Notes to Consolidated Statement of Investments

(Unaudited)

 
 
(a)          Definitions
              Unrestricted securities (indicated by ±) are freely marketable securities having readily available market quotations. All other securities are restricted securities, which are subject to one or more restriction on resale and are not freely marketable. At June 30, 2009, restricted securities represented approximately 96.0% of the value of the consolidated investment portfolio.
 
(b)          Investment Valuation Policy

              Our investments are carried at fair value in accordance with the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”). In accordance with the 1940 Act, unrestricted minority-owned publicly traded securities, for which the market quotations are readily available, are valued at the closing sale price for the NYSE listed securities and the lower of the closing bid price or the last sale price for NASDAQ securities on the valuation date; and restricted publicly traded securities and other privately held securities are valued as determined in good faith by our Board of Directors.

Notes to Consolidated Statement of Investments
(continued)

                 We adopted SFAS No. 157 on April 1, 2008 (see footnote 3 in “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements,” page 12). SFAS No. 157 provides a framework for measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 157 also provides guidance regarding a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes information used to measure fair value and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings and provides for enhanced disclosures determined by the level within the hierarchy of information used for valuation. SFAS No. 157 applies whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value but does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances.

                 SFAS No. 157 defines fair value in terms of the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (the “exit price”) and excludes transaction costs. Under SFAS No. 157, the fair value measurement also assumes that the transaction to sell an asset occurs in the principal market for the asset or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset. The principal market is the market in which the reporting entity would sell or transfer the asset with the greatest volume and level of activity for the asset. In determining the principal market for an asset or liability under SFAS No. 157, it is assumed that the reporting entity has access to the market as of the measurement date.

(c)              Valuation Methodologies

                  Debt Securities are generally valued on the basis of the price the security would command in order to provide a yield-to-maturity equivalent to the present yield of comparable debt instruments of similar quality.

 

                 Partnership Interests and Common Equity including unrestricted marketable securities, which are valued at the closing sale price for the NYSE listed securities and the lower of the closing bid price or the last sale price for NASDAQ securities on the valuation date and restricted marketable securities for which there is a public market, are valued at the closing sale price for the NYSE listed securities and the lower of the closing bid price or the last sale price for NASDAQ securities on the valuation date adjusted in good faith by our Board of Directors if they deem a discount or premium would be likely or obtainable upon a sale or transfer of our interest. For those without a principal market, the Board of Directors considers the financial condition and operating results of the issuer; the long-term potential of the business of the issuer; the market for and recent sales prices of the issuer’s securities; the values of similar securities issued by companies in similar businesses; the proportion of the issuer’s securities owned by the Company; protective put analysis based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model; the nature and duration of resale restrictions; and the nature of any rights enabling the Company to require the issuer to register restricted securities under applicable securities laws. In determining the fair value of restricted securities, the Board of Directors considers the inherent value of such securities without regard to the restrictive feature and adjusts for any diminution in value resulting from restrictions on resale.

 

                 Preferred Equity is valued on the basis of the price (bond value) the security would carry in the absence of the conversion feature plus the value allocable to the conversion feature (conversion value). 

         

                 Equity Warrants are valued on the basis of accepted formulas derived from empirical studies which define the market value of a warrant in relation to the market price of its common stock. These formulas measure the “option value” of a warrant as well as its “exercise value” (the amount, if any, by which the value of the stock exceeds the exercise price of the warrant). In applying such formulas, the market price of the stock is usually discounted to reflect the fact that the stock is restricted and the calculated value of the warrant itself may be discounted (if deemed appropriate) to reflect its restrictive nature. Generally, the option value is excluded if the formula indicates (1) the warrant expires within six months, (2) the market price of the stock (discounted) is less than one-half of the exercise price of the warrant, or (3) the market price of the stock (discounted) is more than two times the amount of the exercise price of the warrant.

1.              The Company 

Capital Southwest Corporation (“CSC” or the “Company”) was organized as a Texas corporation on April 19, 1961. Until September 1969, we operated as a licensee under the Small Business Investment Act of 1958. At that time, we transferred to our wholly-owned subsidiary, Capital Southwest Venture Corporation ("CSVC") certain assets and our license as a small business investment company ("SBIC"). CSVC is a closed-end, non-diversified investment company of the management type registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). Prior to March 30, 1988, we were registered as a closed-end, non-diversified investment company under the 1940 Act. On that date, we elected to become a business development company subject to the provisions of the 1940 Act, as amended by the Small Business Incentive Act of 1980. Because we wholly own CSVC, the portfolios of both entities are referred to collectively as “our,” “we” and “us.” Capital Southwest Management Company (“CSMC”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of CSC, is the management company for CSC and CSVC. CSMC generally incurs all normal operating and administrative expenses, including but not limited to salaries and related benefits, rent, equipment and other administrative costs required for its day-to-day operations.

Our portfolio is a composite of companies in which we have major interests as well as a number of developing companies and marketable securities of established publicly-owned companies. We make available significant managerial assistance to the companies in which we invest and believe that providing material assistance to such investee companies is critical to their business development activities. When appropriate CSMC receives a monthly fixed fee for their management services provided to the portfolio companies.

2.             Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements 

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for investment companies. Under rules and regulations applicable to investment companies, we are precluded from consolidating any entity other than another investment company. An exception to this general principle occurs if the investment company has an investment in an operating company that provides services to the investment company. Our consolidated financial statements include our management company.

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 Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2009, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). 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.

3.             Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Fair Value Measurements The Company adopted SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157” or the “Statement”), on April 1, 2008. SFAS 157 (1) creates a single definition of fair value, (2) establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and (3) expands disclosure requirements about items measured at fair value.

12

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(continued) 

The Statement applies to both items recognized and reported at fair value in the financial statements and items disclosed at fair value in the notes to the financial statements. The Statement does not change existing accounting rules governing what can or what must be recognized and reported at fair value in the Company’s financial statements, or disclosed at fair value in the Company’s notes to the financial statements. Additionally, SFAS 157 does not eliminate practicability exceptions that exist in accounting pronouncements amended by this Statement when measuring fair value. As a result, the Company will not be required to recognize any new assets or liabilities at fair value.

Prior to SFAS 157, certain measurements of fair value were based on the price that would be paid to acquire an asset, or received to assume a liability (an entry price). SFAS 157 clarifies the definition of fair value as the price that would be received from the sale of an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (that is, an exit price). The exit price is based on the amount that the holder of the asset or liability would receive or need to pay in an actual transaction (or in a hypothetical transaction if an actual transaction does not exist) at the measurement date. In some circumstances, the entry and exit price may be the same; however, they are conceptually different.

Fair value is generally determined based on quoted market prices in the active markets for identical assets or liabilities. If quoted market prices are not available, the Company uses valuation techniques that place greater reliance on observable inputs and less reliance on unobservable inputs. In measuring fair value, the Company may make adjustments for risks and uncertainties, if a market participant would include such an adjustment in its pricing.

Cash and Cash Equivalents All temporary cash investments having a maturity of three months or less when purchased are considered to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. We maintain cash and cash equivalents at several financial institutions, which at times may not be federally insured or may exceed federally insured limits. We have not experienced any losses in such accounts and believe we are not exposed to any significant credit risks on such accounts.

Segment Information The Company operates and manages its business in a singular segment. As an investment company, the Company invests in portfolio companies in various industries and geographic areas as presented in the portfolio of investments.

Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Federal Income Taxes CSC and CSVC intend to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) necessary to qualify as regulated investment companies (RICs). By meeting these requirements, they will not be subject to corporate federal income taxes on ordinary income distributed to shareholders. The Company’s policy is to retain and pay the 35% corporate tax on realized long-term capital gains. For investment companies that qualify as RICs under the IRC, federal income taxes payable on security gains that the company elects to retain are accrued only on the last day of the tax year, December 31. Therefore, CSC and CSVC made no provision for federal income taxes on such gains and net investment income in their financial statements.

CSMC, a wholly owned subsidiary of CSC, is not a RIC and is required to pay taxes at the current corporate rate.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(continued)

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity's financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company adopted FIN 48 on April 1, 2007, which had no effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Deferred Taxes The Company sponsors a qualified defined benefit pension plan which covers its employees and employees of certain of its controlled affiliates. Deferred taxes related to the qualified defined benefit pension plan are recorded as incurred.

Stock-Based Compensation In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R), which revised SFAS 123. SFAS 123R also supersedes APB 25 and amends SFAS No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. SFAS 123R eliminates the alternative to account for employee stock options under APB 25 and requires that the fair value of all share-based payments to employees, including the fair value of grants of employee stock options, be recognized in the income statement, generally over the vesting period.

In March 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 107, which provides additional implementation guidance for SFAS 123R. Among other things, SAB 107 provides guidance on share-based payment valuations, income statement classification and presentation, capitalization of costs and related income tax accounting.

Effective April 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS 123R using the modified prospective transition method. The Company recognizes compensation cost over the straight-line method for all share-based payments granted on or after that date and for all awards granted to employees prior to April 1, 2006 that remain unvested on that date. The fair value of stock options are determined on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes pricing model and are expensed over the vesting period of the related stock options.

Defined Pension Benefits and Other Postretirement Plans Effective March 31, 2007, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB Statements Nos. 87, 88, 106 and 132R (SFAS 158). SFAS 158 is required to be adopted on a prospective basis and prior year financial statements and related disclosures are not permitted to be restated. SFAS 158 requires an employer that sponsors one or more postretirement defined benefit plan(s) to (1) recognize the funded status of postretirement defined benefit plans – measured as the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the benefit obligations – in its balance sheet; (2) recognize changes in the funded status of postretirement defined benefit plans in shareholder’s equity in the year in which the changes occur; and measure postretirement defined benefit plan assets and obligations as of the date of the employer’s fiscal year-end. The Company presently uses March 31 as the measurement date for all of its postretirement defined benefit plans.

4.             Investments

We fair value our investments in accordance with GAAP as determined in good faith by our Board of Directors. When available, we base the fair value of our investments on directly observable market prices or on market data derived for comparable assets. For all other investments, inputs used to measure fair value reflect management’s best estimate of assumptions that would be used by market participants in pricing the investments in a hypothetical transaction.

14

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(continued)

The levels of fair value inputs used to measure our investments are characterized in accordance with the fair value hierarchy established by SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). Where inputs for an asset or liability fall in more than one level in the fair value hierarchy, the investment is classified in its entirety based on the lowest level input that is significant to that investment’s fair value measurement. We use judgment and consider factors specific to the investment in determining the significance of an input to a fair value measurement. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy and investments that fall into each of the levels are described below:

       

Level 1: Level 1 inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. We use Level 1 inputs for publicly traded unrestricted securities. Such investments are valued at the closing price for listed securities and at the lower of the closing bid price or the closing sale price for over-the-counter (NASDAQ) securities on the valuation date.  

 
       

Level 2: Level 2 inputs are inputs other than the quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. We did not value any of our investments using level 2 inputs as of June 30, 2009.  

 
       

Level 3: Level 3 inputs are unobservable and cannot be corroborated by observable market data. We use Level 3 inputs for measuring the fair value of substantially all of our investments. See “Notes to Portfolio of Investments” (c) on page 11 for the investment policy used to determine the fair value of these investments.

5.             Income Taxes

We operate to qualify as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. In order to qualify as a RIC, we must annually distribute at least 90% of our taxable ordinary income, based on our tax year, to our shareholders in a timely manner. Ordinary income includes net short-term capital gains but excludes net long-term capital gains. A RIC is not subject to federal income tax on the portion of its ordinary income and long-term capital gains that are distributed to its shareholders, including “deemed distributions” discussed below. As permitted by the Code, a RIC can designate dividends paid in the subsequent tax year as dividends of current year ordinary income and net long-term gains if those dividends are both declared by the extended due date of the RIC’s federal income tax return and paid to shareholders by the last day of the subsequent tax year. We have distributed or intend to distribute sufficient dividends to eliminate taxable income for our completed tax fiscal years. If we fail to satisfy the 90% distribution requirement or otherwise fail to qualify as a RIC in any tax year, we would be subject to tax in such year on all of our taxable income, regardless of whether we made any distributions to our shareholders. Additionally, we are also subject to a nondeductible federal excise tax of 4% if we do not distribute at least 98% of our investment company ordinary taxable income before the end of our tax year. We have a calendar tax year end of December 31. For the tax years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, CSC and CSVC qualified to be taxed as RICs. We intend to meet the applicable qualifications to be taxed as a RIC in future years. Management feels it is probable that we will maintain our RIC status for a period longer than one year. However, either company’s ability to meet certain portfolio diversification requirements of RICs in future years may not be controllable by such company.

In addition, a RIC may elect to retain its long-term capital gains by designating them as a “deemed distribution” to its shareholders and paying a federal tax of 35% on the long-term capital gains for the benefit of its shareholders. Shareholders would then report their share of the retained capital gains on their income tax returns as if it had been received and report a tax credit for the tax paid on their behalf by the RIC. Shareholders then add the amount of the “deemed distribution,” net of such tax, to the basis of their shares.

CSMC, a wholly owned subsidiary of CSC, is not a RIC and is required to pay taxes at the current corporate rate. The Company sponsors a qualified defined benefit pension plan which covers its employees and employees of certain of its wholly owned portfolio companies. Deferred taxes related to the qualified defined pension plan are recorded as incurred.

6.             Stock-Based Compensation

Effective April 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS 123R using the modified prospective transition method. We recognize compensation cost over the straight-line method for all share-based payments granted on or after that date and for all awards granted to employees prior to April 1, 2006 that remain unvested on that date. The fair value of stock options are determined on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes pricing model and are expensed over the vesting period of the related stock options. Accordingly, for the three months ended June 30, 2009, we recognized compensation expense of $141,525.

As of June 30, 2009, the total remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options was $2,221,402, which will be amortized over the weighted-average service period of approximately 4.4 years.

7.             Employee Stock Option Plan

On July 19, 1999, shareholders approved the 1999 Stock Option (“Plan”), which provides for the granting of stock options to employees and officers of the Company and authorizes the issuance of common stock upon exercise of such options for up to 140,000 shares. All options are granted at or above market price, generally expire ten years from the date of grant and are generally exercisable on or after the first anniversary of the date of grant in five to ten annual installments.

At June 30, 2009, there were no shares available for grant under the Plan. The following table summarizes the price per option at grant date using the Black-Scholes pricing model:

In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value Instruments” (“FSP No. 107-1”), which expands the fair value disclosures required for all financial instruments within the scope of SFAS No. 107 to interim periods for publicly traded entities. FSP No. 107-01 also requires entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments in financial statements on an interim basis and to highlight any changes of the methods and significant assumptions from prior periods. FSP No. 107-01 is effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The guidance provided by FSP No. 107-01 is consistent with our approach to disclosing the fair values of our financial instruments on an interim basis.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(continued) 

In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” (“FSP No. 157-4”), which provides additional guidance in determining when observable transaction prices or quoted prices in markets that have become less active require significant adjustment to fair value. FSP 157-4 also requires entities to disclose inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value and changes in valuation techniques and related inputs, if any, on an interim and annual basis. FSP 157-4 is effective for reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The guidance provided by FSP 157-4 is consistent with Capital Southwest’s approach to valuing financial assets for which there are no active markets and transactions that are not orderly.

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events” (“SFAS 165”). SFAS 165 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. SFAS 165 is effective for interim or annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of SFAS 165 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “the FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles a Replacement of SFAS 162” (“SFAS 168”). SFAS 168 replaces SFAS 162 and establishes the FASB Standards Codification™ as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied to nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conforming with GAAP. Rules and interpretive releases of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. SFAS 168 is effective for interim or annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of SFAS 168 will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

11.        Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated all subsequent events through August 6, 2009, the date of the filing of this Form 10-Q.

On July 13, 2009, we made a $4,000,000 investment in iMemories, Inc., a privately held Scottsdale, AZ company providing a consumer marketplace, through its website, for preserving, storing and sharing digitized personal videos and photos.

On July 20, 2009, our shareholders approved the Capital Southwest Corporation 2009 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan approved by the shareholders contained provisions permitting the grant of restricted stock (which are entitled to receive dividends prior to vesting); however, prior to our annual meeting, we filed requests for exemptive orders from the SEC which requested exemptions from provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) to allow the issuance by us under the Plan of restricted stock and the participation of non-employee directors in the Plan. If the orders are issued granting these exemptions, the Plan will be operated in accordance with any conditions or limitations set forth by the SEC in its orders. To the extent we do not receive the requested exemptions, the Plan will be operated in a manner so as to comply with all provisions of the 1940 Act from which we have not received exemptive relief, and could mean that we would not be able to issue restricted stock under the Plan or allow non-employee directors to participate in the Plan.

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

    Net asset value at June 30, 2009 was $424,337,993, equivalent to $113.41 per share. Assuming reinvestment of all dividends and tax credits on retained long-term capital gains, the June 30, 2009 net asset value reflects a decrease of 20.6% during the past twelve months.

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. 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. 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 “unrealized” to “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 $322,808 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 decreased from $349,852 in the year-ago period due to a decrease in excess cash and interest rates. During the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, we recorded dividend income from the following sources:

Net Increase (Decrease) in Unrealized Appreciation of Investments     

     Set forth in the following table are the significant increases and decreases in unrealized appreciation by portfolio company:

All Components, Inc.     $3,000,000     $                 –

The RectorSeal Corporation           (15,000,000 )
Texas Capital Bancshares, Inc.       2,066,348     (430,897 )

During the three months ended June 30, 2009, the value of our investments in All Components, Inc. and Balco, Inc. increased by $3,000,000 and $1,400,000, respectively. The increase in All Components, Inc. is the result of debt reduction on its senior credit facility; while the increase in our value of Balco, Inc. is due to strong results for its fiscal year ended June 30, 2009. Additionally, our investments in Heelys, Inc. and Texas Capital Bancshares, Inc. increased $2,329,328 and $2,066,348, respectively, due primarily to the increases in their respective stock prices at June 30, 2009.                         

Portfolio Investments 

During the quarter ended June 30, 2009, we made investments of $5,963,588 in existing portfolio companies.

We have agreed, subject to certain conditions, to invest up to $10,219,482 in eight portfolio companies.

Financial Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $10.5 million. Pursuant to Small Business Administration (SBA) regulations, cash and cash equivalents of $5.3 million 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 the SBA’s approval of its credit application, CSVC would be entitled to borrow up to $20.6 million. 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 40 years. Retention of future gains is viewed as an important source of funds to sustain our investment activity. Approximately $16.6 million of our investment portfolio is represented by unrestricted publicly-traded securities, 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 The RectorSeal Corporation and The Whitmore Manufacturing Company, wholly-owned portfolio companies, to the extent of their available cash reserves and borrowing capacities.

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

Application of Critical Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates

There have been no changes during the first quarter of 2009 to the critical accounting policies or the areas that involve the use of significant judgments and estimates we described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. 

Recent Developments

On July 13, 2009, we made a $4,000,000 investment in iMemories, Inc., a privately held Scottsdale, AZ company providing a consumer marketplace, through its website, for preserving, storing and sharing digitized personal videos and photos. 

On July 20, 2009, our shareholders approved the Capital Southwest Corporation 2009 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), as described in footnote 11 of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Forward-Looking Statements

The information contained herein may contain “forward-looking statements” based on our current expectations, assumptions and estimates about us and our industry. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. Words such as “believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “will,” “may,” “might,” “could,” “continue” and other similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. In addition, any statements that refer to expectations, projections or other characterizations of future events or circumstances are forward-looking statements. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements as a result of several factors more fully described in “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, and in our Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2009. The forward-looking statements made in this Form 10-Q related only to events as of the date on which the statements are made. We undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason, even if new information becomes available or other events occur in the future.

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.

Our investment performance is a function of our portfolio companies’ profitability, which may be affected by economic cycles, competitive forces, foreign currency fluctuations and production costs including labor rates, raw material prices and certain commodity prices. Most of the companies in our investment portfolio do not hedge their exposure to raw material and commodity price fluctuations. However, the portfolio company with the greatest exposure to foreign currency fluctuations generally hedges its exposure. All of these factors may have an adverse effect on the value of our investments and on our net asset value.

Our investment in portfolio securities includes fixed-rate debt securities which totaled $12,179,434 at June 30, 2009, equivalent to 3.0% of the value of our total investments. Generally, these debt securities are below investment grade and have relatively high fixed rates of interest; therefore, 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.

22

Item 3.          Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

(continued)

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 stock 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

As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chairman of the Board and President and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based on that evaluation, the Chairman of the Board and President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chairman of the Board and President and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding such required disclosure.

During the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2009, there were no changes to the internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.     Legal Proceedings

We are currently the subject of certain legal actions. In our judgment, none of the lawsuits currently pending against us, either individually or in the aggregate, is likely to have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, or financial position.

We, Capital Southwest Corporation and CSVC, have been named in a lawsuit filed on August 27, 2007 in the United States District Court of the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division, against Heelys, Inc. and their Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, the directors who signed their registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with their December 7, 2006 initial public offering (“IPO”), and their underwriters for the IPO. The complaint alleges violations of Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 and the plaintiffs are seeking compensatory damages in an unspecified amount, as well as reasonable costs and expenses incurred in the action, including counsel fees and expert fees. Similar suits were also filed in 2007 and 2008 in the United States District Court of the Northern District of Texas making substantially similar allegations under Sections 11, 12 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, and seeking substantially similar damages.

23

Item 1.      Legal Proceedings
(continued)

These lawsuits have been transferred to a single judge, and we expect that all the cases will be consolidated into a single action, with a consolidated complaint filed shortly thereafter. During a mediation conducted by the Hon. Nicholas H. Politan (ret.), Plaintiffs and Defendants reached a settlement pursuant to which Defendants agreed to institute certain corporate governance changes and to pay plaintiffs’ counsel attorneys’ fees and expenses of $1 million. Heelys, Inc. has also reached an agreement in principal with its insurers for their insurance policies to fund the majority of this settlement amount. This settlement is subject to final documentation and approval by the Court. Heelys, Inc. has submitted the proposed settlement to the Court for preliminary approval. If the Court preliminarily approves the settlement, notice will be provided to shareholders, who will be provided an opportunity to object to the settlement or to opt out of the proposed settlement class.

              Heelys, Inc., its former Chief Executive Officer, its former Chief Financial Officer, and its directors who signed the Company's registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with its December 7, 2006 initial public offering (the "IPO")—along with us, Capital Southwest Corporation and CSVC, and the underwriters for the Heelys, Inc. IPO—are defendants in a lawsuit originally filed on May 16, 2008 by individual shareholder Carl Dick in the County Court of Law No. 1, Dallas County, Texas. This lawsuit asserts claims that are substantially similar to those asserted in the consolidated class action described above. The petition alleges violations of Sections 11, 12(a)(2), and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 and Sections 33(A), (C), and (F) of the Texas Securities Act. Defendants withdrew their previously-filed special exceptions to Plaintiff's petition seeking to have all claims dismissed, and discovery in this case is proceeding. The case is scheduled for trial in October 2009. While the Company cannot predict the outcome of this matter, the Company believes that the plaintiff's claims are without merit, denies the allegations in the complaints, and the Company intends to vigorously defend the lawsuits.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes to our risk factors disclosed in Item 1A, “Risk Factors”, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009.
