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 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,  1996.  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.

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

     Interest  income in the nine months ended  December 31, 1996 decreased from
the  year-ago  period  primarily  because  of the  repayment  of  debentures  by
portfolio  companies  offset  somewhat by an  increase  in invested  idle funds.
During the nine months ended  December 31, 1996 and 1995,  the Company  recorded
dividend income from the following sources:

                                               =========            =========

     Interest  expense in the nine months ended December 31, 1996 decreased from
the  year-ago  period  due to the  repayment  of bank  debt  and a  subordinated
debenture  and due to the accrual of interest in the prior year on the  deferred
tax related to the installment sale of MESC Holdings, Inc.

     During the nine months  ended  December 31,  1996,  the Company  reported a
realized  gain  before  income  taxes of  $1,460,005.  It should be noted that a
realized  gain before  income  taxes and a decrease in  unrealized  appreciation
before income taxes are directly  related in that when an appreciated  portfolio
security  is sold to realize a gain,  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.

     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:
