Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
On January 3, 2001, Getty Petroleum Marketing Inc. (the "Company")
dismissed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Company's independent auditors. The
decision was made to change the Company's independent auditors in light of the
acquisition by OAO LUKOIL ("LUKOIL") of approximately 72% of the Company's
outstanding shares of common stock on December 8, 2000 and the anticipated
merger of the Company with and into Mikecon Corp., after which the Company will
become an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of LUKOIL. KPMG L.L.P. acts as
LUKOIL's worldwide independent auditors, and KPMG L.L.P. will act as the
Company's new independent auditors in connection with KPMG's engagement by
LUKOIL. The board of directors of the Company did not recommend or approve the
dismissal of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, but it is anticipated that the action
will be ratified and approved at the next regularly scheduled meeting of the
board of directors.
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP had audited the Company's financial
statements for the fiscal years ended January 31, 1999 and 2000 and delivered
auditors' reports thereon. Such reports did not contain an adverse opinion or
disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty,
audit scope or accounting principles. For the period February 1, 1998 through
January 3, 2001, the Company has not had any disagreements with
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP on any matters of accounting principles or practices,
financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which
disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of the auditors, would have
caused the auditors to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement
in connection with their auditors' reports.
