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 generally accepted accounting principles 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 generally accepted accounting principles 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, 1998. 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.

Summary of Per Share Information Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended December 31 December 31 ----------- ----------- 1998 1997 1998 1997 ---- ---- ---- ---- Investment income $ .20 $ .27 $ .78 $ .90 Operating expenses (.15) (.18) (.33) (.31) Interest expense (.02) (.02) (.08) (.08) Income taxes -- -- (.02) (.02) --------- --------- --------- --------- Net investment income .03 .07 .35 .49 Net realized gain (loss) on investments -- (.66) .13 1.71 Net increase (decrease) in unrealized appreciation of investments .61 1.74 (6.89) 12.09 Distributions from undistributed net investment income (.40) (.40) (.60) (.60) Exercise of employee stock options (1) (.13) (.07) (.21) (.13) --------- --------- --------- --------- Net increase (decrease) in net asset value .11 .68 (7.22) 13.56 Net asset value: Beginning of period 70.82 71.01 78.15 58.13 --------- --------- --------- --------- End of period $ 70.93 $ 71.69 $ 70.93 $ 71.69 ========= ========= ========= ========= Shares outstanding at end of period (000s omitted) 3,807 3,788 3,807 3,788
(1) Net decrease is due to the exercise of employee stock options at prices less than beginning of period net asset value. 6 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Interest income in the nine months ended December 31, 1998 decreased from the year-ago period primarily because of a decrease in average idle funds invested. During the nine months ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, the Company recorded dividend income from the following sources: Nine Months Ended December 31 ----------- 1998 1997 ---- ---- Alamo Group Inc. $ 877,800 $ 798,000 The RectorSeal Corporation 240,000 261,200 Skylawn Corporation 150,000 150,000 Westmarc Communications, Inc. 60,953 60,953 The Whitmore Manufacturing Company 60,000 60,000 Kimberly-Clark Corporation 57,885 - Texas Shredder, Inc. 30,345 28,125 Other 102,404 85,361 ---------- ---------- $1,579,387 $1,443,639 ========== ========== Salaries in the nine months ended December 31, 1998 decreased from the year-ago period mainly due to a reduction in staff. Other operating expenses in the nine months ended December 31, 1998 increased from the year-ago period primarily due to the payment of a finders fee related to an investment. During the nine months ended December 31, 1998, the Company reported a realized gain before income taxes of $761,837. 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 ----------- ----------- 1998 1997 1998 1997 ---- ---- ---- ---- Alamo Group Inc. $ -- $ -- $(10,640,000) $ 8,308,000 All Components, Inc. -- -- 1,225,000 950,000 American Homestar Corporation (4,975,766) 657,176 (5,820,707) 3,786,589 Amfibe, Inc.

During the quarter ended December 31, 1998, the Company made additional investments of $1,897,860 in existing portfolio companies. The Company has agreed, subject to certain conditions, to invest up to $2,900,000 in three portfolio companies. Many computer software systems in use today cannot properly process date-related information from and after January 1, 2000. Should any of the computer systems employed by our major portfolio companies fail to process this type of information properly, it could have a negative impact to our shareholders. The Company has reviewed its computer system and determined that it will be Year 2000 compliant. In addition, the Company has inquired of its major service providers as well as its major portfolio companies to determine if they will be prepared for the Year 2000. All have indicated they are taking the necessary steps to be Year 2000 compliant. It is anticipated that the Company will incur no material expenses related to the Year 2000 issues. PART II.
