THE COMPANY
================================================================================

     J.W. Mays, Inc. was founded in 1924 and incorporated under the laws of the
State of New York on July 6, 1927.

     The Company operates a number of commercial real estate properties located
in Brooklyn and Jamaica in New York City, in Levittown, Long Island, New York,
in Fishkill, Dutchess County, New York and in Circleville, Ohio. The major
portion of these properties is owned and the balance is leased. A substantial
percentage of these properties is leased to tenants while the remainder is
available for lease.

     More comprehensive information concerning the Company appears in its Form
10-K Annual Report for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2000.

TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS:
================================================================================

     In last year's letter to shareholders, we reported a continued improvement
in the Company's financial position with profits in each of the four quarters.
It is gratifying that we are able to do so again this year.

     In fiscal 2000, our revenues were $10,864,565 compared to $10,661,297 in
the 1999 fiscal year. Net income for fiscal 2000 was $1,065,938, or $.50 per
share. This compares to fiscal 1999 net income of $1,163,822, or $.54 per share.
The shareholders' equity increased to $31,802,995 at July 31, 2000 from
$31,067,438 at July 31, 1999.

     We leased 11,200 square feet of office space to the State of New York which
space is contiguous to the existing office space occupied by the State in the
Company's Jamaica, New York property. Rent for the additional space commenced
September 1, 2000.

     The new lobby entrance in the 9-17 Bond Street building, a part of the
Company's former Brooklyn, New York store, has been completed. The new lobby
will provide separate access to the upper floors for prospective large user
tenants through two high-speed elevators.

     In fiscal 2000, we extended the mortgage on the Jowein building in
Brooklyn, New York, effective April 1, 2000, for a period of five years, at the
same interest rate. The mortgage loan is self-amortizing.

     The Company has agreed, in principle, to the terms of a bank commitment
letter for a construction loan to be converted to a term loan, in the principal
amount of $3,500,000, to cover the cost of capital improvements in connection
with a lease signed by the Company with the State of New York, which lease is
awaiting final documentation from the State, for 42,250 square feet of office
space in the Company's Jamaica, New York property. Occupancy is anticipated to
commence on or about August 1, 2001.

     We are continuing to solicit prospective tenants for the available space in
each of the Company's locations.

     Because of adequate preparation, Y2K turned out to be a non-event as we
transitioned into Year 2000 without any Y2K issues.

     In August, 2000, your Board appointed Mark Greenblatt to the position of
Vice President, Assistant Treasurer and Controller. Mark has served as our
Company's Assistant Treasurer and Controller since November, 1987.

     Our thanks go to our employees for their continued hard work and to our
Board of Directors for their support. I am confident and convinced that we are
on the right track for continued growth.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

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

     ACCOUNTING RECORDS AND USE OF ESTIMATES: The accounting records are
maintained in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP").
The preparation of the Company's financial statements in accordance with GAAP
requires management to make estimates that affect the reported consolidated
statements of income and retained earnings, comprehensive income and the
consolidated balance sheets and related disclosures. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.

     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
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: The Company categorizes marketable securities as
either trading, available-for-sale or held-to-maturity. Trading securities are
carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in income.
Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value with unrealized gains
and losses recorded as a separate component of shareholders' equity.
Held-to-maturity securities are carried at amortized cost. Dividends and
interest income are accrued as earned. Realized gains and losses are determined
on a specific identification basis.

     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. Interest is capitalized in connection with the
construction/renovations of real property. The capitalized interest is recorded
as part of the asset to which it relates and is amortized over the asset's
estimated useful life.

     COMPREHENSIVE INCOME: In June 1997, SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
Income", ("SFAS 130") was issued. SFAS 130 establishes standards for the
reporting of comprehensive income and its components. It requires all items that
are required to be recognized as components of comprehensive income be reported
in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other
income statement information. SFAS 130 is effective for financial statements for
periods beginning after December 15, 1997. Reclassification of financial
statements for earlier periods presented for comparative purposes was required
upon adoption.

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

     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: Deferred income taxes are provided for the temporary
differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the
Company's assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets result principally from
the recording of certain accruals and reserves which currently are not
deductible for tax purposes. Deferred tax liabilities result principally from
temporary differences in the recognition of gains and losses from certain
investments and from the use, for tax purposes, of accelerated depreciation.

     INCOME PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK: Income per share has been computed by
dividing net income for the year by the weighted average number of shares of
common stock outstanding during the year, adjusted for the purchase of treasury
stock. Shares used in computing income per share were 2,118,908 in fiscal 2000
and 2,135,780 in fiscals 1999 and 1998. The Company's adoption of FASB 128
"Earnings per Share" has had no effect on the computation of previously reported
earnings per share.

     RECLASSIFICATIONS: Certain accounts for the year ended July 31, 1998 have
been reclassified to reflect comparability with account classifications adopted
for the year ended July 31, 2000 with no effect on previously reported net
income.

2.   MARKETABLE SECURITIES:

     As of July 31, 2000 and 1999, the Company's marketable securities were
classified as follows:

      (a) The Company, on September 11, 1996, closed a loan with a bank in the
amount of $4,000,000. The loan is secured by a first mortgage lien covering the
entire leasehold interest of the Company, as tenant, in a certain ground lease
and building in the Jamaica property. The interest rate on the loan is 81 @2%
for a period of five (5) years and six (6) months, with such rate to change on
the first day of the sixty-seventh (67th) month of the term to a rate equal to
the then prime rate plus 1 @4%, fixed for the balance of the term. The loan is
to become due and payable on the first day of the month following the expiration
of ten (10) years and six (6) months from the closing date.

     (b) Mortgage is held by an affiliated corporation owned by members,
including certain directors of the Company, of the family of the late Joe
Weinstein, former Chairman of the Board of Directors. Interest and amortization
of principal are paid quarterly. Effective April 1, 2000, the maturity date of
the mortgage, which was scheduled to be on March 31, 2000, was extended to March
31, 2005. The interest rate remained at 9%. During the extended period the
constant quarterly payments of interest and principal increased from $37,263 to
$38,044. The mortgage loan is self-amortizing.

     (c) On June 2, 1999, the existing first mortgage loan balance on the
Fishkill property was extended for a period of five years. The annual interest
rate was reduced from 9% to 81 @4% and the interest and principal payments are
to be made in constant monthly amounts based upon a fifteen (15) year payout
period.

     (d) The mortgage loan, which is self-amortizing, matures September 30,
2002. The loan is payable at an annual interest rate of 7%. Under the terms of
the loan, constant monthly payments, including interest and principal, are
currently in the amount of $36,540.

     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,
2000, except for investment tax credit carryforwards, for which a 100% valuation
allowance was provided. The valuation allowance was reduced by $9,171 in fiscal
2000 and $15,820 in fiscal 1999, due to the expiration of investment tax credit
carryforwards.

     Income taxes provided for the years ended July 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998
consists of the following:

     The Company's fiscal 2000 and fiscal 1999 federal income tax liability of
$30,000 and $21,000, respectively, were determined using the Alternative Minimum
Tax ("AMT"), a separate parallel tax system. The excess of the AMT over the
regular tax is a credit which can be carried forward indefinitely to reduce
future regular tax liabilities. The Company has additional AMT credits from
prior years totaling $306,000 resulting in total AMT credits of $357,000 at July
31, 2000.

     At July 31, 2000, the Company had net operating tax loss carryforwards of
$748,000 available to offset future regular taxable income. Of this amount
$326,000 is available until the year 2010 and $422,000 until 2011.

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 1 year to 27 years. Certain of the leases provide
for additional rentals under certain circumstances and obligate the Company for
payments of real estate taxes and other expenses.

     Rental expense for leased real property for each of the three fiscal years
ended July 31, 2000 was exceeded by sublease rental income, as follows:

     Supplemental disclosure:

                                               Years Ended July 31,

11. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND CREDIT RISK CONCENTRATIONS:

     The following disclosure of estimated fair value was determined by the
Company, using available market information and appropriate valuation methods.
Considerable judgment is necessary to develop estimates of fair value. The
estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that
could be realized upon disposition of the financial instruments.

     The Company estimates the fair value of its financial instruments using the
following methods and assumptions: (i) quoted market prices, when available, are
used to estimate the fair value of investments in marketable debt and equity
securities; (ii) discounted cash flow analyses are used to estimate the fair
value of long-term debt, using the Company's estimate of current interest rates
for similar debt; and (iii) carrying amounts in the balance sheet approximate
fair value for cash and cash equivalents and tenant security deposits due to
their high liquidity.

                                                   JULY 31, 2000

    Cash and cash equivalents ...........    $1,529,082       $1,529,082
    Marketable securities ...............    $3,101,455       $3,101,455
    Tenant security deposits ............    $  352,235       $  352,235
    Long-term debt-mortgages payable ....    $7,022,879       $7,009,948

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

     The Company derives rental income from thirty-eight tenants, of which one
tenant accounted for 15.91% of rental income during the year ended July 31,
2000. No other tenant accounted for more than 10% of rental income during the
year ended July 31, 2000.

12. CONTINGENCIES:

     McCrory Stores Corporation ("McCrory"), which occupied space in the
Company's Jowein building in the Fulton Mall in downtown Brooklyn, New York, and
whose lease, as amended, extended to April 29, 2010, filed for relief under
Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in February 1992. McCrory rejected its lease,
as amended, with the Company with the approval of the Bankruptcy Court effective
January 31, 1994. The Company has realized from McCrory $36,602 or 21.53% on
account of its administrative claim of $170,000. The McCrory case has been
closed and the Company has been advised that there will be no further
distribution to creditors.

     Jamesway Corporation ("Jamesway"), which occupied retail space in the
Fishkill, New York property and whose lease extended to January 31, 2005, filed
for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code on October 18, 1995. Jamesway
rejected its lease for the Fishkill location with the approval of the Bankruptcy
Court, effective February 29, 1996, but continued occupancy until March 22,
1996. The Company has realized from Jamesway $465,811 or 49% on account of its
unsecured claim and 100% of its allowed administrative claim of $54,887, for a
total of $520,698. The Company has made no provision in its financial statements
for the balance of its claim filed against Jamesway due to the fact that there
may not be any further distributions.

     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.

13. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:

     The Company has agreed, in principle, to the terms of a commitment letter
with a bank for a loan in the amount of $3,500,000, the loan to be secured by a
second position leasehold mortgage covering the entire leasehold interest of the
Company as tenant in a certain ground lease and building in the Jamaica, New
York, property. The financial statements do not give effect to the commitment
letter. The loan proceeds are to be utilized by the Company toward its costs of
capital improvements of the premises in connection with the Company's lease of a
significant portion of a floor in the building to the State of New York.

     The loan is structured in two phases:

          No. 1--A nine-month second mortgage construction loan with a six-month
     extension option, with interest at a floating prime rate. During this
     period, the Company is to have the option to secure advances against the
     loan amount.

          No. 2--Upon completion of the renovations the construction loan would
     convert to a 10-year second mortgage permanent loan on a 15-year level
     amortization, plus interest, at the option of the Company. The interest
     rate on the permanent loan during the first 5 years is at a fixed rate
     equal to the 5-year treasury note rate plus 2.25%, per annum, set 3 days
     prior to closing, and during the 5-year renewal term, at a fixed rate equal
     to the 5-year treasury note rate, as of the start of the renewal term plus
     2.25%, per annum.

     Payments are to be payable, in arrears, on the first day of each and every
month calculated (a) during the period of the construction loan, interest only,
and (b) during the ten (10) year period of the term loan, at the sum of the
interest rate plus amortization sufficient to fully liquidate the loan over a
fifteen (15) year period. As additional collateral security, the Company will
conditionally assign to the bank all leases and rents on the premises, or
portions thereof, whether now existing or hereafter consummated. The Company has
an option to prepay principal, in whole or in part, plus interest accrued
thereon, at any time during the term, without premium or penalty. Other
provisions of the commitment letter provide certain restrictions on the
incurrence of indebtedness and the sale or transfer of the Company's ground
lease interest in the premises. Both facilities will be subject to the bank's
existing first position mortgage loan on the premises.

     Rent commenced September 1, 2000 for 11,200 square feet of office space,
leased during April, 2000 to the State of New York, which space is contiguous to
space occupied by the State in the Company's Jamaica, New York property.
Renovations will be completed during November, 2000.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FISCAL 2000 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1999

     Net income for the year ended July 31, 2000 amounted to $1,065,938, or $.50
per share, compared to net income for the year ended July 31, 1999 of
$1,163,822, or $.54 per share. The 1999 figures include a bad debt recovery of
$17,115. There was no comparable bad debt recovery in the 2000 year.

     Revenues in the current year increased to $10,864,565 from $10,661,297 in
the comparable 1999 fiscal year.

     Real estate operating expenses in the current year increased to $5,529,850
from $5,312,787 in the comparable 1999 year primarily due to an increase in real
estate taxes, fuel, electric and water and sewer costs, partially offset by a
decrease in maintenance costs.

     Administrative and general expenses in the current year increased to
$2,240,372 from $2,119,558 in the comparable 1999 year primarily due to an
increase in payroll, pension, medical and insurance costs.

     Depreciation and amortization expense in the current year increased to
$1,009,859 from $1,002,733 in the 1999 year.

     Interest expense exceeded investment income by $321,546 in fiscal 2000 and
by $405,512 in the comparable 1999 year. The decrease was due to scheduled
repayments of debt.

FISCAL 1999 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1998

     Net income for the year ended July 31, 1999 amounted to $1,163,822, or $.54
per share, compared to net income for the year ended July 31, 1998 of $1,
837,733, or $.86 per share. The 1998 figures include a pre-tax net recovery of
real estate taxes of $1,218,600 (see below) and a pre-tax bad debt recovery of
$52,749. The 1999 figures include a pre-tax bad debt recovery of $17,115. There
was no comparable pre-tax net recovery of real estate taxes in the 1999 year.

     Revenues in the 1999 year decreased to $10,661,297 from $11,881,859 in the
comparable 1998 fiscal year, primarily due to the pre-tax net recovery of prior
years' real estate taxes of $1,218,600 in the 1998 year.

     The recovery of real estate taxes in the 1998 fiscal year of $1,218,600,
net of legal expenses and credits to tenants in accordance with the terms of
their leases, represents prior years' real estate taxes from the City of New
York and the Town of Fishkill, New York.

     Real estate operating expenses in the 1999 year decreased to $5,312,787
from $5,416,292 in the comparable 1998 year primarily due to a decrease in real
estate taxes, fuel, vault charges, insurance, maintenance, water and sewer costs
and leasing commissions, partially offset by an increase in payroll and licenses
and permits costs.

     Administrative and general expenses in the 1999 year increased to
$2,119,558 from $2,076,614 in the comparable 1998 year primarily due to an
increase in payroll, pension and medical costs, partially offset by a decrease
in insurance and legal and professional costs.

     Depreciation and amortization expenses in the 1999 year decreased to
$1,002,733 from $1,011,318 in the 1998 year.

     Interest expense exceeded investment income by $405,512 in fiscal 1999 and
by $542,651 in the comparable 1998 year. The decrease was primarily due to the
elimination of the loan payable to a securities broker and scheduled repayments
of debt.

     The pre-tax bad debt recovery in the amount of $17,115 in the 1999 year and
$52,749 in the 1998 year relates to prior years' bad debt write-offs from
McCrory and Jamesway.


                                                                              17
