statements included in the Company's Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended
April 30, 1995.  The results of operations for the three month periods ended
July 31, 1995 and 1994 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
expected for the full year.

2.  The application of FASB 87 resulted in  the Company's recognition, on the
basis of annual Actuarial reports, of $1,919 of net periodic pension income for
the quarter ended July 31, 1995 and $24,860 for the first three months of
Fiscal Year 1995. The decrease in income from period to period is a result of
the Pension Plan restructuring and lower actuarial interest rate assumptions.
The revised plan calls for increased benefits to current and retired employees

3.  At April 30, 1995, $6,000 had been provided as a reasonable reserve for
uncollectible accounts receivable. This reserve has not changed during the
first quarter of FY 1996.

4.  As anticipated, the Company completed the sale of its Gas investments in
July. The sale price of $284,000 was reduced by payables still outstanding on
these wells, which resulted in net proceeds to the Company of $201,000. The
effect on the Profit and Loss Statement from this transaction is highlighted
below.

5.   Property, Plant and Equipment increased $100,000 in the first three months
primarily due to capitalization of renovation costs to Building #7 South for a
new tenant whose occupancy starts in September. Due to a delay in securing
additional financing, these costs were financed internally.  The estimated cost
of the total renovation will be approximately $500,000.  The Company is
currently negotiating long term financing for this project.


6.   In January 1994, the Company borrowed $600,000 from a bank to replenish
the working capital spent on reception center improvements. This 5 year term
loan will be repaid from Flowerfield Reception Center rental income and is
secured by two different tenant's leases and rents. The annualized rent for
both tenants totals approximately $573,000. The total balance of this loan as
of July 31, 1995 is $410,000.  As proposed by the Company, the remaining
balance on this term loan will be consolidated into the long term financing
indicated in Footnote 5. above.

7.  The provisions for current taxes and prior year taxes is based on a full
 year forecast of taxable income pro-rated over the entire year.  In the case
 of losses, an estimated refund is calculated to offset a pre-tax loss.  During
 the current year, the Company is estimating a taxable gain based on projected
 revenues.   This in no way effects the Company's taxable loss for FY 1995 for
 which a refund of approximately $170,000 is anticipated in FY 1996.

8.  Included in "Other Assets" at July 31, 1995 is $200,000 of restricted cash
which is being held as collateral for the irrevocable letter of credit given to
the seller of the land purchased in October 1994. The letter of credit is to
insure that Gyrodyne performs certain land improvements before October 5, 1996.
Also included in this category is the remaining equity in the oil well
investment of $17,103.

9.  On August 6, 1995 Officers and key employees exercised 10 restricted
incentive stock awards and options totaling 11,643 shares. These restricted
options and awards had been granted by the Board of Directors on August 6,
1994. On August 26, 1995 the Board of Directors granted 11 additional
restricted stock options or awards to 11 key employees and Officers totaling
25,750 shares, no portion of which can be exercised before August 26, 1996 or
sold before August 26, 1997.

Item 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

(a)  Not Applicable

(b)  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
     OF OPERATIONS

Total Revenues from Operations for the three month period were $45,000 higher
than the same period last year reflecting an increase in the occupancy rate of
4% from year-to-year.  In addition, higher rates based on COLA increases and
lease renewals also contributed to the increase.

As a result of the Company's continued cost control efforts, overall operating
expenses for real estate operations decreased $8,000 in the period to period
three month comparison. Expenditures for building maintenance and professional
services were keep to a minimum yielding quarter to quarter savings of $30,000.
Offsetting these economies were above average costs for air conditioning and
vehicular repairs. The heat wave in July not only bumped up the annual volume
of early season air conditioning repairs but took its toll on the company's
grounds equipment.

For Aerospace, manning and spending have remained at last year's levels,
however, with a shift in emphasis.  With the completion of a reorganization and
computerization of the Company's helicopter assets last year, the Company has
embarked on a refurbishment program which will yield three flyable demonstrator
vehicles.  It is the Company's intent to capitalize on the current interest
shown both here and abroad in the model QH-50 drone.  The Company is actively
negotiating the sale of air vehicles with a customer; however, in Management's
opinion, any arrangement, while beneficial, will not have a significant effect
on the Aerospace assets.

Effective January 1, 1995, Callery-Judge Grove adopted a Fiscal Year for
financial reporting purposes in order to better match revenues and expenses to
the natural growing and harvesting season.  The Fiscal Year cycle will begin
October 1 annually and end September 30th.  The first reporting year will be a
short year of only nine months.  Based on information previously received, the
Grove management is projecting, for the Grove as whole, a $2,900,000 tax loss
for the short Fiscal Year ending September 30, 1995. For the current quarter,
Gyrodyne has accrued a $132,000 loss for our 17 1/2 % share in the Grove.

The current loss is a result of severe weather conditions reported in more
detail in the Company's 10KSB.  The water soaked crop of 1994 led to a reduced
packout in 1995 which in turn resulted in the current losses.  This turn of
events masked the increased producing acreage that came on line this year.
Additionally, the Grove packing plant is now slated to begin operation in
September 1995.  Once fully on-line, Grove operations will benefit from sharply
reduced transportation costs, improved scheduling flexibility, and much tighter
quality control.  Future results from the Grove are projected to show
significant improvement in output as the maturation of replanted acreage yields
more harvestable fruit.

As anticipated in the 10KSB, the Company, in July, arranged for the sale of its
gas interests for a total of approximately $284,000..  After netting
outstanding obligations, the company received cash of 10-QSB approximately
$201,000.  The Company still owns interests in oil wells which provide a net
cash flow of approximately $75,000 to $100,000 a year.

As a result of a land purchase for cash in October of 1994, Interest and
dividend income for the current three month period is lower than the prior
period due to a reduced portfolio.  Lower Pension income for the comparable
period is the result of revisions to the defined benefit pension plan and the
lowering, by the U. S.  Government, of actuarial interest rate assumptions for
pension plans. The scheduled pay down of the Company's term loan lead to lower
interest expense in the current quarter reflecting a reduced principal amount
outstanding.

The current ratio for the period ended July 31, 1995 increased to 2.83:1 from
1.88:1 at April 30, 1995 and down from 3.32:1 at  July 31, 1994.  The increase
from April 30, 1995 is due to the sale of the gas properties while the decrease
from July 31, 1994 reflects the purchase, for cash, of approximately 5 net
acres of land contiguous with the Flowerfield property.

For the three month period ending July 31, 1995, the Company is reporting a
pre-tax and after tax loss of $5,083. Excluding the gain on the sale of the gas
properties, the operating loss is lower than originally anticipated by
management. On the basis of current estimates, Management is projecting a
return to profitability in the fourth quarter of FY 1996.


Part II Other Information

Items 1 thru 4 are not applicable to the May 1, 1995 thru July 31, 1995 period.

Item 5. Other Information

At the August 26, 1995 Board of Directors meeting the Board of Directors
selected October 27, 1995 at 11:30 AM, at the Company's Flowerfield Complex, as

Board also approved a revision to the Pension Plan which provided for
additional payment choices as permitted by ERISA and the IRS.  Further, a
resolution was approved providing that the payment of outside  Director's fees
are to be solely in Company stock rather than in cash .
