Notes to Portfolio of Investments --------------------------------- (a) Unrestricted securities (indicated by ++) are freely marketable securities having readily available market quotations. All other securities are restricted securities which are subject to one or more restrictions on resale and are not freely marketable. At September 30, 2006, restricted securities represented approximately 90.5% of the value of the consolidated investment portfolio. (b) 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 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. 10

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 and six months ended September 30, 2006, we recognized compensation expense of $77,711 and $81,831, respectively. 11

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) SFAS 123R 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 six months ended September 30, 2006 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.

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 September 30, 2006, there were 58,500 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 per share weighted-average fair value of the stock options granted on July 17, 2006 was $33.045 per option using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions: expected dividend yield of .61%, risk-free interest rate of 5.04%, expected volatility of 21.2%, 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 57,500 94.136 Exercised (15,500) 70.806 Canceled (24,500) 89.482 ------- ------- Balance at September 30, 2006 62,800 83.153 ======= ======= 12

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) At September 30, 2006, the range of exercise prices and weighted-average remaining contractual life of outstanding options was $65.00 to $98.44 and 7.66 years, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the six months ended September 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 six months ended September 30, 2006. At September 30, 2006, the number of options exercisable was 18,815 and the weighted-average exercise price of those options was $68.36. 4.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) 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. 13

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) The state of Texas recently passed House Bill 3 (HB3), which revises the existing franchise tax system to create a new tax on virtually all Texas businesses. Starting in the fiscal 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. In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" (SFAS 157). The standard defines fair value, outlines a framework for measuring fair value, and details the required disclosures about fair value measurements. The standard is effective for years beginning after November 15, 2007. We are evaluating the impact of SFAS 157. In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, "Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements" (SAB 108). SAB 108 clarifies the SEC staff's beliefs regarding the process of quantifying financial statement misstatements and is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. We do not expect SAB 108 to have a material impact on our financial statements. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Net asset value at September 30, 2006 was $399,788,343 equivalent to $103.15 per share after deducting an allowance of $40.70 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, the September 30, 2006 net asset value reflects an increase of 22.9% during the past twelve months. September 30, September 30, 2006 2005 ---- ---- Net assets $399,788,343 $330,312,226 Shares outstanding 3,875,751 3,857,051 Net assets per share $103.15 $85.64 Results of Operations The composite measure of our financial performance in the Consolidated Statements of Operations is captioned "Increase in net assets from operations" and consists of three elements. The first is "Net investment income", which is the difference between our income from interest, dividends and fees and our combined operating and interest expenses, net of applicable income taxes. The second element is "Net realized gain on investments", which is the difference between the proceeds received from disposition of portfolio securities and their stated cost, 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. 14

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued) Net Investment Income Interest income of $1,139,530 in the six months ended September 30, 2006 increased from $243,666 in the year-ago period due to an increase in excess cash and interest rates and a $631,000 interest payment from a portfolio company for prior interest that had been on a non-accrual basis. During the six months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, we recorded dividend income from the following sources: Six Months Ended September 30 ------------ 2006 2005 ---- ---- Alamo Group Inc. $ 338,556 $ 338,556 Dennis Tool Company 49,999 49,999 Kimberly-Clark Corporation 75,636 69,462 Lifemark Group 300,000 300,000 PalletOne, Inc. 89,842 89,842 The RectorSeal Corporation 480,000 480,000 Sprint Nextel Corporation 4,500 13,500 TCI Holdings, Inc. 40,635 40,635 The Whitmore Manufacturing Company 120,000 120,000 Other 41,333 63,626 ---------- ---------- $1,540,501 $1,565,620 ========== ========== Net Realized Gain on Investments During the six months ended September 30, 2006, we reported a realized gain before income taxes of $9,615,763 which included a gain of $8,884,936, on our sale of 500,000 shares of Cenveo, Inc. 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 Six Months Ended September 30 September 30 ------------ ------------ 2006 2005 2006 2005 ---- ---- ---- ---- Encore Wire Corporation -- $8,174,000 $ 8,174,000 $ 8,174,000 Heelys, Inc. $ 30,000,000 6,600,000 30,000,000 7,750,000 Media Recovery, Inc. -- 7,744,000 -- 7,744,000 Palm Harbor Homes, Inc. (15,710,000) 3,927,000 (23,565,000) 15,710,000 During the six months ended September 30, 2006, the value of our investment in Palm Harbor Homes, Inc. was decreased from the March 31, 2006 value by $23,565,000 due to the continued deterioration of the manufactured housing market, the losses attributable to the closing of a manufacturing plant and eight retail centers, and the write-off of Palm Harbor's entire 50% limited partnership interest in its BankSource Mortgage business. The value of our investment in Heelys, Inc. was increased due to the major increases in the company's sales and earnings and its order backlog. This producer of specialty footwear with a removable wheel housed in the heel of the shoe has filed an S-1 registration statement with the SEC in anticipation of an initial public offering of its stock. 15

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued) Portfolio Investments During the quarter ended September 30, 2006, we invested $167,080 in a new portfolio company and made additional investments of $203,150 in an existing portfolio company. We have agreed, subject to certain conditions, to invest up to $6,819,820 in three portfolio companies. Financial Liquidity and Capital Resources At September 30, 2006, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $24.3 million. Pursuant to Small Business Administration (SBA) regulations, cash and cash equivalents of $0.9 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 September 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 $51.6 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 million 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. 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 on our net asset value. 16

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk (continued) Our investment in portfolio securities includes fixed-rate debt securities which totaled $6,820,171 at September 30, 2006, equivalent to 1.3% 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 required disclosure. During the fiscal quarter ended September 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.
