                        Notes to Portfolio of Investments


(a)  The  percentages  in the  "Equity"  column  express  the  potential  equity
interests held by Capital  Southwest  Corporation and Capital  Southwest Venture
Corporation (together, the "Company") in each issuer. Each percentage represents
the amount of the  issuer's  common  stock the Company  owns or can acquire as a
percentage of the issuer's total outstanding common shares, plus shares reserved
for all outstanding warrants, convertible securities and employee stock options.
The symbol "<1%" indicates that the Company holds a potential equity interest of
less than one percent.

(b) 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  March  31,  2001,  restricted  securities  represented
approximately 90% of the value of the consolidated investment portfolio.

(c) Under the  valuation  policy of the  Company,  unrestricted  securities  are
valued at the closing  sale price for listed  securities  and at the closing bid
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.

(d) Agreements  between certain issuers and the Company provide that the issuers
will bear  substantially  all costs in connection with the disposition of common
stocks,  including those costs involved in registration under the Securities Act
of 1933 but excluding underwriting discounts and commissions.  These agreements,
which cover common stocks owned at March 31, 2001 and common stocks which may be
acquired  thereafter  through  exercise of warrants and conversion of debentures
and  preferred  stocks,  apply to  restricted  securities  of all issuers in the
investment  portfolio of the Company except securities of the following issuers,
which are not  obligated to bear  registration  costs:  Humac  Company,  Skylawn
Corporation and The Whitmore Manufacturing Company.

(e) The  descriptions  of the companies and ownership  percentages  shown in the
portfolio of investments were obtained from published  reports and other sources
believed to be reliable,  are  supplemental and are not covered by the report of
independent  auditors.  Acquisition  dates  indicated  are  the  dates  specific
securities  were acquired.  Certain  securities were received in exchange for or
upon conversion or exercise of other securities previously acquired.

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


1.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     Capital Southwest  Corporation  ("CSC") is a business  development  company
subject  to  regulation  under  the  Investment  Company  Act of  1940.  Capital
Southwest Venture Corporation  ("CSVC"), a wholly-owned  subsidiary of CSC, is a
Federal licensee under the Small Business  Investment Act of 1958. The following
is a summary of significant  accounting  policies followed in the preparation of
the consolidated financial statements of CSC and CSVC (together, the "Company"):

     Principles of  Consolidation.  The consolidated  financial  statements have
been prepared on the value method of accounting  in accordance  with  accounting
principles  generally  accepted in the United  States of America for  investment
companies.  All significant  intercompany  accounts and  transactions  have been
eliminated in consolidation.

     Cash and Cash Equivalents. All temporary cash investments having a maturity
of three months or less when purchased are considered to be cash equivalents.

     Investments.  Investments are stated at market or fair value  determined by
the Board of Directors as described in the Notes to Portfolio of Investments and
Note 2 below. The average cost method is used in determining cost of investments
sold.  Investments are recorded on a trade date basis.  Dividends are recognized
on the ex-dividend date and interest income is accrued daily.

     Segment  Information.  The Company  operates  and manages its business in a
singular  segment.  As an investment  company,  the Company invests in portfolio
companies  in  various  industries  and  geographic  areas as  presented  in the
portfolio of investments.

2.   Valuation of Investments

     The consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2001 and 2000 include
securities  valued  at  $285,059,091  (90%  of the  value  of  the  consolidated
investment  portfolio) and  $272,736,962  (84% of the value of the  consolidated
investment  portfolio),  respectively,  whose values have been determined by the
Board of  Directors  in the  absence of  readily  ascertainable  market  values.
Because  of the  inherent  uncertainty  of  valuation,  these  values may differ
significantly  from the values that would have been used had a ready  market for
the securities existed, and the differences could be material.

3.   Income taxes

     For the tax years ended  December  31,  2000,  1999 and 1998,  CSC and CSVC
qualified  to  be  taxed  as  regulated   investment  companies  ("RICs")  under
applicable  provisions of the Internal  Revenue Code. As RICs, CSC and CSVC must
distribute  at least 90% of their  taxable  net  investment  income  (investment
company  taxable  income) and may either  distribute or retain their taxable net
realized gain on investments  (capital gains).  Both CSC and CSVC intend to meet
the  applicable  qualifications  to be taxed as RICs in future  years;  however,
either company's ability to meet certain portfolio diversification  requirements
of RICs in future years may not be controllable by such company.

     No material  provision was made for Federal  income taxes on the investment
company taxable income of CSC and CSVC for the 2001, 2000 and 1999 fiscal years.
Such income was  distributed to  shareholders  in the form of cash dividends for
which CSC and CSVC  receive a tax  deduction.  With  respect  to net  investment
income,  the income tax expense for each of the three years ended March 31, 2001
includes a deferred tax provision related to the net pension benefit.

     CSC and CSVC may not qualify or elect to be taxed as RICs in future  years.
Therefore,  consolidated  deferred  Federal  income  taxes  of  $79,310,000  and
$83,151,000 have been provided on net unrealized  appreciation of investments of
$228,315,863  and  $238,626,698 at March 31, 2001 and 2000,  respectively.  Such
appreciation is not included in taxable income until  realized.  Deferred income
taxes on net unrealized  appreciation  of investments  have been provided at the
then currently  effective maximum Federal corporate tax rate on capital gains of
35% at March 31, 2001 and 2000.

4.   Notes Payable

     The note  payable to bank at March 31,  2001 was an  unsecured  $15,000,000
revolving line of credit, of which $5,000,000 had been drawn. The revolving line
of credit  bears  interest at the bank's base rate less .50% or LIBOR plus 1.25%
and matures on July 31, 2002.  The note payable to bank at March 31, 2000 was an
unsecured  note with  interest  payable  at 6.48%.  The note was paid in full on
April 3, 2000.

     The notes payable to portfolio  companies were demand  promissory  notes to
Skylawn Corporation and The Whitmore Manufacturing Company with interest payable
at prime minus 2.25%.  Interest expense on these notes were $421,870 in 2001 and
$14,218 in 2000.

5.   Subordinated Debenture

     The subordinated  debenture of $5,000,000 outstanding at March 31, 2001 and
2000 is payable to others and  guaranteed by the Small  Business  Administration
("SBA"), bears interest at 8.0% and matures June 1, 2002.

6.   Employee Stock Option Plan

     Under the 1984  Incentive  Stock  Option Plan,  options to purchase  42,000
shares of the Company's  common stock at $35.625 per share (the adjusted  market
price at the time of grant) were  outstanding  and exercisable at March 31, 2001
and expire in 2003. The 1984 Incentive Stock Option Plan expired in 1994.

     Under the 1999  Stock  Option  Plan,  140,000  shares of common  stock were
reserved  for issuance to  employees  and  officers of the  Company.  Options to
purchase  32,000  shares at a price of $77.00 per share (the market price at the
time of grant) and 6,000  shares at $84.70  were  granted  during the year ended
March 31, 2000 and remain outstanding at March 31, 2001, thus leaving a total of
102,000 options  available for future grant.  Such options expire ten years from
the  date  of  grant  and  are  generally  exercisable  on or  after  the  first
anniversary  of the date of grant in eight  annual  installments.  At March  31,
2001, 7,750 shares were exercisable.

     At March 31, 2001 and 2000,  the  dilution of net assets per share  arising
from options outstanding was not material.

7.   Employee Stock Ownership Plan

     The  Company  and one of its  wholly-owned  portfolio  companies  sponsor a
qualified  employee  stock  ownership  plan ("ESOP") in which certain  employees
participate. Contributions to the plan, which are invested in Company stock, are
made at the  discretion of the Company's  Board of  Directors.  A  participant's
interest  in  contributions  to the ESOP fully  vests after five years of active
service.  During the three years ended March 31, the Company made  contributions
to the ESOP,  which were charged  against net investment  income,  of $42,997 in
2001, $43,862 in 2000 and $35,079 in 1999.

8.   Retirement Plans

     The Company sponsors a qualified  defined benefit pension plan which covers
its employees and employees of certain of its wholly-owned  portfolio companies.
The following  information  about the plan  represents  amounts and  information
related to the  Company's  participation  in the plan and is presented as though
the Company  sponsored a  single-employer  plan.  Benefits are based on years of
service and an average of the highest  five  consecutive  years of  compensation
during the last ten years of  employment.  The funding  policy of the plan is to
contribute  annual  amounts  that are  currently  deductible  for tax  reporting
purposes.  No  contribution  was made to the plan  during the three  years ended
March 31, 2001.

     The  following  tables set forth the plan's  benefit  obligations  and fair

March 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 of $151,751, $141,463 and $150,555,  respectively,
are offset against the net pension benefit from the qualified plan.

     The  weighted-average   discount  rate  and  rate  of  increase  in  future
compensation  levels used in  determining  the  actuarial  present  value of the
projected  benefit  obligation  were 6.5% and 5.0%,  respectively,  at March 31,
2001,  March 31, 2000 and March 31, 1999. The expected  long-term rate of return
used to project  estimated  earnings on plan assets for the  qualified  plan was
7.5% for the years ended March 31, 2001 and March 31, 2000 and 8.5% for the year
ended March 31, 1999.  The  calculations  also assume  retirement at age 65, the
normal retirement age.

Independent Auditors' Report


The Board of Directors and Shareholders
   Capital Southwest Corporation:

     We have  audited the  accompanying  consolidated  statements  of  financial
condition of Capital  Southwest  Corporation and subsidiary as of March 31, 2001
and 2000,  including the portfolio of  investments as of March 31, 2001, and the
related consolidated  statements of operations,  changes in net assets, and cash
flows for each of the years in the  three-year  period  ended March 31, 2001 and
the  selected  per share data and ratios for each of the years in the  five-year
period ended March 31, 2001.  These financial  statements and per share data and
ratios are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is
to  express  an opinion  on these  financial  statements  and per share data and
ratios based on our audits.

     We conducted our audits in accordance  with  auditing  standards  generally
accepted in the United States of America.  Those standards  require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements and per share data and ratios are free of material  misstatement.  An
audit includes examining,  on a test basis,  evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included verification of
securities  owned  as of  March  31,  2001  and  2000,  by  examination  of such
securities  held  by  the  custodian.  An  audit  also  includes  assessing  the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well
as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

     In our opinion the consolidated financial statements and selected per share
data and ratios referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,  the
financial  position of Capital Southwest  Corporation and subsidiary as of March
31,  2001 and 2000,  the results of their  operations,  the changes in their net
assets and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended
March 31, 2001, and the selected per share data and ratios for each of the years
in the  five-year  period ended March 31, 2001, in  conformity  with  accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

                     Management's Discussion and Analysis of
                  Financial Condition and Results of Operations


Results of Operations

     The  composite  measure  of  the  Company's  financial  performance  in the
Consolidated  Statements of Operations is captioned "Decrease in net assets from
operations"  and  consists  of three  elements.  The  first  is "Net  investment
income",  which is the  difference  between the Company's  income from interest,
dividends  and fees and its 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,  net of applicable
income  tax  expense.  The third  element  is the "Net  decrease  in  unrealized
appreciation  of  investments",  which is the net  change in the  market or fair
value of the Company's investment portfolio, compared with stated cost, net of a
decrease in deferred  income taxes which would become  payable if the unrealized
appreciation  were  realized  through  the  sale  or  other  disposition  of the
investment  portfolio.  It should be noted that the "Net realized gain (loss) on
investments"  and "Net 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 being "unrealized"
to  being  "realized."  Conversely,  when a loss is  realized  on a  depreciated
portfolio security, an increase in net unrealized appreciation occurs.

Net Investment Income

     The  Company's  principal  objective  is to achieve  capital  appreciation.
Therefore,  a significant  portion of the investment  portfolio is structured to
maximize the potential  return from equity  participation  and provides  minimal
current  yield in the form of interest  or  dividends.  The  Company  also earns
interest  income from the  short-term  investment of cash funds,  and the annual
amount of such  income  varies  based upon the average  level of funds  invested
during the year and fluctuations in short-term  interest rates. During the three
years  ended  March 31, the Company had  interest  income  from  temporary  cash
investments  of $249,000 in 2001,  $599,000  in 2000 and  $476,000 in 1999.  The
Company also receives management fees from its wholly-owned  portfolio companies
which  aggregated  $458,400 in each of the years ended March 31, 2001, March 31,
2000 and March 31,  1999.  During the three  years  ended  March 31,  2001,  the
Company recorded dividend income from the following sources:

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

     Total operating expenses,  excluding interest expense, decreased by $47,073
or 4.6% and by $498,967 or 32.7% during the years ended March 31, 2001 and 2000,
respectively.  Due to the nature of its business,  the majority of the Company's
operating  expenses are related to employee and  director  compensation,  office
expenses,  legal  and  accounting  fees and the net  pension  benefit.  Interest
expense  increased by $688,075  and by $40,088  during the years ended March 31,
2001 and 2000, respectively, due to increased borrowings.

Net Realized Gain (Loss) on Investments

     Net realized loss on investments  was $3,230,987  (after income tax benefit
of  $1,894,506)  during the year ended March 31, 2001,  compared  with a gain of
$6,019,892  (after income tax expense of  $3,211,550)  during 2000 and a gain of
$994,949 (after income tax expense of $535,742) during 1999. Management does not
attempt to maintain a comparable  level of realized gains from year to year, but
instead  attempts to maximize  total  investment  portfolio  appreciation.  This
strategy often dictates the long-term holding of portfolio securities in pursuit
of increased values and increased unrealized appreciation,  but may at opportune
times dictate  realizing  gains  through the  disposition  of certain  portfolio
investments.


<PAGE>

Net Decrease in Unrealized Appreciation of Investments

     For the three  years  ended  March 31, the  Company  recorded a decrease in
unrealized  appreciation  of  investments  before  income taxes of  $10,310,835,
$38,071,790 and $63,433,545 in 2001, 2000 and 1999,  respectively.  As explained
in the first paragraph of this discussion and analysis, the realization of gains
or  losses  results  in a  corresponding  decrease  or  increase  in  unrealized
appreciation  of  investments.   Set  forth  in  the  following  table  are  the
significant  increases  and  decreases in  unrealized  appreciation  (before the
related  change in deferred  income taxes and  excluding  the effect of gains or
losses realized during the year) by portfolio company for securities held at the
end of each year.

     A description of the investments listed above and other material components
of the  investment  portfolio  is included  elsewhere  in this report  under the
caption "Portfolio of Investments - March 31, 2001."

Deferred Taxes on Unrealized Appreciation of Investments

     The Company  provides for deferred  Federal  income taxes on net unrealized
appreciation  of  investments.  Such taxes would become  payable at such time as
unrealized  appreciation  is realized  through the sale or other  disposition of
those  components  of the  investment  portfolio  which would  result in taxable
transactions.  At March 31, 2001  consolidated  deferred Federal income taxes of
$79,310,000  were provided on net  unrealized  appreciation  of  investments  of
$228,315,863  compared  with deferred  taxes of  $83,151,000  on net  unrealized
appreciation of  $238,626,698 at March 31, 2000.  Deferred income taxes at March
31, 2001 and 2000 were provided at the then currently  effective maximum Federal
corporate tax rate on capital gains of 35%.

Portfolio Investments

     During the year ended March 31, 2001, the Company  invested  $15,922,079 in
various  portfolio  securities listed elsewhere in this report under the caption
"Portfolio   Changes  During  the  Year,"  which  also  lists  dispositions  and
write-offs of portfolio  securities.  During the 2000 and 1999 fiscal years, the
Company invested a total of $21,924,423 and $13,170,132, respectively.

Financial Liquidity and Capital Resources

     At March  31,  2001,  the  Company  had cash and cash  equivalents  of $1.1
million. Pursuant to Small Business Administration ("SBA") regulations, cash and
cash equivalents of $0.1 million held by CSVC may not be transferred or advanced
to CSC 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 $58.3  million in  addition  to the $5  million  presently  outstanding.  The
Company  also has an  unsecured  $15,000,000  revolving  line of  credit  from a
commercial bank, of which  $10,000,000 was available at March 31, 2001. 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,  the
Company  has  elected  to retain  all gains  realized  during the past 33 years.
Retention of future  gains is viewed as an important  source of funds to sustain
the Company's investment activity.  Approximately $30.9 million of the Company's
investment portfolio is represented by unrestricted  publicly-traded securities,
which have an  ascertainable  market  value and  represent  a primary  source of
liquidity.

<PAGE>

     Funds to be used by the Company for operating or investment purposes may be
transferred  in the form of  dividends,  management  fees or loans from  Skylawn
Corporation,  The RectorSeal Corporation and The Whitmore Manufacturing Company,
wholly-owned  portfolio  companies  of the  Company,  to  the  extent  of  their
available cash reserves and borrowing capacities.

     Management  believes that the Company's cash and cash  equivalents and cash
available from other sources  described  above are adequate to meet its expected
requirements.  Consistent  with  the  long-term  strategy  of the  Company,  the
disposition of investments  from time to time may also be an important source of
funds for future investment activities.

Impact of Inflation

     The Company does not believe that its  business is  materially  affected by
inflation,  other than the impact  which  inflation  may have on the  securities
markets,  the valuations of business  enterprises  and the  relationship of such
valuations to underlying earnings,  all of which will influence the value of the
Company's investments.

Risks

     Pursuant to Section  64(b)(1)  of the  Investment  Company  Act of 1940,  a
business  development  company is required to describe the risk factors involved
in an  investment  in the  securities  of such  company due to the nature of the
company's investment portfolio. Accordingly the Company states that:

     The  Company's  objective  is  to  achieve  capital   appreciation  through
investments in businesses  believed to have  favorable  growth  potential.  Such
businesses are often  undercapitalized  small  companies  which lack  management
depth and have not yet attained profitability. The Company's venture investments
often  include  securities  which do not yield  interest  or  dividends  and are
subject  to legal or  contractual  restrictions  on resale,  which  restrictions
adversely affect the liquidity and marketability of such securities.

     Because of the speculative nature of the Company's investments and the lack
of any market for the securities initially purchased by the Company,  there is a
significantly greater risk of loss than is the case with traditional  investment
securities. The high-risk,  long-term nature of the Company's venture investment
activities  may  prevent  shareholders  of  the  Company  from  achieving  price
appreciation and dividend distributions.
