ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

     On April 23, 1999, PROVANT, Inc. acquired by merger Project Management
Services, Inc. and its parent holding company, Petrus 1961, Inc. (collectively,
"PMSI"), for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $8.7 million in cash
and 929,991 shares of common stock (valued for purchase accounting purposes at
approximately $13.2 million). In addition, PROVANT assumed long-term
indebtedness of PMSI of approximately $6.1 million. The former stockholders of
PMSI will be entitled to receive contingent consideration (i) if PMSI's earnings
before interest and taxes for the year ending June 30, 1999 exceed a specified
base amount, and (ii) if PMSI's average annual earnings before interest and
taxes for the two-year period ending June 30, 2001 exceed a specified base
amount. The cash portion of the purchase price for PMSI was funded from cash
flow from operations and proceeds from PROVANT's January 1999 public offering of
common stock. The purchase price paid by PROVANT in the acquisition was
determined as the result of arm's-length negotiations between PROVANT and the
principals of PMSI. PMSI, based in Atlanta, Georgia, provides project
implementation services including on-site project management, skill building,
training, mentoring and internal process development.

To the Board of Directors
   Petrus 1961, Inc. and Subsidiaries
   d/b/a Project Management Services, Inc.


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of PETRUS 1961,
INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES, d/b/a PROJECT MANAGEMENT SERVICES, INC. (an S
corporation) as of December 31, 1998 and June 30, 1998 and the related
consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for
the period from inception [April 21, 1998] to December 31, 1998. These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated
financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of PETRUS 1961, INC.
AND SUBSIDIARIES, d/b/a PROJECT MANAGEMENT SERVICES, INC. as of December 31,
1998 and June 30, 1998, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for
the period of inception ended December 31, 1998 in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

A. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

   Nature of Business and Principles of Consolidation:

   Petrus 1961, Inc. d/b/a Project Management Services, Inc. ["Petrus"] has
   offices in Georgia and Texas and provides project management services to
   Fortune 500 companies.

   Petrus was formed on April 8, 1998 ["formation"].  On April 21, 1998
   ["inception"], Petrus acquired PROJECT MANAGEMENT SERVICES, INC. ["PMSI"]
   and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Aviation Facilities Group, Inc. ["AFG"]
   and M&A Integration, Inc. ["M&A"].  [See Note B]

   On May 12, 1998, PMSI formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Project Management
   Center of Excellence, Inc. ["PMCE"].  These are the consolidated financial
   statements of Petrus and its wholly-owned subsidiaries [collectively "the
   Company"].  All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

   The Petrus statement of operations reflects the operations of Petrus from the
   date of formation through December 31, 1998, and for PMSI and its
   subsidiaries from April 21, 1998 [date of inception] through December 31,
   1998. Petrus did not enter into any transactions until the date of inception.

   Predecessor:

   PMSI, and its wholly-owned subsidiary Aviation Facilities Group, Inc., and
   M&A Integration, Inc. are the Predecessor entities to the Company.
   [Predecessor].  M&A became a wholly-owned subsidiary of PMSI on April 21,
   1998.  AFG, formed on April 18, 1991, has been a wholly-owned subsidiary
   of PMSI from its inception.

   Predecessor results of operations consist of the combined operations of PMSI
   (and its wholly-owned subsidiary) and M&A for the year ended December 31,
   1997 and for the period January 1, 1998 to April 20, 1998. All material
   intercompany transactions have been eliminated from the combination.

   M&A had no material transactions for the periods reported.

A. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: [Continued]

   Property and Equipment:  [Continued]

   Property and equipment is carried at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and
   repairs are expensed currently, while renewals and betterments that
   materially extend the life of an asset are capitalized. Depreciation is
   provided on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
   assets, which are as follows:

      Office and computer equipment                        5 years
      Furniture and fixtures                               7 years
      Leasehold improvements                     Life of the lease

   Depreciation expense for the period from April 21, 1998 to December 31, 1998
   was $56,825, $52,944 for the period January 1 to April 20, 1998 and $89,454
   for the year ended December 31, 1997.

   Use of Estimates:

   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
   accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
   that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
   contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statement and
   the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
   Actual results could differ from these estimates.

   Advertising Costs:

   The Company's policy is to expense advertising costs as incurred. The
   approximate amount of advertising that was charged to expense for the period
   from inception to December 31, 1998 was $168,000, for the period January 1 to
   April 20, 1998 was $17,500, and for the year ended December 31, 1997 was
   $54,000.

   Income Taxes:

   The Company, with the consent of its shareholders, has elected under the
   Internal Revenue Code to be an S corporation. The Company has elected to
   treat each of its wholly-owned subsidiaries as Qualified Subchapter S
   Subsidiaries ["QSSS's"] corporations. In lieu of corporate taxes, the
   shareholders of an S corporation are taxed on their proportionate share of
   the Company's taxable income. Therefore, no provision or liability for
   federal or state income taxes has been included in these consolidated
   financial statements. All deferred income tax assets and liabilities recorded
   by the Predecessor were eliminated on the date of acquisition at which time
   the Company became an S corporation.

A. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: [Continued]

   Income Taxes - Predecessor:

   Deferred income taxes are provided for differences in timing in reporting
   income for financial statement and tax purposes arising primarily from
   differences in the basis of accounting, the methods of accounting for
   depreciation of property and equipment and net operating losses. The cash
   basis method of accounting is used for tax purposes.

B. BUSINESS COMBINATION:

   On April 21, 1998, PETRUS acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding stock
   of PMSI for $6,000,000, which was accounted for using the purchase method of
   accounting in accordance with APB 16 Accounting for Business Combinations.
   The goodwill associated with this purchase is being amortized straight-line
   over 40 years.

                         PROVANT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

         NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


(1)  GENERAL

On May 4, 1998, PROVANT, Inc. ("PROVANT" or the "Company") completed the initial
public offering (the "Offering" or "IPO") of its common stock (the "Common
Stock") and simultaneously acquired in separate merger transactions (the
"Combination") seven companies engaged in providing performance improvement
training services and products (collectively referred to as the "Founding
Companies"). Since the IPO, the Company has acquired in separate transactions
eleven additional businesses engaged in providing performance improvement
training services and products. Each of the acquisitions have been accounted for
using the purchase method of accounting with the Company being treated as the
accounting acquiror.

(2)  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations for the year ended
June 30, 1998 gives effect to (i) the Combination of PROVANT and the Founding
Companies, (ii) the consummation of the IPO and the application of the net
proceeds, (iii) the acquisition by PROVANT by merger on April 23, 1999 of
Project Management Services, Inc. and its parent, Petrus 1961, Inc.
(collectively, "PMSI"), (iv) PROVANT's acquisition subsequent to the IPO and
prior to the acquisition of PMSI of six additional performance improvement
companies (the "Acquired Companies") and (v) certain other transactions
described in the notes to the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial
statements, as if all of those transactions had occurred on July 1, 1997. The
unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations for the six months
ended December 31, 1998 gives effect to PROVANT's acquisition of PMSI and the
Acquired Companies as if they had occurred on July 1, 1998.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet gives effect to PROVANT's
acquisition of two companies, Educational Discoveries, Inc. ("EDI") on February
11, 1999 (one of the Acquired Companies) and PMSI as if these acquisitions had
occurred on December 31, 1998.

These pro forma financial statements are based on the historical financial
statements of PROVANT, the Founding Companies, PMSI and the Acquired Companies
and the estimates and assumptions set forth in the notes below.

The pro forma adjustments are based on estimates, available information and
certain assumptions and may be revised as additional information becomes
available. The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements do not
purport to represent what PROVANT's results of operations actually would have
been had such events occurred at the beginning of the periods presented, as
assumed, or to project PROVANT's results of operations for any future period or
the future results of the Founding Companies, PMSI or the Acquired Companies.
The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the historical financial statements and related notes of
PROVANT, the Founding Companies and certain of the Acquired Companies contained
in PROVANT's Registration Statement on Forms S-4 (File No. 333-74725), as well
as the historical financial statements and related notes of PMSI included in
this filing.

(3)  UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET ADJUSTMENTS

The pro forma adjustments to the December 31, 1998 balance sheet reflect the
acquisitions of EDI and PMSI as if those acquisitions had occurred on such date.
The total initial consideration paid for PMSI consisted of cash of $8.7 million
and 929,991 shares of common stock valued at $13.2 million. Shares used as
initial consideration were valued at a discount of 20% from their publicly
traded price due to restrictions on their transferability. The acquisition
adjustments for PMSI reflect the creation of approximately $21.2 million of
goodwill from the payment of the common stock and cash consideration less net
assets of PMSI of approximately $1.2 million and purchase accounting adjustments
of $(5.9) million for write-off of acquired goodwill and other adjustments. The
former stockholders of PMSI will be entitled to receive contingent consideration
(i) if PMSI's earnings before interest and taxes for the year ended June 30,
1999 exceeded a specified base amount, and (ii) PMSI's average annual earnings
before interest and taxes for the two-year period ending June 30, 2001 exceed a
specified base amount.

(6)  STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company currently has four stock-based compensation plans. As of June 1,
1999, the Company has granted stock options under the Equity Incentive Plan,
1998 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan and Stock Option Plan for Outside Directors
to purchase an aggregate of 1,644,110 shares of Common Stock having per-share
exercise prices ranging from $11.50 to $19.375. The Company also has issued
52,636 shares under its 1998 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. In addition, the
Company has granted options under its Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors to
purchase an aggregate of 15,000 shares of Common Stock at a per-share exercise
price of $13.00. The Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors was terminated in
November 1998 with respect to the future grant of options.

The Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 and related
interpretations in accounting for its plans. Accordingly, no compensation
expense is recognized for its fixed stock option plans and its stock purchase
plan, except for stock options granted to non-employees. If compensation cost
for the Company's stock-based compensation plans were based on the fair value at
the grant date for the awards under the plans consistent with the method of
