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.

On March 21, 1997, the Company effected a spin-off of its petroleum marketing
business to its stockholders (the "spin-off"), and stockholders of record on
that date received a tax-free dividend of one share of common stock of Getty
Petroleum Marketing Inc. ("Marketing") for each share of common stock of the
Company. 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. In December 1998, the Company sold its heating oil business, Aero Oil
Company. The Company retained its real estate assets and leased most of its
properties on a long-term net basis to Marketing. The Company is now engaged in
the ownership, leasing and management of real estate. For additional information
regarding the spin-off and the sold heating oil business, see Notes 2 and 3 to
the consolidated financial statements contained in the accompanying Annual
Report.

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 former director and
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. This
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, 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. Also on January 30, 1998, Getty Realty Corp., a Delaware
corporation, changed its name to Getty


2
3

Properties Corp. and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. When we
refer to the Company, we mean Getty Realty Corp., a Maryland corporation, and
for periods prior to January 30, 1998, we mean 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 under the ticket
symbol "GTY".

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

Also on January 30, 1998, the Company acquired 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,
2,888,798 shares of Series A Participating Convertible Redeemable Preferred
Stock, $.01 par value, ("Preferred Stock") of the Company were issued to the
former 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 under the ticker symbol "GTY
PrA".

Real Estate Business

The Company specializes in the ownership of properties in the petroleum industry
since it has substantial knowledge and expertise in this industry. The Company's
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.

On February 1, 1997, the Company and Marketing entered into a Master Lease
Agreement (the "Master Lease") under which, as of January 31, 1999, 1,013
service station and convenience store properties and 10 distribution terminals
and bulk plants were 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 property,
assuming the properties were free of certain environmental conditions for which
the Company is responsible.

The Company received lease payments from Marketing aggregating approximately
$56.4 million (of the $58.9 million total revenues from rental properties) for
the fiscal year ended January 31, 1999, and is therefore materially dependent
upon the ability of Marketing to meet its obligations under the Master Lease.
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



3
4


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, 1999, the Company had additional properties not included under
the Master Lease, most of which are leased for non-petroleum use, for which
there are 69 tenants. The Company also had 29 properties being held for
disposition.

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
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 operation of petroleum properties are 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 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 commissioned a detailed property-by-property environmental study of all
retail outlets in fiscal 1997, 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 that 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, 1999, the Company had 11 employees. Under a Services
Agreement, Marketing provides certain administrative and technical services to
the Company and the Company provides certain limited services to Marketing. The
net fees paid by the Company to Marketing for services performed (after
deducting the fees paid by Marketing to the Company for services provided by the
Company) were $960,000 for each of the years ended January 31, 1999 and 1998 and
are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated
statements of operations.

Special Factors Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K may constitute
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. When we use the words "believes", "expects",
"plans", "estimates" and similar expressions, we intend to identify
forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements involve known and
unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual
results, performance and achievements of the Company to be materially different
from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by
these forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to:
risks associated with owning and leasing real estate generally; dependence on
Marketing as a lessee and on rentals from companies engaged in the petroleum
marketing and convenience store businesses; competition for locations and
tenants; risk of tenant non-renewal; the effects of regulation; the Company's
expectations as to the cost of completing environmental remediation; the
remediation and testing phases of the Year 2000 program as well as its Year 2000
contingency plan; and the Company's belief that the internal systems and
equipment will be Year 2000 compliant in a timely manner. For a more detailed
discussion of risk factors, see the information set forth under the caption
"Risk Factors" in the Company's Proxy Statement/Prospectus dated January 13,
1998.

As a result of these and other factors, the Company may experience material
fluctuations in future operating results on a quarterly or annual basis, which
could materially and adversely effect its business, financial condition,
operating results and stock price. An investment in the Company involves various
risks, including those mentioned above and elsewhere in this report and those
which are detailed from time to time in the Company's other filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

Readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which
reflect the

Company's view only as of the date hereof. The Company undertakes no obligation
to publicly release revisions to these forward-looking statements that reflect
events or circumstances after the date hereof or reflect the occurrence of
unanticipated events.

On January 30, 1998, the Company acquired the Partnership, a publicly traded
real estate limited partnership, in a transaction accounted for as a purchase.

terminals, which were previously leased by the Company from the Partnership.

As of January 31, 1999, the Company owned in fee 7 distribution terminals and
leased 3 bulk plants (on a long-term net lease basis) located in New York, New
Jersey, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania and Connecticut. The terminals and bulk
plants owned or leased by the Company have an aggregate storage capacity of
approximately 57 million gallons. The terminals located in



6
7


East Providence (Rhode Island) and Rensselaer (New York) are deep-water
terminals, capable of handling large vessels. The ten distribution terminals and
bulk plants are leased or sub-leased to Marketing.

As of January 31, 1999, the Company leases approximately 32,000 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 17 and 18, and page 23, respectively, of the Annual Report.

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. The Company has asserted a claim against the carrier for its
refusal to indemnify the Company.

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 $57,000 for cleanup costs, plus interest
and a penalty of $500,000 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. The Company has asserted a claim against the carrier for its
refusal to indemnify the Company.

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



7
8

penalties of $100,000, pertaining to an alleged spill at a service station in
1984. In 1996, the 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. This lawsuit was settled in April 1999 by the payment by the
Company of $292,500.

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 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 because 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.

In April 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. On
August 12, 1998, an action was filed in the New York Supreme Court to recover
$185,000 for cleanup costs plus interest and penalties.

In June 1998, the Company was sued as a third-party defendant in the Superfund
case of U.S. v. Champion Chemical Co. and Imperial Oil Co., pending in the U.S.
District Court for New Jersey. The Company's defense is being conducted by
Texaco Inc., which has agreed to fully indemnify



8

the Company. In August 1998, the Company was sued as a third-party defendant in
the Superfund case of U.S. v. Manzo, pending in the U. S. District Court for New
Jersey. The Company's defense is being conducted by Texaco Inc., which has
agreed to fully indemnify the Company. These two matters involve a period of
time prior to 1985 when the properties were purchased from Texaco Inc. pursuant
to an agreement which provides that Texaco will indemnify the Company for
environmental matters of this kind.

In December 1998, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation
filed an administrative complaint against the Company for civil penalties for
alleged groundwater contamination and gasoline migration into a residence
basement in April 1997. The action was filed in response to a citizen's lawsuit
filed against the Company in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District
of New York.

In March 1999, the State of New York filed two lawsuits against the Company in
the amounts of $114,000 and $497,000, respectively, in the New York Supreme
Court , Albany County, seeking reimbursement for cleanup costs incurred at two
service stations, plus interest and penalties.
