Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.

On October 3, 2005, The Allied Defense Group, Inc. (the "Company") filed a Form 8-K to report that it was informed by Grant Thornton LLP ("Grant Thornton"), the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, that Grant Thornton has resigned as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. The Form 8-K reported that Grant Thornton will assist the Company in the completion of the Company’s Form 10-K/A for the period ended December 31, 2004 and the Company’s Form 10-Q/A for the period ended March 31, 2005.

The Company filed its Form 10-K/A for the period ended December 31, 2004 on October 5, 2005, and its Form 10-Q/A for the period ended March 31, 2005 on October 21, 2005.

The Company reaffirms the other statements set forth in its Form 8-K filed on October 3, 2005.

The Company has engaged BDO Seidman, LLP (BDO) as its independent registered public accounting firm as of October 27, 2005. Attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 is a press release announcing the engagement.

During the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 and through October 27, 2005, the Company has not consulted with BDO regarding the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's financial statements, nor did BDO provide advice to the Company, either written or oral, that was an important factor considered by the Company in making a decision as to an accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue.

During the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, and through October 27, 2005, the Company has not consulted with BDO about any matter that was the subject of a "disagreement" (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K) or a "reportable event" (as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

The Company has provided Grant Thornton with a copy of the disclosures made in this Form 8-K/A prior to the filing of this Form 8-K/A and has requested that Grant Thornton furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the above disclosures. A copy of that letter, dated October 31, 2005, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K/A.
