BUSINESS GENERAL The Wackenhut Corporation (the "Company") is a leading outsourcer of diversified services to business and government. The Company focuses strategically on three major businesses worldwide - security related and other operational support services, developer and manager of privatized correctional and detention facilities and personnel employee leasing and temporary services. The Security Services business is organized into two major business segments: North American Operations and International Operations. The security-related services businesses have expanded into a range of other support services to include base operations, facility management, fire and emergency medical services and food service to private and publicly managed correctional facilities. The International Operations provides a greater variety of services than the North American Operations offers domestically. These services include, among other things, central station monitoring, cash-in-transit, satellite tracking of vehicles and cargo, and building maintenance. The Company, through its approximately 55% owned public subsidiary, Wackenhut Corrections Corporation (NYSE: WHC) designs, constructs, finances and manages correctional, detention and mental health psychiatric facilities and performs separate correctional-related services, including prisoner transportation, home detention monitoring and correctional health care. During the past three years, the Company has established a national presence in the flexible staffing industry which includes, personnel employee leasing, temporary services, recruiting, risk management, payroll processing and human resource services. The Company has approximately 70,000 full and part-time employees, worldwide, serving over 9,000 commercial and governmental customers through an extensive network of offices and operations in 48 states and approximately 52 countries. The Company was incorporated in 1958 to continue the businesses that were originally established in 1954 by its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, George R. Wackenhut, to provide security-related services to commercial and governmental customers. Since its founding, the Company has grown by: (i) enhancing its position in its security-related services business through the development of specialized and upgraded services; (ii) targeting specific segments of the security services industry; and (iii) expanding into a range of other support services in response to a growing trend toward privatization of governmental services and outsourcing by commercial customers. The Company is one of the largest security services organization in the United States and is the leading United States-based provider of security services abroad. In addition to its physical security and uniformed officer services the Company is a leader in the development of specialized niche services. For example, in response to a growing demand in the marketplace for security professionals with greater skill and responsibility levels, the Company has developed its Custom Protection Officer(R) ("CPO") program to provide highly specialized and trained security professionals to a broad range of customers such as national retailers, financial institutions and gated communities. CPO security professionals also are used as supplemental law enforcement forces by public transportation authorities and other governmental entities. Custom Protection Officer(R) is a Registered Service Mark of The Wackenhut Corporation. Another market initiative is the Company's National Accounts program, developed to provide focused and consistent service quality across its larger client's national and regional organizations. These clients asked for, and received, a dedicated executive within the Company to integrate and coordinate client security programs. These quality-centered programs partner the Company and its clients in performance excellence across the client's organization. The Company believes that the National Accounts program may also enable it to expand the scope of services offered worldwide to its National Account customers*. Management believes that the high quality and consistent service of its CPO and National Accounts programs provide the Company with an opportunity to enhance long-term relationships with its clients*. - ------------------------ * Refer to Forward Looking Statements included in Exhibit 13.0 - page 21 to this Form 10-K. 2 3 In addition to the services, which the Company has specifically targeted for expansion, the Company continues to explore and selectively invest in other service businesses, including commercial and governmental support services, supplemental police services, crash-fire-rescue services, fire protection services, and airport services. As part of its strategy to respond to the growing trend toward privatization of governmental services, in 1984 the Company entered into the development and management of privatized correctional and detention facilities, a business which is now operated exclusively through its approximately 55% owned Wackenhut Corrections Corporation subsidiary ("WHC"). As of December 1998, WHC had contracts to manage 52 correctional and detention facilities, with a rated capacity of 35,643 beds. As of December 1998, 39 of these facilities with a rated capacity of 26,067 beds were in operation. It also had contracts for mental health services, prisoner transportation, correctional health care services, and electronic monitoring. From December 29, 1991 to January 3, 1999, WHC's revenues increased from $37.9 million to $312.8 million and operating income increased from $1.7 million to $22.5 million, representing compound annual growth rates of 42.7% and 53.8%, respectively. As of February 19, 1999, WHC's total equity market capitalization was approximately $442.0 million. Building upon four decades of expertise in outsourcing services to businesses and government, in the third quarter of 1996, the Company entered into the professional employer organization ("PEO") employee leasing business by establishing Oasis Outsourcing, Inc., a majority owned subsidiary. During 1997, the Company continued to expand its market presence in these areas and, consistent with that strategy, Wackenhut Resources, Inc. (WRI), a subsidiary of the Company, acquired the King Companies, in May 1997, and Professional Employee Management, Inc. (PEM Companies) in December 1997. Both companies are professional employer organizations, and in addition, the King Companies is in the temporary employment and recruiting service business. These two companies were combined with Oasis Outsourcing, Inc., under Wackenhut Resources, Inc., to form Flexible Staffing Services (Staffing Services). In November 1998, Flexible Staffing Services acquired Sharp Services Inc. and Advantage Temporary Services companies. By the end of 1998, Flexible Staffing Services, had 16 PEO and 14 staffing offices and personnel in over 30 states. BUSINESS STRATEGY The Company focuses strategically on three major businesses worldwide - security related and other operational support services, developer and manager of privatized correctional and detention facilities and personnel employee leasing and temporary services. Key elements of the Company's business strategy are described below: SECURITY SERVICES o ENHANCE LEADERSHIP POSITION OF SECURITY-RELATED SERVICES. The Company strives to enhance its market position by attempting to provide the most reliable and consistent service in the industry. The Company believes its security professionals provide quality service because of: (i) strictly enforced screening and hiring procedures; (ii) intensive training; and (iii) well organized supervisory and feedback procedures. o DEVELOP SPECIALIZED SECURITY SERVICES. The Company has identified and targeted the National Account and CPO programs as its primary growth avenues in the security services business as it seeks to expand its market position. Management believes that the high quality and consistent service of its National Accounts and CPO programs provide the Company with an opportunity to establish and enhance long-term relationships with its clients*. - ------------------------ * Refer to Forward Looking Statements included in Exhibit 13.0 - page 21 to this Form 10-K. 3 4 o DEVELOP COMPLEMENTARY SUPPORT SERVICES. The Company will seek to expand the scope of complementary support services it offers. The Company's successful identification and development of the correctional services and the staffing services has provided it with the experience it believes will allow it to develop other specialized programs and support services*. o GEOGRAPHIC EXPANSION. The Company seeks to increase revenues and enhance earnings stability by continuing to expand its international presence in countries where its clients are expanding and building on its established expertise of local operations in existing and emerging markets. Historical revenue growth has been centered in Central and South America and, more recently, the Company has established its presence in European and Asian markets. Management believes that the Company's presence in approximately 52 countries worldwide provides it with an advantage when pursuing contracts with multi-national corporations. CORRECTIONAL SERVICES WHC's objective is to enhance its position as one of the leading providers of privatized correctional and detention services. Key elements of WHC's business strategy include: (i) effective management of projects; (ii) selective development of new business opportunities such as mental health services provided through its subsidiary Atlantic Shores Healthcare, Inc.; (iii) selective pursuit of acquisitions; (iv) expansion of its scope of services; (v) expansion into international markets by establishing alliances with strategic local partners; and (vi) limiting capital risk. STAFFING SERVICES Wackenhut Resources has methodically expanded to become one of the largest outsourcing companies in the U.S. Its growth is resulting from the increasing trend of small and medium size businesses to lease employees or use temporary workers from PEOs in order to cut costs and provide more and better employee benefits. Wackenhut Resources' strategy for growth is to seek a balance between employee leasing and temporary staffing. It is felt that this broader blend of human resources services will better meet the needs of our clients as outsourcing trends continue. In addition to internal growth the Company seeks to increase its presence in staffing services through selective acquisitions* such as the acquisitions of the King Companies, in May 1997, Professional Employee Management, Inc. (PEM Companies), in December 1997, and Sharp Services, Inc. and Advantage Temporary Services Companies in November 1998. (need disclosure) o PURSUE SELECTED ACQUISITIONS. In addition to internal growth, the Company's growth strategy includes selected acquisitions*. MARKETS SECURITY SERVICES. The private security-related services industry includes guard services, alarm-monitoring services, security consulting services, armored car transport and other security services. The largest and most visible component of the industry is the guard service component, which also accounts for the largest portion of the Company's revenues. Guard service is often characterized within the industry as either "proprietary" or "contract," depending on the service provider. Under proprietary arrangements, end users of the services employ, schedule and manage their own security officers. In contrast, contract services are provided to end users pursuant to contracts with - ------------------------ * Refer to Forward Looking Statements included in Exhibit 13.0 - page 21 to this Form 10-K. 4 5 independent security-related service firms such as Wackenhut. Management believes that the advantages to clients of using contract security service providers rather than providing services internally on a proprietary basis are three-fold: (i) the client may realize cost and administrative savings; (ii) the client is freed to concentrate on its core competencies; and (iii) the client may be able to reduce labor management concerns with security-related employees, who are employed by the Company. CORRECTIONAL SERVICES. WHC views governmental agencies responsible for state correctional facilities in the United States and governmental agencies responsible for correctional facilities outside of the United States as its primary potential customers. WHC's secondary customers include the INS, other federal and local agencies in the United States and other foreign governmental agencies. FLEXIBLE STAFFING SERVICES. Flexible Staffing Services provides temporary staffing, permanent placement, and Professional Employer Organization (PEO) services. The PEO provides integrated human resource administration, such as personnel employee leasing, risk management, payroll processing and human resource services. Client companies outsource a large part of the human resource function to the PEO. While the PEO becomes the employer of record for payroll and tax purposes, the client maintains control of the activities of the worksite employees. Due to the increasing complexity of the regulatory environment, employment costs per employee are rising dramatically, and constitute one of the market determinants. Outsourcing is expected to have a very compelling appeal to companies in the process of downsizing and reengineering*. COMPANY ORGANIZATION The Company's business can be divided into the Security Services , Correctional Services and Flexible Staffing Services. Securities Services encompasses all commercial and governmental business of the North American Operations (including Wackenhut of Canada Limited) and the International Operations. Security Services provides security-related and other support services. Correctional Services, which consists exclusively of the business conducted through WHC, provides correctional, detention, and mental health psychiatric facility design, development and management services to government agencies. Flexible Staffing Services provides personnel employee leasing, temporary services, recruiting, risk management, payroll processing and human resource services. The following table sets forth the contribution to consolidated revenues and operating income by each of the Company's business segments for 1998 (53 weeks), 1997 and 1996 in millions of dollars. See Note 18 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (which also includes a summary of domestic and international operations) included in Exhibit 13.0 to this Form 10-K. - ------------------------ * Refer to Forward Looking Statements included in Exhibit 13.0 - page 21 to this Form 10-K. 5 6 1998 1997 1996 ---- ---- ---- REVENUES SECURITY SERVICES North American Operations $ 810.0 $ 711.8 $ 664.5 International Operations 137.2 117.2 103.5 -------- -------- -------- 947.2 829.0 768.0 CORRECTIONAL SERVICES 312.8 206.9 137.8 STAFFING SERVICES 495.1 90.9 0.2 -------- -------- -------- CONSOLIDATED REVENUES $1,755.1 $1,126.8 $ 906.0 ======== ======== ======== OPERATING INCOME SECURITY SERVICES North American Operations $ 22.2 $ 20.1 $ 20.0 International Operations 2.0 0.2 (1.3) -------- -------- -------- 24.2 20.3 18.7 CORRECTIONAL SERVICES 22.5 16.5 9.7 STAFFING SERVICES 2.7 (0.3) (0.4) UNALLOCATED CORPORATE EXPENSE (17.0) (14.9) (10.9) ONE-TIME CHARGE AND IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS -- (18.3) (0.8) -------- -------- -------- CONSOLIDATED OPERATING INCOME $ 32.4 $ 3.3 $ 16.3 -------- -------- -------- SECURITY SERVICES Security Services is conducted through two separate operations: the North American Operations and the International Operations. NORTH AMERICAN OPERATIONS. The North American Operations (NAO) has historically provided the majority of the Company's consolidated revenues. NAO provides security-related and other support services throughout the United States and Canada. The North American Operations is subdivided between commercial and government and regulated industry accounts. In conducting its Security Services, the Company has adopted a quality management approach to its services. General management responsibilities for each operation is vested in managers of geographic regions supported by a small group of managers located at Company headquarters. Day-to-day management responsibility for each group is vested in regional and site field managers who have primary responsibility for client contact and satisfaction. Field managers are selected through an intensive screening process and receive what the Company believes is state-of-the-art training. Supervisory personnel from Company headquarters periodically visit region headquarters and sites and carefully monitor operating results. COMMERCIAL ACCOUNTS. The Company furnishes security officers (armed and unarmed) to protect its clients' property, in the United States and Canada, against fire, theft, intrusion, vandalism and other physical harm. Specialized security services offered by the Company include crash-fire-rescue services, fire protection services and airport services. The Company also provides security-consulting services including security assessment and program development, specialized training programs for security guards, fire-crash-rescue personnel, and background investigative services. The Company will further enhance its market position in the security-related services industry through internal growth by continuing to: (i) pursue domestic and international National Accounts; (ii) differentiate its security-related services within the industry by emphasizing its CPO program; and (iii) market the Company's services to specialized market niches such as gated residential communities and hospitals. The Company intends to emphasize attracting and retaining National Accounts that benefit from security-related services on a national or regional level at multiple locations. Such clients include retail chains, banks, 6 7 specialized manufacturers and high tech companies. Management believes that such clients value the flexibility and service provided by a dedicated single point of contact with the Company through the National Accounts program. For its CPO program, the Company recruits law enforcement academy graduates, former military police, and members of elite military units and college graduates with criminology-related degrees. These recruits are prepared for critical security assignments after completing a Company training program that surpasses any state or local requirements for security officer licensing. CPO security personnel perform such functions as prisoner transportation in Maryland and Colorado, neighborhood and downtown security in Florida, transit security in Wisconsin and California, and other supplemental law enforcement-related services. Management believes that services provided by CPO security personnel distinguish the Company's services from those of the competition by providing highly specialized and trained security personnel capable of undertaking and accepting responsibilities that are beyond the capabilities of traditional security guards. Contracts with private industry generally are for a minimum of a one-year term. Most of these contracts are subject to termination by either party on 30 days prior notice. For most small accounts billing rates are typically based on a specified rate per hour and generally are subject to renegotiations or escalation if related costs increase because of changes in minimum wage laws or certain other events beyond the control of the Company. For many larger accounts, cost plus performance and management fee contracts are increasingly being negotiated. The Company designs and engineers integrated security programs using both security officers and electronic equipment. These services include planning master security programs for particular facilities, custom designing security systems, procuring requisite electronic equipment, managing contracts and construction, training security personnel, and reviewing and evaluating security programs. Contracts for these integrated security-related services generally provide for a fixed fee and are awarded by competitive bidding. The Company complements security services provided to its clients with investigative services, such as employee background screening and insurance fraud investigations. The Company maintains a national research center with the latest information-gathering technology for public records and a "fraud-waste- criminal" hotline for employees of clients to report workplace abuses. Clients ordinarily are charged an hourly rate for investigative services and a flat rate for background record searches. GOVERNMENT AND REGULATED INDUSTRY ACCOUNTS. The Company provides specialized security-related and support services for United States federal government entities, nuclear power generating facilities and prison and jail commissaries. Wackenhut Services, Inc. ("WSI") provides security services primarily to United States federal government entities. Services provided by WSI range from basic security and administrative support to specialized emergency response. In the United States, WSI provides security-related services at 10 sensitive government installations. For example, the Company has held the operations and maintenance contract for the Savannah River Site in South Carolina since 1983, the single largest government contract for security-related services. Since 1990, the Company has managed the Rocky Flats Environmental Technology Site near Denver and since 1964, has managed the Nevada Test Site near Las Vegas. Since 1984, WSI has overseen training and resource development for the United States Department of Energy at the Nonproliferation and National Security Institute in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The Company's service contracts with governmental agencies are typically cost-reimbursable contracts providing the Company the ability to earn award fees based upon the achievement of performance goals. The Company's service contracts with governmental agencies are subject to annual governmental appropriations. The Company provides Nuclear Utility customers with highly trained and qualified security personnel, emergency planning, electronic detection equipment and integrated security systems to these utility companies. The terms of contracts entered into by the Nuclear Division generally are multi-year and include a variety of fee arrangements. The Company's experience with requirements and standards of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission ("NRC") enable it to assist customers in ensuring NRC compliance. The Company's correctional foodservice business, one of the largest in the industry, provides over 74 million meals annually to over 100 jail and prison facilities in 22 states throughout the United States. Food for regular, 7 8 therapeutic and religious diets is prepared using conventional or cook-chill methods. The Company provides a quality assurance program that encompasses all aspects of the foodservice business. Specifically, the Company provides product testing and menu development through its staff of nutritional experts, which includes professional dietitians. Also, to ensure high quality of service and product, facility audits are conducted on an on-going basis. The Company bids for foodservice contracts and provides food services on a cost per meal basis. Complete foodservice management, commissary, laundry and janitorial programs are available to correctional clients. INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS. International Operations accounts for approximately 8% of the Company's consolidated revenues. International Operation services is conducted primarily through Wackenhut International, Inc., ("WII") and its subsidiaries and affiliates. Since its organization in 1967, WII has grown to include a network of subsidiaries, partnerships and affiliates in over 50 countries. Management believes the Company's international presence, through the operations of WII, is larger than any of its United States-based competitors. Management believes that its risk exposure in international operations conducted through WII is reduced substantially by the fact that the majority of its international operations are structured through joint ventures with parties who operate in the given market. These parties often provide valuable insight into local markets, in addition to sharing financial responsibility for the venture. WII also provides a greater variety of services than the Company offers domestically. These services include, among other things, central station monitoring, cash-in-transit, satellite tracking of vehicles and cargo, and building maintenance. The Company believes that this experience will be valuable in assisting the Company's domestic expansion into new support service areas. The Company's goal is to increase its international presence where its clients are expanding. With operations in every Latin American country, WII is concentrating on establishing its presence in Europe and Asia. In addition to providing traditional security services to commercial customers at overseas locations, WII provides security for the U.S. Department of State at embassies and missions in 17 locations. WII also provides protective services at NASA space shuttle support sites in Africa. Major competitors of WII include large United States-based companies with operations overseas, sizable foreign concerns such as Group 4, Securitas, Securicor, and Chubb and local and regional companies. CORRECTIONAL SERVICES Correctional Services is conducted through the operations of Wackenhut Corrections, Inc. ("WHC"). WHC is a leading developer and manager of privatized correctional and detention facilities in the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia and South Africa. WHC was founded in 1984 as a division of the Company to capitalize on emerging opportunities in the private correctional services market. As of December 1998, WHC had contracts to manage 52 correctional and detention facilities with an aggregate rated capacity of 35,643 beds, 39 contracts representing 26,067 beds were in operation and 13 were under development by WHC. WHC offers governmental agencies a comprehensive range of correctional and detention facility management services from individual consulting projects to the integrated design, construction and management of correctional and detention facilities. In addition to providing the fundamental services relating to the security of facilities and the detention and care of inmates, WHC has built a reputation as an effective provider of a wide array of in-facility rehabilitative and educational programs, such as chemical dependency counseling and treatment, basic education, and job and life skills training. Management believes that WHC's experience in delivering a full range of quality privatization services on a cost-effective basis to governmental agencies provides such agencies strong incentives to choose WHC when awarding new contracts or renewing existing contracts. WHC's facility management contracts typically have original terms ranging from one to ten years and give the governmental agency at least one renewal option. 8 9 STAFFING SERVICES Building upon four decades of expertise in outsourcing services to businesses and government the Company entered into the professional employer organization ("PEO") employee leasing business by establishing Oasis Outsourcing, Inc., a majority owned subsidiary, in the third quarter 1996. During 1997, the Company continued to expand its market presence and, consistent with that strategy Wackenhut Resources, Inc. (WRI), a subsidiary of the Company, acquired the King Companies, in May 1997, and Professional Employee Management, Inc. (PEM Companies) in December 1997. Both companies are professional employer organizations, and in addition, the King Companies is in the temporary employment and recruiting service business. These two companies were combined with Oasis Outsourcing, Inc., under Wackenhut Resources, Inc., to form Flexible Staffing Services (Staffing Services). In November 1998 Flexible Staffing Services acquired Sharp Services Inc. and Advantage Temporary Services companies. By the end of 1998 Wackenhut Resources had methodically expanded to become one of the largest outsourcing companies in the U.S. with over 750 employee leasing clients in over 30 states. CUSTOMERS During 1998, the Security Services provided services to more than 8,600 customers worldwide. The Company's largest customer was the United States Department of Energy, which accounted for approximately 7% and 11% of the Company's consolidated revenue in Fiscal 1998 and Fiscal 1997, respectively. Correctional Services contracts with governmental agencies of the State of Texas accounted for 25% and 32% of WHC's revenues in Fiscal 1998 and Fiscal 1997, respectively and Contracts with the California Department of Corrections accounted for 17% and 10% of WHC's revenues in Fiscal 1998 and Fiscal 1997, respectively. The Staffing Services Business provides services to approximately 750 employee leasing clients. COMPETITION The Company is one of the largest security and protective services organization in the United States and a leading provider of such services worldwide. The Company competes domestically and internationally with Borg-Warner Security Company and Pinkerton's, Inc. The Company also competes with numerous local and regional security services companies. The top five providers of services similar to those provided by Security Services account for less than 15% of the security-services market in the United States. Competition in the security-related and other support services business is intense and is based primarily on price in relation to quality of service, the scope of services performed, and the extent of employee training and supervision. However, potential competitors can enter the security-related and other support services business without substantial capital investment or expense. WHC competes primarily on the basis of the quality and range of services offered, and its experience and reputation, both domestically and internationally, in the design and management of facilities. WHC competes with a number of companies domestically and internationally, such as Prison Realty, Correctional Services Corporation, Group 4 International Corrections Service, Securicor Group, U.K. Detention Services, Ltd., Cornell Corrections Corporation, and United States Corrections Corp. Some of the competitors are larger and have greater resources than WHC. WHC also competes on a localized basis in some markets with small companies that may have better knowledge of the local conditions and may be better able to gain political and public acceptance. Potential competitors can enter the correctional business without substantial capital investment or experience. In addition, in some markets WHC may compete with governmental agencies that are responsible for correctional facilities. Although the overwhelming majority of PEOs are small, regionally based firms (the total number has been estimated at approximately 2,500), the Company competes with other major companies such as Staff Leasing, NovaCare, Employee Solutions, Administaff and The Vincam Group. EMPLOYEES Security Services principal business is labor intensive, and is affected substantially by the availability of qualified personnel and the cost of labor. As of December 1998, Security Services had over 61,000 full and part-time employees worldwide, most of whom are security officers and other personnel providing physical security 9 10 services. The Company has not experienced any material difficulty in employing sufficient numbers of suitable security officers. Security officers and other personnel supplied by the Company to its clients are employees of the Company, even though stationed regularly at a client's premises. A small percentage of the employees of the Security Service business are covered by collective bargaining agreements. Relations with employees have been generally satisfactory. As of December 1998, Correctional Services had approximately 8,000 full-time employees. Correctional Services employs management, administrative and clerical, security, educational services, health services and general maintenance personnel. Employees at seven of WHC's Australian facilities are unionized. Staffing Services had approximately 265 administrative employees. In addition, Flexible Staffing Services had over 24,000 worksite employees as of December 1998. BUSINESS REGULATIONS AND LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS Security Services is subject to numerous city, county, and state firearm and occupational licensing laws that apply to security officers and private investigators. Many states have laws requiring training and registration of security officers, regulating the use of badges and uniforms, and imposing minimum bond, surety, or insurance standards. Many foreign countries have laws that restrict the Company's ability to render certain services, including laws prohibiting security-related services or limiting foreign investment. In addition, many state and local governments are required to enter into a competitive bidding procedure before awarding contracts for products or services. The laws of certain jurisdictions may also require the Company to award subcontracts on a competitive basis or to subcontract with businesses owned by women or members of minority groups. The industry in which the Correctional Services operates is subject to national, federal, state and local regulations in the United States, Europe, South Africa and Australia which are administered by a variety of regulatory authorities. Generally, prospective providers of correctional services must be able to detail their readiness to, and must, comply with a variety of applicable state and local regulations, including education, health care and safety regulations. WHC's contracts frequently include extensive reporting requirements and require supervision and on-site monitoring by representatives of contracting governmental agencies. WHC's Kyle New Vision Chemical Dependency Treatment Center is licensed by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice to provide substance abuse treatment. Certain states, such as Florida and Texas, deem prison guards to be peace officers and require WHC personnel to be licensed and may make them subject to background investigation. State law also typically requires corrections officers to meet certain training standards. Flexible Staffing Services is subject to federal and state laws regarding the employer-employee relationship, including numerous federal and state laws relating to labor, tax and discrimination matters. While many states do not explicitly regulate PEO activities, a number of states have passed laws that have licensing or registration requirements for PEO companies and other states are considering such regulation. Such laws vary from state to state but generally provide for monitoring the fiscal responsibility of PEO companies. Management believes it conducts its business in compliance with the licensing and registration requirements of the states in which it operates and monitors such compliance annually. The failure to comply with applicable laws, rules or regulations or the loss of any required license could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, the current and future operations of the Company may be subject to additional regulations as a result of, among other factors, new statutes and regulations and changes in the manner in which existing statutes and regulations are or may be interpreted or applied. Any such additional regulations could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. 10 11 The Company may, under certain circumstances, be responsible for the actions of its employees and agents. Under the common law of negligence in many states, the Company can be held vicariously liable for wrongful acts or omissions of its agents or employees performed in the course and within the scope of their agency or employment. In addition, some states have statutes that expressly impose on the Company legal responsibility for the conduct of its agents or employees. The nature of the security-related services provided by the Company (such as armed security officers and fire rescue) may expose it to greater risks of liability for employee acts or omissions than are posed to other businesses. The Company maintains public liability insurance to mitigate against this exposure, although the laws of many states limit or prohibit insurance coverage of liability for punitive damages arising from willful, wanton or grossly negligent conduct. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES The companies executive offices are in The Wackenhut Center, located at 4200 Wackenhut Drive #100, Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. The Wackenhut Center contains approximately 91,800 square feet and is leased from Lepercq Corporate Income Fund, L.P., for an initial term of 15 years, commencing in March 1996, with consecutive options to extend the term of the lease for three additional five-year periods. This lease requires annual rental payments in the amount of $1,758,102 with no escalation during the initial 15-year term. In December 1997, WHC entered into a $220 million operating lease facility that was established to acquire and develop new correctional institutions used in its business. As a condition of this facility, WHC unconditionally agreed to guarantee certain obligations of First Security Bank, N.A., a party to the aforementioned operating lease facility. As of January 3. 1999, approximately $100.9 million of this operating lease facility was utilized for properties under development. On April 28, 1998, Correctional Properties Trust ("CPV"), a Maryland real estate investment trust, sold 6.2 million shares of common stock at $20.00 per share in an initial public offering. Approximately $113.0 million of the net proceeds of the offering were used to acquire eight correctional and detention facilities operated by WHC. These facilities were then leased back to WHC. WHC received approximately $42 million for the three facilities owned by it and for its right to acquire four of the other five facilities realizing a profit of $18 million, which will be amortized over the ten-year lease term. The eighth facility was purchased directly from a government entity. CPV was also granted the option to acquire three additional correctional facilities then under development by WHC and the fifteen-year right to acquire and lease back future correctional and detention facilities developed or acquired by WHC. On October 30, 1998, CPV acquired the completed portion of one of the option facilities for $26 million. In 1997, WHC purchased and renovated an 86-bed psychiatric hospital in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. The Company owns a 15,000 square foot warehouse building in Miami, Florida. In addition, the Company owns two buildings in Ecuador and one each in the Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, Puerto Rico and Uruguay that are used for the operations of its foreign subsidiaries in those countries. All other offices of the Company are leased. The aggregate fiscal 1998 rent expense for all non-cancelable operating leases of office space, automobiles, data processing and other equipment was $16 million. The Company owns substantially all uniforms, firearms, and accessories used by its security officers. 11 12 ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The Company is presently, and is from time to time, subject to claims arising in the ordinary course of its business. In certain of such actions, plaintiffs request punitive or other damages that may not be covered by insurance. In the opinion of management, there are no pending legal proceedings that would have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Company. ITEM 4.

Based on the foregoing, the Transferor believes that all computer applications (including those of its suppliers, vendors and customers) that are material to its or any of its subsidiaries' business and operations are reasonably expected on a timely basis to be able to perform properly date-sensitive functions for all dates before and after January 1, 2000 (that is, be 'Year 2000 Compliant'), except to the extent that a failure to do so could not reasonably be expected (a) to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Transferor or on the transaction documented under this Agreement, or (b) to result in a Termination Event. 4 5 (B) The Transferor (i) has completed a review and assessment of all computer applications (including, but not limited to those of its suppliers, vendors, customers and any third party servicers), which are related to or involved in the origination, collection, management or servicing of the Receivables (the 'RECEIVABLE SYSTEMS') and (ii) has determined that such Receivable Systems are Year 2000 Compliant or will be Year 2000 Compliant on or before January 1, 1999 and thereafter. (C) The costs of all assessment, remediation, testing and integration related to the Transferor's plan for becoming Year 2000 Compliant will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or operations of the Transferor."

AMENDMENT TO SECTION 6.2 Section 6.2 of the Original Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following sub-section immediately following sub-section (q) thereof: "(r) YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE.

Based on the foregoing, the Servicer believes that all computer applications (including those of its suppliers, vendors and customers) that are material to its or any of its subsidiaries' business and operations are reasonably expected on a timely basis to be able to perform properly date-sensitive functions for all dates before and after January 1, 2000 (that is, be 'Year 2000 Compliant'), except to the extent that a failure to do so could not reasonably be expected (a) to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Servicer or on the transaction documented under this Agreement, or (b) to result in a Termination Event. (B) The Servicer (i) has completed a review and assessment of all computer applications (including, but not limited to those of its suppliers, vendors, customers and any third party servicers), which are related to or involved in the origination, collection, management or servicing of the Receivables (the 'Receivable Systems') and (ii) has determined that such Receivable Systems are Year 2000 Compliant or will be Year 2000 Compliant on or before January 1, 1999 and thereafter. 5 6 (C) The costs of all assessment, remediation, testing and integration related to the Servicer's plan for becoming Year 2000 Compliant will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or operations of the Servicer."

Further, the Transferor will deliver simultaneously with any quarterly or annual financial statements or reports to be delivered under the Agreement, a certificate signed by the chief financial officer or treasurer of the Transferor that no material event, problems or conditions have occurred which in the opinion of management would (i) prevent or materially delay the Transferor's plan to become Year 2000 compliant or (ii) cause or be likely to cause the Transferor's representations and warranties with respect to being or becoming Year 2000 compliant to no longer be true."

4 The Wackenhut Corporation and Subsidiaries MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Tabular information in thousands) OVERVIEW The Wackenhut Corporation and its subsidiaries (the "Company") is a leading outsourcer of diversified services to business and government. The Company focuses strategically on three major businesses worldwide - security related and other operational support services, development and management of privatized correctional and detention facilities, and personnel employee leasing and temporary services. The security-related services have expanded into a range of support services to include security operations, facility management, fire and emergency medical services and food service to private and publicly managed correctional facilities. The Security Services business is organized into North American Operations and International Operations. The Company, through its 55% owned public subsidiary, Wackenhut Corrections Corporation (NYSE:WHC) designs, constructs, finances and manages correctional, detention and mental health psychiatric facilities and performs separate correctional-related services, including prisoner transportation, home detention monitoring and correctional health care. During the past three years, the Company has established a national presence in the flexible staffing business which includes, personnel employee leasing, temporary services, recruiting, risk management, payroll processing and human resource services. During the fourth quarter of 1998,the Company adopted AICPA Statement of Position 98-5 ("SOP 98-5"), "Accounting for Costs of Start-up Activities." SOP 98-5 requires the expensing of start-up costs, defined as pre-opening, pre-operating and pre-contract type costs. The adoption of SOP 98-5, which was applied retroactively to the first quarter of 1998, resulted in a one-time charge of $6.6 million, net of income taxes and after deducting the portion applicable to minority shareholders of Wackenhut Corrections Corporation. On a diluted basis, the cumulative effect of change in accounting principle was $0.44 per share. During the fourth quarter of 1997, the Company recognized a one-time pretax charge of $18.3 million ($11.3 million after income taxes, or $0.76 per common share). The one-time charge included a loss of $6.0 million ($3.8 million after income taxes) on the sale of the Company's Australian security business. Also, as a result of its strategic review process and analysis, the Company determined that deferred information systems costs and certain domestic and international investments were identified as impaired, resulting in a write-off of $12.3 million ($7.4 million after income taxes). These assets were not functional as part of the Company's upgraded information technology platform and were impaired due to their inability to generate future cash flows. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company's principal sources of liquidity are from operations and borrowings under its credit facilities. Cash and equivalents totaled $43.5 million at January 3, 1999, compared to $45.2 million at December 28, 1997. Of this $43.5 million, $11.6 million collateralizes certain obligations of the Company's captive insurance subsidiary. In addition, cash and cash equivalents of WHC, which totaled $20.2 million at January 3, 1999, is generally not available to the Company. The total amount available to the Company from its revolving credit and securitization facility is $140.0 million, as amended. The Company had additional sources of liquidity in the form of a $65.0 million line of credit (as amended in February 1999), available for revolving loans or letters of credit, under which up to $15.0 million may be borrowed to meet short term liquidity needs, and a $75.0 million accounts receivable securitization facility (as amended in February 1999). Additionally, at January 3, 1999, the Company's Wackenhut Corrections subsidiary had a $30.0 million revolving credit facility, which includes $5.0 million for the issuance of letters of credit, and a $220.0 million operating lease facility to acquire and develop new correctional institutions used in its business. At January 3, 1999, $100.9 million of properties were in development under this $220.0 million operating lease facility guarantee. At January 3, 1999, the Company had $1.8 million of borrowings and $24.2 million outstanding letters of credit against its bank revolving facility. The unused portion of the revolving line of credit (as amended in February 1999) was $39.0 million. Under the accounts receivable securitization agreement, $53.0 million was outstanding at the end of fiscal 1998. Under the terms of the accounts receivable securitization facility, the Company retains substantially the same risk of credit loss as if receivables had not been sold under this facility. At January 3, 1999, no amounts were outstanding under Wackenhut Corrections' revolving credit facility, but four standby letters of credit were outstanding in an aggregate amount of $2.6 million. In April 1998, Correctional Properties Trust ("CPV"), a Maryland real estate investment trust, sold 6.2 million shares of common stock at $20.00 per share in an initial public offering. Approximately $113 million of the net proceeds of the offering were used to acquire eight correctional and detention facilities operated by Wackenhut Corrections. These properties were then leased back to Wackenhut Corrections. Wackenhut Corrections received $42.0 million for the three facilities owned by it and for its right to acquire four of the other five facilities realizing a profit on the sale of $18.0 million, which will be amortized over the ten-year lease term. The eighth facility was purchased directly from the government entity. CPV was also granted the option to acquire three additional correctional facilities then under development by the Company and the fifteen-year right to acquire and lease back future correctional and detention facilities developed or acquired by the Company. On October 30, 1998, CPV acquired the completed portion of one option facility for $26.0 million, which was leased back to the Company. In November 1998, the Company purchased certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Sharp Services, Inc. and Advantage Temporary Services, Inc. ("Sharp") for an initial payment of $8.1 million in cash, with a contingent cash payment, payable no later than May 2001, subject to certain performance requirements. In no event will the total purchase price exceed $10.0 million. The Company and Wackenhut Corrections anticipate making cash investments in connection with future acquisitions. In addition, Wackenhut Corrections will continue to use cash and its available sources of funds to finance start-up costs, leasehold improvements and equity investments in correctional facilities, if appropriate, in connection with undertaking new contracts.* Cash at the end of fiscal 1998 decreased $1.7 million to $43.5 million, compared to $45.2 million at the end of fiscal 1997. Net cash used in operating activities was $.2 million in fiscal 1998 compared to net cash generated by operating activities of $42.7 million in fiscal 1997. The increases in accounts receivable of $50.6 million, inventories of $11.0 million and deferred taxes of $15.6 million, were only partially offset by net income adjusted for non-cash items of $44.0 million, increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $23.1 million, accrued payroll and related taxes of $17.6 million and 5 reserve for losses of the casualty reinsurance subsidiary of $5.0 million. Cash used in other operating activities amounted to $12.7 million. Cash used in investing activities amounted to $29.5 million in fiscal 1998, including capital expenditures of $33.9 million, which reflects the investment in facilities of Wackenhut Corrections and the purchases of equipment related to security-related services. Payments for the acquisition of Sharp amounted to $8.1 million (net of cash acquired). The net increase in marketable securities of the Company's captive reinsurance subsidiary was $10.7 million. In addition, the Company made additional investments and advances to affiliates and joint ventures of $10.9 million and deferred $7.7 million of the cost of new information systems. These outlays of cash were partially offset by the net proceeds from the sale of prison facilities to CPV of $41.8 million. Cash provided by financing activities in fiscal 1998 amounted to $29.3 million including $53.0 million proceeds from sales of accounts receivable. Net payments on short-term and long-term debt, including the revolving credit agreement, were $11.2 million. Purchases of treasury stock of the Company and Wackenhut Corrections were $10.8 million. Cash dividends paid in fiscal 1998 amounted to $4.4 million. All other cash provided by investing activities amounted to $2.7 million. Current cash requirements consist of amounts needed for capital expenditures, increased working capital needs resulting from corporate growth and business expansion, payment of liabilities incurred in the operation of the Company's business, the renovation or construction of correctional facilities by Wackenhut Corrections, possible acquisitions, investment in information systems and the payment of dividends. The payment of future quarterly dividends will depend on earnings, financial condition, capital requirements and other relevant factors, and there is no assurance that the Company will continue to pay quarterly dividends in the future. The Company continues to expand its domestic and international businesses and to pursue major contracts, some of which may require substantial initial cash outlays, which are partially or fully recoverable over the original term of the contract. As a result of public stock offerings in 1996, both the Company and Wackenhut Corrections repaid borrowings outstanding, kept credit lines available and significantly increased their borrowing capacity. In addition, management believes that cash on hand, cash provided by operating activities and available lines of credit will be adequate to support currently planned business expansion and various obligations incurred in the operation of the Company's business through 1999. Management will continue to review its capital/financial planning alternatives to ensure long-term financial capital access and availability. YEAR 2000 READINESS DISCLOSURE Management continued its review of the installation of new information systems hardware and software and determined that the installation is on schedule for completion before the Year 2000. Other systems, including embedded technology, such as security systems are also being reviewed. The Year 2000 issue is the result of shortcomings in many electronic data processing systems and other equipment that make operations beyond the year 1999 troublesome. The internal clocks in computers and other equipment will roll over from "12/31/99" to "01/01/00" and programs and hardware, if not corrected, will be unable to distinguish between the year 2000 and the year 1900. This may result in processing data inaccurately or in stopping data processing altogether. There are five phases that describe the Company's process in becoming Year 2000 compliant. The awareness phase encompasses developing a budget and project plan. The assessment phase identifies mission-critical systems to check for compliance. Based on current information, both of these phases have been completed. The Company is at various stages in the three remaining phases:renovation, validation and implementation. Renovation is the design of the systems to be Year 2000 compliant. Validation is testing the systems followed by implementation. Implementation of the Company's Year 2000 compliant financial information systems has begun and is scheduled for complete implementation in third quarter 1999. Implementation of all other major Year 2000 compliant information systems is scheduled for completion in 1999.* The Company has incurred and will continue to incur expenses related to Year 2000 compliance. These costs include time and effort of internal staff and consultants for renovation, validation and implementation, and computer enhancements and/or replacements. The total costs to be expensed for achieving Year 2000 compliance is funded from working capital and monitored by each business unit. Systems identified are not considered applicable to the corporate core financial products. All information systems costs related to Year 2000 compliance were expensed in 1998 totalling $186,000. To complete Year 2000 information systems compliance, the Company estimates an additional $825,000 will be expensed.* These costs for Year 2000 compliance exclude the Company's total costs estimated to be incurred in previously planned new systems. Estimated costs of implementing these new systems is $19.1 million.* Costs incurred through year end total $12.4 million of which $9.1 million has been capitalized and will be amortized and $3.3 million expensed. To complete these new systems, the Company estimates $6.7 million will be incurred of which $4.2 million will be capitalized and amortized and $2.5 million will be expensed.* Deferral of other projects that would have a material effect on operations has not been required, nor anticipated, as a result of the Company's Year 2000 efforts.* Management is reviewing the state of Year 2000 readiness for third parties with whom the Company shares a material relationship, such as banks and vendors used by the Company. Inquiries have been and continue to be made to these third parties requesting written verification as to their Year 2000 status. Vendors who cannot indicate such compliance risk the possibility of being replaced. At this time, the Company is unaware of any third party Year 2000 issues that would materially affect these relationships.* The Company is developing a contingency plan and expects completing it in 1999. The components of this plan include providing paper updates to the contract management, payroll and human resources systems. These updates could be sent to corporate personnel for processing directly into the Company's new information systems. These systems will be certified Year 2000 compliant and could be updated either remotely by field sites or by corporate personnel.* The Company expects to be Year 2000 compliant in 1999 for all major systems. In the most likely worst case, remote Company site telecommunication providers would not be able to provide frame relay services to allow access to the Company's computers. In the event this were to occur, all payroll and billing would be performed under normal conditions with the exception that field updates would be performed by corporate personnel.* The Company is also assessing the risks and full impact on operations should the most reasonably likely worst case year 2000 scenario occur. In conjunction with this assessment, the Company is developing contingency plans and expects to complete them in 1999. 6 INFLATION Management believes that inflation has not had a material effect on the Company's results of operations during the past three fiscal years. While some of the Company's contracts include provisions for inflationary indexing, since personnel costs represent the Company's largest expense, inflation could have a substantial adverse effect on the Company's results of operations in the future to the extent that wages and salaries increase at a faster rate than the per diem or fixed rate received by the Company for its services.* MARKET RISK The Company is exposed to market risks, including changes in interest rates and currency exchange rates. These exposures primarily relate to outstanding balances under the revolving line of credit and securitization facilities and international investments. In addition, Wackenhut Corrections is exposed to market risks arising from changes in interest rates with respect to a $220.0 million operating lease facility (Note 17). Based on the Company's interest rate and foreign exchange rate exposure at January 3, 1999, a 10% change in the current interest rate or historical currency rate movements would not have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations over the next fiscal year.* Management continues to monitor the operations of several international subsidiaries and affiliates in countries affected by the current economic and financial crises. The losses attributable to operations in those countries and related foreign exchange fluctuations did not significantly affect the consolidated results of operations for fiscal 1998. In addition, barring a further deterioration of the international markets, management does not believe that the consolidated results of operations will be significantly affected by these events in fiscal 1999.* EURO CONVERSION Effective January 1, 1999, the European Economic and Monetary Union created a single Eurocurrency (the Euro) for its member countries. From this date, the exchange rates of participating countries is irreversibly fixed against the Euro. Management believes the impact of the Euro will not have a material impact upon the Company's results of operations or financial position since significant European operations are not located in participating countries.* RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. The table on page 27 summarizes results of operations for the Company's three business segments by organizational group. FISCAL 1998 COMPARED WITH FISCAL 1997 REVENUES Fiscal 1998 consolidated revenues increased $628.3 million or 56% over fiscal 1997, due to increases in all business groups. The Company's expansion into staff leasing/temporary services and the accelerated growth in the correctional business were the largest contributors to the increase over fiscal 1998. Security services also showed significant growth, including substantially higher growth than industry averages. SECURITY SERVICES BUSINESS Fiscal 1998 security services North American and International Operations revenues increased $118.2 million or 14% to $947.2 million from $829.0 million in fiscal 1997. NORTH AMERICAN OPERATIONS Revenues from North American Operations increased $98.2 million, or 14%,to $810.0 million in fiscal 1998 from $711.8 million in fiscal 1997. Within North American Operations, revenues from commercial accounts represented approximately 60% of total revenues of the group in fiscal 1998 versus 59% in fiscal 1997, and revenues from government/regulated industries represented the other portion. Commercial account revenues increased 15% in fiscal 1998 over fiscal 1997, primarily due to a combination of increases in billable hours and higher billing rates, as the Company continued to expand its base of national accounts and Custom Protection Officer(R)("CPO") clients. Revenues of government and regulated industries increased 12% in fiscal 1998 over fiscal 1997. INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS International Operations' revenues increased $20.0 million, or 17%,to $137.2 million in fiscal 1998 from $117.2 million in fiscal 1997. These increases were partially offset by the exit from the Australian security market. In December 1997,the Company sold its Australian security subsidiary, which had revenues of $13.8 million in fiscal 1997. Excluding the 1997 revenues from the Australian subsidiary, the increase in 1998 international operations revenue was $33.8 million, or 33%. Revenues in Latin America, principally in Puerto Rico and Guatemala, and Europe, principally in the United Kingdom, continued to increase mainly through expansion of the security related business, diversification of services, and expansion of the client base of multi-national companies. CORRECTIONAL BUSINESS Fiscal 1998 correctional services revenues increased $105.9 million, or 51%,to $312.8 million in fiscal 1998 from $206.9 million in fiscal 1997. In fiscal 1998, Wackenhut Corrections Corporation opened nine new facilities. At the end of fiscal 1998, WHC operated 26,067 beds and had 9,576 beds under construction. Occupancy increased to 97.9% of capacity in fiscal 1998 from 97.2% in fiscal 1997, and total compensated resident days increased to 7.8 million in fiscal 1998 from 5.2 million in fiscal 1997. FLEXIBLE STAFFING SERVICES The significant growth in Flexible Staffing Services has resulted from both internal growth and acquisitions. Staffing Services revenues were $495.1 million for fiscal 1998, compared to $90.9 million in fiscal 1997. The increase in revenues in fiscal 1998 reflects the acquisitions of PEM in December 1997, a professional employer organization, and Sharp, which was acquired in November 1998. When compared to the beginning of the year base business, leased employees have grown approximately 47% from 16,900 employees to 24,800. Temporary placement hours have grown approximately 50% from 1.5 million hours in 1997 to 2.2 million hours in 1998, which includes 300,000 hours from Sharp. OPERATING INCOME Fiscal 1998 consolidated operating income was $32.4 million versus $3.3 million in fiscal 1997. Excluding the one-time charges in fiscal 1997 of $18.3 million, operating income in 1998 increased $10.8 million or 50% from $21.6 million in 1997. The operating margin for fiscal 1998 was essentially flat, compared to fiscal 1997, excluding the one-time charges. Offsetting the increase in operating profit from higher revenues were the following factors:[1] WHC's lease payments to CPV,[2] the increase in information technology costs related to the new enterprise-wide systems, and [3] the increase in payroll and other direct costs of worksite employees of the staffing services. Direct costs of worksite employees of the staffing services are pass-through costs, not subject to the Company's control. 7

(a) Represents percent of total revenues. (b) Represents percent of respective business related revenues. SECURITY SERVICES BUSINESS Fiscal 1998 security services business operating income of $24.2 million increased $3.9 million, or 19%,from $20.3 million in fiscal 1997. NORTH AMERICAN OPERATIONS North American Operations operating income of $22.2 million increased $2.1 million, or 10%,from $20.1 million in fiscal 1997. This increase can be attributed mainly to increased revenue growth from commercial and government/regulated security services and improved profit margins in food services. These increases were offset by increases in administrative and corporate costs. The increase in administrative and corporate expenses as compared to fiscal 1997 was due to increases in information technology costs as the Company rolls out new enterprise wide systems and payroll related costs attributable to headquarters staff. Despite the higher costs associated with information technology, the North American Operations operating income as a percentage of revenues remained relatively stable in fiscal 1998 compared to fiscal 1997. INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS Excluding the Australian subsidiary's 1997 loss of $1.6 million, the 1998 operating income of the International Operations increased $0.2 million, or 11%,and remained essentially unchanged at about 1.5% of related revenues. Otherwise, International Operations operating income increased $1.8 million to $2.0 million in fiscal 1998 from $0.2 million in fiscal 1997. The operating income of subsidiaries in Latin American and the Caribbean continued to show significant improvements as a result of increases in the security business, diversification into other security-related services and renegotiation of billing rates. Operating results showed softness in Europe (principally the United Kingdom, Russia and Czech Republic) and Asia. CORRECTIONAL BUSINESS Fiscal 1998 operating income from the correctional business increased $6.0 million, or 36%, to $22.5 million from $16.5 million in fiscal 1997. The increase is due principally to the increased profits from the new facilities opened in fiscal 1998. Operating margin was 7.2% as a percentage of revenues in fiscal 1998, compared to 8.0% in fiscal 1997. The decrease in operating margin was due partially to the lease payments to CPV, which began in April 1998,and expensing of start-up costs due to the adoption of AICPA SOP 98-5,which were partially offset by the related decrease in amortization expense. In fiscal 1998, these additional costs were substantially offset by increased interest earnings. FLEXIBLE STAFFING SERVICES Flexible Staffing Services operating income was $2.7 million in fiscal 1998 compared to a loss of $0.3 million in fiscal 1997. This improvement is attributable principally to the acquisitions of PEM in December 1997, Sharp in November 1998 and an improvement in the profit contribution of internally developed staffing services. The operating income of the Flexible Staffing Services as a percentage of total Flexible Staffing revenues was 0.5% for fiscal 1998. However, salaries, wages, payroll taxes and other direct costs of work-site employees are pass-through costs not subject to the Company's control. The controllable revenues of the employee leasing services, the principal components of the Flexible Staffing Services, was $23.1 million in fiscal 1998 and resulted in operating margin of $2.1 million or 9.1% of controllable revenues. The combined controllable revenue, including both employee leasing and temporary staffing revenues, was $58.4 million in fiscal 1998, and the combined operating margin was $2.7 million or 4.6% of combined controllable revenues in fiscal 1998. CORPORATE EXPENSES AND INFORMATION SYSTEMS Unallocated corporate general and administrative expenses increased 14% to $17.0 million from $14.9 in 1997. The increase was due principally to an increase in information technology cost as the Company brings on-line new enterprise wide systems and payroll related costs attributable to corporate staff. However, as a percentage of consolidated revenues, unallocated corporate general and administrative expenses decreased to 1.0% from 1.3% in 1997. * Refer to notice regarding forward-looking statements on page 21. 8 EBITDA Fiscal 1998 EBITDA, defined as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, was $49.9 million versus $20.8 million in fiscal 1997. Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes the one-time charges for 1997, increased 28%, or $10.8 million, to $49.9 million from $39.1 million in fiscal 1997. As a percentage of revenues, Adjusted EBITDA was 2.8% for fiscal 1998,compared to 3.5% for fiscal 1997 and was lower in 1998 than in 1997, principally due to the increase in pass-through revenues of the Flexible Staffing Services. Excluding the pass-through revenues of the Flexible Staffing Services, EBITDA as a percentage of revenues was 3.8% in fiscal 1998. Neither EBITDA nor Adjusted EBITDA represents cash flow from operations as defined by generally accepted accounting principles. OTHER INCOME/(EXPENSE) Interest and investment income increased $0.8 million (19%) in fiscal 1998 over fiscal 1997 due to the investment of proceeds from the sale of properties by Wackenhut Corrections to CPV, a real estate investment trust. This increase was offset by an increase in interest expense of $1.3 million, due to increased fees pertaining to the accounts receivable securitization agreement. INCOME BEFORE INCOME TAXES Fiscal 1998 income before income taxes was $34.6 million, compared to $6.0 million in fiscal 1997. Income before income taxes was $10.3 million higher in fiscal 1998 than in fiscal 1997, before the one-time charge of $18.3 million, for an increase of 42%. INCOME TAXES The combined Federal and state effective income tax rate was 39.7% for fiscal 1998 and 37.7% for fiscal 1997. The higher effective rate in fiscal 1998 was due to decreases in the utilization of capital loss carryforwards from the prior year and the increase in the Federal statutory rate to 35%. MINORITY INTEREST EXPENSE Minority interest expense (net of income taxes) increased to $8.5 million in fiscal 1998 from $5.7 million in 1997, reflecting principally the increase of $2.6 million in minority interest expense pertaining to the increased earnings of Wackenhut Corrections Corporation. Minority interest expense in international subsidiaries increased $0.2 million in fiscal 1998 over fiscal 1997. EQUITY INCOME OF FOREIGN AFFILIATES Equity income of foreign affiliates (net of income taxes) increased $1.4 million, or 67%, to $3.5 million in fiscal 1998 from $2.1 million in fiscal 1997, primarily due to improved operations of Wackenhut Corrections in the United Kingdom and the operations of the International Operations in Greece, Columbia and Chile. INCOME BEFORE CUMULATIVE EFFECT OF CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE Income before cumulative effect of change in accounting principle was $15.9 million in fiscal 1998,compared to $0.1 million in fiscal 1997. Income before cumulative effect of change in accounting principle was $4.5 million higher in fiscal 1998 than in 1997, before the 1997 one-time charge of $18.3 million, ($11.3 million after income taxes) for an increase of 39%. Diluted earnings per share before the cumulative effect of change in accounting principle was $1.03 in fiscal 1998, compared to a loss of $0.01 for fiscal 1997. Fiscal 1997 diluted earnings per share, before the one-time charge, was $0.76. CUMULATIVE EFFECT OF CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE In fiscal 1998,the Company adopted SOP 98-5. The adoption of SOP 98-5 resulted in a one-time charge of $6.6 million, net of income taxes, and after deducting the portion applicable to minority shareholders of Wackenhut Corrections Corporation. On a diluted basis, the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle was $0.44 per share. NET INCOME Net income was $9.3 million for fiscal 1998, or $0.63 basic earnings per share, as compared to $0.1 million, or $0.01 per share for fiscal 1997. Earnings per share on a diluted basis was $0.59 in fiscal 1998 compared to a loss of $0.01 per share for fiscal 1997, as explained in more detail in Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. FISCAL 1997 COMPARED WITH FISCAL 1996 REVENUES Fiscal 1997 consolidated revenues increased $220.8 million or 24% over fiscal 1996. SECURITY SERVICES BUSINESS Fiscal 1997 security services business revenues increased $61.0 million or 8% to $829.0 million from $768.0 million in fiscal 1996. NORTH AMERICAN OPERATIONS Revenues of North American Operations increased $47.3 million, or 7%, to $711.8 million in fiscal 1997 from $664.5 million in fiscal 1996. Within North American Operations, revenues from commercial accounts represented approximately 59% of total revenues of the group in fiscal 1997 versus 57% in fiscal 1996. Revenues from government/regulated industries represented the other portion of revenues. Commercial account revenues increased 11% in fiscal 1997 over fiscal 1996, primarily due to the continued success of the group in developing its client base of national accounts, which increased 13% over the prior year, and marketing its higher level of quality security services of the Custom Protection Officer(R)(CPO), which increased 35% this year as compared to last year. Revenues of government and regulated industries increased 2% in fiscal 1997 over fiscal 1996. INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS International Operations' revenues increased $13.7 million, or 13%, to $117.2 million in fiscal 1997 from $103.5 million in fiscal 1996. Revenues in Latin America and Europe continued to increase principally through expansion of the core businesses and diversification of services. In December 1997,the Company sold its Australian security subsidiary, which had revenues of $13.8 million in fiscal 1997 and $13.7 million in 1996. CORRECTIONAL BUSINESS Fiscal 1997 correctional business revenues increased $69.1 million, or 50%, to $206.9 million in fiscal 1997 from $137.8 million in fiscal 1996. The increase, which reflects the dramatic growth in the industry, was due principally to the opening of seven domestic facilities and six foreign facilities. Design capacity of facilities in operation increased by 8,485 beds, or 69%, to 20,720 beds at year-end, up from 12,235 beds at the beginning of the year. Occupancy increased to 97.2% of capacity in fiscal 1997 from 96.8% in fiscal 1996, and total compensated resident days increased 45% to 5.2 million at the end of fiscal 1997 from 3.6 million for fiscal 1996. 9 FLEXIBLE STAFFING SERVICES Flexible Staffing Services was started in the third quarter of 1996,and in May 1997, the Company acquired the business and certain assets of the King Companies. Staffing Services revenues were $90.9 million for fiscal 1997. In December 1997, the Company acquired the business and substantially all of the assets of PEM. The operating results of the Company included the results of operations of the King Companies since May 1997 and PEM since December 22, 1997. PEM had revenues of approximately $200 million for its fiscal 1997. The Company intends to continue developing the staffing services business through internal growth and acquisitions.* OPERATING INCOME Fiscal 1997 consolidated operating income was $3.3 million versus $16.3 million in fiscal 1996. Before the one-time charges, fiscal 1997 operating income of $21.6 million was $4.5 million, or 26%, higher than fiscal 1996 operating income of $17.1 million. SECURITY SERVICES BUSINESS Fiscal 1997 security services business operating income of $20.3 million increased $1.6 million, or 8%, from $18.7 million in fiscal 1996. NORTH AMERICAN OPERATIONS North American operating income remained essentially flat. However, operating results for the second half of 1996, benefited from a one-time reduction ("holiday") in health insurance costs and adjustments to insurance accruals of approximately $0.8 million. INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS As previously discussed, the Company sold its Australian security business and certain related assets in January 1998. The operating loss of Wackenhut of Australia was $1.6 million in fiscal 1997 and $2.5 million in fiscal 1996. International Operations operating income increased $1.4 million to $0.2 million in fiscal 1997 from a loss of $1.3 million in fiscal 1996. Excluding the loss of Wackenhut of Australia, International Operations operating income was $0.5 million, or 44% higher in fiscal 1997 versus fiscal 1996. The operating income of subsidiaries in Latin American and Europe continued to show significant improvements as a result of increases in the core security business and diversification into other security-related services. CORRECTIONAL BUSINESS Fiscal 1997 operating income from the correctional business increased $6.8 million, or 70%, to $16.5 million from $9.7 million in fiscal 1996. Operating margin improved 0.9% as a percentage of revenues from 7.1% in fiscal 1996 to 8.0% in fiscal 1997. The improved results are attributable principally to increased profit contribution from new facilities, increased utilization of existing facilities and continued leveraging of overhead. FLEXIBLE STAFFING SERVICES Flexible Staffing Services operating loss was $0.3 million in fiscal 1997,its first full year of operations, compared to a loss of $365,000 in fiscal 1996. CORPORATE EXPENSES AND INFORMATION SYSTEMS The increase in corporate expenses resulted principally from an increase in information technology costs in fiscal 1997 compared to fiscal 1996,as the Company redesigns its systems hardware and software architecture. In addition, there was an increase in personnel related costs attributable to the return to fully-staffed levels after the relocation of the headquarters facility. During the current year, management reviewed the information systems requirements of the Company and determined that the investment in deferred information systems costs was impaired. Consequently, the Company wrote off its investment in deferred information systems costs in the fourth quarter of 1997. In addition, management developed a plan to address its future information systems needs and the Year 2000 issue. EBITDA Fiscal 1997 EBITDA, defined as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, was $20.8 million versus $30.1 million in fiscal 1996. Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes the one-time charges for both years, increased 26%,or $8.2 million, to $39.1 million from $30.9 million in fiscal 1996. As a percentage of revenues, Adjusted EBITDA improved to 3.5% from 3.4%. Neither EBITDA nor Adjusted EBITDA represents cash flow from operations as defined by generally accepted accounting principles. OTHER INCOME/EXPENSE Other income increased $1.1 million to $2.7 million in fiscal 1997 from $1.6 million in fiscal 1996, primarily due to the decrease in interest expense of $1.2 million. Borrowings under the accounts receivable securitization and revolving credit facilities were at a minimum during 1997, as cash from operations and cash proceeds from the 1996 public offerings of the Company and Wackenhut Corrections were used for acquisitions, start-up and construction of new facilities. INCOME BEFORE INCOME TAXES Fiscal 1997 income before income taxes was $6.0 million, after deducting the one-time charge of $18.3 million, compared to $17.9 million in fiscal 1996. Before the one-time charge, income before income taxes was $24.3 million in fiscal 1997, compared to $17.9 million in fiscal 1996 for an increase of $6.5 million, or 36%. INCOME TAXES The combined federal and state effective income tax rate was 37.7% for fiscal 1997 and 35.3% for fiscal 1996. The higher effective rate in fiscal 1997 was due to decreases in the utilization of capital loss carryforwards and tax exempt income of the reinsurance subsidiary. MINORITY INTEREST EXPENSE Minority interest expense (net of income taxes) increased to $5.7 million in 1997 from $4.1 million in 1996, reflecting principally the increase in earnings of Wackenhut Corrections Corporation. EQUITY INCOME OF FOREIGN AFFILIATES Equity income of foreign affiliates (net of income taxes) increased $0.5 million, or 28%, to $2.1 million in fiscal 1997 from $1.6 million in fiscal 1996, primarily due to an increase in the income of the joint venture of Wackenhut Corrections in the United Kingdom. NET INCOME Net Income was $0.1 million for fiscal 1997, or $0.01 per share, as compared to $9.1 million, or $0.66 per share for fiscal 1996. Earnings per share on a diluted basis was a loss of $0.01 in fiscal 1997 compared to earnings per share of $0.65 for fiscal 1996. Net income for fiscal 1997 was reduced by the one-time charge of $11.3 million after income taxes, or $0.76 per share. * Refer to notice regarding forward-looking statements on page 21. 10 The Wackenhut Corporation and Subsidiaries CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF INCOME (in millions except per share data) FISCAL YEARS ENDED JANUARY 3, 1999, DECEMBER 28, 1997, and DECEMBER 29, 1996

The accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements are an integral part of these statements. 14 The Wackenhut Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Tabular information in millions except share and per share data) For the Fiscal Years Ended January 3, 1999, December 28, 1997, and December 29, 1996 (1)GENERAL The Wackenhut Corporation, a Florida corporation, and subsidiaries (the "Company"), including Wackenhut Corrections Corporation ("WHC"), a 55% owned subsidiary, is a major provider of business services which include security-related and other support services to business and government, a leading developer and manager of privatized correctional and detention facilities, and a provider of employee leasing and temporary staffing. The Company operates on a worldwide basis with domestic and international operations. (2)SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES FISCAL YEAR The Company's fiscal year ends on the Sunday closest to the calendar year end. Fiscal year 1998 included 53 weeks. Fiscal years 1997 and 1996 each included 52 weeks. BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Investments in 20 percent to 50 percent owned affiliates are accounted for under the equity method. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. For segment reporting, the accounts of the Company's captive insurance company have been included in unallocated corporate expenses. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year's presentation. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, notes receivable, notes payable, accounts payable and long-term debt approximates fair value. Marketable securities are classified as available- for-sale. Realized gains and losses from the sale of securities are based on specific identification of the security. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS The Company classifies as cash equivalents all interest-bearing deposits or investments with original maturities of three months or less. INVENTORIES Food, alarm systems and electronics inventories are carried at the lower of cost or market, on a first-in first-out basis. Uniform inventories are carried at amortized cost. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of related assets. Accelerated methods of depreciation are generally used for income tax purposes. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the useful life of the improvement or the term of the lease. LONG-LIVED ASSETS Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of," requires that long-lived assets, including certain identifiable intangibles, and the goodwill related to those assets, be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset in question may not be recoverable. Management has reviewed the Company's long-lived assets and has determined that there are no events requiring impairment loss recognition, other than those disclosed. INTANGIBLES AND DEFERRED START-UP COSTS Intangibles include goodwill and the fair market value of contracts purchased in acquisitions. Goodwill represents the cost of an acquired enterprise in excess of the fair market value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired. Goodwill and contract values are amortized on a straight-line basis over 10 to 30 years. Through December 28, 1997, project development costs consisting of direct and incremental costs paid to unrelated third parties that were directly associated with a specific anticipated contract were deferred until the anticipated contract had been awarded. At the time the contract was awarded to the Company, the deferred project development costs were either capitalized as part of the property and equipment or were amortized over five years as project development costs. Internal costs associated with securing new contracts are expensed as incurred. Project development costs were charged to general and administrative expenses when the success of obtaining a new contract was considered doubtful. Also through December 28, 1997, deferred start-up costs, which consist of costs of initial employee training, travel and other direct expenses primarily incurred in connection with the opening of new correctional facilities, were previously capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the lesser of the initial term of the contract plus renewals or five years. During the fourth quarter of 1998, the Company adopted AICPA Statement of Position 98-5 ("SOP 98-5"), "Accounting for Costs of Start-up Activities." SOP 98-5 requires the expensing of start-up costs, defined as pre-opening, pre-operating and pre-contract type costs. The adoption of SOP 98-5, which was applied retroactively to the first quarter of 1998, resulted in a one-time charge of $6.6 million, net of income taxes and after deducting the portion applicable to minority shareholders of Wackenhut Corrections Corporation. On a diluted basis, the cumulative effect of change in accounting principle was $0.44 per share. 15 DEFERRED SOFTWARE AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS The Company capitalizes purchased software which is ready for service and certain development costs related to the design and implementation of purchased and internally developed information systems software with a useful life of more than one year. Upon implementation of the software, deferred computer software costs will be amortized using the straight line method over the expected useful life of the product, not to exceed five years. The costs of computer software upgrades and maintenance are expensed as incurred. DEFERRED REVENUE Deferred revenue represents the unamortized net profit of the sale of properties by WHC to Correctional Properties Trust ("CPV"), a Maryland real estate investment trust. These properties were then leased back by CPV to WHC. Deferred revenue is being amortized over the lives of the leases and is recognized in income as a reduction of rental expense. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION The Company's foreign operations use the local currency as their functional currency. Assets and liabilities of the operations (except for countries with highly inflationary economies) are translated at the exchange rates in effect on the balance sheet date. Income statement items (except for countries with highly inflationary economies) are translated at the average exchange rates for the reporting period. The impact of these currency fluctuations is included in shareholders' equity as the component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The financial statements of subsidiaries located in highly inflationary economies are remeasured as if the functional currency were the U.S. dollar. The remeasurement of these local currencies into U.S. dollars creates translation adjustments which are included in the statements of income. REVENUES Revenue is recognized as services are provided. During fiscal years 1998, 1997 and 1996, revenue from one customer, the U.S. Department of Energy, accounted for approximately 7%, 11% and 15%, respectively, of the Company's consolidated revenues. INCOME TAXES The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Under this method, deferred income taxes are determined on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities given the provisions of enacted tax laws. Deferred income tax provisions and benefits are based on changes to the asset or liability from year to year. MINORITY INTEREST The minority interest expense represents principally the separate public ownership in WHC, as listed on the New York Stock Exchange, and the ownership by foreign investors in several subsidiaries of Wackenhut International, Incorporated. EARNINGS PER SHARE In 1997, the Company adopted SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share." Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. In the computation of diluted earnings per share, net income is reduced by the dilutive effect of WHC's stock options and dividing the result by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding of all potential dilutive common stock equivalents. STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NO. 133 In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." This Statement establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. SFAS No. 133 requires that changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. SFAS No. 133 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. Management believes the impact of adopting this statement in 2000 will not have a material impact upon the Company's results of operations or financial position. (3)ACQUISITIONS In November 1998, the Company purchased certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Sharp Services, Inc. and Advantage Temporary Services, Inc., for an initial payment of $8.1 million in cash, with a contingent cash payment, payable no later than May 2001, subject to adjustments based on actual workers' compensation claims. In no event will the total purchase price exceed $10 million. The acquisitions were accounted for under the purchase method, and the Company recorded approximately $5.4 million of goodwill which is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 30 years. In December 1997, the Company purchased certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Professional Employee Management, Inc., a professional employer organization in Sarasota, Florida for an initial payment of $18.9 million in cash, together with a series of contingent earn-out payments which will become payable either in cash or shares of the Company's series B Common Stock (at the option of the Company) based on performance. In 1998, the Company recorded an additional $4.1 million liability under the contingent earn-out, which will be paid out in cash subsequent to January 3, 1999. In no event will the total purchase price exceed $50.7 million. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method, and to date the Company has recorded $21.7 million of goodwill, which is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 30 years. In May 1997, the Company purchased the King Companies of Jacksonville, Florida, a professional employer organization and temporary employment business, for approximately $10.7 million in cash and $0.8 million of shares of Wackenhut Series B (non-voting) common stock. The acquisition of the King Companies was accounted for under the purchase method. The Company recorded approximately $11.3 million of goodwill which is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 30 years. The results of operations for Sharp, Advantage, PEM and the King Companies have been included in the Company's consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. The following unaudited pro forma information combines the consolidated results of operations of the Company, Sharp, Advantage, PEM and the King Companies as if the acquisitions had occurred at the beginning of the periods presented. 16

Incurred losses are recorded as reported. Provision is made to cover losses incurred but not reported. Loss reserves are computed based on actuarial studies and, in the opinion of management, are adequate. A summary of operations for the last three fiscal years is as follows:
1998 1997 1996 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Intercompany premiums $ 27.2 $ 20.7 $ 18.6 Loss expense (26.0) (21.2) (19.1) --------- --------- --------- Underwriting gain (loss) 1.2 (0.5) (0.5) Investment income 3.1 2.9 2.7 --------- --------- --------- $ 4.3 $ 2.4 $ 2.2 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Company has placed in trust, in favor of certain insurance companies, its marketable securities and $11.6 million in cash and cash equivalents, and has issued irrevocable standby letters of credit for $21.4 million. Municipal bonds mature from 2018 to 2026 and government bonds mature in periods ranging from 3 to 25 years. At January 3, 1999, the Company's reinsurance subsidiary has specific restrictions on future purchases of marketable securities, and on withdrawals from the trust. (6)INVESTMENT IN AFFILIATES Equity in undistributed earnings of foreign affiliates approximated $14.0 million and $8.8 million at January 3, 1999 and December 28, 1997, respectively, and is included in "Investments in and advances to foreign affiliates."

(8)ONE-TIME CHARGE During the fourth quarter of 1997, the Company recognized a one-time pretax charge of $18.3 million ($11.3 million after income taxes, or $0.76 per share). The one-time charge included a loss of $6 million ($3.8 million after income taxes) on the sale of the Company's Australian security subsidiary. In addition, deferred information systems costs, related to the Company's former information systems, and certain domestic and international investments were identified by the Company as impaired as a result of the Company's strategic review process and updated analysis, resulting in a write-off of $12.3 million ($7.4 million after income taxes). 17 (9)NOTES PAYABLE AND LONG-TERM DEBT Long-term debt consists of the following:
1998 1997 - ------------------------------------------------------------------ Revolving loan - 5.4% in 1998 and 6.9% in 1997 $ 1.8 $ 12.9 Lease obligation payable in installments through 2004 at a weighted average rate of 4.5% 1.8 Other debt principally related to Wackenhut Corrections, North American operations, and international subsidiaries 0.1 0.4 ------ ------- Total 3.7 13.3 Less current portion of lease obligation 0.4 ------ ------- Total $ 3.3 $ 13.3 - ------------------------------------------------------------------
On December 30, 1997, the Company entered into a revolving credit agreement under which the Company may borrow up to $40 million. As of January 3, 1999, the unused portion of the revolving line of credit was $14 million, after deducting $24.2 million in outstanding letters of credit. In February 1999, the Company amended its revolving credit agreement under which up to $65 million may be borrowed. The interest payable is, at the Company's option, a function of the applicable LIBOR or certificate of deposit rates and at January 3, 1999, the interest rate was 5.4%. The agreement requires, among other things, that the Company maintain a minimum consolidated net worth, as defined, and limits certain payments and distributions. As of January 3, 1999, the Company was in compliance with the applicable loan covenants. In December, 1997, the Company entered into a three-year agreement to sell, on an on-going basis, an undivided interest in a defined pool of eligible receivables up to a maximum of $60 million. In February 1999, the Company amended the agreement to increase the eligible receivables to a maximum of $75 million. The costs associated with this program are based upon the purchasers' level of investment and cost of issuing commercial paper plus predetermined fees. Such costs are included in "Interest expense" in the consolidated statements of income. There were $53 million accounts receivable sold under this agreement at January 3, 1999 and none at December 28, 1997 and December 29, 1996. The total amount available to the Company from its revolving credit and accounts receivable securitization facility is $140 million, as amended. The Company has a demand operating line of credit with a Canadian bank with a maximum borrowing amount of $2.1 million. At January 3, 1999, the Company had short-term borrowings under this line of credit of $1 million for working capital purposes, bearing interest at the bank's prime lending rate of 6.8%. At December 31, 1997, the Company had an outstanding note payable of $2.5 million, bearing interest at an average rate of 7.2%, to meet working capital needs of an international subsidiary, which was paid off in 1998. In June, 1997, Wackenhut Corrections entered into a $30 million revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks, which includes a $5 million line of credit for the issuance of letters of credit. The interest payable is a function of the prime rate, federal funds rate or LIBOR, depending upon fixed charge coverage ratios. The facility also limits certain payments and distributions. As of January 3, 1999, no amounts were outstanding under this facility, but outstanding letters of credit amounted to $2.6 million. The long-term portion of the capital lease obligation maturing during each of the four years after 1999 is $.4 million, $.4 million, $.5 million and $.1 million, respectively. All other long-term debt matures in 2000. (10) SALE OF FACILITIES TO CORRECTIONAL PROPERTIES TRUST On April 28 1998, Correctional Properties Trust ("CPV"), a Maryland real estate investment trust, sold 6.2 million shares of common stock at $20.00 per share in an initial public offering. Approximately $113 million of the net proceeds of the offering were used to acquire eight correctional and detention facilities operated by WHC. WHC received approximately $42 million for the three facilities owned by it and for the rights to acquire four of the other five facilities, and realized a profit on the sale of approximately $18 million to WHC which is being amortized over the ten-year lease term. The eighth facility was purchased directly from the government entity. The deferred unamortized net profit at January 3, 1999, is $15.8 million with $1.7 million short-term, included with accrued expenses, and $14.1 million long-term excluding the long-term portion of deferred development fee revenue. Subsequent to the purchase, CPV is leasing these eight facilities to WHC. As the lease agreements are subject to contractual lease increases, the Company records operating lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the term of the leases. CPV also was granted the option to acquire three additional correctional facilities currently under development by WHC and the fifteen-year right to acquire and lease back future correctional and detention facilities developed or acquired by WHC. The Company recorded net rental expense related to CPV in 1998 of $6.9 million. On October 30, 1998, CPV acquired the completed portion of the ninth facility for $26.0 million. Simultaneous with the purchase, the Company entered into a ten-year lease of the facility from CPV. The future minimum lease commitments under the leases for these nine facilities are as follows:
Year Annual Rental - ---------------------------------- 1999 $ 13.5 2000 13.9 2001 14.1 2002 14.1 2003 14.1 Thereafter 57.2 ---- $ 126.9 - ----------------------------------
(11) PREFERRED, COMMON AND TREASURY STOCK The Board of Directors has authorized 10 million shares of preferred stock. In early 1996, the Board of Directors increased the authorized shares of the Company's common stock from 20 million shares to 50 million shares, with 3.9 million shares to be designated as series A common stock and 46.1 million shares to be designated as series B common stock. 18 During the second quarter of 1996, the Company sold 2.5 million shares of its series B common stock in connection with a public offering at a price of $23.50 per share, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses. During the second quarter of 1997, the Company issued 69.2 thousand shares of its series B common stock in connection with the acquisition of the King Companies at a price of $12.15 per share. The Board of Directors of the Company and of Wackenhut Corrections authorized the repurchase, at the discretion of each company's senior management, of up to 0.5 million shares of series B common stock and 0.5 million shares of Wackenhut Corrections common stock, respectively. The Company's repurchases of shares of common stock are recorded as treasury stock and result in a reduction of share- holders' equity. Wackenhut Corrections' repurchases of shares of common stock are recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital and minority interest. As of January 3, 1999, the Company had bought back 196,400 shares of the Company's Series B common stock at an average price of $15.48, and Wackenhut Corrections purchased 453,500 shares of Wackenhut Corrections common stock at an average price of $19.52 per share. In February 1999, the Board of Directors of Wackenhut Corrections authorized, in addition to that previously authorized, the repurchase of up to 0.5 million shares of its common stock. (12) STOCK INCENTIVE AND STOCK OPTION PLANS Key employees of the Company and its subsidiaries are eligible to participate in the Key Employee Long-Term Incentive Stock Plan (incentive stock plan). Under the incentive stock plan, options for the Company's series B common stock are granted to participants as approved by the Nominating and Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors (Committee). Under terms of the incentive stock plan, options are granted at prices not less than the fair market value at date of grant (or as otherwise determined by the Committee), become exercisable after a minimum of six months, and expire no later than ten years after the date of grant. The Committee may grant incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options. Options are subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events, including stock splits and stock dividends. The incentive stock plan authorizes the Company to award or grant, from time to time, restricted stock and performance stock to key employees. Nonemployee directors of the Company are eligible to participate in The Wackenhut Corporation nonemployee director stock option plan (directors' stock option plan). Under the directors' stock option plan, nonemployee directors are granted 2,000 stock options for series B common stock upon their election or re-election to the Board of Directors. Under terms of the directors' stock option plan, options are granted at the fair market value at date of grant, become exercisable at date of grant, and expire ten years after the date of grant.

The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting for its stock-based compensation plans. Accordingly, no compensation cost has bee recognized for its stock option plans. Had compensation for the Company's stock-based compensation plans been determined pursuant to SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," the Company's net income and earnings per share would have decreased accordingly. Using the Black-Scholes option pricing model for all options granted after January 1, 1995, the Company's pro forma net income, pro forma net income per share and pro forma weighted average fair value of options granted, with related assumptions, are as follows:
1998 1997 1996 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pro forma basic net income $ 8.2 $ (0.6) $ 8.5 Pro forma basic earnings per share $ 0.55 $ (0.04) $ 0.62 Pro forma diluted net income $ 7.7 $ (0.7) $ 8.4 Pro forma diluted earnings per share $ 0.51 $ (0.05) $ 0.60 Pro forma weighted average fair value of options granted $ 6.94 $ 5.65 $ 4.81 Risk-free interest rate 5.4% - 5.6% 5.9% - 6.3% 5.6% Expected life (years) 5 5 5 Expected volatility 35.0% 36.0% 36.0% Quarterly dividend $ 0.075 $ 0.065 $0.065 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(13) RETIREMENT AND DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLANS The Company has a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan covering certain of its executives. Retirement benefits are based on years of service, employees' average compensation for the last five years prior to retirement and social security benefits. Currently, the plan is not funded. The Company purchases and is the beneficiary of life insurance policies for each participant enrolled in the plan. 19 The assumptions for the discount rate and the average increase in compensation used in determining the pension expense and funded status information are 6.0% and 4.0%, respectively. Total pension expense for 1998, 1997, and 1996 was $0.58 million, $0.45 million, and $0.42 million, respectively. The present value of accumulated pension benefits at year end 1998, 1997 and 1996 was $3.03 million, $2.97 million, and $2.44 million, respectively and is included in "Other liabilities" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company has established non-qualified deferred compensation agreements with certain senior executives providing for fixed annual benefits ranging from $100,000 to $175,000 payable upon retirement at approximately age 60 for a period of 20 years. In the event of death before retirement, annual benefits are paid to beneficiaries for a period of 10 years. Currently, the plan is not funded. The Company purchases and is the beneficiary of life insurance policies for each participant enrolled in the plan. The cost of these agreements is being charged to expense and accrued using a present value method over the expected terms of employment. The charge to expense for fiscal 1998, 1997, and 1996 was $1.54 million, $0.59 million, and $0.53 million, respectively. The liability for deferred compensation was $5.68 million and $3.97 million at year end 1998 and 1997, respectively, and is included in "Other liabilities" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. (14) INCOME TAXES The provision (credit) for income taxes in the consolidated statements of income consists of the following:
Fiscal year ended 1998 1997 1996 - --------------------------------------------------------------------- Federal income taxes: Current $ 15.8 $ 1.8 $ (3.4) Deferred (4.9) (0.1) 8.6 --------------------------- 10.9 1.7 5.2 State income taxes: Current $ 3.5 $ 0.9 $ 0.3 Deferred (0.7) (0.3) 0.6 --------------------------- 2.8 0.6 0.9 --------------------------- Foreign income taxes $ 0.2 --------------------------- Total $ 13.7 $ 2.3 $ 6.3 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------
A reconciliation of the statutory U.S. federal tax rate (35% in 1998, 34% in 1997 and 1996) and the effective income tax rate is as follows:
Fiscal year ended 1998 1997 1996 - --------------------------------------------------------------------- Provision using statutory federal income tax rate $ 12.1 $ 2.1 $ 6.1 State income taxes, net of federal benefit 1.6 0.3 0.5 Capital loss carryforward utilization (0.2) (0.4) Tax exempt interest (0.2) (0.1) (0.1) Other, net 0.2 0.2 0.2 --------------------------- $ 13.7 $ 2.3 $ 6.3 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------
The components of the net current deferred income tax asset (liability) at January 3, 1999 and December 28, 1997 are as follows:
Fiscal year ended 1998 1997 - --------------------------------------------------------------------- Amortization of uniforms and accessories $ (2.3) $ (2.0) Amortization of deferred charges (1.6) Accrued vacation pay 2.2 2.2 Other reserves 7.5 4.9 -------------------------- Deferred tax asset, net $ 7.4 $ 3.5 - --------------------------------------------------------------------- - ---------------------------------------------------------------------
The components of the net non-current deferred income tax asset (liability) at January 3, 1999 and December 28, 1997 are shown below:

The exercise of non-qualified stock options which have been granted under the Company's stock option plans gives rise to compensation which is includable in the taxable income of the applicable employees and deducted by the Company for federal and state income tax purposes. Such compensation results from increases in the fair market value of the Company's common stock subsequent to the date of grant. In accordance with APB No. 25, such compensation is not recognized as an expense for financial accounting purposes and related tax benefits are credited directly to additional paid-in capital. (15) WACKENHUT CORRECTIONS CORPORATION PUBLIC OFFERINGS In January 1996, Wackenhut Corrections sold 4.6 million shares of common stock at an offering price of $12.00 per share. Net proceeds of approximately $51.6 million from the offering have been and will be used for possible future acquisitions, capital investments in new facilities, working capital requirements and general corporate purposes. After the offering, the Company's ownership in Wackenhut Corrections was reduced to approximately 55%. During 1998, the exercise of 179,380 non-qualified stock options of Wackenhut Corrections, net of treasury stock purchases, resulted in the Company's ownership of Wackenhut Corrections equaling approximately 55% at January 3, 1999. The Board of Directors of Wackenhut Corrections has granted non-qualified stock options to purchase common stock which, if fully exercised, would reduce the Company's ownership in Wackenhut Corrections to approximately 53%. (16) EARNINGS PER SHARE The table below shows the amounts used in computing earnings per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128. Common stock equivalents, related to stock options if exercised, are excluded from diluted earnings (loss) per share calculations if their effect would be anti-dilutive. In 1998, 1997 and 1996 the total number of stock options excluded because their effect would have been anti-dilutive were 263,231, 266,997 and 14,000 respectively (share data in millions). 20

(17) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES In February 1999, the Company's insurer filed Declaratory actions against the Company asking for Declaratory judgments that the insurer does not have a duty to defend or to indemnify the Company in two underlying complaints against the Company. The underlying actions seek compensatory and punitive damages of substantial amounts which could materially adversely affect the Company's financial condition if there was an unfavorable outcome. The Company denies the claims made in the underlying cases and believes they are without merit. The Company is vigorously defending both actions. Although the ultimate outcome of this litigation cannot be predicted with any certainty, in the opinion of management, the Company has valid defenses to the claims made. In addition, the Company intends to contest its insurer's denial of responsibility in the underlying cases. In addition, the Company is presently, and is from time to time, subject to other claims arising in the ordinary course of its business. In certain of such actions, plaintiffs request punitive or other damages that may not be covered by insurance. In the opinion of management, there are no other pending legal proceedings that would have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Company. The Company leases office space, data processing equipment and automobiles under non-cancelable operating leases expiring between 1999 and 2017. Rent expense for the fiscal years ended January 3, 1999, December 28, 1997, and December 29, 1996 was $15.8 million, $10.0 million, and $9.6 million, respectively. In December 1997, Wackenhut Corrections entered into a $220 million operating lease facility that was established to acquire and develop new correctional institutions used in its business. As a condition of this facility, Wackenhut Corrections unconditionally agreed to guarantee certain obligations of First Security Bank, N.A., a party to the aforementioned operating lease facility. As of January 3, 1999, approximately $100.9 million of properties were under development under this facility. The minimum commitments under these leases and the 15 year lease for the corporate headquarters, are as follows:
Minimum Year Commitment - --------------------------------------------------- 1999 $ 11.6 2000 9.9 2001 7.4 2002 6.3 2003 5.1 Thereafter 25.3 ------- $ 65.6 - ---------------------------------------------------
(18)BUSINESS SEGMENTS The Company's principal segments are grouped based on similarity of business services provided and the type of customer for which these services are offered. These services consists of security services, correctional services and flexible staffing services. The Company is a major provider of business services which include security-related and other support services to business and government, a leading developer and manager of privatized correctional and detention facilities, and a provider of employee leasing and temporary staffing. Intersegment transactions are accounted for on an arms-length basis and are eliminated in consolidation. Direct general and administrative expenses are allocated based on usage.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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 audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The Wackenhut Corporation and subsidiaries as of January 3, 1999 and December 28, 1997, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended January 3, 1999, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, effective December 29, 1997, the Company changed its method of accounting for costs of start-up activities. ARTHUR ANDERSEN LLP West Palm Beach, Florida, February 19, 1999. MANAGEMENT'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS To the Shareholders of The Wackenhut Corporation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. They include amounts based on judgments and estimates. Representation in the consolidated financial statements and the fairness and integrity of such statements are the responsibility of management. In order to meet management's responsibility, the Company maintains a system of internal controls and procedures and a program of internal audits designed to provide reasonable assurance that the Company's assets are controlled and safeguarded, that transactions are executed in accordance with management's authorization and properly recorded, and that accounting records may be relied upon in the preparation of consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements have been audited by Arthur Andersen LLP, independent certified public accountants, whose appointment was ratified by shareholders. Their report expresses a professional opinion as to whether management's financial statements considered in their entirety present fairly, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, the Company's financial position and results of operations. Their audit was conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. As part of this audit, Arthur Andersen LLP considered the Company's system of internal controls to the degree they deemed necessary to determine the nature, timing and extent of their audit tests which support their opinion on the consolidated financial statements. The audit committee of the board of directors meets periodically with representatives of management, the independent certified public accountants and the Company's internal auditors to review matters relating to financial reporting, internal accounting controls and auditing. Both the internal auditors and the independent certified public accountants have unrestricted access to the audit committee to discuss the results of their reviews. /s/George R.
