                                   (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 April 30, 1999.

     For the quarters ended April 30, 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 its
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
making rental payments in the foreseeable future.

Results of Operations

     Revenues from rental properties for the quarter ended April 30, 2000 was
$14.7 million, which was comparable to the quarter ended April 30, 1999.
Approximately $14.1 million of these rentals for each of the quarters were from
properties leased to Marketing under master lease agreements.

     Other income was $.7 million for the quarter ended April 30, 2000, which
was comparable to the quarter ended April 30, 1999.

     Rental property expenses, which are principally comprised of rent expense
and real estate taxes, were $3.1 million for each of the quarters ended April
30, 2000 and 1999.

     Environmental expenses for the quarter ended April 30, 2000 were $2.5
million as compared with $2.2 million for the quarter ended April 30, 1999. The
current quarter included a change in estimated remediation costs of $2.3 million
as compared to $2.0 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. As of April 30, 2000, we had accrued $27.7 million
as management's best estimate for future environmental remediation costs and had
recorded $11.8 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 April 30, 2000
were $.5 million, a decrease of $.7 million as compared with the quarter ended
April 30, 1999. The decrease was primarily due to a reduction in employee
related expenses, lower retrospective insurance charges relating to the spun-off
petroleum marketing business and lower legal fees. Included in general and
administrative expenses for the quarters ended April 30, 2000 and 1999 are
$159,000 and $227,000 respectively, of net fees paid to Marketing for certain
administrative and technical services performed under a services agreement.


                                        6

<PAGE>   9
     Depreciation and amortization was $2.5 million for each of the quarters
ended April 30, 2000 and 1999.

     Interest expense for the three months ended April 30, 2000 was $.8 million
as compared with $.6 million for the quarter ended April 30, 1999. The increase
was principally due to higher average borrowings under credit lines 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 April 30, 2000, we had lines of credit amounting to $30
million, of which $23.2 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% or 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 quarters ended April 30, 2000 and 1999, the Board of Directors
declared quarterly preferred stock dividends of $.44375 per share and quarterly
cash common stock dividends of $.15 and $.10 per share, respectively. These
dividends aggregated $3.3 million and $2.6 million for the quarters ended April
30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

     In March 2000, the Board of Directors approved the purchase of up to an
aggregate of 500,000 shares of the Company's common and preferred stock. As of
April 30, 2000, we purchased 459,856 shares of common stock and 330 shares of
preferred stock at an aggregate cost of $5.8 million. In May 2000, we completed
this stock buyback program which resulted in the purchase of an additional
33,814 shares of common stock and 6,000 shares of preferred stock at an
additional cost of $.5 million.

     Capital expenditures for the quarter ended April 30, 2000 were $.3 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.

     During the quarter ended April 30, 2000, the Company acquired one property
located in New York.

Special Factors Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

     Certain statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may constitute
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. When we use the words "believes", "expects",
"plans", "estimates" and similar expressions, we intend to identify
forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve known and
unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual
results, performance and achievements to be materially different from any future
results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these
forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to: risks
associated with owning and leasing real estate generally; dependence on
Marketing as a lessee and on rentals from companies engaged in the petroleum
marketing and convenience store businesses; competition for locations and
tenants; risk of tenant non-renewal; the effects of regulation; and our
expectations as to the cost of completing environmental remediation.

     As a result of these and other factors, we may experience material
fluctuations in future operating results on a quarterly or annual basis, which
could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition,
operating results and stock prices. An investment in our stock involves various
risks, including those mentioned above and elsewhere in this report and those
which are detailed from time to time in filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

     You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which
reflect our view only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to
publicly release revisions to these forward-looking statements that reflect
future events or circumstances or reflect the occurrence of unanticipated
events.
