PART I

Item 1. Business.

General

Parkway Properties, Inc. ("Parkway" or the "Company") is a
self-administered, self-managed real estate investment trust
("REIT") specializing in the acquisition, ownership, management,
financing and leasing of office properties in the Southeastern
United States and Texas. Parkway and its predecessors have been
public companies engaged in the real estate business since 1971,
and have successfully operated and grown through several major
real estate cycles. At March 25, 1998, Parkway owned or had an
interest in 46 office properties located in twelve states with an
aggregate of approximately 6.3 million square feet of leasable
space.

The purchase of the Mtel Centre in Jackson, Mississippi in
July 1995 marked the implementation of the Company's business
strategy of focused investment in office properties. As part of
this strategy, the Company has (i) completed the acquisition of
42 office properties, encompassing approximately 5.9 million net
rentable square feet, for a total investment of more than $517.3
million; and (ii) sold or is in the process of selling all of its
non-office assets. Total investment is defined as purchase price
plus estimated closing costs and anticipated capital expenditures
during the first 12 to 24 months of ownership for tenant
improvements, commissions, upgrades and capital improvements to
bring the building up to the Company's standards.

In addition to direct real estate acquisitions, Parkway's
investment strategy has also historically included the
consummation of business combination transactions with other
public real estate and financial companies which Parkway deemed
to be undervalued. Since 1979, Parkway has completed eight such
business combinations. Management may pursue similar business
combination transactions on a selected basis in order to enhance
stockholder value.

Since January 1997, the capital structure of Parkway has
changed substantially.

Effective January 1, 1997, the Company elected to be
taxed as a real estate investment trust under the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986 ("Code"), as amended.

On January 22, 1997, the Company completed the sale of
1,750,000 shares of common stock in a public offering.
Effective February 19, 1997, the Underwriters in this
offering exercised the over-allotment option and
purchased an additional 262,500 shares. Net proceeds to
the Company of these sales were approximately
$51,221,000.

On September 24, 1997, the Company completed the sale
of 3,000,000 shares of common stock in a public
offering. Effective October 6, 1997, the Underwriters
in this offering exercised the over-allotment option
and purchased an additional 450,000 shares. Net
proceeds to the Company of these sales were
approximately $109,440,000.

On February 23, 1998, the Company completed the sale of
451,128 shares of common stock to a unit investment
trust with net proceeds to the Company of $14,231,000.

On March 11, 1998, the Company completed the sale of
common stock through the direct placement of 855,900
shares of common stock to institutional investors with
net proceeds to the Company of $26,948,000.

The Company completed its reorganization into the
UPREIT (Umbrella Partnership REIT) structure effective
January 1, 1998. The Company anticipates that the
UPREIT structure will enable it to pursue additional
investment opportunities by having the ability to offer
tax-advantaged operating partnership units to property
owners in exchange for properties.

Parkway has managed its properties in Jackson since 1990 and
expanded its self-management, effective January 1, 1998, to
office properties that it owns in Houston, Atlanta, Dallas,
Charlotte, Winston-Salem, Columbia, Knoxville and Memphis. As
such, Parkway self-manages in excess of 80% of its current
portfolio on a net rentable square footage basis. The Company
benefits from a fully integrated management infrastructure,
provided by its wholly-owned management subsidiary, Parkway
Realty Services LLC ("Parkway Realty"). In addition to its owned
properties, Parkway Realty currently manages and/or leases
approximately one million net rentable square feet for third
parties. The Company is in the process of significantly
expanding its management efforts through plans to expand the self-
management of its properties to all markets as its presence in
those markets reaches the minimum net rentable square footage
necessary to make it cost efficient to self-manage. The Company
believes self-management will result in higher tenant retention
and will allow the Company to enhance stockholder value through
the application of its hands-on management style.

Until December 31, 1996, Parkway operated as a real estate
operating company. For the taxable years 1996 and 1995, Parkway
paid virtually no federal income taxes ($64,000 in 1995 and none
in 1996) primarily because Parkway had certain net operating
losses ("NOLs") to shelter most of Parkway's income from such
taxes. However, the increase in the number of outstanding common
shares, which resulted from the completion of a private placement
of common shares in June 1996 and Parkway's mergers during 1994
and 1995, caused the use of Parkway's NOLs to be significantly
limited in any one year. Accordingly, Parkway's board of
directors determined that it was in the best interests of Parkway
and its stockholders to elect to qualify Parkway as a REIT under
the Code for the taxable year beginning January 1, 1997, which
allows Parkway to be generally exempt from federal income taxes
even if its NOLs are limited or exhausted, provided it meets
various REIT requirements.

Business Objectives and Strategy of the Company

Parkway's business objective is to maximize total return to
stockholders over time primarily through increases in
distributions and share price appreciation. During 1997, Parkway
distributed $1.20 per share in dividends to shareholders which
represents a 93.5% increase over the 1996 dividends distributed
of $.62 per share. Distributions in 1997 of $1.20 per share
represent a payout of 48.4% of the Company's funds from
operations ("FFO") for the year. The Company anticipates that
its dividend payout ratio will continue to approximate 50% of its
FFO, subject to compliance with the REIT distribution
requirements. See Item 7. "Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operation" for discussion
of FFO.

Parkway generally seeks to acquire well-located Class A, A-
or B+ (as classified within their respective markets) multi-story
office buildings which are located in primary or secondary
markets in the Southeastern United States and Texas, ranging in
size from 50,000 to 500,000 net rentable square feet and which
have current and projected occupancy levels in excess of 70% and
adequate parking to accommodate full occupancy. The Company
targets buildings which are occupied by a major tenant (or
tenants) (e.g., a tenant that accounts for at least 30% of the
building's total rental revenue and has at least five years
remaining on its lease). Parkway strives to purchase office
buildings at initial unleveraged yields on its total investment
in the range of 9% to 11% per annum. The Company defines initial
unleveraged yield as net operating income divided by total
investment (as previously defined), where net operating income
represents budgeted cash operating income for the current year at
current occupancy rates and at rental rates currently in place
with no adjustments for anticipated expense savings, increases in
rental rates, additional leasing or straight line rent. Leases
that expire during the year are assumed to renew at market rates
unless interviews with tenants during pre-purchase due diligence
indicate a likelihood that a tenant will not renew. In markets
where the Company self-manages its properties, NOI also includes
the net management fee expected to be earned during the year.
The Company also generally seeks to acquire properties whose
total investment per net rentable square foot is at least 25%
below estimated replacement cost and whose current rental rates
are at or below market rental rates. While the Company seeks to
acquire properties which meet all of the acquisition criteria,
specific property acquisitions are evaluated individually and may
fail to meet one or more of the acquisition criteria at the date
of purchase. Since January 1, 1997, the Company has acquired 30
office properties aggregating approximately 4.3 million net
rentable square feet for a total investment of approximately
$412.6 million, or approximately $96 per net rentable square
foot.

Parkway believes that its focus on its existing and targeted
high growth markets in the Southeastern United States and Texas
should provide further opportunities to enhance stockholder
value. Parkway is presently focusing its resources on
acquisitions in both its existing markets and several additional
markets in the Southeastern United States, including central
business districts and suburban markets. Parkway has targeted
these markets based on positive economic indicators such as
higher than average job growth and strong real estate market
fundamentals such as increasing occupancy levels, strong net
absorption and rising rental rates.

Parkway's management team consists of experienced office
property specialists with proven capabilities in office property
(i) acquisition; (ii) ownership; (iii) management; (iv) leasing;
(v) financing; and (vi) re-positioning. The Company believes
these capabilities will allow Parkway to continue to create
office property value in all phases of the real estate cycle.
Parkway's nine senior officers have an average of over 16 years
of real estate industry experience, and have worked together at
Parkway or its predecessors for an average of over ten years.
Management has developed a highly service-oriented management
culture and believes that its proactive leasing, property
management and asset management activities will result in higher
tenant retention and rental rates and will continue to translate
into enhanced stockholder value.

Dispositions

Since January 1, 1995, Parkway has also pursued a strategy
of liquidating its non-office assets and office building
investments outside its area of geographic focus, and using the
proceeds from such sales to acquire office properties in the
Southeastern United States and Texas. In accordance with this
strategy, since January 1, 1995, Parkway has sold assets with a
book value of approximately $41 million for approximately $62
million, resulting in an aggregate gain for financial reporting
purposes of approximately $21 million. The book value of all
remaining non-office building real estate assets and mortgage
loans, all of which are for sale, was approximately $5.4 million
as of December 31, 1997.

Administration

The Company is self administered and self managed and
maintains its principal executive offices in Jackson,
Mississippi. As of March 25, 1998, the Company had 120
employees.

The operations of the Company are conducted from
approximately 8,000 square feet of office space located at 188
East Capitol Street, One Jackson Place Suite 1000, Jackson,
Mississippi. The building is owned by Parkway and is leased by
Parkway at market rental rates. The Company maintains a website
at www.parkwayco.com.

Item 2. Properties.

General

The Company invests principally in office buildings in the
Southeastern United States and Texas, but is not limited to any
specific geographical region or property type. Including office
building acquisitions made through March 25, 1998, the Company
has 46 office buildings comprising approximately 6.3 million
square feet of office space located in twelve states.

Property acquisitions in 1997, 1996 and 1995 were funded
through a variety of sources, including:

Cash reserves and cash generated from operating
activities,

Sales of non-core assets, including real estate, mortgage
loans and securities,

Fixed rate, non-recourse mortgage financing at fully-
amortizing terms ranging from 12 to 15 years,

Assumption of existing fixed rate, non-recourse mortgages
on properties purchased,

Sales of Parkway common stock, and

Advances on bank lines of credit.



Office Buildings

The Company intends to hold its portfolio of office
buildings for investment purposes. The Company does not propose
any program for the renovation, improvement or development of any
of the office buildings, except as called for under the renewal
of existing leases or the signing of new leases or improvements
necessary to upgrade recent acquisitions to the Company's
operating standards. All such improvements are expected to be
financed by cash flow from the portfolio of office properties and
advances on bank lines of credit.

In the opinion of management, all properties are adequately
covered by insurance.

All office building investments compete for tenants with
similar properties located within the same market primarily on
the basis of location, rent charged, services provided and the
design and condition of the improvements. The Company also
competes with other REITs, financial institutions, pension funds,
partnerships, individual investors and others when attempting to
acquire office properties.

Non-Core Assets

Since January 1, 1995, Parkway has pursued a strategy of
liquidating its non-core assets and using the proceeds from such
sales to acquire office properties. The Company defines non-core
assets as all assets other than office properties which at
December 31, 1997 consisted of land, mortgage loans and other
real estate properties. In accordance with this strategy,
Parkway sold non-core assets with a book value of approximately
$23,135,000 for cash proceeds of approximately $37,147,000 during
1997 and 1996. Aggregate gains for financial reporting purposes
from sales, write-downs and deferred gains recognized on non-core
assets during 1997 and 1996 were $13,365,000. The book value of
all remaining non-office building real estate assets and mortgag
loans, all of which are for sale, was approximately $5,426,000 as
of December 31, 1997. Of this amount, $4,309,000 represents
undeveloped land with a carrying cost of approximately $50,000
annually.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

The Company and its subsidiaries are, from time to time,
parties to litigation arising from the ordinary course of their
business. Management of Parkway does not believe that any such
litigation will materially effect the financial position or
operations of Parkway.


Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

None.

Financial Condition

Comments are for the balance sheet dated December 31, 1997
compared to the balance sheet dated December 31, 1996.

In 1997, Parkway continued the application of its strategy
of aggressively acquiring office properties and liquidating non-
core assets. During the year ended December 31, 1997, the
Company purchased 16 office properties, sold one office property
located outside its geographical area of focus, and sold five non-
core assets. Total assets increased $221,557,000 and office
properties (before depreciation) increased $229,765,000 or 174%.

Parkway's direct investment in office buildings and land
held for development increased $226,850,000 net of depreciation
to a carrying amount of $349,652,000 at December 31, 1997 and
consisted of 31 properties. During the year ending December 31,
1997, Parkway purchased 16 office properties as follows (in

(a)The Company assumed a $6,910,000 first mortgage with an
8.08% interest rate as part of the purchase.

(b)The Company assumed at $7,958,000 first mortgage with an
8.125% interest rate as part of the purchase.

In connection with the Charlotte Park Executive Center
purchase, the Company also purchased 17.64 acres of development
land in the same office park for $1,721,000. The Company
currently has no plans to begin development on the site.

Effective June 1, 1997, the Company increased its ownership
to 100% in the One Jackson Place office building. The 21.875%
minority interest was purchased for $1,272,000 cash and
assumption of the 21.875% pro rata share of the outstanding first
mortgage.

On June 1, 1997, the Company sold its investment in the
Cascade III office building in Columbus, Ohio and recognized a
loss of $6,000 for financial reporting purposes with net proceeds
from the sale of $1,424,000. With Parkway's primary focus in
office investments centered in the Southeastern United States and
Texas, the decision was made to sell Cascade III due to its
location.

During the year ending December 31, 1997, the Company
capitalized building improvements and additional purchase
expenses of $5,122,000 and recorded depreciation expense of
$4,874,000 related to its office property portfolio.

Parkway sold five non-core assets during the year that
resulted in gains for financial reporting purposes of $3,317,000
and net proceeds of $7,906,000. The non-core assets sold were
162 acres of land in Katy, Texas, a 180-unit apartment complex in
Winter Park, Florida, 20 acres of land in New Orleans, LA, the
Plantation Village Retail Center in Lake Jackson, TX and the
remaining assets owned by Golf Properties, Inc. In addition,
land held for sale decreased due to a write-down of $500,000
taken to reflect current market prices, as evidenced by a signed
contract with a third-party purchaser. At December 31, 1997, non-
core assets other than mortgage loans totaled $4,309,000. The
Company expects to continue its efforts to liquidate these
assets.

Notes payable to banks increased $6,473,000 as a result of
borrowings of $149,773,000 and payments of $143,300,000 under
bank lines of credit.

Mortgage notes payable increased $42,392,000 which includes
the placement of $30,000,000 of non-recourse mortgage loans and
scheduled principal payments of $2,475,000 made during the year
on existing notes payable without recourse. On November 12, 1997
the Company received funds totaling $15,000,000 from the
placement of non-recourse mortgage financing on an office
property located in Winston Salem, North Carolina. The loan is
fully amortizing over a 15-year period at a rate of 7.3%. On
December 15, 1997, the Company received funds totaling
$15,000,000 from the placement of non-recourse mortgage financing
on an office property located in Knoxville, Tennessee. The loan
is fully amortizing over a 15-year period at a rate of 7.17%.
The Company expects to continue seeking fixed rate, non-recourse
mortgage financing at terms ranging from ten to fifteen years on
select office building investments as additional capital is
needed. The Company plans to maintain a ratio of debt to total
market capitalization from 25% to 40% but anticipates that this
ratio may exceed 40% for some period of time following the
purchase of an asset pending the permanent financing of the
purchase with equity and/or long term, fixed rate debt.

Stockholders' equity increased $166,833,000 during the year
ended December 31, 1997 as a result of the following factors (in
thousands):

On January 22, 1997, the Company completed the sale of
1,750,000 shares of common stock at $27.00 per share under its
existing shelf registration in a public offering. Effective
February 19, 1997, the Underwriters in this offering exercised
the over-allotment option and purchased an additional 262,500
shares. Net proceeds to the Company of these sales were
$51,221,000.

On September 24, 1997, the Company completed the sale of
3,000,000 shares of common stock at $33.6875 per share under its
existing shelf registration in a public offering. Effective
October 6, 1996, the Underwriters in this offering exercised the
over-allotment option and purchased an additional 450,000 shares.
Net proceeds to the Company of these sales were $109,440,000.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comments are for the year ended December 31, 1997 compared to the
year ended December 31, 1996.

Net income for the year ended December 31, 1997 was
$14,491,000 ($2.05 per share) as compared to $14,371,000 ($3.92
per share) for the year ended December 31, 1996 and included
$2,907,000 ($.41 per share) in net gains from the sale of non-
core assets. Net income for the year ended December 31, 1996
included $10,458,000 ($2.86 per share) in net gains from the sale
of non-core assets.

The primary reason for the increase in the Company's income
before gains for 1997 as compared to 1996 is the reflection of
the operations of the following office buildings subsequent to
the date of purchase:

The decrease in interest income on mortgage loans is due
primarily to sales of mortgage loans during 1996. In May 1996,
the Company sold 157 mortgage loans. In December 1996, the
Company sold its only wrap mortgage loan with a principal balance
of $16,529,000 and 8.58% interest rate and subsequently repaid
the associated wrap debt on that mortgage loan, accounting for
the decrease in interest expense on wrap mortgages. On December
31, 1997, the Company sold the Plantation Village retail center
for $2,500,000 cash and a note receivable of $900,000 with a 10%
interest rate. The note matures December 31, 2007 and payments
are based on a 15-year amortization with a seven-year call. At
December 31, 1997, the Company's investment in mortage loans
included three mortgage loans totaling $1,117,000 with an average
interest rate of 10%.



Comments are for the year ended December 31, 1996 compared to the
year ended December 31, 1995.

Net income increased to $14,371,000 for the year ended
December 31, 1996 as compared to $11,820,000 for the year ended
December 31, 1995 primarily as a result of significant increases
in income from office buildings to $18,840,000 in 1996 from
$6,918,000 in 1995 net of related expenses of $14,408,000 in 1996
and $6,243,000 in 1995. These increases are reflective of
increases in the Company's office building portfolio due to
acquisitions made during 1996 and 1995. The portfolio of office
properties increased from 392,087 square feet at December 31,
1994 to 838,799 square feet at December 31, 1995 and increased
further to 1,973,530 square feet at December 31, 1996. Included
in net income were gains on real estate held for sale, mortgage
loans and securities of $10,458,000 in 1996 and $10,866,000 in
1995, reflecting primarily sales of the Company's non-office
building assets.

The decrease in revenue from other real estate properties
held for sale for the year ended December 31, 1996 compared to
1995 is primarily due to the June 1996 sale of the Oak Creek
Apartments and the August 1995 sale of the American Inn North
Motel. The decrease also reflects sales in 1996 of 21 townhomes
located in Corpus Christi and Houston, Texas, seven residential
lots and approximately 71 acres of land. In 1995, the Company
sold four townhomes in Corpus Christi, Texas, six foreclosed
homes in San Antonio, Texas and various residential lots and
parcels of real estate. These decreases were offset by increases
in revenue and operating expense due to the acquisition of the
minority interest holder's interest in the Club at Winter Park
during 1996 to facilitate the sale of the property.

At December 31, 1996, the Company owned two operating
properties that were held for sale with a carrying value of
$3,675,000. These properties were as follow: 1) Club at Winter
Park, an 180 unit apartment complex located in Winter Park, FL
with a carrying value of $2,183,000 and 2) Plantation Village, a
57,000 square foot retail center located in Lake Jackson, TX with
a carrying value of $1,492,000.

The net increase in interest on mortgage loans during the
year ended December 31, 1996 compared to 1995 reflects many
changes in the investment in mortgage loans over the past two
years. Increases in interest income from mortgages are due to
the loans received in the April 27, 1995 merger with EB, Inc.,
loans made to facilitate sales in 1995 and loans purchased during
1996. Decreases in interest income from mortgage loans are
primarily due to payoffs of loans received in 1995 and the May
1996 sale of 157 mortgage loans. In addition, the Company sold
one mortgage loan in December 1996 with a principal balance of
$16,529,000 and 8.58% interest rate. At December 31, 1996, the
Company's investment in mortgage loans totaled $350,000 and
included 3 loans with an average rate of 10%.

Gains on sales of securities, real estate and mortgage loans
for 1996 were the result of implementing the Company's investment
strategy discussed previously. Cash proceeds from the sale of
securities totaled $2,834,000 and resulted in gains of $549,000.
Gains on real estate and mortgage loans were a result of the sale
of 158 mortgage loans in two separate transactions, gains
recognized on the collection of mortgage loans, writedowns to
land and the sale of other non-core assets. Cash proceeds from
these sales totaled $24,983,000 and net gains recognized were
$9,909,000.

The increase in interest on investments reflects higher cash
balances invested in interest bearing accounts during 1996 as
compared to 1995.

Decreases in dividend income for the year ended December 31,
1996 compared to 1995 reflect the sales of dividend-paying
securities held by the Company during 1996 and 1995.

Interest expense on notes payable on wrap mortgages reflects
interest expense on debt received in the April 1995 merger of EB,
Inc. Notes payable on wrap mortgages were paid off in 1996
following the sale of the corresponding mortgage loan receivable.

The increase in general and administrative expenses from
$2,381,000 in 1995 to $3,013,000 in 1996 is primarily due to an
increase in costs as a result of recent mergers and acquisitions
and the cost associated with the Company's move to the New York
Stock Exchange from the NASDAQ National Market System. Effective
August 1996, the Company was listed on the New York Stock
Exchange (NYSE). Included in general and administrative expenses
is a one-time listing fee of $78,000. The EB, Inc. merger was
effective April 27, 1995, therefore, general and administrative
expenses of EB, Inc. for only eight months have been included in
1995 compared to twelve months of expenses included in 1996.
Professional fees also increased as compared to 1995, reflecting
primarily the $65,000 cost of conducting an odd-lot tender
program to reduce the number of shareholders owning less than 100
shares of stock as a result of the mergers. The EB, Inc. merger,
resulted in over 4,000 new shareholders for the Company which
also contributed to a $92,000 increase in shareholder reporting
expenses. Other increases in general and administrative expenses
were the result of additional overhead to manage the Company's
significant growth through property acquisitions during 1996 and
1995.





LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Statement of Cash Flows

Cash and cash equivalents were $959,000 and $8,053,000 at
December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The Company generated
$17,554,000 in cash flows from operating activities during the
year ended December 31, 1997 compared to $7,370,000 for the same
period of 1996, an increase primarily attributable to the
significant increase in the number of office properties owned by
the Company. The Company experienced significant investing
activity during the year ending December 31, 1997 with a net of
$210,933,000 being invested. In implementing its investment
strategy, the Company used $211,874,000, not including closing
costs and certain capitalized expenses, to purchase office
properties and development land while receiving net cash proceeds
from the sale of non-core assets and office properties of
$9,330,000. The Company also spent $8,619,000 including closing
costs and capital improvements at its office properties and non-
core operating real estate properties. The Company received net
proceeds of $51,221,000 from the sale of 2,012,500 shares of
common stock during the first quarter of 1997 and net proceeds of
$109,440,000 from the sale of 3,000,000 shares of common stock
during the third quarter of 1997 and 450,000 shares in the fourth
quarter of 1997. Cash dividends of $8,769,000 ($1.20 per share)
were paid to shareholders and principal payments of $2,475,000
were made on mortgage notes payable during the year ending
December 31, 1997.

Liquidity

At December 31, 1997, the Company had $55,000,000 available
on its acquisition line of credit and $ 8,527,000 available on
its working capital line of credit with Deposit Guaranty National
Bank in Jackson, Mississippi. The Company plans to continue
actively pursuing the purchase of office building investments
that meet the Company's investment criteria and intends to use
these lines of credit, proceeds from the sale of non-core assets
and cash balances to fund those acquisitions. At December 31,
1997, the lines of credit had an interest rate equal to the 90-
day LIBOR rate plus 1.75% (adjusted quarterly), interest due
monthly and annual commitment fees of .125%. In addition, both
lines of credit had fees of .125% on the unused balances due
quarterly. Prior to March 27, 1997, the interest rates on both
lines of credit equaled the 90-day LIBOR rate plus 2.35% adjusted
quarterly. The acquisition line of credit and the working capital
line of credit mature June 30, 1998.

At December 31, 1997, the Company had $105,220,000 of non-
recourse fixed rate mortgage notes payable with an average
interest rate of 7.81% secured by office properties and
$6,473,000 drawn under bank lines of credit. Based on the
Company's total market capitalization of approximately
$335,068,000 at December 31, 1997 (using the December 31, 1997
closing price of $34.3125 per share) the Company's debt
represented approximately 25% of its total market capitalization.
The Company plans to maintain a ratio of debt to total market
capitalization from 25% to 40%, although such ratio may from time
to time temporarily exceed 40%, especially when the Company has
incurred significant amounts of short term debt in conection with
property acquisitions.

Subsequent to December 31, 1997, the Company purchased the
Schlumberger Building (previously known as the Veritas Building)
for $12,200,000. The Schlumberger Building is a 155,000 square
foot building with 450 surface parking spaces. This purchase was
funded with advances under existing lines of credit.

On February 25, 1998, the Company purchased a 13-building
portfolio totaling 1,470,000 net rentable square feet that
included properties located in five of its primary markets and
three new markets. The breakdown of the 13 building office
portfolio by market is listed below:

Number of Net Rentable Percentage of
Location Properties Square Feet Portfolio
------------------ ---------- ------------ -------------
Houston, TX 2 536,000 36.4%
Dallas, TX 2 251,000 17.0%

Greenville, SC 1 46,000 3.1%
-- --------- ------
Total 13 1,470,000 100.0%
== ========= ======

The purchase price of this portfolio totaled $163,014,000
and was funded by advances on existing lines of credit, a
$75,000,000 unsecured loan from NationsBank, NA and the proceeds
of two stock offerings discussed in greater detail below. The
NationsBank, NA facility requires the negative pledge of the 13
office properties purchased February 25, 1998, matures August 25,
1998, and has an interest rate of 7.025% until April 24, 1998.
Thereafter the loan will have an interest rate of LIBOR plus
1.40%. In connection with the portfolio purchase, the Company
increased its acquisition line from $55,000,000 to $85,000,000
effective February 25, 1998 and reduced the interest rate on both
lines of credit from the 90-day LIBOR rate plus 1.75% to the 30-
day LIBOR rate plus 1.40%. The lines of credit call for monthly
interest payments, annual commitment fees of .35% and quarterly
unused fees of .175%.

The Company has committed a $97,000,000 fixed rate loan at
6.945% that amortizes over a 15-year term and matures ten years
from the date the loan closes. This loan will be secured by the
13 properties acquired in the February 25, 1998 portfolio
purchase and will be used to repay the NationsBank, NA loan of
$75,000,000. The loan also contains a conversion feature that
will give the Company an option to unsecure all or part of the
loan upon receipt of an investment grade rating from two of the
major rating agencies during the first 24 months of the loan.

Subsequent to year end, the Company completed two stock
transactions. On February 23, 1998, the Company completed the
sale of 451,528 shares of common stock under its existing shelf
registration to a unit investment trust with net proceeds to the
Company of $14,231,000. On March 11, 1998, the Company completed
the sale, through direct placement, of 855,900 shares of common
stock to institutional investors with net proceeds to the Company
of $26,948,000.

The Company presently has plans to make capital improvements
at its office properties in 1998 of approximately $15,000,000.
These expenses include tenant improvements, capitalized
acquisition costs and capitalized building improvements.
Approximately $9,000,000 of these improvements relate to upgrades
and improvements to properties acquired in 1996 and 1997 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 bank lines of credit.

In the routine management of its portfolio of office
properties, the Company evaluates changes in market conditions
that indicate an opportunity or need to sell properties within
that market in order to maximize shareholder value. The Company
also evaluates other factors, including its ability to purchase
sufficient property in a market to justify the implementation of
self management, the speculative development of new office
properties within the market and the demand for office space
within the market as evidenced by job growth and office space
absorption in deciding whether or not a property should be sold.
As a result of this evaluation, the Company has decided to
attempt to sell its properties located in the Northern Virginia
market. The Company has made numerous attempts to purchase
sufficient property in the market to justify the implementation
of self management but has been unsuccessful, as prices have
risen to amounts that make it difficult or impossible to make
purchases that meet the Company's buying criteria. There can be
no assurance that the Company will be able to sell these
properties or on what terms such sale would occur.

The Company anticipates that its current cash balance,
operating cash flows 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. Funds from
operations is defined by the National Association of Real Estate
Investment Trusts (NAREIT) as net income or loss, excluding gains
or losses from debt restructuring and sales of properties, plus
depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for
unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. In March 1995,
NAREIT issued a clarification of the definition of FFO. The
clarification provides that amortization of deferred financing
costs and depreciation of non-real estate assets are not to be
added back to net income to arrive at FFO. Funds from operations
does not represent cash generated from operating activities in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles 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 the Company's FFO for the years
ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 (in thousands):

Non-core asset improvements.......... 27 304
Leasing commissions amortized........391 70
Upgrades on acquisitions anticipated
at the date of purchase ...........1,902 588



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 five year terms, which may enable the Company to replace
existing leases with new leases at a higher base rent if rents on
the existing leases are below the then-existing market rate.

Forward-Looking Statements

In addition to historical information, certain sections of
this Form 10-K 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
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, 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-K. Readers are
cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking
statements, which reflect management's analysis only as of the
date hereof. The Company assumes no obligation to update forward-
looking statements.

Impact of Year 2000

The Company operates in a PC-based computer environment and
maintains its accounting, property and internal control systems
utilizing non proprietary software systems. The Company has
contacted vendors of its significant software systems and
received representations that all such software systems have been
changed, or will be changed prior to June 30, 1999, to be year
2000 compliant. All major computer hardware that supports the
Company's local area network and newly installed wide area
network has been purchased within the past eighteen months and is
known to be year 2000 compliant. The Company has formed a team
of employees to evaluate the Company's building systems, such as
heating, air conditioning, elevators, and security systems to
determine year 2000 compliance. This evaluation has not been
completed. The total year 2000 analysis cost is estimated to be
immaterial to the Company's consolidated financial position and
operations. Such costs will be expensed as incurred. To date,
the Company has incurred and expensed immaterial amounts for
assessment of the year 2000 issue.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of Parkway Properties, Inc.("Parkway" or "the Company) and its
100% owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany
transactions and accounts have been eliminated.

Business

The Company's operations are exclusively in the real estate
industry, principally with acquisition, operation and management
of office buildings.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash equivalents

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

Investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries

The Company shares voting control in the
Wink/Parkway Partnership with a partner and, accordingly,
accounts for its investment using the equity method of
accounting.

Real estate properties

Gains from sales of real estate are recognized based on the
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 66 which require upon closing, the transfer of
rights of ownership to the purchaser, receipt from the purchaser
of an adequate cash down payment and adequate continuing
investment by the purchaser. If the requirements for recognizing
gains have not been met, the sale and related costs are recorded,
but the gain is deferred and recognized generally on the
installment method of accounting as collections are received.

Real estate properties are carried at cost less accumulated
depreciation. Cost includes the carrying amount of the Company's
investment plus any additional consideration paid, liabilities
assumed, costs of securing title (not to exceed fair market value
in the aggregate) and improvements made subsequent to
acquisition. Depreciation of buildings is computed using the
straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of 40
years. Depreciation of tenant improvements including personal
property is computed using the straight-line method over the term
of the lease involved. Maintenance and repair expenses are
charged to expense as incurred, while improvements are
capitalized and depreciated in accordance with the useful lives
outlined above. Geographically, the Company's properties are
concentrated in the Southeastern United States and Texas.

Revenue from real estate rentals is recognized and accrued
as earned on a pro rata basis over the term of the lease.

Management continually evaluates the Company's office
buildings and the markets they have office properties in to
ensure that these buildings continue to meet their investment
criteria. During 1997 management implemented a self management
strategy for the Company's office buildings which will require
the Company to have minimum square footage in an area in order
for the strategy to be cost effective. If the office properties
no longer meet management's investment criteria or the management
of the building is not cost effective, management may consider a
sale of the office property. If such a sale becomes probable,
the office property is classified as available for sale.

Management fee income and leasing and brokerage commissions
are recorded in income as earned. Such fees on Company-owned
properties are eliminated in consolidation.

Non-core assets (see Note C) are carried at the lower of
fair value minus estimated costs to sell or cost. Operating real
estate held for investment is stated at the lower of cost or net
realizable value.

Effective January 1, 1996, the Company adopted SFAS No. 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets to Be
Disposed Of". SFAS No. 121 requires impairment losses to be
recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators
of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows
estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the
assets' carrying amount. The effect of this adoption was not
material to the Company's financial position or results of its
operations.

Interest income recognition

Interest is generally accrued monthly based on the
outstanding loan balances. Recognition of interest income is
discontinued whenever, in the opinion of management, the
collectibility of such income becomes doubtful. After a loan is
classified as non-earning, interest is recognized as income when
received in cash.

Amortization

Debt origination costs are deferred and amortized using
the straight-line method over the term of the loan.
Leasing commissions are deferred and amortized using the straight-
line method over the term of the respective lease.

Stock based compensation

The Company grants stock options for a fixed number of
shares to employees with an exercise price equal to or above the
fair value of the shares at the date of grant. The Company
accounts for stock option grants in accordance with APB Opinion
No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", and,
accordingly, recognizes no compensation expense for the stock
option grants.



Income taxes

Income taxes have been provided using the liability
method with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes".
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of (a)
temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used
for income tax purposes and (b) operating loss and tax credit
carryforwards.

Net Income Per Common Share

On April 30, 1996, the Company completed a 3 for 2 common
stock split, effected in the form of a stock dividend of one
share for every two shares outstanding. All per share data and
share data has been adjusted retroactively for stock dividends
and splits.

In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
issued SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share". SFAS No. 128 replaced
the calculation of primary and fully diluted earnings per share
with basic and diluted earnings per share. Unlike primary
earnings per share, basic earnings per share excludes any
dilutive effects of options, warrants and convertible securities.
Diluted earnings per share is very similar to the previously
reported fully diluted earnings per share. All earnings per
share amounts for all periods have been presented, and where
appropriate, restated to conform to the SFAS No. 128
requirements.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Effective for 1997, SFAS No. 129, "Disclosure of Information
about Capital Structure", established new standards for
disclosures pertaining to an entity's capital structure. SFAS
No. 129 had no impact on the Company in 1997.

Effective for 1998, SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
Income", requires that items required to be recognized as
components of comprehensive income be reported in a financial
statement displayed with the same prominence as other financial
statements. Management does not expect SFAS No. 130 to have a
significant impact on the Company in 1998.

Effective for 1998, SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information", requires that
a public company report financial and descriptive information
about its reportable operating segments. Management does not
expect SFAS No. 131 to have a significant impact on the Company
in 1998.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made in the 1996 and
1995 financial statements to conform to the 1997 classifications.

NOTE B - Investment in Office Properties

At December 31, 1997, Parkway owned or had a direct interest
in 31 office properties located in 10 states with an aggregate of
4,614,000 square feet of leasable space. During the year ended
December 31, 1997, the Company purchased 16 office properties as

NOTE D - Notes Payable

Notes payable to banks

At December 31, 1997, the Company had a $55,000,000
acquisition line of credit and a $15,000,000 working capital line
of credit with Deposit Guaranty National Bank in Jackson,
Mississippi. At December 31, 1997, the lines of credit had an
interest rate equal to the 90-day LIBOR rate plus 1.75% (adjusted
quarterly), interest due monthly and annual commitment fees of
.125%. In addition, both lines of credit have fees of .125% on
the unused balances due quarterly. Effective February 25, 1998,
the acquisition line of credit was increased to $85,000,000 and
the interest rate on both lines was decreased to a rate equal to
the 30-day LIBOR rate plus 1.40% adjusted quarterly. The lines
of credit call for monthly interest payments, annual commitment
fees of .35% and quarterly unused fees of .175%. The interest
rate on the note was 7.5313% as of December 31, 1997 and 7.032%
as of March 25, 1998. The acquisition line of credit and the
working capital line of credit mature June 30, 1998.

NOTE E - Income Taxes

The tax effects of significant items comprising the
Company's net deferred tax asset are as follows (in thousands):

---------------------------

------- ------- -------
Deferred tax assets:

Valuation allowance..... (5,839) (4,202) (4,793)
------- --------------
Net deferred tax asset.. - $ - $ -
======= ======= =======

The Company's income differs for income tax and
financial reporting purposes principally because (1) the timing
of the deduction for the provision for possible losses or
writedowns, (2) the timing of the recognition of gains or losses
from the sale of investments, (3) real estate owned has a
different basis for tax and financial reporting purposes,
producing different gains upon disposition, and (4) mortgage
loans have a different basis for tax and financial reporting
purposes, producing different gains upon collection of these
receivables.

The net increase in the total valuation allowance for
the year ended December 31, 1997 was $1,637,000 and
relates primarily to differences in book and tax basis of real
estate. At December 31, 1997 and 1996, the net deferred tax
asset is entirely offset by a valuation allowance because
realization of the net deferred tax asset is not assured.













The following is a reconciliation between the amount
reported for income taxes and the amount computed by multiplying
income before income tax by the statutory federal tax rate (in
thousands):

At December 31, 1997, the Company has net operating loss
("NOL") carryforwards for federal income tax purposes of
approximately $17,850,000 which expire at various dates through
2011. These carryforwards are limited to a maximum of
approximately $2,700,000 in any given year, subject to increases
for built-in gains recognized.

The Company has qualified under Sections 856 - 860 of the
Internal Revenue Code, as a Real Estate Investment Trust,
("REIT") effective January 1, 1997. In anticipation of
converting to a REIT, the Company reincorporated in Maryland
during 1996. If the Company distributes to its shareholders at
least 95% of its REIT taxable income, it generally will not be
subject to federal corporate income tax on that portion of its
ordinary income or capital gain that is timely distributed to its
shareholders. The Company will utilize the NOL carryforwards as
a REIT to the extent that it has taxable income prior to the
carryforward expiration dates, subject to the limitation as
described above. The Company intends to continue to qualify as a
REIT, although the Company will be subject to a number of
organizational and operational requirements. If the Company
fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will
be subject to federal income tax on its taxable income at the
prevailing corporate rates and would be ineligible to requalify
as a REIT for four years.

In January 1998, the Company completed its reorganization
into an umbrella partnership REIT ("UPREIT") structure under
which substantially all of the Company's office building real
estate assets are owned by an operating partnership, Parkway
Properties LP (the "Operating Partnership"). The Company
anticipates that the UPREIT structure will enable it to pursue
new investment opportunities by having the ability to offer units
in the Operating Partnership to property owners in exchange for
office properties in transactions that may have preferable tax
characteristics. Presently, all interests in the Operating
Partnership are owned by the Company and a wholly-owned
subsidiary.







NOTE F - Stock Option Plans

The Company has elected to follow APB No. 25 and related
Interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options
because, as discussed below, the alternative fair value
accounting provided for under SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-
Based Compensation, requires use of option valuation models that
were not developed for use in valuing employee stock options.

The 1994 Stock Option Plan provides for the issuance of an
aggregate of 225,000 Parkway shares ("Shares") to employees or
officers of the Company and its subsidiaries upon the exercise of
options and upon incentive grants pursuant to the Stock Option
Plan. On July 1 of each year, the number of Shares available for
grant shall automatically increase by one percent (1%) of the
Shares outstanding on such date, provided that the number of
Shares available for grant shall never exceed 12.5% of the Shares
outstanding. In accordance with these provisions, the shares
available for grant increased 100,002 and 41,689 in 1997 and
1996, respectively. Under the 1991 Directors Stock Option Plan,
as amended, options for up to 250,000 shares may be granted to
non-employee directors. Both plans have ten-year terms.

Pro forma information regarding net income and net income
per share is required by SFAS No. 123, and has been determined as
if the Company had accounted for its employee stock options under
the fair value method of that Statement. The fair value for
these options was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-
Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average
assumptions for 1997, 1996 and 1995: risk-free interest of 6.0%;
dividend yield of 5%; volatility factor of the expected market
price of the Company's common stock of .427, .493, and .583,
respectively; and a weighted-average expected life of the options
of 3 years for the 1994 Stock Option Plan and 5 years for the
1991 Directors Stock Option Plan. Because the Company's employee
stock options have characteristics significantly different from
those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective
input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate,
in management's opinion, the existing model does not necessarily
provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its
employee stock options. The weighted average fair value of
options granted during 1997, 1996 and 1995 was $6.80, $4.52 and
$4.39, respectively.

For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair
value of the options granted in 1997, 1996 and 1995 is amortized
to expense over the options' vesting period. The Company's pro
forma information follows (in thousands, except per share
information):

Stock, $.001 par value per share ("Preferred Stock"), and in turn
exchanged 576,000 shares of its Common Stock for the Preferred
Stock outstanding during 1996. The Company paid a dividend of
$138,000, or $.24 per share, on the Preferred Stock in the third
quarter of 1996. The net proceeds from the sale of the Preferred
Stock and the dividend paid are included in the shares issued-

NOTE H - Subsequent Events

Subsequent to December 31, 1997, the Company purchased the
Schlumberger Building (previously known as the Veritas Building)
for $12,200,000. The Schlumberger Building is a 155,000 square
foot building with 450 surface parking spaces. This purchase was
funded with advances under existing lines of credit.

On February 25, 1998, the Company purchased a 13-building
portfolio totaling 1,470,000 net rentable square feet that
included properties located in five of its primary markets and
three new markets. The breakdown of the 13 building office
portfolio by market is listed below:

Number of Net Rentable Percentage of
Location Properties Square Feet Portfolio
------------------ ---------- ------------ -------------
Houston, TX 2 536,000 36.4%
Dallas, TX 2 251,000 17.0%
Ft. Lauderdale, FL 2 215,000 14.6%
Richmond, VA 3 179,000 12.2%
Knoxville, TN 1 89,000 6.2%
Chesapeake, VA 1 82,000 5.6%
Northern VA 1 72,000 4.9%
Greenville, SC 1 46,000 3.1%
-- --------- ------
Total 13 1,470,000 100.0%
== ========= ======

The purchase price of this portfolio totaled $163,014,000
and was funded by advances on existing lines of credit, a
$75,000,000 unsecured loan from NationsBank, NA and the proceeds
of two stock offerings discussed in greater detail below. The
NationsBank, NA facility requires the negative pledge of the 13
office properties purchased February 25, 1998, matures August 25,
1998, and has an interest rate of 7.025% until April 24, 1998.
Thereafter the loan will have an interest rate of LIBOR plus
1.40%. In connection with the portfolio purchase, the Company
increased its acquisition line from $55,000,000 to $85,000,000
effective February 25, 1998 and reduced the interest rate on both
lines of credit from LIBOR plus 1.75% to LIBOR plus 1.40%. The
lines of credit call for monthly interest payments, annual
commitment fees of .35% and quarterly unused fees of .175%.

The Company has committed a $97,000,000 fixed rate loan at
6.945% that amortizes over a 15-year term and matures ten years
from the date the loan closes. This loan will be secured by the
13 properties acquired in the February 25, 1998 portfolio
purchase and will be partially used to repay the NationsBank, NA
loan of $75,000,000. The loan will also contain a conversion
feature that will give the Company an option to unsecure all or
part of the loan upon receipt of an investment grade rating from
two of the major rating agencies during the first 24 months of
the loan.

The pro form effect on the Company's results of operations
of the portfolio purchase as if the purchase had occurred on
January 1, 1997 is as follows (in thousands):

Revenues $20,543
Net income $7,767
Basic EPS $1.10
Diluted EPS $1.08

Pro-forma results do not proport to be indicative of actual
results had the purchases been made at January 1, 1997 or the
results that may occur in the future.

Subsequent to year-end, the Company has completed two stock
transactions. On February 23, 1998, the Company completed the
sale of 451,528 shares of common stock to a unit investment trust
under its existing shelf registration with net proceeds to the
Company of $14,231,000. On March 11, 1998, the Company completed
the sale of common stock through the direct placement of 855,900
shares of common stock in a public offering with net proceeds to
the Company of $26,948,000.

NOTE I - Fair Values of Financial Instruments

Cash and cash equivalents

The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents
approximated fair value at December 31, 1997 and 1996.

Mortgage loans

The fair values for mortgage loans are estimated based on
net realizable value and discounted cash flow analyses, using
interest rates currently being offered on loans with similar
terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. The aggregate fair
value of the mortgage loans at December 31, 1997 was $1,290,000
as compared to its carrying amount of $1,117,000. The aggregate
fair value of the mortgage loans at December 31, 1996, was
$622,000 as compared to its carrying amount of $350,000.

The fair value of the mortgage notes payable without
recourse are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, based
on the Company's current incremental borrowing rates for similar
types of borrowing arrangements. The aggregate fair value of the
mortgage notes payable without recourse at December 31, 1997 was
$108,971,000 as compared to its carrying amount of $105,220,000.
The aggregate fair value of the mortgage notes payable without
recourse at December 31, 1996 was $63,496,000 as compared to its
carrying amount of $62,828,000.

Forward-Looking Statements

In addition to historical information, certain sections of
this Annual Report 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
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, 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 (the "Code"), 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 Annual Report.
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. See also the Company's reports to be
filed from time to time with the Securities and Exchange
Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
