                       GETTY REALTY CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   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 1,000 and
3,000 shares for the quarters ended October 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively, and
2,000 shares for the nine months ended October 31, 1999.

     For the quarters and nine months ended October 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.

4.  Subsequent events:

     On December 9, 2000, a subsidiary of OAO Lukoil, Russia's largest
vertically integrated oil company, acquired approximately 72% of the outstanding
common stock of Getty Petroleum Marketing Inc. ("Marketing"), the Company's
principal tenant. The subsidiary will acquire the remaining equity of the tenant
during the first calendar quarter of 2001. In connection with that transaction,
we entered into a Consolidated, Amended and Restated Master Lease Agreement (the
"Amended Lease Agreement"), with Marketing, which became effective on December
9, 2000.

     The Amended Lease Agreement provides, among other things, for a new
noncancellable initial term of 15 years plus renewal options extending to 2049,
and an immediate rent increase of 4% with annual 2% escalations thereafter. In
addition, the Amended Lease Agreement contains new provisions providing for the
exercise of lease term renewals on an "all or nothing" basis.

     Certain financial obligations of Marketing under the Amended Lease
Agreement, for at least the initial three years, are guaranteed by OAO Lukoil
(subject to the receipt of necessary regulatory approvals) and an Austrian
subsidiary of OAO Lukoil.

     We have also agreed to provide limited environmental indemnification to
Marketing with respect to terminals and compliance of the properties with local
laws (with our aggregate indemnification liability not to exceed $5.6 million),
as well as certain customary representations about the Amended Lease Agreement
and the properties.

     The provisions of the Amended Lease Agreement, which became effective on
December 9, 2000, may have caused a default under the Amended and Restated Loan
Agreement dated as of October 31, 1995, as amended, between one of our
wholly-owned subsidiaries, Power Test Realty Company Limited Partnership, and
Fleet National Bank (the "Loan Agreement"). In connection therewith, on November
2, 2000, we obtained a waiver of any such default for a period of 90 days. On
December 7, 2000, we were advised by the lenders under the Loan Agreement that
they will not approve the Amended Lease Agreement prior to expiration of such 90
day period on January 31, 2001, and accordingly we would be in default under the
Loan Agreement at that time unless the Lenders agree to an extension of the
waiver. As of December 12, 2000, $21.0 million was outstanding under the Loan
Agreement, which is secured by mortgage liens on up to 265 of our fee owned
properties. We presently intend to refinance the outstanding balance under the
Loan Agreement, although there can be no assurance such refinancing can be
accomplished in a timely manner or on commercially reasonable terms. We have
agreed to indemnify Marketing for any loss with respect to the properties on
which there are mortgage liens as a result of actions taken by the lenders under
the Loan Agreement.

     On December 12, 2000, our Board of Directors approved a change in our
fiscal year end to December 31 from January 31. The change will result in an
eleven month accounting period ending December 31, 2000.

     On December 13, 2000, the Company announced that John J. Fitteron, Senior
Vice President, Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer, has decided to leave the
Company effective January 31, 2001. Mr. Fitteron will receive severance payments
as contemplated by his existing agreements with the Company. Mr. Fitteron has
agreed to provide future consulting services to the Company.

                     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. On December 9, 2000, a subsidiary of
OAO Lukoil, Russia's largest vertically integrated oil company, acquired
approximately 72% of the outstanding common stock of Marketing and will acquire
the remaining equity of Marketing during the first calendar quarter of 2001. The
Company's financial results are materially dependent upon the ability of
Marketing to meet its lease obligations; however, the Company does not
anticipate that Marketing will have difficulty making all required rental
payments in the foreseeable future.

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

         Revenues from rental properties for the quarter ended October 31, 2000
were $14.6 million, which was comparable to the quarter ended October 31, 1999.
Approximately $13.9 million and $14.0 million of these rentals for the quarters
ended October 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively, were from properties leased to
Marketing under master lease agreements.

         Other income was $.3 million for the quarter ended October 31, 2000 as
compared with $2.5 million for the quarter ended October 31, 1999. The decrease
in other income was principally due to lower gains on real estate dispositions.

         Rental property expenses, which are principally comprised of rent
expense and real estate taxes, were $2.9 million for the quarter ended October
31, 2000, which was comparable to the $3.0 million for the quarter ended October
31, 1999.

         Environmental expenses for the quarter ended October 31, 2000 were $2.3
million as compared with $1.7 million for the quarter ended October 31, 1999.
The current quarter included a change in estimated remediation costs of $1.5
million as compared to $1.4 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 current quarter also included a $.7
million charge related to environmental litigation. As of October 31, 2000, we
had accrued $22.7 million as management's best estimate for future environmental
remediation costs and had recorded $10.0 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.

<PAGE>   10



         General and administrative expenses for the quarter ended October 31,
2000 were $.9 million, a decrease of $.6 million as compared with the quarter
ended October 31, 1999. The decrease was primarily due to $.7 million lower
retrospective insurance charges relating to the spun-off petroleum marketing
business. Included in general and administrative expenses for each of the
quarters ended October 31, 2000 and 1999 are $158,000 of net fees paid to
Marketing for certain administrative and technical services performed under a
services agreement.

         Depreciation and amortization was $2.4 million and $2.6 million,
respectively, for the quarters ended October 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 October 31, 2000 was $1.0
million as compared with $.7 million for the quarter ended October 31, 1999. The
increase was principally due to higher average borrowings and higher interest
rates.

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

         Revenues from rental properties for the nine months ended October 31,
2000 and 1999 were $44.0 and $44.1 million, respectively. Approximately $42.1
million and $42.2 million of these rentals for the nine months ended October 31,
2000 and 1999, respectively, were from properties leased to Marketing under
master lease agreements.

         Other income was $1.2 million for the nine months ended October 31,
2000 as compared with $4.9 million for the nine months ended October 31, 1999.
The nine month period ended October 31, 1999 included the settlement of a
lawsuit resulting in the elimination of a $1.2 million reserve, and $2.7 million
of higher gains on real estate dispositions.

         Rental property expenses, which are principally comprised of rent
expense and real estate taxes, were $9.0 million for the nine months ended
October 31, 2000, which was comparable to the $9.1 million for the nine months
ended October 31, 1999.

         Environmental expenses were $6.4 million for the nine months ended
October 31, 2000 as compared with $5.9 million for the nine months ended October
31, 1999. The current nine month period included a change in estimated
remediation costs of $5.3 million as compared to $4.4 million during the prior
year nine month period. The higher change in estimate was offset by lower legal
charges and professional fees related to environmental matters during the
current nine month period.

         General and administrative expenses were $2.5 million for the nine
months ended October 31, 2000 as compared with $4.4 million for the nine months
ended October 31, 1999. The decrease of $1.9 million was primarily due to $1.1
million lower retrospective insurance charges relating to the spun-off petroleum
marketing business, and $.3 million of lower employee related expenses and $.2
million of lower legal fees. Included in general and administrative expenses for
the nine months ended October 31, 2000 and 1999 are $476,000 and $590,000,
respectively, of net fees paid to Marketing for certain administrative and
technical services performed under a services agreement.

         Depreciation and amortization was $7.4 million for the nine months
ended October 31, 2000, a decrease of $.4 million as compared with the nine
months ended October 31, 1999 due to assets becoming fully depreciated and real
estate dispositions.

         Interest expense for the nine months ended October 31, 2000 was $2.8
million as compared with $2.0 million for the nine months ended October 31,
1999. The increase in interest expense was principally due to higher average
borrowings and higher interest rates.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         On December 9, 2000, our Amended Lease Agreement with Marketing, our
largest tenant, became effective. The provisions of the Amended Lease Agreement
may have caused a default under the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement dated as
of October 31, 1995, as amended, between one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries,
Power Test Realty Company Limited Partnership, and Fleet National Bank (the
"Loan Agreement"). In connection therewith, on November 2, 2000, we obtained a
waiver of any such default for a period of 90 days. On December 7, 2000, we were
advised by the lenders under the Loan Agreement that they will not approve the
Amended Lease Agreement prior to the expiration of such 90 day period on January
31, 2001, and accordingly we would be in default under the Loan Agreement at
such time unless the Lenders agree to an extension of the waiver. As of December
12, 2000, $21.0 million was outstanding under the Loan Agreement, which is
secured by mortgage liens on up to 265 of our fee owned properties. We presently
intend to refinance the outstanding balance under the Loan Agreement, although
there can be no assurance such refinancing can be accomplished in a timely
manner or on commercially reasonable terms. We have agreed to indemnify
Marketing for any loss with respect to the properties on which there are
mortgage liens as a result of actions taken by the lenders under the Loan
Agreement.

         On December 12, 2000, our Board of Directors approved a change in
our fiscal year end to December 31 from January 31. The change will result in an
eleven month accounting period ending December 31, 2000. The Board of Directors
also indicated that the Company will continue to evaluate the merits of
converting to a Real Estate Investment Trust ("REIT") in 2001.

         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, can be met
by cash flows from operations, available cash and equivalents and credit lines.
As of October 31, 2000, we had lines of credit amounting to $35 million, of
which $26.6 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 requirements, we will
be required to obtain additional sources of capital in the future in order to
refinance the Loan Agreement and in connection with any potential REIT
conversion.

         During the nine months ended October 31, 2000 and 1999, the Company
declared quarterly preferred stock dividends of $.44375 per share and quarterly
common stock dividends of $.15 per share in the year 2000 and $.10 per share in
1999. These dividends aggregated $9.6 million and $7.9 million for the nine
months ended October 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

         Capital expenditures for the nine months ended October 31, 2000 were
$.7 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
October 31, 2000, we purchased 211,528 shares of common stock and 12,300 shares
of preferred stock at an aggregate cost of $2.6 million. Since the end of the
third quarter, we acquired an additional 18,500 common shares for $.2 million.
