Cousins Properties Incorporated
Form 10-K/A (Amendment No. 1)
For the Year Ended December 31, 2003

Explanatory Note

This Form 10-K/A is being filed to reflect the restatement for the consolidated statements of cash flows as discussed in Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Historically, Cousins Properties Incorporated (“the Company”), presented the cash flows used in the acquisition and development of land that is subsequently subdivided and sold as investing activities. The Company changed its classification of these cash flows to operating activities as the land is acquired and developed primarily for sale to third parties. As a result, the Company has restated its consolidated statements of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 in this Form 10-K/A (Amendment No. 1), revised its discussion within Management’s Discussion and Analysis in Item 7 of this report, and revised its discussion within Item 9A of this report. This change does not affect the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of income, or net changes in cash and cash equivalents for any of the periods presented.

On November 9, 2004, the Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K that revised its Consolidated Financial Statements, Management’s Discussion and Analysis and Results of Operations and Selected Financial Data, which appeared in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003 originally filed on March 12, 2004. In its revised financial statements, the Company reclassified income and expenses associated with properties considered “held for sale” into a single line item, discontinued operations, on the consolidated statements of income for all periods presented, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” In this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A (Amendment No. 1), the Company has reclassified the income and expenses associated with properties held for sale consistent with the presentation in the Form 8-K referred to above.

This Form 10-K/A (Amendment No. 1) restates the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003 in its entirety. No attempt has been made in this amendment to modify or update the disclosures in the original Form 10-K except to give effect to the changes noted above. As a result, this Form 10-K/A (Amendment No. 1) contains forward-looking information which has not been updated for events subsequent to the date of the original filing, and the Company directs you to its Securities and Exchange Commission filings made subsequent to the original filing date for additional information.

(a)		Gross leasable area leased as of December 31, 2003 out of approximately 600,000 total gross leasable area.

(b)		Annual contractual rent excludes the operating expense reimbursement portion of the rent payable and any percentage rents due. If the lease does not provide for pass through of such operating expense reimbursements, an estimate of operating expenses is deducted from the rental rate shown. The contractual rental rate shown is the estimated rate in the year of expiration.

(c)		Gross leasable area leased as of December 31, 2003 out of approximately 1,286,000 total gross leasable area.

The weighted average remaining lease term of the retail portfolio (excluding the properties currently under construction and/or in lease-up) was approximately seven years as of December 31, 2003. Most of the Company’s leases in these retail properties provide for pass through of operating expenses to its tenants and contractual rents which escalate over time.

Residential/Land Division. The Company’s other real estate holdings include interests in over 280 acres of strategically located land held for investment or future development at North Point and Wildwood Office Park and the option to acquire the fee simple interest in approximately 7,100 acres of land through its Temco Associates joint venture, among other holdings.

Significant Changes in 2003

Significant changes in the Company’s business and properties during the year ended

December 31, 2003 were as follows:

Office Division. The Company sold AT&T Wireless Services Headquarters, a 222,000 rentable square foot office building, and Cerritos Corporate Center — Phase II, a 105,000 rentable square foot office building (collectively called “Cerritos”), in a single transaction in the second quarter of 2003.

In December 2003, the Company purchased the remaining interest in 100 and 200 North Point Center East from CP Venture Two LLC (see Note 5). The purchase price was equal to the outstanding balance of its mortgage note payable at the time of sale, or $22.4 million. The mortgage note payable bears interest at 7.86% and matures August 1, 2007.

Retail Division. CP Venture Three LLC (see Note 5) sold Mira Mesa MarketCenter, a 480,000 square foot retail center in San Diego, California, in the second quarter of 2003.

Presidential MarketCenter (“Presidential”), a 374,000 rentable square foot retail center in Atlanta, Georgia, was sold in the third quarter of 2003. The purchaser assumed the Presidential mortgage note payable in the sale. Also, in the third quarter of 2003, the Company sold Perimeter Expo (“Expo”), a 176,000 square foot retail center in Atlanta, Georgia. The Expo note payable was re-collateralized as corporate, unsecured debt and not repaid.

In October 2003, The Avenue West Cobb, a 205,000 square foot retail center in Atlanta, Georgia, became partially operational for financial reporting purposes. In December 2003, the Company purchased approximately eight acres of land adjacent to The Avenue West Cobb, which could be utilized for future development. Also in December 2003, The Shops of Lake Tuscaloosa, a 62,000 square foot retail center in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, became partially operational for financial reporting purposes.

In October 2003, the Company purchased approximately 58 acres of land in Brevard County, Florida, for the development of The Avenue Viera, a 408,000 square foot retail center, of which the Company owns 333,000 square feet, in Viera, Florida. Construction commenced on this center in December 2003.

Land Division. The Company is developing two residential communities in suburban Atlanta, Georgia and one in Pine Mountain, Georgia. Approximately 1,151 lots are being developed within these three communities, of which 214, 137 and 1 lots were sold in 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. In 2002 and 2001, the Company also sold 49 and 120 lots, respectively, at residential developments in which all the lots have been sold. The Company’s share of lots sold at joint ventures was 277, 145 and 117 for 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The Company also entered into new joint venture arrangements in 2003 for the development of residential communities. See the “Residential Lots Under Development” table in Item 2 for more detail.

In September 2003, the Company sold approximately 10.5 acres of Company-owned land in Wildwood Office Park for a net gain of approximately $1,947,000. In December 2003, the Company sold approximately 42 acres of North Point West Side land for a net gain of approximately $5,323,000.

Financings. In May 2003, Crawford Long — CPI, LLC, an entity in which the Company owns a 50% interest, obtained a $55 million mortgage note payable. The note has a maturity date of June 1, 2013 and an interest rate of 5.9%. A distribution of approximately $25.8 million was made to the Company in 2003 for its share of the proceeds from this mortgage.

Stock Repurchase Plan

In November 2001, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted a stock repurchase plan authorizing the repurchase of up to five million shares of common stock prior to January 1, 2004 (see Note 6). During January 2003, the Company purchased an additional 234,100 shares at an average price of $23.66 per share. As of December 31, 2003, the Company had repurchased a total of 2,691,582 shares for an aggregate price of $64,893,935.

Subsequent Event

The Mirant Corporation (“Mirant”), leased 99% of 1155 Perimeter Center West, which is owned by 285 Venture, LLC. The Company owns 50% of 285 Venture, LLC. Mirant declared

bankruptcy during 2003. In January 2004, the Mirant lease was renegotiated and Mirant reduced its amount of leased space, the term of its lease and its rental rate. The Company is actively attempting to re-lease the vacated space, but the impact on income of 285 Venture, LLC in 2004 and beyond is not known at this time.

Environmental Matters

Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, an owner or operator of real estate is generally liable for the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances on or in such property. Such laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of such hazardous or toxic substances. The presence of such substances, or the failure to remediate such substances properly, may subject the owner to substantial liability and may adversely affect the owner’s ability to develop the property or to borrow using such real estate as collateral. The Company is not aware of any environmental liability that the Company’s management believes would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, assets or results of operations.

Certain environmental laws impose liability on a previous owner of property to the extent that hazardous or toxic substances were present during the prior ownership period. A transfer of the property does not relieve an owner of such liability. Thus, although the Company is not aware of any such situation, the Company may be liable in respect of properties previously sold.

In connection with the development or acquisition of certain properties, the Company has obtained Phase One environmental audits (which generally involve inspection without soil sampling or ground water analysis) from independent environmental consultants. The remaining properties (including most of the Company’s land held for investment or future development) have not been so examined. No assurance can be given that environmental liabilities do not exist, that the reports revealed all environmental liabilities, or that no prior owner created any material environmental condition not known to the Company.

The Company believes that it and its properties are in compliance in all material respects with all federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations regarding hazardous or toxic substances.

Competition

The Company’s properties compete for tenants with similar properties located in our markets primarily on the basis of location, rental rates, services provided and the design and condition of the facilities. The Company also competes with other real estate companies, financial institutions, pension funds, partnerships, individual investors and others when attempting to acquire and develop properties. The Land Division also competes with other lot developers.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain matters contained in this report are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws and are subject to uncertainties and risks. These include, but are not limited to, general and local economic conditions, local real estate conditions, the activity of others developing competitive projects, the cyclical nature of the real estate industry, the financial condition of existing tenants, interest rates, the Company’s ability to obtain favorable financing or zoning, environmental matters, the effects of terrorism, the failure of assets under contract for sale to ultimately close, and other risks detailed from time to time in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on December 10, 2003. The words “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Although the Company believes that its plans, intentions and expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are

reasonable, the Company can give no assurance that such plans, intentions or expectations will be achieved. Such forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and speak as of the date of such statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of future events, new information or otherwise.

Additional Information Related to Operating Properties

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 had been leased by the partnership to IBM through November 30, 1998.

Effective January 1, 1997, the IBM lease was extended eight years beyond its previous expiration, to November 30, 2006. Based on the economics of the lease, the Company will receive substantially all of the economic risks and rewards from the property through the term of the IBM lease. In addition, the Company will receive substantially all of the future economic risks and rewards from the property beyond the IBM lease because of the short term remaining on the land lease (seven years as of January 1, 1997) and the large mortgage note balance ($25.9 million as of January 1, 1997) that would have to be paid off, with interest, in that seven-year period before the limited partnership would receive any significant benefit. Therefore, effective January 1, 1997, the $17,005,000 balance of the mortgage note and land was reclassified to Operating Properties, and revenues and expenses (including depreciation) from that point forward have been recorded as if the building were owned by the Company.

Development had been mainly concentrated on the land located east of Georgia Highway 400, until July 1998 when the Company commenced construction of the first building, AtheroGenics, on the west side. The land on the west side has been rezoned to mixed use to include residential as well as office and commercial. The Company sold 42 acres of land on the west side in December 2003.

After EOP recovers its preferred return, the partners share in any operating cash flow distributions in accordance with their percentage interests. The Company has not recognized any income from its share of the operations of One Ninety One Peachtree Tower to date.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The accompanying Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations has been updated to reflect the restatement discussed in Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

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. The notes referenced in the discussion below are the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” included in this Annual Report.

2003 Highlights.

	•	Sold four properties for $258.6 million, generating Gain on Sale of Investment Properties for Discontinued Operations of $93.5 million.

	•	Recognized Gain on Sale of Investment Properties of $90.0 million, which was previously deferred, upon distribution of proceeds from the aforementioned sale of one of the properties.

	•	Paid a special dividend of $100.5 million, or $2.07 per share, to common stockholders as a result of proceeds from aforementioned property sales.

	•	Completed a preferred stock offering which generated net proceeds of $96.3 million.

	•	Sold approximately 53 acres of land held for investment for net gains totaling $7.3 million.

	•	Opened The Avenue West Cobb and The Shops of Lake Tuscaloosa.

	•	Commenced development of The Avenue Viera and 11 new residential developments, including developments owned in joint ventures.

	•	Acquired 100 and 200 North Point Center East for assumption of approximately $22.4 million of debt in December 2003.

	•	Received $24.7 million of lease termination fees while maintaining a 91% overall leased percentage at December 31, 2003.

Overview of 2003 Performance and Company and Industry Trends. In 2003 the Company continued to experience weakness in its office tenant base, with a number of early lease terminations. While this generated substantial one-time termination fees in 2003, management believes that it presents leasing challenges going forward. We expect that these terminations will impact revenues from our Office Division in 2004. Although the Company’s office portfolio closed the year at an average leased level of 91%, significant vacancy does exist in all of the major office markets, and the Company believes it will take several years for these markets to return to healthy vacancy numbers. The Company believes that market indicators for the economy show improvement. The Company also believes that job growth, a critical factor for office demand, is returning, especially in our most important market of Atlanta. Reported job growth in Atlanta has been among the highest in the nation. Management believes that deterioration in its office markets may be subsiding and that they could begin to improve in 2004.

While office supply and demand fundamentals generally were weak in 2003, quality office and retail assets continued to garner attractive pricing in sales transactions. Management believes this is due to real estate gaining greater investor acceptance, both from institutional investors and from private and individual investors. Management believes that this trend will offer support to real estate pricing and REITs in the future. Real estate investment was also positively affected in 2003 by low interest rates that allowed many buyers to obtain more favorable financing terms for properties than in past years.

The Company took advantage of the favorable pricing in the asset markets by selling a number of its properties in 2003. These included several retail assets at attractive prices and some office assets, as well. The Company’s primary mission is to create stockholder value through development. These assets had reached values that in management’s judgment may not have been sustained. A core principle of the Company is to actively manage its portfolio of properties and to realize value it has created at appropriate times. This value can then be invested in new value creation projects or returned to the stockholders if the Company has sufficient other funds to support future investments. This trend of favorable pricing appears to be continuing in 2004 with favorable pricing being available for a number of the Company’s office assets. The Company may sell additional assets, including office assets, in 2004.

In 2003 the Company distributed a $100.5 million, or $2.07 per share, special dividend to its common stockholders following certain asset sales. Management believes that the Company has sufficient other funds and availability to finance its anticipated future investment needs. If the Company does sell additional assets in 2004, it will again consider a special dividend after analyzing its future capital needs.

The Company’s fundamental retail business performed well in 2003. There were few tenant problems in the retail portfolio and the Company was able to maintain a leased level of 93%. Management believes it has a strong “shadow”

pipeline of new potential retail development projects. These include Avenueâ projects, power centers and grocery anchored centers. The Company hopes to begin a number of these projects in 2004.

The Company’s Land Division improved in 2003 and increased its contribution to earnings in 2003 as compared to 2002. The Company also added a number of new residential lot development deals to its pipeline, which management expects to contribute to future performance. Management expects this group’s contribution to continue to grow in 2004.

Forward-Looking Statements. Certain matters contained in this report are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws and are subject to uncertainties and risks. These include, but are not limited to, general and local economic conditions, local real estate conditions, the activity of others developing competitive projects, the cyclical nature of the real estate industry, the financial condition of existing tenants, interest rates, the Company’s ability to obtain favorable financing or zoning, environmental matters, the effects of terrorism, the failure of assets under contract for sale to ultimately close, and other risks detailed from time to time in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on December 10, 2003. The words “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Although the Company believes that its plans, intentions and expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company can give no assurance that such plans, intentions or expectations will be achieved. Such forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and speak as of the date of such statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of future events, new information or otherwise.

Critical Accounting Policies. A critical accounting policy is one which is both important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results of operations and requires significant judgment or complex estimation processes. As the Company is in the business of developing, owning and managing office and retail real estate properties and developing single-family residential communities which are parceled into lots and sold to various home builders, its critical accounting policies relate to cost capitalization, impairment of long-lived assets, depreciation and amortization, residential lot and land tract sales profit recognition and valuation of receivables.

The Company expenses predevelopment costs incurred on a potential project until it becomes probable that the project will go forward. After a project becomes probable, all subsequently incurred predevelopment costs, as well as interest, real estate taxes and certain internal personnel and associated costs directly related to the project under development are capitalized. If the project’s probability comes into question, a reserve may be placed on the assets. If the decision is made to abandon development of a project that had been deemed probable, all previously capitalized costs are expensed or the project is written off against the reserve, if one was established. Therefore, a change in the probability of a project could result in the expensing of significant costs incurred for predevelopment activity. Furthermore, if a project is developed, a change in the estimated time and cost of construction could adversely impact the return on the project and the amount of value created from the development of the project.

The Company periodically evaluates its real estate assets to determine if there has been any impairment in their carrying values and records impairment losses if the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amounts. The evaluation of real estate assets involves many subjective assumptions dependent upon future economic events that affect the ultimate value of the property. For example, future cash flows from properties are estimated using expected market rental rates, anticipated leasing results and potential sales results. A change in assumptions concerning future economic events could result in an adverse change in the value of a property and cause an impairment to be recorded. The Company has analyzed all real estate assets that had indicators of impairment and has determined that the carrying value of all real estate assets on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets does not exceed undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets, and no impairment losses were required to be recorded. Unconsolidated joint ventures follow the same impairment assessment as the Company.

Real estate assets are depreciated or amortized over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method of depreciation. Management uses its judgment when estimating the life of the real estate assets and when allocating the cost of acquired properties. Historical data, comparable properties and replacement costs are some of the factors considered in determining useful lives and cost allocations. If management incorrectly estimates the useful lives of the Company’s real estate assets or if cost allocations are not appropriate, then depreciation and amortization may not be reflected properly in the Company’s operations.

In its determination of the gross profit percentages to be applied to its residential lot or land tract sales in order to calculate the profits to be recognized on these sales, the Company utilizes several estimates. Gross profit percentages are calculated based on the estimated lot sales prices and the estimated costs of the development or on the estimated total land tract sales and any estimated development or improvement costs. The Company must estimate the prices of the lots or land tracts to be sold, the costs to complete the development of the residential community or the land improvements and the time period over which the lots or land tracts will ultimately be sold. If the Company’s estimated lot or land tract sales or costs of development, or the assumptions underlying either, were to be revised or be rendered inaccurate, it would affect the gross profit percentages and overall profit recognized on these sales.

Receivables, including straight-line rent receivables, are reported net of an allowance for doubtful accounts and may be uncollectible in the future. The Company performs credit reviews and analyses on its tenants and reviews its receivables regularly for potential collection problems in computing the allowance recorded against its receivables. This review process requires the Company to make certain judgments regarding collectibility notwithstanding the fact that ultimate collections are inherently difficult to predict. A change in the judgments made could result in an adjustment to the allowance for doubtful accounts with a corresponding effect to net income.

Results of Operations For The Three Years Ended December 31, 2003

Rental Property Revenues. Rental property revenues increased from $94,281 in 2001 to $97,290 in 2002 and $101,413 in 2003.

2003

Rental property revenues from the Company’s office division increased approximately $1,397,000 in 2003. Contributing to the increase in rental property revenues from the office division was an increase of approximately $1,035,000 from The Points at Waterview, as lease-up occurred at the property and average economic occupancy increased from 45% in 2002 to 84% in 2003. Partially offsetting the increase was a decrease in rental property revenues from 333 North Point Center East of approximately $961,000 in 2003 due to a decrease in average economic occupancy from 96% in 2002 to 60% in 2003, as certain tenants’ leases expired and were not renewed and the space had not yet been re-leased.

Rental property revenues from the Company’s retail division increased approximately $2,702,000 in 2003. The Avenue West Cobb became partially operational for financial reporting purposes in October 2003, which contributed approximately $896,000 to the increase. Rental property revenues from The Avenue of the Peninsula increased approximately $722,000 in 2003, mainly due to the recognition of termination fees and percentage rents during the year. Additionally, rental property revenues from The Avenue East Cobb increased approximately $631,000, mainly due to the recognition of termination fees during the year.

2002

Rental property revenues from the Company’s office division increased approximately $678,000 in 2002. 1900 Duke Street became partially operational in October 2000, which contributed approximately $436,000 to the 2002 increase. Also contributing to the increase in rental property revenues from the office division in 2002 was an increase of approximately $554,000 from Meridian Mark Plaza, as its average economic occupancy increased from 94% in 2001 to 99% in 2002, and an increase of approximately $443,000 from Inforum, primarily due to lease termination fees received from two tenants. Additionally, rental property revenues increased approximately $483,000 from the 3301 Windy Ridge Parkway Building due to the renewal of the single tenant’s lease at a higher rental rate beginning May 2001. The increase in rental property revenues was partially offset by a decrease of approximately $1,178,000 from The Points at Waterview, as its average economic occupancy decreased from 73% in 2001 to 45% in 2002.

Rental property revenues from the Company’s retail portfolio increased approximately $2,331,000 in 2002. Rental property revenues increased approximately $2,282,000 from The Avenue Peachtree City due both to the property becoming partially operational for financial reporting purposes in April 2001 and to the recognition of a termination fee of approximately $719,000 in 2002. Substantially all of the square feet terminated at The Avenue Peachtree City was re-leased. An increase in the average economic occupancy of The Avenue of the Peninsula from 75% in 2001 to 80% in 2002 also contributed approximately $1,295,000 to the increase in rental property revenues. Rental property revenues decreased approximately $990,000 in 2002 due to the February 2001 sale of Colonial Plaza MarketCenter, which partially offset the increase in rental property revenues.

Rental Property Operating Expenses. Rental property operating expenses increased from $30,505,000 in 2001 to $30,613,000 and $32,674,000 in 2002 and 2003, respectively. The increases in both 2002 and 2003 were due primarily to the aforementioned office buildings and retail centers being leased-up or becoming partially operational for financial reporting purposes. The increases in rental property operating expenses were partially offset by approximately $500,000 in 2002 from the aforementioned decrease in average economic occupancy at The Points at Waterview.

Development Income. Development income decreased from $6,179,000 in 2001 to $4,625,000 and $2,870,000 in 2002 and 2003, respectively. Development income and tenant construction fees decreased approximately $493,000 in 2003 from the Crawford Long — CPI, LLC joint venture, as construction of the Emory Crawford Long Medical Office Tower was substantially completed in February 2002. Development fees from third party projects also decreased approximately $1,426,000 primarily due to the wind down of three significant third party office projects and two retail projects, partially offset by an increase from a third party retail project.

Development income decreased approximately $1,166,000 in 2002 from CPI/FSP I, L.P., as construction of Austin Research Park — Buildings III and IV was completed. Development income also decreased approximately $727,000 in 2002 from Crawford Long – CPI, LLC, as construction of the Emory Crawford Long Medical Office Tower was substantially completed in February 2002. Additionally, development income decreased approximately $215,000 in 2002 from 285 Venture, LLC, as construction of 1155 Perimeter Center West was completed in 2001. The decrease in development income in 2002 was partially offset by an increase in third party development and advisory services of approximately $687,000.

Management Fees. Management fees increased from $7,966,000 in 2001 to $9,313,000 in 2002 and then decreased to $8,519,000 in 2003. Approximately $351,000 of the 2003 decrease related to Cousins Properties Services LP (“CPS”), as a result of decreased contracts for third party office building management services. Management fees also decreased approximately $405,000 due to the loss of the management services of the One Ninety One Peachtree Tower office building.

Approximately $921,000 of the 2002 increase was due to the consolidation of CPS discussed in Note 5. Of this increase, approximately $868,000 was from a new third party contract which CPS obtained in October 2001. Management fees also increased approximately $175,000 in 2002 from Crawford Long – CPI, LLC, due to the aforementioned Emory Crawford Long Medical Office Tower becoming partially operational for financial reporting purposes in February 2002.

Leasing and Other Fees. Leasing and other fees decreased from $5,344,000 in 2001 to $4,297,000 in 2002 and then increased to $6,991,000 in 2003. Leasing and other fees increased approximately $3,954,000 at CPS in 2003, primarily from an increase in sales of land which CPS brokered. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in leasing fees recognized from unconsolidated joint ventures of approximately $1,292,000 primarily due to two large leases signed in 2002.

The decrease in 2002 is primarily due to a decrease of approximately $1,130,000 from CPI/FSP I, L.P., as leasing fees were recognized for the lease-up of Austin Research Park — Buildings III and IV in 2001. Leasing and other fees from CPS decreased approximately $822,000 in 2002 due to decreased sales of land brokered by CPS. The CPS decrease was partially offset by an increase in leasing and other fees of approximately $533,000 from third party contracts and approximately $454,000 from Ten Peachtree Place Associates, due to the lease-up of the Ten Peachtree Place building.

Residential Lot and Outparcel Sales and Cost of Sales. Residential lot and outparcel sales increased from $6,682,000 in 2001 to $9,126,000 and $12,945,000 in 2002 and 2003, respectively. Residential lot sales increased due to an increase in the number of lots sold, from 121 lots in 2001 to 166 and 214 lots in 2002 and 2003, respectively. The mix of lots sold at the residential developments also changed between years, with the sales price points being different at the various developments. Additionally, there was one outparcel sale in 2003 for $600,000, one in 2002 for $547,000 and none in 2001.

Residential lot and outparcel cost of sales increased from $5,910,000 in 2001 to $7,309,000 and $10,022,000 in 2002 and 2003, respectively. The increases in residential lot cost of sales were partially due to the increase in the aforementioned changes in lots sold during the periods and partially to fluctuations in gross profit percentages used to calculate the cost of sales for residential lot sales in certain of the residential developments. Furthermore, outparcel cost of sales were approximately $480,000 in 2003 and $353,000 in 2002 due to the aforementioned outparcel sales.

Interest and Other Income. Interest and other income decreased from $6,061,000 in 2001 to $4,393,000 and $3,940,000 in 2002 and 2003, respectively. Interest and other income decreased approximately $945,000 in 2003 due to the repayment in August 2003 of the 650 Massachusetts Avenue note receivable. The decrease in 2003 was partially offset by income recognized related to warrants owned by the Company to buy common stock of an unrelated third party.

The decrease in interest and other income in 2002 was primarily due to the $18.6 million note receivable from Gateway, which was repaid in full in November 2001.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased from $26,734,000 in 2001 to $27,699,000 and $29,606,000 in 2002 and 2003, respectively. The increase in 2003 was primarily due to an increase in salaries and related benefits, partially offset by an increase in capitalized salaries to projects under development. The increase in 2002 was primarily due to increased salaries and related benefits as a result of the aforementioned consolidation of CPS and new personnel in several business units. Partially offsetting the increase in 2002 was a decrease resulting from the capitalization of additional general and administrative expenses to offset the partial elimination of certain development and leasing fees from joint ventures (see Note 1, “Fee Income”).

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased from $32,790,000 in 2001 to $36,302,000 and $39,477,000 in 2002 and 2003, respectively. The increases in 2003 and 2002 were primarily due to write-offs of unamortized tenant improvements and leasing costs related to certain tenants who effected early terminations of their lease obligations. The 2002 increase also related to the aforementioned office building and retail center becoming partially operational for financial reporting purposes in 2002.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased from $17,852,000 in 2001 to $27,041,000 in 2002 and then decreased to $22,576,000 in 2003. Interest expense of continuing operations before capitalization increased from $27,564,000 in 2001 to $32,975,000 in 2002 and then decreased to $32,260,000 in 2003. The 2003 decrease was partially due to a decrease in interest expense of $1,418,000 related to the Company’s credit facility. The credit facility was paid down in part using the proceeds of the July 2003 preferred stock offering and from a portion of the proceeds from the aforementioned property sales. The decrease in interest expense of continuing operations before capitalization in 2003 was partially offset by an increase in interest expense of $877,000 related to the refinancing of the CSC Associates, L.P. note (see Note 4). The amount of interest capitalized (a reduction of interest expense), which changes parallel to the level of projects under development, decreased from $9,712,000 in 2001 to $5,934,000 in 2002 and then increased to $9,684,000 in 2003. Capitalized interest varies as the weighted average expenditures for projects under development changes. Expenditures were higher in 2003 compared to 2002.

Interest expense of continuing operations before capitalization increased in 2002 due to higher average debt levels, in part from the CSC Associates, L.P. refinancing (see Note 4). Additionally, the Company completed three non-recourse mortgages in 2001 for properties not included in discontinued operations: 600 University Park Place in July 2001, 333 John Carlyle/1900 Duke Street and 333/555 North Point Center East in November 2001, which all contributed a full year of interest to 2002. Partially offsetting the increase in interest expense in 2002 was a reduction in interest on the credit facility due to a decrease in the average floating rate.

Other Expenses. Other expenses increased from $2,261,000 in 2001 to $3,147,000 and $3,290,000 in 2002 and 2003, respectively. Both predevelopment expense and minority interest remained relatively flat between 2002 and 2003. The 2002 increase in other expenses was mainly due to an increase of $793,000 in predevelopment expense from 2001.

(Provision) Benefit for Income Taxes From Operations. Income taxes from operations increased from a benefit of $691,000 in 2001 to a provision of $1,526,000 in 2002 and increased further to a provision of $2,596,000 in 2003. The increase in 2003 was due to higher income before income taxes and gain on sale of investment properties at CREC and its subsidiaries due to increased residential lot and outparcel sales, net of cost of sales. The increase is also due to an increase in income from CREC II and its subsidiaries, which is now merged into CREC, from increased fees on sales of land partnerships brokered by CPS.

The increase in the tax provision in 2002 was primarily due to an increase in income before income taxes and gain on sale of investment properties from CREC and its subsidiaries. The increase at CREC and its subsidiaries was primarily due to increases in income from residential lot sales, net of cost of sales, and a decrease in general and administrative expenses. The increase at CREC and its subsidiaries was partially offset by a decrease in development income and an increase in interest expense. The increase in the provision for income taxes in 2002 was also due to a decrease in the loss before income taxes and gain on sale of investment properties from CREC II and its subsidiaries. This decrease was mainly due to increased income from CPS.

Income From Unconsolidated Joint Ventures. (All amounts reflect the Company’s share of joint venture income.) Income from unconsolidated joint ventures increased from $22,897,000 in 2001 to $26,670,000 in 2002 and then decreased to $24,619,000 in 2003.

Income from Wildwood Associates increased from $5,223,000 in 2001 to $6,360,000 in 2002 and then decreased to $4,820,000 in 2003. The 2003 decrease was due to a decrease in rental property revenues at 2300 Windy Ridge Parkway due to a decrease in average economic occupancy from 99% in 2002 to 86% in 2003. Rental property revenues also decreased in 2003 from the 3200 Windy Hill Road Building as its average economic occupancy decreased from 100% in 2002 to 94% in 2003. The decrease at the 3200 Windy Hill Road Building was partially offset by a termination fee received in 2003 from a tenant who exercised their cancellation option. Income from Wildwood Associates also decreased approximately $551,000 in 2003 due to an impairment loss which was recognized when certain land was categorized as held for sale. The ultimate sales price was comparable to the new carrying value. The 2002 increase was primarily due to an increase in rental property revenues from the 3200 Windy Hill Road Building, as its average economic occupancy increased from 99% in 2001 to 100% in 2002 and its tenant mix changed.

The loss from Cousins LORET increased from $54,000 in 2001 to $729,000 in 2002 and then the loss decreased to $153,000 in 2003. The 2003 decrease in loss was due to a decrease in depreciation and amortization of approximately $884,000 in 2003 at Two Live Oak Center. The decrease in depreciation and amortization was partially offset by a decrease in rental property revenues as the average economic occupancy of Two Live Oak Center decreased from 89% in 2002 to 81% in 2003. The increase in loss in 2002 was primarily due to a reduction in the average economic occupancy of Two Live Oak Center from 98% in 2001 to 89% in 2002 and to an increase of approximately $582,000 in depreciation and amortization at Two Live Oak Center, as previously mentioned.

Income from Temco Associates increased from $1,720,000 in 2001 to $1,949,000 and $3,139,000 in 2002 and 2003, respectively. Lots sold at Temco Associates increased from 233 lots in 2001 to 289 and 356 lots in 2002 and 2003, respectively. During 2001, 2002 and 2003, approximately 359, 607 and 97 acres, respectively, of the option related to the fee simple interest were exercised and simultaneously sold. Additionally, in 2003, 10 acres which had previously been exercised under the option were sold. CREC’s share of the gain on these and other tract sales was approximately $1,075,000, $668,000 and $472,000 in 2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively.

Income from 285 Venture, LLC increased from $2,596,000 in 2001 to $2,725,000 in 2002 and then decreased to a loss of $845,000 in 2003. The 2003 decrease was due to the underlying tenant, Mirant Corporation (“Mirant”), declaring bankruptcy. Rental property revenues did not change in 2003, but at December 31, 2003, it was probable that the Mirant lease would be renegotiated so as to decrease the amount of space leased. Therefore, the related SFAS No. 13 straight-line rent receivable and the unamortized tenant improvements and leasing costs related to the likely-to-be-vacated space were reserved in 2003. In January 2004, the Mirant lease was renegotiated, as anticipated. Mirant reduced the amount of leased space, the term of its lease and its rental rate. The Company is actively attempting to re-lease the vacated space, but the impact on income from 285 Venture, LLC in 2004 and beyond is not known at this time.

Income of $927,000 from Crawford Long — CPI, LLC was first recognized in 2002 as Emory Crawford Long Medical Office Tower became partially operational for financial reporting purposes in February 2002. Income from Crawford Long – CPI, LLC decreased to $376,000 in 2003 due to interest expense related to a mortgage note payable obtained by the venture in 2003.

Income from Ten Peachtree Place Associates decreased from $169,000 in 2001 to a loss of $854,000 in 2002, and then increased to income of $531,000 in 2003. The average economic occupancy of Ten Peachtree Place was 93% in 2001, 14% in 2002 and 90% in 2003. The partner in the venture leased the building until November 2001, and after expiration of this lease, the building was re-leased during 2002, with most of the occupancy occurring in 2003.

Income from CL Realty, L.L.C. was $606,000 in 2003. The venture was formed in 2002 and lot development began. Lot sales commenced in 2003 with 191 lots being sold. CL Realty, L.L.C. currently has over 8,000 lots under development in nine different residential projects. These projects are expected to be completed within two to ten years.

Income from CPI/FSP I, L.P. increased from $352,000 in 2001 to $2,119,000 and $2,368,000 in 2002 and 2003, respectively. Austin Research Park – Buildings III and IV became partially operational for financial reporting purposes in June 2001 and September 2001, respectively.

Income from the CP Venture LLC entities did not significantly change between 2001 and 2002, but decreased to a loss of $22,000 in 2003. The loss in 2003 was due to an impairment loss recognized at CP Venture Two LLC related to 100 and 200 North Point Center East. (See Note 5 for a description of the Company’s interest in CP Venture LLC and CP Venture Two LLC.) 100 and 200 North Point Center East were held for sale properties in 2003, and, as a result, an impairment loss was recorded to reduce the properties to their fair value.

Income from Gateway increased from $620,000 in 2001 to $1,184,000 in 2002 and then decreased to $1,176,000 in 2003. The Company recognizes an 11.46% current preferred return on its equity in Gateway, which increased from $3,200,000 to $10,556,000 in November 2001. Income does not equal the preferred return on the equity due to amortization of capitalized amounts at the Company level.

Gain on Sale of Investment Properties. Gain on sale of investment properties, net of applicable income tax provision, was $23,496,000, $6,254,000 and $100,558,000 in 2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively. The 2003 gain included the following: deferred gain due to the distribution of proceeds from the Mira Mesa sale ($90.0 million — see Note 5), the September 2003 sale of 10.6 acres of Company-owned Wildwood land ($1.9 million), the December 2003 sale of North Point West Side land ($5.3 million) and the recurring amortization of net deferred gain from the Prudential transaction ($3.3 million — see Note 5).

The 2002 gain included the following: the December 2002 sale of 5.5 acres of Company-owned Wildwood land ($2.1 million) and the amortization of net deferred gain from the Prudential transaction ($4.1 million — see Note 5).

The 2001 gain included the following: the February 2001 sale of Colonial Plaza MarketCenter ($17.1 million), the February 2001 disposition of leasehold interests at Summit Green ($0.2 million), the December 2001 sale of 7 acres of Wildwood land ($2.0 million) and the amortization of net deferred gain from the Prudential transaction ($4.2 million — see Note 5).

Discontinued Operations. The Company sold AT&T Wireless Services Headquarters, Cerritos Corporate Center – Phase II and Mira Mesa MarketCenter in the second quarter of 2003. The Company sold Presidential MarketCenter and Perimeter Expo in the third quarter of 2003. Subsequent to year-end, The Shops of Lake Tuscaloosa, Northside/Alpharetta I and II, 101 Second Street and 55 Second Street were sold. SFAS No. 144 requires that these office buildings and retail centers that were sold or are considered held for sale be treated as discontinued operations and that the results of their operations and any gains on sales from these properties be shown as a separate component of income in the Consolidated Statements of Income for all periods presented. See Note 8 for a detail of the components of income from discontinued operations.

Income from discontinued operations increased from $13,889,000 in 2001 to $22,453,000 and $27,880,000 in 2002 and 2003, respectively. A termination fee of $20,000,000 was recognized in 2003 from Cable & Wireless Internet Services, Inc., which terminated its 158,000 square foot lease at 55 Second Street in January 2003. Although the operations of the five properties sold in 2003 were not included in 2003 Discontinued Operations for a full year, the above mentioned termination fee partially offset the loss of income from those properties.

The increase in income from discontinued operations for 2002 was primarily due to 55 Second Street becoming partially operational for financial reporting purposes in February 2002.

At December 31, 2003, the Company had no amounts drawn on its $275 million credit facility. The amount available under this credit facility is reduced by outstanding letters of credit. This unsecured credit facility contains customary conditions precedent to borrowing, including compliance with financial covenants such as minimum interest coverage and maximum debt to market capitalization. The interest rate on this facility is equal to LIBOR plus a spread based on the ratio of total debt to total assets. As of December 31, 2003, the spread over LIBOR was 1.15%. This facility also contains customary events of default that could give rise to acceleration and include such items as failure to pay interest or principal and breaches of financial covenants such as maintenance of minimum capitalization and minimum interest coverage. This facility is maturing in August 2004, at which time the Company intends to replace it with a new credit facility. Terms and conditions under this new facility are not known at this time.

The Company’s mortgage debt is primarily non-recourse fixed-rate debt secured by various real estate. As of December 31, 2003, the weighted average interest rate on this debt was 7.2%. In addition, many of the Company’s non-recourse mortgages contain covenants which, if not satisfied, could result in acceleration of the maturity of the debt. Although not certain at this time, the Company intends to either refinance the non-recourse mortgages if they own the related property at maturity or pay off the mortgages with proceeds of other financings.

The Company has future lease commitments under land leases aggregating approximately $34.4 million over an average remaining term of 60 years. Additionally, the Company has future lease commitments for office space aggregating approximately $1.4 million over an average remaining term of 1.5 years.

As of December 31, 2003, the Company had outstanding letters of credit and performance bonds aggregating approximately $12.7 million. These instruments primarily related to guarantees of maintenance and/or performance pertaining to the Company’s development projects or additional collateral on unsecured corporate notes payable.

The Company has development and acquisition projects in various planning stages. The Company currently intends to finance these projects and projects currently under construction discussed in Note 9, by using its existing credit facility (increasing the credit facility as required), long-term non-recourse financing on the Company’s unleveraged projects, joint ventures, project sales and other financings as market conditions warrant. As of December 31, 2003, outstanding commitments for the construction and design of consolidated real estate projects totaled approximately $101.8 million most of which is estimated to be funded in 2004. In addition, the Company was obligated under lease agreements at its operating properties to fund remaining tenant improvement costs of approximately $9.3 million in 2004.

As a member of various of the unconsolidated joint ventures described in Note 5, the Company may be required to make additional capital contributions from time to time to fund development costs, tenant improvement costs or operating deficits. The Company has not guaranteed the debt of any of its unconsolidated joint ventures, except for guarantees of “non-recourse carve-outs” of mortgages.

In September 1996, the Company filed a shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for the offering from time to time of up to $200 million of common stock, warrants to purchase common stock and debt securities. Approximately $68 million had previously been drawn on this shelf registration. In July 2003, the Company filed a new and amended shelf registration statement, which provided for the offering from time to time of up to $133 million (increasing the amount available by $1 million) of common stock, warrants to purchase common stock, debt securities and

preferred stock. As described in Note 6, the Company issued $100 million of preferred stock in July 2003. As of December 31, 2003, approximately $33 million remained available for issuance under the new shelf registration statement.

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

Cash Flows. Cash Flows from Operating Activities.

Net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations decreased from $51.8 million in 2001 to $50.6 million in 2002 and then increased to $56.7 million in 2003. In 2003, income from continuing operations before gain on sale of investment properties increased $2.4 million. Additionally, depreciation and amortization increased $3.2 million, primarily due to write-offs of unamortized tenant improvements and leasing costs related to certain tenants who effected early terminations of their lease obligations. Further contributing to the increase in net cash provided by operating activities was an increase in residential lot and outparcel cost of sales of approximately $3.4 million due to increased lot sales in 2003. Partially offsetting the increase in net cash provided by operating activities were decreases of approximately $3.0 million in changes in other operating assets and liabilities.

In 2002, the decrease in net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations was primarily due to a decrease in income from continuing operations before gain on sale of investment properties of approximately $15.5 million. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in depreciation and amortization of approximately $3.6 million due to the aforementioned office buildings and retail center becoming partially operational for financial reporting purposes and to write-offs of unamortized tenant improvements and leasing commissions related to lease terminations in 2002. Changes in other operating assets and liabilities increased approximately $5.1 million and residential lot and outparcel development and acquisition expenditures decreased approximately $2.0 million, also partially offsetting the decrease in net cash provided by operating activities.

Cash Flows from Discontinued Operations. Net cash provided by operating activities of discontinued operations increased from $24.7 million in 2001 to $38.7 million and $41.9 million in 2002 and 2003, respectively. Five of the properties included in discontinued operations were sold in 2003, whereas 2002 reflected a full year of activity for these same properties. See Note 8 for detailed information.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities decreased from $104.0 million in 2001 to $73.0 million in 2002, and then increased to net cash provided by investing activities of $185.8 million in 2003. In 2003, net cash provided by sales activities increased $252.8 million due to the aforementioned sales of investment properties. Also contributing to the increase in net cash provided by investing activities was an increase of $25.6 million in collection of notes receivable, net of investment in, resulting from the repayment of the 650 Massachusetts Avenue note receivable. Distributions in excess of income from unconsolidated joint ventures increased approximately $24.5 million, consisting primarily of an increase in distributions of approximately $22.5 million. The increase in distributions was primarily due to distributions of $26.3 million from Crawford Long – CPI, LLC. In May 2003, Crawford Long – CPI, LLC, in which the Company is a 50% partner, obtained non-recourse financing of $55 million. The proceeds from this financing were distributed to the partners. Also contributing to the net increase in distributions was an increase of approximately $1.7 million from CSC Associates, partially offset by a decrease in distributions from Wildwood Associates of approximately $4.7 million. The increase in net cash provided by investing activities was partially offset by an increase of approximately $22.6 million in property acquisition and development expenditures as a result of increased development activity in 2003 compared to 2002. Also partially offsetting the increase in net cash used in investing activities were increases of $24.1 million in investment in unconsolidated joint ventures. Investment in CL Realty, L.L.C. increased approximately $26.2 million, which was primarily utilized to fund the Company’s portion of land acquisition costs in connection with CL Realty, L.L.C.’s new residential developments. These increases in contributions were partially offset by a decrease in contributions to Crawford Long – CPI, LLC of approximately $4.0 million, as development of the Emory Crawford Long Medical Office Tower was substantially completed in February 2002.

The decrease in net cash used in investing activities in 2002 was primarily due to a decrease of approximately $54.2 million in property acquisition and development expenditures, as a result of the Company having a lower level of projects under development in 2002. Investment in unconsolidated joint ventures decreased approximately $34.5 million, which also contributed to the decrease in net cash used in investing activities. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in contributions of approximately $15.4 million to CPI/FSP I, L.P., as construction of Austin Research Park — Buildings III and IV was completed in 2001, a decrease in contributions of approximately $13.0 million to Crawford Long – CPI, LLC in 2002, as construction of the Emory Crawford Long Medical Office Tower was substantially completed in February 2002, and a decrease in contributions of approximately $1.1 million to 285 Venture, LLC, as construction of 1155 Perimeter Center

West was completed in 2001. Contributions to Gateway also decreased approximately $7.8 million. The decrease in investment in unconsolidated joint ventures was partially offset by an increase in contributions of approximately $4.0 million to Ten Peachtree Place Associates in 2002. The decrease in net cash paid in acquisition of business of approximately $2.1 million, which resulted from the acquisition of the remaining 25% interest in CPS in the first quarter of 2001, and a decrease in change in other assets, net, of approximately $6.8 million, both further contributed to the decrease in net cash used in investing activities. Net cash provided by sales activities decreased approximately $45.8 million due primarily to the sale of Colonial Plaza MarketCenter in February 2001, which partially offset the decrease in net cash used in investing activities. Collection of notes receivable decreased approximately $2.9 million, which also partially offset the decrease in net cash used in investing activities. Further offsetting the decrease in net cash used in investment activities in 2002 was a decrease in distributions in excess of income from unconsolidated joint ventures of approximately $12.7 million, consisting of a decrease in total distributions of approximately $8.9 million and an increase in income of approximately $3.8 million. The decrease in total distributions was primarily due to a decrease of approximately $17.6 million from Gateway, as a result of refinancing Gateway’s construction loan in 2001, partially offset by increases in total distributions of approximately $7.1 million from Wildwood Associates and $1.9 million from CPI/FSP I, L.P.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities decreased from $35.5 million in 2001 to net cash used in financing activities of $19.4 million in 2002 and $278.0 million in 2003. The increase in net cash used in financing activities in 2003 was primarily attributable to an increase of $164.5 million in net amounts paid on the credit facility and a decrease of $152.5 million in proceeds from other notes payable, due to the February 2002 refinancing of Bank of America Plaza. Also contributing to the increase in net cash used in financing activities was a $98.9 million increase in common dividends paid, primarily due to a special dividend of $2.07 per common share paid in September 2003. Preferred dividends paid also increased $2.4 million due to the preferred stock offering in July 2003 (see Note 6). An increase of $9.7 million due to a distribution to a minority partner from the 2003 Mira Mesa sale also contributed to the increase in net cash used in financing activities. Partially offsetting the increase in net cash used in financing activities was the receipt of $96.3 million of net proceeds from the aforementioned July 2003 preferred stock offering. A decrease of approximately $34.9 million in common stock repurchases, net of common stock sold, and a decrease of $38.3 in repayment of other notes payable due to the aforementioned refinancing of Bank of America also partially offset the increase in net cash used in financing activities.

The decrease in net cash provided by financing activities in 2002 was primarily attributable to an increase of approximately $67.8 million in repayment of other notes payable due to the refinancing of Bank of America Plaza (see Note 4). Also contributing to the decrease in net cash provided by financing activities to net cash used in financing activities was an increase of $29.4 million of common stock repurchases. An increase in the dividends paid per share to $1.48 in 2002 from $1.39 in 2001 also contributed to the decrease in net cash provided by financing activities as dividends paid increased approximately $4.8 million. Additionally, common stock sold, net of expenses, decreased by approximately $5.1 million. The increase in proceeds from other notes payable of approximately $26.3 million due to the aforementioned refinancing of Bank of America Plaza and an increase of approximately $25.8 million in net amounts drawn on the credit facility partially offset the decrease in net cash provided by financing activities.

Effects of Inflation. The Company attempts to minimize the effects of inflation on income from operating properties by using rents tied to tenants’ sales, periodic fixed-rent increases or increases based on the Consumer Price Index, and/or pass-through of certain operating expenses of properties to tenants.

Other Matters. The events of September 11, 2001 adversely affected the pricing and availability of property insurance. In particular, premiums increased and terrorism insurance coverage became harder to obtain. The availability of coverage has improved and, at this time, the Company and its unconsolidated joint ventures are adequately insured on all of their assets. While the Company’s cost of property insurance coverage has increased, management believes the costs are currently reasonable and should not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations in 2004. There can be no assurance that this situation will continue beyond 2004.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

The Company is exposed to the impact of interest rate changes as a result of variable rate debt held by the Company. A loan related to the Company’s airplane has a variable rate. The Company also has a variable rate credit facility. No amounts were drawn on this facility as of December 31, 2003. The Company does not enter into contracts for trading purposes and does not use leveraged instruments.

The following table summarizes the Company’s market risk associated with notes payable and notes receivable as of December 31, 2003. The information presented below should be read in conjunction with Notes 3 and 4. The table presents scheduled principal repayments and related weighted average interest rates by expected year of maturity. Variable rate represents the floating interest rate calculated at December 31, 2003.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

Not applicable.

Item 9A.Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specific in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management necessarily applied its judgment in assessing the costs and benefits of such controls and procedures, which, by their nature, can provide only reasonable assurance regarding management’s control objectives. We also have investments in certain unconsolidated entities. As we do not always control or manage these entities, our disclosure controls and procedures with respect to such entities are necessarily more limited than those we maintain with respect to our consolidated subsidiaries.

The Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls can prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no

matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. There are inherent limitations in all control systems, including the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of one or more persons. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and, while our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to be effective under circumstances where they should reasonably be expected to operate effectively, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Because of the inherent limitations in any control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

As of the end of the period covered by this annual report, the Company, under the supervision of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and with the participation of the Company’s management, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective, in all material respects, in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company required to be included in the Company’s periodic SEC filings. No changes were made in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

Subsequent to the original evaluation of internal control, the Company restated its consolidated statements of cash flows as described in the Explanatory Note in the forepart of this Form 10-K/A and in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements. Management has made changes to its internal controls consistent with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 that should improve controls over the preparation of the statement of cash flows. After considering the effect of the restatement, management continues to believe that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this annual report.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To Cousins Properties Incorporated:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Cousins Properties Incorporated (a Georgia corporation) and consolidated entities (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ investment and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2003. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule in the index at Item 15. These consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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 consolidated 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, 2003 and 2002 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2003 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, such financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

As discussed in Note 8 to the financial statements, the Company changed its method of accounting for discontinued operations in 2002 to conform to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144.

As discussed in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company restated its consolidated statements of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2003.

Cousins Properties Incorporated and Consolidated Entities
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001

1. Significant Accounting Policies

Consolidation and Presentation:

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Cousins Properties Incorporated (“Cousins”), its majority-owned partnerships and wholly-owned subsidiary, Cousins Real Estate Corporation (“CREC”) and its subsidiaries. Information regarding CREC is included in Note 2. 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 and/or non-controlled joint ventures are recorded using the equity method of accounting. Information regarding the non-majority-owned and/or non-controlled joint ventures is included in Note 5.

Income Taxes:

Since 1987, Cousins has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”). As a REIT, Cousins generally is not subject to corporate federal income taxes to the extent that it distributes 100% of its taxable income (excluding the consolidated taxable income of CREC and its wholly-owned subsidiaries) 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:

Real estate assets are stated at depreciated cost. Buildings which are constructed are depreciated over 30 years. Buildings that were acquired are depreciated over 15, 25 or 30 years. See the long-lived assets and cost capitalization section for a further discussion of depreciation related to properties acquired after June 2001. Furniture, fixtures and equipment are depreciated over three to five years. Tenant improvements, leasing costs and leasehold 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.

Long-Lived Assets and Cost Capitalization:

Long-lived assets include property, goodwill and other assets which are held and used by an entity. The Company evaluates the carrying value of its long-lived assets in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” and SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” The carrying value of long-lived assets, other than goodwill, is reviewed by management if any indicators of impairment exist, and impairment losses, if any, are recognized when the expected undiscounted future operating cash flows derived from such assets are less than their carrying value. In such cases, the carrying value of the long-lived asset is reduced to its fair value net of selling costs. No such impairments have occurred within its consolidated entities during any of the periods presented. Additionally, an impairment loss is recognized if the fair value of a property held for sale net of selling costs, as defined in SFAS No. 144, is less than carrying value. The Company ceases depreciation of a property when it is categorized as held for sale. The accounting for long-lived assets is the same at the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures, two of which recorded impairments in 2003 for held for sale properties.

On January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” which requires that no amortization is recognized for goodwill or other intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives. Instead, these assets are tested annually for impairment. The initial test upon adoption of SFAS No. 142, and the 2003 and 2002 annual tests for impairment of goodwill and other intangibles did not result in any impairment. Amortization expense recorded related to this goodwill was approximately $654,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001. Had amortization expense not been recorded in 2001, diluted net income per common share would have been $1.42 for the year ended December 31, 2001.

SFAS No. 141, “Accounting for Business Combinations,” requires that the purchase price of properties acquired after June 2001 be allocated to land, building, tenant improvements and identified intangible assets. Intangible assets can consist of above or below market leases, customer relationships or the value of in-place leases. Assets acquired, other than intangibles, are depreciated using the methodology detailed in the Depreciation and Amortization section. Above or below market leases are amortized into rental revenues over the individual remaining lease terms. In-place leases are amortized over the term of the lease. The Company has approximately $1,572,000 of above market leases and $673,000 of in-place leases included in Operating Properties in the accompanying 2003 Consolidated Balance Sheet related to a property acquisition in December 2003 (see Notes 5 and 9).

F-6

Costs related to planning, developing, leasing and constructing a property are capitalized to the basis of the property. Capitalized costs associated with a particular property are classified with Properties in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Interest is capitalized to qualifying assets during the period of construction. A weighted average interest rate for all indebtedness of the Company is applied to average accumulated expenditures during the period to calculate interest to be capitalized. This amount does not exceed the actual interest expense of the Company during the period. If a construction loan is obtained for the asset being constructed, interest from that specific loan is used in the calculation of capitalized interest. Interest is also capitalized to investments accounted for under the equity method when the investee has property under development with a carrying value in excess of the investee’s borrowings. To the extent that there is debt at the venture level during the construction period, the venture capitalizes interest using the specifics of that debt. If the Company contributes equity to the venture and those funds are used for construction, the Company capitalizes interest to its investment in the entity. The amount of interest capitalized is limited to actual interest incurred at the Company and is only for the period of construction.

Leasing costs capitalized include commissions paid to outside brokers and outside legal costs to negotiate and document a lease agreement. These costs are capitalized as a cost of the related tenant’s lease and amortized over the lease term. Internal leasing costs are capitalized utilizing guidance in SFAS No. 91, “Accounting for Nonrefundable Fees and Costs Associated with Originating or Acquiring Loans and Initial Direct Costs of Leases.” Leasing personnel are queried monthly and their compensation and payroll-related fringe benefits directly related to time spent performing initial direct leasing activities is capitalized. Costs for development personnel who work directly on the project under construction are also capitalized during the construction period. An estimate of time is obtained directly from such personnel and their actual salaries plus an estimate of related benefits are applied to the project under construction.

Interest, real estate taxes and operating expenses of properties are also capitalized based on the percentage of the project available for occupancy from the date a project receives its certificate of occupancy and for up to one year thereafter.

Fee Income:

Development, construction and leasing fees received from unconsolidated joint ventures and related salaries and other direct costs incurred by the Company are recognized as income and expense based on the percentage of the joint venture which the Company does not own. Correspondingly, the Company adjusts Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures when fees are paid to the Company by a joint venture in which the Company has an ownership interest. Development, construction and leasing fees and related costs are therefore recorded in Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures based on the percentage of the unconsolidated joint venture which the Company owns.

Management fees received from unconsolidated joint ventures are recognized as earned. The Company expenses salaries and other direct costs related to these management fees.

Development, construction, and leasing fees between consolidated entities are eliminated in consolidation. These fees totaled $4,017,000, $4,004,000 and $2,614,000 in 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Management fees received from consolidated entities are eliminated in consolidation, and related salaries and other direct costs are reflected in Rental Property Operating Expenses.

Rental Property Revenues:

In accordance with SFAS No. 13, “Accounting for Leases,” income on leases which include scheduled increases in rental rates over the lease term (other than scheduled increases based on the Consumer Price Index) and/or periods of free rent is recognized on a straight-line basis. The Company also recognizes revenues for recoveries from tenants of operating expenses the Company paid on the tenant’s behalf. These operating expenses include items such as real estate taxes, insurance and other property operating costs.

The Company makes valuation adjustments to all tenant-related revenue based upon the tenant’s credit and business risk. The Company generally suspends the accrual of income on specific tenants where rental payments or reimbursements are delinquent 90 days or more.

Residential Lot Sales Revenues:

Revenue for sales of developed lots to homebuilders is recognized in accordance with the full accrual method as outlined in SFAS No. 66, “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate.” If a substantial continuing obligation exists related to the sale or any other criteria for the full accrual method is not met, the Company would use the percentage of completion method to recognize revenues on lot sales.

Stock-Based Employee Compensation:

The Company has several types of stock-based employee compensation which are described fully in Note 6. The Company has elected to account for its plans under Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” which requires the recording of compensation expense for some, but not all, stock-based compensation, rather than the alternative accounting permitted by SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-

F-7

Based Compensation.” No stock-based employee compensation cost was reflected in net income for stock options granted under the plans, as all stock options granted had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. Compensation expense was reflected in net income for stock-based compensation of the Company other than stock options.

For purposes of the pro forma disclosures required by SFAS No. 123 and SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure,” the Company has computed the value of all stock options granted during 2003, 2002 and 2001 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions and results:


	2003			2002			2001
Assumptions
Risk-free interest rate		4.10	%		4.51	%		4.70	%
Assumed dividend yield		5.49	%		6.12	%		5.97	%
Assumed lives of option awards	8 years			8 years			8 years
Assumed volatility		0.187			0.192			0.197

Results
Weighted average fair value of options granted	$	2.87		$	2.33		$	2.62

The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions. In the opinion of the Company’s management, because the Company’s stock-based compensation awards have characteristics significantly different from traded options and because changes in the subjective assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, the results obtained from the valuation model do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the value of its stock-based compensation awards.

If the Company had accounted for its stock-based compensation awards in 2003, 2002 and 2001 in accordance with SFAS No. 123, pro forma results would have been as follows ($ in thousands, except per share amounts):


	2003			2002			2001
Net income available to common stockholders, as reported	$	238,803		$	47,872		$	70,815
Deduct: Compensation expense for stock option awards determined under the fair value method, net of related tax effects		(2,252	)		(2,433	)		(2,338	)


Pro forma net income available to common stockholders	$	236,551		$	45,439		$	68,477

Net income per common share:
Basic – as reported	$	4.94		$	.97		$	1.44

Basic – pro forma	$	4.90		$	.92		$	1.39

Diluted – as reported	$	4.83		$	.96		$	1.41

Diluted – pro forma	$	4.79		$	.91		$	1.36

Earnings Per Share (“EPS”):

Basic EPS is calculated as net income available to common stockholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is calculated as net income available to common stockholders divided by the diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted weighted average number of common shares is calculated to reflect the potential dilution that would occur if stock options or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised and resulted in additional common stock outstanding. The income amounts used in the Company’s EPS calculations are reduced for the effect of preferred dividends and are the same for both basic and diluted EPS.

Share data is as follows (in thousands):


	2003		2002		2001
Weighted average shares		48,313		49,252		49,205

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash:

Cash and cash equivalents include 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 a market rate at least every three months. Restricted cash primarily represents amounts restricted under debt agreements for future capital expenditures.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

In April 2002, SFAS No. 145, “Rescission of SFAS Nos. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of SFAS No. 13, and Technical Corrections,” was issued. SFAS No. 145, among other things, eliminates the requirement that all gains and losses from the extinguishment of debt be aggregated and, if material, classified as an extraordinary item. However, a gain or loss arising from such an event or transaction would continue to be classified as an extraordinary item if the event or transaction is both unusual in nature and infrequent in occurrence per the criteria in APB No. 30, “Reporting the Results of Operations – Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions.” As part of the transition guidance, although net income would not be affected, gains and losses from debt extinguishment in prior periods that do not meet the criteria in APB No. 30 cannot be treated as extraordinary items for all periods presented. At January 1, 2003, upon adoption of SFAS No. 145, the Company reclassified the extraordinary loss recognized in the first quarter of 2002 to Loss on Debt Extinguishment (included in recurring operations) in the accompanying 2002 Consolidated Statement of Income. This loss on debt extinguishment is related to the Company’s $150 million mortgage note payable for CSC Associates, L.P. obtained in February 2002 in connection with the refinancing of Bank of America Plaza (see Note 4).

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (“FIN 46”), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51.” The interpretation addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities (“VIEs”). FIN 46 was revised in December 2003 (“FIN 46R”) and applied as of December 31, 2003 to all VIEs created or entered into after January 31, 2003. The adoption of FIN 46 has been postponed for VIEs that were in existence prior to January 31, 2003 until the end of the first interim or annual period ending after March 15, 2004. The Company analyzed all entities formed since February 1, 2003 to determine if any qualified as VIEs under FIN 46. The Company determined that an entity owned by a joint venture in which the Company has a 50% ownership interest is a VIE. The joint venture previously consolidated this entity, and there is no effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations as a result of this entity being a VIE. Additionally, the Company formed Gipson/Cousins Holdings, LLC (“Gipson”) in October 2003, which is a VIE. The purpose of this entity is to develop retail shopping centers. The Company has not invested a significant amount in this entity as of December 31, 2003. The Company has concluded that it is the primary beneficiary of Gipson and therefore consolidated its operations. Additionally, the Company has a relationship with an entity developing a retail center in which the Company has no equity invested and will receive a portion of the profits, in addition to recognizing a development fee. This entity is a VIE; however, the Company is not the primary beneficiary and does not consolidate this entity.

The Company is in the process of analyzing all entities created prior to January 31, 2003. The Company has preliminarily concluded that four of its entities in existence prior to January 31, 2003 are VIEs under FIN 46R. The Company is the primary beneficiary in three of these entities, all of which were previously consolidated by the Company. The entities are Cousins/Daniel, LLC, Cousins/Myers Second Street Partners, L.L.C. and Cousins/Myers II, LLC, all of which own operating office buildings. The Company is not the primary beneficiary in the fourth VIE, Charlotte Gateway Village, LLC. See Note 5 for details of this entity. The Company will continue its FIN 46 review and adopt this statement on March 31, 2004.

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity.” This statement requires an issuer to classify certain instruments as liabilities (or assets in some circumstances) and is effective May 31, 2003 for all financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and on July 1, 2003 for financial instruments which existed prior to May 31, 2003. The application of SFAS No. 150 to mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interests in finite life entities that are consolidated by the Company was indefinitely deferred. Other than mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interests in finite life entities, the Company does not have any financial instruments as defined in SFAS No. 150, and the adoption of SFAS No. 150 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

Use of Estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying financial statements and notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications:

Certain 2002 and 2001 amounts have been reclassified to conform with the 2003 presentation.

2. CREC AND CREC II

CREC develops and owns interests in certain real estate projects and provides development, management and leasing services to the Company and to other owners. Cousins provides all the operating capital for CREC and has approval rights over services CREC performs. Prior to December 30, 2003, Cousins owned 100% of CREC’s $5,025,000 par value 8% cumulative preferred stock and 100% of CREC’s non-voting common stock, which was entitled to 95% of any dividends of CREC after preferred dividend requirements. T. G. Cousins, Chairman of the Board of Cousins and an officer and director of CREC, owned 100% of the voting common stock of CREC, which he purchased for $100 and which voting common stock was 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 was attributable to Mr. Cousins’ minority interest because the face amount of CREC’s preferred stock plus accumulated dividends thereon exceeded CREC’s equity.

CREC II owned the Company’s investment in Cousins Properties Services LP (see Note 5). Cousins provided all of the operating capital for CREC II and had approval rights over services CREC II performed. Prior to December 30, 2003, Cousins owned 100% of CREC II’s $835,000 par value, 10% cumulative preferred stock and 100% of CREC II’s non-voting common stock, which was entitled to 95% of any dividends of CREC II after preferred dividend requirements. Mr. Cousins, who was also an officer and director of CREC II, owned 100% of the voting common stock of CREC II, which he purchased for $64,000 and which voting common stock was entitled to 5% of any dividends of CREC II after preferred dividend requirements. CREC II was included in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements, but was taxed as a regular corporation. CREC II paid no common dividends to date. Minority interest was recognized for Mr. Cousins’ ownership.

On December 30, 2003, the Company purchased Mr. Cousins’ interests in both CREC and CREC II at book value. At that point, preferred stock was converted to common stock and any unpaid, accumulated preferred dividends were contributed as additional capital. CREC II was merged with and into CREC effective December 31, 2003. CREC is accounted for as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. CREC and CREC II were both previously consolidated for all periods presented with the Company, and the change in ownership structure did not and will not have a significant effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company.

3. NOTES AND OTHER RECEIVABLES

At December 31, 2003 and 2002, notes and other receivables included the following ($ in thousands):


	2003		2002
650 Massachusetts Avenue mortgage note	$	—	$	26,309
Miscellaneous notes		2,050		12
Cumulative rental revenue recognized on a straight- line basis in excess of revenue accrued in accordance with lease terms (see Note 1)		7,808		10,022
Other receivables, net (see Note 1)		9,989		14,264


Total Notes and Other Receivables	$	19,847	$	50,607

650 Massachusetts Avenue Mortgage Notes – On March 10, 1994, the Company purchased from the Resolution Trust Corporation (“RTC”) two notes aggregating $37 million (a $32 million and a $5 million note) 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, were secured by a first deed of trust on an office building containing approximately 250,000 rentable square feet located at 650 Massachusetts Avenue, NW, in Washington, D.C. The notes required minimum monthly payments totaling $2,818,000 annually, which were supported by a U.S. government agency lease. For financial reporting purposes, the discounted notes were treated as non-amortizing notes to the extent of the minimum required payments, with the minimum required payments treated as interest income. Amounts in excess of the minimum required payments were treated as a reduction of principal. It became probable in the third quarter 2000 that the Company’s $5 million note would be repaid in full, which occurred in the second quarter 2001. At that point, the carrying value of the $32 million note was $23 million. The Company estimated that approximately $27.6 million would be paid at maturity, which was December 31, 2003. As a result, beginning in the third quarter of 2000 and continuing until the note was paid off, the Company amortized into interest income the difference of approximately $4.6 million between the Company’s carrying value and the amount due under the note, or $327,000 per quarter. The note was paid off prior to its maturity in August 2003, at which time the principal outstanding was approximately $27.9 million. Additional interest income was recognized to record the note receivable at its payoff amount.

F-10

Fair Value – The estimated fair value of the Company’s $2.1 million and $26.3 million of notes receivable was $2.1 million and $27.2 million, respectively, calculated by discounting future cash flows from the notes receivable at estimated rates at which similar loans would have been made at December 31, 2003 and 2002.

In 2003, the Company purchased 100 and 200 North Point Center East from CP Venture Two LLC (see Note 5) and assumed the approximately $22.4 million 7.86% mortgage note payable, which matures August 1, 2007. The Presidential MarketCenter mortgage note payable was assumed by the purchaser when the property was sold in August 2003. The Perimeter Expo mortgage note payable was recollateralized to an unsecured corporate note payable upon sale of the property in September 2003.

In 1996, CSC Associates, L.P. (“CSC”), an entity in which the Company owns a 50% equity interest, issued $80 million of 6.377% collateralized non-recourse mortgage notes (the “Prior Notes”) secured by CSC’s interest in the Bank of America Plaza building and related leases and agreements. CSC loaned the $80 million proceeds of the Prior Notes to the Company under a non-recourse loan (the “Prior Cousins Loan”) secured by the Company’s interest in CSC under the same payment terms as those of the Prior Notes. The Company paid all costs of issuing the Prior Notes and the Prior Cousins Loan.

In 2002, CSC refinanced the Prior Notes, completing a $150 million non-recourse mortgage note payable (the “New Loan”) with an interest rate of 6.958% and a maturity of March 1, 2012. The New Loan is secured by CSC’s interest in the Bank of America Plaza building and related leases and agreements. CSC loaned the $150 million of proceeds to the Company under a non-recourse loan (the “New Cousins Loan”) secured by the Company’s interest in CSC under the same payment terms as those of the New Loan. The Company paid all costs of issuing the New Loan and the New Cousins Loan, including a $750,000 fee to an affiliate of Bank of America Corporation. In connection with the prepayment in full of the Prior Notes, the Company paid a prepayment premium. This prepayment premium, along with the unamortized balance of closing costs paid by the Company related to the Prior Notes, were expensed as a Loss on Debt Extinguishment in the accompanying 2002 Consolidated Statement of Income.

Because CSC loaned the proceeds of the Prior Notes and the New Loan to the Company, the Prior Notes and the New Loan and their related interest expense and maturities are disclosed as obligations of the Company and are not included in the unconsolidated joint venture balances disclosed in Note 5. (The related note receivable and interest income are also not included in Note 5).

F-11

The Company has a credit facility with Bank of America, Wachovia and certain other banks for $275 million, which expires August 31, 2004, and upon which no amounts were drawn at December 31, 2003. The credit facility is unsecured and bears interest at a rate equal to the London Interbank Offering Rate (“LIBOR”) plus a spread which is based on the ratio of total debt to total assets, as defined by the credit facility, according to the following table:


	Applicable
Leverage Ratio	Spread
£ to 35%		1.05	%
<35.00% but £ 45%		1.15	%
<45.00% but £ 50%		1.25	%
<50.00% but £ 55%		1.45	%
<55%		1.70	%

At December 31, 2003, the Company had outstanding letters of credit totaling approximately $9.6 million, performance bonds totaling approximately $3.2 million and assets with carrying values of $412.6 million were pledged as security on the debt of the Company. Approximately $20.7 million of the Company’s debt outstanding at December 31, 2003 is recourse to the Company. The majority of the Company’s debt is fixed rate long-term mortgage debt which is non-recourse to the Company. As of December 31, 2003, the weighted average maturity of the Company’s debt was 7 years.

The aggregate maturities of the indebtedness of the Company at December 31, 2003 detailed above are as follows ($ in thousands):

The Company has future lease commitments under land leases aggregating approximately $34.4 million over an average remaining term of 60 years. As of December 31, 2003, outstanding commitments for the construction and design of real estate projects, including an estimate for unfunded tenant improvements, totaled approximately $111.1 million. At December 31, 2003 and 2002, the estimated fair value of the Company’s notes payable was approximately $556.8 million and $707.9 million, respectively.

5. INVESTMENT IN UNCONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURES

The following information summarizes financial data and principal activities of unconsolidated joint ventures in which the Company had ownership interests. During the development or construction of an asset, the Company and its partners may be committed to provide funds pursuant to a development plan. However, in general, the Company does not have any obligation to fund the working capital needs of its unconsolidated joint ventures. The partners may elect in their discretion to fund cash needs if the venture required additional funds to effect re-leasing or had other specific needs. Additionally, the Company has not guaranteed the outstanding debt of any of its unconsolidated joint ventures, except for guarantees of “non-recourse carve-outs” of mortgages. Audited financial

Wildwood Associates – Wildwood Associates was formed in 1985 between the Company and IBM, each as 50% partners. The partnership owns six office buildings totaling 2.1 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 285 acres, of which approximately 87 acres are owned by Wildwood Associates and an estimated 16 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. The estimated 16 acres of land which are committed to be contributed to Wildwood Associates by the Company are included in Wildwood Associates’ financial statements under the caption “Land Committed to be Contributed” and are not included in “Land Held for Investment or Future Development” in the Company’s financial statements. All costs associated with the land are borne by Wildwood Associates.

Through December 31, 2003, IBM had contributed $46.6 million in cash plus properties having an agreed-upon 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-upon value of $54.5 million for its one-half interest in the partnership and is obligated to contribute the aforesaid estimated 16 acres of additional land with an agreed-upon value of $8.3 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, which was a negative investment of $35.9 million at December 31, 2003 due to partnership distributions in excess of contributions, 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 ($5.9 million at December 31, 2003) is based upon the agreed-upon values at the time the partnership was formed. In accordance with SOP 78-9, “Accounting for Investments in Real Estate Ventures”, this basis differential will be recognized as the underlying land contributed is sold by the venture.

Generally, the Company does not have any obligation to fund the working capital needs, nor does the Company typically guarantee the outstanding debt, of any of its unconsolidated joint ventures. However, Wildwood Associates is a general partnership and the general partner can have liability under state law for certain debts of the partnership. Nevertheless, all of the indebtedness incurred at the Wildwood Associates level consists of non-recourse mortgage debt. Neither the joint venture nor the Company is personally liable for payment of principal and interest, only having personal contingent liability for customary “non-recourse carve-outs.”

Charlotte Gateway Village, LLC (“Gateway”) – On December 14, 1998, the Company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bank of America Corporation formed Gateway for the purpose of developing and owning Gateway Village, a 1.1 million rentable square foot office building complex in downtown Charlotte, North Carolina. The project, which is 100% leased to Bank of America Corporation with a term of 15 years, became partially operational for financial reporting purposes in November 2000. Gateway’s net income or loss and cash distributions are allocated to the members as follows: first to the Company so that it receives a cumulative compounded return equal

Income allocations and cash distributions are made to the partners based on their percentage interests. The J.P. Morgan Fund contributed the approximately six-acre site upon which 1155 Perimeter Center West was developed. The land had an agreed-upon value of approximately $5.4 million, which the Company matched with a cash contribution. The 99% tenant of 285 Venture, LLC has declared bankruptcy.

The venture owns Ten Peachtree Place, a 260,000 rentable square foot building located in midtown Atlanta, Georgia. The building was 100% leased to Coca-Cola through November 30, 2001. The building has since been re-leased to unrelated third parties. Additionally, the venture owns an adjacent pad currently used for parking upon which an office building or an apartment, townhouse or condominium complex could be developed.

The TPPA partnership agreement generally provided that each partner 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 the Coca-Cola lease expired, in accordance with the partnership agreement, each partner must contribute on a 50% basis capital contributions needed for tenant improvements and leasing commissions related to the re-leasing of the building, as well as to fund any operating deficits. The cash flows from operating activities, net of note principal amortization, will be used first to repay these capital contributions plus 8% interest to each partner on a 50% basis. Cash flows will be allocated on a 50% basis until July 1, 2011. After July 1, 2011, 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.

Under the Venture arrangements, Prudential contributed cash to the Venture equal to the agreed-upon net value of the properties ($230,468,781) at dates specified in the agreements.

The structure of the Venture is as follows: CP Venture LLC, the parent entity, owns a 99% interest in each of CP Venture Two LLC (“Property Activity LLC”) and CP Venture Three LLC (“Development Activity LLC”). The Company owns a 1% direct interest in Property Activity LLC and Prudential owns a 1% direct interest in Development Activity LLC. The contributed properties are owned and operated by Property Activity LLC. The Company has a 10.6061% interest in CP Venture LLC’s 99% interest in Property Activity LLC, which, combined with its 1% direct interest, gives it a net interest of 11.5% in the economics of Property Activity LLC. Prudential has the remaining net interest of 88.5% in the economics of Property Activity LLC. Unless both parties agreed otherwise, Property Activity LLC was not permitted to sell the contributed properties until the end of lock-out periods which was November 2001 for retail properties and November 2002 for office and medical office properties.

The cash contributed by Prudential was contributed to Development Activity LLC. To the extent such funds are not yet needed for development activity, Development Activity LLC can temporarily invest such funds; such potential investments may include temporary loans to the Company. The Venture earns interest on the temporary loans at the same rate as the Company’s credit facility. Prudential is entitled to 10.6061% of CP Venture LLC’s 99% share of the economics of Development Activity LLC, which, combined with its 1% direct interest, entitles it to an overall net interest of 11.5% in the economics of Development Activity LLC. Prudential first receives a priority current return of 9.5% per annum on its share (11.5%) of capital outstanding of Development Activity LLC. Prudential also receives a liquidation preference whereby it is first entitled to, subject to capital account limitations, sufficient proceeds to allow it to achieve an overall 11.5% internal rate of return on its share of outstanding capital of Development Activity LLC. After these preferences to Prudential, the Company has certain preferences, with the residual interests in the development activity being shared according to the interests of the parties. All Prudential priority current returns have been distributed to Prudential during the year.

CP Venture LLC appointed the Company to serve as Development Manager and in such capacity to act for it in connection with its ownership of Development Activity LLC. CP Venture LLC also appointed Prudential to serve as Property Manager and in such capacity to act for it in connection with its ownership of Property Activity LLC. Prudential appointed the Company to serve as property manager of the Properties for Property Activity LLC. The Company also serves as Administrative Manager of CP Venture LLC. Property Activity LLC is expected to continue to operate the contributed Properties. Development Activity LLC is expected to develop commercial real estate projects over time, as selected by the Development Manager. Development Activity LLC may also make acquisitions, which are anticipated to be redevelopment or value-added opportunities. In 2000, Development Activity LLC developed Mira Mesa MarketCenter (“Mira Mesa”), a 480,000 square foot retail center in suburban San Diego, California, and acquired One Georgia Center, an approximately 363,000 rentable square foot office building in midtown Atlanta, Georgia. In 2001, Development Activity LLC also developed The Avenue Peachtree City, an approximately 169,000 square foot retail center in suburban Atlanta, Georgia. The parties anticipate that Development Activity LLC will acquire some of the projects currently under consideration or development by the Company, although the Company has no obligation to make any particular opportunity available to Development Activity LLC.

For financial reporting purposes, the Properties were deconsolidated and contributed to Property Activity LLC. Both Property Activity LLC and CP Venture LLC are being treated as unconsolidated joint ventures. Development Activity LLC is treated as a consolidated entity in the Company’s financial statements as the Company has a controlling financial and voting interest. The Company initially deferred the net gain on the contributed Properties and is recognizing this net gain as Gain on Sale of Investment Properties, Net of Applicable Income Tax Provision, in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income as capital distributions of cash are made from Development Activity LLC to the Company or when the Properties initially contributed to Property Activity LLC are liquidated by Property Activity LLC. The liquidation of the Properties may be in the form of actual sales of the

F-17

Properties or in the form of the depreciation of the Properties which have an average remaining life of 25 years. The total net deferred gain on the contributed Properties on the Closing Date was approximately $96.8 million over the cost of the Properties. Including depreciation recapture of $23.8 million, the total net deferred gain on the Closing Date was approximately $120.6 million. This gain was reflected as Deferred Gain in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

In May 2003, CP Venture Three LLC sold Mira Mesa. Capital distributions of approximately $75.0 million and $9.7 million were made by the Venture to the Company and Prudential, respectively, as a result of the sale. In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 66 “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate,” the distribution of these unrestricted cash proceeds allowed for 88.5% of the remaining unamortized gain at the distribution date to be recognized under the full accrual method. Accordingly, a gain of $90.0 million was recognized in Gain on Sale of Investment Properties, Net of Applicable Income Tax Provision, in the accompanying 2003 Consolidated Statement of Income. Additionally, the Company has accrued the liquidation preference for the period commencing on the Closing Date through May 27, 2003 as the result of significant gains earned at Development Activity LLC.

In December 2003, the Company purchased 100 and 200 North Point Center East from Property Activity LLC. The purchase price was equal to the outstanding balance of the mortgage note payable at the time of sale, which was approximately $22.4 million. Property Activity LLC recognized an impairment loss of approximately $8.6 million, which represented the difference between the book value of the asset and the fair value of the property which approximated the balance of the mortgage note payable. The Company recorded 11.5% of this impairment loss through Income from Unconsolidated Joint Ventures, which totaled approximately $985,000. Deferred gain was recognized for an amount equal to the Company’s impairment loss. Additional deferred gain of approximately $1.3 million was recorded against the basis of the acquired properties. This additional deferred gain was the remaining deferred gain related to the original contribution of 100 and 200 North Point Center East to Property Activity LLC. The total remaining deferred gain of $9.1 million on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2003 related to the portion of the initial gain attributable to the 11.5% ownership interest the Company continues to hold in Property Activity LLC. This portion of the gain is being recognized as the underlying assets of Property Activity LLC are liquidated (either through sales of the properties or through depreciation), as previously discussed.

Cousins Properties Services LP (formerly Cousins Stone LP) – Cousins Stone LP was formed on June 1, 1999 when CREC II acquired Faison’s 50% interest in Faison-Stone.

Effective August 6, 2001, the name was changed to Cousins Properties Services LP (“CPS”) and effective December 31, 2003, CREC II was merged into CREC (see Note 2).

1999 Incentive Stock Plan:

In May 1999, the stockholders of the Company approved the adoption of the 1999 Incentive Stock Plan (the “1999 Plan”), which covered the issuance of 1,343,288 shares of common stock, all of which shares had been available for use under the 1995 Stock Incentive Plan, the Stock Plan for Outside Directors and the Stock Appreciation Right Plan (collectively, the “Predecessor Plans”). Upon adoption of the 1999 Plan, no additional shares of common stock can be issued under the Predecessor Plans. In May 2003 and May 2002, the stockholders of the Company approved amendments to the 1999 Plan to increase the number of shares of common stock available under the 1999 Plan by 1,000,000 in 2003 and 1,100,000 in 2002. As of December 31, 2003, 529,243 shares are authorized to be awarded pursuant to the 1999 Plan, which allows awards of stock options, stock grants or stock appreciation rights.

Stock Options – At December 31, 2003, 6,072,137 stock options awarded to key employees and outside directors pursuant to both the 1999 Plan and the Predecessor Plans were outstanding. All stock options have a term of 10 years from the date of grant. Key employee stock options granted prior to December 28, 2000 have a vesting period of five years under both the 1999 Plan and the Predecessor Plans. Options granted on or after December 28, 2000 have a vesting period of four years. Outside director stock options are fully vested on the grant date under the 1999 Plan but had a vesting period of one year under the Predecessor Plans.

In 2003, the Company sold four properties that generated taxable gains of approximately $107.3 million. As a result of these sales (more fully discussed in Note 8), the Company paid a special cash dividend of $2.07 per share, which totaled $100.5 million, on September 22, 2003, distributing a portion of the taxable gains on the sales of investment properties to its common stockholders. The Company was recapitalized through this special, large nonrecurring dividend that caused the market value per share of stock underlying the option to decrease. The market value of the Company’s stock decreased by approximately the amount of the special dividend on the ex-dividend date. Stock options outstanding were correspondingly adjusted to keep the intrinsic value equal to what it was before the special dividend, in accordance with the guidelines set forth in Paragraph 53 of FASB Interpretation No. 44, “Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation (an interpretation of APB No. 25).” The price per option was decreased and the number of options increased in accordance with the criteria described in a. and b. in Paragraph 53. No deferred compensation or compensation expense was recorded in 2003 as the result of this option adjustment, nor did this adjustment represent a new measurement date or new awards. The options granted in 2003 in the table of options below includes the adjustment of 387,597 to the stock options for the special dividend.

The following is a summary of stock option activity under the 1999 Plan and the Predecessor Plans (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Stock Grants – As indicated above, the 1999 Plan provides for stock grants, which may be subject to specified performance and vesting requirements.

In December 2000 and February 2001, the Company awarded 169,777 and 20,000 shares, respectively, of performance accelerated restricted stock (“PARS”) to certain key employees. The PARS will become fully vested upon the achievement of certain defined performance requirements, which can be met as early as the end of the calendar year which includes the third anniversary of the grant date. The PARS will vest in any event if the employee is employed on November 14, 2006. The shares were issued on the grant date and recorded in Common Stock and Additional Paid-in Capital, with the offset recorded in Unearned Compensation, a separate component of Stockholders’ Investment, in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Unearned Compensation is being amortized into compensation expense beginning January 1, 2001 through November 14, 2006, which is the current estimate when the PARS will vest. If this estimate changes, the amortization of this Unearned Compensation will be adjusted accordingly. If a key employee leaves the Company prior to the vesting of the PARS, said employee’s unvested rights in the PARS are forfeited and any compensation expense amortized prior to such forfeiture is reversed in the year of forfeiture. Compensation expense related to the PARS was approximately $558,000, $591,000 and $1,019,000 in 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. As of December 31, 2003, 147,810 shares of PARS were outstanding.

In December 2003, the Company issued restricted stock to certain key employees. The stock was issued on the grant date and recorded in Common Stock and Additional Paid-in Capital, with the offset recorded in Unearned Compensation in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Unearned Compensation associated with this restricted stock grant is being amortized into compensation expense over the vesting period, which is four years. Compensation expense related to the restricted stock was approximately $56,000 in 2003. As of December 31, 2003, 131,644 shares of restricted stock were outstanding.

Outside directors can elect to receive any portion of their director fees in stock, based on 95% of the average market price on the date of service. Outside directors elected to receive 5,745, 7,120 and 4,356 shares of stock in lieu of cash for director fees in 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

Stock Repurchase Plan:

In November 2001, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted a new stock repurchase plan authorizing the repurchase of up to five million shares of common stock prior to January 1, 2004. During 2003, the Company repurchased 234,100 shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $5,538,000. During 2002, the Company repurchased 1,776,482 shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $41,891,000. Prior to 2002, the Company purchased 681,000 shares for an aggregate price of approximately $17,465,000 under previous plans.

Ownership Limitations:

In order to maintain Cousins’ qualification as a REIT, Cousins’ Articles of Incorporation include certain restrictions on the ownership of more than 3.9% of the Company’s total common and preferred stock.

Distribution of REIT Taxable Income:

The following is a reconciliation between dividends declared and dividends applied in 2003, 2002 and 2001 to meet REIT distribution requirements ($ in thousands):


	2003		2002			2001
Common and preferred dividends paid	$	174,627	$	73,345		$	68,595

That portion of dividends declared in current year, and paid in current year, which was applied to the prior year distribution requirements		—		(5,656	)		(3,807	)
That portion of dividends declared in subsequent year, and paid in subsequent year, which will apply to current year		11,461		—			5,656
Dividends in excess of current year REIT distribution requirements		—		(9,111	)		—

Dividends applied to meet current year REIT distribution requirements	$	186,088	$	58,578		$	71,174

Tax Status of Dividends:

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.

In 2003, the Company designated 38% of the common dividend paid May 30, 2003, 36% of the common dividend paid August 25, 2003, 85% of the common dividend paid September 22, 2003 and 7% of the common

F-20

dividend paid December 22, 2003 as post-May 5, 2003 capital gain dividends. In addition, 7% of the common dividend paid May 30, 2003, 6% of the common dividend paid August 25, 2003, 15% of the common dividend paid September 22, 2003 and 1% of the common dividend paid December 22, 2003 were designated as 25% unrecaptured Section 1250 gain dividends. Also in 2003, the Company designated 58% of the preferred dividend paid November 17, 2003 as post-May 5, 2003 capital gain dividends and 10% as 25% unrecaptured Section 1250 gain dividends.

In addition, in 2003 and 2002, an amount calculated as 0.47% and 0.62%, respectively, of total dividends 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.

In 2002, the Company designated 22% of the dividend paid December 20, 2002 as 20% capital gain dividends which qualify as 5-year gain.

In 2001, the Company designated 76% of the dividend paid May 30, 2001, 1% of the dividend paid August 24, 2001, and 11% of the dividend paid December 21, 2001 as 20% capital gain dividends. In addition, 24% of the dividend paid May 30, 2001 was designated as 25% unrecaptured Section 1250 gain dividends.

7. INCOME TAXES

In 2003, 2002 and 2001, because Cousins has elected to be taxed 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 (estimated 2003 and actual 2002 and 2001) and Consolidated Net Income as reported herein are as follows ($ in thousands):

8. Discontinued Operations

In addition to the requirements of SFAS No. 144 discussed in Note 1, SFAS No. 144, adopted as of January 1, 2002, requires that the gains and losses from the disposition of certain real estate assets and the related historical operating results be included in a separate line item, Discontinued Operations, in the Consolidated Statements of Income for all periods presented. The Company actively manages its portfolio of investment properties and from time to time recycles invested capital by disposing of existing assets and redeploying the proceeds. The Company believes that this is sound portfolio management and that this process tends to enhance total returns to stockholders.

The Company sold AT&T Wireless Services Headquarters, a 222,000 rentable square foot office building, and Cerritos Corporate Center – Phase II, a 105,000 rentable square foot office building (collectively called “Cerritos”), in a single transaction for approximately $79.2 million to an unrelated third party in the second quarter of 2003. The Company sold Mira Mesa for approximately $87.0 million to an unrelated third party in the second quarter of 2003. Presidential MarketCenter (“Presidential”), a 374,000 square foot retail center in Atlanta, Georgia, was sold for approximately $47.2 million to an unrelated third party in the third quarter of 2003. The purchaser assumed the Presidential mortgage note payable in the sale. Also, in the third quarter of 2003, the Company sold Perimeter Expo (“Expo”), a 176,000 square foot retail center in Atlanta, Georgia, for approximately $45.2 million to an unrelated third party. The note payable on Expo was re-collateralized as corporate debt and not repaid. Therefore interest expense related to Expo is not treated as a component of Income from Discontinued Operations.

In the fourth quarter of 2002, the Company sold Salem Road Station (“Salem Road”), a 67,000 square foot retail neighborhood center.

Subsequent to December 31, 2003, the Company determined that the following properties met the qualifications of discontinued operations in accordance with SFAS No. 144: The Shops of Lake Tuscaloosa, a 62,000 square foot retail center in Tuscaloosa, Alabama; Northside/Alpharetta I and II, two 103,000 square foot and 198,000 square foot, respectively, medical office buildings in suburban Atlanta, Georgia; and 101 Second Street and 55 Second Street, two 387,000 square foot and 379,000 square foot, respectively, office buildings in San Francisco, California.

The results of operations for Cerritos, Mira Mesa, Presidential, Expo, Salem Road, Northside/Alpharetta I and II, 101 Second Street, The Shops of Lake Tuscaloosa and 55 Second Street were reclassified to Income from Discontinued Operations in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income for all periods presented.

The following table details the components of income from discontinued properties ($ in thousands):


	2003		2002		2001
Rental property revenues	$	67,462	$	71,382	$	51,188

The gains on the sales of those properties sold in 2002 and 2003 are also included in Discontinued Operations in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income. The components of gain on sale of investment properties for discontinued operations, net of provision for income taxes and minority interest, are as follows ($ in thousands):

Restatement of Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and Supplemental Information

Subsequent to the issuance of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company determined that expenditures for residential lot development and acquisition costs previously recorded investing activities should have been recorded within operating activities in the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows. As a result, the Company restated its 2003, 2002 and 2001 cash flow statements to reclassify acquisition and development expenditures related to its residential lot business from investing activities to operating activities. The impact of this restatement on each period is as follows ($ in thousands):

In 2003, approximately $966,000 was transferred from Projects Under Construction to Land Held for Investment or Future Development. In 2003, approximately $3,479,000 was transferred from Operating Properties to Other Assets.

In 2003, 100 and 200 North Point Center East were purchased by the Company by assuming the mortgage note payable, which had an outstanding balance upon purchase of approximately $22,411,000.

11. 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 are classified and accounted for as operating leases.

At December 31, 2003, future minimum rentals to be received by consolidated entities under existing non-cancelable leases, excluding tenants’ current pro rata share of operating expenses, are as follows ($ in thousands):

12. Reportable Segments

The Company has three reportable segments: Office Division, Retail Division and Land Division. The Office Division and Retail Division develop, lease and manage office buildings and retail centers, respectively. The Land Division owns various tracts of strategically located land which is being held for investment or future development. The Land Division also develops single-family residential communities which are parceled into lots and sold to various home builders. The Company’s reportable segments are broken down based on the type of product the division provides. The divisions are managed separately because each product they provide has separate and distinct development issues, leasing and/or sales strategies and management issues. Unallocated and other consists of general corporate overhead costs not specific to any segment and is mainly comprised of interest expense, as financing decisions are not generally made at the reportable segment level.

The management of the Company evaluates the performance of its reportable segments based on funds from operations available to common stockholders (“FFO”). The Company calculates its FFO using the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) definition of FFO, which is net income available to common stockholders (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding extraordinary items, cumulative effect of change in accounting principle and gains or losses from sales of depreciable property, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. The

F-25

Company changed its method of calculating FFO in the first quarter 2003 to agree with NAREIT’s definition, and FFO for prior reporting periods has been restated. In October 2003, NAREIT revised its prior FFO implementation guidance to indicate that impairment losses are not an adjustment when calculating FFO. The Company had an impairment loss in 2003 which is not treated as a reconciling item between net income and FFO in the segment schedule below.

FFO is used by industry analysts, investors and the Company as a supplemental measure of an equity REIT’s operating performance. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves. Thus, NAREIT created FFO as a supplemental measure of a REIT’s operating performance that excludes historical cost depreciation, among other items, from GAAP net income.

The Company believes that the use of FFO, combined with the required primary GAAP presentations, has been fundamentally beneficial, improving the understanding of operating results of REITs among the investing public and making comparisons of REIT operating results more meaningful. In addition to Company management evaluating the operating performance of its reportable segments based on FFO results, management uses FFO and FFO per share, along with other measures, to assess performance in connection with evaluating and granting incentive compensation to its officers and employees.

The notations (100%) and (JV) used in the following tables indicate wholly-owned and unconsolidated joint ventures, respectively, and all amounts are in thousands.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2003, 2002 AND 2001

1.	ORGANIZATION

CSC Associates, L.P. (“CSC” or the “Partnership”) was formed under the terms of a Limited Partnership Agreement dated September 29, 1989 and by the filing of its Certificate of Limited Partnership on October 27, 1989. C&S Premises, Inc. (“Premises”) and Cousins Properties Incorporated (“CPI”) each own a 1% general partnership and a 49% limited partnership interest in the Partnership. Premises is a wholly-owned subsidiary of NB Holdings Corporation, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bank of America Corporation. In 1996 Premises transferred its 1% general partnership interest in the partnership to C&S Premises-SPE, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Premises. The Partnership was formed for the purpose of developing and owning a 1.3 million gross square foot office tower in midtown Atlanta, Georgia (the “Building”), which is the Atlanta headquarters of Bank of America Corporation.

The Partnership Agreement and related documents (the “Agreements”) contain, among other provisions, the following:

	a.	CPI is the Managing Partner.

	b.	CPI contributed $18.2 million cash to the Partnership and Premises contributed land parcels to the Partnership having an aggregate agreed upon value of $18.2 million. The property value, in the opinion of the partners, was equal to the estimated fair market value of the land at the time of formation of the Partnership. The value of the property contributed by Premises was recorded on the Partnership’s books at an amount equal to the cash contributed by CPI for an equal (50%) partnership interest. 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 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 agreement).

In the event of dissolution of the Partnership, the assets will be distributed as follows:

	a.	First, to repay all debts to third parties, including any secured loans with the partners.

	b.	Second, to each partner until each capital account is reduced to zero.

	c.	The balance to each partner in accordance with its percentage interest.

2.	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Cost Capitalization—All costs related to planning, developing and constructing the Building, and expenses of the Building prior to the date it became operational for financial reporting purposes were capitalized. Interest and real estate taxes were also capitalized to the Building when it was under development. Costs related to improvements and additions made to the Building which add

S-6

to the future benefits of the Building or prolong the useful life of the Building, are capitalized upon completion of the improvement or addition.

Depreciation and Amortization - Real estate assets are stated at depreciated cost, and the Building is being depreciated over 40 years. Furniture, fixtures, and equipment are depreciated over three to five years. Leasehold improvements and tenant improvements are amortized over the life of the related leases or the useful life of the assets, whichever is shorter. Deferred expenses, which benefit the tenants for more than one year and are specified as amortizable in the tenants’ leases, are amortized over the period of estimated benefit. The straight-line method is used for all depreciation and amortization.

Long-Lived Assets - Long-lived assets include property, equipment and other assets which are held and used by the Partnership. These assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Impairment losses, if any, are recognized when the expected undiscounted future operating cash flows derived from such assets are less than their carrying value. Management believes no such impairments have occurred during the periods presented.

Cash and Cash Equivalents - Cash and cash equivalents include 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 or money market mutual funds.

Restricted Cash - Restricted cash includes reserve funds established under the debt agreement, as described in Note 4.

Rental Revenues - In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 13, Accounting for Leases, income on leases which include scheduled increases in rental rates over the lease term (other than scheduled increases based on the Consumer Price Index) and/or periods of free rent are recognized on a straight-line basis.

The Partnership also recognizes revenues for recoveries from tenants of operating expenses the Partnership paid on the tenants’ behalf. These operating expenses include items such as real estate taxes, insurance and other property operating costs.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts - The Partnership makes valuation adjustments to all tenant-related revenue based upon the tenant’s credit and business risk. The Partnership generally suspends the accrual of income on specific tenants where rental payments or reimbursements are delinquent 90 days or more. As of December 31, 2003 and 2002, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $1,000 and $0, respectively.

Income Taxes - The Partnership has elected to be treated as a partnership for income tax purposes. Taxable income or loss of the Partnership is reported in the income tax returns of the Partners. Accordingly, these financial statements do not reflect a provision for income taxes.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The estimated fair value of financial instruments is determined by the Partnership using available market information and appropriate valuation methods. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents and other current assets and liabilities are reasonable estimates of fair value. The fair value of the note payable and related note receivable was estimated using borrowing rates currently available to the Partnership for similar terms and was approximately $162 million and $148 million at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

S-7

Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements—In April 2002, SFAS No. 145, “Rescission of SFAS Nos. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of SFAS No.13, and Technical Corrections,” was issued. SFAS No. 145, among other things, eliminated the requirement that all gains and losses from the extinguishment of debt be aggregated and, if material, classified as an extraordinary item. However, a gain or loss arising from such an event or transaction would continue to be classified as an extraordinary item if the event or transaction is both unusual in nature and infrequent in occurrence per the criteria in APB No. 30, “Reporting the Results of Operations – Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions.” Adoption of SFAS No. 145, by the Partnership on January 1, 2003 did not have an effect on the operations or financial condition of the Partnership.

3.	RENTAL REVENUES

The Partnership leases property to Bank of America, N.A., as well as to unrelated third parties. The lease with Bank of America, N.A. is at a rate 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, 2003, future minimum rentals to be received under existing non-cancelable leases, excluding tenants’ current pro rata share of operating expenses, are as follows (dollars in thousands):

4.	NOTE PAYABLE AND NOTE RECEIVABLE

On February 6, 1996, the Partnership issued $80 million of 6.377% collateralized notes (the “Prior Notes”). The Prior Notes amortized in equal monthly installments of $590,680 based on a 20-year amortization schedule and were to mature February 15, 2011. The Prior Notes were non-recourse obligations of the Partnership and were secured by a Deed to Secure Debt, Assignment of Rents and Security Agreement covering the Partnership’s interest in the Building.

The Partnership then loaned the $80 million proceeds of the Prior Notes to CPI under a non-recourse loan (the “Prior CPI Loan”) secured by CPI’s interest in CSC under the same payment terms as those of the Prior Notes. CPI paid all costs of issuing the Prior Notes and the Prior CPI Loan, including a $400,000 fee to an affiliate of Bank of America Corporation. In addition, CPI paid a monthly fee to an affiliate of Bank of America Corporation of .025% of the outstanding principal balance of the Prior Notes. These fees totaled approximately $203,000 in 2001.

On February 22, 2002, CSC refinanced the Prior Notes, completing a $150 million non-recourse mortgage note payable (the “New Loan”) with an interest rate of 6.958% and a maturity of March 1, 2012. The New Loan is secured by CSC’s interest in the Building and related leases and agreements. CSC loaned the $150 million proceeds of the New Loan to CPI under a non-recourse loan (the “New CPI Loan”) secured by CPI’s interest in CSC under the same payment terms as those of the New Loan. CPI paid all costs of issuing the New Loan and the New CPI Loan, including a $750,000 fee to an affiliate of Bank of America Corporation.

The New Loan requires establishment of Reserve Funds for capital replacements and repairs for the Building and costs and expenses incurred with respect to leases. These funds are increased by $76,677 per month throughout the life of the loan. At December 31, 2003 and 2002, these Reserve Funds totaled approximately $1,611,000 and $690,000, respectively.

On March 15, 2002, $65,873,925 of the proceeds from the New Loan was used to pay off in full the Prior Notes. The $65,873,925 included $65,525,710 for the payoff of the principal balance as of February 15, 2002 (the last payment date of the Prior Notes) and $348,215 for accrued interest from February 15, 2002 through March 14, 2002. The Prior CPI Loan to CSC was also repaid in full.

The aggregate maturities of the New Loan and amounts to be received under the New CPI Loan at December 31, 2003 are as follows (dollars in thousands):


2004	$	2,412

6.	PARKING AGREEMENT

On February 7, 1996, CSC entered into a 25-year Cross Parking License Agreement (“Parking Agreement”) with the North Avenue Presbyterian Church (“NAPC”) which allows CSC the use of 200 parking spaces in NAPC’s parking deck which is located adjacent to NAPC. The agreement commenced on October 1, 1996. CSC paid a $1,000,000 contribution toward the construction cost of the parking deck as consideration for the Parking Agreement. The $1,000,000 contribution plus additional costs of approximately $23,000 are included in Other Assets and are being amortized over the 25-year life of the Parking Agreement. NAPC may reduce the number of parking spaces available to the Partnership or may terminate the Parking Agreement under certain conditions after the sixth year, at which time a partial refund of the $1,000,000 would be due to CSC. In addition, CSC is responsible for the maintenance of the parking deck and the payment of the related operating expenses.
