   PROVANT, INC.
   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
   (UNAUDITED)

1.  ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

  ORGANIZATION

    PROVANT, Inc., a Delaware corporation (collectively with its subsidiaries,
"PROVANT" or the "Company"), provides a broad range of performance improvement
training services and products primarily to Fortune 1000 companies, other large
and medium-sized corporations and government entities. The Company's objective
is to become the leading single source provider of high-quality performance
improvement training services and products that are distributed through multiple
delivery methods.

    On May 4, 1998, PROVANT 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"). During the nine months
ended March 31, 1999, the Company acquired in separate transactions seven
additional companies engaged in providing performance improvement training
services and products (collectively such companies are referred to with the
Founding Companies as the "Operating Companies"). Prior to the IPO, PROVANT did
not conduct any revenue generating activities. For the period from inception
through May 4, 1998, all of PROVANT's activities had been related to the
completion of the IPO and the Combination. All references to the "Company"
include PROVANT and the Operating Companies.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    The information contained in the following notes to the accompanying
financial statements is condensed from that which would appear in the annual
audited financial statements; accordingly, the financial statements included
herein should be reviewed in conjunction with the financial statements and
related notes thereto contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended June 30, 1998 filed by PROVANT with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

    In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited financial
statements contain all adjustments considered necessary to present fairly the
financial position of the Company as of March 31, 1999 and the results of
operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The Company prepares its
interim financial information using the same accounting principles as it uses
for its annual financial statements.

    For financial statement purposes, PROVANT has been identified as the
accounting acquiror in all of its acquisitions to date. Accordingly, the
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PROVANT since its
inception, November 16, 1996, and the accounts of the Operating Companies since
their respective dates of acquisition. The acquisitions of the Operating
Companies were accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The
allocations of the purchase prices to the assets acquired and liabilities
assumed of these companies have been recorded based on preliminary estimates of
fair value and may be changed as additional information becomes available.

    The unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations give effect to (i)
the Combination, (ii) the consummation of the IPO and the application of the net
proceeds therefrom, (iii) acquisitions completed by one of the Founding
Companies prior to the Combination, (iv) the elimination of non-cash
compensation expense related to the issuance of Common Stock to certain of
PROVANT's officers and consultants, (v) a provision for income tax for those
Founding Companies that were taxed as S corporations during the relevant periods
and (vi) the compensation differential. The compensation differential represents
pro forma adjustments to salary, bonuses and benefits paid to certain
pre-Combination owners of the Founding Companies to certain levels to which they
agreed prospectively. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 1998, the
compensation differential was approximately $800,000 and $4.9 million,
respectively. The unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations give
effect to the Combination, the IPO and the acquisitions completed by one of the
Founding Companies as if they had occurred on July 1, 1997.

    The pro forma adjustments are based on estimates, available information and
certain assumptions. The pro forma statements of operations do not purport to
represent what the Company's results of operations would 

                                      7
<PAGE>   8
actually have been if the events indicated above had in fact occurred
on July 1, 1997, or to project what the Company's financial position or results
of operations will be for any future period. Since the Founding Companies were
not under common control or management, historical combined results may not be
comparable to, or predictive of, future performance.

2.  INVENTORY

    Inventory consists primarily of film production and other costs associated
with a company acquired during the nine months ended March 31, 1999.

3.  ACQUISITIONS

    During the quarter ended September 30, 1998, the Company acquired two
companies that provide performance improvement training services and products.
Initial consideration paid by the Company was $16.0 million, consisting of $10.9
million in cash and 430,767 shares of Common Stock. The allocation of the
aggregate purchase price to assets acquired and liabilities assumed resulted in
$12.1 million of goodwill for these acquisitions, which were accounted for as
purchase transactions. Goodwill is amortized on a straight-line basis over 40
years. The cash portion of the purchase price was funded from cash provided by
operations and $7.5 million of borrowings from the Company's credit facility.


    During the quarter ended December 31, 1998, the Company acquired three
companies that provide performance improvement training services and products.
Initial consideration paid by the Company was $31.1 million, consisting of $19.3
million in cash and 1,085,476 shares of Common Stock. The allocation of the
aggregate purchase price to assets acquired and liabilities assumed resulted in
$29.8 million of goodwill for these acquisitions, which were accounted for as
purchase transactions. Goodwill is amortized on a straight-line basis over 40
years. The cash portion of the purchase price was funded from cash provided by
operations and $13.7 million of borrowings from the Company's credit facility.

    During the quarter ended March 31, 1999, the Company acquired two companies
that provide performance improvement training services and products. Initial
consideration paid by the Company was $10.1 million, consisting of $5.0 million
in cash, $1.0 million in notes and 283,105 shares of Common Stock. The
allocation of the aggregate purchase price to assets acquired and liabilities
assumed resulted in $9.7 million of goodwill for these acquisitions, which were
accounted for as purchase transactions. Goodwill is amortized on a straight-line
basis over 40 years. The cash portion of the purchase price was funded from $1.5
million of borrowings from the Company's credit facility and proceeds of the
Company's February 1999 public offering of Common Stock.


    During April 1999, the Company acquired an additional company (the
"Subsequent Acquisition") that provides performance improvement training
services and products. Initial consideration paid by the Company was $21.9
million, consisting of $8.7 million in cash and 929,991 shares of Common Stock.
The cash portion of the purchase price was funded from cash provided by
operations and proceeds of the Company's February 1999 public offering of Common
Stock. The acquisition will be accounted for as a purchase transaction.

4.  CONTINGENT CONSIDERATION

    The agreements between PROVANT and all but one of the Operating Companies
and the Subsequent Acquisition provide for the payment of additional, contingent
consideration (the "Contingent Consideration"). The number of shares to be
issued as contingent consideration in an acquisition are included as outstanding
in the calculation of diluted weighted average common shares outstanding after
the related performance criteria has been met and the number of shares can be
determined. The former stockholders of eight Operating Companies and the
Subsequent Acquisition are entitled to receive Contingent Consideration of cash
and/or shares of Common Stock if certain performance criteria are met over
future periods ranging from one to three years. For the three companies with
Contingent Consideration based on performance criteria associated with the year
ended June 30, 1999, the maximum Contingent Consideration for two of the
companies is $5.7 million in the form of shares of Common Stock and the
Contingent Consideration for the third company is based entirely on performance
criteria for the year and is not currently determinable. For the one company
with Contingent Consideration based on performance criteria associated with the
year ended December 31, 1999, the maximum Contingent Consideration is $500,000
in the form of cash and/or shares of Common Stock. Contingent Consideration for
the four remaining companies is based on performance criteria associated with
the next three years and is not currently determinable. For the Subsequent
Acquisition, additional consideration in the form of cash and shares of Common
Stock is payable if certain performance


                                      8
<PAGE>   9
criteria are met for the year ended June 30, 1999. Contingent Consideration for
the Subsequent Acquisition is based on performance criteria over a two-year
period and is not currently determinable.

5.  EARNINGS PER SHARE

    Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is computed by dividing net income by the
weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period.
Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of
shares of Common Stock and dilutive securities outstanding during the period.

The following tables summarize weighted average shares outstanding for all
periods presented:

    Revenue. Revenue increased $16.3 million, or 81.6%, from $19.9 million in
the 1998 Quarter to $36.2 million in the 1999 Quarter. The increase was
primarily attributable to an increased number of government contracts,
train-the-trainer seminars, royalties and revenues from businesses acquired
during fiscal 1999.


    Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue decreased from
42.5% in the 1998 Quarter to 41.5% in the 1999 Quarter primarily due to revenue
growth greater than the corresponding increase in costs and increased
higher-margin license revenues during the 1999 Quarter.

    Gross Profit. Gross profit increased $9.7 million, or 84.8%, from $11.5
million in the 1998 Quarter to $21.2 million in the 1999 Quarter, primarily due
to the growth in revenue. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit increased
from 57.5% in the 1998 Quarter to 58.5% in the 1999 Quarter primarily due to
more efficient use of resources.

    Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased $7.0 million, or 81.7%, from $8.6 million in
the 1998 Quarter to $15.6 million in the 1999 Quarter, primarily due to the
expenses of the businesses acquired during fiscal 1999, the expansion of
corporate infrastructure, increased costs associated with being a public company
and commission costs associated with increased revenue. As a percentage of
revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses remained constant at 43.0%
in both quarters.

    Goodwill Amortization. Goodwill amortization increased $365,000, from
$334,000 in the 1998 Quarter to $699,000 in the 1999 Quarter, due to additional
goodwill recorded in connection with acquisitions completed during fiscal 1999
and contingent consideration issued to five of the Founding Companies during
fiscal 1999.

    Net Income. Net income increased $1.3 million or 91.0% from $1.4 million in
the 1998 Quarter to $2.7 million in the 1999 Quarter. Diluted earnings per
common share increased $0.04 or 28.6% from $0.14 in the 1998 Quarter to $0.18 in

 COMBINED LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    As of March 31, 1999, the Company had cash of approximately $28.2 million
and outstanding indebtedness of $2.7 million. The Company has a $75.0 million
credit facility with no related borrowings at March 31, 1999. The credit
facility, which terminates on December 31, 2001, (i) prohibits the payment of
dividends and other distributions by the Company, (ii) generally does not permit
the Company to incur or assume other indebtedness, and (iii) requires the
Company to comply with certain financial covenants.

   In February 1999, the Company completed a public offering of 3,022,750 shares
of Common Stock, from which it received net proceeds of approximately $54.8
million. Of this amount, $22.4 million was used to repay outstanding
indebtedness under the credit facility. The Company anticipates that its cash
flow from operations, proceeds of the public offering and availability under the
credit facility will provide cash sufficient to satisfy the Company's working
capital requirements, debt service requirements and planned capital expenditures
for the next 12 months.

    The Company has two effective shelf registration statements on Form S-4. The
first registration statement relates to the issuance of up to 3,000,000 shares
of Common Stock in connection with acquisitions. Of this amount, 1,599,348
shares have been issued through May 12, 1999 and a currently undeterminable
number of shares may become issuable as contingent consideration under the
registration statement with respect to acquisitions completed before such date.
The second registration statement also relates to the issuance of up to
3,000,000 shares of Common Stock in connection with acquisitions. Of this
amount, 929,991 shares have been issued through May 12, 1999 and a currently
undeterminable number of shares may become issuable as contingent consideration
under the registration statement with respect to acquisitions completed before
such date.

    During the quarter ended September 30, 1998, the Company acquired two
companies that provide performance improvement training services and products.
Initial consideration paid by the Company was $16.0 million, consisting of $10.9
million in cash and 430,767 shares of Common Stock. The allocation of the
aggregate purchase price to assets acquired and liabilities assumed resulted in
$12.1 million of goodwill for these acquisitions, which were accounted for as
purchase transactions. Goodwill is amortized on a straight-line basis over 40
years. The cash portion of the purchase price was funded from cash provided by
operations and $7.5 million of borrowings from the Company's credit facility.

    During the quarter ended December 31, 1998, the Company acquired three
companies that provide performance improvement training services and products.
Initial consideration paid by the Company was $31.1 million, consisting of $19.3
million in cash and 1,085,476 shares of Common Stock. The allocation of the
aggregate purchase price to assets acquired and liabilities assumed resulted in
$29.8 million of goodwill for these acquisitions, which were accounted for as
purchase transactions. Goodwill is amortized on a straight-line basis over 40
years. The cash portion of the purchase price was funded from cash provided by
operations and $13.7 million of borrowings from the Company's credit facility.

    During the quarter ended March 31, 1999, the Company acquired two companies
that provide performance improvement training services and products. Initial
consideration paid by the Company was $10.1 million, consisting of $5.0 million
in cash, $1.0 million in notes and 283,105 shares of Common Stock. The
allocation of the aggregate purchase price to assets acquired and liabilities
assumed resulted in $9.7 million of goodwill for these acquisitions, which were
accounted for as purchase transactions. Goodwill is amortized on a straight-line
basis over 40 years. The cash portion of the purchase price was funded from $1.5
million of borrowings from the Company's credit facility and proceeds of the
Company's February 1999 public offering of Common Stock.

    During April 1999, the Company acquired an additional company (the
"Subsequent Acquisition") that provides performance improvement training
services and products. Initial consideration paid by the Company was $21.9
million, consisting of $8.7 million in cash and 929,991 shares of Common Stock.
The cash portion of the purchase price was funded from cash provided by
operations and proceeds of the Company's February 1999 public offering of Common
Stock. The acquisition will be accounted for as a purchase transaction.

    The agreements between PROVANT and all but one of the Operating Companies
and the Subsequent Acquisition provide for the payment of additional, contingent
consideration (the "Contingent Consideration"). The number of shares to be
issued as contingent consideration in an acquisition are included as outstanding
in the calculation of diluted weighted average common shares outstanding after
the related performance criteria has been met and the number of shares can be
determined. The former stockholders of eight Operating Companies and the
Subsequent Acquisition are entitled to receive Contingent Consideration of cash
and/or shares of Common Stock if certain performance criteria are met over
future periods ranging from one to three years. For the three companies with
Contingent Consideration based on performance criteria associated with the year
ended June 30, 1999, the maximum Contingent Consideration for two of the
companies is $5.7 million in the form of shares of Common Stock and the
Contingent Consideration for the third company is based entirely on performance
criteria for the year and is not currently determinable. For the one company
with Contingent Consideration based on performance criteria associated with the
year ended December 31, 1999, the maximum Contingent Consideration is $500,000
in the form of cash and/or shares of Common Stock. Contingent Consideration for
the four remaining companies is based on performance criteria associated with
the next three years and is not currently determinable. For the Subsequent

                                      12
<PAGE>   13
Acquisition, additional consideration in the form of cash and shares of Common
Stock is payable if certain performance criteria are met for the year ended June
30, 1999. Contingent Consideration for the Subsequent Acquisition is based on
performance criteria over a two-year period and is not currently determinable.


THE YEAR 2000 ISSUE

    The Company uses information technology ("IT") systems in its internal
operations, including applications used in client order processing, inventory
management, financial business systems and various administrative functions
which are primarily "off-the-shelf" applications. Non-IT systems used in the
Company's internal operations consist primarily of voice and data communications
systems and elevator and climate control systems. In addition, the Company
delivers several of its products on technology-based platforms, such as CD-ROM,
intranets and the Internet. Management has completed the assessment of the
Company's IT and non-IT systems and products. The completed assessment indicated
the need to replace some personal computers and upgrade two phone switches. The
Company has completed necessary remediation, implementation and final testing of
IT and non-IT systems and products as of March 31, 1999. To the extent the
source code of IT and non-IT internal systems and customer products may be
deficient despite the Company's assessment with respect to "Year 2000" issues,
the failure to make any required modifications in order to make the systems and
products "Year 2000" compliant could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's business.

    The Company derives a substantial amount of its revenues from services and
products delivered to entities affiliated with the federal government. The two
government agencies responsible for funding disbursements have not publicly
announced the status of their year 2000 compliance efforts but have indicated
that such a public announcement will be made in September 1999. Failure by
government entities to make their respective computer software programs and
operating systems "Year 2000" compliant could have a material adverse effect on
the Company's business.

    The Company has not yet completed its evaluation of the most reasonably
likely worst case "Year 2000" scenario, nor has it completed the contingency
planning with respect to the "Year 2000." The Company also has not yet completed
its evaluation of the vendors' contingency planning with respect to their
potential "Year 2000" deficiencies. The Company intends to complete both these
evaluations and contingency planning by June 30, 1999.

     To date, the Company has incurred approximately $76,000 to remediate "Year
2000" issues. Management currently believes that any future costs to remediate
"Year 2000" issues will not be material to the Company's financial position or
results of operations

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Financial Accounting Standard No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information" (FAS 131) that requires companies to
determine reportable segments based on how management makes decisions about
allocating resources to the segments and measures their performance. Disclosures
for segments are similar to those required under current standards. However,
certain new information and quarterly disclosures will be required. In addition,
new entity-wide disclosures will be required about products and services and the
countries in which material assets are located and that report material
revenues. Prior period information disclosed will be restated to comply with FAS
131. The Company will be adopting FAS 131 in 1999 and it will be applicable for
the Company's year-end disclosures. The disclosure requirements under FAS 131
for interim quarters will be applicable for the Company's first quarter
disclosures in 2000. The Company is still evaluating the effect of this
statement on its reported segment information.

    In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities" (FAS 133), which requires that all
derivative instruments be recorded on the balance sheet at their fair values.
Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded in current earnings or
other comprehensive income, depending on whether a derivative is designated as
part of a hedge transaction and, if it is, the type of hedge transaction. The
Company will adopt FAS 133 for the Company's fiscal year ending June 30, 2000.
The Company anticipates that the adoption of FAS 133 will not have a material
effect on its financial condition or results of operations.
