NOTES TO CONDENSED 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 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 and revenue recognition. 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.

	The interim financial statements are prepared pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q. The July 31, 2011 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, 2011. 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, 2012.

	The computation of the annual expected effective tax rate at each interim period requires certain estimates and assumptions including, but not limited to, the expected operating income for the year, projections of the proportion of income (or loss), and permanent and temporary differences. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change as new events occur, more experience is acquired, or as additional information is obtained. To the extent that the estimated annual effective tax rate changes during a quarter, the effect of the change on prior quarters is included in tax expense for the current quarter.

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 the three and six months ended January 31, 2012 and January 31, 2011.

3.	Comprehensive Income:

	“FASB” (Financial Accounting Standards Board) “ASC” (Accounting Standards Codification) 220-10, “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.

-7-


4.	Discontinued Operations:

	The Company’s lease with its landlords at the Jowein building in Brooklyn, New York expired on April 30, 2010. The Company returned the premises in “as is” condition and the Company has no obligation to correct, cure or take any action relating to repairing such premises other than the cure of certain existing violations.

	As part of the settlement the Company paid to the landlords’ successor (“490 Owner”) $1,000,000. The Company also transferred to 490 Owner title to 484 Fulton Street, Brooklyn, New York (with an appraised value of $4,490,000) subject to the existing tenancy and 490 Owner has caused title to 14 Hanover Place, Brooklyn, New York (with an appraised value of $900,000) to be transferred to the Company. The appraised values of the two buildings were based upon a review of “comparables” (other properties which are believed by the appraisers to be similar to the properties subject to the appraisals). The appraised values of the two properties were not derived from a negotiation between the parties as to the actual purchase and sale prices for such properties since no such negotiation took place. Nor were such appraised values derived using other valuation methods, such as the net present value from cash flows. Accordingly, these appraised values are merely estimated values of the properties. The exchange was accounted for under ASC Topic 805 “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets.”

	The Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Retained Earnings have been reclassified to show discontinued operations as a line item. The components are as follows:


	Three Months Ended January 31					Six Months Ended January 31

5.	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 measurements using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities 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 six months ended January 31, 2012 and January 31, 2011. The Company did not have any assets valued using Level 2 or 3 valuation methods during the six months ended January 31, 2012 and January 31, 2011.

	In accordance with the provisions of Fair Value Measurements, the following are the Company’s financial assets presented at fair value at January 31, 2012.

6.	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 multiple financial institutions and multiple instruments to minimize risk. No assurance can be made that such financial institutions and instruments will minimize all such risk.

	The Company derives rental income from forty-eight tenants, of which one tenant accounted for 23.39% and another tenant accounted for 16.44% of rental income during the six months ended January 31, 2012. No other tenant accounted for more than 10% of rental income during the same period.

	The Company has one irrevocable Letter of Credit totaling $230,000 at January 31, 2012 and July 31, 2011 provided by one tenant as a security deposit.

(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. In March 2007, the Company extended the loan for five years with an option for an additional five year period. The interest rate for the initial five years was 6.00% per annum. Interest and amortization of principal will be made in constant monthly amounts based on a fifteen year (15) payout period. The outstanding balance of the loan totaling $1,036,602 will become due and payable on April 1, 2012. The Company has decided to pay the loan in full upon maturity.

(b)	The Company, on December 13, 2000, closed a loan with a bank in the amount of $3,500,000. The loan was 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 Company paid the balance due on the loan in the amount of $2,090,493 in September 2011.

(c)	On August 19, 2004, the Company extended the then existing loan for an additional forty-two (42) months, with an option to convert the loan to a seven (7) year permanent mortgage loan. (See Note 7(d) below). The Company in February 2008 converted the loan to a seven (7) year permanent mortgage loan. The interest rate on conversion was 6.98%.

(d)	The Company, on August 19, 2004, closed a loan with a bank for a $12,000,000 multiple draw term loan. This loan financed seventy-five (75%) percent of the cost of capital improvements for an existing lease to a tenant and capital improvements for future tenant leases at the Company’s Brooklyn, New York (Bond Street building) and Fishkill, New York properties through February 2008. The loan also financed $850,000 towards the construction of two new elevators at the Company’s Brooklyn, New York property (Bond Street building). 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”)(see Note 7(c)), b) a permanent subordinate mortgage loan in the amount of $1,870,000 (the “Second

-11-

Permanent Loan”), and c) multiple, successively subordinate loans in the amount $8,295,274 (“Subordinate Building Loans”). 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. In fiscal years 2006, 2007 and 2008, the Company drew down additional amounts totaling $916,670, on its multiple draw term loan to finance tenant improvements and brokerage commissions for the leasing of 13,026 square feet for office use at the Company’s Bond Street building in Brooklyn, New York. The Company, in February 2008, converted the loan to a seven (7) year permanent mortgage loan. The interest rate on conversion was 6.98%. Since the loan has been converted to a permanent mortgage loan, the balance of the financing on this loan was for the new elevators at the Company’s Bond Street building in Brooklyn, New York in the amount of $850,000 referred to above. The $850,000 was drawn down in fiscal 2010.

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

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 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements 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 page 7 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein and Note 1 on pages 8 and 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report to Shareholders for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2011).

In the three months ended January 31, 2012, the Company reported net income of $313,745, or $.16 per share. In the comparable three months ended January 31, 2011, the Company reported a net loss of ($182,974), or ($.09) per share.

In the three months ended January 31, 2012, the Company reported net income from continuing operations of $313,745, or $.16 per share. In the comparable three months ended January 31, 2011, the Company reported a net loss from continuing operations of ($5,614), or ($.00) per share.

In the three months ended January 31, 2012, the Company did not have income (loss) from discontinued operations. In the comparable three months ended January 31, 2011, the Company reported a net loss from discontinued operations of ($177,360), or ($.09) per share.

Revenues from continuing operations in the current three months increased to $4,109,237 from $3,706,931 in the comparable 2011 three months primarily due to increased rents from existing tenants.

Real estate operating expenses from continuing operations in the current three months increased to $2,109,775 from $2,068,244 in the comparable 2011 three months primarily due to increases in real estate taxes, payroll costs and rental expense partially offset by a decrease in utilities.

-15-

Administrative and general expenses from continuing operations in the current three months decreased to $945,545 from $1,024,686 in the comparable 2011 three months primarily due to decreases in payroll costs, medical costs and bad debt expense partially offset by an increase in legal and professional costs.

Depreciation and amortization expense from continuing operations in the current three months increased to $393,337 from $390,083 in the comparable 2011 three months.

Interest expense in the current three months exceeded investment income by $122,835 and by $138,532 in the comparable 2011 three months. The decrease in the excess of interest expense over investment income was due primarily to scheduled repayments of debt.

Six months Ended January 31, 2012 Compared to the Six months Ended January 31, 2011:

In the six months ended January 31, 2012, the Company reported net income of $685,922, or $.34 per share. In the comparable six months ended January 31, 2011, the Company reported a net loss of ($8,019), or ($.01) per share.

In the six months ended January 31, 2012, the Company did not have income (loss) from discontinued operations. In the comparable six months ended January 31, 2011, the Company reported a net loss from discontinued operations of ($177,360), or ($.09) per share.

Revenues from continuing operations in the current six months increased to $8,091,774 from $7,315,221 in the comparable 2011 six months primarily due to increased rents from existing tenants.

Real estate operating expenses from continuing operations in the current six months increased to $4,124,040 from $3,932,221 in the comparable 2011 six months primarily due to increases in real estate taxes, payroll costs and rental expense.

Administrative and general expenses from continuing operations in the current six months decreased to $1,885,966 from $1,898,859 in the comparable 2011 six months primarily due to decreases in bad debt expense and medical costs partially offset by an increase in legal and professional costs.

Depreciation and amortization expense from continuing operations in the current six months decreased to $780,134 from $781,278 in the comparable 2011 six months.

Interest expense in the current six months exceeded investment income by $271,712 and by $293,522 in the comparable 2011 six months. The decrease in the excess of interest expense over investment income was due primarily to 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.

In September 2009, the Company entered into a lease agreement with a drive-in restaurant at the Company’s Massapequa premises. The drive-in restaurant will construct a new building. Rent will commence in April 2012. This will replace the tenant that vacated the premises in April 2009. The rental income from this lease agreement will more than offset the rental income lost from the previous tenant.

In October, 2010, the Company entered into a lease agreement with a tenant for 18,218 square feet for office space at the Company’s Nine Bond Street, Brooklyn, New York building. The cost of construction and brokerage

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements:

This section, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, other sections of this Report on Form 10-Q and other reports and verbal statements made by our representatives from time to time may contain forward-looking statements that are based on our assumptions, expectations and projections about us and the real estate industry. These include statements regarding our expectations about revenues, our liquidity, our expenses and our continued growth, among others. Such forward-looking statements by their nature involve a degree of risk and uncertainty. We caution that a variety of factors, including but not limited to the factors listed below, could cause business conditions and our results to differ materially from what is contained in forward-looking statements:


•	changes in the rate of economic growth in the United States;
•	the ability to obtain credit from financial institutions and at what costs;
•	changes in the financial condition of our customers;
•	changes in regulatory environment;
•	lease cancellations;
•	changes in our estimates of costs;
•	war and/or terrorist attacks on facilities where services are or may be provided;
•	outcomes of pending and future litigation;
•	increasing competition by other companies;
•	compliance with our loan covenants;
•	recoverability of claims against our customers and others by us and claims by third parties against us; and
•	changes in estimates used in our critical accounting policies.

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.

-17-

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 review 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 United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk:

The Company uses fixed-rate debt to finance its capital requirements. These transactions do not expose the Company to market risk related to changes in interest rates. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments. At January 31, 2012, the Company had fixed-rate debt of $7,875,098.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures:

The Company’s management reviewed the Company’s internal controls and procedures and the effectiveness of these controls. As of January 31, 2012, 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.
