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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Net asset value at December 31, 2001 was $248,646,889, equivalent to $64.94 per share after deducting an allowance of $23.64 per share for deferred taxes on net unrealized appreciation. Assuming reinvestment of all dividends, this represents an increase of 12.3% during the past twelve months. December 31 December 31 2001 2000 ---- ---- Net assets $248,646,889 $222,744,238 Shares outstanding 3,829,051 3,815,051 Net assets per share $64.94 $58.39 Interest income in the nine months ended December 31, 2001 decreased from the year-ago period primarily because of a decrease in average idle funds invested. During the nine months ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, the Company recorded dividend income from the following sources: Nine Months Ended December 31 2001 2000 ---- ---- AT&T Corp. $ 14,990 $ 63,624 Alamo Group Inc. 507,834 507,834 Dennis Tool Company 37,499 37,499 Kimberly-Clark Corporation 64,831 62,516 The RectorSeal Corporation 720,000 720,000 Skylawn Corporation 919,480 508,275 TCI Holdings, Inc. 60,953 60,953 Texas Shredder, Inc. 30,345 30,345 The Whitmore Manufacturing Company 180,000 180,000 Other 48,709 78,008 ---------- ---------- $2,584,641 $2,249,054 ========== ========== Interest expense related to the notes payable to portfolio companies during the three months ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 was $45,469 and $98,350, respectively and for the nine months ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 was $190,938 and $339,662, respectively. During the nine months ended December 31, 2001, the Company reported a realized gain before income taxes of $1,009,160 which included a gain of $2,152,594 on our investment in Mylan Laboratories, Inc., a loss of $813,117 on our investment in CyberSource Corporation and a loss of $396,589 on our investment in Photon Dynamics, Inc. It should be noted that a realized gain before income taxes occurs when an appreciated portfolio security is sold to realize a gain and a corresponding decrease in 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 unrealized appreciation occurs. 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 change in deferred taxes and excluding the effect of gains or losses realized during the periods) by portfolio company: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended December 31 December 31 ----------- ----------- 2001 2000 2001 2000 ---- ---- ---- ---- AT&T Corp. $ (154,565) $ (1,615,596) $ (421,045) $ (5,221,539) All Components, Inc. -- -- (1,750,000) 3,450,000 Concert Industries Ltd.

The Company has agreed, subject to certain conditions, to invest up to $3,395,946 in six portfolio companies. 8

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 $2,880,000 at December 31, 2001, equivalent to 0.8% 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. 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.
