       compared to $45,243,000 ($4.43 per diluted share) for the twelve months
       ended December 31, 2002.  FFO per diluted share for the three months
       and twelve months ended December 31, 2002 as originally reported of
       $1.14 and $4.64 has been revised and reduced to $.93 and $4.43,
       respectively.  Please reference the footnote following the FFO and
       funds available for distribution ("FAD") table of the press
       release for further explanation of the decrease.

     * FAD totaled $8,705,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2003
       compared to $4,618,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2002.
       FAD totaled $30,254,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2003

       twelve months ending December 31, 2002, respectively.  Please reference
       the footnote following the FFO and FAD table of the press release for
       further explanation of the decrease.

    Acquisitions and Sales
     * On November 24, 2003, the Company purchased Carmel Crossing, a 324,000
       square foot, three-building office campus located in the 51 Perimeter
       submarket of Charlotte, North Carolina.  Carmel Crossing is 94% leased
       and was purchased for $41 million plus $1.5 million in closing costs
       and anticipated capital expenditures and leasing commissions during the
       first two years of ownership.

     * On January 29, 2004, the Company purchased Maitland 200, a 206,000
       foot, four-story office building located in the Maitland Center
       submarket of Orlando, Florida.  Maitland 200 is 95% leased and was
       purchased for $26.3 million plus $1.4 million in closing costs and
       anticipated capital expenditures and leasing commissions during the
       first two years of ownership.

     * The Company has completed its due diligence for the $76.3 million
       acquisition of the 410,000 square foot, 92% leased Capital City Plaza
       in the Buckhead sub-market of Atlanta, Georgia. Parkway's request to
       assume an existing first mortgage in the amount of $43 million is under
       review by the lender.  The proposed acquisition, which is projected for
       late March 2004, is subject to customary closing conditions, and there
       can be no assurance that this acquisition will occur.

    Operations and Leasing
     * Parkway's customer retention rate for the three months ending December
       31, 2003 was 48.4% compared to 58.8% for the quarter ending September
       30, 2003 and 65.5% for the quarter ending December 31, 2002.  Customer
       retention for the twelve months ending December 31, 2003 was 58.1%
       compared to 71.3% for the twelve months ending December 31, 2002.

     * As of January 1, 2004, occupancy of the office portfolio was 87.9%
       compared to 91.1% as of October 1, 2003 and 92.3% as of January 1,
       2003.  Not included in the January 1, 2004 occupancy rate are 38 signed
       leases totaling 288,000 square feet, which commence during the first
       through third quarter and raise our percentage leased to 90.7%.

     * As previously announced, Skytel vacated its 156,000 square foot lease
       at the Skytel Centre in Jackson, Mississippi leaving the building 25%
       occupied.  Subsequent to December 31, 2003, the Company announced the
       renaming of the building to City Centre, the signing of leases which
       raise the building occupancy to approximately 92% and the development
       of a $6.5 million, 500-space parking facility to accommodate building
       customers.  The largest lease was signed with Forman Perry Watkins
       Krutz & Tardy LLP subsequent to December 31, 2003 for 145,000 square
       feet, commencing upon completion of the improvements to the space in
       the third quarter of 2004.  Forman Perry will occupy the space through
       December 31, 2011, subject to certain termination rights beginning July
       31, 2008.  The firm is consolidating employees from two buildings in
       Jackson and will vacate approximately 70,000 square feet in One Jackson
       Place, another Parkway-owned asset.  The other large new customers
       include Entergy Mississippi, Inc. and Ross & Yerger, which leased
       19,500 and 14,500 square feet, respectively.

     * As previously reported, Burlington Industries vacated 137,000 square
       feet at 400 North Belt in Houston, Texas effective December 31, 2003.
       Subsequent to December 31, 2003, the Company signed two leases for
       58,800 square feet within the former Burlington space.  One of the
       leases was with Merchant Metals, Inc., presently a 19,100 square foot
       Parkway customer at One Commerce Green, who is expanding and relocating
       into 39,400 square feet, for a net increase of 20,300 square feet.

     * During the quarter ending December 31, 2003, leases were renewed or
       expanded on 410,000 net rentable square feet at an average rental rate
       decrease of 11.2% and a cost of $1.68 per square foot per year of the
       lease term in committed tenant improvements and leasing commissions.
       New leases were signed during the quarter on 238,000 net rentable
       square feet at a cost of $3.77 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 $2,108,000 or 2.9% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2003
       compared to the same period of the prior year.  Same store assets
       produced a decrease in NOI of $1,550,000 or 8.5% during the quarter
       compared to the fourth quarter of 2002.  Without the impact of straight
       line rents, the decrease in same store results for the fourth quarter
       and 2003 would have been 4.3% and 2.0%, respectively.  The decrease of
       the twelve months ended December 31, 2003 compared to the same period
       of 2002 was primarily attributable to the fourth quarter 2003 write off
       of the Burlington straight line rent receivable in the amount of
       $485,000, lower rents and increased utilities and insurance expense.
       The decrease in same store net operating income for the fourth quarter
       2003 was primarily attributable to lower rents and occupancy in
       addition to the Burlington straight line rent write off.

    Capital Markets and Financing
     * The Company's previously announced cash dividend of $.65 per share for
       the quarter ended December 31, 2003 represents a payout of
       approximately 60.1% of FFO per diluted share. The fourth quarter
       dividend was paid on December 29, 2003 and equates to an annualized
       dividend of $2.60 per share, a yield of 5.4% on the closing stock price
       on February 6, 2004 of $47.95.

     * The Company closed a $24,000,000 non-recourse first mortgage secured by
       three properties in Houston on December 18, 2003.  The mortgage, which
       is interest only for the first year, has a fixed interest rate of 4.83%
       with a 5-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.

     * As of December 31, 2003 the Company's debt-to-total market
       capitalization ratio was 41.2% compared to 38.0% as of September 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 in 2003.

     * On February 6, 2004, the Company closed a new $170,000,000 line of
       credit led by Wachovia Bank and syndicated to ten other banks. This
       line replaces its $135,000,000 line, which was to mature June 2004. The
       new line affords the Company greater financial flexibility at a lower
       interest cost.

    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       $0.16 - $0.20
     Plus:  Diluted share adjustment for convertible preferred  $0.16 - $0.15

     Fully diluted FFO per share                                $4.30 - $4.50


    The following assumptions were used in making this forecast:
     * Occupancy in the range of 87% to 91%, with average occupancy of 89%;
     * Due to the vacancies discussed earlier, same store net operating income
       growth in the range of negative 5% to negative 8%;
     * Average interest rate of 3% on short-term, floating rate debt;
     * Purchase of the Capital City Plaza in Atlanta in late March 2004.
     * No additional acquisitions or dispositions of property;
     * No equity offerings or redemptions; and
     * Placement of a fixed rate 6% $25 million mortgage on July 1, 2004.

    Steven G. Rogers, President and Chief Executive Officer stated, "We are
encouraged by signs of a strengthening economy which should translate into
better lease economics in the future. In the meantime, we are focused on
backfilling our vacancies quickly to restore our retention and occupancy to
normal levels. We anticipate that these efforts combined with significant
investment activity will boost our 2004 profitability. We are making good
progress on all aspects of our VALUE2 plan."

    (1) Funds from operations ("FFO") applicable to common shareholders and
funds available for distribution ("FAD") are 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, 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 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.

    (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 twelve
months ending December 31, 2003 has been 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.

    (3) In the 4th quarter of 2002, Parkway recorded an impairment loss on
land of $205,000 and an impairment loss on an office property of $1,594,000.
Consistent with NAREIT's current definition of FFO, Parkway excluded the
impairment loss on the office property from FFO and included the impairment
loss on land in FFO.  In October, 2003, the SEC staff shared with NAREIT its
position that all impairment write-downs must be included in FFO for all
periods included in future filings.  Therefore, FFO per diluted share for the
three months and twelve months ended December 31, 2002 has been reduced by the
impairment loss on the office property in the amount of $1,594,000 ($.14 per
diluted share).  Additionally, in accordance with SFAS 145, effective for
fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002, any gain or loss on extinguishment
of debt that was classified as an extraordinary item in prior periods shall be
reclassified.  The amounts recognized by Parkway for the three months
($815,000 or $.07 per diluted share) and the twelve months ($833,000 or $.07
per diluted share) ended December 31, 2002 have been reclassified to "Interest
expense - prepayment expenses" and included in FFO.  Considering the items
discussed above, FFO per diluted share as originally reported of $1.14 and
$4.64 for the three months and twelve months ended December 31, 2002,
respectively, has been revised to $.93 and $4.43 for the same periods.

    (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 December 31, 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:
