5.	REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS

Acquisitions

On August 27, 2015, CoreCivic acquired four community corrections facilities from a privately held owner of community corrections facilities and other government leased assets. The four acquired community corrections facilities have a capacity of approximately 600 beds and are leased to The GEO Group, Inc. ("GEO") under triple net lease agreements that extend through July 2019 and include multiple five-year lease extension options. GEO separately contracts with the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections and the Philadelphia Prison System to provide rehabilitative and reentry services to residents and inmates at the leased facilities. CoreCivic acquired the four facilities in the real estate-only transaction as a strategic investment that expands the Company's investment in the residential reentry market. The consideration paid for the asset portfolio consisted of approximately $13.8 million in cash, excluding transaction related expenses. In allocating the purchase price, CoreCivic recorded $13.4 million of net tangible assets and $0.4 million of identifiable intangible assets.

On June 10, 2016, CoreCivic acquired a residential reentry facility in Long Beach, California from a privately held owner for approximately $7.7 million in cash, excluding transaction-related expenses. In allocating the purchase price, CoreCivic recorded $7.4 million of net tangible assets and $0.3 million of identifiable intangible assets. The 112-bed facility is leased to GEO under a triple net lease agreement that extends through June 2020 and includes one five-year lease extension option. GEO separately contracts with the CDCR to provide rehabilitative and reentry services to residents at the leased facility. CoreCivic acquired the facility in the real estate–only transaction as a strategic investment that expands the Company's investment in the residential reentry market.

On January 1, 2017, CoreCivic acquired the Arapahoe Community Treatment Center, a 135-bed residential reentry center in Englewood, Colorado, for $5.5 million in cash, excluding transaction-related expenses. The acquisition included a contract with Arapahoe County whereby CoreCivic provides residential reentry services for up to 135 residents.

On February 10, 2017, CoreCivic acquired the Stockton Female Community Corrections Facility, a 100-bed residential reentry center in Stockton, California, in a real estate-only transaction for $1.6 million, excluding transaction-related expenses. The 100-bed Stockton facility is leased to a third-party operator pursuant to a lease agreement that extends through April 2021 and includes one five-year lease extension option. The lessee separately contracts with the CDCR to provide rehabilitative and reentry services to female residents at the leased facility.

On August 1, 2017, CoreCivic acquired New Beginnings Treatment Center, Inc. ("NBTC"), an Arizona-based community corrections company, along with the real estate used in the operation of NBTC's business from an affiliate of NBTC, for an aggregate purchase price of $6.4 million, excluding transaction related expenses. In connection with the acquisition, CoreCivic assumed a contract with the BOP to provide reentry services to male and female adults at the 92-bed Oracle Transitional Center located in Tucson, Arizona.

On September 15, 2017, CoreCivic acquired a portfolio of four properties for an aggregate purchase price of $8.7 million, excluding transaction related expenses. The acquisition included a 230-bed residential reentry center leased to the state of Georgia, and three properties in North Carolina and Georgia leased to the General Services Administration, an independent agency of the United States government, two of which are occupied by the Social Security Administration, and one of which is occupied by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS").

In allocating the purchase price of the four acquisitions in 2017, CoreCivic recorded $20.1 million of net tangible assets, $1.8 million of identifiable intangible assets, and $0.3 million of tenant improvements associated with one of the North Carolina leased properties which was recognized as a receivable and will be recovered by payments from the lessee. CoreCivic acquired the properties as strategic investments that further expand the Company's network of residential reentry centers and further diversify the Company's cash flows through government-leased properties.

Leasing Transactions

In May 2016, CoreCivic entered into a lease with the Oklahoma Department of Corrections ("ODOC") for its previously idled 2,400-bed North Fork Correctional Facility. The lease agreement commenced on July 1, 2016, and includes a five-year base term with unlimited two-year renewal options. However, the lease agreement permitted the ODOC to utilize the facility for certain activation activities and, therefore, revenue recognition began upon execution of the lease. The average annual rent to be recognized during the base term is $7.3 million, including annual rent in the fifth year of $12.0 million. After the five-year base term, the annual rent will be equal to the rent due during the prior lease year, adjusted for increases in the Consumer Price Index ("CPI"). CoreCivic is responsible for repairs and maintenance, property taxes and property insurance, while all other aspects and costs of facility operations are the responsibility of the ODOC.

Idle Facilities

On April 30, 2017, the contract with the BOP at the Company's 1,422-bed Eden Detention Center expired and was not renewed. CoreCivic idled the Eden facility following the transfer of the offender population, and has begun to market the facility. The Company can provide no assurance that it will be successful in securing a replacement contract. CoreCivic performed an impairment analysis of the Eden facility, which had a net carrying value of $39.7 million as of December 31, 2017, and concluded that this asset has a recoverable value in excess of the carrying value.

As a result of declines in federal populations at the Company's 910-bed Torrance County Detention Facility and 1,129-bed Cibola County Corrections Center, during the third quarter of 2017, CoreCivic made the decision to consolidate offender populations into its Cibola facility in order to take advantage of efficiencies gained by consolidating populations into one facility. CoreCivic idled the Torrance facility in the fourth quarter of 2017 following the transfer of the offender population, and has begun to market the facility to other potential customers. The Company can provide no assurance that it will be successful in securing a replacement contract. CoreCivic performed an impairment analysis of the Torrance facility, which had a net carrying value of $36.9 million as of December 31, 2017, and concluded that this asset has a recoverable value in excess of the carrying value.

As of December 31, 2017, CoreCivic had eight idled facilities, including the Eden and Torrance facilities, that are currently available and being actively marketed to potential customers. The following table summarizes each of the idled facilities and their respective carrying values, excluding equipment and other assets that could generally be transferred and used at other facilities CoreCivic owns without significant cost (dollars in thousands):

	Design		Date	Net Carrying Values at December 31,
Facility	Capacity		Idled	2017		2016
Prairie Correctional Facility		1,600	2010	$	16,118	$	17,071
Huerfano County Correctional Center		752	2010		16,980		17,542
Diamondback Correctional Facility		2,160	2010		41,370		41,539
Southeast Kentucky Correctional Facility		656	2012		21,864		22,618
Marion Adjustment Center		826	2013		12,058		12,135
Kit Carson Correctional Center		1,488	2016		57,095		58,819
Eden Detention Center		1,422	2017		39,707		41,269
Torrance County Detention Facility		910	2017		36,882		38,109
		9,814		$	242,074	$	249,102

CoreCivic also has two idled non-core facilities containing 440 beds with an aggregate net book value of $4.0 million. CoreCivic incurred approximately $10.8 million, $8.1 million, and $7.2 million in operating expenses at the idled facilities for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015, respectively.

CoreCivic considers the cancellation of a contract as an indicator of impairment and tested each of the idled facilities for impairment when it was notified by the respective customers that they would no longer be utilizing such facility. CoreCivic updates the impairment analyses on an annual basis for each of the idled facilities and evaluates on a quarterly basis market developments for the potential utilization of each of these facilities in order to identify events that may cause CoreCivic to reconsider its most recent assumptions. As a result of CoreCivic's analyses, CoreCivic determined each of the idled facilities to have recoverable values in excess of the corresponding carrying values.

On November 16, 2017, CoreCivic announced that it had entered into a new contract with the Commonwealth of Kentucky Department of Corrections to house medium and close-security offenders at the Company's previously idled 816-bed Lee Adjustment Center in Beattyville, Kentucky. The new management contract commenced on November 19, 2017, and has an initial term expiring June 30, 2019, with two additional one-year extension options. CoreCivic expects to begin receiving offender populations under the new contract at the Lee facility toward the end of the first quarter of 2018, following a 120-day period to staff and prepare the facility to care for the offender population. The Lee facility had a net carrying value of $10.4 million as of December 31, 2017, and had previously been idle since 2015.
