                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, 2000.

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
periods presented. For the quarter and nine months ended October 31, 2000,
diluted loss per share amounts do not reflect the potential dilution from the
exercise of stock options since such inclusion would be antidilutive. For the
quarter and nine months ended October 31, 1999, diluted earnings per share
reflects the potential dilution from the exercise of stock options in the
amounts of 23,000 shares and 18,000 shares, respectively.

5.  Subsequent event:

     On November 2, 2000, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of
Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with OAO Lukoil, a Russian open joint stock
company ("Lukoil"), Lukoil International GmbH, an Austrian corporation, Lukoil
Americas Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and Mikecon Corp., a Delaware
corporation, which provided for the acquisition of the Company by Mikecon Corp.
at a price of $5.00 per common share in cash. The closing of the tender offer
occurred on December 8, 2000 and approximately 72% of the outstanding shares of
common stock were tendered. As provided in the Merger Agreement, the Company
intends to call a shareholders' meeting to be held in late January 2001, for
the purpose of approving the merger of Mikecon Corp. with and into the Company,
after which the Company will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Lukoil Americas
Corporation. Those persons holding of record shares of common stock on December
27, 2000 will be entitled to vote at the meeting.

     Also on November 2, 2000, the Company entered into a consolidated, amended
and restated master lease and related agreements (collectively, the "restated
master lease") with Getty Realty Corp., which became effective on December 9,
2000.

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


Results of Operations - Quarter ended October 31, 2000 compared
with quarter ended October 31, 1999

         Sales and operating revenues for the third fiscal quarter ended October
31, 2000 were $306.8 million as compared with $227.7 million for the same
quarter last year. The 34.7% increase in sales and operating revenues was
primarily due to a 36.7% increase in average selling prices (net of taxes) to
$1.18 per gallon from $.87 per gallon, partially offset by a .6% decrease in
sales volume to 250.0 million gallons from 251.6 million gallons.

         Gross profit before depreciation and amortization was $9.5 million for
the three months ended October 31, 2000 as compared to $9.8 million for the
three months ended October 31, 1999. The decrease was principally due to higher
operating expenses of $2.3 million (primarily maintenance, credit card, trucking
and rent expenses) and a higher LIFO inventory charge of $.8 million in the
current quarter related to higher product costs, partially offset by an increase
in retail product margins of approximately .9 cents per gallon which resulted in
$2.0 million of higher gross profit, and $.9 million of higher rental income.

         Other income (expense) was $(.2) million for the three months ended
October 31, 2000 as compared with $.1 million for the three months ended October
31, 1999. Included in other income (expense) for each of the three month periods
ended October 31, 2000 and 1999 were $.2 million of net fees received from Getty
Realty Corp. ("Realty") for administrative and technical services the Company
has provided to Realty pursuant to the services agreement since the March 1997
spin-off. The quarter ended October 31, 2000 also included $.4 million of
expenses related to the sale of the Company.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses were $5.7 million for the
three months ended October 31, 2000, an increase of $.3 million or 4.7% as
compared with the three months ended October 31, 1999. The increase was
primarily due to higher salary and benefit costs.

         Depreciation and amortization was $4.2 million for the three month
period ended October 31, 2000 as compared with $4.0 million for the three months
ended October 31, 1999. The increase was due to higher depreciation as a result
of capital expenditures and acquisitions.

         Our financial results are largely dependent on retail marketing margins
and rental income from dealers. The petroleum marketing industry has been and
continues to be volatile and highly competitive. Petroleum products are
commodities whose prices depend on numerous factors beyond our control, and,
accordingly, their prices may vary substantially over time. From time to time,
competitive market conditions may limit our ability to pass on to our customers
changes in the price we pay for products and, accordingly, our operating margins
may vary. Because our operating margins may vary significantly from time to time
while certain of our expenses do not,



                                      -9 -


<PAGE>   12
our earnings may fluctuate substantially. As a result of the historic volatility
of product margins and the fact that they are affected by numerous diverse
factors, we cannot predict with any degree of accuracy future product margin
levels. However, we believe that over time we have only been modestly affected
by inflation since increased costs are passed along to customers to the extent
permitted by competition.

Results of Operations - Nine months ended October 31, 2000 compared with nine
months ended October 31, 1999

         Sales and operating revenues for the nine months ended October 31, 2000
were $902.9 million as compared with $581.7 million for the nine months ended
October 31, 1999. The 55.2% increase in sales and operating revenues was
primarily due to a 54.8% increase in average selling prices (net of taxes) to
$1.14 per gallon from $.74 per gallon and a 1.7% increase in sales volume to
762.4 million gallons from 749.3 million gallons.

         Gross profit before depreciation and amortization was $21.9 million for
the nine months ended October 31, 2000 as compared to $29.9 million for the nine
months ended October 31, 1999. The decrease was principally due to higher
operating expenses of $11.5 million (primarily maintenance, credit card,
trucking, environmental and rent expenses) and a higher LIFO inventory charge of
$6.7 million in the current period related to higher product costs. The decrease
was partially offset by an increase in retail product margins of approximately
 .8 cents per gallon which contributed $5.1 million of additional gross profit,
higher retail volumes which contributed $1.9 million of additional gross profit
and $3.0 million of higher rental income.

         Other income was $.5 million for the nine months ended October 31, 2000
as compared with $.7 million for the nine months ended October 31, 1999.
Included in other income for the nine months ended October 31, 2000 and 1999
were $.5 million and $.6 million, respectively, of net fees received from Realty
for administrative and technical services the Company has provided to Realty
pursuant to the services agreement since the March 1997 spin-off. The nine
months ended October 31, 2000 also included $.4 million of expenses related to
the sale of the Company. The nine months ended October 31, 1999 also included a
charge of $.3 million related to the early termination of eight leases under a
master lease agreement with Realty.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses were $17.7 million for the
nine months ended October 31, 2000 as compared with $16.7 million for the nine
months ended October 31, 1999, an increase of 6.1%. The increase was primarily
due to higher salary and benefit costs, and a stock compensation charge of $.2
million resulting from changes in Getty's stock price during the current nine
month period.

         Depreciation and amortization was $13.1 million for the nine month
period ended October 31, 2000 as compared with $12.3 million for the nine months
ended October 31, 1999. The increase was primarily due to higher depreciation as
a result of capital expenditures and acquisitions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         As of October 31, 2000, we had a working capital deficit of $13.9
million as compared with a deficit of $10.6 million as of January 31, 2000. The
decrease in working capital was primarily due to $11.2 million of capital
expenditures at existing locations and $.8 million of capital expended at newly
leased locations, partially offset by working capital generated during the
period from operations. We are able to operate our business with negative
working capital, principally because most of our product sales are for cash,
payment terms are received from vendors and there is a time interval in the
payment of motor fuel taxes.

         Management believes that cash requirements for operations, including
rental payments required under the master leases with Realty and capital
expenditures, can be met by cash flows from operations, cash and equivalents and
credit lines. We have uncommitted lines of credit with two banks in the
aggregate amount of $35.0 million, which may be utilized for working capital
borrowings and letters of credit. As of October 31, 2000, we utilized $3.1
million of the lines of credit in connection with outstanding letters of credit
to support insurance programs. Borrowings under the lines of credit are
unsecured and principally bear interest at the applicable bank's prime rate or,
at our option, 1.1% above LIBOR. The lines of credit are subject to renewal at
the discretion of the banks.

         As of October 31, 2000, we leased 1,079 retail outlets (1,000 from
Realty) and 9 terminal facilities from Realty. Rent expense aggregated $44.7
million for the nine months ended October 31, 2000, including $42.1 million
under the master leases with Realty.

         Our capital expenditures for the nine months ended October 31, 2000
were $11.2 million. Our capital expenditures include discretionary expenditures
to improve the image of the retail outlets, to replace service station equipment
and to improve the terminal facilities. In addition, during the nine months
ended October 31, 2000, we spent $.8 million for improvements to properties
which we commenced leasing during the past year.
