</TABLE>


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


(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, 2008, restricted securities
represented approximately 91.1% of the value of the consolidated investment
portfolio.

(b) Investment Valuation Policy
Our investments are carried at fair value in accordance with 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.

We adopted SFAS No. 157 on April 1, 2008 (see footnote 1 in "Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements," page 13). 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.



11
Notes to Portfolio of Investments
(continued)


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 consider 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 are valued 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 apply such
formulas, the market price of the stock is usually discounted to reflect the
fact that the stock is restricted and the calculated value is 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 (i) the
warrant expires within six months, (ii) the market price of the stock
(discounted) is less than one-half of the exercise price of the warrant. Or
(iii) the market price of the stock (discounted) is more than two times the
amount of the exercise price of the warrant.

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 ("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, 2008. 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.

Fair Value Measurements. The Company adopted SFAS No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements ("SFAS 157"), 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. 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 to sell 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.

2. 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.

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:

o 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 for which we do not have a controlling
interest. 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.

o 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, 2008.

o 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 12 for the investment policy used to
determine the fair value of these investments.

The following fair value hierarchy table sets forth our investment
portfolio by level as of June 30, 2008 (in millions):

3. 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 quarter ended
June 30, 2008, we recognized compensation expense of $87,989.

As of June 30, 2008, the total remaining unrecognized compensation cost
related to non-vested stock options was $1,707,846, which will be amortized over
the weighted-average service period of approximately 5.7 years.

4. 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, 2008, 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 June
30, 2008:

Number Weighted-Average

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(continued)

At June 30, 2008, the range of exercise prices and weighted-average
remaining contractual life of outstanding options was $65.00 to $152.98 and 5.66
years, respectively. No options were exercised during the three months ended
June 30, 2008.

At June 30, 2008, the number of options exercisable was 13,445 and the
weighted-average exercise price of those options was $83.17.

6. Share Repurchase Plan

On June 12, 2008, the Company announced that its Board of Directors
authorized a share repurchase plan, which allows for the repurchase of up to 10
percent (or 388,915 shares) of its Common Stock at prices not above the lower of
the net asset value per share of its Common Stock, or prices prevailing in the
over-the-counter market at the time of such purchases. The Company anticipates
that share purchases will be made from time to time, depending upon market
conditions. Shares may be purchased on the open market, including block
repurchases, or through privately negotiated transactions. The Company does not
intend to purchase any shares from its directors, officers or other affiliates.
The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any specific
number of shares and may be discontinued at any time. The Company intends to
fund the purchases with available cash and or the sale of marketable securities
readily available for sale. The repurchase program is expected to be in effect
through December 10, 2008, or until the approved number of shares has been
repurchased. During the quarter ended June 30, 2008, the Company purchased a
total of 6,485 shares of its Common Stock on the open market for $724,479 at an
average price of $111.72 per share.

7. Subsequent Events

In July 2008, Gary L. Martin was named Chairman of the Board, Tracy L.
Morris was named Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer, and William R. Thomas
III was named Assistant Vice President.

In July 2008, the Company purchased 132,727 shares of its Common Stock
on the open market for $15,141,572 at an average price of $114.08, which
resulted in cummulative year-to-date purchases of 139,212 shares or 35.8% of the
388,915 shares approved by its Board of Directors on June 12, 2008.

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 financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15,
2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has adopted
this statement on a prospective basis beginning in the quarter ended June 30,
2008. Adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company's
consolidated financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2008. However
the impact on its consolidated financial statements for the periods subsequent
to the period of adoption cannot be determined at this time as it will be
influenced by the estimates of fair value for those periods, the number and
amount of investments the Company originates, acquires or exits, and the effect
of any additional guidance or any changes in the interpretation of this
statement.

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 did not elect the fair value option
provisions upon adoption of SFAS 159 on April 1, 2008.

In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position ("FSP") SFAS
157-2, "Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157" (FSP 157-2), which defers the
effective date of SFAS 157 to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008,
and interim periods within those fiscal years, for all nonfinancial assets and
nonfinancial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at
fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually).
We are currently evaluating the impact of our adoption of FSP 157-2 effective
April 1, 2009 on our consolidated financial statements.

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

Net asset value at June 30, 2008 was $581,836,149, equivalent to
$149.85 per share. Assuming reinvestment of all dividends and tax credits on
retained long-term capital gains, the June 30, 2008 net asset value reflects a
decrease of 21.2% during the past twelve months.

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

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 $349,852 for the three months ended June 30, 2008
decreased from $564,687 in the year-ago period due to an decrease in interest
rates. During the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, we recorded
dividend income from the following sources:

The RectorSeal Corporation (15,000,000) 10,850,000

During the three months ended June 30, 2008, the value of our
investment in The RectorSeal Corporation was decreased by $15,000,000 due to
decreased sales resulting from slow downs in the residential and commercial
construction segments of its business.

Offsetting the loss at RectorSeal during the three months ended June
30, 2008, was a $14,303,625 increase in the value of Encore Wire Corporation and
a $3,927,561 increase in the value of Palm Harbor Homes, Inc. due to increases
in their respective stock prices.



18
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
(continued)

Portfolio Investments

During the quarter ended June 30, 2008, we made additional investments
of $109,541 in an existing portfolio company.

We have agreed, subject to certain conditions, to invest up to
$19,318,963 in five portfolio companies.

Financial Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 2008, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately
$30.0 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 $17.0 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 $48.7 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 June 30, 2008, equivalent to 1.6% 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.



19
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

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 President and Chairman of the Board 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 President and Chairman of the Board 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 President and Chairman of the
Board and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions
regarding such required disclosure.

During the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2008, 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.

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.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings
(continued)

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. 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.
