                                   (Unaudited)

1.       Basis of Presentation

         The accompanying  consolidated financial statements,  which include our
accounts and the accounts of our wholly-owned small business  investment company
subsidiary and our wholly-owned  management  company,  have been prepared on the
value method of accounting in accordance  with accounting  principles  generally
accepted  in  the  United  States  for  investment  companies.  All  significant
intercompany  accounts and transactions  have been eliminated in  consolidation.
Certain  reclassifications  have been made to the 2003  balances to conform with
the 2004 financial statement presentation.

         The  financial   statements  included  herein  have  been  prepared  in
accordance with accounting  principles  generally  accepted in the United States
for interim financial  information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article
6 of Regulation S-X. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the consolidated  financial  statements and notes thereto included in our annual
report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2004.  Certain  information and
footnotes normally included in financial  statements prepared in accordance with
accounting  principles  generally  accepted  in  the  United  States  have  been
condensed or omitted,  although we believe that the disclosures are adequate for
a fair  presentation.  The information  reflects all adjustments  (consisting of
normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary
for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods.

2.       Indemnification

         We  enter  into  agreements  that  contain  customary   indemnification
provisions.  The maximum  exposure  under these  indemnification  agreements  is
unknown,  but we have had no  previous  claims or losses  and expect the risk of
losses to be remote.

3.       Stock-Based Compensation

         Effective  April 1, 2003, we adopted the fair value method of recording
compensation  expense related to all stock options granted after March 31, 2003,
in accordance with FASB Statement Nos. 123 and 148. Accordingly,  the fair value
of stock  options as  determined  on the date of grant  using the  Black-Scholes
pricing  model will be  expensed  over the vesting  period of the related  stock
options. No stock options have been granted since March 31, 2003.

         The following  table  illustrates the effect on net asset value and net
asset value per share if we had applied the fair value recognition provisions of
FASB Statement No. 123 to stock-based compensation.

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

         Net asset value at June 30, 2004 was $286,393,211, equivalent to $74.25
per share after deducting an allowance of $27.45 per share for deferred taxes on
net unrealized appreciation of investments.  Assuming reinvestment of dividends,
the June 30, 2004 net asset value  reflects an increase of 33.5% during the past
twelve months.

Results of Operations

         The composite measure of our financial  performance in the Consolidated
Statements of Operations  is captioned  "Increase  (decrease) in net assets from
operations"  and  consists  of three  elements.  The  first  is "Net  investment
income", which is the difference between our income from interest, dividends and
fees and our combined operating and interest expenses,  net of applicable income
taxes. The second element is "Net realized gain (loss) on investments", which is
the  difference  between the proceeds  received  from  disposition  of portfolio
securities  and their stated cost,  net of  applicable  income tax expense.  The
third element is the "Net increase  (decrease)  in  unrealized  appreciation  of
investments",  which  is the net  change  in the  market  or fair  value  of our

investment portfolio,  compared with stated cost, net of an increase or decrease
in  deferred   income  taxes  which  would  become  payable  if  the  unrealized
appreciation  were  realized  through  the  sale  or  other  disposition  of the
investment  portfolio.  It should be noted that the "Net realized gain (loss) on
investments"  and  "Net  increase  (decrease)  in  unrealized   appreciation  of
investments" are directly related in that when an appreciated portfolio security
is  sold  to  realize  a  gain,  a  corresponding  decrease  in  net  unrealized
appreciation  occurs by  transferring  the gain  associated with the transaction
from being "unrealized" to being "realized". Conversely, when a loss is realized
on a depreciated portfolio security, an increase in net unrealized  appreciation
occurs.

Net Investment Income

         Interest  income in the three months ended June 30, 2004 increased from
the  year-ago  period  primarily  because of an increase  in loans to  portfolio
companies.  During the three  months  ended June 30, 2004 and 2003,  we recorded
dividend income from the following sources:

         Interest expense in the three months ended June 30, 2004 decreased from
the  corresponding  period  ended June 30, 2003  primarily  due to a decrease in

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

         As  reflected in the above  table,  at June 30, 2004,  the value of our
investment in Encore Wire  Corporation  was decreased by $10,898,000  due to the
cyclical  nature of Encore's  profit  margins and the  probable  effect of lower
copper prices on Encore's earnings in its second quarter ended June 30, 2004. In
the same period a year ago, we increased our value by  $2,724,000  reflecting an
increase in Encore's  sales and earnings which stemmed partly from higher copper
prices.

Portfolio Investments

         During the quarter ended June 30, 2004, we made additional  investments
of $402,325 in existing portfolio companies.

         We  have  agreed,  subject  to  certain  conditions,  to  invest  up to
$2,300,025 in six portfolio companies.

Financial Liquidity and Capital Resources

         At June 30, 2004,  we had cash and cash  equivalents  of  approximately
$2.4 million. Pursuant to Small Business Administration (SBA) regulations,  cash
and cash equivalents of $42,502 held by Capital  Southwest  Venture  Corporation
(CSVC) may not be  transferred or advanced to us without the consent of the SBA.
Under  current  SBA  regulations  and  subject to SBA's  approval  of its credit
application,  CSVC would be entitled to borrow up to $64.5 million. We also have
an unsecured $25.0 million  revolving line of credit from a commercial  bank, of
which $17.0  million was  available  at June 30, 2004.  With the  exception of a
capital gain  distribution  made in the form of a distribution of the stock of a
portfolio  company in the fiscal year ended March 31,  1996,  we have elected to
retain all gains realized during the past 36 years. Retention of future gains is
viewed as an  important  source of funds to  sustain  our  investment  activity.
Approximately  $48.5  million of our  investment  portfolio  is  represented  by
unrestricted  publicly-traded  securities,  which have an  ascertainable  market
value and represent a source of liquidity.

         Funds to be used by us for  operating  or  investment  purposes  may be
transferred  in the form of  dividends,  management  fees or loans from  Skylawn
Corporation,  The RectorSeal Corporation and The Whitmore Manufacturing Company,
wholly-owned portfolio companies, to the extent of their available cash reserves
and  borrowing  capacities.  At June 30,  2004,  we owed  $5,000,000  to Skylawn
Corporation.

         Management  believes  that  our  cash  and  cash  equivalents  and cash
available from other sources  described  above are adequate to meet our expected
requirements.  Consistent  with  our  long-term  strategy,  the  disposition  of
investments  from  time to time may also be an  important  source  of funds  for
future investment activities.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

         We  are  subject  to  financial  market  risks,  including  changes  in
marketable  equity  security  prices.   We  do  not  use  derivative   financial
instruments to mitigate any of these risks. The return on our investments is not
materially affected by foreign currency fluctuations.

         Our  investment  in  portfolio  securities  consists of fixed rate debt
securities which totaled $5,129,493 at June 30, 2004, equivalent to 1.28% of the
value of our  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 our portfolio and no effect on interest income. Our 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.

                                       10



Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
         (continued)

         A portion  of our  investment  portfolio  consists  of debt and  equity
securities of private companies. We anticipate 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  our  investment
portfolio also consists of restricted common stock 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  issuers  of such  restricted  securities  and the market  valuations  of
comparable  publicly-owned companies. A portion of our investment portfolio also
consists of  unrestricted,  freely  marketable  common stocks of  publicly-owned
companies.  These freely marketable investments,  which are valued at the public
market price, 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 our investment in such security.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

         As of June 30, 2004, an evaluation was performed  under the supervision
and with the  participation  of our  management,  including  the  President  and
Chairman  of the  Board and  Secretary-Treasurer,  of the  effectiveness  of the
design and operation of our disclosure  controls and  procedures.  Based on that
evaluation,  our  management,  including the President and Chairman of the Board
and  Secretary-Treasurer  concluded that our disclosure  controls and procedures
were  effective  as of June 30,  2004.  There have been no  significant  changes
during the quarter covered by this report in our internal control over financial
reporting or in other factors that could  significantly  affect internal control
over financial reporting.
