                         ANNOUNCES RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
               FOR THE QUARTER AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2005

Great Neck, New York - August 9, 2005 - One Liberty Properties, Inc. (NYSE: OLP)
today announced it had rental income for the three months ended June 30, 2005 of
$7,174,000,  and net  income  of  $13,283,000,  or $1.35  per share on a diluted
basis. Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 includes a gain on sale of
air rights of  $10,248,000,  or $1.04 per  share,  and the  Company's  equity in
earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures of $743,000.  Net income for the three
months ended June 30, 2005 also includes income of $802,000,  or $.08 per share,
of which $212,000 is income from discontinued  operations relating to a property
which has been sold and  $590,000 is the net gain on the sale of such  property.
This  compares  with  rental  income,  net  income and net income per share on a
diluted basis of $5,616,000,  $2,221,000, and $.23 per share, respectively,  for
the three months ended June 30, 2004.  Net income for the quarter ended June 30,
2004 includes the Company's equity in earnings of unconsolidated  joint ventures
of $295,000. Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 also includes income
of $307,000 from discontinued  operations  relating to a property which has been
sold,  or  $.03  per  share.  The  weighted  average  number  of  common  shares
outstanding  on a diluted basis was 9,845,000 and 9,736,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2004, respectively.

The  Company  also  reported  rental  income of  $13,884,000  and net  income of
$16,006,000,  or $1.63 per share on a diluted  basis,  for the six months  ended
June 30, 2005. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2005 includes a gain
on sale of air  rights of  $10,248,000,  or $1.04 per share,  and the  Company's
equity in earnings of  unconsolidated  joint ventures of $1,851,000.  Net income
for the six months ended June 30, 2005 also includes income of $914,000, or $.09
per share,  of which  $324,000  is from  discontinued  operations  relating to a
property  which has been sold and  $590,000  is the net gain on the sale of such
property.  This compares with rental income, net income and net income per share
on a diluted basis of $10,654,000, $4,466,000, and $.46 per share, respectively,
for the six months ended June 30, 2004. Net income for the six months ended June
30, 2004  includes  the  Company's  equity in earnings of  unconsolidated  joint
ventures  of  $970,000.  Net income for the six months  ended June 30, 2004 also
includes income of $685,000 from discontinued  operations relating to a property
which has been sold, or $.07 per share.  The weighted  average  number of common
shares  outstanding  on a diluted  basis was 9,824,000 and 9,712,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2004, respectively.

One Liberty also reported that funds from  operations for the three months ended
June 30, 2005 was $14,489,000, compared to $3,624,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 2004.  Funds from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was
$19,010,000 compared to $7,157,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004. Funds
from operations,  calculated in accordance with the NAREIT definition, adds back
to net income depreciation of properties, One Liberty's share of depreciation in
unconsolidated joint ventures and amortization of capital leasing expenses,  and
deducts from net income the net gain on sale of a property.  In accordance  with
the NAREIT  definition  of funds  from  operations,  the funds  from  operations
reported  by One  Liberty  include in both the June 30, 2005 three and six month
periods,  the $10,248,000  gain recognized by One Liberty on the sale of the air
rights, which One Liberty anticipates will be tax deferred because it expects to
enter into a 1031 tax deferred  exchange and use the sale proceeds to acquire an
additional property or properties.
 
Commenting on the results of operations and the funds from  operations,  Fredric
H. Gould,  President  and Chief  Executive  Officer of One  Liberty,  noted that
rental income increased by $1.6 million,  or 27.7%,  quarter over quarter and by
$3.2  million,  or 30.3%,  six months  over six months due  primarily  to rental
income earned on twelve  properties  acquired by One Liberty  between March 2004
and February 2005.

On the expense side, total operating expenses increased by $1,218,000, or 64.9%,
quarter over  quarter,  and  $1,789,000,  or 47.7%,  six months over six months,
resulting primarily from an increase in depreciation and amortization due to the
ownership of additional  properties,  an increase in general and  administrative
expenses,  an increase  in real estate  expenses  and a $469,000  provision  for
valuation  adjustment  of real  estate.  Mr.  Gould  reported  that  general and
administrative expenses increased by $236,000, or 31.6%, quarter versus quarter,
and $251,000,  or 15.7%,  six months versus six months,  due to several  factors
including  an increase in  professional  fees  resulting  from  compliance  with
Sarbanes-Oxley, increases in executive compensation and support personnel due to
One  Liberty's  increased  level of  business  activities  and  amortization  of
restricted stock awards.

Mr. Gould noted that One Liberty's  equity in earnings of  unconsolidated  joint
ventures increased by $448,000, or 151.9%, quarter over quarter and by $881,000,
or 90.8%,  six months over six months,  primarily  due to income earned from two
joint ventures organized in the second half of 2004 and $296,000 received by One
Liberty  representing  its  portion  of rent  arrears  paid to one of its  movie
theater joint ventures in the first quarter of 2005.

Interest expense increased by $447,000, or 21.6%, quarter over quarter, and $1.1
million,  or 26.5%,  six months  over six months as a result of an  increase  in
interest on mortgages  payable as a result of mortgages placed on ten properties
between  September 2004 and June 2005, the assumption of mortgages in connection
with the purchase of two properties,  penalties  incurred in connection with the
prepayment  of two  mortgages  which  had  above  market  interest  rates and an
increase in interest on the line of credit in connection with borrowings made to
facilitate property acquisitions.

In reviewing the results of  operations,  Mr. Gould  commented  that One Liberty
purchased six properties for a total consideration of approximately  $24,700,000
in two transactions that closed in January and February 2005, respectively.  Mr.
Gould  noted  that in June 2005 it  closed  on the sale of unused  developmental
"air" rights  relating to its Brooklyn,  New York property,  which resulted in a
gain of  $10,248,000,  and in May  2005  it sold a  property  in  Florida  which
resulted in gain of $590,000.

One Liberty  Properties is a real estate  investment trust and invests primarily
in improved commercial real estate under long term net lease.

(a) Includes net gain on sale of air rights of $10,248,  or $1.04,  for the six
    and three months ended June 30, 2005.

(b) We believe that FFO is a useful and a standard  supplemental measure of the
    operating performance for equity REITs and is used frequently by securities
    analysts,  investors  and other  interested  parties in  evaluating  equity
    REIT's,  many of which present FFO when reporting their operating  results.
    FFO  is  intended  to  exclude  GAAP  historical  cost   depreciation   and
    amortization  of real estate  assets,  which assures that the value of real
    estate  assets  diminish  predictability  over time.  In fact,  real estate
    values have  historically  risen and fallen with  market  conditions.  As a
    result,  we believe  that FFO  provides  a  performance  measure  that when
    compared  year over year,  should  reflect  the impact to  operations  from
    trends in occupancy rates,  rental rates,  operating costs,  interest costs
    and other matters without the inclusion of depreciation  and  amortization,
    providing  a  perspective  that may not be  necessarily  apparent  from net
    income.  We also  consider FFO to be useful to us in  evaluating  potential
    property acquisitions.

    FFO does not represent net  income or cash flows from operations as defined
    by GAAP. You should not consider FFO to be an alternative to net income as a
    reliable measure of our operating performance; nor  should you consider FFO
    to be an alternative  to cash flows from  operating, investing or financing
    activities (as defined by GAAP) as measures of liquidity.

    FFO does not measure whether cash flow is sufficient to fund all of our cash
    needs,   including  principal   amortization,   capital   improvements  and
    distributions  to  stockholders.  FFO does not  represent  cash  flows from
    operating, investing or financing activities as defined by GAAP.
