Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

          On November 15, 2006, Tween Brands, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its financial results for the third quarter and year-to-date period ending October 28, 2006. A copy of the Company’s press release is furnished as an exhibit to this Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

          The Company will also present its financial results for the third quarter and year-to-date period ended October 28, 2006 during a conference call on November 15, 2006 at 9:00 a.m. EDT, which will be broadcast via Internet webcast. Investors can listen to the call through the Company’s website, www.tweenbrands.com.

          The information contained or incorporated by reference in this Form 8-K contains various “forward-looking statements” specifically related to the company’s earnings outlook and store growth plans for 2006 within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other applicable securities laws. Such statements can be identified by the use of the forward-looking words “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project,” “target,” “believe,” “intend,” “plan,” “expect,” “hope,” “risk,” “could,” “pro forma,” “potential,” “prospect,” “outlook,” or similar words. These statements discuss future expectations, contain projections regarding future developments, operations or financial conditions, or state other forward-looking information. These forward-looking statements involve various important risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause our actual results for 2006 and beyond to differ materially from those expressed. The following factors, among others, could affect our future financial performance and cause actual future results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements included in this Form 8-K:

	•		Changes in consumer spending patterns, consumer preferences and overall economic conditions;
	•		Decline in the demand for our merchandise;
	•		The impact of competition and pricing;
	•		Effectiveness of our brand awareness and marketing programs;
	•		A significant change in the regulatory environment applicable to our business;
	•		Risks associated with our sourcing and logistics functions;
	•		Changes in existing or potential trade restrictions, duties, tariffs or quotas;
	•		Currency and exchange risks;
	•		Availability of suitable store locations at appropriate terms;
	•		Ability to develop new merchandise;
	•		Ability to hire and train associates;
	•		The potential impact of health concerns relating to severe infectious diseases, particularly on manufacturing operations of our vendors in Asia and elsewhere;
	•		Acts of terrorism in the U.S. or worldwide; and
	•		Other risks that may be described in other reports and filings we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Future economic and industry trends that could potentially impact revenue and profitability are difficult to predict. Therefore, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements included herein will prove to be accurate. The inclusion of forward-looking statements should not be regarded a representation by us, or any other person, that our objectives will be achieved. The forward-looking statements made herein are based on information presently available to us, as the management of the Company. We assume no obligation to publicly update or revise our forward-looking statements even if experience or future changes make it clear that any projected results expressed or implied therein will not be realized.
