                                  INTRODUCTION

         This Amendment No. 2 to the Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement on
Schedule 13E-3 (the "Schedule 13E-3") is being filed by: (1) BLC Financial
Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation and the issuer of the equity securities
which are the subject of the transaction, which has subsequently changed its
name to Business Loan Express, Inc. ("BLC"), (2) Allied Capital Corporation, a
Maryland corporation ("Allied Capital"), (3) Futuronics Corporation, a New York
corporation ("Futuronics"), (4) Robert F. Tannenhauser, (5) Jennifer M.
Goldstein, (6) Richard Blanck and (7) Peter Blanck (collectively, the "Filing
Persons").

         This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13E-3 is the final amendment to the
Schedule 13E-3 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") by the Filing Persons relating to the merger of Allied Capital B
Sub Corporation, a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Allied
Capital ("Merger Sub"), with and into BLC with BLC surviving as an independently
managed, private portfolio company of Allied Capital (the merger), upon the
terms and subject to the conditions of the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as
of October 31, 2000, among Allied Capital, Merger Sub and BLC.

         A special meeting of BLC shareholders was held on December 31, 2000,
and both the merger agreement and the merger were approved. A certificate of
merger was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, and the
merger was consummated and effective on December 31, 2000. Pursuant to the terms
of the merger agreement, each share of BLC common stock other than Class B
common stock was converted into 0.180 shares of Allied Capital common stock at
the effective time of the merger.

          Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, certain BLC
shareholders continued to own 5.1% of BLC stock after the merger. In addition,
Robert Tannenhauser continued as Chief Executive Officer of BLC, and Jennifer
Goldstein continued as Chief Financial Officer of BLC.

         In connection with the merger, Allied Capital acquired Futuronics, a
corporate shareholder of BLC, for $9.1 million in cash pursuant to an Agreement
and Plan of Merger dated as of October 31, 2000. A special meeting of Futuronics
shareholders was held on December 29, 2000 where the Futuronics merger agreement
and the merger were approved. A certificate of merger was filed with the
Secretary of State of the State of New York, and the merger was consummated and
effective December 31, 2000.

         Subsequent to the BLC merger, Allied Capital merged its Allied Capital
Express small business lending operations into a subsidiary of BLC, and BLC
changed its name to Business Loan Express, Inc.

         By filing this Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13E-3, none of the Filing
Persons concedes that Rule 13e-3 is applicable to the merger or the other
transactions contemplated by the merger agreement.
