THE ACCOMPANYING NOTES ARE AN INTEGRAL PART OF THESE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 5 6 ALLIED CAPITAL ADVISERS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 1997 (UNAUDITED) NOTE 1. GENERAL In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Allied Capital Advisers, Inc. and Subsidiary (the Company) contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position as of June 30, 1997 and the results of operations, and cash flows for the periods indicated. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's December 31, 1996 Annual Report. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full year. Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1996 financial statements in order to conform to the 1997 presentation. NOTE 2. INVESTMENT ADVISORY SERVICES The Company has investment advisory or management agreements to manage the assets of certain companies. The investment advisory or management agreements are generally annual agreements and remain in effect as long as they continue to be approved by the board of directors of the companies under management. These agreements may be terminated at any time on sixty days= notice, without penalty, by the managed companies= board of directors or by a vote of the holders of a majority of the managed companies= outstanding shares. In addition, these agreements will terminate automatically in the event of their assignment. The Company does not have an ownership interest in most of the companies it manages; however, certain officers and directors of the Company are also officers and directors of the companies managed, and therefore they may be considered affiliates. The Company manages the day-to-day activities of these companies pursuant to the investment advisory or management agreements and provides personnel, administrative services and assistance, facilities and other support. As set forth in the agreements, the Company pays certain operating expenses, including compensation of the companies= officers and other related personnel costs, office space, and equipment. The Company receives advisory and management fees as set forth in the various advisory or management agreements it has with the managed entities. At June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, the Company managed assets of approximately $848,000,000 and $764,000,000, respectively. Included in invested assets at June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, were approximately $44,000,000 and $53,000,000, respectively, in assets of a company that is co-managed by another investment manager. The Company pays one-third of its fees received from this company to the co-manager. The fees charged pursuant to these agreements generally approximate 2.5 percent on invested assets and 0.5 percent on interim investments and cash and cash equivalents on an annual basis. The Company receives payments of advisory and management fees quarterly in arrears. The Company from time to time will waive or adjust its advisory or management fees, given certain regulatory or economic circumstances. The Company believes that it is prudent to waive or adjust its fees when market conditions dictate such an adjustment, and such actions will enhance the Company's investment advisory and management performance overall. To enhance Allied Capital Commercial Corporation=s (Allied Commercial=s) competitiveness in the market place, the Company revised its management fee structure with Allied Commercial. The fee schedule was first revised on May 3, 1996 and that scheduled applied to all loans originated or purchased on or after January 1, 1996. Advisers and Allied Commercial modified the fees again in January 1997 for loans originated or purchased on or after January 1, 1997. The revised fee schedule tiers the management fee payable to Advisers, based upon certain characteristics of the outstanding loans held in Allied Commercial=s loan portfolio. The revised fee schedule is based upon credit quality and other factors associated with the loans, and fees range from approximately 0.5 percent per annum to 3.5 percent per annum. The revised fee schedule places a quarterly cap, at a rate of approximately 2.5 percent per annum, on the total management fees payable to Advisers with 6 7 respect to Allied Commercial=s portfolio. The new fee schedule does not alter the fees charged on cash, temporary investments or other assets. For the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, investment advisory and management fees as a percent of total average assets under management were 2.0% and 2.2%, respectively. NOTE 3. DEFERRED COMPENSATION TRUST During 1997, the Trust has purchased various securities, including 18,390 shares of the Company's common stock, which has been accounted for as treasury stock. The other investments made by the Trust included money market funds, mutual funds, and common stock of certain companies that are under management of the Company. NOTE 4. REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT AGREEMENT The Company did not renew its revolving line of credit agreement that expired on May 31, 1997. NOTE 5. NET INCOME PER SHARE In March 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.128, AEarnings per Share@ (SFAS 128). SFAS 128 is effective for financial statements for both interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 1997. SFAS 128 modifies the method of calculation of net income per share and also requires a reconciliation between basic and diluted per share amounts. Early adoption of the statement prior to the end of 1997 is not allowed. The following table (in thousands except per share data) presents the effect of SFAS 128 on the Company's net income per share as if adopted for current period disclosure:

NOTE 6. CONTINGENCIES The Company is party to certain lawsuits. While the outcome of these legal proceedings cannot at this time be predicted with certainty, management does not expect that these actions will have a material effect upon the financial condition of the Company. NOTE 7. SUBSEQUENT EVENT On August 14, 1997, the Company announced that it has entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Allied Capital Corporation, Allied Capital Corporation II, Allied Capital Commercial Corporation and Allied Capital Lending Corporation, pursuant to which the Company and Allied Capital Corporation, Allied Capital Corporation II, and Allied Capital Commercial Corporation would merge with and into Allied Capital Lending Corporation through a stock for stock exchange. The merger is subject to the approval by at least two-thirds of the stockholders of each of the merging companies, as well as subject to certain regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. If all required approvals are obtained, the Company anticipates the merger would be effective on December 31, 1997. Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, stockholders of the Company at the effective time of the merger will receive 0.31 shares of the merged entity. 7 8 Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this report. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES At June 30, 1997, Allied Capital Advisers, Inc. and its subsidiary had $4.6 million in cash and cash equivalents. Current assets were $10.0 million compared to current liabilities of $2.0 million. The Company is a service company and does not have a significant budget for capital expenditures. Capital expenditures during the first two quarters of 1997 were $224,000 and have been largely due to the purchase of computer equipment. Capital resources available at June 30, 1997 appear adequate to satisfy future operating needs. There are no known demands or uncertainties that might cause the Company to have an increased or decreased demand for liquidity. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS For the Three Months Ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 Net income decreased 8% to $725,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997 from $788,000 for the comparable period in 1996. Investment advisory and management fee revenue increased to $4.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 compared to $3.9 million for the comparable period in 1996, an increase of 2%. During the second quarter, investment advisory fees increased at a slower pace than has been experienced previously due to a number of factors. Total assets under management increased to approximately $848 million as of June 30, 1997 from approximately $764 million at December 31, 1996. This represents an 11% increase in managed assets. The investment advisory and management fee percentage pursuant to investment advisory agreements, however, decreased as a percent of total assets under management. For the second quarter of 1997 and 1996, investment advisory and management fees as a percent of total average assets under management were 1.9% and 2.2%, respectively. A significant portion of the increase in assets under management is attributable to the loan portfolio of Allied Commercial, and the new loans originated have a reduced advisory fee percentage. The Company believes that its decision to reduce its fees to Allied Commercial remains appropriate given the competitive nature of the commercial real estate finance market. Also, the Company agreed with its co-manager to reduce its management fees charged on the portfolio of Business Mortgage Investors, Inc. (BMI). BMI is currently in liquidation, and is no longer originating new loans. BMI's total assets were $44 million at June 30, 1997, and the net fee to the Company on these loans was $120,000, which is approximately 1% of average quarterly assets. Rental and other income includes rental income generated from the office building in Northern Virginia, interest earned on cash and temporary investments and earnings from the assets of the deferred compensation trust (realized and unrealized earnings). Rental and other income increased 45% to $422,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997 from $292,000 for the same period in 1996. For the three months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, the office building generated rental income of $227,000 and $224,000, respectively. Interest income from cash and temporary investments was $88,000 and $69,000 for the second quarter ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Earnings from the assets held in the deferred compensation trust equaled $107,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1997. The first half of 1996 did not have earnings from the deferred compensation trust because it was not established until December 1996. Earnings in the deferred compensation trust include interest and dividend income and unrealized appreciation or depreciation on equity securities. Total expenses increased 11% to $3.1 million as compared to $2.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Salary and employee benefit expenses grew due to the $107,000 in expenses associated with the deferred compensation trust assets discussed in the paragraph above. General and administrative expenses increased $194,000 to $823,000, or 31% for the three months ended June 30, 1997, as compared to the same period in 1996. The increase in general and administrative expenses is due to an increase in recruitment fees and the Company's use of investment consultants while management continues to recruit for permanent investment professionals. Pre-tax income for the three months ended June 30, 1997 decreased 7% or $97,000 over the same period in 1996. The effective tax rate was 42% for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 and 1996. 8 9 For the Six Months Ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 Net income for the six months ended June 30, 1997 decreased 1.5% as compared to the six months ended June 30, 1996. As was discussed above, the growth in assets under management did not significantly increase investment advisory fee revenue due to a reduction in the overall fee percentage charged on invested assets managed. Total revenue was $8.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and $8.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996, which is a 4% increase. The increase during the first half of the year was caused by the same factors discussed in the quarter-to-quarter comparison above. Rental and other income increased 30% to $754,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 from $580,000 for the same period in 1996. For the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, the office building generated rental income of $463,000 and $446,000, respectively. Interest income from cash and temporary investments was $170,000 and $134,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. In addition, earnings from the assets held in the deferred compensation trust equaled $121,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997. The first half of 1996 did not have earnings from the deferred compensation trust because it was not established until December 1996. Total expenses were $6.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997, an increase of 7% compared to the same period in 1996. The increase in expenses during the first half of 1997 are attributable to the factors discussed in the quarter-to-quarter comparison above. Pre-tax income for the six months ended June 30, 1997 decreased by 1% or $35,000 over 1996. The effective tax rate was 41.5% for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996. Statements included in this report concerning the Company's future prospect are "forward looking statements" under the Federal securities laws. There can be no assurance that future results will be achieved and actual results could differ materially from forecasts and estimates. 9 10 Part II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 1.

ARTICLE VII INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS Section 1. Generally. Reference is made to Section 2-418 (and any other relevant provisions) of the Corporations and Associations Article of the Annotated Code of Maryland (1993), as amended. Particular reference is made to the class of persons (hereinafter called "Indemnitees") who may be indemnified by a Maryland corporation pursuant to the provisions of such Section 2-418, namely, any person (or the heirs, executors or administrators of such person) who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such corporation, or is or was 12 16 serving at the request of such corporation as a director, manager, partner, officer, trustee, employee, agent or similar title of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise or employee benefit plan. (a) The Corporation shall (and is hereby obligated to) indemnify the Indemnitees, and each of them, in each and every situation where the Corporation is obligated to make such indemnification pursuant to the aforesaid statutory provisions. (b) The Corporation shall indemnify the Indemnitees, and each of them, in each and every situation where, under the aforesaid statutory provisions, the Corporation is not obligated, but is nevertheless permitted or empowered, to make such indemnification, if the Board of Directors determines that such Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner such Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, in the case of any criminal action or proceeding, that such Indemnitee had no reasonable cause to believe that such Indemnitee's conduct was unlawful. Section 2. Limitation for Disabling Conduct. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 1 hereof, the Corporation may not limit any liability, or indemnify any director or officer of the Corporation against any liability, to the Corporation or its stockholders to which such director or officer might otherwise be subject by reason of "disabling conduct," as hereinafter defined. Accordingly, each determination required by Section 1(b) hereof with respect to a director or officer of the Corporation shall include a determination that the liability for which such indemnification is sought did not arise by reason of such person's disabling conduct. Such determination may be based on: (i) a final decision on the merits by a court or other body before whom the action, suit or proceeding was brought that the person to be indemnified was not liable by reason of disabling conduct, or (ii) in the absence of such a decision, a reasonable determination, based on a review of the facts, that the person to be indemnified was not liable by reason of such person's disabling conduct by: (A) the vote of a majority of a quorum of directors who are disinterested, non-party directors; or (B) an independent legal counsel in a written opinion. In making such determination, such disinterested, non-party directors or independent legal counsel, as the case may be, may deem the dismissal for insufficiency of evidence of any disabling conduct of either a court action or an administrative proceeding against a person to be indemnified to provide reasonable assurance that such person was not liable by reason of disabling conduct. (b) For the purpose of this Section: 13 17 (i) "disabling conduct" of a director or officer shall mean such person's willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of the office or any other conduct prohibited under Section 17(h) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), or any other applicable securities laws; (ii) "disinterested, non-party director" shall mean a director of the Corporation who is neither an "interested person" of the Corporation as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act nor a party to the action, suit or proceeding in connection with which indemnification is sought; (iii) "independent legal counsel" shall mean a member of the Bar of the State of Maryland who is not, and not at least two (2) years prior to his or her engagement to render the opinion in question has not been, employed or retained by the Corporation, by any investment adviser to the principal underwriter for the Corporation, or by any person affiliated with any of the foregoing; and (iv) "the Corporation" shall include, in addition to the resulting Corporation, any constituent Corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, employees or agents. (c) The Corporation may purchase insurance to cover the payment of costs incurred in performing the Corporation's obligations under Section 1 hereof, but it is understood that no insurance may be obtained for the purpose of indemnifying any disabling conduct, as defined in Section 2(b) hereof. (d) The Corporation may advance legal fees and other expenses pursuant to the indemnification rights set forth in Section 1 hereof so long as, in addition to the other requirements therefor, the Corporation either: (i) obtains security for the advance from the Indemnitee; (ii) obtains insurance against losses arising by reason of lawful advances; or (iii) it shall be determined, pursuant to the means set forth in Section 2 (a)(ii) hereof, that there is reason to believe that the Indemnitee ultimately will be found entitled to indemnification. 14 18 ARTICLE VIII STOCK CERTIFICATES Section 1. Form of Signatures; Statements. (a) Every stockholder in the Corporation shall be entitled to have a certificate, signed by the Chairman of the Board or the President or a Vice President and countersigned by the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer or the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Corporation, exhibiting the number and class (and series, if any) of shares owned by him, her or it, and bearing the seal of the Corporation. Such signatures and seal may be facsimile transmission. In case any officer who has signed, or whose facsimile signature was placed on, a certificate shall have ceased to be such officer before such certificate is issued, it may nevertheless be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if he or she were such officer at the date of its issue. (b) Every certificate representing stock issued by the Corporation, if it is authorized to issue stock of more than one class, shall set forth upon the face or back of the certificate, a full statement or summary of the designations and any preferences, conversion and other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends, qualifications, and terms and conditions of redemptions of the stock of each class which the Corporation is authorized to issue and, if the Corporation is authorized to issue any preferred or special class of stock in series, the differences in the relative rights and preferences between the shares of each series to the extent they have been set and the authority of the Board of Directors to set the relative rights and preferences of subsequent series. In lieu of such full statement or summary, there may be set forth upon the face or back of each certificate a statement that the Corporation will furnish to the stockholder, upon request and without charge, a full statement of such information. (c) Every certificate representing shares which are restricted as to transferability by the Corporation shall either (i) set forth on the face or back of the certificate a full statement of such restriction or (ii) state that the Corporation will furnish to the stockholder, upon request and without charge, information about the restriction. Section 2. Registration of Transfer. Upon surrender to the Corporation or any transfer agent of the Corporation of a certificate for shares duly endorsed or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignment or authority to transfer, it shall be the duty of the Corporation or its transfer agent to issue a new certificate to the person entitled thereto, to cancel the old certificate and to record the transaction upon its books. Section 3. Registered Stockholders. (a) Except as otherwise provided by law, the Corporation shall be entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a person who is registered on its books as the owner of shares of 15 19 its capital stock to receive dividends or other distributions, to vote as such owner, and to hold liable for calls and assessments a person who is registered on its books as the owner of shares of its capital stock. The Corporation shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or legal claim to or interest in such shares on the part of any other person except that the Board of Directors may adopt by resolution a procedure by which a stockholder may certify in writing to the Corporation that any shares of its capital stock registered in the name of such stockholder are held for the account of a specified person other than such stockholder are held for the account of a specified person other than such stockholder. (b) If a stockholder desires that notices and/or dividends shall be sent to a name or address other than the name or address appearing on the stock ledger maintained by the Corporation (or by the transfer agent or registrar, if any), such stockholder shall have the duty to notify the Corporation (or the transfer agent or registrar, if any), in writing, of such desire. Such written notice shall specify the alternate name or address to be used. Section 4. Location of Stock Ledger. A copy of the Corporation's stock ledger containing (i) the name and address of each stockholder, and (ii) the number and shares of stock of each class which the stockholder holds shall be maintained at the Corporation's office located at 1666 K Street, N.W., Washington, DC 20006-2803. Section 5. Record Date. In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders of record who are entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or the allotment of any rights, or to make a determination with respect to stockholders of record for any other proper purpose, the Board of Directors may, in advance, fix a date as the record date for any such determination or meeting. Such date shall not be more than 90 nor less than 10 days before the date of any such meeting, nor more than 90 days prior to the date any other determination is made with respect to stockholders. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting taken pursuant to Section 8 of Article III; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting. Section 6. Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. The Board of Directors may direct that a new certificate be issued in place of any certificate theretofore issued by the Corporation which is claimed to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming the certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed. When authorizing such issuance of a new certificate, the Board of Directors may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate to advertise the same in such manner as it shall require and/or to give the Corporation a bond in such sum or other security in such form, as it may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Corporation with respect to the certificate claimed to have been lost, stolen or destroyed. 16 20 ARTICLE IX GENERAL PROVISIONS Section 1. Dividends. Except as otherwise provided by law or the Articles of Incorporation, dividends upon the outstanding capital stock of the Corporation may be declared by the Board of Directors at any annual, regular or special meeting, and may be paid in cash, in property or in shares of the Corporation's capital stock. Section 2. Reserves. The Board of Directors shall have full power, subject to the provisions of law and the Articles of Incorporation, to determine whether any, and, if so, what part, of the funds legally available for the payment of dividends shall be declared as dividends and paid to the stockholders of the Corporation. The Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, may fix a sum which may be set aside or reserved over and above the paid-in capital of the Corporation for working capital or as a reserve for any proper purpose, and may, from time to time, increase, diminish or vary such fund or funds.
