1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

ORGANIZATION

         The Mills Corporation (the "Company") is a fully-integrated,
self-managed real estate investment trust ("REIT"). 

         The Company conducts all of its business through the The Mills Limited
Partnership (the "Operating Partnership"), in which it owns, as of June 30,
1997, a 1% interest as the sole general partner and a 57.9% interest as a
limited partner.  The Company, through the Operating Partnership, is engaged 
primarily in the ownership, development, redevelopment, leasing, acquisition,
expansion, and management of super-regional, value and entertainment-oriented
outlet malls (the "Mills") and community shopping centers (the "Community
Centers"). As of June 30, 1997, the Operating Partnership owns or holds an
interest in the following operating properties:

</TABLE>

         In addition to the operating properties, the Company is actively
involved in the development of a number of new Mills, including Grapevine Mills
(Dallas, TX), Arizona Mills (Tempe, AZ), City Mills at Orange (Orange,
California), Katy Mills (Houston, TX), Meadowland Mills (Carlstadt, NJ),
Concord Mills (Charlotte, NC), and Columbus Mills (Columbus, OH).

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared by
the Company's management in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form
10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of
the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management,
all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary
for a fair presentation have been included.  The results of operations for the
six month period ended June 30, 1997, is not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the full year.  These financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements
and footnotes thereto, included in the Mills Corporation Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996.

         The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company
include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, including its
majority owned subsidiary, the Operating Partnership.  The accounts of the
Operating Partnership include the accounts of all Properties which are wholly
owned or controlled by the Operating Partnership as well as its wholly-owned
subsidiaries Mills Management L.L.C. ("Mills Management"), and Management
Associates Limited Partnership ("MALP").  In addition, the Operating
Partnership owns 5% of the voting common stock and 99% of the preferred stock
of the Mills Services Corporation ("MSC"), an entity formed in connection with
the Offering to provide development, management, leasing and finance services
to the Company and other entities owned by affiliates of the Company.  As a
result of the Operating Partnership's ownership of 99% of the economic
interests, MSC is consolidated with the Operating Partnership.  The Company's
investments in the partnerships that own Ontario Mills, Ontario Mills Residual,
Grapevine Mills, Grapevine Mills Residual, Arizona Mills, Columbus Mills and
City Mills, which represent non-controlling ownership interests, are accounted
for using the equity method of accounting.  All significant intercompany
transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.  Minority
interests represent the ownership interests in the Operating Partnership not
held by the Company.

2.  RECLASSIFICATIONS

         Certain reclassifications of prior period amounts have been made in
the financial statements to conform to the 1997 presentation.

3.  PER SHARE DATA

         Net income per share for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and June
30, 1996 is based on the weighted average number of common shares and common
equivalent shares outstanding during such period (20,540,896 and 16,905,953 at
June 30, 1997 and June 30, 1996, respectively).

         Limited partnership units in the Operating Partnership (15,954,220 and
16,331,306 outstanding at June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, respectively)
may be exchanged for shares of common stock of the Company on a one-for-one
basis in certain circumstances.  This exchange right has not been considered in
the computation of per share data as it does not have a dilutive effect.

         In February 1997, the Financial Acocunting Standards Board issued
Statement No. 128, Earnings Per Share (FASB No. 128), which is required to be
adopted on December 31, 1997.  At that time, the Company will be required to
change the method currently used to compute earnings per share and to restate
all prior periods.  Under the new requirements for calculating primary earnings
per share, the dilutive effect of stock options will be excluded.  Adoption of
FASB No. 128 is not expected to have a significant impact on primary or fully
diluted earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and June 30,
1996.

4. INVESTMENT IN UNCONSOLIDATED ENTITIES

         Certain Mills under development are partially owned through joint
ventures ("Joint Ventures").  The Company is also the managing general partner
of these Joint Ventures.  The Company's  interest in each Joint Venture is as
follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
                                                   Ownership %
                 Joint Venture                     as of June 30, 1997
                 -------------                     -------------------
                 <S>                                     <C>
                 Ontario Mills                           50.0%
                 Grapevine Mills                         37.5%
                 Arizona Mills                           36.8%
                 Columbus Mills and
                   Sawgrass Expansion                    50.0%
                 City Mills                              50.0%
</TABLE>

         The Company does not consolidate these Joint Ventures as major
business decisions require the approval of at least one other general partner.
As a result, its investments are accounted for under the equity method, where
the investments are recorded at cost and subsequently adjusted for equity in
the net income (loss) and cash contributions and distributions. The Company
reduces its investment in Joint Ventures to eliminate intercompany profits on
sales of services that are capitalized by the Joint Ventures.

In connection with the Joint Venture agreements, the Company is committed
to providing certain levels of equity in addition to amounts invested to date.
The Company has guaranteed repayment of $22.9 million of Joint Venture debt
until certain debt service coverage tests are met.  In addition, the Company is
contingently liable for property taxes and assessments levied against Ontario
Mills Limited Partnership by the City of Ontario Special Assessment

District.  The aggregate amount of the special tax assessment is approximately
$26,000 and will be collected over a 25 year period to fund debt service on
bonds issued by the City to fund the infrastructure improvements.

           Combined balance sheet and results of operations information is
presented below for all Joint Ventures at June 30, 1997, and for the six months
then ended:

                                                                        $      3,419

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures                     $      1,001
                                                                        =============
</TABLE>

         The primary difference between the carrying value of the Company's
investment in unconsolidated joint ventures and the Operating Partnership's
accumulated equity noted above is due to capitalized interest on the investment
balance, capitalized development and leasing costs which are recovered by the
Operating Partnership through fees earned during construction and loans to the
Joint Ventures included in other liabilities above.

5.  DECLARATION OF DIVIDEND

         On June 10, 1997,  the Company declared a dividend of $.4725 per share
which was paid on July 22, 1997 to stockholders of record as of July 1, 1997.

6.  BORROWINGS

    On May 5, 1997, the Company refinanced loans secured by Franklin Mills
totaling $165,800, with the proceeds of a new $110,000 mortgage loan and funds
from the March 1997 stock issuance.  The new loan bears interest at a fixed
rate of 7.88% and amortizes over 30 years with a balloon payment in March 2008.
In connection with this refinancing, the Company expensed $8,100 of deferred
loan costs as an extraordinary loss, including a prepayment penalty of $2,054.
The new loan can be increased to $165,000 through May 4, 1998, subject to
certain financial requirements relating to increases above $130,000.  The
Company increased the borrowings under this loan to $130,000 on August 8, 1997.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison of three months ended June 30, 1997 to three months ended June 30,
1996.

         Income before minority interest for the three months ended June 30,
1997 decreased by approximately $3.4 million (81.1%) to $0.8 million as
compared with the three months ended June 30, 1996.  The decrease was the
result of an increase in revenues of approximately $1.7 million (4.5%), a
decrease in expenses of approximately $2.4 million (6.9%) and an increase in
equity in earnings of unconsolidated entities of $0.9 million offset by a
decrease in other income of $0.5 million and an increase in extraordinary loss
on debt extinguishment of $7.9 million.

Revenues:

                 Minimum rents for the three months ended June 30, 1997
increased approximately $0.4 million (1.6%) compared with the three months
ended June 30, 1996.  This was primarily due to higher lease renewal rates
accross the properties.

                 Fee income for the three months ended June 30, 1997, increased
$0.9 million (93.1%) compared with the three months ended June 30, 1996. During
the three months ended June 30, 1996 the Company earned development-related
fees from one project under development (Ontario Mills), compared to three
projects (Grapevine Mills, Arizona Mills and City Mills) for the three months
ended June 30, 1997.

         Interest income for the three months ended June 30, 1997, increased
approximately $0.3 million (45.1%) compared with the three months ended June
30, 1996.  The increase was primarily due to higher average daily balances in
interest-bearing accounts resulting from the investment of the proceeds from
the sale of common stock in March 1997.

Expenses:

         Interest expense decreased by approximately $1.1 million (10.2%) for
the three months ended June 30, 1997, compared with the three months ended June
30, 1996.  The decrease was primarily due to the refinancing of debt secured by
Franklin Mills.

         Depreciation and amortization decreased $1.2 million (12.4%) for the
three months ended June 30, 1997, compared with the three months ended June 30,
1996.  The decrease was due to a decrease in amortization of loan costs as a
result of refinancing the debt secured by Potomac Mills and Gurnee Mills in
December 1996 and a decrease in depreciation relating to assets reaching their
depreciable lives.

         Other income for the three months ended June 30, 1997, decreased $0.5
million compared with the three months ended June 30, 1996.  The decrease was
due to a decrease in gain on land sales.

         Equity in earnings of unconsolidated entities in 1997 relates
primarily to the commencement of operations of  Ontario Mills which opened
November 1996.

         The extraordinary loss on debt extinguishment in 1997 was due to the
refinancing of the debt secured by Franklin Mills in May 1997.  The
extraordinary loss on debt extingishment in 1996 was due to refinancing the
debt secured by the community centers in January, 1996.

Comparison of six months ended June 30, 1997 to six months ended June 30, 1996.

         Income before minority interest for the six months ended June 30, 1997
decreased by approximately $0.6 million (8.6%) to $6.9 million as compared with
the six months ended June 30, 1996.  The decrease was the result of an increase
in revenues of approximately $3.8 million (4.9%), a decrease in expenses of
approximately $3.7 million (5.3%), and an increase in equity in earnings of
unconsolidated joint ventures of  $1.0 million offset by an increase in the
loss on debt extinguishment of $7.1 million and a decrease in other income of
$2.0 million.

Revenues:

         Minimum rents for the six months ended June 30, 1997, increased
approximately $0.7 million (1.5%) compared with the six months ended June 30,
1996.  The increase was primarily due to the higher lease renewal rates across
the properties.

         Fee income for the six months ended June 30, 1997, increased $2.6
million (144.0%) compared to the six months ended June 30, 1996.  During the
six months period ended June 30, 1996 the Company earned development-related
fees from one project under development (Ontario Mills), compared to three
projects (Grapevine Mills, Arizona Mills and City Mills) for the six months
ended June 30, 1997.

         Interest income for the six months ended June 30, 1997, increased $0.4
million (37.0%) compared with the six months ended June 30, 1996.  The increase
was primarily due to higher average daily balances in interest-bearing accounts
resulting from the investment of the proceeds from the sale of common stock in
March 1997.

Expenses:

         Other operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1997,
decreased approximately $0.3 million (9.3%)  compared with the six months ended
June 30, 1996.  This decrease is primarily due to a decrease in contributions
to promotional programs of $0.2 million and a decrease in bad debt expense of
$0.1 million at certain projects.

         Interest expense decreased by approximately $0.7 million (3.0%) for
the six months ended June 30, 1997, compared with the six months ended June 30,
1996.  This decrease was primarily due to the refinancing of debt secured by
Franklin Mills in May 1997.

         Depreciation and amortization decreased $2.8 million (14.0%) for the
six months ended June 30, 1997, compared with the six months ended June 30,
1996.  The decrease was due to a decrease in amortization of loan costs as a
result of refinancing the debt secured by Potomac Mills and Gurnee Mills in
1996 and a decrease in depreciation relating to assets reaching the end of
their depreciable lives.

         Other income for the six months ended June 30, 1997, decreased $2.0
million compared with the six months ended June 30, 1996.  The decrease was due
to a decrease in gain on land sales.

         Equity in earnings of unconsolidated entities earned in 1997 relates
primarily to the commencement  of operations of Ontario Mills which opened
November 1996.

         The extraordinary loss on debt extinguishment in 1997 and 1996 was due
to refinancing the debt secured by Franklin Mills and the community centers,
respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         As of June 30, 1997, the Company's balance of cash and cash
equivalents was $1.4 million, not including its proportionate share of cash
held in unconcolidated entities. In addition to its cash reserves, the Company
had a $40.0 million Line of Credit available, $10.6 million available under its
Revolving Master Repurchase Agreements and $20.0 million available under the
Franklin Mills loan (see below).

         Financing Activities.  During 1996 and 1997, the Company completed
various financing and refinancing activities which extended the weighted
average remaining term of the Company's total indebtedness from 3.5 years at
December 31, 1995 to 5.7 years at June 30, 1997, while maintaining
investment-grade interest rates (7.1% weighted average interest rate at June
30, 1997).

         As of June 30, 1997, the Company had two short term credit facilities,
summarized as follows (dollars in thousands):

         The amounts available under the Line of Credit are subject to certain
performance measurements and restrictive covenants.  The Company was in
compliance with the applicable covenants at June 30, 1997.  In the third
quarter of 1997 the Company increased the funds available under the facility to
$60.0 million.

         On May 5, 1997, loans totaling $165.8 million were refinanced with
proceeds of new borrowings of a new $110.0 million mortgage loan and funds from
a recent stock issuance (see below).  The mortgage loan bears interest at 7.88%
and amortizes over thirty years with a balloon payment in May 2007.  The new
loan can be increased to $165.0 million through May 4, 1998, subject to certain
financial requirements relating to increases above $130.0 million.  On August
8, 1997, the Company borrowed $20.0 million under this loan to bring the total
proceeds to $130.0 million.  This $20.0 million tranche bears interest at 7.44%
and amortizes over thirty years with a balloon payment in May 2007.

         Effective October 28, 1996, the Company filed a universal shelf
registration statement on Form S-3 to offer a maximum of $250.0 million of
common stock, preferred stock, and common stock warrants.  Pursuant to this 
shelf registration, the Company sold a  total of 5,175,000 shares of common
stock on March 19, 1997.  On March 21, 1997, the Company sold an additional
150,000 shares of its common stock to its underwriters to cover a portion of
their short position resulting from their over-allotments in connection with
the March 19, 1997 offering.  The net proceeds of these issuances ($121.8
million) were contributed to the Operating Partnership and were used to pay
down debt including $17.8 million outstanding under the line of credit, $10.6
million outstanding under the Revolving Master Repurchase Agreement and $55.0
million of prior loans secured by the Franklin Mills project in connection with
the refinancing discussed above.  The balance of the proceeds were used to fund
development costs or are available to fund future development and
remerchandising activities.

         The Company had consolidated debt of approximately $638.9 million at
June 30, 1997 of which $596.9 million was fixed-rate debt and $42.0 million was
variable-rate debt. Scheduled principal repayments of consolidated indebtedness
through 2000 are $58.7 million, with $580.2 million due thereafter.  The
Company expects to refinance or repay these obligations with cash generated
from operations, external borrowings or equity issuances.  The Company's pro
rata share of unconsolidated joint venture debt at June 30, 1997 was $77.9
million (net of tax increment financing), of which it had guaranteed $22.9
million.

         The Company's ratio of debt-to-total market capitalization was 37.3%
and 54.5% at June 30, 1997 and June 30, 1996, respectively.  If the Company's
pro-rata share of indebtedness of all unconsolidated joint venture properties
were included, the ratio of debt-to-total market capitalization would be 39.9%
and 54.9%, respectively.

         Development, Remerchandising and Expansion.  The Company is involved
in the following development, remerchandising and expansion efforts:

         At least six Mills projects are planned to be completed in the next
four years, including Grapevine Mills, Arizona Mills, City Mills, Katy Mills,
Concord Mills, and Meadowland Mills.

         Grapevine Mills and Arizona Mills are expected to open in the fourth
quarter of 1997. Construction loans and loan commitments, aggregating
approximately $240.0 million, are considered adequate to fund the remaining
development efforts for these projects. Equity commitments from the Company's
joint venture partners and the Company have been fully funded.

         City Mills, Concord Mills, and Katy Mills are scheduled to open in the
fourth quarter of 1998, second quarter of 1999, and third quarter of 1999,
respectively. All three projects will be financed principally with external
borrowings, potential preferred and other equity contributions from joint
venture partners and the Operating Partnership.  The Company anticipates that
the Operating Partnership's required future equity requirements for City Mills,
Concord Mills, and Katy Mills in the aggregate may total as much as $60 million.


         The Company expects to commence construction of Meadowlands Mills in
1998, with a targeted opening date in 2000.  Kan Am has committed  to
contribute two-thirds of the equity for a one-third ownership interest in this
project.

         The Company has announced plans to develop a Mills project adjacent to
the new 49ers stadium at Candlestick Point near San Francisco with Simon
DeBartolo Group and DeBartolo Entertainment.  The Company is also conducting
due diligence on several other proposed Mills, including evaluating sites in
Columbus, Ohio, N.

Aurora, Illinois, and Toronto, Canada.  In June 1997, the Company formed an
alliance with Tishman-Speyer to study potential international sites.

         In addition to these new Mills, the Company is planning to spend 
approximately $125 million on its existing portfolio during the next three 
years to complete its expansion and remerchandising programs in each of the 
Company's first four Mills. It is anticipated that these projects will be 
financed with external borrowings, equity contributions from Kan Am and other 
potential equity issuances.

         Capital Resources.  The Company anticipates that its operating
expenses, interest expense on outstanding indebtedness, recurring capital
expenditures and distributions to stockholders in accordance with REIT
requirements will be provided by cash generated from operations, potential
ancillary land sales and borrowings under its Line of Credit.

         The Company believes that it will have the capital and access to
additional capital resources sufficient to expand and develop its business in
accordance with its operating, development and financing strategies.

         Distributions.  The Company has paid and intends to continue to pay
regular quarterly distributions to its stockholders.  Distributions are payable
at the discretion of the Board of Directors and depend on a number of factors,
including net cash provided by operating activities, its financial condition,
capital commitments, debt repayment schedules and such other factors as the
Board of Directors deems relevant.

CASH FLOWS

 Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 1997 to Six Months Ended June 30,
1996.  Net cash provided by operating activities increased $1.2 million, or
4.5%, to $27.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to
$26 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996.  Net cash used in investing
activities decreased $5.3 million or 17.5%, to $25.1 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1997, as compared to $30.4 million for the six months ended June
30, 1996, primarily as a result of decreased expenditures for real estate and
development assets and the return of advances from certain joint ventures.  Net
cash used in financing activities decreased $1.3 million, to $7.0 million for
the six months ended June 30, 1997, as compared to $8.3 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1996, primarily as a result of the additional capital
provided by the sale of common stock in 1997, offset by the repayment of
outstanding indebtedness.

FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS

         The Company generally considers Funds From Operations ("FFO") a widely
used and appropriate measure of performance for an equity REIT which provides a
relevant basis for comparison among REITs. FFO as defined by NAREIT means
income (loss) before minority interest (determined in accordance with GAAP),
excluding gains (losses) from debt restructuring and sales of property, plus
real estate related depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for
unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. FFO is presented to assist
investors in analyzing the performance of the Company. The Company's method of
calculating FFO may be different from methods used by other REITs and,
accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. FFO does not represent
cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP, (ii) is not indicative of cash
available to fund all cash flow needs and liquidity, including its ability to
make distributions and (iii) should not be considered as an alternative to net
income (determined in accordance with GAAP) for purposes of evaluating the
Company's operating performance.

         For the six months ended June 30, 1997 FFO increased to $32.4 million
from to $26.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996.  For the quarter
ended June 30, 1997, FFO increased to $17.5 million from $13.3 million for the
comparable period in 1996.  FFO amounts were calculated in accordance with
NAREIT's definition of FFO as follows:

SEASONALITY

         The regional shopping center industry is seasonal in nature, with mall
tenant sales peaking in the fourth quarter due to the Christmas season. As a
result, a substantial portion of the percentage rents are not paid until the
fourth quarter. Furthermore, most new lease-up occurs towards the later part of
the year in anticipation of the holiday season and most vacancies occur toward
the beginning of the year. In addition, the majority of the temporary tenants
take occupancy in the fourth quarter. Accordingly, cash flow and occupancy
levels are generally lowest in the first quarter and highest in the fourth
quarter. This seasonality also impacts the quarter-by-quarter results of net
operating income and FFO, although this impact is largely mitigated by accruing
minimum and percentage rents on a straight line basis during the year in
accordance with GAAP.

ECONOMIC TRENDS

         Because inflation has remained relatively low during the last three
years, it has had little impact on the operation of the Mills Entities and the
Company during that period. Even in periods of higher inflation, however,
tenant leases provide, in part, a mechanism to help protect the Company. As
operating costs increase, leases permit a pass-through of the common area
maintenance and other operating costs, including real estate taxes and
insurance, to the tenants. Furthermore, most of the leases contain base rent
steps and percentage rent clauses that provide additional rent after a certain
minimum sales level is achieved. These provisions provide some protection to
the Company during highly inflationary periods.

ITEM 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF  SECURITY HOLDERS

         The Annual Meeting of Shareholders of The Mills Corporation was
         held on May 30, 1997 and, by the affirmative vote of a majority of
         shareholders participating in person or by proxy, was adjourned until
         and concluded on June 25, 1997.  The following is a tabulation of the
         voting on each proposal presented at the Annual Meeting and a listing
         of Directors whose term of office as Directors continued after the
         meeting:

         Proposal 1 (a proposal to amend the Company's bylaws to require
         the approval of a two-thirds majority of the disinterested outside
         directors for all joint venture or similar arrangemenets between the
         Company and Kan Am U.S., Inc. or its affiliates and would eliminate
         the requirement that a majority of the Company's shareholders approve
         such transactions):

                Votes for:              12,744,971
                Votes against:           1,989,220
                Abstensions:               169,334
                Non-Vote                 5,964,121
                                        
         Under the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, a proposal to
         amend the by-laws by the vote of the shareholders requires the
         approval of two-thirds of the issued and outstanding shares of the
         Company's stock as of the applicable record date; thus, Proposal 1
         required at least 14,874,324 shares to vote in favor of the Proposal
         and, accordingly, did not receive sufficient votes for approval.

         Proposal 2 (a proposal to amend the Company's Certificate of
         Incorporation to prohibit persons from acquiring shares of the Company
         if the acquisition would cause more than 50% of the Company's shares
         to be held by "Non-U.S. Persons," triggering withholding tax
         obligations on the sale of the Company's stock by Non-U.S. Persons):

                Votes for:              13,872,609
                Votes against:             869,587
                Abstensions:               133,879
                Non-Votes:               5,964,571

         Under the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, a proposal to
         amend the Certificate of Incorporation requires the approval of
         one-half of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company's stock
         as of the applicable record date; thus, Proposal 2 required at least
         11,155,743 shares to vote in favor of the Proposal and, accordingly,
         was approved.

         Proposal 3 (a proposal to amend the Company's Certificate of
         Incorporation to eliminate a technical requirement requiring the
         Company to obtain either a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service or
         an opinion of counsel before granting an exemption from Ownership
         Limits contained in the Company's Certificate of Incorporation):

                Votes for:              13,183,660
                Votes against:           1,485,444
                Abstentions:               234,420
                Non-votes:               5,964,122

         Under the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, a proposal to
         amend the Certificate of Incorporation requires the approval of
         one-half of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company's stock
         as of the applicable record date; thus, Proposal 3 required at least
         11,155,743 shares to vote in favor of the Proposal and, accordingly,
         was approved.

         Proposal 4 (to elect directors to a term expiring upon the date
         of the Annual Shareholders Meeting in the year 2000):
