Parkway Properties, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
March 31, 2000

(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  1999
consolidated  financial  statements  to  conform  to   the   2000
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

      For the quarter ended March 31, 2000, the Company purchased
$9,996,000  in  common  equity of other  Real  Estate  Investment
Trusts.   The  real  estate equity securities are  classified  as
available-for-sale  securities and are reported  on  the  balance
sheet   at   fair  market  value.   A  valuation  allowance   and
corresponding  unrealized gains on real estate equity  securities
in  the  amount of $432,000 was recorded as of March 31, 2000  in
order to present the investments at fair market value.

(5)  Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

      In  June  1998,  the  FASB issued  Statement  of  Financial
Accounting   Standards   No.  133,  Accounting   for   Derivative
Instruments  and Hedging Activities ("FASB No. 133").   FASB  No.
133 is effective January 1, 2001.  FASB No. 133 requires that all
derivative instruments be recorded on the balance sheet at  their
fair  value.   Changes  in  the fair  value  of  derivatives  are
recorded  each  period in current earnings or other comprehensive
income,  depending on whether a derivative is designated as  part
of  a  hedge  transaction  and, if  it  is,  the  type  of  hedge
transaction.    The   Company  has  no  derivative   or   hedging
instruments   outstanding  as  of  March  31,  2000,   therefore,
management does not anticipate that the adoption of FASB No.  133
will  have  a  significant  effect on the  Company's  results  of
consolidated operations or its financial position.

<PAGE>

(6)  Notes Payable to Banks

      The  Company's  lines  of  credit  have  certain  financial
covenants.  As of March 31, 2000, the Company did not meet one of
those  covenants limiting the value of the unencumbered  pool  of
assets  to  no  more  than 20% in any one approved  market.   The
Company  expects  to  obtain a waiver of the covenant  to  ensure
compliance for the remainder of 2000.

(7)  Capital Transactions

      The Company has purchased 97,810 shares of its common stock
during the quarter ending March 31, 2000, at an average price  of
$27.78.   No  purchases have been made subsequent  to  March  31,
2000.   Since  June 1998, the Company has purchased  a  total  of
1,412,822   shares   of  its  common  stock,   which   represents
approximately  12.8%  of the common stock  outstanding  when  the
buyback program was initiated on June 30, 1998.

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, 2000 compared
to the balance sheet dated December 31, 1999.

      During the three months ending March 31, 2000, total assets
increased $16,242,000 and office properties (before depreciation)
increased $3,330,000 or .5%.

      Parkway's direct investment in office buildings and  office
redevelopment  increased  $6,541,000 net  of  depreciation  to  a
carrying  amount of $631,906,000 at March 31, 2000 and  consisted
of  51  operating  properties and one  redevelopment  project  in
progress.   During the three months ending March  31,  2000,  the
Company  also  capitalized building improvements  and  additional
purchase expenses of $3,330,000 and recorded depreciation expense
of $4,333,000 related to its office property portfolio.

      Office  buildings held for sale of $19,649,000 as of  March
31,  2000  consisted of three office properties in  the  Northern
Virginia  portfolio.  The decision to put the  Northern  Virginia
portfolio on the market for sale was based on management's belief
that  office properties in this market may be peaking  in  value.
The  Company  has  a  signed  contract  for  the  sale  of  these
properties  for a price of $28,700,000.  The closing is  expected
in  the  second quarter of 2000.  The Company expects to reinvest
approximately  $15  million of the proceeds in office  properties
with the remaining proceeds used to reduce short-term debt.   The
Company  is  also considering selling properties  in  Birmingham,
Alabama;  South  Carolina; Indianapolis,  Indiana;  Little  Rock,
Arkansas  and  a  50%  interest in a  property  in  New  Orleans,
Louisiana.   The  investment decisions will  be  based  upon  the
Company's  analysis of existing markets and competing  investment
opportunities.

      During  the three months ending March 31, 2000, the Company
incurred   office  redevelopment  costs  of  $7,544,000.    Costs
incurred  included capitalized interest costs of  $408,000.   The
Company's   redevelopment   costs   are   associated   with   the
redevelopment of the Moore Building, now known as Toyota  Center,
a  175,000  square foot, eight-story historic office building  in
downtown Memphis, Tennessee, and is scheduled to be completed  by
May  15,  2000.   Rents from approximately 23%  of  the  building
commenced  on  April 1, 2000, and 52% commenced on May  1,  2000.
Rent  on  the remaining 25% is expected to commence  on  June  1,
2000.  The adjacent 777-space garage was completed April 1,  2000
with   the  majority  of  the  pre-leased  monthly  parking  fees
commencing  on that day.  The building is owned by a  partnership
in  which  the  Company is the general partner.  The  partnership
added  an  institutional investor in March 2000  subject  to  the
certification of historic tax credits pertaining to the building.
The  Company  will have a subordinated note receivable  from  the
partnership  following the certification of  the  historical  tax
credits.  The Company will also receive asset management fees and
the building will be managed by Parkway Realty Services, a wholly-
owned subsidiary of the Company.  The partnership is scheduled to
close  a  $15,000,000  non-recourse first mortgage  note  on  the
Toyota Center on May 18, 2000.  The note will bear interest at an
effective  rate  of  8.0%, amortize over a twenty-year  term  and
mature ten years from the funding date.
<PAGE>
      At  March  31,  2000, non-core assets, other than  mortgage
loans,  totaled $4,283,000.  The Company expects to continue  its
efforts to liquidate these assets.

      For the quarter ended March 31, 2000, the Company purchased
$9,996,000  in  common  equity of other  Real  Estate  Investment
Trusts.   The  real  estate equity securities are  classified  as
available-for-sale  securities and are reported  on  the  balance
sheet   at   fair  market  value.   A  valuation  allowance   and
corresponding  unrealized gains on real estate equity  securities
in  the  amount of $432,000 was recorded as of March 31, 2000  to
present the investments at fair market value.

      Notes  payable to banks totaled $114,720,000 at  March  31,
2000 and are the result of advances under bank lines of credit to
purchase  additional  office  properties,  make  improvements  to
office properties, fund redevelopment costs, purchase real estate
equity securities and purchase Company stock.

     Mortgage notes payable without recourse decreased $2,475,000
during  the  three months ended March 31, 2000 due  to  scheduled
principal payments.

      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  acquisitions.  In addition, volatility  in  the
price  of the Company's common stock, which is out of the control
of   the   Company,  may  result  in  a  debt  to  total   market
capitalization exceeding 45% from time to time.  In  addition  to
the  debt to total market capitalization ratio, the Company  also
monitors  interest  and fixed charge coverage  ratios.   Interest
coverage  ratios  are  computed by comparing  the  cash  interest
accrued  to  earnings  before interest, taxes,  depreciation  and
amortization.  The interest coverage ratio for the  three  months
ending  March  31,  2000  and  1999  was  2.89  and  3.40  times,
respectively.   Fixed  charge coverage  ratios  are  computed  by
comparing the cash interest accrued, principal payments  paid  on
mortgage  loans  and preferred dividends paid to earnings  before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.  The fixed charge
overage ratio for the three months ending March 31, 2000 and 1999
was 1.73 and 1.85 times, respectively.

      Stockholders' equity decreased $2,065,000 during the  three
months  ended March 31, 2000 as a result of the following factors

                                                  =======

      The Company has purchased 97,810 shares of its common stock
during this quarter, at an average price of $27.78.  No purchases
have  been  made subsequent to March 31, 2000.  Since June  1998,
the  Company  has purchased a total of 1,412,822  shares  of  its
common  stock, which represents approximately 12.8% of the common
stock outstanding when the buyback program was initiated on  June
30, 1998.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comments  are for the three months ended March 31, 2000  compared
to the three months ended March 31, 1999.

      Net  income available for common stockholders for the three
months ended March 31, 2000 was $4,880,000 ($.49 per basic common
share)  as  compared to $4,907,000 ($.49 per basic common  share)
for  the  three months ended March 31, 1999.  Net income included
net  gains  from the sale of the real estate and other assets  in
the amount of $86,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1999.

      The primary reason for the increase in the Company's income
before  gains  for 2000 as compared to 1999 is the reflection  of
the  operations of the following office buildings  subsequent  to
the date of purchase:

                Building              Purchase Date   Sq. Feet
     -------------------------------  -------------  ----------

                                ========    ========

      Net  losses  on operations of other real estate  properties
held  for  sale  were $15,000 and $65,000 for  the  three  months
ending  March  31,  2000  and 1999, respectively,  and  consisted
primarily of property taxes on land held for sale.

       The  $207,000  increase  in  interest  expense  on  office
properties is primarily due to the mortgage loans assumed  and/or
new  loans placed in 1999. The average interest rate on  mortgage
notes   payable  as  of  March  31,  2000  and  1999  was   7.4%,
respectively.

     The  $850,000  increase in contractual interest  expense  on
bank notes for the three months ending March 31, 2000 compared to
the  three months ending March 31, 1999 is primarily due  to  the
increase  in the average balance of borrowings outstanding  under
bank  lines of credit from $40,937,000 during 1999 to $99,462,000
during 2000.  In addition, weighted average interest rates  under
existing  bank lines of credit increased from 6.3% for the  three
months  ending March 31, 1999 to 7.4% for the three months ending
March 31, 2000.

     General  and  administrative expenses  were  $1,161,000  and
$832,000  for  the three months ended March 31,  2000  and  1999,
respectively.   The primary reason for the $329,000  increase  is
due  to  the amortization of restricted stock shares approved  by
the shareholders at the June 3, 1999 annual meeting of $260,000.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Statement of Cash Flows

      Cash  and  cash equivalents were $136,000 and  $885,000  at
March  31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively.  The Company
generated  $4,026,000  in  cash flows from  operating  activities
during  the  three  months  ending March  31,  2000  compared  to
$7,632,000  for  the  same  period of  1999.   The  Company  used
$21,373,000  in  investing activities  during  the  three  months
ending  March 31, 2000.  In implementing its investment strategy,
the  Company  used  $9,996,000  to purchase  real  estate  equity
securities.   The Company also spent $3,834,000 to  make  capital
improvements at its office properties and $7,544,000  toward  the
Memphis  real  estate redevelopment project.  Cash  dividends  of
$6,308,000  ($.50  per  common share and $.546875  per  preferred
share)  were paid to stockholders, 97,810 shares of common  stock
were repurchased for a total of $2,717,000 and principal payments
<PAGE>
of  $2,475,000  were  made on mortgage notes payable  during  the
three months ending March 31, 2000.

Liquidity

     The  Company  plans  to continue pursuing  the  purchase  of
additional   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 office properties held for  sale
and cash balances to fund those acquisitions.  At March 31, 2000,
the Company had $114,720,000 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
AmSouth 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
interest  rate on the $10 million line and the $150 million  line
was 7.3% and 7.429%, respectively, at March 31, 2000.

     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 pays an annual administration  fee  of
$3,000.  The Company also pays fees on the unused portion of  the
line  based upon overall Company leverage, with the current  rate
set at 25 basis points.

     The  $150 million line is also unsecured and is expected  to
fund acquisitions of additional 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 pays an annual administration fee of  $37,500.
The  Company also pays unused fees on the unused portion  of  the
line  based upon overall Company leverage, with the current  rate
set at 25 basis points.

     At  March  31,  2000, the Company had $212,261,000  of  non-
recourse  fixed  rate  mortgage notes  payable  with  an  average
interest   rate  of  7.40%  secured  by  office  properties   and
$114,720,000  drawn  under bank lines of credit.   Based  on  the
Company's    total   market   capitalization   of   approximately
$683,999,000 at March 31, 2000 (using the March 31, 2000  closing
price   of  $29.4375  per  common  share),  the  Company's   debt
represented    approximately   47.8%   of   its   total    market
<PAGE>
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  acquisitions.  In addition, volatility  in  the
price  of the Company's common stock, which is out of the control
of  the  Company,  may result in a debt to market  capitalization
exceeding  45%  from time to time.  In addition to  the  debt  to
total  market  capitalization ratio, the  Company  also  monitors
interest  and  fixed charge coverage ratios.   Interest  coverage
ratios  are  computed by comparing the cash interest  accrued  to
earnings  before interest, taxes, depreciation and  amortization.
The interest coverage ratio for the three months ending March 31,
2000  and  1999  was  2.89 and 3.40 times,  respectively.   Fixed
charge  coverage  ratios  are  computed  by  comparing  the  cash
interest  accrued, principal payments paid on mortgage loans  and
preferred  dividends  paid to earnings  before  interest,  taxes,
depreciation  and amortization.  The fixed charge coverage  ratio
for  the three months ending March 31, 2000 and 1999 was 1.73 and
1.85 times, respectively.

     The  table  below  presents the principal payments  due  and
weighted average interest rates for the fixed rate debt.

*Remaining nine months

     The Company presently has plans to make capital improvements
at  its  office properties in 2000 of approximately  $20,619,000.
These   expenses   include   tenant   improvements,   capitalized
acquisition   costs   and   capitalized  building   improvements.
Approximately $4,070,000 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.

     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.

      The  Company's  lines  of  credit  have  certain  financial
covenants.  As of March 31, 2000, the Company did not meet one of
<PAGE>
those  covenants limiting the value of the unencumbered  pool  of
assets  to  no  more  than 20% in any one approved  market.   The
Company  expects  to  obtain a waiver of the covenant  to  ensure
compliance for the remainder of 2000.

Funds From Operations

     Management believes that funds from operations ("FFO") is an
appropriate measure of performance for equity REITs.  Funds  from
operations is 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.   In  addition,
effective  January 1, 2000, NAREIT has clarified that FFO  should
include both recurring and non-recurring operating results except
those  defined  as  extraordinary items under generally  accepted
accounting  principles  and  gains  or  losses  from   sales   of
depreciable operating property.  The Company's calculation of FFO
shown below is consistent with NAREIT's recent clarification  and
includes  an  adjustment of $86,000 for the three  months  ending
March 31, 1999 to include gains on sales of real estate held  for
sale  during  that  quarter.   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 rent if rents on
the existing leases are below the then-existing market rate.

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  that
are  not in the present or past tense, that discuss the Company's
beliefs,  expectations or intentions or those pertaining  to  the
Company's   capital   resources,  profitability   and   portfolio
performance  and  estimates  of market  rental  rates.   Forward-
looking statements involve numerous risks and uncertainties.  The
following  factors,  among others discussed  herein  and  in  the
Company's  filings  under the Securities Exchange  Act  of  1934,
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, environmental uncertainties, risks related  to
natural disasters, financial market fluctuations, changes in real
estate  and zoning laws and increases in real property tax rates.
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
<PAGE>
factors  discussed  elsewhere  in  this  Form  10-Q  and  in  the
Company's  filings  under the Securities Exchange  Act  of  1934.
Readers  are  cautioned not to place undue reliance  on  forward-
looking  statements, which reflect management's analysis only  as
