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 and that the Company expected to become current in its periodic filings beginning with the filing of its Form 10-Q for the period ended June 25, 2005. The Company is not yet in a position to file its annual report or other periodic filings. As a consequence of the further delay, the Company will not be able to file its Form 10-Q for the second fiscal quarter on a timely basis as previously reported.

The Company continues to assist its independent registered public accounting firm to complete its audit.
