EARNINGS PER SHARE The following table shows the amounts used in computing earnings per share (EPS) in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 and the effects on income and the weighted average number of shares of potential dilutive common stock (in thousands except per share data). Thirteen Weeks Ended Thirty-nine Weeks Ended ---------------------------- ---------------------------- Oct. 1, 2000 Oct. 3, 1999 Oct. 1, 2000 Oct. 3, 1999 ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Basic weighted average shares 21,013 21,593 21,142 21,699 Effect of dilutive securities: Employee and director stock options 138 469 148 426 ------ ------ ------ ------ Diluted weighted average shares 21,151 22,062 21,290 22,125 ====== ====== ====== ====== Options to purchase 1,042,200 shares of the Company's common stock, with exercise prices ranging from $8.44 to $26.88 per share and expiration dates between 2005 and 2010, were outstanding at October 1, 2000, but were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because their effect would be anti-dilutive if exercised. At October 3, 1999, outstanding options to purchase 606,500 shares of the Company's common stock, with exercise prices ranging from $18.38 to $26.88 and expiration dates between 2006 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 $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. 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 October 1, 2000, the interest rate for this facility was 8.1%. 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. In connection with an international project, the Company has provided letters of credit totaling $9.0 million that may be drawn upon by the beneficiary in the event the Company's joint venture is terminated for default by the contracting governmental agency. The letters of credit bear interest at 2.0%. 6. SHARES REPURCHASED On February 18, 2000, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to an additional 500,000 shares of its common stock, in addition to the 1,000,000 shares previously authorized for repurchase. As of October 1, 2000, the Company had repurchased 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. For fiscal year 2000, the Company repurchased 500,000 shares at an average price of $9.87. The common stock repurchased has been retired and resulted in a reduction of shareholders' equity.

9 WACKENHUT CORRECTIONS CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES In Travis County, Texas, a grand jury indicted twelve of the Company's former facility employees for various types of sexual misconduct at the Travis County Community Justice Center. 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. Management believes these indictments are not expected to have any material financial impact on the Company. The District Attorney in Travis County continues to review Company documents for alleged document tampering at the Travis County Facility. At this time the Company cannot predict the outcome of this investigation or the potential impact on the Company's financial position and results of operations. In New Mexico, the Company has been in discussions with the State's Department of Corrections and Legislative Finance Committee and has submitted proposed contract modifications regarding additional compensation for physical plant modification and increased staffing at Guadalupe County Correctional Facility and Lea County Correctional Facility which have been or are in the process of being implemented by the Company. At this time, no agreement has been reached regarding these contract modifications. During 1998, the Company entered into a contract with the State of Florida Department of Children and Families ("DCF") to design and construct a new 350-bed South Florida State Psychiatric Hospital for approximately $35 million. The Company also entered into a separate contract to manage the operations of an existing 350-bed facility prior to and during construction of the new facility and to manage the operations of the new facility upon construction completion. The construction phase of the contract is near completion. However, the Company has incurred additional costs of approximately $1.8 million beyond the initial scope of the construction contract through October 1, 2000. The Company is in the process of negotiating with DCF to recover these additional costs. DCF has indicated a willingness to allow for funds to be raised through additional bond completion certificates to pay for these additional costs. DCF can provide no assurances that it will be able to complete the potential bond offering or secure alternative funding. Accordingly, the Company has deferred the profit on the construction of the facility. 8. JENA CHARGE On January 7, 2000, the Company exercised the right to acquire the 276-bed Jena Juvenile Justice Center (the "Facility") in Jena, Louisiana from the trust of the Company's operating lease facility and, simultaneously sold it to Correctional Properties Trust ("CPV"). This Facility is being leased back to the Company under a 10-year non-cancelable operating lease. On May 17, 2000, the Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections ("LDPSC") had removed all inmates from the Jena Juvenile Justice Center in Jena, Louisiana, and the Company terminated the employment of the facility staff. The cooperative agreement for such facility was terminated effective June 30, 2000. The Company has recorded an operating charge of $3.8 million ($2.3 million after tax, or $0.11 (eleven cents) per share), that represents the losses to be incurred on the lease with CPV. Management estimates that the facility will remain inactive through the end of 2001. Page 9 of 20

10 WACKENHUT CORRECTIONS CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 8. JENA CHARGE (CONTINUED) The Company is continuing its efforts to sublease or find an alternative use for the facility. If the Company is unable to sublease or find an alternative use for the facility, there could be an adverse impact on the Company's financial position and future results of operations. 9. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 ("SFAS 133"), "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." 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. In June 2000, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 138 ("SFAS 138"), "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities, an Amendment of SFAS No. 133." SFAS 138 addresses a limited number of issues causing implementation difficulties for numerous entities that apply SFAFS No. 133 and amends the accounting and reporting standards of SFAS 133 for certain derivative instruments and certain hedging activities. SFAS 133, as amended by SFAS No. 137 and 138, is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. In management's opinion, the impact of adopting SFAS 133 and 138 will not have a material impact upon the Company's results of operations or financial position. In December 1999, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 "Revenue Recognition" ("SAB No. 101"), which provides guidance on the recognition, presentation, and disclosure of revenue in financial statements filed with the SEC. SAB No. 101 outlines the basic criteria that must be met to recognize revenue and provides guidance for disclosure related to revenue recognition policies. An amendment in June 2000 delayed the effective date until the fourth quarter of 2000. Management believes that the Company's revenue recognition practices are in conformity with the guidelines prescribed in SAB No. 101. Page 10 of 20

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 January 2, 2000, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2000, 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 Company's November 2, 2000 earnings press release contain forward-looking statements that are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about the segments in which the Company operates. This section of the quarterly report also includes management's 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 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. These are representative of the Future Factors that could affect the outcome of the forward-looking statements. In addition, such statements could be affected by general industry and market conditions and growth rates, general domestic and international economic conditions including interest rate and currency rate fluctuations and other future factors. Page 11 of 20

12 WACKENHUT CORRECTIONS CORPORATION LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Cash and cash equivalents at October 1, 2000 of $19.6 million decreased $21.5 million from January 2, 2000. Cash provided by operating activities amounted to $6.4 million in the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2000 ("Nine Months 2000") versus cash provided by operating activities of $13.8 million in the thirty-nine weeks ended October 3, 1999 ("Nine Months 1999") primarily reflecting the $3.9 million decrease in net income and an increase in accounts receivable offset by an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses. Cash used in investing activities amounted to $19.8 million in the Nine Months 2000 as compared to cash used in investing activities of $4.1 million in the Nine Months 1999. The difference primarily reflects proceeds of $22.3 million for the sale of Lea County Correctional Facility to Correctional Properties Trust ("CPV") and the right to acquire the Lawton Correctional Facility in the Nine Months 1999. There were no proceeds from the sale of facilities in the Nine Months 2000 to offset capital expenditures. However, capital expenditures were partially offset by a gain related to the sale of a portion of the Company's loan receivable from an overseas affiliate in the Nine Months 2000. Cash used in financing activities in the Nine Months 2000 amounted to $5.9 million as compared to cash used in financing activities in the Nine Months 1999 of $7.9 million. The decrease primarily results from decreases in repurchases of the Company's common stock. Working capital decreased from $79.4 million at January 2, 2000 to $57.9 million at the end of the Third Quarter of 2000 primarily due to an increase in accrued expenses and a decrease in cash and cash equivalents. This was partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable. 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. As of October 1, 2000, the Company had $14.0 million outstanding of its $30 million revolving credit facility for the funding of construction projects. As of October 1, 2000, approximately $123.6 million of the Company's $220 million operating lease facility, established to acquire and develop new correctional facilities, was outstanding for properties under development. With the completion of the remaining properties under development, the Company will have consumed its available capacity under the operating lease facility. The Company is exploring other financing alternatives for future project development such as the sale of facilities to government entities, the third-party sale and leaseback of facilities, and the issuance of taxable or nontaxable bonds by local government entities. On January 7, 2000, the Company exercised the right to acquire the 276-bed Jena Juvenile Justice Center (the "Facility") in Jena, Louisiana from the trust of the Company's operating lease facility and, simultaneously sold it to CPV. This Facility is being leased back to the Company under a 10-year non-cancelable operating lease. On May 17, 2000, the Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections ("LDPSC") had removed all inmates from the Jena Juvenile Justice Center in Jena, Louisiana, and the Company terminated the employment of the facility staff. The cooperative agreement for such facility was terminated effective June 30, 2000. The Company has recorded an operating charge of $3.8 million ($2.3 million after tax, or $0.11 (eleven cents) per share), that represents the losses to be incurred on the lease with management's estimation that the facility will remain inactive through the end of 2001. Page 12 of 20

13 WACKENHUT CORRECTIONS CORPORATION The Company is continuing its efforts to sublease or find an alternative use for the facility. If the Company is unable to sublease or find an alternative use for the facility, there could be an adverse impact on the Company's financial position and future results of operations. 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 OCTOBER 1, 2000 AND THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED OCTOBER 3, 1999 Revenues increased by 21.3% to $135.9 million in the thirteen weeks ended October 1, 2000 ("Third Quarter 2000") from $112.0 million in the thirteen weeks ended October 3, 1999 ("Third Quarter 1999"). Approximately $18.2 million of the increase in revenues in the Third Quarter 2000 compared to the Third Quarter 1999 is attributable to increased compensated resident days resulting from the opening of five facilities in 1999, (Guadalupe County Correctional Facility, Santa Rosa, New Mexico in January, 1999; Michigan Youth Correctional Facility, Baldwin, Michigan in July, 1999; South Bay Correctional Facility - Sexually Violent Predators Unit, South Bay, Florida in September, 1999; Curtin Immigration Reception and Processing Centre, Derby, Western Australia in September, 1999; and Woomera Immigration and Processing Centre, Woomera, South Australia in November, 1999) and the opening of two facilities in 2000, (Auckland Central Remand Prison, Auckland, New Zealand in July, 2000 and the Western Region Detention Facility at San Diego, San Diego, California in July, 2000). Approximately $6.3 million of the increase in revenue in the Third Quarter 2000 compared to the Third Quarter 1999 is attributable to the construction of new facilities for South Florida State Hospital and for the government of the Netherlands Antilles in Curacao and approximately $1.4 million for development activities in South Africa. This increase in revenues was partially offset by a decrease of approximately $4.4 million in the Third Quarter 2000 as compared to the Third Quarter 1999 because the Company ceased operations at the Travis County Community Justice Center and Jena Juvenile Justice Center. The balance of the increase in revenues was attributable to facilities open for the entirety of both periods and increases in per diem rates. The number of compensated resident days in domestic facilities decreased to 2,200,772 in the Third Quarter 2000 from 2,209,563 in the Third Quarter 1999. The average facility occupancy in domestic facilities decreased to 97.4% of capacity in the Third Quarter 2000 compared to 97.7% in the Third Quarter 1999. The cessation of operations at the Jena Juvenile Justice Center and Travis County Community Justice Center was partially offset by the opening of the Western Region Detention Facility at San Diego. Compensated resident days in Australian facilities increased to 435,364 from 267,013 for the comparable periods primarily due to higher compensated resident days at the immigration detention facilities including the opening of the Curtin Immigration Reception and Processing Centre and Woomera Immigration and Processing Centre. Operating expenses increased by 23.6% to $122.4 million in the Third Quarter 2000 compared to $99.1 million in the Third Quarter 1999. As a percentage of revenues, operating expenses increased to 90.1% in the Third Quarter 2000 from 88.4% in the comparable period in 1999. The increase in operating expenses primarily reflects the five facilities that were opened in 1999 and the two facilities that were opened in 2000, as described above. Additionally, there are several other factors contributing to the increase including expenses related to the construction of new facilities for South Florida State Hospital and the government of the Netherlands Antilles and increases in general and comprehensive liability insurance premiums. There were also additional operational expenses at the George W. Hill Correctional Facility (Pennsylvania), Guadalupe County Correctional Facility (New Mexico), Michigan Youth Correctional Facility (Michigan), North Texas Intermediate Sanction Facility (Texas), Ronald McPherson Page 13 of 20

14 WACKENHUT CORRECTIONS CORPORATION Correctional Facility (Arkansas), and Scott Grimes Correctional Facility (Arkansas). The Company has developed strategies to improve the operational performance of these facilities; however, there can be no assurances that these strategies will be successful. Effective April 1, 2000, the premium paid by the Company for general and comprehensive liability insurance under the liability insurance program maintained by The Wackenhut Corporation ("TWC") increased due to an adverse trend in the development of claims experience. Premiums increased again effective July 1, 2000. As a result of these increases the Company continues to incur additional operating expenses for general comprehensive liability insurance. The Company is developing a strategy to improve the management of its future loss claims but can provide no assurances that this strategy will be successful. During a period of low unemployment, some facilities may experience difficulty in finding qualified personnel. This may have an adverse impact on the Company's results of operations if wages and salaries increase at a faster rate than the per diem or fixed rate received by the Company for its services. The Company reported a third quarter operating charge of $3.8 million ($2.3 million after tax, or $0.11 (eleven cents) per share), related to the de-activation of the Jena, Louisiana facility. The Company estimates the facility will remain inactive through the end of 2001. Depreciation and amortization increased by 93.5% to $2.5 million in the Third Quarter 2000 from $1.3 million in the Third Quarter 1999. As a percentage of revenues, depreciation and amortization increased to 1.8% from 1.1% in the Third Quarter in 1999. This increase is primarily attributable to leasehold improvements at the New Mexico, Oklahoma and San Diego facilities and additional operational assets. Contribution from operations decreased 38.8% to $7.2 million in the Third Quarter 2000 from $11.7 million in Third Quarter 1999. As a percentage of revenue, contribution from operations decreased to 5.3% in the Third Quarter 2000 from 10.5% in the Third Quarter 1999. As discussed above, this decrease is primarily attributable to the factors impacting the increase in operating expenses, the operating charge related to the Jena, Louisiana facility, and depreciation and amortization expenses. General and administrative expenses increased by 11.7% to $5.3 million in the Third Quarter 2000 from $4.8 million in the Third Quarter 1999. This increase reflects costs for additional infrastructure, legal and professional fees and additional costs related to the Company's services agreement with TWC. As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative expenses decreased to 3.9% in the Third Quarter 2000 from 4.3% in the Third Quarter 1999. Operating income decreased by 73.5% to $1.8 million in the Third Quarter 2000 from $6.9 million in the Third Quarter 1999. As a percentage of revenue, operating income decreased to 1.4% in the Third Quarter 2000 from 6.2% in the Third Quarter 1999 due to the factors impacting contribution from operations and general and administrative expenses. There was minimal other income during the Third Quarter 2000 compared to $1.0 million in the Third Quarter 1999. This decrease primarily results from a lower return on investment in overseas projects due to the sale of loans in the Fourth Quarter 1999 and Second Quarter 2000 and lower invested cash balances. Income before income taxes and equity in earnings of affiliates decreased to $1.9 million in the Third Quarter 2000 from $7.9 million in the Third Quarter 1999 due to the factors described above. Provision for income taxes decreased to $0.8 million in the Third Quarter 2000 from $3.2 million in the Third Quarter 1999 due to lower taxable income and a slight decrease in the Company's estimated tax rate. Page 14 of 20

15 WACKENHUT CORRECTIONS CORPORATION Equity in earnings of affiliates, net of income tax provision increased to $1.2 million in the Third Quarter 2000 from $1.0 million in the Third Quarter 1999 due to achieving normalized operations at the Hassockfield Secure Training Centre in Medomsley, England which opened in September, 1999 and H.M. Prison & Youth Offender Institution Ashfield in Pucklechurch, England which opened in November, 1999. Net income decreased to $2.4 million in the Third Quarter 2000 from $5.7 million in the Third Quarter 1999 as a result of the factors described above. COMPARISON OF THIRTY-NINE WEEKS ENDED OCTOBER 1, 2000 AND THIRTY-NINE WEEKS ENDED OCTOBER 3, 1999: Revenues increased by 26.9% to $400.3 million in the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2000 from $315.5 million in the thirty-nine weeks ended October 3, 1999. Approximately $59.6 million of the increase in revenues in Nine Months 2000 compared to Nine Months 1999 is attributable to increased compensated resident days resulting from the opening of seven facilities in 1999, (Guadalupe County Correctional Facility, Santa Rosa, New Mexico in January, 1999; Melbourne Custody Detention Centre, Melbourne, Australia in March, 1999; East Mississippi Correctional Facility, Meridian, Mississippi in April, 1999; Michigan Youth Correctional Facility, Baldwin, Michigan in July, 1999; South Bay Correctional Facility - Sexually Violent Predators Unit, South Bay, Florida in September, 1999; Curtin Immigration Reception and Processing Centre, Derby, Western Australia in September, 1999; and Woomera Immigration and Processing Centre, Woomera, South Australia in November, 1999) and the opening of two facilities in 2000, (Auckland Central Remand Prison, Auckland, New Zealand in July, 2000 and the Western Region Detention Facility at San Diego, San Diego, California in July, 2000). Approximately $28.3 million of the increase in revenue in Nine Months 2000 compared to Nine Months 1999 is attributable to the construction of new facilities for South Florida State Hospital and for the government of the Netherlands Antilles in Curacao and approximately $1.9 million for development activities in South Africa. This increase in revenues was partially offset by a decrease of approximately $10.2 million in Nine Months 2000 as compared to the same period in 1999 due to the loss of the contracts for operation of the Travis County Community Justice Center and Jena Juvenile Justice Center. The balance of the increase in revenues was attributable to facilities open for the entirety of both periods and an increase in per diem rates. The number of compensated resident days in domestic facilities increased to 6,530,437 in Nine Months 2000 from 6,375,091 in Nine Months 1999. The average facility occupancy in domestic facilities slightly decreased to 97.3% of capacity in Nine Months 2000 compared to 97.7% in Nine Months 1999. The cessation of operations at the Jena Juvenile Justice Center and Travis County Community Justice Center contracts was partially offset by the opening of the Western Region Detention Facility at San Diego. Compensated resident days in Australian facilities increased to 1,434,915 from 740,983 for the comparable period primarily due to higher compensated resident days at the immigration detention facilities as well as the opening of the Curtin Immigration Reception and Processing Centre and Woomera Immigration and Processing Centre. Operating expenses increased by 29.5% to $360.9 million in Nine Months 2000 compared to $278.8 million in Nine Months 1999. As a percentage of revenues, operating expenses increased to 90.2% in Nine Months 2000 from 88.3% in the comparable period in 1999. This increase primarily reflects the seven facilities that were opened in 1999 and the two facilities that opened in 2000, as described above. Additionally, there are several other factors contributing to the increase which include the following: expenses related to the construction of new facilities for South Florida State Hospital and the government of the Netherlands Antilles and increases in general and comprehensive liability insurance premiums.

Other income decreased 16.1% to $1.7 million in Nine Months 2000 from $2.0 million in Nine Months 1999. This decrease primarily results from a lower return on investment in overseas projects due to the sale of loans in the Fourth Quarter 1999 and Second Quarter 2000. This was partially offset by a $0.6 million gain from the sale of a portion of the Company's loan receivable from an overseas affiliate in Nine Months 2000. Income before income taxes and equity in earnings of affiliates decreased by 36.4% to $14.2 million in Nine Months 2000 from $22.3 million in Nine Months 1999 due to the factors described above.
