            COUSINS PROPERTIES INCORPORATED AND CONSOLIDATED ENTITIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  JUNE 30, 1999
                                   (UNAUDITED)

1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION
- --------------------------

         The Consolidated  Financial  Statements include the accounts of Cousins
Properties   Incorporated   ("Cousins")   and  its  majority  and   wholly-owned
affiliates,  Cousins Real Estate Corporation ("CREC") and its subsidiaries,  and
CREC II, Inc. ("CREC II") and its subsidiaries.  All of the entities included in
the Consolidated  Financial  Statements are hereinafter referred to collectively
as the "Company."

         Cousins  has  elected  to be taxed as a real  estate  investment  trust
("REIT"),  and  intends to  distribute  100% of its  federal  taxable  income to
stockholders,  thereby  eliminating any liability for future  corporate  federal
income taxes.  Therefore,  the results  included herein do not include a federal
income tax provision for Cousins. However, CREC and its subsidiaries and CREC II
and its subsidiaries are taxed separately from Cousins as regular  corporations.
Accordingly, the Consolidated Statements of Income include a provision (benefit)
for CREC's and CREC II's income taxes.

         The  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  were  prepared by the Company
without  audit,  but  in the  opinion  of  management  reflect  all  adjustments
necessary for the fair  presentation of the Company's  financial  position as of
June 30, 1999,  and results of  operations  for the three and six month  periods
ended June 30, 1999 and 1998. Results of operations for the interim 1999 periods
are not  necessarily  indicative  of results  expected for the full year.  While
certain  information  and footnote  disclosures  normally  included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting  principles
have been  condensed  or omitted  pursuant to the rules and  regulations  of the
Securities and Exchange  Commission,  the Company  believes that the disclosures
herein are adequate to make the  information  presented  not  misleading.  These
condensed   financial   statements  should  be  read  in  conjunction  with  the
Consolidated  Financial  Statements  and  the  notes  thereto  included  in  the
Company's  annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended  December 31, 1998. The
accounting  policies  employed  are the  same as  those  shown  in Note 1 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements included in such Form 10-K.

         Certain 1998 amounts  have been  reclassified  to conform with the 1999
presentation.

2.   SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION CONCERNING CASH FLOWS
- ---------------------------------------------------

         Interest  (net of $7,209,000  and  $3,335,000  capitalized  in 1999 and
1998,  respectively)  and income  taxes paid were as follows  for the six months
ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 ($ in thousands):

                                                 1999         1998

                  Income taxes paid             $1,336       $  110

         During the six months  ended June 30, 1999,  approximately  $23,236,000
was transferred  from Projects Under  Construction to Operating  Properties.  In
November 1998, the Company entered into a venture  arrangement  (the "Prudential
Venture")  with The  Prudential  Insurance  Company of  America  ("Prudential"),
whereby the Company  contributed nine properties and Prudential is to contribute
a total of $230,469,000 of cash on agreed-upon  dates.  (See Note 5 of "Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements" in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1998.) Prudential contributed  $100,000,000 in the first six months
of 1999,  bringing the total  amount to  $205,000,000  as of June 30, 1999.  The
effect of this  contribution  on the  Consolidated  Balance Sheet as of June 30,
1999 was a  decrease  of  $88,500,000  in  Investment  in  Unconsolidated  Joint
Ventures and an increase of $11,500,000 in Minority Interests.
         At June 30, 1999,  cash and cash  equivalents  included  approximately
$831,000  which is restricted  under a municipal  bond indenture.

million  Line of  Credit  until  August  27,  1999.  The  Company  is  currently
negotiating  the  modification of this $150 million Line of Credit and currently
anticipates a closing on the modification on or before August 27, 1999.

5.  REPORTABLE SEGMENTS
- -----------------------

         The Company  has four  reportable  segments:  Office  Division,  Retail
Division, Medical Office Division and Land Division. The Office Division, Retail
Division and Medical Office Division develop, lease and manage office buildings,
retail centers and medical  office  buildings,  respectively.  The Land Division
owns  various  tracts of  strategically  located  land  which are being held for
future development.  The Land Division also develops  single-family  residential
communities which are parceled into lots and sold to various home builders.

         The management of the Company  evaluates  performance of its reportable
segments based on Funds From Operations ("FFO").  The Company calculates its FFO
using the  National  Association  of Real Estate  Investment  Trusts  ("NAREIT")
definition of FFO adjusted to (i) eliminate the  recognition of rental  revenues
on a straight-line  basis,  (ii) reflect stock  appreciation  right expense on a
cash basis and (iii)  recognize  certain fee income as cash is  received  rather
than when recognized in the financial  statements.  The Company believes its FFO
presentation  more  properly  reflects  its  operating  results.  The  Company's
reportable  segments  are broken down based on what type of product the division
provides. The divisions are managed separately because each product they provide
has separate and distinct  development  issues,  leasing and/or sales strategies
and  management  issues.  The  notations  (100%) and (JV) used in the  following
tables indicate  wholly-owned and unconsolidated  joint ventures,  respectively,
and all amounts are in thousands.

PART I.  FINANCIAL INFORMATION
- ------------------------------

Item          2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
              Results of Operations  for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30,
              1999 and 1998.

Results of Operations:
- ----------------------

         Rental  Property  Revenues  and  Operating  Expenses.  Rental  property
revenues were approximately $3,865,000 and $8,334,000 lower in the three and six
month 1999 periods,  respectively.  Rental property  revenues from the Company's
office division decreased  approximately  $1,447,000 and $3,047,000 in the three
and six month 1999 periods,  respectively.  Rental property  revenues  decreased
approximately  $1,633,000,  $721,000 and $732,000 in the three month 1999 period
and $3,246,000, $1,414,000 and $1,437,000 in the six month 1999 period, from the
contribution  of three office  properties,  First Union  Tower,  100 North Point
Center East and 200 North Point Center East,  respectively,  in November 1998 to
the Prudential  Venture (see Note 2).  Grandview II was also  contributed to the
Prudential  Venture but was not operational for financial  reporting purposes in
the  first  half of  1998.  Additionally,  rental  property  revenues  from  615
Peachtree Street decreased  approximately $279,000 for the six month 1999 period
due partially to the receipt of two cancellation  penalties in the first quarter
1998 and partially to lower average  economic  occupancy in 1999.  The decreases
were partially  offset by increases in rental property  revenues of $608,000 and
$1,250,000 in the three and six month 1999 periods, respectively,  from the June
1998 acquisition of Lakeshore Park Plaza and increases of approximately $558,000
and $1,280,000 in the three and six month 1999 periods,  respectively, in rental
property  revenues  from 333 North  Point  Center  East which  became  partially
operational  for  financial  reporting  purposes in June 1998.  333 John Carlyle
became partially operational for financial reporting purposes in May 1999, which
increased rental property  revenues by $420,000 for the three and six month 1999
periods.

         Rental property  revenues from the Company's retail division  decreased
approximately  $3,502,000  and  $6,722,000  for the  three  and six  month  1999
periods,   respectively.   Rental  property  revenues  decreased   approximately
$1,379,000, $1,304,000, $833,000 and $329,000 in the three month 1999 period and
$2,825,000,  $2,600,000,  $1,659,000  and  $661,000 in the six month 1999 period
from the contribution of North Point MarketCenter,  Greenbrier MarketCenter, Los
Altos MarketCenter and Mansell Crossing II, respectively,  to the aforementioned
Prudential  Venture in November 1998. The decreases were also due to the sale of
Abbotts  Bridge  Station  in  February  1999,  which  contributed  approximately
$407,000 and  $435,000 to the decrease in the three and six month 1999  periods,
respectively.   The  decreases   were   partially   offset  by  an  increase  of
approximately  $626,000 and  $1,239,000 in the three and six month 1999 periods,
respectively,  from Laguna Niguel Promenade,  which became partially operational
in July 1998.

         Rental  property  revenues from the Company's  medical office  division
increased  approximately  $1,118,000  and  $1,506,000 in the three and six month
1999 periods,  respectively. The June 1998 acquisition of Northside/Alpharetta I
contributed  to the  increase  in  rental  property  revenues  by  approximately
$559,000 and  $1,217,000 in the three and six month 1999 periods,  respectively.
The AtheroGenics medical office building became fully operational in March 1999,
which  contributed  approximately  $217,000  and $277,000 to the increase in the
three and six month 1999  periods,  respectively.  Meridian  Mark  Plaza  became
partially operational in April 1999, which contributed approximately $671,000 to
both the increases in the three and six month 1999 periods. These increases were
partially  offset by a decrease of  approximately  $329,000 and $659,000 for the
three and six month  1999  periods,  respectively,  due to the  contribution  of
Presbyterian  Medical  Plaza  at  University  to the  aforementioned  Prudential
Venture in November 1998.

         Rental property operating expenses decreased approximately $481,000 and
$1,114,000  in the  three  and  six  month  1999  periods,  respectively,  which
decreases  were  primarily  related  to the  contribution  of the  three  office
buildings,  the four  retail  centers  and one  medical  office  building to the
Prudential  Venture.  The  decreases  were  partially  offset  by the June  1998
acquisitions of Lakeshore Park Plaza and  Northside/Alpharetta I, as well as 333
North Point Center East, Laguna Niguel Promenade, AtheroGenics and Meridian Mark
Plaza becoming fully or partially  operational  in June 1998,  July 1998,  March
1999 and April 1999, respectively.

         Development Income.  Development income was approximately  $642,000 and
$1,610,000  higher in the three and six month 1999  periods,  respectively.  The
increase in development  income was partially due to development fees recognized
from three of the Company's joint ventures which are developing  Gateway Village
($245,000 and $489,000 in the three and six month periods,  respectively),  1155
Perimeter Center West ($149,000 and $292,000 in the three and six month periods,
respectively) and the Bentwater residential development ($60,000 and $120,000 in
the  three  and  six  month  periods,   respectively).   Development  income  of
approximately  $225,000  and  $675,000 in the three and six month 1999  periods,
respectively,  was also  recognized  from a build to suit  for  Walgreens  on an
outparcel  at Colonial  Plaza  MarketCenter.  Additionally,  development  income
increased  approximately  $223,000 in both the three and six month 1999  periods
from the Crawford Long Hospital campus  redevelopment.  Partially offsetting the
aforementioned  increases in  development  income was a decrease in  development
income  of  approximately  $182,000  and  $303,000  in the  three  and six month
periods,  respectively,  from the Brad Cous Golf  Venture,  Ltd.,  for which the
Company is  developing  World Golf Village,  and by a decrease of  approximately
$115,000 from the Dusseldorf project in the six month 1999 period.

         Management  Fees.  Management  fees  were  approximately  $327,000  and
$543,000 higher in the three and six month 1999 periods, respectively, partially
due to approximately  $191,000 and $354,000 of management fees recognized in the
three  and  six  month  1999  periods,  respectively,  from  the  aforementioned
Prudential  Venture for the  management of the nine  contributed  properties and
partially due to an increase of approximately  $99,000 and $126,000 in the three
and six month periods,  respectively,  of management fees from the Cousins LORET
Venture L.L.C. ("Cousins LORET").

         Residential Lot and Outparcel Sales and Cost of Sales.  Residential lot
and outparcel  sales  increased  approximately  $657,000 in the three month 1999
period and decreased approximately  $1,123,000 in the six month 1999 period. The
increase  for the three  month 1999 period is due to one  outparcel  sale in the
three month 1999 period of approximately $815,000. There were no outparcel sales
in the three month 1998 period.  The increase in the three month 1999 period was
partially  offset by a  decrease  in  residential  lot sales from 92 lots in the
three  month  1998  period  to 85 lots in the three  month  1999  period,  which
decreased residential lot sales by approximately  $158,000. The decrease for the
six month 1999  period was due to a decrease  in the number of  residential  lot
sales from 176 in the six month 1998 period to 151 in the six month 1999 period,
which decreased residential lot sales by $1,138,000.

         Residential  lot and outparcel  cost of sales  decreased  approximately
$200,000 and  $2,090,000 in the three and six month 1999 periods,  respectively,
due partially to the  aforementioned  decreases in  residential  lot sales.  The
decrease in  residential  lot cost of sales was greater  than the  corresponding
decrease in  residential  lot sales due to an increase in the first half of 1999
in gross profit  percentages  used to calculate the cost of sales on residential
lot sales in certain of the  residential  developments.  The decreases were also
due to lower  outparcel cost of sales for the 1999 outparcel sale as compared to
the 1998 outparcel  sales,  with the outparcel  sales prices between years being
approximately the same.

         Interest  and  Other  Income.   Interest  and  other  income  decreased
approximately  $278,000 in the six month 1999 period. The decrease was primarily
due to a decrease in interest income recognized from temporary  investments.  In
the six months ended June 30, 1998, the Company  recognized  interest  income on
temporary  investments  made with the remaining  proceeds from the December 1997
common stock offering of 2,150,000  shares.  No similar amounts were invested in
the six months ended June 30, 1999.

         Income from  Unconsolidated  Joint  Ventures.  (All amounts reflect the
Company's  share of joint  venture  income.)  Income from  unconsolidated  joint
ventures  increased  approximately  $845,000  and  $371,000 in the three and six
month 1999 periods, respectively.

         Income from CSC Associates,  L.P. increased  approximately $184,000 and
$361,000 in the three and six month 1999 periods, respectively, primarily due to
the continued  lease-up of  NationsBank  Plaza.  Average  economic  occupancy of
NationsBank  Plaza  increased  to 98% in the first  half of 1999 from 93% in the
first half of 1998.

         Income from Wildwood Associates  decreased  approximately  $116,000 and
$442,000 for the three and six month 1999  periods,  respectively.  The decrease
was due  partially  to a decrease in  interest  capitalization  of $260,000  and
$545,000 in the three and six month 1999 periods,  respectively, and an increase
in depreciation and  amortization of approximately  $153,000 and $328,000 in the
three and six month 1999 periods,  respectively,  as the 4200  Wildwood  Parkway
Building  became  partially  operational  in June 1998.  Additionally,  interest
expense increased approximately $368,000 and $737,000 in the three and six month
1999 periods, respectively, due to the $44 million non-recourse financing of the
4200 Wildwood  Parkway  Building  which was completed in June 1998.  The overall
decrease was partially  offset by income before  depreciation,  amortization and
interest  expense  of  $611,000  and  $895,000  in the three and six month  1999
periods,  respectively,  from the 4200 Wildwood Parkway Building.  Income before
depreciation,  amortization and interest expense also favorably impacted results
by an increase of  approximately  $191,000  for the six month 1999 period due to
the continued  lease-up of the 2300 Windy Ridge Parkway and the 2500 Windy Ridge
Parkway  Buildings,  which also partially  offset the overall decrease in income
from Wildwood Associates.

         Income from Cousins LORET decreased approximately $162,000 and $318,000
in the  three  and six  month  1999  periods,  respectively.  The  decrease  was
primarily  due to an increase  in  interest  expense  before  capitalization  of
approximately  $622,000 and $1,244,000 for the three and six month 1999 periods,
respectively,  due to the funding of the $70 million  non-recourse  financing of
The  Pinnacle,  which was  completed  on December  30,  1998.  Depreciation  and
amortization increased approximately $358,000 and $555,000 for the three and six
month  1999  periods,  respectively,  due to  The  Pinnacle  becoming  partially
operational for financial reporting purposes in March 1999. Partially offsetting
the decrease for the six month period was an increase of approximately  $253,000
in  interest   capitalized   to  The  Pinnacle.   Income  before   depreciation,
amortization  and interest  expense from The Pinnacle also partially  offset the
decrease by  approximately  $784,000 and  $1,078,000 for the three and six month
1999 periods, respectively, and by approximately $173,000 for the six month 1999
period from the lease-up of Two Live Oak.

         Income from Haywood Mall Associates  increased  approximately  $277,000
and $316,000 for the three and six month 1999 periods,  respectively, due to the
continued lease-up of the expansion of Haywood Mall.

         Income from Cousins  Stone LP increased  $284,000 in the three and six
month 1999  periods.  Cousins  Stone LP was formed June 1, 1999 when Cousins
acquired Faison's 50% interest in Faison-Stone.

         Income from Temco Associates increased $176,000 in the three month 1999
period.  In  June  1999,  Temco  Associates  exercised  an  option  to  purchase
approximately 66 acres of land, which it  simultaneously  sold.  CREC's share of
the gain on the sale was approximately $178,000.

         General  and  Administrative   Expenses.   General  and  administrative
expenses  increased  approximately  $554,000 and $1,068,000 in the three and six
month  1999  periods,  respectively.  The  increase  was  primarily  due  to the
Company's  continued  expansion,  partially  offset  by an  increased  level  of
salaries  and overhead  being  capitalized  to a higher level of projects  under
development in the three and six month 1999 periods.

         Depreciation and Amortization.  Depreciation and amortization decreased
approximately  $746,000 and  $1,537,000 in the three and six month 1999 periods,
respectively.  The decreases were due to the aforementioned contribution of nine
properties  to  the  Prudential  Venture,  partially  offset  by the  June  1998
acquisitions of Lakeshore Park Plaza and  Northside/Alpharetta  I, and 333 North
Point Center East, Laguna Niguel Promenade, AtheroGenics and Meridian Mark Plaza
becoming fully or partially  operational in June 1998, July 1998, March 1999 and
April 1999, respectively.

         Stock  Appreciation  Right  (Credit)  Expense.   The  credit  to  stock
appreciation  right expense  increased  approximately  $578,000 from a credit of
$118,000  in the three  month 1998 period to an expense of $460,000 in the three
month 1999 period.  This  non-cash  item is primarily  related to the  Company's
stock  price,  which was $32.25,  $28.9375,  and  $33.8125 at December 31, 1998,
March 31, 1999 and June 30,  1999,  respectively;  and  $29.3125,  $30.875,  and
$29.875 at December 31, 1997, March 31, 1998, and June 30, 1998, respectively.

         Interest Expense.  Interest expense decreased approximately  $2,666,000
and $5,113,000 in the three and six month 1999 periods,  respectively.  Interest
expense  before  capitalization   decreased  to  approximately   $3,849,000  and
$7,639,000 in 1999 from  $4,595,000 and $8,878,000 in 1998 for the three and six
month periods,  respectively,  due to lower debt levels. Further contributing to
this  decrease was an increase of  approximately  $1,920,000  and  $3,874,000 in
interest  capitalized  to projects  under  development  (a reduction of interest
expense) to $3,784,000 and $7,209,000 in 1999 from  $1,864,000 and $3,335,000 in
1998 for the three and six month periods, respectively.

         Other Expenses.  Other expenses  increased  approximately  $726,000 and
$1,001,000 in the three and six month 1999 periods,  respectively, due primarily
to the  recognition  of  Prudential's  minority  interest in the  aforementioned
Prudential Venture.

         Provision  (Benefit)  for  Income  Taxes  from  Operations.   Provision
(benefit) for income taxes from operations increased $479,000 in the three month
1999  period  from a benefit of $89,000 in 1998 to a  provision  of  $390,000 in
1999.  Provision (benefit) for income taxes from operations increased $1,362,000
in the six month 1999  period  from a benefit of $107,000 in 1998 to a provision
of  $1,255,000  in 1999.  The  increase in both periods is due to an increase in
CREC and its subsidiaries income from operations before income taxes of $974,000
and $3,313,000 for the three and six month 1999 periods, respectively.  CREC and
its  subsidiaries'  income from operations  before income taxes increased mainly
due to the aforementioned  increase in development  income.  Certain development
fees recorded on CREC and its  subsidiaries'  books are  intercompany fee income
which is  eliminated  in  consolidation,  but the tax  effect  is not,  and such
intercompany  fees  increased  in both the  three and six  month  1999  periods.
Additionally, CREC II has a 50% interest in Cousins Stone LP for which its share
of income from operations before income taxes was $244,000 for the three and six
month 1999 periods.

         Gain on  Sale  of  Investment  Properties.  Gain on sale of  investment
properties increased approximately  $50,312,000 and $55,049,000 in the three and
six month 1999 periods,  respectively. The 1999 gain included the following: the
January 1999 sale of 3 acres of McMurray land ($.1 million  gain),  the February
1999 sale of Abbotts Bridge Station, a neighborhood  retail center ($3.5 million
gain), the March 1999 sale of Kennesaw Crossings neighborhood retail center ($.9
million  gain),  the May 1999 sale of 2 acres of Hidden  Hills land ($.1 million
gain),  the June 1999 sale of the  Company's 50% interest in Haywood Mall ($50.1
million  gain)  (see  Note 6) , and  amortization  of  deferred  gain  from  the
aforementioned formation of the Prudential Venture ($2.0 million). The 1998 gain
included  the  following:  the March  1998 sale of 6 acres of land ($.6  million
gain) and the April 1998 sale of  approximately  23 acres of land ($1.0  million
gain), both at the Company's North Point development.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:
- --------------------------------

         Financial  Condition.  The Company's debt (including its pro rata share
of unconsolidated joint venture debt) was 27% of total market  capitalization at
June 30, 1999.

         The  Company  has  development  and  acquisition  projects  in  various
planning stages.  The Company  currently  intends to finance these projects,  as
well as the  completion  of projects  currently  under  construction,  using its
existing  lines of credit  (increasing  those lines of credit as required)  (see
Note 3), long-term non-recourse financing on the Company's unleveraged projects,
other  financings,  and the sale of common  stock,  warrants to purchase  common
stock and debt securities under a $200 million shelf registration  statement the
Company filed with the Securities and Exchange  Commission in September 1996, of
which approximately $132 million remains available at June 30, 1999.

         The Company from time to time  evaluates  opportunities  and  strategic
alternatives,   including  but  not  limited  to  joint  ventures,  mergers  and
acquisitions and new private or publicly-owned entities created to hold existing
assets and acquire new assets.  These  alternatives  may also  include  sales of
single or multiple assets when the Company  perceives  opportunities  to capture
value  and  redeploy  proceeds  or  distribute  proceeds  to  shareholders.  The
Company's  consideration of these  alternatives is part of its ongoing strategic
planning  process.  There  can be no  assurance  that any such  alternative,  if
undertaken and consummated, would not materially adversely affect the Company or
the market price of Cousins' Common Stock.

         Cash  Flows.  Net  cash  provided  by  operating  activities  increased
approximately  $4.2  million  in 1999.  Changes  in other  operating  assets and
liabilities decreased approximately $1.9 million.  Residential lot and outparcel
cost of sales  decreased  approximately  $1.9  million  due to a decrease in the
number of residential lots sold in 1999. Depreciation and amortization decreased
approximately  $1.5  million  due  to  the  aforementioned  contribution  of the
properties   to   the   Prudential   Venture.   Operating   distributions   from
unconsolidated  joint  ventures  increased  approximately  $9.6  million,  which
partially offset the  aforementioned  decreases,  primarily due to approximately
$6.9  million of  operating  distributions  from the  Prudential  Venture and to
approximately $2.0 million of operating distributions from Cousins LORET.

         Net cash used in investing  activities  decreased  approximately  $58.4
million in 1999. Net cash received related to the Prudential  Venture  increased
approximately  $100  million  in 1999 (see Note 2) which  primarily  caused  the
decrease in the net cash used in investing activities.  Also contributing to the
decrease in net cash used in  investing  activities  was an increase in net cash
provided by sales activities of approximately $82 million. This increase was due
mainly to four sales in the first half of 1999: Abbotts Bridge Station, Kennesaw
Crossings,  McMurray land and the  Company's  50% interest in Haywood Mall.  The
collection of notes receivable also increased  approximately $4.3 million due to
the  repayment of the Cousins  LORET note  receivable in the first half of 1999.
The decrease in net cash used in investing activities was partially offset by an
increase of approximately $103.3 million in property acquisition and development
expenditures, as a result of the Company having a higher level of projects under
development in 1999 and the June 1999 acquisition of the Inforum office building
(see Note 6).  Non-operating  distributions from  unconsolidated  joint ventures
decreased  $20.6 million,  which also partially  offset the decrease in net cash
used  in  investing  activities.  In the  first  half  of  1999,  Cousins  LORET
distributed  approximately  $2.0  million,  which  represented  a portion of the
proceeds  from the  aforementioned  $70  million  financing  of The  Pinnacle in
December  1998.  In 1998,  the Company  received a  distribution  from  Wildwood
Associates of $22.6 million,  primarily due to the completion of the $44 million
financing of the 4200 Wildwood Parkway Building.  No such distribution  occurred
in 1999.  Investment in  unconsolidated  joint  ventures  increased $5.1 million
primarily due to the  formation of Cousins Stone LP on June 1, 1999,  which also
partially  offset  the  decrease  in net  cash  used  in  investing  activities.
Investment in notes receivable  increased  approximately $6.0 million due to the
loan to Cousins  LORET being made in the first half of 1998. No similar loan was
made  in  the  first  half  of  1999.   Deferred  income  recognized   increased
approximately  $2.1 million which related to the Prudential  Venture (see Note 5
of "Notes to Consolidated  Financial  Statements" in the Company's annual report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998) and also partially offset the
aforementioned  decreases.  Change in other  assets,  net, also  decreased  $2.8
million, which further offset the aforementioned decreases.

         Net cash used in financing  activities  increased  approximately  $27.7
million  in 1999  from net cash  provided  by  financing  activities,  which was
primarily attributable to a decrease of $29.3 million in the net amount drawn on
the Company's  line of credit.  An increase in the  dividends  paid per share to
$.41 in 1999  from  $.36  in  1998  and an  increase  in the  number  of  shares
outstanding  also  contributed  to the  increase  in net cash used in  financing
activities,  as dividends paid increased  approximately $3.5 million.  Partially
offsetting the increase in net cash used in financing activities was an increase
of approximately  $4.2 million in the proceeds  received from common stock sold,
net of expenses.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk:
- ----------------------------------------------------------

         There have been no  significant  changes in the  Company's  market risk
related to its notes  payable and notes  receivable  from that  disclosed in the
Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998.

Year 2000:
- ----------

         The "Year  2000  issue"  is the  result of  certain  computer  systems,
software,   electronic  equipment  or  embedded  chips  (collectively  known  as
"computer  systems")  being  written using two digits rather than four to define
the applicable  year.  Therefore,  certain  computer systems may not distinguish
between a year that begins with a "20" rather than a "19." This could  result in
system  failures which could cause  disruptions  of operations.  The Company has
completed  its  initial  assessment  of the impact of the Year 2000 issue on its
business  and  operations  and has  identified  the areas which rely on computer
systems  and may be  potentially  impacted,  which  mainly  include  the systems
utilized in the  operations of its real estate  properties and in the processing
of its accounting data.

         The Company has  substantially  completed  an inventory of the material
computer systems being utilized in its existing operating real estate properties
which may be adversely  affected by the Year 2000 issue.  Such systems  include,
but are not limited to, building control  systems,  heating and air conditioning
controls,  elevator controls, fire alarms and security devices. Certain of these
systems are being replaced,  upgraded or modified as deemed necessary,  the cost
of which is not expected to be material.

         The Company is  currently in the process of  upgrading  its  accounting
software to a version that its software  vendor has  represented to be Year 2000
compliant,  as they define it. The Company  expects to have the  installation of
the upgrade  completed by the third quarter of 1999.  The hardware and operating
system used to run the accounting  software has been represented to be Year 2000
compliant. The Company has also assessed its non-financial computer systems, and
is  replacing,  upgrading or modifying  such systems as needed.  The cost of the
upgrades to the accounting  software and  non-financial  computer systems is not
expected to be material.

         The  Company has  significantly  completed  its survey of all  material
third  party  vendors to  determine  their Year 2000  compliance  status and has
received certificates,  where possible, as to their compliancy. No estimates can
be made as to any potential  adverse  impact  resulting  from the failure of any
third party vendor or service provider to be Year 2000 compliant.  To the extent
the Year 2000 issue has a material adverse effect on the business  operations or
financial  condition  of third  parties  with  which the  Company  has  material
relationships,  such as vendors, suppliers,  tenants and financial institutions,
the Year 2000 issue could also have a material  adverse  effect on the Company's
business, results of operations and financial condition.

         To date,  the cost to analyze  and  prepare for the Year 2000 issue has
not been  material.  There can be no assurance  that the Company will be able to
identify  and  correct  all  aspects of the effect of the Year 2000 issue on the
Company. However, the Company does not currently expect the Year 2000 issue will
have a  material  impact on the  Company's  business,  operations  or  financial
condition.

         The Company is currently developing  contingency plans on a property by
property basis. This involves assessing  critical tenants,  systems and vendors.
Certain servicing  arrangements have been contracted with particular  vendors to
provide  immediate  response if the need arises and the Company is arranging for
specific employees to staff certain properties in case of need.

         The preceding "Year 2000" discussion  contains various  forward-looking
statements,  within the meaning of the federal  securities laws, which represent
the Company's beliefs or expectations regarding future events. When used in this
discussion,  the words "expects" and "anticipates"  and similar  expressions are
intended  to identify  forward-looking  statements.  Forward-looking  statements
include,  without  limitation,  the  Company's  expectations  as to when it will
complete its Year 2000  evaluation,  the estimated  costs of achieving Year 2000
readiness  and the Company's  expectation  that Year 2000 issues will not have a
material impact on the Company's  business,  operations or financial  condition.
All forward-looking  statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties that
could cause the actual results to differ materially from the projected  results.
Factors that may cause these  differences  include,  but are not limited to, the
availability of qualified personnel,  technology resources, any actions of third
parties with respect to Year 2000 problems and other risks detailed from time to
time in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
