INTRODUCTION TO UNAUDITED
PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
     On August 12, 2010, The GEO Group, Inc., (“GEO” or the “Company”), completed its previously announced acquisition of Cornell Companies Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Cornell”) pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of April 18, 2010 and amended on July 22, 2010 (the “Merger”). Also on August 12, 2010, and in connection with the Merger, GEO paid an aggregate of $181.9 million to settle Cornell’s debt obligations, including accrued interest, under its 10.75% Senior Notes due July 2012 and its Revolving Line of Credit due December 2011 (“Cornell’s debt”). Subsequent to the Merger, $108.3 million of Cornell non-recourse debt related to its variable interest entity, remained outstanding. GEO financed the repayment of Cornell’s debt obligations through borrowings under its new $750 million senior credit facility (the “Credit Agreement”, executed on August 4, 2010, which consists of a $150 million Term Loan A, a $200 million Term Loan B and a $400 million Revolving Credit Facility).
     The following Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet presents the combined financial positions of GEO as of July 4, 2010 and of Cornell as of June 30, 2010, on a pro forma basis, after giving effect to the Merger and the Refinancing as if such transactions had occurred on July 4, 2010. The following Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Income present the combined results of operations of GEO for the twenty-six weeks ended July 4, 2010 and for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2010, and of Cornell for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and for the year ended December 31, 2009, on a pro forma basis, after giving effect to the Merger and the Refinancing of Cornell’s debt as if such transactions had occurred as of December 29, 2008, the beginning of GEO’s fiscal year ended January 3, 2010.
     Under the acquisition method of accounting, as of August 12, 2010, the effective time of the merger, the assets acquired, including the identifiable intangible assets, and liabilities assumed from Cornell are recorded at their respective estimated fair values and added to those of GEO. The excess of the purchase price over the preliminary fair value of Cornell’s net assets assumed has been recorded as goodwill. The estimated fair values of certain assets and liabilities are being established by management with the assistance of third party valuation specialists and those preliminary values are reflected in the pro forma financial statements. In order to establish the purchase price allocation, the Company made significant judgments to determine the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as the assets’ useful lives. The finalization of the Company’s acquisition accounting assessment may result in changes in the valuation of assets and liabilities acquired which may be material. The pending inputs to establish the preliminary purchase price allocation are as follows:
    Accounts Receivable – pending finalization of fair value of accounts receivable
 
    Property, plant and equipment – finalization of valuation efforts to determine the fair value and finalize the remaining estimated useful lives
 
    Intangible assets – finalization of valuation efforts for acquired intangible assets
 
    Goodwill – pending finalization of the purchase price allocation including valuation of the items discussed herein as well as deferred income taxes
 
    Out of market lease assets and liabilities – pending finalization of valuation efforts related to assumed commitments under operating leases
 
    Insurance reserves – pending final actuarial study related to insurance reserves
 
    Noncontrolling interest – pending finalization valuation of noncontrolling interest in Municipal Correctional Finance, LP
 
    Deferred income taxes – pending finalization of purchase price allocation and assessment of deferred items
 
    Pre-acquisition contingencies – pending review evaluation of pre-acquisition contingencies that may exist at the acquisition date
     The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements do not give effect to any anticipated synergies, operating efficiencies or costs savings that may be associated with the transaction. Additional costs, not included in the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements, will likely be incurred for items such as systems integration and conversion, change in control and other employee benefits, lease termination and/ or modification costs, and training costs. These financial statements also do not include any integration costs the companies may incur related to the merger as part of combining the operations of the companies. While some of these costs of integration were incurred prior to the effective time of the merger, a substantial portion of the remainder of these costs will be incurred over the year following the merger. In general, these costs will be recorded as expenses when incurred and are non-recurring, and, therefore, are not reflected in the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements.
     The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements have been prepared by GEO based on the historical financial statements of GEO and Cornell to illustrate the effects of the combined company. The pro forma adjustments are for illustrative and informational purposes only and are not intended to represent, or be indicative, of what GEO’s results of operations or financial position would have been had the acquisition been in effect during the periods presented. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with (i) GEO’s historical consolidated financial statements for the twenty-six weeks ended July 4, 2010 and for the year ended January 3, 2010 and the accompanying notes thereto and (ii) Cornell’s historical consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and for the year ended December 31, 2009 and the accompanying notes thereto. The effective date of the merger between GEO and Cornell is assumed to be July 4, 2010 for purposes of preparing the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet. GEO’s financial reporting period ends on the Sunday closest to the calendar month-end while Cornell’s financial reporting period ends at the calendar month-end. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements do not make any adjustments with respect to the difference in reporting dates as these differences would not be significant.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA
CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Basis of Presentation
     The Merger is accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. The assets and liabilities of Cornell have been measured at fair value based on various assumptions that the Company’s management believes are reasonable utilizing information available to date and, where indicated, the assistance of third party valuation specialists. The process for measuring the fair values of identifiable intangible assets and certain tangible assets requires the use of significant assumptions, including future cash flows and appropriate discount rates. The excess of the purchase price (consideration transferred) over the amount of identifiable assets and liabilities of Cornell was allocated to goodwill. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). Market participants are buyers and sellers in the principal (most advantageous) market for the asset or liability. Additionally, fair value measurements for an asset assume the highest and best use of that asset by market participants.
2. Summary of Business Operations and Significant Accounting Policies
     The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements have been prepared in a manner consistent with the accounting policies adopted by the Company. The accounting policies followed for financial reporting on a pro forma basis are the same as those disclosed in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 22, 2010 for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2010. The Company has not identified any significant differences in the accounting policies of the two companies, however, if such differences are identified, they may have a material impact on the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements.
3. Description of the Transaction
     On August 12, 2010, The GEO Group, Inc. (“GEO”) completed its previously announced acquisition of Cornell Companies, Inc. (“Cornell”), a Delaware corporation, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 18, 2010 as amended on July 22, 2010 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among GEO, GEO Acquisition III, Inc., a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of GEO (“Merger Sub”), and Cornell. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Cornell (the “Merger”), with Cornell being the surviving corporation of the Merger.
     The strategic benefits of merger include the combined company’s increased scale and the diversification of service offerings. These key strategic benefits will allow the Company to better capitalize on attractive business opportunities, provide more services to its customers, mitigate business segment risk and result in a more diverse revenue base.
4. Acquisition Consideration
     As a result of the Merger, for each share of Cornell common stock, Cornell stockholders had the option to elect to receive: (i) 1.3 shares of common stock of GEO, par value $.01 per share, for each share of Cornell common stock; or (ii) the right to receive cash consideration equal to the greater of (x) the fair market value, as defined in the Merger Agreement, of one share of GEO common stock plus $6.00 or (y) the fair market value, as defined in the Merger Agreement, of 1.3 shares of GEO common stock. The fair market value of GEO common stock for determining the cash consideration to be received in the merger for each share of Cornell common stock is $21.58, which was calculated based upon the average closing price of GEO common stock on the ten trading days between July 15, 2010 and July 28, 2010. Therefore, the cash consideration is $28.054 for each share of Cornell common stock. In order to preserve the tax-deferred treatment of the transaction, no more than 20% of the outstanding shares of Cornell common stock may be exchanged for the cash consideration.
     Based on the effective date of the Merger of August 12, 2010, the total purchase price payable to Cornell stockholders was: (i) 15.8 million shares of GEO common stock; and (ii) $266.8 million in cash, including $181.9 million relative to the payoff of Cornell’s debt. Subsequent to the Merger, $108.3 million of Cornell non-recourse debt related to Cornell’s variable interest entity, remained outstanding. GEO financed the cash consideration, the continuation of Cornell debt and the repayment of Cornell debt through borrowings under GEO’s Credit Agreement. Also pursuant to the Merger Agreement, all awards of options issued under the Cornell Companies, Inc. Amended and Restated 2006 Incentive Plan (“Cornell’s Plan”) which were outstanding and unexercised immediately following the effective time of the merger and which did not, by their terms, terminate on the effective time of the merger, whether vested or unvested, ceased to represent a right to purchase shares of common stock of Cornell. At the time of the merger, there were 27,500 unexercised options in Cornell’s Plan that became fully vested on the change in control. These fully vested, outstanding and unexercised awards were exchanged for the rights to purchase 1.3 shares of GEO’s common stock within 90 days of August 12, 2010. Included in the purchase price consideration below is the estimated fair value of the 35,750 stock option awards exchanged in the Merger.

Cash consideration:
       
Cash paid in exchange for 3,024,409 shares of Cornell stock
  $ 84,854 (1)
Cash repayment of Cornell’s outstanding debt, including $6.2 million of accrued interest
    185,242 (2)
 
     
Total pro forma cash consideration
    270,096  
 
     
 
       
Equity consideration:
       
Value of 15,763,638 shares GEO common stock based on the closing price as of August 12, 2010, exchanged for 12,126,136 shares of Cornell stock
    357,835

Total pro forma consideration
  $ 628,172 (2)
 
     
 
(1)   The cash consideration includes payment for GEO fractional share interests resulting from the share exchange. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Cornell stockholders received a total of approximately seven thousand dollars in lieu of 338.8 aggregate fractional share interests based on the $21.56 closing price of GEO common stock on August 11, 2010 (the last trading day prior to the closing of the transaction).
 
(2)   The pro forma cash consideration in exchange for the repayment of debt is calculated as if the transaction was effective July 4, 2010. The actual amount repaid on August 12, 2010 relative to the outstanding balances of Cornell’s Revolving Line of Credit due December 2011 and the redemption of the Senior Notes due July 2012 was $181.9 million in aggregate including accrued interest of $2.5 million. The total purchase price consideration on August 12, 2010 was $624.8 million.
5. Reclassifications
     As demonstrated in the accompanying Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements, certain reclassifications have been made to GEO’s and Cornell’s historical consolidated financial statements for the purpose of presenting the combined company:
    Cornell’s Bond fund payment account and other restricted assets and Cornell’s Debt service reserve fund and other restricted assets have been included with Restricted cash and investments in the accompanying Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet,
 
    Cornell’s Other receivables have been classified as Other current assets in the accompanying Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet,
 
    GEO’s accounts payable, accrued expenses and payroll and related taxes have been combined on a single line in the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet,
 
    Cornell’s capital leases have been reclassified from Long-Term Debt to the financial statement line item on GEO’s historical financial statements for Capital Lease Obligations,
 
    Cornell’s 8.47% Bonds due 2016, which represent debt of special purpose entities, have been reclassified to Non-Recourse Debt since these bonds are not guaranteed by Cornell and are non-recourse to Cornell’s consolidated special purpose entity, Municipal Corrections Finance, L.P., and
 
    Cornell’s pre-opening and start up expenses for the year ended December 31, 2009 have been reclassified in the accompanying Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Income as Operating Expenses in order to be comparable to GEO’s historical Statements of Income.

6. Pro Forma and Acquisition Accounting Adjustments
(A)   The pro forma cash balance reflects a decrease in cash of $270.1 million related to the cash consideration exchanged in the Merger. This decrease of $270.1 million is entirely offset by the assumed proceeds GEO received from borrowings under its Credit Agreement which was in effect at the acquisition date.

  (ii)   This adjustment to pro forma retained earnings represents nonrecurring charges, approximately 50% of which GEO expects to be non-deductible for federal income tax purposes, resulting directly from the transaction. These charges were not considered in the pro forma condensed combined statement of income.
(L)   This adjustment represents the elimination of Cornell’s noncontrolling interest and the recording of the fair value of the noncontrolling interest as of the acquisition date. GEO assumed Cornell’s noncontrolling interest in Municipal Correctional Finance, LP (“MCF”) as a result of the Merger and consolidates this entity as a result. The fair value of MCF was determined using the work of third party specialists and the pro forma adjustments are presented below (in ‘000’s):

(M)   Pro forma revenues reflect the elimination of $0.9 million of rental income and a corresponding elimination of $(0.9) million in rental expense for the twenty-six weeks ended July 4, 2010. For the year ended January 3, 2010, this elimination was $1.7 million of rental income and $(1.7) million rental expense. This elimination is related to a facility currently owned by GEO and leased to Cornell for which each respective party has included rental income and expense in the respective historical financial statements. Refer to Note (N).
 
(N)   The following pro forma adjustments have been made to the accompanying statements of income (in 000’s):
                 
    Twenty-six weeks ended     Fiscal year ended  
    July 4, 2010     January 4, 2010

(O)   Pro forma depreciation and amortization for the twenty-six weeks ended July 4, 2010 and for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2010 reflects increases of $2.9 million and $6.1 million, respectively. The primary increase relates to amortization expense for the intangible assets associated with acquired facility management contracts and non-compete agreements for Cornell executives. Pro forma depreciation and amortization is as follows (in ‘000’s):

  $ 2,853     $ 6,122  
 
           
(P)   For the purposes of the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements, the incremental interest expense on the Cornell debt was determined using the interest rates under the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“Senior Credit Facility”). As indicated in the table below, pro forma interest expense reflects a net decrease in interest expense as a result of anticipated incremental interest savings to GEO after (i) the repayment of Cornell’s debt using proceeds from GEO’s Senior Credit Facility, (ii) increases in GEO’s interest expense incurred on the additional borrowings related to the cash consideration for Cornell’s common stock, and (iii) the amortization of the $3.8 million of financing fees which resulted from incremental debt. For debt that incurs interest at a variable rate, GEO used the average variable rate that its debt incurred over the twenty-six weeks ended July 4, 2010 and the fiscal year ended January 3, 2010, respectively. The interest rate applied to the historical outstanding Revolver borrowings under GEO’s Senior Credit Facility would have increased by 1.13% and 1.27% as for the twenty-six weeks ended July 4, 2010 and for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2010 based on the outstanding pro forma borrowings. This pro forma rate increase has been reflected in the pro forma expense. Refer to the table below for the estimated pro forma adjustment to interest expense (in ‘000’s):

  $ (6,405 )   $ (12,813 )
Interest expense on the average outstanding Revolver borrowings of $68.3 million and $73.4 million, respectively at weighted average interest rates of approximately 2.84% and 3.55%, respectively
    (970 )     (2,604 )
 
               
Interest expense on the average outstanding nonrecourse debt of $121.7 million and $129.1 million, respectively at an interest rate of 8.47%
    (5,226 )     (11,144 )
Pro forma interest expense incurred by GEO on Cornell’s debt:
               
 
               
Increase in GEO’s interest expense related to incremental debt of $84.9 million in cash consideration and assumed incremental average outstanding borrowings of $180.7 million and $184.5 million, respectively, related to the financing of Cornell’s debt repayment using capacity under GEO’s Credit Agreement at weighted average interest rates of 2.769% and 2.893%, respectively
    3,852       8,303

Pro forma decrease to interest expense
  $ (2,885 )   $ (5,835 )
 
           
 
  (1)   For the purposes of the pro forma financial information, the cost to transfer Cornell’s non-recourse debt in an orderly transaction between market participants (fair value as defined by GAAP) would have resulted in a discount on the non-recourse debt as revalued on December 28, 2008 and would have resulted in a premium as revalued on January 4, 2010. As of December 29, 2009, the discount was $3.8 million using an effective interest rate of 9.28% and as of January 4, 2010, the premium was $14.9 million using an effective interest rate of 4.95%. On August 12, 2010, the premium was $14.7 million using an effective interest rate of 4.53%.
 
  (Q)   The Provision for income taxes has been calculated using GEO’s statutory tax rate of 35%.
