Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
------------------------------------------
(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. On July 19, 2004, 7,500 stock options were granted to a new investment
associate.
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 September 30, 2004 was $281,819,007 equivalent to
$73.07 per share after deducting an allowance of $27.13 per share for deferred
taxes on unrealized appreciation of investments. Assuming reinvestment of
dividends, the September 30, 2004 net asset value reflects an increase of 22.9%
during the twelve months ended September 30, 2004 and a 2.8% decrease during the
first half of the current fiscal year.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
(continued)
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 of $187,942 in the six months ended September 30, 2004
increased from $80,669 in the year-ago period primarily because of an increase
in loans to portfolio companies. During the six months ended September 30, 2004
and 2003, we recorded dividend income from the following sources:

========== ==========
Operating expenses totaled $762,597 in the six months ended September
30, 2004 versus $655,244 in the six months ended September 30, 2003. The
increase was due mainly to the addition of an investment associate in July 2004,
employee raises and an increase in audit and legal fees for ordinary business
operations.
Interest expense of $201,869 in the six months ended September 30, 2004
decreased from $275,554 in the corresponding period ended September 30, 2003
primarily due to a decrease in notes payable.
Net Realized Gain or Loss on Investments
During the six months ended September 30, 2004, we reported a realized
loss before income taxes of $6,321,599 which included a loss of $3,000,000 on
our investment in Texas Petrochemical Holdings, Inc., a $2,576,146 loss on the
partial sale of our investment in Concert Industries Ltd. and a loss of
$1,346,891 on our sale of VocalData, Inc. to Tekelec.

As reflected in the above table, at September 30, 2004, the value of
our investment in Encore Wire Corporation was decreased from our March 31, 2004
value by $19,071,000 due to the cyclical variations in Encore's profitability
and the effect of copper price fluctuations on Encore's earnings. In the same
period a year ago, we increased our value of Encore by $8,173,000 reflecting
increases in the company's sales and earnings which stemmed partly from higher
copper prices.
During the six months ended September 30, 2004, the value of our
investment in Palm Harbor Homes, Inc. was reduced by $7,855,000 due to the
unfavorable pattern of the company's earnings and the continuing negative
outlook for the manufactured housing industry.
During the six months ended September 30, 2004, our unrealized
appreciation of investments before income taxes decreased by $7,472,675, which
included value decreases of $33,655,603 and value increases of $19,104,017, plus
the $7,078,911 effect of net realized losses during the period.
Portfolio Investments
During the quarter ended September 30, 2004, we made additional
investments of $545,078 in existing portfolio companies.
We have agreed, subject to certain conditions, to invest up to
$1,940,025 in six portfolio companies.
Financial Liquidity and Capital Resources
At September 30, 2004, we had cash and cash equivalents of
approximately $2.5 million. Pursuant to Small Business Administration ("SBA")
regulations, cash and cash equivalents of $285,129 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 September 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
10
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
(continued)
our investment activity. Approximately $49.1 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 September 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 $5,101,493 at September 30, 2004, equivalent to 1.3% 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.
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 September 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 September 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.
