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 
portions of these properties are owned and the balance is leased� A substantial percentage of these properties are leased to tenants 
while the remainder is available for lease�

More comprehensive information concerning the Company appears in its Form 10-K Annual Report for the fiscal year ended 

July 31, 2019�

J.W. MAYS, INC.

TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS:

The financial condition of our Company continued to be strong during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2019 with profits earned 

during this period�

In fiscal 2019, our revenues from operations were $20,478,180 compared to $19,300,882 in the 2018 fiscal year� Net income 
for fiscal 2019 was $1,514,801, or $�75 per share� This compares to net income of $2,974,141, or $1�48 per share for fiscal 2018� The 
decrease in net income was primarily due to the enactment of the U�S� Tax Act on December 22, 2017� These changes resulted in 
a tax benefit in the 2018 year, where as the 2019 year had tax expense�

The Company was able to extend four leases with existing tenants, three at its Nine Bond Street building in Brooklyn, New 
York and one at its Jamaica building, in Jamaica, New York� The Company was also able to sign a lease with a tenant at its Fishkill, 
New York building who will occupy 47,000 square feet� These new tenants, lease extensions, and increased rentals from existing 
tenants should help enable the Company to maintain strong rental income growth from operations in the future�

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�

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, 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 uses its historical knowledge of the tenants 
and industry experience to determine 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 surrender of a portion of a tenant’s space, the Company reported a bad debt expense 
of $118,238 for the year ended July 31, 2019 and due to the early termination of a lease, the Company recorded a bad debt expense 
of $80,302 for the year ended July 31, 2018, both are 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 life of the lease or the estimated useful 
life of the improvements� Lives used to determine depreciation and amortization are generally as follows:

Buildings and improvements � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � 
Improvements to leased property � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � 
Fixtures and equipment  � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � 
Other � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � 

18-40 years
3-40 years
7-12 years
3-5 years

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, 2019 and 2018, 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 forwards which currently are not deductible for tax purposes� Deferred tax liabilities result principally 
from temporary differences in the recognition of unrealized 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 2019 and 2018�

Marketable Securities

Prior  to  the  adoption  of  ASU  2016-01,  the  Company  categorized  marketable  securities  as  either  trading,  available-for-
sale or held-to-maturity at the time of purchase� Trading securities were carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses 
included  in  income�  Available-for-sale  securities  were  carried  at  fair  value  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  were  carried  at  amortized  cost�  With  the  adoption  of  ASU  2016-01  effective  August  1,  2018,  equity  securities  with 
readily determinable fair values are reported at fair value as marketable securities in the other assets section of the balance sheet� 
Also, effective August 1, 2018, changes in fair value of marketable securities are recorded in the investment income and interest 
expense section of the statement of income and retained earnings� Dividends and interest income are accrued as earned� Realized 

10

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 year ended July 31, 2018�

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, 2019 and 2018�

 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�

Recently issued accounting standards:

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�

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� We adopted these standards effective August 1, 2018 
using the modified retrospective approach, which allowed us to apply the new standard to all existing contracts not yet completed 
as of the effective date and record a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year of 
adoption, however there was no cumulative-effect required to be recognized in our retained earnings as the date of adoption� The 
adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements�

11

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 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after 
December 15, 2017� We adopted this standard effective August 1, 2018 and recorded a cumulative effect adjustment to increase 
opening  retained  earnings  at  August  1,  2018  by  $487,136  as  required  for  equity  investments  recorded  at  fair  value,  formerly 
available-for-sale securities�

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� We adopted this 
standard effective August 1, 2018 with retrospective application to our consolidated financial statements�

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No� 2018-02, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): 
Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income”, to address a specific consequence of 
the Tax Act by allowing a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to retained earnings for stranded 
tax effects resulting from the Tax Act’s reduction of the U�S� federal corporate income tax rate� The standard is effective for all 
entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted, and is to be applied either in the 
period of adoption or retrospectively to each period in which the effect of the change in the U�S� federal corporate income tax 
rate in the Tax Act is recognized� The Company early adopted this ASU effective August 1, 2018 and applied this new guidance 
in the period of adoption� As a result, $92,000 of income taxes stranded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) was 
classified to retained earnings� The ASU also requires the Company to disclose its policy on accounting for income tax effects 
in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)� In general, the Company applies the individual item approach with respect to 
marketable securities�

In  August  2018,  the  U�S�  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  (“SEC”)  adopted  final  rules  under  SEC  Release  No�  33-
10532, Disclosure Update and Simplification, amending and expanding certain disclosure requirements� The rules require, among 
other things, that registrants include in their interim financial statements a reconciliation of changes in shareholders’ equity in the 
notes or as a separate statement that reconciles the beginning balance to the ending balance of each caption in shareholders’ equity 
for each period for which an income statement is required to be filed� The Company applied the new SEC disclosure requirements 
to the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity in the third quarter of fiscal 2019 on a retrospective basis�

In July 2019, the FASB issued ASU No� 2019-07, “Codification Updates to SEC Sections -Amendments to SEC Paragraphs 
Pursuant  to  SEC  Final  Rule  Releases  No�  33-10532,  Disclosure  Update  and  Simplification,  and  Nos�  33-10231  and  33-10442, 
Investment Company Reporting Modernization, and Miscellaneous Updates,”� This guidance aligns the guidance in various SEC 
sections of the Codification with the requirements of certain SEC final rules� The ASU is effective upon issuance, during the 
Company’s fourth quarter of fiscal 2019� The adoption this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial 
statements�

Recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted:

In  February  2016,  the  FASB  issued  ASU  2016-02,  “Leases�”  ASU  2016-02  is  intended  to  increase  transparency  and 
comparability among organizations in 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�  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�

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No� 2018-10, “Codification Improvements to Topic 842”, which provides amendments 
and clarification to ASU 2016-12 based on the FASB’s interaction with stakeholders� In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No� 
2018-11 “Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements”, which amends Leases (Topic 842) to (i) add an optional transition method 
that would permit entities to apply the new requirements by recognizing a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of 
retained earnings in the year of adoption, and (ii) provide a practical expedient for lessors regarding the separation of the lease and 
non-lease components of a contract� In December 2018, the FASB issued ASU No� 2018-20, “Leases (Topic 842) Narrow-Scope 
Improvement for Lessors,” which clarifies how to apply the leases standard when accounting for sales taxes and other similar 
taxes collected from lessees, certain lessor costs, and  recognition of variable payments for contracts with lease and non-lease 

12

components� In March 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-01, “Leases (Topic 842) Codification Improvements”, which provides 
amendments for issues brought to the Board’s attention through its interactions with stakeholders� The issues identified are as 
follows� 1� Determining the fair value of the underlying asset by lessors that are not manufacturers or dealers, 2� Presentation on the 
statement of cash flows-sales-type and direct financing leases, 3� Transition disclosures related to Topic 250, Accounting Changes 
and Error Corrections� These standards are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods 
within those fiscal years� The new standards will be effective for the Company for the fiscal year beginning August 1, 2019� 

Upon adoption of Topic 842, the Company has elected the following practical expedients:
• 

The Company will apply the optional transition method of recognizing a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening 
balance of retained earnings in the initial period of adoption on August 1, 2019� The Company does not anticipate a 
significant adjustment to opening retained earnings�

•  As lessee and lessor, the Company has elected not to reassess lease classification and all leases will continue to be 

classified as operating leases under the new standard�

The Company’s lessor accounting remains similar under Topic 842 but updated to align with certain changes to the lessee 
model and the new revenue recognition standard (ASU 2014-09)� Therefore, as of August 1, 2019, the Company does not anticipate 
significant changes in accounting for its lease revenue as lessor� 

The Company as lessee, upon adoption of Topic 842 on August 1, 2019, recorded on its balance sheet right-of-use assets and 
lease liabilities approximating $27�1 million and $17�9 million, respectively, based on the net present value of remaining minimum 
rental payments required by existing operating leases� Additionally, a lease which expires July 31, 2029 related to an affiliate 
principally owned by a director of the Company (“landlord”) is for a ground lease which required the Company to construct a 
building during the lease period� In accordance with the terms of this lease, upon lease termination in 2029, the building and 
all improvements are turned over to the landlord as property owner� As a result of the new standard, effective August 1, 2019, 
such building and improvements net of accumulated depreciation approximating $10�2 million are included in right-of-use asset,

On January 9, 2015, the Company refinanced its loan with a bank 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� The Company is in the process of evaluating its 
options related to the repayment of the mortgage�

Maturities of long-term mortgage and term loan payable outstanding at July 31, 2019 are as follows: Year ending July 31, 

2020 (included in current liabilities): $5,298,610�

The carrying value of the property collateralizing the above debt is $22,294,746 at July 31, 2019�

4. INCOME TAXES:

On December 22, 2017, the United States government (“U�S�”) enacted significant changes to the U�S� tax law following 
the passage and signing of H�R�1, “An Act to Provide for Reconciliation Pursuant to Titles II and V of the Concurrent Resolution 
on the Budget for Fiscal Year 2018” (the “Tax Act”) (previously known as “The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act”)� The Tax Act included 
significant changes to existing tax law, including a permanent reduction to the U�S� federal corporate income tax rate from 34% to 
21%, a one-time repatriation tax on deferred foreign income, deductions, credits and business related exclusions�

The permanent reduction to the U�S� federal corporate income tax rate from 34% to 21% was effective January 1, 2018 (the 
“Effective Date”)� When a U�S� federal tax rate change occurs during a fiscal year, taxpayers are required to compute a weighted 
daily average rate for the fiscal year of enactment� As a result of the Tax Act, the Company has calculated a U�S� federal statutory 
corporate income tax rate of 26�42% for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2018 and applied this rate in computing the income tax 
provision� The U�S� federal statutory corporate income tax rate of 26�42% is the weighted daily average rate between the pre-
enactment U�S� federal statutory tax rate of 34%, applicable to the Company’s fiscal year ending July 31 2018 prior to the Effective 
Date, and the post-enactment U�S� federal statutory tax rate of 21% applicable thereafter� The Company applied the U�S� federal 
statutory rate of 21% for fiscal years beginning after July 31, 2018�

As of July 31, 2017, the Company had net deferred federal tax liabilities totaling approximately $5�6 million� As a direct result 
of the permanent reduction in federal tax rates from 34% to 21%, the value of these net deferred tax liabilities was computed at 
the new, lower tax rate which results in a reduction in deferred tax liabilities and an income tax benefit in the period of enactment� 
Accordingly, the Company’s income tax provision for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2018 included a $2�4 million non-cash reduction 
to the value of net deferred tax liabilities to the revised value based on the new, lower tax rate�

Income taxes provided for the years ended July 31, 2019 and 2018 consist of the following:

The Company has a federal net operating loss carryforward approximating $4,001,000 and $4,078,000 as of July 31, 2019 and 
July 31, 2018, respectively, available to offset future taxable income� As of July 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had unused state 
and city net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $10,182,000 and $10,107,000, respectively, for state and $8,274,000 
for city, 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, 
2019, 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,  2019  and  2018  are  a  result  of 

temporary differences related to the items described as follows:

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 and state deferred tax assets at July 31, 2019�

New  York  State  and  New  York  City  taxes  are  calculated  using  the  higher  of  taxes  based  on  income  or  the  respective 
capital-based  franchise  taxes�  Beginning  with  the  Company’s  tax  year  ended  July  31,  2016,  changes  in  the  law  required  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  income  after  the  capital-based  tax  is  phased  out�  During  the  quarter  ended  July  31,  2018,  the  Company  recorded  a  state 
deferred tax asset, deferred tax liability and deferred taxes on unrealized gain on available-for-sale securities in the amounts of 
$790,000, $1,430,000 and $53,000, respectively, resulting in a state deferred tax expense of $587,000� New York City taxes will 

15

be based on capital for the foreseeable future� Capital-based franchise taxes are recorded to administrative and general expense� 
State tax amounts in excess of the capital-based franchise taxes are recorded to income tax expense� Due to both the application 
of the capital-based tax and due to the possible absence of city taxable income, the Company does not record city deferred taxes�

Components of the deferred tax provision (benefit) for the years ended July 31, 2019 and 2018 consist of the following:

Tax depreciation exceeding book depreciation  � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � 
Federal net operating loss carryforward  � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �

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 3 years to 25 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 fiscal years ended July 31, 2019 and July 31, 2018 was exceeded by 

sublease rental income, as follows:

Minimum rental expense� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �
Contingent rental expense � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �

Rent expense related to an affiliate principally owned by a director of the Company totaled $987,250 for fiscal years ended 
July 31, 2019 and 2018� The rent expense is derived from two leases which expire May 31, 2029 and April 30, 2031, respectively� 
Rent expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lives of the leases�

 The lease which expires May 31, 2029 is related to an affiliate principally owned by a director of the Company (“landlord”), 
is for a ground lease which required the Company to construct a building during the lease period� In accordance with the terms of 
the lease, upon lease termination in 2029, the building and all improvements are turned over to the landlord�

 Future minimum non-cancelable rental commitments for operating leases with initial or remaining terms of one year or 

more are payable as follows:

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, 
restricted cash, and tenant security deposits due to their high liquidity�

14. 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�

20

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 re-occupied the premises 
in October 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�

15. CONTINGENCIES:

On  November  2,  2018  the  Company  settled  the  lawsuit  relating  to  defective  workmanship  and  breach  of  contract  to 
replace a roof and various other work on its Fishkill, New York building� The Company agreed to pay $635,000 to the Plaintiffs, 
D� Owens Electric, Inc�, Mid-Hudson Structural Concrete, Inc� d/b/a Recycle Depot, and BSB Construction, Inc�, in settlement 
of the claims made against the Company� This settlement resolves the actions and disputes referred to in the Decision and Order 
dated October 30, 2018 of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Dutchess� The $635,000 was paid in full on 
November 6, 2018�

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�

16. SUBSEQUENT EVENT:

On September 18, 2019, the Company’s largest retail tenant occupying 128,196 square feet surrendered approximately 22,000 
square feet at the Nine Bond street building in Brooklyn, New York� The effective date of the surrender was August 31, 2019 and 
was approximately 16% of the total square footage that this tenant leased from the Company prior to such surrender� The annual 
loss in rent will be approximately $965,000 until a new tenant is obtained to occupy the space�

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�

J.W. MAYS, INC.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders 
J�W� Mays, Inc� and Subsidiaries

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We  have  audited  the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheets  of  J�W�  Mays,  Inc�  and  Subsidiaries  (the 
Company) as of July 31, 2019 and 2018 and the related consolidated statements of income and retained earnings, 
comprehensive income, changes in shareholders equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two year period 
ended July 31, 2019, and the related notes and financial statement schedule (collectively referred to as the consolidated 
financial statements)� In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, 
the financial position of the Company as of July 31, 2019 and 2018 and the results of its operations and its cash flows 
for each of the years in the two year period ended July 31, 2019, in conformity with accounting principles generally 
accepted in the United States of America�

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management� Our responsibility 
is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits� We are a public 
accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are 
required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U�S� federal securities laws and the 
applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB� 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB� 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, whether due to error or fraud� The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged 
to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting� As part of our audits, we are required to obtain 
an understanding of internal control over financial reporting 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� 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated 
financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks� Such 
procedures include examining on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated 
financial statements� Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates 
made  by  management,  as  well  as  evaluating  the  overall  presentation  of  the  consolidated  financial  statements� 
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion�

/s/ D’Arcangelo + Co� LLP

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 1996�

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  consolidated  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 13 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�

25

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�

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 2019 COMPARED TO FISCAL 2018

Net income for the year ended July 31, 2019 amounted to $1,514,801 or $�75 per share, compared to net income for the year 
ended July 31, 2018 of $2,974,141, or $1�48 per share� The decrease was primarily due to the enactment of the U�S� Tax Act on 
December  22,  2017�  These  changes  required  an  adjustment  to  our  deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities  to  the  lower  federal  rates 
resulting in an estimated net tax benefit of approximately $2�4 million�

Revenues  in  the  current  year  increased  to  $20,478,180  from  $19,300,882  in  the  comparable  2018  year  primarily  due  to 
increased  rental  income  from  existing  tenants  and  a  real  estate  tax  refund  from  the  Company’s  Levittown  and  Massapequa, 
New York properties�

Real estate operating expenses in the current year increased to $11,230,957 from $11,074,396 in the comparable 2018 year 
primarily due to increases in real estate taxes, payroll costs, license and permits, and rent expense, partially offset by decreases 
in maintenance costs and utility costs�

Administrative  and  general  expenses  in  the  current  year  increased  to  $5,468,489  from  $4,598,144  in  the  comparable 
2018 year primarily due to the settlement of litigation cost in the amount of $635,000 (see Note 15), bad debt expense of $118,238 
and increases in payroll and pension costs�

Depreciation  and  amortization  expense  in  the  current  year  increased  to  $1,960,994  from  $1,775,690  in  the  comparable 

2018 year primarily due to improvements on the Brooklyn, Jamaica and Fishkill, New York buildings�

Investment  income  exceeded  interest  expense  in  the  current  year  by  $287,061  and  interest  expense  exceeded  investment 

income by $122,511 in the comparable 2018 year�

As explained above, the enactment of the U�S� Tax Act required an adjustment to our deferred tax assets and liabilities for the 
year ended July 31, 2018 to the lower federal rates resulting in an estimated net federal tax benefit of approximately $2�4 million� 
Income taxes provided for the year ended July 31, 2019 was approximately $590,000�

26

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The tenant who leased 20,000 square feet of space at the Company’s Massapequa, New York property to open a restaurant 
had their lease terminated in April 2019 for non-payment of rent� The tenant’s lease commenced in September 2018 and rent was
