Parkway Properties, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
March 31, 2011

Note A – Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Parkway Properties, Inc. (“Parkway” or “the Company”), its wholly-owned subsidiaries and joint ventures in which the Company has a controlling interest.  The other partners’ equity interests in the consolidated joint ventures are reflected as noncontrolling interests in the consolidated financial statements.  Parkway also consolidates subsidiaries where the entity is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and Parkway is the primary beneficiary and has the power to direct the activities of the VIE and has the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive the benefits from the VIE that could be potentially significant to the VIE.  At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, Parkway did not have any VIEs that required consolidation.  All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in the accompanying financial statements.

The Company also consolidates certain joint ventures where it exercises significant control over major operating and management decisions, or where the Company is the sole general partner and the limited partners do not possess kick-out rights or other substantive participating rights.  The equity method of accounting is used for those joint ventures that do not meet the criteria for consolidation and where Parkway exercises significant influence but does not control these joint ventures.

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 United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements.

The accompanying unaudited condensed 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.  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2011.  The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 2010 annual report and the notes thereto.

The balance sheet at December 31, 2010 has been derived from the audited financial statements as of that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by United States GAAP for complete financial statements.

The Company has evaluated all subsequent events through the issuance date of the financial statements.

Note B – Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) are computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. In arriving at net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders, preferred stock dividends are deducted.  Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if share equivalents such as employee stock options, restricted shares and deferred incentive share units were exercised or converted into common stock that then shared in the earnings of Parkway.

The computation of diluted EPS for the three months ended March 31, 2011 did not include the effect of employee stock options, deferred incentive share units and restricted shares because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

Note C – Supplemental Cash Flow Information and Schedule of Non-Cash Investing and Financing Activity

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

Note D – Acquisitions and Dispositions

On January 21, 2011, the Company and Parkway Properties Office Fund II, LP (“Fund II”) acquired the office and retail portion of 3344 Peachtree located in the Buckhead submarket of Atlanta for $167.3 million.  3344 Peachtree contains approximately 484,000 square feet of office and retail space and includes an adjacent eleven-story parking structure.  Fund II’s investment in the property totaled $160.0 million, with Parkway funding the remaining $7.3 million.  Due to Parkway’s additional investment, the Company’s effective ownership in the property is 33.03%.  An additional $2.6 million is expected to be spent for closing costs, building improvements, leasing costs and tenant improvements during the first two years of ownership.  Simultaneous with closing, Fund II assumed the $89.6 million existing non-recourse first mortgage loan, which matures on October 1, 2017, and carries a fixed interest rate of 4.8%.  In accordance with GAAP, the mortgage loan was recorded at $87.2 million to reflect the value of the instrument based on a market interest rate of 5.25% on the date of purchase. Parkway's equity contribution in the investment is $25.5 million and was initially funded through availability under the Company's credit facility.

On February 4, 2011, the Company purchased its partner’s 50% interest in the Wink-Parkway Partnership (“Wink JV”) for $250,000.  The Wink JV was established for the purpose of owning the Wink Building, a 32,000 square foot office property in New Orleans, Louisiana.  Upon completing the purchase of its partner’s interest, Parkway now owns 100% of the Wink Building.

On March 31, 2011, Fund II purchased 245 Riverside located in the central business district of Jacksonville, Florida for $18.5 million.  245 Riverside contains approximately 135,000 square feet of office space.

 
Page 8 of 37

 

An additional $1.6 million is expected to be spent for closing costs, building improvements, leasing costs and tenant improvements during the first two years of ownership.  In connection with the purchase, Fund II placed a $9.3 million non-recourse first mortgage loan secured by the property with an initial thirty-six month interest only period and a maturity date of March 31, 2019.  The mortgage loan has a stated rate of LIBOR plus 200 basis points.  In connection with the mortgage loan, Fund II entered into an interest rate swap agreement that fixes the interest rate at 5.3% through September 30, 2018.  Parkway’s equity contribution of $2.8 million was funded through availability under the Company’s credit facility.  Parkway’s effective ownership interest in this asset is 30%.

The preliminary allocation of purchase price allocated to intangible assets and liabilities and weighted average amortization period (in years) for each class of asset or liability for 3344 Peachtree and 245 Riverside is as follows (in thousands, except weighted average life):

For the three months ended March 31, 2011, revenue and net income attributable to common stockholders resulting from the acquisitions of 3344 Peachtree and 245 Riverside were $3.4 million and $126,000, respectively.

On April 8, 2011, Fund II purchased Corporate Center Four at International Plaza (“Corporate Center Four”) located in the Westshore submarket of Tampa, Florida for $45.0 million.  Corporate Center Four contains approximately 250,000 square feet of office space.  An additional $5.6 million is expected to be spent for closing costs, building improvements, leasing costs and tenant improvements during the first two years of ownership.  In connection with the purchase, Fund II placed a $22.5 million non-recourse first mortgage loan secured by the property with an initial thirty-six month interest only period and a maturity date of April 8, 2019.  The mortgage loan has a stated rate of LIBOR plus 200 basis points.  In connection with the mortgage loan, Fund II entered into an interest rate swap agreement that fixes the interest rate at 5.4% through October 8, 2018.  Parkway’s equity contribution of $6.8 million was funded through availability under the Company’s credit facility.  Parkway’s effective ownership interest in this asset is 30%.

Fund II is under contract to purchase four additional office properties for $316.5 million.  The four properties are located in Philadelphia, Atlanta, Orlando and Tampa.  Once these investments are completed, this will bring Fund II’s total investment to $559.0 million, which represents 75% of the fund’s $750.0 million investment capacity.  An additional $20.9 million is expected to be spent for closing costs, building improvements, leasing costs and tenant improvements during the first two years of ownership.  In connection with the Fund II investments still under contract, Parkway has received a commitment from an institutional investor to invest, simultaneous with closing, approximately $26.0 million in the Company’s existing Series D preferred stock.  The Company expects to complete these investments during the second quarter of 2011.

On April 10, 2011, the Company reached a definitive agreement with Eola Capital (“Eola”) in which Eola would contribute its Property Management Company (the “Management Company”) to Parkway.  Eola’s principals will contribute the Management Company to Parkway for initial consideration of $32.4 million in cash and Eola’s principals will have the opportunity to earn (i) up to 1.574 million units of limited partnership interest in Parkway’s operating partnership (“OP Units”) through an earn-out arrangement and (ii) up to 226,000 additional OP Units through an earn-up arrangement.  To the extent earned, all OP Units will be redeemable for shares of Parkway common stock on a one-for-one basis.  Earn-out and earn-up consideration will be contingent upon the achievement by the Management Company of targeted annual gross fee revenue and/or share price levels during an initial period for the balance of 2011 after closing and a second period for the full calendar year 2012.  Parkway will also have protections against fee income loss in the form of a provision requiring specific payments to Parkway in the event of certain terminations of existing management contracts and a non-compete agreement with regard to the existing management contracts of the Management Company.  The Management Company currently manages assets totaling approximately 11.2 million square feet and produced annual gross fee revenue of approximately $21.0 million during 2010.  Parkway has also received certain short-term options to purchase at a fixed price the Eola principals’ General Partner interest and/or a fee simple interest in three Class A office properties consisting of eight individual buildings totaling 1.5 million square feet located in Jacksonville, Florida; Orlando, Florida and the Washington, DC Metro area.  Additionally, Eola principals have agreed to cooperate with Parkway to obtain options for Parkway to acquire, at a price to be determined by negotiation with Eola’s limited partners, three additional Class A office properties located in Parkway’s core markets totaling 579,000 square feet.  Parkway believes these options provide a potential opportunity for further growth, but these options may not be exercised.  Parkway expects to fund the cash consideration for the Management Company contribution with operating cash flow, proceeds from the disposition of office properties and amounts available on the credit facilities.

On May 5, 2011, the Company classified 233 North Michigan in Chicago, Illinois as held for sale as a result of $17.0 million in earnest money related to the sale becoming non-refundable to the buyer.  233 North Michigan is under contract for a gross sales price of $162.2 million.  The Company plans to repay the $84.6 million first mortgage that is secured by the property upon closing.  Parkway expects to receive net cash proceeds from the sale after the repayment of the first mortgage of approximately $75.5 million, which will be used to reduce amounts outstanding under the Company’s credit facility.    The Company estimates that it will recognize a gain on the sale of real estate from discontinued operations of approximately $2.6 million in the second quarter of 2011.

Note F – Mortgage Loan

The Company owns the B participation piece (the “B piece”) of a first mortgage secured by an 844,000 square foot office building in Dallas, Texas known as 2100 Ross at an original cost of $6.9 million.  The B piece was originated by Wachovia Bank, N.A., a Wells Fargo Company, and has a face value of $10.0 million and a stated coupon rate of 6.065%. Upon maturity in May 2012, the Company will receive a principal payment of $10.0 million, which produces a yield to maturity of 15.6%.  The carrying amount of the mortgage loan was $9.0 million at March 31, 2011.

In connection with the sale of One Park Ten, the Company seller-financed a $1.5 million note receivable that bears interest at 7.25% per annum on an interest-only basis through maturity in June 2012.  The carrying amount of the mortgage loan was $1.5 million at March 31, 2011.

Note G – Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

In addition to the 64 office and parking properties included in the consolidated financial statements, the Company is also invested in two unconsolidated joint ventures with unrelated investors. These investments are accounted for using the equity method of accounting, as Parkway does not control any of these joint ventures.  Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of the joint ventures are not included on Parkway’s consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010. Information relating to these unconsolidated joint ventures is detailed below (in thousands).

As a result of the Company’s partner, Rubicon US REIT, filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, new partners were admitted into the Maitland JV.  The new partners are JP Morgan Chase, Kaufman Jacobs, LLC and Starwood Capital Group Global, LP.

Cash distributions from unconsolidated joint ventures are made to each partner based on their percentage of ownership in each entity.  Cash distributions made to partners in joint ventures where the percentage of debt assumed is disproportionate to the ownership percentage in the venture is distributed based on each partner’s share of cash available for distribution before debt service, based on their ownership percentage, less the partner’s share of debt service based on the percentage of debt assumed by each partner.

Parkway provides management, construction and leasing services for all of the unconsolidated joint ventures and receives market based fees for these services.  The Company recognizes its share of fees earned from unconsolidated joint ventures in management company income.

At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company’s investment in unconsolidated joint ventures was $1.8 million or 0.1% of total assets and $2.9 million or 0.2% of total assets, respectively.

On February 4, 2011, the Company purchased its partner’s 50% interest in the Wink JV for $250,000.  The Wink JV was established for the purpose of owning the Wink Building, a 32,000 square foot office property in New Orleans, Louisiana.  Upon completing the purchase of its partner’s interest, Parkway now owns 100% of the Wink Building.

In most cases the Company’s share of debt related to its unconsolidated joint ventures is the same as its ownership percentage in the venture.  However, in the case of the Maitland JV, the Company’s share of debt is disproportionate to its ownership percentage.  The disproportionate debt structure was created to meet the Company’s partner’s financing criteria.  In the Maitland JV, the Company owns a 20% interest in the venture and assumed none of the debt.  The terms related to Parkway’s share of unconsolidated joint venture mortgage debt are summarized below for March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 (in thousands):

Note H - Capital and Financing Transactions

At March 31, 2011, the Company had a total of $166.6 million outstanding under its credit facilities (collectively, the “Company’s credit facility”) and was in compliance with all loan covenants under each credit facility.  The Company had a $100.0 million interest rate swap associated with the credit facility that expired on March 31, 2011, and locked LIBOR at 3.635%.  Excluding the impact of the interest rate swap, the interest rate on the new credit facility is based on LIBOR plus 275 to 350 basis points depending on the Company’s overall leverage with the current rate set at LIBOR plus 325 basis points.  Additionally, the Company pays fees on the unused portion of the credit facilities ranging between 40 and 50 basis points based upon usage of the aggregate commitment, with the current rate set at 40 basis points.

Mortgage notes payable at March 31, 2011 totaled $876.6 million with an average interest rate of 5.8% and were secured by office properties.

On January 31, 2011, the Company closed a new $190.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility and a new $10.0 million unsecured working capital revolving credit facility.  The new credit facilities have an initial term of three years and replaced the existing unsecured revolving credit facility, term loan and working capital facility that were scheduled to mature on April 27, 2011.  The Company had a $100.0 million interest rate swap associated with the credit facilities that expired March 31, 2011, and locked LIBOR at 3.635%.  Wells Fargo Securities and JP Morgan Securities LLC acted as Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Book Runners on the unsecured revolving credit facility.  In addition, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. acted as Administration Agent and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. acted as Syndication Agent.  Other participating lenders include PNC Bank, N.A., Bank of America, N.A., US Bank, N.A., Trustmark National Bank, and BancorpSouth Bank.  The working capital revolving credit facility was provided solely by PNC Bank, N.A.

On January 21, 2011, in connection with its purchase of 3344 Peachtree in Atlanta, Georgia, Fund II assumed the $89.6 million existing non-recourse first mortgage loan, which matures on October 1, 2017, and carries a fixed interest rate of 4.8%.  In accordance with GAAP, the mortgage loan was recorded at $87.2 million to reflect the value of the instrument based on a market interest rate of 5.25% on the date of purchase.

On February 18, 2011, Fund II obtained a $10.0 million mortgage loan secured by Carmel Crossing, a 326,000 square foot office complex in Charlotte, North Carolina.  The mortgage loan has a fixed rate of 5.5% and is interest only through maturity at March 10, 2020.  Parkway received $2.4 million in net proceeds from the loan, which represents its 30% equity investment in the property.  The proceeds were used to reduce amounts outstanding under the Company’s credit facility.

On March 31, 2011, Fund II obtained a $9.3 million mortgage loan secured by 245 Riverside, a 135,000 square foot office property in Jacksonville, Florida.  The mortgage has a stated rate of LIBOR plus 200 basis points, has an initial thirty-six month interest only period and a maturity of March 31, 2019.  In connection with this mortgage, Fund II entered into an interest rate swap that fixes the interest rate at 5.3% through September 30, 2018.

On April 8, 2011, Fund II purchased Corporate Center Four located in the Westshore submarket of Tampa, Florida.  Corporate Center Four contains approximately 250,000 square feet of office space.  Upon the completion of the purchase of Corporate Center Four, the Company had a total of approximately 4.2 million square feet of joint ventures included in its consolidated financial statements of which, Fund II had approximately 1.4 million square feet.
 
Parkway serves as the general partner of Parkway Properties Office Fund, LP (“Fund I”) and provides asset management, property management, leasing and construction management services to the fund, for which it is paid market-based fees.  Cash distributions from the fund are made to each joint venture partner based on their percentage of ownership in the fund.  Because Parkway is the sole general partner and has the authority to make major decisions on behalf of the fund, Parkway is considered to have a controlling interest.  Accordingly, Parkway is required to consolidate the fund in its consolidated financial statements. At February 15, 2008, Ohio PERS Fund I was fully invested.

In 2008, Parkway formed Fund II, a $750.0 million discretionary fund with the Teacher Retirement System of Texas (“TRST”), for the purpose of acquiring high-quality multi-tenant office properties.  TRST is a 70% investor, and Parkway is a 30% investor in the fund, which, when fully funded, will be capitalized with approximately $375.0 million of equity capital and $375.0 million of non-recourse, fixed-rate first mortgage debt.  Parkway’s share of the equity contribution for the fund will be $112.5 million and will be funded with operating cash flow, proceeds from asset sales, issuance of equity securities and/or advances on the credit facility as needed on a temporary basis.  Fund II targets acquisitions in the core markets of Houston, Austin, San Antonio, Chicago, Atlanta, Phoenix, Charlotte, Memphis, Nashville, Jacksonville, Orlando, Tampa/St. Petersburg, and Ft. Lauderdale, as well as other growth markets to be determined at Parkway’s discretion.

Parkway serves as the general partner of Fund II and provides asset management, property management, and leasing and construction management services to the fund for which it is paid market-based fees.  Parkway exclusively represents the fund in making acquisitions within the target markets and within certain predefined criteria.  Parkway may continue to make fee-simple acquisitions in markets outside of the target markets, acquire properties within the target markets that do not meet the fund’s specific criteria or sell any currently owned properties.

 
Page 14 of 37

 

At March 31, 2011, Fund II included investments in five office properties totaling $216.5 million.  In April 2011, Fund II purchased an investment in an office property totaling $45.0 million.  Fund II is under contract to purchase four additional office properties for $316.5 million.  The four properties are located in Philadelphia, Atlanta, Orlando and Tampa.  Once these investments are completed, this will bring Fund II’s total investment to $559.0 million, which represents 75% of the fund’s $750.0 million investment capacity.  The Company expects to complete these investments during the second quarter of 2011.

Noncontrolling interest - real estate partnerships represents the other partners’ proportionate share of equity in the partnerships discussed above at March 31, 2011.

Note J - Share-Based and Long-Term Compensation Plans

Effective May 1, 2010, the stockholders of the Company approved Parkway’s 2010 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “2010 Equity Plan”) that authorized the grant of up to 600,000 equity based awards to employees and directors of the Company. The 2010 Equity Plan replaces the Company’s 2003 Equity Incentive Plan and the 2001 Non-Employee Directors Equity Compensation Plan.  At present, it is Parkway’s intention to grant restricted shares and/or deferred incentive share units instead of stock options although the 2010 Equity Plan authorizes various forms of incentive awards, including options.  The 2010 Equity Plan has a ten-year term.

Compensation expense, including estimated forfeitures, for service-based awards is recognized over the expected vesting period.  The total compensation expense for the long-term equity incentive awards granted under the FOCUS Plan is based upon the fair value of the shares on the grant date, adjusted for estimated forfeitures.  Time-based restricted shares and deferred incentive share units are valued based on the New York Stock Exchange closing market price of Parkway common shares (NYSE ticker symbol, PKY) as of the date of grant.  The grant date fair value for awards that are subject to market conditions is determined using a simulation pricing model developed to specifically accommodate the unique features of the awards.

Restricted shares and deferred incentive share units are forfeited if an employee leaves the Company before the vesting date except in the case of the employee’s death or permanent disability or upon termination following a change of control.  Shares and/or units that are forfeited become available for future grant under the 2010 Equity Plan.

Compensation expense related to restricted shares and deferred incentive share units of $407,000 and $63,000  was recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  Total compensation expense related to nonvested awards not yet recognized was $3.2 million at March 31, 2011.  The weighted average period over which the expense is expected to be recognized is approximately 2.5 years.

On January 9, 2011, 25,935 restricted shares vested and were issued to officers of the Company due to the achievement of performance goals established in 2009 by the Board of Directors.

On January 12, 2011, 27,125 restricted shares vested and were issued to officers of the Company.  These shares were granted in January 2007 and vested four years from the grant date.

On January 14, 2011, the Board of Directors approved 55,623 FOCUS Plan long-term equity incentive awards to officers of the Company.  The long-term equity incentive awards are valued at $736,000 which equates to an average price per share of $13.23 and consist of 25,620 time-based awards, 16,883 market condition awards subject to an absolute total return goal, and 13,120 market condition awards subject to a relative total return goal.  These shares will be accounted for as equity-classified awards.

The time-based awards granted as part of the FOCUS plan will vest ratably over four years from the date the shares are granted.  The market condition awards granted as part of the FOCUS Plan are contingent on the Company meeting goals for compounded annual total return to stockholders (“TRS”) over the three year period beginning July 1, 2010.  The market condition goals are based upon (i) the Company’s absolute compounded annual TRS; and (ii) the Company’s absolute compounded annual TRS relative to the compounded annual return of the MSCI US REIT (“RMS”) Index calculated on a gross basis, as follows:

 
Page 15 of 37

 


 
Threshold
Target
Maximum
Absolute Return Goal
10%
12%
14%
Relative Return Goal
RMS + 100 bps
RMS + 200 bps
RMS + 300 bps

With respect to the absolute return goal, 15% of the award is earned if the Company achieves threshold performance and a cumulative 60% is earned for target performance.  With respect to the relative return goal, 20% of the award is earned if the Company achieves threshold performance and a cumulative 55% is earned for target performance.  In each case, 100% of the award is earned if the Company achieves maximum performance or better.  To the extent actually earned, the market condition awards will vest 50% on each of July 15, 2013 and 2014.

The FOCUS Plan also includes a long-term cash incentive that was designed to reward significant outperformance over the three year period beginning July 1, 2010.  The performance goals for actual payment under the long-term cash incentive will require the Company to (i) achieve an absolute compounded annual TRS that exceeds 14% AND (ii) achieve an absolute compounded annual TRS that exceeds the compounded annual return of the RMS by at least 500 basis points.  Notwithstanding the above goals, in the event the Company achieves an absolute compounded annual TRS that exceeds 19%, then the Company must achieve an absolute compounded annual TRS that exceeds the compounded annual return of the RMS by at least 600 basis points.  The aggregate amount of the cash incentive earned would increase with corresponding increases in the absolute compounded annual TRS achieved by the Company.  There will be a cap on the aggregate cash incentive earned in the amount of $7.1 million.  Achievement of the maximum cash incentive would equate to an absolute compounded annual TRS that approximates 23%, provided that the absolute compounded annual TRS exceeds the compounded annual return of the RMS by at least 600 basis points.  The total compensation expense for the long-term cash incentive awards granted under the FOCUS Plan is based upon the fair market value of the award on the grant date and adjusted as necessary each reporting period.  The long-term cash incentive awards are accounted for as a liability-classified award on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.  The grant date  and quarterly fair value estimates for awards that are subject to a market condition are determined using a simulation pricing model developed to specifically accommodate the unique features of the awards.

Note K - Fair Values of Financial Instruments

FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”), defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 also provides guidance for using fair value to measure financial assets and liabilities.  The Codification requires disclosure of the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall, including measurements using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1), quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active (Level 2), and significant valuation assumptions that are not readily observable in the market (Level 3).

Cash and cash equivalents

The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents approximated fair value at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

Mortgage loan receivable

The Company owns the B participation piece (the “B piece”) of a first mortgage secured by an 844,000 square foot office building in Dallas, Texas known as 2100 Ross, and the carrying amount of the mortgage loan was approximately $9.0 million and $8.8 million at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.  In connection with the sale of One Park Ten, the Company seller-financed a $1.5 million note receivable, and carrying amount of the note was $1.5 million at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.  The carrying amount of each mortgage loan approximated fair value at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

Mortgage notes payable

The fair value of the mortgage notes payable is 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 at March 31, 2011 was $830.0 million as compared to its carrying amount of $876.6 million.  The aggregate fair value of the mortgage notes payable at December 31, 2010 was $734.6 million as compared to its carrying amount of $773.5 million.

Notes payable to banks

The fair value of the Company’s notes payable to banks is estimated by discounting expected cash flows at current market rates.  The aggregate fair value of the notes payable to banks at March 31, 2011 was $151.1 million as compared to its carrying amount of $166.6 million.  The aggregate fair value of the notes payable to banks at December 31, 2010 was $109.6 million as compared to its carrying amount of $110.8 million.

Interest rate swap agreements

The fair value of the interest rate swaps is determined by estimating the expected cash flows over the life of the swap using the mid-market rate and price environment as of the last trading day of the reporting period.  This information is considered a Level 2 input as defined by ASC 820.  The aggregate fair value liability of the interest rate swaps at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was $1.9 million and $3.0 million, respectively.

Note L – Litigation

As previously disclosed, J. Mitchell Collins, the Company's former Chief Financial Officer, has brought and threatened claims against the Company relating to the termination of his employment with the Company.  There have been no significant changes in the litigation by Mr. Collins since the filing of the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, and management continues to believe that the final outcome of the litigation by Mr. Collins will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial statements.  In early April, 2011, the Company filed an injunction action against Mr. Collins, Parkway Properties, Inc. v. J. Mitchell Collins, Madison County (MS) No. 2011-340-G, seeking a permanent injunction forbidding Mr. Collins to assume an anonymous or false identity to communicate any accusation against the Company.

Note M - Segment Information
 

Parkway’s primary business is the ownership and operation of office properties.  The Company accounts for each office property or groups of related office properties as an individual operating segment.  Parkway has aggregated its individual operating segments into a single reporting segment due to the fact that the individual operating segments have similar operating and economic characteristics.

The Company believes that the individual operating segments exhibit similar economic characteristics such as being leased by the square foot, sharing the same primary operating expenses and ancillary revenue opportunities and being cyclical in the economic performance based on current supply and demand conditions.  The individual operating segments are also similar in that revenues are derived from the leasing of office space to customers and each office property is managed and operated consistently in accordance with Parkway’s standard operating procedures.  The range and type of customer uses of our properties is similar throughout our portfolio regardless of location or class of building and the needs and priorities of our customers do not vary from building to building. Therefore,  Parkway’s management responsibilities do not vary from location to location based on the size of the building, geographic location or class.

 
Page 17 of 37

 
The management of the Company evaluates the performance of the reportable office segment based on funds from operations attributable to common stockholders (“FFO”).  Management believes that 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.  Funds from operations is defined by NAREIT as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses from sales of property and extraordinary items under GAAP, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments to derive the Company’s pro rata share of FFO of consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures.  Further, the Company does not adjust FFO to eliminate the effects of non-recurring charges.  The Company believes that FFO is a meaningful supplemental measure of its operating performance because historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, as reflected through depreciation and amortization expenses. However, since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market and other conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient.  Thus, NAREIT created FFO as a supplemental measure of operating performance for real estate investment trusts that excludes historical cost depreciation and amortization, among other items, from net income, as defined by GAAP.  The Company believes that the use of FFO, combined with the required GAAP presentations, has been beneficial in improving the understanding of operating results of real estate investment trusts among the investing public and making comparisons of operating results among such companies more meaningful. 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.  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.

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, leasing and ownership of office properties.  The Company is geographically focused on the Southeastern and Southwestern United States and Chicago. At May 1, 2011, Parkway owned or had an interest in 67 office properties located in 11 states with an aggregate of approximately 14.1 million square feet of leasable space. Included in the portfolio are 22 properties totaling 4.5 million square feet that are owned jointly with other investors, representing 32.2% of the portfolio.  With the discretionary funds and/or partnerships, the Company receives fees for asset management, property management, leasing and construction management services and potentially receives incentive fees upon sale if certain investment targets are achieved.  Increasing the number of co-investments, and consequently the related fee income, is part of the Company’s strategy to transform itself to an operator-owner versus an owner-operator.  The strategy capitalizes on the Company’s strength in providing excellent service in the operation and acquisition of office properties for investment clients in addition to its direct ownership of real estate assets.  Fee-based real estate services are offered through the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Parkway Realty Services LLC (“PRS”), which also currently manages and/or leases approximately 1.6 million square feet for third party owners.  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. At April 1, 2011, occupancy of Parkway’s office portfolio was 83.8% compared to 85.3% at January 1, 2011 and 85.6% at April 1, 2010.  Not included in the April 1, 2011 occupancy rate are the acquisition of Corporate Center Four at International Plaza on April 8, 2011, as well as 30 signed leases totaling 257,000 square feet, which will take occupancy between now and the second quarter of 2012.  Including these leases and the acquisition of Corporate Center Four at International Plaza, the Company’s portfolio was 85.2% leased at April 13, 2011.  During the first quarter of 2011, customers vacated or contracted by 431,000 square feet.  The Company however, expects to offset some of this loss by maintaining a leasing volume for the remainder of the year, which is in line with historical levels.  Parkway currently anticipates an average annual occupancy range of approximately 83.5% to 85% during 2011 for its office properties.  In May 2011, the Company signed an 11 year and six month lease for approximately 135,000 square feet that would backfill nearly 60% of the 230,000 square foot Health Care Services Corporation (BCBS) lease that is scheduled to expire in March 2012, at the 111 East Wacker office building in Chicago, Illinois.  The lease is subject to customary third-party consents and approvals.  To combat rising vacancy, Parkway utilizes innovative approaches to produce new leases.  These include the Broker Bill of Rights, a short-form service agreement and customer advocacy programs, which the Company believes are models in the industry and have helped the Company maintain occupancy at a premium above the national occupancy rate of approximately 82.7%.

Rental Rates. An increase in vacancy rates has the effect of reducing market rental rates and vice versa. 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.  At April 1, 2011, Parkway had $1.41 per square foot in rental rate embedded loss in its office property leases.  Embedded loss is defined as the difference between the weighted average in place cash rents and the weighted average market rental rate.

Customer Retention. Keeping existing customers is important as high customer retention leads to increased occupancy, less downtime between leases, and reduced leasing costs.  Parkway estimates that it costs five to six times more to replace an existing customer with a new one than to retain the customer. In making this estimate, Parkway takes into account the sum of revenue lost during downtime on the space plus leasing costs, which rise as market vacancies increase.  Therefore, Parkway focuses a great amount of energy on customer retention.  Parkway’s operating philosophy is based on the premise that it is 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 customers and stockholders.  Over the past ten years, Parkway maintained an average 67.5% customer retention rate. Parkway’s customer retention rate was 48.1% for the quarter ending March 31, 2011, as compared to 68.3% for the quarter ending December 31, 2010, and 57.2% for the quarter ending March 31, 2010.

Strategic Planning.  Parkway is a focused office REIT with a hands-on, service-oriented approach, a disciplined capital allocation program and willingness to recycle assets.  However, Parkway continues to focus on the Company’s strategy of transforming itself to an operator-owner from an owner-operator, as well as maximizing total return to Parkway’s stockholders.  To show Parkway’s commitment to this goal, the Company’s newest strategic plan is centered on a goal of achieving a 12% compounded annual total return to the Company’s stockholders over a three-year period.  This plan is known as the FOCUS Plan (the “Plan”), which began July 1, 2010 and will extend three full years through June 30, 2013.  The goals of the Plan are as follows:

·  
Fund and Fund-Like Investments.  The Company believes that fund and fund-like investments have the highest priority of the Company’s capital allocation, because it gives Parkway’s stockholders the highest risk adjusted return as measured by internal rate of return, capitalization rate and accretion per share.

·  
Operator-Owner.  The Company plans to make a full transformation to an operator-owner, with the goal of being a majority operator/owner by the end of the Plan.  This has been a goal for several years and will continue to be a core strategy as Parkway seeks to increase fee income and maximize its return on equity and accretion per share.  Additionally, the Company will continue to expand PRS, which offers expert real estate management guidance, professional property management services and strategic marketing and leasing services aimed at increasing net operating income and maximizing profit upon exit.

·  
Capital Allocation Discipline.  The Company’s overall capital structure goal is to achieve a net debt to gross asset value ratio of 50%, as determined by using a capitalization rate of 8.5%, and a net debt to EBITDA multiple of 6.5 times or less.  Beyond the balance sheet, capital allocation refers to the Company’s goal to exit non-strategic markets through the continuation of its Asset Recycling program.  Most of the properties identified for sale are smaller assets or assets located in smaller markets where Parkway does not have a significant presence.  By the end of the Plan, the Company’s goal is to be invested in larger, higher-quality properties located in higher-rent growth markets through fund and fund-like investments.  The Company will continue to seek to maintain discipline as it relates to managing the balance sheet and the acquisition and disposition of assets.

·  
Uncompromising Focus on Operations.  Parkway believes that its uncompromising focus on operations is what sets it apart from other office property owners.  An important goal of the Plan is to move decision-making authority to the regional office level.  The Company’s market leaders already have the responsibility of setting rents, increasing net operating income margins and maintaining a consistent standard of operations and will be given more profit and loss responsibility and investment authority going forward.  It is important that  we know our markets, which is best achieved when Parkway’s people live and work within the market.  An integral part of the Plan is a program referred to as “We Know…City.”  These three words imply that Parkway employees know more than just how to manage real estate, but that they have a deep understanding of a city’s history, economics, infrastructure, politics and much more.  By truly knowing the cities where the Company is invested, we are better positioned for leasing, active asset management, recruitment and investments.

·  
Shareholder Returns.  All of the previously mentioned goals funnel to the ultimate goal of the FOCUS Plan, which is to maximize total return to Parkway’s stockholders.  The Company has set a goal of achieving a 12% annual compounded total return to its shareholders for the three-year period starting July 1, 2010.

Discretionary Funds. On July 6, 2005, Parkway, through affiliated entities, entered into a limited partnership agreement forming a $500.0 million discretionary fund, known as Parkway Properties Office Fund I, LP (“Fund I”), with Ohio Public Employee Retirement System (“Ohio PERS”) for the purpose of acquiring high-quality multi-tenant office properties. Ohio PERS is a 75% investor and Parkway is a 25% investor in the fund, which is capitalized with approximately $200.0 million of equity capital and $300.0 million of non-recourse, fixed-rate first mortgage debt. At February 15, 2008, the Fund I was fully invested.

Fund I targeted properties with an anticipated leveraged internal rate of return of greater than 11%. Parkway serves as the general partner of the fund and provides asset management, property management, leasing and construction management services to the fund, for which it is paid market-based fees. After each partner has received a 10% annual cumulative preferred return and a return of invested capital, 60% will be distributed to Ohio PERS and 40% to Parkway.  The term of Fund I will be seven years until February 2015, with provisions to extend the term for two additional one-year periods.

On May 14, 2008, Parkway, through affiliated entities, entered into a limited partnership agreement forming a $750.0 million discretionary fund, known as Fund II, with Teacher Retirement System of Texas (“TRST”) for the purpose of acquiring high-quality multi-tenant office properties.  TRST is a 70% investor and Parkway is a 30% investor in the fund, which will be capitalized with approximately $375.0 million of equity capital and $375.0 million of non-recourse, fixed-rate first mortgage debt.  Parkway’s share of the equity contribution for the fund will be $112.5 million and will be funded with operating cash flows, proceeds from asset sales, issuance of equity securities and/or advances on the credit facility as needed on a temporary basis.  Fund II targets acquisitions in the core markets of Houston, Austin, San Antonio, Chicago, Atlanta, Phoenix, Charlotte, Memphis, Nashville, Jacksonville, Orlando, Tampa/St. Petersburg, and Ft. Lauderdale, as well as other growth markets to be determined at Parkway’s discretion.

Fund II targets properties with an anticipated leveraged internal rate of return of greater than 10%.  Parkway serves as the general partner of the fund and provides asset management, property management, leasing and construction management services to the fund, for which it is paid market-based fees.  Cash will be distributed pro rata to each partner until a 9% annual cumulative preferred return is received and invested capital is returned.  Thereafter, 56% will be distributed to TRST and 44% to Parkway.  Parkway has four years, or through May 2012, to identify and acquire properties (the “Investment Period”), with funds contributed as needed to close acquisitions.  Parkway will exclusively represent the fund in making acquisitions within the target markets and acquisitions with certain predefined criteria.  Parkway will not be prohibited from making fee-simple or joint venture acquisitions in markets outside of the target markets, acquiring properties within the target markets that do not meet Fund II’s specific criteria or selling a full or partial interest in currently owned properties.  The term of Fund II will be seven years from the expiration of the Investment Period, with provisions to extend the term for two additional one-year periods at the discretion of Parkway.  At May 1, 2011, Fund II had remaining investment capacity of $472.7 million of which $69.9 million represents Parkway’s remaining equity contribution that would be due in connection with additional investments in office properties.  Fund II is under contract to purchase four additional office properties for $316.5 million.  The four properties are located in Philadelphia, Atlanta, Orlando and Tampa.  Once these investments are completed, this will bring Fund II’s total investment to $559.0 million, which represents 75% of the fund’s $750.0 million capacity.  The Company expects to complete these investments during the second quarter of 2011.
 
Financial Condition

Comments are for the balance sheet dated March 31, 2011 compared to the balance sheet dated December 31, 2010.

Office and Parking Properties. In 2011, Parkway continued the execution of its strategy of operating and acquiring office properties as well as liquidating non-strategic assets that no longer meet the Company’s investment criteria or the Company has determined value will be maximized by selling.  During the three months ended March 31, 2011, total assets increased $221.1 million or 13.8%.

Acquisitions, Dispositions and Improvements.  Parkway's investment in office and parking properties increased $148.1 million net of depreciation to a carrying amount of $1.5 billion at March 31, 2011 and consisted of 64 office and parking properties.  The primary reason for the increase in office and parking properties relates to the purchase of three office properties.

On January 21, 2011, the Company and Fund II acquired the office and retail portion of 3344 Peachtree located in the Buckhead submarket of Atlanta for $167.3 million.  3344 Peachtree contains approximately 484,000 square feet of office and retail space and includes an adjacent eleven-story parking structure.  Fund II’s investment in the property totaled $160.0 million, with Parkway funding the remaining $7.3 million.  Due to Parkway’s additional investment, the Company’s effective ownership in the property is 33.03%. An additional $2.6 million is expected to be spent for closing costs, building improvements, leasing costs and tenant improvements during the first two years of ownership.  Simultaneous with closing, Fund II assumed the $89.6 million existing non-recourse first mortgage loan, which matures on October 1, 2017, and carries a fixed interest rate of 4.8%.  In accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), the mortgage loan was recorded at $87.2 million to reflect the value of the instrument based on a market interest rate of 5.25% on the date of purchase. Parkway's equity contribution in the investment is $25.5 million and was initially funded through borrowings under the Company's credit facility.

On February 4, 2011, the Company purchased its partner’s 50% interest in the Wink-Parkway Partnership (“Wink JV”) for $250,000.  The Wink JV was established for the purpose of owning the Wink Building, a 32,000 square foot office property in New Orleans, Louisiana.  Upon completing the purchase of its partner’s interest, Parkway now owns 100% of the Wink Building.

On March 31, 2011, Fund II purchased 245 Riverside located in the central business district of Jacksonville, Florida for $18.5 million.  245 Riverside contains approximately 135,000 square feet of office space.  An additional $1.6 million is expected to be spent for closing costs, building improvements, leasing costs and tenant improvements during the first two years of ownership.  In connection with the purchase, Fund II placed a $9.3 million non-recourse first mortgage loan secured by the property with an initial thirty-six month interest only period and a maturity date of March 31, 2019.  The mortgage loan has a stated rate of LIBOR plus 200 basis points.  In connection with the mortgage loan, Fund II entered into an interest rate swap agreement that fixes the interest rate at 5.3% through September 30, 2018.  Parkway’s equity contribution of $2.8 million was funded through availability under the Company’s credit facility.  Parkway’s effective ownership interest in this asset is 30%.

On April 8, 2011, Fund II purchased Corporate Center Four at International Plaza (“Corporate Center Four”) located in the Westshore submarket of Tampa, Florida for $45.0 million.  Corporate Center Four contains approximately 250,000 square feet of office space.  An additional $5.6 million is expected to be spent for closing costs, building improvements, leasing costs and tenant improvements during the first two years of ownership.  In connection with the purchase, Fund II placed a $22.5 million non-recourse first mortgage loan secured by the property with an initial thirty-six month interest only period and a maturity date of April 8, 2019.  The mortgage loan has a stated rate of LIBOR plus 200 basis points.  In connection with the mortgage loan, Fund II entered into an interest rate swap agreement that fixes the interest rate at 5.4% through October 8, 2018.  Parkway’s equity contribution of $6.8 million was funded through availability under the Company’s credit facility.  Parkway’s effective ownership interest in this asset is 30%.

Fund II is under contract to purchase four additional office properties for $316.5 million.  The four properties are located in Philadelphia, Atlanta, Orlando and Tampa.  Once these investments are completed, this will bring Fund II’s total investment to $559.0 million, which represents 75% of the fund’s $750.0 million investment capacity.  An additional $20.9 million is expected to be spent for closing costs, building improvements, leasing costs and tenant improvements during the first two years of ownership.  In connection with the Fund II investments still under contract, Parkway has received a commitment from an institutional investor to invest, simultaneous with closing, approximately $26.0 million in the Company’s existing Series D preferred stock.  The Company expects to complete these investments during the second quarter of 2011.

On April 10, 2011, the Company reached a definitive agreement with Eola Capital (“Eola”) in which Eola would contribute its Property Management Company (the “Management Company”) to Parkway.  Eola’s principals will contribute the Management Company to Parkway for initial consideration of $32.4 million in cash and Eola’s principals will have the opportunity to earn (i) up to 1.574 million units of limited partnership interest in Parkway’s operating partnership (“OP Units”) through an earn-out arrangement and (ii) up to 226,000 additional OP Units through an earn-up arrangement.  To the extent earned, all OP Units will be redeemable for shares of Parkway common stock on a one-for-one basis.  Earn-out and earn-up consideration will be contingent upon the achievement by the Management Company of targeted annual gross fee revenue and/or share price levels during an initial period for the balance of 2011 after closing and a second period for the full calendar year 2012.  Parkway will also have protections against fee income loss in the form of a provision requiring specific payments to Parkway in the event of certain terminations of existing management contracts and a non-compete agreement with regard to the existing management contracts of the Management Company.  The Management Company currently manages assets totaling approximately 11.2 million square feet and produced annual gross fee revenue of approximately $21.0 million during 2010.  Parkway has also received certain short-term options to purchase at a fixed price the Eola principals’ General Partner interest and/or a fee simple interest in three Class A office properties consisting of eight individual buildings totaling 1.5 million square feet located in Jacksonville, Florida; Orlando, Florida and the Washington, DC Metro area.  Additionally, Eola principals have agreed to cooperate with Parkway to obtain options for Parkway to acquire, at a price to be determined by negotiation with Eola’s limited partners, three additional Class A office properties located in Parkway’s core markets totaling 579,000 square feet.  Parkway believes these options provide a potential opportunity for further growth, but these options may not be exercised.  Parkway expects to fund the cash consideration for the Management Company contribution with operating cash flow, proceeds from the disposition of office properties and amounts available on the credit facilities.

On May 5, 2011, the Company classified 233 North Michigan in Chicago, Illinois as held for sale as a result of $17.0 million in earnest money related to the sale becoming non-refundable to the buyer.  233 North Michigan is under contract for a gross sales price of $162.2 million.  The Company plans to repay the $84.6 million first mortgage that is secured by the property upon closing.  Parkway expects to receive net cash proceeds from the sale after the repayment of the first mortgage of approximately $75.5 million, which will be used to reduce amounts outstanding under the Company’s credit facility.  The Company estimates that it will recognize a gain on the sale of real estate from discontinued operations of approximately $2.6 million in the second quarter of 2011.

During the three months ending March 31, 2011, the Company capitalized building improvements of $6.0 million and recorded depreciation expense of $18.5 million related to its office and parking properties.

Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures.  Investments in unconsolidated joint ventures decreased $1.1 million or 38.9% during the three months ended March 31, 2011.  The decrease is due to Parkway’s purchase of its partner’s 50% interest in the Wink JV and distributions received from two unconsolidated joint ventures.

Rents Receivable and Other Assets.  For the three months ended March 31, 2011, rents receivable and other assets increased $8.5 million or 6.5%.  The net increase is primarily due to the increase in the straight line rent receivable balance, mainly caused by one large lease renewal and an increase in lease costs related to the purchase price allocation of two office properties, offset by the release of a non-refundable earnest money deposit in connection with the purchase of 3344 Peachtree.

Intangible Assets, Net. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, intangible assets net of related amortization increased $11.0 million or 21.7% and was primarily due to the purchase of two office properties offset by the effect of amortization of the existing intangible assets for the period.

Cash and Cash Equivalents.  Cash and cash equivalents increased $54.5 million or 277.0% during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and is primarily due to equity contributions from Fund II’s limited partners for the purchase of office properties.

Notes Payable to Banks. Notes payable to banks increased $55.7 million or 50.3% during the three months ended March 31, 2011. At March 31, 2011, notes payable to banks totaled $166.6 million and the net increase is attributable to advances under the credit facilities to make investments in and improvements to office properties.

On January 31, 2011, the Company closed a new $190.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility and a new $10.0 million unsecured working capital revolving credit facility. The new credit facilities have an initial term of three years and replaced the existing unsecured revolving credit facility, term loan and working capital facility that were scheduled to mature on April 27, 2011.  The Company had a $100.0 million interest rate swap associated with the credit facilities that expired March 31, 2011, locking LIBOR at 3.635%.  Wells Fargo Securities and JP Morgan Securities LLC acted as Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Book Runners on the unsecured revolving credit facility.  In addition, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. acted as Administration Agent and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. acted as Syndication Agent. Other participating lenders include PNC Bank, N.A., Bank of America, N.A., US Bank, N.A., Trustmark National Bank, and BancorpSouth Bank.  The working capital revolving credit facility was provided solely by PNC Bank, N.A.

Mortgage Notes Payable. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, mortgage notes payable increased $103.1 million or 13.3% and is due to the placement of first mortgage debt on two Fund II properties totaling $19.3 million and the assumption of the $87.2 million first mortgage loan related to the purchase of 3344 Peachtree, offset by scheduled principal payments of $3.4 million.

On January 21, 2011, in connection with its purchase of 3344 Peachtree in Atlanta, Georgia, Fund II assumed the $89.6 million existing non-recourse first mortgage loan, which matures on October 1, 2017, and carries a fixed interest rate of 4.8%.  In accordance with GAAP, the mortgage loan was recorded at $87.2 million to reflect the fair value of the instrument based on a market interest rate of 5.25% on the date of purchase.

On February 18, 2011, Fund II obtained a $10.0 million mortgage loan secured by Carmel Crossing, a 326,000 square foot office complex in Charlotte, North Carolina.  The mortgage loan has a fixed rate of 5.5% and is interest only through maturity at March 10, 2020. Parkway received $2.4 million in net proceeds from the loan, which represents its 30% equity investment in the property.  The proceeds were used to reduce amounts outstanding under the Company’s credit facility.

On March 31, 2011, Fund II obtained a $9.3 million mortgage loan secured by 245 Riverside, a 135,000 square foot office property in Jacksonville, Florida.  The mortgage has a stated rate of LIBOR plus 200 basis points, has an initial thirty-six month interest only period and a maturity of March 31, 2019.  In connection with this mortgage, Fund II entered into an interest rate swap that fixes the interest rate at 5.3% through September 30, 2018.

On April 8, 2011, Fund II obtained a $22.5 million mortgage loan secured by Corporate Center Four, a 250,000 square foot office property in Tampa, Florida.  The mortgage has a stated rate of LIBOR plus 200 basis points, an initial thirty-six month interest only period and a maturity of April 8, 2019.  In connection with this mortgage, Fund II entered into an interest rate swap that fixes the interest rate at 5.4% through October 8, 2018.

The Company expects to continue seeking primarily fixed-rate, non-recourse mortgage financing with maturities from five to ten years typically amortizing over 25 to 30 years on select office building investments as additional capital is needed.  The Company monitors a number of leverage and other financial metrics defined in the loan agreements for the Company’s unsecured credit facility and working capital unsecured credit facility, which include the Company’s total debt to total asset value.  In addition, the Company monitors interest, fixed charge and modified fixed charge coverage ratios as well as the net debt to gross asset value ratio and the net debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) multiple.  The interest coverage ratio is computed by comparing the cash interest accrued to 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 modified fixed charge coverage ratio is computed by comparing cash interest accrued and preferred dividends paid to EBITDA.  The debt to EBITDA multiple is computed by comparing Parkway’s share of total debt to EBITDA computed for a trailing 12-month period adjusted for any investment activity. Management believes all of the leverage and other financial metrics it monitors, including those discussed above, provide useful information on total debt levels as well as the Company’s ability to cover interest, principal and/or preferred dividend payments with current income.  The Company targets a net debt to gross asset value of 50% or less and a net debt to EBITDA multiple of 6.5 times or less.

 (1) Parkway defines EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, as net income before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, losses on early extinguishment of debt and other gains and losses. EBITDA, as calculated by us, is not comparable to EBITDA reported by other REITs that do not define EBITDA exactly as we do.


 
Page 26 of 37

 

The Company believes that EBITDA helps investors and Parkway’s management analyze the Company’s ability to service debt and pay cash distributions.  However, the material limitations associated with using EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure compared to cash flows provided by operating, investing and financing activities are that EBITDA does not reflect the Company’s historical cash expenditures or future cash requirements for working capital, capital expenditures or the cash required to make interest and principal payments on the Company’s outstanding debt.  Although EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, the Company compensates for the limitations by using EBITDA only to supplement GAAP financial measures.  Additionally, the Company believes that investors should consider EBITDA in conjunction with net income and the other required GAAP measures of its performance and liquidity to improve their understanding of Parkway’s operating results and liquidity.

Parkway views EBITDA primarily as a liquidity measure and, as such, the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to it is cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities.  Because EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, it should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income, net income, or cash flows provided by operating, investing and financing activities prepared in accordance with GAAP.  The following table reconciles EBITDA to cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 (in thousands):

Results of Operations

Comments are for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Net loss attributable to common stockholders for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $6.8 million ($0.32 per basic common share) as compared to net income attributable to common stockholders of $1.3 million ($0.07 per basic common share) for the three months ended March 31, 2010.  The primary reason for the decrease in net income attributable to common stockholders for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the same period for 2010 is an increase in depreciation and amortization of $2.3 million.  A discussion of other variances for income and expense items that comprise net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders is discussed in detail below.

Office and Parking Properties. The analysis below includes changes attributable to same-store properties and dispositions of office properties.  Same-store properties are consolidated properties that the Company owned for the current and prior year reporting periods, excluding properties classified as discontinued operations.  At March 31, 2011, same-store properties consisted of 62 properties comprising 12.8 million square feet.

The following table represents revenue from office and parking properties for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 (in thousands):

Revenue from office and parking properties for same-store properties decreased $5.0 million or 7.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to the same period for 2010.  The primary reason for the decrease is due to a decrease in lease termination fee income for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to March 31, 2010.

Property operating expenses for same-store properties decreased $749,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to the same period of 2010.  The primary reason for the decrease is due to a decrease in ad valorem taxes.

Depreciation and amortization expense attributable to office and parking properties increased $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to the same period for 2010.  The primary reason

 
Page 28 of 37

 

for the increase is due to the purchase of four office properties during 2010 and three office properties during 2011.

Share-Based Compensation Expense. Compensation expense related to restricted shares and deferred incentive share units of $407,000 and $63,000 was recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  Total compensation expense related to nonvested awards not yet recognized was $3.2 million at March 31, 2011.  The weighted average period over which the expense is expected to be recognized is approximately 2.5 years.  For the remainder of 2011, the Company expects to recognize approximately $1.2 million of additional compensation expense on nonvested awards.

On January 9, 2011, 25,935 restricted shares vested and were issued to officers of the Company due to the achievement of performance goals established in 2009 by the Board of Directors.

On January 12, 2011, 27,125 restricted shares vested and were issued to officers of the Company.  These shares were granted in January 2007 and vested four years from the grant date.

On January 14, 2011, the Board of Directors approved 55,623 FOCUS Plan long-term equity incentive awards to officers of the Company.  The long-term equity incentive awards are valued at $736,000 which equates to an average price per share of $13.23 and consist of 25,620 time-based awards, 16,883 market condition awards subject to an absolute total return goal, and 13,120 market condition awards subject to a relative total return goal.  These shares will be accounted for as equity-classified awards.

The time-based awards granted as part of the FOCUS Plan will vest ratably over four years from the date the shares were granted.  The market condition awards granted as part of the FOCUS Plan are contingent on the Company meeting goals for compounded annual total return to stockholders (“TRS”) over the three year period beginning July 1, 2010.  The market condition goals are based upon (i) the Company’s absolute compounded annual TRS; and (ii) the Company’s absolute compounded annual TRS relative to the compounded annual return of the MSCI US REIT (“RMS”) Index calculated on a gross basis, as follows:

 
Threshold
Target
Maximum
Absolute Return Goal
10%
12%
14%
Relative Return Goal
RMS + 100 bps
RMS + 200 bps
RMS + 300 bps

With respect to the absolute return goal, 15% of the award is earned if the Company achieves threshold performance and a cumulative 60% is earned for target performance.  With respect to the relative return goal, 20% of the award is earned if the Company achieves threshold performance and a cumulative 55% is earned for target performance.  In each case, 100% of the award is earned if the Company achieves maximum performance or better.  To the extent actually earned, the market condition awards will vest 50% on each of July 15, 2013 and 2014.

The total compensation expense for the long-term equity incentive awards granted under the FOCUS Plan is based upon the fair value of the shares on the grant date, adjusted for estimated forfeitures.  The grant date fair value for awards that are subject to a market condition are determined using a simulation pricing model developed to specifically accommodate the unique features of the awards.

The FOCUS Plan also includes a long-term cash incentive that was designed to reward significant outperformance over the three year period beginning July 1, 2010.  The performance goals for actual payment under the long-term cash incentive will require the Company to (i) achieve an absolute compounded annual TRS that exceeds 14% AND (ii) achieve an absolute compounded annual TRS that exceeds the compounded annual return of the RMS by at least 500 basis points.  Notwithstanding the above goals, in the event the Company achieves an absolute compounded annual TRS that exceeds 19%, then the Company must achieve an absolute compounded annual TRS that exceeds the compounded annual return of the RMS by at least 600 basis points.  The aggregate amount of the cash incentive earned would increase with corresponding increases in the absolute compounded annual TRS achieved by the Company.  There will be a cap on the aggregate cash incentive earned in the amount of $7.1 million.  Achievement of the maximum cash incentive would equate to an absolute compounded annual TRS that approximates 23%, provided that the absolute compounded annual TRS exceeds the compounded annual return of the RMS by at least 600 basis points.  The total compensation expense for the long-term cash incentive awards granted under the FOCUS Plan is based upon the estimated fair value of the award on the grant date and adjusted as necessary each reporting period.  The long-term cash incentive awards are accounted for as a liability-classified award on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.  The grant date and quarterly fair value estimates for awards that are subject to a market condition are determined using a simulation pricing model developed to specifically accommodate the unique features of the awards.

Mortgage interest expense increased $525,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to the same period for 2010, and is primarily due to new loans obtained or assumed during 2011 and 2010.

Credit facility interest expense increased $583,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to the same period of 2010, and is due to an increase in average borrowings of $19.6 million and an increase in the weighted average interest rate of 1.1%.  The increase in average borrowings is due to advances on the credit facility to fund improvements to real estate and the Company’s share of equity contributions to purchase properties through Fund II.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Statement of Cash Flows.  Cash and cash equivalents were $74.2 million and $17.6 million at March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  Included in cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2011, was $58.0 million in funds for the purchase of Corporate Center Four at International Plaza and mortgage loan proceeds from 245 Riverside which were distributed to the Fund II partners during the second quarter.  Cash used in operating activities was $5.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to cash flows provided by operating activities of $8.3 million for the same period of 2010.  The decrease in cash flows from operating activities of $13.4 million is primarily attributable to the effect of the timing of receipt of revenues and payment of operating expenses and lease costs.

Cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 were $95.2 million and $5.1 million, respectively.  The increase in cash used in investing activities of $90.0 million is primarily due to the purchases of office properties in 2011.

Cash flows provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2011 were $154.8 million compared to cash used in financing activities of  $6.3 million, for the same period of 2010.  The increase in cash flows provided by financing activities of $161.1 million is primarily attributable to additional bank borrowings and contributions from non-controlling interest partners to purchase office properties.

Liquidity. The Company plans to continue pursuing the acquisition of additional investments that meet the Company’s investment criteria and intends to use operating cash flow, proceeds from the refinancing of mortgages, proceeds from the sale of non-strategic assets, proceeds from the sale of portions of owned assets through joint ventures, possible sales of securities, cash balances and the Company’s credit facilities to fund those acquisitions.

The Company’s cash flows are exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of its credit facility 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 an unsecured revolving credit facility.

At March 31, 2011, the Company had a total of $166.6 million outstanding under the following credit facilities (in thousands):

(1) The Company had a $100.0 million interest rate swap associated with the credit facilities that expired on March 31, 2011, and locked LIBOR at 3.635%.  Excluding the impact of the interest rate swap, the interest rate on the new credit facilities is based on LIBOR plus 275 to 350 basis points, depending upon overall Company leverage, with the current rate set at 325 basis points.  Additionally, the Company pays fees on the unused portion of the credit facilities ranging between 40 and 50 basis points based upon usage of the aggregate commitment, with the current rate set at 40 basis points.

On January 31, 2011, the Company closed a new $190.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility and a new $10.0 million unsecured working capital revolving credit facility.  The new credit facilities have an initial term of three years and replaced the existing unsecured revolving credit facility, term loan and working capital facility that were scheduled to mature on April 27, 2011.  The Company had a $100.0 million interest rate swap associated with the credit facilities that expired March 31, 2011, and locked LIBOR at 3.635%.  Wells Fargo Securities and JP Morgan Securities LLC acted as Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Book Runners on the unsecured revolving credit facility.  In addition, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. acted as Administration Agent and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. acted as Syndication Agent.  Other participating lenders include PNC Bank, N.A., Bank of America, N.A., US Bank, N.A., Trustmark National Bank, and BancorpSouth Bank.  The working capital revolving credit facility was provided solely by PNC Bank, N.A.

During 2008 and 2011, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements.  The Company designated the swaps as cash flow hedges of the variable interest rates on the Company’s borrowings under the Wells Fargo unsecured revolving credit facility, a portion of the debt secured by the Pinnacle at Jackson Place and the debt secured by 245 Riverside.  These swaps are considered to be fully effective and changes in the fair value of the swaps are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).  The Company’s interest rate hedge contracts at March 31, 2011 and 2010 are summarized as follows (in thousands):

On March 31, 2011, Fund II entered into an interest rate swap with the lender of the loan secured by 245 Riverside in Jacksonville, Florida, for a $9.3 million notional amount that fixes the interest rate at 5.3% through September 30, 2018.  The Company designated the swap as a cash flow hedge of the variable interest rate associated with the mortgage loan.

On April 8, 2011, Fund II entered into an interest rate swap with the lender of the loan secured by Corporate Center Four in Tampa, Florida, for a $22.5 million notional amount that fixes the interest rate at 5.4% through October 8, 2018.  The Company designated the swap as a cash flow hedge of the variable interest rate associated with the mortgage loan.

At March 31, 2011, the Company had $876.6 million in mortgage notes payable with an average interest rate of 5.8% secured by office properties and $166.6 million drawn under the Company’s unsecured credit facility.  Parkway’s pro rata share of unconsolidated joint venture debt was $2.5 million with an average interest rate of 5.8% at March 31, 2011.

The Company monitors a number of leverage and other financial metrics, including the net debt to total asset value ratio, as defined in the loan agreements for the Company’s credit facility.  In addition, the Company also monitors interest, fixed charge and modified fixed charge coverage ratios, as well as the net debt to EBITDA multiple.  The interest coverage ratio is computed by comparing the cash interest accrued to EBITDA. The interest coverage ratio for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was 2.47 and 3.10 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 EBITDA.  The fixed charge coverage ratio for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was 1.67 and 2.16 times, respectively.  The modified fixed charge coverage ratio is computed by comparing the cash interest accrued and preferred dividends paid to EBITDA.  The modified fixed charge coverage ratio for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was 2.05 and 2.78 times, respectively.  The net debt to EBITDA multiple is computed by comparing Parkway’s share of net debt to EBITDA for a trailing 12-month period, as adjusted for investing activities.  The net debt to EBITDA multiple for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was 6.63 and 6.14 times, respectively.  Management believes various leverage and other financial metrics it monitors provide useful information on total debt levels as well as the Company’s ability to cover interest, principal and/or preferred dividend payments.

*Remaining nine months

On January 21, 2011, in connection with its purchase of 3344 Peachtree in Atlanta, Georgia, Fund II assumed the $89.6 million existing non-recourse first mortgage loan, which matures on October 1, 2017, and carries a fixed interest rate of 4.8%.  In accordance with GAAP, the mortgage loan was recorded at $87.2 million to reflect the value of the instrument based on a market interest rate of 5.25% on the date of purchase.

On February 18, 2011, Fund II obtained a $10.0 million mortgage loan secured by Carmel Crossing, a 326,000 square foot office complex in Charlotte, North Carolina.  The mortgage loan has a fixed rate of 5.5% and is interest only through maturity at March 10, 2020. Parkway received $2.4 million in net proceeds from the loan, which represents its 30% equity investment in the property.  The proceeds were used to reduce amounts outstanding under the Company’s credit facility.

 
Page 32 of 37

 

On March 31, 2011, Fund II obtained a $9.3 million mortgage loan secured by 245 Riverside, a 135,000 square foot office property in Jacksonville, Florida.  The mortgage has a stated rate of LIBOR plus 200 basis points, has an initial thirty-six month interest only period and a maturity of March 31, 2019.  In connection with
this mortgage, Fund II entered into an interest rate swap that fixes the interest rate at 5.3% through September 30, 2018.

On April 8, 2011, Fund II obtained a $22.5 million mortgage loan secured by Corporate Center Four, a 250,000 square foot office property in Tampa, Florida.  The mortgage has a stated rate of LIBOR plus 200 basis points, an initial thirty-six month interest only period and a maturity of April 8, 2019.  In connection with this mortgage, Fund II entered into an interest rate swap that fixes the interest rate at 5.4% through October 8, 2018.

In 2011, the Company has $102.7 million in remaining secured debt maturities.  The Company intends to evaluate each maturity throughout the year and may pursue either dispositions, refinancing with non-recourse, fixed rate mortgage loans, or paying down the existing mortgage loans with available proceeds under the Company’s credit facility.  On May 5, 2011, the Company classified 233 North Michigan in Chicago, Illinois as held for sale as a result of $17.0 million in earnest money related to the sale becoming non-refundable to the buyer.  233 North Michigan is under contract for a gross sales price of $162.2 million.  The Company plans to repay the $84.6 million first mortgage that is secured by the property and scheduled to mature in July 2011, upon closing.  Parkway expects to receive net cash proceeds from the sale after the repayment of the first mortgage of approximately $75.5 million, which will be used to reduce amounts outstanding under the Company’s credit facility.

The Company presently has plans to make recurring capital expenditures to its office properties in 2011 of approximately $46.0 to $49.0 million on a consolidated basis, with approximately $34.0 to $37.0 million representing Parkway’s proportionate share of recurring capital improvements.  During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company incurred $8.7 million in recurring capital expenditures on a consolidated basis, with $7.2 million representing Parkway’s proportionate share.  These costs include tenant improvements, leasing costs and recurring building improvements.  Additionally, the Company plans to make improvements related to upgrades on properties acquired in recent years that were anticipated at the time of purchase and major renovations that are nonrecurring in nature to office properties in 2011 of approximately $6.0 to $7.0 million with approximately $3.0 to $4.0 million representing Parkway’s proportionate share.  During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company incurred $759,000 related to upgrades and major renovations, with $273,000 representing Parkway’s proportionate share.  All such improvements are expected to be financed by cash flow from the properties, capital expenditure escrow accounts, advances from the Company’s credit facility and contributions from partners.

The Company anticipates that its current cash balance, operating cash flows, contributions from partners and borrowings (including borrowings under the working capital credit facilities) will be adequate to pay the Company’s (i) operating and administrative expenses, (ii) debt service obligations, (iii) distributions to stockholders, (iv) capital improvements, and (v) normal repair and maintenance expenses at its properties, both in the short and long term.  In addition, the Company may use proceeds from sales of assets, sales of equity securities and borrowings to fund property acquisitions and pay debts as they mature.

Contractual Obligations

See information appearing under the caption “Financial Condition - Notes Payable to Banks and Mortgage Notes Payable” in Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for a discussion of changes in long-term debt since December 31, 2010.

Funds From Operations

Management believes that funds from operations attributable to common stockholders (“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. Funds from operations is defined by NAREIT as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses from sales of property and extraordinary items under GAAP, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments to derive the Company’s pro rata share of FFO of consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures.  Further, the Company does not adjust FFO to eliminate the effects of non-recurring charges.  The Company believes that FFO is a meaningful supplemental measure of its operating performance because historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, as reflected through depreciation and amortization expenses.  However, since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market and other conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient.  Thus, NAREIT created FFO as a supplemental measure of operating performance for real estate investment trusts that excludes historical cost depreciation and amortization, among other items, from net income, as defined by GAAP. The Company believes that the use of FFO, combined with the required GAAP presentations, has been beneficial in improving the understanding of operating results of real estate investment trusts among the investing public and making comparisons of operating results among such companies more meaningful. 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. 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.

Inflation

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.  Additionally, most of the leases require the customers to pay their pro rata share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes, utilities and insurance, thereby reducing the Company’s exposure to increases in operating expenses resulting from inflation.  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 (including the use of the words anticipate, believe, forecast, intends, expects, project or similar expressions) or intentions or those pertaining to the Company’s projected capital improvements, expected sources of financing, expectations as to the timing of acquisitions or dispositions, and descriptions relating to these expectations.

Risks associated with our property management business could adversely affect our results of operations by decreasing our revenues.

In addition to the risks we face as a result of our ownership of real estate, we face risks relating to the property management business of the Company, including risks that management contracts or service agreements with third-party owners will be terminated and lost to competitors and/or contracts will not be renewed upon expiration or will not be available for renewal on terms consistent with current terms.  Each of these developments could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We face risks associated with property acquisitions and other business combinations.

Our acquisition activities and their successes are subject to the following risks:

·  
when we are able to locate a desired property, competition from other real estate investors may significantly increase the purchase price;

·  
acquired properties and business combinations may fail to perform as expected;

·  
acquired properties or management contracts may be located in new markets where we face risks associated with an incomplete knowledge or understanding of the local market, a limited number of established business relationships in the area and a relative unfamiliarity with local governmental and permitting procedures; and

·  
we may be unable to quickly and efficiently integrate new acquisitions into existing operations, and results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.
