1.       Basis of Presentation

         The accompanying  consolidated financial statements,  which include the
accounts of Capital  Southwest  Corporation and its wholly-owned  small business
investment company  subsidiary (the "Company"),  have been prepared on the value
basis in accordance with accounting  principles generally accepted in the United
States  of  America  for  investment  companies.  All  significant  intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

         The  financial   statements  included  herein  have  been  prepared  in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America for interim financial  information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and

conjunction  with  the  consolidated  financial  statements  and  notes  thereto

Item 2. Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations

         Net asset value at June 30, 2001 was $241,585,028, equivalent to $63.32
per share after deducting an allowance of $22.87 per share for deferred taxes on
net  unrealized  appreciation.  Assuming  reinvestment  of all  dividends,  this
represents an increase of 3.4% during the past twelve months and 6.9% during the
past three months.

         Interest  income in the three months ended June 30, 2001 decreased from
the  year-ago  period  primarily  because  of a decrease  in average  idle funds
invested.  During the three  months  ended June 30,  2001 and 2000,  the Company
recorded dividend income from the following sources:

         Interest expense in the three months ended June 30, 2001 increased from
the year-ago period due to increased  borrowings from the bank.  Other operating
expenses in the three  months  ended June 30, 2001  decreased  from the year-ago
period  primarily  due to legal  fees  incurred  in the prior  year  related  to
documentation of the exchange of an investment.

investments  of $26,000  and  additional  investments  of  $471,929  in existing
portfolio companies.

         On July 2, 2001,  the Company  repaid the  $60,000,000  note payable to
bank from its cash and cash equivalents.

         The Company has agreed, subject to certain conditions,  to invest up to
$3,686,874 in six portfolio companies.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

         The Company is subject to financial market risks,  including changes in
marketable equity security prices. The Company does not use derivative financial
instruments  to  mitigate  any of  these  risks.  The  return  on the  Company's
investments is not affected by foreign currency fluctuations.

         The Company's investment in portfolio securities consists of fixed rate
debt securities which totaled  $5,497,971 at June 30, 2001,  equivalent to 1.62%
of the value of the Company's  total  investments.  Since these debt  securities
usually have  relatively  high fixed rates of interest,  minor changes in market
yields of publicly-traded debt securities have little or no effect on the values
of debt securities in the Company's  portfolio and no effect on interest income.
On the other hand,  significant  changes in the market yields of publicly-traded
debt  securities may have a material  effect on the values of debt securities in
our portfolio.  The Company's  investments in debt securities are generally held
to maturity  and their fair values are  determined  on the basis of the terms of
the debt security and the financial condition of the issuer.

of Operations (continued)

         A portion of the Company's  investment  portfolio  consists of debt and
equity securities of private  companies.  The Company  anticipates  little or no
effect on the values of these  investments  from modest changes in public market
equity valuations. Should significant changes in market valuations of comparable
publicly-owned   companies  occur,  there  may  be  a  corresponding  effect  on
valuations of private companies, which would affect the value and the amount and
timing of proceeds eventually realized from these investments.  A portion of the
Company's  investment  portfolio  also consists of restricted  common stocks and
warrants to purchase common stocks of publicly-owned  companies. The fair values
of these restricted securities are influenced by the nature of applicable resale
restrictions, the underlying earnings and financial condition of the issuer, and
the market valuations of comparable  publicly-owned  companies. A portion of the
Company's investment portfolio also consists of unrestricted,  freely marketable
common stocks of publicly-owned  companies.  These freely marketable investments
are  directly  exposed to equity  price  risks,  in that a change in an issuer's
public market equity price would result in an identical change in the fair value
of the Company's investment in such security.
