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
$36,296,096 and a value of $494,505,176, representing 89.8% of the value of our
consolidated investment portfolio at March 31, 2006. For a narrative description
of the twelve largest investments, see "Twelve Largest Investments - March 31,
2006" on pages 9 through 11 of our Annual Report to Shareholders for the Year
Ended March 31, 2006 (our "2006 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' audited
financial statements.

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, 2006 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 1A. Risk Factors

You should carefully consider the risks described below and all other
information contained in this annual report on Form 10-K, including our
consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto before making a
decision to purchase our common stock. The risks and uncertainties described
below are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not
presently known to us, or not presently deemed material by us, may also impair
our operations and performance. If any of the following risks actually occur,
our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially
adversely affected. If that happens, the trading price of our common stock could
decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.


1
There is  uncertainty  regarding  the  value of our  investments  in  restricted
securities.

Our net asset value is based on the values assigned to the various
investments in our portfolio, determined in good faith by our board of
directors. Because of the inherent uncertainty of the valuation of portfolio
securities which do not have readily ascertainable market values, our fair value
determinations may differ materially from the values which would be applicable
to unrestricted securities having a public market.

The lack of liquidity of our restricted securities may adversely affect our
business.

Our portfolio contains many securities which are subject to
restrictions on sale because they were acquired from issuers in "private
placement" transactions or because we are deemed to be an affiliate of the
issuer. Unless an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities
Act of 1933 is available, we will not be able to sell these securities publicly
without the expense and time required to register the securities under
applicable federal and state securities laws. In addition, contractual or
practical limitations may restrict our ability to liquidate our securities in
portfolio companies, because we may own a relatively large percentage of the
issuer's outstanding securities. Sales may also be limited by unfavorable market
conditions. The illiquidity of our investments may preclude or delay the
disposition of such securities, which may make it difficult for us to obtain
cash equal to the value at which we record our investments.

There is limited publicly available information regarding the companies in which
we invest.

Many of the securities in our portfolio are issued by privately held
companies. There is generally little or no publicly available information about
such companies, and we must rely on the diligence of our management to obtain
the information necessary for our decision to invest. There can be no assurance
that such diligence efforts will uncover all material information necessary to
make fully informed investment decisions.

Certain of our portfolio companies are highly leveraged.

Many of our portfolio companies have incurred substantial indebtedness
in relation to their overall capital base. Such indebtedness often has a term
that will require the balance of the loan to be refinanced when it matures. If
portfolio companies cannot generate adequate cash flow to meet the principal and
interest payments on their indebtedness, the value of our investments could be
reduced or eliminated through foreclosure on the portfolio company's assets or
by the portfolio company's reorganization or bankruptcy.

Fluctuations may occur in our quarterly results.

Our quarterly operating results may fluctuate materially due to a
number of factors including, among others, variations in and the timing of the
recognition of realized and unrealized gains or losses, the degree to which we
encounter competition in our portfolio companies' markets, the ability to find
and close suitable investments, and general economic conditions. As a result of
these factors, results for any period should not be relied upon as being
indicative of performance in future periods. See "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."

We may not continue to qualify for pass-through tax treatment.

We may not qualify for conduit tax treatment as a Regulated Investment
Company ("RIC") if we are unable to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M
of the Internal Revenue Code. If we fail to satisfy such requirements and cease
to qualify for conduit tax treatment, we will be subject to federal taxes on our
net investment income. The loss of this pass-through tax treatment could have a
material adverse effect on the total return, if any, obtainable from an
investment in our common stock.

Historically, we have distributed net investment income semi-annually.
Our current intention is to continue these distributions of ordinary income to


2
our  stockholders.  Also,  historically,  we have retained net realized  capital
gains, paid the resulting tax at the corporate level and retained the after-tax
gains to supplement our equity capital and support continuing additions to our
portfolio. Our shareholders then report such capital gains on their tax returns,
receive credit for the tax we paid and are deemed to have reinvested the amount
of the retained after-tax gain. We cannot assure you that we will achieve
investment results or maintain a RIC tax status that will allow any specified
level of cash distributions or our shareholders' current tax treatment of
realized and retained capital gains.

Our financial condition and results of operations will depend on our ability to
effectively manage any future growth.

Sustaining growth depends on our ability to identify, evaluate,
finance, and invest in companies that meet our investment criteria.
Accomplishing such results on a cost-effective basis is a function of our
marketing capabilities and skillful management of the investment process.
Failure to achieve future growth could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We are dependent upon management for our future success.

Selection, structuring and closing our investments depends upon the
diligence and skill of our management, which is responsible for identifying,
evaluating, negotiating, monitoring and disposing of our investments. Our
management's capabilities may significantly impact our results of operations. If
we lose any member of our management team and he/she cannot be promptly replaced
with an equally capable team member, our results of operations could be
significantly impacted.

We operate in a highly competitive market for investment opportunities.

We compete with a number of private equity funds, other investment
entities and individuals for investment opportunities. Some of these competitors
are substantially larger and have greater financial resources, and some are
subject to different and frequently less stringent regulation. As a result of
this competition, we may not be able to take advantage of attractive investment
opportunities from time to time and there can be no assurance that we will be
able to identify and make investments that satisfy our objectives.

Changes in laws or regulations governing our operations or our failure to comply
with those laws or regulations may adversely affect our business.

We and our portfolio companies are subject to regulation by laws at the
local, state and federal level. These laws and regulations, as well as their
interpretation, may be changed from time to time. Accordingly, any changes in
these laws and regulations or failure to comply with them could have a material
adverse effect on our business. Certain of these laws and regulations pertain
specifically to business development companies such as ours.

Failure to deploy new capital may reduce our return on equity.

If we fail to invest our capital effectively, our return on equity may
be decreased, which could reduce the price of the shares of our common stock.

Investment in shares of our common stock should not be considered a complete
investment program.

Our stock is intended for investors seeking long-term capital
appreciation. Our investments in portfolio securities generally require many
years to reach maturity, and such investments generally are illiquid. An
investment in our shares should not be considered a complete investment program.
Each prospective purchaser should take into account his or her investment
objectives as well as his or her other investments when considering the purchase
of our shares.


3
Our common stock often trades at a discount from net asset value.

Our common stock is listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market ("NASDAQ").
Stockholders desiring liquidity may sell their shares on NASDAQ at current
market value, which has often been below net asset value. Shares of closed-end
investment companies frequently trade at discounts from net asset value, which
is a risk separate and distinct from the risk that a fund's performance will
cause its net asset value to decrease.

The market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly.

The market price and marketability of shares of our common stock may
from time to time be significantly affected by numerous factors, including our
investment results, market conditions, and other influences and events over
which we have no control and that may not be directly related to us.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments

We have no unresolved staff comments to report pursuant to Item 1B.

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.

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, 2006.

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 38 of our 2006 Annual Report
is herein incorporated by reference.

Item 6. Selected Financial Data

"Selected Consolidated Financial Data" on page 37 of our 2006 Annual
Report is herein incorporated by reference.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations

Pages 34 through 36 of our 2006 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.

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


4
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>

material prices and certain basic 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 $10,335,871 at March 31, 2006, equivalent to 1.9% 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
value of our investment in such security.

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
