Item 5.    Other Events.

         On July 20, 2001, The Chase Manhattan Bank purchased the lenders'
interests under the loan agreement between one of our subsidiaries, Power Test
Realty Company Limited Partnership, and Fleet National Bank. Getty and Chase
have restated the outstanding loan of approximately $20 million to bear interest
at the lower of the prime rate or 2.5% over 30-day LIBOR and to mature on August
31, 2002. As a result of such restatement, the non-monetary default alleged by
Fleet to have been caused by our amendment of our master lease with Getty
Petroleum Marketing Inc. in December 2000 has been cured. Getty expects to repay
the entire outstanding loan with a portion of the net proceeds of its proposed
7.7 million share common stock offering. No assurance can be given that an
offering will be made or consummated.

         Our second quarter ended on June 30, 2001. On a preliminary basis,
revenues from rental properties for the quarter were $17.1 million, including
$2.1 million of deferred rent receivable recognized during the period related to
future annual rent increases under the master lease with Getty Petroleum
Marketing Inc. Pre-tax earnings are estimated at $9.0 million for the current
year quarter compared to $6.0 million for the same quarter last year. Our "funds
from operations" for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 is estimated at $9.8
million, as compared to $6.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2000. We
compute "funds from operations" as net earnings available to common stockholders
before provision for income taxes (computed in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles), plus real estate related depreciation and
amortization and excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property and straight
line rent. These current quarter amounts are preliminary and may be modified as
our quarterly review process is completed.

Item 6.    Not Applicable.

Item 7.    Exhibit.

           The second amended and restated loan agreement between Getty and
           Chase is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

Item 8.    Not Applicable.

Item 9.    Not Applicable.
