    (Logo:  http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20030513/PARKLOGO)
    Consolidated Financial Results
     - Net income available to common shareholders for the three months ended
       September 30, 2003 was $10,779,000 ($.96 per diluted share) compared to
       $4,555,000 ($.48 per diluted share) for the three months ended
       September 30, 2002.  Net income available to common shareholders for
       the nine months ended September 30, 2003 was $24,402,000 ($2.35 per
       diluted share) compared to $15,261,000 ($1.61 per diluted share) for
       the nine months ended September 30, 2002.  Gains on the sale of joint
       venture interests and real estate of $5,020,000 and $10,661,000 were
       included in net income available to common shareholders for the three
       months and nine months ended September 30, 2003, respectively.  A net
       gain on the sale of a joint venture interest and real estate of
       $501,000 was included in net income available to common shareholders
       for the nine months ended September 30, 2002.  A $2,619,000 ($.21 per
       diluted share) non-cash charge for original issue costs related to the
       redemption of Series A Preferred Stock was recorded during the nine
       months ended September 30, 2003. The Series A Preferred Stock was
       originally issued in April of 1998.
     - Funds from operations ("FFO") totaled $13,014,000 ($1.14 per diluted
       share) for the three months ended September 30, 2003 compared to
       $11,557,000 ($1.13 per diluted share) for the three months ended
       September 30, 2002.  FFO totaled $36,245,000 ($3.30 per diluted share)
       for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 compared to $35,968,000
       ($3.50 per diluted share) for the nine months ended September 30, 2002.
     - FFO applicable to common shareholders for the three months and six
       months ending June 30, 2003 has been revised and reduced by original
       issue costs of $2,619,000 ($.21 per diluted share) associated with the
       second quarter 2003 redemption of Series A Preferred Stock.  On
       July 31, 2003, the SEC announced a position that for purposes of
       calculating earnings per share when there has been a redemption of
       preferred stock, the issuance costs of the preferred stock should be
       removed from the balance sheet in a manner similar to dividends on
       preferred stock, regardless of where in the stockholders' equity
       section those costs were initially classified on issuance.  Prior to
       this announcement, there was diversity in practice.  Consistent with
       the SEC's announcement, for the purposes of computing earnings per
       share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, the Company
       deducted approximately $2,619,000 of issuance costs associated with its
       Series A Preferred stock in determining net income available to common
       stockholders.  The Company, as did other REITs, excluded this deduction
       in computing FFO applicable to common shareholders for the three and
       six months ended June 30, 2003.  However in October, 2003, NAREIT
       announced its position that FFO applicable to common shareholders
       should be reduced for these dividends.  Accordingly, we have revised
       our previous FFO calculations.  Therefore, FFO per diluted share as
       originally reported of $1.16 and $2.38 for the three months and six
       months ending June 30, 2003, respectively, has been revised to $.95 and
       $2.17 for the three months and six months ending June 30, 2003,
       respectively.  There was no adjustment to previously reported earnings
       per share.
     - Funds available for distribution ("FAD") totaled $10,707,000 for the
       three months ended September 30, 2003 compared to $6,539,000 for the
       three months ended September 30, 2002.  FAD totaled $21,549,000 for the
       nine months ended September 30, 2003 compared to $21,996,000 for the
       nine months ended September 30, 2002.  In accordance with the NAREIT
       clarification discussed above, total FAD as originally reported of
       $7,098,000 and $13,461,000 for the three months and six months ending
       June 30, 2003, respectively, has been revised to $4,479,000 and
       $10,842,000 for the three months and six months ending June 30, 2003,
       respectively.

    Acquisitions and Sales
     - 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
       continues to manage and lease the property under a ten-year management
       agreement and recognized a third quarter acquisition fee of $186,000.
       The Company recorded a third quarter gain on this sale of $5,020,000.
       The taxable gain from this sale was deferred through a Section 1031
       like-kind exchange and accordingly, no special dividend of capital gain
       is anticipated.
     - On August 28, 2003, the Company purchased the 88% leased Peachtree
       Dunwoody Pavilion, a 366,000 square foot four-building office campus in
       the Central Perimeter submarket of Atlanta, Georgia for $40 million
       plus $2 million in closing costs and anticipated first year capital
       expenditures and leasing commissions.  Since closing, we are pleased to
       announce the renewal of Cox Communications for 66,000 square feet
       through December 2008.  Simultaneous with this renewal, Auto Trader
       expanded by 22,000 square feet into the former Cox space.
     - On September 12, 2003, the Company purchased the 91% leased Wells Fargo
       Building, a 135,000 square foot, eight-story office building in the
       Northwest Freeway Corridor submarket of Houston, Texas.  The property
       was acquired for $12 million plus $1 million in closing costs and
       anticipated first year capital expenditures and leasing commissions.

    Operations and Leasing
     - Parkway's customer retention rate for the three months ending
       September 30, 2003 was 59% compared to 66% for the quarter ending
       June 30, 2003 and 75% for the quarter ending September 30, 2002.
       Customer retention for the nine months ending September 30, 2003 was
       66% compared to 73% for the nine months ending September 30, 2002.
     - As of October 1, 2003, occupancy of the office portfolio was 91.1%
       compared to 91.8% as of July 1, 2003 and 92.4% as of October 1, 2002.
     - During the quarter ending September 30, 2003, leases were renewed or
       expanded on 187,000 net rentable square feet at an average rental rate
       decrease of 4.7% and a cost of $1.70 per square foot per year of the
       lease term in committed tenant improvements and leasing commissions.
       New leases were signed during the quarter on 101,000 net rentable
       square feet at a cost of $2.21 per square foot per year of the lease
       term in committed tenant improvements and leasing commissions.
     - Same store assets produced a decrease in NOI of $558,000 or 1% for the
       nine months ended September 30, 2003 compared to the same period of the
       prior year.  Same store assets produced an increase in net operating
       income ("NOI") of $680,000 or 3.9% during the quarter compared to the
       third quarter of 2002.  The increase in same store revenue was
       attributable mainly to increased operating expense reimbursements and
       lower bad debt and utility expense.
     - During the third quarter and through November 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.  WorldCom announced during
       the third quarter that its Skytel subsidiary would not be sold and the
       Skytel operations would be consolidated into its Clinton, Mississippi
       facility.  Consequently, we do not expect WorldCom to renew its 156,000
       square foot lease in Jackson, MS when it matures on December 31, 2003.
       The Company currently receives $2,500,000 annually in total revenue
       from this lease.
     - As previously reported, in early 2003, the Company received notice from
       Burlington Industries that they will be exercising an early termination
       right on 137,000 square feet at 400 North Belt in Houston, Texas.
       Burlington will vacate the space effective December 31, 2003.  The
       Company currently receives $2,314,000 annually in total revenue from
       this customer and is aggressively seeking new customers for the space.
       In connection with the early termination, straight line rent receivable
       of $485,000 will be written off in the fourth quarter of 2003.

    Capital Markets and Financing
     - The Company's previously announced cash dividend of $.65 per share for
       the quarter ended September 30, 2003 represents a payout of
       approximately 57% of FFO per diluted share.  The third quarter dividend
       was paid on September 26, 2003 and equates to an annualized dividend of
       $2.60 per share, a yield of 5.9% on the closing stock price on
       October 31, 2003 of $44.05.
     - As of September 30, 2003 the Company's debt-to-total market
       capitalization ratio was 38.0% compared to 38.4% as of June 30, 2003.
       The Company anticipates that the debt-to-total market capitalization
       will increase to approximately 45% upon reinvestment of the remaining
       proceeds from the joint ventures and equity issuance completed earlier
       in the year.
     - During the third quarter of 2003, 200,000 shares of 8.34% Series B
       Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock were converted into 200,000
       shares of common stock.  As of September 30, 2003, there were 1,942,857
       shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding.
     - Through the Company's Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan
       ("DRIP Plan"), 171,845 common shares were sold during the third quarter
       of 2003.  Net proceeds received on the issuance of shares were
       $7,386,000, which equates to an average price per share of $42.98,
       which is net of a 2.2% discount.  For the nine months ending
       September 30, 2003, 177,590 common shares were sold through the DRIP
       Plan for net proceeds of $7,611,000, which equates to an average price
       per share of $42.85, which is net of a 2.1% discount.

    Outlook for 2003
    The Company is forecasting FFO per diluted share of $4.41 to $4.44 and
earnings per diluted share ("EPS") of $2.88 to $2.91 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                                       $2.88 - $2.91
    Plus: Real estate depreciation and amortization         $2.19 - $2.19
    Plus: Depreciation on unconsolidated joint ventures     $0.16 - $0.16
    Less: Gain on sale of joint ventures and real estate   ($0.82 - $0.82)

    Fully diluted FFO per share                             $4.41 - $4.44

    The following assumptions were used in making this forecast:
     - Occupancy of approximately 91% for the 4th quarter;
     - Annual same store net operating income growth in the range of negative
       2% to negative 3%;
     - Average interest rate of 2.5% on short-term, floating rate debt in the
       4th quarter; and,
     - Proceeds from the joint ventures and the issuance of common shares were
       assumed to be reinvested as $40 million at a 9% cap rate on December 1,
       2003 and $80 million during December at an 8.75% cap rate.  No
       additional acquisitions or dispositions were assumed in the 2003
       budget.

    The 2003 projections are lower than previous FFO guidance of $4.67 to
$4.75 per diluted share due to the $.21 per share original issuance cost
discussed earlier, the $.04 per share write off of Burlington's straight line
rent receivable in the fourth quarter and a delay in reinvesting capital into
new acquisitions.

    Outlook for 2004
    The Company is forecasting FFO per diluted share of $4.30 to $4.50 and
earnings per diluted share ("EPS") of $1.82 to $1.92 for 2004.  The
reconciliation of forecasted earnings per diluted share to forecasted FFO per
diluted share is as follows:


    Guidance for 2004                                             Range
    Fully diluted EPS                                         $1.82 - $1.92
    Plus: Real estate depreciation and amortization           $2.16 - $2.23
    Plus: Depreciation on unconsolidated joint ventures       $0.15 - $0.19
    Plus: Diluted share adjustment for convertible preferred  $0.17 - $0.16

    Fully diluted FFO per share                               $4.30 - $4.50

    The following assumptions were used in making this forecast:
     - Occupancy in the range of 88% to 92%, with average occupancy of 90%;
     - Due to the pending vacancies discussed earlier, same store net
       operating income growth in the range of negative 5% to negative 9%;
     - Average interest rate of 3% on short-term, floating rate debt;
     - No additional acquisitions or dispositions of property above that
       projected for 2003; and,
     - No equity offerings or redemptions.
     - Placement of a fixed rate 6% $90 million mortgage on September 1, 2004.

    The decrease in 2004 FFO as compared to 2003 is primarily due to a decline
in net operating income (NOI) at the Skytel building in Jackson of $1,800,000
($.14 per diluted share) and a decline in NOI at 400 North Belt in Houston of
$1,300,000 ($.10 per diluted share).  The $.21 per diluted share original
issuance cost reflected in 2003 FFO will not be repeated in 2004.
    Steven G. Rogers, President and Chief Executive Officer stated, "The
leasing challenges we face in the next year are manageable and well within our
leasing team's ability to backfill.  We are making concrete progress on each
of the prospective vacancies.  I am confident in our ability to meet the
challenge."

    (1)    Funds from operations ("FFO") applicable to common shareholders and

        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, financing and

        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.

    (2)    In accordance with the FASB EITF Topic D-42 "The Effect on the
        Calculation of Earnings per Share for the Redemption or Induced
        Conversion of Preferred Stock," the difference between the redemption
        value and carrying value attributable to issuance costs of the
        preferred shares that were redeemed must be treated as a preferred
        dividend and deducted from net income available to common
        shareholders.  Accordingly, the amount treated as a preferred dividend
        must be deducted from FFO applicable to common shareholders.
        Therefore, FFO applicable to common shareholders for the nine months
        ending September 30, 2003 will be reduced by original issue costs of
        $2,619,000 or $.21 per diluted share associated with the redemption of
        Series A Preferred Stock which occurred during the second quarter of
        2003.  The Series A Preferred Stock was originally issued in April of
        1998.

    (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.

    (1)    Percentage of portfolio based on 2003 net operating income.

    (2)    Parkway defines Same Store Properties as those properties that were
        owned for the entire three-month periods  ended September 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:
