NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2001
(UNAUDITED)





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

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

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

The Consolidated Financial Statements were prepared by the Company
without audit, but in the opinion of management reflect all adjustments
necessary (which adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature) for the fair
presentation of the Company's financial position as of June 30, 2001 and results
of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000.
Results of operations for the interim 2001 periods are not necessarily
indicative of results expected for the full year. While certain information and
footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company believes that the disclosures
herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These
condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto included in the
Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000. The
accounting policies employed are the same as those shown in Note 1 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements included in such Form 10-K. On October 2,
2000, a 3-for-2 stock split effected in the form of a 50% stock dividend was
awarded to stockholders of record on September 15, 2000. All prior period shares
outstanding and per share amounts have been restated for the effect of the stock
dividend.

Certain 2000 amounts have been reclassified to conform with the 2001
presentation.



2. SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION CONCERNING CASH FLOWS

5. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
- ------------------------------------

In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
No. 141, "Business Combinations" ("SFAS 141") and Statement No. 142, "Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142"). SFAS 141 eliminates pooling of
interest accounting and requires all business combinations initiated after June
30, 2001 to be accounted for using the purchase method. SFAS 142 eliminates the
amortization of goodwill and certain other intangible assets and requires that
goodwill be evaluated for impairment by applying a fair value-based test. The
Company will adopt the standard effective January 1, 2002 for previous
acquisitions and June 30, 2001 for prospective acquisitions. Amortization of
goodwill was approximately $180,000 and $291,000 in the three and six month 2001
periods, respectively.

6. 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 are being held
for future development. The Land Division also develops single-family
residential communities which are parceled into lots and sold to various home
builders.

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

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30,
2001 and 2000

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

Rental Property Revenues and Operating Expenses. Rental property
revenues increased approximately $8,448,000 and $21,386,000 in the three and six
month 2001 periods, respectively. Rental property revenues from the Company's
office portfolio increased approximately $7,091,000 and $17,064,000 in the three
and six month 2001 periods, respectively. The December 2000 acquisitions of One
Georgia Center and The Points at Waterview increased rental property revenues by
approximately $1,730,000 and $1,015,000, respectively, in the three month 2001
period and $3,514,000 and $2,115,000, respectively, in the six month 2001
period. Four office buildings, 101 Second Street, 1900 Duke Street, 555 North
Point Center East and 600 University Park, which became partially operational in
April 2000, October 2000, February 2000 and June 2000, respectively, contributed
approximately $486,000, $823,000, $291,000 and $507,000, respectively, to the
increase in the three month 2001 period and approximately $4,759,000,
$1,401,000, $868,000 and $1,054,000, respectively, to the increase in the six
month 2001 period. Additionally, rental property revenues from Inforum increased
approximately $832,000 and $1,271,000 in the three and six month 2001 periods,
respectively, as the average economic occupancy increased from 84% for the six
month 2000 period to 98% for the six month 2001 period. Rental property revenues
increased approximately $481,000 and $541,000 in the three and six month 2001
periods, respectively, from AT&T Wireless Services Headquarters. Furthermore,
rental property revenues increased approximately $192,000 in both the three and
six month 2001 periods from Cerritos Corporate Center - Phase II, which became
fully operational for financial reporting purposes in June 2001. Rental property
revenues from 615 Peachtree Street increased approximately $302,000 in the six
month 2001 period as the average economic occupancy increased from 78% in 2000
to 94% in 2001, and rental property revenues from Northside/Alpharetta II
increased approximately $287,000 in the six month 2001 period as the average
economic occupancy increased from 56% in 2000 to 68% in 2001.

Rental property revenues from the Company's retail portfolio increased
approximately $1,283,000 and $4,197,000 in the three and six month 2001 periods,
respectively. Rental property revenues increased approximately $1,274,000 and
$3,048,000 in the three and six month 2001 periods, respectively, from Mira Mesa
MarketCenter, and approximately $829,000 and $2,549,000 in the three and six
month 2001 periods, respectively, from The Avenue of the Peninsula, both of
which became partially operational for financial reporting purposes in May 2000.
Rental property revenues increased approximately $422,000 in both the three and
six month 2001 periods from The Avenue Peachtree City, which became partially
operational for financial reporting purposes in April 2001. Rental property
revenues increased approximately $201,000 and $470,000 in the three and six
month 2001 periods, respectively, from The Avenue East Cobb, and approximately
$186,000 and $370,000 in the three and six month 2001 periods, respectively,
from Salem Road Station, which properties became partially operational for
financial reporting purposes in September 1999 and October 2000, respectively.
Rental property revenues also increased approximately $303,000 in the six month
2001 period from Presidential MarketCenter as an additional phase of the center
became partially operational in October 2000, and as the average economic
occupancy of the original center increased from 89% in 2000 to 92% in 2001.
The increase in rental property revenues was partially offset by the sale
of Colonial Plaza MarketCenter in February 2001, which decreased rental property
revenues by approximately $1,773,000 and $2,400,000 in the three and six month
2001 periods, respectively. Additionally, the sale of Laguna Niguel Promenade in
March 2000 decreased rental property revenues by approximately $595,000 in the
six month 2001 period.

Rental property operating expenses increased approximately $2,518,000
and $6,486,000 in the three and six month periods, respectively, due to the
aforementioned office buildings and retail centers becoming partially
operational for financial reporting purposes and the aforementioned acquisitions
of One Georgia Center and The Points at Waterview.

Development Income. Development income increased approximately $627,000
and $1,089,000 in the three and six month 2001 periods, respectively.
Development income increased approximately $82,000 and $409,000 in the three and
six month 2001 periods, respectively, from the third party development of the
Turner Tower and approximately $88,000 and $204,000 in the three and six month
2001 periods, respectively, from the third party development of The Arboretum.
Additionally, development income increased approximately $697,000 and $921,000
in the three and six month 2001 periods, respectively, from Cousins Properties
Services LP ("CPS," formerly Cousins Stone LP until name was changed effective
August 6, 2001). Effective March 1, 2001, the Company purchased the remaining
25% interest in CPS, at which point the Company consolidated the operations of
CPS, which had previously been accounted for using the equity method of
accounting and therefore recognized as joint venture income. Tenant construction
fees of approximately $75,000 and $225,000 in the three and six month 2001
periods, respectively, from the Crawford Long joint venture medical office
building also contributed to the increase in development income. The increase
was partially offset by a decrease in development income of approximately
$183,000 and $392,000 in the three and six month 2001 periods, respectively,
from Charlotte Gateway Village, LLC, as construction of Gateway Village has been
substantially completed, and a decrease of approximately $82,000 and $238,000 in
the three and six month 2001 periods, respectively, from 285 Venture, LLC, as
construction of 1155 Perimeter Center West has been substantially completed.

Management Fees. Management fees increased approximately $737,000 and
$994,000 in the three and six month 2001 periods, respectively. The increase in
management fees was mainly due to the aforementioned consolidation of CPS, which
contributed approximately $786,000 and $1,090,000 to the increase in the three
and six month 2001 periods, respectively. The increase was partially offset by a
decrease in management fees of approximately $189,000 and $354,000 in the three
and six month 2001 periods, respectively, due to the disposition of the medical
office third party management division in October 2000.



Leasing and Other Fees. Leasing and other fees increased approximately
$875,000 and $1,175,000 in the three and six month 2001 periods, respectively.
Leasing and other fees increased approximately $1,146,000 and $1,367,000 in the
three and six month 2001 periods, respectively, due to the aforementioned
consolidation of CPS. The increase was partially offset by a decrease of
approximately $367,000 and $405,000 in the three and six month 2001 periods,
respectively, from the aforementioned disposition of the medical office third
party management division in October 2000. This division recognized a fee of
approximately $330,000 in the second quarter of 2000 for representing the owners
of a third party managed property in the sale of that property.

Residential Lot and Outparcel Sales and Cost of Sales. Residential lot
and outparcel sales decreased approximately $2,413,000 and $2,003,000 in the
three and six month 2001 periods, respectively. The decrease in the three month
2001 period was partially due to a decrease in residential lots sold from 86
lots in 2000 to 30 lots in 2001, which decreased residential lot sales by
approximately $1,988,000. A subsidiary of CREC recognized one outparcel sale of
approximately $425,000 in the second quarter of 2000, as compared to none in
2001, which further contributed to the decrease in residential lot and outparcel
sales. The decrease in the six month 2001 period was also partially due to a
decrease in residential lots sold from 115 lots in 2000 to 75 lots in 2001,
which decreased residential lot sales by approximately $928,000. Also
contributing to the decrease were two outparcel sales recognized by a subsidiary
of CREC in 2000 totaling approximately $1,075,000, as compared to no outparcel
sales in 2001.

Residential lot and outparcel cost of sales decreased approximately
$2,259,000 and $1,814,000 in the three and six month 2001 periods, respectively.
Residential lot cost of sales decreased approximately $1,933,000 and $1,082,000
in the three and six month 2001 periods, respectively, due to the aforementioned
decrease in the number of lots sold. The decrease in cost of sales was greater
than the corresponding decrease in sales in the six month 2001 period due to an
increase in the gross profit percentages used to calculate the cost of sales on
residential lot sales in certain of the residential developments. The decrease
in residential lot and outparcel cost of sales was also due to a decrease in
outparcel cost of sales of approximately $326,000 and $732,000 in the three and
six month 2001 periods, respectively, due to the aforementioned outparcel sales
in 2000.

Interest and Other Income. Interest and other income increased
approximately $159,000 and $496,000 in the three and six month 2001 periods,
respectively. Approximately $327,000 and $654,000 of the increase in the three
and six month 2001 periods, respectively, was due to interest income recognized
in 2001 from the additional interest income on the 650 Massachusetts Avenue
mortgage notes (see Note 3 of "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" in
the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000).
The increase was partially offset by a decrease of approximately $122,000 in
both the three and six month 2001 periods due primarily to interest income
recognized on the proceeds from the sale of Laguna Niguel Promenade in March
2000, which were placed in escrow pending reinvestment.

Income from Unconsolidated Joint Ventures. (All amounts reflect the
Company's share of joint venture income.) Income from unconsolidated joint
ventures increased approximately $1,233,000 and $2,861,000 in the three and six
month 2001 periods, respectively.

Income from Wildwood Associates increased approximately $398,000 and
$783,000 in the three and six month 2001 periods, respectively. Income before
depreciation, amortization and interest expense from the 3200 Windy Hill Road
Building increased approximately $176,000 and $352,000 in the three and six
month 2001 periods, respectively, due to the renewal at a higher rate of a
significant tenant's lease. Additionally, income before depreciation,
amortization and interest expense from the 2300 Windy Ridge Parkway Building
increased by approximately $106,000 in the six month 2001 period, as average
economic occupancy increased from 99% in 2000 to 100% in 2001. Interest expense
decreased approximately $107,000 in the six month 2001 period due to reduced
mortgage note payable balances.

Income from 285 Venture, LLC increased approximately $378,000 and
$899,000 in the three and six month 2001 periods, respectively, as the average
economic occupancy at 1155 Perimeter Center West increased from 18% for the six
month 2000 period to 87% for the six month 2001 period.

Income from Cousins LORET, L.L.C. increased approximately $101,000 and
$268,000 in the three and six month 2001 periods, respectively. The increase was
mainly due to an increase in average economic occupancy at The Pinnacle from 89%
for the six month 2000 period to 98% for the six month 2001 period.

Income from Temco Associates increased approximately $620,000 and
$833,000 in the three and six month 2001 periods, respectively, partially due to
profits recognized from 130 lot sales at the Bentwater residential development.
The first quarter of 2001 was the first period in which profits from lot sales
were recognized. Additionally, approximately 85 acres of land were sold for a
gross profit of approximately $360,000 in the three month 2001 period as
compared to no land sales in the same period of 2000.

Income from Charlotte Gateway Village, LLC increased approximately
$97,000 and $188,000 in the three and six month 2001 periods, respectively, due
to the Company recognizing its 11.46% preferred return on its equity beginning
in the third quarter of 2000.

Income from CPS decreased approximately $470,000 and $434,000 in the
three and six month 2001 periods, respectively, due to the aforementioned
consolidation of Cousins Stone LP on March 1, 2001.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative
expenses increased approximately $1,925,000 and $3,482,000 in the three and six
month 2001 periods, respectively. The increase was partially attributable to the
aforementioned consolidation of CPS. Also partially contributing to the increase
in general and administrative expenses was a decrease in general and
administrative expenses capitalized to projects under development due to a lower
level of projects under development in 2001.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased
approximately $3,030,000 and $7,181,000 in the three and six month 2001 periods,
respectively, due to the aforementioned office buildings and retail centers
becoming partially operational for financial reporting purposes and the
aforementioned acquisitions of One Georgia Center and The Points at Waterview.

Stock Appreciation Right Expense (Credit). Stock appreciation right
expense decreased approximately $502,000 from an expense of $366,000 in the six
month 2000 period to a credit of $136,000 in the six month 2001 period. This
non-cash item is primarily related to the Company's stock price, which was
$27.9375, $25.01 and $26.85 at December 31, 2000, March 31, 2001 and June 30,
2001, respectively; and $22.625, $24.5417 and $25.667 at December 31, 1999,
March 31, 2000 and June 30, 2000, respectively.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased approximately $3,552,000
and $10,226,000 in the three and six month 2001 periods, respectively.
Interest expense before capitalization increased to approximately $8,966,000 and
$18,451,000 in the three and six month 2001 periods, respectively, from
approximately $6,772,000 and $13,152,000 in the three and six month 2000
periods, respectively, due to higher average debt levels. Also contributing to
this increase in interest expense was a decrease of approximately $1,358,000 and
$4,927,000 in the three and six month periods, respectively, in interest
capitalized to projects under development (a reduction of interest expense) to
approximately $2,416,000 and $4,730,000 in the three and six month 2001 periods,
respectively, from approximately $3,774,000 and $9,657,000 in the three and six
month 2000 periods, respectively, due to a lower level of projects under
development in 2001.

Property Taxes on Undeveloped Land. Property taxes on undeveloped land
increased approximately $418,000 in the six month 2001 period due to the
reversal in 2000 of estimated amounts accrued for anticipated reassessments of
the Company's North Point and Wildwood land holdings. The final reassessments,
after appeal, were lower than the anticipated reassessments, and the accrual was
reduced.

Other Expense. Other expense increased approximately $664,000 and
$820,000 in the three and six month 2001 periods, respectively. The
increase was partially due to increased minority interest expense of
approximately $447,000 and $431,000 in the three and six month 2001 periods,
respectively, mainly due to the minority interest's current cash flow
participation in 101 Second Street, which became partially operational for
financial reporting purposes in April 2000. Additionally, predevelopment expense
increased approximately $217,000 and $389,000 in the three and six month 2001
periods, respectively.

Gain on Sale of Investment Properties. Gain on sale of investment
properties decreased approximately $498,000 in the three month 2001 period and
increased approximately $9,555,000 in the six month 2001 period. The 2001 gain
included the following: the February 2001 sale of Colonial Plaza MarketCenter
($17.0 million), the February 2001 disposition of leasehold interests in Summit
Green ($.2 million) and the amortization of deferred gain from CP Venture LLC
($2.2 million). The 2000 gain included the following: the March 2000 sale of
Laguna Niguel Promenade ($7.2 million), the April 2000 sale of a tract of land
at North Point ($.6 million) and the amortization of deferred gain from CP
Venture LLC ($2.1 million).

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

Financial Condition. The Company's adjusted debt (including its pro
rata share of unconsolidated joint venture debt) was 35% of total market
capitalization at June 30, 2001. Adjusted debt is defined as the Company's debt
and the Company's pro rata share of unconsolidated joint venture debt as
disclosed in Note 4 of "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" in the
Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000,
excluding the Charlotte Gateway Village, LLC debt as it is fully exculpated debt
which is supported by a long-term lease to Bank of America Corporation. The
Company temporarily increased its $150 million credit facility to $225 million,
which increase expires August 31, 2001. The Company had $179.8 million drawn on
this credit facility as of June 30, 2001.

The Company has development and acquisition projects in various
planning stages. The Company currently intends to finance these projects, as
well as the completion of projects currently under construction, using its
existing 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. In September
1996, the Company filed a shelf registration statement with the Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC") for the offering from time to time of up to $200
million of common stock, warrants to purchase common stock and debt securities,
of which approximately $132 million remains available at June 30, 2001.

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

Cash Flows. Net cash provided by operating activities decreased
approximately $.3 million in 2001. Operating distributions from unconsolidated
joint ventures decreased approximately $3.6 million, which contributed
to the decrease in net cash provided by operating activities. Operating
distributions decreased approximately $2.9 million from Wildwood Associates,
$1.8 million from Temco Associates and $1.4 million from CPS. Partially
offsetting the decrease in operating distributions was an increase in operating
distributions from 285 Venture, LLC of approximately $1.2 million and CSC
Associates, L.P. of approximately $.9 million. Income from unconsolidated joint
ventures increased approximately $2.9 million, which also contributed to the
decrease in net cash provided by operating activities. Further contributing to
the decrease in net cash provided by operating activities was a decrease in
residential lot and outparcel cost of sales of approximately $2.1 million.
Depreciation and amortization increased approximately $7.7 million due to the
aforementioned office buildings and retail centers becoming operational, as well
as the acquisitions of One Georgia Center and The Points at Waterview, which
partially offset the decrease in net cash provided by operating activities.

Net cash used in investing activities decreased approximately $19.5
million in 2001. Net cash provided by sales activities increased approximately
$27.5 million, which contributed to the decrease in net cash used in investing
activities, due primarily to the sale of Colonial Plaza MarketCenter in February
2001. The decrease in net cash used in investing activities was also partially
due to a decrease of approximately $5.1 million in property acquisition and
development expenditures, as a result of the Company having a lower level of
projects under development. Investment in unconsolidated joint ventures
increased approximately $8.4 million, which partially offset the decrease in net
cash used in investing activities. Contributions to CPI/FSP I, L.P. increased
approximately $9.3 million and contributions to Crawford Long - CPI, LLC
increased approximately $6.0 million in 2001. The increase in investment in
unconsolidated joint ventures was partially offset by a decrease in
contributions to 285 Venture, LLC of approximately $6.9 million. Change in other
assets, net, also increased approximately $1.7 million, which further offset the
aforementioned decrease in net cash used in investing activities. Net cash paid
in acquisition of business, which resulted from the acquisition of the remaining
25% interest in CPS, further offset the decrease in net cash used in investing
activities by approximately $2.1 million.

Net cash provided by financing activities decreased approximately $17.1
million in 2001, which was primarily attributable to a decrease of approximately
$58.9 million in proceeds from other notes payable. The Company completed the
$90 million financing of 101 Second Street in April 2000, as compared to the $28
million financing of Presidential MarketCenter completed in May 2001. An
increase in the dividends paid per share to $.34 in 2001 from $.30 in 2000 and
an increase in the number of shares outstanding also contributed to the decrease
in net cash provided by financing activities, as dividends paid increased
approximately $4.5 million. Partially offsetting the decrease was an increase of
