PART I
Item 1. Business

General

Prior to the spin-off of its petroleum marketing business on March 21, 1997 (as
described below), Getty Realty Corp., known prior to March 31, 1997 as Getty
Petroleum Corp., (hereinafter, together with its subsidiaries, called "Getty" or
the "Company") was one of the nation's largest independent marketers of
petroleum products. Prior to the spin-off, the Company served retail and
wholesale customers through a distribution and marketing network of Getty(R) and
other branded retail outlets (also referred to as service stations) located in
12 Northeastern and Middle-Atlantic states. The Company purchased gasoline, fuel
oil and related petroleum products from a number of Northeast suppliers. These
products were delivered by cargo ship, barge, pipeline and truck to the
Company's distribution terminals and bulk plants located in the Company's
marketing region for distribution and sale throughout the 12 state region. The
Company also sold on a wholesale basis gasoline, fuel oil, diesel fuel and
kerosene from distribution terminals and bulk plants in truckload and barge
quantities and sold fuel oil, kerosene and propane to residential, commercial
and governmental customers in Maryland, Pennsylvania and upstate New York.

On March 21, 1997, the Company effected the spin-off (the "spin-off") of its
petroleum marketing business to its stockholders, and stockholders of record on
that date received a tax-free dividend of one share of common stock of Marketing
(as defined below) for each share of common stock of the Company. The Company
retained its real estate assets and leased most of its properties on a long-term
net basis to the spun-off company, which is named Getty Petroleum Marketing Inc.
("Marketing"), and the Company is now principally engaged in the ownership,
leasing and management of real estate. The Company also retained the
Pennsylvania and Maryland home heating oil business. The Company transferred to
Marketing the assets and liabilities of the petroleum marketing business and the
New York Mid-Hudson Valley home heating oil business. For additional information
regarding the spin-off, see Note 2 to the accompanying consolidated financial
statements.

The Company and its predecessors had been in the petroleum marketing business
for over 40 years. Mr. Leo Liebowitz, President and Chief Executive Officer and
a director of the Company, and Mr. Milton Safenowitz, a director and former
Executive Vice President of the Company, founded the business in 1955 with one
service station and pursued a strategy of expanding the business principally
through acquisitions. By 1985, the Company had expanded into five states under
various brand names, principally Power Test(R). On February 1, 1985, the Company
acquired the marketing and distribution assets of Getty Oil Company in the
Northeastern and Middle-Atlantic states from a subsidiary of Texaco Inc. The
Getty acquisition added service stations, distribution terminals and a wholesale
heating oil and middle distillate marketing network in six additional states.
From 1985 until the time of the spin-off, the Company's operations expanded to a
marketing region encompassing 12 Northeastern and Middle-Atlantic states through
additional acquisitions of numerous small regional distributors,


2
3
service stations and convenience food stores.

Reorganization

On January 30, 1998, the Company was reorganized as a Maryland corporation
pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization and Merger dated as of
December 16, 1997. See Item 4. "Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security
Holders" below and the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus of Getty Realty Corp.
and Power Test Investors Limited Partnership filed as part of the Company's
Registration Statement on Form S-4 dated January 12, 1998 (Registration No.
333-44065). Also on January 30, 1998, Getty Realty Corp., a Delaware
corporation, changed its name to Getty Properties Corp. and became a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. As used herein, the Company means Getty
Realty Corp., a Maryland corporation, and with respect to periods prior to
January 30, 1998, it means Getty Realty Corp., a Delaware corporation (also
referred to as "Old Getty"). In connection with the transaction, stockholders of
Old Getty received one share of common stock of the Company for each share of
Old Getty's common stock tendered for exchange. The Company's common stock is
listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

Merger with Power Test Investors Limited Partnership and Issuance of Preferred
Stock

Also on January 30, 1998, the Company merged with Power Test Investors Limited
Partnership (the "Partnership"), as a result of which the Company acquired fee
title to 295 properties which Old Getty had previously leased from the
Partnership. See Item 2. "Properties" below. In connection with the transaction,
2,888,799 shares of Series A Participating Convertible Redeemable Preferred
Stock, ($.01 par value), ("Preferred Stock") of the Company were issued to the
former limited partnership unitholders of the Partnership and to CLS General
Partnership Corp., the Partnership's general partner. On February 11, 1998, the
Preferred Stock commenced trading on the New York Stock Exchange.

Operating Strategy

As a result of the spin-off, the Company is now an independent real estate
company which will utilize its skills and knowledge of the petroleum industry to
make acquisitions and enter into lease transactions nationwide. The Company
intends to specialize in the ownership of properties in the petroleum industry
since it has substantial knowledge and expertise in this industry.

The Company has divided the United States into five regions, each to be managed
by experienced regional real estate directors with acquisition responsibility,
reporting to the national real estate director. The acquisition program includes
acquiring properties outright, acquiring properties and leasing them back to the
existing operators, building to suit for qualified operators and providing
financial resources to qualified operators for expansion. In addition to the
acquisition of the Partnership's 295 properties, the Company also acquired 15
individual fee properties during the year ended January 31, 1998.

Real Estate Business

Effective February 1, 1997, the Company and Marketing entered into a Master
Lease Agreement (the "Master Lease") under which, as of January 31, 1998, 1,024
service station and convenience store properties and 10 distribution terminals
and bulk plants are leased or subleased by the Company as the lessor to
Marketing as the lessee. The initial term of the Master Lease is 15 years, with
four ten-year renewal options (or with respect to leased properties, such
shorter period as the underlying lease may provide). The Master Lease is a
"triple-net" lease, so Marketing is responsible for the cost of all taxes,
maintenance, repairs, insurance and other operating expenses. Rent for each of
the properties was set using the then fair market value of each such property,
assuming the properties were free of certain environmental conditions for which
the Company is responsible.

The Company received net lease payments from Marketing aggregating approximately
$57 million (of the $59.6 million total revenues from rental properties) for the
fiscal year ended January 31, 1998 and is therefore materially dependent upon
the ability of Marketing to meet its obligations under the Master Lease with the
Company. Marketing's financial results depend largely on retail marketing
margins and rental income from its dealers. The petroleum marketing industry has
been and continues to be volatile and highly competitive; however, the Company
does not anticipate that Marketing will have difficulty making all required
rental payments for the foreseeable future.

As of January 31, 1998, the Company had additional properties not under the
Master Lease, most of which are leased for non-petroleum use, for which there
are 153 tenants. The Company also had 32 properties being held for disposition.

Heating Oil Business

During the year ended January 31, 1998, the Company's retained heating oil
business in Pennsylvania and Maryland sold heating oil, propane (LPG) and
related services directly to approximately 19,100 retail and commercial
customers.

Regulation

The Company is subject to numerous federal, state and local laws and
regulations. The costs related to compliance with those laws and regulations
have not had and are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the
competitive or financial position of the Company, although such costs may have a
significant impact on the Company's results of operations or liquidity for any
single fiscal year or interim period.

The Company's operations have been governed by numerous federal, state and local
environmental laws and regulations. These laws have included (i) requirements to
report to governmental authorities discharges of petroleum products into the
environment and, under certain circumstances, to remediate the soil and/or
groundwater contamination pursuant to


4
5
governmental order and directive, (ii) requirements to remove and replace
underground storage tanks which have exceeded governmental-mandated age
limitations and (iii) the requirement to provide a certificate of financial
responsibility with respect to claims relating to underground storage tank
failures.

Environmental expenses have been attributable to remediation, monitoring, soil
disposal and governmental agency reporting (collectively, "Remediation Costs")
incurred in connection with contaminated sites and the replacement or upgrading
of underground storage tanks, related piping, underground pumps, wiring and
monitoring devices (collectively, "USTs") to meet federal, state and local
environmental standards, as well as routine monitoring and tank testing. Under
the Master Lease, the Company committed to a program to bring scheduled leased
properties to regulatory closure and, thereafter, transfer all environmental
risks from the Company to Marketing. In order to establish the Remediation Costs
obligation and estimate the incremental cost of accelerated remediation, the
Company in fiscal 1997 commissioned a detailed property-by-property
environmental study of all retail outlets, with the objective of achieving
closure in approximately five years. As a result, the Company revised its
estimate of future Remediation Costs in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1997 and
recorded a pre-tax charge in such quarter for Remediation Costs of $21.2
million. The pre-tax charge resulted from the acceleration of remediation
activities to be paid by the Company through more aggressive means of treating
contaminated sites to bring them to closure in approximately five years, which
resulted in significant incremental Remediation Costs, changes in estimated
Remediation Costs at previously identified properties, including costs to be
incurred in connection with UST upgrades, and additional charges to comply with
AICPA Statement of Position 96-1, "Environmental Remediation Liabilities".

The Company believes that it is in substantial compliance with federal, state
and local provisions enacted or adopted pertaining to environmental matters.
Although the Company is unable to predict what legislation or regulations may be
adopted in the future with respect to environmental protection and waste
disposal, existing legislation and regulations have had no material adverse
effect on its competitive position. See "Item 3. Legal Proceedings".

Personnel

As of January 31, 1998, the Company had 154 employees, of which 79 employees,
consisting of truck drivers and service technicians at its heating oil business,
were represented by Amalgamated Local Union 355. The Company considers its
relationships with its employees and the union to be satisfactory.

On January 30, 1998, the Company merged with the Partnership, a publicly traded
real estate limited partnership, in a transaction accounted for as a purchase.
As a result of the transaction, the Company acquired 295 fee properties,
consisting of 290 service station and convenience store properties and five
terminals, which were previously leased by the Partnership to the Company.

Prior to the merger, the Partnership was managed by the then general partner,
CLS General Partnership Corp. ("CLS"). The directors and stockholders of CLS are
also directors and the principal stockholders of the Company. As a result of the
merger, CLS received 28,890 shares of Preferred Stock of the Company in
consideration for its general and limited partnership interest in the
Partnership and its general partnership interest in Power Test Realty Company
Limited Partnership. See "Merger with Power Test Investors Limited Partnership
and Issuance of Preferred Stock" above. During the fiscal years ended January
31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, the Company made net lease payments to the Partnership
of $10,032,000, $10,061,000 and $10,553,000, respectively. In addition, during
the fiscal years ended January 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, the Company billed the
Partnership and reflected in other income $672,000, $672,000 and $648,000,
respectively, for administrative and other services rendered to the Partnership.

As of January 31, 1998, the Company also owned in fee 15 distribution terminals
and bulk plants and leased 3 distribution terminals and bulk plants (on a
long-term net lease basis) located in New York, New Jersey, Rhode Island,
Pennsylvania, Connecticut and Maryland. The terminals and bulk plants owned or
leased by the Company have an aggregate storage capacity of approximately 59
million gallons. The terminals located in East Providence (Rhode Island) and
Rensselaer (New York) are deep-water terminals, capable of handling large
vessels. Some of the Company's terminals have excess capacity and land that
could be developed or adapted to handle products, such as residual fuel, jet
fuel and lube blending. Ten of the distribution terminals and bulk plants are
leased or sub-leased to Marketing with the remaining eight bulk plants utilized
in the Company's retained heating oil business.

As of January 31, 1998, the Company leases approximately 30,500 square feet of
office space at 125 Jericho Turnpike, Jericho, New York, where it currently
maintains its corporate headquarters, most of which has been subleased to
Marketing.

The Company believes that substantially all of its owned and leased properties
are in good condition.

For a description of the Company's lease arrangements with Marketing after the
spin-off, see discussion above under the caption "Real Estate Business".

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

(a) Information in response to this item is incorporated herein by reference
from Notes 5 and 12 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements set forth
on pages 22 and 23, and page 27, respectively, of the Annual Report. The
Company's legal proceedings have been appropriately reserved for in the
Company's consolidated financial statements.

In 1986, the State of New York brought an action against the Company which was
filed in New York State Supreme Court in Albany County for an alleged
underground discharge of petroleum products at a service station. The State is
seeking reimbursement in the amount of $179,000 for cleanup costs, plus interest
and a penalty of $10,000 for the alleged discharge. On March 23, 1998, the
insurance carrier, who had been defending the Company under a reservation of
rights, advised the Company that it will continue to defend the Company but will
not indemnify it.

In 1991, the State of New York brought an action in the New York State Supreme
Court in Albany County against one of the Company's former subsidiaries seeking
reimbursement in the amount of $189,000 for cleanup costs incurred at a service
station. The State is also seeking penalties of $200,000 and interest. There has
been no activity in this proceeding in the past several years.

In 1992, the State of New York asserted a claim for reimbursement of cleanup
costs against the Company and another petroleum company, in the amount of
$121,000, together with statutory penalties of $100,000, pertaining to an
alleged spill at a service station in 1984. In 1996, the


7
8
State of New York brought an action in the New York State Supreme Court in
Albany County against the Company and the other petroleum company seeking
cleanup costs of $209,000, together with interest and penalties of $200,000.

In 1993, the State of New York asserted a claim against the Company for cleanup
costs incurred at a service station and for statutory penalties. In 1994, an
action was filed in New York State Supreme Court in Albany County to recover
$522,000 for cleanup costs and unspecified penalties and interest.

In 1994, a subsidiary of the Company was served with an Amended Complaint naming
the Company's subsidiary as one of many defendants in the Keystone Superfund
case pending in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania,
pertaining to the subsidiary's miscellaneous office refuse and used furnace air
and oil filters which were disposed of at the site. In 1995, another subsidiary
of the Company was brought into the same action pertaining to convenience store
refuse. In August 1997, the Company and its subsidiaries paid into escrow
$40,000 in full settlement. The settlement, which has been approved by the U. S.
EPA, has not yet been approved by the Court.

In December 1995, Pennsauken Solid Waste Management Authority, its
successor-in-interest, the Pollution Control Financing Authority of Camden
County and the Township of Pennsauken, New Jersey commenced an action for
unspecified amounts against certain defendants for all costs and damages
incurred for the remediation of the Pennsauken Sanitary Landfill. In November
1996, one of the defendants filed a third party complaint in the Superior Court
of New Jersey, Camden County, against its former customers, including a former
construction company subsidiary of the Company, seeking indemnification from the
third party defendants for all costs it incurred or will incur in response to
the release of hazardous substances in the landfill plus attorneys' fees. The
Company believes that the exposure is not material inasmuch as the quantities of
construction fill deposited at the waste site were small.

In 1996, the State of New York asserted three separate claims against the
Company for reimbursement of cleanup costs incurred at service stations in the
amount of (i) $291,000, plus statutory penalties of $150,000, (ii) $112,000,
plus interest and (iii) $463,000, plus interest.

On April 1, 1998, the State of New York asserted a claim against a former
subsidiary of the Company for reimbursement in the amount of $185,000 for
cleanup costs that were incurred at a heating oil customer's home in 1991.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

On January 30, 1998, a Special Meeting of Stockholders was held to vote on
proposals to approve and adopt (i) an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization and
Merger, dated as of December 16, 1997, by and between Getty Realty Corp., a
Delaware corporation, Power Test Investors Limited Partnership, a New York
limited partnership and CLS General Partnership Corp., a Delaware corporation,
and (ii) the Company's 1998 Stock Option Plan. Both of the
