                                     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.
Our  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 12 largest  investments  we own had a combined cost of  $43,523,388
and a value of $499,866,033, representing 91.3% of the value of our consolidated
investment  portfolio at March 31, 2008.  For a narrative  description of the 12
largest  investments,  see  "Twelve  Largest  Investments  - March 31,  2008" in
Exhibit  13.1 of this  Form  10-K  which is herein  incorporated  by  reference.
Certain of the  information  presented  on the 12 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 private equity
funds, 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, 2008 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. 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 a third  party  would be
willing to pay for such  securities  or the values which would be  applicable to
unrestricted securities having a public market.

We are  subject to  additional  risks in light of the  restatement  of our prior
period consolidated financial statements.

         We have restated our  consolidated  financial  statements  for the year
ended  March 31,  2007 and all years  represented  in our Form 10-K for the year
ended March 31, 2007 due to material  weakness  we  identified  in our  internal
controls  over  accounting  for  taxes.  The  restatement  of  our  consolidated
financial  statements could expose us to legal actions.  The defense of any such
actions could cause the diversion of management's  attention and resources,  and
we could be required to pay damages to settle such  actions if any such  actions
are not resolved in our favor. Even if resolved in our favor, such actions could
cause us to incur significant legal and other expenses.  Moreover, we may be the
subject of negative publicity focusing on the restatement and negative reactions
from shareholders and others with whom we do business.

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.



                                       2

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.  To the extent we had unrealized gains, we would have to
establish   reserves  for  taxes,   which  would  reduce  our  net  asset  value
accordingly.  In  addition,  if we,  as a RIC,  were to  decide to make a deemed
distribution of net realized  capital gains and retain the net realized  capital
gain, we would have to establish  appropriate  reserves for taxes, at the end of
the tax year, that we would have to pay on behalf of our shareholders.  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
our  shareholders.  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.

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.

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

         Our common  stock is listed on The  Nasdaq  Global  Market  ("NASDAQ").
Shareholders  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.

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 for attractive investment  opportunities with private equity
funds, venture capital partnerships and corporations, venture capital affiliates
of industrial and financial companies,  SBICs and wealthy  individuals.  Some of
these competitors are substantially larger and have greater financial resources,



                                       3
<PAGE>

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.

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  4,232  square feet of office space
pursuant to a lease  agreement  expiring in February  2013.  We believe that our
offices are adequate to meet our current and expected future needs.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

         We are currently the subject of certain legal actions. In our judgment,
none of the lawsuits currently pending against us, either individually or in the
aggregate, is likely to have a material adverse effect on our business,  results
of operations, or financial position.

         We,  Capital  Southwest  Corporation  and CSVC,  have  been  named in a
lawsuit  filed on August 27,  2007 in the United  States  District  Court of the
Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division, against Heelys, Inc and their Chief
Executive  Officer,  Chief  Financial  Officer,  the  directors who signed their
registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection
with  their  December  7,  2006  initial  public  offering  ("IPO"),  and  their
underwriters for the IPO. The complaint alleges violations of Sections 11 and 15
of the  Securities  Act of 1933  and the  plaintiffs  are  seeking  compensatory
damages in an  unspecified  amount,  as well as  reasonable  costs and  expenses
incurred in the action, including counsel fees and expert fees.

         Similar  suits were also  filed in 2007 and 2008 in the  United  States
District Court of the Northern  District of Texas making  substantially  similar
allegations  under  Sections 11, 12 and 15 of the  Securities  Act of 1933,  and
seeking substantially similar damages. These lawsuits have been transferred to a
single  judge,  and we expect  that all the cases  will be  consolidated  into a
single action, with a consolidated complaint filed shortly thereafter.

         We believe that the  plaintiffs'  claims are without merit, we deny the
allegations in the complaints, and we intend to vigorously defend the lawsuits.



                                       4
<PAGE>

         Additionally,  we, Capital Southwest Corporation,  have been named in a
lawsuit filed on April 10, 2008 in the 193rd  Judicial  District  Court,  Dallas
County,  Texas.  ZS Crossover  II, L.P., ZS Special I, L.P. and Warlen L.P. (the
"petitioners")  filed the  action to compel us to  produce  for  inspection  and
copying  certain  records of the Company,  primarily its  shareholder  list. The
petitioners  are not  seeking  an award in  damages  from the  Company,  but are
seeking an unspecified amount of legal fees and expenses.

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, 2008.

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
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 $9,000,000 at March 31, 2008, equivalent to 1.6% 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 9A. Controls and Procedures

(i)      Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

         As of March 31, 2008, an evaluation was performed under the supervision
and with the  participation  of our  management,  including  the  President  and
Controller,  of the  effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure
controls and  procedures  (as defined in Rules  13a-15(e)  and  15d-15(e) of the
Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934 (the "1934  Act")).  Disclosure  controls  and
procedures means controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to
ensure that  information  required to be  disclosed by the issuer in the reports
that it files or submits under the 1934 Act is recorded,  processed,  summarized
and reported,  within time periods  specified in the SEC's rules and forms,  and
that  such   information  is  accumulated  and   communicated  to  the  issuer's
management,  as  appropriate,  to  allow  timely  decisions  regarding  required
disclosures.  As of March 31, 2008,  based on this  evaluation of our disclosure
controls  and  procedures,  our  President  and  Controller  concluded  that our
disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2008.

         During the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2008, the Company implemented
the following  control in order to remediate the material weakness we identified
in our  internal  controls  over  accounting  for taxes,  which  resulted in the
restatement of our  consolidated  financial  statements for the year ended March
31,  2007 and years  represented  in our Form 10-K for the year ended  March 31,
2007.

     o    On a quarterly  basis the Company will  consult with a RIC  compliance
          expert, on our current RIC status and the potential impact of proposed
          transactions  and  scenarios on the  Company's  future RIC  compliance
          status. The Company has engaged KPMG, LLP in this capacity.

         There were no other  changes to our internal  controls  over  financial
reporting that have materially affected,  or are reasonably likely to materially
affect our internal controls over financial reporting.

(ii)    Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

(a)     Management's annual report on internal control over financial reporting.

         The  Company's  management  report on internal  control over  financial
reporting is set forth in our 2008 Annual Report and is  incorporated  herein by
reference.

(b)      Attestation report of the registered public accounting firm

         Our  independent  registered  public  accountants,  Grant Thornton LLP,
audited the  consolidated  financial  statements  and have issued an attestation
report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial  reporting as
of  March  31,  2008,  which  is set  forth in our  2008  Annual  Report  and is
incorporated herein by reference.

Item 9B. Other Information

         There have been no  significant  changes in our internal  controls over
financial  reporting  or in other  factors that could  significantly  affect the
internal controls over financial reporting during the year ended March 31, 2008.

                        Notes to Portfolio of Investments


(a)  The  percentages  in the  "Equity"  column  express  the  potential  equity
interests held by Capital  Southwest  Corporation and Capital  Southwest Venture
Corporation (together, the "Company") in each issuer. Each percentage represents
the amount of the  issuer's  common  stock the Company  owns or can acquire as a
percentage of the issuer's total  outstanding  common stock, plus stock reserved
for all warrants,  convertible securities and employee stock options. The symbol
"<1%" indicates that the Company holds a potential  equity interest of less than
1%.

(b) 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  March  31,  2008,  restricted  securities  represented
approximately 90.4% of the value of the consolidated investment portfolio.

(c) Under the  valuation  policy of the  Company,  unrestricted  securities  are
valued at the closing sale price for NYSE 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 logic and  methodology of SFAS 157,
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.  The values of the
Company's  top four wholly or majority  owned assets  determined by our Board of
Directors,  were reviewed by a nationally-recognized  valuation firm as of March
31, 2008.

(d) Agreements  between certain issuers and the Company provide that the issuers
will bear  substantially  all costs in connection with the disposition of common
stock,  including those costs involved in registration  under the Securities Act
of 1933 but excluding underwriting  discounts and commissions.  These agreements
cover  common  stock  owned at March  31,  2008 and  common  stock  which may be
acquired   thereafter  through  the  exercise  of  warrants  and  conversion  of
debentures  and  preferred  stock.  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, Lifemark Group 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
our independent  registered public accounting firm.  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.

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 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, CSMC.

   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.

   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.

   Federal Income Taxes.  CSC and CSVC intend to comply with the requirements of
the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as regulated investment companies
(RICs).  By meeting  these  requirements,  they will not be subject to corporate
federal  income  taxes on  ordinary  income  distributed  to  shareholders.  The
Company's  policy  is to  retain  and  pay  the 35%  corporate  tax on  realized
long-term capital gains. For investment companies that qualify as RICs under the
IRC,  federal  income taxes payable on security gains that the company elects to
retain are accrued only on the last day of the tax year, December 31. Therefore,
CSC and CSVC made no  provision  for federal  income taxes on such gains and net
investment income in their financial statements.

   CSMC, a wholly owned  subsidiary  of CSC, is not a RIC and is required to pay
taxes at the current corporate rate.

   In June 2006,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  ("FASB")  issued
Interpretation No. 48 ("FIN 48"), 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



                                       15
<PAGE>


tax return.  The Company adopted FIN 48 on April 1, 2007, which had no effect on
the Company's financial statements.

Deferred Taxes.  The Company  sponsors a qualified  defined benefit pension plan
which  covers  its  employees  and  employees  of  certain  of its  wholly-owned
portfolio  companies.  Deferred taxes related to the qualified  defined  benefit
pension plan are recorded as incurred.

   Stock-Based   Compensation.   In  December  2004,  the  Financial  Accounting
Standards Board (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 that 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,  the Company  adopted  SFAS 123R using the modified
prospective transition method. The Company recognizes 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 are expensed over the
vesting  period of the related stock options.  Accordingly,  for the years ended
March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2007, the Company recognized  compensation  expense
of $263,664 and $169,003, respectively.

   As of March 31, 2008,  the total  remaining  unrecognized  compensation  cost
related to non-vested  stock options was $1,795,834 which will be amortized over
the weighted-average service period of approximately 5.90 years.

Defined Pension Benefits and Other Postretirement Plans
- -------------------------------------------------------

   Effective  March  31,  2007,  the  Company  adopted  Statement  of  Financial
Accounting  Standards (SFAS) No. 158, Employers'  Accounting for Defined Benefit
Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB Statements Nos. 87,
88, 106 and 132R (SFAS 158). SFAS 158 is required to be adopted on a prospective
basis and prior  year  financial  statements  and  related  disclosures  are not
permitted to be restated.  SFAS 158  requires an employer  that  sponsors one or
more postretirement defined benefit plan(s) to:

     o    Recognize the funded status of postretirement  defined benefit plans -
          measured as the  difference  between the fair value of plan assets and
          the benefit obligations - in its balance sheet.

     o    Recognize  changes  in the  funded  status of  postretirement  defined
          benefit plans in shareholder's equity in the year in which the changes
          occur.

     o    Measure  postretirement defined benefit plan assets and obligations as
          of the date of the employer's  fiscal year-end.  The Company presently
          uses March 31 as the  measurement  date for all of its  postretirement
          defined benefit plans.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
- --------------------------------

   In  September   2006,   the  FASB  issued   Statement  No.  157,  Fair  Value
Measurements,  ("SFAS 157").  Effective  April 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS
157. In February 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. 157-2,  Effective Date
of FASB  Statement No. 157 ("FSP  157-2"),  which delayed the effective  date of
SFAS 157 for certain  nonfinancial assets and liabilities,  including fair value



                                       16
<PAGE>

measurements  under  SFAS 141 and  SFAS 142 of  goodwill  and  other  intangible
assets,  to fiscal years  beginning  after  November 15,  2008.  Therefore,  the
Company has adopted the  provisions  of SFAS 157 with  respect to its  financial
assets  and  liabilities  only.  SFAS 157  defines  fair  value,  establishes  a
framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting  principles,
and expands  disclosures  about fair value  measurements.  Fair value is defined
under SFAS 157 as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid
to transfer a liability  (an exit price) in the  principal or most  advantageous
market for the asset or  liability  in an  orderly  transaction  between  market
participants on the measurement date.  Valuation techniques used to measure fair
value under SFAS 157 must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the
use of unobservable  inputs. The standard describes a fair value hierarchy based
on the following  three levels of inputs,  of which the first two are considered
observable  and the last  unobservable,  that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical  assets or  liabilities;
Level 2 - Inputs  other than Level 1 that are  observable,  either  directly  or
indirectly,  such as quoted  prices for similar  assets or  liabilities;  quoted
prices in markets that are not active;  or other inputs that are  observable  or
can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of
the assets or liabilities;  and Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported
by little or no market  activity and that are  significant  to the fair value of
the assets or  liabilities.  The Company is currently  evaluating this statement
and does not  anticipate  that the  adoption  of SFAS 157 will  have a  material
impact on our consolidated financial statements.

   In February  2007,  the FASB issued SFAS No. 159,  "The Fair Value Option for
Financial  Assets and  Financial  Liabilities"  ("SFAS  159").  SFAS 159 permits
entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items
at fair value and establishes  presentation and disclosure requirements designed
to facilitate  comparisons  between entities that choose  different  measurement
attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. The Company is currently
evaluating this statement and has made elections.  However,  our investments are
carried at fair value, the Company does not anticipate that this Statement would
have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

2.   Valuation of Investments

   The consolidated  financial  statements as of March 31, 2008 and 2007 include
restricted  securities  valued  at  $494,843,820  (90.4%  of  the  value  of the
consolidated  investment  portfolio) and $619,207,702 (90.9% 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.
Unrestricted  securities  are valued at the  closing  sale price for NYSE listed
securities  and at the lower of the closing bid price or the last sale price for
Nasdaq securities on the valuation date.

3.   Income Taxes

   For the tax years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, CSC and CSVC qualified to
be taxed as 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).  To the extent
that we retain capital gains and declare a deemed dividend to  shareholders,  at
the corporate rate, on the  distribution,  and the shareholders  would receive a
tax credit equal to their proportionate share of the tax paid.

   We  intend  to meet  the  applicable  qualifications  to be taxed as a RIC in
future  years;  management  feels it is probable  that we will  maintain our RIC
status for a period longer than one year;  however,  either company's ability to
meet certain portfolio diversification  requirements of RICs in future years may
not be controllable by such company.



                                       17

   As permitted by the Internal Revenue Code, a RIC can designate dividends paid
in the  subsequent  tax year as dividends of the current year  ordinary  taxable
income and long-term  capital gains if those  dividends are both declared by the
extended  due  date  of  the  RIC's  federal  income  tax  return  and  paid  to
shareholders by the last day of the subsequent tax year. For the tax years ended
December  31, 2007 and 2006 we  declared  and paid  dividends  in the amounts of
$2,333,291 and $2,323,150, respectively.

   Additionally, we are also subject to a nondeductible federal excise tax of 4%
if we do not distribute at least 98% of our investment  company ordinary taxable
income during our tax year.  For the tax years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006,
we distributed  100% of our investment  company  ordinary  taxable income.  As a
result,  we have made no provision for income taxes on ordinary  taxable  income
for the tax years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006.

   For the tax year ended  December 31, 2007, we have an estimated net long-term
capital loss of $961,655 for tax purposes and $860,118 for book purposes,  which
will be carried  forward and offset by future net long-term  capital gains.  For
the tax year ended  December 31, 2006,  we had net  long-term  capital  gains of
$31,659,140 for tax purposes and $31,932,775 for book purposes, which we elected
to retain and treat as a deemed  distribution to our  shareholders.  In order to
make the election to retain capital gains, we incurred and paid a federal tax on
behalf of our  shareholders  of $11,080,699  for the tax year ended December 31,
2006.

   CSMC, a wholly owned  subsidiary  of CSC, is not a RIC and is required to pay
taxes at the current  corporate rate. The Company  sponsors a qualified  defined
benefit  pension plan which covers its employees and employees of certain of our
wholly  owned  portfolio  companies.  Deferred  taxes  related to the  qualified
defined pension plan are recorded as incurred.


4.   Undistributed Net Realized Gains (Losses) on Investments

   Distributions   made  by  RICs  often   differ  from   aggregate   GAAP-basis
undistributed  net investment  income and  accumulated net realized gains (total
GAAP-basis net realized  gains).  The principal  cause is that required  minimum
fund distributions are based on income and gain amounts determined in accordance
with federal income tax regulations,  rather than GAAP. The differences  created
can be temporary,  meaning that they will reverse in the future,  or they can be
permanent.  In  subsequent  periods,  when  all  or a  portion  of  a  temporary
difference  becomes  a  permanent  difference,   the  amount  of  the  permanent
difference will be reclassified to "additional capital."

   For income tax  purposes,  the  $11,417,283  and  $13,573,139  are treated as
deemed  distributions  to our  shareholders for the tax years ended December 31,
2006 and 2005. We  reclassified  the deemed  distribution,  net of tax, from our
undistributed  net realized earnings capital in excess of par value. For the tax
year ended  December 31,  2004,  to the extent we had capital  gains,  they were
fully offset by either capital losses or capital loss carry forwards.

   As of March 31, 2008 and 2007, our  undistributed net realized gains (losses)
on  investments   determined  in  accordance  with  GAAP  as  reflected  on  our
consolidated statement of financial condition were comprised of the following:

     As of March 31,                          2008               2007

     Undistributed net realized gains
     (losses) on investments               ($2,860,118)      ($3,100,142)

5.   Employee Stock Option Plan

   On July 19, 1999, shareholders approved the 1999 Stock Option


                                       18
<PAGE>

Plan ("Plan"), which provided for the granting of stock options to employees and
officers  of the  Company  and  authorized  the  issuance  of common  stock upon
exercise of such options for up to 140,000 shares. All options are granted at or
above  market  price,  generally  expire 10 years from the date of grant and are
generally  exercisable on or after the first anniversary of the date of grant in
5 to 10 annual installments.

   At March 31, 2008,  there were 37,500  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 0.64%, 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 0.61%, risk-free interest rate
of 5.04%,  expected  volatility of 21.2%,  and expected life of 7 years. The per
share  weighted-average fair value of the stock options granted on July 16, 2007
was $41.78 per option using the  Black-Scholes  pricing model with the following
assumptions: expected dividend yield of 0.39%, risk-free interest rate of 4.95%,
expected volatility of 19.9%, and expected life of 5 years.

   The  following  summarizes  activity in the stock  option plans for the years
ended March 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006:

those options was $79.01, $78.51 and $69.01, 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.

   Effective  April 1, 2007,  the  vesting  period for the ESOP is three  years.
During the 3 years ended March 31, 2008, the Company made  contributions  to the
ESOP,  which were charged  against net  investment  income,  of $94,210 in 2008,
$84,488 in 2007 and $99,167 in 2006.

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 10 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, 2008.

   The following tables set forth the qualified  plan's benefit  obligations and
fair value of plan assets at March 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006:

   The Company also sponsors an unfunded Retirement Restoration Plan, which is a
nonqualified  plan  that  provides  for the  payment,  upon  retirement,  of the
difference  between the maximum annual payment  permissible  under the qualified
retirement  plan  pursuant  to Federal  limitations  and the amount  which would
otherwise have been payable under the qualified plan.

March 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 of $51,885, $73,619 and $76,417, respectively, are
offset against the net pension benefit from the qualified plan.

   The following assumptions were used in estimating the actuarial present value
of the projected benefit obligations:

                                             Years Ended March 31

Rate of compensation increases.....     5.0%          5.0%         5.0%

   The  following   assumptions   were  used  in  estimating  the  net  periodic
(income)/expense:
                                             Years Ended March 31

Rate of compensation increases.....     5.0%          5.0%         5.0%

   The expected rate of return on assets  assumption was determined based on the
anticipated performance of the various asset classes in the plan's portfolio and
the allocation of assets to each class.  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:

   The Company's pension plan is administered by a board-appointed  committee of
that has fiduciary responsibility for the plan's management.  The trustee of the

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.

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, 2008. 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,  2008,  the
Company's internal control over financial reporting was effective.

   During the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2008, the Company  implemented  the
following  control in order to remediate the material  weakness we identified in
our  internal  controls  over  accounting  for  taxes,  which  resulted  in  the
restatement of our  consolidated  financial  statements for the year ended March
31,  2007 and years  represented  in our Form 10-K for the year ended  March 31,
2007.

     o    On a quarterly  basis the Company will  consult with a RIC  compliance
          expert, on our current RIC status and the potential impact of proposed
          transactions  and  scenarios on the  Company's  future RIC  compliance
          status. The Company has engaged KPMG, LLP to serve in this capacity.

   There were no other changes to our internal controls over financial reporting
that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our
internal controls over financial reporting.

   Grant Thornton LLP, the independent  registered  public  accounting firm that
audited our consolidated  financial statements included in this annual report on
Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2008, has issued an attestation report on
our internal control over financial  reporting as of March 31, 2008. That report
appears on the next page.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm


Board of Directors and Shareholders
Capital Southwest Corporation

   We have audited  Capital  Southwest  Corporation  (a Texas  Corporation)  and
subsidiaries',  (the "Company")  internal control over financial reporting as of
March 31, 2008,  based on criteria  established in Internal  Control--Integrated
Framework  issued by the Committee of Sponsoring  Organizations  of the Treadway
Commission  (COSO).  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,  included in the
accompanying  Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial  Reporting.
Our  responsibility  is to express an opinion on 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). 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, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing
and evaluating the design and operating  effectiveness of internal control based
on the assessed  risk,  and  performing  such other  procedures as we considered
necessary in the circumstances.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable
basis for our opinion.

   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
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, the Company maintained,  in all material respects,  effective
internal  control  over  financial  reporting  as of March  31,  2008,  based on
criteria established in Internal Control--Integrated Framework issued by COSO.

   We also have audited,  in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting  Oversight  Board  (United  States),  the  consolidated  statement of
financial condition of the Company as of March 31, 2008 and 2007,  including the
portfolio  of  investments  as of March 31, 2008,  and the related  consolidated
statements of operations,  changes in net assets,  cash flows,  and the selected
per share data and ratios for each of the three years in the period  ended March
31, 2008, and our report dated May 23, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm


Board of Directors and Shareholders
Capital Southwest Corporation

   We  have  audited  the  accompanying  consolidated  statements  of  financial
condition  of  Capital   Southwest   Corporation  (a  Texas   Corporation)   and
subsidiaries  (the  "Company")  as of March  31,  2008 and 2007,  including  the
portfolio  of  investments  as of March 31, 2008,  and the related  consolidated
statements  of  operations,  changes in net  assets,  cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended March 31, 2008,  and the selected per share data
and ratios for each of the four years in the period ended March 31, 2008.  These
financial statements and per share data and ratios are the responsibility of the
Company's  management.  Our  responsibility  is to  express  an opinion on these
financial  statements  and per share data and ratios  based on our  audits.  The
selected  per share  data and ratios for the year  ended  March 31,  2004,  were
audited by another  independent  registered  public accounting firm whose report
dated May 12, 2004,  except for Note 2, which is as of January 9, 2008 expressed
an unqualified opinion.

   We  conducted  our  audits in  accordance  with the  standards  of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that
we plan and perform the audit to obtain  reasonable  assurance about whether the
financial statements and selected per share data and ratios are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included
verification  by examination of securities held by the custodian as of March 31,
2008 and 2007, and  confirmation  of securities  not held by the  custodian.  An
audit also includes  assessing the accounting  principles  used and  significant
estimates  made by  management,  as well as  evaluating  the  overall  financial
statement  presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable  basis
for our opinion.

   In our opinion,  the consolidated  financial  statements and the selected per
share  data  and  ratios  referred  to above  present  fairly,  in all  material
respects,  the consolidated  financial position of Capital Southwest Corporation
and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2008 and 2007, and the consolidated  results of
its operations,  changes in its net assets, its cash flows for each of the three
years in the period  ended March 31,  2008,  and the selected per share data and
ratios  for each of the four  years in the  period  ended  March  31,  2008,  in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.

   As described in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements,  the Company
adopted the provisions of Financial  Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement
of Financial Accounting  Standards No. 123 (revised 2004),  Share-Based Payment,
effective  April 1, 2006. As described in Note 7 to the  consolidated  financial
statements,  the  Company  also  adopted the  provisions  of FASB  Statement  of
Financial  Accounting  Standards  No.  158,  Employers'  Accounting  for Defined
Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement  Plans: An Amendment of FASB Statements
No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R), effective March 31, 2008.

   We also have audited,  in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting  Oversight Board (United States),  Capital Southwest  Corporation and
subsidiaries'  internal  control over financial  reporting as of March 31, 2008,
based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by
the Committee of Sponsoring  Organizations  of the Treadway  Commission  and our
report dated May 23, 2008, expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

                     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 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  based on the  Company's  tax year.  The third element is the
"Net  increase 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. It should be noted that the "Net realized gain (loss)
on investments" and "Net increase 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 $1,421,048 in 2008,  $1,187,676 in 2007 and $257,374 in 2006. The
Company also receives management fees primarily from its wholly-owned  portfolio
companies which  aggregated  $784,800 in 2008,  $626,400 in 2007 and $792,570 in
2006. During the three years ended March 31, 2008, the Company recorded dividend
income from the following sources:

                                     ==========  ==========  ==========

   Total operating expenses,  excluding interest expense,  increased by $742,951
or 33.4%  during  the year  ended  March  31,  2008.  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,  professional and
accounting fees and the net pension benefit.

Net Realized Gain (Loss) on Investments

   Net realized gain on investments was $240,024 during the year ended March 31,
2008,  compared  with a  gain  of  $14,966,296  (after  income  tax  expense  of



                                       28
<PAGE>

$11,080,699)  during  2007  and a  gain  of  $15,450,903  (after  income  tax of
$4,827,663)  during 2006.  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 in Unrealized Appreciation of Investments

   For the three  years  ended  March 31, the  Company  recorded  a decrease  in
unrealized appreciation of investments of $142,969,698,  in 2008 and an increase
of $147,681,609 and $124,355,303,  in 2007 and 2006, 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  excluding the
effect of gains or losses  realized  during the year by  portfolio  company  for
securities held at the end of each year.

    As shown in the table above for the year ended March 31, 2008,  we sustained
major increases in The RectorSeal  Corporation,  LifeMark Group and The Whitmore
Manufacturing   Company.   The  $46,200,000   increase  in  RectorSeal  and  the
$12,000,000  increase in Whitmore were  attributable to strong earnings  derived
from organic growth and the performance of recent acquisitions. LifeMark Group's
$31,000,000 increase is attributable to an increase in value of its cemetery and
funeral  home  operations  including  the new Lifemark  Center  Funeral Home and
continued escalations in non-business land values.

   Offsetting these major increases were significant decreases in Heely's, Inc.,
Palm  Harbor  Homes,  Inc.,  and  Encore  Wire  Corporation.  While the  Heely's
investment  represented  our largest  holding at March 31, 2007,  the market for
Heely's stock  declined  during the year to a level that  decreased our value by
$160,724,088.  Palm Harbor's  decrease of $39,275,516 is attributable to several
financial  setbacks as the residual real estate  markets eroded during the year.
Additionally,  Encore Wire experienced adversity related to the eroding residual
markets and severe  competition  that had  negative  impact on its market  price
prompting us to decrease our value by $18,390,625.

   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, 2008."

Portfolio Investments

   During the year ended March 31, 2008,  the Company  invested  $10,733,536  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 2007 and 2006 fiscal years, the Company invested a total
of $803,269 and $15,054,741, respectively.

Financial Liquidity and Capital Resources

   At March 31, 2008, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately
$31.3 million. Pursuant to Small Business Administration (SBA) regulations, cash
and cash  equivalents  of $4.7  million held by CSVC may not be  transferred  or



                                       29
<PAGE>

advanced to CSC without the consent of the SBA.  Under  current SBA  regulations
and  subject  to the SBA's  approval  of its credit  application,  CSVC would be
entitled to borrow up to $16.4 million.

   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
39 years. Retention of future gains is viewed as an important source of funds to
sustain the Company's  investment  activity.  Approximately $52.7 million of the
Company's  investment  portfolio is represented by unrestricted  publicly-traded
securities 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 Lifemark
Group,  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.

    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, 2008. For further information see Note 8 of the Consolidated Financial

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 NYSE 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.



                                       30
<PAGE>

   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.

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.

Stock Transfer Agent

   American Stock  Transfer & Trust Company,  59 Maiden Lane, New York, NY 10038
(telephone  800-937-5449)  serves as  transfer  agent for the  Company's  common
stock.  Certificates to be transferred should be mailed directly to the transfer
agent, preferably by registered mail.

   The Company had approximately 700 record holders of its common stock at March
31,  2008.  This total does not include an  estimated  4,000  shareholders  with
shares held under beneficial  ownership in nominee name or within  clearinghouse
positions of brokerage firms or banks.

Market Prices

   The  Company's  common  stock  trades on The Nasdaq  Global  Market under the
symbol CSWC.  The  following  high and low selling  prices for the shares during
each quarter of the last two fiscal years were taken from quotations provided to
the Company by Nasdaq:

Dividends

   The payment dates and amounts of cash dividends per share since April 1, 2006
are as follows:

Payment Date                                              Cash Dividend
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
May 31, 2006..............................................    $0.20
November 30, 2006.........................................     0.40
May 31, 2007..............................................     0.20
November 30, 2007.........................................     0.40
May 31, 2008..............................................     0.40

   The amounts and timing of cash dividend payments have generally been dictated
by  requirements  of the Internal  Revenue Code  regarding the  distribution  of
taxable  net  investment  income  (ordinary  income)  of  regulated   investment
companies.   Instead  of  distributing   realized  long-term  capital  gains  to
shareholders,  the Company has  ordinarily  elected to retain such gains to fund
future investments.

   As a service to its  shareholders,  the Company offers an Automatic  Dividend
Reinvestment and Optional Cash  Contribution Plan for shareholders of record who
own a minimum of 25 shares.  The Company pays all costs of administration of the

                                 CERTIFICATIONS

I, Gary L. Martin 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 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.
