Item 1.

Security and Issuer


This Statement relates to the shares of Common Stock (the "Shares") of Brantley Capital Corporation  ("Brantley” or the "Issuer").  The principal executive offices of Brantley are located at 20600 Chagrin Boulevard, Suite 1150, Cleveland, Ohio 44122.


Item 2.

Identity and Background


THE PURPOSE OF THIS FILING IS ONLY TO REALIGN AND RESTATE THE PREVIOUS HOLDINGS IN BRANTLEY CAPITAL CORPORATION WHICH MAY BE DEEMED TO BE BENEFICIALLY OWNED AS OF JANUARY 31, 2003 TO THE ENTITIES DESCRIBED HEREIN BASED ON THE EVENTS WHICH HAVE TRANSPIRED SINCE THE LAST FILING.


Prior to January 2, 2003, Richard A. Barone, an individual ("Mr. Barone") served as an outside portfolio manager to Fifth Third Bancorp's ("FTB") asset management subsidiary, Fifth Third Investment Advisors ("FTIA"), and a named advisor under FTIA's ADV filing.  In this capacity, Mr. Barone had investment management discretion for the Fifth Third Multi Cap Value Fund, and Fifth Third Micro Cap Value Fund.  He also had management discretion for a variety of FTIA's individual and institutional clients.  He had no voting power for the securities owned by these Funds and clients.


FTB, an Ohio corporation, is a registered financial holding company and a bank holding company. FTB provides a diversified range of banking and nonbanking services and products. FTB's principal office is located in Cincinnati, Ohio and its common stock is traded in the over-the-counter market through The Nasdaq National Market under the symbol "FITB."


Mr. Barone's agreement with FTB was modified just prior to December 31, 2002, so that after January 2, 2003, he no longer was named a manager with investment discretion over the Fifth Third Multi Cap Value Fund, Fifth Third Micro Cap Value Fund, and a number of individual and institutional accounts.  It was agreed that Mr. Barone would remain an advisor under FTIA's ADV filing through March 31, 2003, during which time he would continue to manage a small number of individual and institutional clients ("Remaining Clients") for FTIA.  Mr. Barone continues to be subject to a non competition agreement with FTB through January 2, 2004.


Mr. Barone is also Chairman and controlling shareholder of Ancora Capital Inc. ("Ancora Capital"), whose main subsidiary is Ancora Securities Inc. "Ancora Securities"), a Nevada corporation, registered as a broker/dealer with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and the National Association of Securities Dealers ("NASD").  Ancora Capital and Ancora Securities share a place of business at One Chagrin Highlands, 2000 Auburn Drive, Suite 420, Cleveland,

Ohio 44122.


Mr. Barone is also the sole owner of Ancora Advisors LLC ("AA"), a newly formed investment advisor registered with the SEC.  After March 31, 2003, subject to a variety of signed agreements, AA expects to become the investment advisor to the Remaining Clients.  AA's principal place of business is One Chagrin Highlands, 2000 Auburn Drive, Suite 430, Cleveland, Ohio 44122.


Mr. Barone and the other entities named herein each disclaim membership in a Group as such term is defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Rules and Regulations promulgated thereunder.


Mr. Barone has never been convicted in a criminal proceeding and has never been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction, as a result of which he was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.
