CAPITAL SOUTHWEST CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements ------------------------------------------ (Unaudited) 1. Basis of Presentation Principles of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for investment companies. Under rules and regulations applicable to investment companies, we are precluded from consolidating any entity other than another investment company. An exception to this general principle occurs if the investment company has an investment in an operating company that provides services to the investment company. Our consolidated financial statements include our management company. The financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 6 of Regulation S-X. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2006. 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. 2. Stock-Based Compensation Effective April 1, 2003, we adopted the fair value method of recording compensation expense related to all stock options granted after March 31, 2003, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards ("FASB") Statement Nos. 123 and 148. The only options granted during this period were on July 19, 2004 to a new investment associate who resigned on December 31, 2004 with no options vested. In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment ("SFAS 123R"), which revised SFAS 123. SFAS 123R also supersedes APB 25 and amends SFAS No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. SFAS 123R eliminates the alternative to account for employee stock options under APB 25 and requires the fair value of all share-based payments to employees, including the fair value of grants of employee stock options, be recognized in the income statement, generally over the vesting period. In March 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 107, which provides additional implementation guidance for SFAS 123R. Among other things, SAB 107 provides guidance on share-based payment valuations, income statement classification and presentation, capitalization of costs and related income tax accounting. Effective April 1, 2006 we adopted SFAS 123R using the modified prospective transition method. We will 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 will be expensed over the vesting period of the related stock options. Accordingly, for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 we recognized compensation expense of $4,120. 7

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) SFAS 123 R also requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost be reported as a financing cash flow. As a regulated investment company, we are subject to no tax effect as the majority of our options granted are incentive stock options and our net investment income equals the dividends that we pay out. Therefore, we do not incur any tax expense. The following table illustrates the effect on net asset value and net asset value per share for the three months ended June 30, 2005 if we 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. June 30, June 30, 2006 2005 ------------ ------------ Net asset value, as reported $394,674,815 $308,437,746 Deduct: Total fair value computed stock-based compensation -- 37,734 ------------ ------------ Pro forma net asset value $394,674,815 $308,400,012 ============ ============ Net asset value per share: Basic - as reported $101.83 $79.97 ======= ====== Basic - pro forma $ -- $79.96 ======= ====== Diluted - as reported $101.71 $79.89 ======= ====== Diluted - pro forma $ -- $79.88 ======= ====== As of June 30, 2006, the total remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options was $1,096,333, which will be amortized over the weighted-average service period of approximately 8.41 years. 3. Employee Stock Option Plan On July 19, 1999, shareholders approved the 1999 Stock Option ("Plan"), which provides for the granting of stock options to employees and officers 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 June 30, 2006, there were 66,000 shares available for grant under the Plan. The per share weighted-average fair value of the stock options granted on May 15, 2006 was $31.276 per option using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions: expected dividend yield of .64%, risk-free interest rate of 5.08%, expected volatility of 21.1%, and expected life of 7 years. The following summarizes activity in the stock option plan since March 31, 2006: Number Weighted-Average of shares Exercise Price --------- ---------------- Balance at March 31, 2006 45,300 $68.411 Granted 50,000 93.490 Exercised (15,500) 70.806 Canceled (24,500) 89.482 ------- ------- Balance at June 30, 2006 55,300 81.080 ======= ======= At June 30, 2006, the range of exercise prices and weighted-average remaining contractual life of outstanding options was $65.00 to $93.49 and 7.63 years, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the 8

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) three months ended June 30, 2006 was $349,636 with the exercise prices ranging from $65.00 to $77.00 per share. New shares were issued for the $1,097,500 cash received from option exercises for the three months ended June 30, 2006. At June 30, 2006, the number of options exercisable was 14,000 and the weighted-average exercise price of those options was $67.01. On July 17, 2006, a stock option to purchase 7,500 shares of common stock was issued to a new investment associate who joined the company on July 12, 2006. 4. Summary of Per Share Information Three Months Ended June 30 ------------------ 2006 2005 ------- ------ Investment income $ .31 $ .28 Operating expenses (.14) (.09) Interest expense (.04) (.03) Income taxes -- (.01) ------- ------ Net investment income .13 .15 Distributions from undistributed net investment income (.20) (.20) Net realized gain on investments .07 .88 Net increase (decrease) in unrealized appreciation of investments after deferred taxes (.78) .70 Exercise of employee stock options* (.13) -- Stock option expense -- -- ------- ------ Increase (decrease) in net asset value (.91) 1.53 Net asset value: Beginning of period 102.74 78.44 ------- ------ End of period $101.83 $79.97 ======= ====== Increase (decrease) in deferred taxes on unrealized appreciation $ (.74) $ 0.37 Deferred taxes on unrealized appreciation: Beginning of period 41.65 30.36 ------- ------ End of period $ 40.91 $30.73 ======= ====== Shares outstanding at end of period (000s omitted) 3,875 3,857 * Net decrease is due to the exercise of employee stock options at prices less than beginning of period net asset value. 5. Recent Accounting Pronouncements The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has issued Interpretation No. 48 (FIN48), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity's financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. We have evaluated the positions in the tax returns we have filed and do not believe that FIN 48 will have a material impact on our financial statements. The state of Texas recently passed House Bill 3 (HB3), which revises the existing francise tax system to create a new tax on virtually all Texas businesses. Starting in the fical year 2007, HB3 changes the franchise tax base, lowers the tax rate and extends coverage to active businesses receiving state law liability protection. We have been subject to an immaterial amount of Texas franchise taxes and expect the HB3 to have some affect, but have not determined the extent of this impact. 9

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Net asset value at June 30, 2006 was $394,674,815, equivalent to $101.83 per share after deducting an allowance of $40.91 per share for deferred taxes on net unrealized appreciation of investments. Assuming reinvestment of all dividends and tax credits on retained long-term capital gains, this represents a decrease of 0.7% during the past three months and an increase of 29.9% during the past twelve months. June 30, June 30, 2006 2005 ------------ ------------ Net assets $394,674,815 $308,437,746 Shares outstanding 3,875,751 3,857,051 Net assets per share $101.83 $79.97 Results of Operations The composite measure of our financial performance in the Consolidated Statements of Operations is captioned "Increase (decrease) in net assets from operations" and consists of three elements. The first is "Net investment income", which is the difference between our income from interest, dividends and fees and our combined operating and interest expenses, net of applicable income taxes. The second element is "Net realized gain 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 our 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 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 Interest income of $205,852 in the three months ended June 30, 2006 increased from $141,903 in the year-ago period primarily because of an increase in interest rates. During the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, we recorded dividend income from the following sources: Three Months Ended June 30 2006 2005 -------- -------- Alamo Group Inc. $169,278 $169,278 Dennis Tool Company 37,499 37,499 Kimberly-Clark Corporation 37,818 34,731 Lifemark Group 150,000 150,000 PalletOne, Inc. 44,921 44,921 The RectorSeal Corporation 240,000 240,000 Sprint Nextel Corporation 2,250 11,250 TCI Holdings, Inc. 20,318 20,318 The Whitmore Manufacturing Company 60,000 60,000 Other 20,482 14,249 -------- -------- $782,566 $782,246 ======== ======== 10

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued) Net Increase (Decrease) 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 periods) by portfolio company: Three Months Ended June 30 -------------------------- 2006 2005 ----------- ----------- Alamo Group Inc. $ -- $(8,463,000) Encore Wire Corporation 8,174,000 -- Palm Harbor Homes, Inc. (7,855,000) 11,783,000 During the three months ended June 30, 2006, the value of our investment in Encore Wire Corporation was increased due to an increase in the company's earnings and its stock price. The value of our investment in Palm Harbor Homes, Inc. was decreased due to a less favorable outlook in the manufactured housing industry and a decrease in its stock price. There was no change in the value of our investment in Alamo Group Inc. Portfolio Investments During the quarter ended June 30, 2006, we made no additional investments. We have agreed, subject to certain conditions, to invest up to $7,191,154 in four portfolio companies. Financial Liquidity and Capital Resources At June 30, 2006, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $12.9 million (excluding the $150 million quarter-end borrowing). Pursuant to Small Business Administration (SBA) regulations, cash and cash equivalents of $0.6 million held by Capital Southwest Venture Corporation (CSVC) may not be transferred or advanced to us without the consent of the SBA. Under current SBA regulations and subject to SBA's approval of its credit application, CSVC would be entitled to borrow up to $69.7 million. We also have an unsecured $25.0 million revolving line of credit from a commercial bank, of which $17.0 million was available at June 30, 2006. 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 38 years. Retention of future gains is viewed as an important source of funds to sustain our investment activity. Approximately $62.9 million of our investment portfolio is represented by unrestricted publicly-traded securities, and represent a source of liquidity. On June 30, 2006, we borrowed $150 million from JPMorgan Chase in order to maintain our tax status as a regulated investment company. On July 3, 2006, we repaid the $150 miillion note payable to bank from our cash and cash equivalents. Funds to be used by us for operating or investment purposes may be transferred in the form of dividends, management fees or loans from Lifemark Group, The RectorSeal Corporation and The Whitmore Manufacturing Company, wholly-owned portfolio companies, to the extent of their available cash reserves and borrowing capacities. Management believes that our cash and cash equivalents and cash available from other sources described above are adequate to meet our expected requirements. Consistent with our long-term strategy, the disposition of investments from time to time may also be an important source of funds for future investment activities. 11

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 $5,933,428 at June 30, 2006, equivalent to 1.1% 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 stocks of publicly-owned companies. The fair values of these restricted securities are influenced by the nature of applicable resale restrictions, the underlying earnings and financial condition of the issuers of such restricted securities and the market valuations of comparable publicly-owned companies. A portion of our investment portfolio also consists of unrestricted, freely marketable common stocks of publicly-owned companies. These freely marketable investments, which are valued at the public market price, are directly exposed to equity price risks, in that a change in an issuer's public market equity price would result in an identical change in the fair value of our investment in such security. Item 4. Controls and Procedures As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the President and Chairman of the Board and Secretary-Treasurer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based on that evaluation, the President and Chairman of the Board and Secretary-Treasurer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the President and Chairman of the Board and Secretary-Treasurer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding such disclosure. During the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2006, 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. 12
