                 GETTY PETROLEUM MARKETING INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)
1.  General:

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Getty Petroleum Marketing Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the
"Company"). The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and include amounts
that are based on management's best estimates and judgments. While all available
information has been considered, actual amounts could differ from those
estimates. The consolidated financial statements are unaudited but, in the
opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) necessary for a fair presentation. These statements should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes which
appear in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
January 31, 1998.

2. Earnings (loss) per share:

     Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net earnings (loss)
by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the
period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution from the
exercise of stock options in the amount of 264,000 shares for the quarter ended
April 30, 1997. For the quarter ended April 30, 1998, diluted earnings per share
does not reflect the potential dilution from the exercise of stock options since
such inclusion would be antidilutive.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations
- - ---------------------

         Sales and operating revenues for the first fiscal quarter ended April
30, 1998 were $170.7 million as compared with $225.5 million for the same
quarter last year, a decrease of 24.3%. The decrease in sales and operating
revenues was due primarily to a 19.0% decrease in sales prices and a 7.6%
decline in sales volume. Gallonage sold decreased by 19.7 million gallons to
238.5 million gallons primarily because of the previously announced termination
of a wholesale supply contract, partially offset by gasoline volume increases of
2.5% per retail outlet.

         Gross profit before depreciation and amortization was $3.5 million for
the three months ended April 30, 1998 compared to $11.7 million for the three
months ended April 30, 1997. The $8.2 million decrease was principally due to a
decrease in retail and wholesale product margins of approximately 2.9 cents and
1.0 cent per gallon, respectively, which resulted in a reduction of $5.4
million of gross profit. In addition, gross profit was impacted by $1.0 million
of higher maintenance and environmental expenses during the current period and a
LIFO credit of $2.3 million which was recorded during the prior year first
quarter.

         The Company's financial results have depended largely on retail
marketing margins and rental income from its dealers. The petroleum marketing
industry has been and continues to be volatile and highly competitive. The cost
of petroleum products purchased as well as the price of petroleum products sold
have fluctuated widely. As a result of the historic volatility of product
margins and the fact that they are affected by numerous diverse factors, it is
impossible to predict future margin levels.

         Other income was $.2 million for the three months ended April 30, 1998
as compared with $.4 million for the quarter ended April 30, 1997. The decrease
was primarily due to a $.2 million charge related to the Company's Mt. Vernon
terminal (See Item 1. Legal Proceedings in Part II of this Form 10-Q).

         Selling, general and administrative expenses were $5.2 million for the
three months ended April 30, 1998 as compared with $5.3 million for the quarter
ended April 30, 1997. The decrease was primarily due to a $.4 million reduction
in stock option expense, partially offset by a charge for the Company's ESOP
which was created in connection with the spin-off of the Company by Getty Realty
Corp. on March 21, 1997.

         Depreciation and amortization was $3.7 million for the three month
period ended April 30, 1998 as compared with $3.3 million for the three months
ended April 30, 1997. The increase was due to higher depreciation as a result of
capital expenditures.


                                       -6-


<PAGE>


         The Company recorded a charge of $.6 million during the quarter ended
April 30, 1997 related to change of control agreements in connection with the
spin-off of the Company from Getty Realty Corp.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- - -------------------------------

         As of April 30, 1998, the Company's working capital amounted to $3.2
million as compared with $5.8 million as of January 31, 1998. The decrease in
working capital was primarily due to the net loss incurred during the first
quarter.

         The Company's principal source of liquidity is its cash flows from
operations, which amounted to $4.9 million during the three months ended April
30, 1998. Management believes that cash requirements for operations, including
payments required to be made to Getty Realty Corp. under a master lease and
capital expenditures, can be met by cash flows from operations, cash and
equivalents and credit lines. The Company has uncommitted lines of credit with
three banks in the aggregate amount of $60 million, which may be utilized for
working capital borrowings and letters of credit. Borrowings under such lines of
credit are unsecured and principally bear interest at the applicable bank's
prime rate or, at the Company's option, 1.1% above LIBOR. Such lines of credit
are subject to renewal at the discretion of the banks.

         The Company's capital expenditures for the three months ended April 30,
1998 amounted to $4.1 million. The Company's capital expenditures include
expenditures to improve the image of the service stations, to improve the
terminal facilities and for routine replacement of service station equipment.

                           PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.       Legal Proceedings

              On May 22, 1998, the Company discharged two employees based at
              its Mt. Vernon, New York terminal for violating Company policy
              in the performance of their duties. The employees' actions
              resulted in certain irregularities with respect to
              environmental testing and reporting requirements at the
              terminal, which were discovered as a consequence of an
              inspection by the New York Department of Environmental
              Conservation immediately followed by an internal investigation
              conducted by the Company's outside counsel. The matter is
              currently under investigation by the Westchester County, New
              York District Attorney's Office, with which the Company is
              fully cooperating.
