                 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 21,000 shares and 14,000
shares for the quarter and six months ended July 31, 1999, respectively. For the
quarter and six months ended July 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

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

         Sales and operating revenues for the second fiscal quarter ended July
31, 1999 were $195.0 million as compared with $172.5 million for the same
quarter last year, an increase of 13.0%. The increase in sales and operating
revenues was due primarily to a 10.4% increase in average selling prices and a
2.5% increase in volume. Gallonage sold increased by 6.2 million gallons to
256.2 million gallons.

         Gross profit before depreciation and amortization was $10.1 million for
the three months ended July 31, 1999 as compared with $6.2 million for the three
months ended July 31, 1998. The improvement of $3.9 million was principally due
to higher product margins, which resulted in an additional $2.6 million of gross
profit, and increased volume, which resulted in an additional $.6 million of
gross profit.

         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.

         Other income was $.3 million for the three months ended July 31, 1999
as compared with $.7 million for the three months ended July 31, 1998. The
quarter ended July 31, 1999 included a charge of $37,000 related to the early
termination of two leases under a master lease agreement with Getty Realty Corp.
("Realty") whereas the prior year quarter included a gain of $387,000 related to
the termination of two leases under such master lease agreement with Realty.
Also included in other income for the three months ended July 31, 1999 and 1998
were $205,000 and $240,000 of net fees charged to Realty for certain
administrative and technical services the Company has provided under a services
agreement since the spin-off.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses were $5.8 million for the
three months ended July 31, 1999, an increase of $.5 million or 8.6% as compared
with the three months ended July 31, 1998. The increase was primarily due to
higher employee related expenses and advertising costs.

         Depreciation and amortization was $4.2 million for the three month
period ended July 31, 1999 as compared with $3.8 million for the three months
ended July 31, 1998. The increase was primarily due to higher depreciation as a
result of capital expenditures and acquisitions.

Results of Operations - Six months ended July 31, 1999 compared with six months
 ended July 31, 1998

         Sales and operating revenues for the six months ended July 31, 1999
were $354.0 million as compared with $343.3 million for the six months ended
July 31, 1998, an increase of 3.1%. The increase in sales and operating revenues
was due primarily to a 1.9% increase in sales volume and a 0.9% increase in
average selling prices. Gallonage sold increased by 9.2 million gallons to 497.7
million gallons.

         Gross profit before depreciation and amortization was $20.2 million for
the six months ended July 31, 1999 as compared with $9.7 million for the six
months ended July 31, 1998. The improvement of $10.5 million was principally due
to higher product margins, which resulted in an additional $8.5 million of gross
profit, and increased volume, which resulted in an additional $1.2 million of
gross profit.

         Other income was $.5 million for the six months ended July 31, 1999 as
compared with $.9 million for the six months ended July 31, 1998. The six months
ended July 31, 1999 included a charge of $218,000 related to the early
termination of four leases under a master lease agreement with Realty whereas
the prior year period included a gain of $387,000 related to the early
termination of two 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 six months
ended July 31, 1999 and 1998 were $432,000 and $480,000, respectively, of net
fees charged to Realty for certain administrative and technical services the
Company has provided under a services agreement since the spin-off.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses were $11.3 million for the
six months ended July 31, 1999 as compared with $10.6 million for the six months
ended July 31, 1998. The increase was primarily due to higher employee related
expenses and advertising costs.

         Depreciation and amortization was $8.3 million for the six month period
ended July 31, 1999 as compared with $7.5 million for the six months ended July
31, 1998. The increase was primarily due to higher depreciation as a result of
capital expenditures and acquisitions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         As of July 31, 1999, the Company had a working capital deficit of $10.0
million as compared with a deficit of $2.5 million as of January 31, 1999. The
decrease in working capital was primarily due to $11.7 million of capital
expenditures and $3.6 million of capital expended for 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 and payment terms are received for
motor fuel taxes and from vendors.

<PAGE>   12



         The Company's principal source of liquidity is its cash flows from
operations, which amounted to $21.0 million during the six months ended July 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 July
31, 1999, $2.0 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.

         As of July 31, 1999, the Company leased 1,016 retail outlets and 10
terminal facilities from Realty under three master lease agreements. Rent
expense aggregated $29.2 million for the six months ended July 31, 1999,
including $28.2 million under such master leases with Realty.

         During the six months ended July 31, 1999, the Company expended $11.7
million for capital expenditures and $3.6 million of capital was expended for
newly leased locations. 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 at existing and
newly leased locations.

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 has implemented a Year 2000 program for its internal
systems and equipment relating to its information technology systems and
non-information technology systems which has four phases: (1) identification;
(2) assessment; (3) remediation (including modification, upgrading and
replacement); and (4) testing. The identification, assessment and remediation
phases for all of the Company's significant internal business systems and
equipment has been completed. Testing of systems and programs following
remediation was approximately 90% complete as of July 31, 1999 and is expected
to be completed during the Company's third fiscal quarter.

         The Company is also reviewing 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 initiated 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.


                                      -10-


<PAGE>   13



         The Company is developing a contingency plan to address issues specific
to the Year 2000 problem. The Plan is expected to include 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, nor is expected to be, material since
substantially all of the compliance costs have been, and will continue to be,
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.
