FOOTNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Basis of Quarterly Presentations:

The accompanying quarterly financial statements have been prepared in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles. The financial statements of the
Registrant included herein have been prepared by the Registrant pursuant to the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and, in the
opinion of management, reflect all adjustments which are necessary to present
fairly the results for the three and nine month periods ended January 31, 2000,
and 1999.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations; however,
management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information
presented not misleading.

This report should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and
footnotes therein included in the audited annual report on Form 10-KSB as of
April 30, 1999.

The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended January 31,
2000, and 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for
the full year.

2. Principle of Consolidation:

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Gyrodyne Company of America, Inc. ("GCA") and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

3. Earnings Per Share:

Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by
the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the
period. Dilutive earnings per share give effect to stock options and warrants
which are considered to be dilutive common stock equivalents. Treasury shares
have been excluded from the weighted average number of shares.

The following is a reconciliation of the weighted average shares:

                                     Nine months ended       Three Months Ended
                                       January 31,               January 31,
                                      2000        1999        2000        1999

- -----------------------------------=============================================

4. Income Taxes:

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between
financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured
using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences
are expected to reverse.

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
      Operation

The Company recorded a net loss after tax of $4,636 for the three month period
ending January 31, 2000 compared to net income of $423,574 for the same period
last year. For the most part, this decrease of $428,210 to last year's result is
attributable to a nonrecurring November, 1998 payment of $760,000 pertaining to
Gyrodyne's Technology Transfer Agreement with Dornier GmbH. On a year to date
basis, net income for the nine months ended totaled $138,633 compared to
$293,053 for the same period last year. Here again, the Dornier payment in last
year's results coupled with $410,000 in current year proceeds from the sale of
our oil and aerospace assets are the major contributors for period to period
variances; other factors are discussed in the ensuing analysis.

Per share earnings for the current quarter were $0.00 while earnings of $0.13
per share were recorded for the nine month period. Earnings per share totaled
$0.39 and $0.27 for the prior year periods, respectively.

Revenue from rental property totaled $582,652 and $1,751,996 for the three and
nine month reporting period. This compares to $566,568 and $1,643,526 for last
year, respectively, and represents a $108,470 or 6.6% increase over prior year
to date results. The improvement is primarily attributable to contractual
increments in current leases and the rental of additional space to existing and
new tenants.

Costs associated with operating the property declined by $55,901 for the quarter
and totaled $294,897 compared to $350,798 the prior year. The expenses
associated with maintenance on buildings and grounds, salaries and the cost of
insurance all reflect decreases as compared to the prior year. This 16% cost
reduction helped bring our year-to-date expenses of $1,012,958 in line with the
prior year total of $987,627.

As a result, income from rental property improved for both the quarter and nine
month periods amounting to $287,755 and $739,038, respectively, as compared to
$215,770 and $655,899 the prior year. The year-to-date improvement amounts to
$83,139 or approximately 13%.

General and administrative expenses continue to reflect increases over prior
year periods. For the quarter, these costs totaled $303,922 compared to last
year at $247,216. Likewise, for the nine months ending January 31, 2000 general
and administrative expenses totaled $966,137 vs. $754,060 the prior year. Salary
expense increased $54,750, legal and consulting increased $126,981 and corporate
governance expenses pertaining primarily to our annual shareholders' meeting
experienced a $47,938 increment.

The Company experienced losses from operations of $16,167 and $227,099 for the
current three and nine month periods compared to prior year losses of $31,446
and $98,161, respectively.

Other income, which reflects the nonrecurring events (the Dornier payment and
the sale of oil and aerospace assets) mentioned earlier in this report, totaled
$9,639 for the quarter and $466,322 for the nine month reporting period compared
to $737,473 and $587,841 for the prior year, respectively.

As of January 31, 2000 the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1,395,638
and working capital of $1,445,856 and anticipates having the capacity to fund
normal operating and administrative expenses as well as its regular debt service
requirements.

Capitalized expenses associated with the Company's Flowerfield property amounted
to $253,895 for the nine months and cumulatively total $1,275,229 to date.

The results of operations for both the quarter and nine month period ending
January 31, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of nor should they be used in
projecting annual or future operating results.

Subsequent to the close of business for this current period, the Company
received a ten-acre change of zone approval for the construction of an assisted
living facility to be developed by Marriott Senior Living Services (MSLS), a
division of Marriott


                                  Seq. Page 7

International, Inc. Terms of the long-term land lease with MSLS call for a
prepayment of rent in the amount of $2 million upon issuance of building
permits.
