March 2, 2005 Page 2 EXHIBIT A November 7, 2005 Via Facsimile & U.S. Mail To the Board of Directors Gyrodyne Company of America 102 Flowerfield St. James, NY 11780 Attention: Mr. Paul L. Lamb Mr. Stephen V. Maroney Gentlemen, We write to urge you to postpone the Annual Shareholders Meeting currently scheduled for December 9, 2005. Such an action would provide you the opportunity to communicate to shareholders regarding the Company's many recent developments. Without such disclosure and adequate time to digest it, we believe shareholders may find it difficult to make informed decisions on the important proposals being put forth. Such disclosures include: 1. The contents of the report by Gyrodyne's investment bank, Coady Diemar Partners, on the strategic options available to the Company; 2. The Board's thoughts and conclusions on the Coady Diemar report; 3. Information regarding the multiple offers the Company has received to purchase the Flowerfield Property for over $100 Million ("Gyrodyne said it had received at least two offers from national homebuilders to acquire the land, also known as Flowerfield, for an excess of $100 million" - Newsday - November 1, 2005); 4. The Board's intentions as to the Company's use of the initial SUNY proceeds; and 5. The Board's intentions as to the Company's remaining assets. Thank you for your consideration. Very truly yours, EVEREST SPECIAL SITUATIONS FUND L.P.
