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.

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:

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.

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:

        of Operations
        (continued)

Net Increase (Decrease) in Unrealized Appreciation of Investments

         Set forth in the  following  table are the  significant  increases  and
decreases  in  unrealized  appreciation  (before the related  change in deferred
income taxes and  excluding  the effect of gains or losses  realized  during the
periods) by portfolio company:

                                             Three Months Ended
                                                  June 30

                                         -----------    -----------
          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.
