Parkway Properties, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
March 31, 1999

(1)  Basis of Presentation

      The  consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of  Parkway Properties, Inc. ("Parkway" or "the Company") and its
100%    owned   subsidiaries.    All   significant   intercompany
transactions and accounts have been eliminated.

       The   accompanying   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  financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the annual report and the notes thereto.

(2)  Reclassifications

      Certain  reclassifications  have  been  made  in  the  1998
financial statements to conform to the 1999 classifications.

(3)  Supplemental Cash Flow Information

      The Company considers all highly liquid investments with  a
maturity  of  three  months or less when  purchased  to  be  cash
equivalents.

(4)  Acquisitions and Dispositions

      On January 12, 1999 the Company purchased the 46,000 square
foot  Moorefield I building in  Richmond, Virginia for $3,900,000
including the assumption of $1,936,000 mortgage note payable with
a  7.625%  interest rate.  The Moorefield I office  building  was
constructed in 1984 and is located in western suburban  Richmond.

(5)  Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

      In  June  1998,  the Financial Accounting  Standards  Board
issued  Statement No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities", which is required to be adopted in years
beginning after June 15, 1999.  The Company has no derivative  or
hedging  instruments outstanding as of March 31, 1999; therefore,
management  does  not  anticipate that the adoption  of  the  new
Statement  will  have  a significant effect on  the  consolidated
results of operations or the financial position of the Company.

(6)  Capital Transactions

      On  March  2,  1999,  the Board of Directors  approved  the
repurchase of 500,000 shares of the Company's common  stock.   As
of March 31, 1999, 26,034 shares had been purchased at an average
price of $28.39.  Through May 13, 1999, 155,343 shares have  been
purchased at an average price of $27.89.

Item  2.   Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis  of  Financial
Condition and Results of Operations.

Financial Condition

Comments  are for the balance sheet dated March 31, 1999 compared
to the balance sheet dated December 31, 1998.

      During the first quarter of 1999, the Company purchased one
office  property.  Total assets increased $1,568,000  and  office
properties (before depreciation) increased $8,151,000 or 1.4%.

      Parkway's direct investment in office buildings and  office
redevelopment  increased  $5,481,000 net  of  depreciation  to  a
carrying  amount of $573,725,000 at March 31, 1999 and  consisted
of 51 properties.

      On January 12, 1999 the Company purchased the 46,000 square
foot  Moorefield I building in Richmond, Virginia for  $3,900,000
including  the assumption of a $1,936,000 mortgage  note  payable
with  a  7.625% interest rate.  The Moorefield I office  building
was  constructed  in  1984  and is located  in  western  suburban
Richmond.

      During the quarter ending March 31, 1999, the Company  also
capitalized   building  improvements  and   additional   purchase
expenses  of  $4,251,000  and recorded  depreciation  expense  of
$3,850,000.

      During  the  quarter  ending March 31,  1999,  the  Company
incurred office redevelopment costs of $1,180,000.  Costs incurred
include capitalized interest costs of $78,000.

       Parkway  sold various non-core assets during  the  quarter
that  resulted  in  gains  for financial  reporting  purposes  of
$86,000  and net proceeds of $401,000.  At March 31,  1999,  non-
core  assets  other than mortgage loans totaled $4,283,000.   The
Company  expects  to  continue its  efforts  to  liquidate  these
assets.

      Notes payable to banks totaled $47,269,000 at March 31 1999
and  are  the  result of advances under bank lines of  credit  to
purchase  additional  office properties  and  repurchase  company
stock.

      Mortgage  notes  payable without recourse decreased  a  net
$260,000  due to the assumption of existing debt on the  purchase
of  the Moorefield I building recorded at a rate of 7.625% in the
amount   of  $1,936,000  and  scheduled  principal  payments   of
$2,195,000  during the quarter ended March 31, 1999  on  existing
notes  payable without recourse.  The Company expects to continue
seeking  fixed  rate, non-recourse mortgage  financing  at  terms
ranging  from  ten  to  twenty years on  select  office  building
investments  as additional capital is needed.  The Company  plans
to  maintain a ratio of debt to total market capitalization  from
25%  to 45% although such ratio may from time to time temporarily
exceed  45%, especially when the Company has incurred significant
amounts   of   short  term  debt  in  connection  with   property
acquisitions.

      Stockholders' equity decreased $304,000 during the  quarter
ended  March  31, 1999 as a result of the following  factors  (in

      On  March  2,  1999,  the Board of Directors  approved  the
repurchase of 500,000 shares of the Company's common  stock.   As
of  March  31,  1999,  26,034 shares have been  purchased  at  an
average price of $28.39.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comments  are for the three months ended March 31, 1999  compared
to the three months ended March 31, 1998.

      Net  income available for common stockholders for the three
months ended March 31, 1999 was $4,907,000 ($.49 per basic common
share)  as  compared to $5,570,000 ($.55 per basic common  share)
for  the  three months ended March 31, 1998.  Net income included
net gains from the sale of the real estate and mortgage loans  in
the  amounts of $86,000 and $952,000 for the quarters ended March
31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

      The primary reason for the increase in the Company's income
before  gains  for 1999 as compared to 1998 is the reflection  of
the  operations of the following office buildings  subsequent  to
the date of purchase:

                Building              Purchase Date    Sq. Feet

      *On  February 25, 1998, the Company purchased a 13-building
portfolio (the "Brookdale Portfolio") which totaled approximately
1,470,000  net  rentable  square feet  that  included  properties
located in five of its primary markets and three new markets.  On
July  1,  1998, the Company sold two properties acquired  in  the
Brookdale Portfolio with a total square footage of 251,000.

      Net  losses  on operations of other real estate  properties
held  for  sale  were $65,000 and $30,000 for  the  three  months
ending March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

      The  increase  in interest expense on office properties  is
primarily  due  to  the mortgage loans assumed and/or  new  loans
placed  in 1999 and 1998. The average interest rate on   mortgage
notes payable as of March 31, 1999 was 7.4%.

     The $553,000 decrease in interest expense on banks notes for
the  three  months ending March 31, 1999 compared  to  the  three
months ending March 31, 1998 is primarily due to the $105,135,000
decrease  in  amounts outstanding under existing  bank  lines  of
credit at March 31, 1999 compared to March 31, 1998.  The balance
in  notes  payable  to  banks as of March 31,  1998  included  an
advance of $75,000,000 on an unsecured loan from NationsBank, NA.
The  NationsBank, NA facility required the negative pledge of the
13  office  properties purchased February 25,  1998  and  matured
August  25, 1998.  This loan was repaid in full on June 30,  1998
with  proceeds from a $97,000,000 mortgage note payable at 6.945%
that amortizes over a 15-year term and matures July 1, 2008.
     
     On  October  7, 1998, the Company closed a three  year  $150
million  unsecured credit facility with a consortium of 14  banks
arranged by Chase Securities, Inc.  The interest rate on the  new
line  of  credit  is  equal to LIBOR plus 112.5  to  137.5  basis
points,  depending upon overall company leverage, with  the  rate
set at 6.307% as of March 31, 1999 compared to 7.033% as of March
31, 1998.  The new credit facility reflects a .726% interest rate
reduction (based on leverage at March 31, 1999) and a $50 million
increase  over the previous lines of credit, which  were  secured
lines of credit.  The lead agent for the credit facility is Chase
Bank  of Texas, which is joined by a syndicate of banks including
PNC Bank, serving as documentation agent, Wells Fargo Bank, First
Union   National  Bank,  Southtrust  Bank,  AmSouth  Bank,  First
National  Bank  of Commerce, Compass Bank, First Tennessee  Bank,
Hibernia National Bank, First American National Bank operating as
Deposit Guaranty National Bank, Comerica Bank, Trustmark National
Bank, and Bancorp South Bank.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Statement of Cash Flows

    Cash  and  cash equivalents were $710,000 and  $2,937,000  at
March  31, 1999 and December 31, 1998, respectively.  The Company
generated  $7,632,000  in  cash flows from  operating  activities
during  the quarter ending March 31, 1999 compared to $11,155,000
for  the  same  period of 1998.  The Company used  $7,377,000  in
investing  activities during the quarter ending March  31,  1999.
In   implementing  its  investment  strategy,  the  Company  used
$1,965,000,  not including closing costs and certain  capitalized
expenses, to purchase office properties while receiving net  cash
proceeds  from  the  sale of non-core assets  of  $401,000.   The
Company also spent $3,968,000 to make capital improvements at its
office  properties. Cash dividends of $5,989,000 ($.45 per common
share   and   $.546875  per  preferred  share)   were   paid   to
shareholders, 26,034 shares of Common Stock were repurchased  for
a  total  of  $739,000 and principal payments of $2,195,000  were
made  on  mortgage notes payable during the quarter ending  March
31, 1999.

Liquidity

     The  Company  plans  to continue pursuing  the  purchase  of
office  building  investments that meet the Company's  investment
criteria  and intends to use bank lines of credit, proceeds  from
the  sale  of  non-core assets and cash balances  to  fund  those
acquisitions.   At  March 31, 1999, the Company  had  $47,269,000
outstanding under two bank lines of credit.
     
     The Company is exposed to interest rate changes primarily as
a  result  of  its  lines of credit and long-term  debt  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 earnings and cash  flows
and  to  lower  its  overall borrowing  costs.   To  achieve  its
objectives, the Company borrows at fixed rates, but  also  has  a
three-year $150 million unsecured revolving credit facility  with
a  consortium  of  14  banks with Chase Bank of  Texas,  National
Association  serving as the lead agent (the "$150 million  line")
and  a three-year $10 million unsecured line of credit with First
American  Bank, operating as Deposit Guaranty National Bank  (the
"$10  million line").  The interest rates on the lines of  credit
are  equal  to  the 30 day LIBOR rate plus 112.5 to  137.5  basis
points,  depending  upon overall Company leverage.   The  average
interest  rate on the $10 million line and the $150 million  line
was  6.213%  and 6.307%, respectively, at March  31,  1999.   The
table  below  presents the principal payments  due  and  weighted
average interest rates for the fixed rate debt.

*Remaining nine months

     The  $10  million line is unsecured and is expected to  fund
the  daily cash requirements of the Company's treasury management
system.   This line of credit matures September 30, 2001 and  has
an  interest  rate equal to the 30 day LIBOR rate plus  112.5  to
137.5 basis points, depending upon overall Company leverage, with
the  current  rate  set at LIBOR plus 137.5  basis  points.   The
Company  paid  a  facility fee of 40 basis points ($40,000)  upon
closing of the loan and will pay an annual administration fee  of
$3,000.  The Company will also pay fees on the unused portion  of
the  line  based upon overall Company leverage, with the  current
rate set at the maximum of 25 basis points.

     The  $150 million line is also unsecured and is expected  to
fund  acquisitions  of  additional office  building  investments.
This  line of credit matures October 7, 2001 and has an  interest
rate  equal  to the LIBOR rate plus 112.5 to 137.5 basis  points,
depending  upon overall Company leverage, with the  current  rate
set  at  LIBOR  plus  137.5 basis points.   The  Company  paid  a
facility  fee of $150,000 and originating fees of $432,500  (28.8
basis  points)  upon closing of the loan and will pay  an  annual
administration fee of $37,500.  The Company will also pay  unused
fees on the unused portion of the line based upon overall Company
leverage,  with the current rate set at the maximum of  25  basis
points.
     
     At  March  31,  1999, the Company had $201,581,000  of  non-
recourse  fixed  rate  mortgage notes  payable  with  an  average
interest  rate  of  7.379%  secured  by  office  properties   and
$47,269,000  drawn  under bank lines of  credit.   Based  on  the
Company's    total   market   capitalization   of   approximately
$599,505,000 at March 31, 1999 (using the March 31, 1999  closing
price   of   $28.1875  per  common  share)  the  Company's   debt
represented    approximately   41.5%   of   its   total    market
capitalization.  The Company plans to maintain a ratio of debt to
total  market capitalization from 25% to 45% although such  ratio
may from time to time temporarily exceed 45%, especially when the
Company  has incurred significant amounts of short-term  debt  in
connection with property acquisitions.

     The Company presently has plans to make capital improvements
at  its  office properties in 1999 of approximately  $21,000,000.
These   expenses   include   tenant   improvements,   capitalized
acquisition   costs   and   capitalized  building   improvements.
Approximately $9,000,000 of these improvements relate to upgrades
on  properties acquired in recent years that were anticipated  at
the  time of purchase.  All such improvements are expected to  be
financed  by  cash flow from the properties and advances  on  the
bank lines of credit.

     In  the  routine  management  of  its  portfolio  of  office
properties,  the  Company evaluates changes in market  conditions
that  indicate  an opportunity or need to sell properties  within
that  market in order to maximize shareholder value.  The Company
also  evaluates other factors, including its ability to  purchase
sufficient property in a market to justify the implementation  of
self  management,  the  speculative  development  of  new  office
properties  within  the market and the demand  for  office  space
within  the  market as evidenced by job growth and  office  space
absorption in deciding whether or not a property should be  sold.
As  a  result  of  this  evaluation, the Company  is  considering
selling  its property located in Birmingham, Alabama. The Company
has made numerous attempts to purchase sufficient property in the
market  to justify the implementation of self-management but  has
been  unsuccessful, as prices have risen to amounts that make  it
difficult or impossible to make purchases that meet the Company's
buying criteria.  There can be no assurance that the Company will
be  able  to sell this property or on what terms such sale  would
occur.
     
     The  Company  anticipates  that its  current  cash  balance,
operating cash flows, proceeds from the sale of office properties
held  for  sale  and borrowings (including borrowings  under  the
working  capital  line of credit) will be  adequate  to  pay  the
Company's  (i) operating and administrative expenses,  (ii)  debt
service  obligations, (iii) distributions to  shareholders,  (iv)
capital  improvements,  and  (v) normal  repair  and  maintenance
expenses at its properties both in the short and long term.

Funds From Operations

      Management believes that funds from operations ("FFO")  are
an  appropriate measure of performance for equity  REITs.   Funds
from  operations are defined by the National Association of  Real
Estate  Investment  Trusts  (NAREIT)  as  net  income  or   loss,
excluding  gains or losses from debt restructuring and  sales  of
properties,  plus  depreciation  and  amortization,   and   after
adjustments  for unconsolidated partnerships and joint  ventures.
In March 1995, NAREIT issued a clarification of the definition of
FFO.   The  clarification provides that amortization of  deferred
financing  costs and depreciation of non-real estate  assets  are
not  to be added back to net income to arrive at FFO.  Funds from
operations  does  not  represent cash  generated  from  operating
activities  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting
principles  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

      In the last five years, 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.  Most of the
leases  require  the  tenants to pay  their  pro  rata  share  of
operating  expenses,  including  common  area  maintenance,  real
estate  taxes  and  insurance,  thereby  reducing  the  Company's
exposure  to  increases  in  operating  expenses  resulting  from
inflation.   In  addition, the Company's  leases  typically  have
three to five year terms, which may enable the Company to replace
existing leases with new leases at a higher base if rents on  the
existing leases are below the then-existing market rate.

Impact of Year 2000

     In  August 1998, the Company adopted a comprehensive uniform
plan  to  address  the issue of Year 2000 Compliance.   The  plan
addresses  problems  that might arise in  information  technology

<PAGE>

systems,   building  systems  that  rely  upon   date   sensitive
microprocessors, and third party tenants, manufacturers,  vendors
and suppliers.
     
     The  Company's  plan  is a multi-phase process  whereby  the
following  steps  are  taken:   (1)  inventory  all  Company  and
building  systems which could possibly be affected  by  the  Year
2000  issue;  (2)  contact the manufacturer of  each  inventoried
system and determine the Year 2000 Compliance status of each; (3)
assign  priorities  based upon the relative  importance  of  each
system;  (4) anticipate contingencies and develop a comprehensive
plan  to  address issues that arise under various scenarios;  (5)
identify  solutions  to identified problems;  and  (6)  test  all
systems and solutions.
     
     As  of March 31, 1999, the inventory of all systems was  96%
complete.  Additionally, all inventoried systems were prioritized
and  a  significant number of manufacturer, vendor  and  supplier
responses  to  inquiries had been received.  The testing  of  all
systems  is  scheduled  for  the  second  quarter  of  1999,  and
contingency planning will take place throughout the second, third
and fourth quarters of 1999.
     
     Parkway  has completed the upgrade of all critical  business
application services to full Year 2000 compliance standards.   We
have   received  the  necessary  updates  on  all  core  business
applications and are in the process of installing these  updates.
We  will begin the testing phase of our plan on these servers and
their applications during the second quarter of 1999.  All system
workstations  have been tested and those that were not  compliant
will be phased out before the end of the year.
     
     Building    systems   that   rely   upon   date    sensitive
microprocessors  include  the hardware, software  and  associated
embedded  microprocessors used in the operation of all  buildings
owned  by the Company.  Testing of these systems is currently  in
process,  and  repair,  retrofitting  or  replacement,  is  being
performed  as necessary.  Internal evaluations and correspondence
with  equipment manufacturers have revealed that a vast  majority
of  this  equipment  is  not dependent upon  the  date  sensitive
microprocessors  and  will  not require  alteration  to  function
properly before, during and after the Year 2000.
     
     Third party influences on the Company's Year 2000 compliance
status  include tenants, suppliers and vendors.   All  have  been
contacted  regarding their compliance status and  their  possible
impact   on  the  Company's  operations  as  a  result   of   the
interoperability  of applicable systems.  All tenants  have  been
contacted  and  informed of the Company's plan to  be  compliant.
Additionally, inquiries have been forwarded to vendors with  whom
the  Company conducts business (namely financial institutions and
utility  firms).   Responses to these inquiries are  still  being
received  and  evaluated  to  determine  appropriate  courses  of
action.   Company contingency plans will address these responses,
as well as the questions and needs of all tenants.
     
     The cost of the Company's Year 2000 compliance effort is not
expected  to  be  material to the Company's  financial  position.
Estimated  total expenditures required to be Year 2000  compliant
are expected to be between $250,000 and $500,000, some portion of
which  would  have been expended irrespective of  the  Year  2000
issue.
     
<PAGE>
     
     The  Company's  plan  is expected to  reduce  the  level  of
uncertainty  regarding the Year 2000 issue; however,  uncertainty
surrounding the issue still exists as a result of the uncertainty
of  the Year 2000 readiness of third party suppliers and vendors.
As  a  result  of  this  uncertainty, the Company  is  unable  to
determine,  at this time, whether the consequences of  Year  2000
failures  will have a material impact on the Company's operations
or financial condition.

Forward-Looking Statements

      In addition to historical information, certain sections  of
this Form 10-Q may contain forward-looking statements within  the
meaning  of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section
21E  of  the  Securities  Exchange Act of  1934,  such  as  those
pertaining to the Company's capital resources, profitability  and
portfolio   performance.   Forward-looking   statements   involve
numerous  risks and uncertainties.  The following factors,  among
others  discussed herein, could cause actual results  and  future
events  to differ materially from those set forth or contemplated
in  the  forward-looking statements: defaults or  non-renewal  of
leases, increased interest rates and operating costs, failure  to
obtain  necessary outside financing, difficulties in  identifying
properties  to acquire and in effecting acquisitions, failure  to
qualify  as  a  real estate investment trust under  the  Internal
Revenue  Code  of  1986,  as amended (the "Code"),  environmental
uncertainties,  risks  related  to natural  disasters,  financial
market  fluctuations,  changes in real estate  and  zoning  laws,
increases  in  real  property tax rates and the  ability  of  the
Company   and  the  parties  on  which  the  Company  relies   to
successfully  comply with the Year 2000 issues.  The  success  of
the  Company  also  depends  upon  the  trends  of  the  economy,
including   interest   rates,  income  tax   laws,   governmental
regulation,  legislation,  population  changes  and  those   risk
factors  discussed  elsewhere in this  Form  10-Q.   Readers  are
cautioned   not   to  place  undue  reliance  on  forward-looking
statements, which reflect management's analysis only as the  date
