NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

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, incremental borrowing rates and recognition of renewal options for operating lease right-of-use 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, impairment analysis of long-lived assets, 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.

Basis of Presentation

The interim financial statements are prepared pursuant to the instructions for reporting on Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulations S-X of the Securities & Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Rules and Regulations. The July 31, 2025 consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The interim financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the Company’s latest Form 10-K Annual Report for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2025. In the opinion of management, the interim financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair statement of the results for interim periods. The results of operations for the current period are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year ending July 31, 2026 or any other period.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash primarily consists of cash held in bank accounts for tenant security deposits and other amounts required under certain loan agreements.

Accounts Receivable

Generally, rent is due from tenants at the beginning of the month in accordance with terms of each lease. Based upon its periodic assessment of the quality of the receivables, management uses its historical knowledge of the tenants and industry experience to determine whether a reserve or write-off is required. The Company uses specific identification to write-off receivables to bad debt expense in the period when issues of collectability become known. Collectability issues include late rent payments, circumstances when a tenant indicates their intention to vacate the property without paying, or when tenant litigation or bankruptcy proceedings are not expected to result in full payment. Management also assesses collectability by reviewing accounts receivable on an aggregate basis where similar characteristics exist. In determining the amount of the allowance for credit losses, the Company considers past due status and a tenant’s payment history. We also consider current market conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions. Our assessment considers volatility in market conditions and evolving shifts in credit trends that may have a material impact on our allowance for uncollectible accounts receivables in future periods.

The Company’s allowance for credit losses is recorded as an offset to receivables. Activity in the allowance for credit losses for each period follows:

-7 -

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method. Amortization of improvements to leased property is calculated over the life of the lease. Lives used to determine depreciation and amortization are generally as follows:

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 costs 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.

Impairment

The Company periodically reviews owned and leased properties, including related long lived assets and depreciable lives, for indicators of impairment that imply the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable through operations plus estimated disposition proceeds. Such indicators of impairment include, but are not limited to, significant changes in real estate market conditions resulting in decreases in estimated fair values of properties or assets, changes in business conditions in the industries in which our tenants operate, and other significant or unusual events or circumstances which may occur from time to time.

If indicators of impairment existed, the carrying value of the property would be written down to its estimated fair value based on our best estimate of the property’s discounted future cash flows.

As of January 31, 2026 and July 31, 2025, the Company has determined there was no impairment of its owned and leased properties, and the related carrying values, including depreciable lives.

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 5 to 21 years, using the straight-line method. If a lease is terminated early, such costs are expensed.

Leases - Lessor Revenue

Rental income 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 are included in accounts receivable and 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. The effect of lease modifications that result in rent relief or other credits to tenants, including any retroactive effects relating to prior periods, are recognized in the period when the lease modification is signed. At the time of the lease modification, we assess the realizability of any accrued but unpaid rent and amounts that had been recognized as revenue in prior periods. As lessor, we have elected to combine the lease components (base rent), non-lease components (reimbursements of common area maintenance expenses) and reimbursements of real estate taxes and account for the components as a single lease component in accordance with ASC 842. If the amounts are not determined to be realizable, the accrued but unpaid rent is written off. Accounts receivable are recognized in accordance with lease agreements at its net realizable value. Rental payments received in advance are deferred until earned.

Rent concessions granted were recognized as reductions in revenue as follows:

Leases - Lessee

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. With the adoption of ASC 842, operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use assets, and operating lease liabilities on the Company’s balance sheet.

Operating lease right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make payments arising from the lease. Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Taxes

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “OBBBA”) was signed into law in the United States. The OBBBA includes changes to U.S. tax law applicable to the Company’s tax year ending July 31, 2025. The Company finalized recording all known and estimable impacts of the OBBBA when it filed its U.S. federal income tax return for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2025 in November 2025. There was no significant adjustment on the company's financial statement.

The computation of the annual expected effective tax rate at each interim period requires certain estimates and assumptions including, but not limited to, the expected operating income for the year and future periods, projections of the proportion of income (or loss), and permanent and temporary differences. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change as new events occur, more experience is acquired, or as additional information is obtained. To the extent the estimated annual effective tax rate changes during a quarter, the effect of the change on prior quarters is included in tax expense for the current quarter.

The Company has a federal net operating loss carryforward approximating $11,000,000 as of July 31, 2025 and January 31, 2026 available to offset future taxable income. The company has net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $16,000,000 for state and $14,000,000 for city as of July 31, 2025 and January 31, 2026, available to offset future state and city taxable income. The net operating loss carryforwards will begin to expire, if not used, in 2035.

New York State and New York City taxes are calculated using the higher of taxes based on income or the respective capital-based franchise taxes. Beginning with the Company’s tax year ending July 31, 2027, changes in the law required the state capital-based tax will be phased out. New York City taxes will be based on capital for the foreseeable future. Capital-based franchise taxes are recorded to administrative and general expense. State tax amounts in excess of the capital-based franchise taxes are recorded to income tax expenses. Due to both the application of the capital-based tax and due to the possible absence of city taxable income, the Company does not record city deferred taxes.

Segment Reporting

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07), which require the Company to disclose segment expenses that are significant and regularly provided to the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). In addition, ASU 2023-07 requires the Company to disclose the title and position of its CODM and how the CODM uses segment profit or loss information in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 on its July 31, 2025 annual report and related disclosures. The Company uses the management approach to determine reportable operating segments. The management approach considers the internal organization and reporting used by the Company’s CODM for making decisions, allocating resources and assessing performance. The Company’s CODM has been identified as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who reviews consolidated results when making decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance of the Company. Based on management’s assessment, the Company has determined it has one operating segment (which operates commercial real estate properties) as defined by ASC Topic 280 “Segment Reporting”.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses

In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2024-03,Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses(“ASU 2024-03”) and in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-01,*Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—*Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40):Clarifying the

-9 -

Effective Date, which clarified the effective date of ASU 2024-03. ASU 2024-03 will require the Company to disclose the amounts of employee compensation, depreciation, as applicable, included in certain expense captions in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, as well as qualitatively describe remaining amounts included in those captions. ASU 2024-03 will also require the Company to disclose both the amount and the Company’s definition of selling expenses. The Company is currently evaluating the effect ASU 2024-03 may have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Income Taxes

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740):Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), which will require the Company to disclose specified additional information in its income tax rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. ASU 2023-09 will also require the Company to disaggregate its income taxes paid disclosure by federal, state and foreign taxes, with further disaggregation required for significant individual jurisdictions. The Company is currently evaluating the effect ASU 2023-09 may have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

2. Loss Per Share of Common Stock:

Loss per share has been computed by dividing the net loss for the periods by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the periods, adjusted for the purchase of treasury stock. Shares used in computing loss per share were 2,015,780 for the three and six months ended January 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

3. Financial Instruments and Credit Risk Concentrations:

Financial instruments that are potentially subject to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of restricted cash, cash and cash equivalents, and receivables. Restricted cash, 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.

As of January 31 2026 and July 31, 2025, three tenants accounted for approximately 53.65% and 54.96% of receivables, respectively. During the six months ended January 31 2026, and 2025, three tenants accounted for 37.43% and two tenants accounted for 26.46% of total rental revenue, respectively.

4. Mortgage Payable:

In March 2020, the Company obtained a loan with a bank in the amount of $4,000,000 to finance renovations and brokerage commissions relating to space leased to a community college at the Fishkill, New York building. The loan is secured by the Fishkill, New York land and building; amortized over a 20-year period with an interest rate of 3.98%. Effective any time after April 1, 2025 through April 1, 2040, the bank may demand a balloon payment for the full amount outstanding. Although the interest rate is currently favorable, the company may choose to refinance the mortgage at any time; however, the bank is under no obligation to refinance if or when the balloon payment comes due upon demand.

Maturities of long-term mortgages outstanding at January 31, 2026 based on the contractual payment dates, are as follows:

Expenditures for fixed assets additions and major renewals or improvements are capitalized along with the associated interest cost during construction. Interest expense, net of capitalized interest follows:

5. Operating Leases:

Lessor

The Company leases office and retail space to tenants under operating leases in commercial buildings. Most rental terms range from approximately 5 to 49 years. The leases provide for the payment of fixed base rent payable monthly in advance as well as reimbursements of real estate taxes and common area costs. The Company has elected to account for lease revenues and the reimbursements of common area costs as a single component included as rental income in our consolidated statements of operations.

The following table disaggregates the Company’s revenues by lease and non-lease components:

Future minimum non-cancelable rental income for leases with initial or remaining terms of one year or more is as follows:

Lessee

The Company’s real estate operations include leased properties under long-term, non-cancelable operating lease agreements. The leases expire at various dates through 2073, including options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise that option. Certain leases provide for increases in future minimum annual rental payments as defined in the lease agreements. As of January 31, 2026, our operating leases had a weighted average remaining lease term of 15.72 years and a weighted average discount rate of 3.76%.

In August 2025, the Company exercised the second of four five-year option periods with its landlord to extend the Jamaica Avenue at 169th Street, Jamaica, New York property lease beyond May 31, 2035 for a total of five years through May 31, 2040. The effect of the five-year lease extension on the measurement of operating right-of-use assets, liabilities, and monthly rent expense follows:

-11 -

As of January 31, 2026, it is not reasonably certain the remaining two options to extend the lease from May 31, 2040 to May 31, 2050 will be exercised by the Company. The landlord is Weinstein Enterprises, Inc., an affiliated company principally owned by the Chairman of the Board of Directors who also principally owns the Company.

Sublease rental income from the Company’s real estate operations for leased real property exceeded operating lease costs as follows:

The following is a maturity analysis of the annual undiscounted cash flows of the operating lease liabilities as of January 31, 2026:

6. Employees’ Retirement Plan:

The Company sponsors a noncontributory Money Purchase Plan (the “Plan”) covering substantially all its non-union employees. Operations were charged $97,392 and $208,056 as contributions to the Plan for the three and six months ended January 31, 2026, respectively, and $110,729 and $221,457 for the three and six months ended January 31, 2025, respectively.

Multi-employer plan:

The Company contributes to a union sponsored multi-employer pension plan covering its union employees. The Company contributions to the pension plan were $20,029 and $43,534 for the three and six months ended January 31, 2026, respectively, and $22,082 and $43,543 for the three and six months ended January 31, 2025, respectively. Contributions and costs are determined in accordance with the provisions of negotiated labor contracts or terms of the plans. The Company also contributes to a union sponsored health benefit plan.

-12 -

Contingent Liability for Pension Plan:

Information as to the Company’s portion of accumulated plan benefits and plan assets is not reported separately by the pension plan. Under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, upon withdrawal from a multi-employer benefit plan, an employer is required to continue to pay its proportionate share of the plan’s unfunded vested benefits, if any. Any liability under this provision cannot be determined: however, the Company has not made a decision to withdraw from the plan. The legal name of the pension plan is “United Food and Commercial Workers Local 888 Pension Fund”.

Under the pension fund’s rehabilitation plan, which expired November 30, 2025 and is currently being negotiated, the Company pays a minimum contribution rate equal to 20.50% of each covered employee’s pay. The contract also covers rates of pay, hours of employment and other conditions of employment for approximately 21% of the Company’s 24 employees. The Company considers that its labor relations with its employees and union are good.

7. Cash Flow Information:

For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers cash equivalents to consist of short-term highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less, which are readily convertible into cash. The following is a reconciliation of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash to the total presented on the consolidated statement of cash flows:

Amounts in restricted cash primarily consist of cash held in bank accounts for tenant security deposits, amounts set aside in accordance with certain loan agreements, and security deposits with landlords.

Supplemental disclosure:

8. 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 January 31, 2026 and at July 31, 2025.

-13 -

9. Related Party Transactions:

The Company has three operating leases with Landlord, an affiliated company, principally owned by the Chairman of the Board of Directors of both the Company and Landlord. One lease is for building, improvements, and land located at Jamaica Avenue at 169th Street, Jamaica, New York. Another lease is for premises located at 504-506 Fulton Street, Brooklyn, New York.

In August 2025, the Company exercised the second of four five-year option periods with its landlord to extend the Jamaica Avenue at 169th Street, Jamaica, New York property lease beyond May 31, 2035 for a total of five years through May 31, 2040. As of January 31, 2026, it is not reasonably certain the remaining two options to extend the lease from May 31, 2040 to May 31, 2050 will be exercised by the Company.

In December 2024, Weinstein Enterprises purchased the 508 Fulton Street property, including an existing lease, from another landlord who owned 25% of the property. Starting in January 2025, J.W. Mays began making rent payments to Weinstein Enterprises with no other changes to the existing lease.

Rent payments and expense relating to these three operating leases with Landlord follow:

The following summarizes assets and liabilities related to these three leases:

Upon termination of the Jamaica, New York lease, currently in 2040, all premises included in operating lease right-of-use assets plus leasehold improvements will be turned over to the Landlord.

10. Contingencies:

The Company is subject to various legal proceedings, claims, and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business operations. These matters include, but are not limited to, contractual disputes, third party slip and fall or personal injury claims which are typically handled by insurance counsel. 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.

If the Company sells, transfers, disposes of or demolishes 25 Elm Place, Brooklyn, New York, then the Company may be liable to create a condominium unit for the loading dock. The necessity of creating the condominium unit and the cost of such condominium unit cannot be determined at this time.
