ITEM 1.  SECURITY AND ISSUER

         This statement relates to the common shares, ("Common Stock"), of
International Total Services, Inc., an Ohio corporation (the "Issuer"), the
principal executive offices of which are located at Crown Centre, 5005 Rockside
Road, Independence, Ohio 44131.

ITEM 2.  IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND

         This statement is being filed by Brantley Partners IV, L.P. (the
"Partnership") and Brantley Capital Corporation ("Capital"). The principal
business offices of the Partnership and Capital are located at 20600 Chagrin
Blvd., Suite 1150 Cleveland, Ohio 44122.

         Capital is a closed-end, non-diversified investment company
incorporated on August 1, 1996 under the General Corporation Law of the State of
Maryland, that has elected to be treated as a "business development company"
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Capital invests primarily
in the equity securities (for example, common stock, preferred stock,
convertible preferred stock, or options, warrants or rights to acquire stock)
and equity-linked debt securities (for example, convertible debt or indebtedness
accompanied by warrants, options or rights to acquire stock) of private
companies. Capital also invests a portion of its assets in small-cap public
companies. The Partnership is primarily engaged in similar investment
activities.

         During the last five years, neither the Partnership nor Capital, nor to
the best of their respective knowledge, any of their respective directors,
executive officers, principal shareholders or partners, have been convicted in a
criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or
has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of
competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding 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.

ITEMS 3.  SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

         All shares reported as beneficially owned herein were acquired with
working capital of the respective beneficial owner. The Partnership purchased
the shares it has reported as beneficially owned for an aggregate purchase price
of $205,228.19. Capital purchased the shares it has reported as beneficially
owned for an aggregate purchase price of $68,409.40.

ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

         The Partnership and Capital made their initial investments in the
Common Stock of the Issuer as a strategic investment. Each of the Partnership
and Capital intends to review on a continuing basis its investment in the Common
Stock and to take such actions with respect to its investment as it deems
appropriate in light of the circumstances existing from time to time. Such
actions could include, among other things, acquiring additional shares of Common
Stock or disposing of the shares, in whole or in part, at any time, subject to
compliance with applicable securities laws. Any such decision would be based on
an assessment of a number of different factors, including, but not limited to,
the business, prospects and affairs of the Issuer, the market for the Common
Stock, the condition of the securities markets, general economic and industry
conditions and other opportunities available to the Partnership and Capital,
respectively. Except as set forth in the preceding paragraph, neither the
Partnership, nor Capital has any current plans or proposals which relate to or
would result in: (a) the acquisition by any person of additional securities of
the Issuer, or the disposition of securities of the Issuer; (b) an extraordinary
corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation,
involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (c) the sale or transfer of a
material amount of assets of the Issuer or of any of its subsidiaries; (d) any
change in the present board of directors or management of the Issuer, including
any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any
existing vacancies on the board; (e) any material change in the present
capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; (f) any other material change
in the Issuer's business or corporate structure; (g) changes in the Issuer's
charter, bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may
impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person; (h) causing a
class of securities of the Issuer to be delisted from a national securities
exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation
system of a registered national securities association; (i) a class of equity
securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration
pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended;
or (j) any action similar to any of those enumerated above.
