The accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements are an integral part of these statements. Page 5 of 17 6 WACKENHUT CORRECTIONS CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The accounting policies followed for quarterly financial reporting are the same as those disclosed in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company's Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 26, 2001 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with current year financial statement presentation. The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.133 ("SFAS 133"), "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", as amended by SFAS No.137 and 138, on January 1, 2001. The 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 133 requires that changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. The Company's 50% owned equity affiliate operating in the United Kingdom has entered into interest rate swaps to fix the interest rate it receives on its variable rate credit facility. Management of the Company has determined the swaps to be effective cash flow hedges. Accordingly, the Company recorded its share of the affiliate's change in other comprehensive income as a result of applying SFAS 133. The adoption of SFAS 133 resulted in approximately a $14 million reduction in shareholders' equity in the Company's financial statements for the quarter ended April 1, 2001. 2.

EARNINGS PER SHARE (CONTINUED) Options to purchase 889,500 shares of the Company's common stock, with exercise prices ranging from $9.30 to $26.88 per share and expiration dates between 2005 and 2011, were outstanding at April 1, 2001, but were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because their effect would be anti-dilutive if exercised. At April 2, 2000, outstanding options to purchase 766,200 shares of the Company's common stock, with exercise prices ranging from $11.88 to $26.88 and expiration dates between 2005 and 2009, were also excluded from the computation of diluted EPS because their effect would be anti-dilutive if exercised. 5. LONG-TERM DEBT In December 1997, the Company entered into a five-year, $30.0 million multi-currency revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks, the proceeds of which may be used for working capital, acquisitions and general corporate purposes. The credit facility also includes a letter of credit facility of up to $5.0 million for the issuance of standby letters of credit. Indebtedness under this facility bears interest at the alternate base rate (defined as the higher of prime rate or federal funds plus 0.5%) or LIBOR plus 150 to 250 basis points, depending upon fixed charge coverage ratios. At April 1, 2001, the interest rate for this facility was 6.7%. The facility requires the Company to, among other things, maintain a maximum leverage ratio; minimum fixed charge coverage ratio; and a minimum tangible net worth. The facility also limits certain payments and distributions. At April 1, 2001, $5.0 million was outstanding under this facility. In addition, at April 1, 2001, the Company had six standby letters of credit in an aggregate amount of approximately $2.8 million. Availability related to these instruments at April 1, 2001 was $25.0 million. At April 1, 2001, the Company also had twelve letters of guarantee totaling approximately $12.8 million under separate international facilities. 6. COMMON SHARES REPURCHASED AND RETIRED On February 18, 2000, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 500,000 shares of its common stock, in addition to the 1,000,000 shares previously authorized for repurchase. As of April 1, 2001, the Company had repurchased and retired a total of 1,378,000 of the 1,500,000 common shares authorized for repurchase at an average price per share of $15.77. 7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES In December 1999, a Travis County, Texas grand jury indicted twelve of the Company's former facility employees for various types of sexual misconduct. Management believes these indictments are not expected to have any material financial impact on the Company. Eleven of the twelve indicted former employees already resigned from or had been terminated by the Company as a result of Company-initiated investigations over the course of the prior three years. The Company is not providing counsel to assist in the defense of these twelve individuals. The District Attorney in Travis County continues to review Company documents at the Travis County Facility. At this time the Company cannot predict the outcome of this investigation. Page 9 of 17 10 WACKENHUT CORRECTIONS CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED) During the third quarter of 2000, the Company recorded an operating charge of $3.8 million ($2.3 million after tax) for the 276-bed Jena Juvenile Justice Center in Jena, Louisiana. The charge represented the expected losses to be incurred on the lease with Correctional Properties Trust ("CPV"), including lease costs and property taxes. Management estimates that the facility will remain inactive through the end of 2001. The Company is continuing its efforts to sublease or find an alternative correctional use for the facility. If the Company is unable to sublease or find an alternative correctional use for the facility by the end of 2001, there would be an adverse impact on the Company's financial position, future results of operations and future cash flows. Page 10 of 17 11 WACKENHUT CORRECTIONS CORPORATION ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FINANCIAL CONDITION Reference is made to Part II, Item 7 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 26, 2001, for further discussion and analysis of information pertaining to the Company's results of operations, liquidity and capital resources. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS: The management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations and the May 3, 2001 press release announcing earnings contain forward-looking statements that are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about the industry in which the Company operates. This section of the quarterly report also includes beliefs and assumptions made by management. Words such as "expects", "anticipates", "intends", "plans", "believes", "seeks", "estimates", and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions ("Future Factors") which are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Future Factors include, but are not limited to, (1) the Company's ability to timely open facilities as planned, profitably manage such facilities and successfully integrate such facilities into the Company without substantial costs; (2) the instability of foreign exchange rates, exposing the Company to currency risks in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and the United Kingdom; (3) an increase in unreimbursed labor rates; (4) the Company's ability to expand correctional services and diversify its services in the mental health services market; (5) the Company's ability to win management contracts for which it has submitted proposals and to retain existing management contracts; (6) the Company's ability to raise capital given the short-term nature of the customers' commitment to the use of the Company's facilities; (7) the Company's ability to expand its core capabilities pursuant to its organizational restructuring program implemented in 2000; (8) the Company's ability to lease or sell the Jena Louisiana Facility; (9) the Company's ability to timely terminate services with the Arkansas Department of Correction without substantial costs; (10) the Company's ability to project the size and growth of the U.S. privatized corrections industry; (11) the Company's ability to estimate the government's level of dependency on privatization; (12) the Company's ability to create long-term earnings visibility; (13) the Company's ability to obtain future low-interest financing; and (14) other future factors including, but not limited to, increasing price and product/service competition by foreign and domestic competitors, including new entrants; rapid technological developments and changes; the ability to continue to introduce competitive new products and services on a timely, cost effective basis; the mix of products/services; the achievement of lower costs and expenses; domestic and foreign governmental and public policy changes including environmental regulations; protection and validity of patent and other intellectual property rights; reliance on large customers; technological, implementation and cost/financial risks in increasing use of large, multi-year contracts; the outcome of pending and future litigation and governmental proceedings and continued availability of financing; financial instruments and financial resources in the amounts, at the times and on the terms required to support the Company's future business and other factors contained in the Company's Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including the prospectus dated January 23, 1996, and its current Form 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K reports. Page 11 of 17 12 WACKENHUT CORRECTIONS CORPORATION LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company's principal sources of liquidity are from operations, borrowings under its credit facilities, and sale of its right to acquire prison facilities. Cash and cash equivalents as of April 1, 2001 were $24.1 million, a decrease of $9.7 million from December 31, 2000. Cash used in operating activities amounted to $0.8 million in the thirteen weeks ended April 1, 2001 ("First Quarter 2001") versus cash used in operating activities of $4.6 million in the thirteen weeks ended April 2, 2000 ("First Quarter 2000") primarily reflecting lower balances in accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued expenses. Cash used in investing activities decreased by $8.9 million in the First Quarter 2001 as compared to First Quarter 2000. The decrease was primarily the result of lower capital expenditures. The First Quarter 2000 included expenditures for the construction of the San Diego facility. Cash used in financing activities was $5.0 million in the First Quarter 2001 as compared to cash provided by financing activities of $1.8 million in First Quarter 2000. The change was primarily due to the payment of $5.0 million of long-term debt. Working capital decreased from $56.0 million at December 31, 2000 to $50.7 million at April 1, 2001 primarily due to the decrease in cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable offset by a decrease in accounts payable. As of April 1, 2001, the Company has operating leases utilizing approximately $154.3 million of the Company's $220 million operating lease facility. The Company has $5.0 million outstanding of its $30 million multi-currency revolving credit facility. This facility may also fund new project development. The Company's access to capital and ability to compete for future capital intensive projects is dependent upon, among other things, its ability to meet certain financial covenants included in the $220 million operating lease facility and the Company's $30 million revolving credit facility. A substantial decline in the Company's financial performance as a result of an increase in operational expenses relative to revenue could negatively impact the Company's ability to meet these covenants, and could therefore, limit the Company's access to capital. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto. COMPARISON OF THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED APRIL 1, 2001 AND THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED APRIL 2, 2000 Revenues increased by 3.4% to $135.0 million in the thirteen weeks ended April 1, 2001 from $130.5 million in the thirteen weeks ended April 2, 2000. Approximately $12.8 million of the increase in revenues in First Quarter 2001 compared to First Quarter 2000 is attributable to increased compensated resident days resulting from the opening of two facilities in 2000 (Auckland Central Page 12 of 17 13 WACKENHUT CORRECTIONS CORPORATION Remand Prison, Auckland, New Zealand in July 2000 and the Western Region Detention Facility at San Diego, San Diego, California in July, 2000) and the opening of two facilities in 2001 (Val Verde Correctional Facility, Del Rio, Texas in January 2001 and the Rivers Correctional Institution, Winton, North Carolina in March 2001). Revenues decreased by approximately $7.1 million in the First Quarter 2001 compared to First Quarter 2000 due to the substantial completion of construction of South Florida State Hospital. Revenues also decreased by approximately $1.7 million in First Quarter 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000 due to the cessation of operations at the Jena Juvenile Justice Center. The balance of the increase in revenues was attributable to facilities open during all of both periods and increases in per diem rates. The number of compensated resident days in domestic facilities increased to 2,295,225 in First Quarter 2001 from 2,165,872 in First Quarter 2000. The average facility occupancy in domestic facilities was 96.9% of capacity in First Quarter 2001 compared to 97.3% in First Quarter 2000. Compensated resident days in Australian facilities decreased to 449,999 from 486,346 for the comparable periods primarily due to lower compensated resident days at the immigration detention facilities. Operating expenses increased by 6.3% to $124.1 million in First Quarter 2001 compared to $116.7 million in First Quarter 2000. As a percentage of revenue, operating expenses increased to 91.9% in First Quarter 2001 from 89.4% in the comparable period in 2000. This increase primarily reflects $3.5 million in start-up costs related to the opening of the Val Verde, Texas and Winton, North Carolina facilities as well as a full quarter's operating expenses for the two facilities opened in 2000. Additionally, there are secondary factors contributing to the increase including expenses related to construction activities and increases in general and comprehensive liability insurance premiums. The Company continues to incur increasing insurance costs due to adverse claims experience. The Company is implementing a strategy to improve the management of future loss claims incurred by the Company but can provide no assurances that this strategy will be successful. Unanticipated additional insurance costs could adversely impact the Company's Fiscal 2001 results of operations.
