REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

To the Board of Directors of Getty Realty Corp.:

We have audited the accompanying Combined Statement of Revenues and Certain Expenses of the Trustreet Portfolio for the Year Ended December 31, 2006. This Combined Statement of Revenues and Certain Expenses is the responsibility of the Property’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Combined Statement of Revenues and Certain Expenses based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Combined Statement of Revenues and Certain Expenses is free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the Combined Statement of Revenues and Certain Expenses. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall presentation of the Combined Statement of Revenues and Certain Expenses. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
The accompanying Combined Statement of Revenues and Certain Expenses was prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (for inclusion in the Current Report on Form 8-K/A of Getty Realty Corp.) as described in Note 1, and is not intended to be a complete presentation of the Trustreet Portfolio revenues and expenses.
 
In our opinion, the Combined Statement of Revenues and Certain Expenses presents fairly, in all material respects, the combined revenues and certain expenses, as described in Note 1, of the Trustreet Portfolio for the year ended December 31, 2006, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The Combined Statement of Certain Revenue and Certain Expenses for the Year Ended December 31, 2006 was prepared for the purpose of complying with Rule 3-14 of the Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the statement includes the operations of the Trustreet Portfolio for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2006. Further, the statement is not representative of the actual operations for the period presented as revenues and certain expenses, which may not be directly attributable to the revenues and expenses expected to be incurred in future operations of the Trustreet Portfolio, have been excluded. Such items include interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense, interest income and income taxes. Except as noted above, management is not aware of any material factors that would cause the information included herein to not be indicative of future operating results.

2.     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

Use of Estimates, Judgments and Assumptions

The financial statement has been prepared in conformity with GAAP, which requires management to make its best estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the combined statement of revenues and certain expenses during the period reported and accompanying notes. While all available information has been considered, actual results could differ from those estimates, judgments and assumptions. Estimates, judgments and assumptions underlying the accompanying combined financial statement include, but are not limited to, deferred rent receivable, environmental remediation costs net of recoveries from state underground storage tank funds, real estate, above and below market leases and intangible assets, impairment of long-lived assets and accrued expenses.

Revenue Recognition

The Trustreet Portfolio earns rental revenue under operating leases with tenants. Minimum lease rentals are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the leases. Rental revenue for the year ended December 31, 2006 includes $452,000 of deferred rental revenue accrued due to recognition of rental revenue on a straight-line basis. Rental revenue for the year ended December 31, 2006 includes $54,000 of net rental revenue due to amortization of below market leases of $588,000, net of amortization of above market leases of $534,000, which is recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the leases, which generally includes the tenant’s renewal option terms for below market leases. Certain leases require a percentage rent payment in addition to the minimum rent if the tenant’s monthly sales are in excess of the established breakpoint. The amount earned as percentage rent for the year ended December 31, 2006 per the related lease agreements was $73,000 and is included in rental revenue.

Recoveries from tenants for real estate taxes and other reimbursable operating expenses are recognized as revenue in the period that the applicable costs are incurred. Contingent rental revenue is recognized as earned.
 
3.     Leasing Activities
 
The management of the Trustreet Portfolio estimates that the tenants made annual real estate tax payments for properties of approximately $585,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006 and made additional payments for other operating expenses related to these properties, including environmental remediation costs. These costs, which have been assumed by the tenants under the terms of their leases, are not reflected in the combined financial statement.

The Trustreet Portfolio has noncancellable leases with tenants requiring monthly payments of specified minimum rent. Future minimum rental commitments under the noncancellable operating leases at December 31, 2006 are as follows:
 
Year ending December 31,
 
 
 
2007
 
$
7,500,000
 
2008
   
7,521,000
 
2009
   
7,609,000
 
2010
   
7,631,000
 
2011
   
7,691,000
 
Thereafter
   
69,727,000
 


Rent expense consists of minimum rentals on a non-cancelable operating lease of $78,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006 and is included in rental property expenses using the straight-line method. The leased property has a remaining lease term of 17 years, including renewal options. Future minimum annual rentals payable under the lease, excluding renewal options, are as follows: 2007 — $79,000, 2008 — $79,000, 2009 — $81,000, 2010 — $87,000, 2011 — $87,000 and $240,000 thereafter.

Rental revenue recognized from the subleased property for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $115,000.
 
4.     Subsequent Events

On February 15, 2007, the Board of Directors of Getty Realty Corp. ratified a Contract for Sale and Purchase dated as of February 6, 2007 (the “Agreement”) entered into with various subsidiaries of Trustreet. The Agreement relates to the acquisition by Getty Realty Corp. of up to sixty-eight convenience store and gas station properties owned and leased by Trustreet.

On March 30, 2007 and April 23, 2007, Trustreet sold fifty-nine and five, respectively, properties to Getty Realty Corp. for approximately $83,400,000 in cash pursuant to the Agreement. It is not probable that the remaining four properties subject to the Agreement will be acquired by Getty Realty Corp.

GETTY REALTY CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.     Basis of Presentation:

The pro forma financial statements are unaudited. Certain information and footnote disclosures that would be included in financial statements presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted. Management believes the disclosures are adequate to make the pro forma financial information presented not misleading. This information should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, and other information contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 and the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2007.

The pro forma consolidated balance sheet of the Company reflects the financial condition of the Company as of March 31, 2007 (i) on a historical basis (which includes the fifty-nine properties acquired effective March 31, 2007) and (ii) as adjusted to reflect the purchase from certain subsidiaries of FF-TSY Holding Company II, LLC (the successor to Trustreet Properties, Inc.) (“Trustreet”) of five properties acquired on April 23, 2007, the accrual of related expenses and the additional borrowings under the Company’s credit facility to fund the purchase, in each case as if the transactions had occurred on March 31, 2007.

The pro forma consolidated statements of operations reflect the results of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and the year ended December 31, 2006 (i) on a historical basis and (ii) as adjusted to include the pro forma operating results of the sixty-four properties purchased by the Company on March 31, 2007 and April 23, 2007 (the “Trustreet Portfolio”) as if the transactions had occurred on January 1, 2006.

The Company's historical and pro forma allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is preliminary and subject to change. The purchase price has been allocated between assets, liabilities and intangible assets based on the initial estimates of fair value. These allocations are preliminary and may not be indicative of the final allocations. The Company continues to evaluate the existence of pre-acquisition contingencies and the assumptions used in valuing the real estate. The Company anticipates finalizing these allocations during the latter part of 2007. A change in the final allocation from what is presented may result in an increase or decrease in identified intangible assets and changes in revenue from rental properties, depreciation, amortization or other expenses.

The Company estimated the fair value of acquired tangible assets (consisting of land, buildings and improvements) “as if vacant” and identified intangible assets and liabilities (consisting of leasehold interests, above-market and below-market leases, leases in-place and tenant relationships) and assumed liabilities.

(A)  
Represents (i) the purchase of five properties acquired by the Company on April 23, 2007 including costs allocated to, but not limited to, leases in-place, above market value leases and below market value leases, (ii) accrual of related expenses, and (iii) additional borrowings under the Company’s credit facility to fund the purchase.

(B)  
Represents the Company’s straight-line rent adjustment to the Trustreet Portfolio historical rental income.

(C)  
Represents the Company’s rental income adjustment related to the amortization of above market leases and below market leases which is recognized on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the leases, which averages 11 years and includes the tenant’s option terms for below market leases.

(D)  
Represents the Company’s depreciation and amortization expense related to the value of buildings, equipment, leasehold improvements and leases in-place. Buildings, equipment, leasehold improvements and leases in-place are depreciated on a straight-line basis over twenty-five years for building, ten to sixteen years for equipment, the lesser of the life of the asset or the lease term for leasehold improvements and the term of the lease for leases in-place.

(E)  
Represents adjustment to interest expense due to an assumed $84,535,000 increase in borrowings outstanding under the credit facility at the Company’s average borrowing rate for the period. If average market interest rates were 0.125% higher for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and the year ended December 31, 2006, the pro forma interest expense adjustments would have increased by approximately $26,000 and $106,000, respectively.
