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, 2015 condensed consolidated 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, 2015. 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, 2016. 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 and future periods, 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. 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. The Company implemented the tangible property regulations as of August 1, 2014. For the year ended July 31, 2015, after implementing the tangible property regulations, the Company incurred a federal net operating loss of approximately $8,191,403. The Company was able to carryback approximately $1,582,003, generating a federal income tax refund receivable of $537,881. The remainder of the federal net operating loss approximating $6,609,000 will be available to offset future taxable income. In addition, as of July 31, 2015 the Company had state and city net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $9,000,000 available to offset future state and city taxable income. The net operating loss carryforwards will expire, if not used, in 2035. New York State and New York City taxes for years through July 31, 2015 are 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 will be effective for the Company’s year ending July 31, 2016. The state capital-based tax will be phased out over a 7-year period. As of July, 2015, the Company anticipates New York State taxes will be based on capital through 2022, and New York City taxes will be based on capital for the foreseeable future.

-7-

	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 2022 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, 2015 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. Recent accounting pronouncements: In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2013-11, "Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Carryforward Exists.” The Company adopted ASU 2013-11 in the fourth quarter of fiscal year ended July 31, 2015. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on these consolidated financial statements. 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. ASU 2015-14 extended the implementation date for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2017. The adoption of the update on August 1, 2018 is not expected to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
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 months ended October 31, 2015 and October 31, 2014.
3.	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 or held to maturity during the three months ended October 31, 2015 and July 31, 2015.
	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).

-8-

	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 October 31, 2015 and July 31, 2015. 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 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.

4.	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-nine tenants, of which one tenant accounted for 18.81% and another tenant accounted for 15.56% of rental income during the three months ended October 31, 2015. 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 October 31, 2015 and July 31, 2015 provided by a tenant as a security deposit.
5.	Long-Term Debt – Mortgage:

The Company, on August 19, 2004, closed a loan with a bank for a $12,000,000 multiple draw term loan. The loan consisted 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 of $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%. On January 9, 2015, the Company refinanced the loan for $6,000,000, which included the outstanding balance as of January 2015 in the amount of $5,347,726 and an additional borrowing of $652,274. The loan is for a period of five years with a payment based on a twenty-five year amortization period. The interest rate for this period is fixed at 3.54% per annum. The mortgage loan is secured by the Bond Street building in Brooklyn, New York.

13.	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 received by the Company. 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.
14.	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 Condensed 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 October 31, 2015, this deposit is included in other assets on the Condensed Consolidated 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.

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 of America 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 disclose 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 and 8 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein and Note 1 on pages 9 through 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report to Shareholders for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2015).

Results of Operations:

Three months ended October 31, 2015 compared to the three months ended October 31, 2014:

In the three months ended October 31, 2015, the Company reported net income of $401,375, or $.20 per share. In the comparable three months ended October 31, 2014, the Company reported net income of $438,672, or $.22 per share.

Revenues in the current three months decreased to $4,569,061 from $4,642,649 in the comparable 2014 three months primarily due to non-payment of rent from a retail tenant at the Nine Bond Street building in Brooklyn, New York.

Real estate operating expenses in the current three months increased to $2,408,599 from $2,324,198 in the comparable 2014 three months primarily due to increases in real estate taxes and utility costs partially offset by decreases in maintenance costs.

Administrative and general expenses in the current three months increased to $1,055,982 from $983,293 in the comparable 2014 three months primarily due to New York State and New York City capital based franchise taxes of $57,000 which were included in 2015 and there were none in 2014.

Depreciation and amortization expense in the current three months decreased to $406,750 from $440,985 in the comparable 2014 three months primarily due to expiring deprecation on the Fishkill, New York building.

Interest expense exceeded investment income in the current three months by $57,355 and by $102,501 in the comparable 2014 three months. The decrease was due to a lower interest expense due to a lower interest rate on the refinanced mortgage with a bank in the 2015 year.

-16-

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 $4,507,248 at October 31, 2015.

In November 2014, the Company entered into a lease agreement with an existing tenant to occupy an additional 5,640 square feet of office space at the Jowein building in Brooklyn, New York. Rent is expected to commence in February 2016.

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. Rent is anticipated to commence in the summer of 2016. The amount of brokerage commissions and construction costs will be approximately $500,000 and $2,000,000, respectively. The construction is presently expected to be completed in the spring of 2016.

The Company has been informed by a tenant who occupies 2,000 square feet of office space at its Jamaica, New York building, that it is terminating its lease as of November 30, 2015. The loss in rental income will be $42,000 per annum. The Company is actively seeking through brokers tenants to occupy the vacated space.

The Company is in litigation with a retail tenant who occupies 7,401 square feet at its Nine Bond Street Brooklyn, New York building for non-payment of rent since June 2015. The Company has only accrued rent in the amount of the security deposit held, which is two months’ rent. The annual loss in rent would be approximately $450,000.

Cash Flows From Operating Activities:

Payroll and Other Accrued Liabilities: The Company had a balance due at October 31, 2015 for brokerage commissions of $586,339 of which $5,649 was paid in the three months ended October 31, 2015.

Cash Flows From Investing Activities:

The Company had expenditures of $37,437 for the three months ended October 31, 2015 at its Jamaica, New York building for renovations for an existing tenant. The cost of the project will be $105,859 and is expected to be completed in December 2015.

The Company had expenditures of $395,144 for the three months ended October 31, 2015, for a new office tenant at its Jowein building, in Brooklyn, New York. The cost of the project will be approximately $2,000,000 of which $890,145 has been paid. The project is anticipated to be completed in the spring of 2016. The Company also had an expenditure of $135,000 for a new roof. The total cost of the project was $135,000 and was completed in September 2015.

The Company had expenditures of $129,665 for the three months ended October 31, 2015 for construction costs at its Fishkill, New York building. The cost of the project will be approximately $232,500 and is anticipated to be completed in December 2015.

The Company had expenditures of $124,100 in the three months ended October 31, 2015 for new roofs at the Company's Nine Bond Street, Brooklyn, New York building. The cost of the project was $124,100 and was completed in September 2015.

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 the related 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.

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 any Form 8-K reports 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 October 31, 2015, the Company had fixed-rate debt of $6,900,393.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures:
