Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
Net asset value at December 31, 2002 was $206,544,322, equivalent to
$53.94 per share after deducting an allowance of $17.97 per share for deferred
taxes on net unrealized appreciation of investments. Assuming reinvestment of
all dividends, the December 31, 2002 net asset value reflects an increase of
2.2% during the preceding three months and decreases of 16.7% during the nine
months of the current fiscal year and 16.1% during the past twelve months.

Results of Operations
The composite measure of the Company's 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 the Company's income from
interest, dividends and fees and its 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 incease (decrease) in
unrealized appreciation of investments", which is the net change in the market
or fair value of the Company's 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 nine months ended December 31, 2002 decreased
from the year-ago period primarily because of a decrease in loans to portfolio
companies. During the nine months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Company
recorded dividend income from the following sources:

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations (continued)
Interest expense in the nine months ended December 31, 2002 decreased
from the year-ago period primarily due to a decrease in interest rates and the
payoff of the subordinated debenture on June 3, 2002.
Net Increase (Decrease) in Unrealized Appreciation of Investments
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)

As shown in the above table, for the nine months ended December 31,
2002, we sustained a major $39,275,000 decrease in the value of our investment
in Palm Harbor Homes, Inc. This 35.7% decrease in value reflects Palm Harbor's
vulnerability to the unfavorable condition of the manufactured housing industry
as the availability of floor plan financing for retailers has declined and
lenders have withdrawn from manufactured housing mortgage financing for retail
purchasers. The hostile industry climate has created intense price competition
and reduced sales volume. We also experienced a significant decline in the value
of our investment in Encore Wire Corporation, which was reduced during the nine
months by $10,898,000, equivalent to 44.4%, as overcapacity in the electric wire
and cable industry led to intense price competition and lower profit margins.
Another large decline was in the value of our investment in Concert Industries
Ltd., which decreased by $5,364,000 - an 83.9% decline during the nine months -
as the company experienced continuing losses attributable to production problems
in its new Canadian manufacturing facility and to increased competition in the
air-laid nonwoven fabrics market.
Portfolio Investments
During the quarter ended December 31, 2002, the Company made additional
investments of $317,659 in existing portfolio companies.
The Company has commitments, subject to certain conditions, to invest
up to $10,782,442 in seven portfolio companies.
Financial Liquidity and Capital Resources
At December 31, 2002, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of
approximately $2.1 million. Pursuant to Small Business Administration ("SBA")
regulations, cash and cash equivalents of $0.1 million held by Capital Southwest
Venture Corporation ("CSVC") may not be transferred or advanced to Capital
Southwest Corporation without the consent of the SBA. Under current SBA
8
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations (continued)
regulations and subject to SBA's approval of its credit application, CSVC would
be entitled to borrow up to $63.8 million. The Company also has an unsecured
$20.0 million revolving line of credit from a commercial bank, of which $7.5
million was available at December 31, 2002. This line was increased to $25.0
million effective January 20, 2003. 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, the Company has elected to
retain all gains realized during the past 34 years. Retention of future gains is
viewed as an important source of funds to sustain the Company's investment
activity. Approximately $31.2 million of the Company's investment portfolio is
represented by unrestricted publicly-traded securities, which have an
ascertainable market value and represent a primary source of liquidity.
Funds to be used by the Company 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 of the Company, to the extent of their
available cash reserves and borrowing capacities.
Management believes that the Company's cash and cash equivalents and
cash available from other sources described above are adequate to meet its
expected requirements. Consistent with the long-term strategy of the Company,
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
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 materially affected by foreign currency fluctuations.
The Company's investment in portfolio securities consists of fixed rate
debt securities which totaled $2,800,000 at December 31, 2002, equivalent to
1.0% 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. 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 issuers of
such restricted securities 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, 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
value of the Company's investment in such security.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have reviewed
and evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 240.13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c) as of a
date within 90 days before the filing date of this quarterly report. Based on
that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have
concluded that the Company's current disclosure controls and procedures are
effective and timely, providing all material information relating to the Company
required to be disclosed in reports filed or submited under the Exchange Act.
Changes in Internal Controls
There have not been any significant changes in the Company's internal
controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls
subsequent to the date of their evaluation. We are not aware of any significant
deficiencies or material weaknesses, therefore no corrective actions were taken.
