NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1. Accounting Records and Use of Estimates:

The accounting records are maintained in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP").
The preparation of the Company's financial statements in accordance with
GAAP requires management to make estimates that affect the reported
consolidated statements of income and retained earnings, comprehensive
income, and the consolidated balance sheets and related disclosures.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The interim financial statements are prepared pursuant to the requirements
for reporting on Form 10-Q. The July 31, 2002 balance sheet was derived
from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures
required by GAAP. The interim financial statements and notes thereto
should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes
included in the Company's latest Form 10-K Annual Report for the fiscal
year ended July 31, 2002. In the opinion of management, the interim
financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature
necessary for a fair statement of the results for interim periods. The
results of operations for the current period are not necessarily indicative
of the results for the entire fiscal year ending July 31, 2003.

2. Income Per Share of Common Stock:

Income per share has been computed by dividing the net income for the
periods by the weighted average number of shares of common stock
outstanding during the periods, adjusted for the purchase of treasury
stock. Shares used in computing income per share were 2,033,280 for each
of the three months ended October 31, 2002, and October 31, 2001.

3. Comprehensive Income:

SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", establishes standards for
the reporting of comprehensive income and its components. It requires all
items that are required to be recognized as components of comprehensive
income be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with the same
prominence as other income statement information. Comprehensive income is
defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from
investments by and distributions to shareholders.

4. Marketable Securities:

The Company categorizes marketable securities as either trading, available-
for-sale or held-to-maturity. Trading securities are carried at fair value
with unrealized gains and losses included in income. Available-for-sale
securities are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses
recorded as a separate component of shareholders' equity. Held-to-maturity
securities are carried at amortized cost. Dividends and interest income
are accrued as earned.

5. Financial Instruments and Credit Risk Concentrations:

Financial instruments that are potentially subject to concentrations of
credit risk consist principally of marketable securities, cash and cash
equivalents and receivables. Marketable securities and cash and cash
equivalents are placed with high credit quality financial institutions and
instruments to minimize risk.

The Company derives rental income from thirty-nine tenants, of which one
tenant accounted for 18.03% and another tenant accounted for 15.33% of
rental income during the three months ended October 31, 2002. No other
tenant accounted for more than 10% of rental income during the same
period.

(a) The Company, on September 11, 1996, closed a loan with a bank in the
amount of $4,000,000. The loan is secured by a first mortgage lien covering
the entire leasehold interest of the Company, as tenant, in a certain ground
lease and building in the Jamaica, New York property. The interest rate on
the loan was 8.50% for a period of five (5) years and six (6) months, with
such rate to change on the first day of the sixty-seventh (67th) month of the
term to a rate equal to the then prime rate plus .25%, fixed for the balance
of the term. As of April 1, 2002, the effective rate was reduced to 5.00%
per annum. The loan is to become due and payable on the first day of the
month following the expiration of ten (10) years and six (6) months from the
closing date.

(b) The Company, on December 13, 2000, closed a loan with a bank in the
amount of $3,500,000. The loan is secured by a second position leasehold
mortgage covering the entire leasehold interest of the Company as tenant in a
certain ground lease and building in the Jamaica, New York property. The
loan proceeds were utilized by the Company toward its costs of capital
improvements of the premises in connection with the Company's lease of a
significant portion of a floor in the building to the State of New York.

The loan is structured in two phases:

1.) A fifteen-month construction term with interest only on the
amount owing at a floating rate per annum equal to the prime rate.

2.) Upon completion of the renovations, the construction loan was
converted to a ten (10) year second mortgage permanent loan on a
fifteen (15) year level amortization, plus interest. The interest
rate on the permanent loan during the first five (5) years is fixed at
6.98% per annum. The interest rate during the five (5) year renewal
term is at a fixed rate per annum equal to 2.25% above the five (5)
year Treasury Note Rate then in effect.

Payments are to be made, in arrears, on the first day of each and every
month calculated (a) during the period of the construction loan,
interest only, and (b) during the ten (10) year period of the term loan,
at the sum of the interest rate plus amortization sufficient to fully
liquidate the loan over a fifteen (15) year period. As additional
collateral security, the Company will conditionally assign to the bank
all leases and rents on the premises, or portions thereof, whether now
existing or hereafter consummated. The Company has an option to prepay
-8-

principal, in whole or in part, plus interest accrued thereon, at any
time during the term, without premium or penalty. Other provisions of
the loan agreement provide certain restrictions on the incurrence of
indebtedness and the sale or transfer of the Company's ground lease
interest in the premises. Both credit facilities are subject to the
bank's existing first position mortgage loan on the premises. On August
2, 2001, the Company took down the balance of the loan of $1,200,000.


(c)Mortgage is held by an affiliated corporation owned by members,
including certain directors of the Company, of the family of the late
Joe Weinstein, former Chairman of the Board of Directors. Interest and
amortization of principal are paid quarterly. Effective April 1, 2000,
the maturity date of the mortgage was extended to March 31, 2005. The
interest rate remained at 9% per annum. During the extended period the
constant quarterly payments of interest and principal increased from
$37,263 to $38,044. The mortgage loan is self-amortizing.

(d)On June 2, 1999, the existing first mortgage loan balance on the
Fishkill, New York property was extended for a period of five years.
Under the terms of the extension agreement the annual interest rate was
reduced from 9% to 8.25% and the interest and principal payments are to
be made in constant monthly amounts based upon a fifteen (15) year
payout period.

(e)The mortgage loan, which was self-amortizing, matured September 30,
2002. The final payment was made September 1, 2002.

9. Unbilled Receivables and Rental Income:

Unbilled receivables represent the excess of scheduled rental income
recognized on a straight-line basis over rental income as it becomes
receivable according to the provisions of each lease.

The Company had leased from an affiliate one of the stores which was
closed in connection with its reorganization proceedings in 1982. The
Company, by agreement with the affiliate, modified and assigned its lease
to a third party. The agreement with the affiliate provided for certain
monthly payments to be made to the Company through August 30, 2002, the
termination date of the agreement. Rental income includes $69,629 for the
quarter ended October 31, 2002, and $103,403 for the quarter ended October
31, 2001, representing rentals from the affiliated company.

10 Employees' Retirement Plan:

The Company sponsors a noncontributory Money Purchase Plan covering
substantially all of its employees. Operations were charged $64,988 and
$63,586 as contributions to the Plan for the three months ended October
31, 2002, and October 31, 2001, respectively.

11. Cash Flow Information:

For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers cash
equivalents to consist of short-term highly liquid investments with
maturities of three months or less, which are readily convertible into
cash.

Statements.

J. W. MAYS, INC.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

Results of Operations:

Three Months Ended October 31, 2002 Compared to the Three Months Ended October
31, 2001:

In the three months ended October 31, 2002, the Company reported net income of
$317,076, or $.16 per share. In the comparable three months ended October 31,
2001, the Company reported net income of $387,572, or $.19 per share.

Revenues in the current three months increased to $3,245,378 from $3,166,187
in the comparable 2001 three months.

Real estate operating expenses in the current three months increased to
$1,640,297 from $1,475,091 in the comparable 2001 three months primarily due
to a increase in payroll, insurance, maintenance and utility costs, partially
offset by a decrease in real estate taxes.

Administrative and general expenses in the current three months increased to
$696,761 from $601,924 in the comparable 2001 three months due to an increase
in insurance, and legal and professional costs.

Depreciation and amortization expense in the current three months increased to
$291,910 from $280,305 in the comparable 2001 three months, primarily due to
depreciation on the additional improvements to the Jamaica, New York property.

Interest expense in the current three months exceeded investment income by
$71,334 and by $105,295 in the comparable 2001 three months. The decrease was
due to a reduction of the interest rate on a mortgage on the Jamaica, New York
property and by scheduled repayments of debt.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

The Company has been operating as a real estate enterprise since the
discontinuance of the retail department store segment of its operations on
January 3, 1989.

Management considers current working capital and borrowing capabilities
adequate to cover the Company's planned operating and capital requirements.
The Company's cash and cash equivalents amounted to $2,730,598 at October 31,
2002.

One of the retail tenants at the Company's Jamaica, New York location, under
lease dated March 29, 1990, as amended, filed under Chapter 11 of United
States Bankruptcy Code on October 7, 2002. The tenant did not pay the amount
due at July 31, 2002 which amount was written off as a bad debt at July 31,
2002. The tenant has not paid the fixed rent and the additional rent and
expenses due for the period, August 1, 2002 through October 6, 2002. The
Company has reason to believe that the tenant does not intend to pay such
amounts and accordingly, has not recorded as income during the three months
ended October 31, 2002, the amount due of fixed rent of $149,933 and the
additional rent and other operating expenses of $36,833, for a total of
$186,766. The tenant has paid the fixed rent and additional rent and other
operating expenses for the period October, 7, 2002 through November 30, 2002.
There was no comparable item in the 2001 corresponding quarter.

-12-


One tenant occupies the entire Circleville, Ohio property comprising a
warehouse distribution building of approximately 193,000 square feet on
approximately 11.66 acreage of land. The term of the lease terminated
September 30, 2002. An extension and modification of lease (term and rental)

Controls and Procedures

We currently have in place systems relating to internal controls with respect
to our financial information. We also have in place disclosure controls and
procedures with respect to ensuring that all material information required to
be filed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q has been made known to
management, and especially the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, in a timely fashion. Our management periodically reviews and
evaluates these internal controls and disclosure controls and procedures with
our internal auditor and our independent auditors and has done so within 90
days of filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We have determined that
the internal controls and the disclosure controls and procedures were
effective as of the date of their evaluation in timely alerting them to
material information (both of a financial and a non-financial nature) relating
to the Company, including its consolidated subsidiaries.

We have determined that there have been no significant changes in our internal
controls and our disclosure controls and procedures or in other factors that
could significantly affect these controls subsequent to our most recent
evaluation. While we believe that our internal controls and our disclosure
controls and procedures are effective, we understand that the SEC may be
promulgating additional rules relating to disclosure controls and procedures.
We cannot provide assurance that either our internal controls or our
disclosure controls and procedures will not change in the future to reflect
new rules of the SEC.
