Parkway Properties, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
March 31, 2004

(1)   Basis of Presentation


       The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Parkway Properties, Inc. ("Parkway" or "the Company") and its subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.


       The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements.


       The accompanying financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented.  All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.  Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2004.  The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual report and the notes thereto.


       The balance sheet at December 31, 2003 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements.

       In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51" ("FIN 46").  FIN 46 requires the consolidation of entities in which a company absorbs a majority of the entity's expected losses, receives a majority of the entity's expected residual returns, or both, as a result of ownership, contractual or other financial interests in the entity. 


       Effective January 1, 2004, Parkway began consolidating its ownership interest in Moore Building Associates LP ("MBALP").  Parkway has less than .1% ownership interest in MBALP and acts as the managing general partner of this partnership.  MBALP was established for the purpose of owning a commercial office building (the Toyota Center in Memphis, Tennessee) and is primarily funded with financing from a third party lender, which is secured by a first lien on the rental property of the partnership.  The creditors of MBALP do not have recourse to Parkway.  In acting as the general partner, Parkway is committed to providing additional funding to meet partnership operating deficits up to an aggregate amount of $1 million. 


       Parkway receives income from MBALP in the form of interest from a construction note receivable, incentive management fees and property management fees.  As a result of the consolidation of MBALP, Parkway has eliminated any intercompany asset, liability, revenue and expense accounts between Parkway and MBALP.


(2)   Reclassifications


       Certain reclassifications have been made in the 2003 consolidated financial statements to conform to the 2004 classifications.


(3)  Supplemental Cash Flow Information


       
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

(4)  Transactions


       On January 29, 2004, the Company purchased Maitland 200, a 206,000 square-foot, four-story office building located in the Maitland Center submarket of Orlando, Florida.  Maitland 200 is 84% occupied and 95% leased and was purchased for $26.3 million plus $1.4 million in closing costs and anticipated capital expenditures and leasing costs during the first two years of ownership.  The purchase was funded with the Company's existing lines of credit and represents the reinvestment of proceeds from the sale of properties through joint ventures in 2003.  Maitland 200 was constructed in 1984 and includes 885 surface parking spaces on 10.27 acres.


       On February 6, 2004, the Company closed a new three-year $170,000,000 line of credit led by Wachovia Bank and syndicated to ten other banks. The interest rate on the line is equal to the 30-day LIBOR rate plus 100 to 132.5 basis points (currently 117.5 basis points), depending upon overall Company leverage.  The new line replaces the line of credit with JP Morgan Chase Bank in the amount of $135,000,000, which was scheduled to mature June 2004. The new line with Wachovia affords the Company greater financial flexibility at a lower interest cost.


       Effective February 24, 2004, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $60 million.  The interest rate swap agreement fixed the 30-day LIBOR interest rate at 1.293%, which equates to a current interest rate of 2.468%.  The agreement matures December 31, 2004.


(5)  Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures


       As of March 31, 2004, the Company is invested in four joint ventures.  As required by generally accepted accounting principles, these joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method of accounting, as Parkway has significant influence over, but does not control any of these joint ventures and is not the primary beneficiary.  As a result, the assets and liabilities of the joint ventures are not included on Parkway's consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2004.  Information relating to the unconsolidated joint ventures is detailed below (in thousands).

       The Company also accounts for restricted stock in accordance with APB No. 25 and accordingly, compensation expense is recognized over the expected vesting period.  At the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held May 8, 2003, shareholders approved the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan for officers and employees of the Company.  Under the Plan, 142,000 restricted shares of common stock have been granted to officers of the Company.  Beginning in 2003, Parkway replaced the grant of stock options with the grant of restricted shares or share equivalents to employees and officers of the Company.  Accordingly, 5,246 deferred incentive share units were granted to employees of the Company in 2003 in lieu of a similar value of stock options.  Compensation expense related to the restricted stock and deferred incentive shares units of $197,000 was recognized for the three months ending March 31, 2004.


 (8)   Subsequent Events


       On April 2, 2004, the Company purchased Capital City Plaza, a 410,000 square-foot, 17-story Class A office building in the Buckhead submarket of Atlanta, Georgia.  The acquisition also includes an adjoining five-story parking garage containing 726 spaces, a surface parking lot containing 81 parking spaces and rights to an adjacent lot containing 349 parking spaces.  The property is currently 92% leased and was acquired for $76.3 million plus $2.3 million in closing costs and anticipated capital expenditures and leasing costs during the first two years of ownership.  The purchase was funded with the Company's existing lines of credit, assumption of an existing non-recourse first mortgage of approximately $44 million and the issuance of $15.5 million in preferred membership interests to the seller.  The mortgage matures in August 2008 and bears interest at 6.75%.  In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the mortgage will be recorded at approximately $49 million to reflect the fair value of the financial instrument based on the rate of 3.7% on the date of purchase.  The preferred membership interests pay the seller a 7% coupon rate and were issued to accommodate their tax planning needs.  The seller has the right to redeem $5.5 million of the membership interests within six months of closing and $10 million of the membership interests within nine months of closing.  Parkway has the right to retire the preferred interest 40 months after closing.


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


Overview


       Parkway is a self-administered and self-managed REIT specializing in the acquisition, operations and leasing of office properties.  The Company is geographically focused on the Southeastern and Southwestern United States and Chicago.  As of April 30, 2004 Parkway owned or had an interest in 61 office properties located in eleven states with an aggregate of approximately 11.3 million square feet of leasable space.  The Company generates revenue primarily by leasing office space to its customers and providing management and leasing services to third-party office property owners (including joint venture interests).  The primary drivers behind Parkway's revenues are occupancy, rental rates and customer retention. 


       Occupancy.  Parkway's revenues are dependent on the occupancy of its office buildings.  As a result of job losses and oversupply of office properties in some markets, vacancy rates have increased nationally and in Parkway's markets.  The office sector currently is experiencing the highest vacancies in a decade.  As of April 1, 2004, occupancy of Parkway's office portfolio was 88.4% compared to 87.9% as of January 1, 2004 and 92.1% as of April 1, 2003.  Not included in the April 1, 2004 occupancy rate are 41 signed leases totaling 255,000 square feet, which commence during the second through third quarters of 2004, and Capital City Plaza occupied square footage of 378,000.  After adjusting for the additional leasing and Capital City Plaza occupancy, Parkway's percentage leased is raised to 90.8%.  To combat rising vacancy, Parkway utilizes innovative approaches to produce new leases.  These include the Broker Bill of Rights, a short-form lease and customer advocacy programs which are models in the industry and have helped the Company maintain occupancy around 90% during a time when the national occupancy rate is approximately 83%.  Parkway projects occupancy ranging from 87% to 91% in 2004 for its office properties.


       Rental Rates.  An increase in vacancy rates has the effect of reducing market rental rates.  Parkway's leases typically have three to seven year terms.  As leases expire, the Company replaces the existing leases with new leases at the current market rental rate, which, in today's economy, is often lower than the existing lease rate.  Customer retention is increasingly important in controlling costs and preserving revenue. 


       Customer Retention.  Keeping our existing customers is important as high customer retention leads to increased occupancy, less downtime between leases, and reduced tenant improvement and leasing costs.  Parkway estimates



that it costs six times more to replace an existing customer with a new one.  This ratio represents the sum of downtime on the space plus leasing costs, which rise as market vacancies increase.  Therefore, Parkway focuses a great deal of energy on customer retention.  Parkway's operating philosophy is based on the premise that we are in the customer retention business.  Parkway seeks to retain its customers by continually focusing on operations at its office properties.  The Company believes in providing superior customer service; hiring, training, retaining and empowering each employee; and creating an environment of open communication both internally and externally with our customers and our stockholders.  Over the past seven years, Parkway maintained an approximate 75% customer retention rate.  Parkway's customer retention for the three months ending March 31, 2004 was 69.1% compared to 48.4% for the quarter ending December 31, 2003 and 70.5% for the quarter ending March 31, 2003.


       In 2003, customer retention was below the Company's historical average primarily as a result of the loss of two major customers effective December 31, 2003:  Burlington Industries, which occupied 137,000 square feet at 400 North Belt in Houston, Texas and Skytel, a subsidiary of MCI/WorldCom, Inc. ("WorldCom"), which occupied 156,000 square feet at the Skytel Centre in Jackson, Mississippi.   The Company received approximately $2,314,000 annually in total revenue ($1,300,000 after expenses) from Burlington and $2,500,000 annually in total revenue ($1,800,000 after expenses) from WorldCom.  Due to the loss of these two major customers, we anticipate that 2004 income from office and parking properties will decrease until such time as the vacant space can be leased.


       During the first quarter of 2004, the Company signed four leases for 66,000 square feet within the former Burlington space at 400 North Belt.  Also during the first quarter of 2004, the Company announced the renaming of the Skytel Centre to City Centre, the signing of leases which raise the City Centre building occupancy to approximately 92% and the development of a $6.5 million, 500-space parking facility to accommodate building customers.  The largest lease at City Centre was signed with Forman Perry Watkins Krutz & Tardy LLP for 145,000 square feet, commencing upon completion of the improvements to the space in the third quarter of 2004.  Forman Perry will occupy the space through December 31, 2011, subject to certain termination rights beginning July 31, 2008.  The firm is consolidating employees from two buildings in Jackson and will vacate approximately 70,000 square feet in One Jackson Place, another Parkway-owned asset.  The other large new customers at City Centre include Entergy Mississippi, Inc. and Ross & Yerger, which leased 19,500 and 14,500 square feet, respectively.


       Strategic Planning.  For many years, Parkway has been engaged in a process of strategic planning and goal setting.  The material goals and objectives of Parkway's earlier strategic plans have been achieved, and benefited Parkway's stockholders through increased FFO and dividend payments per share.  Effective January 1, 2003, the Company adopted a three-year strategic plan referred to as Value2 (Value Square).  This plan reflects the employees' commitment to create value for its shareholders while holding firm to the core values as espoused in the Parkway Commitment to Excellence.  The Company plans to create value by Venturing with best partners, Asset recycling, Leverage neutral growth, Uncompromising focus on operations and providing an Equity return to its shareholders that is 10% greater than that of its peer group, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") office index.  Equity return is defined as growth in funds from operations ("FFO") per diluted share.


       The highlights of 2003 and 2004 reflect the strategy set forth in Value2 as described below:

 

 


 

 


Financial Condition


Comments are for the balance sheet dated March 31, 2004 compared to the balance sheet dated December 31, 2003


       Office and Parking Properties.  In 2004, Parkway continued the application of its strategy of operating and acquiring office properties, joint venturing interests in office assets, as well as liquidating non-core assets and office assets that no longer meet the Company's investment criteria and/or the Company has determined value will be maximized by selling.  During the three months ending March 31, 2004, total assets increased $39,930,000 and office properties (before depreciation) increased $56,760,000 or 6.7%.


Purchases and Improvements


       Parkway's direct investment in office and parking properties increased $47,815,000 net of depreciation to a carrying amount of $776,510,000 at March 31, 2004, and consisted of 56 office and parking properties.  The primary reason for the increase in office and parking properties relates to the purchase of an office property and the consolidation of MBALP as required under FIN 46.  The impact of the consolidation of MBALP on Parkway's investment in office and parking properties was an increase of $24,184,000.


       On January 29, 2004, the Company purchased Maitland 200, a 206,000 square-foot, four-story office building located in the Maitland Center submarket of Orlando, Florida.  Maitland 200 is 84% leased and was purchased for $26.3 million plus $1.4 million in closing costs and anticipated capital expenditures and leasing costs during the first two years of ownership.  The purchase was funded with the Company's existing lines of credit and represents the reinvestment of proceeds from the sale of properties through joint ventures in 2003.  Maitland 200 was constructed in 1984 and includes 885 surface parking spaces on 10.27 acres.


       During the three months ending March 31, 2004, the Company also capitalized building improvements and additional purchase expenses of $3,696,000 and recorded depreciation expense of $6,823,000 related to its operating property portfolio.


       Note Receivable from Moore Building Associates LP.  In accordance with FIN 46, Parkway began consolidating MBALP effective January 1, 2004.  Accordingly, the note receivable from MBALP reported in the financial statements at December 31, 2003 in the amount of $5,926,000 has been eliminated in consolidation at March 31, 2004. 


       Mortgage Loans.  During the three months ending March 31, 2004, the mortgage loan secured by a retail center was paid in full.  A gain of $774,000 was recognized on the note receivable during the first quarter of 2004 as the note was fully reserved.  This was the only outstanding mortgage loan held by Parkway.


       Interest, Rents Receivable and Other Assets.  Interest, rents receivable and other assets decreased $2,296,000 for the three months ending March 31, 2004.  The decrease is primarily attributable to a $1.5 million decrease in intangible assets related to a purchase price allocation adjustment for office property purchases.  The decrease in intangible assets represents the adjustment of total purchase price allocated to the value of in-place leases.  Parkway accounts for its acquisitions of real estate in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations," which requires the fair value of the real estate acquired to be allocated to acquired tangible and intangible assets.



       Notes Payable to Banks.  Notes payable to banks increased $40,814,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2004.  At March 31, 2004, notes payable to banks totaled $150,889,000 and the increase is primarily attributable to advances under bank lines of credit to purchase additional properties and make improvements to office properties.


       Mortgage Notes Payable Without Recourse.  During the three months ended March 31, 2004, mortgage notes payable without recourse increased $4,194,000 or 1.7%.  The increase is due to the following factors (in thousands):

       The Company expects to continue seeking fixed rate, non-recourse mortgage financing at terms ranging from five to ten years typically amortizing over 25 to 30 years on select office building investments as additional capital is needed.  The Company targets a debt to total market capitalization rate at a percentage in the mid-40's.  This rate may vary at times pending acquisitions, sales and/or equity offerings.  In addition, volatility in the price of the Company's common stock may affect the debt to total market capitalization ratio.  However, over time the Company plans to maintain a percentage in the mid-40's.  In addition to this debt ratio, the Company monitors interest and fixed charge coverage ratios.  The interest coverage ratio is computed by comparing the cash interest accrued to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA").    The fixed charge coverage ratio is computed by comparing the cash interest accrued, principal payments made on mortgage loans and preferred dividends paid to EBITDA.




       The computation of the interest and fixed charge coverage ratios and the reconciliation of net income to EBITDA is as follows for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 (in thousands):

       (1)  EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, means operating income before mortgage and other interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization.  We believe that EBITDA is useful to investors and Parkway's management as an indication of the Company's ability to service debt and pay cash distributions.  EBITDA, as calculated by us, is not comparable to EBITDA reported by other REITs that do not define EBITDA exactly as we do.  EBITDA does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and should not be considered an alternative to operating income or net income as an indicator of performance or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as an indicator of liquidity.


       Accounts Payable and Other Liabilities.  Accounts payable and other liabilities decreased $8,615,000 primarily due to the payment of 2003 property taxes and other 2003 accrued liabilities.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Comments are for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2003.


       Net income available for common stockholders for the three months ended March 31, 2004, was $4,121,000 ($.38 per basic common share) as compared to $6,100,000 ($.65 per basic common share) for the three months ended March 31, 2003.  Net income included a gain on a note receivable in the amount of $774,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004.  Net income included a gain from the sale of a joint venture interest in the amount of $1,096,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2003.


       Office and Parking Properties.  The primary reason for the change in the Company's net income from office and parking properties for 2004 as compared to 2003 is the net effect of the operations of the following properties purchased, property sold and joint venture interests sold (in thousands):

       Interest on Note Receivable from Moore Building Associates LP and Incentive Management Fee Income from Moore Building Associates LP. In accordance with FIN 46, Parkway began consolidating MBALP effective January 1, 2004.  Due to the consolidation, the intercompany revenue and expense from MBALP was eliminated from the financial statements.  Therefore, interest income and incentive management fee income from MBALP for the three months ending March 31, 2004 has been eliminated in consolidation.


       Interest Expense.  The $845,000 increase in interest expense on office properties for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003 is due to the net effect of the early extinguishment of two mortgages in 2004 and two mortgages in 2003, new loans placed or assumed in 2003 and the impact of consolidating MBALP.  The average interest rate on mortgage notes payable as of March 31, 2004  and 2003 was 6.9%.


       Interest expense on bank notes decreased $260,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003.  The change is primarily due to the decrease in the weighted average interest rate on bank lines of credit from 3.1% during the three months ended March 31, 2003 to 2.4 % during the same period in 2004. 


       Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Joint Ventures.  Equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures increased $312,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003.  The increase is attributable to the formation of the Viad Joint Venture and the Jackson Joint Venture in 2003.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


Statement of Cash Flows


       Cash and cash equivalents were $1,681,000 and $468,000 at March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively.  Cash flows provided by operating activities were $6,222,000 compared to $6,983,000 for the same period of 2003.  The change in cash flows from operating activities is primarily attributable to the decrease in net income and timing of receipt of revenues and payment of expenses.


       Cash used in investing activities was $29,621,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to cash provided by investing activities of $36,185,000 for the same period of 2003.  The decrease in cash used in investing activities of $65,806,000 is primarily due to increased office property purchases in 2004 of $13,806,000 and the proceeds received on the sale of a joint venture interest in 2003 of $54,311,000.


       Cash provided by financing activities was $23,849,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to cash used by financing activities of $42,604,000 for the same period of 2003.  The increase in cash provided by financing activities of $66,453,000 is due to the net effect of increased principal payments on mortgage notes payable of $6,940,000 in 2004, offset by additional bank borrowings of $40,774,000 in 2004 to fund office property purchases compared to a reduction in bank borrowings for the same period of 2003 of $55,687,000 principally from the proceeds from the sale of a joint venture interest and a stock offering.


Liquidity


       The Company plans to continue pursuing the acquisition of additional investments that meet the Company's investment criteria and intends to use bank lines of credit, proceeds from the sale of non-core assets and office properties, proceeds from the sale of portions of owned assets through joint ventures, possible sales of securities and



cash balances to fund those acquisitions.  At March 31, 2004, the Company had $150,889,000 outstanding under two bank lines of credit.


       The Company's cash flows are exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of its lines of credit used to maintain liquidity and fund capital expenditures and expansion of the Company's real estate investment portfolio and operations.  The Company's interest rate risk management objective is to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower its overall borrowing costs.  To achieve its objectives, the Company borrows at fixed rates, but also utilizes a three-year unsecured revolving credit facility and a one-year unsecured line of credit.


       On February 6, 2004, Parkway entered into a Credit Agreement with a consortium of 11 banks with Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC as Sole Lead Arranger and Sole Book Runner, Wachovia Bank, National Association as Administrative Agent, PNC Bank, National Association as Syndication Agent, and other banks as participants.  The Credit Agreement provides for a three-year $170 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the "$170 million line").  The $170 million line replaces the previous $135 million unsecured revolving credit facility and the $20 million term loan with JP Morgan Chase Bank.  The interest rate on the $170 million line is equal to the 30-day LIBOR rate plus 100 to 132.5 basis points, depending upon overall Company leverage (with the current rate set at 117.5 basis points).  The interest rate on the $170 million line was 2.4% at March 31, 2004.


       The $170 million line matures February 6, 2007 and allows for a one-year extension option available at maturity.  The line is expected to fund acquisitions of additional investments.  The Company paid a facility fee of $170,000 (10 basis points) and origination fees of $556,000 (32.71 basis points) upon closing of the loan agreement and pays an annual administration fee of $35,000.  The Company also pays fees on the unused portion of the line based upon overall Company leverage, with the current rate set at 12.5 basis points.


       On February 6, 2004, Parkway amended and renewed the one-year $15 million unsecured line of credit with PNC Bank (the "$15 million line").  This line of credit matures February 4, 2005, is unsecured and is expected to fund the daily cash requirements of the Company's treasury management system.  The interest rate on the $15 million line is equal to the 30-day LIBOR rate plus 100 to 132.5 basis points, depending upon overall Company leverage (with the current rate set at 117.5 basis points).  The interest rate on the $15 million line was 2.3% at March 31, 2004.  The Company paid a facility fee of $15,000 (10 basis points) upon closing of the loan agreement.  Under the $15 million line, the Company does not pay annual administration fees or fees on the unused portion of the line.

       Effective February 24, 2004, the Company entered into a $60 million interest rate swap agreement with  Union Planters Bank effectively locking the LIBOR rate on this portion of outstanding unsecured, floating rate bank debt at 1.293%, which equates to a current interest rate of 2.468%.  The agreement matures December 31, 2004. The Company designated the swap as a hedge of the variable interest rates on the Company's borrowings under the $170 million line.  Accordingly, changes in the fair value of the swap are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings.


       The effect of the reverse swap is to convert a fixed rate mortgage note payable to a variable rate.  The Company does not hold or issue these types of derivative contracts for trading or speculative purposes.


       At March 31, 2004, the Company had $251,384,000 of non-recourse fixed rate mortgage notes payable with an average interest rate of 6.9% secured by office properties and $150,889,000 drawn under bank lines of credit. Parkway's pro rata share of unconsolidated joint venture debt was $45,748,000 with an average interest rate of 6.4% at March 31, 2004.  Based on the Company's total market capitalization of approximately $1,070,817,000 at March 31, 2004 (using the March 31, 2004 closing price of $46.75 per common share), the Company's debt represented approximately 40.6% of its total market capitalization.  The Company targets a debt to total market capitalization rate at a percentage in the mid-40's.  This rate may vary at times pending


acquisitions, sales and/or equity offerings.  In addition, volatility in the price of the Company's common stock may affect the debt to total market capitalization ratio.  However, over time the Company plans to maintain a percentage in the mid-40's.  In addition to this debt ratio, the Company monitors interest and fixed charge coverage ratios.  The interest coverage ratio is computed by comparing the cash interest accrued to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.  This ratio for the three months ending March 31, 2004 and 2003 was 3.59 and 3.89 times, respectively.  The fixed charge coverage ratio is computed by comparing the cash interest accrued, principal payments made on mortgage loans and preferred dividends paid to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.  This ratio for the three months ending March 31, 2004 and 2003 was 1.81 and 1.88 times, respectively.

*Remaining nine months


       The Company presently has plans to make additional capital improvements at its office properties in 2004 of approximately $29 million.  These expenses include tenant improvements, capitalized acquisition costs and capitalized building improvements.  Approximately $5 million of these improvements relate to upgrades on properties acquired in recent years that were anticipated at the time of purchase.  All such improvements are expected to be financed by cash flow from the properties and advances on the bank lines of credit.


       During the first quarter of 2004, the Company signed a lease at City Centre in Jackson, Mississippi with Forman Perry Watkins Krutz & Tardy LLP for 145,000 square feet, commencing upon completion of $3.2 million in improvements to the space in the third quarter of 2004. Additionally, Parkway committed to the development of a $6.5 million, 500-space parking facility to accommodate the building customers at City Centre.  Parkway anticipates utilizing its current cash balance, operating cash flows and borrowings under the working capital line of credit to fund the $3.2 million in improvements.  The construction of the garage will be financed with a construction loan, which will bear interest at a rate equal to the 30-day LIBOR rate plus 125 basis points.


       The Company anticipates that its current cash balance, operating cash flows, proceeds from the sale of office properties, proceeds from the sale of portions of owned assets through joint ventures, possible sales of securities and borrowings (including borrowings under the working capital line of credit) will be adequate to pay the Company's (i) operating and administrative expenses, (ii) debt service obligations, (iii) distributions to shareholders, (iv) capital improvements, and (v) normal repair and maintenance expenses at its properties both in the short and long term.


Funds From Operations


       Management believes that funds from operations ("FFO") is an appropriate measure of performance for equity REITs and computes this measure in accordance with the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts' ("NAREIT") definition of FFO.  FFO as reported by Parkway may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition.  We believe FFO is helpful to investors as a supplemental measure that enhances the comparability of our operations by adjusting net income for items not reflective of our principal and recurring operations.  In addition, FFO has widespread acceptance and use within the REIT and analyst communities.  Funds from operations is defined by NAREIT as net income (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles "GAAP"), excluding gains or losses from sales of property and extraordinary items under GAAP, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.  Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures will be calculated to reflect funds from operations on the same basis.  We believe that in order


to facilitate a clear understanding of our operating results, FFO should be examined in conjunction with the net income as presented in our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Form 10‑Q.  Funds from operations do not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and is not an indication of cash available to fund cash needs.  Funds from operations should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indicator of the Company's operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity.


       The following table presents a reconciliation of the Company's net income to FFO for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 (in thousands):

Inflation


       In the last five years, inflation has not had a significant impact on the Company because of the relatively low inflation rate in the Company's geographic areas of operation.  Most of the leases require the tenants to pay their pro rata share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance, thereby reducing the Company's exposure to increases in operating expenses resulting from inflation.  In addition, the Company's leases typically have three to seven-year terms, which may enable the Company to replace existing leases with new leases at market base rent, which may be higher or lower than the existing lease rate.


Forward-Looking Statements


       In addition to historical information, certain sections of this Form 10-Q may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, such as those that are not in the present or past tense, that discuss the Company's beliefs, expectations or intentions or those pertaining to the Company's capital resources, profitability and portfolio performance and estimates of market rental rates.  Forward-looking statements involve numerous risks and uncertainties.  The following factors, among others discussed herein and in the Company's filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, could cause actual results and future events to differ materially from those set forth or contemplated in the forward-looking statements:  defaults or non-renewal of leases, increased interest rates and operating costs, failure to obtain necessary outside financing, difficulties in identifying properties to acquire and in effecting acquisitions, failure to qualify as a real estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, environmental uncertainties, risks related to natural disasters, financial market fluctuations, changes in real estate and zoning laws and increases in real property tax rates.  The success of the Company also depends upon the trends of the economy, including interest rates, income tax laws, governmental regulation, legislation, population changes and those risk factors discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and in the Company's filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which reflect management's analysis only as the date hereof.  The Company assumes no obligation to update forward-looking statements.
