       months ended June 30, 2002.  FAD totaled $13,461,000 for the six months

    Acquisitions and Sales

    *  On May 28, 2003, the Company sold an 80% interest in two Jackson,

       Mississippi, assets, River Oaks Place and the IBM Building, to

       approximately 35 individual investors.  Proceeds from the sale were

       used to reduce short-term borrowings under the Company's lines of

       credit pending reinvestment.  The Company continues to provide

       management and leasing services for the building.  The Company

       recognized a gain on this transaction of $4,183,000 in the second

       quarter.



    *  On June 26, 2003, the Company sold .7407 acres of land in Houston Texas

       for cash proceeds of $451,000.  Proceeds from the sale were used to

       reduce short-term borrowings under the Company's lines of credit.  The

       Company recognized a gain on this sale of land of $362,000 in the

       second quarter.



    *  On August 1, 2003, the Company sold its investment in the BB&T

       Financial Center in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, to Cabot Investment

       Properties for $27.5 million plus the assumption of future tenant

       improvements of approximately $500,000.  Parkway Realty Services will

       continue to manage and lease the property under a ten-year management

       agreement and received an acquisition fee of $186,000, which will be

       included in income in the third quarter.  The Company expects to record

       a gain on this sale of approximately $5 million in the third quarter.

       Proceeds from the sale were used to reduce amounts outstanding under

       bank lines of credit, pending the reinvestment in operating properties,

       and towards the early extinguishment of the $11,201,000 mortgage

       secured by the BB&T Financial Center.



    Operations and Leasing

    *  Parkway's customer retention rate for the three months ending June 30,

       2003 was 66% compared to 71% for the quarter ending Mach 31, 2003 and

       58% for the quarter ending June 30, 2002.  Customer retention for the

       six months ending June 30, 2003 was 69% compared to 71% for the six

       months ending June 30, 2002.



    *  As of July 1, 2003, occupancy of the office portfolio was 91.8%

       compared to 92.1% as of April 1, 2003 and 92.3% as of July 1, 2002.



    *  During the quarter ending June 30, 2003, leases were renewed or

       expanded on 264,000 net rentable square feet at an average rental rate

       decrease of .7% and a cost of $1.84 per square foot per year of the

       lease term in committed tenant improvements and leasing commissions.

       New leases were signed during the quarter on 106,000 net rentable

       square feet at a cost of $2.83 per square foot per year of the lease

       term in committed tenant improvements and leasing commissions.



    *  Same store assets produced a decrease in net operating income ("NOI")

       of $527,000 or 3% during the quarter compared to the second quarter of

       2002.  The decrease in same store revenue was attributable mainly to a

       1.8% decrease in occupancy and a rental rate decrease of $1.86 per

       square foot.  The increase in same store operating expenses is mainly

       attributable to increases in repairs and maintenance, utilities, and

       insurance.  Same store assets produced a decrease in NOI of $1,239,000

       or 3.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to the same

       period of the prior year.



    *  During the second quarter and through August 1, 2003, the Company

       collected all rents from WorldCom, Inc. or its subsidiaries as called

       for under current leases.  The Company currently recognizes rental

       income from these leases on the cash basis.



    Capital Markets and Financing

    *  The Company's previously announced cash dividend of $.65 per share for

       the quarter ended June 30, 2003 represents a payout of approximately

       56% of FFO per diluted share.  The second quarter dividend was paid on

       June 27, 2003 and equates to an annualized dividend of $2.60 per share,

       a yield of 6.0% on the closing stock price on August 1, 2003 of $43.60.



    *  The Company closed an $18,800,000 non-recourse first mortgage secured

       by two properties in Houston and one property in Phoenix on April 18,

       2003.  The mortgage, which is interest only for the first three years,

       has a fixed interest rate of 5.27% with a 7-year term and a 25-year

       amortization.  Proceeds from the mortgage were used to reduce amounts

       outstanding under the Company's lines of credit, pending future

       reinvestment in operating properties.



    *  On May 8, 2003, the stockholders of the Company approved Parkway's 2003

       Equity Incentive Plan that authorized the grant of restricted shares of

       Common Stock and deferred share units payable in Common Stock to

       employees of the Company.  The stockholders approved the January 2,

       2003 issuance of 132,000 shares of restricted stock to certain officers

       of the Company effective May 8, 2003.  The stock price on the date of

       grant was $35.19, and the vesting period for the stock is 7 years or 36

       months if certain operating results are achieved by the Company in the

       VALUE2 Plan.



    *  Simultaneous with the closing of the sale of the Company's 80% interest

       in the IBM Building and River Oaks Place, the partnership that owns the

       properties closed an $11.525 million mortgage.  The non-recourse first

       mortgage has a fixed interest rate of 5.84%, amortizes over 28 years

       and matures in ten years.



    *  During the second quarter, the Company completed a public offering of

       2,400,000 shares of 8.0% Series D Cumulative Redeemable Preferred

       Stock.  The Series D Preferred Stock has a $25 liquidation value per

       share and will be redeemable at the option of the Company on or after

       June 27, 2008.  The net proceeds from the offering of $58 million were

       used to redeem the Company's 2,650,000 shares of 8.75% Series A

       Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock. The Series A Preferred Stock

       also had a $25 per share liquidation value. In connection with the

       redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock, a $2,619,000 ($.21 per

       diluted share) non-cash adjustment for original issue costs was

       recorded in the second quarter.  The non-cash adjustment for original

       issue costs does not impact FFO.



    *  As of June 30, 2003 the Company's debt-to-total market capitalization

       ratio was 38.4% compared to 40.7% as of March 31, 2003.  The Company

       anticipates that the debt-to-total market capitalization will increase

       to approximately 45% upon reinvestment of the proceeds from the joint

       ventures and equity issuance.



    Outlook for 2003

    The Company is forecasting FFO per diluted share of $4.67 to $4.75 and

earnings per diluted share ("EPS") of $2.92 to $2.97 for 2003.  The

reconciliation of forecasted earnings per diluted share to forecasted FFO per

diluted share is as follows:



    Guidance for 2003                                     Range

    Fully diluted EPS                                 $2.92 - $2.97

    Plus:  Real estate

     depreciation and amortization                    $2.21 - $2.23

    Plus:  Depreciation on unconsolidated

     joint ventures                                   $0.16 - $0.17

    Plus:  Original issuance cost of redeemed

     preferred stock                                  $0.21 - $0.21

    Less:  Gain on sale of joint ventures and

     real estate                                     ($0.83 - $0.83)



    Fully diluted FFO per share                       $4.67 - $4.75



    The following assumptions were used in making this forecast:

    *  Occupancy of approximately 92% for the remainder of 2003.

    *  Same store net operating income growth in the range of zero to a

       negative 3%.

    *  Average interest rate of 2.9% on short-term, floating rate debt in the

       3rd and 4th quarters.

    *  Proceeds from the joint ventures, the equity offering, the issuance of

       common shares, and the BB&T sale were assumed to be reinvested at a

       9.0% to 9.5% cap rate with $50 million to be invested on September 1st

       and $80 million on October 1st.   No additional acquisitions or

       dispositions were assumed in the 2003 budget.



    Steven G. Rogers, President and Chief Executive Officer stated,

"Operations for the second quarter were flat reflecting a continuation of the

difficult office leasing environment.  Occupancy held steady at 91.8% and

tenant retention was slightly below our target at 66%.  The VALUE2 Plan is off

to a strong start with the joint ventures and recent asset sales.  This,

coupled with the other positive capital events, enables us to continue to

profitably recycle the assets within our portfolio.  For the balance of the

year we will focus our energy on making sound investments with the proceeds

from recent capital events, as well as continue our focus on occupancy and

operations."



    Additional Information

    January 1, 2003 marked the beginning of Parkway's VALUE2 Operating Plan,

holding firm to the core Values as espoused in the Parkway Commitment to

Excellence.  The Company plans to create value by Venturing with best

partners, Asset recycling, Leverage neutral growth, Uncompromising focus on

operations, and providing an Equity return to its shareholders that is 10%

greater than that of its peer group, the NAREIT Office Index.  Equity return

is defined as growth in FFO per diluted share.

    (1)  FFO and FAD is included herein because we believe that these measures

    are helpful to investors and our management as measures of the performance

    of an equity REIT.  These measures, along with cash flow from operating

    activities, financing and investing activities, provide investors with an

    indication of our ability to incur and service debt, to make capital

    expenditures and to fund other cash needs.

        Parkway believes it computes FFO in accordance with standards

    established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts

    ("NAREIT"), which may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs

    that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT

    definition.  FFO is defined as net income, computed in accordance with

    generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), excluding gains or

    losses from the sales of properties, plus real estate related depreciation

    and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and

    joint ventures.

        There is not a standard definition established for FAD.  Therefore,

    our measure of FAD may not be comparable to FAD reported by other

    REITs.  We define FAD as FFO increased by amortization of restricted stock

    grants and reduced by straight line rents, non-revenue enhancing capital

    expenditures for building improvements, tenant improvements and leasing

    costs.  Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are

    included in the computation of FAD on the same basis.

    (1)  EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, means operating income before

    mortgage and other interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and

    amortization.  We believe that EBITDA is useful to investors and Parkway's

    management as an indication of the Company's ability to service debt and

    pay cash distributions.  EBITDA, as calculated by us, is not comparable to

    EBITDA reported by other REITs that do not define EBITDA exactly as we do.

    EBITDA does not represent cash generated from operating activities in

    accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and should not

    be considered an alternative to operating income or net income as an

    indicator of performance or as an alternative to cash flows from operating

    activities as an indicator of liquidity.

    (2)  Parkway defines Same Store Properties as those properties that were

    owned for the entire three-month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002.

    Same Store net operating income ("SSNOI") includes income from real estate

    operations less property operating expenses (before interest and

    depreciation and amortization) for Same Store Properties.  SSNOI as

    computed by Parkway may not be comparable to SSNOI reported by other REITs

    that do not define the measure exactly as we do.  SSNOI is a supplemental

    industry reporting measurement used to evaluate the performance of the

    Company's investments in real estate assets.  The following table is a

    reconciliation of net income to SSNOI:
