CAPITAL SOUTHWEST CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements ------------------------------------------ (Unaudited) 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 Article 6 of Regulation S-X. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2001. Certain information and footnotes normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted, although the Company believes 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. Summary of Per Share Information Three Months Ended June 30 ------- 2001 2000 ---- ---- Investment income $ .24 $ .15 Operating expenses (.05) (.07) Interest expense (.07) (.07) Income taxes (.01) (.01) -------- -------- Net investment income .11 - Net realized gain on investments - .38 Net increase (decrease) in unrealized appreciation of investments 4.01 (.38) Distributions from undistributed net investment income (.20) (.20) -------- -------- Net increase (decrease) in net asset value 3.92 (.20) Net asset value: Beginning of period 59.40 62.09 -------- -------- End of period $ 63.32 $ 61.89 ======== ======== Shares outstanding at end of period (000s omitted) 3,815 3,815 6

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. June 30, June 30, 2001 2000 ---- ---- Net assets $241,585,028 $236,117,442 Shares outstanding 3,815,051 3,815,051 Net assets per share $63.32 $61.89 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: Three Months Ended June 30 ------- 2001 2000 ---- ---- AT&T Corp. $ 4,997 $ 29,314 Alamo Group Inc. 169,278 169,278 Kimberly-Clark Corporation 21,610 20,839 The RectorSeal Corporation 240,000 - Skylawn Corporation 150,000 - TCI Holdings, Inc. 20,318 20,318 The Whitmore Manufacturing Company 60,000 - Other 39,676 48,587 ---------- ---------- $ 705,879 $ 288,336 ========== ========== 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. 7

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued) Set forth in the following table are the significant increases and decreases in unrealized appreciation (before the related changes in deferred taxes and excluding the effect of gains or losses realized during the periods) by portfolio company: Three Months Ended June 30 ------- 2001 2000 ---- ---- AT&T Corp. 93,271 (3,306,142) AT&T-Liberty Media Group 2,364,168 (3,577,582) Alamo Group Inc. - 1,410,000 Concert Industries Ltd. 1,430,000 - Encore Wire Corporation 4,086,000 (2,725,000) Mail-Well, Inc. (1,048,000) - Media Recovery, Inc. - 5,000,000 Mylan Laboratories, Inc. 292,492 (1,202,681) Organized Living, Inc. (2,500,000) - Palm Harbor Homes, Inc. 15,710,000 - PETsMART, Inc. 1,668,262 204,444 The RectorSeal Corporation 2,500,000 3,500,000 Skylawn Corporation - 3,000,000 During the quarter ended June 30, 2001, the Company made new 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. 8

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