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 to Fortune 1000 companies, other large and
medium-sized corporations and government entities. The Company is a 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 "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 completion of the IPO, the Company
acquired in separate transactions 13 additional companies (the "Subsequent
Acquisitions") engaged in providing performance improvement training services
and products (collectively such companies are referred to with the Founding
Companies as 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, 1999 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, 2000 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.

     On December 14, 1999, PROVANT acquired Senn-Delaney Leadership Consulting
Group, Inc. and Senn-Delaney Leadership Consulting U.K., Ltd. (together,
"Senn-Delaney Leadership") in an acquisition accounted for as a
pooling-of-interests. As required under the pooling-of-interests method, the
results for all periods presented include the results of Provant and
Senn-Delaney Leadership.

     The pro forma adjustments give effect to (i) the compensation differential
(adjusting compensation to contractually agreed-upon levels), (ii)
pooling-related costs, and (iii) provision for income taxes using an effective
corporate tax rate of 41.5% for Senn-Delaney Leadership and 40% for PROVANT,
adjusted for non-tax deductible goodwill. The compensation differential
represents pro forma adjustments to salary, bonuses and benefits paid to certain
employee owners of Senn-Delaney Leadership to which they have contractually
agreed prospectively. The aggregate compensation differential for the nine-month
periods ended March 31, 2000 was $3.3 million.

2.   CONTINGENT CONSIDERATION

     During the nine months ended March 31, 2000, PROVANT issued contingent
consideration consisting of cash of $33.3 million and 1,450,139 shares of Common
Stock valued at $16.3 million.

     The merger agreements between PROVANT and four of the Subsequent
Acquisitions provide for the payment of 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. The contingent consideration will be
paid in cash and shares of Common Stock in accordance with a formula based on
the relationship of defined earnings before interest and taxes ("EBIT") of the
acquired business to a specified baseline EBIT target and certain other
adjustments. Contingent consideration of cash and/or shares of Common Stock up
to maximum amounts of $35.9 million could be payable based on performance
criteria associated with the two years ended June 30, 2001. For one Subsequent
Acquisition, contingent consideration of cash and/or shares of Common Stock is
payable based entirely on performance criteria over a three-year period and is
not currently determinable.

$38.0 million at March 31, 2000. During the quarter ended December 31, 1999, the
Company increased the availability under the credit facility from $80.0 million
to $105.0 million. 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.

7    POOLING OF INTERESTS

     On December 14, 1999, PROVANT acquired Senn-Delaney Leadership for an
aggregate purchase price of 2,168,286 shares of the Company's Common Stock in an
acquisition accounted for as a pooling-of-interests. In connection with the
merger, the Company also assumed outstanding Senn-Delaney Leadership options
that were converted into options to purchase an aggregate of 352,212 shares of
the Company's common stock.

</TABLE>


RESULTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999 (THE "1999 QUARTER") COMPARED
TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 (THE "2000 QUARTER")

     Revenue. Revenue increased $7.9 million, or 18.2%, from $43.4 million in
the 1999 Quarter to $51.3 million in the 2000 Quarter. The increase was
primarily attributable to revenues from businesses acquired during fiscal 1999
as well as increased service revenue, train-the-trainer seminars, license fees
and royalties.

     Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue increased from
39.6% in the 1999 Quarter to 41.9% in the 2000 Quarter, primarily due to a
charge of $1.4 million recorded in the 2000 Quarter related to the
reorganization program.

     Gross Profit. Gross profit increased $3.6 million, or 13.7%, from $26.2
million in the 1999 Quarter to $29.8 million in the 2000 Quarter, primarily due
to the growth in revenue. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit decreased
from 60.4% in the 1999 Quarter to 58.1% in the 2000 Quarter primarily due to a
charge of $1.4 million recorded in the 2000 Quarter related to the
reorganization program.

                                       9

<PAGE>   10

     Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased $4.9 million, or 23.3%, from $21.1 million in
the 1999 Quarter to $26.0 million in the 2000 Quarter, primarily due to the
expenses of the businesses acquired during fiscal 1999. Included in operating
expenses for the 2000 Quarter is a $1.1 million charge related to the
reorganization program. Included in selling, general and administrative expenses
for the 1999 Quarter is $1.9 million of compensation differential, which on a
pro forma basis is excluded from selling, general and administrative expenses.
The compensation differential represents pro forma adjustments to salary,
bonuses and benefits paid to certain employee owners of Senn-Delaney Leadership
to certain levels to which they contractually agreed prospectively. Excluding
the compensation differential and reorganization charge, as a percentage of
revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses increased from 44.1% in
the 1999 Quarter to 48.3% in the 2000 Quarter. This increase was due to the 2000
Quarter's revenue was lower than expected and increased expenditures for sales
and marketing efforts.

     Goodwill Amortization. Goodwill amortization increased $721,000 or 103.1%,
from $699,000 in the 1999 Quarter to $1.4 million in the 2000 Quarter, due to
additional goodwill recorded in connection with acquisitions completed during
fiscal 1999 and contingent consideration recorded during fiscal 1999 and 2000.

     Interest Income (Expense), net. Interest income (expense), net increased
from interest income of $40,000 in the 1999 Quarter to interest expense of
$779,000 in the 2000 Quarter, due to increased borrowings under the line of
credit and higher interest rates during fiscal 2000.

     Income Taxes. Provision for income taxes decreased from an income tax
expense of $2.4 million in the 1999 Quarter to an income tax benefit of $2.0
million in the 2000 Quarter. The decrease in income taxes is primarily due to
the loss recorded in the 2000 Quarter due to the $10.6 million reorganization
program charges.

     Net Income (Loss). Net income (loss) decreased from net income of $2.1
million in the 1999 Quarter to a net loss of $4.6 million in the 2000 Quarter.

RESULTS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999 (THE "1999 PERIOD") COMPARED TO
THE NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 (THE "2000 PERIOD")

     Revenue. Revenue increased $53.6 million, or 48.5%, from $110.4 million in
the 1999 Period to $164.0 million in the 2000 Period. The increase was primarily
attributable to revenues from businesses acquired during fiscal 1999 as well as
increased service revenue, train-the-trainer seminars, license fees and
royalties.

     Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue increased from
39.9% in the 1999 Period to 40.5% in the 2000 Period, primarily due to a charge
of $1.4 million recorded in the 2000 Quarter related to the reorganization
program.

     Gross Profit. Gross profit increased $31.2 million, or 47.0%, from $66.4
million in the 1999 Period to $97.6 million in the 2000 Period primarily due to
the growth in revenue. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit decreased from
60.1% in the 1999 Period to 59.5% in the 2000 Period primarily due to a charge
of $1.4 million recorded in the 2000 Quarter related to the reorganization
program.

     Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Operating expenses increased
$23.0 million, or 41.3%, from $55.6 million in the 1999 Period to $78.6 million
in the 2000 Period, primarily due to the expenses of the businesses acquired
during fiscal 1999. Included in selling, general and administrative expenses for
the 2000 Period is a $1.1 million charge related to the reorganization program.
Also, included in selling, general and administrative expenses is $5.5 million
and $3.3 million of compensation differential for the 1999 and 2000 Period,
which on a pro forma basis is excluded from selling, general and administrative
expenses. The compensation differential represents pro forma adjustments to
salary, bonuses and benefits paid to certain employee owners of Senn-Delaney
Leadership to certain levels to which they contractually agreed prospectively.
Excluding the compensation differential and reorganization charge, as a
percentage of revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased
slightly from 45.5% in the 1999 Period to 45.2% in the 2000 Period.

     Pooling Costs. Pooling costs consist of accounting, legal, investment
banker fees and due diligence expenses incurred in connection with the
acquisition of Senn-Delaney Leadership.

     Goodwill Amortization. Goodwill amortization increased $2.3 million or
135.3%, from $1.7 million in the 1999 Period to $3.9 million in the 2000 Period,
due to additional goodwill recorded in connection with acquisitions completed
during fiscal 1999 and contingent consideration recorded during fiscal 1999 and
2000.

     Other Income. Other income for the 1999 Period consisted primarily of a
non-recurring gain of $982,000 ($581,000, net of tax) from the settlement of
litigation by Senn-Delaney Leadership. The impact on diluted earnings


                                       10
<PAGE>   11


per share for the 1999 Period was $0.04. Other income for the 2000 Period
consisted primarily of a $362,000 gain recorded on proceeds of $833,000 from the
sale of a business.

     Interest Income (Expense), net. Interest income (expense), net increased
$1.4 million from $142,000 in the 1999 Period to $1.5 million in the 2000
Period, due to increased borrowings under the line of credit and higher interest
rates during fiscal 2000.

     Income Taxes. Provision for income taxes decreased from $5.5 million in the
1999 Period to $3.9 million in the 2000 Period, due to increased pre-tax income
in the first and second quarters of 2000 offset by a $4.2 million benefit
recorded in the third quarter of 2000 for the reorganization charge of $10.6
million.

     Net Income. Net income decreased from $4.3 million in the 1999 Period to
$275,000 in the 2000 Period.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     As of March 31, 2000, the Company had cash of approximately $217,000 and
outstanding indebtedness of $46.8 million. The Company has a $105.0 million
credit facility with related borrowings of $38.0 million at March 31, 2000.
During the quarter ended December 31, 1999, the Company increased the
availability under the credit facility from $80.0 million to $105.0 million. 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.

     The Company anticipates that its cash flow from operations 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. In connection with the reorganization
program, the Company expects to make future cash payments of approximately $3.2
million in fiscal 2000 and approximately $3.7 million in fiscal 2001 and
beyond. The severance and lease obligations will be disbursed over a period
based upon the terms of the severance and lease agreements.

     The Company has two effective shelf registration statements on Form S-4.
Each registration statement relates to the issuance of up to 3,000,000 shares of
Common Stock in connection with acquisitions. Of these shares, 3,736,180 shares
have been issued through May 12, 2000 and a currently undeterminable number of
shares may become issuable as contingent consideration under the registration
statements with respect to acquisitions completed before such date.

     During the nine months ended March 31, 2000, PROVANT issued contingent
consideration consisting of cash of $33.3 million and 1,450,139 shares of Common
Stock valued at $16.3 million.

     The merger agreements between PROVANT and four of the Subsequent
Acquisitions provide for the payment of 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. The contingent consideration will be
paid in cash and shares of Common Stock in accordance with a formula based on
the relationship of defined earnings before interest and taxes ("EBIT") of the
acquired business to a specified baseline EBIT target and certain other
adjustments. Contingent consideration of cash and/or shares of Common Stock up
to maximum amounts of $35.9 million could be payable based on performance
criteria associated with the two years ended June 30, 2001. For one Subsequent
Acquisition, contingent consideration of cash and/or shares of Common Stock is
payable based entirely on performance criteria over a three-year period and is
not currently determinable.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition and Financial Statements" (SAB
No. 101), which provides guidance for revenue recognition under


                                       11

<PAGE>   12


certain circumstances. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SAB No.
101 on the financial statements and related disclosures. SAB No. 101 is
effective for all fiscal quarters beginning after March 31, 2000.

Item 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ON MARKET RISK

     The Company invests its cash in money market instruments. These instruments
are denominated in U.S. dollars. Due to the conservative nature of these
instruments, the Company does not believe that it has a material exposure to
interest rate or market risk. The investment portfolio is used to preserve the
Company's capital until it is required to fund operations or acquisitions. None
of these instruments are held for trading purposes. The Company does not own
derivative financial instruments.

     The Company is exposed to interest rate risk in the ordinary course of
business. For fixed rate debt, interest rate changes affect the fair value but
do not impact earnings or cash flow. Conversely, for floating rate debt,
interest rate changes generally do not affect the fair market value, but do
impact future earnings or cash flow. A one-percentage increase in interest rates
would have an immaterial impact on the fair market value of the Company's debt
and future earnings or cash flow.

     One of the Company's subsidiaries conducts operations in Europe. The
Company does not believe currency fluctuations would have a material impact on
the Company's future earnings or cash flow.

     This report on form 10-Q contains statements which constitute
     "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities
     Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements can be identified by the use
     of forward-looking terminology such as "believes," "expects," "may,"
     "estimates," "will," "should," "plans" or "anticipates" or the negative
     thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology, or by
     discussions of strategy. Readers are cautioned that any such
     forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and
     involve significant risks and uncertainties, and that actual results may
     vary materially from those in the forward-looking statements as a result of
     any number of factors, many of which are beyond the control of management.
     These factors include the Company's limited combined operating history,
     risks of integration, risks of internal growth, risks associated with the
     Company's acquisition strategy, and the Company's ability to attract and
     retain key personnel, to name a few, and are hereby incorporated by
     reference from the risk factors included in Company's Registration
     Statement on Form S-1 (file no. 333-70119) filed with the Securities and
     Exchange Commission.
