ITEM 1.BUSINESS
CORPORATE PROFILE
Cousins Properties Incorporated (the "Registrant" or "Cousins") is a
Georgia corporation, which since 1987 has elected to be taxed as a real estate
investment trust ("REIT"). Cousins Real Estate Corporation ("CREC"), a taxable
entity consolidated with the Registrant, owns, develops, leases, and manages a
portion of the Company's real estate portfolio. Cousins/New Market Development
Company, Inc. ("CNM") is a subsidiary of CREC which develops retail shopping
centers. The Registrant, together with CREC, CNM and CREC's other consolidated
entities, is hereafter referred to as the "Company."
Cousins is an Atlanta-based, fully integrated equity real estate investment
trust. The Company has extensive experience in the real estate industry,
including the acquisition, financing, development, management and leasing of
properties. Cousins has been a public company since 1962, and its common stock
trades on the New York Stock Exchange. The Company owns a portfolio of well-
located, high-quality retail and office developments and holds several tracts of
strategically located undeveloped land. The Company's holdings are concentrated
in the southeastern United States, primarily in the Atlanta area. The
strategies employed to achieve the Company's investment goals include the
development of properties which are substantially precommitted to quality
tenants; maintaining high levels of occupancy within owned properties; the
selective sale of assets and the acquisition of quality income-producing
properties at attractive prices. The Company also seeks to be opportunistic and
take advantage of normal real estate business cycles.
The notes referenced in the discussion below are the "Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements" included in the financial section of the Registrant's 1994
Annual Report to Stockholders.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF COMPANY INVESTMENTS
Presently, the Company owns, directly and indirectly, equity interests of
at least 50% in nine high-quality commercial office buildings, primarily in the
Atlanta, Georgia area, with aggregate rentable space of approximately 3.9
million square feet (4.4 million gross square feet). (This total includes the
Wildwood 3100 Windy Hill Road building, from which the Company derives
substantially all of the economic benefits through a ground lease and first
mortgage note (see Note 3)). The Company also owns a 9.8% interest in and
manages a 1.2 million square foot building in Atlanta, Georgia. In addition to
the above completed office buildings, the Company has two office buildings that
are currently under construction totaling 349,000 square feet. The Company
believes that its portfolio of commercial office buildings is currently the
largest (measured by leasable area) in the southeastern United States held by
any publicly-traded REIT.
The weighted average leased percentage of the nine 50% or more owned
buildings which were operational was approximately 92% as of March 15, 1995.
The leases at these major office properties expire as follows:
Square Feet Square Feet Expiring
Expiring as % of Total Leased
----------- --------------------
1995 247,140 7%(a)
1996 158,610 4%

========= ====
(a)Includes 130,847 square feet and 73,896 square feet of leases
which expire in 1995 and 1998, respectively, only if
significant cancellation penalties are paid. Otherwise, the
leases expire 5 years later than shown in the above table.
The weighted average remaining lease term of the nine 50% or more owned
buildings which were operational was approximately 8 years as of December 31,
1994.
All of the Company's major office tenant leases in these buildings provide
for pass through of operating expenses, and base rents which escalate over time.
In the retail area, which is the primary focus of the Company's current
development activity, the Company's holdings at December 31, 1994 include a 50%
interest in a regional mall (currently being expanded), a 100% interest in three
retail power centers, an 82.3% interest in a fourth retail power center, and a
100% interest in one retail strip center. The retail strip center and one of
the retail power centers were under construction at December 31, 1994. The
Company purchased sites for and began development of two additional retail power
centers in February 1995. All of the Company's retail power centers are
significantly preleased to anchor tenants which generally have lease terms of 10
years or more, pass through of operating expenses, and base rents which escalate
over time.
The weighted average leased percentage of the three operational retail
power centers was approximately 98% as of March 15, 1995. The leases at these
retail centers expire as follows:
Square Feet Square Feet Expiring

------- ----
677,141 100%
======= ====
The weighted average remaining lease term of the three operational retail
power centers was approximately 15 years as of December 31, 1994.
The Company's other real estate holdings include equity interests in
approximately 600 acres of strategically located land held for investment and
future development, and two mortgage notes for $28 million which are secured by
a 250,000 square foot office building in Washington, D.C. The terms of these
two notes have some of the characteristics of an equity investment, and should
provide a comparable return on investment (see Note 3).
The Company's joint venture partners include IBM and affiliates of The
Coca-Cola Company ("Coca-Cola"), NationsBank Corporation ("NationsBank"),
Corporate Property Investors, Odyssey Partners, L.P., Temple-Inland Inc., Dutch
Institutional Holding Company ("DIHC"), American General Corporation, and Carr
Realty Corporation.
The success of the Company's operations is dependent upon such
unpredictable factors as the availability of satisfactory financing; general and
local economic conditions; the activity of others developing competitive
projects; and zoning, environmental impact, and other government regulations.
Refer to Item 2 hereof for a more detailed description of the Company's
real estate properties.
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN 1994
Significant changes in the Company's business and properties during the
year ended December 31, 1994 were as follows:
During 1994 the Company completed construction of two retail power centers,
North Point Market-Phase I (313,000 square feet) and Presidential Market-Phase I
(320,000 square feet, 204,000 square feet owned). For financial reporting
purposes North Point Market-Phase I and Presidential Market-Phase I became
operational on May 1, 1994 and December 1, 1994, respectively. The Company
began construction of North Point-Phase II, a 173,000 square foot expansion
(57,000 square feet owned), in August 1994. Additional construction started in
1994 included: Lovejoy Station, a 78,000 square foot retail strip center and
Lawrenceville Market, a 519,000 square foot retail power center. Also,
development commenced on two power centers in February 1995, which were in the
predevelopment stage as of December 31, 1994; Colonial Plaza, a 543,000 square
foot retail power center located in Orlando, Florida and Mansell Crossing-Phase
II, a 100,000 square foot retail power center expansion adjacent to the
Company's other North Point properties.
The Company commenced construction of two office buildings during 1994. In
September 1994, the Company formed a joint venture with an affiliate of Carr
Realty Corporation to jointly develop John Marshall-II a 224,000 square foot
building located in suburban Washington, D.C. which is 100% pre-leased. North
Point Center, a 125,000 square foot building located adjacent to the Company's
other North Point properties which will be 100% owned by the Company, was
started in December 1994.
In July 1994, the Company entered into a $100 million line of credit with
two commercial banks. The line bears interest tied to the Federal funds rate,
matures September 30, 1996, and is secured by the Company's partnership interest
in CSC Associates, L.P. In conjunction with obtaining the new line, the Company
paid off its First Union Tower line of credit.

The Registrant's executive offices are located at 2500 Windy Ridge Parkway,
Suite 1600, Atlanta, Georgia 30339. At December 31, 1994, the Company employed

MAJOR PROPERTIES
GENERAL
This section describes the major operating properties in which the Company
has an interest either directly or indirectly through joint venture
arrangements. A "negative investment" in a joint venture results from
distributions of capital to the Company, if any, exceeding the sum of (i) the
Company's contributions of capital and (ii) reported earnings (losses) of the
joint venture allocated to the Company. "Investment" in a joint venture means
the book value of the Company's investment in the joint venture.
WILDWOOD OFFICE PARK
Wildwood Office Park is a 289 acre Class A commercial development in
suburban Atlanta master planned by I.M. Pei, including 5 office buildings
containing 1,922,000 rentable square feet. The property is zoned for office,
institutional, and commercial use, with over 7 million additional gross square
feet of office and commercial space planned for the park. Approximately 104
acres in the park are owned by, or committed to be contributed to, Wildwood
Associates (see below), including approximately 52 acres of land held for future
development. The Company owns 100% of the 151 acre balance of the land
available for future development.
Located in Atlanta's northwest commercial district, just north of the
Interstate 285/Interstate 75 intersection, Wildwood features convenient access
to all of Atlanta's major office, commercial and residential districts. The
Wildwood complex overlooks the Chattahoochee River and borders 1,200 acres of
national forest, thus providing an urban office facility in a forest setting.
Wildwood Associates. Wildwood Associates is a joint venture between the
Company and IBM formed in 1985. The Company and IBM each have a 50% interest in
Wildwood Associates. At December 31, 1994, the Company's investment in Wildwood
Associates and a related partnership (see "Summit Green") was approximately $3.3
million, which included the cost of the land the Company is committed to
contribute to Wildwood Associates. In addition, the Company has severally
guaranteed one-half of a $50,000,000 bank line of credit to Wildwood Associates
related to the 3200 Windy Hill Road Building, under which $9.0 million was drawn
at December 31, 1994.
Wildwood Associates owns the 3200 Windy Hill Road Building (681,000
rentable square feet), the 2300 Windy Ridge Parkway Building (634,000 rentable
square feet) and the 2500 Windy Ridge Parkway Building (313,000 rentable square
feet). At March 15, 1995, these three buildings were 95%, 94% and 89% leased,
respectively. Wildwood Associates also owns 14 acres leased to two banking
facilities and five restaurants (one under development); an additional one acre
retail site currently being marketed to prospective users, and a child care
facility.
The 3200 Windy Hill Road Building was financed primarily with equity, and
at December 31, 1994 had $9 million outstanding debt related to it. The 2300
Windy Ridge Parkway Building and the 2500 Windy Ridge Parkway Building were
financed primarily with debt and, at December 31, 1994, had $81.8 million and
$31.1 million of outstanding debt related to them, respectively.
Other Buildings in Wildwood Office Park. Wildwood Office Park also
contains the 3301 Windy Ridge Parkway Building, a 106,000 rentable square foot
office building located on approximately 10 acres which is wholly owned by the
Company. Commencing January 1994, a single tenant, TSW International, Inc.,
leased the building for a term of ten years. The lease was initially for 60% of
the building with options permitting the tenant to expand its occupancy to the
remainder of the building over the next several years; the first such option for
an additional 10% of the space was exercised in the fourth quarter of 1994. In
addition, the 3100 Windy Hill Road Building, a 188,000 rentable square foot
corporate training facility occupies a 13-acre parcel of land which is wholly
owned by the Company. The training facility improvements were sold in 1983 to a
limited partnership of private investors, at which time the Company received a
leasehold mortgage note. The training facility land was simultaneously leased
to the partnership for thirty years, along with certain equipment for varying
periods. The training facility was 100% leased by the partnership to IBM
through November 1993. In January 1993, the IBM lease was extended through
November 30, 1998. Concurrently with the IBM extension, the mortgage note and
related leases were also modified (see Note 3).
NORTH POINT
North Point is a mixed-use commercial development located in north central
suburban Atlanta, Georgia off of Georgia Highway 400, a six lane state highway
that runs from downtown Atlanta to the northern Atlanta suburbs. The Company
owns either directly or indirectly, approximately 169 and 230 acres located on
the east and west sides of Georgia Highway 400, respectively. Currently, only
the land which is located east of Georgia Highway 400 is being developed. The
Company previously sold 100 acres of its holdings located on the east side of
Georgia Highway 400 in 1988 to a joint venture of Homart Development Co. and
JMB/Federated Realty Associates, Ltd. This joint venture constructed North
Point Mall, a 1.1 million square foot regional mall which opened in October 1993
and will be expanded to 1.3 million square feet with the addition of a sixth
anchor store (Dillard's). The following describes the various components of
North Point.
North Point Market Associates, L.P. ("NPMA"). NPMA is a limited
partnership between Cousins (82.3%) and an affiliate of Coca-Cola (17.7%). The
venture was formed in September 1993 when the Georgia Highway 400 land owned
through Spring/Haynes Associates (see Note 5) was distributed to its partners,
with each partner concurrently recontributing certain acres of the land to NPMA.
Additionally, Cousins contributed certain acres of its wholly owned Georgia
Highway 400 land to the new venture.
NPMA developed North Point Market-Phase I, a 313,000 square foot retail
power center located adjacent to North Point Mall, which became operational for
financial reporting purposes in May 1994. The center also includes six
outparcels available for ground lease to freestanding users, of which four are
currently leased. Construction commenced on North Point Market-Phase II
(173,000 square feet, 57,000 square feet owned) in August 1994. In connection
with the commencement of construction, NPMA sold 10.8 acres of land in Phase II
to Dayton Hudson Corporation, which is developing a Target store on the site.
This sale was treated as a tax-free exchange, and in February 1995 the proceeds
were swapped into the purchase of land adjacent to the Company's other North
Point properties. The Company plans to use this land for Mansell Crossing-Phase
II, an approximately 100,000 square foot expansion of an existing retail power
center previously developed by the Company for a third party.
North Point Market-Phase I was financed partially with equity contributions
from both partners, with the remainder financed by a note payable to Cousins
which bears interest at the Prime rate plus 1%. The balance of this note
payable is $17.7 million at December 31, 1994. The extent to which Cousins
receives interest income from the note (which is eliminated in consolidation)
creates a preferential return from the Partnership to Cousins. The improvements
at North Point Market-Phase II are being financed 100% through this note payable
to Cousins. The construction costs of Mansell Crossing-Phase II, however, will
be financed 100% through equity contributions from Cousins, thus creating an
additional preferential return to Cousins.
Wholly Owned North Point Property. In December 1994, the Company commenced
construction on North Point Center, a 125,000 square foot office building,
located on half of a 14 acre site of the North Point land adjacent to North
Point Mall. North Point Center is scheduled to be completed in the first
quarter of 1996 at a total cost of approximately $16 million.
Approximately 30 acres of the North Point land are being ground leased in 1
to 2 acre sites to freestanding users. The carrying value of this land was
transferred to Operating Properties in September 1993. Approximately 18 acres
are leased as of March 15, 1995.
The remaining approximately 300 developable acres at North Point are 100%
owned by the Company. Approximately 70 acres of this land are located on the
east side of Georgia Highway 400 and are zoned for mixed-use development
including retail and office space. Approximately 230 acres of the land are
located on the west side of Georgia Highway 400 and are zoned for office,
institutional and light industrial use.
OTHER OFFICE PROPERTIES
NationsBank Plaza. NationsBank Plaza is a Class A, 55-story, 1.3 million
rentable square foot office tower designed by Kevin Roche and is located on
approximately 4 acres of land between the midtown and downtown districts of
Atlanta, Georgia. The building, which was completed in 1992, was approximately
91% leased at March 15, 1995. An affiliate of NationsBank, the fourth largest
bank in the United States, leases 46% of the rentable square feet.
NationsBank Plaza was developed by CSC Associates, L.P. ("CSC"), a joint
venture formed by the Company and C&S Premises, Inc., an affiliate of
NationsBank. The Company and C&S Premises, Inc. each have a 50% interest in
CSC.
In October 1993, the partnership fully repaid all of its debt with equity
contributions of $86.7 million made by each partner. At December 31, 1994, the
Company's investment in CSC was approximately $105,239,000. The Company has
guaranteed one-half of a $5,000,000 bank line of credit under which there was no
outstanding balance at December 31, 1994.
CSC's net income or loss and cash distributions are allocated to the
partners based on their percentage interests (50% each), subject to a preference
to Cousins. The Cousins preference is $2.5 million (giving Cousins an
additional $1.25 million over what it would otherwise receive), and accrues to
Cousins, with interest at 9% to the extent unpaid, over the period February 1,
1992 through January 31, 1995. Following repayment of the partnership's debt in
October 1993, Cousins began recognizing its accrued preference currently in
income, which resulted in Cousins recognizing $874,000 and $451,000 in income
over what it would have otherwise recognized in the years ended December 31,
1993 and 1994, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 1994, Cousins
received distributions of the preference and accrued interest of approximately
$2.65 million. The remaining preference amount of $71,000 was distributed in
January 1995. Amounts above the preference amount are allocated based on the
partners' percentage interests.
First Union Tower. First Union Tower is a Class A office building
containing approximately 317,000 rentable square feet. The property is located
on approximately one acre of land in downtown Greensboro, North Carolina. First
Union Tower opened in the first quarter of 1990 and at March 15, 1995 was
approximately 86% leased.
First Union Tower is owned by North Greene Associates Limited Partnership
("NGA"), which was formed in 1987 as a joint venture of Cousins and Weaver
Downtown Limited Partnership. Cousins has an 85% ownership interest in NGA, and
accounts for it as a consolidated entity. Cousins is recognizing 100% of the
income or losses from NGA until cumulative retained earnings exceed zero or
partnership distributions commence, at which time Cousins will recognize 85% of
the income or losses, subject to the preference discussed below.
Cousins has made a $36 million secured line of credit available to NGA
which matures December 31, 1996. At December 31, 1994, the line had a balance
of $29.8 million and an interest rate equal to the Federal funds rate plus 1%.
Under terms of the line, partnership distributions are prohibited and 100% of
the project's operating cash flows have been paid to Cousins. The extent to
which Cousins receives interest income from the partnership effectively creates
a preferential return to Cousins.
One Ninety One Peachtree Tower. One Ninety One Peachtree Tower is a 50-
story, Class A office tower located in downtown Atlanta, Georgia that was
completed in December 1990. One Ninety One Peachtree Tower, which contains 1.2
million rentable square feet, was designed by John Burgee Architects, with
Phillip Johnson as design consultant.
One Ninety One Peachtree Tower was developed on approximately 2 acres of
land, of which approximately 1.5 acres is owned and approximately one-half acre
under the parking facility is leased for a 99-year term expiring in 2088 with a
99-year renewal option. One Ninety One Peachtree Tower was approximately 94%
leased at March 15, 1995.
C-H Associates, Ltd. ("C-H Associates"), a partnership formed in 1988
between CREC (49%), Hines Peachtree Associates Limited Partnership (49%) and
Peachtree Palace Hotel, Ltd. (2%), owns a 20% interest in the partnership that
owns One Ninety One Peachtree Tower. C-H Associates' 20% ownership of One
Ninety One Peachtree Tower results in an effective 9.8% ownership interest by
CREC in the One Ninety One Peachtree Tower project. The balance of the One
Ninety One Peachtree Tower project is owned by DIHC Peachtree Associates, an
affiliate of DIHC.
Through C-H Associates, CREC received 50% of the development fees from the
One Ninety One Peachtree Tower project. In addition, CREC owns a 50% interest
in two general partnerships which receive fees from leasing and managing the One
Ninety One Peachtree Tower project.
The One Ninety One Peachtree Tower project was funded substantially by debt
until March 1993, at which time DIHC Peachtree Associates contributed equity in
the amount of $145,000,000. Subsequent to the equity contribution, C-H
Associates is entitled to a priority distribution of $250,000 per year (of which
the Company is entitled to receive $112,500) for seven years beginning in 1993.
The equity contributed by DIHC Peachtree Associates is entitled to a preferred
return at a rate increasing over the first 14 years from 5.5% to 11.5% (payable
after the Company's priority return); at December 31, 1994, the cumulative
undistributed preferred return was $3,006,562. Thereafter, the partners will
share in any distributions in accordance with their percentage interests. At
December 31, 1994, the Company had a negative investment of $90,000 in the One
Ninety One Peachtree Tower project.
Ten Peachtree Place. Ten Peachtree Place is a 20-story, 259,000 rentable
square foot Class A office building located in midtown Atlanta, Georgia.
Completed in 1991, this structure was designed by Michael Graves and is
currently 100% leased to Coca-Cola. Approximately four acres of adjacent land,
currently used for surface parking, are available for future development.
Ten Peachtree Place is owned by Ten Peachtree Place Associates, a general
partnership between the Company (50%) and a wholly owned subsidiary of Coca-Cola
(50%). The partnership acquired the property in 1991 for a nominal cash invest
ment, subject to a ten-year purchase money note. This 8% purchase money note
had an outstanding balance of $21.7 million at December 31, 1994. If the
purchase money note is paid in accordance with its terms, it will amortize to
approximately $15.3 million ($59 per rentable square foot) over the ten-year
term of the Coca-Cola lease, at which time Coca-Cola is entitled to receive the
preferred return described below and the property may be sold, released, or
returned to the lender under the purchase money note for $1.00 without penalty
or any further liability to the Company for the indebtedness. At December 31,
1994, the Company had a negative investment in Ten Peachtree Place Associates of
$75,000.
The Company anticipates that Ten Peachtree Place Associates will generate
approximately $400,000 per year of cash flows from operating activities net of
note principal amortization during the ten-year lease. The partnership
agreement generally provides that each of the partners is entitled to receive
50% of cash flows from operating activities net of note principal amortization
(excluding any sale proceeds) for ten years, after which time the Company is
entitled to 15% of cash flows (including any sale proceeds) and its partner is
entitled to receive 85% of cash flows (including any sale proceeds), until the
two partners have received a combined distribution of $15.3 million, after which
time each partner is entitled to receive 50% of cash flows (including any sale
proceeds).
Summit Green. Summit Green, a 21-acre office park located in Greensboro,
North Carolina, is owned by Wildwood Associates (the partnership with IBM) and a
related partnership. The park contains a 135,000 rentable square foot mid-rise
office building which was 100% leased at March 15, 1995. The Summit Green land
is leased from an unrelated third party for a 99-year term expiring in 2084.
Space exists for two additional office buildings, but the Company has no plans
to commence additional development without prior leasing commitments.
CC-JM II Associates. This joint venture was formed in 1994 between the
Company and an affiliate of Carr Realty Corporation, each as 50% general
partners, to develop and own a 224,000 square foot office building in suburban
Washington, D.C. The building will be 100% leased for 15 years to Booz-Allen &
Hamilton, an international consulting firm, as a part of its corporate
headquarters campus, and is scheduled to be completed in 1996 at a total cost of
approximately $32 million. Each partner contributed $2.7 million to the venture
during 1994.
OTHER RETAIL PROPERTIES
Haywood Mall. Haywood Mall is an enclosed regional shopping center located
5 miles southeast of downtown Greenville, South Carolina, which was developed
and opened in 1980. Haywood Mall Associates, a joint venture arrangement formed
in 1979 by the Company and Bellwether Properties of South Carolina, L.P., an
affiliate of Corporate Properties Investors, owns the mall which is currently
being expanded from 956,000 gross leasable square feet ("GLA") (of which the
venture's ownership is approximately 272,000 GLA) to 1,256,000 GLA (of which the
venture's ownership will be approximately 329,000). The balance of the mall is
owned by the mall's major department stores (four prior to the expansion and
five afterwards). The portion of Haywood Mall owned by Haywood Mall Associates
was developed on approximately 19 acres of land, of which approximately 16 acres
is owned and approximately 3 acres (of parking area) is leased under a ground
lease expiring in 2067. The portion of Haywood Mall owned by the joint venture
was approximately 93% leased as of March 15, 1995 and has been at least 90%
leased since 1986.
The Company has a 50% interest in Haywood Mall Associates. The Company
originally had only a nominal cash investment, but funded an aggregate of $2.8
million in 1988 through 1990 as its 50% share of capital improvements made to
the mall, including a new food court area. Additionally, the Company
contributed $16.1 million during 1994 to fund its share of the expansion and the
prepayment of an existing 9.37% first mortgage in May 1994. The venture intends
to continue funding the expansion with additional equity contributions of
approximately $6 million from each partner. At December 31, 1994, the Company's
investment was $15,985,000.
Perimeter Expo Associates, L.P. In June 1993, Perimeter Expo Associates,
L.P. (90% owned by Cousins and 10% owned by CNM) purchased the land for and
began construction of a retail power center adjacent to Perimeter Mall in
Atlanta, Georgia. Perimeter Expo features a new concept called The Home Depot
Expo, which was separately developed by The Home Depot as an upscale interior
design center. Perimeter Expo contains approximately 295,000 square feet, of
which approximately 178,000 square feet are owned by the Company and the balance
of the center, 117,000 square feet, owned by The Home Depot. The center opened
in November 1993 and became operational for financial reporting purposes on
December 1, 1993.
Presidential Market. In December 1994, Presidential Market-Phase I, an
approximately 320,000 square foot retail power center, located in northeast
suburban Atlanta became operational for financial reporting purposes. Cousins
owns approximately 204,000 square feet of the center, with the remaining 116,000
square feet separately developed as a Target store which is owned by Dayton
Hudson Corporation. In November 1994, Cousins and CNM purchased an additional
14 acres of land adjacent to Presidential Market, of which 2 acres were sold by
CNM in December 1994. The Company plans to commence construction on
Presidential Market-Phase II on the balance of this land during the first half
of 1995. Presidential Market-Phase II is classified as Land Held for Investment

Market that are zoned retail are actively being marketed as stand alone retail
sites to either be sold or ground leased to tenants. The remaining acreage is
being held for investment or future development.
Colonial Plaza. In February 1995, Cousins commenced construction of
Colonial Plaza, a 543,000 square foot retail power center in suburban north

LAND HELD FOR INVESTMENT AND FUTURE DEVELOPMENT
In addition to the various land located adjacent to operating properties or
projects under construction discussed above, the Company owns the following
significant land holdings either directly or indirectly through joint venture
arrangements. The Company intends to convert its land holdings to income-
producing usage or to sell portions of land holdings as opportunities present
themselves over time.
Spring/Haynes Associates. This general partnership was formed in 1985
between the Company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Coca-Cola, each as 50%
general partners, to jointly own and develop real estate. The Company
contributed 40 acres of undeveloped land at Georgia Highway 400 and Haynes
Bridge Road in north central suburban Atlanta, Georgia. Coca-Cola contributed
11 acres of property in midtown Atlanta. In September 1993, the undeveloped
land at Georgia Highway 400 was distributed to the partners who concurrently
recontributed certain areas of the land into North Point Market Associates,
L.P., a consolidated partnership formed between the partners (see above).
The Company's remaining investment in Spring/Haynes Associates is
$1,603,000 at December 31, 1994.
Temco Associates. Temco Associates was formed in March 1991 as a
partnership between CREC (50%) and a subsidiary of Temple-Inland Inc. (50%).
Temco Associates has an option through March 2006, with no carrying costs, to
acquire approximately 35,000 acres in Paulding County, Georgia (northwest of
Atlanta, Georgia), of which approximately 13,000 acres would be a fee simple
interest and approximately 22,000 acres would be a timber rights interest only.
The option may be exercised in whole or in part over the option period and the
option price of this fee simple land was $655 per acre at December 31, 1994,
escalating at 6% per year during the term of the option. The Temco Associates
property has the potential for future residential, industrial and commercial
development. Temco Associates has to date sold parcels of land as to which it
simultaneously exercised its purchase option. During 1993 and 1994,
approximately 1,100 and 72 acres, respectively of the option related to the fee
simple interest was exercised and simultaneously sold for gross profits of
$305,000 and $243,000, respectively.
OTHER REAL PROPERTY INVESTMENTS
Omni Norfolk Hotel. Norfolk Hotel Associates ("NHA") is a general
partnership formed in 1978 between the Company and an affiliate of Odyssey
Partners, L.P. (an investment partnership), each as 50% partners, which held a
mortgage note on and owned the land under the 442-room Omni International Hotel
in downtown Norfolk, Virginia. In January 1992, NHA terminated the land lease
and became the owner of the hotel and a long-term parking agreement with an
adjacent building owner. In April 1993, the partnership sold the hotel, but
retained its interest in the parking agreement. The Company's share of the gain
on this transaction was approximately $.5 million and is included in Income From
Joint Ventures in the 1993 Consolidated Statement of Income. The partnership
received a mortgage note for a portion of the sales proceeds. In July 1994, NHA
distributed to each partner a 50% interest in the parking agreement held by NHA.
The Company currently receives payments of approximately $206,000 per year for
its 50% interest in the agreement, and has entered into an agreement to sell its
interest for $2 million in July 1996, which would result in a profit to the
Company of approximately $411,000. Additionally, in July 1994, each partner
contributed $2 million to NHA to pay down $4 million in debt.
At December 31, 1994, the Company had an investment of $1,572,000 in NHA.
The Company has also guaranteed a $2.6 million line of credit to NHA under which
$2.4 million had been drawn at December 31, 1994, and its partner has guaranteed
an equal line of credit under which $2.4 million had been drawn at December 31,
1994.
Dusseldorf Joint Venture. In 1992, Cousins entered into a joint venture
agreement for the development of a 133,000 rentable square foot office building
in Dusseldorf, Germany which is 34% preleased to IBM. Cousins' venture partners
are IBM and Multi Development Corporation International B.V. ("Multi"), a Dutch
real estate development company. In December 1993, the building was presold to
an affiliate of Deutsche Bank. CREC and Multi are jointly developing the
building, with CREC receiving fees of approximately $1.4 million ratably over
the development period of January 1994 through June 1995; through December 31,
1994 approximately $931,000 of fees have been received. In addition, the
Company will recognize 30% of the venture's profit or 50% of the venture's loss.
Due to the Company's continuing involvement in the project (see Notes 4 and 5),
all fees and profits are being deferred.
Kennesaw Crossings. The Company owns Kennesaw Crossings, a 116,000 square
foot shopping center in suburban Atlanta, Georgia. The center was constructed
in 1974 on 14 acres of land leased from an unrelated party through 2068. The
Company's net carrying value in Kennesaw Crossings as of December 31, 1994 was
$1.2 million.
Air Rights and Other Property Near the CNN Center. The Company owns a
leasehold interest in the air rights over the approximately 365,000 square foot
CNN Center parking facility in Atlanta, Georgia, adjoining the world
headquarters of Turner Broadcasting System, Inc. and Cable News Network. The
air rights are developable for additional parking or office use. The Company's
net carrying value of this property is $0. The Company also owns 0.8 acres of
additional land proximate to the CNN Center which is currently being used for
surface parking and has a net carrying value of $408,000.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Partners of Wildwood Associates and Green Valley Associates II:
We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of WILDWOOD ASSOCIATES
(a Georgia general partnership) and GREEN VALLEY ASSOCIATES II (a North Carolina
general partnership) as of December 31, 1993 and 1994, and the related combined
statements of income, partners' capital and cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 1994. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the management of the partnerships. Our responsibility is
to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Wildwood Associates and Green
Valley Associates II as of December 31, 1993 and 1994, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1994 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial
statements taken as a whole. The schedule listed in Item 14 is presented for
purposes of complying with the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and is
not part of the basic financial statements. This schedule has been subjected to
the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements
and, in our opinion, fairly states in all material respects the financial data
required to be set forth therein in relation to the basic financial statements
taken as a whole.

WILDWOOD ASSOCIATES AND GREEN VALLEY ASSOCIATES II
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1992, 1993 AND 1994
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
The Combined Financial Statements include the accounts of Wildwood
Associates ("WWA") and Green Valley Associates II ("GVA II"), both of which are
general partnerships. Cousins Properties Incorporated (together with its other
consolidated entities hereinafter referred to as "Cousins") and International
Business Machines Corporation ("IBM") each have a 50% general partnership
interest in both partnerships. The financial statements of the partnerships
have been combined because of the common ownership. The combined entities are
hereinafter referred to as the "Partnerships." All transactions between WWA and
GVA II have been eliminated in the Combined Financial Statements.
COST OF PROPERTY CONTRIBUTED BY COUSINS:
The cost of property contributed or committed to be contributed by Cousins
was recorded by WWA based upon the procedure described in Note 3. Such cost
was, in the opinion of the partners, at or below estimated fair market value at
the time of such contribution or commitment, but was in excess of Cousins'
historical cost basis.
COST CAPITALIZATION:
All costs related to planning, development and construction of buildings,
and expenses of buildings prior to the date they become operational for
financial statement purposes, are capitalized. Interest and real estate taxes
are also capitalized to property under development.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION:
Buildings are depreciated over 25 to 40 years. Furniture, fixtures, and
equipment are depreciated over 5 years. Leasehold improvements and tenant
improvements are amortized over the life of the leases or useful life of the
assets, whichever is shorter. Deferred expenses - which include organizational
costs, certain marketing and leasing costs, and loan acquisition costs - are
amortized over the period of estimated benefit. The straight-line method is
used for all depreciation and amortization.
ALLOWANCE FOR POSSIBLE LOSSES:
The allowance for possible losses provides for potential writeoffs of
certain tenant related assets on WWA' s books. The allowance reflects
management's evaluation of the credit exposure to WWA based on a specific review
of existing tenants and the impact of current economic conditions on those
tenants.
ALLOCATION OF OPERATING EXPENSES:
In accordance with certain lease agreements, certain management and
maintenance costs incurred by WWA are allocated to individual buildings or
tenants, including buildings not owned by WWA.
INCOME TAXES:
No provision has been made for federal or state income taxes because each
partner's proportionate share of income or loss from the Partnerships is passed
through to be included on each partner's separate tax return.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS:
Cash and Cash Equivalents includes all cash and highly liquid money market
instruments. Highly liquid money market instruments include securities and
repurchase agreements with original maturities of three months or less, money
market mutual funds, and securities on which the interest rate is adjusted to
market rate at least every three months.
RENTAL INCOME:
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 13
("SFAS No. 13"), income on leases which include scheduled increases in rental
rates over the lease term is recognized on a straight-line basis.
2. FORMATION AND PURPOSE OF THE PARTNERSHIPS
WWA and GVA II were formed under the terms of partnership agreements
effective May 30, 1985 and March 31, 1988, respectively. The purpose of the
Partnerships is, among other things, to develop and operate the Summit Green
project located in Greensboro, North Carolina, and selected property within
Wildwood Office Park ("Wildwood"), located in Cobb County, Georgia.
Summit Green is a project consisting of one office building and a parts
distribution center totaling approximately 144,000 gross square feet ("GSF")
which was completed in 1986, and land for two additional office buildings not
yet constructed. The two additional buildings are planned to total approximately
240,000 GSF. The 21 acres in the project are leased from a third party by WWA
(see Note 8). GVA II subleases the undeveloped portion of this land from WWA.
Wildwood is an office park containing a total of approximately 289 acres,
of which approximately 73 acres are owned by WWA, and an estimated 31 acres are
committed to be contributed to WWA by Cousins (see Note 3). Cousins owns the
balance of the developable acreage in the park. At December 31, 1994, WWA's
income producing real estate assets in Wildwood consisted of: one office
building of 338,000 GSF which became operational January 1, 1986, one office
building of 684,000 GSF which became operational December 1, 1987 and one office
building of 757,000 GSF which became operational April 1, 1991 (including land
under such buildings totaling approximately 35 acres); land parcels totaling
approximately 13 acres leased to two banking facilities and four restaurants; a
2 acre site on which a child care facility is constructed, and a 1 acre
restaurant site. In addition, WWA's assets include 52 acres of land held for
future development, which is composed of a 5 acre site with approximately 58,000
square feet of office space which was purchased in 1986 for future development
(classified with income producing properties in the accompanying financial
statements), and 47 acres of other land to be developed (including additional
land committed to be contributed by Cousins) (see Note 3).
3. CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE PARTNERSHIPS
IBM and Cousins have each contributed or committed to contribute
$62,857,000 in cash or properties to the Partnerships. The value of property
contributed was agreed to by the partners at the time of formation of WWA.
The status of contributions at December 31, 1994, was as follows ($ in
thousands):
IBM COUSINS TOTAL
------- ------- --------
Cash contributed $46,590 $ 84 $ 46,674
Property contributed 16,267 42,817 59,084
Land committed to be contributed - 19,956 19,956
----------------------------
Total $62,857 $62,857 $125,714
============================
WWA has elected not to take title to the remaining land committed to be
contributed by Cousins until such land is needed for development. However,
Cousins' capital account was previously credited with the amount originally
required to bring it equal to IBM's, and a like amount, plus preacquisition
costs paid by WWA, and condemnation proceeds net of condemnation restoration
costs, were set up as an asset entitled "Land Committed To Be Contributed."
This asset account subsequently has been reduced as land actually has been
contributed, or as land yet to be contributed became associated with a
particular building.
At December 31, 1994, Cousins was committed to contribute land on which an
additional 1,473,691 GSF are developable, provided that regardless of planned
use or density, 38,333 GSF shall be the minimum GSF attributed to each
developable acre contributed. Cousins has also agreed to contribute
infrastructure land in Wildwood, as defined, at no cost to WWA, in order to
provide the necessary land for development of roads and utilities. The ultimate
acreage remaining to be contributed by Cousins will depend upon the actual
density achieved, but would be approximately 31 acres if the density were
similar to that achieved on land contributed to date.
4. OTHER PROVISIONS OF THE PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENTS
Net income or loss and net cash flow, as defined, shall be allocated to the
partners based on their percentage interests (50% each, subject to adjustment as
provided in the partnership agreements).
In the event of dissolution of the Partnerships, the assets will be
distributed as follows:
First, to repay all debts to third parties, including any secured
loans with the partners.
Second, to each partner until each capital account is reduced to zero.
The balance to each partner in accordance with its percentage interest.
WWA pays all real estate taxes on property owned by Cousins which is
subject to future contribution. Such real estate taxes were $194,000, $190,000
and $182,000 in 1992, 1993 and 1994, respectively, all of which were expensed.
5. FEES TO RELATED PARTIES
The Partnerships engaged Cousins to develop and lease the Partnerships'
property, and Cousins Management, Inc. ("CMI"), to manage the Partnerships'
property. In November 1992, Cousins purchased the assets of CMI and assumed all
responsibilities under the management agreement. Fees to Cousins and CMI
incurred by the Partnerships during 1992, 1993 and 1994 were as follows ($ in
thousands):
1992 1993 1994
---- ---- ----
Development and tenant
construction fees $ 63 $ 132 $ 57
Management fees 787 902 909
Leasing and procurement fees 331 523 189
------------------------
$1,181 $1,557 $1,155
========================
6. RENTAL REVENUES
WWA leases property to the partners, as well as to unrelated third parties.
The leases with partners are at rates comparable to those quoted to third
parties. The leases typically contain escalation provisions and provisions
requiring tenants to pay a pro rata share of operating expenses. The leases
typically include renewal options and all are classified and accounted for as
operating leases.
At December 31, 1994, future minimum rentals to be received under existing
non-cancelable leases, including tenants' current pro rata share of operating
expenses are as follows ($ in thousands):

The 2300 Windy Ridge Parkway Building note is secured by the building and
two additional leased commercial properties in Wildwood, which properties had a
net carrying value of approximately $62,300,000 and $60,000,000 at December 31,
1993 and 1994, respectively. The note had been secured by a bank letter of
credit but the requirement was canceled on December 5, 1994. The note was
payable interest only through August 10, 1994, after which it amortizes in equal
monthly installments of $665,108 based on a 30 year amortization schedule, and
matures August 10, 1999.
The 2500 Windy Ridge Parkway Building note is secured by the building,
which had a net carrying value of approximately $21,300,000 and $20,700,000 at
December 31, 1993 and 1994, respectively. The note amortizes in equal monthly
installments of $268,499 based on a 30 year amortization schedule, and matures
June 28, 1996.
The Summit Green Building note is secured by a leasehold mortgage on the
building, which had a net carrying value of approximately $7,900,000 and
$7,600,000 at December 31, 1993 and 1994, respectively. The note amortizes in
equal monthly installments of $95,517 based on a 30 year amortization schedule,
and matures April 1, 1998.
The note related to the 3200 Windy Hill Road building is an unsecured line
of credit under which up to $50,000,000 may be drawn. As amended and restated
as of August 1, 1990, the line of credit matures September 1, 1995, but will
automatically be renewed from year to year unless the lender provides a notice
of non-renewal at least three months in advance of the annual renewal date. The
line generally prohibits new borrowings other than those under the line, or the
pledging of any assets not pledged as of August 1, 1990. The line bears a
floating interest rate equal to the daily federal funds rate plus 3/4%, and
there are no fees or compensating balance arrangements required under the line.
Cousins and IBM have each severally guaranteed one-half of the line of credit.
The Partnerships capitalize interest expense to property under development
as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 34. In the year
ended December 31, 1993, the Partnerships capitalized interest totaling
$108,000. No interest was capitalized during the years ended December 31, 1992
and 1994.
The estimated fair value of the Partnership's $134 million and $133 million
of notes payable at December 31, 1993 and 1994 respectively, is $144 million and
$132 million, respectively, calculated by discounting future cash flows under
the notes payable at estimated rates at which similar notes would be made
currently.
8. GROUND LEASE
All of the land in the Summit Green development is subject to a non-
subordinated ground lease expiring October 31, 2084. Lease payments commenced
December 1, 1986, and are payable in monthly installments at an annual rate of
approximately $322,000 per year for the first ten years. The lease rate
escalates at ten year intervals commencing December 1, 1996, based on the
cumulative increase in the Consumer Price Index ("Index") over the prior ten
year period (subject to a 5% annual cap on the increase in such Index in any one
year); or, at lessor's option, at the end of any ten year interval the property
shall be appraised, and the lessee shall elect to either purchase the land for
the appraised value, or pay annually during the succeeding ten year period 10%
of the appraised fair market value of the land.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
To the Partners of
CSC Associates, L.P. (A Limited Partnership)
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of CSC Associates, L.P. (the
Partnership) as of December 31, 1993 and 1994, and the related statements of
operations, partners' capital, and cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 1994. Our audits also included the financial
statement schedules of CSC Associates, L.P. listed in the Index at Item 14(a).
These financial statements and schedules are the responsibility of the
Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements and schedules based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of CSC Associates, L.P. as of
December 31, 1993 and 1994, and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1994, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial
statements taken as a whole. The applicable schedule listed in Item 14 of
Cousins Properties Incorporated Form 10-K for 1994 is presented for purposes of
complying with the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and is not part of
the basic financial statements. This schedule has been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements, and
in our opinion, fairly states in all material respects the financial data
required to be set forth therein in relation to the basic financial statements
taken as a whole.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1992, 1993 AND 1994
1. FORMATION OF THE PARTNERSHIP AND TERMS OF THE PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT
CSC Associates, L.P. ("CSC," or the "Partnership") was formed under the
terms of a Partnership Agreement effective September 29, 1989. C&S Premises,
Inc. ("Premises"), a wholly owned subsidiary of C&S/Sovran Corporation (the
"Holding Corporation"), and Cousins Properties Incorporated ("CPI"), each own a
1% general partnership and a 49% limited partnership interest in the
Partnership. The Holding Corporation became a wholly owned subsidiary of
NationsBank Corporation on December 31, 1991. The Partnership was formed for the
purpose of developing and owning a 1.4 million gross square foot office tower in
downtown Atlanta, Georgia (the "Building"), which is the Atlanta headquarters of
NationsBank Corporation.
The Partnership Agreement and related documents (the "Agreements") contain
among other provisions, the following:
a. CPI is the Managing Partner.
b. CPI is obligated to contribute a total of $18.2 million cash to the
Partnership, all of which has been contributed. Premises is obligated to
contribute land parcels to the Partnership having an aggregate agreed upon value
of $18.2 million, all of which has been contributed, which property value, in
the opinion of the partners, is equal to the estimated fair market value of the
land at the time of formation of the Partnership. In October 1993, the partners
each contributed an additional $86.7 million.
c. No interest is earned on partnership capital.
d. Net income or loss and cash distributions are allocated to the
partners based on their percentage interests (50% each), subject to a preference
to CPI. The CPI preference is $2.5 million, and accrues to CPI, with interest
at 9% to the extent unpaid, over the period February 1, 1992 through January 31,
1995. During the year ended December 31, 1994, CPI received distributions of
the preference and accrued interest of approximately $2.65 million. The
remaining preference amount of $71,000 was distributed to CPI in January 1995.
Amounts above the preference amount are allocated based on the partners'
percentage interests.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
CAPITALIZATION POLICIES
All costs related to planning, development and construction of the
Building, and expenditures for the Building prior to the date it became
operational for financial statement purposes, have been capitalized. Interest
expense, amortization of financing costs, and real estate taxes were also
capitalized while the Building was under development.
The accompanying financial statements reflect revenues and expenses
subsequent to February 1, 1992, the date the first lease in the building
commenced. For financial reporting purposes, the Building was considered
operational on June 1, 1992. Capitalized operations in the accompanying
statement of operations represent revenues of $4,849,000 and expenses of
$6,241,000 which were capitalized for the period February 1, 1992 through May
31, 1992.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION
Depreciation of the Building commenced the date the Building became
operational for financial statement purposes and the Building is being
depreciated over 40 years. Leasehold and tenant improvements are amortized over
the life of the leases or useful life of the assets, whichever is shorter.
Furniture, fixtures, and equipment are depreciated over 5 years. Deferred
expenses which include organizational costs, certain marketing and leasing
costs, and loan acquisition costs are amortized over the period of estimated
benefit. The straight line method is used for all depreciation and
amortization.
INCOME TAXES
No provision has been made for federal or state income taxes because each
partner's proportionate share of income or loss from the Partnership will be
passed through to be included on each partner's separate tax return.
RENTAL INCOME
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 13
("SFAS No. 13"), income on leases which include increases in rental rates over
the lease term is recognized on a straight-line basis.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current
presentation.
3. LEASES
The Partnership has leased office space to the Holding Corporation, as well
as to unrelated third parties. The lease with the Holding Corporation is at
rates comparable to those quoted to third parties. The leases contain
escalation provisions and provisions requiring tenants to pay a pro rata share
of operating expenses. The leases typically include renewal options and all are
classified and accounted for as operating leases.
At December 31, 1994, future minimum rentals to be received under existing
non-cancelable leases, including tenants' current pro rata share of operating
expenses, are as follows ($ in thousands):

---------------------------------
$262,728 $190,029 $452,757
================================
In the years ended December 31, 1993 and 1994, income recognized on a
straight-line basis exceeded income which would have accrued in accordance with
the lease terms by $3,333,000 and $3,156,000, respectively. At December 31,
1993 and 1994, receivables which related to the cumulative excess of revenues
recognized in accordance with SFAS No. 13 over revenues which accrued in
accordance with the actual lease agreements totaled $5,380,000, and $8,536,000,
respectively. Of that amount, 27% was related to leases with the Holding
Corporation.
4. NOTES PAYABLE
At December 31, 1992, notes payable consisted solely of the amount borrowed
under a Construction Loan Agreement with six banks under which a maximum of $210
million could have been drawn. On October 29, 1993, using capital contributions
made by each partner, the Partnership paid off this note payable, which had an
outstanding balance of $168 million. Approximately $723,000 of deferred loan
costs were written off due to the early extinguishment of this note payable and
is classified as an Extraordinary Item in the accompanying Statements of
Operations. The Construction Loan was payable interest only monthly and had a
floating interest rate equal to LIBOR plus the Applicable Spread Rate. The
Applicable Spread Rate was .85% through May 29, 1992, and .70% through December
31, 1992. The Applicable Spread Rate was reduced to .65% effective January 1,
1993 and .60% effective February 1, 1993 to maturity.
The Partnership entered into an interest rate swap agreement with an
affiliate of Premises which effectively fixed LIBOR at 8.45% through September
1993. The face amount of the swap increased over time in amounts corresponding
to the projected increases in the Construction Loan balance.
The Partnership has an unsecured $5 million line of credit provided by an
affiliate of Premises. Interest on the line is paid at a floating rate (6.3%
weighted average rate in December 1994), and interest only is payable through

HAYWOOD MALL ASSOCIATES
(A SOUTH CAROLINA JOINT VENTURE)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1994, 1993 AND 1992
NOTE A - JOINT VENTURE AGREEMENT
Haywood Mall Associates (the "Venture") is a South Carolina Joint Venture
between Bellwether Properties of South Carolina, L.P. ("BP"), a South Carolina
Limited Partnership, and Cousins Properties, Inc. (hereinafter collectively
referred to as the "Venturers") formed for the purpose of owning and operating a
regional shopping center in Greenville, South Carolina.
Under the terms of the joint venture agreement, the Venturers share equally in
the cash flow and the profits and losses of the Venture.
NOTE B - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Shopping Center: Land and building and improvements are stated at cost.
Depreciation of the building and improvements is computed on the straight-line
method over an estimated useful life of 35 years. The tenants' alterations are
amortized over the life of the related leases. Construction-in-progress at
December 31, 1994 represents costs incurred in connection with expanding the
shopping center which is anticipated to be completed during 1995.
Taxes: No provision has been made for income taxes, since any taxes which may
be payable are the liability of the individual Venturers.
NOTE C - MORTGAGES PAYABLE
The mortgage notes which bore interest at 9% and 10-l/2% and matured in 2000
were prepaid as of April 29, 1994. A prepayment fee equal to 3-1/2% of the
outstanding principal balance was paid in the amount of $680,277.
NOTE D - LEASES
The Venture has a land lease with a base period that extends through the year
2017. Future lease payments due under the lease, at December 31, 1994, are as
follows:
1995 - $ 67,000
1996 - 67,000
1997 - 67,000
1998 - 67,000
1999 - 70,000
Thereafter - 1,346,000
There are five 10-year renewal option periods available beginning in the year
2017. Annual payments during the renewal periods are based upon fair market
value as determined at each renewal date.
Space in the shopping center is leased to retail tenants. Leases generally
provide for minimum rentals plus overage rentals based on the tenants' sales
volume, and also require tenants to pay a portion of real estate taxes and other
property operating expenses. Lease periods generally range from 5 to 15 years
and contain various renewal options.
Future minimum rentals (excluding expenses billable to tenants) to be received
under leases, all of which are classified and accounted for as operating leases
at December 31, 1994 are as follows:
Year Ending December 31:

COUSINS PROPERTIES INCORPORATED AND CONSOLIDATED ENTITIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1992, 1993 AND 1994
1.SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
CONSOLIDATION AND PRESENTATION:
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Cousins
Properties Incorporated ("Cousins") and its majority owned partnerships, as well
as Cousins Real Estate Corporation ("CREC") and its subsidiaries. All of the
entities included in the Consolidated Financial Statements are hereinafter
referred to collectively as the "Company." The Company's investments in its
non-majority owned joint ventures are recorded using the equity method of
accounting. However, the recognition of losses is limited to the amount of
direct or implied financial support. Information regarding the non-majority
owned joint ventures is included in Note 5.
Certain 1992 and 1993 amounts have been reclassified to conform with the 1994
presentation.
INCOME TAXES:
Since 1987, Cousins has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust
("REIT"). As a REIT, Cousins is not subject to corporate federal income taxes
to the extent that it distributes 100% of its taxable income (excluding CREC's
and its wholly owned subsidiaries' consolidated taxable income) to stockholders,
which is Cousins' current intention. The Company computes taxable income on a
basis different from that used for financial reporting purposes (see Note 7).
CREC and its wholly owned subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax
return.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION:
Buildings are depreciated over 30 to 40 years. Furniture, fixtures and
equipment are depreciated over 5 to 15 years. Leasehold improvements and tenant
improvements are amortized over the life of the applicable leases or the
estimated useful life of the assets, whichever is shorter. Deferred expenses
are amortized over the period of estimated benefit. The straight-line method is
used for all depreciation and amortization.
FEE INCOME AND COST CAPITALIZATION:
Development, construction, management, and leasing fees received from
unconsolidated joint ventures are recognized as earned. A portion of these fees
may be capitalized by the joint ventures; however, the Company expenses salaries
and other direct costs related to this income. The Company classifies its share
of fee income earned by unconsolidated joint ventures as fee income rather than
joint venture income for those ventures where the related expense is borne
primarily by the Company rather than the venture.
Development, construction, and leasing fees received by CREC and its
subsidiaries from Cousins and Cousins' majority owned joint ventures are
eliminated in consolidation. Costs related to planning, development, leasing and
construction of properties (including related general and administrative
expenses) are capitalized. The table below shows the fees eliminated, the
internal costs capitalized related to these fees, and the additional internal
costs capitalized by CREC to its own residential developments ($ in thousands):
1992 1993 1994
---- ---- ----
Fees eliminated in consolidation $94 $ 918 $3,019
Internal costs capitalized to projects
on which fees were eliminated $67 $1,107 $1,508
Internal costs capitalized to CREC
residential developments $ - $ 39 $ 292
Interest, real estate taxes, and rental revenues and expenses of properties
prior to the date they become operational are also capitalized for financial
reporting purposes. Interest is also capitalized to investments accounted for
by the equity method when the investee has property under development with a
carrying value in excess of the investee's borrowings. Deferred leasing and
other capitalized costs associated with a particular property are classified
with Properties in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Management fees received from consolidated entities are shown as a reduction
in rental property operating expenses.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS:
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash and highly liquid money market
instruments. Highly liquid money market instruments include securities and
repurchase agreements with original maturities of three months or less, money
market mutual funds, and securities on which the interest or dividend rate is
adjusted to market rate at least every three months. At December 31, 1994, cash
and cash equivalents included $3 million from a property sale held in escrow
pending reinvestment in a tax free exchange.
RENTAL PROPERTY REVENUES:
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 13, income
on leases which include scheduled increases in rental rates over the lease term
is recognized on a straight-line basis.
2.RELATIONSHIP WITH MANAGEMENT ENTITY AND DEVELOPMENT AND LEASING ENTITY
DEVELOPMENT AND LEASING ACTIVITIES - CREC conducts development and leasing
activities for real estate projects. A wholly owned subsidiary of CREC,
Cousins/New Market Development Company, Inc. ("CNM"), develops retail power
centers for the Company. CREC also manages a joint venture property in which it
has an ownership interest. At December 31, 1992, 1993 and 1994 Cousins owned
100% of CREC's $5,025,000 par value 8% cumulative preferred stock and 100% of
CREC's nonvoting common stock, which common stock is entitled to 95% of any
dividends of CREC after preferred dividend requirements. Thomas G. Cousins,
Chairman of the Board of Cousins, owns 100% of the voting common stock of CREC,
which voting common stock is entitled to 5% of any dividends of CREC after
preferred dividend requirements. CREC is included in the Company's Consolidated
Financial Statements, but is taxed as a regular corporation. CREC has paid no
common dividends to date, and for financial reporting purposes, none of CREC's
income is attributable to Mr. Cousins' minority interest because the face amount
of CREC's preferred stock plus accumulated dividends thereon ($7,839,000 in
aggregate) exceed CREC's $2,627,680 of equity.
PROPERTY MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES - Through November 19, 1992, Cousins
Management, Inc. ("CMI") conducted property management activities for Cousins
and certain of its joint ventures. A charitable foundation was the owner of
100% of the nonvoting common stock of CMI, which stock was entitled to 99% of
any dividends. Vipin L. Patel, Senior Executive Vice President of Cousins, was
the owner of 100% of the voting common stock of CMI, which stock was entitled to
1% of any dividends. CMI was an independent contractor and was not included in
the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. CMI received $1,338,000 of
management fees from the Company and its joint ventures in 1992. All personnel
and other costs associated with generating these management fees were absorbed
by CMI.
On November 20, 1992, after receiving a ruling from the Internal Revenue
Service that Cousins' performance of the management activities which had been
conducted by CMI would not affect the status, as qualifying REIT income, of the
rents received from real property owned by Cousins or its joint ventures,
Cousins acquired the assets of CMI and began directly managing properties owned
by Cousins and certain of its joint ventures.
3.NOTES AND OTHER RECEIVABLES
At December 31, 1993 and 1994, notes and other receivables include the
following ($ in thousands):
1993 1994
------- -------
Wildwood Training Facility Mortgage Note $ 18,208 $17,791
9.1% Mortgage Notes 39,927 -
650 Massachusetts Avenue Mortgage Notes - 28,039
Norfolk Hotel Associates Line of Credit 4,624 -
Miscellaneous Notes 80 36
Cumulative rental revenue recognized on a straight-
line basis in excess of revenue which accrued in
accordance with lease terms (see Note 1) 3,735 3,945
Other Receivables 1,612 2,127
Investment in Government Agency Securities 1,269 633
-----------------
Total Notes and Other Receivables $69,455 $52,571
=================
WILDWOOD TRAINING FACILITY MORTGAGE NOTE - This note, which has a face amount
of $25.9 million and matures November 30, 2013, is collateralized by a building
located on land owned by the Company and leased to a limited partnership through
November 30, 2013, with no renewal option. The limited partnership also leased
certain equipment from the Company. The building was 100% leased to
International Business Machines Corporation ("IBM") through November 30, 1993.
In January 1993, the IBM lease was extended through November 30, 1998.
Concurrently with the IBM lease extension, the mortgage note and leases were
also modified, and the Company funded an additional $900,000 under the modified
note during 1993 for building improvements.
The IBM lease generated net cash flow of approximately $3.7 million annually
to the limited partnership through December 31, 1992, of which approximately
$3.6 million was paid to the Company as note and lease payments. Effective
January 1, 1993, the IBM lease generated net cash flow of approximately $2.4
million annually to the limited partnership, of which approximately $2.3 million
was paid to the Company as note and lease payments. Of these amounts, ground
lease payments of $304,000 per year have been treated as rental income in the
accompanying financial statements. The leased land is carried at $0 in the
accompanying financial statements.
For financial reporting purposes, the following accounting treatment was
applied. During the years ended on and before December 31, 1992, payments from
the limited partnership in excess of the ground lease payments were treated as
interest (at 12.7%), principal amortization and deferred income. Cumulative
deferred income of $3.6 million was applied against the note balance at December
31, 1992. During the years ended December 31, 1993 and 1994, the Company
recognized payments as principal amortization over the remaining ground lease
term and interest at 9.235% on the carrying value of the note.
IBM has an option to extend its Training Facility lease from December 1, 1998
through November 30, 2003 on terms that would generate net cash flow to the
limited partnership of approximately $3.1 million annually, of which
approximately $3.0 million would be paid to the Company as note and ground lease
payments.
9.1% MORTGAGE NOTES - These notes, which represented a portion of the sales
proceeds received by the Company on shopping centers it developed and then sold
in 1984, were repaid in full on June 30, 1994. The notes were collateralized by
the shopping center properties, guaranteed by the AT&T Master Pension Trust, and
payable interest only until maturity.
During 1992 and 1993, CREC purchased $8.1 million and $21.7 million
participations, respectively, in the 9.1% mortgage notes from Cousins. These
purchases resulted in Cousins' recognition of gains for tax purposes in 1992 and
1993 of $7.7 million and $20.0 million, respectively, including installment
gains in 1992 and 1993 of $7.2 million and $19.5 million, respectively, which
had been deferred for tax purposes in 1984. Cousins recognized additional
installment gains for tax purposes of approximately $5.0 million upon repayment
of the 9.1% mortgage notes in June 1994.
650 MASSACHUSETTS AVENUE MORTGAGE NOTES - On March 10, 1994, the Company
purchased from the Resolution Trust Corporation ("RTC") two notes aggregating
$37 million at a total cost of approximately $28 million. The two notes, which
resulted from the RTC's restructuring in December 1993 of a $53 million note,
are secured by a first deed of trust on an office building containing
approximately 250,000 square feet located at 650 Massachusetts Avenue, NW, in
Washington, D.C. The notes mature December 31, 2003, at which time their
unamortized balance will be a maximum of approximately $33 million. The notes
require minimum monthly payments totaling $2,818,000 annually, which through the
year 2000, are supported by a U.S. government agency lease. For financial
reporting purposes, the discounted notes are treated as non-amortizing notes,
with the monthly payments treated as interest income at a rate of approximately
10%.
NORFOLK HOTEL ASSOCIATES LINE OF CREDIT - This $4.75 million line of credit,
which was repaid in full on April 25, 1994, was due from Norfolk Hotel
Associates (see Note 5). The interest rate on the line was the daily Federal
funds rate plus 75 basis points with payments of interest only until maturity.
This line of credit had been used by Cousins for temporary investment of excess
cash. Norfolk Hotel Associates repaid the line of credit in full using its
Cousins guaranteed bank line of credit (see Note 4).
FAIR VALUE - The estimated fair value of the Company's $62.8 million and $45.9
million of notes receivable at December 31, 1993 and 1994, respectively, is
$63.8 million and $48.7 million, respectively, calculated by discounting future
cash flows from the notes receivable at the estimated rates at which similar
loans would be made currently.
4.NOTES PAYABLE, COMMITMENTS, AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
At December 31, 1993 and 1994, the composition and scheduled maturities of
notes payable were as follows ($ in thousands):

December 31, 1994 $41,799 $ 536 $40,718 $ 81 $36 $37 $391
================================================
December 31, 1993 $35,151 $30,983 $ 81 $3,587 $81 $36 $383
================================================
At December 31, 1993 and 1994, the carrying value of notes payable
approximates fair value. Interest expense as reported in the Consolidated
Statements of Income included herein is net of interest capitalized of $571,000,
$346,000 and $1,118,000 in 1992, 1993 and 1994, respectively.
The Line of Credit was entered into in July 1994. The line is secured by
Cousins' partnership interest in CSC Associates, L.P., which had a net carrying
value of $105,239,000 at December 31, 1994 (see Note 5). The line bears
interest at the daily Federal funds rate plus .85%, and is payable interest only
through September 30, 1996, at which time the outstanding balance is due. At
December 31, 1994, up to $100,000,000 may be borrowed under the line, which
amount will be reduced by any letters of credit outstanding under the line
($3,200,000 at December 31, 1994).
Certain property (carrying value of $991,000 and $2,563,000 in 1993 and 1994,
respectively), and cash surrender value of life insurance ($311,000 and $328,000
in 1993 and 1994, respectively), are pledged as collateral on the Land Mortgages
and Life Insurance Loans, respectively.
In addition to the above indebtedness, at December 31, 1994, Cousins had
future lease commitments under a land lease aggregating $7.5 million over its
remaining term of 74 years. Current annual lease payments are approximately
$63,000.
Cousins has guaranteed the following debt obligations related to its
unconsolidated joint ventures (see Note 5):
a. Wildwood Associates - One half of a $50 million bank line of credit, under
which $9,000,000 was drawn at December 31, 1994. The line of credit matures
September 1, 1995 but is renewable on an annual basis at the lender's
discretion.
b. Norfolk Hotel Associates - $2,600,000 bank line of credit under which
$2,405,000 was drawn at December 31, 1994. The line of credit matures October
31, 1995.
c. CSC Associates, L.P. - One half of a $5 million bank line of credit used
for working capital under which there was no outstanding balance at December 31,
1994.
d. Dusseldorf Joint Venture - A DEM 4,750,000 (approximately $3.2 million)
letter of credit guaranteeing certain obligations related to the Dusseldorf
project.
The Company has entered into construction and design contracts for real estate
projects, of which approximately $9.0 million remains committed at December 31,
1994.

========================= ======================== =======================
WILDWOOD ASSOCIATES - Wildwood Associates was formed in 1985 between the
Company and IBM, each as 50% partners. The partnership owns three office
buildings totaling 1.6 million rentable square feet, other income producing
commercial properties, and additional developable land in Wildwood Office Park
("Wildwood") in Atlanta, Georgia. Wildwood is an office park containing a total
of approximately 289 acres, of which approximately 73 acres are owned by
Wildwood Associates and an estimated 31 acres are committed to be contributed to
Wildwood Associates by the Company; the Company owns the balance of the
developable acreage in the office park.
Wildwood Associates and a related partnership (included in the amounts for
Wildwood Associates above) also own one office building at Summit Green, an
office project situated on 21 acres of leased land in Greensboro, North
Carolina. Two additional buildings are planned for the project.
Through December 31, 1994, IBM had contributed $46.6 million in cash plus
properties having an agreed value of $16.3 million for its one-half interest in
Wildwood Associates. The Company has contributed $84,000 in cash plus properties
having an agreed value of $42.8 million for its one-half interest in the
partnership, and is obligated to contribute the aforesaid estimated 31 acres of
additional land with an agreed value of $20.0 million. The Company and IBM each
lease office space from the partnership at rates comparable to those charged to
third parties.
The Company's investment as recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets ($3.3
million at December 31, 1994) is based upon the Company's historical cost of the
properties at the time they were contributed or committed to be contributed to
the partnership, whereas its investment as recorded on Wildwood Associates'
books ($46.1 million at December 31, 1994) is based upon the agreed values at
the time the partnership was formed.
CSC ASSOCIATES, L.P. ("CSC") - CSC was formed in 1989 between the Company and
a wholly owned subsidiary of NationsBank Corporation, each as 50% partners. CSC
owns the 1.3 million rentable square foot NationsBank Plaza in Atlanta, Georgia.
The building became operational for financial reporting purposes in June 1992.
In October 1993, the partnership fully repaid all of its debt with equity
contributions of $86.7 million made by each partner.
CSC's net income or loss and cash distributions are allocated to the partners
based on their percentage interests (50% each), subject to a preference to
Cousins. The Cousins preference is $2.5 million (giving Cousins an additional
$1.25 million over what it would otherwise receive), and accrues to Cousins,
with interest at 9% to the extent unpaid, over the period February 1, 1992
through January 31, 1995. Following repayment of the partnership's debt in
October 1993, Cousins began recognizing its accrued preference currently in
income, which resulted in Cousins recognizing $874,000 and $451,000 in income
over what it would have otherwise recognized in the years ended December 31,
1993 and 1994, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 1994, Cousins
received distributions of the preference and accrued interest of approximately
$2.65 million. The remaining preference amount of $71,000 was distributed in
January 1995. Amounts above the preference amount are allocated based on the
partners' percentage interests.
TEN PEACHTREE PLACE ASSOCIATES ("TPPA") - TPPA is a general partnership
between the Company (50%) and a wholly owned subsidiary of The Coca-Cola Company
("Coca-Cola") (50%). The venture owns Ten Peachtree Place, a 259,000 rentable
square foot building located in midtown Atlanta, Georgia. The building is 100%
leased to Coca-Cola through November 30, 2001.
The TPPA partnership agreement generally provides that each of the partners is
entitled to receive 50% of cash flows from operating activities net of note
principal amortization through the term of the Coca-Cola lease, after which the
Company and its partner are entitled to receive 15% and 85% of the cash flows
(including any sales proceeds), respectively, until the two partners have
received a combined distribution of $15.3 million. Thereafter, each partner is
entitled to receive 50% of cash flows.
HAYWOOD MALL ASSOCIATES - Haywood Mall Associates is a joint venture between
the Company and an affiliate of Corporate Property Investors. The venture owns
Haywood Mall, a regional shopping center on 86 acres 5 miles southeast of
downtown Greenville, South Carolina. The mall is currently being expanded from
956,000 gross leaseable square feet ("GLA") (of which the venture's ownership is
approximately 272,000 GLA) to 1,256,000 GLA (of which the venture's ownership
will be approximately 329,000 GLA). The balance of the mall is owned by the
mall's major department stores (four prior to the expansion and five
afterwards).
During the year ended December 31, 1994, the Company contributed $16.1 million
to fund its share of the expansion and the prepayment of an existing 9.37% first
mortgage in May 1994. The venture intends to continue funding the expansion
with additional equity contributions of approximately $6 million from each
partner.
SPRING/HAYNES ASSOCIATES - This general partnership was formed in 1985 between
the Company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Coca-Cola, each as 50% general
partners, to jointly own and develop real estate. The Company contributed 40
acres of undeveloped land at Georgia Highway 400 and Haynes Bridge Road in north
central suburban Atlanta, Georgia. Coca-Cola contributed 11 acres of property
in midtown Atlanta. In September 1993, the undeveloped land at Georgia Highway
400 was distributed to the partners who concurrently recontributed certain acres
of the land into North Point Market Associates, L.P., a consolidated partnership
formed between the partners to own North Point Market (see Note 8). The
Company's remaining investment in Spring/Haynes Associates as recorded in the
Consolidated Balance Sheets ($1.6 million at December 31, 1994) is based upon
the Company's historical cost, whereas its investment as recorded on the
partnership's books ($8.2 million at December 31, 1994) is based upon the agreed
values of the properties at the time they were contributed to the partnership.
NORFOLK HOTEL ASSOCIATES ("NHA") - NHA is a partnership between the Company
and an affiliate of Odyssey Partners, L.P., each as 50% partners, which held a
mortgage note on and owned the land under the Omni International Hotel in
Norfolk, Virginia. In January 1992, NHA terminated the land lease and became
the owner of the hotel and a long-term parking agreement with an adjacent
building owner. In April 1993, the partnership sold the hotel, but retained its
interest in the parking agreement. The Company's share of the gain on this
transaction was approximately $.5 million and is included in Income From
Unconsolidated Joint Ventures in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of
Income. The partnership received a mortgage note for a portion of the sales
proceeds. In July 1994, NHA distributed to each partner a 50% interest in the
parking agreement held by NHA. The Company currently receives payments of
approximately $206,000 per year for its 50% interest in the agreement, and has
entered into an agreement to sell its interest for $2 million in July 1996,
which would result in a profit to the Company of approximately $411,000.
Additionally, in July 1994, each partner contributed $2 million to NHA to pay
down $4 million in debt.
CC-JM II ASSOCIATES - This joint venture was formed in 1994 between the
Company and an affiliate of Carr Realty Corporation, each as 50% general
partners, to develop and own a 224,000 square foot office building in suburban
Washington, D.C. The building will be 100% leased for 15 years to Booz-Allen &
Hamilton, an international consulting firm, as a part of its corporate
headquarters campus, and is scheduled to be completed in 1996 at a total cost of
approximately $32 million. Each partner contributed $2.7 million to the venture
during 1994.
OTHER - This category consists of several other joint ventures including:
COUSINS-HINES PARTNERSHIPS - Through the Cousins-Hines partnerships, CREC
effectively owns 9.8% of the One Ninety One Peachtree Tower in Atlanta, Georgia.
This 1.2 million rentable square foot office building, which opened in December
1990, was developed in partnership with the Hines Interests Limited Partnership
and the Dutch Institutional Holding Company. Because CREC's effective ownership
of this building is less than 20%, the Company accounts for its investment using
the cost method of accounting, and therefore the above tables do not include the
Company's share of One Ninety One Peachtree Tower.
TEMCO ASSOCIATES - Temco Associates was formed in 1991 as a partnership
between the Company (50%) and a subsidiary of Temple-Inland Inc. (50%). Temco
Associates has an option through March 2006, with no carrying costs, to acquire
approximately 35,000 acres in Paulding County, Georgia (northwest of Atlanta,
Georgia), of which approximately 13,000 acres would be a fee simple interest and
approximately 22,000 acres would be a timber rights interest only. The option
may be exercised in whole or in part over the option period, and the option
price of the fee simple land was $655 per acre at December 31, 1994, escalating
at 6% per year during the term of the option. During 1993 and 1994,
approximately 1,100 and 72 acres, respectively, of the option related to the fee
simple interest was exercised and simultaneously sold for gross profits of
$305,000 and $243,000, respectively.
DUSSELDORF JOINT VENTURE - In 1992, the Company entered into a joint venture
agreement for the development of a 133,000 rentable square foot office building
in Dusseldorf, Germany which is 34% preleased to IBM. Cousins' venture partners
are IBM and Multi Development Corporation International B.V. ("Multi"), a Dutch
real estate development company. In December 1993, the building was presold to
an affiliate of Deutsche Bank. CREC and Multi are jointly developing the
building, with CREC receiving fees of approximately $1.4 million ratably over
the development period of January 1994 through June 1995; through December 31,
1994 approximately $931,000 of fees have been received. In addition, the
Company will recognize 30% of the venture's profit or 50% of the venture's loss.
Due to the Company's continuing involvement in the project (see Note 4), all
fees and profits are being deferred until the project's completion and leaseup.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION - At December 31, 1994, total assets of joint ventures
included in the above tables include $469 million of real estate properties
financed by $145 million of mortgage notes.
The Company received $4,342,000, $3,106,000 and $2,539,000 of development,
construction, leasing, and management fees from unconsolidated joint ventures in
1992, 1993 and 1994, respectively.
At December 31, 1993 and 1994, the composition and scheduled maturities of the
Company's 50% share of joint venture debt were as follows ($ in thousands):

The Company's share of interest expense on joint venture debt was $14,334,000,
$13,990,000 and $7,262,000 in 1992, 1993 and 1994, respectively.
6.STOCKHOLDERS' INVESTMENT, STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHT EXPENSE AND
PER SHARE DATA
COMMON STOCK ISSUANCE:
In October 1992 and October 1993, Cousins issued 3,975,000 and 5,800,000
shares of common stock, respectively, through public offerings at prices of
$14.00 and $17.25 per share, respectively. Concurrently with the public
offerings, an additional 400,000 and 300,000 shares, respectively, were
purchased at the public offering price by Thomas G. Cousins, Chairman of the
Board of Cousins.
OPTIONS:
The Company has a stock option plan for key employees. At December 31, 1994,
the Company had granted options to key employees to purchase 1,183,557 shares of
the Company's common stock (including 270,557 shares under a predecessor plan),
and was authorized under the plan to grant an additional 1,084,000 stock
options. The Company may incorporate a provision in each stock option agreement
to allow the option holder to surrender options and request a cash payment for
the difference between the fair market value of the shares at the date of
surrender and the option price. Separately from the stock option plan, the
Company has issued stock appreciation rights ("SARs") to certain employees.
In order to compensate the holders of unexercised stock options for decreases
in the underlying value of shares subject to the options resulting from certain
capital gain distributions to stockholders, the Company issued Deferred Payment
Agreements from 1988 through 1991 to holders of unexercised stock options at the
time of such distributions. These Deferred Payment Agreements provided for a
fixed cash payment to stock option holders upon exercise of the options in an
amount approximately equal to the amount of the capital gain distribution that
would have been payable on the shares subject to the options if the options had
been exercised prior to the record date for the distributions. Holders of SARs
were similarly compensated by a downward adjustment in the price of SARs held by
them.
Financial Accounting Standards Board pronouncements require that all stock
options which have a cash payment election option be accounted for as SARs.
Accordingly, included in the Consolidated Statements of Income under the heading
"stock appreciation right expense" are increases or reductions in accrued
compensation expense to reflect the issuance of new SARs or stock options with
cash payment provisions, vesting, changes in the market value of the common
stock from the dates of grant, and expirations of non-vested options or SARs of
terminated employees. In the first quarter of 1993, the cash payment provision
associated with 374,341 stock options was given up by certain of the option
holders, thereby reducing stock appreciation right expense for 1993 by
approximately $502,000.
The following is a summary of stock option activity under the stock option
plan (amounts in thousands, except per share amounts):

at end of year 455 567
==========
At December 31, 1993, the Company had 382,605 SARs outstanding (of which
142,015 were exercisable) at prices ranging from $9.87 per share to $16.875 per
share. At December 31, 1994, the Company had 369,215 SARs outstanding (of which
225,360 were exercisable) at prices ranging from $10.78 per share to $16.875 per
share.
At December 31, 1993 and 1994, the total amount accrued for stock options,
SARs, and Deferred Payment Agreements was $2,026,000 and $2,296,000,
respectively.
PER SHARE DATA:
Primary income per share is computed by dividing income by the weighted
average number of shares of common stock and dilutive common stock equivalents
outstanding (18,249,306, 22,781,485 and 27,844,341 in 1992, 1993 and 1994,
respectively). Fully diluted income per share does not differ materially from
primary income per share in 1992, 1993 and 1994.
OWNERSHIP LIMITATIONS:
In order to maintain Cousins' qualifications as a REIT, Cousins' Articles of
Incorporation include certain restrictions on the ownership of more than 3.9% of
the Company's common stock.
DISTRIBUTION OF REIT TAXABLE INCOME:
The following is a reconciliation between dividends declared and dividends
applied in 1992 and 1993 and estimated to be applied in 1994 to meet REIT
distribution requirements ($ in thousands):
1992 1993 1994
------- ------- -------
Dividends declared $11,496 $17,204 $25,064

-------------------------
Dividends applied to meet current year REIT distribution requirements $12,025 $16,700 $27,808
=========================
Dividends applied to meet REIT distribution requirements were equal to
Cousins' taxable income (see Note 7). Since electing to qualify as a REIT in
1987, Cousins has had no accumulated undistributed taxable income.
7.INCOME TAXES
In 1992, 1993 and 1994, because Cousins qualified as a REIT and distributed
all of its taxable income (see Note 6), it incurred no federal income tax
liability. The differences between taxable income as reported on Cousins' tax
return (actual 1992 and 1993 and estimated 1994) and Consolidated Net Income as

10. RENTAL PROPERTY REVENUES
The Company's leases typically contain escalation provisions and provisions
requiring tenants to pay a pro rata share of operating expenses. The leases
typically include renewal options and all are classified and accounted for as
operating leases.
At December 31, 1994, future minimum rentals to be received by consolidated
entities under existing non-cancelable leases, including tenants' current pro
rata share of operating expenses, are as follows ($ in thousands):

=============================
For the years ended December 31, 1992, 1993 and 1994, income recognized on a
straight-line basis for financial reporting purposes exceeded income which
accrued in accordance with the lease terms by $804,000, $391,000, and $210,000,
respectively (see Notes 1 and 3). Of the future minimum office rentals, 86% are
attributable to the three major tenants of the Company's First Union Tower
project in Greensboro, North Carolina.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
TO THE STOCKHOLDERS OF COUSINS PROPERTIES INCORPORATED:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Cousins
Properties Incorporated (a Georgia corporation) and consolidated entities as of
December 31, 1993 and 1994, and the related consolidated statements of income,
stockholders' investment and cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 1994. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We did not audit the
financial statements of CSC Associates, L.P. and Haywood Mall Associates which
statements combined reflect assets of 44% and 46% of the joint ventures totals
as of December 31, 1993 and 1994 and revenues of 37%, 41% and 48% of the 1992,
1993 and 1994 joint ventures totals, respectively. Those statements were
audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us and our
opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for those entities as of
December 31, 1993 and 1994 and for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1994, is based solely on the reports of the other auditors.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits and the reports of other auditors provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors, the
financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of Cousins Properties Incorporated and consolidated
entities as of December 31, 1993 and 1994, and the results of their operations
and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December
31, 1994 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994
GENERAL. Historically, the Company's financial results have been
significantly affected by sale transactions and the fees generated by, and
start-up operations of, major real estate developments, which transactions and
developments do not necessarily recur. Accordingly, the Company's historical
financial statements may not be indicative of future operating results. For
information as to certain factors which may affect future income and cash flow,
see "Additional Prospective Information." The notes referenced in the
discussion below are the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" included
in this annual report.
RENTAL PROPERTY REVENUES AND OPERATING EXPENSES. Rental property revenues
decreased from $6,933,000 in 1992 to $6,687,000 in 1993, and then increased to
$13,150,000 in 1994. The increase in 1994 was primarily due to rental property
revenues from Perimeter Expo ($3,022,000 increase), North Point Market Phase I
($1,958,000 increase), and Presidential Market ($117,000 increase). These
retail power centers became operational in December 1993, May 1994 and December
1994, respectively. Also, $400,000 of the increase in 1994 was due to revenue
from 13 acres of the Georgia Highway 400 land being ground leased to
freestanding users. Approximately 6 acres of leases began generating income
during the fourth quarter of 1993, with the remaining 7 acres of leases
beginning throughout 1994.
Rental property revenues were also affected by changes which occurred in the
3301 Windy Ridge Parkway Building, a 107,000 square foot Company wholly owned
building in Wildwood Office Park, which had rental property revenues of
$713,000, $0 and $876,000 in 1992, 1993 and 1994, respectively. This building
was unoccupied for the first three months of 1991, after which it was 80% leased
to IBM from April 1991 through June 1992. Subsequently, commencing January 1994
a single tenant leased the building for a term of ten years. The lease was
initially for 60% of the building, with options permitting the tenant to expand
its occupancy to the remainder of the building over the next several years; the
first such option for an additional 10% of the space was exercised in the fourth
quarter of 1994. Rental property revenues were also favorably impacted over the
three year period by First Union Tower, which had rental property revenues of
$5,302,000, $5,421,000 and $5,522,000 in 1992, 1993 and 1994, respectively.
Rental property operating expenses decreased from $2,354,000 in 1992 to
$2,310,000 in 1993 and then increased to $3,338,000 in 1994. The increase in
1994 was primarily related to the occupancy of the three retail power centers in
1994 and the decrease in 1993 was primarily related to the 3301 Windy Ridge
Parkway Building being unoccupied in 1993.
DEVELOPMENT AND CONSTRUCTION FEES. Development and construction fee income
decreased from $1,744,000 to $898,000 in 1993 and then increased to $1,020,000
in 1994. The increase in 1994 was primarily related to development fees
received from the Emory Conference Center, a third party development ($235,000
increase). This increase was partially offset by a decrease in office tenant
construction activity ($112,000 decrease). The decrease in 1993 was primarily
due to the number of office buildings under development which decreased from one
in 1992 to none in 1993.
Development fees recognized by CNM from third party retail developments was
$590,000 in both 1993 and 1994, partially offsetting the 1993 decrease in office
related fees.
MANAGEMENT FEES. Management fees increased from $498,000 in 1992 to
$1,999,000 and $2,061,000 in 1993 and 1994, respectively. Beginning in November
1992, additional management fees were received from projects previously managed
by CMI, amounting to $194,000 and $1,673,000 in 1992 and 1993, respectively,
(see Note 2). Management fees increased in 1994 primarily due to lease-up of
the projects from which management fees are received.
LEASING AND OTHER FEES AND LEASING AND OTHER COMMISSIONS EXPENSE. Leasing and
other fees increased from $2,711,000 in 1992 to $3,006,000 in 1993, and then
decreased to $1,942,000 in 1994. Both the decrease in 1994 and the increase in
1993 were primarily the result of acquiring the retail development business of
New Market Companies, Inc. ("NMC") in October 1992, which generated leasing and
other fees from third parties. Such fees increased from $49,000 in 1992 to
$1,598,000 in 1993, and then decreased to $796,000 in 1994 as third party work
was phased out and in-house development increased. The increase in 1993 was
partially offset by a decrease in office leasing fees of $1,255,000 due to no
new office buildings generating major tenant leasing fees in 1993. Office
leasing fees also decreased in 1994 by $262,000.
Changes in leasing commission expense were associated primarily with the
changes in leasing fee income recognized from One Ninety One Peachtree Tower and
retail leasing and other fees received from third parties.
RESIDENTIAL LOT AND OUTPARCEL SALES NET OF COST OF SALES. The Company
recognized $370,000 of income in 1994 from sales of residential lots and
outparcels, including $307,000 from the sale of 116 lots by CREC, and $63,000
from the sale of two outparcel sites by CNM.
INTEREST AND OTHER INCOME. Interest and other income decreased from
$6,989,000 in 1992 to $6,456,000 in 1993 and then increased to $6,801,000 in
1994. The increase in 1994 is primarily due to interest income of $2,285,000
being recognized from the purchase of the 650 Massachusetts Avenue Notes in
March 1994 (see Note 3). Additionally, the Company recognized a gain of
$623,000 on the sale of a non-real estate asset in November 1994. Offsetting
these increases in 1994 were decreases in interest income received from the 9.1%
Mortgage Notes ($1,820,000 decrease) and temporary investments ($511,000
decrease). The 9.1% Mortgage Notes were repaid in full on June 30, 1994 (see
Note 3). The decrease in temporary investment income was primarily due to the
Company's investment of its excess cash in real estate assets during 1994.
Between 1992 and 1993, the decrease was primarily due to a $1,088,000 reduction
in interest recognized on the Wildwood Training Facility Mortgage Note (see Note
3). The decrease in 1993 was partially offset by a $403,000 increase in
temporary investment income due to higher average cash balances.
INCOME FROM UNCONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURES. (All amounts reflect the Company's
share of joint venture income.) Income from unconsolidated joint ventures
increased from $2,573,000 in 1992 to $5,516,000 and $12,580,000 in 1993 and
1994, respectively.
Income from CSC Associates, L.P. increased from a loss of $526,000 in 1992 to
income of $201,000 and $6,880,000 in 1993 and 1994, respectively. The Company's
share of both the 1993 and 1994 results benefited by $874,000 and $451,000 in
1993 and 1994, respectively, due to recognition by the Company of a partnership
income preference after the partnership's debt was repaid in October 1993 and
net income became positive (see Note 5). In addition, interest expense was
reduced by approximately $1.8 million and $12.3 million in 1993 and 1994,
respectively because of the partnership's debt prepayment (see Note 5).
Partially offsetting the improvement in 1993 was the benefit in 1992 of the
capitalization of $696,000 of startup losses, and the lack of approximately $.7
million of building depreciation until the building became operational in June
1992. Also mitigating the improvement in 1993 was the write-off of $361,000 of
unamortized loan closing costs upon prepayment of the partnership's debt in
October 1993.
Income from Wildwood Associates increased from $1,152,000 in 1992 to
$2,161,000 and $2,422,000 in 1993 and 1994, respectively, primarily because of
leaseup of the 3200 Windy Hill Road Building (increases of $326,000 and
$143,000 in 1993 and 1994, respectively). Results in 1994 were also favorably
impacted by increased rental income (approximately $139,000) from certain ground
lease sites which began generating revenue during the fourth quarter of 1993 and
second quarter of 1994. Additionally, 1993 was favorably impacted by a deferred
rent payment received on the 2500 Windy Ridge Parkway Building ($161,000) and
less interest expense than in 1992 and 1994 ($195,000 and $92,000,
respectively).
Income from Haywood Mall Associates increased from $1,763,000 in 1992 to
$2,007,000 and $2,474,000, in 1993 and 1994, respectively. The Company's share
of the 1994 results was favorably impacted by the venture's prepayment of its
outstanding debt through equity contributions of $10 million from each partner
on April 29, 1994. Results in 1994 reflect four months of interest expense as
compared to twelve months of interest expense in 1993 ($613,000 decrease).
Partially offsetting this favorable impact of reduced interest expense was a
$340,000 charge incurred related to the prepayment of the venture's mortgage
debt.
Income from Norfolk Hotel Associates increased from $107,000 in 1992 to
$723,000 in 1993, and then decreased to $332,000 in 1994. Income in 1993 was
favorably impacted by a $460,000 gain recognized upon the sale of the Omni
International Hotel in April 1993. Subsequent to the sale, the partnership
recognized more net income from the sales proceeds (including a purchase money
first mortgage note) than it was receiving from hotel operations prior to the
sale.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. General and administrative expenses
increased from $4,585,000 in 1992 to $7,336,000 and $7,538,000 in 1993 and 1994,
respectively. The increase in 1994 was primarily because of personnel increases
related to the Company's expansion, offset by an increase in costs capitalized
to projects under development ($1,800,000 in 1994 versus $1,146,000 in 1993).
The 1993 increase was primarily due to the acquisition in the fourth quarter of
1992 of CMI ($1,029,000 increase over 1992) and the retail development business
of NMC ($1,922,000 increase over 1992 net of costs capitalized to projects under
construction).
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION. Depreciation and amortization increased from
$2,345,000 in 1992 to $3,164,000 and $3,742,000 in 1993 and 1994, respectively.
The 1994 increase is due primarily to three retail power centers, Perimeter
Expo, North Point Market Phase I and Presidential Market, becoming operational
in December 1993, May 1994 and December 1994, respectively ($824,000 increase).
The increase in 1993 was due primarily to an increase of $763,000 in the
amortization of intangible assets acquired from NMC. These intangible assets
are being written off as the related income is recognized. This amortization
decreased in 1994 (approximately $439,000) which partially offset the above
increase in depreciation related to the retail power centers.
STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHT EXPENSE. Stock appreciation right expense decreased
from $860,000 in 1992 to $721,000 and $433,000 in 1993 and 1994, respectively.
This non-cash item is primarily related to the price per share of the common
stock, which increased over the three year period and was $14.50, $16.50 and
$17.375 per share at December 31, 1992, 1993 and 1994, respectively. The cash
payment provision associated with 374,341 stock options was given up by certain
of the option holders in 1993, thereby reducing stock appreciation right expense
by approximately $502,000 (see Note 6).
INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense decreased from $820,000 in 1992 to $0 in
1993, and then increased to $411,000 in 1994. All interest was capitalized in
1993. In 1994, interest expense before capitalization increased to $1,529,000
due to higher debt levels, but the increase was partially offset by increased
capitalization because of a higher level of projects under development.
Interest expense was lower in 1993 than in 1992 primarily because the First
Union Tower line of credit was paid down to $1,000 from October 1992 through
December 30, 1993 with the proceeds from a common stock offering. This reduced
interest expense on the line of credit from $1,250,000 in 1992 to $1,000 in
1993. Partially offsetting the decrease in interest expense in 1993 was the
amount of interest capitalized to projects under development (a reduction of
interest expense), which decreased from $571,000 in 1992 to $347,000 in 1993.
PROPERTY TAXES ON UNDEVELOPED LAND. Property taxes on undeveloped land
increased from $488,000 in 1992 to $537,000 and $1,085,000 in 1993 and 1994,
respectively. The increase in 1994 is due primarily to an increase in property
taxes of the Company's Georgia Highway 400 land ($579,000 increase of which
$150,000 related to a 1993 property tax reassessment).
OTHER EXPENSES. Other expenses increased from $163,000 in 1992 to $1,058,000
in 1993, and then decreased to $922,000 in 1994. Other expenses were negatively
impacted in 1993 because of a $310,000 charge made for the present value of an
indemnification an insurance company in rehabilitation had made to the Company
in 1974, but defaulted on in the third quarter of 1993. This obligation is due
in monthly installments of principal and interest of $3,208 through December
2009. Additionally, predevelopment expenses increased $556,000 in 1993 over
1992, and then decreased $244,000 in 1994 from the 1993 level.
PROVISION (BENEFIT) FOR INCOME TAXES FROM OPERATIONS. The provision (benefit)
for income taxes from operations decreased from a provision of $360,000 in 1992
to a benefit of $795,000 in 1993, which benefit decreased in 1994 to $166,000.
The benefit for income taxes from operations decreased from 1993 to 1994 due
primarily to a decrease in CREC and its subsidiaries' net loss before income
taxes from $2,238,000 in 1993 to $582,000 in 1994. The decrease in CREC and its
subsidiaries' net loss before income taxes was due to an increase in
intercompany development and leasing fees recognized, and decreased intangible
amortization. Intercompany fee income is eliminated in consolidation (see Note
1), but the tax effect is not. In 1993, CREC and its subsidiaries had a higher
net loss than in 1992 due to a reduction in CREC's fee income and higher
expenses resulting from the acquisition of the retail development business of
NMC.
GAIN ON SALE OF INVESTMENT PROPERTIES. Gain on sale of investment properties
was $6,644,000, $1,927,000 and $6,356,000 in 1992, 1993 and 1994, respectively.
The 1994 gain included the following: the June 1994 sale of the Company's 9
acre Peachtree Road property ($3.3 million gain), the August 1994 sale of the
10.8 acre site in North Point Market Phase II ($1.8 million gain), and the
November 1994 sale of a 21 acre parcel in West Cobb County, Georgia ($1.3
million gain). The 1993 gain and $6.0 million of the 1992 gain was from profits
recognized on the sale of 100 acres in 1988 at North Point; the Company
recognized profits on this sale based on percentage of completion accounting as
certain infrastructure work required by the sales contract was completed in 1992
and 1993. The balance of the 1992 gain was from the sale of a 27 acre parcel in
West Cobb County Georgia. Net proceeds received from land sales were
$1,084,000, $0 and $9,793,000 in 1992, 1993 and 1994, respectively.
ADDITIONAL PROSPECTIVE INFORMATION
The Company opened two retail power centers during 1994, North Point Market in
May 1994 and Presidential Market in December 1994. Cash flows from operating
activities from these two retail power centers will increase in 1995 as the
Company recognizes a full year of operations.
The Company's share of cash flows from operating activities from CSC
Associates, L.P. will increase in 1995 as leases at NationsBank Plaza executed
in 1994 impact operating results.
Development fees are expected to decrease in 1995 as the Company's involvement
with third party development decreases and its development capacity is shifted
almost entirely to Company owned projects. As the Company begins to increase
the level of work on internal projects, internal fees (which are eliminated in
consolidation) and capitalized development overhead are expected to increase in
1995.
Interest expense will increase in 1995 as projects that have been under
construction become operational and associated interest expense is no longer
capitalized.
In addition to being a 50% partner in Wildwood Associates, IBM is a major
tenant in Wildwood Office Park and Summit Green. IBM has undergone a downsizing
and is making a portion of its leased space available to new tenants. This has
provided Cousins with a marketing advantage by allowing cash flow to be
maintained, while making space available to prospective tenants for extended
leases on very competitive lease terms.
The following is a breakdown as of December 31, 1994, of the office space
leased by IBM (square feet in thousands):

*12 square feet expired December 1994.
Major tenants in the re-leased space included Coca-Cola Enterprises (140,000
square feet) and Georgia Pacific (63,000 square feet). Letters of intent have
been signed for an additional 70,000 square feet of space, and the Company is
negotiating with two prospective tenants for an additional 140,000 square feet
of space.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's debt (including its pro rata share of unconsolidated joint
venture debt) was only 20% of total market capitalization at December 31, 1994,
giving the Company excellent financial flexibility.
The Company has development projects in various planning stages. The Company
currently intends to finance these projects, projects currently under
construction and capital contributions to various joint ventures discussed in
Notes 5 and 8 of "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements", by using existing
lines of credit, (increasing those lines of credit as required), and long-term
non-recourse financing on the Company's unleveraged projects as market
conditions warrant.
EFFECTS OF INFLATION
The Company attempts to minimize the effect of inflation on income from
operating properties by the use of rents tied to tenants' sales, periodic fixed-
rent increases and increases based on cost-of-living adjustments, and/or pass-
through of operating cost increases to tenants.

The Company's stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange (ticker symbol CUZ).
At December 31, 1994, there were 1,139 stockholders of record.
In 1993, the Company designated all dividends as capital gain dividends. In
1994, the Company designated as capital gain dividends 42.1818% of the dividend
paid February 22, 1994 and all of the dividends paid May 27, 1994. All other
dividends paid in 1994 were taxable as ordinary dividends. In addition, in 1993
and 1994 an amount calculated as 5.26% and 3.73% of total dividends,
respectively, was an "adjustment attributed to depreciation of tangible property
placed in service after 1986" for alternative minimum tax purposes. This amount
was passed through to stockholders and must be used as an item of adjustment in
determining each stockholder's alternative minimum taxable income.
ABOUT YOUR DIVIDENDS
TIMING OF DIVIDENDS - Cousins normally pays regular dividends four times each
year in February, May, August and December. However, the timing of the last
dividend from year to year may cause stockholders to receive as few as three and
as many as five regular dividends in any year. Depending upon taxable income
(see below), special dividends may also be declared in some years, and may be
payable at the same time or separately from regular dividends.
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN NET INCOME AND CASH DIVIDENDS DECLARED - Cousins' current
intention is to distribute 100% of its taxable income and thus incur no
corporate income taxes. However, Consolidated Net Income for financial
reporting purposes and Cash Dividends Declared will generally not be equal for
the following reasons:
a. There will continue to be considerable differences between Consolidated Net
Income as reported to stockholders (which includes the income of a consolidated
non-REIT entity that pays corporate income taxes) and Cousins' taxable income.
The differences are enumerated in Note 7 of "Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements."
b. For purposes of meeting REIT distribution requirements, dividends may be
applied to the calendar year before or after the one in which they are declared.
The differences between dividends declared in the current year and dividends
applied to meet current year REIT distribution requirements are enumerated in
Note 6 of "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements."
CAPITAL GAINS DIVIDENDS - In some years, as it did in 1992, 1993 and 1994,
Cousins will have taxable capital gains, and Cousins currently intends to
distribute 100% of such gains to stockholders. The Form 1099-DIV sent by
Cousins to stockholders of record each January shows total dividends paid
(including the capital gains dividends) as well as that which should be reported
as a capital gain. For individuals, the capital gain portion of the dividends
is subtracted from total dividends on Schedule B of IRS Form 1040 and reported
separately as a capital gain in accordance with the Schedule B instructions.
TAX PREFERENCE ITEMS AND "DIFFERENTLY TREATED ITEMS" - Internal Revenue Code
Section 59(d) requires that certain corporate tax preference items and
"differently treated items" be passed through to a REIT's stockholders and
treated as tax preference items and items of adjustment in determining the
stockholder's alternative minimum taxable income. The amount of this adjustment
is included under "Market and Dividend Information" in this report.
Tax preference items and adjustments are includable in a stockholder's income
only for purposes of computing the alternative minimum tax. These adjustments
will not affect a stockholder's tax filing unless that stockholder's alternative
minimum tax is higher than that stockholder's regular tax. Stockholders should
consult their tax advisors to determine if the adjustment reported by Cousins
affects their tax filing. Many stockholders will find that the adjustment
reported by Cousins will have no effect on their tax filing unless they have
other large sources of alternative minimum tax adjustments or tax preference
items.
