For the three months ended September 30, 2007, net investment income was $18.3 million or $0.12 per share compared to net investment income of $25.2 million or $0.16 per share for the three months ended June 30, 2007, and $48.7 million or $0.33 per share for the three months ended September 30, 2006. Net investment income was reduced in the third quarter by stock option expense of $18.3 million or $0.12 per share, which included a one-time charge of $14.4 million or $0.09 per share resulting from a FASB 123R expense related to the cancellation of stock options in conjunction with a tender offer that was completed in the third quarter. Stock option expense for the second quarter of 2007 was $9.5 million or $0.06 per share and was $3.6 million or $0.02 per share for the third quarter of 2006. Net investment income for the third quarter of 2007 was also reduced by income and excise taxes which were $11.2 million or $0.07 per share, as compared to $5.5 million or $0.04 per share in the second quarter of 2007 and $1.6 million or $0.01 per share in the third quarter of 2006.

For the three months ended September 30, 2007, the company had net realized gains of $212.4 million, including a $259.5 million gain from the sale of its investment in Mercury Air Centers, Inc., a $24.8 million loss from the sale of Jakel, Inc. and $20.2 million loss from the sale of its investment in Startec Global Communications Inc. For the three months ended September 30, 2006, the company had net realized gains of $9.9 million.

For the three months ended September 30, 2007, the sum of net investment and net realized gains was $230.7 million or $1.49 per share, as compared to $58.6 million or $0.40 per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2006.

For the three months ended September 30, 2007, net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation was a decrease of $327.2 million or $2.11 per share. The net depreciation for the quarter resulted from net declines in investment values of $149.1 million or $0.96 per share and the reversal of net unrealized appreciation associated with net realized gains of $178.1 million or $1.15 per share. For the three months ended September 30, 2006, net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation was an increase of $19.3 million or $0.13 per share.

The net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation led to a third quarter 2007 net loss of $96.5 million or $0.62 per share, as compared to net income of $77.9 million or $0.53 per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2006. Net income (loss) can vary substantially from quarter to quarter due to the recognition of realized gains and losses and unrealized appreciation and depreciation. As a result, quarterly comparisons of net income may not be meaningful.

At December 31, 2006, the company had excess taxable income of $402.8 million available for distribution to shareholders in 2007. For the first three quarters of 2007, the company paid dividends of $293.7 million. The remainder of 2006’s taxable income will be distributed in the fourth quarter of 2007. The company’s Board of Directors previously declared a $0.65 per share dividend for the fourth quarter of 2007 and an extra cash dividend of $0.07 per share. The company expects that substantially all of the 2007 dividend payments will be made from excess 2006 taxable earnings. As a result, substantially all of the taxable income generated from 2007 net investment income and net realized gains will be available for distribution in 2008.

In addition to spillover taxable income, the company had $221.9 million in deferred taxable income resulting from installment sale gains as of December 31, 2006. These gains may be deferred for tax purposes until the notes or other amounts received from the sale of the related investments are sold or collected in cash. The company believes that the performance of the portfolio and related net realized gains has provided additional visibility for future dividend payments for shareholders.

Portfolio and Investment Activity

New investments totaled $577.5 million for the third quarter of 2007. These investments included:

• $94.1 million to support the management-led recapitalization of Higginbotham Insurance Agency, Inc., a middle market insurance brokerage and risk management firm;

• $82.2 million to support the recapitalization of Woodstream Corporation, a marketer and manufacturer of branded natural solution products for pest control;

At September 30, 2007, the company had cash and money market and other securities totaling $305.9 million, including the liquidity portfolio of $200.7 million.

At September 30, 2007, the company had a weighted average cost of debt of 6.6% and its regulatory asset coverage was 244%. The company is required to maintain regulatory asset coverage of at least 200%.

Quarterly Dividend of $0.65 Per Share To Be Paid for the Fourth Quarter of 2007 and Extra Dividend of $0.07 To Be Paid for 2007

As previously released, the company declared a fourth quarter dividend of $0.65 per share and an extra dividend of $0.07 per share. The fourth quarter dividend represents the 177^th consecutive quarterly dividend for Allied Capital shareholders since 1963. In accordance with regulated investment company distribution rules, the company declared the fourth quarter dividend during the third quarter because it is expected to be paid primarily from 2006 taxable income.

The dividends are payable as follows:

Fourth Quarter Dividend		Extra Dividend
Record date:	December 14, 2007	Record date:	December 14, 2007
Payable date:	December 26, 2007	Payable date:	December 27, 2007

The company’s dividend is paid from taxable income. It is estimated that 30% of the distributions made for 2007 will be generated from ordinary taxable income and 70% will be generated from taxable net long-term capital gains. This allocation is only an estimate and should not be relied upon for tax reporting purposes. The Board determines the dividend based on estimates of annual taxable income, which differs from book income due to changes in unrealized appreciation and depreciation and due to temporary and permanent differences in income and expense recognition, and the amount of taxable income carried over from the prior year for distribution in the current year.
