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, 2004 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, 2004. 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, 2005.

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 2,015,780 for each
of the three and nine months ended April 30, 2005 and April 30, 2004.

3. Comprehensive Income:

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (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.

-6-




As of April 30, 2005, the Company's marketable securities were classified as follows:

------------- ------------- ------------- -------------

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













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 forty-four tenants, of which one
tenant accounted for 17.13% of rental income during the nine months ended
April 30, 2005. No other tenant accounted for more than 10% of rental
income during the same period.

The Company has two irrevocable Letters of Credit totaling $137,500 at
April 30, 2005, provided by two tenants, and had three irrevocable Letters
of Credit totaling $319,000 at July 31, 2004, provided by three tenants.

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


(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 outstanding
balance of the loan, totaling $1,355,555 will become due and payable on
April 1, 2007.

(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
outstanding balance of the loan, totaling $2,739,453 will become due and
payable on August 1, 2006.

Payments are to be made, in arrears, on the first day of each and every
month calculated 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
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 on the Jamaica property 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.

(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. The constant quarterly payments of interest
and principal are $38,044. The mortgage loan is self-amortizing. As of
April 30, 2005, the mortgage loan was paid in full.

(d) The Company, on May 7, 2004, closed a loan with an affiliated corporation
(see Note 6(c)) in the amount of $1,350,000. The term of the loan is for a
period of five (5) years at an interest rate of 9.00% per annum. Interest
and amortization of principal are paid quarterly based on a fifteen (15) year
level amortization period. The constant quarterly payments of interest and
principal are $40,316. The funds were used to purchase a one-half interest
in a property that is part of the Company's Brooklyn, New York building (Bond
Street building). The outstanding balance of the loan, totaling $1,056,007,
will become due and payable on April 1, 2009.

(e) 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 were made in
constant monthly amounts based upon a fifteen (15) year payout period. On
August 19, 2004, the Company extended the loan for an additional forty-two
(42) months, with an option to convert the loan to a seven (7) year
permanent mortgage loan. The payments for the extended period of forty-two
(42) months will be interest only on the amount owing at a floating rate
per annum equal to the one-month LIBOR rate plus 2.25%, but not less than

-8-

3.40%. The payments for the seven-year permanent mortgage loan would be on
a seventeen (17) year level amortization, plus interest. The interest rate
on the permanent loan would be a fixed rate equal to the Federal Home Loan
Bank of New York's seven-year (7) fixed interest rate plus 2.25% per annum.
(See Note 6(f)).

(f) The Company, on August 19, 2004, closed a loan with a bank for a
$12,000,000 multiple draw term loan. This loan finances seventy-five (75%)
percent of the cost of capital improvements for an existing lease to a
tenant and capital improvements to future tenant leases at the Company's
Brooklyn, New York (Bond Street building) and Fishkill, New York
properties. The loan also refinances the existing mortgage on the
Company's Fishkill, New York property which matured on July 1, 2004 (see
Note 6 (e)). The Company will have three and one-half years to draw down
amounts under this loan. The loan consists of: a) a permanent, first
mortgage loan to refinance an existing first mortgage loan affecting the
Fishkill Property (the 'First Permanent Loan') (see Note 6(e)), b) a
permanent subordinate mortgage loan in the amount of $1,870,000 (the
'Second Permanent Loan'), and c) multiple, successively subordinate loans
in the amount $8,295,274 ('Subordinate Building Loans'). The loan is
structured in two phases: 1) a forty-two month loan with payments of
interest only at the floating one-month LIBOR rate plus 2.25% per annum,
but not less than 3.40%; and 2) after the forty-two month period, the loan
would convert to a seven-year (7) permanent mortgage loan on a seventeen
(17) year level amortization, plus interest, at the option of the Company.
The interest rate on the permanent loan would be at a fixed rate equal to
the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York's seven-year (7) fixed interest rate
plus 2.25% per annum. As of August 19, 2004, the Company refinanced the
existing mortgage on the Company's Fishkill, New York property, which
balance was $1,834,726 and took down an additional $2,820,000 for capital
improvements for two tenants at the Company's Bond Street building in
Brooklyn, New York. The outstanding balance as of April 30, 2005 was
$4,654,726.

(g)On February 18, 2005, the Company secured financing in the amount of
$1,700,000, from a bank whose president is a director of the Company. The
loan will be used to finance the construction costs and brokerage
commissions associated with the leasing of 28,801 square feet for office
use to a tenant at the Company's Jowein building, in Brooklyn, New York.
The loan is a multiple draw demand loan, for a period of five (5) years,
and is self-amortizing, at an interest rate of 6.50% per annum. As of
April 30, 2005, the Company drew down the $1,700,000.

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

Results of Operations:

Three Months Ended April 30, 2005 Compared to the Three Months Ended April 30,
2004:

In the three months ended April 30, 2005, the Company reported net income of
$43,481, or $.02 per share. In the comparable three months ended April 30,
2004, the Company reported net income of $274,320, or $.14 per share.

Revenues in the current three months decreased to $3,176,617 from $3,490,161
in the comparable 2004 three months. The decrease in revenues was due to the
New York City Department of Finance vacating the Company's Jowein building in
Brooklyn, New York in June 2004, and the tenant vacating the Levittown, New
York premises in September 2004, partially offset by the revenues from the
Company's leasing to two office tenants at its Bond Street building in
Brooklyn, New York, the leasing to three office tenants at its Jowein building
in Brooklyn, New York, and the leasing to a retail tenant at its Jamaica, New
York building.

Real estate operating expenses in the current three months decreased to
$1,890,989 from $1,902,440 in the comparable 2004 three months primarily due
to decreases in rental expense, maintenance costs, insurance costs and
licenses and permits, partially offset by increases in real estate taxes,
payroll costs and utility costs..

Administrative and general expenses in the current three months increased to
$680,744 from $661,976 in the comparable 2004 three months primarily due to
increases in payroll and insurance costs.

Depreciation and amortization expense in the current three months increased to
$373,649 from $343,161 in the comparable 2004 three months primarily due to
depreciation on the additional improvements to the Brooklyn, New York and the
Jamaica, New York properties and acquisitions of the three parcels in
Brooklyn, New York.

Interest expense and other expenses in the current three months exceeded
investment income by $158,754 and by $23,264 in the comparable 2004 three
months. The increase was due primarily to increased interest expense on the
additional loans with banks, a note payable from a director, and a decrease in
income due to the gains on the sale of the Company's marketable securities in
the 2004 three months, partially offset by scheduled repayments of debt.

Nine Months Ended April 30, 2005 Compared to the Nine Months Ended April 30,
2004:

In the nine months ended April 30, 2005, the Company reported net income of
$194,280, or $.09 per share. In the comparable nine months ended April 30,
2004, the Company reported net income of $703,479, or $.35 per share.

Revenues in the current nine months decreased to $9,505,463 from $10,251,285
in the comparable 2004 nine months. The decrease in revenues was due to the
New York City Department of Finance vacating the Company's Jowein building in
Brooklyn, New York in June 2004, and the tenant vacating the Levittown, New
York premises in September 2004, partially offset by the revenues from the
Company's leasing to two office tenants at its Bond Street building in
Brooklyn, New York, the leasing to three office tenants at its Jowein building
in Brooklyn, New York and the leasing to a retail tenant at its Jamaica, New
York building.

Real estate operating expenses in the current nine months decreased to
$5,540,126 from $5,784,737 in the comparable 2004 nine months primarily due to
decreases in rental expense, maintenance costs, insurance costs and licenses
and permits, partially offset by increases in real estate taxes, payroll costs
and utility costs.

Administrative and general expenses in the current nine months increased to
$2,124,253 from $2,012,262 in the comparable 2004 nine months primarily due to
increases in payroll and insurance costs.

Depreciation and amortization expense in the current nine months increased to
$1,086,358 from $982,483 in the comparable 2004 nine months primarily due to
depreciation on the additional improvements to the Brooklyn, New York and the
Jamaica, New York properties and acquisitions of the three parcels in
Brooklyn, New York.

-11-

Interest expense and other expenses in the current nine months exceeded
investment income by $448,446 and by $152,324 in the comparable 2004 nine
months. The increase was due primarily to increased interest expense on the
additional loans with banks, a note payable from a director, a decrease in
income due to the gains on the sale of the Company's marketable securities in
the 2004 nine months, and a decrease in dividend income due to the sale of the
Company's marketable securities, partially offset 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 $1,643,616 at April 30,
2005.

In November 2004, the Company leased 24,109 square feet for retail use at its
Jamaica, New York property. The space was formerly a retail store which
vacated the Jamaica, New York property in March 2003. The Company divided the
premises into three retail stores. As of April 30, 2005, the Company has
leased the entire 78,398 square feet to three tenants. Rent commenced in
September 2003 for two tenants and rent commenced in March 2005 for the other
tenant.

In January 2005 and in March 2005, the Company leased 28,801 square feet and
15,000 square feet, respectively, for office use to two tenants at the
Company's Jowein building in Brooklyn, New York. This space was a portion of
the space previously leased to the City of New York Department of Finance,
which vacated the premises in June 2004. Rent commenced in May 2005 for one
tenant and is anticipated to commence in October 2005 for the other tenant.
In February 2005, the Company also leased 4,320 square feet to an existing
tenant at its 9 Bond Street building in Brooklyn, New York. Rent commenced in
April 2005.

The first mortgage loan balance on the Fishkill, New York property matured on
July 1, 2004, with a balloon payment due of $1,856,852. The Company on August
19, 2004, extended this mortgage with the bank. (See Note 6(e) to the
Consolidated Financial Statements).

The Company, on August 19, 2004, closed a loan with a bank for a $12,000,000
multiple draw term loan. This loan finances seventy-five (75%) percent of the
cost of capital improvements for an existing lease to a tenant and capital
improvements to future tenant leases at the Company's Brooklyn, New York (Bond
Street building) and Fishkill, New York properties. The loan also refinances
the existing mortgage on the Company's Fishkill, New York property which
matured on July 1, 2004 (see Note 6(e) to the Consolidated Financial
Statements). The Company will have three and one-half years to draw down
amounts under this loan. The loan consists of: a) a permanent, first
mortgage loan to refinance an existing first mortgage loan affecting the
Fishkill Property (the 'First Permanent Loan') (see Note 6(e) to the
Consolidated Financial Statements); b) a permanent subordinate mortgage loan
in the amount of $1,870,000 (the 'Second Permanent Loan'); and c) multiple,
successively subordinate building loans in the amount of $8,295,274
('Subordinate Building Loans'). The loan is structured in two phases: 1) a
forty-two month loan with payments of interest only at the floating one month
LIBOR rate plus 2.25% per annum, but not less than 3.40%; and 2) after the
forty-two month period, the loan would convert to a seven-year (7) permanent
mortgage loan on a seventeen (17) year level amortization, plus interest, at
the option of the Company. The interest rate on the permanent loan would be
at a fixed rate equal to the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York's seven-year
(7) fixed interest rate plus 2.25% per annum. As of August 19, 2004, the
Company refinanced the existing mortgage on the Company's Fishkill, New York
property, which balance was $1,834,726 and took down an additional $2,820,000
for capital improvements for two tenants at the Company's Bond Street building
in Brooklyn, New York. The outstanding balance as of April 30, 2005 was
$4,654,726.

The Company on October 1, 2004 purchased a one-quarter interest in a parcel,
which is part of its Brooklyn, New York properties. The parcel was leased to
the Company. The purchase price was $750,000.

The Company on November 4, 2004 purchased a one-third interest in a parcel,
which is part of its Brooklyn, New York properties. The parcel was leased to
the Company. The purchase price was $940,000.

-12-

The Company on December 17, 2004 purchased a one-half interest in a parcel
which is part of its Brooklyn, New York properties. The parcel was leased to
the Company. The purchase price was $1,500,000.

The Company on August 23, 2004 paid the total amount due on the loan to a
securities broker, which was $1,423,458. In December 2004, the Company
borrowed an additional $655,000 on this loan (see Note 8 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements).

On December 15, 2004, the Company borrowed $1,000,000 from a director of the
Company, who is also a greater than 10% beneficial owner of the outstanding
common stock of the Company. The term of the loan is for a period of three
(3) years maturing on December 15, 2007, at an interest rate of 7.50% per
annum. The funds were used towards the purchase of a one-half interest in a
parcel which is part of the Company's Brooklyn, New York properties. The
total purchase price was $1,500,000 (see Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements).

The tenant at the Company's Levittown, New York property, whose lease expired
September 30, 2004, did not renew the lease and vacated the premises. The
annual loss in rental income from this tenant is approximately $350,000. The
Company is actively seeking, through brokers, tenants to occupy the vacated
space.

On February 18, 2005, the Company secured financing in the amount of
$1,700,000, from a bank whose president is a director of the Company. The
loan will be used to finance the construction costs and brokerage commissions
associated with the leasing of 28,801 square feet for office use to a tenant
at the Company's Jowein building, in Brooklyn, New York. The loan will be a
multiple draw demand loan, for a period of five (5) years, and is self-
amortizing, at an interest rate of 6.50% per annum. As of April 30, 2005, the
Company drew down the $1,700,000.

On May 19, 2005, the Company secured financing in the amount of $1,200,000
from a bank. The loan will be used to finance the construction costs and
brokerage commissions associated with the leasing of 15,000 square feet for
office use to a tenant at the Company's Jowein building in Brooklyn, New York.
The loan will be a multiple draw loan, secured by the assignment of lease of
15,000 square feet. The loan is for a period of five (5) years, and is self-
amortizing, at an interest rate of prime plus 1.00% per annum floating.

-13-

Cash Flows From Financing Activities:

Borrowing: Mortgage - The Company secured financing from one of the
Company's directors in the principal amount of $1,000,000. (See Note 9 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements). The funds were used towards the purchase
of a one-half interest in a parcel which is part of the Company's Brooklyn,
New York properties. The total purchase price was $1,500,000.

The Company also secured financing from a bank in the principal amount of
$2,820,000 (See Note 6(f) to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

The Company secured financing in the amount of $1,700,000, from a bank whose

due to the leasing of space from tenants, three at the Company's Brooklyn, New
York properties, and one at its building in Jamaica, New York.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks:

The Company uses both fixed-rate and variable-rate debt to finance its capital
requirements. These transactions expose the Company to market risk related to
changes in interest rates. The Company does not use derivative financial
instruments. At April 30, 2005, the Company had fixed-rate debt of $8,804,434
and variable-rate debt of $5,299,628. Because of the extension of the
Fishkill, New York property loan and the Bond Street building, Brooklyn, New
York loan (presently with balances of $1,834,726 and $2,820,000,
respectively), if interest rates were to increase 100 basis points, the effect
to net income from operations and future cash flows would be a decrease of
$46,547 and if it were to decrease 100 basis points, the effect would be an
increase of $46,547 for these loans. In connection with the loan payable to
securities broker in the amount of $644,902, if interest rates were to
increase 100 basis points, the effect to net income from operations and future
cash flows would be a decrease of $6,449 and if it were to decrease 100 basis
points, the effect would be an increase of $6,449 for this loan.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements:

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may contain forward-looking statements
which include assumptions about future market conditions, operations and
financial results. These statements are based on current expectations and are
subject to risks and uncertainties. They are made pursuant to safe harbor
provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The
Company's actual results, performance or achievements in the future could
differ significantly from the results, performance or achievements discussed
or implied in such forward-looking statements herein and in prior Securities
and Exchange Commission filings by the Company. The Company assumes no
obligation to update these forward-looking statements or to advise of changes
in the assumptions on which they were based.

Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are
not limited to, changes in the competitive environment of the Company, general
economic and business conditions, industry trends, changes in government rules
and regulations and environmental rules and regulations. Statements concerning
interest rates and other financial instrument fair values and their estimated
contribution to the Company's future results of operations are based upon
market information as of a specific date. This market information is often a
function of significant judgment and estimation. Further, market interest
rates are subject to significant volatility.

Controls and Procedures:

The Company's management reviewed the Company's internal controls and
procedures and the effectiveness of these controls. As of April 30, 2005, the
Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the
participation of the Company's management, including its Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and
operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to
Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based
upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective
in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company
required to be included in its periodic SEC filings.

There was no change in the Company's internal controls over financial
reporting or in other factors during the Company's last fiscal quarter that
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the
Company's internal controls over financial reporting. There were no
significant deficiencies or material weaknesses, and therefore there were no
corrective actions taken.

Our Accounting Department is comprised of four persons. Due to such a limited
number of persons, a complete segregation of all of the duties as to which the
department is responsible is not possible. In order to make sure that the
inability to segregate all duties does not affect our timely and accurate
financial reporting, we need to remain vigilant in maintaining compensating
controls. These compensating controls will continue to be monitored in order
to assure us that our internal controls over financial reporting remain at a
high level despite the limited number of accounting department personnel.
