Annual Report (Form 10-K), fiscal year 1994

ITEM 1.BUSINESS CORPORATE PROFILE Cousins Properties Incorporated (the "Registrant" or "Cousins") is a Georgia corporation, which since 1987 has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust ("REIT"). Cousins Real Estate Corporation ("CREC"), a taxable entity consolidated with the Registrant, owns, develops, leases, and manages a portion of the Company's real estate portfolio. Cousins/New Market Development Company, Inc. ("CNM") is a subsidiary of CREC which develops retail shopping centers. The Registrant, together with CREC, CNM and CREC's other consolidated entities, is hereafter referred to as the "Company." Cousins is an Atlanta-based, fully integrated equity real estate investment trust. The Company has extensive experience in the real estate industry, including the acquisition, financing, development, management and leasing of properties. Cousins has been a public company since 1962, and its common stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange. The Company owns a portfolio of well- located, high-quality retail and office developments and holds several tracts of strategically located undeveloped land. The Company's holdings are concentrated in the southeastern United States, primarily in the Atlanta area. The strategies employed to achieve the Company's investment goals include the development of properties which are substantially precommitted to quality tenants; maintaining high levels of occupancy within owned properties; the selective sale of assets and the acquisition of quality income-producing properties at attractive prices. The Company also seeks to be opportunistic and take advantage of normal real estate business cycles. The notes referenced in the discussion below are the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" included in the financial section of the Registrant's 1994 Annual Report to Stockholders. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF COMPANY INVESTMENTS Presently, the Company owns, directly and indirectly, equity interests of at least 50% in nine high-quality commercial office buildings, primarily in the Atlanta, Georgia area, with aggregate rentable space of approximately 3.9 million square feet (4.4 million gross square feet). (This total includes the Wildwood 3100 Windy Hill Road building, from which the Company derives substantially all of the economic benefits through a ground lease and first mortgage note (see Note 3)). The Company also owns a 9.8% interest in and manages a 1.2 million square foot building in Atlanta, Georgia. In addition to the above completed office buildings, the Company has two office buildings that are currently under construction totaling 349,000 square feet. The Company believes that its portfolio of commercial office buildings is currently the largest (measured by leasable area) in the southeastern United States held by any publicly-traded REIT. The weighted average leased percentage of the nine 50% or more owned buildings which were operational was approximately 92% as of March 15, 1995. The leases at these major office properties expire as follows:
(a)Includes 130,847 square feet and 73,896 square feet of leases which expire in 1995 and 1998, respectively, only if significant cancellation penalties are paid. Otherwise, the leases expire 5 years later than shown in the above table. The weighted average remaining lease term of the nine 50% or more owned buildings which were operational was approximately 8 years as of December 31, 1994. All of the Company's major office tenant leases in these buildings provide for pass through of operating expenses, and base rents which escalate over time. In the retail area, which is the primary focus of the Company's current development activity, the Company's holdings at December 31, 1994 include a 50% interest in a regional mall (currently being expanded), a 100% interest in three retail power centers, an 82.3% interest in a fourth retail power center, and a 100% interest in one retail strip center. The retail strip center and one of the retail power centers were under construction at December 31, 1994. The Company purchased sites for and began development of two additional retail power centers in February 1995. All of the Company's retail power centers are significantly preleased to anchor tenants which generally have lease terms of 10 years or more, pass through of operating expenses, and base rents which escalate over time. The weighted average leased percentage of the three operational retail power centers was approximately 98% as of March 15, 1995. The leases at these retail centers expire as follows:
The weighted average remaining lease term of the three operational retail power centers was approximately 15 years as of December 31, 1994. The Company's other real estate holdings include equity interests in approximately 600 acres of strategically located land held for investment and future development, and two mortgage notes for $28 million which are secured by a 250,000 square foot office building in Washington, D.C. The terms of these two notes have some of the characteristics of an equity investment, and should provide a comparable return on investment (see Note 3). The Company's joint venture partners include IBM and affiliates of The Coca-Cola Company ("Coca-Cola"), NationsBank Corporation ("NationsBank"), Corporate Property Investors, Odyssey Partners, L.P., Temple-Inland Inc., Dutch Institutional Holding Company ("DIHC"), American General Corporation, and Carr Realty Corporation. The success of the Company's operations is dependent upon such unpredictable factors as the availability of satisfactory financing; general and local economic conditions; the activity of others developing competitive projects; and zoning, environmental impact, and other government regulations.

To date leases have been signed for approximately 5 additional acres, with the lease commencements for these 5 acres beginning in the second quarter of 1995. Leases on the 18 leased acres will generate FFO of approximately $700,000 per year. The remaining acres are currently being marketed to prospective tenants. LAND HELD FOR INVESTMENT AND FUTURE DEVELOPMENT
(1)Based upon management's estimates. (2)For the portion of the Wildwood Office Park land and Midtown Atlanta land owned by joint ventures, the cost shown is what the cost would be if the venture's land cost were adjusted downward to the Company's lower basis in the land it contributed to the venture. For the 50%-owned Wildwood Office Park land, the adjusted cost excludes building predevelopment costs of $1,282,000. (3)The Georgia Highway 400 property is located both east and west of Georgia Highway 400. Currently, only the land which is located east of Georgia Highway 400 is being developed. This land surrounds North Point Mall, a 1.1 million square foot regional mall (currently being expanded to 1.3 million square feet) on a 100 acre site which the Company sold in 1988 to a joint venture of Homart Development Co. and JMB/Federated Realty Associates, Ltd.

(6)Temco Associates has an option through March 2006, with no carrying costs, to acquire approximately 35,000 acres in Paulding County, Georgia (northwest of Atlanta, Georgia), of which approximately 13,000 acres would be a fee simple interest and approximately 22,000 acres would be a timber rights interest only. The option may be exercised in whole or in part over the option period. Temco Associates has engaged in certain sales of land as to which it simultaneously exercised its purchase option. During 1993 and 1994, approximately 1,100 and 72 acres, respectively of the option related to the fee simple interest was exercised and simultaneously sold for gross profits of $305,000 and $243,000, respectively.
MAJOR PROPERTIES GENERAL This section describes the major operating properties in which the Company has an interest either directly or indirectly through joint venture arrangements. A "negative investment" in a joint venture results from distributions of capital to the Company, if any, exceeding the sum of (i) the Company's contributions of capital and (ii) reported earnings (losses) of the joint venture allocated to the Company. "Investment" in a joint venture means the book value of the Company's investment in the joint venture. WILDWOOD OFFICE PARK Wildwood Office Park is a 289 acre Class A commercial development in suburban Atlanta master planned by I.M. Pei, including 5 office buildings containing 1,922,000 rentable square feet. The property is zoned for office, institutional, and commercial use, with over 7 million additional gross square feet of office and commercial space planned for the park. Approximately 104 acres in the park are owned by, or committed to be contributed to, Wildwood Associates (see below), including approximately 52 acres of land held for future development. The Company owns 100% of the 151 acre balance of the land available for future development. Located in Atlanta's northwest commercial district, just north of the Interstate 285/Interstate 75 intersection, Wildwood features convenient access to all of Atlanta's major office, commercial and residential districts. The Wildwood complex overlooks the Chattahoochee River and borders 1,200 acres of national forest, thus providing an urban office facility in a forest setting. Wildwood Associates. Wildwood Associates is a joint venture between the Company and IBM formed in 1985. The Company and IBM each have a 50% interest in Wildwood Associates. At December 31, 1994, the Company's investment in Wildwood Associates and a related partnership (see "Summit Green") was approximately $3.3 million, which included the cost of the land the Company is committed to contribute to Wildwood Associates. In addition, the Company has severally guaranteed one-half of a $50,000,000 bank line of credit to Wildwood Associates related to the 3200 Windy Hill Road Building, under which $9.0 million was drawn at December 31, 1994. Wildwood Associates owns the 3200 Windy Hill Road Building (681,000 rentable square feet), the 2300 Windy Ridge Parkway Building (634,000 rentable square feet) and the 2500 Windy Ridge Parkway Building (313,000 rentable square feet). At March 15, 1995, these three buildings were 95%, 94% and 89% leased, respectively. Wildwood Associates also owns 14 acres leased to two banking facilities and five restaurants (one under development); an additional one acre retail site currently being marketed to prospective users, and a child care facility. The 3200 Windy Hill Road Building was financed primarily with equity, and at December 31, 1994 had $9 million outstanding debt related to it. The 2300 Windy Ridge Parkway Building and the 2500 Windy Ridge Parkway Building were financed primarily with debt and, at December 31, 1994, had $81.8 million and $31.1 million of outstanding debt related to them, respectively. Other Buildings in Wildwood Office Park. Wildwood Office Park also contains the 3301 Windy Ridge Parkway Building, a 106,000 rentable square foot office building located on approximately 10 acres which is wholly owned by the Company. Commencing January 1994, a single tenant, TSW International, Inc., leased the building for a term of ten years. The lease was initially for 60% of the building with options permitting the tenant to expand its occupancy to the remainder of the building over the next several years; the first such option for an additional 10% of the space was exercised in the fourth quarter of 1994. In addition, the 3100 Windy Hill Road Building, a 188,000 rentable square foot corporate training facility occupies a 13-acre parcel of land which is wholly owned by the Company. The training facility improvements were sold in 1983 to a limited partnership of private investors, at which time the Company received a leasehold mortgage note. The training facility land was simultaneously leased to the partnership for thirty years, along with certain equipment for varying periods. The training facility was 100% leased by the partnership to IBM through November 1993. In January 1993, the IBM lease was extended through November 30, 1998. Concurrently with the IBM extension, the mortgage note and related leases were also modified (see Note 3). NORTH POINT North Point is a mixed-use commercial development located in north central suburban Atlanta, Georgia off of Georgia Highway 400, a six lane state highway that runs from downtown Atlanta to the northern Atlanta suburbs. The Company owns either directly or indirectly, approximately 169 and 230 acres located on the east and west sides of Georgia Highway 400, respectively. Currently, only the land which is located east of Georgia Highway 400 is being developed. The Company previously sold 100 acres of its holdings located on the east side of Georgia Highway 400 in 1988 to a joint venture of Homart Development Co. and JMB/Federated Realty Associates, Ltd. This joint venture constructed North Point Mall, a 1.1 million square foot regional mall which opened in October 1993 and will be expanded to 1.3 million square feet with the addition of a sixth anchor store (Dillard's). The following describes the various components of North Point. North Point Market Associates, L.P. ("NPMA"). NPMA is a limited partnership between Cousins (82.3%) and an affiliate of Coca-Cola (17.7%). The venture was formed in September 1993 when the Georgia Highway 400 land owned through Spring/Haynes Associates (see Note 5) was distributed to its partners, with each partner concurrently recontributing certain acres of the land to NPMA. Additionally, Cousins contributed certain acres of its wholly owned Georgia Highway 400 land to the new venture. NPMA developed North Point Market-Phase I, a 313,000 square foot retail power center located adjacent to North Point Mall, which became operational for financial reporting purposes in May 1994. The center also includes six outparcels available for ground lease to freestanding users, of which four are currently leased. Construction commenced on North Point Market-Phase II (173,000 square feet, 57,000 square feet owned) in August 1994. In connection with the commencement of construction, NPMA sold 10.8 acres of land in Phase II to Dayton Hudson Corporation, which is developing a Target store on the site. This sale was treated as a tax-free exchange, and in February 1995 the proceeds were swapped into the purchase of land adjacent to the Company's other North Point properties. The Company plans to use this land for Mansell Crossing-Phase II, an approximately 100,000 square foot expansion of an existing retail power center previously developed by the Company for a third party. North Point Market-Phase I was financed partially with equity contributions from both partners, with the remainder financed by a note payable to Cousins which bears interest at the Prime rate plus 1%. The balance of this note payable is $17.7 million at December 31, 1994. The extent to which Cousins receives interest income from the note (which is eliminated in consolidation) creates a preferential return from the Partnership to Cousins. The improvements at North Point Market-Phase II are being financed 100% through this note payable to Cousins. The construction costs of Mansell Crossing-Phase II, however, will be financed 100% through equity contributions from Cousins, thus creating an additional preferential return to Cousins. Wholly Owned North Point Property. In December 1994, the Company commenced construction on North Point Center, a 125,000 square foot office building, located on half of a 14 acre site of the North Point land adjacent to North Point Mall. North Point Center is scheduled to be completed in the first quarter of 1996 at a total cost of approximately $16 million. Approximately 30 acres of the North Point land are being ground leased in 1 to 2 acre sites to freestanding users. The carrying value of this land was transferred to Operating Properties in September 1993. Approximately 18 acres are leased as of March 15, 1995. The remaining approximately 300 developable acres at North Point are 100% owned by the Company. Approximately 70 acres of this land are located on the east side of Georgia Highway 400 and are zoned for mixed-use development including retail and office space. Approximately 230 acres of the land are located on the west side of Georgia Highway 400 and are zoned for office, institutional and light industrial use. OTHER OFFICE PROPERTIES NationsBank Plaza. NationsBank Plaza is a Class A, 55-story, 1.3 million rentable square foot office tower designed by Kevin Roche and is located on approximately 4 acres of land between the midtown and downtown districts of Atlanta, Georgia. The building, which was completed in 1992, was approximately 91% leased at March 15, 1995. An affiliate of NationsBank, the fourth largest bank in the United States, leases 46% of the rentable square feet. NationsBank Plaza was developed by CSC Associates, L.P. ("CSC"), a joint venture formed by the Company and C&S Premises, Inc., an affiliate of NationsBank. The Company and C&S Premises, Inc. each have a 50% interest in CSC. In October 1993, the partnership fully repaid all of its debt with equity contributions of $86.7 million made by each partner. At December 31, 1994, the Company's investment in CSC was approximately $105,239,000. The Company has guaranteed one-half of a $5,000,000 bank line of credit under which there was no outstanding balance at December 31, 1994. CSC's net income or loss and cash distributions are allocated to the partners based on their percentage interests (50% each), subject to a preference to Cousins. The Cousins preference is $2.5 million (giving Cousins an additional $1.25 million over what it would otherwise receive), and accrues to Cousins, with interest at 9% to the extent unpaid, over the period February 1, 1992 through January 31, 1995. Following repayment of the partnership's debt in October 1993, Cousins began recognizing its accrued preference currently in income, which resulted in Cousins recognizing $874,000 and $451,000 in income over what it would have otherwise recognized in the years ended December 31, 1993 and 1994, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 1994, Cousins received distributions of the preference and accrued interest of approximately $2.65 million. The remaining preference amount of $71,000 was distributed in January 1995. Amounts above the preference amount are allocated based on the partners' percentage interests. First Union Tower. First Union Tower is a Class A office building containing approximately 317,000 rentable square feet. The property is located on approximately one acre of land in downtown Greensboro, North Carolina. First Union Tower opened in the first quarter of 1990 and at March 15, 1995 was approximately 86% leased. First Union Tower is owned by North Greene Associates Limited Partnership ("NGA"), which was formed in 1987 as a joint venture of Cousins and Weaver Downtown Limited Partnership. Cousins has an 85% ownership interest in NGA, and accounts for it as a consolidated entity. Cousins is recognizing 100% of the income or losses from NGA until cumulative retained earnings exceed zero or partnership distributions commence, at which time Cousins will recognize 85% of the income or losses, subject to the preference discussed below. Cousins has made a $36 million secured line of credit available to NGA which matures December 31, 1996. At December 31, 1994, the line had a balance of $29.8 million and an interest rate equal to the Federal funds rate plus 1%. Under terms of the line, partnership distributions are prohibited and 100% of the project's operating cash flows have been paid to Cousins. The extent to which Cousins receives interest income from the partnership effectively creates a preferential return to Cousins. One Ninety One Peachtree Tower. One Ninety One Peachtree Tower is a 50- story, Class A office tower located in downtown Atlanta, Georgia that was completed in December 1990. One Ninety One Peachtree Tower, which contains 1.2 million rentable square feet, was designed by John Burgee Architects, with Phillip Johnson as design consultant. One Ninety One Peachtree Tower was developed on approximately 2 acres of land, of which approximately 1.5 acres is owned and approximately one-half acre under the parking facility is leased for a 99-year term expiring in 2088 with a 99-year renewal option. One Ninety One Peachtree Tower was approximately 94% leased at March 15, 1995. C-H Associates, Ltd. ("C-H Associates"), a partnership formed in 1988 between CREC (49%), Hines Peachtree Associates Limited Partnership (49%) and Peachtree Palace Hotel, Ltd. (2%), owns a 20% interest in the partnership that owns One Ninety One Peachtree Tower. C-H Associates' 20% ownership of One Ninety One Peachtree Tower results in an effective 9.8% ownership interest by CREC in the One Ninety One Peachtree Tower project. The balance of the One Ninety One Peachtree Tower project is owned by DIHC Peachtree Associates, an affiliate of DIHC. Through C-H Associates, CREC received 50% of the development fees from the One Ninety One Peachtree Tower project. In addition, CREC owns a 50% interest in two general partnerships which receive fees from leasing and managing the One Ninety One Peachtree Tower project. The One Ninety One Peachtree Tower project was funded substantially by debt until March 1993, at which time DIHC Peachtree Associates contributed equity in the amount of $145,000,000. Subsequent to the equity contribution, C-H Associates is entitled to a priority distribution of $250,000 per year (of which the Company is entitled to receive $112,500) for seven years beginning in 1993. The equity contributed by DIHC Peachtree Associates is entitled to a preferred return at a rate increasing over the first 14 years from 5.5% to 11.5% (payable after the Company's priority return); at December 31, 1994, the cumulative undistributed preferred return was $3,006,562. Thereafter, the partners will share in any distributions in accordance with their percentage interests. At December 31, 1994, the Company had a negative investment of $90,000 in the One Ninety One Peachtree Tower project. Ten Peachtree Place. Ten Peachtree Place is a 20-story, 259,000 rentable square foot Class A office building located in midtown Atlanta, Georgia. Completed in 1991, this structure was designed by Michael Graves and is currently 100% leased to Coca-Cola. Approximately four acres of adjacent land, currently used for surface parking, are available for future development. Ten Peachtree Place is owned by Ten Peachtree Place Associates, a general partnership between the Company (50%) and a wholly owned subsidiary of Coca-Cola (50%). The partnership acquired the property in 1991 for a nominal cash invest ment, subject to a ten-year purchase money note. This 8% purchase money note had an outstanding balance of $21.7 million at December 31, 1994. If the purchase money note is paid in accordance with its terms, it will amortize to approximately $15.3 million ($59 per rentable square foot) over the ten-year term of the Coca-Cola lease, at which time Coca-Cola is entitled to receive the preferred return described below and the property may be sold, released, or returned to the lender under the purchase money note for $1.00 without penalty or any further liability to the Company for the indebtedness. At December 31, 1994, the Company had a negative investment in Ten Peachtree Place Associates of $75,000. The Company anticipates that Ten Peachtree Place Associates will generate approximately $400,000 per year of cash flows from operating activities net of note principal amortization during the ten-year lease. The partnership agreement generally provides that each of the partners is entitled to receive 50% of cash flows from operating activities net of note principal amortization (excluding any sale proceeds) for ten years, after which time the Company is entitled to 15% of cash flows (including any sale proceeds) and its partner is entitled to receive 85% of cash flows (including any sale proceeds), until the two partners have received a combined distribution of $15.3 million, after which time each partner is entitled to receive 50% of cash flows (including any sale proceeds). Summit Green. Summit Green, a 21-acre office park located in Greensboro, North Carolina, is owned by Wildwood Associates (the partnership with IBM) and a related partnership. The park contains a 135,000 rentable square foot mid-rise office building which was 100% leased at March 15, 1995. The Summit Green land is leased from an unrelated third party for a 99-year term expiring in 2084. Space exists for two additional office buildings, but the Company has no plans to commence additional development without prior leasing commitments. CC-JM II Associates. This joint venture was formed in 1994 between the Company and an affiliate of Carr Realty Corporation, each as 50% general partners, to develop and own a 224,000 square foot office building in suburban Washington, D.C. The building will be 100% leased for 15 years to Booz-Allen & Hamilton, an international consulting firm, as a part of its corporate headquarters campus, and is scheduled to be completed in 1996 at a total cost of approximately $32 million. Each partner contributed $2.7 million to the venture during 1994. OTHER RETAIL PROPERTIES Haywood Mall. Haywood Mall is an enclosed regional shopping center located 5 miles southeast of downtown Greenville, South Carolina, which was developed and opened in 1980. Haywood Mall Associates, a joint venture arrangement formed in 1979 by the Company and Bellwether Properties of South Carolina, L.P., an affiliate of Corporate Properties Investors, owns the mall which is currently being expanded from 956,000 gross leasable square feet ("GLA") (of which the venture's ownership is approximately 272,000 GLA) to 1,256,000 GLA (of which the venture's ownership will be approximately 329,000). The balance of the mall is owned by the mall's major department stores (four prior to the expansion and five afterwards). The portion of Haywood Mall owned by Haywood Mall Associates was developed on approximately 19 acres of land, of which approximately 16 acres is owned and approximately 3 acres (of parking area) is leased under a ground lease expiring in 2067. The portion of Haywood Mall owned by the joint venture was approximately 93% leased as of March 15, 1995 and has been at least 90% leased since 1986. The Company has a 50% interest in Haywood Mall Associates. The Company originally had only a nominal cash investment, but funded an aggregate of $2.8 million in 1988 through 1990 as its 50% share of capital improvements made to the mall, including a new food court area. Additionally, the Company contributed $16.1 million during 1994 to fund its share of the expansion and the prepayment of an existing 9.37% first mortgage in May 1994. The venture intends to continue funding the expansion with additional equity contributions of approximately $6 million from each partner. At December 31, 1994, the Company's investment was $15,985,000. Perimeter Expo Associates, L.P. In June 1993, Perimeter Expo Associates, L.P. (90% owned by Cousins and 10% owned by CNM) purchased the land for and began construction of a retail power center adjacent to Perimeter Mall in Atlanta, Georgia. Perimeter Expo features a new concept called The Home Depot Expo, which was separately developed by The Home Depot as an upscale interior design center. Perimeter Expo contains approximately 295,000 square feet, of which approximately 178,000 square feet are owned by the Company and the balance of the center, 117,000 square feet, owned by The Home Depot. The center opened in November 1993 and became operational for financial reporting purposes on December 1, 1993. Presidential Market. In December 1994, Presidential Market-Phase I, an approximately 320,000 square foot retail power center, located in northeast suburban Atlanta became operational for financial reporting purposes. Cousins owns approximately 204,000 square feet of the center, with the remaining 116,000 square feet separately developed as a Target store which is owned by Dayton Hudson Corporation. In November 1994, Cousins and CNM purchased an additional 14 acres of land adjacent to Presidential Market, of which 2 acres were sold by CNM in December 1994. The Company plans to commence construction on Presidential Market-Phase II on the balance of this land during the first half of 1995. Presidential Market-Phase II is classified as Land Held for Investment or Future Development on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 1994. Lovejoy Station. In September 1994, CREC commenced construction of Lovejoy Station, a 78,000 square foot retail strip center in south central suburban Atlanta. Publix is the anchor tenant of this center, which is scheduled to open in late 1995 at a total cost of approximately $6 million. Lawrenceville Market. In December 1994, Cousins acquired the land for and commenced construction of Lawrenceville Market, a 519,000 square foot retail power center in northeast suburban Atlanta. The center is scheduled to open in late 1995 at a total cost of approximately $23 million. Additionally, CREC and CNM own approximately 110 acres adjacent to Lawrenceville Market which are zoned for various purposes including commercial, retail, single-family and multi- family residential. Approximately 7 of the acres adjacent to Lawrenceville Market that are zoned retail are actively being marketed as stand alone retail sites to either be sold or ground leased to tenants. The remaining acreage is being held for investment or future development. Colonial Plaza. In February 1995, Cousins commenced construction of Colonial Plaza, a 543,000 square foot retail power center in suburban north central Orlando, Florida. The center is scheduled to be completed in the first half of 1996 at a total cost of approximately $45 million.
RESIDENTIAL LOT DEVELOPMENTS As of December 31, 1994, CREC owned the following parcels of land which are being developed into residential communities ($ in thousands):
(1) Additional lots may be developed on adjacent land on which CREC holds purchase options. (2) Lot sales activity in Barrett Downs and Bradshaw Farms will commence in mid-1995. LAND HELD FOR INVESTMENT AND FUTURE DEVELOPMENT In addition to the various land located adjacent to operating properties or projects under construction discussed above, the Company owns the following significant land holdings either directly or indirectly through joint venture arrangements. The Company intends to convert its land holdings to income- producing usage or to sell portions of land holdings as opportunities present themselves over time. Spring/Haynes Associates. This general partnership was formed in 1985 between the Company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Coca-Cola, each as 50% general partners, to jointly own and develop real estate. The Company contributed 40 acres of undeveloped land at Georgia Highway 400 and Haynes Bridge Road in north central suburban Atlanta, Georgia. Coca-Cola contributed 11 acres of property in midtown Atlanta. In September 1993, the undeveloped land at Georgia Highway 400 was distributed to the partners who concurrently recontributed certain areas of the land into North Point Market Associates, L.P., a consolidated partnership formed between the partners (see above). The Company's remaining investment in Spring/Haynes Associates is $1,603,000 at December 31, 1994. Temco Associates. Temco Associates was formed in March 1991 as a partnership between CREC (50%) and a subsidiary of Temple-Inland Inc. (50%). Temco Associates has an option through March 2006, with no carrying costs, to acquire approximately 35,000 acres in Paulding County, Georgia (northwest of Atlanta, Georgia), of which approximately 13,000 acres would be a fee simple interest and approximately 22,000 acres would be a timber rights interest only. The option may be exercised in whole or in part over the option period and the option price of this fee simple land was $655 per acre at December 31, 1994, escalating at 6% per year during the term of the option. The Temco Associates property has the potential for future residential, industrial and commercial development. Temco Associates has to date sold parcels of land as to which it simultaneously exercised its purchase option. During 1993 and 1994, approximately 1,100 and 72 acres, respectively of the option related to the fee simple interest was exercised and simultaneously sold for gross profits of $305,000 and $243,000, respectively. OTHER REAL PROPERTY INVESTMENTS Omni Norfolk Hotel. Norfolk Hotel Associates ("NHA") is a general partnership formed in 1978 between the Company and an affiliate of Odyssey Partners, L.P. (an investment partnership), each as 50% partners, which held a mortgage note on and owned the land under the 442-room Omni International Hotel in downtown Norfolk, Virginia. In January 1992, NHA terminated the land lease and became the owner of the hotel and a long-term parking agreement with an adjacent building owner. In April 1993, the partnership sold the hotel, but retained its interest in the parking agreement. The Company's share of the gain on this transaction was approximately $.5 million and is included in Income From Joint Ventures in the 1993 Consolidated Statement of Income. The partnership received a mortgage note for a portion of the sales proceeds. In July 1994, NHA distributed to each partner a 50% interest in the parking agreement held by NHA. The Company currently receives payments of approximately $206,000 per year for its 50% interest in the agreement, and has entered into an agreement to sell its interest for $2 million in July 1996, which would result in a profit to the Company of approximately $411,000. Additionally, in July 1994, each partner contributed $2 million to NHA to pay down $4 million in debt. At December 31, 1994, the Company had an investment of $1,572,000 in NHA. The Company has also guaranteed a $2.6 million line of credit to NHA under which $2.4 million had been drawn at December 31, 1994, and its partner has guaranteed an equal line of credit under which $2.4 million had been drawn at December 31, 1994. Dusseldorf Joint Venture. In 1992, Cousins entered into a joint venture agreement for the development of a 133,000 rentable square foot office building in Dusseldorf, Germany which is 34% preleased to IBM. Cousins' venture partners are IBM and Multi Development Corporation International B.V. ("Multi"), a Dutch real estate development company. In December 1993, the building was presold to an affiliate of Deutsche Bank. CREC and Multi are jointly developing the building, with CREC receiving fees of approximately $1.4 million ratably over the development period of January 1994 through June 1995; through December 31, 1994 approximately $931,000 of fees have been received. In addition, the Company will recognize 30% of the venture's profit or 50% of the venture's loss. Due to the Company's continuing involvement in the project (see Notes 4 and 5), all fees and profits are being deferred. Kennesaw Crossings. The Company owns Kennesaw Crossings, a 116,000 square foot shopping center in suburban Atlanta, Georgia. The center was constructed in 1974 on 14 acres of land leased from an unrelated party through 2068. The Company's net carrying value in Kennesaw Crossings as of December 31, 1994 was $1.2 million. Air Rights and Other Property Near the CNN Center. The Company owns a leasehold interest in the air rights over the approximately 365,000 square foot CNN Center parking facility in Atlanta, Georgia, adjoining the world headquarters of Turner Broadcasting System, Inc. and Cable News Network. The air rights are developable for additional parking or office use. The Company's net carrying value of this property is $0. The Company also owns 0.8 acres of additional land proximate to the CNN Center which is currently being used for surface parking and has a net carrying value of $408,000. SUPPLEMENTAL FINANCIAL AND LEASING INFORMATION Depreciation and amortization expense include the following components ($ in thousands):

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

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

At December 31, 1993 and 1994, receivables which related to the cumulative excess of revenues recognized in accordance with SFAS No. 13 over revenues which accrued in accordance with the actual lease agreements totaled $14,022,000, and $14,371,000, respectively. Of the 1994 amount, 60% was related to leases with IBM. 7. NOTES PAYABLE At December 31, 1993 and 1994, notes payable consisted of the following ($ in thousands):
The 2300 Windy Ridge Parkway Building note is secured by the building and two additional leased commercial properties in Wildwood, which properties had a net carrying value of approximately $62,300,000 and $60,000,000 at December 31, 1993 and 1994, respectively. The note had been secured by a bank letter of credit but the requirement was canceled on December 5, 1994. The note was payable interest only through August 10, 1994, after which it amortizes in equal monthly installments of $665,108 based on a 30 year amortization schedule, and matures August 10, 1999. The 2500 Windy Ridge Parkway Building note is secured by the building, which had a net carrying value of approximately $21,300,000 and $20,700,000 at December 31, 1993 and 1994, respectively. The note amortizes in equal monthly installments of $268,499 based on a 30 year amortization schedule, and matures June 28, 1996. The Summit Green Building note is secured by a leasehold mortgage on the building, which had a net carrying value of approximately $7,900,000 and $7,600,000 at December 31, 1993 and 1994, respectively. The note amortizes in equal monthly installments of $95,517 based on a 30 year amortization schedule, and matures April 1, 1998. The note related to the 3200 Windy Hill Road building is an unsecured line of credit under which up to $50,000,000 may be drawn. As amended and restated as of August 1, 1990, the line of credit matures September 1, 1995, but will automatically be renewed from year to year unless the lender provides a notice of non-renewal at least three months in advance of the annual renewal date. The line generally prohibits new borrowings other than those under the line, or the pledging of any assets not pledged as of August 1, 1990. The line bears a floating interest rate equal to the daily federal funds rate plus 3/4%, and there are no fees or compensating balance arrangements required under the line. Cousins and IBM have each severally guaranteed one-half of the line of credit. The Partnerships capitalize interest expense to property under development as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 34. In the year ended December 31, 1993, the Partnerships capitalized interest totaling $108,000. No interest was capitalized during the years ended December 31, 1992 and 1994. The estimated fair value of the Partnership's $134 million and $133 million of notes payable at December 31, 1993 and 1994 respectively, is $144 million and $132 million, respectively, calculated by discounting future cash flows under the notes payable at estimated rates at which similar notes would be made currently. 8. GROUND LEASE All of the land in the Summit Green development is subject to a non- subordinated ground lease expiring October 31, 2084. Lease payments commenced December 1, 1986, and are payable in monthly installments at an annual rate of approximately $322,000 per year for the first ten years. The lease rate escalates at ten year intervals commencing December 1, 1996, based on the cumulative increase in the Consumer Price Index ("Index") over the prior ten year period (subject to a 5% annual cap on the increase in such Index in any one year); or, at lessor's option, at the end of any ten year interval the property shall be appraised, and the lessee shall elect to either purchase the land for the appraised value, or pay annually during the succeeding ten year period 10% of the appraised fair market value of the land. 9.

CSC ASSOCIATES, L.P. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 1992, 1993 AND 1994
1. FORMATION OF THE PARTNERSHIP AND TERMS OF THE PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT
CSC Associates, L.P. ("CSC," or the "Partnership") was formed under the terms of a Partnership Agreement effective September 29, 1989. C&S Premises, Inc. ("Premises"), a wholly owned subsidiary of C&S/Sovran Corporation (the "Holding Corporation"), and Cousins Properties Incorporated ("CPI"), each own a 1% general partnership and a 49% limited partnership interest in the Partnership. The Holding Corporation became a wholly owned subsidiary of NationsBank Corporation on December 31, 1991. The Partnership was formed for the purpose of developing and owning a 1.4 million gross square foot office tower in downtown Atlanta, Georgia (the "Building"), which is the Atlanta headquarters of NationsBank Corporation. The Partnership Agreement and related documents (the "Agreements") contain among other provisions, the following: a. CPI is the Managing Partner. b. CPI is obligated to contribute a total of $18.2 million cash to the Partnership, all of which has been contributed. Premises is obligated to contribute land parcels to the Partnership having an aggregate agreed upon value of $18.2 million, all of which has been contributed, which property value, in the opinion of the partners, is equal to the estimated fair market value of the land at the time of formation of the Partnership. In October 1993, the partners each contributed an additional $86.7 million. c. No interest is earned on partnership capital. d. Net income or loss and cash distributions are allocated to the partners based on their percentage interests (50% each), subject to a preference to CPI. The CPI preference is $2.5 million, and accrues to CPI, with interest at 9% to the extent unpaid, over the period February 1, 1992 through January 31, 1995. During the year ended December 31, 1994, CPI received distributions of the preference and accrued interest of approximately $2.65 million. The remaining preference amount of $71,000 was distributed to CPI in January 1995. Amounts above the preference amount are allocated based on the partners' percentage interests. 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
CAPITALIZATION POLICIES All costs related to planning, development and construction of the Building, and expenditures for the Building prior to the date it became operational for financial statement purposes, have been capitalized. Interest expense, amortization of financing costs, and real estate taxes were also capitalized while the Building was under development. The accompanying financial statements reflect revenues and expenses subsequent to February 1, 1992, the date the first lease in the building commenced. For financial reporting purposes, the Building was considered operational on June 1, 1992. Capitalized operations in the accompanying statement of operations represent revenues of $4,849,000 and expenses of $6,241,000 which were capitalized for the period February 1, 1992 through May 31, 1992. DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION Depreciation of the Building commenced the date the Building became operational for financial statement purposes and the Building is being depreciated over 40 years. Leasehold and tenant improvements are amortized over the life of the leases or useful life of the assets, whichever is shorter. Furniture, fixtures, and equipment are depreciated over 5 years. Deferred expenses which include organizational costs, certain marketing and leasing costs, and loan acquisition costs are amortized over the period of estimated benefit. The straight line method is used for all depreciation and amortization. INCOME TAXES No provision has been made for federal or state income taxes because each partner's proportionate share of income or loss from the Partnership will be passed through to be included on each partner's separate tax return. RENTAL INCOME In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 13 ("SFAS No. 13"), income on leases which include increases in rental rates over the lease term is recognized on a straight-line basis. RECLASSIFICATIONS Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current presentation. 3. LEASES
The Partnership has leased office space to the Holding Corporation, as well as to unrelated third parties. The lease with the Holding Corporation is at rates comparable to those quoted to third parties. The leases contain escalation provisions and provisions requiring tenants to pay a pro rata share of operating expenses. The leases typically include renewal options and all are classified and accounted for as operating leases. At December 31, 1994, future minimum rentals to be received under existing non-cancelable leases, including tenants' current pro rata share of operating expenses, are as follows ($ in thousands):
In the years ended December 31, 1993 and 1994, income recognized on a straight-line basis exceeded income which would have accrued in accordance with the lease terms by $3,333,000 and $3,156,000, respectively. At December 31, 1993 and 1994, receivables which related to the cumulative excess of revenues recognized in accordance with SFAS No. 13 over revenues which accrued in accordance with the actual lease agreements totaled $5,380,000, and $8,536,000, respectively. Of that amount, 27% was related to leases with the Holding Corporation. 4. NOTES PAYABLE
At December 31, 1992, notes payable consisted solely of the amount borrowed under a Construction Loan Agreement with six banks under which a maximum of $210 million could have been drawn. On October 29, 1993, using capital contributions made by each partner, the Partnership paid off this note payable, which had an outstanding balance of $168 million. Approximately $723,000 of deferred loan costs were written off due to the early extinguishment of this note payable and is classified as an Extraordinary Item in the accompanying Statements of Operations. The Construction Loan was payable interest only monthly and had a floating interest rate equal to LIBOR plus the Applicable Spread Rate. The Applicable Spread Rate was .85% through May 29, 1992, and .70% through December 31, 1992. The Applicable Spread Rate was reduced to .65% effective January 1, 1993 and .60% effective February 1, 1993 to maturity. The Partnership entered into an interest rate swap agreement with an affiliate of Premises which effectively fixed LIBOR at 8.45% through September 1993. The face amount of the swap increased over time in amounts corresponding to the projected increases in the Construction Loan balance. The Partnership has an unsecured $5 million line of credit provided by an affiliate of Premises. Interest on the line is paid at a floating rate (6.3% weighted average rate in December 1994), and interest only is payable through July 31, 1995, at which time the entire outstanding balance is due. There were no borrowings under the line as of December 31, 1993 and 1994. For the year ended December 31, 1992, the Partnership capitalized interest expense totaling $4,591,000, including $3,853,000 capitalized as part of capitalized operations in 1992. 5. RELATED PARTIES
The Partnership engaged an affiliate of CPI, Cousins Real Estate Corporation ("CREC"), to develop and lease the Building and engaged Cousins Management, Inc. ("CMI") to manage the Building. In November 1992, CPI purchased the assets of CMI and assumed all responsibilities under the management agreement. During 1992, 1993 and 1994, fees to CREC, CMI, and CPI incurred by the Partnership were as follows ($ in thousands):
