ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Allied Capital Mortgage Corporation (the Company) was incorporated in the state
of Maryland on August 10, 1995 and was organized as a closed-end,
non-diversified, management investment company that has elected to be regulated
as a business development company under Section 54 of the Investment Company
Act of 1940.

The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Form 10
registration statement registering 4,000,000 shares of the Company's common
stock ($0.0001 par value) and 150,000 units, consisting of one share of common
stock and one debt certificate, on August 23, 1995.  Amendments were filed on
September 5, 1995 and October 20, 1995 and the registration went effective on
October 23, 1995.  No shares of common stock had been sold to investors
pursuant to this registration statement as of September 30, 1996 or as of the 
filing of this report on Form 10-Q.

The Company is contemplating offering shares of its common stock directly to
investors in order to adequately capitalize the Company.  The proceeds from the
sale of stock will be invested in accordance with the Company's investment
objectives and policies.  The Company has recently been organized and currently
has no operations.  Once operations begin, its business will consist of
investing in small businesses through the purchase of non-performing loans or
other interests.  The Company is part of a group of funds managed by Allied
Capital Advisers, Inc., which specializes in making loans to, and investments
in, small businesses, as well as buying performing and sub-performing loans
from financial institutions and other third parties.

The Company will purchase non-performing loans from financial institutions and
other third parties.  It is expected that many of these loans will involve
first mortgages on real estate, as well as first liens of the operating assets
of small businesses.  Once a mortgage is purchased, the Company will contact
the small business concern that borrowed the funds secured by the mortgage.
The objective will be to place part of the non-performing mortgage on a
performing basis, and to reduce the remaining part of the loan to an equity
ownership in the business or an equity ownership in the real estate asset
underlying the mortgage.

The Company will enter into an Investment Advisory Agreement (the Agreement)
with Allied Capital Advisers, Inc. (the "Adviser") upon the closing of the sale
of shares to new shareholders pursuant to the registration statement.  The
Agreement would remain in effect for two years from its effective date and from
year to year thereafter, subject to annual approval by the Board of Directors
or by vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the
Company.  The Agreement can be terminated at any time on sixty days notice,
without the payment of penalty, by the Board of Directors or by vote of the
holders of a majority of the Company's outstanding shares and will terminate
automatically in the event of its assignment.  Under the Agreement, the Adviser
will manage the investments of the Company, subject to the supervision and
control of the Company's Board of Directors.  Specifically, the Adviser will
identify, evaluate, structure, close and follow the investments made by the
Company.  The Company will not make any investments that have not been
recommended by the Adviser.  Except as to those investment decisions that
require specific Board approval, the Adviser will have the authority to effect
purchases and sales of assets for the Company's account.
