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.

J.W. MAYS, INC.

TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS:

The financial condition of our Company continued to be strong during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2017 with profits earned in each of the four quarters during this period.

In fiscal 2017, our revenues from operations were $19,549,387 compared to $18,582,854 in the 2016 fiscal year. Net income for fiscal 2017 was $1,925,539, or $.96 per share. This compares to net income of $1,517,760, or $.75 per share for fiscal 2016.

The Company was able to extend four leases with existing tenants: one at its Jowein building, one at its Nine Bond Street building in Brooklyn, New York, one at its Jamaica, New York building and one at its Levittown, New York property. The Company also leased 7,700 square feet to a medical facility at its Nine Bond Street, Brooklyn, New York building. These lease extensions and the additional tenant combined with increased rentals from existing tenants should help enable the Company to maintain consistent revenue growth from operations in the future. The Company’s revenue during fiscal years 2017 and 2016 included $1,020,833 and $1,166,667, respectively, from temporarily vacating a lease.

Our emphasis on pursuing and obtaining government agencies, health care providers and prospective corporate and retail tenants has helped us to have strong 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 continuing loyalty to our Company.

Lloyd J. Shulman
Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Organization

J.W. Mays, Inc. (the “Company” or “Registrant”) with executive offices at 9 Bond Street, Brooklyn, New York 11201, operates a number of commercial real estate properties in New York and one building in Ohio. The Company’s business was founded in 1924 and incorporated under the laws of the State of New York on July 6, 1927.

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.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash primarily consists of cash held in bank accounts for tenant security deposits and other amounts required under certain loan agreements.

Rental Income and Receivables

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. Accounts receivable are recognized in accordance with lease agreements at its net realizable value. Rental payments received in advance are deferred until earned.

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 a lease, the Company recorded a bad debt expense of $80,302 for the year ended July 31, 2017, which is included in administration and general expenses.

9

---

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:

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, 2017 and 2016, 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, reserves and net operating loss carry forward 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. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset for each jurisdiction and are presented net on the balance sheet.

The effect on deferred income taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Actual income taxes could vary from these estimates due to future changes in income tax law or results from the final review of tax returns by federal, state or city tax authorities. Financial statement effects on tax positions are recognized in the period in which it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, the position is effectively settled or when the statute of limitations to challenge the position has expired. Interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits are recorded as interest expense and administrative and general expenses, respectively.

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 2017, 2016 and 2015.

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 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 or held to maturity during the three years ended July 31, 2017.

10

---

The Company follows GAAP which 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, 2017 and 2016.

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.

The consolidated financial statements for prior years reflect certain reclassifications to conform with classifications adopted in 2017. These reclassifications have no effect on net income or loss as previously reported.

Recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted:

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“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. ASU 2015-14 extended the implementation date for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2017. The adoption of this ASU on August 1, 2018 is not expected to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Subsequent to the issuance of ASU 2014-09, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net)”, ASU No. 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing”, ASU No. 2016-12, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients”, and ASU No. 2016-20, “Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” The additional ASU’s clarified certain provisions of ASU 2014-09 in response to recommendations from the Transition Resource Group established by the FASB and have the same effective date and transition requirements as ASU 2014-09. The adoption of these updates on August 1, 2018 is not expected to have significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

---

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01 “Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” ASU 2016-01 amends certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments, including the requirement to measure certain equity investments at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. ASU No. 2016-01 will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a significant impact on our balance sheet and statement of operations.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases.” ASU 2016-02 is intended to increase transparency and comparability among organizations of accounting for leasing arrangements. This guidance establishes a right-of-use model that requires a lessee to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than twelve months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. Lessor accounting remains similar to the current model, but updated to align with certain changes to the lessee model and the new revenue recognition standard (ASU 2014-09). ASU 2016-02 offers specific accounting guidance for a lessee, a lessor and sale and leaseback transactions. Lessees and lessors are required to disclose qualitative and quantitative information about leasing arrangements to enable a user of the financial statements to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. Entities will be required to recognize and measure leases as of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The new standard will be effective for the Company for the fiscal year beginning August 1, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance is expected to result in an increase in assets and liabilities on the Company’s balance sheet, with no material impact on the statement of operations. However, the ultimate impact of adopting this ASU will depend on the Company’s lease portfolio as of the adoption date.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, “Restricted Cash”. ASU 2016-18 requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents will be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning of period and end of period balances on the statement of cash flows upon adoption of this standard. ASU 2016-18 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted.

Investment income for the years ended July 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 consists of the following:

3. LONG-TERM DEBT—MORTGAGE:

4. INCOME TAXES:

Income taxes provided for the years ended July 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 consist of the following:

Taxes provided for the years ended July 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 differ from amounts which would result from applying the federal statutory tax rate to pre-tax income, as follows:

13

---

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 provided 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. The Company implemented the tangible property regulations as of August 1, 2014 with the filing of its federal tax return due October 15, 2015.

For the year ended July 31, 2015, after implementing the tangible property regulations, the Company incurred a federal net operating loss of approximately $8,191,000. The Company was able to carryback approximately $1,582,000, generating a federal income tax refund receivable of $537,881. The remaining federal net operating loss approximating $6,580,000 and $5,446,000 as of July 31, 2016 and July 31, 2017, respectively, is available to offset future taxable income. In addition, as of July 31, 2016 and 2017, the Company had state and city net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $10,107,000 and $8,274,000, respectively, available to offset future state and city taxable income. The net operating loss carryforwards will begin to expire, if not used, in 2035.

The Company’s federal tax returns have been audited through the year ended July 31, 2013 and the New York State and New York City tax returns have been audited through July 31, 2012.

Generally, tax returns filed are subject to audit for three years by the appropriate taxing jurisdictions. The statute of limitations in each of the state jurisdictions in which the Company operates remain open until the years are settled for federal income tax purposes, at which time amended state income tax returns reflecting all federal income tax adjustments are filed. As of July 31, 2017, there were no income tax audits in progress that would have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities as of July 31, 2017 and 2016 are a result of temporary differences related to the items described as follows:

		2017								2016
		Deferred			Deferred					Deferred			Deferred
		Tax Assets			Tax Liabilities					Tax Assets			Tax Liabilities
Rental income received in advance		$	240,974			$	—			$	158,199			$	—
Net operating loss carryforward			1,851,535				—				2,235,743				—
Unbilled receivables			—				660,840				—				755,768
Property and equipment			—				7,347,278				—				6,950,048
Deferred revenue			—				—				347,083				—
Unrealized gain on marketable securities			—				189,882				—				136,184
Litigation deposit due from contractor			94,932				—				94,932				—
Other			373,559				—				389,043				—
		$	2,561,000			$	8,198,000			$	3,225,000			$	7,842,000
Net deferred tax liability						$	5,637,000							$	4,617,000

Management periodically assesses the realization of its net deferred tax assets by evaluating all available evidence, both positive and negative, associated with the Company and determining whether, based on the weight of that associated evidence, a valuation allowance for the deferred tax assets is needed. Based on this analysis, management has determined that it is more likely than not that future taxable income will be sufficient to fully utilize the federal deferred tax assets at July 31, 2017 and 2016.

New York State and New York City taxes for years through July 31, 2015 were calculated using the higher of taxes based on income or the respective capital-based franchise taxes. In April 2014, the New York State governor signed into law legislation overhauling the New York State franchise tax on corporations. The changes in the law were effective for the Company’s year ending July 31, 2016. The state capital-based tax will be phased out over a 7-year period. The Company anticipates New York State taxes will be based on capital through 2021, and New York City taxes will be based on capital for the foreseeable future. Capital based franchise taxes are recorded to administrative and general expense.

14

---

Due to the application of the capital-based tax while the net operating loss still applies, or due to the possible absence of State taxable income in the years beyond 2021 to which the State loss can be carried, the Company has not recorded the New York State or New York City tax benefit of its net operating loss carryforwards. Also, to reflect its expectation that reversal of temporary differences will not result in New York State or City tax based on income, as of July 31, 2016 the Company decreased the deferred tax asset, deferred tax liability, and deferred taxes on unrealized loss on available-for-sale securities by $380,000, $771,000 and $26,000, respectively, resulting in a State and City deferred tax benefit of $365,000.

Components of the deferred tax provision (benefit) for the years ended July 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 consist of the following:

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 4 years to 26 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, 2017 was exceeded by sublease rental income, as follows:

Rent expense related to an affiliate principally owned by a director of the Company totaled $987,250 for fiscal year ended July 31, 2017, $836,813 for fiscal year ended 2016 and $825,000 for fiscal year ended 2015. 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:

*

Minimum payments have not been reduced by minimum sublease rentals of $34,770,374 under operating leases due in the future under non-cancelable leases.

6. RENTAL INCOME:

Rental income for each of the fiscal years 2017, 2016 and 2015 is as follows:

Future minimum non-cancelable rental income for leases with initial or remaining terms of one year or more is as follows:

Rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lives of the leases.

7. PAYROLL AND OTHER ACCRUED LIABILITIES:

Payroll and other accrued liabilities for the fiscal years ended July 31, 2017 and 2016 consist of the following:

8. EMPLOYEES’ RETIREMENT PLANS:

The Company sponsors a non-contributory Money Purchase Plan covering substantially all of its non-union employees. Operations were charged $399,651, $391,962, and $385,083, as contributions to the Plan for fiscal years 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

16

---

MULTI-EMPLOYER PLAN:

The Company contributes to a union sponsored multi-employer pension plan covering its union employees. The Company contributions to the pension plan for the years ended July 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 were $56,880, $53,405, and $45,782, respectively. 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. Any liability under this provision cannot be determined: however, the Company has not made a decision to withdraw from the plan.

Information for contributing employer’s participation in the multi-employer plan:

For the plan years 2017-2019, under the pension fund’s rehabilitation plan, the Company agreed to pay a minimum contribution rate equal to 9.1% of the prior year total contribution rate. The Company has 30 employees and has a contract, expiring November 30, 2019, with a union covering rates of pay, hours of employment and other conditions of employment for approximately 23% of its employees. The Company considers that its labor relations with its employees and union are good.

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:

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.

17

---

Financial instruments that are potentially subject to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of marketable securities, restricted cash, and cash and cash equivalents. Marketable securities, restricted cash, 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.

The Company derived rental income from approximately fifty tenants during the years ended July 31, 2017 and the preceding two fiscal years.

As of July 31, 2017 three tenants accounted for approximately 66.7% of receivables and three tenants accounted for 71.6% of unbilled receivables. As of July 31, 2016 four tenants accounted for 68.0% of receivables and three tenants accounted for 71.6% of unbilled receivables. During the years ended July 31, 2017 three tenants accounted for 44.0% of total rental revenue and for the years ended July 31, 2016 and 2015 two tenants accounts for 34.7% and 33.1% of total rental revenue, respectively.

The Company has one irrevocable letter of credit totaling $230,000 at July 31, 2017 and 2016 provided by one tenant as a security deposit.

11. DEFERRED CHARGES:

Deferred charges for the fiscal years ended July 31, 2017 and 2016 consist of the following:

		July 31, 2017						July 31, 2016
		Gross						Gross
		Carrying			Accumulated			Carrying			Accumulated
		Amount			Amortization			Amount			Amortization
Leasing brokerage commissions		$	3,059,615		$	1,089,934		$	2,942,583		$	1,134,929

Total		$	3,465,062		$	1,384,142		$	3,348,031		$	1,404,267

The aggregate amortization expense for the three years in the period ended July 31, 2017 was $279,875, $315,779, and $331,700, respectively.

The weighted average life of current year additions to deferred charges was 5 years.

The estimated aggregate amortization expense for each of the five succeeding fiscal years is as follows:

12. CAPITALIZATION:

The Company is capitalized entirely through common stock with identical voting rights and rights to liquidation. Treasury stock is recorded at cost and consists of 162,517 shares at July 31, 2017 and at July 31, 2016.

13. NOTE PAYABLE:

On December 15, 2004, the Company borrowed $1,000,000 on an unsecured basis from a former director of the Company, who at the time was also a greater than 10% beneficial owner of the outstanding common stock of the Company. The former director passed away in November 2012 and the interest payments pursuant to the note were assigned to a trust provided for by the will of the deceased director. The constant quarterly payment of interest was $12,500 at an interest rate of 5% per annum. The Company paid this loan in full upon its maturity date of December 15, 2016. The interest paid for the year ended July 31, 2017 was $18,750 and for the years ended July 31, 2016 and 2015 it was $50,000 each year.

14. ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME:

The only component of accumulated other comprehensive income is unrealized gains (losses) on available-for-sale securities.

A summary of the changes in accumulated other comprehensive income for the fiscal years ended July 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015 is as follows:

		Years Ended July 31,
		2017				2016				2015

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.

19

---

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 had been received by the Company. The Company anticipates re-occupying the premises in late 2017.

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:

Due to defective workmanship and breach of contract, the Company continues to pursue damages and return in full of a $376,467 deposit paid a contractor when construction commenced to replace a roof and various other work on the Fishkill, New York building. Both the contractor and subcontractors have claimed the Company tortuously interfered with the construction contracts arguing for fees and costs which approximate $700,000. While the Company strongly disputes the claims, it is possible that the court may rule against the Company and may assess damages in amounts up to approximately $700,000. It is also possible that the court may rule in favor of the Company and that no damages would be awarded against the Company and the Company could obtain an order for the return of all or a portion of amounts previously paid. A charge to real estate operating expenses in the amount of $279,213 was recorded for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2016. Following initial court decisions, another $141,132 was charged to operating expenses on October 31, 2016 and this amount was ordered by the Court to be paid, plus interest, in a judgement dated September 14, 2017. The testimony phase of the trial has been completed and the parties await further decisions and orders of the court.

There are various other 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.

REPORT OF MANAGEMENT

Management is responsible for the preparation and reliability of the financial statements and the other financial information in this Annual Report. Management has established systems of internal control over financial reporting designed to provide reasonable assurance that the financial records used for preparing financial statements are reliable and reflect the transactions of the Company and that established policies and procedures are carefully followed. The Company reviews, modifies and improves its system of internal controls in response to changes in operations.

The Board of Directors, acting through the Audit Committee, which is comprised solely of independent directors who are not employees of the Company, oversees the financial reporting process. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting standards generally accepted in the United States of America and include amounts based on judgments and estimates made by management. Actual results could differ from estimated amounts.

To ensure complete independence, D’Arcangelo & Co., LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm, has full and free access to meet with the Audit Committee, without management representatives present, to discuss results of the audit, the adequacy of internal controls and the quality of financial reporting.

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, 2017 and 2016, 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, 2017. 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 consolidated financial position of J.W. Mays, Inc. and subsidiaries as of July 31, 2017 and 2016, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three year period ended July 31, 2017, 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

Critical accounting policies are defined as those most important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results and require the most difficult, subjective or complex judgments. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, the reported amount of revenues, and expenses during the reporting period 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. Estimates are based on historical experience, where applicable or other assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. We have identified the policies described below as our critical accounting policies. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. (See Note 1 on pages 9 through 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). Newly effective accounting principles and recently issued accounting principles not yet adopted are also disclosed in Note 1.

Revenue recognition

Substantially all of our revenue is recognized pursuant to the terms of long-term leases which usually range from 5 years to 20 years. Most of the leases provide for increases in fixed monthly rental income over the term of the lease. Accounting principles require us to recognize the rental income on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease; therefore during the first half of the lease period we recognize more rental income than is received from the tenant pursuant to the terms of the lease. The difference between the rental income recorded in the financial statements and the amounts due under the terms of the lease is recorded as unbilled receivables in the consolidated balance sheets. During the second half of the lease period, we recognize less rental income than is received from the tenant pursuant to the terms of the lease thereby reducing the amount of unbilled receivables. Modifications are sometimes made to the leases during the lease term which would affect the rental income recorded.

Receivables

Receivables, both billed and unbilled, are reviewed monthly for collectability. Management, based on available information, will make a decision as to whether the receivable is collectable. If circumstances indicate that a tenant will not be able to fulfill the terms of the lease, the unbilled receivable will be written off and revenue will be recorded as received.

Property and equipment

Property and equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated over the asset’s useful life. Significant improvements to the property are capitalized and the costs of improvements no longer in use are written off. Management reviews the value of the properties for significant decreases in valuation. If any significant decreases in valuation are noted, the adjustment is recorded in the financial statements.

24

---

Deferred charges

In connection with obtaining new tenants and leases, we incur costs including brokerage commissions and legal fees. These costs are written off over the term of the lease on the straight-line basis. Should a tenant vacate prior to the expiration of the lease, the unamortized cost is written off at that time.

Income taxes

Our income tax expense takes into effect taxes that are currently payable based on our income tax returns filed and taxes that will be payable in the future based on income earned in the current year that is not taxable until future events occur offset by expenses incurred in the current year that are not deductible until future events occur. Tax audits increase or decrease the amounts currently payable based on the results of the audits. The tax provision is an estimate and can change at any time due to changes in tax laws and tax rates.

Marketable securities

We invest in mutual funds with our extra available cash. The mutual funds are valued daily by the funds based on the assets included within the funds. Our mutual fund investments are recorded in the consolidated financial statements at the daily value established by the mutual funds and we can liquidate our investments at any time. Our investments in corporate equity securities are valued at prices established on the various stock exchanges. We can liquidate these investments at any time. Our investment valuations are subject to market fluctuations and can substantially change in value at any time.

FISCAL 2017 COMPARED TO FISCAL 2016

Net income for the year ended July 31, 2017 amounted to $1,925,539, or $.96 per share, compared to net income for the year ended July 31, 2016 of $1,517,760, or $.75 per share.

Revenues in the current year increased to $19,549,387 from $18,582,854 in the comparable 2016 year primarily due to one new office tenant, at the Jowein building in Brooklyn, New York and increased rent from existing tenants, partially offset by a decrease in revenue from the temporary vacating of a lease.

Real estate operating expenses in the current year increased to $10,212,761 from $10,080,913 in the comparable 2016 year primarily due to increases in real estate taxes, utility costs, payroll costs, a charge for litigation against a contractor in the amount of $141,132 (see Note 16) and license and permits costs, partially offset by decreases in maintenance costs.

Administrative and general expenses in the current year increased to $4,616,086 from $4,333,589 in the comparable 2016 year primarily due to increases in a bad debt write off of $80,302 from a tenant who vacated the Nine Bond Street building in July 2017, payroll costs, medical costs, directors fees and legal and professional costs, partially offset by a decrease in New York State and New York City capital based franchise taxes.

Depreciation and amortization expense in the current year increased to $1,682,690 from $1,635,660 in the comparable 2016 year primarily due to improvements on the Jowein, Brooklyn, New York building.

There was a $500 gain on disposition of property and equipment in the year ended July 31, 2016 versus zero in the comparable period in 2017.

Interest expense in the current year exceeded investment income by $131,311 and by $219,432 in the comparable 2016 year. The decrease is primarily due to a gain on sale of marketable securities in the 2017 year whereas the 2016 year had a loss on the sale of securities.

FISCAL 2016 COMPARED TO FISCAL 2015

Net income for the year ended July 31, 2016 amounted to $1,517,760, or $.75 per share, compared to net income for the year ended July 31, 2015 of $2,208,682, or $1.10 per share.

Revenues in the year ended 2016 decreased to $18,582,854 from $18,909,777 in the comparable 2015 year primarily due to non-payment of rent from a retail tenant, at the Nine Bond Street building in Brooklyn, New York, who vacated the building in December 2015, partially offset by a new office tenant at the same building and increased rent from existing tenants.

25

---

Real estate operating expenses in the year ended 2016 increased to $10,080,913 from $9,658,282 in the comparable 2015 year primarily due to increases in real estate taxes, maintenance costs, payroll costs and a charge for litigation against a contractor in the amount of $279,213 (see Note 16), partially offset by decreases in utility costs and licenses and permits.

Administrative and general expenses in the year ended 2016 increased to $4,333,589 from $4,311,456 in the comparable 2015 year primarily due to increases in New York State and New York City capital based franchise taxes, partially offset by a decrease in legal and professional costs.

Depreciation and amortization expense in the year ended 2016 decreased to $1,635,660 from $1,695,454 in the comparable 2015 year primarily due to expiring depreciation on the Fishkill, New York building.

There was a $500 gain on disposition of property and equipment in the year ended July 31, 2016 versus a loss of $27,648 in the comparable period in 2015.

Interest expense in the year ended 2016 exceeded investment income by $219,432 and by $295,255 in the comparable 2015 year. The decrease was due to a lower interest expense from a more favorable interest rate on the refinanced mortgage with a bank in the 2015 year and lower capitalized interest expense, partially offset by a loss on the sale of securities in the 2016 year.

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 $5,381,195 at July 31, 2017.

In May 2015, the Company entered into a 20 year lease agreement with a new tenant (cancellation clause after the 10th year) to occupy 17,425 square feet of office space at the Jowein building in Brooklyn, New York.

In February 2017, a tenant who occupies 41,385 square feet of office space at the Company’s Jowein building in Brooklyn, New York surrendered 10,569 square feet and extended the lease for the remaining 30,816 square feet from May 31, 2019 until May 31, 2020. The 10,569 square feet surrendered was leased to a new tenant in February 2017 for a period of five years.

In March 2017, the Company leased 7,700 square feet to a medical facility at its Nine Bond Street, Brooklyn, New York building, for a term of ten years with two five year option periods. To accommodate this tenant, an existing tenant surrendered 400 square feet of retail space. The cost of renovations for this tenant will be approximately $400,000 and brokerage commissions were $216,052. The tenant is anticipated to take occupancy and commence payment of rent in January 2018.

On April 4, 2017, a tenant in our Nine Bond Street building in Brooklyn, New York filed for Chapter 11 protection. This tenant accounted for 2.33% of our annual net rental income for the year ended July 31, 2016. The tenant vacated the premises in July 2017. The annual loss in rental income will be $442,000.

A tenant who occupies 99,992 square feet of retail space at the Company’s Fishkill, New York building planned to vacate the space but in May 2017 an agreement was reached where the tenant will continue occupancy.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS:

This section, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, other sections of the Annual Report on Form 10-K and this Annual Report to Shareholders 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, or 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 described under Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2017 and the following, 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;
●	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.

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, 2017, 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.
