Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On November 13, 2006, The Mills Corporation (“TMC”) and The Mills Limited Partnership (“TMLP”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) a Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25 (the “Notification”) to indicate that their Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 will be filed late. Part III and the narrative portion of Part IV(3) of the Notification are filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and the information contained therein (including the update of the pending restatement of the financial statements of TMC and TMLP), insofar as it relates to prior period results of operations or financial condition of TMC and TMLP, is incorporated herein by reference. As indicated in Exhibit 99.1 hereto, TMC and TMLP have substantially completed their internal accounting review. As further described in Exhibit 99.1, the restatement principally relates to errors in the selection and application of corporate and development accounting policies including the following:

 

    Capitalization of interest to predevelopment and development projects

 

    Capitalization of overhead costs to predevelopment and development projects

 

    Cumulative impact and the ongoing accounting for development and leasing fees and interest income related to our adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46R, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities

 

    Translation from foreign currencies of our investments in our foreign subsidiaries

 

    Accounting for the Empire tract transfer

 

    Accounting for grand opening and advertising costs for development projects

 

    Evaluation of capitalized costs, including our accounting for acquisitions of properties

 

    Evaluation of foreign tax exposures

 

    Accounting for tenant inducements and tenant allowances

The information in Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K shall not be deemed “filed” with the SEC for any purpose including Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall such information be incorporated by reference into any registration statement filed by TMC or TMLP under the Securities Act of 1933 regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.

This Current Report on Form 8-K and Exhibit 99.1 contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and are not guarantees of future performance. Further, the forward-looking statements are subject to the limitations listed in Exhibit 99.1 and in the other SEC reports of TMC and TMLP, including that actual events or results may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements.
