ended September 30, 2013 increased approximately 1% to $384 per square foot. Reported tenant comparable sales is defined as the weighted average sales per square foot reported in space open for the full duration of each comparison period. The following table sets forth the changes in various components of percentage rentals (in thousands):



	2013		2012		Change
Existing property percentage rentals	$	3,055	$	3,180	$	(125	)
Percentage rentals from acquired properties	29		—		29
	$	3,084	$	3,180	$	(96	)

EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENTS

Expense reimbursements increased $2.5 million, or 10%, in the 2013 period compared to the 2012 period. The following table sets forth the changes in various components of expense reimbursements (in thousands):



	2013		2012		Change
Existing property expense reimbursements	$	26,257	$	24,908	$	1,349
Property expense reimbursements from acquired properties	1,157		—		1,157
	$	27,414	$	24,908	$	2,506

Expense reimbursements, which represent the contractual recovery from tenants of certain common area maintenance, insurance, property tax, promotional, advertising and management expenses, generally fluctuate consistently with the reimbursable property operating expenses to which they relate.

OTHER INCOME

Other income increased $371,000, or 14%, in the 2013 period as compared to the 2012 period. The majority of the increase is due to the incremental fees earned from the unconsolidated joint ventures that were added to the portfolio during the fourth quarter of 2012. The following table sets forth the changes in various components of other income (in thousands):



	2013		2012		Change
Existing property other income	$	3,045	$	2,733	$	312
Other income from acquired properties	59		—		59
	$	3,104	$	2,733	$	371

PROPERTY OPERATING EXPENSES

Property operating expenses increased $2.2 million, or 8%, in the 2013 period as compared to the 2012 period. The increase is due primarily to the addition of the Deer Park property to the consolidated portfolio. The following table sets forth the changes in various components of property operating expenses (in thousands):



	2013		2012		Change
Existing property operating expenses	$	28,027	$	27,614	$	413
Property operating expenses from acquired properties	1,836		—		1,836
	$	29,863	$	27,614	$	2,249

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

General and administrative expenses increased $736,000, or 8%, in the 2013 period compared to the 2012 period. This increase was mainly due to additional share-based compensation expense related to the 2013 grants of restricted shares to directors and certain officers of the Company and the grant of performance shares to executive officers under a new long term incentive plan. Also, the 2013 period included higher payroll related expenses on a comparative basis to the 2012 period due to the addition of new employees since October 1, 2012.

ACQUISITION COSTS

The 2013 period includes costs related to the acquisition of the additional ownership interest in the Deer Park property during the period as well as costs from other potential acquisitions of operating properties.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION

Depreciation and amortization decreased $586,000, or 2%, in the 2013 period compared to the 2012 period as certain construction and development related assets, as well as lease related intangibles recorded as part of the acquisition price of acquired properties, which are amortized over shorter lives, became fully depreciated during the reporting periods. The following table sets forth the changes in various components of depreciation and amortization (in thousands):



	2013		2012		Change
Existing property depreciation and amortization expenses	$	22,351	$	24,809	$	(2,458	)
Depreciation and amortization expenses from acquired properties	1,872		—		1,872
	$	24,223	$	24,809	$	(586	)

GAIN ON PREVIOUSLY HELD INTEREST IN ACQUIRED JOINT VENTURE

In August 2013, we acquired an additional one-third ownership interest in the Deer Park property, bringing our total ownership to a two-thirds interest. With the acquisition of a controlling interest, we have consolidated the property for financial reporting purposes since the acquisition date. The acquisition resulted in a gain of approximately $26.0 million, representing the difference between the recorded value and the fair market value of our original equity interest.

EQUITY IN EARNINGS (LOSSES) OF UNCONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURES

Equity in earnings (losses) of unconsolidated joint ventures increased approximately $9.6 million in the 2013 period compared to the 2012 period. The primary reasons for the increase were related to the transactions at the Deer Park property prior to our acquisition of an additional one-third interest in the property and its subsequent consolidation for financial reporting purposes. As a part of the refinance of the debt at Deer Park, a gain on early extinguishment of debt of $13.8 million was recorded. In addition, prior to the acquisition, the partnership settled a lawsuit with a third party which resulted in income to Deer Park of approximately $9.5 million after expenses. Our one-third share of these transactions, recorded through equity in earnings prior to the acquisition, was approximately $7.8 million. Incremental earnings from the addition of four centers held in unconsolidated joint ventures during the fourth quarter of 2012 accounted for the remainder of the increase.

Comparison of the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to the nine months ended September 30, 2012

NET INCOME

Net income increased $52.7 million in the 2013 period to $90.2 million as compared to $37.5 million for the 2012 period. The increase in net income was attributable to an increase in base rentals of $9.1 million from internal growth within our existing portfolio, the acquisition of a controlling interest in the property in Deer Park, NY on August 30, 2013, which caused us to consolidate the property for financial reporting purposes, and the addition of several expansions within our portfolio at existing properties since October 1, 2012. In addition, our equity in earnings from unconsolidated joint ventures increased $13.0 million, due to a gain on early extinguishment of debt and the settlement of a lawsuit at Deer Park prior to our acquiring a controlling interest, as well as incremental earnings from the addition of four centers held in unconsolidated joint ventures to the portfolio during the fourth quarter of 2012. In association with the acquisition, we recorded a gain of $26.0 million representing the difference between the recorded value and the fair market value of our original equity interest. Finally our depreciation and amortization decreased $6.6 million due to certain construction and development related assets and lease related intangibles recorded as part of the acquisition price of acquired properties, which are amortized over shorter lives, became fully depreciated during the reporting periods.

BASE RENTALS

Base rentals increased $9.1 million, or 5%, in the 2013 period compared to the 2012 period. The following table sets forth the changes in various components of base rentals (in thousands):



	2013			2012		Change
Existing property base rentals	$	182,409		$	173,754	$	8,655
Base rentals from acquired properties	2,044			—		2,044
Termination fees	186			880		(694		)
Amortization of above and below market rent adjustments, net	(48		)	830		(878		)
	$	184,591		$	175,464	$	9,127

Base rental income generated from existing properties in our portfolio increased due to increases in rental rates on lease renewals and incremental rents from re-tenanting vacant spaces.

Termination fees decreased due to the 2012 period containing a tenant that exited the outlet industry and terminated their leases prior to the end of their contractual obligation.

PERCENTAGE RENTALS

Percentage rentals, which represent revenues based on a percentage of tenants' sales volume above predetermined levels, the breakpoint, increased $414,000, or 6%, from the 2012 period to the 2013 period. The increase in percentage rentals is directly related to higher tenant sales productivity, the majority of which occurred during the first six months of 2013. Reported tenant comparable sales for our consolidated properties for the rolling twelve months ended September 30, 2013 increased 1% to $384 per square foot. Reported tenant comparable sales is defined as the weighted average sales per square foot reported in space open for the full duration of each comparison period. The following table sets forth the changes in various components of percentage rentals (in thousands):



	2013		2012		Change
Existing property percentage rentals	$	6,927	$	6,542	$	385

OTHER INCOME

Other income increased $1.2 million, or 20%, in the 2013 period as compared to the 2012 period. The majority of the increase is due to the incremental fees earned from the unconsolidated joint ventures that were added to the portfolio during the fourth quarter of 2012. The following table sets forth the changes in various components of other income (in thousands):



	2013		2012		Change

	$	7,516	$	6,278	$	1,238

PROPERTY OPERATING EXPENSES

Property operating expenses increased $5.1 million, or 6%, in the 2013 period as compared to the 2012 period. Existing property operating expenses increased in the 2013 period compared to the 2012 period as a result of higher common area maintenance costs for various projects and an increase in snow removal expenditures. The following table sets forth the changes in various components of property operating expenses (in thousands):



	2013		2012		Change
Existing property operating expenses	$	84,983	$	81,679	$	3,304
Property operating expenses from acquired properties	1,836		—		1,836
	$	86,819	$	81,679	$	5,140

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

General and administrative expenses increased $1.5 million, or 5%, in the 2013 period compared to the 2012 period. This increase was mainly due to additional share-based compensation expense related to the 2013 grant of restricted shares to directors and certain officers of the Company and the grant of performance shares under a new long term incentive plan. Also, the 2013 period included higher payroll related expenses on a comparative basis to the 2012 period due to the addition of new employees since October 1, 2012.

ACQUISITION COSTS

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION

Depreciation and amortization decreased $6.6 million, or 9%, in the 2013 period compared to the 2012 period as certain construction and development related assets and lease related intangibles recorded as part of the acquisition price of acquired properties, which are amortized over shorter lives, became fully depreciated during the reporting periods. The following table sets forth the changes in various components of depreciation and amortization (in thousands):



	2013		2012		Change
Existing property depreciation and amortization expenses	$	66,811	$	75,247	$	(8,436	)
Depreciation and amortization expenses from acquired properties	1,872		—		1,872
	$	68,683	$	75,247	$	(6,564	)

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense increased approximately $764,000, or 2%, in the 2013 period compared to the 2012 period. The primary reason for the increase in interest expense is the increase in the average amount of debt outstanding from approximately $1.0 billion for the 2012 period to approximately $1.2 billion for the 2013 period. The higher debt levels outstanding were a result of fundings for additional investments in our unconsolidated joint ventures in both Canada and the United States.

GAIN ON PREVIOUSLY HELD INTEREST IN ACQUIRED JOINT VENTURE

In August 2013, we acquired an additional one-third ownership interest in the Deer Park property, bringing our total ownership to a two-thirds interest With the acquisition of a controlling interest, we have consolidated the property for financial reporting purposes since the acquisition date. The acquisition resulted in a gain of approximately $26.0 million, representing the difference between the recorded value and the fair market value of our original equity interest.

EQUITY IN EARNINGS (LOSSES) OF UNCONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURES

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures increased approximately $13.0 million in the 2013 period compared to the 2012 period. The primary reasons for the increase were the related to transactions at the Deer Park property prior to our acquisition of an additional one-third interest in the property and its subsequent consolidation for financial reporting purposes. As a part of the refinance of the debt at Deer Park, a gain on early extinguishment of debt of $13.8 million was recorded. In addition a lawsuit was settled which resulted in income to the Deer Park of approximately $9.5 million after expenses. Our one-third share of these transactions, recorded through equity in earnings prior to the acquisition, was approximately $7.8 million. Incremental earnings from the addition of four centers held in unconsolidated joint ventures to the portfolio during the fourth quarter of 2012 accounted for the remainder of the increase.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES OF THE COMPANY

In this "Liquidity and Capital Resources of the Company" section, the term, the Company, refers only to Tanger Factory Outlet Centers, Inc. on an unconsolidated basis, excluding the Operating Partnership.

The Company's business is operated primarily through the Operating Partnership. The Company issues public equity from time to time, but does not otherwise generate any capital itself or conduct any business itself, other than incurring certain expenses in operating as a public company, which are fully reimbursed by the Operating Partnership. The Company does not hold any indebtedness, and its only material asset is its ownership of partnership interests of the Operating Partnership.

The Company's principal funding requirement is the payment of dividends on its common shares. The Company's principal source of funding for its dividend payments is distributions it receives from the Operating Partnership.

Through its ownership of the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Company has the full, exclusive and complete responsibility for the Operating Partnership's day-to-day management and control. The Company causes the Operating Partnership to distribute all, or such portion as the Company may in its discretion determine, of its available cash in the manner provided in the Operating Partnership's partnership agreement. The Company receives proceeds from equity issuances from time to time, but is required by the Operating Partnership's partnership agreement to contribute the proceeds from its equity issuances to the Operating Partnership in exchange for partnership units of the Operating Partnership.

The Company is a well-known seasoned issuer with a shelf registration that expires in June 2015 that allows the Company to register unspecified various classes of equity securities and the Operating Partnership to register unspecified, various classes of debt securities. As circumstances warrant, the Company may issue equity from time to time on an opportunistic basis, dependent upon market conditions and available pricing. The Operating Partnership may use the proceeds to repay debt, including borrowings under its lines of credit, develop new or existing properties, to make acquisitions of properties or portfolios of properties, to invest in existing or newly created joint ventures or for general corporate purposes.

The liquidity of the Company is dependent on the Operating Partnership's ability to make sufficient distributions to the Company. The Company also guarantees some of the Operating Partnership's debt. If the Operating Partnership fails to fulfill its debt requirements, which trigger the Company's guarantee obligations, then the Company may be required to fulfill its cash payment commitments under such guarantees. However, the Company's only material asset is its investment in the Operating Partnership.

The Company believes the Operating Partnership's sources of working capital, specifically its cash flow from operations, and borrowings available under its unsecured lines of credit, are adequate for it to make its distribution payments to the Company and, in turn, for the Company to make its dividend payments to its shareholders. However, there can be no assurance that the Operating Partnership's sources of capital will continue to be available at all or in amounts sufficient to meet its needs, including its ability to make distribution payments to the Company. The unavailability of capital could adversely affect the Operating Partnership's ability to pay its distributions to the Company which will, in turn, adversely affect the Company's ability to pay cash dividends to its shareholders.

For the Company to maintain its qualification as a REIT, it must pay dividends to its shareholders aggregating annually at least 90% of its taxable income. While historically the Company has satisfied this distribution requirement by making cash distributions to its shareholders, it may choose to satisfy this requirement by making distributions of cash or other property, including, in limited circumstances, the Company's own shares.

As a result of this distribution requirement, the Operating Partnership cannot rely on retained earnings to fund its on-going operations to the same extent that other companies whose parent companies are not real estate investment trusts can. The Company may need to continue to raise capital in the equity markets to fund the Operating Partnership's working capital needs, as well as potential developments of new or existing properties, acquisitions or investments in existing or newly created joint ventures.

As the sole owner of the general partner with control of the Operating Partnership, the Company consolidates the Operating Partnership for financial reporting purposes. The Company does not have significant assets other than its investment in the Operating Partnership. Therefore, the assets and liabilities and the revenues and expenses of the Company and the Operating Partnership are the same on their respective financial statements, except for immaterial differences related to cash, other assets and accrued liabilities that arise from public company expenses paid by the Company. However, all debt is held directly or indirectly at the Operating Partnership level, and the Company has guaranteed some of the Operating Partnership's unsecured debt as discussed below. Because the Company consolidates the Operating Partnership, the section entitled "Liquidity and Capital Resources of the Operating Partnership" should be read in conjunction with this section to understand the liquidity and capital resources of the Company on a consolidated basis and how the Company is operated as a whole.

On October 10, 2013, the Company's Board of Directors declared a $.225 cash dividend per common share payable on November 15, 2013 to each shareholder of record on October 30, 2013, and caused a $.225 per Operating Partnership unit cash distribution to the Operating Partnership's unitholders.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES OF THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP

General Overview

In this "Liquidity and Capital Resources of the Operating Partnership" section, the terms "we", "our" and "us" refer to the Operating Partnership or the Operating Partnership and the Company together, as the text requires.

Property rental income represents our primary source to pay property operating expenses, debt service, capital expenditures and distributions, excluding non-recurring capital expenditures and acquisitions. To the extent that our cash flow from operating activities is insufficient to cover such non-recurring capital expenditures and acquisitions, we finance such activities from borrowings under our unsecured lines of credit or from the proceeds from the Operating Partnership's debt offerings and the Company's equity offerings.

Our strategy is to achieve a strong and flexible financial position by seeking to: (1) maintain a conservative leverage position relative to our portfolio when pursuing new development, expansion and acquisition opportunities, (2) extend and sequence debt maturities, (3) manage our interest rate risk through a proper mix of fixed and variable rate debt, (4) maintain access to liquidity by using our unsecured lines of credit in a conservative manner and (5) preserve internally generated sources of capital by strategically divesting of underperforming assets and maintaining a conservative distribution payout ratio. We manage our capital structure to reflect a long term investment approach and utilize multiple sources of capital to meet our requirements.

The following table sets forth our changes in cash flows (in thousands):



	Nine months ended September 30,
	2013			2012			Change
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	137,085		$	129,184		$	7,901
Net cash used in investing activities	(157,480		)	(92,061		)	(65,419		)
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities	20,558			(35,485		)	56,043
Net increase in cash and cash equivalents	$	163		$	1,638		$	(1,475	)

Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities during 2013 was positively impacted by an increase in operating income. Also, due to the addition of four centers held in unconsolidated joint ventures since the third quarter of 2012, cash received from unconsolidated joint ventures that represented a return on investment increased by $3.8 million.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities was higher in the 2013 period compared to the 2012 period due primarily due to a loan of approximately $89.5 million to the Deer Park joint venture representing the remaining amount necessary to repay the previous mortgage and mezzanine loans. This impact was partially offset by additional cash received from unconsolidated joint ventures that represented a return of investment, the most significant of which related to the Galveston/Houston joint venture. This venture closed on a mortgage loan with the ability to borrow up to $70.0 million with a rate of LIBOR + 1.50% and a maturity date of July 1, 2017, and with the option to extend the maturity for one additional year. The joint venture received total loan proceeds of $65.0 million and distributed the proceeds equally to the partners.

Financing Activities

The change in cash used in financing activities of $56.0 million was primarily the result of significant borrowings under our lines of credit to fund development at our unconsolidated joint ventures in the United States and Canada and the loan to Deer Park as mentioned above.

Capital Expenditures

The following table details our capital expenditures (in thousands):



	Nine months ended September 30,
	2013		2012		Change
Capital expenditures analysis:
New center developments	$	13,690	$	3,783	$	9,907
Center redevelopment	—		249		(249		)
Major center renovations	3,840		7,639		(3,799		)
Second generation tenant allowances	11,762		10,013		1,749
Other capital expenditures	9,474		6,342		3,132
	38,766		28,026		10,740
Conversion from accrual to cash basis	1,812		3,131		(1,319		)
Additions to rental property-cash basis	$	40,578	$	31,157	$	9,421


•	New center development expenditures, which includes first generation tenant allowances, included expansions in Gonzales, Louisiana and Sevierville, Tennessee and the initial development costs associated with the construction of our center at the Foxwoods casino in Connecticut in the 2013 period. The 2012 period included an expansion in Locust Grove, Georgia.


•	Major center renovations in the 2013 period included renovation activities at our Gonzales, LA center. The 2012 period included on-going renovation efforts at the centers acquired during the second and third quarters of 2011.


•	Other capital expenditures in 2013 increased over the 2012 period due to a higher number of other capital expenditure projects within our existing portfolio.

Current Developments

We intend to continue to grow our portfolio by developing, expanding or acquiring additional outlet centers. In the section below, we describe the new developments that are either currently planned, underway or recently completed. However, you should note that any developments or expansions that we, or a joint venture that we are involved in, have planned or anticipated may not be started or completed as scheduled, or may not result in accretive net income or funds from operations ("FFO"). See the section "Supplemental Earnings Measures" - "Funds From Operations" in the Management's Discussion and Analysis section for further discussion of FFO. In addition, we regularly evaluate acquisition or disposition proposals and engage from time to time in negotiations for acquisitions or dispositions of properties. We may also enter into letters of intent for the purchase or sale of properties. Any prospective acquisition or disposition that is being evaluated or which is subject to a letter of intent may not be consummated, or if consummated, may not result in an increase in liquidity, net income or FFO.

POTENTIAL FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS

As of the date of this filing, we are in the initial study period for potential new developments, including sites located in Scottsdale, Arizona; Columbus, Ohio; and Clarksburg, Maryland. We may also use joint venture arrangements to develop other potential sites. There can be no assurance, however, that these potential future developments will ultimately be developed.

In the case of projects to be wholly-owned by us, we expect to fund these projects from amounts available under our unsecured lines of credit, but may also fund them with capital from additional public debt and equity offerings. For projects to be developed through joint venture arrangements, we typically use collateralized construction loans to fund a portion of the project, with our share of the equity requirements funded from sources previously described.

CONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURES

Foxwoods, Connecticut

In September 2013, we broke ground at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Connecticut on Tanger Outlets at Foxwoods. We own a two-thirds controlling interest in the project, which will be consolidated for financial reporting purposes. The outlet center will feature approximately 80 brand name and designer tenants, including American Eagle

Outfitters, Ann Taylor, Banana Republic, Calvin Klein, Coach, Fossil, Gap, LOFT, Michael Kors, Nike, Skechers, Steve Madden, Tommy Hilfiger and more. The approximately 314,000 square foot project will be suspended above ground to join the casino floors of the two major hotels located within the resort, which attract millions of visitors each year. Due to the relative complexity of the project, the construction period is expected to exceed our typical development timeline and we currently expect the property to open in the second quarter of 2015.

UNCONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURES

We have formed joint venture arrangements to develop outlet centers that are currently in various stages of development in several markets. See "Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements" for a discussion of unconsolidated joint venture development activities.

Financing Arrangements

At September 30, 2013, 81% of our outstanding debt consisted of unsecured borrowings and 80% of the gross book value of our real estate portfolio was unencumbered. We maintain unsecured lines of credit that provide for borrowings of up to $520.0 million. In October 2013, we modified our unsecured lines of credit which extended the expiration date to October 24, 2017 with an option for an additional one year extension and reduced the interest rate to LIBOR + 1.00%.

As part of the consolidation of the Deer Park property, we assumed debt totaling $237.9 million, including an existing mortgage totaling $150.0 million with a five year term bearing interest at LIBOR + 1.50%. In October 2013, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements that fix the base LIBOR rate on the $150.0 million Deer Park mortgage at an average of 1.30%, creating an effective interest rate of 2.80%.

We intend to retain the ability to raise additional capital, including public debt or equity, to pursue attractive investment opportunities that may arise and to otherwise act in a manner that we believe to be in the best interests of our shareholders and unitholders. Based on market conditions, we may choose to complete additional financing transactions by year end with the objectives of further reducing our floating rate debt exposure, extending the average term of our debt outstanding, and increasing our unused lines of credit capacity.

The Company is a well-known seasoned issuer with a joint shelf registration with the Operating Partnership, expiring in June 2015, that allows us to register unspecified amounts of different classes of securities on Form S-3. To generate capital to reinvest into other attractive investment opportunities, we may also consider the use of additional operational and developmental joint ventures, the sale or lease of outparcels on our existing properties and the sale of certain properties that do not meet our long-term investment criteria. Based on cash provided by operations, existing lines of credit, ongoing relationships with certain financial institutions and our ability to sell debt or issue equity subject to market conditions, we believe that we have access to the necessary financing to fund the planned capital expenditures through the end of 2013 and into 2014.

We anticipate that adequate cash will be available to fund our operating and administrative expenses, regular debt service obligations, and the payment of dividends in accordance with REIT requirements in both the short and long-term. Although we receive most of our rental payments on a monthly basis, distributions to shareholders and unitholders are made quarterly and interest payments on the senior, unsecured notes are made semi-annually. Amounts accumulated for such payments will be used in the interim to reduce the outstanding borrowings under our existing unsecured lines of credit or invested in short-term money market or other suitable instruments.

We believe our current balance sheet position is financially sound; however, due to the uncertainty and unpredictability of the capital and credit markets, we can give no assurance that affordable access to capital will exist between now and 2015 when our next significant debt maturities occur.

The Operating Partnership's debt agreements require the maintenance of certain ratios, including debt service coverage and leverage, and limit the payment of dividends such that dividends and distributions will not exceed funds from operations, as defined in the agreements, for the prior fiscal year on an annual basis or 95% on a cumulative basis. We have historically been and currently are in compliance with all of our debt covenants. We expect to remain in compliance with all of our existing debt covenants; however, should circumstances arise that would cause us to be in default, the various lenders would have the ability to accelerate the maturity on our outstanding debt.

The Operating Partnership's senior unsecured notes contain covenants and restrictions requiring us to meet certain financial ratios and reporting requirements. Key financial covenants and their covenant levels include:



Senior unsecured notes financial covenants	Required	Actual
Total consolidated debt to adjusted total assets	<60%	48	%
Total secured debt to adjusted total assets	<40%	9	%
Total unencumbered assets to unsecured debt	>135%	187	%

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

The following table details certain information as of September 30, 2013 about various unconsolidated real estate joint ventures in which we have an ownership interest:

Total					$	136.9

Each of the above ventures contain make whole provisions in the event that demands are made on any existing guarantees. In addition, the joint venture agreements contain other provisions where a venture partner can force the other partners to either buy or sell their investment in the joint venture. Should this occur, we may be required to sell the property to the venture partner or incur a significant cash outflow in order to maintain ownership of these outlet centers.

Charlotte, North Carolina

Deer Park, Long Island, New York

As described in Note 3, we acquired an additional one-third ownership interest in Deer Park and have consolidated the property for financial reporting purposes since the acquisition date.

Deer Park Warehouse, Long Island, New York

Galveston/Houston, Texas

Tanger Outlets Texas City, which opened October 19, 2012, was initially fully funded with equity contributed to the joint venture by Tanger and its 50/50 partner. In July 2013, the joint venture closed on a $70.0 million mortgage loan with a rate of LIBOR + 1.50% and a maturity date of July 1, 2017, with the option to extend the maturity for one additional year. The joint venture received total loan proceeds of $65.0 million and distributed the proceeds equally to the partners. We used our share of the proceeds to reduce amounts outstanding under our unsecured lines of credit.

National Harbor, Washington, D.C. Metro Area

In May 2011, we announced the formation of a joint venture for the development of a Tanger Outlet Center at National Harbor in the Washington, D.C. Metro area. The planned Tanger Outlet Center is expected to open in November 2013 in time for the 2013 holiday shopping season and contain approximately 80 brand name and designer outlet stores in a center containing approximately 340,000 square feet. In November 2012, the joint venture broke ground and began development. Both parties have made equity contributions of $17.2 million to fund certain development costs. In May 2013, the joint venture closed on a construction loan with the ability to borrow up to $62.0 million and which carries an interest rate of LIBOR + 1.65%. As of September 30, 2013 the balance on the loan was $28.1 million. We provide property management, leasing and marketing services to the joint venture; and with our partner, are jointly providing site development and construction supervision services.

RioCan Canada

Additionally, the RioCan Joint Venture partners have decided not to proceed with the proposed development at Mississauga’s Heartland Town Centre, west of Toronto, at the current time.

The following table details the debt maturities of the unconsolidated joint ventures as of September 30, 2013 (in millions):



Joint Venture	Total Joint Venture Debt (in millions)		Maturity Date	Interest Rate
Galveston/Houston	$	65.0	July 2017	LIBOR + 1.50%
National Harbor	$	28.1	May 2016	LIBOR + 1.65%
RioCan Canada	$	18.8	June 2015 and May 2020	5.10% to 5.75%
Westgate	$	43.0	June 2015	LIBOR + 1.75%
Wisconsin Dells	$	24.3	December 2022	LIBOR + 2.25%

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Refer to our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K of the Company and the Operating Partnership for a discussion of our critical accounting policies which include principles of consolidation, acquisition of real estate, cost capitalization, impairment of long-lived assets and revenue recognition. There have been no material changes to these policies in 2013.

SUPPLEMENTAL EARNINGS MEASURES

Funds From Operations

Funds From Operations ("FFO") represents income before extraordinary items and gains (losses) on sale or disposal of depreciable operating properties, plus depreciation and amortization uniquely significant to real estate, impairment losses on depreciable real estate of consolidated real estate and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures, including depreciation and amortization, and impairment losses on investments in unconsolidated joint ventures driven by a measurable decrease in the fair value of depreciable real estate held by the unconsolidated joint ventures.

FFO is intended to exclude historical cost depreciation of real estate as required by United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") which assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes ratably over time. Historically, however, real estate values have risen or fallen with market conditions. Because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization unique to real estate, gains and losses from property dispositions and extraordinary items, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities and interest costs, providing perspective not immediately apparent from net income.

We present FFO because we consider it an important supplemental measure of our operating performance and believe it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, many of which present FFO when reporting their results. FFO is widely used by us and others in our industry to evaluate and price potential acquisition candidates. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc., of which we are a member, has encouraged its member companies to report their FFO as a supplemental, industry-wide standard measure of REIT operating performance. In addition, a percentage of bonus compensation to certain members of management is based on our FFO performance.

FFO has significant limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:


•	FFO does not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;


•	FFO does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;


•	Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and FFO does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;


•	FFO, which includes discontinued operations, may not be indicative of our ongoing operations; and


•	Other companies in our industry may calculate FFO differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Because of these limitations, FFO should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business or our dividend paying capacity. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using FFO only supplementally.

Each unit held by a limited partner is exchangeable for one of the Company's common shares, subject to certain limitations to preserve the Company's REIT status.

Adjusted Funds From Operations

We present Adjusted Funds From Operations ("AFFO") as a supplemental measure of our performance. We define AFFO as FFO further adjusted to eliminate the impact of certain items that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance. These further adjustments are itemized below. You are encouraged to evaluate these adjustments and the reasons we consider them appropriate for supplemental analysis. In evaluating AFFO you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation. Our presentation of AFFO should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.

We present AFFO because we believe it assists investors and analysts in comparing our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. In addition, we use AFFO, or some form of AFFO, when certain material, unplanned transactions occur, as a factor in evaluating management's performance when determining incentive compensation and to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies.

AFFO has limitations as an analytical tool. Some of these limitations are:


•	AFFO does not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;


•	AFFO does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;


•	Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and AFFO does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;


•	AFFO does not reflect the impact of certain cash charges resulting from matters we consider not to be indicative of our ongoing operations; and


•	Other companies in our industry may calculate AFFO differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Because of these limitations, AFFO should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using AFFO only supplementally.

Same Center Net Operating Income

We present Same Center Net Operating Income (“NOI”) as a supplemental measure of our performance. We define Net Operating Income ("NOI") as total operating revenues less property operating expenses. Same Center NOI represents the NOI for the properties that were operational for the entire portion of both comparable reporting periods and which were not acquired, expanded, renovated or subject to a material, non-recurring event, such as a natural disaster, during the comparable reporting periods. We believe that NOI and Same Center NOI provide useful information to our investors and analysts about our financial and operating performance because it provides a performance measure of the revenues and expenses directly involved in owning and operating real estate assets and provides a perspective not immediately apparent from net income or FFO. Because Same Center NOI excludes the change in NOI from properties developed, redeveloped, acquired, sold and expanded, it highlights operating trends such as occupancy levels, rental rates and operating costs on properties that were operational for both comparable periods. Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating Same Center NOI, and accordingly, our Same Center NOI may not be comparable to other REITs.

Same Center NOI should not be viewed as an alternative measure of the Company's financial performance since it does not reflect the operations of the Company's entire portfolio, nor does it reflect the impact of general and administrative expenses, acquisition-related expenses, interest expense, depreciation and amortization costs, other non-property income and losses, and the level of capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of the Company's properties, or trends in development and construction activities which are significant economic costs and activities that could materially impact the Company's results from operations.

ECONOMIC CONDITIONS AND OUTLOOK

The majority of our leases contain provisions designed to mitigate the impact of inflation. Such provisions include clauses for the escalation of base rent and clauses enabling us to receive percentage rentals based on tenants' gross sales (above predetermined levels, which we believe often are lower than traditional retail industry standards) which generally increase as prices rise. Most of the leases require the tenant to pay their share of property operating expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes, insurance and advertising and promotion, thereby reducing exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation.

While we believe outlet stores will continue to be a profitable and fundamental distribution channel for many brand name manufacturers, some retail formats are more successful than others. As typical in the retail industry, certain tenants have closed, or will close, certain stores by terminating their lease prior to its natural expiration or as a result of filing for protection under bankruptcy laws.

Due to the relatively short-term nature of our tenants' leases, a significant portion of the leases in our portfolio come up for renewal each year. As of January 1, 2013, we had approximately 1.9 million square feet, or 18%, of our consolidated portfolio at that time coming up for renewal during 2013. During the first nine months of 2013, we renewed approximately 1.5 million square feet of this space at a 18% increase in the average base rental rate compared to the expiring rate. We also re-tenanted approximately 510,000 square feet at a 38% increase in the average base rental rate. In addition, we continue to attract and retain additional tenants. However, there can be no assurance that we can achieve similar increases in base rental rates. In addition, if we were unable to successfully renew or release a significant amount of this space on favorable economic terms, the loss in rent could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Our outlet centers typically include well-known, national, brand name companies. By maintaining a broad base of well-known tenants and a geographically diverse portfolio of properties located across the United States, we reduce our operating and leasing risks. No one tenant (including affiliates) accounts for more than 8% of our square feet or 7% of our combined base and percentage rental revenues. Accordingly, we do not expect any material adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition as a result of leases to be renewed or stores to be released. As of September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, occupancy at our consolidated centers was 99%.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Market Risk

We are exposed to various market risks, including changes in interest rates. Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates. We may periodically enter into certain interest rate protection and interest rate swap agreements to effectively convert floating rate debt to a fixed rate basis. We do not enter into derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. As of September 30, 2013, we were not a party to any interest rate protection agreements.

As of September 30, 2013, approximately 50% of our outstanding debt had a variable interest rate and was therefore subject to market fluctuations. An increase in the LIBOR rate of 100 basis points would result in an increase of approximately $6.7 million in interest expense on an annual basis. The information presented herein is merely an estimate and has limited predictive value. As a result, the ultimate effect upon our operating results of interest rate fluctuations will depend on the interest rate exposures that arise during the period, our hedging strategies at that time and future changes in the level of interest rates.

The estimated fair value of our debt, consisting of senior unsecured notes, unsecured term loans, secured mortgages and unsecured lines of credit, at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $1.4 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively, and its recorded value was $1.3 billion and $1.1 billion, respectively. A 100 basis point increase from prevailing interest rates at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 would result in a decrease in fair value of total debt of approximately $30.9 million and $34.8 million, respectively. Fair values were determined, based on level 2 inputs, using discounted analysis with an interest rate or credit spread similar to that of current market borrowing arrangements.
