The Current Report on Form 8-K of Getty Realty Corp. (the “Company”) filed on April 6, 2011 (“the Initial Form 8-K”) is hereby amended solely to provide unaudited pro forma financial information related to a sale/leaseback transaction with Nouria Energy Ventures I, LLC (“Nouria”), a subsidiary of Nouria Energy Group, whereby the Company acquired 66 Shell branded gasoline station and convenience store properties located in and around the Greater Boston and Southern New Hampshire area (the “Nouria Transaction”), all as described in the Initial Form 8-K.

The Company’s total investment in the Nouria Transaction was approximately $86.0 million, which was financed entirely with borrowings under the Company’s existing $175.0 million amended and restated senior unsecured credit agreement.

The properties were acquired in a simultaneous transaction among Motiva Enterprises LLC (“Shell”), Nouria and the Company whereby Nouria acquired 66 gasoline station and convenience store properties from Shell and simultaneously completed a sale/leaseback of the real property interests pertaining to the properties, and certain personal property related thereto, with the Company. The lease between the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, GTY MA/NH Leasing, Inc., as lessor, and Nouria, as lessee, governing the properties is a unitary triple net lease agreement (the “Unitary Lease”), with an initial term of 20 years, and options for two successive renewal terms of 10 years each followed by an option for one renewal term of five years. The Unitary Lease requires Nouria to pay a fixed annual rent for the properties, plus an amount equal to all rent due to third party landlords pursuant to the terms of third party leases.  The Unitary Lease also provides for annual rent escalations.  As a triple-net lease, Nouria as lessee is also required to pay all amounts pertaining to the properties subject to the Unitary Lease, including environmental expenses, taxes, assessments, licenses and permit fees, charges for public utilities and all governmental charges.

The unaudited pro forma financial information provided herein was not available to the Company at the time the Company filed the Initial Form 8-K.

GETTY REALTY CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET

1. Basis of Presentation:

The pro forma consolidated balance sheet is unaudited. Certain information and footnote disclosures that would be included in the financial statement 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 unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet presented not misleading. The pro forma consolidated balance sheet 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, 2010.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet of the Company reflects the financial condition of the Company as of December 31, 2010 (i) on a historical basis, (ii) as adjusted to reflect the Company’s acquisition on March 31, 2011 of 53 fee owned and 13 leasehold interests in 66 Shell-branded gasoline station and convenience store properties from, and simultaneous leaseback to, Nouria Energy Ventures I, LLC (“Nouria”), and (iii) borrowings under the Company’s Credit Agreement to fund the purchase of the gasoline station and convenience store properties, in each case as if the transactions had occurred on December 31, 2010. The lease between the Company, as lessor, and Nouria, as lessee, governing the properties is a unitary triple net lease agreement (the “Unitary Lease”), with an initial term of 20 years, and options for two successive renewal terms of 10 years each followed by an option for one renewal term of five years. The Unitary Lease requires Nouria to pay a fixed annual rent for the properties plus an amount equal to all rent due to third party landlords pursuant to the terms of third party leases. The Unitary Lease also provides for annual rent escalations.  As a triple-net lessee, Nouria is required to pay all amounts pertaining to the properties subject to the Unitary Lease, including taxes, assessments, licenses and permit fees, charges for public utilities and all governmental charges.

The Company's pro forma allocation of the purchase price among the assets acquired is preliminary and subject to change. The purchase price has been allocated among the assets acquired 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 assumptions used in valuing the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company anticipates finalizing these allocations during the latter part of 2011. A change in the final allocation from what is presented may result in an increase or decrease in identified assets and liabilities or the recognition of additional assets, liabilities or expenses and changes in revenue and expenses, including amortization and other expenses.

The Company estimated the fair value of acquired tangible assets (consisting of land, buildings and equipment) “as if vacant” and intangible assets and liabilities consisting of above and below market leases. Based on these estimates, the Company allocated $47,810,000 of the purchase price to land, which is accounted for as an operating lease, $25,370,000 to buildings and equipment, which is accounted for as a direct financing lease and $12,000,000 which is accounted for in notes, mortgages and accounts receivable, net. The Company also recorded $4,006,000 of the purchase price as deferred assets and $3,863,000 as deferred liabilities for amounts allocated to above and below market leases with landlords and tenants. The Company also recognized $797,000 of costs related to the acquisition.

Represents (i) the acquisition on March 31, 2011 of 53 fee owned and 13 leasehold interests in 66 Shell-branded gasoline station and convenience store properties by the Company, and (ii) borrowings under the Company’s Credit Agreement to fund the transaction.
