(a) Equity

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 stock, plus stock reserved for all warrants, convertible securities and employee stock options. The symbol “<1%” indicates that the Company holds a potential equity interest of less than 1%.

(b) Investments

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, 2010, restricted securities represented approximately 95.9% of the value of the consolidated investment portfolio.

Our investments are carried at fair value in accordance with the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ (ASC) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. 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 FASB ASC Topic 820 on April 1, 2008 (see footnote 1 in “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements,” page 18). ASC Topic 820 provides a framework for measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities along with 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. ASC Topic 820 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.

ASC Topic 820 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 ASC Topic 820, 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 ASC, it is assumed that the reporting entity has access to the market as of the measurement date.

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. Issuers whose debt securities are judged to be of poor quality and doubtful collectability may instead be valued by assigning major percentage discounts commensurate with the quality of such debt securities. Debt securities may also be valued based on the resulting value from the sale of the business at the estimated fair market value.

Partnership Interests, Preferred Equity 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 considers 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. Investments, in certain entities that calculate net asset value per share (or its equivalent) and for which fair market value is not readily determinable, are valued using the net asset value per share (or its equivalent, such as member units or ownership interest in partners’ capital to which a proportionate share of net assets is attributed) of the investment.

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 applying 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.

(d) Agreements Between Certain Issuers and the Company

Agreements between certain issuers and the Company provide that that issuer will bear substantially all costs in connection with the disposition of common stock, including those costs involved in registration under the Securities Act of 1933, but excluding underwriting discounts and commissions. These agreements cover common stock owned at June 30, 2010 and common stock which may be acquired thereafter through the exercise of warrants and conversion of debentures and preferred stock. They 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 and The Whitmore Manufacturing Company.

(e) Descriptions and Ownership Percentages

The descriptions of the companies and ownership percentages shown in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments were obtained from published reports and other sources believed to be reliable, are supplemental and are not covered by the report of our independent registered public accounting firm. Acquisition dates indicated are the dates specific securities were acquired, which may differ from the original investment dates. Certain securities were received in exchange for or upon conversion or exercise of other securities previously acquired.

ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Organization

Capital Southwest Corporation (“CSC” or the “Company”) was organized as a Texas corporation on April 19, 1961. Until September 1969, we operated as a licensee under the Small Business Investment Act of 1958. At that time, we transferred to our wholly-owned subsidiary, Capital Southwest Venture Corporation ("CSVC") certain assets and our license as a small business investment company ("SBIC"). CSVC is a closed-end, non-diversified investment company of the management type registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). Prior to March 30, 1988, we were registered as a closed-end, non-diversified investment company under the 1940 Act. On that date, we elected to become a business development company subject to the provisions of the 1940 Act, as amended by the Small Business Incentive Act of 1980. Because we wholly own CSVC, the portfolios of both entities are referred to collectively as “our,” “we” and “us.” Capital Southwest Management Company (“CSMC”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of CSC, is the management company for CSC and CSVC. CSMC generally incurs all normal operating and administrative expenses, including but not limited to salaries and related benefits, rent, equipment and other administrative costs required for its day-to-day operations.

Our portfolio is a composite of companies in which we have major interests as well as a number of developing companies and marketable securities of established publicly-owned companies. We make available significant managerial assistance to the companies in which we invest and believe that providing material assistance to such investee companies is critical to their business development activities. CSMC receives a monthly fixed fee for their management services provided to certain of its control portfolio companies.

Basis of Presentation

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 Form10-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, 2010, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). 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.

Portfolio Investment Classification

We classify our investments in accordance with the requirements of the 1940 Act. Under the 1940 Act, “Control Investments” are defined as investments in which we own more than 25% of the voting securities or have rights to maintain greater than 50% of the board representation; “Affiliated Investments” are defined as investments in which we own between 5% and 25% of the voting securities; and “Non-Control/Non-Affiliated Investments” are defined as investments that are neither “Control Investments” nor “Affiliated Investments.”

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements of CSC, CSVC and CSMC.

Accounting Standards Codification The Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification™ (ASC) became effective on July 1, 2009. At that date, the ASC became FASB’s officially recognized source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) applicable to all public and non-public non-governmental entities, superseding existing FASB, American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), Emerging Issues Task Forces (EIFT) and related literature. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under the authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. All other accounting literature is considered non-authoritative. The switch to ASC affects the way companies refer to U.S. GAAP in financial statements and accounting policies. Citing particular content in the ASC involves specifying the unique numeric path to the content through the Topic, Subtopic, Section and Paragraph structure.

Fair Value Measurements The Company adopted FASB ASC Topic 820 on April 1, 2008. ASC Topic 820 (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, ASC Topic 820 does not eliminate practicability exceptions that exist in accounting pronouncements amended by this Statement when measuring fair value.

Prior to ASC Topic 820, 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). FASB ASC Topic 820 clarifies the definition of fair value as the price that would be received from the sale of 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, we use valuation techniques that place greater reliance on observable inputs and less reliance on unobservable inputs. Due to the inherent uncertainty in the valuation process, our estimate of fair value may differ materially from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the securities existed. In addition, changes in the market environment, portfolio company performance and other events may occur over the lives of the investments may cause the gains or losses ultimately realized on these investments to be materially different than the valuations currently assigned. We determine the fair value of each individual investment and recorded changes in fair value as unrealized appreciation or depreciation.

We believe our investments at June 30, 2010 and 2009 approximate fair value as of those dates based on the market in which we operate and other conditions in existence at those reporting periods.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(continued)

Investments Investments are stated at market or fair value determined by our Board of Directors as described in Notes to the Consolidated Schedule 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.

Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.

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 Consolidated Schedule of Investments.

Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Interest and Dividend Income Interest and dividend income is recorded on an accrual basis to the extent amounts are expected to be collected. Dividend income is recorded at the ex-dividend date for marketable securities and restricted securities. In accordance with our valuation policy, accrued interest and dividend income is evaluated periodically for collectability. When a debt or loan becomes 90 days or more past due, and if we otherwise do not expect the debtor to be able to service all of its debt or other obligations, we will generally establish a reserve against the interest income, thereby placing the loan or debt security’s status on non-accrual basis and cease to recognize interest income on that loan or debt security until the borrower has demonstrated the ability and intent to pay contractual amounts due. If a loan or debt security’s status significantly improves regarding ability to service debt or other obligations, it will be restored to accrual basis.

Federal Income Taxes CSC and CSVC have elected and intend to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) necessary to qualify as regulated investment companies (RICs). By meeting these requirements, they will not be subject to corporate federal income taxes on ordinary income distributed to shareholders. In order to comply as a RIC, each company is required to timely distribute to its shareholders at least 90% of investment taxable income, as defined by the Code, each year. Taxable income generally differs from net income for financial reporting purposes due to temporary and permanent differences in the recognition of income and expenses. Taxable income generally excludes net unrealized appreciation or depreciation, as investment gains and losses are not included in taxable income until they are realized. The Company’s policy is to retain and pay the 35% corporate tax on realized long-term capital gains. For investment companies that qualify as RICs under the IRC, federal income taxes payable on security gains that the company elects to retain are accrued only on the last day of our tax year, December 31. Therefore, CSC and CSVC made no provision for federal income taxes on such gains and net investment income in their financial statements. See Note 3 for further discussion.

CSMC, a wholly owned subsidiary of CSC, is not a RIC and is required to pay taxes at the current corporate rate.

We account for interest and penalties as part of operating expenses. There were no interest or penalties incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.

Deferred Taxes The Company sponsors a qualified defined benefit pension plan which covers its employees and employees of certain of its controlled affiliates. Deferred taxes related to the qualified defined benefit pension plan are recorded as incurred.

Stock-Based Compensation We account for our stock-based compensation using the fair value method, as prescribed by ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. Accordingly, we recognize stock-based 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. See Note 4 for further discussion.

Defined Pension Benefits and Other Postretirement Plans We record annual amounts relating to defined benefit pension plan based on calculations, which include various actuarial assumptions such as discount rates and assumed rates of return depending on the pension plan. Material changes in pension costs may occur in the future due to changes in the discount rate, changes in the expected long-term rate of return, changes in level of contributions to the plans and other factors. The funded status is the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the benefit obligation. We recognize changes in the funded status of postretirement defined benefit plans in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities in the year in which the changes occur and measure postretirement defined benefit plan assets and obligations as of the date of the employer’s fiscal year-end. We presently use March 31as the measurement date for all of our postretirement defined benefit plans.

Concentration of Risk We place our idle cash in financial institutions, and at times, such balances may be in excess of the federally insured limits.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

ASU No. 2009-05 – Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value. In August 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No.2009-05, “Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value” (“ASU 2009-05”), which amends ASC 820-10. ASU 2009-05 provides clarification in circumstances when a quoted price in an active market for an identical liability is not available. In such instances, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value utilizing a valuation technique that uses (1) the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset; (2) the quoted prices for similar liabilities when traded as an asset; or (3) another valuation technique that is consistent with the existing principles of ASC Topic 820, such as an income or market approach. ASU 2009-05 clarifies that when estimating the fair value of a liability, a reporting entity is not required to include a separate input or adjustment to other inputs relating to the existence of a restriction that prevents the transfer of the liability. Additionally, ASU 2009-05 clarifies that both a quoted price in an active market for an identical liability at the measurement date and the quoted price for an identical liability when traded as an asset in an active market, when no adjustment to the quoted price of the asset are required, are Level 1 fair value measurements. This ASU became effective for us for our fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 and did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

ASU No. 2009-12 – Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Per Share (or Its Equivalent). In September 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-12 “Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Per Share (or Its Equivalent),” which provides further guidance for measuring the fair value of investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value per share or its equivalent; provided the investment does not have a readily determined fair value and the net asset value is calculated in a manner that is consistent with ASC Topic 946-Financial Services-Investment Companies, as of the reporting entities’ measurement date, including the measurement of all or substantially all of the underlying investments of the investee in accordance with Topic 820. In such instances, a reporting entity is permitted to estimate the fair value of an investment using the net asset value per share. This ASU became effective for us for our fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 and did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(continued)

ASU No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures About Fair Value Measurements. In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06 “Improving Disclosures About Fair Value Measurements,” which adds new requirements for disclosures about transfers into and out of Level 1 and 2 and separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements relating to Level 3 measurements. It also clarifies existing fair value disclosures about the level of disaggregation, inputs and valuation techniques. ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. Adoption of ASU 2010-06 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial condition and results of operation.

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 ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”. We use judgment and consider factors specific to the investment in determining the significance of an input to a fair value measurement. While management believes our valuation methodologies are appropriate and consistent with market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy and investments that fall into each of the levels are described below:

Level 1: Investments whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. We use Level 1 inputs for publicly traded unrestricted securities. 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.

Level 2: Investments whose values are based on observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument in non-active markets, quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets and similar data. We did not value any of our investments using Level 2 inputs as of June 30, 2010.

Level 3: Investments whose values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. These inputs reflect management’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the investment. We use Level 3 inputs for measuring the fair value of substantially all of our investments. See “Notes to Consolidated Schedule of Investments” (c) on page 15 for the investment policy used to determine the fair value of these investments.

As required by ASC 820, when the inputs used to measure a fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement may include inputs that are observable (Levels 1 and 2) and unobservable (Level 3). We conduct reviews of fair value hierarchy on a quarterly basis. Changes in the observability of valuation inputs may result in a reclassification of certain assets.

3. Income Taxes

We operate to qualify as a RIC under Subchapter M of the IRC. In order to qualify as a RIC, we must annually distribute at least 90% of our taxable ordinary income, based on our tax year, to our shareholders in a timely manner. Ordinary income includes net short-term capital gains but excludes net long-term capital gains. A RIC is not subject to federal income tax on the portion of its ordinary income and long-term capital gains that are distributed to its shareholders, including “deemed distributions” discussed below. As permitted by the Code, a RIC can designate dividends paid in the subsequent tax year as dividends of current year ordinary income and net long-term 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. We have distributed or intend to distribute sufficient dividends to eliminate taxable income for our completed tax years. If we fail to satisfy the 90% distribution requirement or otherwise fail to qualify as a RIC in any tax year, we would be subject to tax in such year on all of our taxable income, regardless of whether we made any distributions to our shareholders. 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 before the end of our tax year. We have a calendar tax year end of December 31.

We have distributed or intend to distribute sufficient dividends to eliminate taxable income for our completed tax years. If we fail to satisfy the 90% distribution requirement or otherwise fail to qualify as a RIC in any tax year, we would be subject to tax in such year on all of our taxable income, regardless of whether we made any distributions to our shareholders. For the tax year ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, we declared and paid ordinary dividends in the amount of $2,993,310 and $12,256,745, respectively.

Additionally, we are subject to a nondeductible federal excise tax of 4% if we do not distribute at least 98% of our investment company ordinary taxable income before the end of our tax year. For the tax years ended December 31, 2009, we distributed 100% of our investment company ordinary taxable income. As a result, we have made no tax provisions for income taxes on ordinary taxable income for the tax years ended December 31, 2009.

A RIC may elect to retain its long-term capital gains by designating them as “deemed distribution” to its shareholders and paying a federal tax rate of 35% on the long-term capital gains for the benefit of its shareholders. Shareholders then report their share of the retained capital gains on their income tax returns as if it had been received and report a tax credit for tax paid on their behalf by the RIC. Shareholders then add the amount of the “deemed distribution” net of such tax, to the basis of their shares. For the tax year ended December 31, 2009, we have estimated net long-term capital gains of $2,327,150 for tax purposes and $1,682,616 for book purposes, which we elected to retain and treat as deemed distributions to our shareholders. In order to make the election to retain capital gains, we incurred federal taxes on behalf of our shareholders in the amount of $814,502 for the tax year ended December 31, 2009. As of December 31, 2009, we did not have any undistributed long-term capital gains since they are being treated as distributed through the “deemed distribution.” Based on our June 10, 2010 sale of Lifemark Group to NorthStar Memorial Group LLC, we have recognized an estimated long-term capital gain of $74,015,364, net of $1,218,855 of transfer taxes incurred related to the transfer of real estate at sale, and expect to incur estimated federal taxes on behalf of our shareholders in the amount of $25,900,000 as a result of this transaction. As a RIC, our taxes are only recorded on the last day of our tax year, December 31; therefore we have not recognized the tax impact of this transaction in our consolidated financial statements. We will recognize and report taxes due from net long-term capital gains in our December 31, 2010 consolidated financial statements.

For the quarters ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, CSC and 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.

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. Employee Stock Option Plans

On July 20, 2009, shareholders approved the Company’s 2009 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2009 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 up to ten years from the date of grant and are generally exercisable on or after the first anniversary of the date of grant in five annual

installments. Options to purchase 38,750 shares at a price of $76.74 (market price at the time of the grant) were granted on October 19, 2009 and remain outstanding, thus leaving a total of 101,250 options available for future grant. Additionally, options to purchase 20,000 shares at a price of $95.79 (market price at time of the grant) were granted on March 22, 2010. All 58,750 shares remain outstanding, thus leaving 81,250 options available for grant under the plan.

The Company previously granted stock options under its 1999 Stock Option Plan (the “1999 Plan”), as approved by shareholders on July 19, 1999. The 1999 Plan expired on April 19, 2009. Options previously made under the Company’s 1999 Stock Option Plan and outstanding on July 20, 2009 continue in effect governed by provisions of the 1999 plan. All options granted under the 1999 Plan were granted at or above market price, generally expire up to 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.

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 quarters ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, we recognized compensation expense of $223,217 and $141,525, respectively.

As of June 30, 2010, the total remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options was $3,109,175, will be amortized over the weighted-average service period of approximately 3.8 years.

The following table summarizes the 2009 Plan and the 1999 Plan price per option at grant date using the Black-Scholes pricing model:

		Black-Scholes Pricing Model Assumptions
Date of Issuance	Weighted Average Fair Value	Expected Dividend Yield	Risk- Free Interest Rate	Expected Volatility	Expected Life (in years)
2009 Plan
March 22, 2010	$ 32.56	0.84%	2.43%	37.8%	5

6. Contingencies and Commitments

From time to time the Company may be liable for claims against its portfolio companies. We do not believe the effects of such claims would have a material impact on our results of operations and financial condition.

The Company has future commitments, subject to specific conditions, to invest up to $4,426,994 in six portfolio companies.

7.	Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated all subsequent events through August 5, 2010, the date of the filing of this Form 10-Q.

Forward-Looking Statements

The information contained herein may contain “forward-looking statements” based on our current expectations, assumptions and estimates about us and our industry. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. Words such as “believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “will,” “may,” “might,” “could,” “continue” and other similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. In addition, any statements that refer to expectations, projections or other characterizations of future events or circumstances are forward-looking statements. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements as a result of several factors more fully described in “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, and in our Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2010, filed with the SEC on May 28, 2010. The forward-looking statements made in this Form 10-Q related only to events as of the date on which the statements are made. You should read the following discussion in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related footnotes and other financial information included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2010. We undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason, even if new information becomes available or other events occur in the future.

Results of Operations

The composite measure of our financial performance in the Consolidated Statements of Operations is captioned “Increase 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 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 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 asset value at June 30, 2010 was $495,887,245, equivalent to $132.53 per share. Assuming reinvestment of all dividends and tax credits on retained long-term capital gains, the June 30, 2010 net asset value reflects an increase of 2.3% during the past three months as well as an increase of 18.0% during the past twelve months.

Net Investment Income

Interest income of $300,551 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 decreased slightly from $322,808 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 as a result of lower interest rates and reduced interest received from portfolio companies. During the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, we recorded dividend income from the following sources:

Net Realized Gain on Investments

During the three months ended June 30, 2010, we sold all of our shares of common stock of Lifemark Group to NorthStar Memorial Group LLC generating net cash proceeds of $74,822,145 and $3,703,619 of carved out real estate and assets, which were directly transferred to CapStar Holding Company. As a result, we recognized net realized gains on investments of $74,015,364 before taxes. We expect to incur an estimated $25,900,000 of income taxes to be paid on behalf of our shareholder, related to the Lifemark divestiture. Transfer taxes in the amount of $1,218,855 related to the transfer of real estate were deducted from the realized gain on transaction.

The RectorSeal Corporation		9,800,000			–

During the three months ended June 30, 2010, the value of our investments decreased by $65,742,614. This change in unrealized appreciation of investments includes a $66,489,600 reduction related to the aforementioned sale of Lifemark Group. Excluding the Lifemark Group unrealized appreciation at March 31, 2010, net unrealized appreciation of investments for the three months ended June 30, 2010 increased by $746,896. The largest increases in unrealized appreciation are attributable to RectorSeal Corporation, which increased $9,800,000 attributable to improved earnings; Alamo Group, which increased $3,537,875 due to an increase in their stock price and Extreme International, Inc., which increased $1,095,000 also due to improved earnings. Offsetting the increases were a $6,130,125 decrease in Encore Wire Corporation, due to a decrease in their stock price; a 4,132,758 decrease in CMI Holding Company, a $1,575,000 decrease in Atlantic Capital Bancshares, Inc., $454,925 decrease in All Components, Inc. and $1,400,000 decrease in Balco, Inc., all due to slowdowns in their respective business segments.

A description of the investments listed above and other material components of the investment portfolio are included in this report under the caption “Consolidated Schedule of Investments – June 30, 2010 and 2009.”

Portfolio Investments

During the quarter ended June 30, 2010, we made investments of $2,394,724 in existing portfolio companies and $3,703,619 in a new portfolio company.

We have agreed, subject to certain conditions, to invest up to $4,426,994 in six portfolio companies.

Financial Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 2010, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $78.0 million. Pursuant to Small Business Administration (SBA) regulations, cash and cash equivalents of $2.5 million held by Capital Southwest Venture Corporation (CSVC) may not be transferred or advanced to us without the consent of the SBA.

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

(continued)

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 40 years. Retention of future gains is viewed as an important source of funds to sustain our investment activity. Approximately $16.8 million of our investment portfolio is represented by unrestricted publicly-traded securities, and represent a source of liquidity as of June 30, 2010.

Funds to be used by us for operating or investment purposes may be transferred in the form of dividends, management fees or loans from 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.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates

There have been no changes during the quarter ended June 30, 2010 to the critical accounting policies or the areas that involve the use of significant judgments and estimates we described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010.

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 and on our net asset value.

Our investment in portfolio securities includes fixed-rate debt securities which totaled $16,900,931 at June 30, 2010, equivalent to 4.1% 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.

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

During the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2010, 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.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We may, from time to time, be involved in litigation arising out of our operations in the normal course of business or otherwise. Furthermore, third parties may try to seek to impose liability on us in connection with the activities of our portfolio companies. We have no current pending legal proceedings to which we are party or to which any of our property is subject.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes to our risk factors disclosed in Item 1A, “Risk Factors”, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010.
