Page 3 AVALON CORRECTIONAL SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Nature of Business - Avalon Correctional Services, Inc. ("Avalon" or the "Company") (formerly Avalon Community Services, Inc.) is an owner and operator of private community correctional services. Avalon specializes in privatized community correctional facilities and intensive correctional programming. Avalon is currently operating in Oklahoma, Texas and Colorado with plans to significantly expand into additional states. Avalon's business strategy is designed to elevate the Company into a dominant provider of community correctional services by expanding its operations through new state and Federal contracts and selective acquisitions. Avalon owns a 250-bed minimum security facility in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; a 252-bed minimum security facility in Tulsa, Oklahoma; a 150-bed adult minimum security facility in Tulsa, Oklahoma; a 150-bed medium security facility in El Paso, Texas; a 300-bed medium security facility in El Paso, Texas; a 160-bed medium security juvenile facility in Union City, Oklahoma; a 135-bed minimum security facility in Henderson, Colorado; and a 300-bed minimum security multi-use facility in Greeley, Colorado. Avalon also operates a 35-bed minimum security facility in Denver, Colorado, and a day reporting center in Northglen, Colorado. The Colorado community corrections programs also provide non-residential services to approximately 800 offenders in the State of Colorado. Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries after elimination of all material intercompany balances and transactions. Use of Estimates - The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires the use of management's estimates and assumptions in determining the carrying values of certain assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts for certain revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimated. Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased and money market funds to be cash equivalents. Concentrations of Credit Risk - Financial instruments potentially subjecting the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of temporary cash investments, accounts receivable and notes receivable. The Company places its temporary cash investments with high credit quality financial institutions and money market funds and limits the amount of credit exposure to any one institution or fund. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are limited due to the fact that a significant portion of the Company's receivables are from state governments. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for potential credit losses. Actual bad debt expenses have not been material. Page 4 Property and Equipment - Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for major additions and improvements are capitalized, while minor replacements, maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When property and equipment is retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in current operations. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: Buildings and Improvements 40 Years Furniture and Equipment 5 to 7 Years Transportation Equipment 3 to 15 Years Impairment losses are recorded on long-lived assets when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amounts. Impairment losses are recognized based upon the estimated fair value of the asset when required. Income Taxes - Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the period in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable for the period and the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Revenue Recognition - The Company recognizes revenues as services are provided. Revenues are earned based upon the number of inmates on a per diem basis at the Company's correctional facilities. Correctional revenues are received monthly from various governmental agencies. Development Costs - Pursuant to Statement of Position 98-5 "Reporting on the Costs of Start Up Activities", the Company expenses development and new facility opening costs as incurred. Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share - Basic income (loss) per share has been computed on the basis of weighted average shares outstanding during each period. Diluted income per share has been computed based on the assumption that all dilutive options and warrants are exercised. Interim Financial Statements - The consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2000 and the statements of operations and cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position as of such date and the results of operations and cash flows for the period then ended. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. The financial statements included herein have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 1999 Form 10-KSB filing. Footnote disclosures which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the most recent annual report on Form 10-KSB have been condensed or omitted. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year ended December 31, 2000. Page 5 NOTE 2. LONG-TERM DEBT Long-term debt consists of the following: September 30, December 31, 2000 1999 __________________________________ Revolving bank line of credit, $316,000 $110,000 collateralized by accounts receivable, with interest at 1% over prime (effective rate of 10.5% at September 30, 2000); due Feb 2004. Notes payable to banks, collateralized by transportation equipment due in installments through March 2012 with interest ranging from 4.90% to 9.49%. 853,000 822,000 Notes payable to banks, collateralized by land, buildings,and improvements due in installments through June 2012 with interest ranging from 8.95% to 11%. 14,858,000 15,448,000 Note payable to an investment company, uncollateralized with interest at 12.5%, due in four installments beginning in 2005, including original issue premium 10,298,000 10,324,000 __________________________________ $26,325,000 $26,704,000 Less - current maturities $1,878,000 $1,150,000 ___________________________________ $24,447,000 $25,554,000 ==================================== The Company completed a senior credit facility with Fleet Capital Corporation on February 25, 1999. The Company utilized existing cash reserves in February 1999 to retire $5,053,000 in existing indebtedness upon the completion of the senior credit facility. The difference between the Company's carrying value of debt and the amounts paid to extinguish the debt resulted in an extraordinary loss of $35,000 recognized in 1999. The senior credit facility has certain financial covenants requiring the Company to maintain certain earnings and financial ratios among other things. The Company completed a $15,000,000 private placement of debt and equity with an investment company on September 16, 1998. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the Company tendered an uncollateralized subordinated note with a face value of $10,000,000 bearing interest of 12.5% with interest payable in quarterly installments until December 31, 2005, when the first of four quarterly principal installments are due. The Company also tendered 1,622,448 shares of redeemable common stock to the investment company. These shares are subject to repurchase by the Company under certain circumstances, or beginning September 16, 2003 at the holders option, at the then current average traded price of the stock. The Company is amortizing the difference between the carrying value and the estimated redemption price of the stock by periodic charges / credits to additional paid-in capital. The financial covenants require the Company, among other things, to maintain certain earnings and debt coverage ratios. The Company obtained an independent fair value appraisal of the debt and equity instruments reflecting a fair value allocation of the debt of $10,365,000 and the fair value allocation of the redeemable common stock of $4,635,000. The original issue premium of $365,000 is being accreted as a reduction of interest expense over the term of the debt instrument. Debt issue costs of $1,654,000 (including $266,000 representing the fair value of warrants issued to financial advisors) have been allocated to the debt and redeemable common stock based upon their fair values. Costs of $511,000 allocated to the redeemable common stock reduced its original book value to $4,124,000. Costs of $1,143,000 allocated to the debt instrument are included in other assets and are being amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt instrument using the effective interest method. Page 6 NOTE 3. CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES The Company completed a private placement of $4,150,000 of convertible debentures on September 12, 1997. The convertible debentures bear interest at 7.5% and mature on September 12, 2007. The convertible debentures may be redeemed by the Company at any time after May, 2000 at 106.5% of principal, declining to 100% at maturity. The convertible debentures are convertible into common stock at $3.00 per share at any time until their maturity. The convertible debenture holders signed agreements to subordinate the debentures to the $10,000,000 face value note issued on September 16, 1998. The Company redeemed $300,000 of convertible debentures at face value in September 1998. NOTE 4. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY The Company issued 200,000 Class D stock purchase warrants in August 1996, in connection with the acquisition of the El Paso Intermediate Sanction Facility. The Class D stock purchase warrants provide for the purchase of the Company's common stock at any time until their expiration at August 2, 2001. The exercise price of the class D warrants is $4.20 per share as of the end of the quarter. The warrants may be redeemed by the Company upon certain events for $.01 per share. The Company issued Class E Warrants to purchase 79,000 shares of Common Stock in September 1997, in connection with the private placement of Convertible Debentures. The Company recognized $148,000 of cost based upon the difference in the exercise price of the Class E warrants and the current market price of the common stock on the date of issuance. This cost was recorded as debenture issue costs and is classified in other assets on the balance sheet. The debenture issue cost is amortized to expense over the term of the convertible debentures. The Class E stock purchase warrants provide for the purchase of the Company's common stock at a price of $3.00 per share at any time until their expiration at August 2, 2001. The warrants may be redeemed by the Company upon certain events for $.01 per share. The Company issued 200,539 stock purchase warrants to financial advisors in September 1998, in connection with the $15,000,000 private placement. The stock purchase warrants provide for the purchase of the Company's common stock at any time until their expiration at September 2002. The exercise price of the warrants is $3.75 per share as of the end of the quarter. The warrants may be redeemed by the Company upon certain events for $.01 per share. The fair value of the warrants was allocated between the proceeds the debt and equity issues as debt issue cost and a reduction in redeemable common stock. A 1994 agreement provided for the issuance of an option to issue 750,000 common stock purchase warrants to purchase common stock at $1.50 per share for each dollar of Company debt guaranteed by the Company's CEO. The warrants will have a five year term from the date of issuance. Management believes that the warrants had no economic value when granted, and accordingly, no amount has been assigned to such warrants in the financial statements. NOTE 5. STOCK OPTION PLAN The Company adopted a stock option plan (the "Plan") providing for the issuance of 250,000 shares of Class A common stock pursuant to both incentive stock options, intended to qualify under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code, and options that do not qualify as incentive stock options ("non-statutory"). The Option Plan was registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission in November 1995. The purpose of the Plan is to provide continuing incentives to the Company's officers, key employees, and members of the Board of Directors. The options generally vest over a four or five-year period with a ten year expiration period. The Company amended its stock option plan on December 1, 1996, increasing the number of shares available under the Plan to 600,000. There are currently outstanding non-statutory options providing for the issuance of 489,280 shares of Class A common stock at exercise prices ranging from $1.50 to $4.25 per share. Options providing for the issuance of 327,210 shares were exercisable at September 30, 2000. Page 7 NOTE 6. LITIGATION The Company is a party to litigation arising in the normal course of business. Management believes that the ultimate outcome of these matters will not have a material effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations. NOTE 7. ACQUISITIONS AND CONTRACT AWARDS The Company acquired the management contract and correctional contracts of Adams Community Corrections Program, Inc. (ACCP) from CSC, Inc. (the Adams County Operations) on April 30, 1999. The purchase price was allocated $1,515,000 to contract rights and $1,450,000 to real estate. The management contract provides for fees, overhead and direct expense reimbursement from ACCP. The revenues and expenses of the contracts subsequent to April 30, 1999 are included in operations of the Company. The Adams County Operations include three facilities, the Phoenix Center, Loft House and Garland Center. The Phoenix Center is a 135-bed halfway house located in Henderson, Colorado. The Loft House is a 35-bed halfway house located in Denver, Colorado. The Garland Center is a day reporting center in Northglenn, Colorado providing services to non-residential offenders. The Company acquired The Villa at Greeley, LLC on June 9, 1999. The Villa at Greeley is a private provider of residential services and programs for community corrections offenders. The Company assumed management and began operating the facility effective June 1, 1999. The Villa at Greeley, LLC provides services to approximately 300 individuals for residential services and also provides day reporting and non- residential services to approximately 560 offenders. The Company also purchased the buildings and land in Greeley, Colorado utilized by the Villa at Greeley, LLC. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, all assets and liabilities existing at June 1, 1999 were excluded from the transaction with the exception of the property, plant, and equipment and contracts with various state and local government agencies and legal rights. The purchase price was allocated $7,100,000 to real estate, $147,000 to property and equipment, $12,000 to other assets, and $1,576,000 to contract rights. NOTE 8. EARNINGS PER SHARE The following table sets forth the computation of income (loss) per share and income (loss) per share assuming dilution.

AND SUBSIDIARIES Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Liquidity and Capital Resources - The Company's business strategy is to focus on the private corrections industry, expanding its operations into additional states through new Federal and state contracts and selective acquisitions. The successful implementation of the Company's growth plan has created the need for additional capital and financing. The Company has been successful in securing $37 million of new capital and credit facilities since September 1997. The Company had approximately $2.5 million of cash and revolving credit available for new projects at September 30, 2000. The Company believes it has adequate cash reserves and cash flow from operations to meet its current cash requirements. The Company expects current contracts to generate sufficient income to increase cash reserves, while minimizing income taxes through the utilization of tax loss carryforwards. The Company secured an $18 million senior credit facility with Fleet Capital Corporation in February 1999. The credit facility with Fleet Capital Corporation was amended in December of 1999 to provide for a credit facility consisting of a $13.5 million term loan and a revolving line of credit equal to the lesser of $3 million or 80% of eligible accounts receivable. Results of Operations - Three Months Ended September 30, 2000 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 1999. Total revenues increased by 15% to $6.08 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000 from $5.30 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999. The increase was a result of overall higher inmate populations. The Company had net income for the three months ended September 30, 2000 of $255,000 or $.05 basic and diluted income per share, as compared to net income for the three months ended September 30, 1999 of $118,000 or $.03 basic and $.02 diluted earnings per share. The Company's significant improvement was the result of overall higher inmate populations. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) increased 26% for the three months ended September 30, 2000 to $1,573,000 compared to $1,246,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1999. The Company's EBITDA increased to 25.9% of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2000 compared to 23.5% of revenues for the three months ended September 30,1999. Corporate. General and administrative expenses increased to $508,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2000 from $309,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1999. General and administrative expenses represented 8.3 % of revenues in the third quarter of 2000 and 5.8% of revenues for the third quarter of 1999. General and administrative expenses increased primarily due to increased staffing for the Company's new contracts and acquisitions. The increase in interest expense of $103,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2000 over the third quarter of 1999 resulted from interest on debt utilized to complete acquisitions and new facilities. Depreciation and amortization expense have increased commensurate with the growth of the correctional operations. Nine Months Ended September 30, 2000 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 1999. Revenues for the first three quarters of 2000 increased 44% to $16.7 million compared to $11.6 million for the same period in 1999. The Company had net income for the nine months ended June 30, 2000 of $699,000 or $.15 basic and diluted income per share, as compared to a net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 of ($17,000) or ($.00) basic and diluted loss per share. The Company's significant improvement was the result of the aforementioned higher inmate populations. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) increased 73% for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 to $4,347,000 compared to $2,518,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. The Company's EBITDA increased to 26% of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared to 22% of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. Page 9 Corporate. General and administrative expenses increased to $1,371,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared to $970,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. General and administrative expenses decreased to 8.2% of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared to 8.4% of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. Interest expense and depreciation and amortization have increased commensurate with the growth of the correctional operations. Page 10 AVALON CORRECTIONAL SERVICES, INC.
