ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

        As reported in the report Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on August 14, 2000, affiliates of the Mills Corporation
(the "Company") disposed of their interests on August 3, 2000 in Gwinnett
Marketfair in Duluth, Georgia; Mount Prospect Plaza in Mount Prospect,
Illinois; Western Hills Plaza in Cincinnati, Ohio; West Falls Church in Falls
Church, Virginia; Butterfield Plaza in Downers Grove, Illinois; Coopers Plaza
in Voorhees, New Jersey; Crosswinds Center in St. Petersburg, Florida; Fashion
Place in Columbia, South Carolina; Germantown Commons in Germantown, Maryland;
and Montgomery Village in Gaithersburg, Maryland(collectively the "Disposed
Properties") for an aggregate sale price of $142.0 million. The aggregate sale
price was determined through arms-length negotiations and was a function of
projected revenues and expenses and other factors including tenant base. The
Disposed Properties were sold by the Company to  Kejack, Inc., an unrelated
third party.  The Company netted $25.5 million in proceeds and the buyer
assumed $111.0 million of existing debt.

ITEM 7.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS

      The following unaudited, pro forma financial information and exhibits are
      filed as part of this report:

      A.    Unaudited proforma financial information required pursuant to
            Article 11 of Regulation S-X:

            (1)   Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet--
                    June 30, 2000

                  Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations--
                    Year ended December 31, 1999

                    Six months ended June 30, 2000
<PAGE>   3

        The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2000
is based on the unaudited historical financial statements of the Disposed
Properties and the Company after giving effect to the dispositions as described
in Item 2 as if the sale had been consummated as of June 30, 2000.

        The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations for the
year ended December 31, 1999 is based, in part, on the unaudited historical
statements of income before extraordinary items of the Disposed Properties after
giving effect to the dispositions as described in Item 2 as if the sale had been
consummated on January 1, 1999.

        The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations for the
six months ended June 30, 2000 is based, in part, on the unaudited historical
statements of income before extraordinary items of the Disposed Properties after
giving effect to the dispositions as described in Item 2 as if the sale had been
consummated on January 1, 2000.

        The unaudited pro forma financial statements have been prepared by the
Company based upon the statements of income before extraordinary items of the
Disposed Properties. These unaudited pro forma financial statements may not be
indicative of the results that actually would have occurred if the transactions
had been in effect on the dates indicated or which may be obtained in the
future. The unaudited pro forma financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements of the Company including its Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999 and the unaudited
financial statements of the Company on Form 10-Q for the six months ended June
