**PART I**

**Item 1. ***Business.***
      J.W. Mays, Inc. (the “Company” or “Registrant”) with executive offices at 9 Bond Street, Brooklyn, New York 11201, operates a number of commercial real estate properties, which are described in Item 2 “Properties”. The Company's business was founded in 1924 and incorporated under the laws of the State of New York on July 6, 1927.

      The Company discontinued its department store business which operated under the name of “MAYS”, in the year ended July 31, 1989, and has continued the leasing of real estate. The Company has no foreign operations.

      The Company employs approximately 30 employees and has a contract, expiring November 30, 2007, with a union covering rates of pay, hours of employment and other conditions of employment for approximately 20% of its employees. The Company considers that its labor relations with its employees and union are good.

**Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements**

      This Annual Report on Form 10-K may contain forward-looking statements which include assumptions about future market conditions, operations and financial results. These statements are based on current expectations and are subject to risks and uncertainties. They are made pursuant to safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company's actual results, performance or achievements in the future could differ significantly from the results, performance or achievements discussed or implied in such forward-looking statements herein and in prior Securities and Exchange Commission filings by the Company. The Company assumes no obligation to update these forward-looking statements or to advise of changes in the assumptions on which they were based.

      Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, changes in the competitive environment of the Company, general economic and business conditions, industry trends, changes in government rules and regulations and environmental rules and regulations. Statements concerning interest rates and other financial instrument fair values and their estimated contribution to the Company's future results of operations are based upon market information as of a specific date. This market information is often a function of significant judgment and estimation. Further, market interest rates are subject to significant volatility.

**Item 1A. ***Risk Factors.***
      **Risks Relating to Ownership Structure**

      The controlling shareholder group may be able to vote its shares in favor of its interests that may not always coincide with the interests of shareholders not part of such group. This risk may be counter-balanced to a degree by the actions of the Board of Directors whose composition is made up of a majority of independent directors.

      The controlling shareholder group includes a corporation that owns a significant percentage of the Company's common stock and which does business with the Company, as further described in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. In theory, this could result in a conflict of interest; nevertheless, the Company and its largest shareholder have put in place some controls to reduce the effects of any perceived conflict of interest.

      Certain conflicts of interest may be perceived by the relationship between the Company and its largest shareholder. Both entities use the same outside auditors, both entities have the same Chief Executive Officer, and certain management personnel work for both entities. Nevertheless, the Company's Board of Directors is composed of a majority of independent directors. As recently as 2005, in a case involving both entities, the Delaware Supreme Court in connection with an attempt to obtain books and records of the Company through a proceeding against the Company's significant shareholder, held that the actions of the Company's Board were proper.

      **Risks Related to Our Business**

      We are a part of the communities in which we do business. Accordingly, like other businesses in our communities, we are subject to the following risks:
•the continued threat of terrorism; •economic downturns, both on a national and on local scales; •loss of key personnel; •the availability, if needed, of additional financing; •the continued availability of insurance (in different types of policies) at reasonably acceptable rates; and •the general burdens of governmental regulation, at the Local, State and Federal levels.
      **Risks Related to Real Estate Operations**

      Our investment in property development may be limited by increasing costs required to “fit up” property to be leased to tenants. Also, as the cost of fitting up properties increases, we may be required to wait and forsake opportunities that would be revenue producing until such time that we obtain the necessary financing of such ventures. This risk may be mitigated by our obtaining of lines of credit and other financing vehicles, although such have significant limitations on the amounts that may be borrowed at any point in time.

      We also may be subject to environmental liability as an owner or operator of properties. Many of our properties are old and when we need to fit up a property for a new tenant, we may find materials and the like that could be deemed to contain hazardous elements requiring remediation or encapsulation.

      There are also risks associated with non-renewals of leases by the Company's landlords and the loss of major tenants. The Company is trying to mitigate the latter by leasing our properties to multiple tenants where applicable in order to diversify the tenant base.

      **Risks Related to our Investments**

      Excess cash and cash equivalents may be invested from time to time. We seek to earn rates of return that will help us finance our business operations. These investments may be subject to significant uncertainties and may not be successful for many reasons, including, but not limited to the following:
•fluctuations in interest rates; •worsening of general economic and market conditions; and •adverse legal and regulatory developments that may affect a particular business.
      **Risk Factors Summary**

      These are some of the “Risk Factors” that could affect the Company's business. The Company endeavors to take actions and do business in a way that reduces these “Risk Factors” or, at least, takes them into account when conducting its business. Nevertheless, some of these “Risk Factors” cannot be avoided so that the Company must also take actions and do business that negates the adverse effects that these may have on the ongoing business of the Company.

    *Brooklyn, New York—Fulton      Street at Bond Street*       13% of the property is leased      by the Company under six separate leases. Expiration dates are as follows:      4/30/2011 (3 leases); 6/30/2011 (1 lease); 12/8/2013 (1 lease) which lease      has two thirty-year renewal options through 12/8/2073; and 4/30/31 (1 lease)      which lease previously had an expiration date of April 30, 2011 and was      extended for an additional twenty years. The Company renovated 13,026 square      feet for office space for a tenant. The work was completed in June 2006.      The Company is adding two new elevators to its lobby at 9 Bond Street. The      work is anticipated to be completed in the spring of 2007. There are plans      to renovate vacant space for office use upon the execution of future leases      to tenants, although no assurances can be made as to when or if such leases      will be entered into.       The property is currently      leased to seventeen tenants of which twelve are retail tenants and five      occupy office space. One tenant occupies in excess of 10% of the rentable      square footage (26.11%). This tenant sub-leases to a flea market, department      store, shoe store, fast food restaurant and various other retail shops.      The lease expires April 30, 2011 with no renewal options. Approximately      88,000 square feet of the building are available for lease.

**Item 7A. ***Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.***
      The Company uses both fixed-rate and variable-rate debt to finance its capital requirements. These transactions expose the Company to market risk related to changes in interest rates. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments. At July 31, 2006, the Company had fixed-rate debt of $7,841,621 and variable rate debt of $6,193,735. Because of the extension of the Fishkill, New York property loan and the Bond Street building, Brooklyn, New York and the Jowein building, Brooklyn, New York loans (presently with balances of $1,834,726, $3,379,009 and $980,000, respectively), if interest rates were to change 100 basis points, the effect on net income from operations and future cash flows would be a decrease, should the rates increase, or an increase, should the rates decline, of $61,937 for these loans.

**Item 9. ***Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.***
      There are no disagreements between the Company and its accountants relating to accounting or financial disclosures.

**Item 9A. ***Controls and Procedures.***
**(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.**

      The Company's management reviewed the Company's internal controls and procedures and the effectiveness of these controls. As of July 31, 2006, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company required to be included in its periodic SEC filings.

**(b) Change to internal controls.**

      There was no change in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting or in other factors during the Company's last fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal controls over financial reporting. There were no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses, and therefore there were no corrective actions taken.

      Our accounting department is comprised of four persons. Due to such a limited number of persons, a complete segregation of all of the duties as to which the department is responsible is not possible. In order to make sure that the inability to segregate all duties does not affect our timely and accurate financial reporting, we need to remain vigilant in maintaining compensating controls. These compensating controls will continue to be monitored in order to assure us that our internal controls over financial reporting remain at a high level despite the limited number of accounting department personnel.
