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, 2012 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, 2012. 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, 2013.
 
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.
 
Prior to April 30, 2012, the Company historically calculated New York State and New York City taxes based on capital, as such, the taxes were considered franchise taxes and were not included when calculating deferred taxes. Currently, management expects future taxes for New York State and New York City to be calculated based on income. Due to a move from a tax based on capital to a calculation based on income, deferred tax asset, deferred tax liability, and deferred taxes on unrealized gain on available-for-sale securities includes $157,000, $633,000, and $34,000, respectively, at January 31, 2013 and $27,000 of deferred tax benefit for the six months ended January 31, 2013, related to New York State and New York City.
 
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 six months ended January 31, 2013 and January 31, 2012.

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 during the six months ended January 31, 2013 and January 31, 2012.

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

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

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

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

In accordance with the provisions of Fair Value Measurements, the following are the Company's financial assets presented at fair value at January 31, 2013 and July 31, 2012.

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 fifty tenants, of which one tenant accounted for 19.29% and another tenant accounted for 15.60% of rental income during the six months ended January 31, 2013. 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, 2013 and July 31, 2012 provided by one tenant as a security deposit.

(a)        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 5(b) 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%.
 
(b) 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 5(a)), b) a permanent subordinate mortgage loan in the amount of $1,870,000 (the “Second Permanent Loan”), and c) multiple, successively subordinate loans in the amount $8,295,274 (“Subordinate Building Loans”). 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. The outstanding balance of the loan totaling $5,318,490 will become due and payable on February 18, 2015.

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 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 9 through 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report to Shareholders for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2012).

Results of Operations:

Three months Ended January 31, 2013 Compared to the Three months Ended January 31, 2012:

In the three months ended January 31, 2013, the Company reported a net loss of ($10,968), or ($.01) per share. In the comparable three months ended January 31, 2012, the Company reported net income of $313,745, or $.16 per share.

Revenues in the current three months decreased to $4,105,489 from $4,109,237 in the comparable 2012 three months primarily due to two office tenants vacating the Company's Jowein building in Brooklyn, New York, partially offset by one new office tenant at the Company's Nine Bond Street, Brooklyn, New York building.

Real estate operating expenses in the current three months increased to $2,452,371 from $2,109,775 in the comparable 2012 three months primarily due to increases in maintenance costs, real estate taxes, leasing commissions, and a bad debt expense from a retail tenant that vacated the Nine Bond street, Brooklyn, New York building, in the amount of $240,258, partially offset by decreases in licenses and permits costs.

Administrative and general expenses in the current three months increased to $953,205 from $945,545 in the comparable 2012 three months primarily due to an increase in payroll costs and insurance costs, partially offset by decreases in legal and professional costs.

Depreciation and amortization expense in the current three months increased to $402,485 from $393,337 in the comparable 2012 three months, primarily due to improvements to the Nine Bond Street, Brooklyn, New York property.

-13-



The current three months had a loss on disposition of property and equipment in the amount of $316,021. The 2012 three month period did not have this loss.

Interest expense in the current three months exceeded investment income by $63,375 and by $122,835 in the comparable 2012 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, 2013 Compared to the Six months Ended January 31, 2012:

In the six months ended January 31, 2013, the Company reported net income of $489,806, or $.24 per share. In the comparable six months ended January 31, 2012, the Company reported net income of $685,922, or $.34 per share.

Revenues in the current six months increased to $8,300,021 from $8,091,774 in the comparable 2012 six months primarily due to a new office tenant at the Company's Nine Bond Street, Brooklyn, New York building, partially offset by two office tenants vacating the Company's Jowein building in Brooklyn, New York.

Real estate operating expenses in the current six months increased to $4,453,265 from $4,124,040 in the comparable 2012 six months primarily due to increases in maintenance costs, real estate taxes, leasing commissions and a bad debt expense from a retail tenant that vacated the Nine Bond street, Brooklyn, New York building, in the amount of $240,258, partially offset by decreases in licenses and permits costs and utility costs.

Administrative and general expenses in the current six months decreased to $1,797,274 from $1,885,966 in the comparable 2012 six months primarily due to decreases in legal and professional costs.

Depreciation and amortization expense in the current six months increased to $803,742 from $780,134 in the comparable 2012 six months, primarily due to improvements to the Nine Bond Street, Brooklyn, New York property.

The current six months had a loss on disposition of property and equipment in the amount of $316,021. The 2012 six month period did not have this loss.

Interest expense in the current six months exceeded investment income by $166,913 and by $271,712 in the comparable 2012 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.

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 $2,500,033 at January 31, 2013.

A tenant who occupied 56,547 square feet of office space at the Company's Jowein building in Brooklyn, New York vacated the premises in January 2013.

A tenant who occupied 22,000 square feet of office space at the Company's Jowein building in Brooklyn, New York vacated the premises in January 2013. The annual loss in rental income to the Company will be approximately $546,000. The Company, in January 2013, entered into a lease agreement to replace this tenant. The rental income from this lease will more than offset the rental income lost from the previous tenant. The cost of construction and brokerage commissions to the Company will be approximately $1,100,000, which will be financed through operating funds. The project is anticipated to be completed by May 2013 at which time rent and occupancy will commence.

In January 2013, a tenant who occupies 7,401 square feet of retail space at the Company's Nine Bond Street, Brooklyn, New York property informed the Company that it will vacate the premises in February 2013.

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:

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 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, 2013, the Company had fixed-rate debt of $6,673,986.

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, 2013, 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.
