| | The interim financial statements have been prepared by Brantley
	Capital Corporation (the Company) pursuant to the
	rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
	(the Commission) applicable to quarterly reports on
	Form 10-Q. Certain information and footnote disclosures
	normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
	with generally accepted accounting principles have been
	condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations,
	although management believes that the disclosures are adequate
	to make the information presented not misleading. These
	financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
	audited financial statements and related notes and schedules
	included in the Companys 2000 Annual Report filed on
	Form 10-K dated December 31, 2000.
|
| | The unaudited financial statements reflect, in the opinion of
	management, all adjustments, all of which are of a normal
	recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the financial
	position of the Company as of June 30, 2001, the results of
	its operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2001, the
	results of its operations for the six months ended June 30,
	2001, and its cash flows for the six months ended June 30,
	2001. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results
	to be expected for a full fiscal year.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
|
| | Privately placed securities are carried at fair value as
	determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Board
	of Directors. Generally, the fair value of each security
	initially will be based primarily upon its original cost to the
	Company. Cost will be the primary factor used to determine fair
	value on an ongoing basis until significant developments or
	other factors affecting the investment (such as results of the
	portfolio companys operations, changes in the general
	market conditions, subsequent financings or the availability of
	market quotations) provide a basis for value other than cost
	valuation.                                                                                                                                                                                        
|
| | Portfolio investments listed on an exchange or traded on NASDAQ
	National Market are valued at the closing price listed on their
	respective exchange or system on the date of valuation.
	Securities traded in the over-the-counter market will be valued
	on the average of the closing bid and asked prices on the day of
	valuation.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     
|
| | Debt securities with 60 days or less remaining to maturity
	will be valued at amortized cost.

Item 2.  Managements Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The Company is a closed end, non-diversified investment company
that has elected to be treated as a business development
company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended (the Act). The Company invests primarily in
the equity and equity-linked debt securities of private
companies. The Companys principal investment objective is
the realization of long-term capital appreciation in the value
of such investments. In addition, whenever feasible in light of
market conditions and the cash flow characteristics of its
portfolio companies, the Company seeks to provide an element of
current income primarily from interest, dividends, and fees paid
by its portfolio companies.

This report contains certain statements of a forward-looking
nature relating to future events or the future financial
performance of the Company and its investment portfolio
companies. Words such as may, will,
expect, believe, anticipate,
intend, could, estimate,
might, or continue or the negative or
other variations thereof or comparable terminology are intended
to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are only
predictions and the actual events or results may differ
materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking
statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such
differences include, but are not limited to, those relating to
investment capital demand, pricing, market acceptance, the
effect of economic conditions, litigation and the effect of
regulatory proceedings, competitive forces, the results of
financing and investing efforts, minimum net asset value
appreciation targets, potential portfolio liquidity events, the
ability to complete transactions and other risks identified
below or in the Companys filings with the Commission.
Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these
forward-looking statements, which are as of the date hereof. The
Company undertakes no obligation to publicly revise these
forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances
occurring after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of
unanticipated events. The following analysis of the financial
condition and results of operations of the Company should be
read in conjunction with the Financial Statements, the Notes
thereto, and the other financial information included elsewhere
in this report.




Results of Operations

The Company began operations upon the completion of an initial
public offering on December 3, 1996. Its principal
investment objective is the realization of long-term capital
appreciation in the value of its investments. In addition,
whenever feasible in light of market conditions and the cash
flow characteristics of its portfolio companies, the Company
seeks to provide an element of current income primarily from
interest, dividends, and fees paid by its portfolio companies.
Pending the completion of equity and equity-linked debt security
investments that meet the Companys investment objectives,
available funds are invested in short-term securities. Dividend
and interest income on investments for the six months ended
June 30, 2001 and 2000 were $853,881, and $1,168,898,
respectively. The significant components of total operating
expenses were advisory fees of $723,075 and $775,010 to the
Investment Adviser during the six-months ended June 30,
2001 and 2000, respectively.

During the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000,
the Companys equity and equity-linked debt security
investments resulted in net realized and unrealized gains on
investment transactions of $3,940,720 and $663,010,
respectively. The Company has invested in various small
capitalization public stocks which are subject to general stock
market and business conditions and the ten private investments
described below (See Financial Condition, Liquidity and
Capital Resources). The realized and unrealized gains have
been significantly influenced by these general stock market and
business conditions as well as the additional financing
transactions of Flight Options International, Inc., as more
fully described under Financial Conditions, Liquidity and
Capital Resources.




Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 2001, the Company had $10,226,227 in cash and
cash equivalents. The Company invested the proceeds of the
initial public offering on a short-term basis pending completion
of investments in equity and equity-linked debt securities of
private companies and post-venture small capitalization public
companies. Management believes that cash and cash equivalents
together with proceeds from investments will provide the Company
with the liquidity necessary to pay operating expenses of the
Company and make follow-on investments. However, because of the
quality and quantity of the Companys potential investment
opportunities and the expectation that the Company could be
fully invested in the next twelve months, management is

Brantley Venture Partners II, L.P., Brantley Venture Partners
III, L.P. and Brantley Partners IV, L.P. (collectively, the
Partnerships) hold, in the aggregate, approximately
$200 million of venture capital private equity investments.
The Partnerships are related to the Investment Adviser in a
manner that requires the receipt, from the Commission, of an
exemption from certain provisions of the Act in order to permit,
under certain circumstances, the Company, the Investment Adviser
and the Partnerships to invest in the same portfolio companies.
As a result, the Company and the Partnerships filed an
application on March 6, 1997 with the Commission seeking an
exemptive order permitting the Company, under certain
circumstances, to invest in securities of issuers in which one
of the Partnerships also intends to invest. The staff of the
Commission granted the exemptive order on November 18, 1997.

Consistent with the Companys current long-term objectives,
the Board of Directors has recently asked the Companys
Investment Adviser, to consider ways to maximize shareholder
value in the event that the net asset value of the Company has
not appreciated by a minimum of 15% per annum for the seven-year
period ending December 31, 2003. Such actions could
include, but are not limited to, a possible recommendation to
consider the sale of some or all of the Companys
investments. Management has been pleased with the performance of
the Companys portfolio companies since inception and
believes that liquidity opportunities that generally start
presenting themselves several years into a portfolio of this
nature may create gains for the Company over the next few years.
The portfolio is just beginning to enter a period of possible
liquidity events, and management feels confident that the
portfolio will continue to perform adequately. However, in light
of the market price of the Companys shares relative to
their net asset value, management has reiterated the
Companys planned goals and objectives and has reassured
shareholders that management intends to take action if those
goals and objectives are not met. Nevertheless, management
expects to meet the Companys net asset value appreciation
target.

At June 30, 2001, the cost of equity and equity-linked debt
security investments made by the Company to date was
$30.9 million and their aggregate market value was
$48.9 million, for an aggregate fair market value
appreciation of 58%. Management believes the companies invested
in have significant potential for long-term growth in sales and
earnings. Since the completion of the Companys initial
public offering, management has focused its investment
activities on securing new investments for the Companys
portfolio. However, given the current nature of the portfolio
and the fact that the portfolio as a whole is maturing,
management is entering into a phase of the business plan which
emphasizes positioning the more mature portfolio companies for
appropriate liquidity events. As a result, the Company is
continuously monitoring portfolio company results and evaluating
opportunities to maximize the valuation of its investments. In
that regard, the Company periodically evaluates potential
acquisitions, financing transactions, initial public offerings,
strategic alliances, and sale opportunities involving its
portfolio companies. These transactions and activities are
generally not disclosed to the Companys stockholders and
the investing public until such time as the transactions are
publicly announced or completed, as the case may be. Any such
transaction could have an impact on the valuation of the
Companys investments, however, valuations would generally
not be adjusted until the transaction is publicly announced or
completed.

The individually significant equity and equity-linked debt
security holdings of the Company at June 30, 2001 were
comprised of the following investments:

Disposable Products Company, LLC

On August 10, 1998, the Company entered into an investment
led by Banc One Capital to provide $1.0 million of a
$3.0 million subordinated debt facility with warrants for
Disposable Products Company, LLC (DPC). DPC is an
acquisition strategy company in the business of manufacturing
and converting paper and non-woven materials into wiping
products for sale to commercial, institutional, industrial and
government markets. In addition, DPC is a converter and reseller
of other safety and industrial/janitorial products. Proceeds of
the transaction were used to complete the first acquisition. The
terms of the debt facility call for a 12% interest rate per
annum with a final maturity in 2003. The Company also received a
detachable capital stock purchase warrant exercisable into 5% of
the fully-diluted capital stock of DPC at the time of exercise
at a nominal exercise price. On January 26, 2001 the
Company funded a $166,667, 12% promissory note of DPC.

Fitness Quest, Inc.

On December 16, 1997, the Company funded a
$1.35 million commitment to invest with Brantley Venture
Partners III, L.P. in a $3.85 million preferred stock issue
for Fitness Quest, Inc. (Fitness Quest). As a
result, the Company purchased approximately 788,961 shares of
Fitness Quest Series A 10% Convertible Preferred Stock at
$1.71 per share. Fitness Quest is a direct marketing and
distribution company. A portion of the proceeds were used by
Fitness Quest for a management buy-out of the company from its
previous owner, The Time Warner Music Group (a 100% wholly owned
subsidiary of Time Warner, Inc.) and the remainder was used for
acquisitions. Fitness Quest has been in the fitness promotional
products business since 1994 and, at the time of the purchase,
had revenues at a $100 million annual sales rate level.

During 1997, Fitness Quest grew to $120 million in sales
and improved its operating margins and profits. After a complete
evaluation, the Companys Board of Directors re-valued its
Fitness Quest investment to $5,440,000, resulting in a 1997
unrealized gain of $4,090,000. This evaluation was based on
price to earnings ratios, cash flow multiples and other
appropriate financial measurements of similar private companies.
In 1998, the operating results of Fitness Quest were adversely
impacted by the cyclical nature of its business and one-time
expenses resulting from several acquisition transactions.
Consequently, 1998 sales were approximately $90 million,
resulting in lower than expected profit margins. Since 1998, the
Company has shown significant improvement in its core operating
results with 2000 annual sales of approximately
$145 million.

In addition to the above Series A 10% Convertible Preferred
Stock, the Company has funded $1,751,300 to invest with Brantley
Venture Partners III, L.P. in a $3.5 million 10% senior
subordinated debt investment in Fitness Quest. In addition, the
Company received a warrant to purchase 181,172 shares of Fitness
Quest common stock for $.01 per share. The proceeds of the
investment were used to fund Fitness Quests working
capital needs. During the fourth quarter of 2000, the Company
exchanged the senior subordinated debt investment and related
unpaid interest for 679,641 shares of Fitness Quest common stock.

Flight Options International, Inc. (Formerly
Corporate Wings, Inc.)

On December 23, 1997, the Company completed a
$2.1 million investment with Brantley Venture Partners III,
L.P. to purchase a $6.0 million preferred stock issue for
Flight Options International, Inc. (Flight Options).
The Companys investment consists of approximately
2,576,000 shares of Flight Options Series A 8% Convertible
Preferred Stock at $0.8152 per share. Flight Options provides
complete private air travel service through the sale of
fractional interests in pre-owned jet aircraft. The proceeds of
the transaction were used by Flight Options to continue to
execute an acquisition strategy. Flight Options has been in
business since 1978 and had sales of approximately
$40 million at the time of the Companys investment.

On December 29, 1998, the Company announced the completion
of a second private equity investment in Flight Options. As a
result, the Company purchased $962,500 of a $5.5 million
preferred stock transaction led by The Provident Bank. The
Companys purchase represents approximately 260,135 shares
of a Class A 8% Convertible Preferred Stock at $3.70 per share.
Proceeds were used to fund the expansion of the Flight Options
program and to continue to execute their acquisition strategy.
During 1998, Flight Options completed the acquisition of Miller
Aviation. As a result of the price of this subsequent financing
and the operating performance of Flight Options during 1998, the
market value of the Companys original investment was
increased to $9,531,760, resulting in an unrealized gain of
$7,431,760. This valuation was based on the $3.70 per share
price negotiated by The Provident Bank and approved by the
Companys Board of Directors.

On August 31, 1999, the Company announced the completion of
a third private equity investment in Flight Options. As a
result, Flight Options sold $20 million of Series B 8%
Preferred Stock to a third party private equity group at $4.365
per share. Consistent with the Companys investment
procedures, this transaction resulted in a valuation increase on
the Flight Options investment of $1,886,030 or $0.50 per share.

On July 11, 2000, the Company guaranteed a portion of
Flight Options third-party borrowings. As a result, the
Company was issued a warrant to purchase 36,000 shares of common
stock of Flight Options at a price of $0.01 per share.
Management believes, based on current facts and circumstances
and Flight Options financial position, that the likelihood
that the Company will be required to make a payment pursuant to
such guarantee is remote.

On December 12, 2000 the Company purchased
$2.5 million, or 469,925 shares, of Class C 8%
Preferred Stock at $5.32 per share. Proceeds of the transaction
were used to fund the continued expansion of the fractional
ownership program.

On June 30, 2001, Flight Options received offers from
institutional investors to purchase up to $25 million of
convertible preferred stock or subordinated debt securities in
Flight Options which supports the valuation used to complete the
December 12, 2000 Class C 8% Preferred Stock
transaction described in the preceding paragraph. As a result,
and consistent with the Companys investment valuation
procedures, the Board of Directors approved a valuation increase
on the Flight Options investment which resulted in the Company
reporting an unrealized gain of $2,742,889 or $0.72 per share
for the quarter ended June 30, 2001.

At June 30, 2001, the financial statement value of the

Health Care Solutions, Inc.

On September 30, 1997, the Company funded a
$1.5 million convertible junior subordinated promissory
note facility for Health Care Solutions, Inc. (Health Care
Solutions). Health Care Solutions is an acquisition

strong presence in the Midwest and Great Lakes region. The terms
of the notes called for an 18% interest rate per annum during
the first year and 12% per annum thereafter, with final maturity
two years from the closing. After the first year, the notes were
convertible into common stock at a price of $3.50 per share. In
connection with its commitment to provide this facility, the
Company received warrants to purchase up to $450,000 of common
stock valued at an exercise price of 10% of an initial public
offering (IPO) price completed during the term of
the notes, or at $3.50 per share should the warrants be
exercised other than in connection with an IPO. The warrants are
currently exercisable. The proceeds of the notes were used by
Health Care Solutions to help finance acquisitions.

Health Care Solutions has completed a re-capitalization plan,
including a two-for-one reverse stock split. As a result, the
Company has agreed to exchange its convertible junior
subordinated promissory note and accrued interest thereon for
246,994 shares of Series C 8% Convertible Preferred Stock
at an exchange rate of $7.50 per share. The warrants to purchase
up to $450,000 of common stock at an exercise price of 10% of an
IPO price or at $3.50 per share will remain outstanding and will
be adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split.

Stock, the Company has funded a $500,000 and a $299,000 12%
Convertible Subordinated Note. As part of this transaction, the

Care Solutions Common Stock at an exercise price equal to the
lower of a price as determined by an IPO or $7.50 per share. On

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.




Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures
About Market Risk

A business development company is required to describe the risk
factors involved in an investment in the securities of a
business development company due to the nature of the
companys investment portfolio and capital structure.
Accordingly, the Company states that its objective is to achieve
capital appreciation through investments in businesses believed
to have favorable growth potential. Such businesses are often
small, undercapitalized companies that can lack management depth
and have not yet attained consistent levels of profitability.
The Companys private equity and equity-linked debt
security investments often include securities that are subject
to legal or contractual restrictions on resale that adversely
affect the liquidity and marketability of such securities.

The Company considers the management of equity price risk
essential to conducting its business and maintaining its
profitability. The Company manages this risk by maintaining a
diverse portfolio of equity and equity-linked debt securities. A
portion of the Companys investment portfolio consists of
equity and equity-linked debt securities in private companies.
The Company anticipates no impact on these investments from
modest changes in public market equity prices. However, should
significant changes in market prices occur, there could be a
long-term effect on valuations of private companies, which could
affect the carrying value and the amount and timing of gains
realized on these investments. A portion of the Companys
investment portfolio also consists of common stock and warrants
to purchase common stock in publicly traded companies. These
investments are directly exposed to equity price risk, in that a
hypothetical ten percent change in these equity prices would
result in a similar percentage change in the fair market value
of these investments.

The portion of the Companys investment portfolio
consisting of equity and equity-linked debt securities in
private companies is also subject to valuation risk. Investments
are stated at fair value as defined in the Act and
in the applicable regulations of the Commission. All assets are
valued at fair value as determined in good faith by, or under
the direction of, the Board of Directors. Because there is
typically no public market for the equity and equity-linked debt
securities in which the Company invests, the valuation of the
equity interests in the Companys portfolio is subject to
the estimates of the Companys Board of Directors in
accordance with the Companys Investment Valuation
Guidelines. In the absence of a readily ascertainable market
value, the estimated value of the Companys portfolio of
equity and equity-linked debt securities may differ
significantly from the values that would be placed on the
portfolio if a ready market for the investments existed. Any
changes in valuation are recorded in the Companys
consolidated statements of operations as Net unrealized
gain (loss) on investments.

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 private equity investment activities may prevent
stockholders of the Company from achieving price appreciation
and dividend distributions.
