As used in this table, the term "beneficial ownership" means sole
or shared voting power (including the power to vote or direct the vote)
and/or sole or shared investment power (including the power to dispose
or direct the disposition of) with respect to the security through any
contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship or otherwise, including
a right to acquire such power(s) during the next 60 days. More than one
person may be deemed to have beneficial ownership of some securities.
MATTERS TO BE CONSIDERED AT THE ANNUAL MEETING
The Operating Agreement of COR Development has an inconsistency regarding
who may determine if distributions are to be made to the holders of the
common units or the preferred units and a provision regarding compensation
of a member that may limit the Managers' ability to employ any member and
compensate him or her appropriately. The Managers believe that it is
necessary to eliminate this inconsistency and to amend the other provision.
Section 6.2(iii) of the Operating Agreement provides that the members of COR
Development determine if a distribution is to be made to the holders of the
common units or the preferred units. In other provisions of the Operating
Agreement, the Managers are given the authority to determine if these
distributions are to be made. Section 6.2(vi) of the Operating Agreement
provides that the members of COR Development determine if any compensation
should be paid to a member for services. Because members will generally only
be able to act at an annual or special meeting with notice having to be
printed and sent out to all members, the cost for the members to make this
determination would be much greater than the Managers meeting to make that
determination. As well, because the Managers may wish at some time to employ
a member for his or her services, the Managers' ability to do so would be
greatly limited if a meeting of the members had to be called before the
Managers could employ that person and compensate him or her appropriately.
Finally, our accountants have recommended technical changes in Article VIII
to properly allow for the allocation of profit and loss. A new restated
Article VIII is proposed. Finally we ask for your ratification of our
selection of the CPA firm of Marks Nelson Vohland & Campbell, LLC, PA
as our auditors.
PROPOSAL ONE - AMENDMENT OF OPERATING AGREEMENT
The Managers propose that the following Section of the Operating
Agreement be amended:
The first sentence of Section 5.1.3.1 of the Operating Agreement would be
changed to read as follows:
3
Subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, the holders of the
Preferred Units shall be entitled to receive cumulative preferred return per
annum as set forth below from funds legally available therefore, when, as and
if declared by the Managers.
The Managers recommend that the members vote FOR this amendment of the
Operating Agreement of COR Development.
PROPOSAL TWO - AMENDMENT OF OPERATING AGREEMENT
The Managers propose that the following Section of the Operating
Agreement be amended as follows:
Section 6.2(iii) of the Operating Agreement will be deleted.
The Managers recommend that the members vote FOR this amendment of the
Operating Agreement of COR Development.
PROPOSAL THREE - AMENDMENT OF OPERATING AGREEMENT
The Managers propose that the following Section of the Operating
Agreement be amended as follows:
Section 6.2(vi) of the Operating Agreement will be deleted.
The Managers recommend that the members vote FOR this amendment of the
Operating Agreement of COR Development.
If the foregoing two subsections of Section 6.2 of the Operating
Agreement are deleted, the last paragraph of Section 6.2 of Operating
Agreement would be amended to read as follows:
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no act shall be taken, sum expended, decision
made or obligation incurred by the Company or the Managers, with respect to a
matter deemed to be a major decision (hereinafter called "Major Decisions"),
as enumerated below, unless such Major Decision has been approved by a majority
of the Members. The Major Decisions are:
i. The amendment, alteration or revision of this Operating
Agreement;
ii .The adoption or assumption of any contractual or other obligation, the
value of which exceeds $5,000,000.00;
iii. The making of the Company as a surety, guarantor or accommodation party
to any transaction, agreement or obligation;

account of any variation between the basis of the property to the Company and
its fair market value at the time of contribution.
(B) For purposes of determining shares of nonrecourse liabilities of the
Company under Treasury Regulation 1.752-3(a)(3), it is hereby specified (in
accordance with such Treasury Regulation) that the percentage interest in
Company profits of each Member or Successor is the same as his Distribution
Percentage.
(C) If the Company "revalues" its property under the provisions of Treasury
Regulation 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), the Capital Accounts shall be adjusted in
accordance with Treasury Regulation 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g) for allocations of
depreciation, depletion, amortization and gain or loss, as computed for book
purposes, with respect to so much of the Company's property as has been
subject to such "revaluation" as that term is used in Treasury Regulation
1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) (the "Revalued Property"). The distributive shares of the
Members and Successors of depreciation, depletion, amortization and gainor loss
with respect to Revalued Property, as computed for tax purposes, shall be
determined so as to take account of the variation between the adjusted tax
basis and book value of such Revalued Property in the same manner as under
Section 704(c) of the Code.
(D) If during any taxable year of the Company there is a change in the Interest
of any Member or Successor in the Company, then the Manager shall cause the
allocations of the Company's income, gains, losses, deductions and credits (and
items thereof) to be made in a manner which takes into account the varying
interests of the Members and Successors in the Company during such taxable year
in accordance with Code Section 706(d) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.
7
(E) The Managers are hereby authorized and directed to specially allocate items
of income, gain, loss and deduction among the Members during any fiscal year of
the Company and/or upon the Company's liquidation and termination (in any
reasonable manner which it determines appropriate) so as to cause the Members
Capital Accounts to be consistent with the manner in which they agreed to share
distributions hereunder (as reflected in Article VIII and Section 8.3). Each
Member agrees that he will not (1) file any federal, state or local income tax
return which would be inconsistent or at variance herewith, or (2) challenge or
contest the validity or propriety of the allocations made under the authority of
this Paragraph by the Manager.
Section 8.5 Special Gross Income Allocation
Notwithstanding the allocations made pursuant to sections 8.2, 8.3 or 8.4,
should in any year a distribution be made to a Preferred Unit Holder in an
amount that would cause their Adjusted Capital Account Balance to be reduced
below zero and in such a year there is insufficient amounts of Gross Income to
allocate to bring their Adjusted Capital Accounts to zero, then items of Gross
Income shall be "created" and allocated to them in an amount sufficient to cause
their Adjusted Capital Account Balances to be zero. The offsetting items of
deductions "created" shall be allocated to the Common Unit Holders in their
respective contribution percentages.
PROPOSAL FIVE - RATIFICATION OF AUDITORS
The Managers recommend that you ratify their selection of the CPA firm
of MarksNelson Vohland & Campbell, LLC, PA ("MNVC"), 4601 College Blvd.,
Leawood,Kansas 66211, as our auditors. MNVC has extensive experience in Public
accounting, including significant experience in auditing the financial records
of public companies such as COR Development. The Audit Committee has determined
that MNVC is independent from COR Development (and MNVC's auditing performance
would be independent from COR Development), as required by the AICPA and the
SEC. We have paid MNVC a total of $2,480.00 for non-audit consulting services
in 2000. No other fees for audit or non-audit services were paid to MNVC
during 2000. We ask that you ratify their one-year appointment as our auditors.
The Managers recommend that the members vote FOR this amendment of the Operating
Agreement of COR Development.
Approval of an amendment to the Operating Agreement requires a majority vote of
the members.
SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
The Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Section 16(a)") requires COR
Development's directors and executive officers and persons who own more than
10 percent of a registeredclass of COR Development's equity securities to file
with the Securities and ExchangeCommission ("SEC") initial reports of ownership
and reports of changes in ownership ofCOR Development Common Shares and other
equity securities. Officers, directors andgreater-than-ten percent shareholders
are required by SEC regulations to furnish COR Development with copies of all
Section 16(a) forms they file.
To COR Development's knowledge, based solely on review of the copies of any
such reports furnished to COR Development and written representations that no
other reports werere quired, all Section 16(a) filing requirements
applicable to its officers, directors and greater-than-ten percent beneficial
owners were complied with on a timely basis during the fiscal year.
8
PLAN OF OPERATION
For the next twelve (12) months, COR Development will be actively
Involved in the development of the 47 acres that were purchased in part with
the proceeds of the offering of the Common Units and the Preferred Units. During
the next few months, COR Development will be finalizing the site plans for the
building of the facilities for the office, retail and hotel space. We will then
be conducting meetings with the staff of the City of Leawood, Kansas and
meetings with adjacent property owners in preparation for receiving approval of
the site plans and receiving building permits for the construction of the
facilities.
We will employ a construction company for the construction of the facilities and
the overall management of the construction. As of this date, we have selected
Walton Construction Co., Inc. to act as the general contractor for the building
of the facilities. As of this date, we also have selected a company to serve as
the entity to assist with securing the approval of the site plans and to obtain
tenants for the facilities.
During the coming twelve months, construction will commence on the facilities.
This construction will involve selective demolition, earthwork, construction of
underground duct and utility structures, construction of sanitary sewerage and
storm drainage and installation of pavement.
At this time, we have sufficient cash to proceed forward with the development
of the real estate until we obtain a construction loan. We anticipate obtaining
a construction loan at the end of the current calendar year or at the beginning
of the next calendar year. We currently anticipate that the principal amount of
the construction loan will be approximately $39,000,000. This construction loan
will provide sufficient funds to proceed with the construction. If a
construction loan is not obtained, we will not be able to continue with the
construction of the facilities.
Based upon the current site plans, there will be approximately 500,000 square
feet of retail and office space. The facilities will be on 36 acres. The
current site plans will include a 120-room hotel, 197,000 square feet of retail
space, 243,000 square feet of office space, a bank and five restaurants. The
current site plans provide more square feet of retail and office space then
originally anticipated in the prospectus which indicated a combined 329,000
square feet of retail and office space. The reconfiguration of the facilities
on the property has allowed for more space to use and to rent.
The construction will continue for an extended time. We anticipate that the
construction of all of the facilities should occur in 2005.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION SYSTEMS DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION FEES
COR Development did not engage MNVC (or any other independent auditors) to
provide advice to COR Development regarding financial information systems design
and implementation during the current fiscal year.
AUDIT FEES
Upon recommendation of the Audit Committee (composed at such time of Messrs.
Frederick Ball, John Scott Harrison and Robert Adams), the Board of Directors
has selected the firm of MNVC, as independent certified public accountants to
examine and report upon the financial statement of COR Development for the
fiscal year ending in 2001. Such selection is subject to the negotiation of a
reasonable fee for services to be rendered by the firm. A representative of
MNVC is expected to be present at the Annual Meeting to respond to appropriate
questions and will have an opportunity to make a statement if he/she so desires.
9
The aggregate fees billed for professional services rendered to COR Development
by its independent accountants MNVC during fiscal year 2000 were as follows:
Fees for Audit of Fiscal 2000 Financial Statement and N/A
for Reviews of Quarterly Financial Statements
Fees for Information Systems Designs and Implementation N/A
Services
Fees for All Other Non-Audit Services $2,480.00
ALL OTHER FEES
Fees billed to COR Development by MNVC during fiscal year 2000 for all other
non-audit services rendered to COR Development, including tax related services,
totaled $2,480.00. In connection with the recently revised standards for
independence of COR Development's independent public accountants promulgated by
the SEC, the Audit Committee has considered whether the provisions of such
services is compatible with maintaining the independence of MNVC.
OTHER MATTERS
COR Development knows of no other matters that will be presented for
consideration at the Annual Meeting. If any other matters properly come before
the annual meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed
form of Proxy to vote the shares they represent as the Managers may recommend.

execution of the enclosed Proxy.
FORM 10-KSB
COR Development did not file an Annual Report for 2000 on Form 10-KSB with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") because no sales of the Common
Units or the Preferred Units were actually consummated in calendar year 2000.
For calendar year 2001 and the years thereafter as required by the SEC, COR
Development will be required to file an Annual Report.
COR Development knows of no other matters that will be presented for
