                 GETTY PETROLEUM MARKETING INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)
1.  General:

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Getty Petroleum Marketing Inc. 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, 1999.

2. Earnings (loss) per share:

     Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net earnings (loss)
by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the
periods presented. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution
from the exercise of stock options in the amounts of 23,000 shares and 18,000
shares for the quarter and nine months ended October 31, 1999, respectively. For
the quarter ended October 31, 1998, diluted earnings per share reflects the
potential dilution from the exercise of stock options in the amount of 75,000
shares. For the nine months ended October 31, 1998, diluted loss per share
amounts do not reflect the potential dilution from the exercise of stock options
since such inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

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

         The Company's financial results are largely dependent on retail
marketing margins and rental income from its dealers. The petroleum marketing
industry has been and continues to be volatile and highly competitive. The cost
of petroleum products purchased as well as the price of petroleum products sold
have fluctuated widely. As a result of the historic volatility of product
margins and the fact that they are affected by numerous diverse factors, it is
not possible to predict with any degree of accuracy future product margin
levels. However, the Company believes that it has only been modestly affected by
inflation since increased costs are passed along to its customers to the extent
permitted by competition.

Results of Operations - Quarter ended October 31, 1999 compared
with quarter ended October 31, 1998

         Sales and operating revenues for the third fiscal quarter ended October
31, 1999 were $227.7 million as compared with $158.7 million for the same
quarter last year, an increase of 43.5%. The increase in sales and operating
revenues was due primarily to a 33.9% increase in average selling prices and an
8.6% increase in sales volume. Gallonage sold increased by 19.9 million gallons
to 251.6 million gallons.

         Gross profit before depreciation and amortization was $9.8 million for
the three months ended October 31, 1999 as compared with $9.3 million for the
three months ended October 31, 1998. The improvement of $.5 million was
principally due to increased volume, which contributed an additional $1.6
million of gross profit, partially offset by higher operating costs. The quarter
ended October 31, 1999 included a $1.7 million LIFO charge resulting from higher
products costs.

         Other income was $.1 million for the three months ended October 31,
1999 as compared with $.4 million for the three months ended October 31, 1998.
The decrease was due to lower investment income, higher charges related to the
termination of leases under a master lease agreement with Getty Realty Corp.
("Realty") and lower fees charged to Realty for certain administrative and
technical services the Company has provided under a services agreement since the
March 1997 spin-off. The quarter ended October 31, 1999 included a charge of
$65,000 related to the early termination of four leases under such master lease
agreement with Realty whereas the prior year quarter included a gain of $11,000
related to the termination of one lease under such master lease agreement with
Realty. The three months ended October 31, 1999 and 1998 included $158,000 and
$240,000, respectively, of net fees received from Realty for administrative and
technical services the Company has provided under the services agreement.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses were comparable for the
quarters ended October 31, 1999 and 1998.

         Depreciation and amortization was $4.0 million for the three month
period ended October 31, 1999 as compared with $3.9 million for the three months
ended October 31, 1998. The increase was due to higher depreciation as a result
of capital expenditures and acquisitions.

Results of Operations - Nine months ended October 31, 1999 compared
with nine months ended October 31, 1998

         Sales and operating revenues for the nine months ended October 31, 1999
were $581.7 million as compared with $502.0 million for the nine months ended
October 31, 1998, an increase of 15.9%. The increase in sales and operating
revenues was due primarily to an 11.7% increase in average selling prices and a
4.0% increase in sales volume. Gallonage sold increased by 29.1 million gallons
to 749.3 million gallons.

         Gross profit before depreciation and amortization was $29.9 million for
the nine months ended October 31, 1999 as compared with $19.0 million for the
nine months ended October 31, 1998. The improvement of $10.9 million was
principally due to higher product margins, which contributed an additional $7.7
million of gross profit, and increased volume, which contributed an additional
$2.3 million of gross profit. The nine month period ended October 31, 1999
included a $1.7 million LIFO charge resulting from higher product costs.

         Other income was $.7 million for the nine months ended October 31, 1999
as compared with $1.3 million for the nine months ended October 31, 1998. The
nine months ended October 31, 1999 included a charge of $283,000 related to the
early termination of eight leases under a master lease agreement with Realty
whereas the prior year period included a gain of $398,000 related to the early
termination of three leases under such master lease agreement with Realty. The
prior year period also included a $.2 million legal charge related to the
Company's Mt. Vernon terminal. Also included in other income for the nine months
ended October 31, 1999 and 1998 were $590,000 and $720,000, respectively, of net
fees received from Realty for administrative and technical services the Company
has provided under the services agreement since the spin-off.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses were $16.7 million for the
nine months ended October 31, 1999 as compared with $16.0 million for the nine
months ended October 31, 1998. The increase was primarily due to higher employee
related expenses and advertising costs.

         Depreciation and amortization was $12.3 million for the nine month
period ended October 31, 1999 as compared with $11.4 million for the nine months
ended October 31, 1998. The increase was due to higher depreciation as a result
of capital expenditures and acquisitions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         As of October 31, 1999, the Company had a working capital deficit of
$11.9 million as compared with a deficit of $2.5 million as of January 31, 1999.
The decrease in working capital was primarily due to $16.5 million of capital
expenditures at existing locations and $5.3 million of capital expenditures in
connection with acquisitions, partially offset by working capital generated
during the period from operations. The Company is able to operate its business
with negative working capital, principally because most sales are for cash,
payment terms are received from vendors and there is a time interval in the
payment of motor fuel taxes.

         The Company's principal source of liquidity is its cash flows from
operations, which amounted to $29.3 million during the nine months ended October
31, 1999. Management believes that cash requirements for operations, including
rental payments and capital expenditures, can be met by cash flows from
operations, cash and equivalents and credit lines. The Company has uncommitted
lines of credit with three banks in the aggregate amount of $50 million, which
may be utilized for working capital borrowings and letters of credit. As of
October 31, 1999, $3.1 million of the lines of credit were utilized in
connection with outstanding letters of credit to support the Company's insurance
programs. Borrowings under the lines of credit are unsecured and principally
bear interest at the applicable bank's prime rate or, at the Company's option,
1.1% above LIBOR. The lines of credit are subject to renewal at the discretion
of the banks.

         During the nine months ended October 31, 1999, the Company experienced
product cost increases of approximately 29 cents per gallon which resulted in
higher sales prices to customers and higher accounts receivable balances as
compared to January 31, 1999. In addition, the Company's inventory and accounts
payable balances increased as of October 31, 1999, in comparison to the prior
fiscal year end, principally due to product cost increases.

         As of October 31, 1999, the Company leased 1,060 retail outlets and 9
terminal facilities, of which 1,014 retail outlets and the terminal facilities
were leased from Realty under master lease agreements. Rent expense aggregated
$43.6 million for the nine months ended October 31, 1999, including $42.2
million under the master lease agreements with Realty.

         During the nine months ended October 31, 1999, the Company expended
$16.5 million for capital expenditures at existing locations and $5.3 million of
capital expenditures in connection with acquisitions. The Company's capital
expenditures include discretionary expenditures to improve the image of the
retail outlets, to improve the terminal facilities and for replacement of
service station equipment.


Year 2000

         The Year 2000 issue has arisen because, for many years, some computer
software programs and systems have utilized only two digits to specify the year.
As a result, these programs and systems may not be able to recognize and process
dates beyond 1999, which may cause these programs to malfunction or not be able
to accurately process information.

         The Company implemented a Year 2000 program for its internal systems
and equipment relating to its information technology systems and non-information
technology systems which consisted of four phases: (1) identification; (2)
assessment; (3) remediation (including modification, upgrading and replacement);
and (4) testing. All four phases of the program have been completed.






                                      -10-

<PAGE>   13


         The Company has reviewed the Year 2000 readiness of third parties who
provide goods or services which are essential to the Company's operations, such
as the parties who provide banking services, credit card processing,
environmental services and product suppliers. The Company has had formal
communications with significant third parties in order to determine the extent
to which the Company is vulnerable to any failure by such third parties to
remediate their respective Year 2000 problems and resolve such problems to the
extent practicable.

         The Company is finalizing a contingency plan to address issues specific
to the Year 2000 problem. The Plan includes performing certain processes
manually, obtaining replacement systems, changing suppliers where necessary as
well as other appropriate measures.

         The Company's senior management and the Board of Directors receive
regular updates on the status of the Company's Year 2000 program. The cost of
these Year 2000 efforts has not been material since substantially all of the
compliance costs have been funded by reallocating existing internal resources
rather than incurring incremental costs.

         The Year 2000 issue presents a number of risks and uncertainties that
could affect the Company, which include, but are not limited to, the
availability of qualified personnel and other information technology resources;
the ability to identify and remediate all date sensitive lines of computer code
or to replace embedded computer chips in affected systems or equipment; and the
ability of third parties to remediate their respective systems. The failure to
correct a material Year 2000 problem could result in an interruption in, or a
failure of, certain normal business activities or operations. Such failures
could materially and adversely affect the Company's results of operations,
liquidity and financial condition. Due to the general uncertainty inherent in
the Year 2000 problem, resulting in part from the uncertainty of the Year 2000
readiness of third-party suppliers and customers, the Company is unable to
determine at this time whether the consequences of Year 2000 failures will have
a material impact on the Company's results of operations, liquidity or financial
condition.
