                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)
1.  General:

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Getty Realty Corp. 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 per common share:

     Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net earnings less
preferred dividends by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
during the period. Diluted earnings per common share also gives effect to the
potential dilution from the exercise of stock options in the amount of 3,000
shares for the quarter ended July 31, 1999 and 1,000 shares and 2,000 shares for
the six months ended July 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

     For the quarters and six months ended July 31, 2000 and 1999, conversion of
the Series A Participating Convertible Redeemable Preferred stock into common
stock utilizing the if-converted method would have been antidilutive and
therefore conversion was not assumed for purposes of computing diluted earnings
per common share.

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

General

         The Company is a real estate company specializing in the ownership and
leasing of service stations, convenience stores and petroleum marketing
terminals. The Company leases most of its properties on a long-term net basis to
Getty Petroleum Marketing Inc. ("Marketing"), which was spun-off to the
Company's stockholders on March 21, 1997. Our financial results largely depend
on rental income from Marketing and other lessees and sublessees. Therefore, our
financial results are materially dependent upon the ability of Marketing to meet
its lease obligations; however, we do not anticipate that Marketing will have
difficulty in making rental payments in the foreseeable future.

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

         Revenues from rental properties for the quarter ended July 31, 2000 was
$14.7 million, which was comparable to the quarter ended July 31, 1999.
Approximately $14.0 million and $14.1 million of these rentals for the quarters
ended July 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively, were from properties leased to
Marketing under master lease agreements.

         Other income was $.2 million for the quarter ended July 31, 2000 as
compared with $1.7 million for the quarter ended July 31, 1999. The quarter
ended July 31, 1999 included the settlement of a lawsuit resulting in the
elimination of a $1.2 million reserve and $.4 million of higher gains on real
estate dispositions.

         Rental property expenses, which are principally comprised of rent
expense and real estate taxes, were $3.1 million for the quarter ended July 31,
2000 which was comparable to the $3.0 million for the quarter ended July 31,
1999.

         Environmental expenses for the quarter ended July 31, 2000 were $1.7
million as compared with $2.0 million for the quarter ended July 31, 1999. The
current quarter included a change in estimated remediation costs of $1.5 million
as compared to $1.0 million during the prior year quarter. These charges are the
result of contamination discovered during work performed to meet certain federal
underground storage tank standards and revisions to estimates at other sites
where remediation is ongoing. The prior year quarter also included $.8 million
of higher legal charges related to environmental matters. As of July 31, 2000,
we had accrued $25.2 million as management's best estimate for future
environmental remediation costs and had recorded $10.8 million as management's
best estimate for recoveries from state underground storage tank remediation
funds. Such accruals are reviewed on a regular basis and any revisions thereto
are reflected in our financial statements as they become known.

         General and administrative expenses for the quarter ended July 31, 2000
were $1.1 million, a decrease of $.6 million as compared with the quarter ended
July 31, 1999. The decrease was primarily due to lower legal fees, lower
retrospective insurance charges relating to the spun-off petroleum marketing
business and lower employee related expenses. Included in general and
administrative expenses for the quarters ended July 31, 2000 and 1999 are
$159,000 and $205,000, respectively, of net fees paid to Marketing for certain
administrative and technical services performed under a services agreement.

         Depreciation and amortization was $2.5 million and $2.7 million,
respectively, for the quarters ended July 31, 2000 and 1999. The decrease was
primarily the result of assets becoming fully depreciated and real estate
dispositions.

         Interest expense for the three months ended July 31, 2000 was $1.0
million as compared with $.7 million for the quarter ended July 31, 1999. The
increase was principally due to higher average borrowings and higher interest
rates.

Results of Operations - Six months ended July 31, 2000 compared with six months
ended July 31, 1999

         Revenues from rental properties for each of the six months ended
July 31, 2000 and 1999 were $29.4 million. Approximately $28.1 million and
$28.2 million of these rentals for the six months ended July 31, 2000 and
1999, respectively, were from properties leased to Marketing under master
lease agreements.

         Other income was $.9 million for the six months ended July 31, 2000 as
compared with $2.4 million for the six months ended July 31, 1999. The six month
period ended July 31, 1999 included the settlement of a lawsuit resulting in the
elimination of a $1.2 million reserve, and $.4 million of higher gains on real
estate dispositions.

         Rental property expenses, which are principally comprised of rent
expense and real estate taxes, were $6.1 million for each of the six months
ended July 31, 2000 and 1999.

         Environmental expenses for the six months ended July 31, 2000 were $4.2
million which was comparable to the six months ended July 31, 1999. The current
six month period included a change in estimated remediation costs of $3.8
million as compared to $3.0 million during the prior year six month period. The
higher change in estimate was offset by $.7 million of lower legal charges
related to environmental matters during the current six month period.

         General and administrative expenses were $1.6 million for the six
months ended July 31, 2000 as compared with $2.9 million for the six months
ended July 31, 1999. The decrease of $1.3 million was primarily due to lower
legal fees, lower retrospective insurance charges

relating to the spun-off petroleum marketing business, and lower employee
related expenses. Included in general and administrative expenses for the six
months ended July 31, 2000 and 1999 are $318,000 and $432,000, respectively, of
net fees paid to Marketing for certain administrative and technical services
performed under a services agreement.

         Depreciation and amortization was $5.0 million for the six months ended
July 31, 2000, a decrease of $.2 million as compared with the six months ended
July 31, 1999 due to assets becoming fully depreciated and real estate
dispositions.

         Interest expense for the six months ended July 31, 2000 was $1.8
million as compared with $1.3 million for the six months ended July 31, 1999.
The increase in interest expense was principally due to higher average
borrowings and higher interest rates.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

         Our principal sources of liquidity are cash flows from our business and
short-term uncommitted lines of credit with two banks. Management believes that
cash requirements for our business, including capital expenditures and debt
service can be met by cash flows from operations, available cash and equivalents
and credit lines. As of July 31, 2000, we had lines of credit amounting to $30
million, of which $25.8 million was utilized for short-term borrowings and $2.4
million in connection with outstanding letters of credit. Borrowings under the
lines of credit are unsecured and bear interest at the prime rate or, at our
option, LIBOR plus 1.0% to 1.1%. The lines of credit are subject to renewal at
the discretion of the banks. Although we expect that the existing sources of
liquidity will be sufficient to meet our expected business and debt service
requirements, we may be required to obtain additional sources of capital in the
future, which we believe are available.

         During the six months ended July 31, 2000 and 1999, the Company
declared quarterly preferred stock dividends of $.44375 per share and quarterly
cash common stock dividends of $.15 per share in the year 2000 and $.10 per
share in 1999. These dividends aggregated $6.5 million and $5.3 million for the
six months ended July 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

         Capital expenditures for the six months ended July 31, 2000 were $.5
million, primarily related to the replacement of underground storage tanks and
vapor recovery facilities at gasoline stations. These expenditures and certain
environmental liabilities and obligations continue to be our responsibility
after the spin-off of Marketing in 1997.

         In June 2000, the Board of Directors approved the purchase of up to an
aggregate of 300,000 shares of the Company's common and preferred stock. As of
July 31, 2000, we purchased 73,528 shares of common stock and 7,000 shares of
preferred stock at an aggregate cost of $.9 million. Since the end of the second
quarter, we acquired an additional 30,000 common and preferred shares for $.4
million.
