       Parkway Properties, Inc. ("Parkway" or the "Company") is a real estate investment trust ("REIT") specializing in the operations, acquisition, ownership, management, and leasing of office properties. The Company is self-administered, in that it provides its own investment and administrative services internally through its own employees. The Company is also self-managed, as it internally provides the management and maintenance services that its properties require through its own employees, such as property managers and engineers and in some cases, leasing professionals. The Company is geographically focused on the Southeastern and Southwestern United States and Chicago. Parkway and its predecessors have been public companies engaged in the real estate business since 1971, and its present senior management has been with Parkway since the 1980's. The management team has had experience managing a public real estate company through all phases of the real estate busine ss cycle. At March 1, 2002, Parkway owned or had an interest in 51 office properties located in eleven states with an aggregate of approximately 8.7 million square feet of leasable space.

       Parkway evaluates each individual asset considering a number of factors such as current market rents, vacancy rates and capitalization rates. As part of this strategy, the Company has (i) completed the acquisition of 57 office properties, encompassing approximately 9.3 million net rentable square feet, for a total investment of more than $861 million; (ii) sold or is in the process of selling all of its non-core assets; (iii) sold ten office properties, encompassing approximately 967,000 net rentable square feet primarily in markets that posed increasing risks and redeployed these funds; and (iv) implemented self-management and self-leasing at most of its properties to promote a focus on tenant retention and superior service in meeting the needs of its tenants. Parkway defines total investment as purchase price plus estimated closing costs and anticipated capital expenditures during the first 12 months of ownership for tenant improvements, commissions, upgrades and capital improvements to bring the building up to the Company's standards.

       The Company self-manages approximately 98% of its current portfolio on a net rentable square footage basis. In addition, the Company implemented self-leasing for renewals and currently self-leases approximately 78% of its portfolio on a net rentable square footage basis. For new tenant leasing, which is a small portion of our business, we fully cooperate with the third party brokerage community. The Company benefits from a fully integrated management infrastructure, provided by its wholly-owned management subsidiary, Parkway Realty Services LLC ("Parkway Realty"). The Company believes self-management results in better customer service, higher tenant retention and allows the Company to enhance stockholder value through the application of its hands-on operating style. The Company believes that its focus on tenant retention will benefit the Company and its stockholders by maintaining a stabilized revenue stream and avoiding higher capital expenditures and leasing commi ssions associated with new leases. In order to self-manage properties, the Company seeks to reach critical mass in terms of square footage. Critical mass varies from market to market and is generally defined by the Company as owning or managing a minimum of 250,000 square feet. The Company is considering the sale of its properties that are not self-managed because the inability to self-manage these properties limits the Company's ability to apply its hands-on operating strategy. In addition to its owned properties, Parkway Realty currently manages and/or leases approximately 1.3 million net rentable square feet for third-party owners. The Company also intends to expand its third party fee business.

       In addition to direct real estate acquisitions, Parkway's investment strategy includes the consummation of business combination transactions with other public real estate and financial companies which Parkway deems to be undervalued. In evaluating a company to determine if it is undervalued, Parkway traditionally looks at the value the public market is placing on its assets versus what value the private market would pay for those same assets. Our preference is for office companies or those with a strong office component. We then pursue these acquisitions by acquiring common stock, which is typically listed on one of the major national stock exchanges. Since 1979, Parkway has completed eight such business combinations. Management may pursue similar business combination transactions on a selected basis in order to enhance stockholder value.

       Additionally, Parkway intends to form joint ventures or partnerships with select investors. During 2000, the Company formed a venture partnership with a division of Investcorp International, Inc. for the purposes of acquiring approximately $100 million in Central Business District (downtown) assets in the Southeastern and Southwestern United States and Chicago. Under the terms of the joint venture agreement, Parkway will operate, manage, and lease the properties on a day-to-day basis, provide acquisition and construction management services to the venture, and receive fees for providing these services. The venture will arrange first mortgage financing which will approximate 70% of the value of each office asset purchased. This debt will be non-recourse, property specific debt. Investcorp will provide 70 to 75% of the joint venture capital with Parkway to provide the balance, with distributions being made pro rata. As of March 1, 2002, no investments have been p urchased through the arrangement.

       Until December 31, 1996, Parkway operated as a real estate operating company. For the taxable years 1995 and 1996, Parkway paid virtually no federal income taxes ($64,000 in 1995 and none in 1996) primarily because Parkway had certain net operating losses ("NOLs") to shelter most of Parkway's income from such taxes. However, the increase in the number of outstanding shares of common stock which resulted from a common stock private placement in June 1996 and certain business combination transactions in 1994 and 1995 caused the use of Parkway's NOLs to be significantly limited in any one year. The Company anticipated that its taxable income would increase significantly following the implementation of its strategy of focused investment in office properties. Accordingly, Parkway's Board of Directors determined that it was in the best interests of Parkway and its stockholders to elect to qualify Parkway as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code for t he taxable year beginning January 1, 1997, which allows Parkway to be generally exempt from federal income taxes even if its NOLs are limited or exhausted, provided it meets various REIT requirements. The Company's taxable income increased from $8.9 million in 1997 to approximately $30 million in 2001, offset by $.1 million of NOLs in 1997 and $2.7 million of NOLs in the years 1998 through 2001. For each year from 1997 through 2001, distributions of taxable income in the form of dividends as required by the Internal Revenue Code were made.

Business Objectives and Strategy of the Company

       Parkway's business objective is to maximize total return to stockholders over time primarily through increases in dividends and share price appreciation. During 2001, Parkway distributed $2.45 per share in dividends to common stockholders, representing a 15.6% increase over the 2000 dividends distributed of $2.12 per common share. Distributions in 2001 of $2.45 per share represent a payout of 56.4% of the Company's funds from operations ("FFO") for the year. The Company's dividend increase in 2001 was determined by the minimum distribution requirements of the REIT rules. To maintain qualification as a REIT, the Company must distribute to stockholders at least 90% of taxable income, excluding net capital gains.

       Parkway's operating philosophy is based on the premise that we are in the customer retention business. Parkway retains its customers by continually focusing on operations at its office properties. We believe in providing superior customer service; hiring, training, retaining and empowering each employee; creating an environment of open communication both internally and with our stockholders; and simplicity. We will strive to maximize our stockholders returns by setting, implementing and achieving goals, which increase profitability, dividends and stock price, while managing risks. The Company seeks investments where our operational expertise can add value through direct management, a hands-on, service oriented operating philosophy and innovation. The Company will invest directly in properties in the form of equity ownership. In some instances the Company may take a minority interest in the ownership structure, such as a joint venture format, but will maintain control of the operations, as we believe this is where real estate value is created. These investments may additionally include acquiring equity positions in private or publicly-traded real estate companies.

       For many years, Parkway has been engaged in a process of strategic planning and goal setting. The material goals and objectives of Parkway's earlier strategic plans have been achieved, and have benefited Parkway's stockholders through increased FFO and dividend payments per share. In 1998, Parkway adopted a strategic plan that sets as its goal to increase Parkway's FFO per basic share without the issuance of new equity. The review, accountability and reward of the plan align management and stockholder interests. The goal of the strategic plan is to increase Parkway's FFO per basic share to $5.00 (before expense accruals for restricted share grants tied to its accomplishment) in 50 months (i.e., the end of 2002); hence the plan is referred to as the "5 in 50 Plan." However, in 2000, the benchmark was raised to the new basic FFO per share of $5.23, a 5% increase over the previously disclosed goal of $5.00. This change was due to the inadvertent bene fit of the Rothschild Realty Convertible Preferred Stock Offering (see Management's Discussion and Analysis-Liquidity). The Plan sets goals, assigns responsibility for the attainment of such goals to specific Parkway officers, and provides for follow-up evaluations to determine whether the officers responsible for the attainment of each goal are moving toward success. The major goals include realizing the embedded rental rate growth in Parkway's existing portfolio of office properties, investing $50 million per year (for a total of $200 million) at a positive spread of 250 basis points over the long-term cost of debt, selling Parkway's non-earning assets and re-deploying the proceeds in higher yielding assets, increasing the overall occupancy of Parkway's office portfolio, and taking numerous other actions to generate additional cash flow from Parkway's properties. Many of the goals established in the 5 in 50 Plan have been accomplished such as the placement of approximately $200 million in o ffice properties. Although components of the 5 in 50 Plan are still subject to risk and uncertainties, many of which are beyond Parkway's control, Parkway believes that its goals are attainable. As such, Parkway's internal 2002 budget projects reaching the 5 in 50 Plan goal of $5.23 per basic share in FFO. See Item 7. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Forward Looking Statements."

       As Parkway enters the last year of it's 5 in 50 Plan, work has begun on establishing the strategy for 2003 and beyond. The Company plans to adopt a new, three-year strategic plan that we will refer to as VALUE², indicating our focus on creating value for our shareholders as well as maintaining the Company's values as established in our Commitment to Excellence. The focus of the VALUE² plan will include Venturing with quality partners, Asset recycling, Leverage neutral growth, Uncompromising focus on operations and Equity returns to the shareholders greater than the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) office index. The Company is in the process of developing the plan and expects that it will be in place by January 1, 2003. The real estate industry is still evolving as to whether the appropriate measuring stick is operating earnings per share or fun ds from operations. It is the Company's intention to adopt the most widely accepted measure and believe the outcome will be more clear by January 1, 2003.

       Parkway generally seeks to acquire well-located Class A, A- or B+ (as classified within their respective markets) multi-story office buildings which are located in primary or secondary markets in the Southeastern and Southwestern United States and Chicago, ranging in size from 100,000 to 750,000 net rentable square feet and which have current and projected occupancy levels in excess of 70% and adequate parking to accommodate full occupancy. Office properties are designated Class A, A- or B+ based on a combination of factors including rent, building finishes, system standards and efficiency, building amenities, location/accessibility and market perception. Class A properties represent the most prestigious buildings competing for premier office users with rents above average for the area. These buildings generally have high quality standard finishes, state of the art systems, exceptional accessibility and a definite market presence. Class B office buildings compete for a wide range of users with rents in the average range for the area. Building finishes are fair to good for the area and systems are adequate, but the building does not compete with Class A at the same price. The Company targets buildings which are occupied by a major tenant (or tenants) (e.g., a tenant that accounts for at least 30% of the building's total rental revenue and has at least five years remaining on its lease). Parkway's focus on new property acquisitions will be on higher barrier-to-entry sub-markets in both central business districts and suburban markets. Parkway strives to purchase office buildings at minimum initial unleveraged annual yields on its total investment of 10% for urban assets. The Company defines initial unleveraged yield as net operating income ("NOI") divided by total investment (as previously defined), where NOI represents budgeted cash operating income for the current year at current occupancy rates and at rental rates currently in place with no adjustments for anti cipated expense savings, increases in rental rates, additional leasing or straight line rent. Leases that expire during the year are assumed to renew at market rates unless interviews with tenants during pre-purchase due diligence indicate a likelihood that a tenant will not renew. In markets where the Company self-manages its properties, NOI also includes the net management fee expected to be earned during the year. The Company also generally seeks to acquire properties whose total investment per net rentable square foot is at least 20% below estimated replacement cost and whose current rental rates are at or below market rental rates. While the Company seeks to acquire properties which meet all of the acquisition criteria, specific property acquisitions are evaluated individually and may fail to meet one or more of the acquisition criteria at the date of purchase. Since January 1, 2001, the Company has acquired three office properties with approximately 1.6 million net rentable square feet for a total investment of $212.5 million, or approximately $133 per net rentable square foot. The properties purchased are located in the central business districts of Chicago and Nashville and the Greenspoint suburban market in Houston. Consistent with the qualification requirements of a REIT, the Company intends to hold and operate its portfolio of office buildings for investment purposes, but may determine to sell properties that no longer meet its investment criteria.

       In addition to investing in office properties, Parkway seeks to purchase common stock of other REITs that meet certain criteria. This program is referred to as the REIT Significant Value Program or "RSVP". The Company views the purchase of publicly-traded real estate equity securities to be an alternative to "fee simple" transactions for purchasing quality assets at attractive prices. The existence of a sustainable dividend provides a yield on the investment while the Company positions itself for direct involvement.

       The general criteria for purchase includes strategic fit with Parkway with a preference to office, mixed office/industrial, diversified or special  situations with office, the ability for Parkway's direct involvement to add value to the REIT, discounts to net asset value (NAV) generally 20% or greater,  sustainable dividend yields of 8% or greater, acceptable debt levels as measured by interest and fixed charge coverage ratios  and accretive investment economics. All REITs in which Parkway makes an investment will be approved by the Parkway Board of Directors.

       As of March 2001, all of the holdings of common equity of other REITs had been liquidated generating a total net gain of $2,171,000 excluding dividends during 2000 and 2001. Although we currently have no investments, we will continue to pursue opportunities in the public market in accordance with the RSVP plan as conditions warrant.

       The Company has been engaged in the purchase of its outstanding common stock since June 1998. Given the fluctuations in price of the Company's public equity without a corresponding change in valuation of the underlying real estate assets, the Company believes a well-executed repurchase program can add significant stockholder value. During 2001, the Company repurchased 613,200 shares of its common stock at an average cost of $29.36 per share. Since June 1998, the Company has purchased a total of 2,127,493 shares of its common stock, which represents approximately 19.2% of the Company stock outstanding when the buyback program was initiated on June 30, 1998. When considering repurchasing shares, the Company evaluates the following items: impact on the Company's 5 in 50 Plan; discount to net asset value; implied capitalization rate; implied value per square foot; impact on liquidity of common stock; and other investment alternatives that are available with a similar risk profile (capital allocation).

       The Company expects to continue seeking fixed rate, non-recourse mortgage financing at terms ranging from ten to thirty years on select office building investments as additional capital is needed. The Company plans to maintain a ratio of debt to total market capitalization from 25% to 50% although such ratio may from time to time temporarily exceed 50% especially when the Company has incurred significant amounts of short-term debt in connection with acquisitions. In addition, volatility in the price of the Company's common stock may result in a debt to total market capitalization ratio exceeding 50% from time to time. The Company monitors interest and fixed charge coverage ratios. See Item 7. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - - Financial Condition." Parkway has no present plans to issue senior securities. Should the opportunity present itself, Parkway has the ability to issue modest amounts periodically through its dividend reinvestment plan.

       Parkway may, in appropriate circumstances, acquire one or more properties in exchange for Parkway's equity securities. Parkway may provide financing in connection with sales of property if market conditions so require, but it does not presently intend to make other loans. Parkway has no set policy as to the amount or percentage of its assets which may be invested in any specific property. Rather than a specific policy, Parkway evaluates each property in terms of whether and to what extent the property meets Parkway's investment criteria and strategic objectives. Parkway has no present intentions of underwriting securities of other issuers. The strategies and policies set forth above were determined, and are subject to review by, Parkway's Board of Directors which may change such strategies or policies based upon their evaluation of the state of the real estate market, the performance of Parkway's assets, capital an d credit market conditions, and other relevant factors. Parkway provides annual reports to its stockholders that contain financial statements audited by Parkway's independent public accountants.

       Parkway has also pursued a strategy of liquidating its non-core assets and office building investments that no longer meet the Company's investment criteria and/or the Company has determined value will be maximized by selling and redeploying the proceeds. The Company routinely evaluates changes in market conditions that indicate an opportunity or need to sell properties within those markets in order to maximize shareholder value and allocate capital judiciously.

       Since January 1, 1995, Parkway has sold non-core assets with a book value of approximately $45 million for approximately $68 million, resulting in an aggregate gain for financial reporting purposes of approximately $23 million. The book value of all remaining non-office building real estate assets and mortgage loans, all of which are for sale, was approximately $4.6 million as of December 31, 2001.

       Since January 1, 1998, the Company has sold ten office properties, encompassing approximately 967,000 net rentable square feet for net proceeds of $97 million, resulting in aggregate gains for financial reporting purposes of $13 million. In 2001, the Company sold one office property in Birmingham, Alabama. During 2000, three office properties in Northern Virginia and one office property in Little Rock, Arkansas were sold.. The decision to sell these assets was based on the fact that they were suburban and were neither self-managed nor self-leased. Currently, the Company is also considering the sale of its properties in Greenville, South Carolina and Indianapolis, Indiana, primarily because the Company does not own sufficient office space in these markets to justify self-management and self-leasing. These investment decisions will be based upon the Company's analysis of existing markets and competing investment opportunities.

       The Company is self-administered and self-managed and maintains its principal executive offices in Jackson, Mississippi. As of March 1, 2002, the Company had 200 employees.

       The operations of the Company are conducted from approximately 13,000 square feet of office space located at 188 East Capitol Street, One Jackson Place Suite 1000, Jackson, Mississippi. The building is owned by Parkway and is leased by Parkway at market rental rates. The Company maintains a website at www.pky.com.

ITEM 2.  Properties.

General

       The Company operates and invests principally in office properties in the Southeastern and Southwestern United States and Chicago, but is not limited to any specific geographical region or property type. As of March 1, 2002, the Company owned or had an interest in 51 office properties comprising approximately 8.7 million square feet of office space located in eleven states.

       In addition, the Company has an investment in the Toyota Center, formerly known as the Moore Building, which is a historic renovation adjacent to the Triple-A baseball stadium complex in downtown Memphis. The Toyota Center was originally constructed in 1913 and consists of approximately 174,000 rentable square feet. The Company constructed a multi-level, 770-space parking garage to accommodate the building and stadium parking needs. This building is owned by Moore Building Associates LP (the "Partnership") and an institutional investor, Banc of America Historic Ventures, LLC ("BOA") with the Company's ownership interest being less than 1%. At December 31, 2001, the note receivable from the Partnership totaled $6,942,000.

       Property acquisitions in 2001, 2000 and 1999 were funded through a variety of sources, including:

              a.       Cash reserves and cash generated from operating activities,

              b.       Sales of non-core assets,

              c.       Sales of office properties,

              d.       Sales of investments in equity securities of other REITs,

              e.       Fixed rate, non-recourse mortgage financing at terms ranging from 10 to 20 years,

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

              g.       Sales of Parkway preferred stock, and

              h.       Advances on bank lines of credit.

       Other than as discussed under "Item 1. Business", the Company intends to hold and operate its portfolio of office buildings for investment purposes. The Company does not propose any program for the renovation, improvement or development of any of the office buildings, except as called for under the renewal of existing leases or the signing of new leases or improvements necessary to upgrade recent acquisitions to the Company's operating standards. All such improvements are expected to be financed by cash flow from the portfolio of office properties and advances on bank lines of credit.

       In the opinion of management, all properties are adequately covered by insurance. This is an area to which management has devoted a great deal of time and attention following the unfortunate events of September 11, 2001.

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

       The following table sets forth certain information about office properties the Company owned or had an interest in as of March 1, 2002:

(1)    Includes 50 office properties owned directly and a 32,000 square foot office property that the Company owns a 50% interest located in New Orleans, Louisiana.

(2)    Average rent per square foot is defined as the weighted average current gross rental rate including expense escalations for occupied office space in the building as of January 1, 2002.

(3)    Estimated average market rent per square foot is based upon information obtained from (i) the Company's own experience in leasing space at the properties; (ii) leasing agents in the relevant markets with respect to quoted rental rates and completed leasing transactions for comparable properties in the relevant markets; and (iii) publicly available data with respect thereto. Estimated average market rent is weighted by the net rentable square feet expiring in each property.

(4)    The percentage of leases expiring in 2002 represents the ratio of square feet under leases expiring in 2002 divided by total net rentable square feet.

       The following table sets forth scheduled lease expirations for properties owned as of March 1, 2002 for leases executed as of January 1, 2002, assuming no tenant exercises renewal options:

(1)    Annualized rental amount expiring is defined as net rentable square feet expiring multiplied by the weighted average expiring annual rental rate per net rentable square foot.

(2)    Weighted average expiring gross rental rate is the weighted average rental rate including expense escalations for office space.

(3)    Estimated average market rent is based upon information obtained from (i) the Company's own experience in leasing space at the properties: (ii) leasing agents in the relevant markets with respect to quoted rental rates and completed leasing transactions for comparable properties in the relevant markets; and (iii) publicly available data with respect thereto. Estimated average market rent is weighted by the net rentable square feet expiring in each property.

       The Company has one property, 233 North Michigan, whose book value at December 31, 2001 exceeds ten percent of total assets.

       The 233 North Michigan building (the "Building") is a 32-story Class B+ office property with an attached four-level, below grade parking garage. The building was constructed in 1972 and includes 984,000 Rentable Square Feet ("RSF") of Class B+ office space, 41,000 RSF of retail space and 43,000 RSF of storage space. The building was 89.1% leased at January 1, 2002, with an average effective annual rental rate per square foot of $29.89.

       The building's major tenants include governmental agencies and businesses that provide legal, accounting, insurance, advertising and other financial services. Retail tenants include financial service companies, a restaurant and other numerous service-oriented amenity tenants.

       Lease expirations for the building as of January 1, 2002 are as follows (in thousands, except number of leases):

       The 233 North Michigan building has several tenants that occupy 10% or more of the rentable square footage. The information regarding these tenants is as follows (in thousands):

       (1)     Annualized rental revenue represents the gross rental rate (including escalations) per square foot as of January 1, 2002, multiplied by the number of square feet leased by the tenant.

       (2)     United Healthcare Services' renewal option consists of two extensions of five years each with written notice by November 2008.

       (3)     Young & Rubicam, Inc. renewal option consists of one extension of five years with written notice by September 2010.

       For tax purposes, depreciation is calculated over 39 years for building and garage, 7 to 39 years for building and tenant improvements and 5 to 7 years for equipment, furniture and fixtures. The federal tax basis net of accumulated tax depreciation of 233 North Michigan is as follows as of December 31, 2001 (in thousands):

       Real estate tax expense for 2001 for 233 North Michigan was $3,266,000.

       The Company has one non-recourse first mortgage note payable with a principal balance greater than 10% of its assets. The lender is Deutsche Banc Alex Brown ("233 Mortgage"), and the loan totals $105,359,000 at December 31, 2001 and is secured by the 233 North Michigan office property located in Chicago, Illinois. The 233 Mortgage has a fixed interest rate of 7.35%, matures July 11, 2011 with payments based on a 25 year amortization.

       Other fixed-rate mortgage notes payable total $199,626,000 at December 31, 2001 and are secured by 26 properties in various markets with interest rates ranging from 6.945% to 8.375%. Maturity dates on these mortgage notes payable range from March 2003 to October 2019 on 12 to 30 year amortizations. See Note F to the consolidated financial statements.

       The majority of the Company's fixed rate secured debt contains prepayment provisions based on the greater of a yield maintenance penalty or 1.0% of the outstanding loan amount. The yield maintenance penalty essentially compensates the lender for the difference between the fixed rate under the loan and the yield that the lender would receive if the lender reinvested the prepaid loan balance in U.S. Treasury Securities with a similar maturity as the loan.

Tenants

       The office properties are leased to approximately 946 tenants, which are in a wide variety of industries including banking, professional services (including legal, accounting, and consulting), energy, financial services and telecommunications. The following table sets forth information concerning the 25 largest tenants of the properties owned as of January 1, 2002 (in thousands, except square foot data):

(1)    Annualized Rental Revenue represents the gross rental rate (including escalations) per square foot as of January 1, 2002, multiplied by the number of square feet leased by the tenant.

(2)    GSA occupies 302,103 square feet and the leases expire as follows:

(3)    Bank of America, NA occupies 274,316 square feet in two properties under separate leases that expire as follows: 180,530 square feet in March 2012 at Bank of America Plaza in Nashville, TN and 93,786 square feet in June 2006 at Bank of America Tower in Columbia, SC.

       Since January 1, 1995, Parkway has pursued a strategy of liquidating its non-core assets and using the proceeds from such sales to acquire office properties, pay down short-term debt and repurchase its own stock. The Company defines non-core assets as all assets other than office properties which at December 31, 2001 consisted of land and mortgage loans. In accordance with this strategy, Parkway sold non-core assets with a book value of $550,000 for cash proceeds of $605,000 during 2001. Aggregate gains for financial reporting purposes from sales of non-core assets during 2001 were $55,000. There were no sales of non-core assets in 2000. The book value of all remaining non-office building real estate assets and mortgage loans, all of which are for sale, was $4,610,000 as of December 31, 2001. Of this amount, $3,733,000 represents undeveloped land with a carrying cost of approximately $34,000 annually.
