     The  accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements,  which  include the
accounts of Capital  Southwest  Corporation and its wholly-owned  small business

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

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

        of Operations

     Interest  income in the nine months ended  December 31, 1997 increased from
the year-ago period  primarily  because of interest  payments by a new portfolio
company and an increase in average idle funds  invested.  During the nine months
ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, the Company recorded  dividend income from the
following sources:

     Interest  expense in the nine months ended December 31, 1997 decreased from
the  year-ago  period  due to  the  repayment  of a  subordinated  debenture  on
September 1, 1996. Salaries in the nine months ended December 31, 1997 increased
from the year-ago  period  mainly due to the accrual in December  1997 of annual
bonuses,  which in the prior  fiscal  year were  accrued  in March  1997.  Other
operating expenses in the nine months ended December 31, 1997 increased from the
year-ago  period  primarily  because  of  additional  environmental  remediation
expenses related to a previous  investment and legal expenses in connection with
a claim against the Company's pension plan.

     During the nine months  ended  December 31,  1997,  the Company  reported a
realized  gain  before  income  taxes of  $9,905,069.  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.
