Management is responsible for the Company's compliance with those requirements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management's assertion about the Company's compliance based on our examination. Our examination was conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and, accordingly, included examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Company's compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. Included among our procedures were the following tests performed as of October 1, 2007, and with respect to agreement of security purchases and sales, for the period from March 30, 2007 (the date of the last examination) through October 1, 2007: o Count and inspection of all securities located in the vault of JPMorgan Chase & Co. Safekeeping Department in New York City, New York. o Confirmation of all securities held by Citigroup Smith Barney. o Reconciliation of all such securities to the books and records of the Company and the Custodian. o Agreement of five security purchases and one security sale since our last report from the books and records of the Company to the Company's bank statements. We believe that our examination provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our examination does not provide a legal determination on the Company's compliance with specified requirements. In our opinion, management's assertion that Capital Southwest Corporation and subsidiary complied with the requirements of subsections (b) and (c) of rule 17f-2 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 as of October 1, 2007, with respect to securities reflected in the investment account of the Company is fairly stated, in all material respects.
