                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                June 30, 1996
                                 (unaudited)

1.  Basis of Presentation:

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited but, in the
opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) necessary for a fair presentation.

2.  Organization:

Power Test Investors Limited Partnership ("Partnership") is a New York limited
partnership which was formed in January 1985 to invest in and become the
limited partner in Power Test Realty Company Limited Partnership ("Operating
Partnership"), also a New York limited partnership.  The Operating Partnership
was formed to acquire, own, lease and sell or dispose of certain of the assets
("Assets") formerly used in the petroleum marketing operations of Getty Oil
Company and Getty Refining and Marketing Company located in the Northeastern
and Mid-Atlantic states.  The Operating Partnership has leased to Getty
Petroleum Corp. ("Getty") the Assets which were acquired on February 1, 1985.
The leases are principally for initial periods of fifteen years expiring
January 31, 2000 (subject to five ten year renewal periods through 2050) and
provide for aggregate annual rental payments of approximately $10,132,000 as
of June 30, 1996.  The general partner of the Partnership and the Operating
Partnership is CLS General Partnership Corp. ("General Partner").

The limited partners of the Partnership contributed approximately 79% of the
capital of the Partnership and share pro rata with the General Partner (which
contributed approximately 21% of the capital of the Partnership) in the
financial and tax attributes of the Partnership.  The Partnership contributed
99% of the capital of the Operating Partnership and shares pro rata with the
General Partner (which contributed the remaining 1% of the capital of the
Operating Partnership) in the financial and tax attributes of the Operating
Partnership.  In 1990 and 1991, the General Partner purchased 38,933 and
46,000 units of limited partnership interests, respectively, further
increasing its ownership of the Partnership as of June 30, 1996 to
approximately 22.3%.

3.  Consolidation:

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Partnership
and the Operating Partnership.  All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated.

The General Partner's share of the Operating Partnership's income for the
periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 has been reflected as "Income applicable
to minority interest" in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

4.  Cash and Cash Equivalents:

As of June 30, 1996, $2,189,000 of cash is restricted for the acquisition of
additional properties or the repayment of debt.  In addition, the Operating
Partnership is required under the terms of its mortgage loan agreement to
maintain cash balances or other investments of at least $1,000,000 through
December 31, 1998 and $500,000 thereafter.


5.  Partners' Capital:

6.  Dispositions of Properties:

In accordance with the terms of the lease, the Operating Partnership sold
three service station properties to Getty during 1996 for eleven times the
annual rentals, resulting in net gains to the Partnership of $415,031 and
$657,570 for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, respectively.
During the first quarter of 1995, the Operating Partnership sold a service
station property to Getty for eleven times the annual rental resulting in a
net gain of $339,475 to the Partnership.

During 1996, three service station properties were subject to partial
condemnations which resulted in the taking of certain of the land.  The
condemnations resulted in net gains to the Partnership of $21,151 and $35,856
for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, respectively.  During the

                                      5

first quarter of 1995, the New Haven terminal was subject to a partial
condemnation which resulted in the taking of certain of the land.  The
condemnation resulted in a net gain of $158,494 to the Partnership.

The net gains resulting from the aforementioned dispositions have been
reflected in "Other income" in the accompanying consolidated statements of
income.

                   Management's Discussion and Analysis of
                Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The Partnership was formed to invest in and become the limited partner in the
Operating Partnership.  The operations of the Operating Partnership consist of
leasing to Getty properties which were acquired by the Operating Partnership
on February 1, 1985.  The leases are principally for initial periods of
fifteen years expiring January 31, 2000 (subject to five ten year renewal
periods through 2050) and provide for aggregate annual rental payments of
approximately $10,132,000 as of June 30, 1996.

The decrease in rental income for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996
as compared to the prior year periods is due to the sale of certain
properties.

The increase in other income for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996
as compared to the prior year periods is principally due to increased gains on
dispositions of properties of $436,000 and $195,000, respectively.  Other
income also includes interest income earned on investments  for each of the
respective periods.

The decrease in interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30,
1996 as compared to the prior year periods is principally due to lower
interest rates and debt outstanding as a result of refinancing the Operating
Partnership's debt.

As of June 30, 1996, cash and cash equivalents amounted to $3,828,000, of
which $3,189,000 was restricted under the terms of the mortgage loan.
Restricted funds of $2,189,000 may be used to acquire additional properties or
to reduce the outstanding loan balance and the Operating Partnership is
required to maintain cash balances or other investments of at least $1,000,000
through December 31, 1998 and $500,000 thereafter.

During the six months ended June 30, 1996, the Operating Partnership acquired
a service station property in New Jersey, and certain land adjacent to an
existing service station property in Massachusetts, for a total of $325,000.
The Operating Partnership has leased these locations to Getty at fair market
rentals.

On November 9, 1995, the Partnership announced that it may purchase in the
market from time to time through March 15, 1996 up to 150,000 of its Units at
prices not to exceed $8.00 per Unit.  In June 1995, the Partnership had
offered to purchase Units for $7.50 per Unit.  Through March 15, 1996, the
Partnership purchased 9,912 Units for $76,897, of which 514 Units were
purchased for $4,112 during the quarter ended March 31, 1996.

The Partnership has made quarterly cash distributions to its unitholders since
1987.  On September 3, 1996, a cash distribution of 18.5 cents per unit will
be paid to unitholders of record on August 1, 1996.  On April 23, 1996, a
special extra cash distribution of 10 cents per unit was paid to unitholders
of record on April 11, 1996.
