FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain matters contained in this report are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws and are subject to uncertainties and risks, as itemized in Item 1A included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. These forward-looking statements include information about possible or assumed future results of the Company's business and the Company's financial condition, liquidity, results of operations, plans, and objectives. They also include, among other things, statements regarding subjects that are forward-looking by their nature, such as:

the Company's business and financial strategy;

•the Company's ability to obtain future financing arrangements;

•future acquisitions and future dispositions of operating assets;

•future acquisitions of land;

•future development and redevelopment opportunities;

•future dispositions of land and other non-core assets;

•projected operating results;

•market and industry trends;

•future distributions;

•projected capital expenditures; and

•interest rates.

The forward-looking statements are based upon management's beliefs, assumptions, and expectations of the Company's future performance, taking into account information currently available. These beliefs, assumptions, and expectations may change as a result of possible events or factors, not all of which are known. If a change occurs, the Company's business, financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations may vary materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements. Actual results may vary from forward-looking statements due to, but not limited to, the following:

the availability and terms of capital and financing;

the ability to refinance indebtedness as it matures;

the failure of purchase, sale, or other contracts to ultimately close;

the failure to achieve anticipated benefits from acquisitions and investments or from dispositions;

the potential dilutive effect of common stock offerings;

the availability of buyers and adequate pricing with respect to the disposition of assets;

risks related to the geographic concentration of our portfolio;

risks and uncertainties related to national and local economic conditions, the real estate industry in general, and the commercial real estate markets in particular;

changes to the Company's strategy with regard to land and other non-core holdings that require impairment losses to be recognized;

leasing risks, including the ability to obtain new tenants or renew expiring tenants, and the ability to lease newly developed and/or recently acquired space;

the financial condition of existing tenants;

volatility in interest rates and insurance rates;

the availability of sufficient investment opportunities;

competition from other developers or investors;

the risks associated with real estate developments ~~and acquisitions~~ (such as zoning approval, ~~receipts~~receipt of required permits, construction delays, cost overruns, and leasing risk);

the loss of key personnel;

the potential liability for uninsured losses, condemnation, or environmental issues;

the potential liability for a failure to meet regulatory requirements;

the financial condition and liquidity of, or disputes with, joint venture partners;

any failure to comply with debt covenants under credit agreements; and

any failure to continue to qualify for taxation as a real estate investment trust.

The words “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “plans,” “may,” “intend,” “will,” or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Although the Company believes its plans, intentions, and expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company can give no assurance that such plans, intentions, or expectations will be achieved. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of future events, new information, or otherwise, except as required under U.S. federal securities laws.

COUSINS PROPERTIES INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014

(Unaudited)

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated financial statements included herein include the accounts of Cousins Properties Incorporated (“Cousins”) and its consolidated subsidiaries, including Cousins Real Estate Corporation and its subsidiaries (“CREC”). All of the entities included in the consolidated financial statements are hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Company.”

The Company develops, acquires, leases, manages, and owns primarily Class A office ~~properties~~assets and opportunistic mixed-use ~~developments~~properties in Sunbelt markets with a focus on Georgia, Texas, and North Carolina. Cousins has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) and intends to, among other things, distribute 90% of its net taxable income to stockholders, thereby eliminating any liability for federal income taxes under current law. 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, if applicable, the statements of operations include a provision for, or benefit from, 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 (“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 ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014 and the results of operations for the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014 and 2013. The results of operations for the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014 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 consolidated 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, 2013. The accounting policies employed are substantially the same as those shown in note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in such Form 10-K.

For the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014 and 2013, there were no items of other comprehensive income. Therefore, no presentation of comprehensive income is required.

In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued new guidance related to the presentation of discontinued operations. Currently, the Company includes activity for all assets held for sale and disposals in discontinued operations on the statements of operations. Under the new guidance, only assets held for sale and disposals representing a major strategic shift in operations, such as the disposal of a line of business, a significant geographical area, or a major equity investment, will be presented as discontinued operations. Additionally, the new guidance requires expanded disclosures about discontinued operations that will provide more information about their assets, liabilities, income, and expenses. The guidance is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2014. The Company does not expect adoption of this guidance to have a material effect on results of operations or financial condition.

In May 2014, the FASB issued new guidance related to the accounting for revenue from contracts with customers. Under the new guidance, companies will recognize revenue when the seller satisfies a performance obligation, which would be when the buyer takes control of the good or service. This new guidance could result in different amounts of revenue being recognized and could result in revenue being recognized in different reporting periods than it is under the current guidance. The new guidance specifically excludes revenue associated with lease contracts. The guidance is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and early adoption is prohibited.

2. PROPERTY TRANSACTIONS

Discontinued Operations

Accounting rules require that the historical operating results of held-for-sale or sold assets which meet certain accounting rules be included in a separate section, discontinued operations, in the statements of operations for all periods presented. If the asset is sold, the related gain or loss on sale is also included in discontinued operations. In addition, assets and liabilities of held for sale properties, as defined, are required to be separately categorized on the balance sheet.

The following properties were held for sale or sold in 2014 or 2013, respectively, and met the criteria for discontinued operations presentation ($ in thousands):

On May 28, 2014, the Company entered into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “New Facility”) under which the Company may borrow up to $500 million if certain conditions are satisfied. The New Facility recast the Company's existing $350 million senior unsecured revolving line of credit, dated February 28, 2012 (the “Existing Facility”) by:

Increasing the size by $150 million to $500 million;

Extending the maturity date from February 28, 2016 to May 28, 2019;

Reducing the per annum variable interest rate spread and other fees; and

Providing for the expansion of the New Facility by an additional $250 million for a total available of $750 million, subject to receipt of additional commitments from lenders and other customary conditions.

The New Facility contains certain financial covenants that require, among other things, the maintenance of an unencumbered interest coverage ratio of at least 2.00; a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.50; an overall leverage of no more than 60%; and a minimum shareholders’ equity in an amount equal to $1.0 billion, plus a portion of the net cash proceeds from certain equity issuances. The New Facility also contains customary representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants, as well as customary events of default. The amounts outstanding under the New Facility may be accelerated upon the occurrence of any events of default.

The interest rate applicable to the New Facility varies according to the Company’s leverage ratio, and may, at the election of the Company, be determined based on either (1) the current LIBOR plus the applicable spread detailed below, or (2) the greater of Bank of America’s prime rate, the federal funds rate plus 0.50% or the one-month LIBOR plus 1.0% (the “Base Rate”), plus

Table of Contents

the applicable spread detailed below. Fees on letters of credit issued under the New Facility are payable at an annual rate equal to the spread applicable to loans bearing interest based on LIBOR. The Company also pays an annual facility fee on the total commitments under the New Facility. The pricing spreads and the facility fee under the New Facility are as follows:



Leverage Ratio	Applicable % Spread for LIBOR Loans	Applicable % Spread for Base Rate Loans	Annual Facility Fee %
≤ 30%	1.10%	0.10%	0.15%
> 30% but ≤ 35%	1.10%	0.10%	0.20%
> 35% but ≤ 40%	1.15%	0.15%	0.20%
> 40% but ≤ 45%	1.20%	0.20%	0.20%
> 45% but ≤ 50%	1.20%	0.20%	0.25%
> 50%	1.45%	0.45%	0.30%

The New Facility also provides for alternative pricing spreads and facility fees, which would be available to the Company on any date after the Company obtains an investment grade credit rating.

Fair Value

At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the aggregate estimated fair values of the Company's notes payable were $~~610.2~~701.2 million and $654.1 million, respectively, calculated by discounting the debt's remaining contractual cash flows at estimated rates at which similar loans could have been obtained at those respective dates. The estimate of the current market rate, which is the most significant input in the discounted cash flow calculation, is intended to replicate debt of similar maturity and loan-to-value relationship. These fair value calculations are considered to be Level 2 under the guidelines as set forth in the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 820, Fair Value Measurement, as the Company utilizes market rates for similar type loans from third party brokers.

Other Information

For the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014 and 2013, interest expense was as follows (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended March 31,						Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,

The real estate and other assets of The American Cancer Society Center (the “ACS Center”) are restricted under the ACS Center loan agreement in that they are not available to settle debts of the Company. However, provided that the ACS Center loan has not incurred any uncured event of default, as defined in the loan agreement, the cash flows from the ACS Center, after payments of debt service, operating expenses and reserves, are available for distribution to the Company.

7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Commitments

~~Table of Contents~~

At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014, the Company had outstanding letters of credit and performance bonds totaling $2.4 million. As a lessor, the Company has $~~102.6~~101.2 million in future obligations under leases to fund tenant improvements as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014. As a lessee, the Company has future obligations under ground and office leases of $~~150.1~~149.7 million as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014.

Litigation

The Company is subject to various legal proceedings, claims and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, some of which are expected to be covered by liability insurance. Management makes assumptions and estimates concerning the likelihood and amount of any potential loss relating to these matters using the latest information available. The Company records a liability for litigation if an unfavorable outcome is probable and the amount of loss or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. If an unfavorable outcome is probable and a reasonable estimate of the loss is a range, the Company accrues the best estimate within the range. If no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, the Company accrues the minimum amount within the range. If an unfavorable outcome is probable but the amount of the loss cannot be reasonably

Table of Contents

estimated, the Company discloses the nature of the litigation and indicates that an estimate of the loss or range of loss cannot be made. If an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible and the estimated loss is material, the Company discloses the nature and estimate of the possible loss of the litigation. The Company does not disclose information with respect to litigation where an unfavorable outcome is considered to be remote or where the estimated loss would not be material. Based on current expectations, such matters, both individually and in the aggregate, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the liquidity, results of operations, business or financial condition of the Company.

8. NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS

The Company consolidates various joint ventures that are involved in the ownership and/or development of real estate. The following table details the components of redeemable noncontrolling interests in consolidated entities for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014 and 2013 (in thousands):

9. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

In March 2014, the Company issued 8.7 million shares of common stock resulting in net proceeds to the Company of ~~$98.6~~$98.5 million.

~~Subsequent to quarter end,~~ In April 2014, the Company redeemed all outstanding shares of its 7.5% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share, for $25.00 per share or $94.8 million, excluding accrued ~~dividends, on April 14, 2014.~~dividends. In connection with the ~~second quarter~~redemption of ~~2014,~~Preferred Stock, the Company ~~expects to decrease~~decreased net income available for common shareholders by $3.5 million (non-cash), which represents the original issuance costs applicable to the shares redeemed.

In April 2013, the Company issued 16.5 million shares of common stock resulting in net proceeds to the Company of $165.1 million. In May 2013, the Company redeemed all outstanding shares of its 7 3/4% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share, for $25.00 per share or $74.8 million, excluding accrued dividends. In connection with the redemption of Preferred Stock, the Company increased net loss available for common shareholders by $2.7 million (non-cash), which represents the original issuance costs applicable to the shares redeemed. In 2013, the Company reclassified these costs as well as the basis difference in the Preferred Stock repurchased by the Company in 2008 from Additional Paid-In Capital to Distributions in Excess of Net Income within the Company's statements of equity.

10. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company has several types of stock-based compensation - stock options, restricted stock, long-term incentive awards and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) - which are described in note 13 of notes to consolidated financial statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. The expense related to certain stock-based compensation awards is fixed. The expense related to other awards fluctuates from period to period dependent, in part, on the Company's stock

~~Table of Contents~~

~~price.~~ price and stock performance relative to its peers. The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense, net of forfeitures, of $~~2.5~~2.4 million and $~~2.8 million~~862,000 for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively and $4.8 million and $3.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

The Company maintains the 2005 Restricted Stock Unit Plan (the “RSU Plan”), which is described in note 13 of notes to consolidated financial statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. The Company made restricted stock grants in 2014 of 137,591 shares to key employees, which vest ratably over a three-year period.

Table of Contents

In addition, the Company awarded two types of RSUs to key employees based on the following metrics: (1) Total Stockholder Return of the Company, as defined in the RSU Plan, as compared to the companies in the SNL US REIT Office index (“SNL RSUs”), and (2) the ratio of cumulative funds from operations per share to targeted cumulative funds from operations per share (“FFO RSUs”) as defined in the RSU Plan. The performance period for both awards is January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2016, and the targeted units awarded of SNL RSUs and FFO RSUs is 108,751 and 56,405, respectively. The ultimate payout of these awards can range from 0% to 200% of the targeted number of units depending on the achievement of the market and performance metrics described above. Both of these RSUs cliff vest on January 30, 2017 and are dependent upon the attainment of required service, market and performance criteria. The number of RSUs vesting will be determined at that date, and the payout per unit will be equal to the average closing price on each trading day during the 30-day period ending on December 31, 2016. The SNL RSUs are valued using a quarterly Monte Carlo valuation and are expensed over the vesting period. The FFO RSUs are expensed over the vesting period using the fair market value of the Company's stock at the reporting date multiplied by the anticipated number of units to be paid based on the current estimate of what the ratio is expected to be upon vesting.

11. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Net income (loss) per share-basic is calculated as net income (loss) available to common stockholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, including nonvested restricted stock which has nonforfeitable dividend rights. Net income (loss) per share-diluted is calculated as net income (loss) 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 uses the same weighted average share number as in the basic calculation and adds the potential dilution, if any, that would occur if stock options (or any other contracts to issue common stock) were exercised and resulted in additional common shares outstanding, calculated using the treasury stock method. The numerator is reduced for the effect of preferred dividends in both the basic and diluted net income (loss) per share calculations. Weighted average shares-basic and diluted for the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, are as follows (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended March 31,		Three Months Ended June 30,		Six Months Ended June 30,
	2014	2013	2014	2013	2014	2013
Weighted average shares — basic	191,739	104,119	198,440	118,661	195,108	111,430
Dilutive potential common shares — stock options	213	133	—	—	239	163
Weighted average shares — diluted	191,952	104,252	198,440	118,661	195,347	111,593
Weighted average anti-dilutive stock options	2,200	3,123	2,200	2,942	2,200	3,129

Stock options are dilutive when the average market price of the Company's stock during the period exceeds the option exercise price. In periods where the Company is in a net loss position, the dilutive effect of stock options is not included in the diluted weighted average shares total.

Anti-dilutive stock options represent stock options which are outstanding but which are not exercisable during the period because the exercise price exceeded the average market value of the Company's stock. These anti-dilutive stock options are not included in the current calculation of dilutive weighted average shares, but could be dilutive in the future.

12. REPORTABLE SEGMENTS

The Company has four reportable segments: Office, Retail, Land, and Other. These reportable segments represent an aggregation of operating segments reported to the chief operating decision maker based on similar economic characteristics that include the type of product and the nature of service. Each segment includes both consolidated operations and joint ventures, where applicable. The Office and Retail segments show the results for that product type. The Land segment includes results of operations for certain land holdings and single-family residential communities. The Other segment includes:

fee income and related expenses for third party owned properties and joint venture properties for which the Company performs management, development and leasing services;

compensation for corporate employees;

general corporate overhead costs, interest expense for consolidated and unconsolidated entities;

income attributable to noncontrolling interests;

income taxes;

depreciation; and

preferred dividends.

1213

Table of Contents

~~income taxes;~~

~~depreciation; and~~

~~preferred dividends.~~

Company management evaluates the performance of its reportable segments in part 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 (loss) available to common stockholders (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding extraordinary items, cumulative effect of change in accounting principle and gains on sale or impairment losses on 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.

FFO is used by industry analysts, investors and the Company as a supplemental measure of a 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 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 operating performance in part based on FFO. Additionally, the Company uses FFO, along with other measures, to assess performance in connection with evaluating and granting incentive compensation to its officers and other key employees.

Segment net income, the balance of the Company’s investment in joint ventures and the amount of capital expenditures are not presented in the following tables. Management does not utilize these measures when analyzing its segments or when making resource allocation decisions, and therefore this information is not provided. FFO is reconciled to net income (loss) on a total Company basis (in thousands):

Table of Contents

When reviewing the results of operations for the Company, management analyzes the following revenue and income items net of their related costs:

Rental property operations;

Land sales; and

Gains on sales of investment properties.

These amounts are shown in the segment tables above in the same “net” manner as shown to management. In addition, management reviews the operations of discontinued operations and its share of the operations of its joint ventures in the same manner as the operations of its wholly-owned properties included in the continuing operations. Therefore, the information in the tables above includes the operations of discontinued operations and its share of joint ventures in the same categories as the operations of the properties included in continuing operations. Certain adjustments are required to reconcile the above segment information to the Company’s consolidated revenues. The following table reconciles information presented in the tables above to the Company’s consolidated revenues (in thousands):

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview:

The Company is a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust, or REIT. The Company's core focus is on the acquisition, development, leasing, management and ownership of Class-A office properties in Sunbelt markets with a particular focus on Georgia, Texas, and North Carolina. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014, the Company's portfolio of real estate assets consisted of interests in 16 operating office properties containing 14.6 million square feet of space, 6 operating retail properties containing 566,000 square feet of space, and two projects (one office and one mixed use) under active development. The Company has a comprehensive strategy in place based on a simple platform, trophy assets and opportunistic investments. This streamlined approach enables the Company to maintain a targeted, asset specific approach to investing where it seeks to leverage its development skills, relationships, market knowledge, and operational expertise. The Company intends to generate returns and create value for shareholders through the ~~further~~continued lease up of its portfolio, through the execution of its development pipeline, and through opportunistic investments in office, retail, and mixed-use projects within its core markets.

In March 2014, the Company issued 8.7 million shares of common stock resulting in net proceeds to the Company of $98.5 million. In April 2014, the Company redeemed all outstanding shares of its 7.5% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share, for $25.00 per share or $94.8 million, excluding accrued dividends. The Company believes that this transaction will improve the financial condition of the Company by reducing fixed charges and by eliminating preferred stock from its capital structure and effectively replacing it with common stock.

In May 2014, the Company's Credit Facility was recast to, among other things, increase the size from $350 million to $500 million, extend the maturity from February 28, 2016 to May 28, 2019, and reduce the per annum variable interest rate spread and other fees. The Company believes that this transaction will improve the financial condition of the Company by reducing interest expense and by extending the average maturity of the Company's debt.

The Company leased or renewed ~~454,000~~416,000 square feet of office and retail space during the ~~first~~second quarter of ~~2014.~~2014, bringing total square footage leased for the year to 870,000. Net effective rent, representing base rent less operating expense reimbursements and leasing costs, was ~~$15.14~~$17.37 per square foot for office properties in the second quarter of 2014 and was $16.26 for the first ~~quarter~~half of 2014. Net effective rent per square foot for office properties increased ~~12.7%~~48.4% during the second quarter of 2014 and increased 31.2% for the first half of 2014 on spaces that have been previously occupied in the past year. The same property leasing percentage remained stable throughout the ~~quarter.~~first half of 2014. The Company continues to target urban high-barrier to entry submarkets in Austin, Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, Atlanta, Charlotte, and Raleigh. Management believes these markets continue to show positive demographic and economic trends compared to the national average.

In March 2014, the Company issued 8.7 million shares of common stock resulting in net proceeds to the Company of $98.6 million. Subsequent to quarter end, the Company redeemed all outstanding shares of its 7.5% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share, for $25.00 per share or $94.8 million, excluding accrued dividends, on April 14, 2014. The Company expects these transactions to improve the financial condition of the Company by reducing fixed charges and by eliminating preferred stock from its capital structure.

Fee Income

Fee income decreased $2.1 million (33%) between the six month 2014 and 2013 periods. This decrease is primarily due a decrease in management fees resulting from the sale of the majority of the Company's remaining retail assets (Tiffany Springs MarketCenter, its 50% interest in The Avenue Murfreesboro, and its minority interests in eight retail properties in two joint ventures with Prudential) in the third quarter of 2013.

Gain on Sale of Investment Properties

Gain on sale of investment properties decreased ~~$57.0~~$56.1 million between the ~~three~~six month 2014 and 2013 periods. ~~The~~This decrease ~~relates~~is primarily due to gains recognized in February 2013 on the sale of 50% of the Company’s interest in Terminus 100 and on the acquisition of Terminus 200, which was achieved in stages. The 2014 amount relates to the sale of an undeveloped tract of land in Austin, Texas.

Discontinued Operations

Discontinued operations ~~for the 2014 and~~ ~~2013~~ ~~periods~~generally includes the operations of ~~the~~ properties that have been sold during the periods orpresented and properties that are held for sale as of ~~March 31, 2014. In~~ the ~~first quarter~~end of ~~2014,~~ the ~~Company~~reporting period. The properties that typically have the largest impact on discontinued operations are those that have recently sold or are held for sale. These properties include:

Lakeshore Park Plaza, which was held for sale at June 30, 2014;

Tiffany Springs MarketCenter and Inhibitex, which were sold in 2013; and

600 University Park Place, a 123,000 square foot office building in Birmingham, Alabama, which was sold in the first quarter of 2014 for a sales price of $19.7 ~~million, which~~million. This sales price represented a 8.1% capitalization rate. The Company recognized a $6.4 million gain on the sale. Discontinued operations also includes Lakeshore Park Plaza, which was held for sale at March 31, 2014, and Tiffany Spring MarketCenter and Inhibitex, which were sold in 2013. Capitalization rates are generally calculated by dividing projected annualized net operating income by the sales price.

Table of Contents

In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued new guidance on discontinued operations. Under the new guidance, only assets held for sale and disposals representing a major strategic shift in operations will be presented as discontinued operations. This guidance is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2016.

Dividends to Preferred Stockholders

Dividends to preferred stockholders decreased $~~1.5~~2.0 million and $3.5 million between the three and six month 2014 and 2013 periods, respectively, due to the redemption of the Series B preferred stock in the second quarter of 2014 and the redemption of the Series A preferred stock in the second quarter of 2013. The Company has no remaining outstanding preferred stock as of June 30, 2014 and, as a result, in future periods will have no preferred stock dividends.

Preferred Stock Original Issuance Costs

In April 2014, the Company redeemed all outstanding shares of its 7.5% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock. In connection with the redemption of Preferred Stock, the Company decreased net income available for common shareholders by $3.5 million (non-cash), which represents the original issuance costs applicable to the shares redeemed.

In May 2013, the Company redeemed all outstanding shares of its 7 3/4% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock. In connection with the redemption of Preferred Stock, the Company increased net loss available for common shareholders by $2.7 million (non-cash), which represents the original issuance costs applicable to the shares redeemed. In 2013, the Company reclassified these costs as well as the basis difference in the Preferred Stock repurchased by the Company in 2008 from Additional Paid-In Capital to Distributions in Excess of Net Income within the Company's statements of equity.

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. The Company calculates 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 GAAP), excluding extraordinary items, cumulative effect of change in accounting principle and gains on sale or impairment losses on 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.

FFO is used by industry analysts and investors as a supplemental measure of a 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 operating performance in part based on FFO. Additionally, the Company uses FFO, along with other measures, to assess performance in connection with evaluating and granting incentive compensation to its officers and other key employees. The reconciliation of net income (loss) available to common stockholders to FFO is as follows for the three and six months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 (in thousands, except per share information):

Same Property Net Operating Income

Net Operating Income is used by industry analysts, investors and Company management to measure operating performance of the Company's properties. Net Operating Income, which is rental property revenues less rental property operating expenses, excludes certain components from net income in order to provide results that are more closely related to a property's results of operations. Certain items, such as interest expense, while included in FFO and net income, do not affect the operating performance of a real estate asset and are often incurred at the corporate level as opposed to the property level. As a result, management uses only those income and expense items that are incurred at the property level to evaluate a property's performance. Depreciation and amortization are also excluded from Net Operating Income. Same Property Net Operating Income includes those office properties that have been fully operational in each of the comparable reporting periods. A fully operational property is one that has achieved 90% economic occupancy for each of the two periods presented or has been substantially complete and owned by the Company for each of the two periods presented and the preceding year. Same Property Net Operating Income allows analysts, investors and management to analyze continuing operations and evaluate the growth trend of the Company's portfolio.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s primary liquidity sources are:

Net cash from operations;

Sales of assets;

Borrowings under its Credit Facility;

Proceeds from mortgage notes payable;

Proceeds from equity offerings; and

Joint venture formations.

The Company’s primary liquidity uses are:

Property acquisitions;

Expenditures on development projects;

Building improvements, tenant improvements, and leasing costs;

Principal and interest payments on indebtedness; and

Common ~~and preferred~~ stock dividends.

In the first quarter of 2014, the Company issued 8.7 million shares of common stock at $11.365 per share which generated net proceeds to the Company of ~~$98.6~~$98.5 million. The Company used the proceeds from this offering to paydown the Credit Facility in preparation for the redemption of all outstanding shares of its 7.5% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share on April 14, 2014. In second quarter of 2014, the Company redeemed all outstanding shares of its 7.5% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share, for $25.00 per share or $94.8 million, excluding accrued dividends. The Company believes that these transactions will improve the financial condition of the Company by reducing fixed charges and by eliminating preferred stock from its capital structure. ~~At March 31,~~In the second quarter of 2014, the Company ~~had no amounts outstanding under its Credit Facility, cash on hand~~decreased net income available to common stockholders by $3.5 million (non-cash), which represents the original issuance costs of $29.1 million, and the ability to borrow $349.0 million under the Credit Facility.

In the first quarter of 2014, the Company increased the dividend on its common stock from $0.045 per share to $0.075 per share. ~~Beginning in~~As of June 30, 2014, the ~~second quarter of 2014,~~Company had no remaining outstanding preferred stock and, as a result, ~~of the~~in future periods will have no preferred stock ~~redemption, the Company will no longer pay quarterly dividends of $1.8 million on its preferred stock.~~ dividends.

In the second quarter of 2014, the Credit Facility was recast to, among other things, increase the size to $500 million, extend the maturity to May 28, 2019, and reduce the per annum variable interest rate spread and other fees. This transaction improved the financial condition of the Company by reducing the spread it pays over LIBOR and by extending the average maturity of its debt. At June 30, 2014, the Company had $80.5 million outstanding under its Credit Facility, cash on hand of $6.3 million, and the ability to borrow $418.6 million under the Credit Facility.

In July 2014, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase Fifth Third Center, a 698,000 square feet Class-A office property located in Charlotte, North Carolina. The gross purchase price for this property is $215.0 million. The Company expects to ~~reduce~~close this acquisition in the third quarter of 2014 and to fund this acquisition through net ~~income available to common stockholders by $3.5 million (non-cash), the original~~proceeds from an equity issuance ~~costs of the preferred stock that was redeemed.~~or proceeds from its credit facility.

The Company ~~continues~~continually pursues acquisition opportunities that are consistent with its strategy.

These contracts are not included in the above table and are usually reimbursed in whole or in part by tenants.

Other Debt Information

The Company's existing mortgage debt is primarily non-recourse, fixed-rate mortgage notes secured by various real estate assets. 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 asset sales or other financings.

Future Capital Requirements

Over the long term, management intends to actively manage its portfolio of properties and strategically sell assets to exit its non-core holdings, reposition its portfolio of income-producing assets geographically and by product type, and generate capital for future investment activities. The Company expects to continue to utilize indebtedness to fund future commitments and expects to place long-term mortgages on selected assets as well as to utilize construction facilities for some development assets, if available and under appropriate terms.

The Company may also generate capital through the issuance of securities that include common or preferred stock, warrants, debt securities or depositary shares. In March 2013, the Company filed a shelf registration statement to allow for the issuance of such securities through March 2016. ~~Management will continue to evaluate all public equity sources and select the most appropriate options as capital is required.~~

The Company’s business model is dependent upon raising or recycling capital to meet obligations. If one or more sources of capital are not available when required, the Company may be forced to reduce the number of projects it acquires or develops and/or raise capital on potentially unfavorable terms, or may be unable to raise capital, which could have an adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Cash Flows

The reasons for significant increases and decreases in cash flows between the periods are as follows:

Cash Flows from Operating Activities. Cash provided by operating activities increased $~~5.2~~28.9 million between the ~~three~~six month 2014 and 2013 periods due to the following:

Table of Contents

Cash flows increased ~~$11.4~~$32.9 million from property operations due primarily to the 2013 acquisitions of Greenway Plaza, 777 Main, Post Oak Central, and 816 Congress. This was partially offset by the 2013 sale of Tiffany Springs MarketCenter and of 50% of the Company's interest in Terminus 100;

Cash flows decreased $~~37.2~~50.0 million from distributions from unconsolidated joint ventures due mainly to a distribution from the Terminus Office Holdings joint venture in 2013.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities. Cash flows provided by financing activities ~~increased~~decreased $~~67.1~~45.3 million between the ~~three~~six month 2014 and 2013 periods due to the following:

Cash flows ~~increased $98.6 million as a result of the issuance of 8.7 million common shares in March 2014;~~

~~Cash flows~~ from notes payable increased ~~$71.4~~$66.6 million primarily due to the repayment of the Terminus 100 mortgage note payable in 2013;

Cash flows from the Credit Facility decreased ~~$95.1 million due to~~$10.6 million.

In the 2013 period, the Company paid down the Credit Facility with proceeds from the April 2013 equity offering and borrowed on the Credit Facility for the acquisitions of Post Oak Central and 816 Congress.

Capital Expenditures. The Company incurs costs related to its real estate assets that include acquisition of properties, development of new properties, redevelopment of existing or newly purchased properties, leasing costs for new or replacement tenants, and ongoing property repairs and maintenance.

Capital expenditures for assets the Company develops or acquires and then holds and operates are included in the property acquisition, development, and tenant asset expenditures line item within investing activities on the statements of cash flows. Amounts accrued are removed from the table below (accrued capital adjustment) to show the components of these costs on a cash basis. Components of costs included in this line item for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014 and 2013 are as follows (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended March 31,				Six Months Ended June 30,

Total property acquisition and development expenditures	$	36,653	$	295,789	$	70,730		$	410,807

Capital expenditures decreased in 2014 mainly due to the acquisitions of Post Oak Central and the remaining interest in Terminus 200 during 2013. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in capital expenditures for the development of Colorado Tower and for building improvements at 2100 Ross, Greenway Plaza, Promenade, and 816 Congress. Tenant improvements and

Table of Contents

leasing costs, as well as related capitalized personnel costs, are a function of the number and size of newly executed leases or renewals of existing leases. The amounts of tenant improvement and leasing costs for ~~our~~the Company's office portfolio on a per square foot basis ~~was~~were as follows:

~~Table of Contents~~



		~~Three~~Six Months Ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014
New leases		$~~8.00~~7.84
Renewal leases		$~~2.61~~3.13
Expansion leases		$~~4.01~~5.01

The amounts of tenant improvement and leasing costs on a per square foot basis vary by lease and by market. Given the level of expected leasing and renewal activity, in future periods management expects tenant improvements and leasing costs per square foot to remain consistent with those experienced in the first ~~quarter~~half of 2014.

Dividends. The Company paid ~~cash~~ common dividends of $~~14.2~~29.1 million and $~~4.7~~10.1 million in each of the ~~three~~six month 2014 and 2013 periods, respectively. The Company paid ~~cash~~ preferred dividends of $~~1.8~~3.0 million and $~~3.2~~6.5 million in the ~~three~~six month 2014 and 2013 periods, respectively. The Company funded the dividends with cash provided by operating activities and distributions from joint ~~ventures, and proceeds from property sales. The~~ventures. Going forward, the Company expects to fund its quarterly distributions to common ~~and preferred~~ stockholders with cash provided by operating ~~activities.~~activities and distributions from joint ventures.

On a quarterly basis, the Company reviews the amount of the common dividend in light of current and projected future cash flows from the sources noted above and also considers the requirements needed to maintain its REIT status. In addition, the Company has certain covenants under its Credit Facility which could limit the amount of dividends paid. In general, dividends of any amount can be paid as long as leverage, as defined in the facility, is less than 60% and the Company is not in default under its facility. Certain conditions also apply in which the Company can still pay dividends if leverage is above that amount. The Company routinely monitors the status of its dividend payments in light of the Credit Facility covenants.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

General. The Company has a number of off balance sheet joint ventures with varying structures, as described in note 5 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K. The joint ventures in which the Company has an interest are involved in the ownership, acquisition, and/or development of real estate. A venture will fund capital requirements or operational needs with cash from operations or financing proceeds, if possible. If additional capital is deemed necessary, a venture may request a contribution from the partners, and the Company will evaluate such request.

Debt. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014, the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures had aggregate outstanding indebtedness to third parties of ~~$434.0~~$419.3 million. These loans are generally mortgage or construction loans, most of which are non-recourse to the Company, except as described in the paragraphs below. In addition, in certain instances, the Company provides “non-recourse carve-out guarantees” on these non-recourse loans. Certain of these loans have variable interest rates, which creates exposure to the ventures in the form of market risk from interest rate changes.

The Company guarantees 25% of two of the four outstanding loans at the Cousins Watkins LLC joint venture, which owns four retail shopping centers. The two loans have a total capacity of $16.3 million, of which the Company guarantees 25% of the outstanding balance. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014, the Company guaranteed $2.9 million, based on amounts outstanding under these loans as of that date. These guarantees may be reduced or eliminated based on achievement of certain criteria.

The EP I construction loan has a total capacity of $61.1 million, of which the Company guarantees 7.5% of the outstanding balance. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014, the Company guaranteed $4.3 million, based on amounts outstanding under this loan as of that date. This guarantee may be reduced and/or eliminated based on the achievement of certain criteria.

The EP II construction loan has a total capacity of $46.0 million, of which the Company guarantees the lesser of $8.6 million or the outstanding balance. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014, the Company guaranteed $1,000, based on amounts outstanding under this loan as of that date. This guarantee may be reduced and/or eliminated based on the achievement of certain criteria.

Critical Accounting Policies

There have been no material changes 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, 2013.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

~~There have been no material changes in~~In the second quarter of 2014, the Credit Facility was recast to, among other things, increase the size to $500 million, extend the maturity to May 28, 2019, and reduce the per annum variable interest rate spread and other fees. Therefore, the market risk

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

~~Table of Contents~~

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.

Based upon the foregoing, the Chief Executive Officer along with the Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective. In addition, based on such evaluation we have identified no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
