An Update from Fund Management

For the six months ended December 31, 2004, the Gabelli Capital Asset Fund (the “Fund”) returned 9.67%. The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (the “S&P 500”) and Russell 2000 Index gained 7.19% and 10.83%, respectively, over the same period. Each index is an unmanaged indicator of stock market performance. For the year ended on the same date, the Fund advanced 15.54% versus the S&P 500’s 10.87% and Russell 2000 Index’s 18.33% gains.

For the five year period ended December 31, 2004, the Fund’s total return averaged 7.74% annually, versus average annual total returns of (2.30)% and 6.61% for the S&P 500 and Russell 2000 Indices, respectively. Since inception on May 1, 1995 through December 31, 2004, the Fund had a cumulative total return of 233.30%, which equates to an average annual total return of 13.24%.

In the first half of 2004, increased merger and acquisition activity helped surface value in the portfolio, with several portfolio companies being taken over at substantial premiums to market price. The flurry of deal activity in the last six weeks of the year further benefited the portfolio. In general, our investments in the wireless communications, hotel/gaming, housing, and utilities industries performed very well. The lackluster performance of advertising supported media stocks, a sector in which we have substantial commitments, restrained relative returns.

The Fund’s focus is on free cash flow: earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) minus the capital expenditures necessary to grow the business. We believe free cash flow is the best barometer of a business’ value. Rising free cash flow often foreshadows net earnings improvement. We also look at earnings per share trends and we try to position ourselves in front of long term earnings uptrends. We analyze on and off balance sheet assets and liabilities such as plant and equipment, inventories, receivables, and legal, environmental and health care issues. We want to know everything and anything that will add to, or detract from, our private market value (“PMV”) estimates. Finally, we look for a catalyst: something happening in the company’s industry or indigenous to the company itself that will surface value. Once we identify stocks that qualify as fundamental and conceptual bargains, we then become patient investors. We believe this has been a proven long term method for preserving and enhancing wealth in the U.S. equity markets.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2004

1.    Organization

The Gabelli Capital Asset Fund (the “Fund”) is a series of Gabelli Capital Series Funds, Inc. (the “Company”), which was organized on April 8, 1993 as a Maryland corporation. The Company is a diversified, open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund’s primary objective is growth of capital. Current income is a secondary objective. The Fund commenced investment operations on May 1, 1995. Shares of the Fund are available to the public only through the purchase of certain variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts issued by The Guardian Insurance & Annuity Company, Inc. (“Guardian”) and other selected insurance companies.

2.    Significant Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.

Security Valuation

Portfolio securities listed or traded on a nationally recognized securities exchange or traded in the U.S. over-the-counter market for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last quoted sale price or a market’s official closing price as of the close of business on the day the securities are being valued. If there were no sales that day, the security is valued at the average of the closing bid and asked prices or, if there were no asked prices quoted on that day, then the security is valued at the closing bid price on that day. If no bid or asked prices are quoted on such day, the security is valued at the most recently available price or, if the Board of Directors (the “Board”) so determines, by such other method as the Board shall determine in good faith, to reflect its fair market value. Portfolio securities traded on more than one national securities exchange or market are valued according to the broadest and most representative market, as determined by Gabelli Funds, LLC (the “Adviser”).

Portfolio securities primarily traded on foreign markets are generally valued at the preceding closing values of such securities on their respective exchanges or if after the close of the foreign markets, but prior to the close of business on the day the securities are being valued, market conditions change significantly, certain foreign securities may be fair valued pursuant to procedures established by the Board. Debt instruments that are not credit impaired with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, unless the Board determines such amount does not reflect the securities’ fair value, in which case these securities will be valued at their fair value as determined by the Board. Debt instruments having a maturity greater than 60 days for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the latest average of the bid and asked prices. If there were no asked prices quoted on such day, the security is valued using the closing bid price. Futures contracts are valued at the closing settlement price of the exchange or board of trade on which the applicable contract is traded.

Securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Board. Fair valuation methodologies and procedures may include, but are not limited to: analysis and review of available financial and non-financial information about the company; comparisons to the valuation and changes in valuation of similar securities, including a comparison of foreign securities to the equivalent U.S. dollar value ADR securities at the close of the U.S. exchange; and evaluation of any other information that could be indicative of the value of the security.

Securities Transactions and Investment Income

Securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date with realized gain or loss on the sale of investments determined by using the identified cost method. Interest income (including amortization of premium and accretion of discount) is recorded as earned. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Expenses

Certain administrative expenses are common to, and allocated among, various affiliated funds. Such allocations are made on the basis of each Fund’s average net assets or other criteria directly affecting the expenses as determined by the Adviser pursuant to procedures established by the Board.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders

Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions to shareholders

ⁿ Gabelli Capital Asset Fund

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

December 31, 2004

are based on ordinary income and long-term capital gains as determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from income and capital gains as determined under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments of income and gains on various investment securities held by the Fund, timing differences and differing characterizations of distributions made by the Fund.

For the year ended December 31, 2004, reclassifications were made to decrease accumulated net investment income by $2,109 and to decrease accumulated net realized loss on investments by $20,476 with an offsetting adjustment to additional paid in capital.

The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003 were as follows:

	Year Ended December 31, 2004		Year Ended December 31, 2003
Distributions paid from:
Ordinary income (inclusive of short term capital gains)	$	2,456,201	$	207,052
Net long term capital gains		6,591,694		201,569
Total Taxable Distribution:	$	9,047,895	$	408,621

Provision for Income Taxes

The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). It is the Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its net investment company taxable income and net capital gains. Therefore, no provision for Federal income taxes is required.

The difference between book basis and tax basis unrealized appreciation is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

As of December 31, 2004, the components of accumulated earnings/(losses) on a tax basis were as follows:

Net unrealized appreciation	$	54,140,289
Total accumulated earnings	$	54,140,289

3.    Agreements with Affiliated Parties

Pursuant to a management agreement (the “Management Agreement”), the Fund will pay Guardian Investor Services Corporation (the “Manager”) a fee, computed daily and paid monthly, at the annual rate of 1.00% of the value of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement among the Fund, the Manager and the Adviser, the Adviser, under the supervision of the Company’s Board of Directors and the Manager, manages the Fund’s assets in accordance with the Fund’s investment objectives and policies, makes investment decisions for the Fund, places purchase and sale orders on behalf of the Fund, provides investment research and provides facilities and personnel required for the Fund’s administrative needs. The Adviser may delegate its administrative role and currently has done so to PFPC Inc., the Fund’s sub-administrator (the “Sub-Administrator”). The Adviser will supervise the performance of administrative and professional services provided by others and pays the compensation of the Sub-Administrator and all officers and Directors of the Company who are its affiliates. As compensation for its services and the related expenses borne by the Adviser, the Manager pays the Adviser a fee, computed daily and paid monthly, at the annual rate of 0.75% of the value of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

4.    Portfolio Securities

Purchases and proceeds from the sales of securities for the year ended December 31, 2004, other than short term securities, aggregated $84,742,441 and $58,927,363, respectively.

5.    Transactions with Affiliates

During the year ended December 31, 2004, the Fund paid brokerage commissions of $203,464 to Gabelli & Company, Inc.

The cost of calculating the Fund’s net asset value per share is a Fund expense pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement among the Fund, the Manager and the Adviser. During the year ended December 31, 2004, the Fund reimbursed the Adviser $34,800 in connection with the cost of computing the Fund’s net asset value, which is included in miscellaneous expenses in the Statement of Operations.

The Fund is assuming the allocated cost of the Gabelli Funds’ Chief Compliance Officer in the amount of $1,556 for the period October 1, 2004 through December 31, 2004.

6.    Line of Credit

The Fund has access to an unsecured line of credit of up to $25,000,000 from the custodian for temporary borrowing purposes. Borrowings under this arrangement bear interest at 0.75% above the Federal Funds rate on outstanding balances. There were no borrowings during the year ended December 31, 2004.

Net increase (decrease)	89,283		(16,440	)	$	2,076,392		$	2,316,212

8.    Other Matters

On October 7, 2003, Gabelli Asset Management Inc. (“GBL”), the parent company of the Fund’s Adviser, received a subpoena from the Attorney General of the State of New York requesting information on mutual fund shares trading practices. GBL has also received a subpoena and letters from the SEC requesting information about mutual fund share trading practices. GBL is responding to these requests. The Fund does not believe that these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Fund’s financial position or the results of its operations.

9.    Indemnifications

The Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

Report of Independent Registered

Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of the Gabelli Capital Asset Fund

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of the Gabelli Capital Asset Fund (the “Fund”), a series of Gabelli Capital Series Funds, Inc., as of December 31, 2004, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

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 financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2004, by correspondence with the Fund’s custodian. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Gabelli Capital Asset Fund at December 31, 2004, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Disclosure of Fund Expenses (Unaudited)

For the Six Month Period July 1, 2004 through December 31, 2004

Expense Table

We believe it is important for you to understand the impact of fees and expenses regarding your investment. All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a shareholder of a fund, you incur ongoing costs, which include costs for portfolio management, administrative services, and shareholder reports (like this one), among others. Operating expenses, which are deducted from a fund’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of a fund. When a fund’s expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets, this figure is known as the expense ratio. The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your Fund and to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period.

The Expense Table below illustrates your Fund’s costs in two ways:

Actual Fund Return: This section provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use this section to help you to estimate the actual expenses that you paid over the period after any fee waivers and expense reimbursements. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from the Fund’s actual return during the past six months, and the “Expenses Paid During Period” shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the Fund. You may use this information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period.

To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for your Fund under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid during this period.

Hypothetical 5% Return: This section provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio. It assumes a hypothetical annualized return of 5% before expenses during the period shown. In this case — because the hypothetical return used is not the Fund’s actual return — the results do not apply to your investment and you cannot use the hypothetical account value and expense to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. This example is useful in making comparisons of the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees, if any, which would be described in the Prospectus. If these costs were applied to your account, your costs would be higher. Therefore, the 5% hypothetical return is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. The “Annualized Expense Ratio” represents the actual expenses for the period and may be different from the expense ratio in the Financial Highlights which is for the year ended December 31, 2004.

	Beginning Account Value 7/1/04		Ending Account Value 12/31/04		Annualized Expense Ratio	Expenses Paid During Period*
Capital Asset Fund
Actual Fund Return
Capital Asset Fund	$	1,000.00	$	1,096.70	1.11%	$	5.85
Hypothetical 5% Return
Capital Asset Fund	$	1,000.00	$	1,019.56	1.11%	$	5.63

* Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio for the last six months multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year, then divided by 366.

(e)(1) Disclose the audit committee’s pre-approval policies and procedures described in paragraph (c)(7) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures. The Audit Committee (“Committee”) of the registrant is responsible for pre-approving (i) all audit and permissible non-audit services to be provided by the independent auditors to the registrant and (ii) all permissible non-audit services to be provided by the independent auditors to the Adviser, Gabelli Funds, LLC, and any affiliate of Gabelli Funds, LLC (“Gabelli”) that provides services to the registrant (a “Covered Services Provider”) if the independent auditors’ engagement related directly to the operations and financial reporting of the registrant. The Committee may delegate its responsibility to pre-approve any such audit and permissible non-audit services to the Chairperson of the Committee, and the Chairperson must report to the Committee, at its next regularly scheduled meeting after the Chairperson’s pre-approval of such services, his or her decision(s). The Committee may also establish detailed pre-approval policies and procedures for pre-approval of such services in accordance with applicable laws, including the delegation of some or all of the Committee’s pre-approval responsibilities to the other persons (other than Gabelli or the registrant’s officers). Pre-approval by the Committee of any permissible non-audit services is not required so long as: (i) the aggregate amount of all such permissible non-audit services provided to the registrant, Gabelli and any Covered Services Provider constitutes not more than 5% of the total amount of revenues paid by the registrant to its independent auditors during the fiscal year in which the permissible non-audit services are provided; (ii) the permissible non-audit services were not recognized by the registrant at the time of the engagement to be non-audit services; and (iii) such services are promptly brought to the attention of the Committee and approved by the Committee or Chairperson prior to the completion of the audit.

(e)(2) The percentage of services described in each of paragraphs (b) through (d) of this Item that were approved by the audit committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X are as follows:

(b) N/A

(c) 100%

(d) N/A

(f) The percentage of hours expended on the principal accountant’s engagement to audit the registrant’s financial statements for the most recent fiscal year that were attributed to work performed by persons other than the principal accountant’s full-time, permanent employees was zero percent (0%).

(g) The aggregate non-audit fees billed by the registrant’s accountant for services rendered to the registrant, and rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant for each of the last two fiscal years of the registrant was $68,600 in 2004 and $62,400 in 2003.

(h) The registrant’s audit committee of the board of directors has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.
