NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2006
(UNAUDITED)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
     The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein include the accounts of Cousins Properties Incorporated (“Cousins” or “the Company”) and its consolidated subsidiaries, including Cousins Real Estate Corporation and its subsidiaries (“CREC”). All of the entities included in the condensed consolidated financial statements are hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Company.”
     Cousins has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) and intends to, among other things, distribute 100% of its federal taxable income to stockholders, thereby eliminating any liability for federal income taxes. Therefore, the results included herein do not include a federal income tax provision for Cousins. CREC operates as a taxable REIT subsidiary and is taxed separately from Cousins as a C-Corporation. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated statements of income include a provision for CREC’s income taxes.
     The condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and were prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In the opinion of management, these financial statements 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, 2006 and results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005. Results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of results expected for the full year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. 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, 2005. The accounting policies employed are the same as those shown in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in such Form 10-K. Certain 2005 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2006 presentation.

The Company had $45.2 million drawn on its construction facility as of June 30, 2006, with $54.8 million available for future borrowings under this facility. In conjunction with the venture formation on June 29, 2006, as described in Note 6 herein, the Avenue East Cobb mortgage note payable was assumed by CP Venture Five LLC.

4. EARNINGS PER SHARE
     Net income per share-basic is calculated as net income available to common stockholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Net income per share-diluted is calculated as net income available to common stockholders divided by the diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted weighted average number of common shares is calculated to reflect the potential dilution under the treasury stock method that would occur if stock options, restricted stock or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised and resulted in additional common shares outstanding. The numerators used in the Company’s per share calculations are the same for both basic and diluted net income per share.
     Weighted average shares-basic and weighted average shares-diluted were as follows (in thousands):
                                 
    Three Months Ended     Six Months Ended  
    June 30,     June 30,  
    2006     2005     2006     2005  
Weighted average shares-basic
    50,385       49,924       50,377       49,856  
Dilutive potential common shares
          1,662       1,642       1,735  
 
                       
Weighted average shares-diluted
    50,385       51,586       52,019       51,591  
 
                       
Anti-dilutive options not included
    2,540       892       895       892  
 
                       
     Because the Company reported a net loss available to common stockholders for the three months ended June 30, 2006, the effect of all outstanding options on per share earnings was anti-dilutive, and these options were excluded from the calculation of weighted average shares-diluted.
5. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
     The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment,” in the quarter beginning January 1, 2006. SFAS 123(R) requires that compensation expense be recognized in the statement of income for the grant-date fair value of share-based awards which vested during the period.
     The Company has several stock-based compensation plans — stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units — that are described in Note 6 of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. The Company previously accounted for its plans under Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations as permitted by SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” which required the recording of compensation expense for some, but not all, stock-based compensation. The Company did not record stock-based compensation expense for stock options in the consolidated statements of income prior to January 1, 2006, as all stock options granted had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.
     SFAS 123(R) applies to new awards and to awards modified, repurchased or cancelled after the required effective date, as well as to the unvested portion of awards outstanding as of the required effective date. The Company uses the Black-Scholes model to value its new stock option grants under SFAS 123(R), applying the “modified prospective method” for existing grants which requires the Company to value stock options prior to its adoption of SFAS 123(R) under the fair value method and

10


Table of Contents

expense the unvested portion over the remaining vesting period. Results of prior periods have not been restated. SFAS 123(R) also requires the Company to estimate forfeitures in calculating the expense related to stock-based compensation. In addition, SFAS 123(R) requires the Company to reflect the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost to be reported as both a financing cash inflow and an operating cash outflow upon adoption.
     Compensation expense arising from share-based payment arrangements granted to employees is being recognized in general and administrative expense in the 2006 condensed consolidated statement of income over the related awards’ vesting period. A portion of share-based payment expense is capitalized to projects under development as it is a part of the total compensation of certain leasing and development personnel. Compensation expense for the Company’s share-based payment arrangements is as follows ($ in thousands, except per share amounts):
                 
    Three Months Ended     Six Months Ended

  $ 182     $ 286  
     Upon adoption of SFAS 123(R), $8.5 million of unearned compensation related to the Company’s restricted stock, which was previously accounted for under APB No. 25, was reclassified to additional paid-in capital. As of June 30, 2006, there was $10.1 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted stock and stock options, which will be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.4 years.
     The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The risk free interest rate utilized in the Black-Scholes calculation is the interest rate on U.S. Treasury Strips having the same life as the estimated life of the Company’s option awards. Expected life of the options granted was computed using historical data reflecting actual hold periods plus an estimated hold period for unexercised options outstanding using the mid-point between 2006 and the expiring date. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock over a period relevant to the related stock option grant. No options were granted in the second quarter of 2005. The second quarter 2006 grant had the following weighted average assumptions and fair value:
         
    Three Months Ended
    June 30, 2006
Risk free interest rate
    5.08 %
Expected life
  6.74 years
Expected volatility
    20.70 %
Expected dividend yield

Weighted average fair value of options granted

     If the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 to options granted under the Company’s stock option plans prior to January 1, 2006, pro forma results would have been as follows ($ in thousands, except per share amounts):

     The Company also has a restricted stock unit (“RSU”) plan whereby employees are paid cash based on the value of the Company’s common stock on vesting dates in the future. Certain of the Company’s RSUs provide for the payment of dividends equal to the Company’s quarterly dividend.

All RSUs are accounted for as liability awards under SFAS No. 123(R). The value of the liability related to the RSUs is remeasured each reporting period based upon the fair value calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model at period end. The Company recognized expense related to RSUs in the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2006 of approximately $0.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively, after capitalization to projects under development and income taxes. As of June 30, 2006, there was approximately $6.8 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to RSUs, which will be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.8 years.

6. FORMATION OF JOINT VENTURE
     Effective May 2, 2006, the Company entered into an agreement (the “Agreement”) to form a venture arrangement (the “Venture”) with The Prudential Insurance Company of America on behalf of a separate account managed for institutional investors by Prudential Real Estate Investors (“PREI”). The Venture closed on June 29, 2006 (the “Closing Date”).
     In accordance with the Agreement, at the Closing Date, the Company contributed its interests in five properties (the “Properties”) to the Venture. The Properties were valued by the Company and PREI based on arms length negotiations at an initial gross fair value, before contingent value as described below, of $340,890,074. The Properties and the values allocated to each property under the Venture agreements are as follows:
                                         
    Rentable           Contingent           Total
    SF   Allocated Value   Value   Mortgage*   Net Value

     Under the Agreement, PREI is obligated to contribute cash to the Venture equal to the initial agreed upon net value of the Properties, approximately $300,062,747 (the “Base Contribution Amount”). The Base Contribution Amount will be contributed in three installments in the amounts and on or about the dates shown below. Also shown below are the percentages the Company and PREI will have, respectively, in the cash flow and capital proceeds from the Properties following the cash contributions on the indicated dates:
                                 
            Total Expected        
    Current   Cumulative   Cousins   PREI
Date   Contribution Amount   Contribution Amount   Percentage   Percentage
Closing Date
  $ 166,687,582     $ 166,687,582       51 %     49 %
9/29/06
  $ 66,687,582     $ 233,375,164       31 %     69 %
12/29/06
  $ 66,687,582     $ 300,062,747       11.5 %     88.5 %
     In addition, PREI will contribute to the Venture up to an additional $20,549,926 (the “Contingent Contribution Amounts”) if certain conditions are satisfied with respect to the expansions of the The Avenue West Cobb and Viera MarketCenter, both of which are still under construction. The Contingent Contribution Amounts would be made on or about December 29, 2006, June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2007.
     The Company also agreed to master lease a portion of the unleased space at The Avenue Viera during 2007. The maximum amount of rent payable to the Venture under the master lease would be $1,633,299 for rent, plus tenant improvement costs and commissions of up to $2,552,512. To the extent that any space subject to the master lease is actually leased to third parties pursuant to a qualifying lease, the Company would no longer be obligated under the master lease with respect to such space.
     Pursuant to the Agreement, the structure of the Venture is as follows: CP Venture IV Holdings LLC (“Parent”) is the parent entity. Parent owns a 100% interest in each of CP Venture Five LLC (“Property Activity LLC”) and CP Venture Six LLC (“Development Activity LLC”). Property Activity LLC holds the Properties and Development Activity LLC holds rights to the contributed cash.
     Following the final contribution of the Base Contribution Amount by PREI, the Company, through its interest in Parent and Parent’s interest in Property Activity LLC, will have an 11.5% interest in the cash flow and capital proceeds of the Properties, and PREI will have an 88.5% interest therein. Unless both parties agree otherwise, the Venture is not permitted to sell the Properties until the end of a four-year lock-out period.
     The parties expect that the cash contributed by PREI will be used by Development Activity LLC primarily to develop commercial real estate projects or to make acquisitions, in all cases as directed by the Company (“Developments”). In addition, Development Activity LLC has the right to make loans to the Company with any excess cash that it may hold from time to time. The parties anticipate that some of the projects currently under consideration by the Company will be undertaken by the Venture, although the Company has no obligation to make any particular opportunity available to the Venture. Prior to any other distributions with respect to the Developments from Development Activity LLC, PREI will receive a priority current return of 6.5% per annum on an amount equal to 11.5% of its capital contributions to the Venture. PREI may also receive a liquidation preference whereby it would be entitled to receive a distribution sufficient to allow it to achieve an overall 8.5% internal rate of return on an amount equal to 11.5% of its capital contributions to the Venture, subject to capital account limitations. After these preferences to PREI, the Company will be entitled to certain priority distributions related to the Developments. After such priority distributions, the Company and PREI will share residual distributions, if any, with respect to the Developments, 88.5% to the Company and 11.5% to PREI.

Table of Contents

     The Company manages the Developments and the Properties on a day-to-day basis. In particular, the Venture engaged the Company to provide property management and leasing services with respect to each of the Properties. The management and leasing agreements for each Property have an initial term of four years. The Company and PREI have certain discretionary decision rights and approval rights with respect to the Developments and the Properties. The Company serves as Administrative Manager of the Venture.
     The Company is accounting for its interest in Property Activity LLC under the equity method of accounting in accordance with APB No. 18 and consolidating the assets and results of operations of Development Activity LLC, with PREI’s share in this entity recorded as minority interest. Development Activity LLC loaned the first contribution of $167 million from PREI to the Company, which utilized the contribution to reduce amounts outstanding under its credit facility and recorded the remaining two contributions of $133 million as a receivable from venture partner at June 30, 2006. The net book value of the Properties was removed from operating properties and projects under development as of the Closing Date, and an investment in unconsolidated joint ventures was recorded using 11.5% of the Company’s original basis in the Properties. The Company is entitled to 51% of the operations of the Properties until the second contribution is received in September 2006, at which point it will recognize 31% of the operations until December 2006, at which time it will reach its ultimate ownership percentage of 11.5%.
     The contribution of the Properties was treated as a sale for accounting purposes using guidance as outlined in SFAS No. 66, “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate.” However, the Company did not recognize any gain in the income statement related to the Venture formation as the consideration received did not meet the rules in SFAS No. 66 for income statement gain recognition. The gain was included in the Deferred Gain line item on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and was calculated as 88.5% of the difference between the book value of the Properties and the fair value as detailed above. The Avenue East Cobb was contributed to the Venture encumbered by a mortgage note payable. As discussed above, the Base Contribution amount was adjusted for an estimate of the difference between the stated interest rate per the mortgage note payable and current interest rates. The Company calculated a mark-to-market debt adjustment upon closing and recorded 88.5% of this adjustment as a loss on extinguishment of debt in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income.
7. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
     The Company sold Hanover Square South, a 193,000 square foot retail center, of which the Company owned 69,000 square feet, in the third quarter of 2005. For the three and six month 2006 periods, gain on sale of investment properties includes an adjustment to cost on sale of this property of $120,000 and $185,000, respectively. In addition, the Company had adjustments to cost on sale of properties sold in 2004 of $15,000 and $141,000 in the three and six month 2006 periods, respectively.

9. REPORTABLE SEGMENTS
     The Company has four reportable segments: Office/Multi-Family, Retail, Land, and Industrial. The Office/Multi-family division develops, leases and manages owned and third-party owned office buildings and invests in and/or develops for-sale multi-family real estate products. The Retail and Industrial divisions develop, lease and manage retail and industrial centers, respectively. The Land Division owns various tracts of land that are held for investment or future development. The Land Division also develops single-family residential communities that are parceled into lots and sold to various homebuilders or sold as undeveloped tracts of land. The Company’s reportable segments are categorized based on the type of product the division provides. The divisions are managed separately

because each product they provide has separate and distinct development issues, leasing and/or sales strategies and management issues. The divisions also match the manner in which the chief operating decision maker reviews results and information and allocates resources. The unallocated and other category in the following table includes general corporate overhead costs not specific to any segment, interest expense, as financing decisions are not generally made at the reportable segment level, income taxes and preferred dividends.
     Company management evaluates the performance of its reportable segments based on funds from operations available to common stockholders (“FFO”). FFO is a supplemental operating performance measure used in the real estate industry. The Company calculated FFO using the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts’ (“NAREIT”) definition of FFO, which is net income available to common stockholders (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding extraordinary items, cumulative effect of change in accounting principle and gains or losses from sales of depreciable property, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures to reflect FFO on the same basis. The Company has presented the NAREIT-defined calculation and an adjusted NAREIT-defined calculation of FFO in 2006 to add back the loss on extinguishment of debt recognized in the second quarter of 2006 related to the Venture formation described in Note 6 herein. The Company presented this additional measure of FFO because the loss on extinguishment of debt related to the sale or exchange of real estate, and all other amounts related to sales or exchanges of real estate are excluded from FFO.
     FFO is used by industry analysts, investors and the Company as a supplemental measure of an equity REIT’s operating performance. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves. Thus, NAREIT created FFO as a supplemental measure of a REIT’s operating performance that excludes historical cost depreciation, among other items, from GAAP net income. Management believes that the use of FFO, combined with the required primary GAAP presentations, has been fundamentally beneficial, improving the understanding of operating results of REITs among the investing public and making comparisons of REIT operating results more meaningful. In addition to Company management evaluating the operating performance of its reportable segments based on FFO results, management uses FFO and FFO per share, along with other measures, to assess performance in connection with evaluating and granting incentive compensation to its officers and employees.
     The following tables summarize the operations of the Company’s reportable segments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005. The notations (100%) and (JV) used in the following tables indicate wholly-owned and unconsolidated joint ventures, respectively, and all amounts are in thousands.

10.   SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
    Subsequent to June 30, 2006, the Company had the following significant events:
    Through CSC Associates, L.P. (“CSC”), 50% owned by the Company, entered into a contract to sell Bank of America Plaza, a 1.25 million square foot office building in Atlanta, Georgia, for $436 million, which is expected to close in the third quarter of 2006. The Company is obligated to repay the entire mortgage note payable on the building, plus accrued interest and defeasance costs (see Note 3 herein). The Company’s investment in CSC was approximately $74 million at June 30, 2006.
 
    Entered into a contract to sell Frost Bank Tower, a 531,000 square foot office building in Austin, Texas, for $188 million, which is expected to close in the third quarter of 2006. The net book value of property was approximately $128 million at June 30, 2006. This sale and the purchase of One Ninety One Peachtree described below are contingent on one another.

    Entered into a contract to purchase One Ninety One Peachtree Tower, a 1.2 million square foot office building in downtown Atlanta, Georgia, for $153 million, which is expected to close in the third quarter of 2006. This purchase is contingent on the sale of Frost Bank Tower described above.
 
    Formed a joint venture with Faison Enterprises, Inc. to construct an 805,000 square foot retail center, The Avenue Murfreesboro. Upon formation, the joint venture acquired approximately 100 acres of land for approximately $25 million.
 
    Purchased 1,750 acres of land in Coweta County, Georgia for approximately $14 million for a potential residential development.
 
    Formed two ventures with Seefried Properties, Inc. to develop industrial projects of up to 1.0 million square feet in Dallas, Texas. Upon formation, the joint venture acquired approximately 64 acres of land for approximately $7.2 million.
 
    Acquired a seven-building, 103,000-square-foot office project on approximately 9.5 acres of land with long-term redevelopment opportunities in Sandy Springs, Georgia, for approximately $12.5 million.
Item 2.   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2006 and 2005
Overview:
     Cousins Properties Incorporated (the “Company”) is a real estate development company with experience in the development, leasing, financing and management of office, retail and industrial properties in addition to residential land development. In addition, the Company has experience with the development and sale of multi-family products. As of June 30, 2006, the Company held interests directly or through joint ventures in 23 office properties totaling 7.4 million square feet, 13 retail properties totaling 3.8 million square feet, three industrial properties totaling 1.3 million square feet and 1,604 developed residential land lots held for sale. These interests include six office, retail, and industrial projects under development totaling 3.4 million square feet. The Company also had an interest in a condominium project under development which contains 529 units. The Company had 23 residential communities under development directly or through joint ventures in which approximately 11,600 lots remain to be developed and/or sold. In addition, the Company owns directly or through joint ventures approximately 9,200 acres of land held for sale or future development.
     The Company’s strategy is to produce stockholder returns by creating value through the development of high quality, well-located office, retail, industrial, multi-family and residential land properties. The Company has developed substantially all of the real estate assets it owns and operates. A key element in the Company’s strategy is to actively manage its portfolio of investment properties and at the appropriate times, to engage in timely and strategic dispositions, either by sale or through contributions to ventures in which the Company retains an ownership interest. These timely transactions seek to maximize the value of the assets the Company has created, generate capital for additional development properties and return a portion of the value created to stockholders.
     Significant events during the quarter ended June 30, 2006 included the following:
    Formed a venture with The Prudential Real Estate Company of America for the ownership, development, investment, management and leasing of certain commercial real estate and contributed five retail projects to the venture (see Note 6 herein).

Table of Contents

    Commenced construction of the first building at Jefferson Mill Business Park, a 459,000 square foot industrial building.
 
    Closed the sales of 90 of the 94 units at the 905 Juniper multi-family residential project and recognized $2.8 million in pre-tax profits.
Results of Operations:
     Rental Property Revenues. Rental property revenues increased approximately $5.5 million and $10.2 million in the three and six month 2006 periods, respectively. Of these increases, approximately $1.1 million and $2.4 million for the three and six month 2006 periods, respectively, related to the Office/Multi-Family Division. This is primarily due to increases of $916,000 and $1.6 million in the three and six month 2006 periods, respectively, at Frost Bank Tower, due to its average economic occupancy increasing from 57% for the six month 2005 period to 71% for the six month 2006 period. Also contributing to the 2006 increases were increases of $383,000 and $779,000 for the three and six month 2006 periods, respectively, from One Georgia Center, as its average economic occupancy increased from 16% in the six month 2005 period to 35% for the six month 2006 period. Partially offsetting the increases for the Office/Multi-Family division were decreases of $398,000 and $736,000 for the three and six month 2006 periods, respectively, from 615 Peachtree Street. Effective March 31, 2006, this building ceased operations and is being held for redevelopment. Also partially offsetting the Office/Multi-Family division rental property revenue increases were decreases of $409,000 and $535,000 in the three and six month 2006 periods, respectively, from 3301 Windy Ridge Parkway, as the sole tenant terminated its lease on 58% of its space in the first quarter of 2006. The Company is actively attempting to re-lease this space, although there can be no guarantee of lease-up in the near term. The remaining increase is attributable to occupancy increases at Inforum and 200 North Point.
     Rental property revenues from the Retail Division increased approximately $4.5 million and $7.9 million in the three and six month 2006 periods, respectively. The Avenue Carriage Crossing, which opened in the fourth quarter of 2005, contributed $2.5 million and $4.6 million to the three and six month 2006 increases, respectively. San Jose MarketCenter, which opened late in the first quarter of 2006, contributed $1.3 million and $1.6 million to the three and six month 2006 increases, respectively. Additionally, The Avenue Viera contributed $522,000 and $972,000 to the three and six month 2006 increases, respectively, due to increased occupancy and to an expansion of the center which opened in late March 2006. The remaining increases are the result of the opening of Viera MarketCenter in the fourth quarter of 2005 and to increases in occupancy and revenues at certain existing centers.
     Rental property revenues from the Company’s Retail Division, as well as several expense line items, will decrease in future periods, as the Company contributed five retail centers to a joint venture with The Prudential Insurance Company of America. See the separate section entitled “Impact of Recent and Potential Transactions” later in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis section of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
     Rental Property Operating Expenses. Rental property operating expenses increased approximately $2.0 million and $3.9 million in the three and six month 2006 periods, respectively, compared to the same 2005 periods, mainly due to the aforementioned openings of The Avenue Carriage Crossing and San Jose MarketCenter and the increased occupancy at Frost Bank Tower.
     Multi-family Residential Unit Sales and Cost of Sales. Multi-family residential unit sales increased approximately $15.1 million and $21.7 million in the three and six month 2006 periods, respectively, and cost of sales increased approximately $12.4 million and $17.7 million in the three and six month 2006 periods, respectively, due to the consolidation of the venture constructing the 905 Juniper project. The Company began consolidating this venture in June 2005 and recognized profits

utilizing the percentage of completion method of accounting. The Company closed 90 of the total project’s 94 units in the second quarter of 2006. Because the 905 Juniper project is the Company’s only consolidated multi-family project and only four units remain to be sold, the Company expects multi-family residential unit sales and cost of sales to decrease significantly in the third quarter of 2006 and to be nominal in the fourth quarter of 2006.
     Residential Lot and Outparcel Sales and Cost of Sales. Residential lot sales decreased approximately $1.3 million in three month 2006 period compared to the three month 2005 period and increased approximately $1.6 million in the six month 2006 period compared to the same 2005 period. Lot sales at the Company’s consolidated residential projects decreased from 53 lots in the second quarter of 2005 to 29 lots in the second quarter of 2006 and increased from 64 lots in the first six months of 2005 to 87 lots in the first six months of 2006. The mix of sales at the various developments between years also affects the level of revenues and profits from residential lots. Consistent with current market trends, the Company anticipates a decline in residential lot sales for 2006 when compared to that of 2005, at consolidated projects and at Temco Associates and CL Realty, L.L.C., entities in which the Company is a joint venture partner. The Company cannot currently quantify the effect of this slowdown on its results of operations for 2006 or for periods subsequent to 2006.
     Residential lot and outparcel cost of sales decreased approximately $725,000 in the three month 2006 period compared to the same 2005 period and increased approximately $1.4 million for the six month 2006 period compared to the same 2005 period, for the reasons mentioned above.
     Interest and Other. Interest and other income for the three month 2006 period was consistent with that of the 2005 period, and increased approximately $2.4 million in the six month 2006 period compared to the same 2005 period. The increase in the six month period is primarily due to a termination fee of $2.3 million from Indus International, Inc. (“Indus”), the sole tenant at the 3301 Windy Ridge Parkway building which terminated 62,000 square feet of its space in the first quarter of 2006 and paid a termination fee.
     General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased approximately $1.7 million and $2.9 million in the three and six month 2006 periods, respectively. Salaries and related benefits, including stock-based compensation, increased approximately $2.3 million and $5.7 million in the three and six month 2006 periods, respectively. This increase includes approximately $643,000 and $1.6 million of expense in the three and six month 2006 periods, respectively, related to stock options, which the Company began recording in the first quarter of 2006 in conjunction with the adoption of SFAS 123(R). The increase in salaries and related benefits was partially offset by an increase in capitalized salaries to development projects of $939,000 and $2.3 million in the three and six month 2006 periods, respectively, as the Company has increased its development activities in 2006.
     Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased approximately $4.2 million and $5.6 million in the three and six month 2006 periods, respectively. These increases were partially due to increases of approximately $1.1 million and $2.4 million for the three and six month 2006 periods, respectively, from the aforementioned opening of The Avenue Carriage Crossing. The increases were also due to increases of $3.5 million and $3.7 million for the three and six month 2006 periods, respectively, at The Avenue of the Peninsula, as amortization of tenant costs for the terminated Saks lease was accelerated. The six month 2006 increase was also due to an increase of approximately $410,000 from the 3301 Windy Ridge Parkway building, as amortization of tenant costs related to the aforementioned Indus termination was accelerated. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in depreciation and amortization of approximately $922,000 and $1.8 million for the three and six month 2006 periods, respectively, from The Inforum, as certain tenant costs were fully amortized in 2005.

     Interest Expense. Interest expense increased approximately $2.8 million and $3.6 million in the three and six month 2006 periods, respectively, as compared to the same 2005 periods. Interest expense before capitalization increased approximately $3.3 million and $5.8 million in the three and six month 2006 periods, respectively, mainly due to an increase in interest expense on the credit facility of $2.7 million and $5.2 million in the three and six month 2006 periods, respectively. This increase is due to the fact that average borrowings outstanding on the credit facility during the 2006 periods were greater than the 2005 periods, as a result of the Company having a large balance of unexpended cash in 2005 and to an increase in development activity in 2006. In addition, the base rates on the Company’s credit facility increased during the period. The Company also entered into a construction facility in March 2006 for the construction of the Terminus 100 project, which accounted for $665,000 and $782,000 of the increase in interest expense before capitalization in the three and six month 2006 periods, respectively. Partially offsetting these increases in interest expense was higher interest capitalized to projects under development of approximately $556,000 and $2.2 million during the three and six month 2006 periods, respectively, due to higher amounts expended on projects under development during 2006 as compared to the same 2005 periods, as previously mentioned. Additionally, interest expense on the Company’s unsecured note payable, formerly the Perimeter Expo mortgage note payable, decreased approximately $452,000 and $909,000 in the three and six month 2006 periods, respectively, as this note was repaid in August 2005.
     Provision for Income Taxes from Operations. Provision for income taxes from operations increased approximately $869,000 and $2.4 million in the three and six month 2006 periods, respectively, as compared to the same 2005 periods. The increases were mainly due to the increases in income from TRG Columbus Development Venture, Ltd, (“TRG”), CL Realty, L.L.C. and Temco Associates in 2006, described in the following section. CREC, or an entity owned by CREC, is the partner in these ventures, and the Company’s share of results of operations for these ventures is included in CREC’s taxable income. Additionally, profits from the Company’s consolidated multi-family residential project, 905 Juniper, increased in 2006 as previously discussed and results of operations from 905 Juniper are also included in CREC’s taxable income.
     Income from Unconsolidated Joint Ventures. Income from unconsolidated joint ventures increased approximately $2.8 million and $9.7 million in the three and six month 2006 periods, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2005. These increases are attributable to the following. (All amounts discussed reflect the Company’s share of joint venture income based on its ownership interest in each joint venture.):
    Income from TRG, which is developing a condominium project in Miami, Florida, increased approximately $2.6 million and $4.4 million in the three and six month 2006 periods, respectively. TRG was formed in May 2005 and began recognizing income using the percentage of completion method of accounting in the fourth quarter of 2005. There have been recent reports about softening in the Miami, Florida condominium market. The Company does not believe that this softening market will affect this project, as it is 100% pre-sold and some of the units have been re-sold in the secondary market for prices in excess of the original contract amount.
 
    Income from Temco Associates increased approximately $239,000 and $3.4 million in the three and six month 2006 periods, respectively, mainly due to the sale of 855 acres of land at the venture’s Seven Hills project in the first quarter of 2006, which generated a gain to the Company of $3.2 million.
 
    Income from CL Realty, L.L.C. in the three month 2006 period was consistent with three month 2005 period and increased approximately $1.2 million in the six month 2006 period compared to the six month 2005 period, mainly due to a large tract sale at the venture’s Southern Trails project in 2006, which generated a gain to the Company of $1.0 million.

26


Table of Contents

     Gain on Sale of Investment Properties. The 2006 gain consisted of the following: the sale of undeveloped land at the North Point/Westside project ($740,000); and the amortization of deferred gain from CP Venture ($126,000).
     The 2005 gain consisted of the following: the sale of undeveloped land at the North Point/Westside project ($3.9 million); the sale of undeveloped land at Wildwood ($7.3 million); the sale of undeveloped land at Cedar Grove Lakes ($1.1 million); and the amortization of deferred gain from CP Venture ($127,000).
     Impact of Recent and Potential Transactions. As discussed in Note 6 to the financial statements for the period ending June 30, 2006, the Company formed a venture (the “Venture”) with The Prudential Insurance Company of America on behalf of a separate account managed for institutional investors by Prudential Real Estate Investors (“PREI”) on June 29, 2006. The Company contributed five operating retail properties to the Venture. Three of these operating properties also had expansions under construction. The Company retained an ownership interest in the retail projects it contributed, which will equal an 11.5% interest by December 29, 2006 and for periods thereafter. The funding for the venture is being contributed in stages by PREI, with the first contribution of $167 million received upon formation and the remaining two contributions totaling $133 million, recorded as a receivable at June 30, 2006, to be received in two equal installments, one on September 29, 2006 and one on December 29, 2006. The Company did not recognize any gain in the income statement related to the Venture formation, although the contribution of the properties to the Venture was treated as a sale for accounting purposes using guidance outlined in SFAS No. 66, “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate.” The consideration received did not meet the requirements of SFAS No. 66 for income statement gain recognition, and the gain was included in the Deferred Gain line item on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
     Because the Company no longer consolidates the operations of the properties contributed to the Venture, rental property revenues, rental property operating expenses and depreciation and amortization will decrease as a result of the Venture formation. One of the projects contributed, The Avenue East Cobb, was encumbered by a mortgage note payable. The property was contributed to the venture subject to this mortgage, and therefore interest expense will also be reduced in future periods. The Company retained an ownership interest in the five properties, which will be accounted for under the equity method. Therefore, income from unconsolidated joint ventures will increase. Additionally, the Company used the initial cash contribution to reduce amounts outstanding on its credit facility and anticipates doing the same with the remaining cash contributions to be received in the second half of 2006.
     The Company currently has the Bank of America Plaza office building, which is owned in a joint venture in which the Company is a 50% partner, under contract for sale. The Company accounts for its investment in and the results of operations of this building under the equity method. If the sale is consummated, investment in unconsolidated joint ventures on the balance sheet and income from unconsolidated joint ventures will decrease significantly in the future. Additionally, the Company is liable for the entire mortgage note payable on the Bank of America Plaza building, which the Company intends to repay upon closing of the sale, with associated defeasance costs. Therefore, notes payable and ongoing interest expense will decrease as a result of the sale.
     Frost Bank Tower is also currently under contract to sell. This property is consolidated and rental property revenues, rental property operating expenses and depreciation and amortization are anticipated to decrease from this sale. In addition to property sales described above, the Company has a contract to purchase One Ninety One Peachtree Tower. The purchase of One Ninety One Peachtree Tower and the sale of Frost Bank Tower are contingent upon one another. Results of operations for One Ninety One Peachtree Tower are not expected to be significant in the near term, as this property has high vacancy, and cash outlays to effect leasing may be significant.

     The Company anticipates recording significant gains on these sales in the period they close. The Company expects it will utilize the net cash proceeds, after debt repayment and property purchase, from these sales to reduce amounts outstanding under its credit facility, to pay for future development costs or to utilize in the payment of a special dividend if the taxable income from these property sales is distributed in cash.
     Funds From Operations. The table below shows Funds From Operations Available to Common Stockholders (“FFO”) and the related reconciliation to net income available to common stockholders for the Company. In the first six months of 2006 and 2005, the Company calculated FFO in accordance with the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts’ (“NAREIT”) definition, which is net income available to common stockholders (computed in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”)), excluding extraordinary items, cumulative effect of change in accounting principle and gains or losses from sales of depreciable property, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures to reflect FFO on the same basis. The Company presented the NAREIT-defined calculation and an adjusted NAREIT-defined calculation of FFO in 2006 to add back the loss on extinguishment of debt recognized in the second quarter of 2006 related to the Venture formation described in Note 6 herein. The Company presented this additional measure of FFO because the loss on extinguishment of debt related to the sale or exchange of real estate, and all other amounts related to sales or exchanges of real estate are excluded from FFO.
     FFO is used by industry analysts and investors as a supplemental measure of an equity REIT’s operating performance. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves. Thus, NAREIT created FFO as a supplemental measure of REIT operating performance that excludes historical cost depreciation, among other items, from GAAP net income. The use of FFO, combined with the required primary GAAP presentations, has been fundamentally beneficial, improving the understanding of operating results of REITs among the investing public and making comparisons of REIT operating results more meaningful. Company management evaluates the operating performance of its reportable segments and of its divisions based on FFO. Additionally, the Company uses FFO and FFO per share, along with other measures, to assess performance in connection with evaluating and granting incentive compensation to its officers and employees. The reconciliation of net income (loss) available to common stockholders to funds from operations, both NAREIT – defined and as-adjusted, is as follows:

     Stock-Based Compensation.
     The Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment,” on January 1, 2006 utilizing the modified prospective method. This standard requires that companies recognize compensation expense in the statement of income for the grant-date fair value of share-based awards that vest during the period. The Company calculates the grant-date fair value of its awards using the Black-Scholes model, which it also utilized under SFAS No. 123 pro forma disclosures. Assumptions used under SFAS No. 123 are not materially different from those used under SFAS No. 123(R). The impact of expensing stock options under SFAS No. 123(R) in the three and six month 2006 periods was approximately $0.4 million and $1.1 million, respectively, after accounting for the effect of capitalizing salaries and related benefits of certain development and leasing personnel to projects under development and after the effect of income taxes. The total unrecognized compensation cost related to all non-vested share-based payment arrangements was $16.8 million, which will be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.3 years.
Liquidity and Capital Resources:
     Financial Condition.
     Summary. The Company had a significant number of projects in its development pipeline at June 30, 2006 and does not expect the number of projects or the amounts invested in development projects to decrease in the near term. The Company has one existing office building under a purchase contract that will require capital to acquire and to invest in leasing and re-development activities. It also has a large amount of undeveloped land, both consolidated and at unconsolidated joint ventures, which may progress into development projects in the remainder of 2006 or 2007. Additionally, the Company and its joint ventures sold a significant number of operating properties in the last several years, some of which have been replaced by the completion of properties previously under development. The Company and its joint venture partners have entered into contracts to sell some properties in the second half of 2006, which are expected to provide cash proceeds. However, the Company may require additional cash in the remainder of 2006 depending on the pace of development, which management believes maybe secured through one or more of the following

alternatives: additional borrowings, formations of joint ventures, capital transactions, and the selective and strategic sale of mature operating properties or parcels of land held for investment. The financial condition of the Company is discussed in further detail below.

(1)   Interest on variable rate obligations is based on rates effective as of June 30, 2006.
     The Company formed a venture with the Prudential Insurance Company of America (“PREI”), as discussed in Note 6 to the financial statements (the “Venture”). The Company contributed its interests in five retail properties and PREI will contribute cash to the Venture equal to the agreed upon net value of the properties the Company contributed. PREI contributed $167 million in June 2006 to the development venture (“Development Activity LLC”) and is obligated to contribute an additional $133 million during the remainder of 2006. In addition, PREI may make further contributions of up to $20.5 million to the Venture in 2006 and 2007 based on future leasing and development performed by the Company on the contributed properties.
     The cash held by Development Activity LLC is expected to be used to fund development projects of that entity. The funds may be loaned to the Company in the interim until utilized for development. The Company is property manager of Property Activity LLC.
     In addition to capital generated from the Venture formation, the Company (or the joint venture in which the Company is a partner) currently has Bank of America Plaza and Frost Bank Tower under contract to sell. The Frost Bank Tower sale and the Company’s purchase of One Ninety One Peachtree Tower are contingent upon one another. This property may require significant cash outlays in the future for tenant costs as the Company attempts to re-lease this property, which has significant vacancy. The Company may consider selling other income producing assets in 2006 as a result of the continued strategic review and analysis of assets it holds. These sales are expected to result in capital gains that may be distributed to stockholders in the form of a special dividend.
     The Company also expects to utilize indebtedness to fund a portion of its commitments. In the first quarter, the Company created additional capacity for debt funding by expanding its existing revolving credit facility and by adding a construction facility. The revised credit facility can be expanded to $500 million under certain circumstances, although the availability of the additional capacity is not guaranteed. As of June 30, 2006, the Company had $99.2 million drawn on its $400

million credit facility. The amount available under this credit facility is reduced by outstanding letters of credit, which were approximately $9.5 million at June 30, 2006. As of June 30, 2006, the spread over LIBOR was 0.90%.
     The Company also entered into an unsecured $100 million construction facility in the first quarter of 2006. While this facility is unsecured, advances under the facility are to be used to fund the construction costs of the Terminus 100 project. As of June 30, 2006 the Company had $45.2 million drawn on its construction facility.
     The Company’s mortgage debt is primarily non-recourse fixed-rate mortgage notes payable secured by various real estate assets. As of June 30, 2006, the weighted average interest rate on the Company’s debt was 6.78%. In addition, many of the Company’s non-recourse mortgages contain covenants which, if not satisfied, could result in acceleration of the maturity of the debt. The Company expects that it will either refinance the non-recourse mortgages at maturity or repay the mortgages with proceeds from other financings.
     As of June 30, 2006, the Company’s debt to total market capitalization ratio was 18.6%.
     The Company may also generate capital through the issuance of securities that includes, but is not limited to, preferred stock under an existing shelf registration statement. As of June 30, 2006, the Company had approximately $100 million available for issuance under this registration statement.
     Over the long term, the Company will continue to actively manage its portfolio of income producing properties and strategically sell assets to capture value for shareholders and to recycle capital for future development activities. The Company will continue to utilize indebtedness to fund future commitments and expects to place long term permanent mortgages on selected assets as well as utilize construction facilities for other development assets. The Company may enter into additional joint venture arrangements to help fund future developments and may enter into additional structured transactions with third parties. While the Company does not foresee the need to issue common equity in the future, it will evaluate all public equity sources and select the most appropriate options as capital is required.
     The Company’s business model is highly dependent upon raising capital to meet development obligations. If one or more sources of capital are not available when required, the Company may be forced to raise capital on potentially unfavorable terms which could have an adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
     Cash Flows.
     Cash Flows from Operating Activities. Cash flows from operating activities increased $46.3 million between the six month 2006 period and the corresponding 2005 period. A significant reason for this increase was approximately $33 million in cash received from the closing of 90 units in the second quarter of 2006 in the 905 Juniper multi-family residential project. Changes in accounts payable and accrued liabilities increased $10.3 million, mainly due to accruals of property taxes and the timing of payments. Cash flows from operating activities also increased as a result of net cash provided by recently developed and opened income producing properties. In addition, during 2006, the Company received a lease termination fee of $2.3 million. Partially offsetting the increase in net cash provided by operating activities was an increase in expenditures for multi-family development of $8.1 million due to the aforementioned 905 Juniper project.
     Cash Flows from Investing Activities. Cash flows from investing activities increased $118.5 million between the six month 2006 period compared to the six month 2005 period. This increase was mainly due to proceeds received from the Venture formation with PREI, as the first installment was received in June 2006. The increase was also related to a $6.5 million reduction in investments in unconsolidated joint ventures during 2006, mainly from lower contributions of $7.4 million to CL Realty in 2006 as compared to 2005. Partially offsetting these increases was an increase in property

Table of Contents

acquisition and development expenditures of $23.1 million, due to higher expenditures for projects under development in 2006 compared to 2005 and to land purchases in 2006, specifically for the Company’s second industrial project in Jackson County, Georgia and land in Austin, Texas for a future office development. In addition, proceeds from investment property sales decreased during 2006 due to fewer acres sold at the Company’s Cedar Grove Lakes, Wildwood and North Point/Westside projects. In addition, other assets increased $10.7 million, mainly due to increased predevelopment expenditures in 2006.
     Cash Flows from Financing Activities. Cash flows from financing activities decreased $82.0 million between the six month 2006 period compared to the six month 2005 period. The primary reason for the decrease was an increase in net repayments on the credit and construction facilities of $61.4 million, due to cash received upon Venture formation, as discussed above. Repayments of other notes payable were also $18.6 million higher, mainly due to repayments of the 905 Juniper construction loan due to unit closings as discussed above. This was partially offset by borrowings on the 905 Juniper construction loan, which was the substantial reason for the increase in proceeds on other notes payable of $8.7 million. Also contributing to the decrease in cash flows from financing activities was an increase in distributions to minority partners of $6.2 million, due to the Company’s purchase of the partner's interest in The Avenue Peachtree City which was owned in a venture and to payments to the Company’s partner in the 905 Juniper project.
     During the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Company paid common and preferred dividends of $45.2 million which it funded with cash provided by operating activities. During the six months ended June 30, 2005, the Company paid $44.2 million which it funded with cash provided by operating activities, proceeds from investment property sales and distributions from unconsolidated joint ventures in excess of income. For the foreseeable future, the Company intends to fund its quarterly distributions to common and preferred stockholders with cash provided by operating activities, a portion of proceeds from investment property sales and a portion of distributions from unconsolidated joint ventures in excess of income.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
     The Company participates in a number of joint ventures, some of which it accounts for under the equity method of accounting. At June 30, 2006, the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures had aggregate outstanding indebtedness to third parties of approximately $390.2 million of which the Company’s share was $170.2 million. These loans are generally mortgage or construction loans that are non-recourse to the Company. In certain instances, the Company provides “non-recourse carve-out guarantees” on these non-recourse loans. The unconsolidated joint ventures also have letters of credit and/or performance bonds which the Company guarantees, which totaled approximately $7.6 million at June 30, 2006.
     Two of these ventures are involved in the active acquisition and development of residential real estate. As capital is required to fund the acquisition and development of this real estate, the Company must fund its share of the costs not funded by operations or outside financing. Based on the nature of the activities conducted in these ventures, management cannot estimate with any degree of accuracy amounts that the Company may be required to fund in the short or long-term. However, management does not believe that additional funding of these ventures will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition.
     The Company does not expect to make significant capital contributions to any of its remaining unconsolidated joint ventures in the remainder of 2006.

Critical Accounting Policies
     There has been no material change in the Company’s critical accounting policies from those disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
     There has been no material change in the Company’s market risk related to its notes payable and notes receivable from that disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
     We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management necessarily applied its judgment in assessing the costs and benefits of such controls and procedures, which, by their nature, can provide only reasonable assurance regarding management’s control objectives. We also have investments in certain unconsolidated entities. As we do not always control or manage these entities, our disclosure controls and procedures with respect to such entities are necessarily more limited than those we maintain with respect to our consolidated subsidiaries.
     The Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls can prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. There are inherent limitations in all control systems, including the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of one or more persons. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and, while our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to be effective under circumstances where they should reasonably be expected to operate effectively, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Because of the inherent limitations in any control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process and were taken into account in designing the Company’s processes.
     As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer along with the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness, design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b). Based upon the foregoing, the Chief Executive Officer along with the Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at providing reasonable assurance that all material information required to be included in our Exchange Act reports is reported in a timely manner. In addition, based on such evaluation we have identified no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
