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, 2009.

J.W. MAYS, INC.

To Our Shareholders:


The financial condition of our Company improved during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2009 with profits earned in all four quarters, notwithstanding the continued national and international recession during this period.

In fiscal 2009, our revenues were $16,644,716 compared to $14,646,049 in the 2008 fiscal year. Net income for fiscal 2009 was $756,086 or $.38 per share. This compares to net loss of ($75,641) or ($.04) per share for fiscal 2008.

During fiscal 2009, additional rent commenced for 57,209 square feet of office space at the Company’s Bond Street, Brooklyn, New York Property in February 2009.

Increased rentals from existing tenants and the new tenant in fiscal 2009, and before, should adequately cover the Company’s planned operating and capital requirements.

Our emphasis on pursuing and obtaining government agencies, educational institutions and prospective corporate and retail tenants in the last several years has helped us weather the commercial property headwinds which, hopefully, are abating.

I want to express the sincerest gratitude of the Board and all of Mays’ personnel to Mrs. Sylvia W. Shulman who stepped down from serving as a member of the Board as of December 31, 2008. Her leadership and guidance will be missed by all who have known, respected and loved her.

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

Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer

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 and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The estimates that we make include allowance for doubtful accounts, depreciation and amortization, income tax assets and liabilities, fair value of marketable securities and revenue recognition. Estimates are based on historical experience where applicable or other assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results may differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

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 measurements using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (which is considered a Level 1 valuation) 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, 2009. The implementation of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, had no impact on the presentation of marketable securities in the Company’s financial statements. The Company does not have any assets valued, using Levels 2 or 3 valuation methods. During 2009, the Company adopted FASB Staff Position 115-2 (FSP), Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments. The implementation of this did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

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 along with the associated interest cost during construction. The cost of assets sold or retired and the accumulated depreciation or amortization thereon are eliminated from the respective accounts in the year of disposal, and the resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to income. Capitalized interest is recorded as part of the asset to which it relates and is amortized over the asset’s estimated useful life.

8



 

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, 2009 and 2008, 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.

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.

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 2009, 2008 and 2007.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS: In May 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Accounting Standards No. 165, Subsequent Events, which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued and requires the disclosure of the date through which we have evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date. This pronouncement is effective for interim or annual periods ending after June 15, 2009 and does apply to this fiscal year ending July 31, 2009.

In July 2009, the FASB, in an effort to codify all authoritative accounting guidance related to a particular topic in a single place, issued Statement of Financial Account Standards No. 168 (“FAS 168”), “The FASB Accounting Standard Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162.” It replaces the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) hierarchy created by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles,” by establishing only two levels of generally accepted accounting principles: authoritative and non authoritative. All authoritative guidance will carry the same level of authority. The statement is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of FAS 168 will not have an impact on our financial position or results of operations.

(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

10



 

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 extended period 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 was for a period of five (5) years at an interest rate of 9.00% per annum. Interest and amortization of principal were paid quarterly based on a fifteen (15) year level amortization period. The constant quarterly payments of interest and principal were $40,316. The outstanding balance of the loan, totaling $764,648, became due and payable on April 1, 2009. On September 22, 2008, the Company made a payment in the amount of $300,000, which was a partial payment towards the principal amount of the loan and accrued interest to date and in March 2009 the Company paid the balance of the loan in the amount of $764,648. Interest paid for the years ended July 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 was $48,148, $102,211, and $107,239, respectively.

(d) On August 19, 2004 the Company extended the then existing loan for forty-two (42) months, with an option to convert the loan to a seven (7) year permanent mortgage loan. (See Note 3(e) below). The Company, in February 2008, converted the loan to a seven (7) year permanent mortgage loan. The interest rate on conversion was 6.98%.

(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 will also finance $850,000 towards the construction of two new elevators at the Company’s Brooklyn, New York property (Bond Street building). The Company had 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, which matured on July 1, 2004 (the “First Permanent Loan”)(see Note 3(d)), b) a permanent subordinate mortgage loan in the amount of $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 (42) 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. In fiscal 2006, 2007 and 2008, the Company drew down additional amounts totaling $916,670, on its multiple draw term loan to finance tenant improvements and brokerage commissions for

11



 

the leasing of 13,026 square feet for office use at the Company’s Bond Street building in Brooklyn, New York. The Company in February 2008 converted the loan to a seven (7) year permanent mortgage loan. The interest rate on conversion was 6.98%. Since the loan has been converted to a permanent mortgage loan, the balance of the financing on this loan is for the new elevators at the Company’s Bond Street building in Brooklyn, New York in the amount of $850,000 referred to above. As of July 31, 2009, the Company has not drawn down any of the $850,000. The $850,000 is available until the elevator work is completed. The monthly payments to the bank will increase once the $850,000 is drawn down. On September 17, 2009, the Company drew down $751,500 of the $850,000 elevator loan.

(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. Interest paid for the years ended July 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 was $32,147, $55,183 and $76,773, respectively.

(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.

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 multiple financial institutions and instruments to minimize risk. No assurance can be made that such financial institutions and instruments will minimize all such risk.

The Company derives rental income from fifty-seven tenants, of which one tenant accounted for 16.16% and another tenant accounted for 13.19% of rental income during the year ended July 31, 2009. No other tenant accounted for more than 10% of rental income during the year ended July 31, 2009.

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, 2009 and at July 31, 2008.

13. Note Payable:

On December 15, 2004, the Company borrowed $1,000,000 from a former 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

16



 

was 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 Company extended the note for an additional three (3) years maturing on December 15, 2010, at an interest rate of 7.50% per annum. The interest paid for each of the years ended July 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 was $75,000.

14. Related Party Transactions:

In the years ended July 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, Holland & Knight LLP, a law firm in which Lance D. Myers, a member of our Board of Directors, is a partner, performed legal services for us for which it was paid $303,020, $195,540, and $158,997, respectively.

15. 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, except for the matter described below the Company is unable to predict the outcome of the matter.

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 landlord’s 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, 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 has been completed and a trial date has been scheduled for October 19, 2009, but it is likely that the trial will be adjourned until November 2009. 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.

If the lease is not renewed prior to expiration, the Company is committed to return the premises in the condition the Company received it, taking into account normal wear and tear on the building. At this time the Company is only able to estimate this cost at a range between $700,000 and $1,200,000.

16. Subsequent events:

The Company evaluated events occurring between the end of its most recent fiscal year and October 8, 2009, the date the financial statements were issued.

Mays, Inc. and subsidiaries as of July 31, 2009 and 2008, 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, 2009. J.W. Mays Inc. and subsidiaries management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements. 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. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, 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, 2009 and 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended July 31, 2009, 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


Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and related notes thereto contained in this report. In this discussion, the words “Company”, “we”, “our” and “us” refer to J.W. Mays, Inc. and subsidiaries.

The following can be interpreted as including forward-looking statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The words “outlook”, “intend”, “plans”, “efforts”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “expects” or words of similar import typically identify such statements. Various important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements are identified under the heading “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” below. Our actual results may vary significantly from the results contemplated by these forward-looking statements based on a number of factors including, but not limited to, availability of labor, marketing success, competitive conditions and the change in economic conditions of the various markets we serve.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We believe the critical accounting policies in Note 1 affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. (See Note 1 on pages 8 and 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

Fiscal 2009 Compared to Fiscal 2008

Net income for the year ended July 31, 2009 amounted to $756,086, or $.38 per share, compared to net loss for the year ended July 31, 2008 of ($75,641), or ($.04) per share.

Revenues in the current year increased to $16,644,716 from $14,646,049 in the comparable 2008 fiscal year. The increase in revenue was due to the Company’s leasing to six additional tenants at the Company’s Brooklyn, Jamaica, Levittown, New York and Circleville, Ohio properties.

The recovery of real estate taxes in the current year in the amount of $546,418, net of legal expenses, represents prior years’ real estate taxes from two of the Company’s properties. The comparable 2008 year had a recovery of real estate taxes in the amount of $91,043, net of legal expenses.

Real estate operating expenses in the current year increased to $9,224,301 from $8,886,483 in the comparable 2008 year primarily due to increases in real estate taxes, maintenance and payroll costs, partially offset by decreases in insurance costs and utility costs.

Administrative and general expenses in the current year increased to $3,470,670 from $3,455,068 in the comparable 2008 year primarily due to increases in payroll costs, and legal and professional costs, partially offset by a bad debt from a tenant vacating the Company’s Jowein Building, in Brooklyn, New York in the comparable 2008 year.

Depreciation and amortization expense in the current year increased to $1,625,016 from $1,604,321 in the comparable 2008 year primarily due to depreciation on the additional improvements to the Jamaica, New York property.

Interest expense in the current year exceeded investment income by $840,643 and $670,818 in the comparable 2008 year. The increase in the excess of interest expense over investment income was due to the loss on the sale of the Company’s investment in Lehman Brothers Holding Inc. preferred stock in the amount of $99,900 and losses on the sale of three other preferred stocks which totaled $123,981 and a decrease in investment income, partially offset by scheduled repayments of debt.

20



Fiscal 2008 Compared to Fiscal 2007

Net loss for the year ended July 31, 2008 amounted to ($75,641), or ($.04) per share, compared to net income for the year ended July 31, 2007 of $2,055,939, or $1.02 per share.

Revenues in fiscal 2008 decreased to $14,646,049 from $18,158,702 in the comparable 2007 fiscal year. The decrease 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 in fiscal 2007 and the vacating of a tenant at the Company’s Brooklyn, New York property in July 2007 and the reduced rent received by the tenant that replaced Levitz Home Furnishings, Inc., at the Company’s Jowein building in Brooklyn, New York, offset by the Company’s leasing to five additional tenants at the Company’s Brooklyn, Jamaica and Levittown, New York properties.

The recovery of real estate taxes in fiscal 2008 in the amount of $91,043, net of legal expenses, represents prior years’ real estate taxes from one of the Company’s properties. The comparable 2007 year had a recovery of real estate taxes in the amount of $39,483, net of legal expenses.

Real estate operating expenses in fiscal 2008 increased to $8,886,483 from $8,587,081 in the comparable 2007 year primarily due to increases in rental expense in the Company’s Brooklyn, New York property, utility costs and payroll costs, partially offset by decreases in real estate taxes, insurance costs, licenses and permits and leasing commission costs.

Administrative and general expenses in fiscal 2008 increased to $3,455,068 from $3,255,094 in the comparable 2007 year primarily due to increases in payroll costs, insurance costs, legal and professional costs, and pension costs.

Depreciation and amortization expense in fiscal 2008 increased to $1,604,321 from $1,582,153 in the comparable 2007 year primarily due to depreciation on the additional improvements to the Jamaica, New York property.

Interest expense in fiscal 2008 exceeded investment income by $670,818 and $913,435 in the comparable 2007 year. The decrease in the excess of interest expense over investment income was due primarily to increased investment income and scheduled repayments of 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.

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 $653,719 at July 31, 2009.

In July 2008, the Company entered into a lease agreement with a tenant for 57,209 square feet of office space at the Company’s Brooklyn, New York property. Rent commenced in February 2009. The cost of construction to the Company for this tenant was insignificant.

On September 22, 2008, the Company made a payment in the amount of $300,000, which was a partial payment towards the principal amount of its loan and accrued interest to date on the Jowein Building in Brooklyn, New York and in March 2009, the Company paid the balance of the loan in the amount of $764,648 in addition to quarterly payments. (See Note 3(c) to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)

As part of the $12,000,000 multiple draw term loan, the bank agreed to finance the cost of two new elevators at the Company’s Bond Street building in Brooklyn, New York. The amount to be financed will be $850,000. (See Note 3(e) to the Consolidated Financial Statements). The total cost of the elevator project was approximately $1,200,000 and was completed in August 2009. On September 17, 2009, the Company drew down $751,500 of the $850,000 elevator loan (see Note 3(e) to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

The leases with the Company’s landlords at the Jowein building in Brooklyn, New York, expire on April 30, 2010. The Company is committed to return the premises in the condition the Company received it, taking into account normal wear and tear. At this time we are only able to estimate that the costs required to separate the

21



building will range between $700,000 and $1,200,000. The loss in cash flow to the company will be insignificant when compared to the fiscal 2009 cash flow.

On August 12, 2009, a tenant in our 9 Bond Street building in Brooklyn, New York filed for Chapter 11 protection. This tenant is expected to account for 1.66% of our projected annual income for the year ending July 31, 2010. While we cannot ascertain what the effect of this filing will be on the Company, cash flows would be adversely affected by approximately $23,000 per month should the tenant reject the lease and vacate the premises.

In September 2009, the Company entered into a lease agreement with a drive-in restaurant at the Company’s Massapequa premises. The drive-in restaurant intends to construct a new building. The tenant’s occupancy is subject to it receiving the necessary building permits and licenses to construct the building and open for business within a reasonable time period. Rent is anticipated to commence in late 2010. This will replace the tenant that vacated the premises in April 2009. The rental income from this lease agreement will more than offset the rental income lost from the previous tenant.

Cash Flows From Investing Activities:

The Company had expenditures of $595,550 for the year ended July 31, 2009, for the construction of two new elevators. The total cost of the project is approximately $1,200,000, of which $850,000 will be financed by a bank. The project was completed in August 2009.

Brooklyn, New York and in March 2009, the Company paid the balance of the loan in the amount of $764,648 in addition to quarterly payments. (See Note 3(c) to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements:

This section, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, other sections of this Annual Report on Form 10-K and other reports and verbal statements made by our representatives from time to time may contain forward-looking statements that are based on our assumptions, expectations and projections about us and the securities industry. These include statements regarding our expectations about revenues, our liquidity, or expenses and our continued growth, among others. Such forward-looking statements by their nature involve a degree of risk and uncertainty. We caution that a variety of factors, including but not limited to the factors described under Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2009 and the following, could cause business conditions and our results to differ materially from what is contained in forward-looking statements:

 

 

 

 

changes in the rate of economic growth in the United States;

 

 

 

 

changes in the financial condition of our customers;

 

 

 

 

changes in regulatory environment;

 

 

 

 

lease cancellations;

 

 

 

 

changes in our estimates of costs;

 

 

 

 

war and/or terrorist attacks on facilities where services are or may be provided;

 

 

 

 

outcomes of pending and future litigation;

 

 

 

 

increasing competition by other companies;

 

 

 

 

compliance with our loan covenants;

 

 

 

 

recoverability of claims against our customers and others by us and claims by third parties against us; and

 

 

 

 

changes in estimates used in our critical accounting policies.

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

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

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, 2009, 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.

23



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.
