</TABLE>


Notes to Portfolio of Investments
---------------------------------

(a) 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 restrictions on resale and are not
freely marketable. At December 31, 2007, restricted securities represented
approximately 87.9% of the value of the consolidated investment portfolio.

(b) Under the valuation policy of the Company, unrestricted securities are
valued at the closing sale price for listed securities and at the lower of the
closing bid price or the last sale price for Nasdaq securities on the valuation
date. Restricted securities, including securities of publicly-owned companies
which are subject to restrictions on resale, are valued at fair value as
determined by the Board of Directors. Fair value is considered to be the amount
which the Company may reasonably expect to receive for portfolio securities if
such securities were sold on the valuation date. Valuations as of any particular
date, however, are not necessarily indicative of amounts which may ultimately be
realized as a result of future sales or other dispositions of securities.

Among the factors considered by the Board of Directors in determining the fair
value of restricted securities are 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, 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.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
------------------------------------------
(Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

Principles of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America 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/A
for the year ended March 31, 2007. 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.

2. Restatement of Consolidated Financial Statements

Capital Southwest Corporation (the "Company") filed an amendment to its
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2007, to amend and
restate its consolidated financial statements and selected per share data and
ratios for each of the fiscals years ended March 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 and our
selected per share data and ratios for the years ended March 31, 2004 and 2003.
In addition, we filed an amendment to our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
quarter ended June 30, 2007.

After reviewing the accounting treatment for deferred taxes on realized
appreciation of investments, the Company has determined its long-standing policy
of recording deferred taxes on unrealized appreciation of investments was not in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and its previously
issued financial statements required restatement. The effect of the restatement
on the consolidated statement of financial conditions as of March 31, 2007; the
consolidated statement of operations and consolidated statement of cash flows
for the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2006; the consolidated
statement of changes in net assets for the nine months ended December 31, 2006
and year ended March 31, 2007 is as follows and shown in tables below:

(A) A Regulated Investment Company (RIC) is required to record deferred taxes
when it is probable the RIC will not qualify under Subchapter M of the
Internal Revenue Code for a period longer than one year. Historically,
management believed it was probable the Company would not maintain its
qualifying status as a RIC in future years and recorded a deferred tax
liability on the unrealized appreciation of investments. However, upon
further analysis, the Company determined it was only reasonably possible,
but not probable, the Company would not maintain its qualifying status as a
RIC. Thus the deferred tax liability consistently recorded and disclosed
should not have been recognized.

(B) The Company historically has accrued income taxes payable on its investment
gains as they have been incurred, as it has been the Company's practice to
retain its investment gains. However, RICs are required to accrue federal



12
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(continued)

income taxes on investment gains that are retained only on the last day of
the tax year. The Company incorrectly recorded the tax impact of its
investment gains in periods other than the last day of its tax year,
December 31. Therefore, the income taxes payable recorded at times other
than the tax year end should not have been recognized.

(C) The Company incorrectly classified its' return of capital contributions
cumulatively as "undistributed net realized gains on investments." RICs are
required to classify return of capital contributuions as "additional
capital" in the period in which tax basis amounts become permanent; and
reflect undistributed amounts remaining since its' previous tax year end
adjusted for temporary tax basis differences as "undistsributed net
realized gains on investment."

The restatement will eliminate the accrual for deferred taxes on unrealized
appreciation of investments, and income taxes payable and related tax
carryforwards on realized gains, increasing the net asset value per share and
net assets from operations for the periods restated; reclassify return of
capital contributions to "additional capital."

3. Income Taxes

For the tax years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, Capital Southwest
Corporation ("CSC") and Capital Southwest Venture Corporation ("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.

As permitted by the Internal Revenue Code, a RIC can designate dividends
paid in the subsequent tax year as dividends of the current year ordinary
taxable income and long-term capital 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. For the tax years ended
December 31, 2007 and 2006 we declared and paid dividends in the amounts of
$2,333,291 and $2,323,150, respectively.

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 during our tax year. For the tax years ended December 31, 2007
and 2006 we distributed 100% of our investment company ordinary taxable income.
As a result we have made no provision for income taxes on ordinary taxable
income for the tax years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006.

For the tax year ended December 31, 2007, we have an estimated net
long-term capital loss of $961,655 for tax purposes and $860,118 for book
purposes, which will be carried forward and offset by future net long-term
capital gains. For the tax year ended December 31, 2006, we had net long-term
capital gains of $31,659,140 for tax purposes and $31,932,775 for book purposes,
which we elected to retain and treat as a deemed distribution to our
shareholders. In order to make the election to retain capital gains, we incurred
and paid a federal tax on behalf of our shareholders of $11,080,699 for the tax
year ended December 31, 2006.

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.

4. 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 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, 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 quarter and
nine months ended December 31, 2007, we recognized compensation expense of
$87,988 and $175,676, respectively.

As of December 31, 2007, the total remaining unrecognized compensation cost
related to non-vested stock options was $1,883,824, which will be amortized over
the weighted-average service period of approximately 6.2 years.

5. 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 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 December 31, 2007, there were 37,500 shares available for grant under
the Plan. The per share weighted-average fair value of the stock options granted
on May 15, 2006 was $31.28 per option using the Black-Scholes pricing model with
the following assumptions: expected dividend yield of .64%, risk-free interest
rate of 5.08%, expected volatility of 21.1%, and expected life of 7 years. The
per share weighted-average fair value of the stock options granted on July 17,
2006 was $33.05 per option using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the
following assumptions: expected dividend yield of .61%, risk-free interest rate
of 5.04%, expected volatility of 21.2%, and expected life of 7 years. The per
share weighted-average fair value of the stock options granted on July 16, 2007
was $41.78 per option using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following
assuptions: expected dividend yield of .39%, risk-free interest rate of 4.95%,
expected volatility of 19.9%, and expected life of 5 years.

The following summarizes activity in the stock option plan since March 31,
2007:

At December 31, 2007, the range of exercise prices and weighted-average
remaining contractual life of outstanding options was $65.00 to $152.98 and 6.16
years, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the
nine months ended December 31, 2007 was $75,129 with the exercise prices ranging
from $65.00 to $93.49 per share. A total of 3,100 new shares were issued for the
$231,390 cash received from option exercises for the nine months ended December
31, 2007.

At December 31, 2007, the number of options exercisable was 9,930 and the
weighted-average exercise price of those options was $79.01.

On January 10, 2008, the Company received a "moot" letter from NASDAQ
informing it that its filing delinquency had been cured. Accordingly, the
Company is in compliance with Rule 4310(c) (14).

8. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standard No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" (SFAS 157). The standard defines
fair value, outlines a framework for measuring fair value, and details the
required disclosures about fair value measurements. The standard is effective
for years beginning after November 15, 2007; therefore, we will adopt SFAS 157
effective April 1, 2008. We are evaluating the impact of SFAS 157.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities" (SFAS 159). SFAS 159 permits
entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items
at fair value and establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed
to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement
attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS 159 is effective
for us beginning April 1, 2008. We are evaluating the impact of SFAS 159. The
impact, if any, from the adoption of SFAS 159 has not been determined.

Net asset value at December 31, 2007 was $541,924,018, equivalent to
$139.34 per share. Assuming reinvestment of all dividends and tax credits on
retained long-term capital gains, the December 31, 2007 net asset value reflects
a decrease of 22.63% during the past twelve months.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations

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 $1,797,079 for the nine months ended December 31, 2007
increased from $1,624,418 for nine months ended December 31, 2006, due to an
increase in excess cash and interest rates. During the nine months ended
December 31, 2007 and 2006, we recorded dividend income from the following
sources:

</TABLE>

During the nine months ended December 31, 2007, the value of our investment
in The RectorSeal Corporation was increased by $22,000,000 due to increased
sales and earnings at the company derived largely from growing demand for the
smoke containment systems manufactured by its Smoke Guard subsidiary.

Offsetting the gain at RectorSeal during the nine months ended December 31,
2007, was a $158,394,760 decline in the value of Heelys, Inc., which experienced
significantly slower growth and an extreme decline in market price during the
past quarter; a $24,520,750 decline in the value of Encore Wire Corporation due
to reduced demand attributable to the residential slowdown and declining margins
needed to be competitive; a $19,637,713 decline in the value of Palm Harbor
Homes, Inc. due to the deterioration of the manufactured housing market; and a
$9,878,840 decline in the value of Alamo Group, Inc. due to inventory shortages
that are back logged and excessive startup expenses for the manufacturing of its
sweeper line.

Portfolio Investments

During the quarter ended December 31, 2007, we made additional investments
of $817,186 in an existing portfolio company.

We have agreed, subject to certain conditions, to invest up to $6,029,760
in three portfolio companies.

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


Financial Liquidity and Capital Resources

At December 31, 2007, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately
$31.9 million. Pursuant to Small Business Administration (SBA) regulations, cash
and cash equivalents of $4.6 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 SBA's approval of its
credit application, CSVC would be entitled to borrow up to $16.4 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 39 years. Retention of
future gains is viewed as an important source of funds to sustain our investment
activity. Approximately $61.0 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 Lifemark
Group, 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 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 on our net
asset value.

Our investment in portfolio securities includes fixed-rate debt securities
which totaled $9,000,000 at December 31, 2007, equivalent to 1.8% 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.



20
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 stocks 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 stocks 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

An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the
participation of our Management, including the President and Controller, 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 President and Controller concluded that
our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to a material
weakness in the Company's internal control over financial reporting ("ICFR")
disclosed in "Item 9A. Controls and Procedures" of the Company's Annual Report
on Form 10-K/A, for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007. The following material
weakness is the basis for our conclusion:

o We did not maintain an adequate process to assess and determine the
probability of the Company maintaining its qualifying status as a RIC
subject to subchapter M of the IRC over the next twelve months at any
given quarter.

To address this material weakness, Management will add a formal evaluation
to consider whether it is probable the company will not qualify as a RIC subject
to Subchapter M of the IRC over the next 12 months at any given quarter.
Additionally, the Company will review its investment gains quarterly and
calculate the tax impact on those gains it will retain, however, they will only
record the tax liability at the last day of the tax year. Management will also
determine, based on materiality, any footnote disclosure that may be required
during the interim periods. Furthermore, Management will review and assess
temporary and permanent differences for reclassification to "additional capital"
at each tax year end. When considered necessary by Management, an independent
attorney or accountant with requisite knowledge of investment company taxation
will be consulted in order to provide necessary guidance. Accordingly,
Management believes that the financial statements included in this report fairly
represent in all material respects the Company's financial position, results of
operations and cash flows for the periods presented. There were no changes in
the Company's internal control over financial reporting that have materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our ICFR during the
fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2007.

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 Capital Southwest Venture
Corporation, 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 its Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and
the directors who signed its registration statement with the Securities and
Exchange Commission in connection with its December 7, 2006 initial public
offering ("IPO"), and its 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.

Four similar suits were also filed in September and October 2007 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. 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.

We believe that the plaintiffs' claims are without merit, we deny the
allegations in the complaints, and we intend to vigorously defend the lawsuits.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes to our risk factors as disclosed in
Item 1A, "Risk Factors", in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year
