Explanatory Note

J.W. Mays, Inc. is filing this Amendment No. 1 to its Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2008 for the purpose of revising its disclosure under "Item 9A. Controls and Procedures," the complete text of which is contained herein and certain additional disclosures in the certifications contained in Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2 and a conforming change to Exhibit 32. Except as discussed in this Explanatory Note, no other changes have been made to the original filing of the Form 10-K.

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, 2008, 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) Changes to internal control over financial reporting.

There was no change in the Company’s internal control 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 control over financial reporting. There were no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses, and therefore there were no corrective actions taken.

(c) Management's annual report on internal control over financial reporting.

The Company's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as such term is defined in Rule 13(a)-15(f). Our internal control system has been designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company's management and its Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Even those systems that have been determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. The Company's management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of July 31, 2008. In making this assessment, the Company's management used the criteria set forth by the Committee Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control – Integrated Framework Guidance for Small Public Companies. Based on the Company's assessments, we believe that, as of July 31, 2008, its internal control over financial reporting is effective based on these criteria.

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.

The Company's management report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management's report in this Annual Report.

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 control over financial reporting remain at a high level despite the limited number of accounting department personnel.
