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.

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:

Balance at March 31, 2006 45,300 $68.411

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

(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.

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.

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,

------------ ------------
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:

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

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.

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.
