Item #4 - Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant Effective November 7, 1997, Adage, Inc. (the "Company") dismissed MacDade Abbott LLP ("MacDade") as its certifying accountants. MacDade's reports on the Company's financial statements for the two most recent fiscal years contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion. Nor were the opinions qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. The decision to change certifying accountants was approved by the Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors. During the two most recent fiscal years and all subsequent interim periods, there were no disagreements between the Company and MacDade on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of MacDade, would have caused MacDade to make reference to the subject matters of disagreement in connection with MacDade's report. None of the reportable events described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K occurred with respect to the Company within the two most recent fiscal years and any subsequent interim period to the date hereof. Effective November 13, 1997, the Company engaged Ernst & Young LLP as its certifying accountants. During the two most recent fiscal years and all subsequent interim periods preceding the date hereof, the Company has not consulted Ernst & Young LLP regarding any matters or events as set forth in Item 304(a)(2) of Regulation S-K. The Company has requested MacDade to furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities & Exchange Commission stating whether MacDade agrees with the statements made by the Company in this Item 4. SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized Adage, Inc.
