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 20, 2003 for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2002. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with current period financial statement presentation.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” SFAS No. 149 amends and clarifies accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133. In particular, this statement clarifies under what circumstances a contract with an initial net investment meets the characteristic of a derivative and when a derivative contains a financing component that warrants special reporting in the statement of cash flows. This statement is generally effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. This statement is a forward-looking statement within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Act. See “Forward-Looking Statements” on page 16.

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liability and Equity”. SFAS No. 150 provides that certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liability and equity to be classified as a liability. The statement is effective July 1, 2003 for existing financial instruments and May 31, 2003 for new or modified financial instruments. The Company does not have financial instruments that qualify under this statement.

In January 2003, the FASB issued FIN No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,” which addresses consolidation by a business of variable interest entities in which it is the primary beneficiary. FIN No. 46 is effective immediately for certain disclosure requirements and variable interest entities created after January 1, 2003, and in the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003 for all other variable interest entities. The Company is currently in the process of determining the effects, if any, on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows that will result from the adoption of FIN No. 46.

2.		ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123.” SFAS No. 148 amends FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS No. 148 amends the disclosure requirements of Statements No. 123 and APB Opinion No. 28, “Interim Financial Reporting” to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. Currently, the Company accounts for stock option plans under the intrinsic value method APB Opinion No. 25. The Company does not intend to change its policy with regard to its method of accounting for stock based compensation and there was no impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows upon adoption of SFAS No. 148.

No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted under the Company’s plans had an exercise price equal to market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. Had the Company applied the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123 to all awards, the Company’s net income and earnings per share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts as follows:


		Thirteen		Thirteen		Twenty-six		Twenty-six
		Weeks Ended		Weeks Ended		Weeks Ended		Weeks Ended
(In thousands, except per share data)		June 29, 2003		June 30, 2002		June 29, 2003		June 30, 2002

Net income:
	As reported	$	6,299	$	5,405	$	11,471	$	10,588
	Deduct: Total stock-based employee compensation expense determined under fair value based method for all awards, net of related tax effects		323		26		396		933
	Pro forma		5,976		5,379		11,075		9,655
Basic earnings per share:
	As reported	$	0.30	$	0.26	$	0.54	$	0.50
	Pro forma		0.28		0.26		0.52		0.46

	As reported	$	0.29	$	0.25	$	0.54	$	0.50
	Pro forma		0.28		0.25		0.52		0.45

For purposes of the pro forma calculations, the fair value of each option is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, assuming no expected dividends and the following assumptions:


	Stock options granted during the
	Thirteen and Twenty-six Weeks ended

3.		DOMESTIC AND INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

The Company’s former equity affiliate in the United Kingdom had entered into interest rate swaps to fix the interest rate which it received on its variable rate credit facility. Management of the Company had determined the swaps to be effective cash flow hedges. Accordingly, the Company recorded its share of the affiliates’ change in other comprehensive income. The swaps fair value approximated $12.4 million, net of tax, and $11.9 million, net of tax, at June 29, 2003 and December 29, 2002, respectively, and are reflected as a component of other comprehensive loss in the Company’s financial statements.

6.		SHARE REPURCHASE FROM GROUP 4 FALCK A/S

On July 9, 2003, the Company repurchased all 12 million shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 (the “Common Stock”), beneficially owned by Group 4 Falck A/S (“Group 4 Falck”), the Company’s former 57% majority shareholder, for $132 million in cash pursuant to the terms of a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Share Purchase Agreement”), dated April 30, 2003, by and among the Company, Group 4 Falck, The Wackenhut Corporation, the Company’s former parent company (“TWC”) and Tuhnekcaw, Inc., an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Group 4 Falck (“Tuhnekcaw”) (the “Transaction”).

The Transaction was negotiated by a special committee comprised of independent members of the Company’s board of directors and approved by the independent directors on the Company’s board. The special committee retained independent legal and financial advisors to assist it in the evaluation of the Transaction. The special committee received a fairness opinion from Legg Mason, its independent financial advisor, stating that the consideration being paid in connection with the Transaction was fair from a financial point of view to the shareholders of the Company other than Group 4 Falck and its affiliates.

Under the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement, Group 4 Falck, TWC and Tuhnekcaw cannot, and cannot permit any of their subsidiaries to, acquire beneficial ownership of any voting securities of the Company during a one-year standstill period following the closing of the Transaction. Immediately following the completion of the Transaction, the Company had 9,299,252 million shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding.

Upon closing of the Transaction, an agreement dated March 7, 2002 by and among the Company, Group 4 Falck and TWC, which governed certain aspects of the parties’ relationship, was terminated and the two Group 4 Falck representatives serving on the Company’s board of directors resigned. Also terminated upon the closing of the Transaction was a March 7, 2002 agreement between the Company and Group 4 Falck wherein Group 4 Falck agreed to reimburse the Company for up to 10% of the fair market value of the Company’s interest in its UK joint venture in the event the Company was required to sell its interest in the joint venture to its partner, Serco.

In addition, the Services Agreement (the “Services Agreement”), dated October 28, 2002, between the Company and TWC, will be terminated effective December 31, 2003, and no further payments for periods thereafter will be due from the Company to Group 4 Falck under the Services Agreement. Pursuant to the Services Agreement, Group 4 Falck was scheduled to provide the Company with information systems related services through December 31, 2004. The Company will handle those services internally beginning January 1, 2004.

The sublease between TWC, as sublessor, and the Company, as sublessee, also terminated ten days after closing of the Transaction. The sublease, which covered the Company’s former corporate headquarters, was set to expire in 2011. The Company relocated its corporate headquarters to Boca Raton, Florida on April 14, 2003.

7.		LONG-TERM DEBT

To facilitate the completion of the Transaction in July 2003, the Company amended its senior secured credit facility and issued $150 million, aggregate principal amount, ten-year, 8 1/4% Senior Unsecured Notes (the “Notes”) in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A of the Securities Act.

The Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility (the “Amended Senior Credit Facility”) consists of a $50 million, 5-year revolving loan (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) and a $100 million, 6-year term loan (the “Term Loan Facility”).

The Revolving Credit Facility contains a $40 million limit for the issuance of standby letters of credit. At July 9, 2003, $100 million was outstanding under the Term Loan Facility, there were no borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, and there was $25.4 million outstanding letters of credit.

Indebtedness under the Revolving Credit Facility bears interest at the Company’s option at the base rate (defined as the higher of the prime rate or federal funds plus 0.5%) plus a spread of 125 to 200 basis points or LIBOR plus 250 to 325 basis points, depending on the leverage ratio. Indebtedness under the Term Loan Facility bears interest at LIBOR + 300 basis points.

Obligations under the Amended Senior Credit Facility are guaranteed by the Company’s material domestic subsidiaries and are secured by substantially all of the Company’s tangible and intangible assets.

The Amended Senior Credit Facility includes covenants that require the Company, among other things, to maintain a maximum leverage ratio, a minimum fixed charge ratio, a minimum net worth, and to limit the amount of its annual capital expenditures. The facility also limits certain payments and distributions to the Company as well as the Company’s ability to enter into certain types of transactions.

The Notes are general, unsecured, senior obligations of the Company. Interest is payable semi-annually on January 15 and July 15 at 8.25%, beginning on January 15, 2004. The Notes are governed by the terms of an Indenture, dated July 9, 2003, between the Company and the Bank of New York, as trustee (the “Indenture”).

Under the terms of the Indenture, at any time on or prior to July 15, 2006, the Company may redeem up to 35% of the Notes with the proceeds from equity offerings at 108.25% of the principal amount to be redeemed plus the payment of accrued and unpaid interest, and any applicable liquidated damages. Additionally, after July 15, 2008, the Company may redeem, at its option, all or a portion of the Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest at various redemption prices ranging from 104.125% to 100.000% of the principal amount to be redeemed, depending on when the redemption occurs.

The Indenture contains covenants that limit the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends or distributions on its Common Stock, repurchase its Common Stock, or prepay subordinated indebtedness. The Indenture also limits the Company’s ability to issue preferred stock, make certain investments, make certain types of investments, merge or consolidate with another company, guarantee other indebtedness, create liens and transfer and sell assets.

7.		LONG-TERM DEBT (CONTINUED)

The Company has filed a registration statement on Form S-4 (the “Registration Statement”) to register under the Securities Act exchange notes (the “Exchange Notes”) having substantially identical terms as the Notes. Currently, the Notes are primarily tradeable only pursuant to Rule 144A of the Securities Act. Upon the effectiveness of the Registration Statement under the Securities Act, the Company will commence an exchange offer in which holders of the Notes will be able to exchange the Notes for Exchange Notes which will generally be freely tradeable, subject to certain exceptions.

At June 29, 2003, the Company had outstanding eleven letters of guarantee totaling approximately $6.4 million under separate international facilities.

The Company’s wholly-owned Australian subsidiary financed the development of a facility with long-term debt obligations, which are non-recourse to the Company. The term of the non-recourse debt is through 2017 and the debt bears interest at a variable rate quoted by certain Australian banks plus 140 basis points. Any obligations or liabilities of the subsidiary are matched by a similar or corresponding commitment from the government of the State of Victoria. In connection with the non-recourse debt, the subsidiary is a party to an interest rate swap agreement to fix the interest rate on the variable rate non-recourse debt at 9.7%. The swap is recorded in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as an effective cash flow hedge and the Company records changes in the value of the swap as a component of other comprehensive income in the condensed consolidated financial statements, net of applicable income taxes. The total value of the swap liability as of June 29, 2003 and December 29, 2002 was $5.9 million and $5.6 million, respectively and is recorded as a component of other liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.


8.		COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

CONTRACTS

On June 30, 2003, the Company’s contract with the California Department of Corrections for the management of the 224-bed McFarland Community Corrections Center expired. The Company has received a letter from the California Department of Corrections confirming the Department’s intention to issue a six-month contract extension through December 31, 2003. The Company continues to operate the facility, and the state continues to utilize the facility, but the Company has not received any payment for services rendered after June 30, 2003. Management believes that a contract extension will ultimately be entered into and that the Company will be compensated for services provided after June 30, 2003. However, there can be no assurance that a contract extension will be finalized. If the contract is not extended, the Company may not be reimbursed for its fees related to the operation of the McFarland facility after June 30, 2003. During the twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2003, the contract for the McFarland facility represented less than 1% of the Company’s revenue. In addition, the McFarland facility is currently in the fifth year of a ten-year non-cancelable operating lease with Correctional Properties Trust (“CPV”). In the event the Company is unable to extend the contract or find an alternative use for the McFarland facility, the Company may be required to record an operating charge related to a portion of the future lease costs with CPV in accordance with SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.” The remaining lease obligation is approximately $5 million through April 28, 2008.

8.		COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED)

During 2000, the Company’s management contract at the 276-bed Jena Juvenile Justice Center in Jena, Louisiana (the “Facility”) was terminated by the mutual agreement of the parties. The Company incurred an operating charge of $1.1 million during fiscal 2002, related to the Company’s lease of the inactive Facility. The Company is continuing its efforts to find an alternative correctional use or sublease for the Facility and believes that it will be successful prior to early 2004. The Company has reserved for the lease payments through early 2004 and management believes the reserve balance currently established for anticipated future losses under the lease with CPV is sufficient to cover costs under the lease until a sublease is in place or an alternative future use is established. There can, however, be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its efforts to lease or find an alternative use for the facility prior to early 2004. If the Company is unable to sublease or find an alternative correctional use for the Facility by early 2004, an additional operating charge will be required in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3, “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity.” The remaining obligation on the Facility lease through the contractual term of 2008, exclusive of the reserve losses through early 2004, is approximately $11 million.

In Australia, the Department of Immigration, Multicultural and Indigenous Affairs (“DIMIA”) announced its intention to enter into contract negotiations with a division of Group 4 Falck for the management and operation of Australia’s immigration centers, services which the Company has provided since 1997 through its Australian subsidiary. DIMIA has further stated that if it is unable to reach agreement with the announced preferred bidder, it may enter into negotiations with our Australian subsidiary. The Company is continuing to operate the centers under its current contract, which was to expire on or before June 23, 2003 but was extended through December 23, 2003, unless terminated earlier if DIMIA and the division of Group 4 Falck finalize an agreement before then. The contract may also be further extended by the government if negotiations are not completed with the successful tenderer. During the twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2003, the contract with DIMIA represented approximately 10% of the Company’s revenue.

LEGAL

The Company is defending a wage and hour lawsuit filed in California state court by ten current and former employees. The employees are seeking certification of a class, which would encompass all current and former California employees of the Company. Discovery is underway and the court has yet to hear the plaintiffs’ certification motion. The Company is unable to estimate the potential loss exposure due to the current procedural posture of the lawsuit. While the plaintiffs in this case have not quantified their claim of damages and the outcome of the matters discussed above cannot be predicted with certainty, based on information known to date, management believes that the ultimate resolution of these matters, if settled unfavorably to the Company, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, operating results and cash flows. The Company is vigorously defending its rights in this action.

The nature of the Company’s business exposes the Company to various types of claims or litigation against it, including, but not limited to, civil rights claims relating to conditions of confinement and/or mistreatment, sexual misconduct claims brought by prisoners or detainees, medical malpractice claims, claims relating to employment matters (including, but not limited to, employment discrimination claims, union grievances and wage and hour claims), property loss claims, environmental claims, automobile liability claims, contractual claims and claims for personal injury or other damages resulting from contact with the Company’s facilities, programs, personnel or prisoners, including damages arising from a prisoner’s escape or from a disturbance or riot at a facility. Except for such litigation incidental to the Company’s business, and the matter set forth above, there are no pending material legal proceedings to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or to which the Company’s or any of its subsidiaries’ property or assets are subject.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Share Repurchase

On April 30, 2003, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement with Group 4 Falck A/S (“Group 4 Falck”), the Company’s majority shareholder, to repurchase all 12 million shares of the Company’s common stock held by Group 4 Falck for $132 million in cash. Group 4 Falck obtained these shares when it acquired TWC in 2002. The Company completed the share repurchase on July 9, 2003 and, following the repurchase, the Company has approximately 9.2 million shares of common stock issued and outstanding.

Sale of Our Joint Venture Interest in Premier Custodial Group Limited

On July 2, 2003, the Company sold its 50% interest in Premier Custodial Group Limited (“PCG”), its joint venture in the United Kingdom, to Serco Investments Limited, the Company’s joint venture partner, and received pre-tax proceeds of approximately $80 million. The Company will recognize a gain, net of tax, during the third quarter of approximately $32 million related to this sale. Under the terms of the Indenture governing the Notes, we have an obligation to use the proceeds from the sale of our interest in PCG to reinvest in certain permitted businesses or assets, to repay indebtedness outstanding under the Amended Senior Credit Facility or to make an offer to repurchase a portion of the Notes.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. As such, we are required to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that we believe are reasonable based upon the information available. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The Company routinely evaluates its estimates based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. A summary of our significant accounting policies is described in Note 2 to our financial statements on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2002. The significant accounting policies and estimates which we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results include the following:

Revenue Recognition

In accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 and related interpretations, facility management revenues are recognized as services are provided under facility management contracts with approved government appropriations based on a net rate per day per inmate or on a fixed monthly rate. Project development and design revenues are recognized as earned on a percentage of completion basis measured by the percentage of costs incurred to date as compared to estimated total cost for each contract. This method is used because management considers costs incurred to date to be the best available measure of progress on these contracts. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts and changes to cost estimates are made in the period in which the Company determines that such losses and changes are probable. Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance. Changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability, including those arising from contract

WACKENHUT CORRECTIONS CORPORATION

penalty provisions, and final contract settlements may result in revisions to estimated costs and income, and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company extends credit to the government agencies contracted with and other parties in the normal course of business as a result of billing and receiving payment for services thirty to sixty days in arrears. Further, the Company regularly reviews outstanding receivables, and provides estimated losses through an allowance for doubtful accounts. In evaluating the level of established reserves, the Company makes judgments regarding its customers’ ability to make required payments, economic events and other factors. As the financial condition of these parties change, circumstances develop or additional information becomes available, adjustments to the allowance for doubtful accounts may be required.

Property and Equipment

As of June 29, 2003, the Company had approximately $205 million in long-lived property and equipment. Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives. 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. The Company performs ongoing evaluations of the estimated useful lives of its property and equipment for depreciation purposes. The estimated useful lives are determined and continually evaluated based on the period over which services are expected to be rendered by the asset. Maintenance and repair items are expensed as incurred.

The Company reviews for impairment of long-lived assets to be held and used whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be fully recoverable. Determination of recoverability is based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. Measurement of an impairment loss for long-lived assets that management expects to hold and use is based on the fair value of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Management has reviewed the Company’s long-lived assets and determined that there are no events requiring impairment loss recognition. Events that would trigger an impairment assessment include deterioration of profits for a business segment that has long-lived assets, or when other changes occur which might impair recovery of long-lived assets.

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized as the difference between the book basis and tax basis of its net assets. In providing for deferred taxes, the Company considers current tax regulations, estimates of future taxable income and available tax planning strategies. If tax regulations, operating results or the ability to implement tax-planning strategies vary, adjustments to the carrying value of deferred tax assets and liabilities may be required.

Reserves for Insurance Losses

Casualty insurance related to workers’ compensation, general liability and automobile insurance coverage is provided through an independent insurer. The insurance program consists of primary and excess insurance coverage. The primary general liability coverage has a $5 million limit per occurrence with a $20 million general aggregate limit and a $1 million deductible. The primary automobile coverage has a $5 million limit per occurrence with a $1 million deductible and the primary workers’ compensation insurance limits are based on state statutes and contain a $1 million deductible. The excess coverage has a $50 million limit per occurrence and in the aggregate. The Company believes such limits are adequate to insure against the various liability risks of its business. The Company is self-insured for employment claims and medical malpractice.

WACKENHUT CORRECTIONS CORPORATION

Because the policy is a high deductible policy, losses are recorded as reported and provision is made to cover losses incurred but not reported. Loss reserves are undiscounted and are computed based on independent actuarial studies.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

On June 30, 2003, the Company’s contract with the California Department of Corrections for the management of the 224-bed McFarland Community Corrections Center expired. The Company has received a letter from the California Department of Corrections confirming the Department’s intention to issue a six-month contract extension through December 31, 2003. The Company continues to operate the facility, and the state continues to utilize the facility, but the Company has not received any payment for services rendered after June 30, 2003. Management believes that a contract extension will ultimately be entered into and that the Company will be compensated for services provided after June 30, 2003. However, there can be no assurance that a contract extension will be finalized. If the contract is not extended, the Company may not be reimbursed for its fees related to the operation of the McFarland facility after June 30, 2003. During the twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2003, the contract for the McFarland facility represented less than 1% of the Company’s revenue. In addition, the McFarland facility is currently in the fifth year of a ten-year non-cancelable operating lease with CPV. In the event the Company is unable to extend the contract or find an alternative use for the McFarland facility, the Company may be required to record an operating charge related to a portion of the future lease costs with CPV in accordance with SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.” The remaining lease obligation is approximately $5 million through April 28, 2008.

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 June 29, 2003 and Thirteen Weeks Ended June 30, 2002

Revenues increased by 8.5% to $153.2 million in the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2003 (“Second Quarter 2003”) from $141.2 million in the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2002 (“Second Quarter 2002”). Approximately $4.9 million of the increase in revenues is the result of the opening of the Lawrenceville Correctional Facility at the end of the first quarter 2003. Revenue also increased approximately $4.5 million in Second Quarter 2003 compared to Second Quarter 2002 due to a strengthening of the Australian dollar from 2002. The remainder of the increase in revenues reflects contractual adjustments for inflation, slightly higher occupancy rates and improved terms negotiated into a number of contracts. This increase was partially reduced by approximately $2.7 million in Second Quarter 2003 compared to Second Quarter 2002 due to the closure of the Bayamon Correctional Facility and South Bay – Sexually Violent Predators Unit.

The number of compensated resident days in domestic facilities increased to 2,440,848 in Second Quarter 2003 from 2,292,880 in Second Quarter 2002. The average facility occupancy in domestic facilities was 99.2% of capacity in Second Quarter 2003 compared to 98.3% in Second Quarter 2002. Compensated resident days in Australian facilities decreased to 401,840 from 406,483 for the comparable periods primarily due to lower population levels at the immigration and detention centers.

WACKENHUT CORRECTIONS CORPORATION

Operating expenses increased by 5.3% to $129.5 million in Second Quarter 2003 compared to $123 million in Second Quarter 2002. As a percentage of revenue, operating expenses decreased to 84.6% in Second Quarter 2003 from 87.1% in the comparable period in 2002. The increase in operating expenses primarily reflects the opening of the Lawrenceville Correctional Facility and the impact of the stronger Australian dollar offset by lower workers’ compensation and general liability insurance expense and lower lease expense as a result of purchasing previously leased properties. The interest cost associated with purchasing the properties is included in interest expense.

Depreciation and amortization increased by 47.8% to $3.6 million in Second Quarter 2003 compared to $2.4 million in Second Quarter 2002. As a percentage of revenue, depreciation and amortization increased to 2.4% in Second Quarter 2003 from 1.7% in the comparable period in 2002. This increase is attributable to the purchase of previously leased facilities for approximately $155 million in December 2002.

Contribution from operations increased 27.2% to $20.1 million in Second Quarter 2003 from $15.8 million in Second Quarter 2002. As a percentage of revenue, contribution from operations increased to 13.1% in Second Quarter 2003 from 11.2% in Second Quarter 2002. This increase is primarily due to the factors discussed above.

General and administrative expenses increased 22.1% to $10.1 million in Second Quarter 2003 from $8.3 million in Second Quarter 2002. As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative expenses increased to 6.6% in Second Quarter 2003 from 5.9% in Second Quarter 2002. The increase relates to increased professional fees related to the share repurchase from Group 4 Falck and increased deferred compensation costs for senior executive compensation agreements as well as payments under employment agreements with certain key executives triggered by the change in control from the sale of TWC in May 2002.

Operating income increased by 32.9% to $9.9 million in Second Quarter 2003 from $7.5 million in Second Quarter 2002. As a percentage of revenue, operating income increased to 6.5% in Second Quarter 2003 from 5.3% in Second Quarter 2002 due to the factors impacting contribution from operations and general and administrative expenses.

Interest income was $1.4 million during Second Quarter 2003 compared to $1.1 million in Second Quarter 2002 resulting from an increase in invested cash balances.

Interest expense was $3.1 million during Second Quarter 2003 compared to $0.8 million in Second Quarter 2002. This increase is attributable to the debt incurred to finance the purchase of previously leased facilities for approximately $155 million in December 2002. Previously, these properties were leased and the lease costs were included in operating expenses in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Income before income taxes and equity in earnings of affiliates increased to $8.3 million in Second Quarter 2003 from $7.8 million in Second Quarter 2002 due to the factors described above.

Provision for income taxes decreased to $3.4 million in Second Quarter 2003 from $4 million in Second Quarter 2002 due to a lower effective tax rate than 2002. In Second Quarter 2002 the higher effective tax rate was a result of an increase in the tax provision to provide for higher additional taxes due to the potential disallowance of certain expenses resulting from the sale of TWC.

Equity in earnings of affiliates, net of income tax provision, decreased to $1.4 million in Second Quarter 2003 from $1.6 million in Second Quarter 2002. Net income increased to $6.3 million in Second Quarter 2003 from $5.4 million in Second Quarter 2002 as a result of the factors described above.

WACKENHUT CORRECTIONS CORPORATION

Comparison of Twenty-six Weeks Ended June 29, 2003 and Twenty-six Weeks Ended June 30, 2002

Revenues increased by 6.1% to $298.5 million in the twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2003 (“First Half 2003”) from $281.4 million in the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2002 (“First Half 2002”). The strengthening of the Australian dollar compared to the same period in 2002 resulted in approximately an $8.3 million increase in revenues. Revenues also increased approximately $5.3 million as a result of the opening of the Lawrenceville Correctional Facility at the end of the first quarter 2003. Additionally, revenues increased approximately $9.9 million dollars due to contractual adjustments for inflation, slightly higher occupancy rates and improved terms negotiated into a number of contracts. This increase was partially reduced by approximately $6.4 million in First Half 2003 compared to First Half 2002 due to the closure of the Bayamon Correctional Facility and South Bay – Sexually Violent Predators Unit as well as a reduction in compensated resident days at the Coke County Correctional Facility.

The number of compensated resident days in domestic facilities increased to 4,743,635 in First Half 2003 from 4,568,862 in First Half 2002. The average facility occupancy in domestic facilities was 99.2% of capacity in First Half 2003 compared to 97.8% in First Half 2002. Compensated resident days in Australian facilities decreased to 798,730 from 867,754 for the comparable periods primarily due to lower population levels at the immigration and detention centers.

Operating expenses increased by 2.5% to $252.8 million in First Half 2003 compared to $246.7 million in First Half Quarter 2002. As a percentage of revenue, operating expenses decreased to 84.7% in First Half 2003 from 87.7% in the comparable period in 2002. The increase in operating expenses primarily reflects the opening of the Lawrenceville Correctional Facility and the impact of the stronger Australian dollar offset by lower workers’ compensation and general liability insurance expense and lower lease expense as a result of purchasing previously leased properties. The interest cost associated with purchasing the properties is included in interest expense.

Depreciation and amortization increased by 40.5% to $6.9 million in First Half 2003 compared to $4.9 million in First Half 2002. As a percentage of revenue, depreciation and amortization increased to 2.3% in First Half 2003 from 1.7% in the comparable period in 2002. This increase is attributable to the purchase of previously leased facilities for approximately $155 million in December 2002.

Contribution from operations increased 29.9% to $38.7 million in First Half 2003 from $29.8 million in First Half 2002. As a percentage of revenue, contribution from operations increased to 13% in First Half 2003 from 10.6% in First Half 2002. This increase is primarily due to the factors discussed above.

General and administrative expenses increased 16.2% to $19.1 million in First Half 2003 from $16.4 million in First Half 2002. As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative expenses increased to 6.4% in First Half 2003 from 5.8% in First Half 2002. The increase relates to increased professional fees related to the share repurchase from Group 4 Falck and increased deferred compensation costs for senior executive compensation agreements as well as payments under employment agreements with certain key executives triggered by the change in control from the sale of TWC in May 2002.

Operating income increased by 46.6% to $19.7 million in First Half 2003 from $13.4 million in First Half 2002. As a percentage of revenue, operating income increased to 6.6% in First Half 2003 from 4.8% in First Half 2002 due to the factors impacting contribution from operations and general and administrative expenses.

Interest income was $2.5 million during First Half 2003 compared to $2.1 million in First Half 2002 resulting from an increase in invested cash balances.

Income before income taxes and equity in earnings of affiliates increased to $16.1 million in First Half 2003 as compared to $13.8 million in First Half 2002 due to the factors described above.

Provision for income taxes increased to $6.7 million in First Half 2003 as compared to $6.5 million in First Half 2002 due to higher taxable income offset by a lower effective tax rate.

Equity in earnings of affiliates, net of income tax provision, decreased to $2.1 million in First Half 2003 as compared to $3.2 million in First Half 2002 due to performance issues at the Ashfield facility in the United Kingdom.

Net income increased to $11.5 million in First Half 2003 from $10.6 million in First Half 2002 as a result of the factors described above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s principal sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations and borrowings under the $50 million revolving portion of the Amended Senior Credit Facility. The Company expects that ongoing requirements for debt service and capital expenditures will be funded from these sources. As of July 9, 2003, the Company had $25.4 million in letters of credit outstanding under the revolving credit facility and $24.6 million available for additional borrowings. Cash and cash equivalents as of June 29, 2003 were $59 million, an increase of $23.8 million from December 29, 2002.

The Company incurred substantial indebtedness in connection with the Transaction. As of June 29, 2003, after giving pro forma effect to the Transaction, the Company will have $250 million of consolidated long-term debt outstanding, excluding $39.7 million of non-recourse debt. Pro forma annual interest expense, including amortization of deferred financing costs, will be approximately $18.7 million. This annual interest expense is calculated giving effect to the annual interest rate of 8 1/4% on the Notes and assumes an annual interest rate of 4.2 % on borrowings under the term loan portion of the Amended Senior Credit Facility.

Based on current operations, management of the Company believes that cash flow from operations and available cash, together with available borrowings under our Amended Senior Credit Facility, will be adequate to meet future liquidity needs over the next twelve months.

At June 29, 2003, the Company had outstanding eleven letters of guarantee totaling approximately $6.4 million under separate international credit facilities. These letters of guarantee are not included in the Amended Senior Credit Facility.

Cash provided by operating activities amounted to $22.2 million in the First Half 2003 versus cash provided by operating activities of $2.6 million in the First Half 2002 primarily reflecting a decrease in accounts receivable and other current assets and an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses offset by a decrease in accrued payroll and related taxes.

Cash used in investing activities amounted to $4 million in the First Half 2003 compared to $1.8 million in the First Half 2002. The change is primarily a result of a decrease in repayments of investments in and advances to affiliates offset by slightly higher capital expenditures in the First Half 2003 as compared to the First Half 2002.

Cash provided by financing activities in the First Half 2003 amounted to $2.2 million compared to cash provided by financing activities of $0.9 million in the First Half 2002. The change is primarily due to the increase in proceeds from non-recourse debt offset by a decrease in the exercise of stock options.

Working capital increased from $64.6 million at December 29, 2002 to $83.5 million at June 29, 2003 primarily due to an increase in cash and cash equivalents offset by a decrease in other current assets and an increase in accounts payable.

On July 9, 2003, the Company repurchased all 12 million shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 (the “Common Stock”), beneficially owned by Group 4 Falck A/S (“Group 4 Falck”), the Company’s former 57% majority shareholder, for $132 million in cash pursuant to the terms of a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Share Purchase Agreement”), dated April 30, 2003 by and among the Company, Group 4 Falck, The Wackenhut Corporation, the Company’s former parent company (“TWC”) and Tuhnekcaw, Inc., an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Group 4 Falck (“Tuhnekcaw”) (the “Transaction”).

The Transaction was negotiated by a special committee comprised of independent members of the Company’s board of directors and approved by the independent directors on the Company’s board. The special committee retained independent legal and financial advisers to assist it in the evaluation of the Transaction. The special committee received a fairness opinion from Legg Mason, its independent financial advisor, stating that the consideration being paid in connection with the Transaction was fair from a financial point of view to the shareholders of the Company other than Group 4 Falck and its affiliates.
