NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

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, incremental borrowing rates and recognition of renewal options for operating lease right-of-use 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, impairment analysis of long-lived assets, 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.

Basis of Presentation

The interim financial statements are prepared pursuant to the instructions for reporting on Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulations S-X of the Securities & Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Rules and Regulations. The July 31, 2025 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, 2025. 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, 2026 or any other period.

Restricted Cash

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

Accounts Receivable

Generally, rent is due from tenants at the beginning of the month in accordance with terms of each lease. 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. 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 late rent payments, 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. Management also assesses collectability by reviewing accounts receivable on an aggregate basis where similar characteristics exist. In determining the amount of the allowance for credit losses, the Company considers past due status and a tenant’s payment history. We also consider current market conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions. Our assessment considers volatility in market conditions and evolving shifts in credit trends that may have a material impact on our allowance for uncollectible accounts receivables in future periods.

The Company’s allowance for credit losses is recorded as an offset to receivables. Activity in the allowance for credit losses for each period follows:

Schedule of allowance for credit losses
	Allowance for Credit Loss					Credit Loss
	Period Ended					Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended

Table of Contents

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method. Amortization of improvements to leased property is calculated over the life of the lease. Lives used to determine depreciation and amortization are generally as follows:


Buildings and improvements			18-40 years
Improvements to leased property			3-40 years
Fixtures and equipment Fixtures and equipment [Member]			7-12 years
Other Other [Member]			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 costs 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.

Impairment

The Company periodically reviews owned and leased properties, including related long lived assets and depreciable lives, for indicators of impairment that imply the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable through operations plus estimated disposition proceeds. Such indicators of impairment include, but are not limited to, significant changes in real estate market conditions resulting in decreases in estimated fair values of properties or assets, changes in business conditions in the industries in which our tenants operate, and other significant or unusual events or circumstances which may occur from time to time.

If indicators of impairment existed, the carrying value of the property would be written down to its estimated fair value based on our best estimate of the property’s discounted future cash flows.

As of January 31, 2026 and July 31, 2025, the Company has determined there was no impairment of its owned and leased properties, and the related carrying values, including depreciable lives.

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 5 to 21 years, using the straight-line method. If a lease is terminated early, such costs are expensed.

Leases - Lessor Revenue

Rental income 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 are included in accounts receivable and 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. The effect of lease modifications that result in rent relief or other credits to tenants, including any retroactive effects relating to prior periods, are 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. As lessor, we have elected to combine the lease components (base rent), non-lease components (reimbursements of common area maintenance expenses) and reimbursements of real estate taxes and account for the components as a single lease component in accordance with ASC 842. 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.

Rent concessions granted were recognized as reductions in revenue as follows:

				Reductions in Revenue
		Total Rent		Three Months Ended January 31				Six Months Ended January 31
Property	Period	Concession		2026		2025		2026		2025

Jowein, Brooklyn, New York	November, 2025 to October, 2026	$	361,637		93,942		-		93,942		-
Total				$	213,942		-	$	333,942		-

Leases - Lessee

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. With the adoption of ASC 842, operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use assets, and operating lease liabilities on the Company’s balance sheet.

Operating lease right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make payments arising from the lease. Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Taxes

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “OBBBA”) was signed into law in the United States. The OBBBA includes changes to U.S. tax law applicable to the Company’s tax year ending July 31, 2025. The Company finalized recording all known and estimable impacts of the OBBBA when it filed its U.S. federal income tax return for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2025 in November 2025. There was no significant adjustment on the company's financial statement.

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 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.

The Company has a federal net operating loss carryforward approximating $11,000,000 as of July 31, 2025 and January 31, 2026 available to offset future taxable income. The company has net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $16,000,000 for state and $14,000,000 for city as of July 31, 2025 and January 31, 2026, 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 are calculated using the higher of taxes based on income or the respective capital-based franchise taxes. Beginning with the Company’s tax year ending July 31, 2027, changes in the law required the state capital-based tax will be phased out. New York City taxes will 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 expenses. 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.

Segment Reporting

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07), which require the Company to disclose segment expenses that are significant and regularly provided to the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). In addition, ASU 2023-07 requires the Company to disclose the title and position of its CODM and how the CODM uses segment profit or loss information in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 on its July 31, 2025 annual report and related disclosures. The Company uses the management approach to determine reportable operating segments. The management approach considers the internal organization and reporting used by the Company’s CODM for making decisions, allocating resources and assessing performance. The Company’s CODM has been identified as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who reviews consolidated results when making decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance of the Company. Based on management’s assessment, the Company has determined it has one operating segment (which operates commercial real estate properties) as defined by ASC Topic 280 “Segment Reporting”.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses

In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”) and in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-01, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the

Table of Contents

Effective Date, which clarified the effective date of ASU 2024-03. ASU 2024-03 will require the Company to disclose the amounts of employee compensation, depreciation, as applicable, included in certain expense captions in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, as well as qualitatively describe remaining amounts included in those captions. ASU 2024-03 will also require the Company to disclose both the amount and the Company’s definition of selling expenses. The Company is currently evaluating the effect ASU 2024-03 may have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Income Taxes

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), which will require the Company to disclose specified additional information in its income tax rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. ASU 2023-09 will also require the Company to disaggregate its income taxes paid disclosure by federal, state and foreign taxes, with further disaggregation required for significant individual jurisdictions. The Company is currently evaluating the effect ASU 2023-09 may have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

2. Loss Per Share of Common Stock:

Loss per share has been computed by dividing the net loss 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 loss per share were 2,015,780 for the three and six months ended January 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

3. Financial Instruments and Credit Risk Concentrations:

Financial instruments that are potentially subject to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of restricted cash, cash and cash equivalents, and receivables. Restricted cash, cash and cash equivalents are placed with multiple financial institutions and instruments to minimize risk. No assurance can be made that such financial institutions and instruments will minimize all such risk.

As of January 31 2026 and July 31, 2025, three tenants accounted for approximately 53.65% and 54.96% of receivables, respectively. During the six months ended January 31 2026, and 2025, three tenants accounted for 37.43% and two tenants accounted for 26.46% of total rental revenue, respectively.

4. Mortgage Payable:

Schedule of mortgage payable		Current Annual Interest Rate			Final Payment Date		January 31, 2026				July 31, 2025
Fishkill building		3.98%			4/1/2040		$	3,154,093			$	3,235,561

In March 2020, the Company obtained a loan with a bank in the amount of $4,000,000 to finance renovations and brokerage commissions relating to space leased to a community college at the Fishkill, New York building. The loan is secured by the Fishkill, New York land and building; amortized over a 20-year period with an interest rate of 3.98%. Effective any time after April 1, 2025 through April 1, 2040, the bank may demand a balloon payment for the full amount outstanding. Although the interest rate is currently favorable, the company may choose to refinance the mortgage at any time; however, the bank is under no obligation to refinance if or when the balloon payment comes due upon demand.

Maturities of long-term mortgages outstanding at January 31, 2026 based on the contractual payment dates, are as follows:


Fiscal Year:	Amount
*For the remainder of 2026	$	83,102
2027		171,241
2028		178,182
2029		185,404
2030		192,920
After 2030		2,343,244
Total	$	3,154,093

*	Contractual payments do not include balloon payment disclosed above. As of March 11, 2026, the bank has not communicated any intent to accelerate repayment.

5. Operating Leases:

Lessor

The Company leases office and retail space to tenants under operating leases in commercial buildings. Most rental terms range from approximately 5 to 49 years. The leases provide for the payment of fixed base rent payable monthly in advance as well as reimbursements of real estate taxes and common area costs. The Company has elected to account for lease revenues and the reimbursements of common area costs as a single component included as rental income in our consolidated statements of operations.

The following table disaggregates the Company’s revenues by lease and non-lease components:


	Three Months Ended January 31				Six Months Ended January 31
	2026		2025		2026		2025

Lessee

The Company’s real estate operations include leased properties under long-term, non-cancelable operating lease agreements. The leases expire at various dates through 2073, including options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise that option. Certain leases provide for increases in future minimum annual rental payments as defined in the lease agreements. As of January 31, 2026, our operating leases had a weighted average remaining lease term of 15.72 years and a weighted average discount rate of 3.76%.

In August 2025, the Company exercised the second of four five-year option periods with its landlord to extend the Jamaica Avenue at 169th Street, Jamaica, New York property lease beyond May 31, 2035 for a total of five years through May 31, 2040. The effect of the five-year lease extension on the measurement of operating right-of-use assets, liabilities, and monthly rent expense follows:

Table of Contents

Contingent Liability for Pension Plan:

Information as to the Company’s portion of accumulated plan benefits and plan assets is not reported separately by the pension plan. Under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, upon withdrawal from a multi-employer benefit plan, an employer is required to continue to pay its proportionate share of the plan’s unfunded vested benefits, if any. Any liability under this provision cannot be determined: however, the Company has not made a decision to withdraw from the plan. The legal name of the pension plan is “United Food and Commercial Workers Local 888 Pension Fund”.

Under the pension fund’s rehabilitation plan, which expired November 30, 2025 and is currently being negotiated, the Company pays a minimum contribution rate equal to 20.50% of each covered employee’s pay. The contract also covers rates of pay, hours of employment and other conditions of employment for approximately 21% of the Company’s 24 employees. The Company considers that its labor relations with its employees and union are good.

9. Related Party Transactions:

The Company has three operating leases with Landlord, an affiliated company, principally owned by the Chairman of the Board of Directors of both the Company and Landlord. One lease is for building, improvements, and land located at Jamaica Avenue at 169th Street, Jamaica, New York. Another lease is for premises located at 504-506 Fulton Street, Brooklyn, New York.

In August 2025, the Company exercised the second of four five-year option periods with its landlord to extend the Jamaica Avenue at 169th Street, Jamaica, New York property lease beyond May 31, 2035 for a total of five years through May 31, 2040. As of January 31, 2026, it is not reasonably certain the remaining two options to extend the lease from May 31, 2040 to May 31, 2050 will be exercised by the Company.

In December 2024, Weinstein Enterprises purchased the 508 Fulton Street property, including an existing lease, from another landlord who owned 25% of the property. Starting in January 2025, J.W. Mays began making rent payments to Weinstein Enterprises with no other changes to the existing lease.

10. Contingencies:

The Company is subject to various legal proceedings, claims, and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business operations. These matters include, but are not limited to, contractual disputes, third party slip and fall or personal injury claims which are typically handled by insurance counsel. 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.

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 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 its subsidiaries.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements:

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and other sections of this Report on Form 10-Q, may contain forward-looking statements that are based on our assumptions, expectations and projections about us and the real estate industry. These include statements regarding our expectations about revenues, our liquidity, or expenses and our continued growth, among others. Such forward-looking statements by their nature involve a degree of risk and uncertainty. We caution that a variety of factors, including but not limited to the factors described under Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2025 and the following, could cause our business performance or financial results to differ materially from what is contained in forward-looking statements:

●	changes in the rate of economic growth in the commercial real estate leasing market, and interest rates both nationally and locally;
●	existing indebtedness, including the potential for accelerated maturities;
●	the ability to obtain additional financing to fund our necessary capital expenditure projects on reasonable terms or at all;
●	changes in the financial condition of our customers;
●	changes in the regulatory environment and particularly burdens of increasing local, state, and federal requirements and taxes;
●	increasing trend of lease cancellations and loss of key tenants at our properties;
●	changes in our estimates of costs;
●	loss of key personnel;
●	war and/or terrorist attacks, global, national and local political unrest and protests could significantly impact buildings leased to tenants;
●	the continued availability of insurance for various policies at reasonable rates;
●	outcomes of pending and future litigation;
●	increasing competition by other landlords and building management companies, including the use of artificial intelligence and other advanced technologies among competitors;
●	compliance with our loan covenants;
●	impact of climate change on our properties and the geographic regions in which we operate;
●	recoverability of claims against our customers and others by us and claims by third parties against us;
●	changes in estimates used in our critical accounting policies;
●	cybersecurity and data privacy breach threats or incidents; and
●	pandemics and the related trends of office versus remote work practices.

Other factors and assumptions not identified above were also involved in the formation of these forward-looking statements and the failure of such other assumptions to be realized, as well as other factors, may also cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Most of these factors are difficult to predict accurately and are generally beyond our control. You should consider the areas of risk described above in connection with any forward-looking statements that may be made by us.

We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You are advised, however, to consult any additional disclosures we make in our annual proxy statement, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

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 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. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates during the six

In the comparable three months ended January 31, 2025, the Company reported net loss of $(157,681), or $(.08) per share. The increased loss in the 2026 three months was primarily due to an increase in administration expenses, combined with loss of tenants and rent concessions granted; partially offset by several new leases.

Revenues in the current three months decreased to $5,211,482 from $5,643,444 in the comparable three months ended January 31, 2025, primarily due to loss of tenants and rent concessions granted of $213,942; partially offset by several new leases.

Administrative and general expenses increased in the current three months to $1,325,921 from $1,251,875 in the comparable three months ended January 31, 2025, primarily due to increases in professional fees and executive payroll; partially offset by decreases in other administrative cost.

Depreciation expense in the current three months increased to $470,677 from $445,274 in the comparable three months ended January 31, 2025 primarily due to tenant improvements placed in service at various buildings.

Other income and interest expense improved in the current three months to $(3,560) compared to $(21,561) in the comparable three months ended January 31, 2025, primarily due to decreased in interest expense.

Six months ended January 31, 2026 compared to the six months ended January 31, 2025:

In the six months ended January 31, 2026, the Company reported net loss of $(842,987), or $(.42) per share. In the comparable six months ended January 31, 2025, the Company reported net loss of $(131,024), or $(.07) per share.

Real estate operating expenses in the current six months increased to $8,204,797 from $7,878,554 in the comparable six months ended January 31, 2025, primarily due to an increase in real estate taxes, insurance, utilities, and maintenance expenses, and a loss on fixed asset disposal; partially offset by decreases in building payroll costs.

Administrative and general expenses decreased in the current six months to $2,515,739 from $2,544,628 in the comparable six months ended January 31, 2025, primarily due to a decrease in professional fees, and pension expenses; partially offset by increases in other administrative cost.

-	$746,667 at the Company’s 9 Bond Street building in Brooklyn, New York. Total improvements are now complete.

-	$289,566 at the Company’s Fishkill building, New York for architectural work to design new space for an existing tenant.

-	$60,041 for tenant improvements at the Company’s Jamaica, New York premises for two tenants which are now complete as of October 31, 2025.

-	$298,575 at the Company’s Jowein building in Brooklyn, New York mostly related to scaffolding and steel work at the basement level.

Source of Funds; Cash Flows from Financing Activities; Company Indebtedness

As of January 31, 2026, the Company anticipates incurring an additional $12 million in capital expenditures over the next twelve months ending January 31, 2027. The Company’s primary source of liquidity is 1) cash provided by operations, and 2) borrowings (the company has received two loan commitments and are in the final stages of securing these loans to fund capital expenditures). Total liquidity as of January 31, 2026 consists of cash and cash equivalents of $434,420. Total liquidity includes proceeds from fixed rate borrowings as of January 31, 2026.

As of January 31, 2026, the Company’s only mortgage with a bank had outstanding debt of approximately $3.15 million. While the loan has a stated maturity of April 1, 2040, the mortgage agreement provides the lender with an unconditional right to demand repayment in full at any time through final payment date of April 1, 2040. This mortgage balloon payment demand provision has a significant impact on our financial ratios and the perception of our short-term liquidity. As of this date of filing, the bank has not communicated any intent to accelerate repayment. The Company maintains a positive relationship with the bank and remains in full compliance with terms of the loan provisions. Although the interest rate is currently favorable, the Company may choose to refinance the mortgage, however, the bank is under no obligation to refinance if or when a balloon payment comes due upon demand.

For a more detailed description of the Company’s indebtedness, see Note 4 - Mortgage Payable contained in these Consolidated Financial Statements.

We believe our sources of liquidity described above will be sufficient to meet our obligations over the next 12 months.

The Company’s ability to increase cash flows from operations, and to obtain additional sources of borrowings is dependent on many factors such as the continuously evolving local and macroeconomic commercial real estate markets, the effects of the overall economy, fluctuating interest rates, inflation, trends of office versus remote work practices, city and state regulations, and increasing real estate tax assessments. Furthermore, the Company anticipates the need for additional financing in fiscal year 2026 for capital expenditures. There is no assurance the Company will be successful in securing additional sources of financing when needed. In the event we are unable to secure additional sources of financing and our liquidity needs exceed our access to liquidity, we may need to sell or divest one or more of our properties or real estate assets to manage our liquidity needs, thus reducing our earnings and such property sale may be necessary at an inopportune time and on unfavorable terms. The determination of whether a particular property should be sold or otherwise disposed of will generally be made after consideration of relevant factors, including tax implications, prevailing economic conditions, other investment opportunities, and considerations specific to the condition, value, and financial performance of the property and the Company’s liquidity needs.
