The Company


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

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

More comprehensive information concerning the Company appears in its Form 10-K Annual Report for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2007.

J.W. MAYS, INC.

To Our Shareholders:


The financial position of our Company continued to be positive during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2007 with profits earned in fiscal 2007.

In fiscal 2007, our revenues were $18,158,702 compared to $13,666,177 in the 2006 fiscal year. Net income for fiscal 2007 was $2,055,939, or $1.02 per share. This compares to net income of $1,433,382, or $.71 per share for fiscal 2006.

During fiscal 2007, the Company leased an additional 116,578 square feet to five tenants at the Company’s properties. Two of the lease agreements were for retail use at the Company’s Jamaica, New York building. One tenant leased 47,100 square feet and the other tenant leased 28,335 square feet. These tenants replaced the tenants who vacated the premises in February 2006 and June 2006, respectively. Rent commenced in November 2006 for the tenant that leased 28,335 square feet and commenced in May 2007 for the tenant that leased 47,100 square feet. The rental income from these lease agreements will more than offset the rental income lost from the previous tenants. Two other lease agreements were for 15,900 square feet and 10,000 square feet and the tenants will occupy the office space at the Company’s Jowein building in Brooklyn, New York. Rent is anticipated to commence in December 2007 for the tenant that leased 15,900 square feet and rent commenced in December 2006 for the tenant that leased 10,000 square feet.

The fifth tenant which entered into a lease agreement is a restaurant at the Company’s Levittown, New York premises. The restaurant will construct a new building and expects to open in fiscal 2008.

In July 2007, the Company sold a small building in Brooklyn, New York for $4,700,000, but will continue to lease the premises until April 30, 2010.

The increased rentals from the additional tenants and the Company’s sale of the building should adequately cover the Company’s planned operating and capital requirements.

We are continuing to actively pursue government agencies, educational institutions and prospective corporate tenants which may be seeking office or retail space in our properties.

I believe our Company is well-positioned to continue its growth, and I want to thank the personnel of Mays and our Board colleagues for their continuing commitment and support.

J.W. MAYS, INC.

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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates 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. The rent expense accrued to a related party is considered a significant estimate and may vary materially from the amount recorded in the financial statements (see note 5).

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. Contingent rental income is recorded when earned and is not based on tenant revenue. Based upon its periodic assessment of the quality of the receivables, management, using its historical knowledge of the tenants and industry experience, determines whether a reserve or write-off is required.

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. The Company reviews marketable securities for impairment whenever circumstances and situations change such that there is an indication that the carrying amounts may not be recovered. The Company did not classify any securities as trading during the three years ended July 31, 2007.

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:

 

 

 

Buildings 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. Capitalized interest is recorded as part of the asset to which it relates and is amortized over the asset’s estimated useful life.

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever circumstances and situations change such that there is an indication that the carrying amounts may not be recovered. At July 31, 2007 and 2006, there were no impairments of its property and equipment.

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME: Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income”, 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.

8




Comprehensive income is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by and distributions to shareholders.

DEFERRED CHARGES: Deferred charges consist principally of costs incurred in connection with the leasing of property to tenants. Such costs are amortized over the related lease periods, ranging from 1 to 21 years, using the straight-line method. The Company has no non-amortizable deferred charges.

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 2,015,780 in fiscal years 2007, 2006 and 2005.

(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, New York property. In March, 2007, the Company extended the loan for five years with an option for an additional five-year period. The interest rate for the initial five years is 6.00% per annum. Interest and amortization of principal will be made in constant monthly amounts based on a fifteen year (15) payout period. The outstanding balance of the loan totaling $1,036,602 will become due and payable on April 1, 2012.

(b) The Company, on December 13, 2000, closed a loan with a bank in the amount of $3,500,000. The loan is 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 outstanding balance of the loan, totaling $2,739,452 became due and payable on October 1, 2006. The Company exercised its option to extend the loan for an additional five (5) years to October 1, 2011. The interest rate for the extended period is 6.81% per annum. At the end of the five year period, there will be a balance due on the loan of $2,077,680.

As additional collateral security, the Company conditionally assigned 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 loan agreement provide certain restrictions on the incurrence of indebtedness on the Jamaica property and the sale or transfer of the Company’s ground lease interest in the premises.

(c) The Company, on May 7, 2004, closed a loan with 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, in the amount of $1,350,000. The term of the loan is for a period of five (5) years at an interest rate of 9.00% per annum. Interest and amortization of principal are paid quarterly based on a fifteen (15) year level amortization period. The constant quarterly payments of interest and principal are $40,316. The outstanding balance of the loan, totaling $1,056,007, will become due and payable on April 1, 2009.

(d) On June 2, 1999, the existing first mortgage loan balance on the Fishkill, New York property was extended for a period of five years. Under the terms of the extension agreement, the annual interest rate was reduced from 9% to 8.25% and the interest and principal payments were made in constant monthly amounts based upon a fifteen (15) year payout period. On August 19, 2004 the Company extended the loan for an additional forty-two (42) months, with an option to convert the loan to a seven (7) year permanent mortgage loan. The payments for the extended period of forty-two (42) months will be interest only on the amount owing at a floating rate per annum equal to the one-month LIBOR rate plus 2.25%, but not less than 3.40%. The payments for the seven-year permanent mortgage loan would be on a seventeen (17) year level amortization, plus interest. The interest rate on the permanent loan would be a fixed rate equal to the Federal Home Loan Bank of New

10



York’s seven-year (7) fixed interest rate plus 2.25% per annum. (See Note 3(e)) The Company intends to convert the loan to a seven (7) year permanent mortgage loan prior to maturity.

(e) The Company, on August 19, 2004, closed a loan with a bank for a $12,000,000 multiple draw term loan. This loan finances seventy-five (75%) percent of the cost of capital improvements for an existing lease to a tenant and capital improvements for future tenant leases at the Company’s Brooklyn, New York (Bond Street building) and Fishkill, New York properties. The loan also refinanced the existing mortgage on the Company’s Fishkill, New York property which matured on July 1, 2004 (see Note 3(d)). The Company will have three and one-half years to draw down amounts under this loan. The loan consists of: a) a permanent, first mortgage loan to refinance an existing first mortgage loan affecting the Fishkill Property (the “First Permanent Loan”) (see Note 3(d)), b) a permanent subordinate mortgage loan in the amount $1,870,000 (the “Second Permanent Loan”), and c) multiple, successively subordinate loans in the amount $8,295,274 (“Subordinate Building Loans”). The loan is structured in two phases: 1) a forty-two month loan with payments of interest only at the floating one-month LIBOR rate plus 2.25% per annum, but not less than 3.40%; and 2) after the forty-two month period, the loan would convert to a seven-year (7) permanent mortgage loan on a seventeen (17) year level amortization, plus interest, at the option of the Company. The interest rate on the permanent loan would be at a fixed rate equal to the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York’s seven-year (7) fixed interest rate plus 2.25% per annum at the time of conversion. As of August 19, 2004, the Company refinanced the existing mortgage on the Company’s Fishkill, New York property, which balance was $1,834,726 and took down an additional $2,820,000 for capital improvements for two tenants at the Company’s Bond Street building in Brooklyn, New York. On May 9, 2006 and November 16, 2006, the Company drew down additional amounts of $559,009 and $315,706, respectively, on its multiple draw term loan to finance tenant improvements and brokerage commissions for the leasing of 13,026 square feet for office use at the Company’s Bond Street building in Brooklyn, New York. The total amount financed for tenant improvements and brokerage commissions will be $916,670. The outstanding balance of the multiple draw term loan as of July 31, 2007 was $5,529,441, which will be used for both the Bond Street and Fishkill properties. The interest rate at July 31, 2007 was 7.57% per annum. The Company intends to convert the loan to a seven (7) year permanent mortgage loan prior to maturity.

(f) On February 18, 2005, the Company secured financing in the amount of $1,700,000, from a bank whose president is a director of the Company. The loan is a multiple draw loan, for a period of five (5) years, and is self-amortizing, at an interest rate of 6.50% per annum.

(g) The Company, on July 22, 2005, closed a loan with a bank for $1,200,000. The loan was used to finance the construction costs and brokerage commissions associated with the leasing of 15,000 square feet for office use to a tenant at the Company’s Jowein building in Brooklyn, New York. The loan is secured by the assignment of lease of 15,000 square feet. The loan is for a period of five (5) years and is self-amortizing, at a floating interest rate of prime plus 1.00% per annum. The interest rate at July 31, 2007 was 9.25% per annum.

Maturities of long-term debt-mortgages and term loan payable outstanding at July 31, 2007, are as follows: Years ending July 31, 2008 (included in current liabilities); $865,158; 2009; $2,061,396; 2010; $943,801; 2011; $426,016; 2012; $3,413,291; and thereafter, $4,709,006.

Interest paid to related parties for the three years ended July 31, 2007 was $107,239, $111,840, and $120,179, respectively.

5. Leases:

The Company’s real estate operations encompass both owned and leased properties. The current leases on leased property, most of which have options to extend the terms, range from 1 year to 24 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 in the period ended July 31, 2007 was exceeded by sublease rental income, as follows:

Rent expense related to an affiliate principally owned by certain directors of the Company totaled $825,000 for fiscal year ended July 31, 2007, included $448,200 of rent expense accrued for a renewal of a lease which the final amount has not yet been determined and may go to an independent arbitrator, $273,300 for fiscal year ended July 31, 2006, and $169,800 for fiscal year ended July 31, 2005. The rent expense accrued to a related party is considered a significant estimate and may vary materially from the amount recorded in the financial statements. Rent expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lives of the leases.

Future minimum non-cancelable rental commitments for operating leases with initial or remaining terms of one year or more are payable as follows:

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.

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 forty-nine tenants, of which one tenant accounted for 15.67% and another tenant accounted for 13.39% of rental income during the year ended July 31, 2007. No other tenant accounted for more than 10% of rental income during the year ended July 31, 2007.

12. Capitalization:

The Company is capitalized entirely through common stock with identical voting rights and rights to liquidation. Treasury stock is recorded at cost and consists of 162,517 shares at July 31, 2007 and at July 31, 2006.

13. Note Payable:

On December 15, 2004, the Company borrowed $1,000,000 from a director of the Company, who is also a greater than 10% beneficial owner of the outstanding common stock of the Company. The term of the loan is for a period of three (3) years maturing on December 15, 2007, at an interest rate of 7.50% per annum. The loan is unsecured. The note is prepayable in whole or in part at any time without penalty. The funds were used towards the purchase of a one-half interest in a parcel which is part of the Company’s Brooklyn, New York properties. The total purchase price was $1,500,000. The constant quarterly payments of interest are $18,750. The interest paid for the years ended July 31, 2007 and 2006 was $75,000 and July 31, 2005 was $46,875. The Company intends to negotiate with the director to extend this loan.

14. 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.

In response to a termination notice that the Company received concerning its tenancy in a portion of the Jowein building, Brooklyn, New York, on April 25, 2007, the Company filed a lawsuit against its landlords in New York State Supreme Court, Kings County. In the lawsuit, the Company seeks a judgment declaring that the landlords’ termination notice was improperly issued and that the Company is not required to correct or cure the purported defaults cited in the termination notice. In addition, the Company seeks an order temporarily,

16




preliminarily and permanently enjoining the landlords from taking any action to terminate the lease or otherwise interfere with the Company’s possession of the premises.

On May 16, 2007, the New York State Supreme Court granted the Company’s motion for preliminary injunctive relief and enjoined the landlords, during the pendency of this action, from taking any action to evict the Company, terminate the Company’s lease which is scheduled to expire on April 30, 2010, and/or commencing summary action adverse to the Company’s rights or otherwise disturb the Company’s possession of the premises. The landlords have answered the complaint denying the allegations and asserting counterclaims against the Company relating to the premises. Discovery is ongoing. Management of the Company is unable to predict the outcome of this matter or whether the Company will be required to expend significant amounts of money in order to correct any of the purported defaults.

The Company reviews, modifies and improves its system of internal controls in response to changes in operations.

The Board of Directors, acting through the Audit Committee, which is comprised solely of independent directors who are not employees of the Company, oversees the financial reporting process. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting standards generally accepted in the United States of America and include amounts based on judgments and estimates made by management. Actual results could differ from estimated amounts.

To ensure complete independence, D’Arcangelo & Co., LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm, has full and free access to meet with the Audit Committee, without management representatives present, to discuss results of the audit, the adequacy of internal controls and the quality of financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm


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

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of J.W. Mays, Inc. and subsidiaries as of July 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of income and retained earnings, comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended July 31, 2007. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated 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 subsidiaries as of July 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended July 31, 2007, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

J.W. MAYS, INC.

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


Fiscal 2007 Compared to Fiscal 2006

Net income for the year ended July 31, 2007 amounted to $2,055,939, or $1.02 per share, compared to net income for the year ended July 31, 2006 of $1,433,382, or $.71 per share.

Revenues in the current year increased to $18,158,702 from $13,666,177 in the comparable 2006 fiscal year. The increase in revenue was due to the Company’s gain on the sale of a building in Brooklyn, New York in the amount of $4,309,340 and the Company’s leasing to four additional tenants at the Company’s Brooklyn, New York and Jamaica, New York properties.

The recovery of real estate taxes in the current year in the amount of $39,483, net of legal expenses, represents prior years’ real estate taxes from one of the Company’s properties. The comparable 2006 year had a recovery of real estate taxes in the amount of $195,605, net of legal expenses.

Real estate operating expenses in the current year increased to $8,587,081 from $7,855,318 in the comparable 2006 year primarily due to increases in rental expense in the Company’s Brooklyn, New York and Jamaica, New York properties, maintenance costs and licenses and permits, partially offset by decreases in real estate taxes, payroll costs, utility costs and leasing commission costs.

Administrative and general expenses in the current year increased to $3,255,094 from $3,011,080 in the comparable 2006 year primarily due to increases in payroll costs, bad debt expense due to a tenant vacating the Company’s Brooklyn, New York building, and legal and professional costs, partially offset by decreases in pension costs.

Depreciation and amortization expense in the current year increased to $1,582,153 from $1,544,419 in the comparable 2006 year primarily due to depreciation on the additional improvements to the Brooklyn, New York properties.

Interest expense in the current year exceeded investment income by $913,435 and was exceeded by investment income of $1,137,022 in the comparable 2006 year. The higher investment income amount in the 2006 year was due to the gain on the sale of one of the Company’s marketable securities, which was caused by a merger.

Fiscal 2006 Compared to Fiscal 2005

Net income for the year ended July 31, 2006 amounted to $1,433,382, or $.71 per share, compared to net income for the year ended July 31, 2005 of $348,368, or $.17 per share.

Revenues in the current year increased to $13,166,177 from $12,882,965 in the comparable 2005 fiscal year. The increase in revenues was due to the Company’s leasing to three office tenants at its Jowein building in Brooklyn, New York, the leasing to a retail tenant at its Jamaica, New York building, the recovery of real estate taxes, partially offset by two retail tenants vacating the Jamaica, New York building and the office tenant vacating the Fishkill, New York building.

The recovery of real estate taxes in the current year in the amount of $195,605, net of legal expenses, represents prior years’ real estate taxes from two of the Company’s properties.

Real estate operating expenses in the current year increased to $7,855,318 from $7,321,272 in the comparable 2005 year primarily due to increases in rental expense, real estate taxes, maintenance costs, utility costs, leasing commissions and licenses and permits, partially offset by decreases in insurance costs.

Administrative and general expenses in the current year increased to $3,011,080 from $2,764,210 in the comparable 2005 year primarily due to increases in payroll costs, insurance costs, legal and professional costs, and bad debt expense due to a tenant vacating the Company’s Jamaica, New York building.

Depreciation and amortization expense in the current year increased to $1,544,419 from $1,464,883 in the comparable 2005 year primarily due to depreciation on the additional improvements to the Brooklyn, New York and the Jamaica, New York properties and acquisitions of the three parcels in Brooklyn, New York.

20




Investment income exceeded interest expense and other expenses by $1,137,022 in fiscal 2006, and was exceeded by interest expense and other expenses by $641,232 in the comparable 2005 year. The investment income increase in the 2006 year was due to the gain on the sale of one of the Company’s marketable securities, which was caused by a merger, scheduled repayments of debt, partially offset by increased interest expense on the additional loans and increases in interest rates with banks and a note payable from a director.

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.

Management considers current working capital and borrowing capabilities adequate to cover the Company’s planned operating and capital requirements. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents amounted to $5,965,350 at July 31, 2007.

The Company on July 25, 2007, entered into a contract of sale and simultaneously closed on the sale of a property in Brooklyn, New York. The Company received $4,700,000 on the sale of the premises. The Company will continue to operate the building until the lease with the tenant who occupies part of the premises expires in April 2010.

In March 2006, the Company leased an additional 7,411 square feet for office use to an existing tenant at the Company’s Bond Street building, in Brooklyn, New York. Rent commenced in October 2006.

In August and September 2006, the Company entered into three additional lease agreements. Two of the lease agreements were for retail use at the Company’s Jamaica, New York building. One tenant leased 47,100 square feet and the other tenant leased 28,335 square feet. These tenants replaced the tenants who vacated the premises in February 2006 and June 2006, respectively. Rent commenced in November 2006 for the tenant that leased 28,335 square feet and commenced in May 2007 for the tenant that leased 47,100 square feet. The rental income from these lease agreements will more than offset the rental income lost from the previous tenants. The third lease agreement is for 10,000 square feet and will be used for office space at the Company’s Jowein building in Brooklyn, New York. Rent commenced in December 2006. The cost of construction to the Company for these tenants was insignificant.

In October 2006, the Company entered into a lease agreement with a restaurant at the Company’s Levittown premises. The restaurant will construct a new building. The tenant expects to open the restaurant in fiscal 2008. Rent commenced in September 2007. This will replace the tenant that vacated the premises in September 2004. The annual rental income from this lease agreement will more than offset the annual rental income lost from the previous tenant.

The Company was informed by a tenant who occupies 32,890 square feet of office space in its Jamaica, New York property, that the tenant would not be exercising its option to extend its lease agreement. The tenant vacated the premises on April 30, 2007. The Company entered into a lease agreement with a new tenant for the occupancy of the entire 32,890 square feet. As of May 1, 2007, the new tenant was occupying the premises.

The Company was informed by a tenant who occupies 22,192 square feet of office space at its Brooklyn, New York property that the tenant would vacate the premises in July 2007. The annual loss in rental income to the Company will be approximately $470,000. The Company is actively seeking, through brokers, tenants to occupy the vacated space.

In May 2007, the Company entered into a lease agreement with a tenant for 15,900 square feet of office space at its Jowein building in Brooklyn, New York. Rent is anticipated to commence in December 2007.

22




Cash Flows From Financing Activities:

Borrowing: The Company drew down an additional $315,706 on its multiple draw term loan, to finance tenant improvements and brokerage commissions for the leasing of 13,026 square feet for office use at the Company’s Bond Street building in Brooklyn, New York. The total amount financed for tenant improvements and brokerage commissions is $916,670. (See Note 3(e) to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

Lease security: The Company increased tenant security deposits by $99,167 due to the leasing of space to two tenants at the Company’s Brooklyn, New York and Jamaica, New York properties.

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, 2007, 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.

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.
