NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 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 (benefit) provision
for CREC and CREC II's income taxes.

The Consolidated Financial Statements were prepared by the Company
without audit, but in the opinion of management reflect all adjustments
necessary (which adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature) for the fair
presentation of the Company's financial position as of September 30, 2001 and
results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 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
interests 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 the Company adopted the standard effective June 30, 2001 for
prospective acquisitions. Amortization of goodwill was approximately $181,000
and $473,000 in the three and nine month 2001 periods, respectively. The Company
expects to complete its first fair-value based impairment tests by June 30,
2002.

6. COMMON STOCK REPURCHASES
- ----------------------------

During September 2001, the Company repurchased 527,400 shares of its
outstanding common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $12,474,994.

7. 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 revised
its method of allocating costs to its reportable segments in the third quarter
of 2001. Prior period reportable segments have not been restated as it is
impractical to do so.

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 Nine Months Ended
September 30, 2001 and 2000

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

Rental Property Revenues and Operating Expenses. Rental property
revenues increased approximately $6,848,000 and $27,712,000 in the three and
nine month 2001 periods, respectively. Rental property revenues from the
Company's office portfolio increased approximately $6,562,000 and $23,303,000 in
the three and nine month 2001 periods, respectively. The December 2000
acquisitions of One Georgia Center and The Points at Waterview increased rental
property revenues by approximately $1,780,000 and $692,000, respectively, in the
three month 2001 period and $5,284,000 and $2,799,000, respectively, in the nine
month 2001 period. Four office buildings, 555 North Point Center East, 101
Second Street, 600 University Park Place and 1900 Duke Street, which became
partially operational in February 2000, April 2000, June 2000 and October 2000,
respectively, contributed approximately $46,000, $269,000, $351,000 and
$849,000, respectively, to the increase in the three month 2001 period and
approximately $913,000, $5,028,000, $1,406,000 and $2,250,000, respectively, to
the increase in the nine month 2001 period. Additionally, rental property
revenues from Inforum increased approximately $502,000 and $1,773,000 in the
three and nine month 2001 periods, respectively, as the average economic
occupancy increased from 85% for the nine month 2000 period to 98% for the nine
month 2001 period. Rental property revenues increased approximately $115,000 and
$634,000 in the three and nine month 2001 periods, respectively, from AT&T
Wireless Services Headquarters. Furthermore, rental property revenues increased
approximately $1,026,000 and $1,218,000 in the three and nine month 2001
periods, respectively, from Cerritos Corporate Center - Phase II, which became
fully operational for financial reporting purposes in June 2001. Rental property
revenues from 333 John Carlyle increased ___ approximately $181,000 and $422,000
in the three and nine month 2001 periods, respectively, as the average economic
occupancy increased from 88% for the nine month 2000 period to 93% for the nine
month 2001 period. Rental property revenues from 615 Peachtree Street increased
approximately $128,000 and $430,000 in the three and nine month 2001 periods,
respectively, as the average economic occupancy increased from 79% in the nine
month 2000 period to 95% in the nine month 2001 period. Rental property revenues
from Northside/Alpharetta II increased approximately $127,000 and $414,000 in
the three and nine month 2001 periods, respectively, as the average economic
occupancy increased from 59% in the nine month 2000 period to 70% in nine month
2001 period, and rental revenues from Meridian Mark Plaza increased
approximately $105,000 and $317,000 in the three and nine month 2001 periods,
respectively, as average economic occupancy increased from 91% in the nine month
2000 period to 94% in the nine month 2001 period. Additionally, rental property
revenues from 3301 Windy Ridge Parkway increased approximately $230,000 in the
nine month 2001 period due to the renewal of the existing lease for 100% of the
building at a higher rental rate.

Rental property revenues from the Company's retail portfolio increased
approximately $238,000 and $4,218,000 in the three and nine month 2001 periods,
respectively. Rental property revenues increased approximately $606,000 and
$3,647,000 in the three and nine month 2001 periods, respectively, from Mira
Mesa MarketCenter, and approximately $337,000 and $2,821,000 in the three and
nine 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 $668,000 and $1,090,000 in the
three and nine month 2001 periods, respectively, from The Avenue Peachtree City,
which became partially operational for financial reporting purposes in April
2001. Rental property revenues increased approximately $151,000 and $543,000 in
the three and nine month 2001 periods, respectively, from The Avenue East Cobb,
and approximately $177,000 and $548,000 in the three and nine 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 $200,000 and $508,000 in the three and nine month 2001 periods,
respectively, 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 88% in 2000 to 93% 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 $1,742,000 and $4,216,000 in the three and nine month
2001 periods, respectively. Additionally, the sale of Laguna Niguel Promenade in
March 2000 decreased rental property revenues by approximately $595,000 in the
nine month 2001 period.

Rental property operating expenses increased approximately $2,936,000
and $9,009,000 in the three and nine month periods, respectively, due to the
aforementioned office buildings and retail centers being either leased up or
becoming partially operational for financial reporting purposes and the
aforementioned acquisitions of One Georgia Center and The Points at Waterview.
The increases in rental property operating expenses were partially offset by the
aforementioned sales of Colonial Plaza MarketCenter and Laguna Niguel Promenade.

Development Income. Development income increased approximately $667,000
and $1,756,000 in the three and nine month 2001 periods, respectively.
Development income increased approximately $172,000 and $376,000 in the three
and nine month 2001 periods, respectively, from the third party
development of The Arboretum. Additionally, development income increased
approximately $252,000 and $1,173,000 in the three and nine 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. Development income also increased approximately $150,000 and
$216,000 in the three and nine month 2001 periods, respectively, from the third
party development of Winrock, and increased approximately $409,000 in the nine
month 2001 period from the third party development of the Turner Tower. Tenant
construction fees of approximately $75,000 and $300,000 in the three and nine
month 2001 periods, respectively, from the Crawford Long joint venture medical
office building and tenant construction fees of approximately $433,000 in both
the three and nine month 2001 periods from a tenant at Inforum also contributed
to the increase in development income. The increase was partially offset by a
decrease in development income of approximately $300,000 and $692,000 in the
three and nine month 2001 periods, respectively, from Charlotte Gateway Village,
LLC, as construction of Gateway Village has been substantially completed, and a
decrease of approximately $192,000 and $449,000 in the three and nine 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 $885,000 and
$1,879,000 in the three and nine month 2001 periods, respectively. The increase
in management fees was mainly due to the aforementioned consolidation of CPS,
which contributed approximately $934,000 and $2,023,000 to the increase in the
three and nine month 2001 periods, respectively. The increase was also due to an
increase in management fees of approximately $131,000 for the nine month 2001
period from 1155 Perimeter Center West, which became partially operational for
financial reporting purposes in December 2000. The increase was partially offset
by a decrease in management fees of approximately $151,000 and $506,000 in the
three and nine 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
$1,274,000 and $2,449,000 in the three and nine month 2001 periods,
respectively. Leasing and other fees increased approximately $1,137,000 and
$2,503,000 in the three and nine month 2001 periods, respectively, due to the
aforementioned consolidation of CPS. Leasing and other fees also increased
approximately $161,000 in the nine month 2001 period from Charlotte Gateway
Village, LLC from the leasing of the retail space at Gateway Village. The
increase in the nine month 2001 period was partially offset by a decrease of
approximately $405,000 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 $1,358,000 and $3,361,000 in the
three and nine month 2001 periods, respectively. The decrease in the three month
2001 period was due to a decrease in residential lots sold from 67 lots in 2000
to 29 lots in 2001, which decreased residential lot sales by approximately
$1,358,000. The decrease in the nine month 2001 period was partially due to a
decrease in residential lots sold from 182 lots in 2000 to 104 lots in 2001,
which decreased residential lot sales by approximately $2,286,000. Also
contributing to the decrease in the nine month 2001 period 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
$638,000 and $2,452,000 in the three and nine month 2001 periods, respectively.
Residential lot cost of sales decreased approximately $638,000 and $1,760,000 in
the three and nine month 2001 periods, respectively, due to the aforementioned
decrease in the number of lots sold. The decrease in cost of sales was less than
the corresponding decrease in sales in the three and nine month 2001 periods 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 $692,000 in the nine month
2001 period due to the aforementioned outparcel sales in 2000.

Interest and Other Income. Interest and other income decreased
approximately $294,000 and increased approximately $233,000 in the three and
nine month 2001 periods, respectively. Approximately $654,000 of the increase in
the nine month 2001 period was due to interest income recognized beginning in
the third quarter of 2000 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). A decrease of approximately $234,000 and $286,000 in
the three and nine month 2001 periods, respectively, from the Gateway Village
mezzanine loan also contributed to the decrease in the three month 2001 period
and partially offset the increase in the nine month 2001 period. The Gateway
Village mezzanine loan bears an interest rate tied to the London Interbank
Offering Rate, which decreased in the nine month 2001 period as compared to the
nine month 2000 period.

Income from Unconsolidated Joint Ventures. (All amounts reflect the
Company's share of joint venture income.) Income from unconsolidated joint
ventures increased approximately $444,000 and $3,305,000 in the three and nine
month 2001 periods, respectively.

Income from Wildwood Associates increased approximately $356,000 and
$1,139,000 in the three and nine month 2001 periods, respectively. Income before
depreciation, amortization and interest expense from the 3200 Windy Hill Road
Building increased approximately $210,000 and $562,000 in the three and nine
month 2001 periods, respectively, due to the renewal of a significant tenant's
lease at a higher rental rate. Additionally, income before depreciation,
amortization and interest expense from the 2300 Windy Ridge Parkway Building
increased by approximately $172,000 in the nine month 2001 period, as average
economic occupancy increased from 99% in 2000 to 100% in 2001. Interest expense
decreased approximately $160,000 in the nine month 2001 period due to reduced
mortgage note payable balances, which also contributed to the increase in income
from Wildwood Associates.

Income from 285 Venture, LLC increased approximately $495,000 and
$1,396,000 in the three and nine month 2001 periods, respectively, as the
average economic occupancy at 1155 Perimeter Center West increased from 18% for
the nine month 2000 period to 100% for the nine month 2001 period.

Income from Cousins LORET, L.L.C. increased approximately $99,000 and
$367,000 in the three and nine month 2001 periods, respectively. The increase
was mainly due to an increase in average economic occupancy at The Pinnacle from
91% for the nine month 2000 period to 98% for the nine month 2001 period.

Income from Temco Associates increased approximately $440,000 and
$1,272,000 in the three and nine month 2001 periods, respectively, partially due
to profits recognized from 200 lot sales in the nine month 2001 period at the
Bentwater residential development. The first quarter of 2001 was the first
period in which profits from lot sales were recognized. Additionally,
approximately 147 and 232 acres of land were sold for gross profits of
approximately $273,000 and $633,000 in the three and nine month 2001 periods,
respectively, as compared to no land sales in the same periods of 2000.

Income from CSC Associates, L.P. increased approximately $190,000 in
the nine month 2001 period as average economic occupancy at Bank of America
Plaza increased from 98% for the nine month 2000 period to 100% for the nine
month 2001 period.

Income from Charlotte Gateway Village, LLC decreased approximately
$578,000 and $390,000 in the three and nine month 2001 periods, respectively,
due to the Company recognizing its 11.46% current preferred return on its equity
beginning in the third quarter of 2000.

Income from CPS decreased approximately $544,000 and $978,000 in the
three and nine month 2001 periods, respectively, due to the aforementioned
consolidation of CPS on March 1, 2001.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative
expenses increased approximately $2,351,000 and $5,754,000 in the three and nine
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 $2,531,000 and $9,712,000 in the three and nine month 2001
periods, respectively, due to the aforementioned office buildings and retail
centers becoming either leased up or partially operational for financial
reporting purposes and the aforementioned acquisitions of One Georgia Center and
The Points at Waterview. The increase in depreciation and amortization was
partially offset by the aforementioned sales of Colonial Plaza MarketCenter and
Laguna Niguel Promenade.

Stock Appreciation Right (Credit) Expense. Stock appreciation
right (credit) expense decreased approximately $446,000 from an expense of
$318,000 in the three month 2000 period to a credit of $128,000 in the three
month 2001 period and decreased approximately $949,000 from an expense of
$684,000 in the nine month 2000 period to a credit of $265,000 in the nine month
2001 period. This non-cash item is primarily related to the Company's stock
price, which was $27.9375, $26.85 and $24.75 at December 31, 2000, June 30, 2001
and September 30, 2001, respectively; and $22.625, $25.667 and $28.7083 at
December 31, 1999, June 30, 2000 and September 30, 2000, respectively.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased approximately $2,371,000
and $12,597,000 in the three and nine month 2001 periods, respectively. Interest
expense before capitalization increased to approximately $9,244,000 and
$27,695,000 in the three and nine month 2001 periods, respectively, from
approximately $7,464,000 and $20,616,000 in the three and nine month 2000
periods, respectively, due to higher average debt levels. Also contributing to
this increase in interest expense was a decrease of approximately $591,000 and
$5,518,000 in the three and nine month periods, respectively, in interest
capitalized to projects under development (a reduction of interest expense) to
approximately $2,399,000 and $7,129,000 in the three and nine month 2001
periods, respectively, from approximately $2,990,000 and $12,647,000 in the
three and nine 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 $304,000 in the nine 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 decreased approximately $523,000 and
increased approximately $299,000 in the three and nine month 2001 periods,
respectively. The decrease was partially due to decreased minority interest
expense in the three month 2001 period of approximately $233,000 and increased
minority interest expense in the nine month 2001 period of approximately
$194,000 mainly due to fluctuations in 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
decreased approximately $290,000 and increased approximately $105,000 in the
three and nine month 2001 periods, respectively.

Gain on Sale of Investment Properties. Gain on sale of investment
properties increased approximately $9,558,000 in the nine month 2001 period. The
2001 gain included the following: the February 2001 sale of Colonial Plaza
MarketCenter ($17.1 million), the February 2001 disposition of leasehold
interests in Summit Green ($.2 million) and the amortization of deferred gain
from CP Venture LLC ($3.1 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 ($3.0 million).

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

Financial Condition. The Company's adjusted debt (including its pro
rata share of unconsolidated joint venture debt) was 38% of total market
capitalization at September 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. In
August 2001, the Company amended and increased its credit facility to $275
million, which expires August 31, 2004 (see Note 3). The Company had $207.8
million drawn on this credit facility as of September 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 September 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 $13.3 million in 2001. Changes in other operating assets and
liabilities decreased approximately $12.1 million. Operating distributions from
unconsolidated joint ventures decreased approximately $5.2 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 $2.4 million from CPS.
Partially offsetting the decrease in operating distributions was an increase in
operating distributions from 285 Venture, LLC of approximately $1.6 million and
CSC Associates, L.P. of approximately $.9 million. Income from unconsolidated
joint ventures increased approximately $3.3 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 $2.9 million.
Depreciation and amortization increased approximately $10.5 million, which
partially offset the decrease in net cash provided by operating activities.

Net cash used in investing activities decreased approximately $36.1
million in 2001. Net cash provided by sales activities increased approximately
$27.7 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 $14.9 million in property acquisition and
development expenditures, as a result of the Company having a lower level of
projects under development. Change in other assets, net, increased approximately
$4.6 million, which partially 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 $24.1
million in 2001, which was primarily attributable to a decrease of approximately
$109.5 million in proceeds from other notes payable. The Company completed the
$90 million financing of 101 Second Street in April 2000, the $39 million
financing of The Avenue East Cobb in July 2000 and the $25.5 million financing
of Meridian Mark Plaza in August 2000. The Company completed the $28 million
financing of Presidential MarketCenter in May 2001 and the $14 million financing
of 600 University Park Place in July 2001. An increase in the dividends paid per
share to $1.02 in 2001 from $.90 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 $6.8 million. The Company
repurchased 527,400 shares of its outstanding common stock in September 2001,
which contributed approximately $12.5 million to the decrease in net cash
provided by financing activities. Partially offsetting the decrease was an
increase of approximately $101.6 million in the net amount drawn on the
Company's credit facility. Common stock sold, net of expenses, increased by
approximately $1.4 million and repayment of other notes payable decreased by
approximately $1.7 million, both of which further partially offset the decrease
in net cash provided by financing activities.
