                   GETTY PETROLEUM CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 (Unaudited)

1.  General:

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of Getty Petroleum Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the "Company").
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.

2.  Earnings per share:

     Earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted
average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.
Common stock equivalents are not included in earnings per share computations
since their effect is immaterial.

3.  Inventories:

     Inventories, primarily finished petroleum products, are principally
accounted for under the lower of last-in, first-out ("LIFO") cost or market.
As of October 31, 1995 and January 31, 1995, the carrying value of the
Company's LIFO inventories approximated the first-in, first-out ("FIFO")
method or replacement cost.

4.  Debt:

     As of October 27, 1995, the Company refinanced a mortgage loan which was
originally payable through January 1, 1998.  The loan had an outstanding
balance of $18,320,000 at an interest rate of prime (8.75% at October 27,
1995).  The amended and restated loan agreement provides for interest at
LIBOR plus 1.0% to 1.625% per annum, depending on the Funded Debt Ratio of
the Company.  As of October 31, 1995, the interest rate was LIBOR plus 1.25%
or 7.12%.  Principal payments are $218,000 per month through October 1, 2000
with the balance of $5,194,625 due on November 1, 2000.

5.  Restructuring Charge:

     In the third quarter of the prior fiscal year, the Company recorded a
pre-tax restructuring charge of $2.3 million to provide for severance and
other related restructuring costs.  The charge is included in Other income
(loss), net in the 1994 Consolidated Statements of Operations.

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

Results of Operations - Quarter ended October 31, 1995 compared
 with quarter ended October 31, 1994
- - ------------------------------------

     Net sales for the quarter ended October 31, 1995 were $212.0 million as
compared with $195.3 million for the same quarter last year.  The increase in
net sales was principally due to a 14% increase in average selling prices and
an increase in retail gallonage sold, partially offset by a decrease in
wholesale gallonage sold.  Gross profit (excluding rental and other income)
decreased by $1.8 million in the quarter ended October 31, 1995 as compared
to the same quarter last year.  The decrease in gross profit was principally
due to lower product margins and higher environmental expenditures.

     Rental income for the three months ended October 31, 1995 amounted to
$8.7 million as compared with $8.1 million for the quarter ended October 31,
1994.  The increase was due to increased lease rental rates in Company owned
and leased locations and lease renewals.

     Other income, net was $1.6 million for the three months ended October
31, 1995 as compared with a loss of $.5 million for the quarter ended October
31, 1994.  The increase in other income was primarily due to a charge of $2.3
million recorded last year relating to severance and other restructuring
costs.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended
October 31, 1995 amounted to $6.5 million as compared with $7.4 million for
the quarter ended October 31, 1994. The decrease was principally due to lower
expenses as a result of the restructuring of the Company's organization and
its operations in October 1994.

     Interest expense for the three months ended October 31, 1995 amounted to
$2.3 million as compared with $2.7 million for the quarter ended October 31,
1994.  The decrease was principally due to reduced interest on capitalized
leases and lower average debt outstanding during the current fiscal quarter.

     Depreciation and amortization increased by $.2 million in the quarter
ended October 31, 1995 as compared with the quarter ended October 31, 1994
principally as a result of additions to property, plant and equipment.

<PAGE>
Results of Operations - Nine months ended October 31, 1995 compared
 with nine months ended October 31, 1994
- - ----------------------------------------

     Net sales for the nine months ended October 31, 1995 were $591.6 million
as compared with $546.0 million for the same period last year.  The increase
in net sales was principally due to a 13.8% increase in average selling
prices and an increase in retail gallonage sold, partially offset by a
decrease in wholesale gallonage sold.  Gross profit (excluding rental and
other income) was $26.4 million for the nine months ended October 31, 1995
compared to $20.5 million in the comparable period last year.  The increase
in gross profit was principally due to higher product margins, partially
offset by higher environmental expenditures.

     Rental income for the nine months ended October 31, 1995 amounted to
$25.7 million as compared with $23.9 million for the nine months ended
October 31, 1994.  The increase was due to increased lease rental rates in
Company owned and leased locations and lease renewals.

     Other income, net was $4.9 million for the nine months ended October 31,
1995 as compared with $1.9 million for the nine months ended October 31,
1994.  The increase in other income was primarily due to $2.7 million of
severance and other restructuring costs recorded in the prior year period.
In addition, $.7 million of higher investment income and $.5 million of
increased gains on dispositions of assets realized during the current year
were partially offset by $1 million of income recognized by the Company in
the prior year period from a claim settlement.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended
October 31, 1995 amounted to $19.5 million as compared with $20.5 million for
the nine months ended October 31, 1994.  The decrease was principally due to
lower expenses as a result of the restructuring of the Company's organization
and its operations in October 1994.

     Interest expense for the nine months ended October 31, 1995 amounted to
$7.3 million, a decrease of $1.5 million from the comparable period last
year.  The decrease was principally due to reduced debt outstanding during
the current period, principally related to the redemption in May 1994 of the
Company's subordinated debentures, and lower interest on capitalized leases.

     Depreciation and amortization increased by $.7 million in the current
nine month period as compared with the nine months ended October 31, 1994.
The increase was due to $.9 million of higher depreciation as a result of
additions to property, plant and equipment, partially offset by a decrease in
amortization of deferred charges of $.2 million.

     During the nine months ended October 31, 1994, the Company recorded an
extraordinary charge of $.8 million after taxes resulting from the early
retirement of the Company's subordinated debentures.

     The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115,
"Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities", as of the

<PAGE>
beginning of the prior fiscal year and reported the cumulative effect of the
change in accounting principle as a credit to earnings of $.2 million in the
Consolidated Statement of Operations for the quarter ended April 30, 1994.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- - -------------------------------

     As of October 31, 1995, working capital amounted to a deficit of $9.8
million as compared to a deficit of $10.7 million as of January 31, 1995.
The improvement in working capital was primarily due to funds from operations
during the nine month period, partially offset by $18.1 million of capital
expenditures, including property acquisitions, and the reduction of $9.4
million in long-term indebtedness.

     As of October 27, 1995, the Company refinanced through November 1, 2000
a mortgage loan in the amount of $18,320,000 which was originally payable
through January 1, 1998.  The Company expects that the refinancing will
result in interest savings of approximately $278,000 over the next twelve
months.

     The Company's principal sources of liquidity are cash flows from
operations, which amounted to $14.0 million during the nine months ended
October 31, 1995, and its short-term unsecured lines of credit.  As of
October 31, 1995, lines of credit amounted to $60.0 million, of which $8.4
million was utilized in connection with outstanding letters of credit.
Management believes that cash requirements for operations and debt service
can be met by cash generated from operations, cash balances and short-term
investments which amounted to $31.3 million at October 31, 1995, and its
available credit lines.
