regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission are not required under the

       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS ON FINANCIAL STATEMENT SCHEDULES

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
of J. W. Mays, Inc.:

     Our audits of the Consolidated Financial Statements referred to in our
report dated October 12, 1995, appearing on page 16 of the 1995 Annual Report to
Shareholders of J.W. Mays, Inc., (which report and Consolidated Financial
Statements are incorporated by reference in this Annual Report on Form 10-K)
also included an audit of the Summarized Financial Information contained in Item
8 and Financial Statement Schedules listed in Item 14(a)(2) of this Form 10-K.
Our report on the Consolidated Financial Statements includes explanatory
paragraphs with respect to the change in the method of accounting for marketable
securities--other investments in 1995 and a change in the method of accounting
for income taxes in 1994 as discussed in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements. In our opinion, this Summarized Financial Information and these
Financial Statement Schedules present fairly, in all material respects, the
information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related
Consolidated Financial Statements.

                            MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS

SECTION:

     1.1. Annual Meetings. The annual meeting of the shareholders of J.W. Mays,
Inc. (hereinafter called the Corporation), for the election of directors and for
the transaction of such other business as may be brought before the meeting,
shall be held on the last Tuesday of November of each year, or as soon
thereafter as practicable, and shall be held at a place and time determined by
the board of directors (the "Board").

     1.2. Special Meetings. Special meetings of the shareholders may be called
by resolution of the Board or by the President and shall be called by the
President upon the written request (stating the purpose or purposes of the
meeting) of a majority of the Board or of the holders of 20% of the outstanding
shares entitled to vote. Only business related to the purposes set forth in the
notice of the meeting may be transacted at a special meeting. The time and place
at which any special meeting of the shareholders shall be held shall be fixed by
the Board or the President, as the case may be, who shall have called such
meeting; provided, however, that the time so fixed shall be such as will permit
the giving of notice as hereinafter provided in Section 1.4. Special meetings
may also be called and held in such cases and in such manner as may be
specifically provided by law.

     1.3. Place of Meetings. Meetings of the shareholders may be held in or
outside New York State.

     1.4. Notice of Meetings; Waiver of Notice. Written notice of each meeting
of shareholders shall be given to each shareholder entitled to vote at the
meeting, except that (a) it shall not be necessary to give notice to any
shareholder who waives, in person or by proxy, such notice in writing including
waiver by telegraph, cable or wireless whether before or after the meeting, and
(b) no notice of an adjourned meeting need be given if the time and place to
which the meeting is adjourned are announced at the meeting at which the
adjournment is taken except as may otherwise be required by law. Each notice of
meeting shall be given, personally or by mail, not less than 10 nor more than 50
days before the meeting and shall state the place, date and hour of the meeting,
and unless it is the annual meeting, shall state at whose direction the meeting
is called and the purposes for which it is called. If mailed, notice shall be
considered given when deposited in the United States mail, with postage thereon
prepaid, directed to the shareholder at his address as it appears on the record
of shareholders or to such other address as he may direct by notice in writing
to Corporation. The attendance of any shareholder at a meeting, in person or by
proxy, without protesting prior to the conclusion of the meeting the lack of
notice of the meeting, shall constitute a waiver of notice by him.

     1.5. Quorum. The presence in person or by proxy of the holders of majority
of the shares entitled to vote shall constitute a quorum for the transactions of
any business. In the absence of a quorum a majority in voting interest of those
present or, in the absence of all the shareholders, any officer entitled to
preside at or to act as secretary of the meeting, may adjourn the meeting until
a quorum is present. At any adjournment meeting at which a quorum is present any
action may be taken which might have been taken at the meeting as originally
called.

     1.6. Voting; Proxies. Every shareholder entitled to vote at a meeting of
shareholders or to express consent or dissent without a meeting may authorize
another person or persons to act for him by

                                       A-1

<PAGE>


proxy. Each shareholder of record shall be entitled at every meeting of
shareholders to one vote for every share registered in his name on the record of
shareholders. Corporate action to be taken by shareholder vote, other than the
election of directors, shall be authorized by a majority of the votes cast at a
meeting of shareholders, except as otherwise provided by law. Directors shall be
elected in the manner provided in Section 2.3 of these by-laws. Voting need not
be by ballot unless requested by a shareholder at the meeting or ordered by the
person presiding at the meeting. Every proxy must be signed by the shareholder
or his attorney-in-fact. No proxy shall be valid after eleven months from its
date unless it provides otherwise.

     1.7. Inspectors of Election. The person presiding at a meeting of
shareholders may appoint one or more inspectors who may be shareholders or their
proxies, but not directors of the Corporation or candidates for such office.
Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of his duties, shall take and
sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector at such meeting with
strict impartiality and according to the best of his ability. The inspector or
inspectors shall have such duties and powers prescribed by law. On request of
the person presiding at the meeting or any shareholder entitled to vote thereat,
the inspectors shall make a report in writing of any challenge, question or
matter determined by them and execute a certificate of any fact found by them.
Any report or certificate made by them, shall be prima facie evidence of the
facts stated and of the vote as certified by them.


                                   ARTICLE II

                               BOARD OF DIRECTORS

SECTION:

     2.1. General Powers and Qualification. The business of the Corporation
shall be managed by the board of directors each of whom shall be at least 21
years of age. At least one of them shall be a citizen of the United States and a
resident of the State of New York. Directors need not be shareholders of the
Corporation.

     2.2. Manner of Determining Number of Directors to be Chosen. The number of
directors to be chosen within the maximum limits fixed by the certificate of
incorporation, shall be determined in the following manner: At each meeting of
shareholders for the election of directors and before the taking of a vote
thereon, the number of directors to be elected at such meeting shall be fixed
and determined by a majority vote of the stock represented at the meeting in
person or by proxy, provided, however, that at any time or times between annual
elections of directors, the existing directors may, by a majority vote of the
entire Board, increase the number of directors up to the maximum limits fixed by
the certificate of incorporation and in connection with any such increase, the
directors may, by like vote, designate the additional director or directors who
shall continue in office until the next annual meeting and until his successor
shall be elected and qualified. By a majority vote of the entire Board, the
Board may decrease the number of directors to not less than three but no
decrease shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.

     2.3. Elections. Directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast
at a meeting of shareholders by the holders of shares entitled to vote in the
election and shall hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders and
until their successors have been elected and qualified.

     2.4. Resignations. Any director of the Corporation may resign at any time
by giving written notice to the President or the Secretary. Such resignation
shall take effect at the time specified therein; and, unless otherwise specified
therein, the acceptance of such resignation shall not be necessary to make it
effective.

     2.5. Vacancies. Any vacancy in the Board, whether caused by death,
resignation or removal with or without a cause or otherwise may be filled by the
vote of a majority of the directors then in office,

                                      A-2

<PAGE>


though less than a quorum. Vacancies occurring in the Board by reason of
removal of a director without cause by shareholders may also be filled by vote
of shareholders at a special meeting called for that purpose.

     2.6. Place of Meetings. Meetings of the Board may be held in or outside New
York State.

     2.7. Annual and Regular Meetings. Annual meetings of the Board, for the
election of officers and consideration of other matters, shall be held either
(a) without notice immediately after the annual meeting of shareholders and at
the same place, or (b) as soon as practicable after the annual meeting of
shareholders, on notice as provided in Section 2.8 of these by-laws. Regular
meetings of the Board may be held without notice if the time and place of such
meetings are fixed by the Board. If the day fixed for a regular meeting is a
legal holiday, the meeting shall be held on the next business day.

     2.8. Special Meetings. Special meetings of the Board shall be held upon
notice to the directors and may be called by the Chairman of the Board, either
of the Co-Chairmen, if so elected by the Board, the President or by any two of
the directors.

     2.9. Notice of Meetings; Waiver of Notice. Notice of the time and place of
each special meeting of the Board, and of each annual meeting not held
immediately after the annual meeting of shareholders and at the same place,
shall be given to each director by mailing it to him at his residence or usual
place of business at least three days before the meeting or by delivering or
telephoning or telegraphing it to him at least two days before the meeting. A
notice, or waiver of notice, need not specify the purpose of any regular or
special meeting of the Board. Notice need not be given to any director who
submits a signed waiver of notice before or after the meeting, or who attends
the meeting without protesting the lack of notice to him, either before the
meeting or when it begins. Any meeting of the Board shall be a legal meeting
without any notice having been given or regardless of the giving of any notice
or the adoption of any resolution in reference thereto, if every member of the
Board shall be present thereat.

     2.10. Removal of Directors. Any or all of the directors may be removed at
anytime, either with or without cause, by vote of the shareholders, and any of
the directors may be removed for cause by action of the Board.

     2.11. Quorum and Action by the Board. At all meetings of the Board, the
presence of a majority of the directors then in office, but in no event less
than three, shall be necessary to constitute a quorum, except as provided in
Section 2.5 of these by-laws. Unless otherwise provided by law or these by-laws,
the vote of a majority of the directors present at the time of the vote, if a
quorum is present at such time, shall be the act of the Board. In the absence of
a quorum, a majority of the directors present may adjourn the meeting sine die,
or from time to time until a quorum is present. Notice of any adjourned meeting
need not be given otherwise than by announcement at the meeting at which the
adjournment is taken.

     2.12. Executive Committee. The Board, by resolution adopted by a majority
of the entire Board, may designate an Executive Committee of three or more
directors which shall have all the authority of the Board, except as otherwise
provided in the resolution or by law, and which shall serve at the pleasure of
the Board. All action of the Executive Committee shall be reported to the Board
at its next meeting. The Executive Committee shall adopt rules of procedure and
shall meet as provided by those rules or by resolutions of the Board.

     2.13. Other Committees. The Board, by resolution adopted by a majority of
the entire Board, may designate other committees of directors, to serve at the
Board's pleasure, with such powers and duties as the Board determines.

     2.14. Alternate Members. The Board may designate one or more directors as
alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent member or members
at any meeting of such committee.

                                      A-3

<PAGE>



     2.15. Compensation. Directors shall receive such compensation as the Board
determines, together with reimbursement of their reasonable expenses in
connection with the performance of their duties. A director may also be paid for
serving the Corporation, its affiliates or subsidiaries in other capacities.

     2.16. Action Without Meeting. Any action required or permitted to be taken
by the Board or any committee thereof may be taken without a meeting if all
members of the Board or the committee consent in writing to the adoption of a
resolution authorizing the action. The resolution and the written consents
thereto by the members of the Board or committee shall be filed with the minutes
of the proceedings of the Board or committee.

     2.17. Participation in Board or Committee Meetings by Conference Telephone.
Any one or more members of the Board or any committee thereof may participate in
a meeting of such Board or committee by means of a conference telephone or
similar communications equipment allowing all persons participating in the
meeting to hear each other at the same time. Participation by such means shall
constitute presence in person at a meeting.


                                   ARTICLE III

                                    OFFICERS

SECTION:

shall be the Chairman of the Board [if so elected by the Board] or either or
both of the Co-Chairmen [if so elected by the Board], the President, one or more
Vice Presidents (including, at the election of the Board, a Senior Vice
President and one or more Executive Vice Presidents), a Secretary, a Treasurer,
and such other officers as it may determine. Any two or more offices may be held
by the same person, except the offices of President and Secretary. The executive
officers shall have such authority and perform such duties in the management of
the Corporation as may be provided in these by-laws, or to the extent not so
provided, by the Board. In the case of more than one person holding an office of
the same title, any one of them may perform the duties of the office except
insofar as the Board of Directors may otherwise direct.

     3.2. Election; Term of Office. The executive officers of the Corporation
shall be elected annually by the Board and each such officer shall hold office,
subject to the provisions of law and of these by-laws, until the next annual

     3.3. Subordinate Officers. The Board may appoint subordinate officers
(including a Controller, one or more Assistant Secretaries and Assistant

and have such powers and duties as the Board determines. The Board may delegate
to any executive officer or to any committee the power to appoint, define the
powers and duties and fix the compensation of, any subordinate officers, agents
or employees.

     3.4. Resignation and Removal of Officers. Any officer may resign at any
time by giving written notice to the President or the Secretary. Any such
resignation shall take effect at the time specified therein; and, unless
otherwise specified therein, the acceptance of such resignation shall not be
necessary to make it effective. Any officer elected or appointed by the Board or
appointed by an executive officer or by a committee may be removed by the Board
either with or without cause.

     3.5. Vacancies. A vacancy in any office may be filled for the unexpired

<PAGE>


from time to time determine the respective responsibilities of the Co-Chairmen.
Any conflict between the Co-Chairmen shall be resolved by a vote of a majority
of the entire Board. The Chairman of the Board, or one of the Co-Chairmen, as
determined by the Board, shall be the Chief Executive Officer of the
Corporation. The Chairman of the Board, or either of such Co-Chairmen, if so
elected by the Board, shall preside at all meetings of the Board and of the
shareholders, and shall have such other powers and duties in the management of
the Corporation as such Chairman or Co-Chairmen of the Board or as a Chief
Executive Officer usually has or as the Board assigns to him or them, as the
case may be. In the event that the Board elects Co-Chairmen, either or both may
be designated officers of the Corporation.

     3.7. The President. The President shall be the Chief Operating Officer of
the Corporation and shall, in the absence of the Chairman of the Board, or the
Co-Chairmen, if so elected by the Board, or in case of his [or their] inability
to act, or at the request of the Chairman of the Board, or one of the
Co-Chairmen, if so elected by the Board, preside at meetings of the Board and of
the shareholders, and shall be a member of all standing committees appointed by
the Board. Subject to the powers of the Chairman of the Board, or the
Co-Chairmen, if so elected by the Board, and the provisions of Section 3.6 and
subject further to the control of the Board, he shall have general supervision
over the business of the Corporation and shall have such other powers and duties
as Presidents of corporations usually have or as the Board or the Executive
Committee, if any, assigns him.

     3.8. The Vice Presidents. In the absence or inability to act of the
President, the Senior Vice President (if there be one, and, if not, then the
Vice President, including any Executive Vice President, designated by the
Board), shall perform all the duties of the President, and when so acting, shall
have all the powers of and be subject to all the restrictions upon the President
under these by-laws. The Vice Presidents shall perform such other duties and
have such authority as from time to time may be assigned to them by the Board or
the President.

     3.9. The Treasurer and Assistant Treasurer. The Treasurer shall be the
chief financial officer of the Corporation and shall be in charge of the
Corporation's books and accounts. Subject to the control of the Board, he shall
have such other powers and duties as the Board or the President assigns to him.

                                   ARTICLE IV

                     VOTING UPON STOCK IN OTHER CORPORATIONS

SECTION:

     4.1. Manner of Voting. Unless otherwise ordered by the Board, any shares of
stock held by the Corporation in any other corporation may be voted on behalf of
the Corporation by the Chairman of the Board, or either of the Co-Chairmen, if
so elected by the Board, or the President of the Corporation.


                                    ARTICLE V

                                 SHARES OF STOCK

SECTION:

     5.1. Form of Certificates. The stock of the Corporation shall be

certificates of stock shall be signed by the Chairman of the Board, or one of
the Co-Chairmen, if so elected by the Board, or the President or a Vice
President and the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary or the Treasurer or an
Assistant Treasurer and sealed with the seal of the Corporation; provided,
however, that such seal may be a facsimile engraved or printed. The signatures
of the officers upon a certificate may be facsimiles engraved or printed if the
certificate is countersigned by a Transfer Agent or registered by a Registrar
other than the Corporation itself or its employee. In case any officer who has
signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon the certificate shall
have ceased to be such officer before such certificate is issued, it may be
issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if he were such officer at the
date of issue.

     5.2. Transfers of Shares. Shares shall be transferable only on the books of
the Corporation by the holder thereof, or by his attorney thereunto duly
authorized by power of attorney duly executed and filed with the Secretary of
the Corporation or the Transfer Agent thereof, and upon the surrender of the
certificate or certificates for such shares properly endorsed. No transfers of
shares shall be valid as against the Corporation, its shareholders and creditors
for any purpose, except to render the transferee liable for the debts of the
Corporation to the extent provided by law, until it shall have been entered on
the books of the Corporation by an entry showing from and to whom transferred.

     5.3. Lost, Destroyed or Stolen Certificates. The Corporation may issue a
new certificate representing shares of stock of the Corporation in the place of
any certificate theretofore issued by it alleged to have been lost, destroyed or
stolen. The Board may, in its discretion, as a condition to the issue of any
such new certificate, require the owner of the lost, destroyed or stolen
certificate, or his legal representative, to make proof satisfactory to the
Board of the loss, destruction or theft thereof and to give the Corporation a
bond in such sum, and with such surety or sureties as the Board may direct
sufficient to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made
against it on account of the alleged loss, destruction or theft of any such
certificate or the issuance of any such new certificate.

     5.4. Fixing, Record Date. For the purpose of determining the shareholders
entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of shareholders or any
adjournment thereof, or to express consent to or dissent from any proposal
without a meeting, or for the purposes of determining shareholders entitled to
receive payment of any dividend or the allotment of any rights, or for the
purpose of any other action, the Board may fix, in advance, a date as the record
date for any such determination of shareholders. Such date shall not be more
than fifty nor less than ten days before the date of such meeting, nor more than
fifty days prior

                                      A-6
<PAGE>


to any other action. When a determination of shareholders of record entitled to
notice of or to vote at any meeting of shareholders has been made as provided
in this section, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof,
unless the Board fixes a new record date under this section for the adjourned
meeting.


                                   ARTICLE VI

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

SECTION:

     6.1. Reserves. In its absolute discretion, the Board may, from its earned
surplus or capital surplus, create reserves in such amount or amounts for any
proper purpose or purposes which the Board may think conducive to the best
interests of the Corporation and may increase, decrease or abolish any such
reserve.

     6.2. Seal. The corporate seal shall be in the form of a circle and shall
bear the full name of the Corporation, the year of its organization, and the
words "Corporate Seal N.Y." or words and figures of similar import. In lieu of
the corporate seal, when so authorized by the Board, facsimiles thereof may be
impressed or affixed or reproduced.

     6.3. Fiscal Year. The Board may determine the Corporation's fiscal year.
Until changed by the Board, the Corporation's fiscal year shall commence on
August 1 and terminate at the close of business on July 31.

     6.4. Definitions.

          (a) Certificate of Incorporation shall mean the certificate of
     incorporation of the Corporation, as amended, supplemented or restated by
     certificate of amendment, merger or consolidation or other certificates or
     instruments filed or issued under any statute, from time to time.

          (b) The words "entire board" mean the total number of directors which
     the Corporation would have if there were no vacancies.


                                   ARTICLE VII

                    INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

SECTION:

     7.1. Except to the extent expressly prohibited by the New York Business
Corporation Law, the Corporation shall indemnify each person made, or threatened
to be made, a party to any action or proceeding, whether criminal or civil, by
reason of the fact that such person or such person's testator or intestate is or
was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving, in any
capacity, at the request of the Corporation, any other corporation, or any
partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise,
against judgments, fines, penalties, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable
expenses, including attorneys' fees and expenses, reasonably incurred in
enforcing such person's right to indemnification, incurred in connection with
such action or proceeding, or any appeal therein, provided that no such
indemnification shall be made if a judgment or other final adjudication adverse
to such person establishes that such person's acts were committed in bad faith
or were the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and were material to the
cause of action so adjudicated, or that such person personally gained in fact a
financial profit or other advantage to which such person was not legally
entitled, and provided further that no such indemnification shall be required
with respect to any settlement or other nonadjudicated disposition of any
threatened or pending action or proceeding unless the Corporation has given its
prior consent to such settlement or other disposition.

                                      A-7
<PAGE>


     7.2. The Corporation shall advance or promptly reimburse upon request any
person entitled to indemnification hereunder for all reasonable expenses,
including attorneys' fees and expenses, reasonably incurred in defending any
action or proceeding in advance of the final disposition thereof upon receipt of
an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay such amount if such
person is ultimately found not to be entitled to indemnification or, where
indemnification is granted, to the extent the expenses so advanced or reimbursed
exceed the amount to which such person is entitled; provided, however, that such
person shall cooperate in good faith with any request by the Corporation that
common counsel be used by the parties to an action or proceeding who are
similarly situated unless to do so would be inappropriate due to actual or
potential differing interests between or among such parties.

     7.3. Nothing herein shall limit or affect any right of any director,
officer or other corporate personnel otherwise than hereunder to indemnification
of expenses, including attorneys' fees, under any statute, rule, regulation,
certificate of incorporation, by-law, insurance policy, contract or otherwise;
without affecting or limiting the rights of any director, officer or other
corporate personnel pursuant to this Article VII, the Corporation is authorized
to enter into agreements with any of its directors, officers or other corporate
personnel extending rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

     7.4. Anything in these by-laws to the contrary notwithstanding, no
elimination or amendment of this Article VII adversely affecting the right of
any person to indemnification or advancement of expenses hereunder shall be
effective until the 60th day following notice to such person of such action, and
no elimination of or amendment to this Article VII shall deprive any such
person's rights hereunder arising out of alleged or actual occurrences, acts or
failures to act prior to such 60th day.

     7.5. The Corporation shall not, except by elimination or amendment of this
Article VII in a manner consistent with the preceding Section 7.4, take any
corporate action or enter into any agreement which prohibits, or otherwise
limits the rights of any person to, indemnification in accordance with the
provisions of this Article VII. The indemnification of any person provided by
this Article VII shall continue after such person has ceased to be a director or
officer of the Corporation and shall inure to the benefit of such person's
heirs, executors, administrators and legal representatives.

     7.6. In case any provision in this Article VII shall be determined at any
time to be unenforceable in any respect, the other provisions of this Article
VII shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, and the affected
provision shall be given the fullest possible enforcement in the circumstances,
it being the intention of the Corporation to afford indemnification and
advancement of expenses to its directors or officers, acting in such capacities
or in the other capacities mentioned herein, to the fullest extent permitted by
law.


                                  ARTICLE VIII

                                   AMENDMENTS

SECTION:

     8.1. Amendments. By-laws may be amended, repealed or adopted by the
shareholders or by a majority of the entire Board, but any by-law adopted by the
Board may be amended or repealed by the shareholders. If any by-law regulating
an impending election of directors is adopted, amended or repealed by the Board,
the notice of the next meeting of shareholders for the election of directors
shall set forth the by-law so adopted, amended or repealed, together with a
concise statement of the changes made.

J.W. MAYS, INC.

To Our Shareholders:
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     In the current year, the financial results of the Company continue to be
adversely affected by the loss in fiscal 1994 of two major tenants. On the
positive side, the Company has leased to two retail tenants 50,000 sq. ft. of
the 99,000 sq. ft. surrendered by a former lessee in the Jowein Building located
in the Fulton Mall in downtown Brooklyn, New York. It has also leased 25,000 sq.
ft. of the 100,000 sq. ft. vacated by a former tenant in the Fishkill, New York
property. The rent income from these new leases will substantially offset the
loss in rent from the aforesaid two major tenants.

     The leases for the Brooklyn tenants are scheduled to commence during the
month of November, 1995 and the lease for the space in the Fishkill property is
anticipated to commence in December, 1995.

     For the fiscal year ended July 31, 1995, our Company reported a loss of
$372,039, or $.17 per share, consisting of a loss from operations of $393,808,
or $.18 per share, reduced by the cumulative effect of the change in accounting
for certain investments in debt and equity securities of $21,769, or $.01 per
share. There was no comparable item in the 1994 twelve month period.

     In the comparable 1994 twelve month period, the loss amounted to $307,466,
or $.15 per share, consisting of a loss from operations of $32,466, or $.02 per
share, and the cumulative effect of a change in accounting for income taxes of
$275,000, or $.13 per share. The operating loss included a bad debt amounting to
$708,673 arising from a pre-bankruptcy petition claim and a court approved lease
rejection granted to one of the major tenants referred to above. There were no
comparable items in the 1995 fiscal year.

     As previously announced, at the Board of Directors' meeting held May 24,
1995, Max L. Shulman, then Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company,
vacated the position of Chief Executive Officer effective June 1, 1995. He was
elected Co-Chairman of the Board of Directors and continues as a director and as
an employee of the Company.

     Lloyd J. Shulman, at the same directors' meeting, effective June 1, 1995,
was elected Co-Chairman of the Board of Directors and also assumed the position
of Chief Executive Officer. He will continue as President and Chief Operating
Officer and as a director of the Company.

     We have confidence in our ability to face the current issues in the real
estate industry. To you, our shareholders, we extend our appreciation for your
support. With our newly signed leases and through the efforts of our dedicated
employees, we look forward to being able to report a profitable 1996 fiscal
year.

Sincerely,

Signature

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Summary of significant accounting policies:

     CONSOLIDATION: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of the Company and its subsidiaries, which are wholly owned. Material
intercompany items have been eliminated in consolidation.

     RENTAL INCOME: 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
to be 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.

     MARKETABLE SECURITIES--OTHER INVESTMENTS: Effective August 1, 1994, the
Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting
for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" ("FAS 115"). FAS 115
requires certain securities to be categorized 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 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.

     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 shorter of the life of the lease or the estimated useful life of the
improvements. Lives used to determine depreciation and amortization are
generally as follows:

   Building and improvements .................................  18-40 years
   Improvements to leased property ...........................   3-40 years
   Fixtures and equipment ....................................   7-12 years
   Other .....................................................    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. 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.

     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 using the straight-line method.

     INCOME TAXES: Effective August 1, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("FAS
109"). The adoption of FAS 109 changes the Company's method of accounting for
income taxes from the deferred method previously used under APB Opinion No. 11
to an asset and liability approach. This approach requires the recognition of
deferred tax assets and liabilities with respect to the expected future tax
consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company's financial
statements and income tax returns. As permitted by FAS 109, the Company has
elected not to restate prior years' consolidated financial statements.

     INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK: Income (loss) per share has been
computed by dividing net income or loss 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 or (loss) per share
were 2,136,397 in fiscal 1995, 2,137,440 in fiscal 1994 and 2,171,124 in fiscal
1993.

     At July 31, 1994, marketable securities consisted of $120,010 of
certificates of deposit, $2,387,548 of debt securities and $2,289,220 of equity
securities, and the aggregate cost of debt and equity securities exceeded the
aggregate market value by $31,769.

     Effective August 1, 1994, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
Equity Securities" ("FAS 115"). The impact of adopting FAS 115 was to increase
shareholders' equity, net of taxes, by $28,010 at July 31, 1995 representing
unrealized gain on available for sale securities, net of taxes. Gains from sales
of available for sale securities were $13,643. The cost of marketable securities
sold is determined by the specific identification method.

     Investment income consists of the following:

 * In fiscal 1964 the Company entered into a deferred compensation agreement
   with its then Chairman of the Board. This agreement, as amended, provides for
   the $520,000 to be paid in monthly installments of $8,666.67 for a period of
   60 months, payable upon the expiration of his employment, retirement or
   permanent disability as defined in the agreement, or death.

** Does not include two irrevocable letters of credit totaling $370,000 provided

5. Income Taxes:

     Effective August 1, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109--Accounting for Income Taxes ("FAS 109").

     The adoption of FAS 109 resulted in a cumulative adjustment which decreased
the earnings for the fiscal 1994 first quarter and the year ended July 31, 1994
by $275,000. Significant components of the Company's deferred tax assets and
liabilities as of July 31, 1995 and 1994, are a result of temporary differences
related to the items described as follows:

     The Company has determined, based on its history of operating earnings and
expectations for the future, that it is more likely than not that future taxable
income will be sufficient to fully utilize the deferred tax assets at July 31,
1995, except for investment tax credit carryforwards, for which a 100% valuation
allowance has been provided.

     As a result of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, a separate parallel tax system,
Alternative Minimum Tax ("AMT"), was created. AMT is calculated separately from
the regular Federal income tax and is based on a flat rate applied to a base
which is broader than the regular tax base. The higher of the two taxes is paid.
The excess of the AMT over regular tax is a tax credit, which can be carried
forward indefinitely to reduce regular tax liabilities of future years. The
Company was subject to AMT in 1993 and 1989 in the amounts of $23,000 and
$230,000, respectively.

     At July 31, 1995, the Company had tax net operating loss carryforwards of
$5,865,000 available to offset future regular taxable income. Of this amount
$1,210,000 is available until the year 2003, $2,057,000 until 2005, $1,028,000
until 2006, $175,000 until 2009 and $1,395,000 in 2010.

     Although the Tax Reform Act of 1986 eliminated investment tax credit for
non-transitional property placed in service after December 31, 1985, the Company
has investment tax credit carryforwards of $117,000 that expire as follows:
$75,000 in 1996, $15,000 in 1997, $2,000 in 1998, $16,000 in 1999 and $9,000 in
2000.

6. 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 term, range from 2 years to 21 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 non-capitalized real and personal property for the three
fiscal years ended July 31, 1995 was exceeded by sublease rental income, as
follows:

                                       1995           1994           1993

                                    ==========     ==========     ==========

     Rent payments for operating leases include $141,300 for fiscal 1995 and
$121,800 for each of the fiscal years 1994 and 1993, representing rentals with
affiliated companies.

9. Payable to Securities Broker:

     The Company borrowed funds, payable on demand, from a securities broker.
The loan balance at July 31, 1995 in the amount of $1,225,100, secured by the
Company's marketable securities, accrues interest, which at July 31, 1995, was
at the annual rate of 81 1/4%.

10. Employees' Retirement Plan:

     The Company sponsors a noncontributory Money Purchase Plan covering
substantially all of its employees. Operations were charged $137,474, $125,750,
and $71,288 as contributions to the Plan for fiscal 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively.

11. Financial instruments and credit risk concentrations:

     Financial instruments that are potentially subject to concentrations of
credit risk consist principally of marketable securities--other investments,
cash equivalents and receivables. Marketable securities--other investments and
cash equivalents are placed with high credit quality financial institutions and
instruments to minimize risk.

     The Company derives rental income from twenty-three tenants, of which three
tenants each accounted for more than 10% of rental income during the year end as
of July 31, 1995. The City of New York is one of the three tenants and the other
two tenants are 510 Fulton Street Realty Association and its related 168-21
Jamaica Avenue Store Corporation, the owners of which are long established in
business.

     McCrory Stores Corporation ("McCrory"), which occupied space in the Fulton
Mall in downtown Brooklyn, New York, and whose lease extended to April 29, 2010
and accounted for approximately 14% of the 1993 annual rental income of the
Company, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection from creditors on February
26, 1992. McCrory made application to the United States Bankruptcy Court for
authorization to reject the lease agreement, as amended, between the Company, as
landlord, and McCrory, as tenant, effective as of January 31, 1994. The United
States Bankruptcy Court authorized McCrory to reject such lease agreement
effective January 31, 1994 by order signed on January 21, 1994. The Company has
filed a Proof of Claim with the United States Bankruptcy Court, Southern
District of New York in the total amount of $7,753,732 which amount includes
$7,667,082 for damages arising from the rejection of the lease and $86,650 for
pre-petition rental obligations. The Company has not included this claim in its
financial statements due to the uncertainty of the ultimate court determined
amount. McCrory has not as yet filed a Plan of Reorganization with the
Bankruptcy Court. The Company has leased 50,000 square feet of the 99,000 square
feet of space surrendered by McCrory.

     Jamesway Corporation, which occupies retail space in the Fishkill, New York
property and accounts for approximately 6% of the annual rental income of the
Company, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection from creditors on July 19,
1993. On December 22, 1993, conditioned upon Jamesway not rejecting the lease,
the Company granted Jamesway a $250,000 cumulative reduction of the fixed rent
for the period between February 1, 1994 and January 31, 1997. On December 8,
1994, as an additional inducement for Jamesway to assume the lease, the lease
was further modified by reducing the original expiration date of the lease from
January 31, 2009 to January 31, 2005, granting Jamesway a four-year option
period to expire January 31, 2009 at an increased rental during such extension
period and requiring the payment of the amount of $26,211 to cure its monetary

default. On December 29, 1994 an order was signed by the Judge of the United
States Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York approving the assumption
of the modified lease by Jamesway and ordering Jamesway to cure its monetary
default in the amount of $26,211 by paying such amount in cash within ten (10)
days from the entry of the Order. The amount has been paid. Jamesway emerged
from bankruptcy on January 28, 1995. Of the $250,000 cumulative reduction in the
fixed rent, Jamesway applied $75,000 through July 31, 1994, $125,000 for fiscal
1995 and the balance of $50,000 will be applied through January 31, 1997.

     The Company in 1991 changed its method of recognizing rental income
revenues under lease arrangements to comply with the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 13, "Accounting for Leases", and since 1991
includes scheduled minimum lease payments in income on a straight-line basis.
Consequently, of the above $250,000 cumulative reduction in the fixed rent,
$53,192 has been reflected as a reduction of rental income through July 31,
1994, $23,022 has been reflected for the fiscal year ended July 31, 1995 and the
balance of $173,786 will be reflected as a reduction of rental income
thereafter.

     The lease with IBM, a tenant in Fishkill, New York, expired on March 31,
1994. The IBM lease previously accounted for approximately 8% of the annual
rental income of the Company. The Company has leased 25,000 square feet of the
100,000 square feet of space vacated

12. Cash flow information:

     For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers cash
equivalents to consist of short-term highly liquid investments with maturities
of three months or less, which are readily convertible into cash.

     Supplemental disclosure:

                                                 Years Ended July 31,
                                        ------------------------------------

    Income taxes paid ............      $ 84,407      $180,903      $139,715

13. Financial Accounting Standards No. 121:

     In May 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Standards No. 121 ("FAS 121"), "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of", effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. FAS 121 requires the recognition
of an impairment loss related to long-lived assets and certain identifiable
intangibles whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company believes that
the adoption of the new accounting standard will not have any effect on the
consolidated financial statements.

14. Settlement of Condemnation of Company Property:

     The City of New York (the "City"), by condemnation for the Metro Tech Urban
Renewal Area, took title in fiscal year 1989 to the Company's garage at 160
Duffield Street, its warehouse at 366-372 Gold Street, its vacant lot at 185-87
Duffield Street and its parking lot at 125 Willoughby Street, all in Brooklyn.
The Company contested as inadequate the amounts received from the City as
consideration for the properties.

     In the quarter ended January 31, 1993, a settlement was reached with the
City and accepted by the Court which increased the amount of the award from
$2,862,000 to $3,600,000, plus interest at the rate of 6% per annum from the
date that the City took title to each of the properties to the date of payment.
The pre-tax gain, less applicable expenses, of $639,048 on the additional award
plus interest income of $116,365, had been reflected in the 1993 Consolidated
Financial Statements.

                                                                              15

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

15. Commitments and 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 Consolidated Financial Statements.

     The construction in progress relating to the Jowein Building will be
completed in October 1995 at an additional cost of approximately $800,000 using
the proceeds of the loan facility discussed in Note 16 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements. 

16. Subsequent Events:

    (a) On August 17, 1995 the Company entered into an agreement with a bank
wherein the bank approved a $1,500,000 loan facility for the Company to use to
fund building construction/renovation costs to accommodate tenants under lease.
The overall term of the facility is five years with a one year line of credit,
to be taken down as needed. The initial twelve month period is to be on an
interest only basis, payable monthly, with the principal balance outstanding to
be converted to a four year fully amortizing term loan, payable with monthly
payments to be first applied to the payment of interest, and second, to the
payment of the principal indebtedness. The interest rate for advances under the
line and the term loan will be the bank's prime rate of interest on a floating
basis. The leases between the Company and two of its tenants in the Brooklyn
(Jowein Building) renovated area have been assigned to the bank as collateral
for the loan. There is no prepayment penalty for early payoff of the loan. The
Company has taken down $400,000 as of the date of this report.

    (b) Jamesway Corporation, which occupies retail space in the Fishkill, New
York property and is expected to account for approximately 5.2% of the annual
rental income of the Company for the fiscal year ending July 31, 1996, filed
for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection from creditors on October 18, 1995.
Jamesway has not expressed its intentions relating to such property and the
Company is unable to determine the effect, if any, of such filing on its
operations.

Report of Independent Accountants

The Board of Directors
J.W. MAYS, INC.

     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of J.W. Mays,
Inc. and its subsidiaries as of July 31, 1995 and 1994 and the related
consolidated statements of operations and retained earnings, and cash flows for
each of the years in the three-year period ended July 31, 1995. These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

     In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of J.W. Mays,
Inc. and its subsidiaries as at July 31, 1995 and 1994 and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period
ended July 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fiscal 1995 Compared to Fiscal 1994

     Operations for the fiscal year ended July 31, 1995 resulted in an after tax
net loss of $393,808, or $.18 per share, compared to an after tax net loss of
$32,466, or $.02 per share, after the write-off of a bad debt amounting to
$708,673, discussed below, in the 1994 fiscal year.

     The excess of the scheduled rental income of McCrory, recognized on a
straight-line basis over rental income reported through January 31, 1994, the
effective date of McCrory's rejection of its lease, amounted to $622,023 which,
together with the pre-petition claim of $86,650, were written off as a bad debt
and reported as an administrative expense in fiscal 1994.

     In the twelve months ended July 31, 1995, the Company reported an overall
net loss in the amount of $372,039, or $.17 per share, after the cumulative
effect (an increase of income) of a change in accounting for certain investments
in debt and equity securities, in the amount of $21,769, or $.01 per share.
There was no comparable item in the 1994 fiscal year. The overall net loss for
the 1994 twelve month period amounted to $307,466, or $.15 per share, after a
charge for the cumulative effect of a change in accounting for income taxes of
$275,000, or $.13 per share. There was no comparable item in the 1995 fiscal
year.

     Rental income in the current year decreased to $8,330,182 from $9,522,528
in the 1994 twelve months, primarily due to the loss of two tenants and the
concession of rent for another tenant (See Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements), partially offset by rental income from a new tenant.

     Real estate operating expenses decreased to $5,580,161 in the current year
from $5,611,835 in the 1994 twelve months principally due to decreased real
estate taxes, maintenance costs, and fuel, partially offset by an increase in
insurance expense and electricity.

     Administrative and general expenses decreased to $2,157,610 in the 1995
fiscal year from $2,840,030 in the 1994 twelve month period, principally due to
the recording of the bad debt in 1994 discussed above, and a reduction of legal
and professional expenses.

     Depreciation and amortization expense in the current year increased to
$838,063 from $822,727 in the 1994 twelve month period because of additional
improvements to property.

     Interest expense exceeded investment income by $274,156 in the current year
and by $212,402 in the twelve months ended July 31, 1994 primarily due to the
increased interest on the broker loan discussed in Note 9 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements.

Fiscal 1994 Compared to Fiscal 1993

     For the twelve months ended July 31, 1994 the Company had a net loss of
$307,466, or $.15 per share, consisting of a loss from operations of $32,466, or
$.02 per share, and the cumulative effect of a change in accounting for income
taxes of $275,000, or $.13 per share. The operating loss resulted after the
write-off of a bad debt amounting to $708,673 referred to below. The Company
reports scheduled rental income recognized on a straight-line basis rather than
rental income as it becomes a receivable according to the provisions of the
lease, in compliance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 13, "Accounting for Leases". The excess of the scheduled rental
income of McCrory, recognized on a straight-line basis over rental income
reported through January 31, 1994, the effective date of McCrory's rejection of
its lease, amounted to $622,023, which, together with the pre-petition claim of
$86,650 were written off and classified as a bad debt.

     In the comparable 1993 twelve month period, income from operations
including a gain on a condemnation award, less applicable expenses, of $639,048
(See Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements), amounted to $1,463,930,
or $.67 per share, while the overall net income amounted to $2,172,930, or $1.00
per share, after an extraordinary credit of $709,000, or $.33 per share, arising
from the utilization of a net operating loss carryforward.

     Rental income for the 1994 fiscal year decreased to $9,522,528 from
$10,029,444 in the 1993 fiscal year, principally due to the loss of two tenants
and a concession of rent for another tenant (See Note 11 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements), partially offset by rental income from property purchased
in December, 1992 in Ohio and a settlement of a claim against a tenant.

<PAGE>

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Real estate operating expenses increased by $103,295 principally due to an
increase in insurance expense of $20,221, maintenance expense of $102,286,
electricity of $26,903 and fuel, water and sewage of $20,179, partially offset
by a decrease in real estate taxes of $39,579.

     Administrative and general expenses increased to $2,840,030 from $2,074,774
principally due to the bad debt of $708,673 discussed above, an increase in
legal and professional expense of $44,270 which amount includes legal expenses
incurred in settling a claim against a tenant which resulted in the additional
rent received referred to above and pension expense of $48,336 partially offset
by a write-off of a 1993 nonrecurring bad debt amounting to $22,285 relating to
a tenant vacating certain premises.

     Investment income decreased to $384,545 from $562,447 in the earlier year,
principally due to the use of funds to acquire the property in Circleville, Ohio
on December 23, 1992, generally lower interest rates on investments and the use
of funds for operations. The 1993 figures include interest income of $116,365 on
the condemnation award discussed above. There is no comparable item in the 1994
year.

     Interest expense increased to $596,947 from $564,649 in 1993 because of the
financing of the Ohio property described in Note 3(c) to the Consolidated
Financial Statements, partially offset by a reduction of long-term debt.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company has been operating as a real estate enterprise since the
discontinuance of the retail department store segment of its operations on
January 3, 1989.

     The leasing of 50,000 square feet of space in the Jowein Building located
in the Fulton Mall in downtown Brooklyn, New York to two chain store tenants for
retail space and the leasing of 25,000 square feet to the U.S. Post Office in
Fishkill, New York will provide additional working capital for the Company. The
term of the Brooklyn leases will commence in November, 1995 and the term of the
Fishkill lease will commence in December, 1995. (See Note 11 to Consolidated
Financial Statements).

     Negotiations are in progress to lease available office and retail space of
approximately 645,000 square feet in the Company's buildings in Brooklyn,
Jamaica and Fishkill, New York. The Company is confident that the rate at which
space is leased will accelerate, resulting in an increase in rental income and
improvement in cash flow and net income.

     On August 17, 1995 the Company entered into an agreement with a bank
wherein the bank approved a $1,500,000 loan facility for the Company to use to
fund building construction/renovation costs to accommodate tenants under lease.
The Company has taken down $400,000 as of the date of this report. (See Note 16
to Consolidated Financial Statements).

     To further improve the Company's cash position, on October 28, 1994, the
existing first mortgage loan balance on the Fishkill property was paid down by a
$200,000 payment and the due date of the mortgage loan was extended for a period
of five years to mature November 1, 1999. The annual interest rate was reduced
from 10% to 9% and the principal payments are made in constant monthly amounts
based upon a fifteen year payout period.

     The Company had working capital of $2,478,431 with a ratio of current
assets to current liabilities of 2.1 to 1 at July 31, 1995.

     Management considers current working capital and borrowing capabilities
adequate to cover the Company's planned operating and capital requirements.

                                                                              19
