Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors of
Capital Southwest Corporation and Subsidiary:
We have examined management's assertion, included in the accompanying Management
Statement Regarding Compliance With Certain Provisions of the Investment Company
Act of 1940, that Capital Southwest Corporation and subsidiary (the "Company")
complied with the requirements of subsections (b) and (c) of rule 17f-2 under
the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Act") as of March 30, 2007. Management
is responsible for the Company's compliance with those requirements. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on management's assertion about the
Company's compliance based on our examination.
Our examination was conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and, accordingly, included
examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Company's compliance with those
requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in
the circumstances. Included among our procedures were the following tests
performed as of March 30, 2007, and with respect to agreement of security
purchases and sales, for the period from January 5, 2007 (the date of the last
examination) through March 30, 2007:
o Count and inspection of all securities located in the vault of JPMorgan
Chase & Co. Safekeeping Department in New York City, New York.
o Confirmation of all securities held by Citigroup Smith Barney and the
custodian.
o Reconciliation of all such securities to the books and records of the
Company.
o Agreement of one security purchase since our last report from the books and
records of the Company to the Company's bank statements.
We believe that our examination provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our
examination does not provide a legal determination on the Company's compliance
with specified requirements.
In our opinion, management's assertion that Capital Southwest Corporation and
subsidiary complied with the requirements of subsections (b) and (c) of rule
17f-2 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 as of March 30, 2007, with respect
to securities reflected in the investment account of the Company is fairly
stated, in all material respects.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of management and the
Board of Directors of Capital Southwest Corporation and subsidiary and the
Securities and Exchange Commission and is not intended to be and should not be
used by anyone other than these specified parties.
