Page 5 FOOTNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. Basis of Quarterly Presentations: The accompanying quarterly financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The financial statements of the Registrant included herein have been prepared by the Registrant pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments which are necessary to present fairly the results for the three and six month periods ended October 31, 2002, and 2001. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations; however, management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. This report should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes therein included in the audited annual report on Form 10-KSB as of April 30, 2002. The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended October 31, 2002, and 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. 2. Principle of Consolidation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Gyrodyne Company of America, Inc. ("GCA") and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. 3. Earnings Per Share: Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing the net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Dilutive earnings per share give effect to stock options and warrants which are considered to be dilutive common stock equivalents. Treasury shares have been excluded from the weighted average number of shares. The following is a reconciliation of the weighted average shares: Six months ended Three Months Ended October 31, October 31, 2002 2001 2002 2001 Basic 1,112,149 1,118,311 1,112,402 1,118,311 Effect of dilutive securities 14,086 12,165 12,840 11,622 --------- --------- --------- --------- Diluted 1,126,235 1,130,476 1,125,242 1,129,933 ========= ========= ========= ========= 4. Income Taxes: Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. 5. Sale of Real Estate On August 8, 2002, the Company sold approximately twelve acres of property and certain buildings to an existing tenant. The contract of sale amounted to approximately $5.4 million under which the Company received a cash payment of approximately $3.6 million and a three year mortgage for $1.8 million with interest at 5%. The profit on the sale of the land and buildings was $4.7 million. Pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 66, approximately $1.6 million of the gain on this sale has been deferred as of October 31, 2002. The deferred gain will be recognized upon collection of the mortgage receivable. 6. Reclassification: The prior year to date results from the Consolidated Statements of Income reflect a reclassification of tenant late charges from rental property expenses to revenue from rental property. Seq. Page 6 Item 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION (a) Not Applicable (b) MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Results for the second quarter ending October 31, 2002 reflect net income of $1,876,008 compared to $48,671 for the same period last year. This significant increase is due to recognition of a $3.1 million gain from the sale of approximately 12 acres of land and buildings to an existing tenant. Net income for the six months ending October 31, 2002 amounted to $1,926,667 compared to $128,406 for the same period last year. Diluted per share earnings amounted to $1.67 and $1.71 for the current three and six month periods compared to $0.04 and $0.11 for the like periods last year. Reversing the established trend of improved earnings from rental property operations, revenues declined to $557,596 for the three month period and $1,222,763 for the six months then ended. This compares to $672,286 and $1,327,578 for the prior year periods, respectively. For the most part, the decrease is directly attributable to the loss of rental income brought about by the above cited sale. Additionally, a major tenant on the Flowerfield property reduced the amount of square footage it required. In combination, these events impacted revenues by $114,690 and $104,815 for the three and six month reporting periods, respectively. Rental property expenses, which continue to reflect reductions, amounted to $219,815 compared to $282,137 for the three month period, a decrease of $62,322. Contributing factors include reduced salaries and benefits of $21,298, building and equipment maintenance totaling $17,096, and a decrease in depreciation expense and real estate taxes , associated with the above referenced sale, totaling $7,818 and $15,759, respectively. Expenses for the six month period amounted to $456,170 and also compare favorably to the $588,569 posting for the prior year. This decrease of $132,399 also reflects reductions in salaries and benefits of $30,023, building and equipment maintenance of $19,761, and a decrease in depreciation and real estate taxes of $7,915 and $7,616, respectively. Additionally, as reported in an earlier filing, the Company negotiated a settlement on utility charges and received a nonrecurring credit of $64,968. As a result, income from rental property declined for the three month period by $52,368 and amounted to $337,381 for the current quarter compared to $390,149 during the prior year. For the six months ending October 31, 2002, income from rental property totaled $766,593, $27,584 above last years result of $739,009. General and administrative expenses amounted to $362,903 for the quarter ending October 31, 2002 compared to $321,782 for the same period last year. This increase of $41,121 included several contributing factors. Salaries and benefits, which included stock option expenses of $54,331, increased by $63,869, corporate governance expenses increased $17,748 and ongoing increases in pension fund expenses impacted the quarterly results by $56,243. Expenses declined for legal, consulting and outside services by $59,661 as did directors fees by $8,896. Additionally, our provision for doubtful accounts decreased by $39,500 for the three month period. A number of other smaller items accounted for the remainder of the variance. For the six month period ending October 31, 2002, general and administrative expenses increased by $151,989 and totaled $709,178 compared to $557,189 for the same period last year. Mirroring the major contributing factors of the quarterly results, salaries and benefits increased $61,390 over the prior year period, corporate governance increased by $43,749 and pension costs increased by $112,486. Expenses attributable to legal, consulting and outside services declined by $63,505 and directors fees were $16,599 below last year. Reflecting the foregoing, the Company experienced a loss from operations for the three month period of $25,122 as compared to income of $68,367 for the same quarter last year. For the six months ending October 31, 2002, income from operations amounts to $57,415 compared to $181,820 the prior year. Including the $3.1 million from the sale of certain properties mentioned earlier, other income for the quarter amounted to $3,151,803 compared to $21,085 last year. Six month comparisons are similar and amount to $3,153,697 and $40,523 as of October 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Seq. Page 7 As of October 31, 2002, the Company had cash and cash equivalents totaling $2,749,773 and anticipates having the capacity to fund normal operating and administrative expenses and its regular debt service requirements. At statement date, working capital amounted to $2,541,716. For the three month period ending October 31, 2002, capitalized expenses related to the development of a golf course community totaled $230,361. In connection with the sale of approximately 12 acres of land and buildings to an existing tenant, the Company holds a mortgage for $1.8 million with an interest rate of 5%. The mortgage interest payments will be received on a quarterly basis over the next three years. The principal balance of $1.8 million will be received at the end of the three years. The results of operations for both the three and six month periods ending October 31,2002, are not necessarily indicative of , nor should they be used to project, full year or future results. With regard to the previously announced plan to develop a world class golf course community on the Flowerfield property, the Company filed initial municipal applications to secure the required entitlements in the latter part of October, 2002.
