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 Sections 55 through 65 of the 1940 Act, as amended
by the Small Business Incentive Act of 1980. Because we wholly own CSVC, the
portfolios of both entities are referred to collectively as "our", "we" and
"us".
We are a venture capital investment company whose objective is to
achieve capital appreciation through long-term investments in businesses
believed to have favorable growth potential. Our investment interests are
focused on expansion financings, management buyouts, recapitalizations, industry
consolidations and early-stage financings in a broad range of industry segments.
The portfolio is a composite of companies in which we have major interests as
well as a number of developing companies and marketable securities of
established publicly-owned companies. We make available significant managerial
assistance to the companies in which we invest and believe that providing
material assistance to such investee companies is critical to their business
development activities.
The twelve largest investments we own had a combined cost of
$42,496,262 and a value of $356,795,966, representing 87.7% of the value of our
consolidated investment portfolio at March 31, 2004. For a narrative description
of the twelve largest investments, see "Twelve Largest Investments - March 31,
2004" on pages 7 through 9 of our Annual Report to Shareholders for the Year
Ended March 31, 2004 (our "2004 Annual Report") which is herein incorporated by
reference. Certain of the information presented on the twelve largest
investments has been obtained from the respective companies and, in certain
cases, from public filings of such companies. The financial information
presented on each of the respective companies is from such companies' financial
statements, which in some instances are unaudited.
We compete for attractive investment opportunities with venture capital
partnerships and corporations, venture capital affiliates of industrial and
financial companies, SBICs and wealthy individuals.
The number of persons employed by us at March 31, 2004 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 2. Properties
We maintain our offices at 12900 Preston Road, Suite 700, Dallas,
Texas, 75230, where we rent approximately 3,700 square feet of office space
pursuant to a lease agreement expiring in February 2008. We believe that our
offices are adequate to meet our current and expected future needs.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
We have no material pending legal proceedings to which we are a party
or to which any of our property is subject.

PART II
Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters
and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
Information set forth under the captions "Shareholder Information -
Shareholders, Market Prices and Dividends" on page 33 of our 2004 Annual Report
is herein incorporated by reference.
Item 6. Selected Financial Data
"Selected Consolidated Financial Data" on page 32 of our 2004 Annual
Report is herein incorporated by reference.
Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
Pages 29 through 31 of our 2004 Annual Report are herein incorporated
by reference.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in
marketable equity security prices. We do not use derivative financial
instruments to mitigate any of these risks. The return on our investments is not
materially affected by foreign currency fluctuations.
Our investment in portfolio securities consists of fixed rate debt
securities which totaled $4,729,493 at March 31, 2004, equivalent to 1.16% of
the value of our total investments. Since these debt securities usually have
relatively high fixed rates of interest, minor changes in market yields of
2
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 would 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 stock 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 price would result in an identical change in the fair
value of our investment in such security.
Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
Pages 10 through 28 of our 2004 Annual Report are herein incorporated

Statement Schedules, and Reports on Form 8-K".
