THE COMPANY

     J.W. Mays, Inc. was founded in 1924 and incorporated under the laws of the State of New York on July 6, 1927.

     The Company operates a number of commercial real estate properties located in Brooklyn and Jamaica in New York City, in Levittown and Massapequa, Long Island, New York, in Fishkill, Dutchess County, New York and in Circleville, Ohio. The major portion of these properties is owned and the balance is leased. A substantial percentage of these properties are leased to tenants while the remainder is available for lease.

     More comprehensive information concerning the Company appears in its Form 10-K Annual Report for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2014.

TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS:

     The financial condition of our Company continued to be positive during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2014 with profits earned in three of the four quarters during this period.

     In fiscal 2014, our revenues from operations were $17,081,430 compared to $15,891,823 in the 2013 fiscal year. Net income for fiscal 2014 was $739,323, or $.37 per share. This compares to net income of $663,671, or $.33 per share for fiscal 2013.

     Although the Company had two retail tenants vacate the Jamaica building in Jamaica, New York in October 2013 and February 2014, respectively, the Company was able to lease the vacated space in November 2013 and March 2014, respectively. The rental income received from these tenants will be greater than the rental income from the previous tenants. The Company also entered into a lease agreement for previously vacant space with an office tenant at its Nine Bond Street building in Brooklyn, New York. The rental for this tenant commenced in March 2014. In October 2013, the Company leased 99,992 square feet to a retail tenant at its previously vacant Fishkill, New York property. These new leases and increased rentals from existing tenants should increase our revenues from operations in the future.

     Our emphasis on pursuing and obtaining government agencies, educational institutions and prospective corporate and retail tenants in the last several years has helped us increase rental income and net income and, to a great extent, we have been able to retain these tenants over a long period of time.

     I believe our Company is well-positioned to continue its positive operational performance. I specifically want to thank the Mays’ personnel and our Board colleagues for their ongoing commitment and support, our shareholders for their continuing belief in our Company and its future and our tenants for their loyalty to our Company.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Consolidation

     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, a New York corporation and its subsidiaries (J. W. M. Realty Corp. and Dutchess Mall Sewage Plant, Inc.), which are wholly-owned. Material intercompany items have been eliminated in consolidation.

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 and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The estimates that we make include allowance for doubtful accounts, depreciation and amortization, income tax assets and liabilities, fair value of marketable securities, revenue recognition and accrued expenses. Estimates are based on historical experience where applicable or other assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results may differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Rental Income

     All of the real estate owned by the Company is held for leasing to tenants except for a small portion used for Company offices. Rent is recognized from tenants under executed leases no later than on an established date or on an earlier date if the tenant should commence conducting business. 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 the lease. Contingent rental income is recorded when earned and is not based on tenant revenue. The effect of lease modifications that result in rent relief or other credits to tenants, including any retroactive effects relating to prior periods, is recognized in the period when the lease modification is signed. At the time of the lease modification, we assess the realizability of any accrued but unpaid rent and amounts that had been recognized as revenue in prior periods. If the amounts are not determined to be realizable, the accrued but unpaid rent is written off.

     Based upon its periodic assessment of the quality of the receivables, management, using its historical knowledge of the tenants and industry experience, determines whether a reserve or write-off is required. Management has determined that no allowance for uncollected receivables is considered necessary. The Company uses specific identification to write-off receivables to bad debt expense in the period when issues of collectability become known. Collectability issues include circumstances when a tenant indicates their intention to vacate the property without paying, or when tenant litigation or bankruptcy proceedings are not expected to result in full payment. Due to the early termination of two leases and the modification without extension of a third lease, the Company recorded a bad debt expense of $66,265 for the year ended July 31, 2014, $324,536 for the year ended July 31, 2013, and $5,103 for the year ended July 31, 2012.

Property and Equipment

     Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method and the declining-balance method. Amortization of improvements to leased property is calculated over the shorter of the life of the lease or the estimated useful life of the improvements. Lives used to determine depreciation and amortization are generally as follows:

Buildings and improvements 18-40 years
Improvements to leased property 3-40 years
Fixtures and equipment 7-12 years
Other 3-5 years

Table of Contents

     Maintenance, repairs, renewals and improvements of a non-permanent nature are charged to expense when incurred. Expenditures for additions and major renewals or improvements are capitalized along with the associated interest cost during construction. The cost of assets sold or retired and the accumulated depreciation or amortization thereon are eliminated from the respective accounts in the year of disposal, and the resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to income. Capitalized interest is recorded as part of the asset to which it relates and is amortized over the asset’s estimated useful life.

     The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever circumstances and situations change such that there is an indication that the carrying amounts may not be recovered. At July 31, 2014 and 2013, there were no impairments of its property and equipment.

Deferred Charges

     Deferred charges consist principally of costs incurred in connection with the leasing of property to tenants. Such costs are amortized over the related lease periods, ranging from 1 to 21 years, using the straight-line method. If a lease is terminated early, such costs are expensed.

Income Taxes

     Deferred income taxes are provided for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets result principally from the recording of certain accruals and reserves which currently are not deductible for tax purposes. Deferred tax liabilities result principally from temporary differences in the recognition of gains and losses from certain investments and from the use, for tax purposes, of accelerated depreciation.

Income Per Share of Common Stock

     Income per share has been computed by dividing net income for the year by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year, adjusted for the purchase of treasury stock. Shares used in computing income per share were 2,015,780 in fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012.

Marketable Securities

     The Company categorizes marketable securities as either trading, available-for-sale or held-to-maturity at the time of purchase. Trading securities are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in income. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value measurements using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (which is considered a Level 1 valuation) 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. Realized gains and losses are determined on a specific identification basis. The Company reviews marketable securities for impairment whenever circumstances and situations change such that there is an indication that the carrying amounts may not be recovered. The Company did not classify any securities as trading during the three years ended July 31, 2014.

     The Company adopted Accounting Standards Certification (ASC) 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” in 2011. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the valuation techniques and creates the following three broad levels, with Level 1 valuation being the highest priority:

Level 1 valuation inputs are quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date (e.g., equity securities traded on the New York Stock Exchange).

Level 2 valuation inputs are from other than quoted market prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly (e.g., quoted market prices of similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or quoted market prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active).

Level 3 valuation inputs are unobservable (e.g., an entity’s own data) and should be used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available.

     Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis. There have been no changes in the methodologies used at July 31, 2014 and 2013.

Equity securities are valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded that the Company has access to.

Mutual funds are valued at the daily closing price as reported by the fund. Mutual funds held by the Company are open-end mutual funds that are registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. These funds are required to publish their daily net asset value (“NAV”) and to transact at that price. The mutual funds held by the Company are deemed to be actively traded.

     In accordance with the provisions of Fair Value Measurements, the following are the Company’s financial assets measured on a recurring basis presented at fair value.

Recently Issued Accounting Literature

     In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Update No. 2011-09, Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Disclosures About an Employer’s Participation in a Multiemployer Plan. This standard requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s participation in multiemployer plans that offer pension and other postretirement benefits and became effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2011. Other than the additional disclosure requirements, the adoption of this standard for the year ended July 31, 2012 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

     In February 2013, the FASB amended the disclosure requirements regarding the reporting of amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The amendment does not change the current requirement for reporting net income or other comprehensive income, but requires additional disclosures about items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income, and the consolidated statement of income and retained earnings line items impacted by the reclassifications. We adopted this standard effective August 1, 2013 and have presented the disclosures in comparative form. Other than the additional disclosure requirements, the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. The effect of applying this standard is reflected in Note 14.

     In April 2014, the FASB issued an update (“ASU 2014-08”) Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity to ASC Topic 205, Presentation of Financial Statements and ASC Topic 360, Property Plant and Equipment. Under ASU 2014-08, only disposals that represent a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on the entity’s results and operations would qualify as discontinued operations. In addition, ASU 2014-08 expands the disclosure requirements for disposals that meet the definition of a discontinued operation and requires entities to disclose information about disposals of individually significant components that do not meet the definition of discontinued operations. ASU 2014-08 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2014. The adoption of this update on August 1, 2015 is not expected to have any impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

     In May 2014, the FASB issued an update (“ASU 2014-09”) establishing ASC Topic 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most of the existing revenue recognition guidance. ASU 2014-09 requires an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services and also requires certain additional disclosures. ASU 2014-09 is effective for interim and annual reporting in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2016. The adoption of the update on August 1, 2017 is not expected to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

     The Company, on August 19, 2004, closed a loan with a bank for a $12,000,000 multiple draw term loan. The loan consists of: a) a permanent, first mortgage loan to refinance an existing first mortgage loan affecting the Fishkill, New York property, which matured on July 1, 2004 (the “First Permanent Loan”), 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 Company, in February 2008, converted the loan totaling $12,000,000 to a seven (7) year permanent mortgage loan. The interest rate on conversion was 6.98%. The outstanding balance of the loan totaling $5,318,490 will become due and payable on February 18, 2015. At this time, the Company is in the process of refinancing this mortgage with the current lender for an expected term of five (5) years.

     Estimated maturities of long-term debt-mortgages and term loan payable outstanding at July 31, 2014 are as follows: Years ending July 31, 2015 (included in current liabilities): $240,000; 2016: $240,000; 2017: $240,000; 2018: $240,000; 2019: $240,000 and thereafter, $4,221,335.

     The carrying value of all properties collateralizing the above debt is $25,447,800 at July 31, 2014.

4. INCOME TAXES:

     Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities as of July 31, 2014 and 2013 are a result of temporary differences related to the items described as follows:

2014 2013
Deferred         Deferred         Deferred         Deferred
Tax Assets Tax Liabilities Tax Assets Tax Liabilities
Rental income received in advance $ 199,413 $ $ 222,408   $
Unbilled receivables   1,149,512 976,652
Property and equipment 2,964,078 2,557,262
Deferred revenue   946,033  
Unrealized gain on marketable securities   106,291 150,001
Other 418,376   453,536
$ 1,563,822 $ 4,219,881 $ 675,944 $ 3,683,915

     The Company has determined, based on its history of operating earnings and expectations for the future, that it is more likely than not that future taxable income will be sufficient to fully utilize the deferred tax assets at July 31, 2014 and 2013.

     Income taxes provided for the years ended July 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 consist of the following:

        2014        2013         2012
Current:
       Federal $ 501,667 $ 30,642 $ 362,463
       State and City 348,333   202,358   291,537
Deferred taxes:      
       Federal (187,000 )   267,000 408,000
       State and City (122,000 ) 18,000 469,000
Total provision $ 541,000 $ 518,000 $ 1,531,000

Components of the deferred tax provision (benefit) for the years ended July 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 consist of the following:

2014         2013         2012
Tax depreciation exceeding book depreciation         $ 406,019 $ 380,598 $ 695,771
Decrease (increase) of rental income  
       received in advance   22,995 (39,528 )   (106,944 )
Increase (decrease) in unbilled receivables 172,860   (19,005 ) 449,617
Deferred revenue (946,033 )  
Other 35,159 (37,065 ) (161,444 )
$ (309,000 ) $ 285,000 $ 877,000

     For the year ended July 31, 2012, deferred tax expense was $877,000, of which $469,000 was due to a change in the expected calculation of New York State and New York City taxes. Historically, the Company has calculated the aforementioned taxes based on capital; as such, the taxes were considered franchise taxes and were not included when calculating deferred taxes. Effective April 30, 2012, management assumed future taxes for New York State and New York City will be calculated based on income. This change in management’s assumption relating to operating income in future periods for state and city deferred tax calculation increased the deferred tax asset, deferred tax liability, and deferred taxes on unrealized gain on available-for-sale securities by $145,000, $641,000, and $27,000, respectively, at July 31, 2012, with the charge to deferred tax expense for $469,000.

Table of Contents

     Taxes provided for the years ended July 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 differ from amounts which would result from applying the federal statutory tax rate to pre-tax income, as follows:

        2014         2013         2012
Income before income taxes $ 1,280,323 $ 1,181,671 $ 2,801,353  
Dividends received deduction (8,205 ) (12,590 ) (7,992 )
Other-net 10,124 10,567   8,023

Statutory rate 34 % 34 % 34 %
Income tax provision at statutory rate $ 433,100 $ 366,444 $ 869,586
State and City income taxes, net of federal income tax benefit 229,900   133,556 192,414
State and City deferred income taxes (122,000 ) 18,000 469,000
Income tax provision $ 541,000 $ 518,000 $ 1,531,000

     For the year ended July 31, 2014, the Company utilized a $182,841 capital loss carryforward, resulting in a current benefit of approximately $82,200.

     For the year ended July 31, 2012, the Company utilized a $121,103 federal net operating loss carryforward, resulting in a current federal benefit in the income tax provision of $41,175.

     The Company evaluates the effect of uncertain tax positions in accordance with the provisions of GAAP. The Company records interest and penalties relating to its tax returns and provisions as interest expense and administrative and general expenses, respectively.

     The Company’s federal tax returns have been audited through the year ended July 31, 2006 and the Internal Revenue Service has issued a notice of intent to audit the 2013 tax return and the New York State tax returns have been audited through July 31, 2012. New York City is in the process of auditing through July 31, 2012. Generally, tax returns filed are subject to audit for three years by the appropriate taxing jurisdictions.

     On September 13, 2013, the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service released final income tax regulations on the deduction and capitalization of expenditures related to tangible property (“tangible property regulations”). The tangible property regulations clarify and expand sections 162(a) and 263(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”), which relate to amounts paid to acquire, produce, or improve tangible property. Additionally, the tangible property regulations provide final guidance under IRC section 167 regarding accounting for and retirement of depreciable property and regulations under IRC section 168 relating to the accounting for property under the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System. The tangible property regulations affect all taxpayers that acquire, produce, or improve tangible property, and generally apply to taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2014, which will impact the fiscal year ending July 31, 2015. The tangible property regulations will require the Company to make additional tax accounting method changes as of August 1, 2014. Changes in tax law are accounted for in the period of enactment, therefore certain provisions of the legislation could impact the presentation of deferred tax assets and liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet but are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s effective tax rate. The adoption of the regulations is expected to primarily affect timing and is not likely to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

5. LEASES:

     The Company’s real estate operations encompass both owned and leased properties. The current leases on leased property, most of which have options to extend the terms, range from 7 years to 29 years. Certain of the leases provide for additional rentals under certain circumstances and obligate the Company for payments of real estate taxes and other expenses.

     Rental expense for leased real property for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended July 31, 2014 was exceeded by sublease rental income, as follows:

        2014         2013         2012
Minimum rental expense $ 1,732,220   $ 1,726,817 $ 1,752,764
Contingent rental expense   732,220 736,406 743,248
          2,464,440 2,463,223   2,496,012
Sublease rental income 5,985,195 6,161,173 6,222,388
       Excess of sublease income over expense $ 3,520,755 $ 3,697,950 $ 3,726,376

     Rent expense related to an affiliate principally owned by a director of the Company totaled $825,000 for fiscal years ended July 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012. The rent expense is derived from two leases which expire July 31, 2027 and April 30, 2031, respectively. Rent expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lives of the leases.

     Future minimum non-cancelable rental commitments for operating leases with initial or remaining terms of one year or more are payable as follows:

     The Company sponsors a non-contributory Money Purchase Plan covering substantially all of its non-union employees. Operations were charged $366,741, $350,536, and $334,152 as contributions to the Plan for fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

MULTI-EMPLOYER PLAN:

Contributions and costs are determined in accordance with the provisions of negotiated labor contracts or terms of the plans. The Company also contributes to union sponsored health benefit plans.

     Information as to the Company’s portion of accumulated plan benefits and plan assets is not reported separately by the pension plan. Under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, upon withdrawal from a multi-employer benefit plan, an employer is required to continue to pay its proportionate share of the plan’s unfunded vested benefits, if any.

9. 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.

     Supplemental disclosures:

Income taxes paid $ 720,583 $ 637,382 $ 259,061

10. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND CREDIT RISK CONCENTRATIONS:

     The following disclosure of estimated fair value was determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methods. Considerable judgment is necessary to develop estimates of fair value. The estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized upon disposition of the financial instruments.

     The Company estimates the fair value of its financial instruments using the following methods and assumptions: (i) quoted market prices, when available, are used to estimate the fair value of investments in marketable debt and equity securities; (ii) discounted cash flow analyses are used to estimate the fair value of long-term debt, using the Company’s estimate of current interest rates for similar debt; and (iii) carrying amounts in the balance sheet approximate fair value for cash and cash equivalents and tenant security deposits due to their high liquidity.

July 31, 2014
Carrying Fair
      Value       Value
Cash and cash equivalents   $ 1,892,760 $ 1,892,760
Marketable securities $ 1,354,213   $ 1,354,213
Security deposits payable $ 746,603 $ 746,603
Mortgages, note and term loan payable $ 6,421,335 $ 7,592,416

     Financial instruments that are potentially subject to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of marketable securities and cash and cash equivalents. Marketable securities and cash and cash equivalents are placed with multiple financial institutions and instruments to minimize risk. No assurance can be made that such financial institutions and instruments will minimize all such risk.

     Other assets subject to credit risk include receivables and unbilled receivables. The Company derived rental income from fifty one tenants, of which one tenant accounted for 19.16% and another tenant accounted for 15.34% of rental income during the year ended July 31, 2014. No other tenant accounted for more than 10% of rental income during the year ended July 31, 2014. Of the receivables recorded at July 31, 2014, one tenant accounted for 29.49% of the receivables due to a restructuring of the payments due on leases and one other tenant accounted for 39.48% of the receivables. Of the unbilled receivables, one tenant accounted for 26.40% and another tenant accounted for 24.19% of the balance at July 31, 2014. No other tenants accounted for 10% of billed receivables, unbilled receivables, or combined billed and unbilled receivables. Write-offs of unbilled receivables, primarily due to restructuring of leases, were $66,265 for 2014, $324,536 for 2013 and $5,103 for 2012.

     The Company has one irrevocable letter of credit totaling $230,000 at July 31, 2014 and 2013 provided by one tenant as a security deposit.

15. ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT:

     On June 16, 2014, the Company entered into a Second Amendment of Lease (the “Amendment”) with 33 Bond St. LLC (“Bond”), its landlord, for certain truck bays and approximately 1,000 square feet located at the cellar level within a garage at Livingston and Bond Street (“Premises”). Pursuant to the Amendment, (1) a lease option for the Premises was exercised extending the lease until December 8, 2043, (2) the Company, simultaneously with the execution of the Amendment, vacated the Premises so that Bond may demolish the building in which the Premises is located in order to develop and construct a new building at the location, and (3) Bond agreed to redeliver to the Company possession of the reconfigured Premises after construction.

     As consideration under the Amendment, Bond agreed to pay the Company a total of $3,500,000. Upon execution of the Amendment, the Company recorded $3,500,000 to deferred revenue to be amortized to revenue to temporarily vacate the premises over the expected vacate period of 36 months. Bond tendered $2,250,000 simultaneously with the execution of the Amendment, and the balance due of $1,250,000 on June 16, 2015 has been recorded by the Company as a receivable.

     In connection with the Amendment, the parties also agreed to settle a pending lawsuit in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, Kings County, Index No. 50796/13 (the “Action”), in which the Company sought, among other things, a declaratory judgment that it validly renewed the lease for the Premises, and Bond sought, among other things, a declaratory judgment that the lease expired by its terms on December 8, 2013. Pursuant to a stipulation of settlement, filed on June 16, 2014, the Action, including all claims and counterclaims, has been discontinued with prejudice, without costs or attorneys’ fees to any party as against the other. The stipulation of settlement also contains general releases by both parties of all claims.

16. CONTINGENCIES:

     There are various lawsuits and claims pending against the Company. It is the opinion of management that the resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

     If the Company sells, transfers, disposes of or demolishes 25 Elm Place, Brooklyn, New York, then the Company may be liable to create a condominium unit for the loading dock. The necessity of creating the condominium unit and the cost of such condominium unit cannot be determined at this time.

     Because of defective workmanship and breach of contract, the Company commenced litigation against a contractor to pay damages and return in full $376,467 of a deposit paid when work commenced to replace a roof on the Fishkill, New York building. As of July 31, 2014, this deposit is included in other assets on the balance sheet in security deposits. Based on limited information available at this time, the Company cannot predict the outcome of this matter and expects to vigorously pursue this contractor until the deposit is returned and damages are paid.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
J.W. Mays, Inc. and Subsidiaries

     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of J.W. Mays, Inc. and subsidiaries as of July 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated statements of income and retained earnings, comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the years in the three year period ended July 31, 2014. J.W. Mays, Inc. and subsidiaries management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements 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 consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, 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 J.W. Mays, Inc. and subsidiaries as of July 31, 2014 and 2013, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three year period ended July 31, 2014, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and related notes thereto contained in this report. In this discussion, the words “Company”, “we”, “our” and “us” refer to J.W. Mays, Inc. and subsidiaries.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

     The following can be interpreted as including forward-looking statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The words “outlook”, “intend”, “plans”, “efforts”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “expects” or words of similar import typically identify such statements. Various important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements are identified under the heading “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” below. Our actual results may vary significantly from the results contemplated by these forward-looking statements based on a number of factors including, but not limited to, availability of labor, marketing success, competitive conditions and the change in economic conditions of the various markets we serve.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We believe the critical accounting policies in Note 1 affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. (See Note 1 on pages 9 through 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). Newly effective accounting principles are also disclosed in Note 1. Information about our deferred tax assets is included in Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements on pages 13 and 14. Our significant intangible assets are included in deferred charges as described in Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements on pages 17 and 18.

FISCAL 2014 COMPARED TO FISCAL 2013

     Net income for the year ended July 31, 2014 amounted to $739,323, or $.37 per share, compared to net income for the year ended July 31, 2013 of $663,671, or $.33 per share.

     Revenues in the current year increased to $17,081,430 from $15,891,823 in the comparable 2013 year primarily due to the settlement of litigation with a retail tenant in the amount of $181,257 at the Company’s Nine Bond Street, Brooklyn, New York building and increased rents from the office tenants who replaced previous office tenants at the Company’s Jowein building in Brooklyn, New York and revenue from temporarily vacating a lease in the amount of $145,833.

     Real estate operating expenses in the current year increased to $9,628,631 from $8,821,467 in the comparable 2013 year primarily due to increases in real estate taxes, payroll costs and maintenance costs, partially offset by a decrease in bad debt expense in the amount of $324,536 in the comparable 2013 year. The 2014 year had a bad debt expense in the amount of $66,265 from a tenant that vacated the Massapequa, New York property in June 2014.

     Administrative and general expenses in the current year increased to $4,255,631 from $3,584,104 in the comparable 2013 year primarily due to increases in payroll costs, legal and professional costs and pension costs.

     Depreciation and amortization expense in the current year increased to $1,721,850 from $1,636,561 in the comparable 2013 year primarily due to improvements to the Nine Bond Street, Brooklyn, New York building, the Jowein building in Brooklyn, New York and the Fishkill, New York building.

     The current year had a loss on disposition of property and equipment in the amount of $4,291. The 2013 year had a loss on disposition of property and equipment in the amount of $316,021.

     Interest expense in the current year exceeded investment income by $190,704 and by $351,999 in the comparable 2013 year. The decrease in interest expense over investment income was primarily due to the gain on sale of marketable securities and interest expense reductions effected by scheduled repayments of debt.

FISCAL 2013 COMPARED TO FISCAL 2012

     Net income for the year ended July 31, 2013 amounted to $663,671, or $.33 per share, compared to net income for the year ended July 31, 2012 of $1,270,353, or $.63 per share.

Table of Contents

     Revenues in the year ended 2013 decreased to $15,891,823 from $16,530,063 in the comparable 2012 year. The decrease in revenues was primarily due to two office tenants vacating the Company’s Jowein building in Brooklyn, New York and on a retail tenant at the Company’s Nine Bond Street, Brooklyn, New York building which at the time was in litigation for eviction, partially offset by one new office tenant at the Company’s Nine Bond Street, Brooklyn, New York building and two new office tenants at the Company’s Jowein building in Brooklyn, New York.

     Real estate operating expenses in the year ended 2013 increased to $8,821,467 from $8,044,218 in the comparable 2012 year primarily due to increases in maintenance costs, real estate taxes, payroll costs, leasing commissions and a bad debt expense in the amount of $240,258 from a retail tenant at the Company’s Nine Bond Street, Brooklyn, New York building and a bad debt expense in the amount of $84,278 from a retail tenant at the Company’s Jamaica, New York building, partially offset by decreases in utility costs and licenses and permit costs.

     Administrative and general expenses in the year ended 2013 decreased to $3,584,104 from $3,614,784 in the comparable 2012 year primarily due to decreases in legal and professional costs.

     Depreciation and amortization expense in the year ended 2013 increased to $1,636,561 from $1,574,913 in the comparable 2012 year primarily due to improvements to the Nine Bond Street, Brooklyn, New York building and the Jowein building in Brooklyn, New York.

     The year ended 2013 had a loss on disposition of property and equipment in the amount of $316,021, due to renovations of office space at the Company’s Jowein building in Brooklyn, New York, compared to $4,215 in the 2012 year.

     Interest expense in the year ended 2013 exceeded investment income by $351,999 and by $490,580 in the comparable 2012 year. The decrease in the excess of interest expense over investment income was primarily due to scheduled repayments of debt.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     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 $1,892,760 at July 31, 2014.

The loss in annual rental income is $240,000 and $300,000, respectively. The tenant who occupied 28,335 square feet stayed as a tenant on a month to month rental until February 2014 and the tenant who occupied 25,954 square feet vacated the premises in October 2013. The Company in November 2013 leased the 25,954 square feet to a retail furniture store for a ten year period and in March 2014, leased with an existing retail tenant the 28,335 square feet for a fifteen year period. The rental income received from these tenants will be greater than the rental income from the previous tenants. Rent commenced in May 2014 for the retail furniture store and commenced in August 2014 for the existing retail tenant.

     In January 2013, a tenant who occupies 7,401 square feet of retail space at the Company’s Nine Bond Street, Brooklyn, New York property informed the Company that it planned to vacate the premises. Litigation to evict the tenant from the premises was settled by the Company in October 2013. Under the terms of the settlement the tenant is to pay all past rent due the Company in the amount of $181,257 and continued its occupancy under the terms of the lease agreement.

     In October 2013, a tenant at the Company’s Circleville, Ohio property extended its lease for a period of five years expiring on October 31, 2018. This tenant also increased the amount of square footage occupied from 30,000 square feet to 48,000 square feet.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:

     During fiscal 2014, the Company paid Weinstein Enterprises, Inc. (“Enterprises”) total rentals of $825,000 for leases on which two of the Company’s real estate properties are located. The Company paid the estate of a beneficial owner of greater than 10% of the outstanding common stock of the Company, interest of $50,000 on an unsecured note. In the opinion of the Company, the rentals paid to Enterprises and the interest paid to the beneficial owner are no more favorable than would be payable for comparable properties, loans, respectively, in arms-length transactions with non-affiliated parties.

We caution that a variety of factors, including but not limited to the factors described under Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2014 and the following, could cause business conditions and our results to differ materially from what is contained in forward-looking statements:

     Other factors and assumptions not identified above were also involved in the formation of these forward-looking statements and the failure of such other assumptions to be realized, as well as other factors, may also cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Most of these factors are difficult to predict accurately and are generally beyond our control. You should consider the areas of risk described above in connection with any forward-looking statements that may be made by us.

     We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You are advised, however, to consult any additional disclosures we make in proxy statements, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES:

     The Company’s management reviewed the Company’s internal controls and procedures and the effectiveness of these controls. As of July 31, 2014, 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 material weaknesses or significant deficiencies noted, and therefore there were no corrective actions taken.
