NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

1. The Company:

Gyrodyne Company of America, Inc. (“Gyrodyne” or the “Company”) is a self-managed and self-administered real estate investment trust (“REIT”) formed under the laws of the State of New York. The Company manages its business as one operating segment. Prior to December 30, 2013, the Company’s primary business was the investment in and the acquisition, ownership and management of a geographically diverse portfolio of medical office, industrial and development of industrial and residential properties located in the Northeast region of the United States. On December 30, 2013, the Company distributed to its shareholders, as the non-cash portion of the special dividend announced on September 12, 2013 (the “Special Dividend”), all of the equity interests of its subsidiary Gyrodyne Special Distribution LLC (“GSD”), which owned 100% of the interests (through GSD’s subsidiaries) in the Company’s four real estate properties, subject to related mortgage debt in favor of Flowerfield Mortgage Inc. (“FMI”), also a subsidiary of the Company, with ~~the Company~~ Flowerfield Properties, Inc. (“FPI”), having the contractual right to manage the business and properties of GSD. Based on management provisions set forth in GSD’s limited liability company agreement which designates sole management authority in the Company, the Company concluded that GSD is a variable interest entity and that GSD’s financial statements should be consolidated with the Company’s. Accordingly, we may use references to "we" or "our" to refer to the Company, taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”), FPI and GSD, and "the Company's properties" or "GSD's properties", or “TRS’s properties”, or “FPI’s properties” (or derivations thereof) interchangeably in this report. In that connection, however, it should be noted that GSD has legal title to the properties and will incur any operating or capital losses resulting from the properties, due to risks as outlined below or otherwise. However, such losses may adversely impact GSD's ability to meet debt service obligations and or repayments of mortgages to FMI or payment of management fees or result in capital needs at GSD that might require additional capital from the Company, or external sources.

Substantially all of GSD’s properties are subject to net leases in which the tenant reimburses GSD for a portion, all of or substantially all of the costs and/ or cost increases for utilities, insurance, repairs and maintenance, and real estate taxes. Certain leases provide that GSD is responsible for certain operating expenses.

As of ~~March~~June 3130, 2015, the Company had an investment in three separate mortgages due from GSD aggregating $12,~~645~~399,~~754~~645 and a receivable under a revolving line of credit of $46,~~952~~240,~~914~~397. The mortgages and revolving line of credit contain a 5% effective rate and both principal and interest are eliminated in consolidation. The mortgages contain a first lien on the medical parks related real estate owned by GSD. Additionally, the Company, through FPI owns a 10.12% limited partnership interest in Callery Judge Grove, L.P. (the “Grove”), a limited partnership, which in 2013 sold its only property, an undeveloped Florida property (the “Grove Property”). For further information see Footnote 18.

Following the December 30, 2013 distribution of all of the common membership interests of GSD to the Company’s shareholders in the Special Dividend, the Company through FPI has been managing GSD, initially pursuant to the terms of GSD’s limited liability company agreement (the “GSD Agreement”) which names the Company as the managing member. The GSD Agreement provides that the managing member has sole and absolute discretion regarding the management and affairs of GSD. In its capacity as GSD’s managing member, the Company has unilateral authority, without seeking GSD shareholder approval, over the management of the real estate assets, including leasing and sale of its real estate holdings and the execution of any agency and brokerage agreements to facilitate such leases and sales, investing in its real estate holdings through capital improvements and proceeding strategically while seeking to maximize the value of the undeveloped Flowerfield property. Under GSD’s limited liability company agreement, the Company is entitled to market-rate compensation for its services as well as reimbursement for any costs and expenses incurred by and properly allocable to GSD. In April 2014, the Company’s board of directors approved a cost-plus based management fee to be charged by the Company through FPI to GSD (see ~~footnote~~Footnote 45 for additional detail on the methodology of the cost plus mark-up), which percentage falls in the lower quartile of similar fees charged by comparable companies according to a benchmarking study. Pursuant to the GSD Agreement, the Company was obligated to provide an initial liquidity facility to GSD in an amount not to exceed $2.5 million~~, which amount the Company may determine from time to time~~. The board of directors has since authorized an increase in the revolving line of credit to $57.50 million. The interest on the debt facilities payable by GSD to the Company is REIT qualified income. The foregoing income earned by the Company for managing GSD is not deemed to be REIT qualified income and therefore is appropriately managed by and payable to its taxable REIT subsidiary, FPI.

The Company, through its managing member control of GSD (albeit with no ownership interest) controls two medical office parks and ten of fourteen buildings in a third medical park, together comprising approximately 131,000 rentable square feet and a multitenant industrial park comprising approximately 130,000 rentable square feet. In addition, the Company, through the same managing member control, maintains approximately 68 acres of property in St. James, New York.

The Company believes it has qualified, and expects to continue to qualify, as a REIT under Section 856(c) (1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended (the “Code”). Accordingly, the Company generally will not be subject to federal and state income tax, provided that distributions to its shareholders equal at least 90% of its REIT taxable income as defined under the Code. The Company is permitted to participate in certain activities from which it was previously precluded in order to maintain its qualifications as a REIT. However, these activities must be conducted in an entity which elected to be treated as a ~~taxable REIT subsidiary (“~~TRS”) under the Code. The Company has one taxable REIT subsidiary which is subject to federal and state income tax on the income from these activities.

The Company conducts its operations either directly or indirectly through (1) property owning subsidiaries and lender subsidiaries, or (2) Flowerfield Properties, Inc. a wholly owned TRS. Property owner subsidiaries are landlords leasing properties in which the Company has a managing member control but no ownership interest, and lender subsidiaries are lenders loaning funds where the Company made an investment in a loan asset, but in all cases these subsidiaries are separate and distinct legal entities. The Company is the sole managing member of GSD with managerial authority and investment/disposition authority. FMI is a lender subsidiary wholly owned by the Company with three loan assets secured by property held in the property owner subsidiaries.

2. Strategic Process:

On October 21, 2013, the Company filed a preliminary proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) which contains, among other matters, the board of director’s recommendation that the shareholders vote in favor of a plan of merger in which the Company and GSD would merge with and into Gyrodyne, LLC. The Company received comments from the SEC on November 18, 2013. Consequently, the Company proceeded with holding its 2013 annual meeting without seeking authorization for the merger transaction at that time because of NASDAQ rules requiring listed companies to hold an annual meeting not later than twelve months following the fiscal year end. On May 8, 2014, the Company responded to such comments and filed a revised preliminary proxy statement with the SEC. The Company received comments from the SEC on May 29, 2014 and responded to such comments and filed a revised proxy statement (Amendment No. 2) with the SEC on June 17, 2014. The Company received comments from the SEC on June 24, 2014 and responded to such comments and filed a revised proxy statement (Amendment No. 3) with the SEC on June 26, 2014. The Company received comments from the SEC on June 26, 2014 and responded to such comments and filed a definitive proxy statement (Amendment No. 4) with the SEC on July 1, 2014. On June 5, 2014, the Company announced that a special meeting of shareholders of Gyrodyne Company of America, Inc., would be held at Flowerfield Celebrations, Mills Pond Road, Saint James, New York 11780 on August 14, 2014, at 11:00 a.m., Eastern Time. At the special meeting, the Company was asking the shareholders of record on June 30, 2014 to authorize a plan of merger and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the merger of the Company and GSD with and into Gyrodyne, LLC, a subsidiary of the Company. Shareholders of record at the close of business on June 30, 2014, were entitled to vote at the special meeting or its adjournment or postponement, if any, provided such meeting takes place by August 30, 2014. On August 25, 2014, the Company announced the postponement of the special meeting. The Company rescheduled the special meeting to December 5, 2014 to allow additional time for shareholders to vote on the proposed merger and changed the shareholder record date to October 31, 2014. The Company ~~has~~had been advised by its proxy solicitor, MacKenzie Partners, that with approximately 45% of the outstanding shares voted by delivery of proxy cards, approximately 97% of such shares have been voted in favor of the merger. Despite the overwhelming percentage of received votes in favor of the merger not enough shares were voted to reach the two-thirds of the outstanding share majority needed under New York law. Accordingly, on November 4, 2014, the Company announced a further postponement of the special meeting until the ~~second~~middle ~~or third quarter~~ of 2015. Given the small size of holdings of many Gyrodyne shareholders and the nature of various holders, the Company believes many holders may not have paid enough attention to the merger to exercise their right to vote. The Company and its advisors ~~will~~ continue to analyze potential options in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders, which may include enhancements designed to facilitate the ability to complete the merger transaction. As further discussed below, on March 6, 2015, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-1 with the SEC for a rights offering to Gyrodyne’s existing shareholders. On April 10, 2015 and May 15, 2015, the Company filed amendments to the registration statement to replace the financial statements and related financial information in the original filing with updated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2014 and as of and for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, respectively and other updated financial information related thereto. Gyrodyne isconducted ~~proposing~~ the rights offering to facilitate the vote of two-thirds of the outstanding shares needed under New York law to approve the previously-announced proposed merger, as well as raise equity capital in a timely and cost-effective manner while providing all of Gyrodyne’s shareholders the opportunity to participate. On June 22, the Company announced the results of the rights offering which expired at 5:00 pm NYC time on June 17, 2015. The Company also announced on June 22, 2015 that its previously postponed special meeting of shareholders at which shareholders will be asked to authorize the previously announced merger of the Company and GSD with and into Gyrodyne LLC will be held on August 20, 2015. The Board of Directors established the close of business on June 29, 2015 as the record date for determining shareholders entitled to receive notice of and vote at the special meeting, which will begin at 11:00 a.m. eastern time and take place at Flowerfield Celebrations, Mills Pond Road, St James, NY 11780. On July 1, 2015 the Company filed a supplement to the proxy statement/prospectus dated July 1, 2014 to provide supplemental information to the proxy statement prospectus and should be read in conjunction with the proxy statement / prospectus.

Rights Offering. On March 6, 2015, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-1 with the SEC for a rights offering to Gyrodyne’s existing shareholders. On April 10, 2015 and May 15, 2015, the Company filed amendments to the registration statement to replace the financial statements and related financial information in the original filing of the Registration Statement with the updated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2014 and as of and for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, respectively, and other updated financial information related thereto. Our board of directors believes that the rights offering will facilitate the vote of two-thirds of the outstanding shares needed under New York law to approve the proposed merger. Given the small size of holdings of many Gyrodyne shareholders and the nature of various holders, we believe many holders may not have paid enough attention to the Merger to exercise their right to vote during attempts in 2014. The board of directors believes, however, that shareholders who exercise their subscription rights in the rights offering are more likely to vote their shares on the Merger proposal.

The Company is also ~~conducting~~conducted the rights offering because it ~~provides~~provided our shareholders the opportunity to participate in an offering of our shares on a pro rata basis without diluting their ownership interest in our Company. The proceeds of the rights offering will provide Gyrodyne with additional liquidity as we pursue an orderly liquidation of the properties currently owned by GSD and managed by Gyrodyne.

Gyrodyne ~~plans~~affected ~~to make~~ the rights offering through the distribution of non-transferable subscription rights to purchase shares of Gyrodyne’s common stock at $2.75 per share subject to certain aggregate ownership limitations. ~~Shareholders~~In ~~will~~the ~~receive~~rights offering, shareholders received three subscription rights for each two shares of common stock held of record on May 6, 2015, with each subscription right giving a shareholder the right to purchase one share of common stock. The ~~proposed~~ rights offering ~~will~~ also ~~include~~included an over-subscription privilege, which ~~will~~entitled ~~entitle~~ each rights holder that ~~exercises~~exercised its basic subscription privilege in full, the right to purchase additional shares of common stock that ~~remain~~remained unsubscribed at the expiration of the rights offering, subject to the availability and pro rata allocation of shares among persons exercising this over-subscription right. The ~~Assuming it is fully subscribed, Gyrodyne currently expects to receive gross proceeds of $6,116,055 from the~~ rights offering. ~~Gyrodyne~~did ~~intends~~not tocontain an ~~conduct~~over-allotment ~~the special meeting to authorize the merger as soon as reasonably possible after the consummation of the rights offering~~option.

Merger Allocation Adjustments. The Plan of Merger originally provided for an allocation of Gyrodyne LLC Shares to be issued in the Merger of 15.2% to Gyrodyne shareholders, 29.2% to the holders of the Dividend Notes and 55.6% to the holders of common shares of GSD (collectively, the “Initial Allocations”). The Plan of Merger as revised by the December 2013 amendment provides that each of the Initial Allocations set forth therein of Gyrodyne LLC Shares to be issued in the Merger in exchange for Gyrodyne common shares, GSD Interests and interests in the Dividend Note are subject to adjustment in the discretion of the Gyrodyne board of directors. The Plan of Merger provides that any changes made to the Initial Allocations will be announced at least ten days prior to the meeting of shareholders at which shareholders of Gyrodyne will be asked to consider and vote upon the Plan of Merger.

At a board of directors meeting held on April 24, 2015, our directors determined to adjust the allocation of common shares of Gyrodyne, LLC to be issued pursuant to the Merger to account for certain developments since such allocations were originally set in December 2013. ~~Assuming~~The ~~the full exercise of the subscription rights in the rights offering, the~~ common shares of Gyrodyne, LLC to be issued in the Merger will be allocated as follows:

●

Approximately 22.6% in the aggregate to Gyrodyne shareholders;

● Approximately 30.0% in the aggregate to holders of interests in dividend notes issued by Gyrodyne in the aggregate principal amount of $17,~~533~~937,000 (the “Dividend Notes”); and

●

Approximately 47.4% in the aggregate to holders of common shares of GSD.

Gyrodyne’s board of directors determined the foregoing allocation adjustments based on the increase in the adjusted net book value of Gyrodyne shares due to the rights offering and the anticipated net proceeds to Gyrodyne of $5,606,000 from the rights offering (actual net proceeds was $5,624,324), assuming all 2,224,020 shares ~~are~~were sold. In addition, the ~~allocation~~allocations ~~reflects~~reflect adjusted net book value, face value and “fair value” (based on appraised values of underlying properties owned by GSD, less liabilities) of Gyrodyne, the Dividend Notes and GSD, respectively, in each case as of December 31, 2014. This methodology is consistent with the valuation metrics used to determine the original allocations in December, 2013. On June 17, 2015, we completed the Rights Offering wherein we issued 2,224,020 shares at $2.75 per share and received the net proceeds of $5,624,324 (Gross proceeds of $6,116,055 less direct expenses of the Rights offering of $491,731).

The board of directors retains the discretion to change the allocations up to ten days prior to the special shareholder meeting for the vote of the merger. The board of directors anticipates the special shareholder meeting will take place in the third quarter of 2015.

3. Significant accounting policies:

The below disclosures are an excerpt and part of the significant accounting policies disclosed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, all of which remain applicable to the Company.

Revenue recognition – Base rents from rental properties are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases. The excess of rents recognized over amounts contractually due, if any, are included in deferred rents receivable on the Company's balance sheets. Alternatively, rents received in advance of rents recognized, if any, are included in deferred rent liability on the Company’s balance sheet. Certain leases also provide for tenant reimbursements of common area maintenance, other operating expenses and real estate taxes all of which are reported in tenant reimbursements on the consolidated statements of operations. Ancillary and other property related income is recognized in the period earned.

Gains on sales of real estate - Gains on sales of real estate are recognized based upon the specific timing of the sale as measured against various criteria related to the terms of the transactions and any continuing involvement associated with the properties. If the sales criteria are not met, the gain is deferred and the finance, installment or cost recovery method, as appropriate, is applied until the sales criteria are met. To the extent the GSD sells a property and retains a partial ownership interest in the property, the Company recognizes gain to the extent of the third-party ownership interest.

Assets Held For Sale and Discontinued Operations- Assets and liabilities of properties that meet various held for sale criteria, including whether it is probable that a sale will occur within 12 months, are presented separately in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as “Assets held for Sale”, with assets and liabilities being separately stated. The operating results of these properties are reflected as discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Properties classified as held for sale are carried at the lower of net carrying value or estimated fair value less costs to sell and depreciation and amortization are no longer recognized. Properties that do not meet the held for sale criteria are accounted for as operating properties.

4. Basis of Quarterly Presentations:

The accompanying quarterly financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The financial statements of the Company included herein have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments which are necessary to present fairly the results for the three and six-month periods ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2015 and 2014.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP 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~~Certain ~~report~~information ~~should~~and befootnote ~~read~~disclosures innormally ~~conjunction~~included ~~with~~in ~~the audited~~ financial statements ~~and~~prepared ~~footnotes therein included~~ in ~~the~~accordance ~~Annual~~with ~~Report~~GAAP onhave ~~Form~~been ~~10-K~~condensed ~~for~~or ~~the~~omitted ~~year~~pursuant ~~ended~~to ~~December~~such ~~31,~~rules ~~2014~~ and ~~with~~regulations; ~~the~~however, ~~definitive~~management ~~proxy~~believes ~~statement/prospectus~~that ~~filed with~~ the ~~SEC~~disclosures onare ~~July~~adequate 1,to ~~2014,~~make ~~and~~ the ~~S-1/A~~information ~~filed~~presented ~~with~~not ~~the SEC on May 15, 2015~~misleading.

The results of operations for the six-month period ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

5. Principles of Consolidation:

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Gyrodyne Company of America, Inc. and all majority owned subsidiaries. The Company consolidates its wholly owned subsidiaries, partnerships and joint ventures which it controls (i) through voting rights or similar rights or (ii) by means other than voting rights if the Company is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity ("VIE"). If an investment is determined to be a VIE, the Company performs an analysis to determine if the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. GAAP requires a VIE to be consolidated by its primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the party that has a controlling financial interest in an entity. In order for a party to have a controlling financial interest in an entity, it must have (1) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and (2) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of an entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

The Company's consolidated VIE, GSD, was determined to be a VIE primarily because the Company has the power to direct activities of GSD that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the entity. GSD owns all of the real estate that was previously owned by the Company prior to the distribution of ownership interests in GSD to the Company’s shareholders on December 30, 2013. GSD owes mortgage obligations payable to a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company of $12,~~645~~399,~~754~~645 and $12,889,463 as of ~~March~~June 3130, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. As previously discussed in the Company’s 2013 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K, the estimated fair value of the real estate net of its mortgage obligations and other direct liabilities was $30,685,000 on December 30, 2013. At ~~March~~June 3130, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the net book value of GSD was $1514,~~103~~332,~~956~~862 and $15,805,548, respectively. GSD is essentially being managed and operated by the Company, through FPI, where the Company is the primary obligor for liabilities incurred on behalf of GSD. As a result, the Company could be held liable for current and future obligations of GSD, and in turn it would be the Company’s obligation to seek reimbursement from GSD.

Investments in affiliates in which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, are accounted for under the equity method. The Company did not have any such investments at ~~March~~June 3130, 2015. Investment interests in excess of 5% in limited partnerships are accounted for under the equity method. All consolidated subsidiaries are wholly owned. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. There were no investments accounted for under the equity method as of ~~March~~June 3130, 2015.

Management Services Arrangements

All references to Gyrodyne or the Company within the Management Services Arrangement and referenced below, refer to Flowerfield Properties, Inc. (“FPI”).

Under GSD’s Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement, Gyrodyne through FPI, in Gyrodyne’s capacity as managing member of GSD, is entitled to market-rate compensation for its services as well as reimbursement for any costs and expenses incurred by and properly allocable to GSD. Gyrodyne also iswas obligated to provide an initial liquidity facility to GSD in an amount not to exceed $2.5 million~~, which Gyrodyne may determine from time to time~~. ~~Through March 31~~Subsequently, ~~2015,~~ the board of directors has authorized increases in the revolving line of credit to $57.50 million.

Taking into account a number of factors, including a management services benchmarking study commissioned by Gyrodyne, ~~Gyrodyne~~ Company of America, Inc., (“the Company”), the Company entered into a Management Services Agreement (the “Agreement”) between the Company, and GSD, on December 24, 2014 pursuant to which the Company agreed to continue providing certain management services to GSD. ~~The~~Management ~~management~~ services include acquisition and disposition services, asset management services, accounting and other administrative services, property management services and shareholder services.

Pursuant to the Agreement, in consideration for these services:

● GSD will reimburse Gyrodyne for 85% of Gyrodyne's General and Administrative (G&A) Expenses and pay a fee to Gyrodyne equal to 8.5% of such reimbursed amount; plus

● GSD will reimburse Gyrodyne for all rental expenses, whether value added (such as contractor and payroll expenses) or non-value added (such as utilities and taxes) paid by Gyrodyne in respect of the Contributed Properties; plus

● GSD will pay a fee to Gyrodyne equal to 8.5% of all value added rental expenses paid by Gyrodyne in respect of the Contributed Properties, but no fee will be payable in respect of non-value added rental expenses; plus

● GSD will reimburse 100% (without mark-up) of any bonuses (under the Retention Bonus Plan (See "Interests of Our Directors and Executive Officers—Retention Bonus Plan") or otherwise) paid by Gyrodyne to its employees and directors and related payroll taxes on account of any sales of the Contributed Properties; plus

● Gyrodyne will be entitled to interest at the rate of 5.0% per annum on any funds advanced by Gyrodyne pursuant to the liquidity facility made available to GSD.

Management fees, excluding reimbursement of costs, paid to FPI for the three month period ending March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively were $82,982 and $88,878 respectively. In addition, interest expense paid or payable by GSD to the Company on the outstanding mortgage and revolving line of credit for the three-month period ending March 31, 2015 and 2014 were $218,004 and $170,174, respectively.

7. Real Estate Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations:

Assets and liabilities of properties that meet various held for sale criteria, including whether it is probable that a sale will occur within 12 months, are presented separately in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as “Assets held for Sale”, with assets and liabilities being separately stated. The operating results of these properties are reflected as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Properties classified as held for sale are carried at the lower of net carrying value or estimated fair value less costs to sell and depreciation and amortization are no longer recognized. Properties that do not meet the held for sale criteria are accounted for as operating properties.

As of April 1, 2014, all of the assets and liabilities that relate to the Cortlandt Manor Medical Center and the Fairfax Medical Center were reported as assets held for sale, and liabilities held for sale, respectively. Additionally, all of the operations related to the Cortlandt Manor Medical Center and the Fairfax Medical Center were reported as discontinued operations, and were reported as such in the unaudited consolidated financial statements. The prior period assets and liabilities and operations related to these entities were recast as assets and liabilities held for sale, and discontinued operations retroactively for all periods presented on the Company’s quarterly reports for the second and third quarters of 2014.

The Company has not sold the Cortlandt Manor and Fairfax properties. In addition, in early 2015, the Company became aware that various aspects of the plaintiff’s claims in a putative class action lawsuit against the Company, members of the Company’s board of directors, GSD and Gyrodyne, LLC were interfering with the aforementioned proposed sale of such properties. The defendants believe the lawsuit is without merit. The Company will vigorously defend such action and take steps to seek to eliminate the issues created by the pending action that are impeding the sale. The Company believes that the issues will be resolved in the Company’s favor and that it will be able to liquidate the properties proposed to be sold with no impact to fair value, assuming the market itself does not materially change during the period the Company needs to resolve such issues. As a result of this interference in the sale process, however, the Company believes that as of December 31, 2014, it no longer met the requirements for such assets and liabilities to qualify as assets and liabilities as held for sale and discontinued operations and therefore has reclassified them to operating assets and liabilities and continuing operations and is not reporting discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2014 or for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

7. Real Estate Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations:

FASB ASC Topic 360-10, Property, Plant and Equipment – Overall requires a long-lived asset to be classified as “held for sale” in the period in which certain criteria are met. The Company classifies real estate assets and their related liabilities as held for sale after the following conditions have been satisfied: (1) the receipt of approval from its board of directors to sell the asset, (2) the initiation of an active program to sell the asset, and (3) the asset is available for immediate sale and it is probable that the sale of the asset will be completed within one year. When assets are classified as held for sale, they are recorded at the lower of the assets’ carrying amount or, fair value less the estimated selling costs.

The Company and Gyrodyne Special Distribution LLC, its consolidated Variable Interest Entity, periodically classifies real estate assets as held for sale, and these assets and their liabilities are stated separately on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. During the second quarter of 2014, the Company’s board of directors approved the hiring of real estate brokers to facilitate the sale of the Cortlandt Manor Medical Center and Fairfax Medical Center. The Company expected to complete the sale of these properties within one year. Accordingly, as of April 1, 2014, all of the assets and liabilities that relate to the Cortlandt Manor Medical Center and the Fairfax Medical Center were reported as assets held for sale, and liabilities held for sale, respectively. Additionally, all of the operations related to the Cortlandt Manor Medical Center and the Fairfax Medical Center were reported as discontinued operations, and were reported as such in the unaudited consolidated financial statements.

The Company has not sold the Cortlandt Manor and Fairfax properties. In early 2015, the Company became aware that various aspects of the plaintiff’s claims in a putative class action lawsuit against the Company, members of the Company’s board of directors, GSD and Gyrodyne, LLC were interfering with the aforementioned proposed sale of such properties. The defendants believe the lawsuit is without merit. The Company will vigorously defend such action and take steps to seek to eliminate the issues created by the pending action that are impeding the sale. The Company believes that the issues will be resolved in the Company’s favor and that it will be able to liquidate the properties proposed to be sold with no impact to fair value, assuming the market itself does not materially change during the period the Company needs to resolve such issues. As a result of this interference in the sale process, however, the Company believed that as of December 31, 2014, it no longer met the requirements for such assets and liabilities to qualify as assets and liabilities as held for sale and discontinued operations and therefore had reclassified them to operating assets and liabilities and continuing operations and did not report discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2014 or for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

In June 2015, the Company entered into a stipulation with the plaintiff, subsequently approved by the Supreme Court of New York State, County of Suffolk, in July 2015, that removed the factors interfering with the aforementioned proposed sale of such properties. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2015, all of the assets and liabilities that relate to the Cortlandt Manor Medical Center and the Fairfax Medical Center were reported as assets held for sale, and liabilities held for sale, respectively. Additionally, all of the operations related to the Cortlandt Manor Medical Center and the Fairfax Medical Center for the three and six-months ended June 30, 2015 were reported as discontinued operations, and were reported as such in the unaudited consolidated financial statements. The prior period assets and liabilities and operations related to these entities were recast as assets and liabilities held for sale, and discontinued operations retroactively for all periods presented on the Company’s quarterly report.

The Company expects to complete the sale of these properties within one year.

The results of operations and the gains or losses from operating properties that are held for sale and or disposed of in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 360-10, Property, Plant and Equipment – Overall. These assets and their liabilities are separately stated on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as “assets held for sale” or liabilities related to assets held for sale. Gains and losses, the results of operations, interest expense, and all expenses related to the retirement of debt from operating properties that are disposed of are included in discontinued operations in the period incurred and are shown separately in the condensed consolidated statements of operations as income from discontinued operations.

The following table summarizes the discontinued operations for the three and six-months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 (unaudited):

The Company assesses on a regular basis whether there are any indicators that the carrying value of its real estate assets may be impaired. Potential indicators may include an increase in vacancy at a property, tenant reduction in utilization of a property, tenant financial instability and the potential sale of the property in the near future. An asset is determined to be impaired if the asset's carrying value is in excess of its estimated fair value. During the three and six-months ended June 30, 2015 the company did not recognize any impairment charges. During the second quarter of 2014, the Company recognized aggregate impairment charges of $200,000 on real estate assets classified in continuing operations. (See Footnote 18).

8. Investment in Marketable Securities:

The Company determines the appropriate classification of securities at the time of purchase and reassesses the appropriateness of such classification at each reporting date. All marketable securities held by the Company have been classified as available-for-sale and, as a result, are stated at fair value, based on a pricing model that incorporates coupon type, prepayment speeds and the type of collateral backing the securities. Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are recorded as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Any realized gains and losses on the sale of securities, as determined on a first-in, first-out basis, will be included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company reviews its investments on a regular basis to evaluate whether or not each security has experienced an other-than-temporary decline in fair value. If it is believed that an other-than-temporary decline exists, the Company will write down the investment to market value and record the related write-down in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The historical cost and estimated fair value of investments in marketable securities available for sale as of ~~March~~June 3130, 2015 and December 31, 2014 are as follows:

	March 31, 2015		December 31, 2014
		June 30, 2015			December 31, 2014
Amortized cost	$	~~5,718,872~~$	$5,478,574	~~5,931,387~~	$	5,931,387
Gross Unrealized Gains		59,814		18,711

Fair Value*	$	5,778,686	$	5,950,098

*The Company received $~~212~~452,~~515~~813 in principal repayments during the ~~three~~ six-months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2015

The Company’s investment is in conforming agency fixed rate mortgage pass through securities (“mortgage-backed securities)”, each of which contained either AA or AAA ratings, the principal of which is fully guaranteed by agencies of the U.S. Government. At ~~March~~June 3130, 2015 and December 31, 2014, marketable securities based on amortized cost, reflect a yield of approximately 2%, have contractual maturities of 15 or 30 years and an adjusted duration of less than four years. The fair value of mortgage-backed securities was estimated based on a Level 2 methodology, additional details of which are discussed further in Note 18 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments. None of the ~~securities had~~ unrealized losses ~~at March 31, 2015 and none of the prior years unrealized losses~~ were considered to be other-than-temporarily impaired; therefore the ~~prior year~~ unrealized losses were reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss) and the reversal of those losses were also reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

9. Notes Payable:

The transfer of the properties by the Company to GSD resulted in the recognition of approximately $28.4 million of capital gain income by the Company in 2013. Giving effect to offsetting deductions, the Company determined that it would have approximately $18 million in REIT income for 2013. In order to satisfy applicable REIT distribution requirements, on December 20, 2013, the Company declared an additional dividend, payable to the Company’s shareholders of record as of December 31, 2013 on January 31, 2014. The Second Special Dividend was paid in the form of interests in a subordinated global dividend note due June 30, 2017 (“Dividend Note”) aggregating $16,150,000 ($10.89 per share) in principal amount. The Dividend Note bears interest at 5.0% per annum, payable semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 of each year, commencing June 15, 2014, and may be payable in cash or in the form of additional notes. On June 16, 2014, ~~and~~ December 15, 2014, and June 15, 2015 the initial, second and ~~second~~third semi-annual interest ~~payment~~payments on the Dividend Note ~~was~~were paid in kind in the form of uncertificated interests in asubordinated global ~~subordinated~~notes ~~note~~ due June 30, 2017 in the principal amount of $302,813 and $403,750, and $403,750, respectively, that otherwise isare identical to the Dividend Note other than as to the initial semi-annual interest payment date thereunder.

15On September 12, 2014, the board of directors declared a special supplemental dividend in the amount of $682,033 or $0.46 per share of Gyrodyne common stock. The dividend was paid in the form of non-transferrable interests in a subordinated global dividend note on December 31, 2014 to all shareholders of record on September 26, 2014. The dividend was intended to prevent the imposition of federal corporate income tax on the Company’s previously undistributed 2013 REIT taxable income.

At a board of directors meeting held on April 24, 2015, our directors determined to adjust the allocation of common shares of Gyrodyne, LLC to be issued pursuant to the Merger to account for certain developments since such allocations were originally set in December 2013. The Merger, if approved by 2/3 of all outstanding shares at a special shareholder meeting scheduled for August 20, 2015 will be consummated on August 31, 2015. The consummation of the merger will result in converting the total notes payable and accrued interest into 30% of the common shares of Gyrodyne, LLC.

10. Earnings per Share:

Basic earnings per common share are computed by dividing net (loss) income, attributable to Gyrodyne, by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted 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 Company does not have any outstanding common stock equivalents as of ~~March~~June 3130, 2015, and 2014.

12. Retirement Plans:

On November 25, 2013 the Company’s board of directors voted to terminate the noncontributory defined benefit pension plan (the “Plan”), subject to regulatory approval, and is ~~has begun~~ continuing the process of termination. On February 28, 2014, the Company submitted the necessary application and related documents to the IRS and to the Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation (“PBGC”) in August 2014. Both the PBGC and the IRS must approve the termination. ~~The Company expects to receive the approval from the PBGC and the IRS in the second quarter of 2015.~~

17During the six-months ended June 30, 2015, the Company made a $183,500 contribution to the Plan to supplement the liquidity needs to meet lump sum distribution elections. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2014, the Company did not make any contribution to the Plan. While the Company does not have a minimum required contribution for the December 31, 2015 plan year, as a result of the termination of the pension plan, in addition to the prior contribution, the Company may have to make a contribution of up to approximately $1,936,214 to satisfy the lump sum payment options and/or to purchase annuities. The aforementioned funding obligation excludes the certain Plan investments in illiquid assets that cannot be utilized to meet the Plans funding obligations unless the merger is approved and consummated. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the value under a level three methodology of such assets was $800,767. Assuming the merger is consummated, the illiquid assets will become liquid and could be sold with the resulting net proceeds utilized to reduce the aforementioned funding obligation.

During the three-months ended March 31, 2015, the Company made a $183,500 contribution to the Plan to supplement the liquidity needs to meet lump sum distribution elections. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2014, the Company did not make any contribution to the Plan. While the Company does not have a minimum required contribution for the December 31, 2015 plan year, as a result of the termination of the pension plan, in addition to the prior contribution, the Company may have to make a contribution of up to approximately $1,864,000 to satisfy the lump sum payment options and/or to purchase annuities.

13. Incentive Compensation Plan:

Benefits under the Company’s Incentive Compensation Plan (the “ICP”) are realized upon either a Change-in-Control (as defined in the ICP) of the Company, or upon the issuance by the Company of an “Excess Dividend” (as defined in the ICP) following certain asset sales. The ICP provides that payments made in connection with an Excess Dividend may not exceed the hypothetical ICP payments that would have been made had there instead been a Change in Control transaction consummated on the dividend payment date. The ICP payments that would have been made had there been a Change in Control transaction consummated on December 30, 2013, the payment date of the $98,685,000 special dividend, were approximately $5,277,800. The ICP payments actually made in respect of the $68,000,000 cash portion of the special dividend totaled $5,044,600. Consequently, remaining ICP payments to be made in connection with the special dividend when and to the extent that GSD holders receive cash in respect of their GSD interests may not exceed $233,200 ($5,277,800 - $5,044,600).

14. Retention Bonus Plan:

In May 2014, our board of directors ~~authorized~~approved a Retention Bonus Plan designed to recognize the nature and scope of the responsibilities related to such business plan, to reward and incent performance in connection therewith, to align the interests of directors, executives and employees with our shareholders and to retain such persons during the term of the plan. The Retention Bonus Plan provides for bonuses to directors and officers and employees determined by the gross sales proceeds from the sale of each property and the date of sale.

The Retention Bonus Plan consists of a bonus pool that would be funded with an amount equal to 5% of the specified appraised value of each of the Contributed Properties (set forth in the plan), so long as the gross selling price of a property is equal to or greater than 100% of its appraised value (based on appraisals utilized to support the value of the real estate included in the non-cash dividend distributed on December 30, 2013). Additional funding of the bonus pool would occur on a property-by-property basis when the gross sales price of a property is in excess of its appraised value as follows: 10% on the first 10% of appreciation, 15% on the next 10% of appreciation and 20% on appreciation greater than 20%. Furthermore, if a specified property is sold on or before a designated date specified in the Retention Bonus Plan, an additional amount equal to 2% of the gross selling price of such property also would be funded into the bonus pool.

1821

The bonus pool is distributable in the following proportions to the named participants in the bonus plan for so long as they are directors or employees of the Company, GSD or Gyrodyne, LLC: 15% for the Chairman, 50% for the directors other than the chairman (10% for each of the other five directors) and 35% (the “Employee Pool”) for the Company’s executives and employees. Such share of the bonus pool is earned only upon the completion of the sale of a property at a gross selling price equal to or greater than its appraised value and is paid to the named beneficiaries of the Retention Bonus Plan or their designees within 60 days of the completion of such sale or, if later, within 60 days of receipt of any subsequent post-completion installment payment related to such sale. All allocations to individual beneficiaries in the Employee Pool shall be determined ~~from time to time~~ by the board of directors of the Company or its successor in consultation with its President.

Pursuant to the terms of the Management Services Arrangement, the foregoing bonus payments made by the Company will be reimbursed by GSD (See ~~Note~~Footnote 5, “Management Services Arrangements”).

15. Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and securities issued with the guarantee of U.S. Government Agencies. The Company places its temporary cash investments with high credit quality financial institutions and generally limits the amount of credit exposure in any one financial institution. The Company maintains bank account balances, which exceed insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes that it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash. Management does not believe significant credit risk existed at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

Other commitments and contingencies As of June 30, 2015, other commitments and contingencies are summarized in the below table:

Incentive Compensation Plan	$	233,200
Management Employment agreements with bonus and severance commitment contingencies		600,000
Other employee severance commitment contingencies		76,000
Total	$	909,200

Employment agreements - The Company has compensation arrangements with its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (collectively, the “Agreements”), each executed during the quarter ended June 30, 2013. Each of the Agreements contains a bonus of $125,000 payable upon a change of control as defined in the agreements. In addition, each agreement provides for severance equivalent to 6 months of base salary and the vesting and related payment of the change of control bonus.

The Company also has a compensation arrangement with its Chief Operating Officer executed on May 8, 2014 which provides for severance equivalent to 6 months of base salary.

Under Company policy the aggregate severance commitment contingency to other employees is approximately $76,000.

As of ~~December~~June 3130, ~~2014~~2015, the commitment related to severance is approximately $676,000.

Excluded from the above contingency amounts are retention bonuses that may ultimately be payable under the Retention Bonus Plan, but which ~~the~~ amounts, if any, ~~or top end of the range~~ cannot be determined at this time.

Retention Bonus Plan –In May 2014, our board of directors ~~authorized~~approved a Retention Bonus Plan designed to recognize the nature and scope of the responsibilities related to the Company’s business plan, to reward and incent performance in connection therewith, to align the interests of directors, executives and employees with our shareholders and to retain such persons during the term of such plan. The Retention Bonus Plan provides for bonuses to directors and discretionary bonuses to officers and employees determined by the gross sales proceeds from the sale of each property and the date of sale.

The Retention Bonus Plan consists of a bonus pool funded with an amount equal to 5% of the specified appraised value of each of the Contributed Properties (set forth in the Plan), so long as the gross selling price of a property is equal to or greater than 100% of its appraised value (based on appraisals utilized to support the value of the real estate included in the non-cash dividend distributed on December 30, 2013). Additional funding of the bonus pool will occur on a property-by-property basis when the gross sales price of a property is in excess of its appraised value as follows: 10% on the first 10% of appreciation, 15% on the next 10% of appreciation and 20% on appreciation greater than 20%. Furthermore, if a specified property is sold on or before a designated date specified in the Retention Bonus Plan, an additional amount equal to 2% of the gross selling price of such property also is funded into the bonus pool.

The bonus pool is distributable in the following proportions to the named participants in the bonus plan for so long as they are directors or employees of the Company, GSD or Gyrodyne, LLC: 15% for the Chairman, 50% for the directors other than the Chairman (10% for each of the other five directors) and 35% (the “Employee Pool”) for the Company’s executives and employees. Such share of the bonus pool is earned only upon the completion of the sale of a property at a gross selling price equal to or greater than its appraised value and is paid to the named beneficiaries of the Retention Bonus Plan or their designees within 60 days of the completion of such sale or, if later, within 60 days of receipt of any subsequent post-completion installment payment related to such sale. All allocations to individual beneficiaries of the Employee Pool shall be determined by the board of directors of the Company or its successor in consultation with its President.

17. Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, “Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360), Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity.” ASU 2014-08 on Discontinued Operations changes the criteria for determining which disposals can be presented as discontinued operations and modified related disclosure requirements. Under the new guidance, a discontinued operation is defined as: (i) a disposal of a component or group of components that is disposed of or is classified as held for sale that represents a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results or (ii) an acquired business or nonprofit activity that is classified as held for sale on the date of acquisition. The standard states that a strategic shift could include a disposal of (i) a major geographical area of operations, (ii) a major line of business, (iii) a major equity method investment, or (iv) other major parts of an entity. Under the current US GAAP, an entity is prohibited from reporting a discontinued operation if it has certain continuing cash flows or involvement component after the disposal. The new guidance eliminates these criteria. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years and interim periods ending after December 15, 2014. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Early adoption is permitted for disposals or assets held for sale that have not been reported in the financial statements previously issued or available for issuance. The Company has elected to early adopt this standard as of January 1, 2014.

2023

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” The amendments in this Update create Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and supersede the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, including most industry-specific revenue recognition guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Codification. In addition, the amendments supersede the cost guidance in Subtopic 605-35, Revenue Recognition—Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts, and create new Subtopic 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs—Contracts with Customers. In summary, the core principle of Topic 606 is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The amendments in this Update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application is not permitted. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements (Subtopic 205-40), Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (“ASU No. 2014-15”)”. The amendments in ASU No. 2014-15 require management to evaluate, for each annual and interim reporting period, whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or are available to be issued when applicable) and, if so, provide related disclosures. ASU No. 2014-15 is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted for annual or interim reporting periods for which the financial statements have not previously been issued. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material effect on Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, “Consolidation (Topic 810) - Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis.” The amendments in this update provide guidance on evaluating whether a company should consolidate certain legal entities. In accordance with the guidance, all legal entities are subject to reevaluation under the revised consolidation model. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is allowed. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material effect on Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, “Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (“ASU No. 2015-03”).” The purpose of this update is to simplify presentation of debt issuance costs. The amendments in this update require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this update. The amendments in this update are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the amendments in this update is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material effect on Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-07, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent) (“ASU No. 2015-07”).” The amendments in this Update remove the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy all investments for which fair value is measured using the net asset value per share practical expedient. The amendments also remove the requirement to make certain disclosures for all investments that are eligible to be measured at fair value using the net asset value per share practical expedient. Rather, those disclosures are limited to investments for which the entity has elected to measure the fair value using that practical expedient. The amendments in this update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-08, “Business Combinations (Topic 805) (“ASU No. 2015-08”).” This update amends various SEC paragraphs pursuant to the issuance of Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 115. The adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In June 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-10, “Technical Corrections and Improvements (“ASU No. 2015-10”).” The amendments in this update cover a wide range of Topics in the Codification. The amendments in this update represent changes to make minor corrections or minor improvements to the Codification that are not expected to have a significant effect on current accounting practice or create a significant administrative cost to most entities. This update is the final version of Proposed Accounting Standards Update 2014-240—Technical Corrections and Improvements, which has been deleted. The adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-12, “Plan Accounting: Defined Benefit Pension Plans (Topic 960), Defined Contribution Pension Plans (Topic 962), Health and Welfare Benefit Plans (Topic 965) (“ASU 2015-12”)”: (Part I) Fully Benefit-Responsive Investment Contracts, (Part II) Plan Investment Disclosures, (Part III) Measurement Date Practical Expedient. This update reduces complexity in employee benefit plan accounting, which is consistent with the FASB's Simplification initiative. Part I: Fully Benefit-Responsive Investment Contracts. Topics 962 and 965 on employee benefit plan accounting require fully benefit-responsive investment contracts to be measured at contract value. Those Topics also require an adjustment to reconcile contract value to fair value, when these measures differ, on the face of the plan financial statements. The amendments in Part I of this update designate contract value as the only required measure for fully benefit-responsive investment contracts, which maintains the relevant information while reducing the cost and complexity of reporting for fully benefit-responsive investment contracts. Part II: Plan Investment Disclosures. As new disclosure requirements have been issued or amended, employee benefit plan financial statements have been affected. Specifically, the interaction between Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, and Topics 960, 962, and 965 on employee benefit plan accounting sometimes requires aggregation, or organization of similar investment information, in multiple ways. The objective of Part II of this update is to simplify and make more effective the investment disclosure requirements under Topic 820 and under Topics 960, 962, and 965 for employee benefit plans. Part III: Measurement Date Practical Expedient. The objective of Part III of this update is to reduce complexity in employee benefit plan accounting by providing a practical expedient that permits plans to measure investments and investment-related accounts as of a month-end date that is closest to the plan's fiscal year-end, when the fiscal period does not coincide with month-end. This Accounting Standards Update is the final version of Proposed Accounting Standards Update EITF–15C—Plan Accounting: Defined Benefit Pension Plans (Topic 960), Defined Contribution Pension Plans (Topic 962), Health and Welfare Benefit Plans (Topic 965), which has been deleted. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. Earlier application is permitted. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

18. Fair Value of Financial Instruments:

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair-Value – The Company follows authoritative guidance on fair value measurements, which defines fair-value, establishes a framework for measuring fair-value, and expands disclosures about fair-value measurements. The guidance applies to reported balances that are required or permitted to be measured at fair-value under existing accounting pronouncements.

The Company follows authoritative guidance on the fair value option for financial assets, which permits companies to choose to measure certain financial instruments and other items at fair-value in order to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently. However, we have not elected to measure any additional financial instruments and other items at fair-value (other than those previously required under other GAAP rules or standards) under the provisions of this standard.

The guidance emphasizes that fair-value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. Therefore, a fair-value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair-value measurements, the guidance establishes a fair-value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy). In instances where the determination of the fair-value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair-value hierarchy, the level in the fair-value hierarchy within which the entire fair-value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair-value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair-value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

*The Company received $~~212~~452,~~515~~813 in principal repayments during the first ~~three~~six-months of 2015.

The Company has investments in mortgage backed securities with either AA or AAA ratings fully guaranteed by US government agencies (the Federal National Mortgage Association and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation). The fair values of mortgage backed securities originated by US government agencies are based on a pricing model that incorporates coupon type, prepayment speeds and the type of collateral backing the securities. A discount rate is applied to the cash flows in the model to arrive at the fair value. Market quotes, current yields, and their spreads to benchmark indices are obtained for each type of security. With this data, a yield curve is derived for each category of mortgage backed securities. Each security is priced by discounting the cash flow stream by the appropriate yield found on the yield curve. As the significant inputs used to derive the value of the mortgage-backed securities are observable market inputs, the fair value of these securities are included in the Level 2 fair value hierarchy.

The Company estimates that fair value approximates carrying value for cash equivalents, rents receivable, prepaid and other assets, and accounts payable due to the relatively short maturity of the instruments.

Fair Value Measurements:

The following tables present the Company's assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring and non-recurring basis as of ~~March~~June 3130, 2015 and December 31, 2014, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fall:

	~~Balance~~	Balance	Fair Value Measurements Using		~~Fair Value Measurements Using~~

Impaired real estate assets	$	6,146,952		$	—	$	—	$	6,146,952

The Company estimates the fair value of its real estate assets by using income and market valuation techniques. The Company may estimate fair values using market information such as broker opinions of value, appraisals, and recent sales data for similar assets or discounted cash flow models, which primarily rely on Level 3 inputs. The cash flow models include estimated cash inflows and outflows over a specified holding period. These cash flows may include contractual rental revenues, projected future rental revenues and expenses and forecasted tenant improvements and lease commissions based upon market conditions determined through discussion with local real estate professionals, experience the Company has with its other owned properties in such markets and expectations for growth. Capitalization rates and discount rates utilized in these models are estimated by management based upon rates that management believes to be within a reasonable range of current market rates for the respective properties based upon an analysis of factors such as property and tenant quality, geographical location and local supply and demand observations. To the extent the Company under estimates forecasted cash outflows (tenant improvements, lease commissions and operating costs) or over estimates forecasted cash inflows (rental revenue rates), the estimated fair value of its real estate assets could be overstated.

22The Company incurred a $200,000 impairment charge during the year ended December 31, 2014. During the six-months ended June 30, 2015 the Company did not incur an impairment charge.

~~The Company incurred a $200,000 impairment charge during the year ended December 31, 2014. During the three months ended March 31, 2015 the Company did not incur an impairment charge.~~26

On March 18, 2011, the Grove’s lender, Prudential Industrial Properties, LLC ("Prudential"), commenced a foreclosure action against the Grove by filing a complaint in the Circuit Court of Palm Beach County to foreclose upon the Grove property, alleging that the Grove ~~has~~had defaulted on its loan from Prudential and that the Grove iswas indebted to Prudential in the amount of over $37 million in principal and over $8 million in interest and fees. On September 19, 2013, the Grove was sold, the foreclosure lawsuit was dismissed and Grove’s debt to Prudential was repaid. At ~~March~~June 3130, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the investment is held in a taxable REIT subsidiary of the Company with $0 value. Furthermore, the Company had a $1,315,000 deferred tax liability related to the Grove, which represented taxable losses not yet recorded pursuant to the equity method of accounting. Following certain taxable gains received in 2014 but not yet recorded, the Company reversed the deferred tax liability in total in 2014 and recorded a current tax liability of approximately $618,000 and a tax benefit of $697,000, accordingly. The Company did not receive any distribution in connection with the sale. Under the agreement with the purchaser, the Grove may receive ~~certain~~ additional payments if certain development benchmarks are achieved by the purchaser. The Company cannot predict whether these benchmarks will be achieved or as to the timing or amount of any further distributions by the Grove.

The Company is a limited partner in the Grove. The Grove does not have an audit, review or compilation of its financial statements, therefore, the Company is challenged to determine the collectability of any income generated by the Grove. As a result, the company will not recognize income from the Grove until the earlier of when cash distributions are received or upon receiving financial data that substantiates its results of operations.

The Grove investment is a distressed asset operating in a distressed environment where an orderly transaction is not available. The facts and circumstances of the Grove make it unreasonable to present a fair value utilizing a Level 3 methodology, the lowest methodology which allows for broad assumptions, therefore, in accordance with the exception rules for thinly traded/lack of marketability of distressed assets, the Company is not presenting a fair value or assuming the fair value is zero. The Company is accounting for the investment under the equity method. As of ~~March~~June 3130, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the carrying value of the Company’s investment was $0.

19. Impairment of Real Estate Investments:

The Company assesses on a regular basis whether there are any indicators that the carrying value of real estate assets may be impaired. Potential indicators may include an increase in vacancy at a property, tenant reduction in utilization of a property, tenant financial instability and the potential sale of the property in the near future. An asset is determined to be impaired if the asset's carrying value is in excess of its estimated fair value.

There were no impairment charges during the ~~three~~ six-months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2015. ~~and~~There was a $200,000 impairment charge during the six-months ended June 30, 2014.

20. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss:

Accumulated other comprehensive loss as of ~~March~~June 3130, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was $(~~592~~2,~~579~~199,424) and $(633,682), respectively. The balances were comprised of the following:

	March 31, 2015			December 31, 2014
	June 30, 2015			December 31, 2014
Unrecorded gain on investments	$	59,814		$	18,711
Unrecorded (loss) gain on investments	$	(29,786	)	$	18,711
Unrecorded loss on pension		(~~652~~2,~~393~~169,638	)		(652,393	)
Accumulated other comprehensive loss	$	(~~592~~2,~~579~~199,424	)	$	(633,682	)

23The change in other comprehensive loss was comprised of the unrealized loss in marketable securities, and the unrecognized pension expense associated with the outstanding pension obligations to its beneficiaries, both are balance sheet items, and have no impact to net loss in either period. Therefore, there are no reclassifications from other comprehensive loss to net loss for the period ended June 30, 2015 or December 31, 2014.

The change in other comprehensive loss was restricted to unrealized gain in marketable securities, a balance sheet item, and had no impact on net loss. Therefore, there were no reclassifications from other comprehensive loss to net loss for the periods presented.27

21. Reclassifications:

Certain amounts in the prior period have been reclassified to conform to the classification used in the current period. Such items include a reclassification from continuing operations to discontinued operations as well as a reclassification to assets held for sale and liabilities related to assets held for sale.

Overview

Gyrodyne Company of America, Inc. (“Gyrodyne” or the “Company”) is a self-managed and self-administered real estate investment trust (“REIT”) formed under the laws of the State of New York. The Company manages its business as one operating segment. Prior to December 30, 2013, the Company’s primary business was the investment in and the acquisition, ownership and management of a geographically diverse portfolio of medical office, industrial and development of industrial and residential properties located in the Northeast region of the United States. On December 30, 2013, the Company distributed to its shareholders, as the non-cash portion of the special dividend announced on September 12, 2013 (the “Special Dividend”), all of the equity interests of its subsidiary Gyrodyne Special Distribution LLC (“GSD”), which owns 100% of the interests (through GSD’s subsidiaries) in the Company’s four real estate properties, subject to related mortgage debt in favor of Flowerfield Mortgage Inc., also a subsidiary of the Company, with the Company having the contractual right to manage the business and properties of GSD. Based on management provisions set forth in GSD’s limited liability company agreement which designates sole management authority in the Company, the Company concluded that GSD is a variable interest entity and that GSD’s financial statements should be consolidated with the Company’s. The Company manages GSD through its taxable REIT subsidiary, Flowerfield Properties Inc. (“FPI). Accordingly, we may use references to "we" or "our" to refer to the Company and GSD and "the Company's properties" or "GSD's properties", FPI and or FPI’s properties (or derivations thereof) interchangeably in this report. In that connection, however, it should be noted that GSD has legal title to the properties and will incur any operating or capital losses resulting from the properties, due to risks as outlined below or otherwise. However, such losses may adversely impact GSD's ability to meet debt service obligations and or repayments of mortgages to Flowerfield Mortgage, Inc. or payment of management fees to FPI or result in capital needs at GSD that might require additional capital from Gyrodyne, or external sources.

2428

As of ~~March~~June 3130, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company has an investment in three separate mortgages aggregating $12,~~645~~399,~~754~~645 and $12,889,463, respectively, which isare eliminated in consolidation. The mortgages contain a first lien on the medical parks related real estate it previously owned. The previously owned real estate was included in a distribution to shareholders of ownership interests in Gyrodyne Special Distribution LLC (“GSD LLC”) on December 30, 2013 subject to the mortgages owned by the Company along with the Company retaining managing member control in GSD LLC. Additionally, the Company provides a revolving line of credit facility to GSD which is currently capped at $57.50 million and has an outstanding balance of $46,~~952~~240,~~914~~397.

Following the December 30, 2013 distribution of all of the common membership interests of GSD to the Company’s shareholders in the Special Dividend, the Company has been managing GSD pursuant to the terms of GSD’s limited liability company agreement which provides that the Company has sole and absolute discretion regarding the management and affairs of GSD. In its capacity as GSD’s managing member, the Company has unilateral authority, without seeking GSD shareholder approval, over the management of the real estate assets, including leasing and sale of its real estate holdings and the execution of any agency and brokerage agreements to facilitate such leases and sales, investing in its real estate holdings through capital improvements and proceeding strategically with seeking to maximize the value of the undeveloped Flowerfield property. Under GSD’s limited liability company agreement, the Company is entitled to market-rate compensation for its services as well as reimbursement for any costs and expenses incurred by and properly allocable to GSD. In April 2014, the Company’s board of directors approved a full cost mark-up based management fee to be charged to GSD equal to reimbursement of expenses plus a mark-up of 8.5%, which percentage falls in the lower quartile of similar fees charged by comparable companies according to a benchmarking study. In connection with such management services, the Company was obligated to provide an initial liquidity facility to GSD in an amount not to exceed $2.5 million ~~which the Company may determine from time to time~~. The board of directors has since authorized increases in the ~~increase in the~~ revolving line of credit to $57.50 million. The interest income on the debt facilities provided to GSD is REIT qualified income. The foregoing income earned by the Company for managing GSD is not deemed to be REIT qualified income and therefore is appropriately payable to its taxable REIT subsidiary, Flowerfield Properties, Inc.

The Company, through its managing member control in GSD, with no ownership interest, controls two medical office parks and ten of fourteen buildings in a third medical park, together comprising approximately 131,000 rentable square feet and a multitenant industrial park comprising approximately 130,000 rentable square feet. In addition, the Company, through the same managing member control, maintains approximately 68 acres of property in St. James, New York.

The Company believes it has qualified, and expects to continue to qualify as a REIT under Section 856(c) (1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended (the “Code”). Accordingly, the Company generally will not be subject to federal and state income tax, with the exception of the taxable REIT subsidiary, Flowerfield Properties, Inc., provided that distributions to its shareholders equal at least 90% of its REIT taxable income as defined under the Code. The Company is permitted to participate in certain activities from which it was previously precluded in order to maintain its qualifications as a REIT; However these activities must be conducted in an entity which elected to be treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) under the Code. The Company has one taxable REIT subsidiary which is subject to federal and state income tax on the income from these activities.

The Company conducts its operations either directly or indirectly through (1) property owned subsidiaries and lender subsidiaries, or (2) Flowerfield Properties, Inc. a wholly owned TRS. Property owner subsidiaries are landlords leasing properties in which the Company has a managing member control but no ownership interest, and lender subsidiaries are lenders loaning funds where the Company made an investment in a loan asset, but in all cases these subsidiaries are separate and distinct legal entities. GSD is a property owner subsidiary in which the Company is the sole managing member with managerial authority and investment/disposition authority. Flowerfield Mortgage Inc. (“FMI”) is a lender subsidiary wholly owned by the Company with three loan assets secured by property held in the property owner subsidiaries.

In addition, the Company, through its taxable REIT subsidiary, has a 10.12% limited partnership interest in Callery Judge Grove, L.P. (the “Grove”), a limited partnership, which in September 2013 sold its only asset, an undeveloped Florida property, the “Grove Property”. Gyrodyne did not receive any distribution in connection with the sale. Under the agreement with the purchaser, the Grove may receive ~~certain~~ additional payments if certain development benchmarks are achieved by the purchaser, which could enable future distributions to Gyrodyne. Gyrodyne cannot predict whether these benchmarks will be achieved or as to the timing or amount of any further distributions by Grove.

Strategic Process

In July 2012, Gyrodyne received $167,501,657 from the State of New York in payment of the judgments in Gyrodyne’s favor in its condemnation litigation with the State, which consisted of $98,685,000 in additional damages, $1,474,941 in costs, disbursements and expenses and $67,341,716 in interest. In August 2012, Gyrodyne announced that it was undertaking a strategic review to maximize shareholder value through one or more potential cash distributions and/or through a potential sale, merger, reinvestment or other strategic combination, consistent with Gyrodyne’s previously announced goal of providing one or more tax efficient liquidity events to its shareholders.

On September 12, 2013, following Gyrodyne’s receipt of a private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the “2013 PLR”) (as described below), our board of directors concluded that it was in the best interests of Gyrodyne and its shareholders to liquidate Gyrodyne for federal income tax purposes and adopted a Plan of Liquidation and Dissolution (the “Plan of Liquidation”). In adopting the Plan of Liquidation for federal income tax purposes, our board of directors also determined to pursue the actual disposition of our remaining assets in an orderly manner designed to obtain the best value reasonably available for such assets. The completion of the Merger on or before September 12, 2015 would complete the liquidation of Gyrodyne for federal income tax purposes within the two year period from the adoption of the Plan of Liquidation, as provided by Section 562(b)(1)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) even though the actual disposition of the properties within the same period had not necessarily occurred. Our board of directors believed that the prompt completion of the Tax Liquidation by means of the Merger while permitting a longer period to dispose of the remaining assets would help obtain better values by enabling the sales to take place without the potential timing constraints created by completing the Merger as promptly as practicable. In addition, the ability to extend the time of holding the properties would permit Gyrodyne to seek enhancements of the value of Flowerfield including by pursuing various development or zoning opportunities. ~~In this prospectus, we refer to such liquidation as the “Tax Liquidation.”~~

On September 13, 2013, our board of directors declared the First Special Dividend, in the amount of $98,685,000, or $66.56 per Gyrodyne share, of which approximately $68,000,000, or $45.86 per share, was to be paid in cash. In connection with the First Special Dividend, our board of directors requested the opinion of Valuation Research Corporation (“Valuation Research”) as to the solvency of Gyrodyne after giving effect to the First Special Dividend. On September 13, 2013, at a meeting of our board of directors, Valuation Research delivered its opinion that, immediately after the completion of the First Special Dividend, (i) the fair value and the present fair saleable value of our aggregate assets exceeds the sum of our total liabilities, (ii) we will be able to pay our debts as such debts mature or otherwise become absolute or due, and (iii) we do not have unreasonably small capital.

On December 19, 2013, our board of directors determined that the non-cash portion of the First Special Dividend would be paid by a distribution of all of the outstanding shares in GSD, a subsidiary of Gyrodyne into which all of Gyrodyne’s real estate assets were previously contributed as part of an internal restructuring. We refer to such properties as the Contributed Properties. Our board also determined that, after consideration of a management presentation regarding the fair market value of the properties to be transferred to GSD, the aggregate value of the outstanding equity interests of GSD (“GSD Interests”) distributed in the First Special Dividend was $30,685,000 (an amount determined by our board of directors to be equal to the estimated fair market value of the properties, net of all liabilities encumbering such properties, including mortgage loans payable to a subsidiary of Gyrodyne in the aggregate amount of $13,840,889 as of December 31, 2013).

The First Special Dividend was paid on December 30, 2013 to shareholders of record as of November 1, 2013. As required by NASDAQ rules governing special dividends of this magnitude, the ex-dividend date was set one business day following the payment date.

26The transfer of the Contributed Properties by Gyrodyne to GSD resulted in the recognition of approximately $28.4 million of capital gain income by Gyrodyne in 2013. Giving effect to offsetting deductions, Gyrodyne determined that it would have approximately $18 million in REIT income for 2013. In order to satisfy applicable REIT distribution requirements, on December 20, 2013, Gyrodyne declared an additional dividend (the “Second Special Dividend”), payable to Gyrodyne shareholders of record as of December 31, 2013 on January 31, 2014. The Second Special Dividend was paid in the form of uncertificated interests in a subordinated global dividend note due June 30, 2017 (the “Dividend Note”) aggregating $16,150,000 ($10.89 per share) in principal amount. The Dividend Note bears interest at 5.0% per annum, payable semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 of each year, commencing June 15, 2014, and may be payable in cash or in the form of additional notes. On June 16, 2014, the initial semi-annual interest payment on the Dividend Note was paid in kind in the form of uncertificated interests in a global 5% subordinated note due June 30, 2017 in the principal amount of $302,813 that otherwise is identical to the Dividend Note other than as to the initial semi-annual interest payment date thereunder. On December 15, 2014 and June 15, 2015, the second and third semi-annual interest payments on the original Dividend Note were paid in kind in the form of uncertificated interests in subordinated global 5% notes due June 30, 2017 in the principal amounts of $403,750 each, that otherwise are identical to the Dividend Note other than as to the initial semi-annual interest payment date thereunder. The initial interest due of $7,570 on the note issued on June 16, 2014 was paid in cash on December 15, 2014. On June 15, 2015, the second interest payment of $7,570 was made in cash on the interest note issued June 16, 2014. Also on June 15, 2015 the initial interest payments were made in cash in the amounts of $15,630 and $10,094 on the Dividend Note issued December 31, 2014 and the second interest note issued December 15, 2014, respectively.

The initial interest due of $7,570 on the note issued on June 16, 2014 was paid in cash on December 15, 2014.

In addition, on September 15, 2014, our board declared a special supplemental dividend in the amount of $682,033 (approximately $0.46 per share), the remaining undistributed balance of the 2013 taxable income, paid in the form of non-transferrable uncertificated interests in a subordinated global dividend note issued on December 31, 2014 to all shareholders of record as of September 26, 2014 (the “2014 Dividend Note”, and together with the Dividend Note, the “Dividend Notes”). With the exception of the face value of the note and the dates of the initial interest payment, all terms and conditions mirror the terms and conditions of the previous notes issued.

Rights Offering. On March 6, 2015, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-1 with the SEC for a rights offering to Gyrodyne’s existing shareholders. On April 10, 2015 and May 15, 2015, the Company filed amendments to the registration statement to replace the financial statements and related financial information in the original filing of the registration statement with the updated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2014 and as of and for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, respectively and other updated financial information related thereto. Our board of directors believes that the rights offering will facilitate the vote of two-thirds of the outstanding shares needed under New York law to approve the proposed merger. Given the small size of holdings of many Gyrodyne shareholders and the nature of various holders, we believe many holders may not have paid enough attention to the Merger to exercise their right to vote during 2014. The board believes, however, that shareholders who ~~exercise~~exercised their subscription rights in the rights offering are more likely to vote their shares on the Merger proposal.

On April 27, 2015, the Company announced that it ~~has~~had set May 6, 2015 as the record date for its previously announced rights offering, and that the subscription price for the rights offering ~~will~~would be $2.75 per share. ~~Gyrodyne~~In ~~intends~~the torights ~~distribute~~offering, Gyrodyne distributed, at no charge, to shareholders as of the record date non-transferable subscription rights to purchase, on a three-for-two basis, up to an aggregate of 2,224,020 shares of Gyrodyne common stock.

On June 17, 2015, the Company closed the rights offering and on June 22, 2015 the Company announced that it received subscriptions for approximately 7,044,894 shares, greatly exceeding the maximum shares offered of 2,224,020. Shareholders were allocated 100% of their basic subscriptions. Based on the maximum 2,224,020 shares that were issuable in the rights offering, 1,214,644 shares were allocated to shareholders who properly exercised their oversubscription privilege, pro rata in proportion to the aggregate number of shares subscribed for under the over-subscription privilege, or 20.12499% of each oversubscriber’s requested shares. The rights offering resulted in 2,224,020 common shares issued on June 26, 2015 and net proceeds received (after expenses) of $5,624,324 (Gross proceeds of $6,116,055 less direct expenses of the rights offering of $491,731).

Merger Allocations

The Plan of Merger originally provided for an allocation of Gyrodyne LLC Shares to be issued in the Merger of 15.2% to Gyrodyne shareholders, 29.2% to the holders of the Dividend Notes and 55.6% to the holders of common shares of GSD (collectively, the “Initial Allocations”). The Plan of Merger as revised by the December 2013 amendment provides that each of the Initial Allocations set forth therein of Gyrodyne LLC Shares to be issued in the Merger in exchange for Gyrodyne common shares, GSD Interests and interests in the Dividend Note are subject to adjustment in the discretion of the Gyrodyne board of directors. The Plan of Merger provides that any changes made to the Initial Allocations will be announced at least ten days prior to the meeting of shareholders at which shareholders of Gyrodyne will be asked to consider and vote upon the Plan of Merger.

At a board of directors meeting held on April 24, 2015, our board of directors determined to adjust the allocation of common shares of Gyrodyne, LLC to be issued pursuant to the Merger to account for certain developments since such allocations were originally set in December 2013. Assuming the full exercise of the subscription rights in the rights offering, the common shares of Gyrodyne, LLC to be issued in the Merger will be allocated as follows:31

At a board of directors meeting held on April 24, 2015, our board of directors determined to adjust the allocation of common shares of Gyrodyne, LLC to be issued pursuant to the Merger to account for certain developments since such allocations were originally set in December 2013. The common shares of Gyrodyne, LLC to be issued in the Merger will be allocated as follows:

●

Approximately 22.6% in the aggregate to Gyrodyne shareholders;

● Approximately 30.0% in the aggregate to holders of interests in dividend notes issued by Gyrodyne in the aggregate principal amount of $17,~~533~~937,000 (the “Dividend Notes”); and

●

Approximately 47.4% in the aggregate to holders of common shares of GSD.

Gyrodyne’s board of directors determined the foregoing allocation adjustments based on the increase in the adjusted net book value of Gyrodyne shares due to the rights offering and the anticipated net proceeds to Gyrodyne of $5,606,000 from the rights offering, assuming all 2,224,020 shares ~~are~~were sold. In addition, the allocation reflects adjusted net book value, face value and “fair value” (based on appraised values of underlying properties owned by GSD, less liabilities) of Gyrodyne, the Dividend Notes and GSD, respectively, in each case as of December 31, 2014. This methodology is consistent with the valuation metrics used to determine the original allocations in December, 2013. On June 17, 2015, we completed the rights offering wherein we issued 2,224,020 shares at $2.75 per share and received the net proceeds of $5,624,324 (Gross proceeds of $6,116,055 less direct expenses of the rights offering of $491,731).

Economic Conditions

Market Outlook

Real estate pricing is generally influenced by market interest rates. However, the movements are not simultaneous and pricing generally lags behind interest rate adjustments for a period of time.

Today’s economic environment remains characterized by historically low interest rates which continue to compress capitalization rates for commercial properties. Commercial property prices have nearly recovered to 2007 pre-recession values in many sectors. Analysts believe that the economy is slowly moving from recovery status toward an expansionary cycle. Demographic trends are also favorable. In the past few years the population of the United States has grown, but new real estate development during this period has been low relative to population growth.

Regulators and U.S. government bodies can have a major impact on our business. The U.S. Federal Reserve is a major participant in, and its actions significantly impact, the commercial real estate debt markets. For example, quantitative easing, a bond buying program implemented by the U.S. Federal Reserve to keep long-term interest rates low and stimulate the U.S. economy, has had the effect of reducing the difference between short-term and long-term interest rates. On October 29, 2014, however, the Federal Open Market Committee ("FOMC") of the Federal Reserve Board announced an end to quantitative easing signaling that the Federal Reserve believes the U.S. economy is growing at a measured but sustained pace and that the need for continued stimulus has diminished. These actions and comments suggest that the Federal Reserve will eventually return to a normalized monetary policy. ~~However~~On July 29, 2015, The FOMC reaffirmed its view that the ~~Federal~~current ~~Reserve~~0 ~~has~~to ~~provided~~1/4 nopercent ~~clear~~target ~~indication~~range for the federal funds rate remains appropriate. The Committee continues to see the risks to the outlook for economic activity and the labor market as nearly balanced. Inflation is anticipated to ~~when~~remain itnear ~~will~~its ~~raise~~recent ~~interest~~low ~~rates~~level in the near term, but the Committee expects inflation to rise gradually toward 2 percent over the medium term as the labor market improves further and the transitory effects of earlier declines in energy and import prices dissipate. In ~~addition~~determining how long to maintain this target range, inthe asCommittee ~~much~~will asassess ~~commercial~~progress ~~lending~~-- ~~rates~~both ~~could~~realized ~~increase~~and ~~irrespective~~expected -- toward its objectives of ~~whether~~maximum employment and 2 percent inflation.

When the Committee decides to begin to remove policy accommodation, ~~when~~it is expected that they will take a balanced approach consistent with its longer-run goals of maximum employment and atinflation ~~what~~of ~~pace~~2 ~~commercial~~percent. ~~lending~~The ~~rates~~Committee currently anticipates that, even after employment and ~~available~~inflation ~~liquidity~~are ~~will~~near ~~change~~mandate-consistent levels, economic conditions may, for some time, warrant keeping the target federal funds rate below levels the Committee views as normal in the longer run. Any increase in real time rates could cause a disruption in the commercial lending market which could adversely affect the real estate industry, our real estate operations and or the value of any achievable real estate sales proceeds.

The property management industry is directly affected by the economy and the commercial real estate market in particular. Our business may be affected by the market for medical office, residential and industrial properties as well as the general financial and credit markets and other market or economic challenges experienced by the U.S. economy or real estate industry as a whole. As a result, our business could be impacted by general economic, financial and industry conditions, including (1) obtaining financing to renovate our current real estate holdings and or pursue the rezoning efforts on the undeveloped property, (2) difficulty in consummating property transactions, (3) increased challenges in re-leasing space, and (4) potential risks stemming from late rental receipts, tenant defaults, or bankruptcies.

As a result of the economic downturn that began in the second half of 2007, demand for medical office, industrial, retail space and undeveloped property declined nationwide due to bankruptcies, downsizing, layoffs and cost cutting. Real estate transactions and development opportunities remain lessened in many markets compared to the period prior to the current economic downturn and capitalization rates rose. While the economy has improved, particularly the real estate industry, the recovery has been slow and not equally experienced across the United States. As a result, the cost and availability of credit during the downturn was, and if down markets return will again be, adversely affected by illiquid credit markets and wider credit spreads. Economic weakness and uncertainty during the prior downturn led many lenders and institutional investors to reduce and, in some cases, cease to provide funding to borrowers. In light of the slow recovery, the adverse impact on commercial lending may continue which could adversely affect the net proceeds from the sale of any properties we currently manage.

The aforementioned economic and industry trends may adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations because of the adverse impact they may have on the liquidity and financial condition of tenants and on the perception of investment opportunity on the part of potential real estate property purchasers. Our business may also be adversely affected by local economic conditions, as substantially all of our revenues are derived from GSD’s properties located in Westchester and Suffolk Counties in New York and Fairfax County in Virginia. GSD's current portfolio consists primarily of medical office and industrial buildings comprising approximately 260,000 rentable square feet, and lacks the diversity of larger portfolios. If negative economic conditions return or even deteriorate, GSD's results of operations, financial condition and ability to attract or service debt, may be negatively impacted, and result in decreased management fees and mortgage payments to Gyrodyne, which could reduce our ability to repay the Dividend Notes or pay dividends to Gyrodyne’s shareholders.

Health Care Industry

In March 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Healthcare and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (together, the “Healthcare Legislation”) were signed into law. The complexities and ramifications of the Healthcare Legislation are significant, and will be implemented in a phased approach beginning in 2010 and concluding in 2018.

The Health Care Legislation has affected medical office real estate due to the direct impact on the tenant base. At this time, the full effects of the Healthcare Legislation and its impact on our business, our revenues and financial condition and those of our tenants are not yet known. We believe that the Healthcare Legislation is causing medical professionals to review their real estate options which include remaining status quo, increasing tenant space to address a higher volume of patients, combining practices with other professionals as well as becoming hospital employees rather than continuing independent practices of medicine. Our business is being impacted by factors including (1) difficulty transitioning doctors to longer term leases, (2) difficulty maintaining / raising rental rates, (3) increased challenges in re-leasing space and (4) difficulty transitioning tenants into larger spaces.

As of ~~March~~June 3130, 2015, the average effective rental revenue per square foot adjusted for tenant improvements was $19.3558 compared to $19.35 at March 31, 2015 and $19.83 on December 31, 2014. The Company defines the effective revenue per square foot as the annual rate per square foot stated in the lease reduced by the average annual tenant improvement allowance provided for in such leases.

Business Strategy

On December 30, 2013, the Company distributed to its shareholders all of the equity interests of GSD, which owned and continues to own 100% of the interests in the Company’s four real properties, subject to related mortgage debt in favor of Flowerfield Mortgage Inc., a subsidiary of the Company, with the Company having the contractual right to manage the business and properties of GSD. The board of directors has also approved the Plan of Merger, subject to the approval of shareholders of the Company holding at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares, pursuant to which the Company and GSD will be merged with and into Gyrodyne, LLC with the Company’s shareholders, holders of GSD equity interests and holders of interests in the Dividend Note all exchanging their respective interests for equity interests in Gyrodyne, LLC. On September 25, 2014, the Company announced the 2014 Annual meeting and the previously postponed special meeting to vote on the proposed merger would be held coextensively on December 5, 2014 at Flowerfield Celebrations, Mills Pond Road, Saint James, New York 11780, at 11:00 a.m., Eastern Time. The Company was advised by its proxy solicitor, MacKenzie Partners, that with approximately 45% of the outstanding shares voted thus far by delivery of proxy cards, approximately 97% of such shares were voted in favor of the merger. Despite the overwhelming percentage of received votes in favor of the merger not enough shares were voted to reach the two-thirds majority needed under New York law. Accordingly, on November 4, 2014, the Company announced that the Company’s special meeting originally scheduled for August 14, 2014 and previously postponed to August 27, 2014 and then again to December 5, 2014, was further postponed. The ~~Company currently expects the~~ special meeting will be held ~~during~~on ~~the~~August ~~third~~20, ~~quarter of~~ 2015. Given the small size of holdings of many Gyrodyne shareholders and the nature of various holders, we believe many holders may not have paid enough attention to the Merger to exercise their right to vote in 2014. The Company and its advisors ~~will~~ continue to analyze potential options in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders, which may include enhancements designed to facilitate the ability to complete the merger transaction. As further discussed above under the “Strategic Process” heading, on March 6, 2015, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-1 with the SEC, for a rights offering to Gyrodyne’s existing shareholders. On April 10, 2015 and May 15, 2015, the Company filed amendments to the registration statement to replace the financial statements and related financial information in the original filing of the ~~Registration~~registration ~~Statement~~statement with the updated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2014 and as of and for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, respectively and other updated financial information related thereto. Gyrodyne iscommenced ~~planning to commence~~ the rights offering to facilitate the vote of two-thirds of the outstanding shares needed under New York law to approve the previously-announced proposed merger of Gyrodyne and Gyrodyne Special Distribution, LLC with and into Gyrodyne, LLC, as well as raise equity capital in a timely and cost-effective manner while providing all of Gyrodyne’s shareholders the opportunity to participate.

On June 22, 2015, the Company announced the results of the rights offering which expired at 5:00 pm NYC time on June 17, 2015. The Company also announced on June 22, 2015 that its previously postponed special meeting of shareholders at which shareholders will be asked to authorize the previously announced merger of the Company and GSD with and into Gyrodyne LLC will be held on August 20, 2015. The Board of Directors established the close of business on June 29, 2015 as the record date for determining shareholders entitled to receive notice of and vote at the special meeting, which will begin at 11:00 a.m. eastern time and take place at Flowerfield Celebrations, Mills Pond Road, St James, NY 11780. On July 1, 2015 the Company filed a supplement to the proxy statement/prospectus dated July 1, 2014 to provide supplemental information to the proxy statement prospectus and should be read in conjunction with the proxy statement / prospectus.

At the special meeting, the Company will ask the shareholders as of the record date to authorize the plan of merger. The Company and its advisors will continue to analyze potential options in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders, which may include enhancements designed to facilitate the ability to complete the merger transaction.

We focus our business strategy on maximizing the intrinsic value per share through aligning our operating and investment strategy with our goal of executing on a tax efficient liquidity event or series of tax efficient liquidity events. This strategy involves a balance between preserving capital and improving the market value of the real estate portfolio which we currently manage for GSD. Our objectives are as follows:

●

managing the real estate portfolio currently held by GSD to improve operating cash flow while simultaneously increasing the market values of the underlying operating properties;

●

managing the sale of properties;

●

pursuing the re-zoning effort of the Flowerfield property on behalf of GSD to maximize its value;

●

focusing use of capital by the Company or GSD to that which preserves or improves the market value of GSD’s real estate portfolio;

●

balancing maximizing Funds From Operations (“FFO”) and company adjusted FFO (“AFFO”) with the liquidation process;

●

managing the merger and liquidation process.

We believe these objectives will help us achieve our strategic objective in the long term and strengthen our business and enhance the value of our underlying real estate portfolio in the short term.

It is the current intent of the Company’s board of directors to seek shareholder approval for the merger and, if such approval is obtained, to consummate the merger. Although the consummation of the merger will complete the tax liquidation, the board of directors currently intends that, following the merger, Gyrodyne, LLC will operate with a business plan to dispose of its current real property assets in an orderly manner designed to obtain the best value reasonably available for such assets. Proceeds of such dispositions will be used to settle any claims, pending or otherwise, against Gyrodyne, LLC and to make distributions to holders of Gyrodyne, LLC interests. When all properties of Gyrodyne, LLC are disposed of, it is intended that Gyrodyne, LLC will dissolve and a final distribution will be made.

Sales of properties, either by GSD or by Gyrodyne, LLC if the merger is consummated, could take the form of individual sales of assets, sales of groups of assets organized by business, type of asset or otherwise, a single sale of all or substantially all of the assets, or some other form of sale (including the sale of GSD itself prior to the merger). The assets may be sold to one or more purchasers in one or more transactions over a period of time.

It is not required or anticipated that any shareholder votes will be solicited with respect to the approval of the specific terms of any particular sales of assets approved by the Company’s board of directors, or if after the merger by Gyrodyne, LLC’s board of directors. The prices at which the various assets may be sold depends largely on factors beyond our control, including, without limitation, the condition of financial markets, the availability of financing to prospective purchasers of the assets, U.S. and foreign regulatory approvals, public market perceptions, and limitations on transferability of certain assets.

Assuming the merger is effected and completion of the liquidation of Gyrodyne, LLC’s assets ~~took~~takes until December 31, 2016, and giving effect to its estimated cash flow from operation of its existing properties until their sale, the Company expects Gyrodyne, LLC would have a cash balance of approximately $4346.6 million ~~plus~~inclusive of the net proceeds from the rights offering at the end of December 31, 2016. Such cash would equate to future post-merger liquidating distribution of $1331.2641 per share ~~assuming~~based ~~the~~on ~~full exercise of~~ the ~~rights~~post inmerged ~~the~~surviving ~~rights~~company, ~~offering~~Gyrodyne ~~resulting~~LLC, inhaving ~~a total of 3~~1,~~706~~482,~~700~~680 ~~units~~common shares outstanding. For a further discussion see the supplement to the definitive proxy filed on July 1, 2015 and the definitive proxy filed on July 1, 2014 including the section titled The Estimated Distribution to Shareholders (including Estimated Distribution to holders of Gyrodyne, LLC shares), which is located on pages 67 through 69 inclusive.

The continued economic volatility for small businesses and medical practices has impacted property management firms, including the Company’s ability to renew leases at comparable rates if at all, without providing either rent abatements or comparable other lease incentives. Rental revenues were $1,110,481 and $1,100,702 for the three months ended March 31, 2015, and December 31, 2014, respectively, a quarter over quarter increase of $9,779. Although the Company successfully avoided significant portfolio wide rental revenue degradation, the company sees continuing challenges to maintain both rental rates and occupancy during the slow economic recovery. The below table reflects the Company’s rental revenue at its industrial park vs. the combined rental revenue of its medical parks and the related occupancy rate and effective rental rate of each.35

Retention bonus plan

In September 2013, our board of directors determined that it was in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to pursue the actual disposition of the Company’s remaining assets and to complete the Company’s tax liquidation by means of the proposed merger of the Company and GSD with and into Gyrodyne, LLC, if approved and consummated. Following the proposed merger, Gyrodyne, LLC would operate with a business plan to dispose of the properties previously transferred from the Company to GSD (the “Contributed Properties”), and any other assets, in each case in an orderly manner designed to obtain the best value reasonably available for such assets. Accordingly, in May 2014, our board of directors authorized a Retention Bonus Plan designed to recognize the nature and scope of the responsibilities related to such business plan, to reward and incent performance in connection therewith, to align the interests of directors, executives and employees with our shareholders and to retain such persons during the term of such plan. The Retention Bonus Plan provides for bonuses to directors and discretionary bonuses to officers and employees determined by the gross sales proceeds from the sale of each property and the date of sale.

The Retention Bonus Plan consists of a bonus pool that would be funded with an amount equal to 5% of the specified appraised value of each of the Contributed Properties (to be set forth in the plan), so long as the gross selling price of a property is equal to or greater than 100% of its appraised value (based on appraisals utilized to support the value of the real estate included in the non-cash dividend distributed on December 30, 2013). Additional funding of the bonus pool would occur on a property-by-property basis when the gross sales price of a property is in excess of its appraised value as follows: 10% on the first 10% of appreciation, 15% on the next 10% of appreciation and 20% on appreciation greater than 20%. Furthermore, if a specified property is sold on or before a designated date to be specified in the Retention Bonus Plan, an additional amount equal to 2% of the gross selling price of such property also would be funded into the bonus pool.

The bonus pool is distributable in the following proportions to the named participants in the bonus plan for so long as they are directors or employees of the Company, GSD or Gyrodyne, LLC: 15% for the Chairman, 50% for the directors other than the Chairman (10% for each of the other five directors) and 35% (the “Employee Pool”) for the Company’s executives and employees. Such share of the bonus pool is earned only upon the completion of the sale of a property at a gross selling price equal to or greater than its appraised value and is paid to the named beneficiaries of the Retention Bonus Plan or their designees within 60 days of the completion of such sale or, if later, within 60 days of receipt of any subsequent post-completion installment payment related to such sale. All allocations to individual beneficiaries of the Employee Pool shall be determined from time to time by the board of directors of the Company or its successor in consultation with its President.36

Pursuant to the terms of the Management Services Arrangement, the foregoing bonus payments made by the Company will be reimbursed by GSD (See “Management Services Arrangements”). There were no bonus payments made during the three months ended June 30, 2015.

Proxy/Prospectus – Merger with GSD

~~The~~Following filing with the SEC on October 21, 2013, the Company received comments from the SEC on November 18, 2013. Consequently, the Company proceeded with holding its 2013 annual meeting without seeking authorization for the merger transaction at that time because of NASDAQ rules requiring listed companies to hold an annual meeting not later than twelve months following the fiscal year end. On May 8, 2014, the Company responded to such comments and filed a revised preliminary proxy statement (amendment No. 1) with the SEC. The Company received comments from the SEC on May 29, 2014 and responded to such comments and filed a revised proxy statement (Amendment No. 2) with the SEC on June 17, 2014. The Company received comments from the SEC on June 24, 2014 and responded to such comments and filed a revised proxy statement (Amendment No. 3) with the SEC on June 26, 2014. The Company received comments from the SEC on June 26, 2014 and responded to such comments and filed a definitive proxy statement (Amendment No. 4) with the SEC on July 1, 2014. On September 25, 2014, the Company announced the Annual and special meetings will be held coextensively on December 5, 2014 at Flowerfield Celebrations, Mills Pond Road, Saint James, New York 11780, at 11:00 a.m., Eastern Time. The Company ~~has~~was ~~been~~ advised by its proxy solicitor, MacKenzie Partners, that ~~with~~ approximately 45% of the outstanding shares voted ~~thus~~and ~~far by delivery of proxy cards,~~ approximately 97% of such shares ~~have been~~ voted in favor of the merger. Despite the overwhelming percentage of ~~received~~ votes in favor of the merger not enough shares have been voted to reach the two-thirds majority needed under New York law. Accordingly, on November 4, 2014, the Company announced that the Company’s special meeting originally scheduled for August 14, 2014 and previously postponed to August 27, 2014 and then again to December 5, 2014, was ~~has been~~ further postponed. The Company ~~expects~~announced ~~the~~on ~~special~~June ~~shareholder~~22, 2015 that its previously postponed special meeting of shareholders at which shareholders will ~~take~~be ~~place~~asked into authorize the ~~third~~previously ~~quarter~~announced merger of the Company and GSD with and into Gyrodyne LLC will be held on August 20, 2015. At the special meeting, the Company will ask the shareholders of the record date to authorize the plan of merger. As further discussed above under the “Strategic Process” heading, on March 6, 2015, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-1 with the SEC, for a rights offering to Gyrodyne’s existing shareholders. On April 10, 2015 and May 15, 2015, the Company filed amendments to ~~update~~ the registration statement to replace the financial statements and related financial information in the original filing of the ~~Registration~~registration ~~Statement~~statement with the updated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2014 and as of and for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, respectively and other updated financial information related thereto. Gyrodyne iscommenced ~~planning to commence~~ the rights offering to facilitate the vote of two-thirds of the outstanding shares needed under New York law to approve the previously- announced proposed merger of Gyrodyne and Gyrodyne Special Distribution, LLC with and into Gyrodyne, LLC, as well as raise equity capital in a timely and cost-effective manner while providing all of Gyrodyne’s shareholders the opportunity to participate.

32On April 27, 2015, the Company announced that it had set May 6, 2015 as the record date for its previously announced rights offering, and that the subscription price for the rights offering would be $2.75 per share. In the rights offering, Gyrodyne distributed, at no charge, to shareholders as of the record date non-transferable subscription rights to purchase, on a three-for-two basis, up to an aggregate of 2,224,020 shares of Gyrodyne common stock.

On June 22, 2015, the Company announced the results of the rights offering which expired at 5:00 pm NYC time on June 17, 2015. The Company also announced on June 22, 2015 that its previously postponed special meeting of shareholders at which shareholders will be asked to authorize the previously announced merger of the Company and GSD with and into Gyrodyne LLC will be held on August 20, 2015. The Board of Directors established the close of business on June 29, 2015 as the record date for determining shareholders entitled to receive notice of and vote at the special meeting, which will begin at 11:00 a.m. eastern time and take place at Flowerfield Celebrations, Mills Pond Road, St James, NY 11780. On July1, 2015 the Company filed a supplement to the proxy statement/prospectus dated July 1, 2014 to provide supplemental information to the proxy statement prospectus and should be read in conjunction with the proxy statement / prospectus.

Sale of real estate/Discontinued operations

The Company has not sold the Cortlandt Manor and Fairfax properties. In early 2015, the Company became aware that various aspects of the plaintiff’s claims in a putative class action lawsuit against the Company, members of the Company’s board of directors, GSD and Gyrodyne, LLC were interfering with the aforementioned proposed sale of such properties. The defendants believe the lawsuit is without merit. The Company will vigorously defend such action and take steps to seek to eliminate the issues created by the pending action that are impeding the sale. The Company believes that the issues will be resolved in the Company’s favor and that it will be able to liquidate the properties proposed to be sold with no impact to fair value, assuming the market itself does not materially change during the period the Company needs to resolve such issues. As a result of this interference in the sale process, however, the Company believes that as of December 31, 2014, it no longer met the requirements for such assets and liabilities to qualify as assets and liabilities as held for sale and discontinued operations and therefore had reclassified them to operating assets and liabilities and continuing operations and did not report discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2014 or for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

In June 2015, the Company entered into a stipulation with the plaintiff, subsequently approved by the Supreme Court of New York State, County of Suffolk, in July 2015, that removed the factors interfering with the aforementioned proposed sale of such properties. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2015, all of the assets and liabilities that relate to the Cortlandt Manor Medical Center and the Fairfax Medical Center were reported as assets held for sale, and liabilities held for sale, respectively. Additionally, all of the operations related to the Cortlandt Manor Medical Center and the Fairfax Medical Center were again reported as discontinued operations, and were reported as such in the unaudited consolidated financial statements. The prior period assets and liabilities and operations related to these entities were recast as assets and liabilities held for sale, and discontinued operations retroactively for all periods presented on the Company’s quarterly report.

The Company and its advisors continue to analyze potential options in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders, which may include enhancements designed to facilitate the ability to complete the merger transaction.

Subsequent Events

Leasing- Subsequent to ~~March~~June 3130, 2015, the Company signed one new lease and one lease extension encompassing approximately 16,~~000~~800 square feet and approximately $24127,000 in annual revenue. ~~and~~There was one ~~lease~~termination ~~expansion~~of ~~comprising~~ approximately 1,~~200~~000 square feet and approximately $3616,000 in annual revenue. ~~There were no new leases or terminations.~~

Shareholder Rights Plan – On August 4, 2015, the board of directors of the Company authorized amendment No. 2 to its shareholder rights agreement dated as of August 10, 2004 (the “Rights Agreement”) as amended (amendment No. 1) on August 8, 2014 which extended the expiration of the rights pursuant to the Rights Agreement from August 11, 2014 to August 11, 2015. Amendment No. 2 extends the expiration of the rights pursuant to the Rights Agreement from August 11, 2015 to August 11, 2016. The amendment is not in response to any acquisition proposal and no other amendments were authorized to be made to the Rights Agreement.

Critical Accounting Policies

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP. The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include accounts of the Company and all majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions in certain circumstances that affect amounts reported in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes. In preparing these financial statements, management has utilized information available including its past history, industry standards and the current economic environment, among other factors, in forming its estimates and judgments of certain amounts included in the condensed consolidated financial statements, giving due consideration to materiality. On a regular basis, we evaluate our assumptions, judgments and estimates. However, application of the critical accounting policies below involves the exercise of judgment and use of assumptions as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ from these estimates. In addition, other companies may utilize different estimates, which may impact comparability of the Company's results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses. We believe there have been no material changes to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting policies under Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Principles of consolidation - The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Gyrodyne Company of America, Inc. and all majority owned subsidiaries.

The Company consolidates its wholly-owned subsidiaries, partnerships and joint ventures which it controls (i) through voting rights or similar rights or (ii) by means other than voting rights if the Company is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity ("VIE").

If an investment is determined to be a VIE, the Company performs an analysis to determine if the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. GAAP requires a VIE to be consolidated by its primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the party that has a controlling financial interest in an entity. In order for a party to have a controlling financial interest in an entity, it must have (1) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and (2) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of an entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

33The Company's consolidated VIE, GSD, was determined to be a VIE primarily because the Company has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the entity. The VIE owns all of the real estate that was previously owned by the Company prior to the distribution of ownership interests in GSD. The VIE holds mortgage obligations payable to a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company of $12,399,645 and $12,889,463 as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. As previously discussed in the Company’s Annual Report filed on form 10-K, the estimated fair value of the real estate net of its mortgage obligations and other direct liabilities was $30,685,000 on December 30, 2013. At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the net book value of GSD was approximately $14,332,862 and $15,805,548, respectively. The VIE is essentially being managed and operated by the Company where the Company is the primary obligor for liabilities incurred on behalf of the VIE. As a result, the Company could be held liable for current and future obligations of the VIE, and in turn it would be the Company’s obligation to seek reimbursement from the VIE.

Investments in affiliates in which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, are accounted for under the equity method. Investment interests in excess of 5% in limited partnerships are accounted for under the equity method. All consolidated subsidiaries are wholly owned. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated. With the exception of the investment in the Grove, which has a carrying value of $0, there were no investments accounted for under the equity method as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

Revenue Recognition

Rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis, which averages minimum rents over the terms of the leases. The excess of rents recognized over amounts contractually due, if any, is included in deferred rents receivable on the Company's balance sheet. Alternatively, rents received in advance of rents recognized, if any, are included in deferred rent liability on the Company’s balance sheet. Certain leases also provide for tenant reimbursements of common area maintenance and other operating expenses and real estate taxes. Tenant reimbursements to the Company for expenses where the Company negotiates, manages, contracts and pays the expense on behalf of the tenant are recognized as revenue when they become estimable and collectible. Ancillary and other property related income is recognized in the period earned. The only exception to the straight line basis is for tenants at risk of default. Revenue from tenants where collectability is in question is recognized on a cash basis when the rent is received.

Gains on sales of real estate. Gains on sales of real estate are recognized based upon the specific timing of the sale as measured against various criteria related to the terms of the transactions and any continuing involvement associated with the properties. If the sales criteria are not met, the gain is deferred and the finance, installment or cost recovery method, as appropriate, is applied until the sales criteria are met. To the extent the Company sells a property and retains a partial ownership interest in the property, the Company recognizes gain to the extent of the third-party ownership interest.

Assets Held For Sale and Discontinued Operations. Assets and liabilities of properties that meet various held for sale criteria, including whether it is probable that a sale will occur within 12 months, are presented separately in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as “Assets held for Sale”, with assets and liabilities being separately stated in the accompanying footnote. The operating results of these properties are reflected as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Properties classified as held for sale are carried at the lower of net carrying value or estimated fair value less costs to sell and depreciation and amortization are no longer recognized. Properties that do not meet the held for sale criteria are accounted for as operating properties.

During the second quarter of 2014, we engaged real estate brokers to sell the Cortlandt Manor Medical Center and the Fairfax Medical Center. The Cortlandt Manor Medical Center was acquired by Gyrodyne in 2008 and the neighboring lots were acquired by Gyrodyne in 2009 and 2010. The Fairfax Medical Center was acquired by Gyrodyne in 2009. These acquisitions were part of an overall strategy of reinvesting tax free under Section 1033 of the Code the $26,315,000 payment received from New York State in 2006 which the Company elected under New York State’s eminent domain law to treat as an advance payment while it pursued its claim for just compensation. In late 2013, these properties were contributed to a wholly owned subsidiary of Gyrodyne, GSD, subject to mortgage obligations payable to Gyrodyne, and distributed to our shareholders as the non-cash portion of a dividend, with Gyrodyne retaining only a managing member interest (no ownership interest). As of April 1, 2014, all of the assets and liabilities that relate to the Cortlandt Manor Medical Center and the Fairfax Medical Center were reported as assets held for sale, and liabilities held for sale, respectively. Additionally, all of the operations related to the Cortlandt Manor Medical Center and the Fairfax Medical Center were reported as discontinued operations, and were reported as such in the unaudited consolidated financial statements. The prior period assets and liabilities and operations related to these entities were recast as assets and liabilities held for sale, and discontinued operations retroactively for all periods presented on the Company’s quarterly reports for the second and third quarters of 2014.

34The Company has not sold the Cortlandt Manor and Fairfax properties. In addition, in early 2015, the Company became aware that various aspects of the plaintiff’s claims in a putative class action lawsuit against the Company, members of the Company’s board of directors, GSD and Gyrodyne, LLC were interfering with the aforementioned proposed sale of such properties. As stated below under “Item 3. Legal Proceedings--Putative Class Action Lawsuit”, the defendants believe the lawsuit is without merit. The Company will vigorously defend such action and take steps to seek to eliminate the issues created by the pending action that are impeding the sale. The Company believes that the issues will be resolved in the Company’s favor and that it will be able to liquidate the properties proposed to be sold with no impact to fair value, assuming the market itself does not materially change during the period the Company needs to resolve such issues. As a result of this interference in the sale process, however, the Company believed that as of December 31, 2014, it no longer met the requirements for such assets and liabilities to qualify as assets and liabilities as held for sale and discontinued operations and therefore has reclassified them to operating assets and liabilities and continuing operations and is not reporting discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2014 or for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

The Company expects to complete the sale of these properties within one year.

Real Estate

Rental real estate assets, including land, buildings and improvements, furniture, fixtures and equipment are recorded at cost. Tenant improvements, which are included in buildings and improvements, are also stated at cost. Expenditures for ordinary maintenance and repairs are expensed to operations as they are incurred. Renovations and/or replacements, which improve or extend the life of the asset, are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives.

Depreciation is computed utilizing the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of ten to thirty-nine years for buildings and improvements and three to twenty years for machinery and equipment.

The Company is required to make subjective assessments as to the useful life of its properties for purposes of determining the amount of depreciation to reflect on an annual basis with respect to those properties. These assessments have a direct impact on the Company's net income. Should the Company lengthen the expected useful life of a particular asset, it would be depreciated over more years, and result in less depreciation expense and increased annual net income.

Real estate held for development is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. In addition to land, land development and construction costs, real estate held for development includes interest, real estate taxes and related development and construction overhead costs which are capitalized during the development and construction period. Net realizable value represents estimates, based on management’s present plans and intentions, of sale price less development and disposition cost, assuming that disposition occurs in the normal course of business.

The supplement to the definitive proxy filed on July 1, 2015 and the definitive proxy statement/prospectus filed on July 1, 2014 includes a merger and plan of liquidation. If the shareholders approve the merger/plan of liquidation, then the Company will be required to adopt the Liquidation Basis of Accounting. Financial statements prepared using the liquidation basis of accounting are required to present real estate assets at the amount of the expected cash proceeds from liquidation.

Long Lived Assets

On a periodic basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of the real estate properties may be impaired. A property's value is considered to be impaired if management's estimate of the aggregate future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) to be generated by the property is less than the carrying value of the property. Such future cash flow estimates consider factors such as expected future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of demand, competition and other factors. To the extent impairment occurs, the loss will be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the property over the fair value of the property.

The Company is required to make subjective assessments as to whether there are impairments in the value of its real estate properties and other investments. These assessments have a direct impact on the Company's net income, since an impairment charge results in an immediate negative adjustment to net income. In determining impairment, if any, the Company has adopted Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair-Value

On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair-value measurements. The guidance for Fair Value Measurements applies to reported balances that are required or permitted to be measured at fair value under existing accounting pronouncements; accordingly, the standard does not require any new fair value measurements of reported balances.

On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which permits companies to choose to measure certain financial instruments and other items at fair value in order to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently. However, the Company has not elected to measure any additional financial instruments and other items at fair value (other than those previously required under other GAAP rules or standards) under the provisions of this standard.

The guidance for the Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. Therefore, a fair-value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair-value measurements, the guidance establishes a fair-value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy).

Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which are typically based on an entity’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity. In instances where the determination of the fair-value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair-value hierarchy, the level in the fair-value hierarchy within which the entire fair-value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair-value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair-value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

Income taxes

Effective May 1, 2006, the Company has operated as a real estate investment trust (REIT) for federal and state income tax purposes. As a REIT, the Company is generally not subject to income taxes. To maintain its REIT status, the Company is required to distribute at least 90% of its annual REIT taxable income, as defined by the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”), to its shareholders, among other requirements. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will be subject to federal and state income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates. Although the Company qualified for taxation as a REIT, the Company may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property and Federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income.

The Company’s investment in the Grove is held in a taxable REIT subsidiary of the Company and is subject to federal and state income taxes. Taxable REIT subsidiaries perform non-customary services for tenants, hold assets that the Company cannot hold directly and generally may engage in any real estate or non-real estate related business. Accordingly, through the investment in the Grove, the Company is subject to corporate federal and state income taxes on the Company’s share of the Grove’s taxable income.

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.

The Company follows the guidance of FASB Accounting Standards Codification, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. This guidance, among other things, creates a two-step approach for evaluating uncertain tax positions. Recognition (step one) occurs when an enterprise concludes that a tax position, based solely on its technical merits, is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination. Measurement (step two) determines the amount of benefit that more-likely-than-not will be realized upon settlement. Derecognition of a tax position that was previously recognized would occur when a company subsequently determines that a tax position no longer meets the more-likely-than-not threshold of being sustained. This interpretation specifically prohibits the use of a valuation allowance as a substitute for derecognition of tax positions, and it has expanded disclosure requirements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2015 compared with the Three Months Ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2014.

Rental revenues are comprised solely of rental income and amounted to $1565,~~110,481~~505 and $1572,~~120,645~~783 for the three months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2015 and 2014, respectively, a decrease of $107,~~164~~278 or 1%. The ~~Fairfax~~reduction ~~Medical~~in ~~Center,~~revenue ~~Cortlandt~~was ~~Medical~~attributable ~~Center~~to ~~and~~one termination at the Port Jefferson Professional Park ~~each~~resulting ~~experienced an increase~~ in ~~revenue of $12,341, $26,475 and $182, respectively. The aforementioned increases were offset by~~ a ~~reduction~~decrease in revenue ~~at the Flowerfield Industrial Park~~ of approximately $498,162. The revenue at Flowerfield decreased mainly due to the net impact of two tenant terminations comprising four leases mainly occurring at the end of the first and second quarters of 2014 which are as follows; Stony Brook University terminated two of the four leases effective March 31000, ~~2014,~~ comprising approximately 92,~~000~~100 square feet and approximately $~~135~~62,000 in annual revenue. WeThe are continuing to work with the University on solutions to their real estate demands and believe that a portion of our available vacant space may meet some of their future needs. Two other leases were terminated by a technology company that relocated out of state comprising approximately 7,000 square feet and $100,000 in annual revenue. ~~The increase in occupancy rate~~ at the ~~Cortlandt~~Flowerfield ~~Medical~~Industrial ~~Center~~Park was ~~driven~~approximately byflat ~~two~~with ~~new~~the ~~leases~~revenue ~~entered~~reported ~~into during 2014 as follows; a 10 year lease signed in late 2014~~ for ~~approximately 3,900 square feet and total lease commitments over~~ the ~~term~~three ofmonths ~~the~~ended ~~lease~~June ~~of approximately $1~~30,~~116,000,~~ ~~or approximately $8,100 per month plus annual escalations. A 5 year lease effective March 1,~~ 2014 ~~comprising approximately 2,800 square feet and $55,000 in annual rent~~.

Tenant reimbursements represent expenses negotiated, managed and incurred directly by the Company on behalf of or for the benefit of the tenants. Tenant reimbursements were $~~148~~57,~~270~~848 and $~~179~~62,~~390~~216 for the three months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2015 and 2014, respectively, a decrease of $314,~~120~~368 or approximately 177%. The tenant reimbursement decrease was mainly attributable to anthe ~~approximate $27,000~~ decrease in tenant reimbursements at the ~~Flowerfield~~Port ~~Industrial~~Jefferson Professional Park of approximately $3,800, mainly due to the ~~lower~~drop ~~occupancy~~in ~~rates~~occupancy.

Rental expenses for the three months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2015 and 2014 were $~~718~~368,~~548~~825 and $~~711~~345,~~602~~525, respectively, an increase of $623,~~946~~300 or 17%. ~~The~~Approximately ~~increase~~$25,000 isof ~~mainly~~the increase was due to an ~~approximate $9,000~~ increase in grounds maintenance ~~expenses~~at ~~partially~~the Port Jefferson Professional Park which was offset by a ~~lower~~reduction ~~utility~~across various expenses. The increase in such costs was attributable to parking lot paving to address damage following the 2015 snow storms.

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 were $643,509 and $570,750, respectively, an increase of $72,759 or approximately 13%. The major contributing factor to the increase was the increase in insurance of approximately $51,000 mainly driven by an increase in the D&O insurance premiums. The remaining balance was mainly driven by an increase in pension expense of $17,000. We expect the pension expense to continue to increase as we begin recognizing pension expense that was previously in other comprehensive income or loss or additional expenses to meet the lump sum distribution or annuity elections. We may recognize between $1.4 and $2.5 million in pension expense during 2015 to complete the termination of the pension plan and the related liabilities to meet lump sum and or annuity elections of the remaining participants. 42

~~Strategic~~General ~~alternative~~and administrative expenses for the three months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2015 and 2014 were $~~199~~621,~~875~~991 and $~~337~~579,~~742~~616, respectively~~.

This decrease was mainly attributable to the savings in fees related to the preparation of the definitive proxy statement filed on July 1, 2014 with the SEC offset by the current period’s fees to prepare the proxy supplement and other expenses related to the merger. The Company’s transaction fees are mainly comprised of fees for counsel, financial advisors and other professional consultants to pursue the proposed merger /tax plan of liquidation which is further discussed in the amended proxy prospectus filed on July 1, 2014 and the supplement to the proxy filed on July 1, 2015. The merger is being voted on at a special shareholder meeting scheduled for August 20, 2015.

~~Interest~~Depreciation ~~income~~expense ~~was $30,534 and $23,832~~ for the three months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2015 and 2014 was $82,582 and $80,787, respectively, an increase of $61,~~702.~~795 ~~The~~or ~~increase is mainly attributable to additional investments made in June and July of 2014 in hybrid mortgage backed securities which provide annualized returns of approximately~~ 2%.

In addition, the company issued notes in satisfaction of the semi-annual interest payments due during 2014 and issued a dividend note of $682,033 in December 2014 in satisfaction of the dividend announced in September 2014.

37Insurance claim recoveries in excess of cost for the three months ended June 30, 3015 were $7,459. The Company had no insured costs net of recoveries for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The Company incurred weather related damages in early 2015 that was covered under its insurance policy.

The Company is reporting net income from discontinued operations of $142,339 and $135,176, for the three months ended June 30, 2015, and 2014, respectively. The increase in net income from discontinued operations is mainly attributable to an increase in the occupancy rate at the Cortland Manor Medical center to 100% at the end of June 2015 compared to 87% at June 2014.

The Company is reporting a net loss of $846,060 and $1,150,268 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The primary factors driving the decrease in loss were the decrease in the strategic alternative expenses of $228,741 and the $200,000 impairment charge in 2014, offset by the remaining items discussed above.

The net loss from the noncontrolling interest was $771,094 and $1,096,383 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The noncontrolling interest is comprised of Gyrodyne Special Distribution LLC which represents the noncash portion of the first special dividend in 2013.

The net loss attributable to Gyrodyne Company of America for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $74,966 and $53,885, respectively.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 compared with the Six Months Ended June 30, 2014.

Rental revenues are comprised solely of rental income and amounted to $1,128,484 and $1,184,742 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, a decrease of $56,258 or 5%. The Flowerfield Industrial Park and the Port Jefferson Professional Park experienced a reduction in revenue of $48,203 and $8,055, respectively. The reduction in revenue was mainly driven by two tenants at the Flowerfield Industrial Park. The first tenant, Stony Brook University, terminated two of its four leases effective March 31, 2014, comprising approximately 9,000 square feet and approximately $135,000 in annual revenue. The second tenant terminated two leases in 2014 (one effective February 2014 and the second effective September 2014) comprising 7,340 square feet and approximately $100,000 in revenue. In addition, there were two lease defaults at the Flowerfield Industrial Park comprising 7,000 square feet and approximately $87,000. The Flowerfield Industrial Park occupancy rate at June 30, 2015 is 69% compared to approximately 74% at June 30, 2014. Furthermore, we are continuing to work with the University on solutions to their real estate demands and believe that a portion of our available vacant space may meet some of their future needs. The Port Jefferson Professional Park experienced a reduction in revenue of approximately $8,055 from one lease termination in February 2015 comprising 2,100 and approximately $62,000 in annual revenue partially offset by net lease expansions in the second half of 2015. The net impact of the leasing activity was a reduction in occupancy rate to 66% at June 30, 2015 compared to 73% at June 30, 2014.

Tenant reimbursements represent expenses negotiated, managed and incurred directly by the Company on behalf of or for the benefit of the tenants. Tenant reimbursements were $150,239 and $178,862 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, a decrease of $28,623 or approximately 16%. The tenant reimbursement decrease was mainly attributable to the reduction in occupancy rates at both the Flowerfield Industrial Park and the Port Jefferson Professional Park which resulted in a reduction in tenant reimbursements of $28,012 and $611, respectively.

Rental expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were $783,568 and $766,122, respectively, an increase of $17,446 or 2%. Approximately $44,000 of the increase was due to an increase in maintenance expenses mainly due to parking lot repairs from the 2015 snow storms offset by utility savings of approximately $24,000.

General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were $1,265,500 and $1,150,366, respectively, an increase of $115,134 or approximately 10%. The major contributing factor was the increase in insurance costs of $100,216 which was mainly due to an increase in Directors and Officers liability insurance. Following extended discussions with our insurance broker carriers, the renewal effective July 1, 2015 will result in an annual reduction in premiums of approximately $80,000. The remaining difference is mainly the increase in pension expense of approximately $35,000 and an increase in compensation and benefits of approximately $25,000, both of which were offset by a reduction in bad debt expense of $49,000 following changes to our credit and collection process which has resulted in a net reduction in our allowance for bad debt during 2015 of approximately $10,000. This change was supplemented by a 2014 bad debt expense related to two evictions at the Flowerfield Industrial Park totaling $27,000.

Strategic alternative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were $505,933 and $872,541, respectively, a decrease of $366,608 or approximately 42%. This decrease is mainly attributable to the fees related to the preparation of the definitive proxy statement filed on July 1, 2014 with the SEC offset by ongoing strategic costs, inclusive of litigation related costs, including the preparation and filing of a supplement to the definitive proxy statement in 2015. The Company’s transaction fees are mainly comprised of fees for counsel, financial advisors and other professional consultants to pursue the proposed merger /tax plan of liquidation which is further discussed in the definitive proxy prospectus filed on July 1, 2014 and the supplement to the definitive proxy prospectus filed on July 1, 2015.

Depreciation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $162,523 and $161,999, an increase of $524.

Impairment charges for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $200,000. There was no impairment charge during the same period of 2015.

Insurance claim recoveries in excess of cost for the six months ended June 30, 3015 were $7,459. The Company had no insured costs net of recoveries for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The Company incurred weather related damages in early 2015 that were covered under its insurance policy.

Interest income was $59,185 and $45,924 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, an increase of $13,261. The increase is mainly attributable to the additional investments totaling $1,291,900 made during the second quarter of 2014, thereby generating additional interest income at approximately the same yield as its original investments.

Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $439,171 and $336,346, respectively, an increase of $102,825. The increase in interest expense is the result of the Company’s issuance of subordinated global notes (payable in kind) in June 2014, December 2014 and June 2015 to pay the interest expense on the Global Dividend Note, payable in kind in the amount of $16,150,000, which is bearing interest at 5% payable semiannually (“Cash” or “PIK”).

Net loss before income taxes was $1,811,328 and $2,077,846, for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The primary factors driving the decrease in loss was the decrease in impairment charges of $200,000 and the decrease in strategic alternative expenses of $366,608, offset by the by the net remaining items discussed above.

The provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2015 is $70,500, all of which relate to its taxable REIT subsidiary’s taxable income from managing GSD. The Company did not have a benefit or provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

The Company is reporting a net loss from continuing operations of $1,881,828 and $2,077,846 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The primary factors driving the decrease in loss was the decrease in impairment charges of $200,000 and the decrease in strategic alternative expenses of $366,608, offset by the net remaining items discussed above.

The Company is reporting net income from discontinued operations of $271,251 and $255,920, for the six months ended June 30, 2015, and 2014, respectively. The increase in net income from discontinued operations is mainly attributable to an increase in the occupancy rate to at the Cortlandt Manor Medical Center to 100% from 87% at June 30, 2014.

The Company is reporting a net loss of $1,610,577 and $1,821,926 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The primary factors driving the decrease in loss was the decrease in impairment charges of $200,000 and the decrease in strategic alternative expenses of $366,608, offset by the net remaining items discussed above.

The net loss from the noncontrolling interest for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $1,472,686 and $1,780,113, respectively. The noncontrolling interest is comprised of Gyrodyne Special Distribution LLC which represents the noncash portion of the first special dividend in 2013.

The net loss attributable to Gyrodyne Company of America for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $137,891 and $41,813, respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Variable Interest Entities

On December 30, 2013, the Company distributed Gyrodyne Special Distribution LLC (GSD) directly to the Company’s shareholders with the Company retaining a management interest. Pursuant to the limited liability company agreement of GSD, the Company has unilateral control over the management of GSD including the ability to sell GSD or its assets, sign leases, make capital improvements and pursue the rezoning effort on the Flowerfield Industrial Park and its undeveloped land. In addition, the Company is providing GSD with a financing facility of up to $57.50 million. GSD does not have any working capital or management to support its operations, and therefore relies 100% on the services and working capital of the Company to manage and finance the operations of GSD.

In general, a reporting company must include in its consolidated financial statements the financial position and results of any entity in which the reporting company has a controlling financial interest. The Company has no equity ownership in GSD, but through its management interest it has the unilateral authority over GSD’s real estate assets, including negotiating leases, making decisions regarding capital improvements, financing, acquisitions and dispositions, the rezoning strategy on undeveloped property, negotiating management agreements, changing governance documents and timing of dissolution or liquidation. Based on the foregoing, and in accordance with ASC Topic 810-10, paragraph 15-14, the Company believes that it controls GSD. GSD is therefore a variable interest entity.

The Company has consolidated GSD’s financial statements with the Company’s because the Company is considered to be the primary beneficiary of GSD. The Company does not have any other variable interest entities. The consolidated variable interest entity assets and liabilities at March 31, 2015 were $33,629,465 and 18,525,509, respectively, as compared to their respective December 31, 2014 balances of $33,763,279 and 17,957,731, respectively. The Company monitors the credit quality of the mortgage obligations of GSD which are securitized by the underlying related medical properties each of which resides in a single asset LLC. The discussion of the liquidity and capital resources is on a consolidated basis including the variable interest entity, GSD. 45

Cash Flows: As we pursue strategic alternatives, we believe that a main focus of management is to effectively manage our balance sheet through cash flow management of our tenant leases, maintaining or improving occupancy, and pursuing and recycling capital.

We generally finance our operations and acquisitions through cash on hand. On November 3, 2014, the Company announced that the Company’s special meeting originally scheduled for August 14, 2014 and previously postponed to August 27, 2014 and then again to December 5, 2014, has been further postponed until the third quarter of 2015. The Company announced on June 22, 2015 that its previously postponed special meeting of shareholders at which shareholders will be asked to authorize the previously announced merger of the Company and GSD with and into Gyrodyne LLC will be held on August 20, 2015. The Board of Directors established the close of business on June 29, 2015 as the record date for determining shareholders entitled to receive notice of and vote at the special meeting, which will begin at 11:00 a.m. eastern time and take place at Flowerfield Celebrations, Mills Pond Road, St James, NY 11780. On July 1, 2015 the Company filed a supplement to the proxy statement/prospectus dated July 1, 2014 to provide supplemental information to the proxy statement prospectus and should be read in conjunction with the proxy statement / prospectus. At the special meeting, the Company will ask the shareholders of the record date to authorize the plan of merger and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the merger of Gyrodyne and Gyrodyne Special Distribution, LLC with and into a limited liability company, Gyrodyne, LLC.

38The Company filed definitive proxy materials with the SEC on July 1, 2014, which included a plan of liquidation via a downstream merger into Gyrodyne, LLC (a newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary) which will be owned post-merger by the former shareholders of Gyrodyne, shareholders of GSD and interest holders of dividend notes. On July 1, 2015 the Company filed a supplement to the proxy statement/prospectus dated July 1, 2014 to provide supplemental information to the proxy statement prospectus and should be read in conjunction with the proxy statement / prospectus. If the shareholders approve the proposed merger, the Company will be reporting under the Liquidation Basis of Accounting and expects to complete the sale of its assets and related distributions to shareholders by December 31, 2016.

If the shareholders approve the proposed merger, the Company will be reporting under the Liquidation Basis of Accounting and expects to complete the sale of its assets and related distributions to shareholders by December 31, 2016.

On March 6, 2015, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-1 with the SEC for a rights offering to Gyrodyne’s existing shareholders. Our board of directors believes that the rights offering will facilitate the vote of two-thirds of the outstanding shares needed under New York law to approve the proposed merger. Given the small size of holdings of many Gyrodyne shareholders and the nature of various holders, we believe many holders may not have paid enough attention to the Merger to exercise their right to vote. The board of directors believes, however, that shareholders who exercise their subscription rights in the rights offering are more likely to vote their shares on the Merger proposal.

The Company isconducted ~~also conducting~~ the rights offering because it ~~provides~~provided our shareholders the opportunity to participate in an offering of our shares on a pro rata basis and without diluting their ownership interest in our Company. The proceeds of the rights offering ~~will~~provided ~~provide~~ Gyrodyne with additional liquidity as we pursue an orderly liquidation of the properties currently owned by GSD and managed by Gyrodyne.

Gyrodyne ~~plans~~affected ~~to make~~ the rights offering through the distribution of non-transferable subscription rights to purchase shares of Gyrodyne’s common stock at a subscription price of $2.75 per share and subject to certain aggregate ownership limitations. The ~~proposed~~ rights offering ~~will~~ also ~~include~~included an over-subscription privilege, which ~~will~~entitled ~~entitle~~ each rights holder that ~~exercises~~exercised its basic subscription privilege in full, the right to purchase additional shares of common stock that remain unsubscribed at the expiration of the rights offering, subject to the availability and pro rata allocation of shares among persons exercising this over-subscription right. Assuming it is fully subscribed, Gyrodyne currently expects to receive gross proceeds of approximately $6,116,055 from the rights offering. Gyrodyne intends to conduct the special meeting to authorize the Merger as soon as reasonably possible after the consummation of the rights offering.

In addition, this report is not to be considered material to solicit proxies related to the special meeting or deemed an offer to sell the Gyrodyne, LLC equity interests (“Gyrodyne, LLC Shares”), which solicitation and offer will only be made through a definitive proxy statement/prospectus relating to the Merger and the issuance of the Gyrodyne, LLC Shares. Gyrodyne filed definitive proxy materials with the SEC on July 1, 2014 with respect to the Plan of Merger. Following the completion of the rights offering our board of directors anticipates to try again to hold the special meeting to authorize the Plan of Merger, which is our current intention, Gyrodyne will solicit proxies through such definitive proxy statement or, if necessary, a post-effective amendment thereto.46

39As of June 30, 2015, the Company had cash and cash equivalents totaling approximately $8.0 million and investments in U.S. guaranteed hybrid mortgage backed securities of approximately $5.5 million. The Company anticipates that the combination of its current cash balance and cash flow from continuing operations will be adequate to fund business operations and the pursuit of the merger/tax plan of liquidation over the next twelve months. The proposed merger requires the approval by holders of 2/3 of all outstanding shares. The Company believes that the merger will preserve the tax benefits from distributions under a tax plan of liquidation and simultaneously mitigate potential information reporting penalties from any failure to achieve a tax liquidation in the 2 year period ending September 2015. The Company has approximately $13.5 million comprised of cash and investments in mortgage backed securities which will be partially used to fund the strategic alternative expenses in pursuit of the merger/tax plan of liquidation. The Company estimated and reported in the supplement to the definitive proxy statement/prospectus filed on July 1, 2015, under the heading “Estimated Cash Proceeds and Outlays: Indicated Distribution Range” total gross cash proceeds from the sale of its assets of approximately $45.5 million. Based on the Company’s current cash balance and the above forecast, the Company estimates distributable cash stemming from the liquidation of the Company of approximately $46.6 million inclusive of the net proceeds from the rights offering.

As of March 31, 2015, the Company had cash and cash equivalents totaling approximately $3.4 million and investments in U.S. guaranteed hybrid mortgage backed securities of approximately $5.8 million. The Company anticipates that the combination of its current cash balance and cash flow from continuing operations will be adequate to fund business operations and the pursuit of the merger/tax plan of liquidation over the next twelve months. The proposed merger requires the approval by holders of 2/3 of all outstanding shares. The Company has been advised by its proxy solicitor, MacKenzie Partners, that with approximately 45% of the outstanding shares voted thus far by delivery of proxy cards, approximately 97% of such shares have been voted in favor of the merger. Despite the overwhelming percentage of received votes in favor of the merger not enough shares have been voted to reach the two-thirds majority needed under New York law. Accordingly, on November 4, 2014, the Company announced that the Company’s special meeting originally scheduled for August 14, 2014 and previously postponed to August 27, 2014 and then again to December 5, 2014, has been further postponed. The Company currently anticipates that the special shareholder meeting will be scheduled in the third quarter of 2015. The Company and its advisors will continue to analyze potential options in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders, which may include enhancements designed to facilitate the ability to complete the merger transaction. The Company believes that the merger, which Company shareholders have voted overwhelmingly in favor of, will preserve the tax benefits from distributions under a tax plan of liquidation and simultaneously mitigate potential information reporting penalties from any failure to achieve a tax liquidation in the 2 year period ending September 2015. The Company has approximately $9.2 million comprised of cash and investments in mortgage backed securities which will be partially used to fund the strategic alternative expenses in pursuit of the merger/tax plan of liquidation. The Company estimated and reported in the proxy statement/prospectus filed on July1, 2014, under the heading “Estimated Cash Proceeds and Outlays: Indicated Distribution Range” total gross cash proceeds from the sale of its assets of approximately $45.0 million. Based on the Company’s current cash balance and the above forecast, the Company estimates distributable cash stemming from the liquidation of the Company of approximately $43.6 million plus the net proceeds from the Rights Offering.

In addition to these ongoing requirements, the continued economic challenges for small businesses, including the lack of available credit to many of our tenant classes who are small businesses and the uncertainty facing medical tenants brought about by the 2010 Federal health care reform legislation, could adversely affect our operating results and accordingly the estimated cash proceeds from the plan of liquidation.

Net cash used in operating activities were $~~731~~(1,~~383~~775,813) and $(4,~~399~~853,~~391~~421) during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The underlying factors that impact working capital and therefore cash flows from operations are the timing of collections of rents and related tenant reimbursements and the payment of operating, ~~and~~ general and administrative expenses and strategic alternative expenses. The cash used in the current period was primarily attributable to the ~~operating~~payment ~~loss~~of ~~adjusted~~deferred ~~for~~taxes ~~non-cash~~of ~~related~~$692,500, ~~items~~pension contributions $183,500 and ~~the~~strategic costs ~~attributable to the rights offering~~ of $~~317~~505,~~072~~933. We are anticipating funding between approximately $750,000 ~~thousand~~ and $1.9 million to settle the remaining obligations of the pension plan. The funding amounts plus the unrecognized pension expense in Other Comprehensive Loss of $~~652~~1,~~393~~517,245 ~~will~~are expected to be recognized as an expense during 2015. The cash used in the prior period was primarily related to the payment of $2,850,199 incentive compensation payments to the board of directors and a former director that became payable on December 30, 2013, the payment date of the cash portion of the first special dividend of $68 million. In addition, the company paid approximately $970,000 to Rothschild in full satisfaction of its obligations under the contract with the Company.

Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities was $78135,~~708~~636 and $(~~167~~1,~~865~~848,423) during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Cash provided by investing activities in the current period was primarily related to the receipt of principal repayments of $~~212~~452,~~515~~813 on the investment made in 2012 and 2014 partially offset by capital improvements to its real estate portfolio of $~~104~~258,~~057~~942 supplemented by land development costs of $2958,~~750~~235. The cash used in investing activities in the prior period was primarily the additional investments in mortgage backed securities totaling $~~238~~1,~~636~~491,900 inless ~~capital~~principal ~~improvements~~payments toreceived ~~its~~on ~~real~~total ~~estate~~investments ~~portfolio~~of ~~supplemented~~227,612. byAdditional ~~land~~investments ~~development~~were ~~costs~~comprised of $38509,~~201,~~986 ~~partially~~in ~~offset~~capital byimprovements ~~receipt~~to ofits ~~principal~~real ~~repayments~~estate ofportfolio ~~$108,972~~supplemented onby ~~the~~land ~~investment~~development ~~made~~costs inof ~~2012~~$74,149.

The cash provided by financing activities in the current period of $5,624,324 reflects the net proceeds from the rights offering which closed on June 17, 2015. There was no cash provided by or used in financing activities in the ~~current or~~ prior period.

Beginning in the second half of 2007, the residential mortgage and capital markets began showing signs of stress, primarily in the form of escalating default rates on sub-prime mortgages, declining residential home values and increasing inventory nationwide. This “credit crisis” spread to the broader commercial credit markets and has reduced the availability of financing. During 2013 interest rates on residential and commercial mortgages began to show signs of rising; however volatility in the economic recovery has generated mixed signals on when long term rates will settle on an upward trajectory and in recent months have actually reversed direction. The inability for the economy to ~~reach~~rebound ~~escape speed~~ from the prior recession reflecting the fragile underpinnings of the economy, combined with the impact of the Healthcare Legislation has resulted in an extensive reduction in occupancy rates and related rental rates across residential, commercial and medical office properties. In certain cases the Company has addressed these challenges to date through various tenant incentives which resulted in the Company’s current market rents and related occupancy rates.

4047

The Company has invested in medical office buildings, an asset class that has been facing challenges, partially attributable to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Healthcare and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (together, the “Healthcare Legislation”). If the conditions triggered by the healthcare legislation continue, our portfolio may experience lower occupancy and effective rents, which would result in a corresponding decrease in net income, funds from operations and cash flows. The Company experienced a reduction in lease commitments to $15.9 million at ~~March~~June 3130, 2015 compared to $16.6 million at December 31, 2014. The reduction was mainly due to a limited number of new leases during the first ~~quarter~~half of 2015. The Company continues to face a competitive leasing environment which may adversely impact its ability to grow its lease commitments.

LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INVESTMENT

All references to Gyrodyne in the below paragraph refer to Flowerfield Properties, Inc., the taxable REIT subsidiary.

The Company has maintained an interest in the Grove, which originally represented a 20% limited partnership interest in the Grove. The Grove owned a 3,700+ acre citrus grove located in Palm Beach County, Florida (the “Grove Property”), which remains subject of a plan for mixed-use development. Based on four subsequent capital raises through 2009, in which the Company chose not to participate, the Company’s share was diluted to approximately 9.99% as of December 31, 2010, and ~~has~~was ~~since~~subsequently ~~been~~ diluted to 9.32% as of December 31, 2013. During 2014, certain partners voluntarily forfeited their limited partnership interest back to the partnership, ~~directly~~ resulting in an increase in Gyrodyne’s partnership interest to 10.12%. On March 18, 2011, the Grove’s lender, Prudential Industrial Properties, LLC ("Prudential"), commenced a foreclosure action against the Grove by filing a complaint in the Circuit Court of Palm Beach County to foreclose upon the Grove property, alleging that the Grove had defaulted on its loan from Prudential and that the Grove was indebted to Prudential in the amount of over $37 million in principal and over $8 million in interest and fees. On September 19, 2013, the Grove was sold, the foreclosure lawsuit was dismissed and the Grove’s debt to Prudential was repaid. The investment is held in a taxable REIT subsidiary of the Company with $0 value and the Company had a $1,315,000 deferred tax liability as of December 31, 2013, related to the Grove, which represents taxable losses not yet recorded pursuant to the equity method of accounting. Mainly as a result of the sale, Gyrodyne recognized a tax gain that triggered approximately $618,000 of deferred taxes becoming currently due in 2015. The remaining deferred taxes of approximately $697,000 were recognized as a tax benefit in 2014. Gyrodyne did not receive any distribution in connection with the sale. Under the agreement with the purchaser, the Grove may receive ~~certain~~ additional payments if certain development benchmarks are achieved by the purchaser. Gyrodyne cannot predict whether these benchmarks will be achieved or as to the timing or amount of any further distributions by Grove.

Non-GAAP Supplemental Financial Measure: Funds from Operations (“FFO”)

The Company calculates funds from operations (“FFO”) in accordance with the White Paper on FFO approved by the Board of Governors of NAREIT (National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts) excluding the FFO adjustment for impairment charges. NAREIT recently approved the adjustment to FFO for impairment charges. As a result, the Company excludes impairment charges from FFO. The white paper defines FFO as net income or loss calculated in accordance with GAAP, excluding extraordinary items, as defined by GAAP, and gains and losses attributable to the sale of depreciable operating property, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs) and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.

4148

We believe that FFO is a useful supplemental measure of our operating performance. The exclusion of gains and losses on the sale of real estate allows investors and analysts to identify the operating results of the assets that reflect the core of our activity and assists in comparing the results of that activity across reporting periods. Additionally, FFO is the recognized industry standard for reporting the operations of a REIT. As a result, providing FFO data facilitates comparison of operating performance with other REITs.

Historical cost accounting under GAAP measures implies that real estate asset values diminish over time. Since real estate assets have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many investors and analysts consider presentation of operating results utilizing historical cost accounting alone to be insufficient. Because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, we believe reporting FFO along with the required GAAP presentation provides a more complete measurement of our performance relative to our competitors. However, our FFO includes a material cost for condemnation litigation which other REITs may not incur. Condemnation is not an extraordinary item as defined by GAAP; therefore such costs were included in the computation of FFO. We disclose separately our condemnation costs to enable the investors and analysts to compute the impact of condemnation costs on FFO which we reflect in the computation of Company adjusted FFO (“AFFO”). During years where condemnation income was recognized, we exclude condemnation income and the related costs from FFO and AFFO.

FFO and AFFO should not be viewed as alternative measures of our operating performance since they do not reflect either depreciation and amortization costs or the capital expenditures and capitalized leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties. Such capital expenditures are significant economic costs and can materially impact results of operations and net cash flow provided or used between reporting periods.

Noncash adjustments to arrive at FFO included depreciation and amortization, impairment charges and the tax benefit under Section 1033 of the Internal Revenue Code. The tax benefit results from the dividend distribution following receipt of the 2013 PLR. Under the definition of FFO, gain or loss from property transactions and income or loss from partnerships are excluded from FFO. There were no other NAREIT defined FFO adjustments contained in the operating results.

We also present Company adjusted FFO (“AFFO”), which adjusts FFO for certain items which we believe are non-recurring and not indicative of the operating results of our real estate portfolio. We believe this is an appropriate presentation as it is frequently requested by security analysts, investors and other interested parties. Since others do not calculate funds from operations in a similar fashion, AFFO may not be comparable to similarly titled measures as reported by others. FFO and AFFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of our operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. The adjustments to FFO include condemnation costs in years where no income was recognized due to the contingency of the event, early debt prepayment penalties, fees and related costs inclusive of any write-off of loan origination fees, fees / costs related to the pursuit of strategic alternatives, incentive compensation plan costs and excise tax triggered by the dividends, pension termination and related funding costs, costs triggered by the issuance of a dividend and restructuring fees which were not incurred in the comparative periods.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

The Company places its temporary cash investments with high credit quality financial institutions. Certain financial instruments could potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, such as cash equivalents and longer-term investments. The Company maintains bank account balances, which exceed FDIC insurance limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes that it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash. Management does not believe significant credit risk exists at ~~March~~June 3130, 2015. As of ~~March~~June 3130, 2015, the Company’s investment is in conforming agency fixed rate mortgage pass through securities (“mortgage-backed securities”), having either AA or AAA ratings, the principal of which is fully guaranteed by agencies of the U.S. Government.

The Company believes there have been no significant changes in market risk from that disclosed in the Company's Report on Form 10-K for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

The Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of ~~March~~June 3130, 2015. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CFO concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective, in all material respects, to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and that information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. It should be noted that design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions regardless of how remote.

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rule 13a-15 that occurred during the Company’s last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or that is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Putative Class Action Lawsuit

On July 3, 2014, a purported stockholder of the Company filed a putative class action lawsuit against the Company and members of its board of directors (the "Individual Defendants"), and against GSD and Gyrodyne, LLC (collectively, the "Defendants"), in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Suffolk (the "Court"), captioned Cashstream Fund, on Behalf of Itself and All Others Similarly Situated v. Paul L. Lamb, et al., Index No. 065134/2014 (the "Action"). The plaintiff in the Action alleges that (i) the Individual Defendants breached their fiduciary duties or aided and abetted the breach of those duties in connection with the Merger and (ii) the Company and the Individual Defendants breached their fiduciary duties by failing to disclose material information in the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus. The plaintiff in the Action seeks, among other things, injunctive relief enjoining the Merger, requiring corrective disclosures in the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus, compensatory and/or rescissory damages, and interest, attorney’s fees, expert fees and other costs. On July 17, 2014, the Court signed an Order to Show Cause submitted by the plaintiff setting a return date of August 5, 2014 on plaintiff's motion for an order (a) preliminarily enjoining consummation of the Merger and (b) granting expedited discovery. The plaintiff subsequently withdrew its motion without prejudice and the Court scheduled a preliminary conference in the case for October 20, 2014, which has been adjourned until September 14, 2015. The Defendants believe the lawsuit is without merit.

During the first quarter of 2015, the Company became aware that various aspects of the plaintiff’s claims in the Action were interfering with the proposed sale of certain of the Company’s real properties. As stated above, the Defendants believe the lawsuit is without merit. The Company ~~will~~has vigorously ~~defend~~defended such action and ~~take~~taken steps to seek to eliminate the issues created by the pending action that are impeding the sale of such properties. ~~The~~so ~~Company believes~~ that ~~the issues will be resolved in the Company’s favor and that~~ it will be able to liquidate the properties proposed to be sold with no impact to fair value, assuming the market itself does not materially change during the period the Company needs to resolve such issues. As a result of this interference in the sale process, however, the Company ~~believes~~believed during the first quarter of 2015 that it no longer ~~meets~~met the requirements for such assets and liabilities to qualify as assets and liabilities as held for sale and discontinued operations and therefore isdid not ~~reporting~~report discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2014 and the three months ended March 31, 2015. In June 2015, the Company entered into a stipulation with the plaintiff which was filed with the Supreme Court of New York, County of Suffolk on July 8, 2015. The Stipulation allows GSD to consummate arms’ length asset sales, provided the plaintiff is given 30 days’ notice of the price and the name of appraiser, and provides for the plaintiff’s agreement not to seek rescission or interfere with the use of proceeds to pay transaction expenses, repay mortgage loans to the Company, repay credit lines to the Company or repay ordinary course obligations. Because the plaintiff agreed in the Stipulation not to seek rescission with respect to any arms’ length asset sales, the Company concluded that the requirements for such assets and liabilities to qualify as assets and liabilities held for sale and discontinued operations are once again met and therefore is reporting discontinued operations for the three and six-months ended June 30, 2015.

Gyrodyne Company of America, Inc. v. The State of New York

In July 2012, the Company received $167,530,657 from the State of New York (the "State") in payment of the judgments in the Company’s favor in the Company's condemnation litigation with the State, which consisted of $98,685,000 in additional damages (the "2012 proceeds"), $1,474,941 for the Company’s costs, disbursements and expenses, and $67,370,716 in interest. Subsequent to receiving the payment the Company was notified by the State of a $29,000 overpayment, which the Company returned, due to an error in the interest calculation by the State of New York.

The $167,530,657 ~~million~~ payment concluded the Company’s case commenced in 2006 for just compensation for the 245.5 acres of its Flowerfield property in St. James and Stony Brook, New York (the "Property") taken by the State. The State had paid the Company $26,315,000 for the Property in March 2006, which the Company elected, under New York’s eminent domain law, to treat as an advance payment while it pursued its claim for just compensation. The Court of Claims ruled in the Company’s favor in June 2010 when it awarded the Company $125,000,000, thereby requiring the State to pay an additional $98,685,000 plus statutory interest of nine percent from the date of taking on November 2, 2005 to the date of payment. That Judgment, as well as a related Judgment for costs, disbursements and expenses, was affirmed by the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York for the Second Judicial Department and subsequently by the New York State Court of Appeals.

The Company recorded income of $167,425,729 including interest through June 30, 2012 in the quarter then ended and recorded the balance of the interest earned through July 3, 2012 of $104,928 in the financial statements for the third quarter ended September 30, 2012. Following notification from the State, the Company returned $29,000 due to an error in the original interest calculation and remittance which was prepared by New York State.

In addition to the foregoing, in the normal course of business, the Company is a party to various legal proceedings. After reviewing all actions and proceedings pending against or involving the Company, management considers that any loss resulting from such proceedings individually or in the aggregate will not be material to the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

Items 2 through 5 are not applicable to the Company in the three months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2015.
