Parkway Properties, Inc. is a real estate investment trust ("REIT") specializing in the operation, leasing, acquisition and ownership of office properties. The Company performs these services for its own account and for other institutional investors through co-ownership structures such as discretionary funds and/or partnerships. The terms "we," "us," "our," "Parkway," or the "Company" refer to Parkway Properties, Inc. individually or together with its subsidiaries. The Company is geographically focused on the Southeastern and Southwestern United States and Chicago. Parkway and its predecessors have been public companies engaged in the real estate business since 1971, and the management team has had experience managing a public real estate company through all phases of the real estate business cycle. As part of its strategy, the Company places an emphasis on property operations and customer satisfaction with an ultimate goal of achieving a high level of customer retention. The Company is self-administered, in that it provides its own investment and administrative services internally through its own employees. The Company is also self-managed, as it internally provides the management, maintenance and other real estate services that its properties require through its own employees, such as property managers and engineers and in some cases, leasing professionals. In addition Parkway is self-leased for renewal leases for the majority of its office property portfolio.

At January 1, 2010, Parkway owned or had an interest in 65 office properties located in 11 states with an aggregate of approximately 13.4 million square feet of leasable space. Included in the portfolio are one discretionary fund and several partnership arrangements which encompass 21 properties totaling 3.9 million square feet, representing 29% of the portfolio. With the discretionary fund and/or partnerships, the Company receives fees for asset management, property management, leasing and construction management services and potentially receives incentive fees upon sale if certain investment targets are achieved. Increasing the number of co-investments, and consequently the related fee income, is part of the Company's strategy to transform itself to an operator-owner versus an owner-operator. The strategy highlights the Company's strength in providing excellent service in the operation and acquisition of office properties for investment clients in addition to its direct ownership of real estate assets. Fee-based real estate services are offered through the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Parkway Realty Services LLC, which also manages and/or leases approximately 1.3 million square feet for third-party owners at January 1, 2010.

Parkway is a focused office REIT with a hands-on, service-oriented approach, a disciplined capital allocation program and a willingness to recycle assets. However, we continue to focus on the Company's strategy of transforming itself to an operator-owner from an owner-operator. As part of the Company's culture, strategic plans play an important role in planning for our future. Our attention is focused on 2010 and beyond as we continue to stand firm in our strategy to maximize shareholder returns by managing our balance sheet to achieve a debt to gross asset value ratio of approximately 50% and a debt to earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") multiple of 6.5 times. Additionally, the Company will continue exiting non-strategic markets and entering key growth markets where Parkway can attain a critical mass of at least one million square feet. Focusing on customer retention continues to be a core part of the Company's business and sets Parkway apart from other office property owners. Finally, the Company will continue to increase fee income and maximize our return on equity and accretion by taking advantage of investment opportunities while near the bottom of the recessionary cycle in our $750.0 million discretionary fund with Teacher Retirement System of Texas ("TRS").

Parkway intends to continue raising discretionary funds and forming partnerships with select investors. Under the terms of these funds and partnerships, where applicable, Parkway will manage all phases of the investment cycle including acquisition, financing, operations, leasing and dispositions. The Company will receive fees for providing these services. At December 31, 2009, Parkway had two discretionary funds and five partnership agreements of this nature.

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, L.P. ("Ohio PERS Fund I") with Ohio Public Employees 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, which is capitalized with approximately $200.0 million of equity capital and $300.0 million of non-recourse, fixed-rate first mortgage debt. At February 15, 2008, the Ohio PERS Fund I was fully invested.

The Ohio PERS Fund I targeted properties with a leveraged internal rate of return of greater than 11%. 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. After each partner has received a 10% annual cumulative preferred return and a return of invested capital, 60% will be distributed to Ohio PERS and 40% to Parkway. The term of the Ohio PERS Fund I will be seven years until February 2015, with provisions to extend the term for two additional one-year periods.

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, L.P. ("Texas Teachers Fund II") with TRS for the purpose of acquiring high-quality multi-tenant office properties. TRS 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. The Company intends to fund its share of equity contributions with proceeds from asset sales, line of credit advances and/or sales of equity securities. The Texas Teachers 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 other growth markets to be determined by Parkway.

The Texas Teachers 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 will be 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 TRS and 44% to Parkway. Parkway has four years from the inception date, 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 Texas Teachers Fund II's specific criteria or selling or joint venturing currently owned properties. The term of Texas Teachers 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 December 31, 2009, no investments had been made on behalf of Texas Teachers Fund II.

The Company benefits from a fully integrated management infrastructure, provided by its wholly-owned management subsidiary, Parkway Realty Services LLC ("Parkway Realty"). In addition to the Company's owned properties, Parkway Realty currently manages and/or leases approximately 5.2 million net rentable square feet for third-party owners, joint venture interests and fund properties. The Company intends to expand its third-party fee business through funds or similar ventures as well as through third party management and leasing contracts. In 2009, the Company expanded Parkway Realty in Jacksonville, Florida and Houston, Texas.

The Company expects to continue seeking 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 the total debt to total asset value ratio as defined in the loan agreements for the $311.0 million unsecured line of credit. In addition to the total debt to total asset value ratio, the Company monitors interest, fixed charge and modified fixed charge coverage ratios as well as the debt to EBITDA multiple. Management believes the total debt to total asset value, interest coverage, fixed charge coverage and modified fixed charge coverage ratios as well as the debt to EBITDA multiple 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.

Parkway may, in appropriate circumstances, acquire one or more properties in exchange for Parkway's equity securities. Parkway has no set policy as to the amount or percentage of its assets which may be invested in any specific property. Rather than a specific policy, Parkway evaluates each property in terms of whether and to what extent the property meets Parkway's investment criteria and strategic objectives. The strategies and policies set forth above were determined, and are subject to review by, Parkway's Board of Directors which may change such strategies or policies based upon their evaluation of the state of the real estate market, the performance of Parkway's assets, capital and credit market conditions, and other relevant factors.

Capital allocation receives constant review by management and the Board of Directors considering many factors including the capital markets, our weighted average cost of capital, buying criteria (written and published), the real estate market and management of the risk associated with the rate of return. We examine all aspects of each type of investment whether it is a fund asset, Parkway common stock, a mortgage loan receivable or a fee simple purchase. Each carries a relationship to replacement cost which is still an important underwriting discipline for us. Each has a current yield and a leveraged and unleveraged internal rate of return that can be measured on a relative and absolute basis. Currently, management views investing in funds and similar ventures as the highest priority of our capital allocation because it produces the highest risk adjusted return as measured by internal rate of return and current cash return. Other investment alternatives are available to us but with lesser return or slightly higher risk so we are principally focused on funds or similar ventures at the present time. During 2009, the REIT industry continued to experience significant volatility in capitalization rates. As a result, the Company continues to monitor its buying criteria and to exercise discipline when making capital allocation decisions.

Parkway's primary business is the operation and ownership 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 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.

Parkway's management team consists of experienced office property specialists with proven capabilities in office property (i) operations; (ii) leasing; (iii) management; (iv) acquisition/disposition; (v) financing; (vi) capital allocation; and (vii) accounting and financial reporting. Parkway's 14 senior officers have an average of 22 years of real estate industry experience, and have worked together at Parkway for an average of 17 years. Management has developed a highly service-oriented operating culture and believes that its focus on operations, proactive leasing, property management and asset management activities will result in higher customer retention and occupancy and will translate into enhanced stockholder value.

The Company is self-administered and self-managed and maintains its principal executive offices in Jackson, Mississippi. At December 31, 2009, the Company had 259 employees. The operations of the Company are conducted from approximately 17,000 square feet of office space located at 188 East Capitol Street, One Jackson Place, Suite 1000, Jackson, Mississippi. The building is owned by Parkway and is leased by Parkway at market rental rates.

Parkway makes available free of charge on the "Investor Relations" page of its web site, www.pky.com, its filed and furnished reports on Form 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K and all amendments thereto, as soon as reasonably practicable after Parkway electronically files such material with, or furnishes it to, the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Company's Corporate Governance Guidelines, Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and the Charters of the Audit Committee, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors are available on the "Investor Relations" page of Parkway's web site. Copies of these documents are also available free of charge in print upon written request addressed to Investor Relations, Parkway Properties, Inc., One Jackson Place, Suite 1000, 188 East Capitol Street, Jackson, Mississippi 39201.

In addition to the other information contained or incorporated by reference in this document, readers should carefully consider the following risk factors. Any of these risks or the occurrence of any one or more of the uncertainties described below could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and the performance of its business. The Company refers to itself as "we" or "our" in the following risk factors.

Our performance is subject to risks inherent in owning real estate investments.

Our investments are generally made in office properties. We are, therefore, generally subject to risks incidental to the ownership of real estate. These risks include:

Should any of these events occur, our financial condition and our ability to make expected distributions to stockholders could be adversely affected.

Substantially all of our properties are located in the Southeastern and Southwestern United States and Chicago and, therefore, our financial condition and ability to make distributions to our stockholders is linked to economic conditions in these markets as well as the market for office space generally in these markets. A downturn in these markets may adversely affect our cash flows and ability to make distributions to stockholders.

Substantially all of our revenues and income come from rental income from real property. As such, our revenues and income could be adversely affected if a significant number of our customers defaulted under their lease obligations. Our ability to manage our assets is also subject to federal bankruptcy laws and state laws that limit creditors' rights and remedies available to real property owners to collect delinquent rents. If a customer becomes insolvent or bankrupt, we cannot be sure that we could recover the premises from the customer promptly or from a trustee or debtor-in-possession in any bankruptcy proceeding relating to that customer. We also cannot be sure that we would receive rent in the proceeding sufficient to cover our expenses with respect to the premises. If a customer becomes bankrupt, the federal bankruptcy code will apply and, in some instances, may restrict the amount and recoverability of our claims against the customer. A customer's default on its obligations to us could adversely affect our financial condition and the cash we have available for distributions to our stockholders.

Real estate investments are relatively illiquid. Our ability to vary our portfolio by selling properties and buying new ones in response to changes in economic and other conditions may therefore be limited. In addition, the Internal Revenue Code limits our ability to sell our properties by imposing a penalty tax of 100% on the gain derived from prohibited transactions, which are defined as sales of property held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of a trade or business. The frequency of sales and the holding period of the property sold are two primary factors in determining whether the property sold fits within this definition. These considerations may limit our opportunities to sell our properties. If we must sell an investment, we cannot assure you that we will be able to dispose of the investment in the time period we desire or that the sales price of the investment will recoup or exceed our cost for the investment, or that the penalty tax would not be assessed.

Our current and future joint venture investments could be adversely affected by the capital markets, our lack of sole decision-making authority, our reliance on joint venture partners' financial condition and any disputes that may arise between us and our joint venture partners.

Co-investing with third parties through joint ventures is a part of our ongoing business strategy. We may not be in a position to exercise sole decision-making authority regarding the properties owned through joint ventures. Investments in joint ventures may, under certain circumstances, involve risks not present when a third party is not involved, including reliance on our joint venture partners and the possibility that joint venture partners might become bankrupt or fail to fund their share of required capital contributions, thus exposing us to liabilities in excess of our share of the investment. The funding of Parkway's capital contributions may be dependent on proceeds from asset sales, line of credit advances and/or sales of equity securities. In limited cases, such as gross neglect, the Company can be terminated as the provider of certain fee-based services. Joint venture partners may have business interests or goals that are inconsistent with our business interests or goals and may be in a position to take actions contrary to our policies or objectives. Any disputes that may arise between us and joint venture partners may result in litigation or arbitration that would increase our expenses.

Our properties are subject to various federal, state and local regulatory requirements, such as environmental laws, state and local fire and safety requirements, building codes and land use regulations.

Failure to comply with these requirements could subject us to governmental fines or private litigant damage awards. We believe that our properties are currently in material compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements. However, we do not know whether existing requirements will change or whether future requirements, including any requirements that may emerge from pending or future climate change legislation, will require us to make significant unanticipated expenditures that will adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We, or in certain instances, customers of our properties, carry commercial general liability, fire and extended coverage insurance with respect to our properties. This coverage has policy specifications and insured limits that we believe are customarily carried for similar properties. We plan to obtain similar coverage for properties we acquire in the future. However, certain types of losses, generally of a catastrophic nature, such as earthquakes and floods, may be either uninsurable or not economically insurable. Should a property sustain damage, we may incur losses due to insurance deductibles, to co-payments on insured losses or to uninsured losses. In the event of a substantial property loss, the insurance coverage may not be sufficient to pay the full current market value or current replacement cost of the property. In the event of an uninsured loss, we could lose some or all of our capital investment, cash flow and anticipated profits related to one or more properties. Inflation, changes in building codes and ordinances, environmental considerations, and other factors also might make it not feasible to use insurance proceeds to replace a property after it has been damaged or destroyed. Under such circumstances, the insurance proceeds we receive might not be adequate to restore our economic position with respect to such property.

We have existing debt and refinancing risks that could affect our cost of operations.

We currently have both fixed and variable rate indebtedness and may incur indebtedness in the future, including borrowings under our credit facilities, to finance possible acquisitions and for general corporate purposes. As a result, we are and expect to be subject to the risks normally associated with debt financing including:

An increase in interest rates would reduce our net income and funds from operations. We may not be able to refinance or repay debt as it becomes due which may force us to refinance or to incur additional indebtedness at higher rates and additional cost or, in the extreme case, to sell assets or seek protection from our creditors under applicable law.

A lack of any limitation on our debt could result in our becoming more highly leveraged.

Our governing documents do not limit the amount of indebtedness we may incur. Accordingly, our Board of Directors may incur additional debt and would do so, for example, if it were necessary to maintain our status as a REIT. We might become more highly leveraged as a result, and our financial condition and cash available for distribution to stockholders might be negatively affected and the risk of default on our indebtedness could increase.

The cost and terms of mortgage financings may render the sale or financing of a property difficult or unattractive.

The sale of a property subject to a mortgage may trigger pre-payment penalties, yield maintenance payments or make-whole payments to the lender, which would reduce the amount of gain or increase our loss on the sale of a property and could make the sale of a property less likely. Certain of our mortgages will have significant outstanding principal balances on their maturity dates, commonly known as "balloon payments." There is no assurance that we will be able to refinance such balloon payments on the maturity of the loans, which may force disposition of properties on disadvantageous terms or require replacement with debt with higher interest rates, either of which would have an adverse impact on our financial performance and ability to pay distributions to investors.

If the economic downturn continues in the long-term, our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition could be adversely affected.

In the U.S., market and economic conditions continue to be challenging with tighter credit conditions and modest growth. While recent economic data reflects a stabilization of the economy and credit markets, the cost and availability of credit may continue to be adversely affected. Furthermore, deteriorating economic conditions including business layoffs, downsizing, industry slowdowns and other similar factors that affect our customers could negatively impact commercial real estate fundamentals and result in lower occupancy, lower rental rates and declining values in our real estate portfolio. The timing of changes in occupancy levels tends to lag the timing of changes in overall economic activity and employment levels. Additionally, the economic situation could have an impact on our lenders or customers, causing them to fail to meet their obligations to us. No assurances can be given that the effects of the current economic conditions will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may amend our investment strategy and business policies without your approval.

Our Board of Directors determines our growth, investment, financing, capitalization, borrowing, REIT status, operating and distribution policies. Although the Board of Directors has no present intention to amend or revise any of these policies, these policies may be amended or revised without notice to and approval from stockholders. Accordingly, stockholders may not have control over changes in our policies.

Loss of our tax status as a real estate investment trust would have significant adverse consequences to us and the value of our securities.

We believe that we qualify for taxation as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, and we plan to operate so that we can continue to meet the requirements for taxation as a REIT. To qualify as a REIT we must satisfy numerous requirements (some on an annual and quarterly basis) established under the highly technical and complex provisions of the Internal Revenue Code ("Code") applicable to REITs, which include:

The distribution requirement noted above could adversely affect our ability to use earnings for improvements or acquisitions because funds distributed to stockholders will not be available for capital improvements to existing properties or for acquiring additional properties.

Only limited judicial and administrative interpretations exist of the REIT rules. In addition, qualification as a REIT involves the determination of various factual matters and circumstances not entirely within our control.

If we fail to qualify as a REIT, we will be subject to federal income tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on our taxable income at corporate rates. In addition, unless entitled to relief under certain statutory provisions, we will be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which we failed to qualify. This treatment would reduce net earnings available for investment or distribution to stockholders because of the additional tax liability for the year or years involved. In addition, we would no longer be required to make distributions to our stockholders. To the extent that distributions to stockholders had been made based on our qualifying as a REIT, we might be required to borrow funds or to liquidate certain of our investments to pay the applicable tax.

As a REIT, we have been and will continue to be subject to certain federal, state and local taxes on our income and property.

The requirements necessary to maintain our REIT status may limit our ability to earn additional fee income at the REIT level, which may cause us to conduct fee-generating activities through a taxable REIT subsidiary.

The REIT provisions of the Code may limit our ability to earn additional management fee and other fee income from joint ventures and third parties. Our aggregate gross income from fees and certain other non-qualifying sources cannot exceed 5% of our annual gross income. As a result, our ability to increase the amount of fee income we earn at the REIT level may be limited, and we may have to conduct fee-generating activities through a taxable REIT subsidiary. Any fee income we earn through a taxable REIT subsidiary would be subject to federal, state, and local income tax at regular corporate rates, which would reduce our net income from our fee-generating activities.

There is a risk of changes in the tax law applicable to real estate investment trusts.

Since the Internal Revenue Service, the United States Treasury Department and Congress frequently review federal income tax legislation, we cannot predict whether, when or to what extent new federal tax laws, regulations, interpretations or rulings will be adopted. Any of such legislative action may prospectively or retroactively modify our tax treatment and, therefore, may adversely affect taxation of us and/or our investors.

Limitations on the ownership of our common stock may preclude the acquisition or change of control of our Company.

Certain provisions contained in our charter and bylaws and certain provisions of Maryland law may have the effect of discouraging a third party from making an acquisition proposal for us and may thereby inhibit a change of control. Provisions of our charter are designed to assist us in maintaining our qualification as a REIT under the Code by preventing concentrated ownership of our capital stock that might jeopardize REIT qualification. Among other things, these provisions provide that, if a transfer of our stock or a change in our capital structure would result in (1) any person (as defined in the charter) directly or indirectly acquiring beneficial ownership of more than 9.8% (in value or in number, whichever is more restrictive) of our outstanding equity stock excluding Excess Stock, (2) our outstanding shares being constructively or beneficially owned by fewer than 100 persons, or (3) our being "closely held" within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code, then:

Excess Stock has no dividend or voting rights but holders of Excess Stock do have certain rights in the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up. Our charter provides that we will hold the Excess Stock as trustee for the person or persons to whom the shares are ultimately transferred, until the time that the shares are retransferred to a person or persons in whose hands the shares would not be Excess Stock and certain price-related restrictions are satisfied. These provisions may have an anti-takeover effect by discouraging tender offers or purchases of large blocks of stock, thereby limiting the opportunity for stockholders to receive a premium for their shares over then-prevailing market prices. Under the terms of our charter, our Board of Directors has the authority to waive these ownership restrictions.

Furthermore, under our charter, the Board of Directors has the authority to classify and reclassify any of our unissued shares of capital stock into shares of capital stock with such preferences, rights, powers and restrictions as the Board of Directors may determine. The authorization and issuance of a new class of capital stock could have the effect of delaying or preventing someone from taking control of us, even if a change in control were in our stockholders' best interests.

There may be future dilution of our common stock, and resales of our common stock in the public market following a stock offering that may cause the market price for our common stock to fall.

Our Charter authorizes our Board of Directors to, among other things, issue additional shares of capital stock without stockholder approval. We may issue common stock, preferred stock or securities convertible or exchangeable into equity securities to raise additional capital. Holders of our common stock have no preemptive rights that entitle them to purchase their pro rata share of any offering of shares of any class or series. Accordingly, the issuance of any additional shares of common or preferred stock or convertible securities could be substantially dilutive to existing holders of our common stock. At December 31, 2009, 21,624,228 shares of our common stock and 2,400,000 shares of our Series D preferred stock were issued and outstanding. Furthermore, the resale by shareholders of our common stock in the public market following this offering or any future offering could have the effect of depressing the market price for our common stock.

The market price of our common stock may fluctuate widely as a result of a number of factors, many of which are outside our control. In addition, the stock market is subject to fluctuations in share prices and trading volumes that affect the market prices of the shares of many companies. These broad market fluctuations have adversely affected and may continue to adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Among the factors that could affect the market price of our common stock are:

Maryland business statutes may limit the ability of a third party to acquire control of us.

Maryland law provides protection for Maryland corporations against unsolicited takeovers by limiting, among other things, the duties of the directors in unsolicited takeover situations. The duties of directors of Maryland corporations do not require them to (a) accept, recommend or respond to any proposal by a person seeking to acquire control of the corporation, (b) authorize the corporation to redeem any rights under, or modify or render inapplicable, any stockholders rights plan, (c) make a determination under the Maryland Business Combination Act, or (d) act or fail to act solely because of the effect of the act or failure to act may have on an acquisition or potential acquisition of control of the corporation or the amount or type of consideration that may be offered or paid to the stockholders in an acquisition. Moreover, under Maryland law the act of a director of a Maryland corporation relating to or affecting an acquisition or potential acquisition of control is not subject to any higher duty or greater scrutiny than is applied to any other act of a director. Maryland law also contains a statutory presumption that an act of a director of a Maryland corporation satisfies the applicable standards of conduct for directors under Maryland law.

The Maryland Business Combination Act provides that unless exempted, a Maryland corporation may not engage in business combinations, including mergers, dispositions of 10 percent or more of its assets, certain issuances of shares of stock and other specified transactions, with an "interested stockholder" or an affiliate of an interested stockholder for five years after the most recent date on which the interested stockholder became an interested stockholder, and thereafter unless specified criteria are met. An interested stockholder is generally a person owning or controlling, directly or indirectly, 10 percent or more of the voting power of the outstanding stock of the Maryland corporation.

The Company operates and invests principally in office properties in the Southeastern and Southwestern United States and Chicago, but is not limited to any specific geographical region or property type. At January 1, 2010, the Company owned or had an interest in 65 office properties comprising approximately 13.4 million square feet of office space located in 11 states.

During 2009, the Company did not make any investments in office properties. However, investments in office properties during 2008 were funded through a variety of sources, including:

• Fixed rate, non-recourse mortgage financing with maturities ranging from five to ten years; and

Other than as discussed under "Item 1. Business", the Company intends to hold and operate its portfolio of office buildings for investment purposes. The Company does not propose any program for the renovation or improvement of any of the office buildings other than those discussed in "Item 2 - Properties - Significant Properties", except as called for under the renewal of existing leases or the signing of new leases or improvements necessary to upgrade recent acquisitions to the Company's operating standards. All such improvements are expected to be financed by cash flow from the portfolio of office properties, advances on the Company's line of credit or contributions from partners.

We believe that our insurance coverage contains policy specifications and insured limits that are customary for similar properties, business activities and markets, and we believe our properties are adequately insured. However, an uninsured loss could result in loss of capital investment and anticipated profits.

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

The following table sets forth certain information about office properties the Company owned or had an interest in at January 1, 2010:

(1) Includes 44 office properties owned directly and 21 office properties owned through joint ventures.

(2) Average rent per square foot is defined as the weighted average current gross rental rate including expense escalations for leased office space in the building at January 1, 2010.

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

(4) The percentage of leases expiring in 2010 represents the ratio of square feet under leases expiring in 2010 divided by total net rentable square feet.

The following table sets forth scheduled lease expirations for properties owned at January 1, 2010 on leases executed at January 1, 2010, assuming no customer exercises renewal options:

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

(2) Weighted average expiring gross rental rate is the weighted current rental rate including escalations for operating expenses.

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

The office properties are leased to 1,332 customers, which are in a wide variety of industries including banking, insurance, professional services (including legal, accounting, and consulting), energy, financial services and telecommunications. Our largest customer and 25 largest customers accounted for 5.1% and 42.3% respectively, of our annualized rental revenue. The following table sets forth information concerning the 25 largest customers of the properties owned directly or through joint ventures at January 1, 2010 (in thousands, except footnotes):

We compete with a considerable number of other real estate companies seeking to acquire and lease office space in Chicago. Principal factors of competition in our business are the quality of properties (including the design and condition of improvements), leasing terms (including rent and other charges and allowances for tenant improvements), attractiveness and convenience of location, the quality and breadth of tenant services provided and reputation as an owner and operator of quality office properties in the relevant market. Our ability to compete also depends on, among other factors, trends in the national and local economies, financial condition and operating results of current and prospective tenants, availability and cost of capital, taxes and governmental regulations and legislation.

The Company did not have any material liens or encumbrances that exceeded 10% of total assets at December 31, 2009.

Since January 1, 1996, Parkway has pursued a strategy of liquidating its non-strategic assets and using the proceeds from such sales to acquire office properties and pay down short-term debt. The Company defines non-strategic assets as all office and parking properties in markets where the Company has not achieved critical mass of greater than one million square feet as well as markets that do not have higher rent growth potential. Additionally, the Company has 12 acres of undeveloped land in New Orleans, Louisiana that is considered a non-strategic asset.

The Company and its subsidiaries are, from time to time, parties to litigation arising from the ordinary course of their business. Management of Parkway does not believe that any such litigation will materially affect the financial position or operations of Parkway.

ITEM 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.

The Company's common stock ($.001 par value) is listed and trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "PKY". The number of record holders of the Company's common stock at January 1, 2010, was 2,336.

At March 1, 2010, the last reported sales price per common share on the New York Stock Exchange was $17.08. The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the high and low last reported sales prices per share of the Company's common stock and the per share cash distributions paid by Parkway during each quarter.

Common stock distributions during 2009 and 2008 ($1.30 and $2.275 per share, respectively) were taxable as follows for federal income tax purposes:

In the budgeting and planning process for 2010, the Company contemplated its overall capital needs and the opportunities that are anticipated over the next few years in light of the sources of capital that are available to us. The Company thinks it is advisable to make more discretionary capital available to the Company at this point in the cycle for acquisition opportunities, both on behalf of Texas Teachers Fund II and other opportunities that may arise outside of the fund. This led to the decision to raise an additional $22 million per annum in capital by reducing the common stock dividend to $0.30 per share per annum, which approximates projected 2010 taxable income. Many factors weighed into the Company's decision to make this large dividend adjustment. First, the increased costs associated with leasing the Company's existing and future vacancies during this recessionary cycle; second, the desire to further improve the balance sheet to meet capital structure goals set out in early 2009; third, to make available additional capital for the investments the Company is now seeing in the market place for Texas Teachers Fund II; and finally, to give the Company more discretionary capital available at this point in the cycle for acquisition opportunities that might be seen outside of Texas Teachers Fund II.

The following table shows the high and low Series D preferred share prices and per share distributions paid for each quarter of 2009 and 2008 reported by the New York Stock Exchange.

At January 1, 2010, there were five holders of record of the Company's 2.4 million outstanding shares of Series D preferred stock. Series D preferred stock distributions during 2009 and 2008 were taxable as follows for federal income tax purposes:

(1) As permitted under the Company's equity compensation plan, these shares were withheld by the Company to satisfy tax withholding obligations for employees in connection with the vesting of stock. Shares withheld for tax withholding obligations do not affect the total number of shares available for repurchase under any approved common stock repurchase plan. At December 31, 2009, the Company did not have an authorized stock repurchase plan in place.

See Item 12 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, "Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters," for certain information regarding the Company's equity compensation plans.

ITEM 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Parkway is a self-administered and self-managed REIT specializing in the acquisition, operations, leasing and ownership of office properties. The Company is geographically focused on the Southeastern and Southwestern United States and Chicago. At January 1, 2010, Parkway owned or had an interest in 65 office properties located in 11 states with an aggregate of approximately 13.4 million square feet of leasable space. Included in the portfolio are 21 properties totaling 3.9 million square feet that are owned jointly with other investors, representing 29% of the portfolio. The Company's goal is to transform itself from being an owner-operator to being an operator-owner. The Company will continue executing on this strategy, which highlights the Company's strength in providing excellent service in the operation of office properties in addition to its direct ownership of real estate assets. Fee-based real estate services are offered through the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Parkway Realty Services LLC, which also manages and/or leases approximately 1.3 million square feet for third-party owners at January 1, 2010. The Company generates revenue primarily by leasing office space to its customers and providing management 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 January 1, 2010, occupancy of Parkway's office portfolio was 87.0% compared to 88.3% at October 1, 2009 and 90.1% at January 1, 2009. To combat rising vacancy, Parkway utilizes innovative approaches to produce new leases. These include the Broker Bill of Rights, a short-form service agreement and customer advocacy programs which are models in the industry and have helped the Company maintain occupancy at a premium above the national occupancy rate of approximately 83%. Parkway currently projects an average annual occupancy range of approximately 85.0% to 87.0% during 2010 for its office properties.

Rental Rates. An increase in vacancy rates has the effect of reducing market rental rates and vice versa. Parkway's leases typically have three to seven year terms. As leases expire, the Company replaces the existing leases with new leases at the current market rental rate. At January 1, 2010, Parkway had $0.84 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 and the weighted average market rental rate. Parkway currently expects embedded rent loss per square foot to increase in 2010.

Customer Retention. Keeping existing customers is important as high customer retention leads to increased occupancy, less downtime between leases, and reduced leasing costs. Parkway estimates that it costs 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 rise as market vacancies increase. Therefore, Parkway focuses a great deal 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 71.0% customer retention rate. Parkway's customer retention for the year ended December 31, 2009 was 61.9% compared to 70.7% for the year ended December 31, 2008. Lower customer retention in 2009 was driven by the loss of 43 customers totaling approximately 265,000 square feet due to financial distress and the Company's decision to take back approximately 135,000 square feet in connection with early lease renewals. These two factors contributed to the decline in occupancy in 2009 and had a 13% negative impact on customer retention for the year.

Discretionary Funds. On July 6, 2005, Parkway, through affiliated entities, entered into a limited partnership agreement forming Ohio PERS Fund I 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, which is capitalized with approximately $200.0 million of equity capital and $300.0 million of non-recourse, fixed-rate first mortgage debt. At February 15, 2008, Ohio PERS Fund I was fully invested.

The Ohio PERS Fund I targeted properties with an anticipated leveraged internal rate of return of greater than 11%. 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. After each partner has received a 10% annual cumulative preferred return and a return of invested capital, 60% will be distributed to Ohio PERS and 40% to Parkway. The term of Ohio PERS Fund I will be seven years until February 2015, with provisions to extend the term for two additional one-year periods.

On May 14, 2008, Parkway, through affiliated entities, entered into a limited partnership agreement forming a $750.0 million discretionary fund, known as Texas Teachers Fund II with the TRS for the purpose of acquiring high-quality multi-tenant office properties. TRS 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. The Company intends to fund its share of equity contributions with proceeds from asset sales, line of credit advances and/or sales of equity securities. The Texas Teachers 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 other growth markets to be determined by Parkway.

Parkway is a focused office REIT with a hands-on, service-oriented approach, a disciplined capital allocation program and a willingness to recycle assets. However, we continue to focus on the Company's strategy of transforming itself to an operator-owner from an owner-operator. As part of the Company's culture, strategic plans play an important role in planning for our future. Our attention is focused on 2010 and beyond as we continue to stand firm in our strategy to maximize shareholder returns by managing our balance sheet to achieve a debt to gross asset value ratio of approximately 50% and a debt to EBITDA multiple of 6.5 times. Additionally, the Company will continue exiting non-strategic markets and entering key growth markets where Parkway can attain a critical mass of at least one million square feet. Focusing on customer retention continues to be a core part of the Company's business and sets Parkway apart from other office property owners. Finally, the Company will continue to increase fee income and maximize our return on equity and accretion by taking advantage of investment opportunities while near the bottom of the recessionary cycle in our $750.0 million discretionary fund with TRS.

As we entered 2009, the Company outlined several goals which we wanted to accomplish throughout the year. Those goals and related accomplishments are listed below:

• Pay down short-term debt and improve the balance sheet. At December 31, 2008, the Company had $185.9 million outstanding on our line of credit as compared to $100.0 million outstanding at December 31, 2009. The reduction in our outstanding balance on the line of credit is principally a result of the $84.5 million common stock offering in April 2009.

• Delay new investments in the Texas Teachers Fund II until there is further clarity in values. The Company did not make any investments on behalf of Texas Teachers Fund II during 2009, however we expect there will be good opportunities for accretive purchases in 2010.

• Reduce expenses at the corporate and property level. The Company reduced its property operating expenses, excluding bad debt expense, by approximately $1.0 million and reduced general and administrative expenses by approximately $3.6 million compared to 2008.

• Achieve embedded rent growth on expiring leases. During 2009, the Company signed renewal and expansion leases totaling 2.0 million square feet with a rental rate decrease of $0.38 per square foot, or a 1.6% decline, which was better than anticipated at the beginning of the year.

• Make strategic sales of assets. During 2009, we completed the sale of two non-strategic office properties in Hampton Roads, Virginia and Houston, Texas for a total gross sales price of $16.5 million.

• Act upon opportunities. The significant investment opportunities from distressed real estate owners and lenders that the Company expected to see in 2009 did not occur. However, we do expect to see these type of opportunities arise in 2010. We did accomplish the expansion of Parkway Realty and our third-party business in Jacksonville, Florida and Houston, Texas during the year.

Comments are for the balance sheet dated December 31, 2009 as compared to the balance sheet dated December 31, 2008.

Office and Parking Properties. In 2009, Parkway continued the execution of its strategy of operating office properties, as well as liquidating non-strategic assets that either no longer meet the Company's investment criteria or the Company has determined value will be maximized by selling. The Company delayed new investments in office properties in 2009 until there was further clarity in values but expects that there will be investment opportunities in 2010. During the year ended December 31, 2009, total assets decreased $75.7 million or 4.5% and office and parking properties and real estate development (before depreciation) increased $491,000 or 0.03%.

Parkway's investment in office and parking properties decreased $53.3 million net of depreciation, to a carrying amount of $1.4 billion at December 31, 2009 and consisted of 59 office and parking properties. The primary reason for the decrease in office and parking properties relates to the net effect of building improvements, and development costs, offset by the sale of two office properties and depreciation recorded during the year.

During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company capitalized building improvements and additional purchase costs of $27.4 million and recorded depreciation expense of $67.6 million related to its office and parking properties.

During the year ended December 31, 2009, Parkway sold two office properties as follows (in thousands):

Investment in unconsolidated joint ventures. For the year ended December 31, 2009, investment in unconsolidated joint ventures decreased $8.5 million or 77.3% and is due to a non-cash other-than-temporary impairment loss totaling $8.8 million recognized during the fourth quarter of 2009 in connection with the valuation of the Company's investments in RubiconPark I, LLC and RubiconPark II, LLC. The impairment is principally due to two customers totaling over 120,000 square feet in the office properties that are unable to meet their rent obligations due to financial difficulty. Of the total square footage, 90,000 square feet has been vacated and another 30,000 square feet is expected to be vacated during 2010. Additionally, on January 20, 2010, the Company's joint venture partner, Rubicon U.S. REIT, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, rendering our partner unable to support their continuing share of the joint venture obligations.

Intangible Assets, Net. For the year ended December 31, 2009, intangible assets net of related amortization decreased $17.7 million or 22.3% and was primarily due to annual amortization of the existing intangible assets.

Accounts Payable and Other Liabilities. Accounts payable and other liabilities decreased by $10.3 million or 10.4% for the year ended December 31, 2009 primarily due to a reduction in accrued development costs, the amortization of below market lease intangible liabilities and the decrease in the market value liability associated with interest rate swaps.

Notes Payable to Banks. Notes payable to banks decreased $85.9 million or 46.2% for the year ended December 31, 2009. At December 31, 2009, notes payable to banks totaled $100.0 million and the decrease is primarily attributable to proceeds received from the Company's April 2009 $84.5 million common stock offering.

The Company's $311.0 million unsecured credit facility requires compliance with a number of restrictive financial covenants, including tangible net worth, fixed charge coverage ratio, unencumbered interest coverage ratio, total debt to total asset ratio, secured debt to total asset value ratio, secured recourse debt to total asset value ratio and unencumbered pool restrictions. At December 31, 2009 the Company was in compliance with these financial covenants.

Mortgage Notes Payable. Mortgage notes payable decreased $16.9 million or 1.9% during the year ended December 31, 2009, as a result of the following (in thousands):

On February 27, 2009, the Company paid off the mortgage note payable secured by the 1717 St. James, 5300 Memorial and Town and Country office buildings in Houston, Texas, with a total principal balance of $21.8 million with advances under the Company's line of credit. The mortgage had an interest rate of 4.83% and was scheduled to mature March 1, 2009. The mortgage represented the Company's only outstanding maturity in 2009.

On May 4, 2009, the Company placed an $18.5 million seven-year non-recourse first mortgage with a fixed interest rate of 7.6% per annum, and the proceeds were used to reduce borrowings under the line of credit. The mortgage is secured by two office buildings in Houston, Texas totaling 303,000 square feet.

On February 8, 2010, the Company completed a $35.0 million non-recourse, fixed-rate first mortgage loan related to the refinance of a $60.0 million recourse mortgage that was scheduled to mature in May 2010. The loan bears interest at 7.25% and is secured by the Company's Capital City Plaza building in Atlanta, Georgia. The loan will mature in March 2017 and includes the option to be prepaid at the end of five years at a cost of 1% of the outstanding loan balance. The Company used its existing line of credit to pay the $25.0 million difference on the maturing loan.

The Company expects to continue seeking 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 the total debt to total asset value ratio as defined in the loan agreements for the $311.0 million unsecured line of credit. In addition to the total debt to total asset value ratio, the Company monitors interest, fixed charge and modified fixed charge coverage ratios and the debt to 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 debt to EBITDA multiple is computed by comparing Parkway's share of total debt to EBITDA computed for a trailing 12-month period. Management believes the total debt to total asset value, interest coverage, fixed charge coverage and modified fixed charge coverage ratios and debt to EBITDA multiple 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 computation of the Company's proportionate share of the interest, fixed charge, modified fixed charge coverage ratios, the debt to EBITDA multiple and the reconciliation of net income to EBITDA are as follows for the year ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 (in thousands):

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

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 only using EBITDA 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, 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 year ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 (in thousands):

Equity. Total equity increased $37.4 million or 7.0% during the year ended December 31, 2009 as a result of the following (in thousands):

On April 28, 2009, the Company sold 6.25 million shares of common stock to UBS Investment Bank at a gross offering price of $13.71 per share and a net price of $13.56 per share. The Company used the net proceeds of $84.5 million to reduce outstanding borrowings under the Company's line of credit and for general corporate purposes.

On December 23, 2009, the Company entered into agreements under which it may issue up to $75.0 million in common stock in an at the market ("ATM") offering with Wells Fargo Securities, Bank of America/Merrill Lynch, J.P. Morgan and Morgan Keegan and Company, Inc. Any proceeds from the ATM offering will be utilized for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions. There were no shares issued under the ATM offering at December 31, 2009.

Comments are for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to the year ended December 31, 2008.

Net loss available to common stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2009, was $16.4 million ($0.85 per basic common share) as compared to net income available to common stockholders of $4.5 million ($0.30 per basic common share) for the year ended December 31, 2008. The primary reason for the decrease in net income available to common stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to the year ended December 31, 2008 is due to the decrease in gain on sale of real estate from discontinued operations in the amount of $22.6 million, which is attributable to three assets sold in 2008. Net gains on the sale of real estate and involuntary conversion of $1.3 million, offset by impairment losses totaling $8.8 million, were included in net loss available to common stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2009. Net gains on the sale of real estate of $22.6 million, offset by impairment losses totaling $2.5 million, were included in net income available to common stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2008. The change in gain (loss) on sale of real estate investments, involuntary conversion and other assets as well as the discussion of other variances for income and expense items that comprise net loss available to common stockholders is discussed in detail below.

Office and Parking Properties. The analysis below includes changes attributable to same-store properties, acquisitions and dispositions of office properties. Same-store properties are those that the Company owned during both the current and prior year reporting periods, excluding properties classified as discontinued operations. At December 31, 2009, same-store properties consisted of 57 properties comprising 12.2 million square feet. One property with 189,000 square feet was developed in 2008 and does not meet the definition of a same-store property for the year ended December 31, 2009.

The following table represents revenue from office and parking properties for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 (in thousands):

Revenue from office and parking properties for same-store properties decreased $1.9 million or 0.8% for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to the same period for 2008. The primary reason for the decrease is due to a decrease in lease termination fee income of $2.7 million, offset by a 2.6% increase in same-store average rental rates for same-store properties for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to December 31, 2008.

The following table represents property operating expenses for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 (in thousands):

Property operating expenses for same-store properties decreased $239,000 or 0.2% for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to the same period for 2008. The primary reason for the decrease is decreased personnel expenses and utilities offset by increased bad debt expense and ad valorem taxes.

Depreciation and amortization expense attributable to office and parking properties increased $1.0 million or 1.1% for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to the same period for 2008 and is due to the additional depreciation associated with the development of an office property in 2008, the acquisition of office properties in 2008, and improvements to properties.

Hurricane Ike Impact. The Company had 13 wholly-owned properties and one jointly-owned property totaling 2.3 million square feet in Houston, Texas, which sustained some property damage from Hurricane Ike on September 13, 2008. Damages for the 14 properties were approximately $6.3 million. The Company's insurance deductible related to these claims was approximately $2.2 million. Approximately $365,000 represents repair and clean up costs with the remainder representing capitalized costs. In 2009, the Company recorded a net gain of approximately $823,000 related to an involuntary conversion of the damaged assets.

Share-Based Compensation Expense. Share-based compensation expense of $2.6 million and $2.3 million was recognized for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Total compensation expense related to nonvested awards not yet recognized was $2.2 million at December 31, 2009. The weighted average period over which this expense is expected to be recognized is approximately 1.8 years.

During the year ended December 31, 2009, a total of 30,416 restricted shares vested and were issued to officers of the Company. These shares vested upon the achievement of the goals of the GEAR UP Plan. The compensation expense relating to the vesting of the GEAR UP performance-based restricted shares of $1.4 million was recognized in 2008.

During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Board of Directors approved a grant of 120,500 restricted shares to officers of the Company. Excluding forfeitures, there are 119,750 restricted shares outstanding that are valued at $1.9 million. The shares vest at a rate of 29,938 shares per year over the four years following the grant date and were subject to certain performance-based goals that were established and achieved for 2009. Due to the achievement of the 2009 performance goals, 29,938 restricted shares vested and were issued to officers of the Company on February 10, 2010.

On January 4, 2010, 91,000 restricted shares vested and were issued to officers of the Company. These shares were granted to the officers of the Company in January 2003 and vested seven years from the grant date.

General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expense decreased $3.6 million from $9.7 million in 2008 to $6.1 million in 2009 and is primarily attributable to decreased personnel costs and professional fees. Additionally, 2008 included $1.4 million in expense associated with the vesting of the GEAR UP performance-based restricted stock.

Gain on Sale of Real Estate Investment and Involuntary Conversions. For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company recorded a net gain on the sale of real estate of $470,000 related to the sale of two office properties and a gain on involuntary conversion of $823,000 related to assets damaged by Hurricane Ike. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company recorded a $22.6 million gain on the sale of three office properties. This gain has been classified as a gain on sale of real estate from discontinued operations.

Impairment Loss on Real Estate and Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures. During the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company recognized a non-cash other-than-temporary impairment loss of $8.8 million in connection with the valuation of the Company's investments in RubiconPark I, LLC and RubiconPark II, LLC. The impairment is principally due to two customers totaling over 120,000 square feet in the office properties that are unable to meet their rent obligations due to financial difficulty. Of the total square footage, 90,000 square feet has been vacated and another 30,000 square feet is expected to be vacated during 2010. Additionally, on January 20, 2010, the Company's joint venture partner, Rubicon U.S. REIT, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, rendering our partner unable to support their continuing share of the joint venture obligations. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company recognized an impairment loss of $2.5 million on two office properties and 12 acres of land in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Interest Expense. Interest expense, including amortization, decreased $3.7 million or 6.3% for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to the same period for 2008 and is comprised of the following (in thousands):

Mortgage interest expense increased $425,000 or 0.9% for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to the same period for 2008 and is due to the net effect of new loans placed in 2008 and 2009, the refinancing of one loan in 2008, and the early extinguishment of three mortgages in 2008 and one mortgage in 2009. Item 7. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Financial Condition - Mortgage Notes Payable," includes a discussion of mortgages placed and extinguished in 2009. The average interest rate on mortgage notes payable at December 31, 2009 and 2008 was 5.6% and 5.5%, respectively.

Bank line interest expense decreased $4.7 million or 45.6% for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to the same period for 2008. The change is primarily due to a decrease in average borrowings of $87.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to the year ended December 31, 2008, and a decrease in average interest rate from 4.8% for the year ended December 31, 2008 to 4.3% for the year ended December 31, 2009. The decrease in average borrowings is primarily attributable to proceeds received from the Company's April 2009 $84.5 million common stock offering.

Discontinued Operations. Discontinued operations is comprised of the following for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 (in thousands):

The gains and all current and prior period income from the following office property dispositions are included in discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 (in thousands):

Comments are for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to the year ended December 31, 2007.

Net income available to common stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2008, was $4.5 million ($0.30 per basic common share) as compared to net income available to common stockholders of $14.9 million ($0.96 per basic common share) for the year ended December 31, 2007. The primary reasons for the $10.4 million decrease in net income available to common stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to the year ended December 31, 2007 relates to an increase in interest expense and general administrative expense. The explanation for the increase in these expenses as well as variances for other income and expense items that comprise net income available to common stockholders is discussed in detail below.

Gains on the sale of real estate of $22.6 million were included in net income available to common stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2008. Additionally, for the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company recorded non-cash impairment losses totaling $2.5 million in connection with two contracted office property sales and the valuation of approximately 12 acres of land. Net gains on the sale of real estate and other assets of $20.3 million were included in net income available to common stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Office and Parking Properties. The analysis below includes changes attributable to same-store properties, acquisitions and dispositions of office properties. Same-store properties are those that the Company owned during both the current and prior year reporting periods, excluding properties classified as discontinued operations. At December 31, 2008, same-store properties consisted of 57 properties comprising 11.3 million square feet. Properties acquired or developed in 2008 that do not meet the definition of same-store properties consisted of four properties with 1.3 million square feet in 2008.

The following table represents revenue from office and parking properties for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 (in thousands):

Revenue from office and parking properties for same-store properties increased $6.0 million or 2.6% for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to the same period for 2007. The primary reason for the increase is due to an increase in lease termination fee income of $1.7 million, an increase in expense reimbursement income as a result of higher operating expenses and an increase in same-store average rental rates for same-store properties for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to December 31, 2007. Same-store rental rates increased 2.5% for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to the same period of 2007.

The following table represents property operating expenses for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 (in thousands):

Property operating expenses for same-store properties increased $6.6 million or 6.2% for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to the same period for 2007. The primary reason for the increase is due to increased utilities, real estate taxes and repairs associated with Hurricane Ike discussed below.

Depreciation and amortization expense attributable to office and parking properties increased $17.3 million or 23.3% for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to the same period for 2007 and is due to additional depreciation associated with the acquisition of office properties and improvements to properties.

Share-Based Compensation Expense. Share-based compensation expense of $2.3 million and $1.5 million was recognized for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Total compensation expense related to nonvested awards not yet recognized was $3.1 million at December 31, 2008. The weighted average period over which this expense is expected to be recognized is approximately 2.2 years. Total compensation expense associated with shares that vest based on the Company meeting the goals of the GEAR UP Plan was $1.4 million and was recorded in 2008.

During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Board of Directors approved the grant of 38,017 restricted shares to officers of the Company. The shares were valued at $1.2 million and 36,975 shares will vest four years from grant date and 1,042 shares vested upon the achievement of the cumulative goals of the GEAR UP Plan, which ended December 31, 2008. Compensation expense was recorded on the shares that vested on performance conditions in 2008 when the Company determined that it was probable that the goal would be achieved.

General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expense increased $3.1 million from $6.6 million in 2007 to $9.7 million in 2008 and is primarily attributable to increased personnel costs, share-based compensation expense and professional fees. In 2008, the Company recorded approximately $1.4 million in share-based compensation expense as a result of achieving the GEAR UP Plan financial goal.

Gain on Sale of Real Estate and Impairment Loss on Real Estate. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company recorded a $22.6 million gain on the sale of three office properties. This gain has been classified as a gain on sale of real estate from discontinued operations. The Company also recognized an impairment loss of $2.5 million on two office properties and 12 acres of land in New Orleans, Louisiana during 2008. For the year ended December 31, 2007, Parkway recorded a gain on the sale of two office properties in Knoxville, Tennessee in the amount of $20.3 million.

Interest Expense. Interest expense, including amortization, increased $6.9 million or 13.1% for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to the same period for 2007 and is comprised of the following (in thousands):

Mortgage interest expense increased $7.4 million or 18.6% for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to the same period for 2007 and is due to the net effect of new loans placed or assumed in 2008 and 2007, the refinancing of one loan and the early extinguishment of three mortgages in 2008. The average interest rate on mortgage notes payable at December 31, 2008 and 2007 was 5.5% and 5.6%, respectively.

Bank line interest expense decreased $368,000 or 3.5% for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to the same period for 2007. The change is primarily due to the net effect of proceeds received from the sale of assets, borrowings due to additional purchases of office investments and a decrease in average interest rate from 6.2% during the year ended December 31, 2007 as compared to 4.8% during the same period in 2008.

Discontinued Operations. Discontinued operations is comprised of the following for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 (in thousands):

The gains and all current and prior period income from the following office property dispositions are included in discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 (in thousands):

Statement of Cash Flows. Cash and cash equivalents were $20.7 million and $15.3 million at December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. Cash flows provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2009 were $69.9 million compared to $62.8 million for the same period of 2008. The change in cash flows from operating activities is primarily attributable to the effect of the timing of receipt of revenues and payment of expenses.

Cash used in investing activities was $15.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to $204.9 million for the same period of 2008. The decrease in cash used by investing activities of $189.7 million is primarily due to the net effect of office property purchases in 2008 and reduced development costs in 2009, offset by the impact of increased property sales in 2008.

Cash used in financing activities was $49.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to cash provided by financing activities of $146.1 million for the same period of 2008. The decrease in cash provided by financing activities of $195.5 million is primarily due to additional mortgage placements in 2008 and contributions from noncontrolling interest partners to fund office property purchases in 2008, offset by proceeds received from the common stock offering in 2009.

Liquidity. The Company plans to continue pursuing the acquisition of additional investments that meet the Company's investment criteria and intends to use its line of credit, proceeds from the refinancing of mortgages, proceeds from the sale of non-strategic assets, proceeds from the sale of portions of owned assets through joint ventures, possible sales of securities and cash balances to fund those acquisitions.

The Company's cash flows are exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of its lines of credit 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 utilizes an unsecured revolving credit facility, an unsecured term-loan and an unsecured line of credit (collectively, the "Company's line of credit").

The Company's line of credit allows Parkway to borrow up to a combined $311.0 million and it matures in April 2011. At December 31, 2009, the Company had a total of $100.0 million outstanding under its line of credit. At December 31, 2009, the following amounts were outstanding under the Company's line of credit (in thousands):

(1) The interest rate on the $15.0 million unsecured line of credit with PNC Bank is currently LIBOR plus 200 basis points. The Company pays fees on the unused portion of the line of 25 basis points.

(2) The $236.0 million unsecured line of credit is led by Wells Fargo and syndicated to eight other banks. The interest rate on the line of credit is currently LIBOR plus 115 basis points or the Prime interest rate plus 25 basis points. At December 31, 2009, all amounts outstanding under the line of credit are fixed by an interest rate swap agreement. The Company pays an annual administration fee of $35,000 and fees on the unused portion of the revolver ranging between 12.5 and 20 basis points based upon overall Company leverage, with the rate set at 20 basis points at December 31, 2009.

(3) The $60.0 million unsecured term loan is led by Wells Fargo and syndicated to eight other banks. The interest rate on the term loan is fixed by an interest rate swap agreement. Excluding the interest rate swap agreement, the interest rate on the term loan is LIBOR plus 115 basis points.

To protect against the potential for rapidly rising interest rates, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements in 2008. The Company designated the swaps as hedges of the variable interest rates on the Company's borrowings under the Wells Fargo unsecured revolving credit facility and a portion of the debt placed on the Pinnacle at Jackson Place. These swaps are considered to be fully effective and changes in the fair value of the swaps are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The Company's interest rate hedge contracts at December 31, 2009 and 2008 are summarized as follows (in thousands):

At December 31, 2009, the Company had $852.7 million in mortgage notes payable with an average interest rate of 5.6% secured by office properties, and $100.0 million drawn under its line of credit. Parkway's pro rata share of unconsolidated joint venture debt was $2.5 million with an average interest rate of 5.8% at December 31, 2009. During the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company fully reserved its investment in the RubiconPark I, LLC joint venture. The Company's investment includes a 13.85% interest in a non-recourse first mortgage, or $7.1 million, which is not reflected in Parkway's share of unconsolidated joint venture debt as a result of this write-off.

The Company monitors the total debt to total asset value ratio as defined in the loan agreements for the $311.0 million unsecured line of credit. In addition to the total debt to total asset value ratio, the Company also monitors interest, fixed charge and modified fixed charge coverage ratios as well as the debt to EBITDA multiple. The interest coverage ratio is computed by comparing the cash interest accrued to EBITDA. This ratio for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 was 2.78 and 2.41 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. This ratio for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 was 1.95 and 1.75 times, respectively. The modified fixed charge coverage ratio is computed by comparing the cash interest accrued and preferred dividends paid to EBITDA. This ratio for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 was 2.49 and 2.20 times, respectively. The debt to EBITDA multiple is computed by comparing Parkway's share of total debt to EBITDA for a trailing 12-month period. The debt to EBITDA multiple for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 was 6.4 times and 7.3 times, respectively. Management believes the total debt to total asset value, interest coverage, fixed charge coverage and modified fixed charge coverage ratios as well as the debt to EBITDA multiple 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 table below presents the principal payments due and weighted average interest rates for the mortgage notes payable at December 31, 2009.

On February 20, 2009, the Company sold Lynnwood Plaza, an 82,000 square foot office property located in Hampton Roads, Virginia, for a gross sales price of $7.8 million. Parkway received net cash proceeds from the sale of $7.1 million, which were used to reduce amounts outstanding under the Company's line of credit.

On February 27, 2009, the Company paid off the mortgage note payable secured by 1717 St. James, 5300 Memorial and Town and Country office buildings in Houston, Texas, with a total principal balance of $21.8 million with advances under the Company's line of credit. The mortgage had an interest rate of 4.83% and was scheduled to mature on March 1, 2009. The mortgage represented the Company's only outstanding maturity in 2009.

On June 1, 2009, the Company sold 1717 St. James Place, a 110,000 square foot office property located in Houston, Texas, for a gross sales price of $8.7 million, and Parkway received net cash proceeds from the sale of $8.4 million.

The Company has $66.4 million in remaining debt maturities for 2010, and the Company plans to refinance this debt with non-recourse first mortgages. Additionally, the Company's existing line of credit capacity could be utilized to pay such debt maturities.

The Company presently has plans to make recurring capital improvements to its office properties in 2010 of approximately $45.0 to $50.0 million on a consolidated basis, with approximately $38.0 million to $43.0 million representing Parkway's proportionate share of recurring capital improvements. These costs include tenant improvements, leasing costs and recurring building improvements. Additionally, the Company plans to make improvements related to upgrades on properties acquired in recent years that were anticipated at the time of purchase and major renovations that are nonrecurring in nature to office properties in 2010 of approximately $4.0 million to $6.0 million. All such improvements are expected to be financed by cash flow from the properties, capital expenditure escrow accounts, advances from the Company's line of credit and contributions from partners.

In the budgeting and planning process for 2010, the Company contemplated its overall capital needs and the opportunities that are anticipated over the next few years in light of the sources of capital that are available to us. The Company thinks it is advisable to make more discretionary capital available to the Company at this point in the cycle for acquisition opportunities, both on behalf of Texas Fund II and other opportunities that may arise outside of the fund. This led to the decision to raise an additional $22 million per annum in capital by reducing the common stock dividend to $0.30 per share per annum, which approximates projected 2010 taxable income. Many factors weighed into the Company's decision to make this large dividend adjustment. First, the increased costs associated with leasing the Company's existing and future vacancies during this recessionary cycle; second, the desire to further improve the balance sheet to meet capital structure goals set out in early 2009; third, to make available additional capital for the investments the Company is now seeing in the market place for Texas Fund II; and finally, to give the Company more discretionary capital available at this point in the cycle for acquisition opportunities that might be seen outside of Texas Fund II.

The Company anticipates that its current cash balance, operating cash flows, contributions from partners 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. In addition, the Company may use proceeds from sales of assets, sales of equity securities and borrowings to fund property acquisitions and pay debts as they mature.

At December 31, 2009, the Company was invested in four unconsolidated joint ventures with unrelated investors. These joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method of accounting, as Parkway does not control, but has the ability to significantly influence the operations of the joint ventures and is not the primary beneficiary. As a result, the assets and liabilities of the joint ventures are not included in Parkway's consolidated balance sheet. Information relating to the unconsolidated joint ventures at December 31, 2009 is detailed below.

Cash distributions from unconsolidated joint ventures are made to each partner based on their percentage of ownership in each entity. Cash distributions made to partners in joint ventures where the percentage of debt assumed is disproportionate to the ownership percentage in the venture is distributed based on each partner's share of cash available for distribution before debt service, based on their ownership percentage, less the partner's share of debt service based on the percentage of debt assumed by each partner.

Parkway provides management, construction and leasing services for all of the unconsolidated joint ventures except for the Wink-Parkway Partnership, and receives market-based fees for these services. The portion of fees earned on unconsolidated joint ventures attributable to Parkway's ownership interest is eliminated in consolidation.

At December 31, 2009, the Company's investment in unconsolidated joint ventures was $2.5 million, or 0.2% of total assets.

During the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company recognized a non-cash other-than-temporary impairment loss of $8.8 million in connection with the valuation of the Company's investments in RubiconPark I, LLC and RubiconPark II, LLC. The impairment is principally due to two customers totaling over 120,000 square feet in the office properties that are unable to meet their rent obligations due to financial difficulty. Of the total square footage 90,000 square feet has been vacated and another 30,000 square feet is expected to be vacated during 2010. Additionally, on January 20, 2010, the Company's joint venture partner, Rubicon U.S. REIT, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, rendering our partner unable to support their continuing share of the joint venture obligations.

We have contractual obligations including mortgage notes payable and lease obligations. The table below presents total payments due under specified contractual obligations by year through maturity at December 31, 2009 (in thousands):

The amounts presented above for long-term debt and capital lease obligations include principal and interest payments. The amounts presented for purchase obligations represent the remaining tenant improvement allowances and lease inducement costs for leases in place and commitments for building improvements at December 31, 2009.

Parkway has a 75% ownership interest in MBALP and acts as the managing general partner. MBALP is primarily funded with financing from a third-party lender, which is secured by a first lien on the rental property of the partnership. The creditors of MBALP do not have recourse to Parkway. In acting as the general partner, Parkway is committed to providing additional funding to partnership deficits up to an aggregate amount of $1.0 million. To date Parkway has not been required to provide any additional funding to MBALP.

Parkway has a 30% ownership interest in Texas Teachers Fund II and acts as the general partner. Texas Teachers Fund II 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 capital for the fund will be $112.5 million. Parkway has four years from the inception date, or through May 2012, of Texas Teachers Fund II to identify and acquire properties, with funds contributed as needed to purchase office investments.

General. Parkway's investments are generally made in office properties. Therefore, the Company is generally subject to risks incidental to the ownership of real estate. Some of these risks include changes in supply or demand for office properties or tenants for such properties in an area in which we have buildings; changes in real estate tax rates; and changes in federal income tax, real estate and zoning laws. The Company's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon its Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company's Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Parkway Properties, Inc., its majority owned subsidiaries and joint ventures in which the Company has a controlling interest. Parkway also consolidates subsidiaries where the entity is a variable interest entity and Parkway is the primary beneficiary. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the reporting period. Actual results could differ from our estimates.

The accounting policies and estimates used in the preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements are more fully described in the notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements. However, certain of the Company's significant accounting policies are considered critical accounting policies due to the increased level of assumptions used or estimates made in determining their impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Parkway considers critical accounting policies and estimates to be those used in the determination of the reported amounts and disclosure related to the following:

(4) Initial recognition, measurement and allocation of the cost of real estate acquired; and

Revenue Recognition. Revenue from real estate rentals is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases. The cumulative difference between lease revenue recognized under this method and contractual lease payment terms is recorded as straight line rent receivable on the accompanying balance sheets.

When the Company is the owner of the tenant improvements, the leased space is ready for its intended use when the tenant improvements are substantially completed. In limited instances, when the tenant is the owner of the tenant improvements, straight-line rent is recognized when the tenant takes possession of the unimproved space.

The leases also typically provide for tenant reimbursement of a portion of common area maintenance and other operating expenses. Property operating cost recoveries from customers ("expense reimbursements") are recognized as revenue in the period in which the expenses are incurred. The computation of expense reimbursements is dependent on the provisions of individual customer leases. Most customers make monthly fixed payments of estimated expense reimbursements. The Company makes adjustments, positive or negative, to expense reimbursement income quarterly to adjust the recorded amounts to the Company's best estimate of the final property operating costs based on the most recent quarterly budget. After the end of the calendar year, the Company computes each customer's final expense reimbursements and issues a bill or credit for the difference between the actual amount and the amounts billed monthly during the year.

Management company income represents market-based fees earned from providing management, construction, leasing, brokerage and acquisition services to third parties. Management fee income is computed and recorded monthly in accordance with the terms set forth in the stand alone management service agreements. Leasing and brokerage commissions are recognized pursuant to the terms of the stand alone agreements at the time underlying leases are signed, which is the point at which the earnings process is complete and collection of the fees is reasonably assured. Fees relating to the purchase or sale of property are recognized when the earnings process is complete and collection of the fees is reasonably assured, which usually occurs at closing. All fees on Company-owned properties and consolidated joint ventures are eliminated in consolidation. The portion of fees earned on unconsolidated joint ventures attributable to Parkway's ownership interest is eliminated in consolidation.

Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. Changes in the supply or demand of tenants for our properties could impact our ability to fill available space. Should a significant amount of available space exist for an extended period, our investment in a particular office building may be impaired. We evaluate our real estate assets upon the occurrence of significant adverse changes to assess whether any impairment indicators are present that affect the recovery of the carrying amount.

We classify certain assets as held for sale based on management having the authority and intent of entering into commitments for sale transactions to close in the next twelve months. We consider an office property as held for sale once we have executed a contract for sale, allowed the buyer to complete its due diligence review and received substantial non-refundable deposit. Until a buyer has completed its due diligence review of the asset, necessary approvals have been received and substantive conditions to the buyer's obligation to perform have been satisfied, we do not consider a sale to be probable. When the Company identifies an asset as held for sale, we estimate the net realizable value of such asset and discontinue recording depreciation on the asset. The Company records assets held for sale at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. With respect to assets classified as held and used, we periodically review these assets to determine whether our carrying amount will be recovered. A long-lived asset is considered impaired if its carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value. Fair value is based on the estimated and realizable contract sales price (if available) for the asset less estimated costs to sell. If a sales price is not available, the estimated undiscounted cash flows of the asset for the remaining useful life are used to determine if the carrying value is recoverable. The cash flow estimates are based on assumptions about employing the asset for its remaining useful life. Factors considered in projecting future cash flows include but are not limited to: existing leases, future leasing and terminations, market rental rates, capital improvements, tenant improvements, leasing commissions, inflation and other known variables. Upon impairment, the Company would recognize an impairment loss to reduce the carrying value of the long-lived asset to our estimate of its fair value. The estimate of fair value and cash flows to be generated from properties requires us to make assumptions. If one or more assumptions prove incorrect or if the assumptions change, the recognition of an impairment loss on one or more properties may be necessary in the future, which would result in a decrease to net income.

In 2009, Parkway recorded non-cash other-than-temporary impairment losses totaling $8.8 million in connection with the valuation of two investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, RubiconPark I, LLC and RubiconPark II, LLC. The impairment is principally due to two customers totaling over 120,000 square feet in the office properties that are unable to meet their rent obligations due to financial difficulty. Of the total square footage, 90,000 square feet has been vacated and another 30,000 square feet is expected to be vacated during 2010. Additionally, on January 20, 2010, the Company's joint venture partner, Rubicon U.S. REIT, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, rendering our partner unable to support their continuing share of the joint venture obligations. In 2008, Parkway recorded an impairment loss of two contracted office property sales in the amount of $1.8 million, and an impairment loss on 12 acres of land in New Orleans, Louisiana in the amount of $717,000.

Depreciable Lives Applied to Real Estate and Improvements to Real Estate. Depreciation of buildings and parking garages is computed using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of 40 years. Depreciation of building improvements is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the improvement. If our estimate of useful lives proves to be incorrect, the depreciation expense recognized would also be incorrect. Therefore, a change in the estimated useful lives assigned to buildings and improvements would result in either an increase or decrease in depreciation expense, which would result in an increase or decrease in earnings.

Initial Recognition, Measurement and Allocation of the Cost of Real Estate Acquired. Parkway accounts for its acquisitions of real estate by allocating the fair value of real estate to acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, building, garage, building improvements and tenant improvements, identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above and below market debt assumed with the acquisition.

Parkway allocates the purchase price of properties to tangible and intangible assets based on fair values. The Company determines the fair value of the tangible and intangible components using a variety of methods and assumptions all of which result in an approximation of fair value. Differing assumptions and methods could result in different estimates of fair value and thus, a different purchase price allocation and corresponding increase or decrease in depreciation and amortization expense.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. Accounts receivable are reduced by an allowance for amounts that may become uncollectible in the future. Our receivable balance is comprised primarily of rents and operating expense recoveries due from customers. Change in the supply of or demand for office properties could impact our customers' ability to honor their lease obligations, which could in turn affect our recorded revenues and estimates of the collectability of our receivables. Revenue from real estate rentals is recognized and accrued as earned on a pro rata basis over the term of the lease. We regularly evaluate the adequacy of our allowance for doubtful accounts considering such factors as credit quality of our customers, delinquency of payment, historical trends and current economic conditions. We provide an allowance for doubtful accounts for customer balances that are over 90 days past due and for specific customer receivables for which collection is considered doubtful. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, which could result in an increase or decrease in bad debt expense.

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standard Codification ("ASC") 805, "Business Combinations" ("FASB ASC 805"), which expands the scope of previous accounting guidance regarding business combinations to include all transactions and other events in which one entity obtains control over one or more other businesses. FASB ASC 805 applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008, requires that the acquisition related transaction costs be expensed as incurred and also includes new disclosure requirements. The impact of FASB ASC 805 on the Company's overall financial position and results of operations will be determined by the markets in which the Company invests. At December 31, 2009, the application of FASB ASC 805 had not impacted the Company's overall financial position or results of operations.

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB ASC 810-10-65, "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements" ("FASB ASC 810-10-65"). FASB ASC 810-10-65 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. FASB ASC 810-10-65 also amends certain consolidation procedures for consistency with the requirements of FASB ASC 805. FASB ASC 810-10-65 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Upon adoption of FASB ASC 810-10-65, the Company reclassified its noncontrolling interest in real estate partnerships from noncontrolling interest to equity in the accompanying December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 consolidated balance sheets. In addition, the Company has separately disclosed the amount of consolidated net loss attributable to the Company and its noncontrolling interest in consolidated real estate partnerships in the accompanying December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007 consolidated statements of income.

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB ASC 815-10-65, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("FASB ASC 815-10-65"). FASB ASC 815-10-65 requires all entities with derivative instruments to disclose information regarding how and why the entity uses derivative instruments and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect the entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. The Statement is effective prospectively for periods beginning on or after November 15, 2008. The application of FASB ASC 815-10-65 did not have a material impact on the Company's overall financial position and results of operations upon adoption.

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB ASC 323-10, "Equity Method Investment Accounting Considerations" ("FASB ASC 323-10"), which applies to all investments accounted for under the equity method and clarifies the accounting for certain transactions and impairment considerations involving those investments. FASB ASC 323-10 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The application of FASB ASC 323-10 did not have a material impact on the Company's overall financial position and results of operation upon its adoption.

During the second quarter of 2009, the Company adopted FASB ASC 825-10-65, "Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments" ("FASB ASC 825-10-65"), which requires fair value disclosures for financial instruments that are not reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. Prior to the issuance of FASB ASC 825-10-65, the fair values of those assets and liabilities were disclosed annually. Upon adoption of FASB ASC 825-10-65, the Company is now required to disclose this information on a quarterly basis, providing quantitative and qualitative information about fair value estimates for all financial instruments not measured in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value.

During the second quarter of 2009, the Company adopted FASB ASC 855, "Subsequent Events" ("FASB ASC 855"), which establishes the accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. FASB ASC 855 requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date, that is, whether that date represents the date the financial statements were issued or were available to be issued. The adoption of FASB ASC 855 did not have a material impact on the Company's overall financial position and results of operations.

In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 166, "Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 140" ("SFAS No. 166") which amends SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities," by: eliminating the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity ("QSPE"); clarifying and amending the derecognition criteria for a transfer to be accounted for as a sale; amending and clarifying the unit of account eligible for sale accounting; and requiring that a transferor initially measure at fair value and recognize all assets obtained (for example beneficial interests) and liabilities incurred as a result of a transfer of an entire financial asset or group of financial assets accounted for as a sale. Additionally, on and after the effective date, existing QSPEs (as defined under previous accounting standards) must be evaluated for consolidation by reporting entities in accordance with the applicable consolidation guidance. SFAS No. 166 requires enhanced disclosures about, among other things, a transferor's continuing involvement with transfers of financial assets accounted for as sales, the risks inherent in the transferred financial assets that have been retained, and the nature and financial effect of restrictions on the transferor's assets that continue to be reported in the consolidated balance sheets. SFAS No. 166 will be effective as of the beginning of interim and annual reporting periods that begin after November 15, 2009. The application of SFAS No. 166 in 2010 did not have a material impact on the Company's overall financial position and results of operations upon adoption. In December 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2009-16, "Topic 860 - Transfers and Servicing", which formally codifies SFAS No. 166.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, "Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)" ("SFAS No. 167"). SFAS No 167 amends FIN 46(R), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities," and changes the consolidation guidance applicable to a variable interest entity ("VIE"). It also amends the guidance governing the determination of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, and is, therefore, required to consolidate an entity, by requiring a qualitative analysis rather than a quantitative analysis. The qualitative analysis will include, among other things, consideration of who has the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and who has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. This standard also requires continuous reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. Previously, FIN 46(R) required reconsideration of whether an enterprise was the primary beneficiary of a VIE only when specific events had occurred. QSPEs, which were previously exempt from the application of this standard, will be subject to the provisions of this standard when it becomes effective. SFAS No. 167 also requires enhanced disclosures about an enterprise's involvement with a VIE. SFAS No. 167 will be effective as of the beginning of interim and annual reporting periods that begin after November 15, 2009. The application of SFAS No. 167 in 2010 did not have a material impact on the Company's overall financial position and results of operations upon adoption as the Company will continue to account for its unconsolidated joint ventures under the equity method of accounting. In December 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-17, "Topic 810 - Consolidations", which formally codifies SFAS No. 167.

In June 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-01, "Topic 105 - Generally Accepted Accounting Principles - amendments based on Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 168 - The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles" ("ASU 2009-01"), which will become the source of authoritative United States GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. ASU 2009-01 brings together in one place all authoritative GAAP previously in levels A through D of the GAAP hierarchy that has been issued by a standard setter, for example, FASB Statements, FASB Interpretations, EITF Abstracts, FASB Staff Positions and AICPA Accounting and Auditing Guides. ASU 2009-01 is effective as of the beginning of interim and annual reporting periods that begin after September 15, 2009. At December 31, 2009, the Company has adopted ASU 2009-01.

Management believes that funds from operations available to common shareholders ("FFO") is an appropriate measure of performance for equity REITs and computes this measure in accordance with the NAREIT definition of FFO. Funds from operations is defined by NAREIT as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses from sales of property 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. 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.

The following table presents a reconciliation of the Company's net income to FFO for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 (in thousands):

(1) Funds from operations available to common shareholders for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 include the following items (in thousands):

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 leases require the customers to pay their pro rata share of operating expenses, 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.

In addition to historical information, certain sections of this Form 10-K 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 factors discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-K 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 the date hereof. The Company assumes no obligation to update forward-looking statements.

See information appearing under the caption "Liquidity" appearing in Item 7. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations".

At December 31, 2009, total outstanding debt was $952.7 million of which $183.5 million or 19.3% is variable rate debt. If market rates of interest on the variable rate debt fluctuate by 10% (or approximately 40 basis points), the change in interest expense on the variable rate debt would increase or decrease future earnings and cash flows by approximately $728,000 annually.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Parkway Properties, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2009. In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we also have audited financial statement schedules II, III and IV. These consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedules are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedules based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Parkway Properties, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2009, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

As discussed in note A to the consolidated financial statements, Parkway Properties, Inc. changed its method of accounting for noncontrolling interests in real estate partnerships effective January 1, 2009.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Parkway Properties, Inc.'s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, based on the criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated March 5, 2010, expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of income, changes in equity, and cash flows for year ended December 31, 2007. Our audit also included the financial statement Schedule II listed in the index at Item 15(a) 2 for the year ended December 31, 2007. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We did not audit the financial statements of Parkway Properties Office Fund, LP, a consolidated joint venture, which statements reflect total assets of $276.7 million as of December 31, 2007 and total revenues of $33.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. Those statements were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for Parkway Properties Office Fund, LP, is based solely on the report of the other auditors.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated changes in equity, results of operations, and cash flows of Parkway Properties, Inc. for the year ended December 31, 2007, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement Schedule II, listed in the index at Item 15(a)2 for the year ended December 31, 2007 when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

We have audited the consolidated historical‑cost statements of operations, changes in partners' capital and cash flows of Parkway Properties Office Fund, LP (the Partnership) for the year ended December 31, 2007, not included herein. We also have audited the supplemental consolidated current-value statements of operations and changes in partners' capital of the Partnership for the year ended December 31, 2007, not included herein. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.

As described in note 11, the supplemental consolidated current-value financial statements have been prepared by management to present relevant financial information that is not provided by the consolidated historical-cost financial statements and are not intended to be a presentation in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the supplemental consolidated current-value financial statements do not purport to present the net realizable, liquidation, or market value of the Partnership as a whole. Furthermore, amounts ultimately realized by the Partnership from the disposal of properties may vary significantly from the current values presented.

In our opinion, the supplemental consolidated current‑value financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth in them on the basis of accounting described in note 11.

Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the consolidated historical-cost and consolidated current-value financial statements taken as a whole. The consolidating information included in Schedules I - IV is presented for purposes of additional analysis of the consolidated current-value financial statements rather than to present the financial position and results of operations of the individual companies. The consolidating information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the consolidated current-value financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the consolidated current-value financial statements taken as a whole.

The accompanying financial statements are prepared following U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").

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 is expected to absorb a majority of the VIE's anticipated losses, receive a majority of the VIE's anticipated residual returns, or both. 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 or where the entity is a variable interest entity and Parkway is the primary beneficiary. 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 Company's operations are exclusively in the real estate industry, principally the operation, leasing, acquisition and ownership of office buildings.

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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although the Company believes the assumptions and estimates made are reasonable and appropriate, as discussed in the applicable sections throughout these consolidated financial statements, different assumptions and estimates could materially impact reported results. The current economic environment has increased the degree of uncertainty inherent in these estimates and assumptions, therefore, changes in market conditions could impact the Company's future operating results. The Company's most significant estimates relate to impairments on real estate and allowance for doubtful accounts.

Real estate properties are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Cost includes the carrying amount of the Company's investment plus any additional consideration paid, liabilities assumed, costs of securing title and improvements made subsequent to acquisition. Depreciation of buildings and building improvements is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Depreciation of tenant improvements, including personal property, is computed using the straight-line method over the lesser of useful life or the term of the lease involved. Maintenance and repair expenses are charged to expense as incurred.

Balances of major classes of depreciable assets (in thousands) and their respective estimated useful lives are:

Depreciation expense related to these assets of $67.3 million was recognized in 2009 and 2008 and $59.7 million in 2007.

The Company evaluates its real estate assets upon occurrence of significant adverse changes in their operations to assess whether any impairment indicators are present that affect the recovery of the carrying amount. The carrying amount includes the net book value of tangible and intangible assets. Real estate assets are classified as held for sale or held and used. Parkway records assets held for sale at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. With respect to assets classified as held and used, Parkway recognizes an impairment loss to the extent the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. Fair value is based on the estimated and realizable contract sales price (if available) for the asset less estimated costs to sell. If a sales price is not available, the estimated undiscounted cash flows of the asset for the remaining useful life are used to determine if the carrying value is recoverable. The cash flow estimates are based on assumptions about employing the asset for its remaining useful life. Factors considered in projecting future cash flows include but are not limited to: existing leases, future leasing and terminations, market rental rates, capital improvements, tenant improvements, leasing commissions, inflation and other known variables. This market information is considered a Level 3 input as defined by ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures," ("ASC 820"). Upon impairment, Parkway recognizes an impairment loss to reduce the carrying value of the real estate asset to the estimate of its fair value.

The Company recognizes gains from sales of real estate upon the realization at closing of the transfer of rights of ownership to the purchaser, receipt from the purchaser of an adequate cash down payment and adequate continuing investment by the purchaser. If the requirements for recognizing gains have not been met, the sale and related costs are recorded, but the gain is deferred and recognized generally on the installment method of accounting as collections are received.

Land available for sale (see Note E) is carried at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated cost to sell.

Parkway allocates the purchase price of real estate to tangible and intangible assets and liabilities based on fair values. Tangible assets consist of land, building, garage, building improvements and tenant improvements. Intangible assets and liabilities consist of the value of above and below market leases, lease costs, the value of in-place leases, customer relationships and any value attributable to above or below market debt assumed with the acquisition.

The Company may engage independent third-party appraisers to perform the valuations used to determine the fair value of these identifiable tangible and intangible assets. These valuations and appraisals use commonly employed valuation techniques, such as discounted cash flow analyses. Factors considered in these analyses include an estimate of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions, and costs to execute similar leases. Parkway also considers information obtained about each property as a result of its pre-acquisition due diligence, marketing and leasing activities in estimating the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired. In estimating carrying costs, the Company includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up periods depending on specific local market conditions and depending on the type of property acquired. Additionally, Parkway estimates costs to execute similar leases including leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses to the extent that such costs are not already incurred in connection with a new lease origination as part of the transaction.

The fair value of above or below market in-place lease values is the present value of the difference between the contractual amount to be paid pursuant to the in-place lease and the estimated current market lease rate expected over the remaining non-cancelable life of the lease. The capitalized above market lease values are amortized as a reduction of rental income over the remaining term of the respective leases. The capitalized below market lease values are amortized as an increase to rental income over the remaining term of the respective leases. Total amortization for above and below market leases was a net reduction of rental income of $51,000, $45,000 and $788,000 for the years ending December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Amortization of above and below market leases is projected as a net increase to rental income as follows for the next five years (in thousands):

The fair value of customer relationships represents the quantifiable benefits related to developing a relationship with the current customer. Examples of these benefits would be growth prospects for developing new business with the existing customer, the ability to attract similar customers to the building, the tenant's credit quality and expectations of lease renewals (including those existing under the terms of the lease agreement or management's expectation for renewal), among other factors. Management believes that there would typically be little value associated with customer relationships that is in excess of the value of the in-place lease and their typical renewal rates. Any value assigned to customer relationships is amortized over the remaining terms of the respective leases plus any expected renewal periods as a lease cost amortization expense. Currently, the Company has no value assigned to customer relationships.

The fair value of at market in-place leases is the present value associated with re-leasing the in-place lease as if the property was vacant. Factors to be considered include estimates of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, the Company includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up periods. The value of at market in-place leases is amortized as a lease cost amortization expense over the expected life of the lease, including expected renewals. Total amortization expense for the value of in-place leases was $14.0 million, $15.0 million and $9.0 million for the years ending December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Amortization expense for the value of in-place leases is projected as follows for the next five years (in thousands):

A separate component of the fair value of in-place leases is identified for the lease costs. The fair value of lease costs represents the estimated commissions and legal fees paid in connection with the current leases in place. Lease costs are amortized over the non-cancelable terms of the respective leases as lease cost amortization expense.

In no event does the amortization period for intangible assets exceed the remaining depreciable life of the building. Should a customer terminate its lease, the unamortized portion of the tenant improvement, in-place lease value, lease cost and customer relationship intangibles would be charged to expense. Additionally, the unamortized portion of above market in-place leases would be recorded as a reduction to rental income and the below market in-place lease value would be recorded as an increase to rental income.

Parkway records its mortgage loan receivable at the stated principal amount net any premium or discount. At December 31, 2009 the carrying amount of the mortgage loan receivable was $8.1 million. The Company recognizes the premium or discount over the life of the mortgage loan using the effective interest method. Parkway evaluates the collectability of principal and interest on its mortgage loans, if circumstances warrant, to determine whether it is impaired. A loan is impaired when based on current information and events; it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the existing contractual terms. When a loan is impaired, the amount of the loss accrual is calculated by comparing the recorded investment to the value determined by discounting the expected future cash flow at the loan's effective interest rate. No impairment loss has been recognized in connection with the mortgage loan receivable.

At December 31, 2009 and 2008, Parkway had a non-controlling interest in four unconsolidated joint ventures, which are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Therefore, Parkway reports its share of income and losses based on its economic interest in these entities, as measured by its ownership interest or expected cash distributions if materially different than distributions based on ownership interest. Parkway classifies its interests as non-controlling when it holds less than a majority voting interest in the entity and does not have the sole ability, based on the terms of the joint venture agreements, to make decisions about the entities' activities regarding items such as major leases, encumbering the entities with debt, major capital expenditures and whether to dispose of the entities.

When circumstances indicate there may have been a loss in value of an equity investment, the Company evaluates the investment for impairment by estimating its ability to recover its investment from future cash flows. If Parkway determines the loss in value is other than temporary, the Company recognizes an impairment charge to reflect the investment at fair value. The use of projected future cash flows and other estimates of fair value, the determination of when a loss is other than temporary, and the calculation of the amount of the loss are complex and subjective. Use of other estimates and assumptions may result in different conclusions. Changes in economic and operating conditions that occur subsequent to the Company's review could impact these assumptions and result in future impairment charges of our equity investments.

In the fourth quarter of 2009, Parkway recorded non-cash other-than-temporary impairment losses totaling $8.8 million in connection with the valuation of two investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, RubiconPark I, LLC and RubiconPark II, LLC. The impairment is principally due to two customers totaling over 120,000 square feet in the office properties that are unable to meet their rent obligations due to financial difficulty. Of the total square footage, 90,000 square feet has been vacated and another 30,000 square feet is expected to be vacated during 2010. Additionally, on January 20, 2010, the Company's joint venture partner, Rubicon U.S. REIT, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, rendering our partner unable to support their continuing share of the joint venture obligations.

Accounts receivable are reduced by an allowance for amounts that the Company estimates to be uncollectible. The receivable balance is comprised primarily of rent and expense reimbursement income due from the customers. Management evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts considering such factors as the credit quality of our customers, delinquency of payment, historical trends and current economic conditions. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts for customer balances that are over 90 days past due and for specific customer receivables for which collection is considered doubtful.

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

The Company has an interest in three joint ventures that are included in its consolidated financial statements. Parkway has a 75.025% interest in Parkway Moore, LLC, which owns an interest in Moore Buildings Associates, LP. The Company also owns a 25% and 30% interest in Parkway Properties Office Fund, LP and Parkway Properties Office Fund II, LP, respectively.

Moore Building Associates, LP ("MBALP") was established for the purpose of owning a commercial office building (the Toyota Center in Memphis, Tennessee). In acting as the general partner, Parkway is committed to providing additional funding to meet partnership operating deficits up to an aggregate amount of $1.0 million. Parkway receives income from MBALP in the form of interest from a construction note receivable, incentive management fees and property management fees. Parkway also receives interest income on a note receivable from Parkway Moore, LLC ("PMLLC"). Any intercompany asset, liability, revenue and expense accounts between Parkway and MBALP and PMLLC have been eliminated.

Parkway serves as the general partner of Parkway Properties Office Fund, LP ("Ohio PERS 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. Since 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. At February 15, 2008, Ohio PERS Fund I was fully invested.

On May 14, 2008, Parkway formed Parkway Properties Office Fund II, LP ("Texas Teachers Fund II"), a $750.0 million discretionary fund with the Teacher Retirement System of Texas ("TRS"), for the purpose of acquiring high-quality multi-tenant office properties. TRS will be a 70% investor, and Parkway will be 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. The Company intends to fund its share of equity contributions with proceeds from asset sales, line of credit advances and/or sales of equity securities. The fund will target investments in office buildings in Houston, Austin, San Antonio, Chicago, Atlanta, Phoenix, Charlotte, Memphis, Nashville, Jacksonville, Orlando, Tampa/St. Petersburg, Ft. Lauderdale, as well as other growth markets to be determined at Parkway's discretion.

Parkway serves as the general partner of Texas Teachers Fund II and provides asset management, property management, leasing and construction management services for the fund, for which it will be paid market-based fees. Cash distributions from the fund will be made to each joint venture partner based on the percentage of ownership in the fund. Since 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. At December 31, 2009, no investments had been made on behalf of Texas Teachers Fund II.

Noncontrolling interest in real estate partnerships represents the other partners' proportionate share of equity in the partnerships discussed above at December 31, 2009. Income is allocated to noncontrolling interest based on the weighted average percentage ownership during the year.

Revenue from real estate rentals is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases. The cumulative difference between lease revenue recognized under this method and contractual lease payment terms is recorded as straight-line rent receivable on the accompanying balance sheets. The straight-line rent adjustment increased revenue by $6.7 million, $3.8 million and $3.2 million in 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Management company income represents market-based fees earned from providing management, construction, leasing, brokerage and acquisition services to third parties. Management fee income is computed and recorded monthly in accordance with the terms set forth in the stand alone management service agreements. Leasing and brokerage commissions are recognized pursuant to the terms of the stand alone agreements at the time underlying leases are signed, which is the point at which the earnings process is complete and collection of the fees is reasonably assured. Fees relating to the purchase or sale of property are recognized when the earnings process is complete and collection of the fees is reasonably assured, which usually occurs at closing. All fees on Company-owned properties and consolidated joint ventures are eliminated in consolidation. The Company recognizes its share of fees earned from unconsolidated joint ventures in management company income.

Debt origination costs are deferred and amortized using a method that approximates the effective interest method over the term of the loan. Leasing costs are deferred and amortized using the straight-line method over the term of the respective lease.

When outstanding debt is extinguished, the Company records any prepayment premium and unamortized loan costs to interest expense.

The Company recognizes all derivative instruments 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 (loss), depending on whether a derivative is designated as part of a hedge transaction and, if it is, the type of hedge transaction. The ineffective portion of the hedge, if any, is immediately recognized in earnings.

Effective January 1, 2003, the stockholders of the Company approved Parkway's 2003 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2003 Plan") that authorized the grant of up to 200,000 equity-based awards to employees of the Company. At present, it is Parkway's intention to grant restricted shares and/or deferred incentive share units instead of stock options. 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.

Compensation expense, including estimated forfeitures, is recognized over the expected vesting period, which is four to seven years from grant date for restricted shares subject to service conditions and four years from grant date for deferred incentive share units. Compensation expense for restricted shares subject to performance conditions is recognized over the expected vesting period when the Company determines that it is probable that the performance condition will be achieved.

Restricted shares and deferred incentive share units are forfeited if an employee leaves the Company before the vesting date. Shares and/or units that are forfeited become available for future grant under the 2003 Plan.

Effective January 1, 1997, the Company elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Company completed its reorganization into the UPREIT ("Umbrella Partnership REIT") structure effective January 1, 1998. The Company anticipates that the UPREIT structure will enable it to pursue additional investment opportunities by having the ability to offer tax-advantaged operating partnership units to property owners in exchange for properties.

A corporate REIT is a legal entity that holds real estate assets, and through distributions to stockholders, is exempt from the payment of Federal income taxes at the corporate level. To maintain qualification as a REIT, the Company is subject to a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that it currently distribute to stockholders at least 90% of its annual taxable income.

Basic earnings per share ("EPS") are computed by dividing income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the year. In arriving at net income (loss) available 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 for 2008 and 2009 did not include the effect of employee stock options, deferred incentive share units and restricted shares because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

Certain reclassifications have been made in the 2008 and 2007 consolidated financial statements to conform to the 2009 classifications with no impact on previously reported net income or equity. In 2008, the Company reported a total impairment loss of $2.5 million in other income and expenses. In 2009, the Company reclassified this impairment loss to expenses (included in operating income).

The Company has evaluated all subsequent events through the issuance date of the consolidated financial statements.

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standard Codification ("ASC") 805, "Business Combinations" ("FASB ASC 805"), which expands the scope of previous accounting guidance regarding business combinations to include all transactions and other events in which one entity obtains control over one or more other businesses. FASB ASC 805 applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008, requires that the acquisition related transaction costs be expensed as incurred and also includes new disclosure requirements. The impact of FASB ASC 805 on the Company's overall financial position and results of operations will be determined by the markets in which the Company invests. At December 31, 2009 the application of FASB ASC 805 had not impacted the Company's overall financial position or results of operations.

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB ASC 810-10-65, "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements" ("FASB ASC 810-10-65"). FASB ASC 810-10-65 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. FASB ASC 810-10-65 also amends certain consolidation procedures for consistency with the requirements of FASB ASC 805. FASB ASC 810-10-65 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Upon adoption of FASB ASC 810-10-65 the Company reclassified its noncontolling interest in real estate partnerships from noncontrolling interest to equity in the accompanying December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 consolidated balance sheets. In addition, the Company has separately disclosed the amount of consolidated net loss attributable to the Company and its noncontrolling interest in consolidated real estate partnerships in the accompanying December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 consolidated statements of income.

Effective January 1, 2009, the company adopted FASB ASC 815-10-65, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("FASB ASC 815-10-65"). FASB ASC 815-10-65 requires all entities with derivative instruments to disclose information regarding how and why the entity uses derivative instruments and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect the entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. The Statement is effective prospectively for periods beginning on or after November 15, 2008. The application of FASB ASC 815-10-65 did not have a material impact on the Company's overall financial position and results of operations upon adoption.

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB ASC 323-10, "Equity Method Investment Accounting Considerations ("FASB ASC 323-10"), which applies to all investments accounted for under the equity method and clarifies the accounting for certain transactions and impairment considerations involving those investments. FASB ASC 323-10 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The application of FASB ASC 323-10 did not have a material impact on the Company's overall financial position and results of operations upon its adoption.

During the second quarter of 2009, the Company adopted FASB ASC 825-10-65, "Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments ("FASB ASC 825-10-65"), which requires fair value disclosures for financial instruments that are not reflected in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. Prior to the issuance of FASB ASC 825-10-65, the fair values of those assets and liabilities were disclosed annually. Upon adoption of FASB ASC 825-10-65, the Company is now required to disclose this information on a quarterly basis, providing quantitative and qualitative information about fair value estimates for all financial instruments not measured in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value.

In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 166, "Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 140" ("SFAS No. 166") which amends SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities," by: eliminating the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity ("QSPE"); clarifying and amending the derecognition criteria for a transfer to be accounted for as a sale; amending and clarifying the unit of account eligible for sale accounting; and requiring that a transferor initially measure at fair value and recognize all assets obtained (for example beneficial interests) and liabilities incurred as a result of a transfer of an entire financial asset or group of financial assets accounted for as a sale. Additionally, on and after the effective date, existing QSPEs (as defined under previous accounting standards) must be evaluated for consolidation by reporting entities in accordance with the applicable consolidation guidance. SFAS No. 166 requires enhanced disclosures about, among other things, a transferor's continuing involvement with transfers of financial assets accounted for as sales, the risks inherent in the transferred financial assets that have been retained, and the nature of financial effect of restrictions on the transferor's assets that continue to be reported in the consolidated balance sheets. SFAS No. 166 will be effective as of the beginning of interim and annual reporting periods that begin after November 15, 2009. The application of SFAS No. 166 in 2010 did not have a material impact on the Company's overall financial position and results of operations upon adoption. In December 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2009-16, "Topic 860 - Transfers and Servicing", which formally codifies SFAS No. 166.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, "Amendments of FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)" ("SFAS No. 167"). SFAS No. 167 amends FIN 46(R), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities," and charges the consolidation guidance applicable to a variable interest entity ("VIE"). It also amends the guidance governing the determination of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, and is, therefore, required to consolidate an entity, by requiring a qualitative analysis rather than a quantitative analysis. The qualitative analysis will include, among other things, consideration of who has the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and who has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The standard also requires continuous reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. Previously, FIN 46(R) required reconsideration of whether an enterprise was the primary beneficiary of a VIE only when specific events had occurred. QSPEs, which were previously exempt from the application of this standard, will be subject to the provisions of this standard when it becomes effective. SFAS No. 167 also requires enhanced disclosures about an enterprise's involvement with a VIE, SFAS No. 167 will be effective as of the beginning of interim and annual reporting periods that begin after November 15, 2009. The application of SFAS No. 167 in 2010 did not have a material impact on the Company's overall financial position and results of operations upon adoption as the Company will continue to account for its unconsolidated joint ventures under the equity method of accounting. In December 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-17, "Topic 810 - Consolidations", which formally codifies SFAS No. 167.

In June 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-01, "Topic 105-Generally Accepted Accounting Principles - amendments based on Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 168 - The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles" ("ASU 2009-01"), which will become the source of authoritative United States GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. ASU 2009-01 brings together in one place all authoritative GAAP previously in levels A through D of the GAAP hierarchy that has been issued by a standard setter, for example, FASB Statements, FASB Interpretations, EITF Abstracts, FASB Staff Positions and AICPA Accounting and Auditing Guides. ASU 2009-01 is effective as of the beginning of interim and annual reporting periods that begin after September 15, 2009. At December 31, 2009, the Company has adopted ASU 2009-01.

The square feet and percentage leased statistics presented in Notes B, D and G are unaudited.

Included in investment in office and parking properties at December 31, 2009 are 59 office and parking properties located in nine states with an aggregate of 12.4 million square feet of leasable space. This excludes office properties in unconsolidated joint ventures, which are outlined in Note D - Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures.

During 2009, the Company sold two non-strategic office properties described below. The Company received gross proceeds of $16.5 million and recorded a net gain on sale of $470,000. Parkway Realty Services, LLC, a subsidiary of the Company was retained to provide management and leasing services for the properties. Therefore, all revenue and expenses for these properties are included as a component of continuing operations.

• On February 20, 2009, the Company sold Lynnwood Plaza, an 82,000 square foot office building in Hampton Roads, Virginia, to an unrelated third party for a gross sales price of $7.8 million. Parkway recorded a loss on the sale of $70,000 in 2009.

• On June 1, 2009, the Company sold 1717 St. James Place, a 110,000 square foot office building in Houston, Texas to an unrelated third party for a gross sales price of $8.7 million. Parkway recorded a gain on the sale of $540,000 in 2009.

The Company has 13 wholly-owned properties and one jointly-owned property totaling 2.3 million square feet in Houston, Texas, which sustained some property damage from Hurricane Ike on September 13, 2008. The total damages for the 14 properties was $6.3 million. The Company's insurance deductible related to these claims was approximately $2.2 million. Approximately $365,000 represents repair and clean up costs with the remainder representing capitalized costs. The Company recorded a net gain of $823,000 related to an involuntary conversion of the damaged assets in 2009.

Minimum future operating lease payments for various equipment leased at the office properties is as follows for operating leases in place at December 31, 2009 (in thousands):

The following is a schedule by year of future approximate minimum rental receipts under noncancelable leases for office buildings owned at December 31, 2009 (in thousands):

The following is a schedule by year of future approximate minimum ground lease payments at December 31, 2009 (in thousands):

At December 31, 2009, Ohio PERS Fund I owned Desert Ridge Corporate Center in Phoenix, Arizona that is subject to a ground lease. The lease has a remaining term of approximately 82 years with an expiration date of July 2092. Payments through July 13, 2013 are based on a rental constant applied to a per acre value. The rental constant is established for the duration of the ground lease and adjusts each five years. Starting July 2013, the rental payment is the higher of the amount previously described, or 0.35% of the valuation of the improvements of the previous year.

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 for $6.9 million. The B piece was originated by Wachovia Bank, N.A., a Wells Fargo Company, and has a face value of $10.0 million and a stated coupon rate of 6.065%. Upon maturity in May 2012, the Company will receive a principal payment of $10.0 million, which produces a yield to maturity of 15.6%. The balance of the mortgage loan was $8.1 million at December 31, 2009.

In addition to the 59 office and parking properties included in the consolidated financial statements, the Company is also invested in four unconsolidated joint ventures with unrelated investors. These investments are accounted for using the equity method of accounting, as Parkway does not control any of these joint ventures. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of the joint ventures are not included on Parkway's consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2009 and 2008. Information relating to these unconsolidated joint ventures is detailed below (in thousands):

Parkway provides management, construction and leasing service for all of the unconsolidated joint ventures except for the Wink-Parkway Partnership, and receives market-based fees for these services. The Company recognizes its share of fees earned from unconsolidated joint ventures in management company income.

At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company's investment in unconsolidated joint ventures was $2.5 million, or 0.2% of total assets and $11.1 million, or 0.7% of total assets, respectively.

During the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, the Company recorded equity in earnings from unconsolidated joint ventures of $445,000, $894,000 and $1.0 million, respectively. Additionally, during the fourth quarter of 2009, Parkway recognized a $8.8 million non-cash other-than-temporary impairment loss on its investment in the Rubicon JV and Maitland JV. The impairment is principally due to two customers totaling over 120,000 square feet in the office properties that are unable to meet their rent obligations due to financial difficulty. Of the total square footage, 90,000 square feet has been vacated and another 30,000 square feet is expected to be vacated during 2010. Additionally, on January 20, 2010, the Company's joint venture partner, Rubicon U.S. REIT, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, rendering our partner unable to support their continuing share of the joint venture obligations.

In most cases the Company's share of debt related to its unconsolidated joint ventures is the same as its ownership percentage in the venture. However, in the case of the Rubicon Joint Venture and Maitland Joint Venture, the Company's share of debt is disproportionate to its ownership percentage. The disproportionate debt structure was created to meet the Company's partner's financing criteria. In the Rubicon Joint Venture, Parkway owns a 20% interest in the venture but assumed 13.85% of the debt. In the Maitland Joint Venture, the Company owns a 20% interest in the venture and assumed none of the debt. The terms related to Parkway's share of unconsolidated joint venture mortgage debt are summarized below for December 31, 2009 and 2008 (in thousands):

Parkway's share of the scheduled principal payments on mortgage debt for the unconsolidated joint ventures for each of the next five years and thereafter through maturity at December 31, 2009 are as follows (in thousands):

(1) During the fourth quarter of 2009, Parkway recognized a $8.8 million non-cash other-than-temporary impairment loss on its investment in the Rubicon JV and Maitland JV. Therefore, the Company has excluded its share of debt in the Rubicon JV of $7.1 million at December 31, 2009 in the schedule above. The impairment is principally due to two customers totaling over 120,000 square feet in the office properties that are unable to meet their rent obligations due to financial difficulty. Of the total square footage, 90,000 square feet has been vacated and another 30,000 square feet is expected to be vacated during 2010. Additionally, on January 20, 2010, the Company's joint venture partner, Rubicon U.S. REIT, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, rendering our partner unable to support their continuing share of the joint venture obligations.

At December 31, 2009 and 2008, Parkway's investment in land available for sale consisted of 12 acres of land in New Orleans, Louisiana with a book value of $750,000.

At December 31, 2009, the Company had a total of $100 million outstanding under the following lines of credit (collectively, the "Company's line of credit") (in thousands):

(1) The interest rate on the $15.0 million unsecured line of credit with PNC Bank is currently LIBOR plus 200 basis points. The Company pays fees on the unused portion of the line of 25 basis points.

(2) The $236.0 million unsecured line of credit is led by Wells Fargo and syndicated to eight other banks. The interest rate on the line of credit interest rate is currently LIBOR plus 115 basis points or the Prime interest rate plus 25 basis points. At December 31, 2009, all amounts outstanding under this line of credit are fixed by an interest rate swap agreement. The Company pays an annual administration fee of $35,000 and fees on the unused portion of the revolver ranging between 12.5 and 20 basis points based upon overall Company leverage, with the rate set at 20 basis points at December 31, 2009.

(3) The $60.0 million unsecured term loan is led by Wells Fargo and syndicated to eight other banks. The interest rate on the term loan is fixed by an interest rate swap agreement. Excluding the interest rate swaps, the interest rate on the term loan is LIBOR plus 115 basis points.

To protect against the potential for rapidly rising interest rates, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements in 2008. 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 and a portion of the debt secured by the Pinnacle at Jackson Place. These swaps are considered to be fully effective and changes in the fair value of the swaps are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The Company's interest rate hedge contracts at December 31, 2009 and 2008 are summarized as follows (in thousands):

(1) On February 27, 2009, the Company paid off the mortgage note payable secured by the 1717 St. James, 5300 Memorial and Town and Country office buildings in Houston, Texas, with a total principal balance of $21.8 million with advances under the Company's line of credit. The mortgage had an interest rate of 4.83% and was scheduled to mature March 1, 2009.

(2) On February 8, 2010, the Company completed a $35.0 million non-recourse, fixed-rate first mortgage loan related to the refinance of a $60.0 million recourse mortgage that was scheduled to mature in May 2010. The loan bears interest at 7.25% and is secured by the Company's Capital City Plaza building in Atlanta, Georgia. The loan will mature in March 2017 and includes the option to be prepaid at the end of five years at a cost of 1% of the outstanding loan balance.

(3) On May 4, 2009, the Company placed a $18.5 million seven-year non-recourse first mortgage with a fixed interest rate of 7.6% per annum, and the proceeds were used to reduce borrowings under the line of credit. The mortgage is secured by two office buildings in Houston, Texas.

(4) The New Markets Tax Credit loans have a stated maturity of December 27, 2047, but contain an early repayment option whereby the lender may call the loans in December 2014. In the event the lender exercises this option, the outstanding principal balance of the loans will be reduced by $3.0 million. Additionally, the Company has entered into an interest rate swap agreement with US Bank for a $23.5 million notional amount that fixes the 30-day LIBOR interest rate at 4.05%, which equates to a total current interest rate of 5.8%, for the period January 1, 2009, through December 1, 2014. The swap agreement serves as a hedge of the variable interest rates on the borrowings under the Pinnacle at Jackson Place Senior New Market Tax Credits mortgage loan. The weighted average interest rate for the total New Markets Tax Credits loans is 5.2%.

The aggregate annual maturities of mortgage notes payable at December 31, 2009 are as follows (in thousands):

All current and prior period income from the following office property dispositions are included in discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 (in thousands).

The amount of revenue and expense for these three office properties reported in discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 is as follows (in thousands):

The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code, commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 1997. To qualify as a REIT, the Company must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that it currently distribute at least 90% of its adjusted taxable income to its stockholders. It is management's current intention to adhere to these requirements and maintain the Company's REIT status, and the Company was in compliance with all REIT requirements at December 31, 2009. As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to corporate level federal income tax on taxable income it distributes currently to its stockholders. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to federal income taxes at regular corporate rates (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for four subsequent taxable years. Even if the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, the Company may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property, and to federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed taxable income. In addition, taxable income from non-REIT activities managed through taxable REIT subsidiaries is subject to federal, state and local income taxes.

In January 1998, the Company completed its reorganization into an UPREIT structure under which substantially all of the Company's real estate assets are owned by an operating partnership, Parkway Properties LP. Presently, substantially all interests in the Operating Partnership are owned by the Company and a wholly-owned subsidiary.

At December 31, 2009, the Company had net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards for federal income tax purposes of $3.8 million which expire at various dates beginning in 2010 through 2018. The utilization of these NOLs can cause the Company to incur a small alternative minimum tax liability.

The Company's income differs for income tax and financial reporting purposes principally because real estate owned has a different basis for tax and financial reporting purposes, producing different gains upon disposition and different amounts of annual depreciation. The following reconciles GAAP net income to taxable income for the years ending December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 (in thousands):

(1) GAAP net income from REIT operations is net of amounts attributable to noncontrolling interest.

The following characterizes distributions paid per common share for the years ending December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007:

Effective January 1, 2003, the stockholders of the Company approved the 2003 Plan that authorized the grant of up to 200,000 equity-based awards to employees of the Company. At present, it is Parkway's intention to grant restricted shares and/or deferred incentive share units instead of stock options to employees of the Company, although the 2003 Plan authorizes various forms of incentive awards, including options. On each July 1 beginning with July, 2004, the number of shares available under the plan will increase automatically by 0.25% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding on that date (increase of 54,053 and 38,225 shares in 2009 and 2008, respectively), provided that the number of shares available for grant under this plan and the 2001 Directors' Plan shall not exceed 11.5% of the shares outstanding (less the restricted shares issued and outstanding) plus shares issuable on the conversion of outstanding convertible debt and equity securities or the exercise of warrants or other rights to purchase common shares. The 2003 Plan has a ten-year term.

During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Board of Directors approved the grant of 120,500 restricted shares to officers of the Company. Excluding forfeitures, there are 119,750 restricted shares outstanding that are valued at $1.9 million. The shares vest at a rate of 29,938 shares per year over the four years following the grant date and were subject to certain performance-based goals that were established and achieved in 2009. Due to the achievement of the 2009 performance goals, 29,938 restricted shares vested and were issued to officers of the Company on February 10, 2010.

At December 31, 2009, a total of 308,975 shares of restricted stock have been granted to officers of the Company. The shares are valued at $9.2 million, which equates to an average price per share of $29.94, with 99,000 shares vesting seven years from the grant date and 90,225 shares vesting four years from grant date. The remaining 119,750 shares will vest subject to certain performance-based goals achieved in 2009 at a rate of 29,938 per year over the four years following the grant date. The value, including estimated forfeitures, of restricted shares that vest based on service conditions will be amortized to compensation expense ratably over the vesting period for each grant of stock. At December 31, 2009, a total of 18,055 deferred incentive share units have been granted to employees of the Company. The deferred incentive share units are valued at $615,000, which equates to an average price per share of $34.08, and the units vest four years from grant date. Total compensation expense related to the restricted stock and deferred incentive units of $2.6 million, $2.3 million and $1.5 million was recognized in 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Total compensation expense related to nonvested awards not yet recognized was $2.2 million at December 31, 2009. The weighted average period over which this expense is expected to be recognized is approximately 1.8 years.

A summary of the Company's restricted stock and deferred incentive share unit activity under the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan is as follows:

A summary of the Company's stock option activity and related information is as follows:

There were no stock option exercises for the year ended December 31, 2009. The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised for the years ended December 31, 2008, and 2007 was $22,000 and $1.7 million, respectively.

Following is a summary of the status of options outstanding at December 31, 2009:

Parkway maintains a 401(k) plan for its employees. The Company makes matching contributions of 50% of the employee's contribution (limited to 10% of compensation as defined by the plan) and may also make annual discretionary contributions. The Company's total expense for this plan was $443,000, $952,000 and $1.1 million for the years ending December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Parkway is subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. These matters are generally covered by insurance. The Company believes that the final outcome of such matters will not have a material effect on our financial statements.

Parkway has an investment in Moore Building Associates LP ("MBALP") established for the purpose of owning a commercial office building (the Toyota Center in Memphis, Tennessee). Parkway has a 75% ownership interest in MBALP and acts as the managing general partner of this partnership. In acting as the general partner, the Company is committed to providing additional funding to meet partnership operating deficits up to an aggregate of $1.0 million.

Included in operating expenses are taxes, principally property taxes, of $40.6 million, $39.7 million and $32.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Supplemental Cash Flow Information and Schedule of Non-Cash Investing and Financing Activity

The following table reflects the portion of the purchase price of office properties allocated to intangible assets, as discussed in "Note A". The portion of purchase price allocated to below market lease value and the related accumulated amortization is reflected in the Schedule of Accounts Payable and Other Liabilities within this note.

In June 2003, the Company sold 2.4 million shares of 8.0% Series D Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock with net proceeds to the Company of approximately $58.0 million. The Series D Preferred Stock has a $25 liquidation value per share and will be redeemable at the option of the Company on or after June 27, 2008. The preferred stock has no stated maturity, sinking fund or mandatory redemption and is not convertible into any other securities of the Company.

The Company declared dividends of $2.00 per share for the Series D Preferred stock for each of the three years 2009, 2008 and 2007.

The Company's shares of Series D preferred stock are listed on the New York Stock Exchange and trade under the symbol "PKY PrD".

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).

The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents approximated fair value at December 31, 2009 and 2008.

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, and the carrying amount of the mortgage loan was approximately $8.1 million at December 31, 2009. The carrying amount for the mortgage loan approximated fair value at December 31, 2009.

The fair value of the mortgage notes payable are 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 December 31, 2009 was $795.9 million as compared to its carrying amount of $852.7 million. The aggregate fair value of the mortgage notes payable at December 31, 2008 was $778.9 million as compared to its carrying amount of $869.6 million.

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 December 31, 2009 and 2008 was $4.9 million and $7.7 million, respectively.

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 available to common shareholders ("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. Funds from operations is defined by NAREIT as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses from sales of property 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. 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.

The following is a reconciliation of FFO and net income available to common stockholders for office properties and total consolidated entities for the years ending December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007. Amounts presented as "Unallocated and Other" represent primarily income and expense associated with providing management services, corporate general and administration expense, interest expense on unsecured lines of credit and preferred dividends.

A summary of activity for real estate and accumulated depreciation is as follows:

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

The Company's management, with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of Parkway's disclosure controls and procedures at December 31, 2009. Based on that evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer concluded that Parkway's disclosure controls and procedures were effective at December 31, 2009. There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of 2009 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

The Company's internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company's management and Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to the financial statement preparation and presentation.

The Company's management, with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company's management has assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting at December 31, 2009. In making this assessment, we used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control - Integrated Framework. Based on our assessment we have concluded that, at December 31, 2009, the Company's internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria. Our independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG LLP, has provided an audit report on the Company's internal control over financial reporting at December 31, 2009.

We have audited Parkway Properties, Inc.'s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, based on the criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Parkway Properties, Inc.'s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, Parkway Properties, Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, based on the criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Parkway Properties, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2009, and our report dated March 5, 2010, expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.
