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, 2016 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, 2016. 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, 2017.

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.

As of July 31, 2016, the Company had a federal net operating loss carryforward approximating $6,580,000, which is available to offset future taxable income. In addition, as of July 31, 2016, 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.

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 ended 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.

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 tax benefit of its New York State and New York City net operating loss carryforwards.

Reclassifications:

The consolidated financial statements for the prior year 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 FASB issued 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.

2. Income Per Share of Common Stock:
 
          

Income per share has been computed by dividing the net income for the periods by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the periods, adjusted for the purchase of treasury stock. Shares used in computing income per share were 2,015,780 for the three and six months ended January 31, 2017 and January 31, 2016.

  
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 six months ended January 31, 2017 and year ended July 31, 2016.

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 January 31, 2017 and July 31, 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 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.

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 18.54%, another tenant accounted for 15.00% and a third tenant accounted for 10.50% of rental income during the six months ended January 31, 2017. The six months ended January 31, 2016 had one tenant account for 18.73% and another tenant account for 15.50% of rental income. No other tenant accounted for more than 10% of rental income during the same periods.

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

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 had 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.

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 work commenced to replace a roof on the Fishkill, New York building. There is a reasonable possibility the Company will not be paid in full and 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 in this matter, another $141,132 was charged to operating expenses on October 31, 2016.

Item 2.

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

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

Forward Looking Statements:

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

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 pages 7 and 8 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein and Note 1 on pages 9 through 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report to Shareholders for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2016).

Results of Operations:

Three months ended January 31, 2017 compared to the three months ended January 31, 2016:

In the three months ended January 31, 2017, the Company reported net income of $323,562, or $.16 per share. In the comparable three months ended January 31, 2016, the Company reported net income of $222,726, or $.11 per share.

Revenues in the current three months increased to $4,824,881 from $4,607,607 in the comparable 2016 three months primarily due to increased rental income from existing tenants.

Real estate operating expenses in the current three months increased to $2,695,314 from $2,571,056 in the comparable 2016 three months primarily due to increases in real estate taxes, utilities and licenses and permits costs partially offset by decreases in maintenance costs.

Administrative and general expenses in the current three months decreased to $1,204,117 from $1,258,771 in the comparable 2016 three months primarily due to decreases in legal and professional cost, partially offset by increases in medical costs and directors fees.

Depreciation and amortization expense in the current three months increased to $416,673 from $407,400 in the comparable 2016 three months primarily due to improvements in the Nine Bond Street building in Brooklyn, New York.

Interest expense exceeded investment income in the current three months by $19,215 and by $64,654 in the comparable 2016 three months. The decrease is primarily due to a loss on sale of marketable securities in the 2016 three months.

-16-



Six months ended January 31, 2017 compared to the six months ended January 31, 2016:

In the six months ended January 31, 2017, the Company reported net income of $785,587, or $.39 per share. In the comparable six months ended January 31, 2016, the Company reported net income of $624,101, or $.31 per share.

Revenues in the current six months increased to $9,607,788 from $9,176,668 in the comparable 2016 six months primarily due to increased rental income from existing tenants.

The recovery of real estate taxes in the current six months in the amount of $10,952, net of legal expenses, represents recovery of prior years’ real estate taxes from one of the Company’s properties. The comparable 2016 six months did not have a recovery of real estate taxes.

Real estate operating expenses in the current six months increased to $5,223,249 from $4,979,655 in the comparable 2016 six months primarily due to increases in real estate taxes, utilities, licenses and permits costs and a charge for litigation against a contractor in the amount of $141,132 (see Note 14), partially offset by decreases in maintenance costs and leasing commission costs.

Administrative and general expenses in the current six months decreased to $2,289,002 from $2,309,053 in the comparable 2016 six months primarily due to decreases in legal and professional cost, partially offset by increases in medical costs and directors fees.

Depreciation and amortization expense in the current six months increased to $829,300 from $814,150 in the comparable 2016 six months primarily due to improvements in the Nine Bond Street building in Brooklyn, New York.

Interest expense exceeded investment income in the current six months by $83,650 and by $127,709 in the comparable 2016 six months. The decrease is primarily due to a loss on sale of marketable securities in the 2016 six months.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

In December 2016, a tenant who occupies 47,100 square feet of retail space at the Company’s Jamaica, New York building extended its lease for an additional two years expiring May 31, 2019.

-17-



A tenant who occupies 99,992 square feet of retail space at the Company’s Fishkill, New York building will be vacating the space in May 2017. The annual loss in rental income will be approximately $284,000.

In February 2017, a tenant who occupies 25,423 square feet of office space at the Company’s Nine Bond Street, Brooklyn, New York building, whose lease expires on March 31, 2017, extended the lease until December 31, 2017.

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 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.

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;

-18-



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 January 31, 2017, the Company had fixed-rate debt of $5,709,650.
