Parkway Properties, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
September 30, 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 or the right to receive the benefits from the VIE that could be potentially significant to the VIE.  At September  30, 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 nine months ended September 30, 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.

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income”, which modifies reporting requirements for comprehensive income in order to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income in the financial statements.  ASU 2011-05 requires presentation of either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or two separate, but consecutive statements in which the first statement presents net income and its components followed by a second statement that presents total other comprehensive income, the components of other comprehensive income, and total comprehensive income.  The requirements of ASU 2011-05 will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2011-05 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, which allows an entity to first assess qualitative factors in determining when a two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test is necessary.  If an entity determines, based on qualitative factors, that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the entity would then be required to calculate the fair value of the reporting unit.  The requirements of ASU 2011-08 will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2011-08 on the Company’s consolidated 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 is as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

The computation of diluted EPS for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 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.

On May 18, 2011, the Company closed on the agreement with Eola Capital, LLC (“Eola”) in which Eola contributed its Property Management Company (the “Management Company”) to Parkway.  Eola’s principals contributed the Management Company to Parkway for initial consideration of $32.4 million in cash and Eola’s principals 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 are redeemable for shares of Parkway common stock on a one-for-one basis.  Earn-out and earn-up consideration is 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.  The earn-out and earn-up consideration is accounted for as a liability and therefore, any changes in fair value is measured through profit and loss each reporting date until the contingency is resolved.  Parkway also has 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 was contributed to a wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiary and therefore, the Company began incurring income tax expenses upon closing of the agreement.  The Management Company currently manages assets totaling approximately 11.2 million square feet.  Parkway funded the cash consideration for the Management Company contribution with operating cash flow, proceeds from the disposition of office properties, proceeds from an equity issuance and amounts available under the Company’s credit facilities.  For details regarding the Management Company’s purchase price allocation see “Note G – Management Contracts.”

The unaudited pro forma effect on the Company’s results of operations for the purchase of 3344 Peachtree, 245 Riverside, Corporate Center Four, Two Liberty Place, Two Ravinia Drive, Bank of America Center, Cypress Center, Hayden Ferry I and the Management Company as if the purchase had occurred on January 1, 2010 is as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

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 which was purchased  in November 2007.  The B piece was originated by Wachovia Bank, N.A., a Wells Fargo Company, and has a face value of $10.0 million, a stated coupon rate of 6.065% and a scheduled maturity in May 2012.  At September 30, 2011, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment loss on the mortgage loan in the amount of $9.2 million.  The borrower is currently in default on the first mortgage and based on current information, the Company does not believe it will recover its investment in the loan.  Therefore, Parkway has written off its investment in the mortgage loan.

 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 September 30, 2011.

Note G – Management Contracts

During the second quarter of 2011, as part of the Company’s combination with Eola, Parkway purchased the management contracts associated with Eola’s property management business.  At the purchase date, the contracts were valued by an independent appraiser at $52.0 million.  The value of the management contracts is based on the sum of the present value of future cash flows attributable to the management contracts, in addition to the value of tax savings as a result of the amortization of intangible assets.  During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company recorded amortization expense of $867,000 and $1.3 million, respectively, on the management contracts.  Also, in conjunction with the valuation of the management company, the Company recorded $26.2 million of goodwill, a $31.0 million liability related to contingent consideration and a deferred tax liability of $14.8 million.  At September 30, 2011, the allocation of purchase price is still preliminary.

Note H - Capital and Financing Transactions

At September 30, 2011, the Company had a total of $113.9 million outstanding under its credit facilities (collectively, the “Credit Facility”) and was in compliance with all loan covenants under each credit facility.  The interest rate on the Company’s 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 Company’s credit facility 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 September 30, 2011 totaled $979.0 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 September 20, 2011, the Company entered into an amendment to the revolving credit facility, which amendment became effective the date of its execution.  The amendment reduced the Tangible Net Worth requirement and adjusted the definition of FFO under the revolving credit facility.

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, 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.

On May 11, 2011, the Company sold 233 North Michigan, a 1.1 million square foot office property located in the central business district of Chicago, for a gross sale price of $162.2 million.  At closing, the Company repaid the $84.6 million non-recourse mortgage loan secured by the property that was scheduled to mature in July 2011.  Parkway received net cash proceeds after the repayment of the mortgage loan of approximately $74 million, which were used to reduce amounts outstanding under the Company’s credit facility.  The Company recognized a gain on extinguishment of debt of $302,000 during the second quarter of 2011, which is recorded in income from discontinued operations.

·  
A $90.2 million non-recourse mortgage loan secured by Two Liberty Place, a 941,000 square foot office property located in the central business district of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  The mortgage loan has a fixed rate of 5.2% and a maturity date of June 10, 2019.

On May 18, 2011, the Company issued 1.0 million additional shares of its 8.0% Series D Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock to an institutional investor at a price of $25.00 per share, equating to a yield of 8.0%.  The Series D Preferred Stock has a $25.00 liquidation value per share and is redeemable at the option of the Company at any time upon proper notice.  The Company used the net proceeds of approximately $26.2 million to fund the combination with Eola and the Company’s share of equity contributions to purchase Fund II office properties.

On June 1, 2011, the Company repaid a $9.9 million non-recourse mortgage loan secured by Forum I, a 163,000 square foot office property in Memphis, Tennessee.  The mortgage loan had a fixed interest rate of 5.3%.  The Company repaid the mortgage loan using available proceeds under the credit facility.

Upon its maturity on June 1, 2011, the Company elected not to repay an $8.5 million non-recourse mortgage loan secured by the Wells Fargo Building, a 136,000 square foot office building in Houston.  This mortgage loan had a fixed interest rate of 4.4%.  The Company is currently in default on this mortgage and the lender has identified a third-party buyer for the mortgage.  The Company expects a loan foreclosure or deed in lieu of loan foreclosure on the property, and has recognized an impairment loss on real estate of $7.0 million during the third quarter of 2011.  Upon foreclosure, the Company expects to record a gain on foreclosure of $3.9 million.

Parkway is a limited partner and serves as the general partner of 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.  Fund I has been fully invested  since February 2008.

The Company has reached an agreement in principle to sell its interests in the office portfolio owned by Fund I, for which Parkway is a limited partner and serves as general partner.  The office portfolio is comprised of 2.7 million square feet and Parkway’s effective ownership of the portfolio is approximately 28.2%.  The properties are secured by a total of $293.1 million in non-recourse mortgage loans, of which $82.7 million is Parkway’s share, with an average interest rate of 5.6%.  In connection with this agreement to sell the Company’s interests in the portfolio owned by Fund I, the Company recorded an impairment loss in the third quarter of 2011 totaling $100.2 million, of which $28.0 million is Parkway’s share.
 
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.  As of September 30, 2011, Fund II included investments in eleven office properties totaling $636.1 million which represents 84.8% of the fund’s $750.0 million investment capacity.

 
17

 

An existing institutional investor in Two Liberty Place retained an 11% ownership in the property.  Parkway’s pro rata share of Two Liberty Place is 19% and Parkway’s partner in Fund II owns the remaining 70% interest.

Parkway is a limited partner and 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.  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.

Noncontrolling interest - real estate partnerships represents the other partners’ proportionate share of equity in the partnerships discussed above at September 30, 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 $1.4 million and $877,000 was recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  Total compensation expense related to nonvested awards not yet recognized was $3.7 million at September 30, 2011.  The weighted average period over which the expense is expected to be recognized is approximately 2.3 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 are accounted for as equity-classified awards.

On May 12, 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors, upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, approved the Parkway Properties, Inc. 2011 Employee Inducement Award Plan (the “2011 Inducement Plan”).  The 2011 Inducement Plan is substantively similar to the Company’s 2010 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan, approved by the Company’s stockholders on May 13, 2010, however the potential awards under the 2011 Inducement Plan are limited to shares of restricted stock and restricted share units to new employees of the Company as a result of the Company’s combination with Eola.

 
18

 

 

On May 18, 2011, the Board of Directors approved 63,241 FOCUS Plan long-term equity incentive awards to new officers of the Company.  The long-term equity incentive awards are valued at $577,000 which equates to an average price per share of $9.12 and consist of 11,384 time-based awards, 29,091 market condition awards subject to an absolute total return goal, and 22,766 market condition awards subject to a relative total return goal.  The Company also awarded 17,530 deferred incentive share units to approximately 136 other former employees of Eola who became employees of the Company effective May 18, 2011.  These shares are accounted for as equity-classified awards.

Also on May 18, 2011, the Board of Directors approved 68,802 FOCUS Plan long-term equity incentive awards to new officers of the Company effective June 1, 2011.  The long-term equity incentive awards are valued at $628,000 which equates to an average price per share of $9.13 and consist of 12,384 time-based awards, 31,649 market condition awards subject to an absolute total return goal, and 24,769 market condition awards subject to a relative total return goal.  These shares are accounted for as equity-classified awards.

On June 20, 2011, the Board of Directors approved 8,705 FOCUS Plan long-term equity incentive awards to officers of the Company.  The long-term equity incentive awards are valued at $68,000 which equates to an average price per share of $7.81 and consist of 534 time-based awards, 4,584 market condition awards subject to an absolute total return goal, and 3,587 market condition awards subject to a relative total return goal.  These shares are accounted for as equity-classified awards.

On July 1, 2011, 6,345 restricted shares vested and were issued to officers of the Company.  These shares were granted in July 2010 and vested one year from the grant date.

On October 13, 2011, 1,000 restricted shares vested and were issued to officers of the Company.  These shares were granted in 2004 and vested seven years from the grant date.

On October, 14, 2011, 10,152 restricted shares vested and were issued to an executive officer of the Company.  The executive officer resigned from the Company effective October 15, 2011, and forfeited 41,349 shares of restricted stock pursuant to the terms of the 2010 Equity Plan.

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:

 
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.

 
19

 

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 September 30, 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 at an original cost of $6.9 million, which was purchased in November 2007.  The B piece was originated by Wachovia Bank, N.A., a Wells Fargo Company, and has a face value of $10.0 million, a stated coupon rate of 6.065% and a scheduled maturity in May 2012.  At September 30, 2011, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment loss on the mortgage loan in the amount of $9.2 million.  The borrower is currently in default on the first mortgage and based on current information, the Company does not believe it will recover its investment in the loan.  Therefore, Parkway has written off its investment in the mortgage loan.

In connection with the sale of One Park Ten, the Company seller-financed a $1.5 million note receivable, and the carrying amount of the note was $1.5 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.  The carrying amount of the mortgage loan approximated fair value at September 30, 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 September 30, 2011 was $967.0 million as compared to its carrying amount of $979.0 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.

 
20

 


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 September 30, 2011 was $103.2 million as compared to its carrying amount of $113.9 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 September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was $13.1 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 – Income Taxes
 
The Company qualifies and has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”).  The Company will generally not be subject to federal income tax to the extent that it distributes its taxable income to the Company’s shareholders, and as long as Parkway satisfies the ongoing REIT requirements including meeting certain asset, income and stock ownership tests.

The Company has elected to treat certain consolidated subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries, which are tax paying entities for income tax purposes and are taxed separately from the Company.  Taxable REIT subsidiaries may participate in non-real estate related activities and/or perform non-customary services for tenants and are subject to federal and state income tax at regular corporate tax rates.

Parkway’s provision for income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, included $190,000 and $59,000, respectively, of current federal and state income tax expense resulting from undistributed REIT taxable income.  The Company’s provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, included $414,000 and $176,000, respectively, of current federal and state income tax expense resulting from undistributed REIT taxable income.

In connection with the purchase accounting for the Management Company, the Company recorded deferred tax liabilities of $14.8 million representing differences between the tax basis and GAAP basis of the acquired assets and liabilities (primarily related to the Management Company contracts) multiplied by the effective tax rate.  The Company was required to record these deferred tax liabilities as a result of the Management Company operating as a C corporation at the time it was acquired.  The deferred income tax benefit recorded for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $364,000.

Flatt, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company resigned from his positions with the Company effective October 15, 2011.  In connection with the resignation, the Company entered into a Severance Agreement, dated October 10, 2011 (the “Severance Agreement”), with Mr. Flatt.  Under the Severance Agreement, the Company shall pay Mr. Flatt a cash payment equal to $611,000 (less applicable deductions), which includes a pro rata amount for Mr. Flatt’s accrued but unpaid bonus for 2011.  The Company also agreed to accelerate the vesting of a pro rata portion of the time-based equity awards made by the Company to Mr. Flatt.  As a condition of receiving the benefits provided by the Severance Agreement, Mr. Flatt provided the Company with a general release of claims.

Note O - 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.

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 (including any guidance that NAREIT releases with respect to the definition).  Funds from operations is defined by NAREIT as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), reduced by preferred dividends, excluding gains or losses on depreciable real estate 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.  On October 31, 2011, NAREIT issued updated guidance on reporting FFO such that impairment losses on depreciable real estate should be excluded from the computation of FFO for current and prior periods.  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

 
22

 

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.

The following is a reconciliation of FFO and net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders for office properties and total consolidated entities for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.  Amounts presented as “Unallocated and Other” represent primarily income and expense associated with providing management services, corporate general and administrative expense, interest expense on the Company’s credit facility and preferred dividends.

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.  At October 1, 2011, Parkway owned or had an interest in 67 office properties located in 12 states with an aggregate of approximately 14.5 million square feet of leasable space. Included in the portfolio are 26 properties totaling 6.6 million square feet that are owned jointly with other investors, representing 45.5% of the portfolio.  Parkway has reached an agreement in principle to sell its interests in 2.7 million square feet of these jointly owned properties.  For further discussion, see “Discretionary Funds” below.  Fee-based real estate services are offered through wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company, which in total manage and/or lease approximately 12.9 million square feet for third party owners.  The Company generates revenue primarily by leasing office space to its customers and by providing asset management, property management and construction 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 October 1, 2011, occupancy of Parkway’s office portfolio was 84.4% compared to 84.6% at July 1, 2011 and 85.7% at October 1, 2010.  Not included in the October 1, 2011 occupancy rate are 30 signed leases totaling 270,000 square feet, which will take occupancy between now and the third quarter of 2012.  Including these leases the Company’s portfolio was 86.3% leased at October 13, 2011. To combat rising vacancy, Parkway utilizes innovative approaches to produce new leases and retain existing customers.  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 over time.

During the third quarter 2011, 53 leases were renewed totaling 184,000 rentable square feet at an average rent per square foot of $20.97, representing a 11.6% rate decrease, and at an average cost of $3.04 per square foot per year of the lease term.  During the nine months ending September 30, 2011, 181 leases were renewed totaling 908,000 rentable square feet at an average rent per square foot of $19.31, representing a 10.7% decrease, and at an average cost of $2.21 per square foot per year of the lease term.

During the third quarter 2011, 20 expansion leases were signed totaling 71,000 rentable square feet at an average rent per square foot of $24.52 and at an average cost of $4.19 per square foot per year of the lease term.  During the nine months ending September 30, 2011, 48 expansion leases were signed totaling 148,000 rentable square feet at an average rent per square foot of $22.73 and at an average cost of $3.98 per square foot per year of the lease term.

During the third quarter 2011, 44 new leases were signed totaling 317,000 rentable square feet at an average rent per square foot of $20.09 and at an average cost of $4.57 per square foot per year of the term.  During the nine months ending September 30, 2011, 123 new leases were signed on 817,000 rentable square feet at an average rent per square foot of $21.19 and at an average cost of $4.81 per square foot per year of the lease term.

Rental Rates. An increase in vacancy rates in a market or at a specific property has the effect of reducing market rental rates and vice versa. Parkway’s leases typically have three to seven year terms though the Company does enter into leases with terms that are either shorter or longer than that typical range.  As leases expire, the Company seeks to replace the expired leases with new leases at the current market rental rate.  At October 1, 2011, Parkway estimates that it had $1.18 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 including operating expense reimbursements and the estimated 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 relative to new leases.  Parkway estimates that it can cost up to 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 typically 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 customer retention rate of approximately 69%. Parkway’s customer retention rate was 45.4% for the quarter ending September 30, 2011, as compared to 65.7% for the quarter ending June 30, 2011, and 75.0% for the quarter ending September 30, 2010. Parkway’s customer retention rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was 52.6% and 67.5%, respectively.

Strategic Planning.  Parkway has historically engaged in strategic planning.  Its plans are reviewed continuously to take account of changing conditions.  Parkway is currently conducting a full evaluation of its strategy.  This will include a comprehensive examination of Parkway’s investment strategy, financing strategy and operational strategy.  Parkway is unable to predict at this time the strategic changes that may result from the ongoing review.

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.  Fund I has been fully invested since February 2008.

The Company has reached an agreement in principle to sell its interests in the office portfolio owned by Fund I, for which Parkway is a limited partner and serves as general partner.  The office portfolio is comprised of 2.7 million square feet and Parkway’s effective ownership of the portfolio is approximately 28.2%.  The properties are secured by a total of $293.1 million in non-recourse mortgage loans, of which $82.7 million is Parkway’s share, with an average interest rate of 5.6%.  In connection with this agreement to sell the Company’s interests in the portfolio owned by Fund I, the Company recorded an impairment loss in the third quarter of 2011 totaling $100.2 million, of which $28.0 million is Parkway’s share.
     
On May 14, 2008, Parkway, through affiliated entities, entered into a limited partnership agreement forming a $750.0 million discretionary fund, known as Parkway Properties Office Fund II, LP (“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 September 30, 2011,  Fund II had remaining investment capacity of $113.9 million of which $17.1 million represents Parkway’s remaining equity contribution that would be due in connection with additional investments in office properties.

Financial Condition

Comments are for the balance sheet dated September 30, 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-core assets that no longer meet the Company’s investment criteria or the Company has determined value will be maximized by selling.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, total assets increased $310.5 million or 19.4%.

Acquisitions and Improvements.  Parkway's investment in office and parking properties increased $156.0 million net of depreciation to a carrying amount of $1.5 billion at September 30, 2011 and consisted of 68 office and parking properties.  The primary reason for the increase in office and parking properties relates to the purchase of nine 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 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 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 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%.

On May 18, 2011, Fund II completed the closing of its purchase of four additional office properties for $316.5 million.  The four properties include Two Liberty Place in Philadelphia, Two Ravinia Drive in Atlanta, Bank of America Center in Orlando, and Cypress Center I, II and III (“Cypress Center”) in Tampa.  The properties contain approximately 2.1 million square feet of office space, and 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. An existing institutional investor in Two Liberty Place retained an 11% ownership in the property. Parkway’s pro rata share of Two Liberty Place is 19% and Parkway’s partner in Fund II owns the remaining 70% interest. Fund II acquired 100% of the remaining three assets, with Parkway’s ownership at 30%. In connection with the purchases, Fund II placed separate non-recourse mortgage loans on each property totaling $158.3 million with a weighted average interest rate of 4.99%, initial thirty-six month interest only periods, and maturity dates ranging from May 2016 to June 2019. Parkway’s equity contribution of $37.6 million was funded through availability under the Company’s credit facility.

On May 18, 2011, the Company closed on the agreement with Eola Capital, LLC (“Eola”) in which Eola would contribute its Property Management Company (the “Management Company”) to Parkway.  Eola’s principals contributed the Management Company to Parkway for initial consideration of $32.4 million in cash and Eola’s principals 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 are redeemable for shares of Parkway common stock on a one-for-one basis.  Earn-out and earn-up consideration is 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 also has 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 was contributed to a wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiary and therefore, the Company began incurring income tax expenses upon closing of the agreement.  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 funded the cash consideration for the Management Company contribution with operating cash flow, proceeds from the disposition of office properties, proceeds from equity issuance and amounts available under the Company’s credit facility.

On June 30, 2011, Fund II purchased Hayden Ferry I located in the Tempe submarket of Phoenix, Arizona, for $39.4 million.  Hayden Ferry I contains approximately 203,000 square feet of office space.  An additional $4.3 million is expected to be spent for closing costs, building improvements, leasing costs and tenant improvements during the first two years of ownership.    Fund II obtained a $22.0 million non-recourse mortgage loan with a fixed interest rate of 4.5%, an initial thirty-six month interest only period, and a maturity date of July 25, 2018.  Parkway's equity contribution of $5.2 million was funded through availability under the Company’s credit facility.  Parkway’s effective ownership interest in this asset is 30%.   Following the purchase of Hayden Ferry I, the total amount invested by Fund II is approximately $636.1 million or 84.8% of the fund’s investment capacity.

During the nine months ending September 30, 2011, the Company capitalized building improvements of $29.1 million and recorded depreciation expense of $59.8 million related to its office and parking properties.

(3)  
Parkway recognized a non-cash impairment loss of $967,000 in connection with the sale of the Tower at 1301 Gervais during the third quarter of 2011.

The Company is under contract to sell 111 East Wacker, a 1.0 million square foot office property located in the central business district of Chicago, Illinois, for a gross sale price of $150.6 million. The property currently serves as collateral for a $148.5 million non-recourse mortgage loan with a fixed interest rate of 6.3% and maturity date in July 2016.  As of September 22, 2011, the buyer has concluded its due diligence and has deposited earnest money of $2.4 million.  The sale is expected to close during the fourth quarter of 2011, subject to the buyer’s successful modification and assumption of the existing mortgage loan and customary closing conditions.  The Company recognized a non-cash impairment loss of $18.8 million in the third quarter of 2011 and has classified the property as held for sale with all income classified as discontinued operations for all current and prior periods presented.
 
 
The Company has reached an agreement in principle to sell its interests in the office portfolio owned by Fund I, for which Parkway is a limited partner and serves as general partner.  The office portfolio is comprised of 2.7 million square feet and Parkway’s effective ownership of the portfolio is approximately 28.2%.  The properties are secured by a total of $293.1 million in non-recourse mortgage loans, of which $82.7 million is Parkway’s share, with an average interest rate of 5.6%.  In connection with this agreement to sell the Company’s interests in the portfolio owned by Fund I, the Company recorded an impairment loss in the third quarter of 2011 totaling $100.2 million, of which $28.0 million is Parkway’s share.
      
Mortgage Loans.  At September 30, 2011, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment loss on a mortgage loan of $9.2 million in connection with the B participation piece of a first mortgage secured by an 844,000 square foot office property in Dallas, Texas known as 2100 Ross.  The borrower is currently in default on the first mortgage and based on current information, the Company does not believe it will recover its investment in the loan.  Therefore, Parkway has written off its investment in the mortgage loan.  The Company’s original cash investment in the loan was $6.9 million and was purchased in November 2007.

Receivables and Other Assets.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, receivables and other assets increased $28.7 million or 21.7% (includes other assets held for sale).  The net increase is primarily due to an increase in lease costs related to the purchase price allocation of eight office properties.

Intangible Assets, Net. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, intangible assets net of related amortization increased $70.6 million or 139.5% (includes other assets held for sale) and was primarily due to the purchase of eight office properties and $26.2 million of goodwill recorded during the period in connection with the Eola combination.
 
 
Management Contracts, Net.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, management contracts increased $50.7 million due to the Eola combination.

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 “Credit Facility”). The new Credit Facility has 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%.  The interest rate on the Company’s 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 Company’s Credit Facility ranging between 40 and 50 basis points based upon usage of the aggregate commitment, with the current rate set at 40 basis points.  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 September 20, 2011, the Company entered into an amendment to the revolving credit facility, which amendment became effective the date of its execution.  The amendment reduced the Tangible Net Worth requirement and adjusted the definition of FFO under the revolving credit facility.

Mortgage Notes Payable. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, mortgage notes payable increased $205.4 million or 26.6% (including liabilities held for sale) and is due to the placement of non-recourse mortgage loans on eight Fund II properties totaling $222.1 million and the assumption of the $87.2 million non-recourse mortgage loan related to the purchase of 3344 Peachtree, offset by the payoff of two mortgage loans and scheduled principal payments of $9.2 million.

On June 1, 2011, the Company repaid a $9.9 million non-recourse mortgage loan secured by Forum I, a 163,000 square foot office property in Memphis, Tennessee.  The mortgage loan had a fixed interest rate of 5.3%.  The Company repaid the mortgage loan using available proceeds under the credit facility.

Upon its maturity on June 1, 2011, the Company elected not to repay an $8.5 million non-recourse mortgage loan secured by the Wells Fargo Building, a 136,000 square foot office building in Houston.  This mortgage loan had a fixed interest rate of 4.4%.  The Company is currently in default on this mortgage and the lender has identified a third-party buyer for the mortgage.  The Company expects a loan foreclosure or deed in lieu of loan foreclosure on the property, and has recognized an impairment loss on real estate of $7.0 million during the third quarter of 2011.  Upon foreclosure, the Company expects to record a gain on foreclosure of $3.9 million.

On July 25, 2011, Fund II obtained a $22.0 million non-recourse mortgage loan secured by Hayden Ferry I, a 203,000 square foot office property located in Tempe submarket of Phoenix, Arizona.  The mortgage loan has a stated rate of LIBOR plus 200 basis points, an initial thirty-six month interest only period, and a maturity date of July 25, 2018.  In connection with this mortgage, Fund II entered into an interest rate swap that fixes the interest rate at 4.5% through January 25, 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 but are not limited to 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 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 net debt to EBITDA multiple is computed by comparing Parkway’s share of total net debt to EBITDA computed for a trailing 12-month period and adjusted pro forma for any completed 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 currently targets a net debt to EBITDA multiple of 6.5 times or less.

Preferred Stock.  On May 18, 2011, the Company issued approximately 1.0 million additional shares of its 8.0% Series D Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock to an institutional investor at a price of $25.00 per share, equating to a yield of 8.0%.  The Series D Preferred Stock has a $25.00 liquidation value per share and is redeemable at the option of the Company at any time upon proper notice.  The Company used the net proceeds of approximately $26.2 million to fund the combination with Eola and the Company’s share of equity contributions to purchase Fund II office properties.

 
32

 

Shelf Registration Statement.  The Company has a universal shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-156050) that was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 30, 2008.  The Company may offer from time to time in one or more series or classes (i) shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share; (ii) shares of preferred stock, par value $.001 per share; and (iii) warrants to purchase preferred stock or common stock.  As of October 1, 2011, the Company had approximately $141.2 million of securities available for issuance under the registration statement, including $75 million of common stock that may be issued in an at-the-market offering pursuant to Equity Distribution Agreements with four sales agents.

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

 
34

 

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 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 operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 (in thousands):

Results of Operations

Comments are for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the three months and  nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Net loss attributable to common stockholders for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, was $55.7 million ($2.59 per basic common share) and $3.6 million ($0.17 per basic common share), respectively.  Net loss attributable to common stockholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $77.2 million ($3.59 per basic common share) as compared to net income attributable to common stockholders of $3.4 million ($0.16 per basic common share) for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The primary reason for the decrease in net income attributable to common stockholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to the same period for 2010 in the amount of $80.6 million is primarily attributable to Parkway’s proportionate share of impairment losses on depreciable real estate recorded in the amount of $56.5 million, an impairment loss on a mortgage loan receivable in the amount of $9.2 million and Parkway’s proportionate share of acquisition costs recorded in the amount of $15.1 million associated with the Eola contribution of the Management Company and the Fund II office investments, offset by the change in fair value of contingent consideration in connection with the contribution of the Eola Management Company in the amount of $12.0 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.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company sold four office buildings totaling 1.6 million square feet for gross proceeds of $207.7 million.  Also during the third quarter of 2011, the Company entered into a contract to sell 111 East Wacker, a 1.0 million square foot office building in Chicago, Illinois.  Therefore, these five office buildings were no longer considered same-store properties during the third quarter of 2011 as they were classified as discontinued operations.  At September 30, 2011, same-store properties consisted of 57 properties comprising 10.2 million square feet.

Property operating expenses for same-store properties increased $878,000 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to the same period of 2010.  The primary reason for the increase is due to an increase in bad debt, personnel, and contract service expense.  Property operating expenses for same-store properties increased $565,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to the same period of 2010.  The primary reason for the increase is due to an increase in utilities.

Depreciation and amortization expense attributable to office and parking properties increased $11.3 million and $18.3 million for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to the same period for 2010, respectively.  The primary reason for the increase is due to the purchase of additional interests in office properties during 2010 and nine office properties during 2011.

Impairment Loss on Real Estate.  The Company recorded total impairment losses on real estate from continuing operations of $107.2 million and discontinued operations of $21.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  Parkway’s proportionate share of total impairment losses on real estate from continuing operations was $35.0 million and discontinued operations of $21.5 million, for a total of $56.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  Impairment losses on real estate in continuing operations are comprised of the $100.2 million loss (Parkway’s share $28.0 million) in connection with an agreement in principle to sell Parkway’s interests in the Fund I office portfolio and the $7.0 million loss associated with the Wells Fargo Building office property in Houston, Texas.  Impairment losses on real estate in discontinued operations are comprised of the $18.8 million loss in connection with the proposed sale of 111 East Wacker in Chicago, Illinois and a $2.7 million loss in connection with the sale of Tower at 1301 Gervais in Columbia, South Carolina.

Impairment Loss on Mortgage Loan Receivable.  At September 30, 2011, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment loss on a mortgage loan of $9.2 million in connection with the B participation piece of a first mortgage secured by an 844,000 square foot office property in Dallas, Texas known as 2100 Ross.  The borrower is currently in default on the first mortgage and based on current information, the Company does not believe it will recover its investment in the loan.  Therefore, Parkway has written off its investment in the mortgage loan.  The Company’s original cash investment in the loan was $6.9 million and was purchased in November 2007.

Acquisition Costs.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company incurred $16.8 million in acquisition costs related to the contribution of Eola’s management company to Parkway that closed during the second quarter of 2011 and the purchase of eight Fund II office properties.  Parkway’s proportionate share of acquisition costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $15.1 million.

Share-Based Compensation Expense. Compensation expense related to restricted shares and deferred incentive share units of $1.4 million and $877,000 was recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  Total compensation expense related to nonvested awards not yet recognized was $3.7 million at September 30, 2011.  The weighted average period over which the expense is expected to be recognized is approximately 2.3 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 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 are accounted for as equity-classified awards.

On May 18, 2011, the Board of Directors approved 63,241 FOCUS Plan long-term equity incentive awards to new officers of the Company.  The long-term equity incentive awards are valued at $577,000 which equates to an average price per share of $9.12 and consist of 11,384 time-based awards, 29,091 market condition awards subject to an absolute total return goal, and 22,766 market condition awards subject to a relative total return goal.  The Company also awarded 17,530 deferred incentive share units to approximately 136 other former employees of Eola who became employees of the Company effective May 18, 2011.  These shares are accounted for as equity-classified awards.

Also on May 18, 2011, the Board of Directors approved 68,802 FOCUS Plan long-term equity incentive awards to new officers of the Company effective June 1, 2011.  The long-term equity incentive awards are valued at $628,000 which equates to an average price per share of $9.13 and consist of 12,384 time-based awards, 31,649 market condition awards subject to an absolute total return goal, and 24,769 market condition awards subject to a relative total return goal.  These shares are accounted for as equity-classified awards.

On June 20, 2011, the Board of Directors approved 8,705 FOCUS Plan long-term equity incentive awards to officers of the Company.  The long-term equity incentive awards are valued at $68,000 which equates to an average price per share of $7.81 and consist of 534 time-based awards, 4,584 market condition awards subject to an absolute total return goal, and 3,587 market condition awards subject to a relative total return goal.  These shares are accounted for as equity-classified awards.

On July 1, 2011, 6,345 restricted shares vested and were issued to officers of the Company.  These shares were granted in July 2010 and vested one year from the grant date.

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.

Interest Expense. Interest expense, including amortization of deferred financing costs, increased $3.3 million or 32.5% and $6.7 million or 21.9% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, compared to the same period of 2010,  and is comprised of the following (in thousands):

Mortgage interest expense increased $3.1 million and $5.9 million for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to the same period for 2010, respectively, and is primarily due to new loans obtained or assumed during 2011 and 2010.

Credit Facility interest expense increased $596,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  The increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 is due to an increase in average borrowings of $27.2 million.  The increase in average borrowings is due to advances on the Credit Facility primarily to fund improvements to real estate, the Company’s share of equity contributions to purchase office properties through Fund II, and the combination with Eola.

During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, current income tax expense increased $131,000 and $238,000, respectively.  The increase is attributable to taxes that will be owed by the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiary which was formed as a result of the combination with Eola.  During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2011, deferred income tax benefit decreased $364,000 as
a result of the change in the $14.8 million of deferred tax liabilities recorded as part of the purchase price allocation associated with the Eola Management Company.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income”, which modifies reporting requirements for comprehensive income in order to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income in the financial statements.  ASU 2011-05 requires presentation of either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or two separate, but consecutive statements in which the first statement presents net income and its components followed by a second statement that presents total other comprehensive income, the components of other comprehensive income, and total comprehensive income.  The requirements of ASU 2011-05 will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2011-05 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, which allows an entity to first assess qualitative factors in determining when a two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test is necessary.  If an entity determines, based on qualitative factors, that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the entity would then be required to calculate the fair value of the reporting unit.  The requirements of ASU 2011-08 will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2011-08 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Statement of Cash Flows.  Cash and cash equivalents were $33.0 million and $29.1 million at September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  Cash provided by operating activities was $25.0 million and $53.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  The decrease in cash flows from operating activities of $28.2 million is primarily attributable to increased interest expense, deferred leasing costs, and acquisition costs paid during the period related to the Company’s combination with Eola and purchase of eight Fund II office properties.

Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was $349.9 million and $50.8 million, respectively.  The increase in cash used in investing activities of $299.1 million is primarily due to the purchases of office properties in 2011 and the contribution of the Eola Management Company, offset by proceeds from the sale of five office properties in 2011.

Cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $338.2 million compared to cash provided by financing activities of  $6.1 million, for the same period of 2010.  The increase in cash flows provided by financing activities of $332.1 million is primarily attributable to additional bank borrowings, proceeds from new mortgage loans, contributions from non-controlling interest partners to purchase office properties and proceeds from the issuance of preferred stock.

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 placement of new mortgage loans, proceeds from the refinancing of existing mortgages, proceeds from the sale of 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, which has a floating interest rate tied to LIBOR 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 cash flows and to attempt to lower its overall borrowing costs.  To achieve its objectives, the Company borrows at fixed rates when possible, but also utilizes an unsecured revolving credit facility.

At September 30, 2011, the Company had a total of $113.9 million outstanding under the following credit facilities (in thousands):

(1) The interest rate on the credit facilities is based on LIBOR plus 275 to 350 basis points, depending upon overall Company leverage as defined in the loan agreements for the Company’s Credit Facility, 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.  On September 20, 2011, the Company entered into an amendment to the revolving credit facility, which amendment became effective the date of its execution.  The amendment reduced the Tangible Net Worth requirement and adjusted the definition of FFO under the revolving credit facility.

The Company has 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, Corporate Center Four, Cypress Center, Bank of America Center, Two Ravinia, and Hayden Ferry I.  These swaps are considered to be fully effective and changes in the fair value of the swaps are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

On May 18, 2011, Fund II entered into three interest rate swaps with lenders of the loans secured by the following properties:


 
·  
Cypress Center in Tampa, Florida, for a $12.1 million notional amount that fixes the interest rate at 4.06% through November 18, 2015.

·  
Bank of America Center in Orlando, Florida, for a $33.9 million notional amount that fixes the interest rate at 4.74% through November 18, 2017.

·  
Two Ravinia in Atlanta, Georgia, for a $22.1 million notional amount that fixes the interest rate at 4.99% through November 18, 2018.

The Company designated these swaps as cash flow hedges of the variable interest rates associated with the mortgage loans.

On May 18, 2011, the Company issued approximately 1.0 million additional shares of its 8.0% Series D Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock to an institutional investor at a price of $25.00 per share, equating to a yield of 8.0%.  The Series D Preferred Stock has a $25.00 liquidation value per share and is redeemable at the option of the Company at any time upon proper notice.  The Company used the net proceeds of approximately $26.2 million to fund the combination with Eola and the Company’s share of equity contributions to purchase Fund II office properties.

On July 25, 2011, Fund II entered into an interest rate swap with the lender of the loan secured by Hayden Ferry I in Phoenix, Arizona, for a $22.0 million notional amount that fixes the interest rate at 4.5% through January 25, 2018.  The Company designated the swap as a cash flow hedge of the variable interest rate associated with the mortgage loan.

At September 30, 2011, the Company had $979.0 million in mortgage notes payable secured by office properties with an average interest rate of 5.8%, and $113.9 million drawn under the Company’s 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 September 30, 2011.

The Company monitors a number of leverage and other financial metrics, including but not limited to  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 nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was 2.76 and 2.75 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 nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was 1.86 and 1.88 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 nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was 2.22 and 2.42 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 pro forma for completed investment activities.  The net debt to EBITDA multiple for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was 5.61 and 6.01 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.

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 (including any guidance that NAREIT releases with respect to the definition). Funds from operations is defined by NAREIT as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), reduced by preferred dividends, excluding gains or losses on depreciable real estate 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.  On October 31, 2011, NAREIT issued updated guidance on reporting FFO such that impairment losses on depreciable real estate should be excluded from the computation of FFO for current and prior periods.  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 Company’s leases require customers to pay their pro rata share of operating expenses above an initial base year, 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.
