            COUSINS PROPERTIES INCORPORATED AND CONSOLIDATED ENTITIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  JUNE 30, 2000
                                   (UNAUDITED)

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

         The Consolidated  Financial  Statements include the accounts of Cousins
Properties Incorporated ("Cousins"),  its majority owned partnerships and wholly
owned   subsidiaries,   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 (benefit) provision
for CREC 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,  2000 and  results of  operations  for the three and six month  periods
ended June 30, 2000 and 1999. Results of operations for the interim 2000 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, 1999. 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 1999 amounts  have been  reclassified  to conform with the 2000
presentation.

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.

6.  WARRANTS TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK OF CYPRESS COMMUNICATIONS, INC.
---------------------------------------------------------------------

         In December 1999, the Company  executed an Amended and Restated  Master
Communications  License  Transaction  Agreement  (the "Master  Agreement")  with
Cypress Communications, Inc. ("Cypress") that provides for Cypress and the owner
of each building  subject to the Master Agreement to enter into a Communications
License  Agreement  (an  "Agreement")  pursuant to which  Cypress  will have the
non-exclusive  right to access the risers  and  certain  areas of certain of the
Company's and its joint  ventures'  office and medical  office  buildings.  Each
Agreement allows Cypress to install  equipment and wiring, at Cypress' sole cost
and expense, and to offer a variety of telecommunication  services to tenants of
each of the applicable  buildings.  Each Agreement has a term of 5 years with an
automatic  renewal for  another 5 years  unless  Cypress  elects not to renew or
Cypress fails to equip the applicable building with a server within 18 months of
the execution of the Agreement.

         Pursuant to each  Agreement,  the Company will receive a percentage  of
the  revenue  earned by  Cypress  from  tenants  and third  parties  who use the
telecommunication  services.  In addition,  the Company has entered into a Stock
Warrant  Agreement with Cypress which provides that Cypress issue to the Company
54,000  warrants per one million  gross  leasable  square feet in the  buildings
subject to the Master  Agreement  or  approximately  345,329  warrants (of which
150,996 warrants relate to wholly owned buildings and 194,333 warrants relate to
joint venture owned buildings), each warrant entitling the owner to purchase one
share of  Cypress'  common  stock at an  exercise  price of $4.22 per share.  On
February 10, 2000,  Cypress  completed its initial public offering of 10 million
shares of common stock. The warrants have not been exercised, and the underlying
common  stock has not been  registered  under  the  Securities  Act of 1933,  as
amended and is not required to be registered until 18 months after completion of
the initial public offering.

         The  value of the  warrants  are  included  in both  Other  Assets  and
Deferred Income in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet and were recorded
on the date Cypress  completed  its initial  public  offering.  The value of the
warrants of $344,000 was determined based on the difference between management's
estimate of the fair market value of the warrants less the exercise  price times
the  number of  warrants  granted  related  to  properties  wholly  owned by the
Company.

         The Deferred Income is being  amortized into Rental  Property  Revenues
over the life of each Agreement.  Pursuant to Statement of Financial  Accounting
Standards  No.  115  "Accounting  for  Certain  Investments  in Debt and  Equity
Securities,"  the asset  will be  adjusted  to fair  market  value  based on the
current trading value of the Cypress common stock  beginning  within one year of
the  date at which  the  warrants  are  required  to be  registered,  with  such
adjustment resulting in unrealized gains or losses which will be recognized as a
separate  component of  Stockholders'  Investment  in the  Consolidated  Balance
Sheet.

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,
              2000 and 1999

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

         Rental  Property  Revenues  and  Operating  Expenses.  Rental  property
revenues  increased  approximately  $14,564,000 and $25,617,000 in the three and
six  month  2000  periods,  respectively.  Rental  property  revenues  from  the
Company's office portfolio increased  approximately  $11,414,000 and $19,558,000
in the three and six month 2000 periods, respectively. The June 1999 acquisition
of Inforum  increased  rental  property  revenues  approximately  $4,222,000 and
$8,705,000  in the  three  and six  month  2000  periods,  respectively.  Rental
property revenues increased approximately  $3,958,000 for both the three and six
month 2000 periods from 101 Second Street which became partially operational for
financial  reporting  purposes  in April  2000.  Three  office  buildings,  AT&T
Wireless  Services  Headquarters,  333 John  Carlyle and 555 North Point  Center
East, which became  partially  operational for financial  reporting  purposes in
September  1999,  May 1999 and February 2000,  respectively,  contributed to the
increase by approximately $1,710,000,  $577,000 and $625,000,  respectively,  in
the three  month  2000  period  and  approximately  $3,669,000,  $1,514,000  and
$902,000,   respectively,  in  the  six  month  2000  period  to  the  increase.
Additionally,  rental  property  revenues  from 615 Peachtree  Street  increased
approximately  $168,000  and  $301,000 in the three and six month 2000  periods,
respectively,  as the six month average economic  occupancy  increased to 81% in
2000 from 68% in 1999.

         Rental property revenues from the Company's retail portfolio  increased
approximately $2,006,000 and $3,137,000 in the three and six month 2000 periods,
respectively.  Rental property revenues increased  approximately  $1,475,000 and
$2,835,000  in the three  and six month  2000  periods,  respectively,  from The
Avenue East Cobb,  which became  partially  operational for financial  reporting
purposes in September 1999. Two retail centers,  The Avenue of the Peninsula and
Mira  Mesa  MarketCenter,  became  partially  operational  in  May  2000,  which
contributed approximately $429,000 and $692,000,  respectively,  to the increase
in both the three and six month 2000 periods.  The increase was partially offset
by a decrease  of  approximately  $644,000  in both the three and six month 2000
periods  from  the  sale  of  Laguna  Niguel  Promenade  in  March  2000  and by
approximately  $157,000  in the six month 2000  period  from the sale of Abbotts
Bridge Station in February 1999.

         Rental property  revenues from the Company's  medical office  portfolio
increased  approximately  $1,221,000  and  $3,061,000 in the three and six month
2000 periods, respectively. Meridian Mark Plaza became partially operational for
financial  reporting  purposes  in April  1999 which  contributed  approximately
$478,000 and $1,491,000 to the increase in the three and six month 2000 periods,
respectively. Northside/Alpharetta II became partially operational for financial
reporting  purposes in September 1999 which contributed  approximately  $697,000
and  $1,309,000  to the  increase  in the  three  and six  month  2000  periods,
respectively.  AtheroGenics  became  partially  operational  in March 1999 which
contributed  approximately  $270,000  to the  increase  for the six  month  2000
period.

         Rental property operating expenses increased  approximately  $4,135,000
and $7,580,000 in the three and six month 2000 periods, respectively, due to the
aforementioned  office  buildings,  retail centers and medical office  buildings
becoming  partially  operational,  as well as the acquisition of Inforum in June
1999.

         Development Income. Development income decreased approximately $365,000
and $961,000 in the three and six month 2000 periods, respectively.  Development
income decreased  approximately $225,000 and $675,000 in the three and six month
2000 periods,  respectively,  due to development  income recognized in 1999 from
the build-to-suit for Walgreens on an outparcel at Colonial Plaza  MarketCenter.
Development  income also  decreased  approximately  $194,000 and $515,000 in the
three and six month 2000  periods,  respectively,  from Cousins  LORET  Venture,
L.L.C.  ("Cousins  LORET")  related  to  the  development  of The  Pinnacle  and
approximately  $173,000  and  $458,000 in the three and six month 2000  periods,
respectively,  from the third party development of Total System Services, Inc.'s
corporate  headquarters.  This decrease was  partially  offset by an increase of
approximately  $120,000  and  $462,000 in the three and six month 2000  periods,
respectively,  in  development  income from the Crawford  Long  Hospital  campus
redevelopment  and the joint venture  medical office  building.  The decrease in
development  income was also  partially  offset by  approximately  $122,000  and
$244,000 in the three and six month 2000 periods,  respectively,  from the third
party   development  of  Cox   Enterprises'   corporate   headquarters   and  by
approximately $155,000 in the six month 2000 period from the development of 1155
Perimeter Center West, owned by 285 Venture, LLC.

         Leasing and Other Fees. Leasing and other fees decreased  approximately
$894,000 and  $1,184,000 in the three and six month 2000 periods,  respectively.
Leasing fees  decreased  approximately  $987,000 in both the three and six month
2000  periods  due to a lease  signed  by CREC at The  Inforum  office  building
executed  prior to the Company's  acquisition  of the building in 1999.  Leasing
fees also  decreased  $243,000 in both the three and six month 2000 periods from
285  Venture,  LLC as a higher  amount of leasing fees from the lease-up of 1155
Perimeter  Center West were recognized in 1999.  Leasing fees from Cousins LORET
decreased  approximately  $126,000  and $541,000 in the three and six month 2000
periods,  respectively,  primarily related to the lease-up of The Pinnacle.  The
decrease  in  leasing  and other fees was  partially  offset by an  increase  of
$330,000 in both the three and six month 2000 periods,  due to a fee  recognized
by the medical  office  division for  representing  the owners of a  third-party
managed  property in the sale of that property.  The decrease was also partially
offset by an increase of leasing fees of approximately $127,000 in the six month
2000 period from Wildwood  Associates,  mainly due to lease-up of the 2300 Windy
Ridge Parkway Building in 2000.

         Residential Lot and Outparcel Sales and Cost of Sales.  Residential lot
and outparcel  sales  decreased  approximately  $1,042,000 and $1,741,000 in the
three and six month 2000 periods,  respectively. The decrease in the three month
2000  period  was  partially  due to a  decrease  in  residential  lot  sales of
approximately  $652,000,  although the number of residential lot sales increased
from 77 lots in the three  month 1999  period to 85 lots in the three month 2000
period.  The decrease in the sales amount was due to a difference in sales price
points  of  the  various  residential  developments.  Also  contributing  to the
decrease was one  outparcel  sale  recognized  by CREC for $425,000 in the three
month 2000 period compared to one outparcel sale for $815,000 in the three month
1999 period.  The decrease in the six month 2000 period was  partially  due to a
decrease  in  residential  lot sales  from 138 lots in 1999 to 114 lots in 2000,
which decreased  residential lot sales by  approximately  $2,001,000.  Partially
offsetting  the  decrease  were  two  outparcel  sales  recognized  by CREC or a
subsidiary  of CREC  totaling  approximately  $1,075,000  in the six month  2000
period,  as compared to one  outparcel  sale for  $815,000 in the six month 1999
period.

         Residential  lot and outparcel  cost of sales  decreased  approximately
$246,000  and  $981,000 in the three and six month 2000  periods,  respectively.
Residential lot cost of sales decreased approximately $213,000 and $1,350,000 in
the three and six month 2000 periods,  respectively,  due to the  aforementioned
explanation  of the  decrease  in  residential  lots and  outparcel  sales.  The
decrease in cost of sales was less than the corresponding  decrease in sales due
to a decrease  during 2000 in the gross profit percentages used to calculate the
cost  of  sales  on  residential   lot  sales  in  certain  of  the  residential
developments. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in outparcel cost
of sales in the six month  2000  period  of  approximately  $369,000  due to the
aforementioned two outparcel sales in 2000, as compared to one sale in 1999.

         Interest  and  Other  Income.   Interest  and  other  income  increased
approximately  $510,000  and  $903,000 in the three and six month 2000  periods,
respectively,  mainly due to interest  income  recognized in 2000 from the $18.6
million note receivable from Charlotte Gateway Village, LLC.

         Income from  Unconsolidated  Joint  Ventures.  (All amounts reflect the
Company's  share of joint  venture  income.)  Income from  unconsolidated  joint
ventures  decreased  approximately  $985,000 and $1,215,000 in the three and six
month 2000 periods, respectively.

         Income from Wildwood Associates  increased  approximately  $324,000 and
$851,000 in the three and six month 2000 periods, respectively. The increase was
partially due to an increase in income  before  depreciation,  amortization  and
interest  expense  from the 3200  Windy  Hill  Road  Building  of  approximately
$224,000 and $430,000 in the three and six month 2000 periods, respectively, due
to an increase in the six month average economic  occupancy to 100% in 2000 from
88% in 1999. The increase was also partially due to an increase in income before
depreciation,  amortization  and interest expense from the 4200 Wildwood Parkway
Building  of  approximately  $233,000  in the six month  2000  period  due to an
increase in average economic occupancy to 100% in 2000 from 81% in 1999.

         Income from Haywood Mall Associates decreased approximately  $1,296,000
and $2,433,000 in the three and six month 2000 periods, respectively, due to the
June 1999 sale of the Company's 50% interest in Haywood Mall.

         Income from CP Venture LLC increased  approximately $302,000 in the six
month 2000 period due mainly to a decrease in amortization expense.

         Income from Cousins LORET decreased approximately $205,000 and $387,000
in the  three  and  six  month  2000  periods,  respectively.  Depreciation  and
amortization expense increased  approximately $249,000 and $666,000 in the three
and six month 2000 periods, respectively, due to The Pinnacle becoming partially
operational,  which  contributed  to the decrease in income from Cousins  LORET.
Additionally, capitalized interest decreased approximately $268,000 and $763,000
in the three and six  month  2000  periods,  respectively,  due to The  Pinnacle
becoming fully  operational for financial  reporting  purposes in December 1999.
Income before depreciation,  amortization and interest expense from The Pinnacle
increased  approximately $282,000 and $1,012,000 in the three and six month 2000
periods,  respectively,  due to an increase in the average economic occupancy to
89% in 2000 from 76% in 1999, which partially offset the decrease.

         Income from 285  Venture,  LLC  increased  approximately  $138,000  and
$281,000  in the  three  and  six  month  2000  periods,  respectively,  as 1155
Perimeter Center West became partially operational in January 2000.

         Income from  Cousins  Stone LP  increased  approximately  $187,000  and
$303,000 in the three and six month 2000 periods, respectively. This venture was
formed  in June  1999  when the  Company  purchased  Faison's  50%  interest  in
Faison-Stone.

         Income from Temco  Associates  decreased  $179,000  and $141,000 in the
three and six month 2000 periods, respectively, due to land sales in 1999. There
were no land sales in 2000.

         General  and  Administrative   Expenses.   General  and  administrative
expenses increased approximately  $1,469,000 and $2,427,000 in the three and six
month 2000 periods, respectively. The increase in both periods was primarily due
to the Company's continued expansion.

         Depreciation and Amortization.  Depreciation and amortization increased
approximately $4,990,000 and $8,615,000 in the three and six month 2000 periods,
respectively,  due to the aforementioned acquisition of Inforum in June 1999 and
the aforementioned office buildings, retail centers and medical office buildings
becoming partially operational.

         Stock Appreciation Right Expense.  The stock appreciation right expense
decreased  approximately  $331,000 in the three month 2000 period and  increased
$230,000 in the six month 2000 period.  This non-cash item is primarily  related
to the  Company's  stock  price,  which was  $33.9375,  $36.8125  and  $38.50 at
December 31, 1999, March 31, 2000 and June 30, 2000,  respectively;  and $32.25,
$28.9375 and $33.8125 at December 31, 1998 and March 31, 1999 and June 30, 1999,
respectively.

         Interest Expense.  Interest expense increased approximately  $2,933,000
and $3,065,000 in the three and six month 2000 periods,  respectively.  Interest
expense  before  capitalization   increased  to  approximately   $6,772,000  and
$13,152,000  in the  three  and  six  month  2000  periods,  respectively,  from
$3,849,000 and $7,639,000 in the three and six month 1999 periods, respectively,
due to higher debt levels.  Partially  offsetting  the increase in the six month
2000 period was an increase of approximately  $2,448,000 in interest capitalized
to projects under development (a reduction of interest expense) to $9,657,000 in
2000 from $7,209,000 in 1999.

         Property Taxes on Undeveloped Land.  Property taxes on undeveloped land
decreased  approximately  $519,000  in the  six  month  2000  period  due to the
reversal in the three months ended March 31, 2000 of estimated  amounts  accrued
for  anticipated  reassessments  of the Company's  North Point and Wildwood land
holdings. The final reassessments, after appeal, were lower than the anticipated
reassessments and the accrual was reduced.

         (Benefit)  Provision  for  Income  Taxes  from  Operations.   (Benefit)
provision for income taxes from operations decreased $507,000 in the three month
2000  period  from a  provision  of $390,000 in 1999 to a benefit of $117,000 in
2000.  (Benefit) provision for income taxes from operations decreased $1,379,000
in the six month 2000 period from a provision of $1,255,000 in 1999 to a benefit
of $124,000 in 2000.  The decrease in both periods was due to a decrease in CREC
and its  subsidiaries'  income from operations before income taxes from $707,000
and $6,554,000 in the three and six month 1999 periods,  respectively, to a loss
from operations  before income taxes of $773,000 and $1,069,000 in the three and
six month 2000  periods,  respectively.  The decrease in both periods was mainly
due to the aforementioned  decrease in net profit from residential lot sales and
a decrease in third-party leasing and other fees earned by CREC. The decrease in
CREC's income from  operations  before  income taxes was partially  offset by an
increase in third-party development fees recognized in 2000.

         Gain on  Sale  of  Investment  Properties.  Gain on sale of  investment
properties decreased approximately  $49,623,000 and $46,839,000 in the three and
six month 2000 periods,  respectively. The 2000 gain included the following: the
March 2000 sale of Laguna Niguel Promenade ($7.2 million gain),  the  April 2000
sale of 2 acres of North Point land  ($.6  million gain) and the amortization of
deferred gain from CP Venture LLC ($2.1  million gain).  The 1999 gain  included
the following:  the January 1999 sale of 3 acres of McMurray   land ($.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) and the  amortization of deferred
gain from CP Venture LLC ($2.0 million gain).

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

         Financial  Condition.  The Company's  adjusted debt  (including its pro
rata  share of  unconsolidated  joint  venture  debt)  was 31% of  total  market
capitalization at June 30, 2000.  Adjusted debt is defined as the Company's debt
and the  Company's  pro  rata  share of  unconsolidated  joint  venture  debt as
disclosed  in Note 4 of  "Notes to  Consolidated  Financial  Statements"  in the
Company's  annual  report on Form 10-K for the year  ended  December  31,  1999,
excluding the Charlotte Gateway Village, LLC debt as it is fully exculpated debt
which is supported by a long-term lease to Bank of America Corporation.

         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),
long-term  non-recourse  financing on the Company's unleveraged projects,  joint
ventures,  project sales and other financings as market conditions  warrant.  In
September  1996,  the  Company  filed a shelf  registration  statement  with the
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for the offering from time to time of
up to $200 million of common stock,  warrants to purchase  common stock and debt
securities,  of which  approximately  $132 million remains available at June 30,
2000.

         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  stockholders.  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  decreased
approximately  $.1  million  in 2000.  Changes  in other  operating  assets  and
liabilities  decreased  approximately  $3.5  million  which  contributed  to the
decrease  in net cash  provided by  operating  activities.  Residential  lot and
outparcel cost of sales also  decreased  approximately  $1.2 million.  Operating
distributions from  unconsolidated  joint ventures decreased  approximately $5.8
million,  partially due to approximately $4.0 million of operating distributions
from  Cousins  LORET in 1999,  as  compared  to  approximately  $1.0  million of
distributions in 2000. Additionally, distributions from CP Venture LLC decreased
approximately  $5.7 million in 2000. The final  distribution of $4.1 million was
made in 1999 from Haywood Mall  Associates  due to the sale of the Company's 50%
interest in Haywood Mall in June 1999,  further  contributing to the decrease in
operating distributions from unconsolidated joint ventures. Partially offsetting
the decrease in operating  distributions from unconsolidated  joint ventures was
an increase of $3.4 million of operating distributions from Wildwood Associates,
an increase of $1.8 million of operating distributions from Temco Associates and
an increase of $1.5 million of operating  distributions  from Cousins  Stone LP,
which was formed in June 1999.  Additionally,  the effect of recognizing  rental
revenues on a  straight-line  basis  decreased  net cash  provided by  operating
activities by approximately $1.2 million.  Partially  offsetting the increase in
net cash provided by operating  activities was an increase in income before gain
on  sale  of  investment   properties  of  approximately  $2.4  million.   Also,
depreciation and amortization increased $8.0 million. Income from unconsolidated
joint ventures decreased  approximately $1.2 million which also partially offset
the decrease in net cash provided by operating activities.

         Net cash used in investing  activities  increased  approximately  $43.3
million in 2000. Net cash received in formation of 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,  1999)  decreased  approximately  $100.0
million  in 2000  which  primarily  caused  the  increase  in net  cash  used in
investing activities. The collection of notes receivable decreased approximately
$3.7 million due to the repayment of the Cousins LORET note  receivable in 1999,
which also contributed to the increase in net cash used in investing activities.
Change in other assets,  net, also increased  approximately  $.9 million,  which
further  contributed  to the increase in net cash used in investing  activities.
Non-operating  distributions from  unconsolidated  joint ventures also decreased
approximately  $2.0 million,  which contributed to the increase in net cash used
in investing activities.  In 1999, Cousins LORET distributed  approximately $2.0
million,  which  represented  a portion  of the  proceeds  from the $70  million
financing  of The  Pinnacle  in  December  1998.  Net  cash  provided  by  sales
activities decreased  approximately $57.5 million also partially contributing to
the  increase  in net cash used in  investing  activities  due to a higher  gain
recognized  from the sale of the Company's 50% interest in Haywood Mall in 1999,
as compared to the sale of Laguna Niguel Promenade in 2000, which further offset
the increase in net cash used in investing activities.  Property acquisition and
development  expenditures  decreased  $108.0  million in 2000 as a result of the
Company having a higher level of projects under development in 1999.  Investment
in  unconsolidated  joint ventures also decreased  approximately  $12.8 million,
which  partially  offset the increase in net cash used in investing  activities,
partially  due to  contributions  of  approximately  $10.1  million  in  1999 to
Charlotte  Gateway Village,  LLC.  Additionally,  contributions of approximately
$5.2 million were made in 1999 to Cousins Stone LP, as compared to approximately
$1.0 million of  contributions  in 2000.  Partially  offsetting  the decrease in
contributions  was  an  increase  in  contributions  to  285  Venture,   LLC  of
approximately $1.8 million in 2000.

         Net cash provided by financing activities increased approximately $40.2
million in 2000 from net cash used in financing activities in 1999. The increase
in 2000 was mainly  attributable  to proceeds  from other notes payable of $89.9
million  from the  completion  of the $90 million  non-recourse  mortgage of 101
Second Street in April 2000. The increase was partially  offset by a decrease of
approximately  $45.1  million in the net amount drawn on the  Company's  line of
credit in 2000. An increase in the dividends paid per share to $.45 in 2000 from
$.41 in 1999 and an increase in the number of shares  outstanding also partially
offset the increase as dividends  paid  increased  approximately  $2.8  million.
Repayment of other notes payable  increased  approximately  $1.5 million in 2000
and common stock sold decreased approximately $.3 million in 2000, both of which
partially offset the increase in net cash provided by financing activities.

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, 1999.

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 have
resulted  in  system  failures  which  could  have  disrupted   operations.   No
significant  delays in processing or  interruption  of business have occurred to
date due to the start of the Year 2000.

         The Company  assessed the impact of the Year 2000 issue on its business
and  operations  and  attempted  to  identify  the areas  which rely on computer
systems that could have been  potentially  impacted,  which mainly  included the
systems  utilized in the  operations  of its real estate  properties  and in the
processing of its accounting data.

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

         The Company  upgraded  its  accounting  software to a version  that its
software vendor has  represented to be Year 2000  compliant,  as they define it.
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 replaced,  upgraded or modified such systems
as needed. The cost of the upgrades to the accounting software and non-financial
computer systems was not material.

         The Company 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. To date, there have been no significant issues
or  interruptions  of  business  and,  based upon an  assessment  of the current
compliance by third parties, there appears to be no material business risk posed
by any  such  non-compliance  as a  result  of a  vendor  not  being  Year  2000
compliant.

         To date,  the cost to analyze  and  prepare for the Year 2000 issue has
not been material.  The Company does not expect to incur any additional costs to
address the Year 2000 issue.  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.
