PART I Item 1. Business We were 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". We are a venture capital investment company whose objective is to achieve capital appreciation through long-term investments in businesses believed to have favorable growth potential. Our investment interests are focused on expansion financings, management buyouts, recapitalizations, industry consolidations and early-stage financings in a broad range of industry segments. The 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. The twelve largest investments we own had a combined cost of $41,744,164 and a value of $362,551,796, representing 85.9% of the value of our consolidated investment portfolio at March 31, 2005. For a narrative description of the twelve largest investments, see "Twelve Largest Investments - March 31, 2005" on pages 7 through 9 of our Annual Report to Shareholders for the Year Ended March 31, 2005 (our "2005 Annual Report") which is herein incorporated by reference. Certain of the information presented on the twelve largest investments has been obtained from the respective companies and, in certain cases, from public filings of such companies. The financial information presented on each of the respective companies is from such companies' financial statements, which in some instances are unaudited. We compete for attractive investment opportunities with venture capital partnerships and corporations, venture capital affiliates of industrial and financial companies, SBICs and wealthy individuals. The number of persons employed by us at March 31, 2005 was seven. Our internet website address is www.capitalsouthwest.com. You can review the filings we have made with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, free of charge by linking directly from our website to NASDAQ, a database that links to EDGAR, the Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval System of the SEC. You should be able to access our annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The charters adopted by the committees of our board of directors are also available on our website. Item 2. Properties We maintain our offices at 12900 Preston Road, Suite 700, Dallas, Texas, 75230, where we rent approximately 3,700 square feet of office space pursuant to a lease agreement expiring in February 2008. We believe that our offices are adequate to meet our current and expected future needs. Item 3. Legal Proceedings We have no material pending legal proceedings to which we are a party or to which any of our property is subject. 1

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the quarter ended March 31, 2005. Item 4A. Executive Officers The names and ages of our executive officers as of June 1, 2005, together with certain biographical information, are as follows: William M. Ashbaugh, age 50, has served as Vice President since 2001. He previously served as Managing Director in the corporate finance departments of Hoak Breedlove Wesneski & Co. from 1998 to 2001, Principal Financial Securities from 1997 to 1998 and Southwest Securities from 1995 to 1997. Patrick F. Hamner, age 49, has served as Vice President since 1986 and was an Investment Associate from 1982 to 1986. Susan K. Hodgson, age 43, has served as Secretary-Treasurer since 2001 and was Controller from 1994 to 2001. Gary L. Martin, age 58, has been a director since July 1988 and has served as Vice President since 1984. He previously served as Vice President from 1978 to 1980. Since 1980, Mr. Martin has served as President of The Whitmore Manufacturing Company, a wholly-owned portfolio company. William R. Thomas, age 76, has served as Chairman of the Board of Directors since 1982 and President since 1980. In addition, he has been a director since 1972 and was previously Senior Vice President from 1969 to 1980. PART II Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities Information set forth under the captions "Shareholder Information - Shareholders, Market Prices and Dividends" on page 37 of our 2005 Annual Report is herein incorporated by reference. Item 6. Selected Financial Data "Selected Consolidated Financial Data" on page 36 of our 2005 Annual Report is herein incorporated by reference. Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Pages 33 through 35 of our 2005 Annual Report are herein incorporated by reference. Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures 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. The return on our investments is not materially affected by foreign currency fluctuations. Our investment performance is a function of our portfolio companies' profitability, which may be affected by economic cycles, competitive forces and production costs including labor rates, raw material prices and certain basic commodity prices. All of these factors may have an adverse effect on the value of our investments and on our net asset value. Most of the companies in our investment portfolio do not hedge their exposure to raw material and commodity price fluctuations. Our investment in portfolio securities includes fixed-rate debt securities which totaled $5,592,145 at March 31, 2005, equivalent to 1.33% of the value of our total investments. Generally these debt securities are below investment grade and have relatively high fixed rates of interest, therefore; 2

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 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 price would result in an identical change in the fair value of our investment in such security.

         WHEREAS, effective as of April 1, 1989, the Retirement Plan for
Employees of Capital Southwest Corporation and Its Affiliates (the "Plan") was
amended and restated in its entirety;

         WHEREAS,  by the  terms of  Section  6.4 of the  Plan,  the Plan may be
amended; and

         WHEREAS,  it is  desirable  that the Plan be  amended  to  provide  for
retroactive annuity starting dates under certain  circumstances and to provide a
temporary  interest  rate for  purposes of applying  benefit  limitations  under
section 415 of the Internal Revenue Code;

         NOW,  THEREFORE,  the Plan is hereby amended,  effective as of April 1,
2004, as follows:

         1.  Section  4.1(A)(2)  of the  Plan is  amended  to add the  following
paragraph at the end thereof:

         "Notwithstanding  the foregoing  provisions of this Section  4.1(A)(2),
for Plan Years  beginning  in 2004 and 2005 the  interest  rate of 5.5% shall be
substituted for the annual rate of interest on 30-year  Treasury  securities for
purposes of this Section  4.1(A),  except that in the case of any Participant or
Beneficiary  receiving a distribution after December 31, 2003 and before January
1,  2005,  the  amount  payable  under any form of  benefit  subject  to Section
417(e)(3) of the Internal  Revenue Code and subject to adjustment  under Section
415(b)(2)(B)  of the Internal  Revenue  Code shall not,  solely by reason of the
interest rate  substitution  described above, be less than the amount that would
have been so payable had the amount  payable  been  determined  using the annual
rate of interest on 30-year Treasury securities  described above in this Section
4.1(A)(2)  in effect as of the last day of the last Plan Year  beginning  before
January 1, 2004."



-2- 2. Section 4.1(C) of the Plan is amended to read in its entirety as follows: "(C) Requirement With Respect to Form of Payment: The Committee shall provide each Participant, during the period beginning 90 days before his Annuity Starting Date and ending 30 days before his Annuity Starting Date (or as soon after the expiration of such period as is administratively practicable), a written notification of his optional forms of payment. Such written notification shall set forth an explanation of: (1) if the Participant is married: (a) the terms and conditions of the Qualified Joint and 50% Survivor Annuity form of payment; (b) the Participant's right to elect, and the effect of electing, to waive the Qualified Joint and 50% Survivor Annuity form of payment; (c) the rights of the Participant's spouse; and (d) the right to revoke, and the effect of revoking, an election to waive the Qualified Joint and 50% Survivor Annuity form of payment; (2) the eligibility conditions and material features of the optional forms of payment available under the Plan; (3) the financial effect of electing each optional form of payment; (4) in the event the notification described herein is required and is provided to the Participant after his Annuity Starting Date, the Participant's right to elect a retroactive Annuity Starting Date; and (5) such other information as may be required under applicable regulations. The written notification described above shall not be required if the single-sum value of the Participant's retirement income is less than or equal to $5,000. In the event the written notification described above is required and is provided to the Participant after the Participant's Annuity Starting Date, the Participant's Annuity Starting Date shall be deemed to be his 'retroactive Annuity Starting Date,' and the provisions of Section 4.1(J) shall apply. Any provisions of Section 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4(A) or 3.1 hereof to the contrary notwithstanding, if a Participant does not elect, in writing filed with the Committee during the election period described below, to receive the retirement income payable on his behalf on and after his Annuity Starting Date either (i) under the form of payment that is specified in Section 2.1(C), 2.2(C), 2.3(F) or 2.4(A)(2), whichever is applicable, or (ii) under an optional

-3- form of payment described in and subject to the provisions of Section 3.1 hereof, such Participant shall be deemed to have elected, and the retirement income payable on and after his Annuity Starting Date shall automatically be paid in accordance with the provisions of, either: (1) if he does not have a spouse at his Annuity Starting Date, the form of payment that is specified in Section 2.1(C), 2.2(C), 2.3(F) or 2.4(A)(2), whichever is applicable; or (2) if he has a spouse at his Annuity Starting Date, the Qualified Joint and 50% Survivor Annuity Option. Any Participant may make an election under this section at any time (and any number of times) prior to the commencement of his retirement income or other benefit payments and during the period beginning on the date which is 90 days prior to his Annuity Starting Date and ending on the latest to occur of (i) his Annuity Starting Date, (ii) the date which is 90 days after the date on which he was provided with the general written explanation described above or (iii) the date which is 90 days after the date on which he was provided with any specific detailed information concerning the payment of his retirement income that is required to be furnished due to the request of the Participant. If any such Participant does not file his election with the Committee prior to the expiration of the election period described above, the commencement of his retirement income will be delayed until the end of such election period, but he will be entitled to a retroactive payment with respect to those retirement income payments which were delayed. If any Participant has elected a form of payment other than the automatic form provided above and his retirement income or other benefit payments have not commenced, he may subsequently revoke such election, in writing filed with the Committee within the election period described above, in order to receive his retirement income payable in accordance with the automatic form provided above. Any provisions of Section 3.1 hereof to the contrary notwithstanding, if any Participant is not provided with the written notification described in the first sentence of this section at least 30 days before his Annuity Starting Date but is provided in the written notification a period of at least 30 days in which to make his election under this section, he may waive such notice period (with any applicable spousal consent) and file his election with the Committee, and his retirement income or other benefit may commence within 30 days after the date on which he was provided with such written notification, but more than 7 days after such date. Any provisions herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the written consent of the Participant's spouse during the applicable election period shall be required in order for the Participant to receive his retirement income in a form other than that provided under a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity." 3. Section 4.1 of the Plan is amended to add at the end thereof a new Subsection (J), which shall read as follows: "(J) Provisions Concerning Retroactive Annuity Starting Dates: Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, in the event that the written notification described in Section 4.1(C) is required and is provided to

-4- the Participant after the Participant's Annuity Starting Date, the Participant's Annuity Starting Date shall be deemed to be his 'retroactive Annuity Starting Date' and payment of the Participant's retirement income under Section 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4(A) or 3.1 hereof shall be made or commence in accordance with Section 417(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, and regulations and rulings issued pursuant thereto, and the following provisions of this Section 4.1(J). (1) Notification requirement: In the event of a retroactive Annuity Starting Date, the written notification to the Participant required by Section 4.1(C) shall set forth the information described in Section 4.1(C) both as of his retroactive Annuity Starting Date and as of a date which is not more than 90 days after the date on which such written notification is provided to the Participant. (2) Election of retroactive Annuity Starting Date: In the event of a retroactive Annuity Starting Date, the Participant's retirement income shall be determined and payable as of a date which is not more than 90 days after the date on which the written notification required by Section 4.1(C) is provided to the Participant, unless the Participant elects to have such retirement income determined and payable as of such retroactive Annuity Starting Date. The Participant may make such election on the appropriate form provided by the Committee and filed with the Committee within the election period described in Section 4.1(C). (3) Spousal consent requirement: In the event that (a) a Participant elects to receive his retirement income under Section 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4(A), or 3.1 hereof determined as of a retroactive Annuity Starting Date, and (b) under the form of payment elected by such Participant, the benefit payable to the Participant's spouse upon the Participant's death would be less than the benefit payable to such surviving spouse after the Participant's death if the Participant had elected to receive a Qualified Joint and 50% Survivor Annuity determined and payable as of the date on which his retirement income payments actually commence, then the Participant's spouse must consent in writing to the Participant's election of such retroactive Annuity Starting Date. Such spousal consent requirement shall be satisfied if the Participant's spouse consents in the manner provided in Section 4.1(C) to the Participant's election to receive his retirement income in a form other than that provided under a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity. (4) Make-up payments with interest: In the event that a Participant elects (with spousal consent, if applicable) to receive his retirement income under Section 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4(A), or 3.1 hereof determined as of a retroactive Annuity Starting Date, the Participant shall receive a make-up payment to reflect any missed payment or payments for the period from the retroactive Annuity Starting Date to the date of the actual make-up payment, with an appropriate adjustment for interest from the date the missed payment or payments would have been made (including, if applicable, a payment of the single-sum value of the Participant's retirement income) to the date of the actual make-up payment.

-5- (5) Future payment amount: If the Participant elects (with spousal consent, if applicable) to receive his retirement income determined as of a retroactive Annuity Starting Date and the Participant receives his retirement income in a form other than a single-sum payment, the retirement income payments that commence after he has received the notification required by Section 4.1(C), other than any required make-up payment, shall be in an amount that is equal to the amount that would have been paid to the Participant had payments actually commenced on his retroactive Annuity Starting Date. (6) Section 415 compliance: Except in the case where payment of the Participant's retirement income (other than a form of payment that is subject to Section 417(e) of the Internal Revenue Code, including lump-sum distributions and other forms of distribution that provide payments in the form of a decreasing annuity or for a period less than the life of the recipient) commences no more than 12 months after the retroactive Annuity Starting Date, payment of the Participant's retirement income, including any interest adjustments, shall satisfy the requirements of Section 415 of the Internal Revenue Code if the date retirement income payments actually commence is substituted for the retroactive Annuity Starting Date for all purposes, including for purposes of determining the applicable interest rate and the applicable mortality table described in Section 4.1(A)(2) hereof. (7) Section 417(e) compliance: If the retirement income received by the Participant is in a form of payment that would have been subject to Section 417(e) of the Internal Revenue Code if payment had commenced as of the retroactive Annuity Starting Date, then the amount of payment as of the actual commencement date shall be no less than the amount of payment produced by applying the applicable interest rate and the applicable mortality table (described in Section 4.1(A)(2) hereof), determined as of the date payment actually commences, to the annuity form that was used to determine the amount of retirement income as of the Participant's retroactive Annuity Starting Date."

         WHEREAS,  effective  as of  April  1,  1989,  the  Retirement  Plan for
Employees of Capital  Southwest  Corporation and Its Affiliates (the "Plan") was
amended and restated in its entirety;

         WHEREAS,  by the  terms of  Section  6.4 of the  Plan,  the Plan may be
amended; and

         WHEREAS,  it is desirable  that the Plan be amended to reduce the limit
for mandatory cash-outs of small benefits;

         NOW, THEREFORE, Section 3.2 of the Plan is hereby amended, effective as
of March 27, 2005, to read in its entirety as follows:

         "3.2 - LUMP-SUM PAYMENT OF SMALL RETIREMENT INCOME

                  Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary,  if
         the single-sum value of the retirement  income or other benefit payable
         on behalf of any Participant hereunder whose retirement income or other
         benefit  payments  have not  commenced  does  not  exceed  $5,000,  the
         following provisions shall apply. A distribution under this Section 3.2
         will not be permitted  after the Annuity  Starting Date and will not be
         permitted in the case of a  Participant  who is entitled to  disability
         retirement  income  payments.  For the  purposes of the Plan, a payment
         shall not be considered to occur after the Annuity Starting Date merely
         because  actual  payment is reasonably  delayed for  calculation of the
         benefit  amount  if  all  payments  due  are  actually  made.   Once  a
         determination  has been made by the  Committee  as to  whether or not a
         lump-sum  payment may be payable as of the date of  termination  of the
         Participant's  service  under  the  provisions  of  this  Section  3.2,
         calculations  shall  not be  required  as of  any  subsequent  date  to
         determine  whether  or not a  lump-sum  amount is  payable  under  this
         Section 3.2; provided, however, that the Committee shall have the right
         (but shall be under no obligation) to establish, on a nondiscriminatory
         and uniformly applied basis,  subsequent dates as of which calculations
         shall  be made to  determine  whether  or not  (due to  changes  in the
         actuarial assumptions used to compute lump-sum  distributions or due to
         a  change  in the  maximum  permissible  involuntary  cash-out  amount)
         lump-sum  amounts  are  payable  under this  Section 3.2 as of any such
         subsequent date on behalf of those  Participants whose service had been
         terminated  prior to such  date but  whose  retirement  income or other
         benefit payments have not commenced.

-2- (A) Involuntary Cash-Out: If the single-sum value of the benefit payable on behalf of the Participant does not exceed $1,000, the actuarial equivalent of such benefit shall be paid in a lump sum. (B) Voluntary Cash-Out: If the single-sum value of the benefit payable on behalf of the Participant is greater than $1,000 but does not exceed $5,000, the Participant (or his Beneficiary, in the event of the Participant's death) may elect to receive the actuarial equivalent (determined using the interest and mortality assumptions that are being used as of the Annuity Starting Date to determine actuarially equivalent lump-sum distributions) of such benefit in a lump-sum distribution or in such other form of payment as is permitted under the Plan, commencing as of the Annuity Starting Date. Such election must be in writing and must be filed with the Committee within 90 days after the date as of which the Committee informs him in writing of the actuarially equivalent value of such benefits. Payment of the elected benefit must be made or commence within 90 days after such election. (C) Lump-Sum Cash-Out of Zero Vested Accrued Benefits: For the purposes of the Plan, if the present value of the vested accrued benefit that is payable on behalf of any Participant whose service is or has been terminated (either before, on or after the Effective Date of the Plan) is zero, the Participant shall be deemed to have received a distribution of such vested accrued benefit as of the date of termination of his service."

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 cover common stocks owned at March 31, 2005 and common stocks which may be acquired thereafter through exercise of warrants and conversion of debentures and preferred stocks. 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, 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, 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.

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. Capital Southwest Management Corporation ("CSMC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of CSC, is the management company for CSC and CSVC. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements of CSC, CSVC and CSMC (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. Indemnification. The Company enters into agreements that contain customary indemnification provisions. The maximum exposure under these indemnification agreements is unknown, but the Company has had no previous claims or losses and expects the risk of losses to be remote. Related Parties. Several of the Company's directors, officers and employees serve on the boards of various portfolio companies. 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 the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Stock-Based Compensation. Effective April 1, 2003, the Company adopted the fair value method of recording compensation expense related to all stock options granted after March 31, 2003, in accordance with FASB Statement Nos. 123 and 148. Accordingly, the fair value of stock options as determined on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes pricing model will be expensed over the vesting period of the related stock options. On July 19, 2004, 7,500 stock options were granted to a new investment associate who resigned on December 31, 2004 with no options vested. The following table illustrates the effect on net asset value and net asset value per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123 to stock-based compensation for options granted prior to the implementation of FASB Statement No. 123.

Years Ended March 31 ------------------------------------------ 2005 2004 2003 ------------ ------------ ------------ Net asset value, as reported $302,533,907 $290,623,350 $206,466,975 Deduct: Total fair value computed stock-based compensation 160,764 179,440 179,440 ------------ ------------ ------------ Pro forma net asset value $302,373,143 $290,443,910 $206,287,535 ============ ============ ============ Net asset value per share: Basic - as reported $78.44 $75.35 $53.92 ====== ====== ====== Basic - pro forma $78.39 $75.30 $53.87 ====== ====== ====== Diluted - as reported $78.38 $75.32 $53.79 ====== ====== ====== Diluted- pro forma $78.34 $75.27 $53.74 ====== ====== ====== The diluted net asset value per share calculation assumes all vested outstanding options for which the market price exceeds the exercise price have been exercised. In December 2004, the FASB issued a revised SFAS No. 123(R), "Share-Based Payment." It requires the Company to measure all employee stock-based compensation awards using a fair value method and record such expense in our consolidated financial statements. In addition it requires additional accounting and disclosure related to the cash flow effects resulting from share-based payment arrangements. It is effective at the beginning of the fiscal year that begins after June 15, 2005. The Company expects that the adoption effective April 1, 2006, will not have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows and that the effect on our net asset value will be comparable to the pro forma disclosures presented above. 2. Valuation of Investments The consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2005 and 2004 include securities valued at $364,732,932 (86.4% of the value of the consolidated investment portfolio) and $357,538,427 (87.9% 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, 2004, 2003 and 2002, 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. For the year ended December 31, 2004, CSC and CSVC had net investment income for book and tax purposes of $2,314,231 and $527,647, respectively, all of which has been distributed. During 2004, CSC and CSVC had a net capital loss for book purposes of $434,183 and $2,032,537, respectively, and a net capital loss for tax purposes of $773,674 and $2,262,703, respectively. As of December 31, 2004, CSC and CSVC had capital loss carryforwards of $2,989,796 (expires 2009-2012) and $2,351,473 (expires 2009-2012), respectively, which may be used to offset future taxable capital gains. The aggregate cost of investments for federal income tax purposes as of March 31, 2005 was $87,467,764. Such investments had unrealized appreciation of $352,030,249 and unrealized depreciation of $14,554,425 for book purposes, or net unrealized appreciation of $337,475,824. They had unrealized appreciation of $349,728,725 and unrealized depreciation of $15,174,267 for tax purposes, or net unrealized appreciation of $334,554,458 at March 31, 2005. The difference between book basis and tax basis net unrealized appreciation is attributable primarily to interest income that was accrued for tax purposes, but not for book purposes. CSC and CSVC may not qualify or elect to be taxed as RICs in future years. Therefore, consolidated deferred Federal income taxes of $117,094,000 and $107,169,000 have been provided on net unrealized appreciation of investments of $337,475,824 and $309,666,170 at March 31, 2005 and 2004, 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, 2005 and 2004.

4. Notes Payable The note payable to bank at March 31, 2005 and 2004 was from an unsecured revolving line of credit of $25,000,000 of which $8,000,000 and $15,500,000 had been drawn at March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The revolving line of credit bears interest at the bank's base rate less .50% or LIBOR plus 1.25% and matures on August 31, 2007. The note payable to portfolio company is a demand promissory note to Skylawn Corporation with interest payable at the greater of prime minus 2.0% or the Applicable Federal Rate established by the Internal Revenue Service. Interest expense on this portfolio company note was $134,542 in 2005, $151,089 in 2004 and $75,531 in 2003. 5. Employee Stock Option Plan Under the 1984 Incentive Stock Option Plan, options to purchase -0-, -0- and 28,000 shares of common stock at $35.625 per share (the market price at the time of grant) were outstanding and exercisable at March 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. During the three years ended March 31, -0- options were exercised in 2005, 28,000 were exercised in 2004 and -0- were exercised in 2003. The 1984 Incentive Stock Option Plan expired in 1994. On July 19, 1999, shareholders approved the 1999 Stock Option Plan ("Plan"), which provides for the granting of stock options to employees and officers of the Company and authorizes the issuance of common stock upon the exercise of such options for up to 140,000 shares of common stock. All options are granted at or above market price and 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 March 31, 2005, there were 91,500 shares available for grant under the Plan. The per share weighted average fair value of stock options granted during 2005 was $23.53 on the date of grant using the Black Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: expected dividend yield of .79%, risk-free interest rate of 4.07%, expected volatility of 22.6%, and expected life of 7 years. The following summarizes activity in the stock option plans for the years ended March 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003: Number Weighted Average of shares Exercise Price --------- -------------- Balance at April 1, 2002 82,500 $58.336 Granted -- -- Exercised -- -- Forfeited -- -- Expired -- -- ------- ------- Balance at March 31, 2003 82,500 58.336 Granted -- -- Exercised (28,000) 35.625 Forfeited -- -- Expired -- -- ------- ------- Balance at March 31, 2004 54,500 70.004 Granted 7,500 76.000 Exercised -- -- Forfeited (7,500) 76.000 Expired (6,000) 84.700 ------- ------- Balance at March 31, 2005 48,500 $68.186 ======= ======= At March 31, 2005, the range of exercise prices and weighted average remaining contractual life of outstanding options was $65.00 - $77.00 and 5.84 years, respectively. At March 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, the number of options exercisable was 25,650, 24,200 and 44,750, respectively and the weighted average exercise price of those options was $68.98, $73.24 and $50.61, respectively. 6. 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 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, 2005, the Company made contributions to the ESOP, which were charged against net investment income, of $93,588 in 2005, $88,937 in 2004 and $44,417 in 2003.

7. 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, 2005.

The anticipated asset class return is developed using historical and predicted asset return performance, considering the investments underlying each asset class and expected investment performance based on forecasts of inflation, interest rates and market indices for fixed income and equity securities. The Company's pension plan asset allocations are as follows: Percentage of plan assets at March 31 ------------------------- Asset Category 2005 2004 - -------------- -------- -------- Equity securities........................... 78.6% 81.5% Debt securities............................. 16.2% 17.2% Cash ....................................... 5.2% 1.3% ------ ------ 100.0% 100.0% ====== ====== The Company's pension plan is administered by a board-appointed committee that has fiduciary responsibility for the plan's management. The trustee of the plan is JPMorgan Asset Management. Currently approximately 25% of the assets are selected and managed by the trustee and the remainder of the assets are managed by the committee, invested mostly in equity securities, including the Company's stock. Following are the expected benefit payments for the next five years and in the aggregate for the years 2011-2015: Years Ended March 31 --------------------------------------------------- 2011- (In Thousands) 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2015 ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ $342 $327 $310 $293 $275 $1,132 8. Commitments The Company has agreed, subject to certain conditions, to invest up to $1,407,527 in five portfolio companies. The Company leases office space under an operating lease which requires base annual rentals of approximately $76,000 through February, 2008.

Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company's internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Because of its inherent limitations, internal controls over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. The Company has assessed the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2005. In making this assessment, it used the criteria described in "Internal Control-Integrated Framework" issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this assessment, management believes that, as of March 31, 2005, the Company's internal control over financial reporting is effective. Grant Thornton LLP has issued its attestation report on management's assessment and on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. That report appears on the next page. Date: May 23, 2005 /s/ William R. Thomas - --------------------- William R. Thomas President & Chairman of the Board /s/ Susan K.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Capital Southwest Corporation We have audited management's assessment, included in Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, that Capital Southwest Corporation (a Texas corporation) and subsidiaries, maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2005 based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management's assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management's assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions. A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. In our opinion, management's assessment that Capital Southwest Corporation and subsidiaries maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2005, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

KPMG LLP Dallas, Texas April 25, 2003

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 "Increase (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 increase (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 an increase or 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 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 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 $35,048 in 2005, $10,247 in 2004 and $17,346 in 2003. The Company also receives management fees from its wholly-owned portfolio companies which aggregated $597,000 in 2005 and 2004 and $458,400 in 2003. During the three years ended March 31, 2005, the Company recorded dividend income from the following sources: Years Ended March 31 ------------------------------------ 2005 2004 2003 ---------- ---------- ---------- Alamo Group Inc. ................... $ 677,112 $ 677,112 $ 677,112 Balco, Inc. ........................ 252,960 252,960 -- Dennis Tool Company ................ 25,000 49,999 49,999 Kimberly-Clark Corporation ......... 127,347 109,596 95,703 PalletOne, Inc. .................... 80,858 -- -- The RectorSeal Corporation ......... 960,000 1,407,729 960,000 Skylawn Corporation ................ 600,000 950,000 1,146,659 Sprint Corporation ................. 45,000 36,000 36,000 TCI Holdings, Inc. ................. 81,270 81,270 81,270 The Whitmore Manufacturing Company . 846,273 240,000 240,000 Other .............................. 82,370 56,271 74,247 ---------- ---------- ---------- $3,778,190 $3,860,937 $3,360,990 ========== ========== ========== Total operating expenses, excluding interest expense, increased by $445,937 or 29.7% and by $350,160 or 30.5% during the years ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, 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 decreased by $110,717 during the year ended March 31, 2005 primarily due to a decrease in notes payable. Net Realized Gain (Loss) on Investments Net realized loss on investments was $6,065,814 (after income tax benefit of $4,046,206) during the year ended March 31, 2005, compared with a gain of $8,191,872 (after income tax expense of $4,411,007) during 2004 and a gain of $1,345,728 (after income tax expense of $661,384) during 2003. 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 or losses through the disposition of certain portfolio investments.

Net Increase (Decrease) in Unrealized Appreciation of Investments For the three years ended March 31, the Company recorded an increase (decrease) in unrealized appreciation of investments before income taxes of $27,809,654, $114,067,574 and $(69,688,616) in 2005, 2004 and 2003, 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.

During the year ended March 31, 2005, the value of our investment in Encore Wire Corporation was reduced by $27,245,000 due to the cyclical variations in Encore's profitability and the effect of copper price fluctuations and competitive market conditions on Encore's earnings. In the year ago period, we increased our value of Encore by $46,316,000 reflecting increases in the company's sales and earnings which stemmed partly from higher copper prices. During the year ended March 31, 2005, the value of our investment in Palm Harbor Homes, Inc. decreased by $15,710,000 due to the unfavorable pattern of the company's earnings and the continuing negative outlook for the manufactured housing industry. In the year ago period, we increased our value of Palm Harbor due to anticipated improvement of the manufactured housing industry resulting from substantially reduced inventories of foreclosed homes and reappearance of sources of chattel mortgage financing. 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, 2005." 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, 2005 consolidated deferred Federal income taxes of $117,094,000 were provided on net unrealized appreciation of investments of $337,475,824 compared with deferred taxes of $107,169,000 on net unrealized appreciation of $309,666,170 at March 31, 2004. Deferred income taxes at March 31, 2005 and 2004 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, 2005, the Company invested $2,280,690 in various portfolio securities listed elsewhere in this report under the caption "Portfolio Changes During the Year," which also lists dispositions of portfolio securities. During the 2004 and 2003 fiscal years, the Company invested a total of $12,458,840 and $11,904,639, respectively.

Financial Liquidity and Capital Resources At March 31, 2005, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $5.1 million. Pursuant to Small Business Administration ("SBA") regulations, cash and cash equivalents of $0.3 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 $65.0 million. The Company also has an unsecured $25.0 million revolving line of credit from a commercial bank, of which $17.0 million was available at March 31, 2005. 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 37 years. Retention of future gains is viewed as an important source of funds to sustain the Company's investment activity. Approximately $57.3 million of the Company's investment portfolio is represented by unrestricted publicly-traded securities, which have an ascertainable market value and represent a source of liquidity. 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. At March 31, 2005, the Company owed $5.0 million to Skylawn Corporation. Management believes that the Company's cash and cash equivalents and cash available from other sources described above are adequate to meet its expected requirements. Consistent with the long-term strategy of the Company, the disposition of investments from time to time may also be an important source of funds for future investment activities. Contractual Obligations As shown below, the Company had the following contractual obligations as of March 31, 2005. For further information see Note 4 and Note 8 of the Consolidated Financial Statements. Payments Due By Period ($ in Thousands) --------------------------------------- Less than More Than Contractual Obligations Total 1 Year 1-3 Years 3-5 Years 5 Years - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Long-term debt obligations $13,000 $ 5,000 $ 8,000 -- -- Capital lease obligations -- -- -- -- -- Operating lease obligations 76 -- $ 76 -- -- Purchase obligations -- -- -- -- -- Other long-term liabilities reflected on the Company's balance sheet under GAAP -- -- -- -- -- --------------------------------------------------- Total $13,076 $ 5,000 $ 8,076 -- -- =================================================== Critical Accounting Policies Valuation of Investments In accordance with the Investment Company Act of 1940, investments in unrestricted securities (freely marketable securities having readily available market quotations) are valued at market and investments in restricted securities (securities subject to one or more resale restrictions) are valued at fair value determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors. Under the valuation policy of the Company, unrestricted securities are valued at the closing sale price for listed securities and at the lower of the closing bid price or the last sale price for Nasdaq securities on the valuation date. Restricted securities, including securities of publicly-owned companies which are subject to restrictions on resale, are valued at fair value, which is considered to be the amount the Company may reasonably expect to receive 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.

Deferred Income Taxes In future years, the Company may not qualify or elect to be taxed as a regulated investment company ("RIC") under applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, deferred Federal income taxes have been provided on net unrealized appreciation of investments at the then currently effective corporate tax rate on capital gains. 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.

                                 CERTIFICATIONS

I, William R. Thomas,  President and Chairman of the Board of Capital  Southwest
Corporation, certify that:

1.       I have reviewed  this annual  report on Form 10-K of Capital  Southwest
         Corporation (the "registrant");

2.       Based  on my  knowledge,  this  report  does  not  contain  any  untrue
         statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary
         to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances  under which
         such  statements  were made, not misleading  with respect to the period
         covered by this report;

3.       Based on my knowledge,  the financial  statements,  and other financial
         information  included in this  report,  fairly  present in all material
         respects the consolidated  financial  condition,  results of operations
         and cash flows of the registrant as of, and for, the periods  presented
         in this report;

4.       The  registrant's  other  certifying  officer and I are responsible for
         establishing  and  maintaining  disclosure  controls and procedures (as
         defined in Exchange Act Rules  13a-15(e)  and  15d-15(e))  and internal
         control  over  financial  reporting  (as defined in Exchange  Act Rules
         13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for the registrant and have:

         a)       Designed such disclosure  controls and  procedures,  or caused
                  such  disclosure  controls and procedures to be designed under
                  our supervision,  to ensure that material information relating
                  to the registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is
                  made known to us by others within those entities, particularly
                  during the period in which this report is being prepared;

         b)       Designed such internal  control over financial  reporting,  or
                  caused such internal  control over  financial  reporting to be
                  designed  under  our   supervision,   to  provide   reasonable
                  assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and
                  the preparation of financial  statements for external purposes
                  in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles;

         c)       Evaluated the  effectiveness  of the  registrant's  disclosure
                  controls  and  procedures  and  presented  in this  report our
                  conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls
                  and  procedures,  as of the end of the period  covered by this
                  report based on such evaluation; and

         d)       Disclosed  in  this  report  any  change  in the  registrant's
                  internal control over financial reporting that occurred during
                  the registrant's  most recent fiscal quarter (the registrant's
                  fourth  fiscal  quarter in the case of an annual  report) that
                  has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
                  affect,  the  registrant's  internal  control  over  financial
                  reporting; and

5.       The registrant's other certifying  officer and I have disclosed,  based
         on our most  recent  evaluation  of  internal  control  over  financial
         reporting,  to the registrant's auditors and the audit committee of the
         registrant's  board of directors (or persons  performing the equivalent
         functions):

         a)       All significant  deficiencies  and material  weaknesses in the
                  design  or  operation  of  internal   control  over  financial
                  reporting which are reasonably  likely to adversely affect the
                  registrant's ability to record, process,  summarize and report
                  information; and

         b)       Any fraud,  whether or not material,  that involves management
                  or  other  employees  who  have  a  significant  role  in  the
                  registrant's internal control over financial reporting.

                                 CERTIFICATIONS


I,  Susan K.  Hodgson,  Secretary-Treasurer  of Capital  Southwest  Corporation,
certify that:

1.       I have reviewed  this annual  report on Form 10-K of Capital  Southwest
         Corporation (the "registrant");

2.       Based  on my  knowledge,  this  report  does  not  contain  any  untrue
         statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary
         to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances  under which
         such  statements  were made, not misleading  with respect to the period
         covered by this report;

3.       Based on my knowledge,  the financial  statements,  and other financial
         information  included in this  report,  fairly  present in all material
         respects the consolidated  financial  condition,  results of operations
         and cash flows of the registrant as of, and for, the periods  presented
         in this report;

4.       The  registrant's  other  certifying  officer and I are responsible for
         establishing  and  maintaining  disclosure  controls and procedures (as
         defined in Exchange Act Rules  13a-15(e)  and  15d-15(e))  and internal
         control  over  financial  reporting  (as defined in Exchange  Act Rules
         13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for the registrant and have:

         a)       Designed such disclosure  controls and  procedures,  or caused
                  such  disclosure  controls and procedures to be designed under
                  our supervision,  to ensure that material information relating
                  to the registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is
                  made known to us by others within those entities, particularly
                  during the period in which this report is being prepared;

         b)       Designed such internal  control over financial  reporting,  or
                  caused such internal  control over  financial  reporting to be
                  designed  under  our   supervision,   to  provide   reasonable
                  assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and
                  the preparation of financial  statements for external purposes
                  in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles;

         c)       Evaluated the  effectiveness  of the  registrant's  disclosure
                  controls  and  procedures  and  presented  in this  report our
                  conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls
                  and  procedures,  as of the end of the period  covered by this
                  report based on such evaluation; and

         d)       Disclosed  in  this  report  any  change  in the  registrant's
                  internal control over financial reporting that occurred during
                  the registrant's  most recent fiscal quarter (the registrant's
                  fourth  fiscal  quarter in the case of an annual  report) that
                  has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
                  affect,  the  registrant's  internal  control  over  financial
                  reporting; and

5.       The registrant's other certifying  officer and I have disclosed,  based
         on our most  recent  evaluation  of  internal  control  over  financial
         reporting,  to the registrant's auditors and the audit committee of the
         registrant's  board of directors (or persons  performing the equivalent
         functions):

         a)       All significant  deficiencies  and material  weaknesses in the
                  design  or  operation  of  internal   control  over  financial
                  reporting which are reasonably  likely to adversely affect the
                  registrant's ability to record, process,  summarize and report
                  financial information; and

         b)       Any fraud,  whether or not material,  that involves management
                  or  other  employees  who  have  a  significant  role  in  the
                  registrant's internal control over financial reporting.
