Section 8. Other Events

Item 8.01. Other Events

      (a) Previously, Hanover Direct, Inc. (the “Company”) reported that it believed that the audit of the Company’s 2004 fiscal year end financial statements would be complete by the middle of June 2005. The Company has not finalized its financial statements and the 2004 year end audit has not been completed and as a consequence, the Company is not yet in a position to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K or its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended September 25, 2004 and March 26, 2005.

      The Company is continuing to work closely with KPMG LLP (“KPMG”), its independent registered public accounting firm, to complete its September 25, 2004 quarterly and December 25, 2004 annual financial statements and KPMG’s respective review and audit. Management believes that its financial statements, and KPMG’s review and audit will be completed in short order and that it will be able to file the Form 10-Q for the fiscal period ended September 25, 2004 and the 2004 Form 10-K shortly after these procedures are completed. The first quarter 2005 Form 10-Q will be filed a few weeks after the filing of the Form 10-Q for the fiscal period ended September 25, 2004 and the 2004 Form 10-K, and the Form 10-Q for the fiscal period ended June 25, 2005 will be filed on a timely basis.
