DEFERRED CHARGES Effective December 29, 1997, the Company adopted the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants' Statement of Position 98-5 ("SOP 98-5") on Accounting for Costs of Start-up Activities. Under this policy, the Company is required to expense all start-up and project development costs as incurred. In fiscal 1998, the Company wrote-off existing unamortized start-up costs and project development costs of $19.5 million (or $11.5 million after-tax) to record the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle. The adoption of SOP 98-5 required a restatement of the previously issued financial statements for the thirteen weeks and twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 1998. Page 6 of 16

At June 28, 1999, outstanding options to purchase 168,000 shares of the Company's common stock, with exercise prices ranging from $25.06 to $29.56 and expiration dates between 2006 and 2008, were also excluded from the computation of diluted EPS because their effect would be anti-dilutive if exercised.

8 WACKENHUT CORRECTIONS CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 6. SALE OF FACILITIES TO CORRECTIONAL PROPERTIES TRUST On January 15, 1999, the Company sold its right to acquire a 1,500-bed correctional facility located in Lawton, Oklahoma and sold the 600-bed expansion of the Lea County Correctional Facility to Correctional Properties Trust ("CPV") for a total of approximately $66.1 million. Net proceeds to the Company from the sale were approximately $22.3 million. Simultaneous with these purchases, the Company entered into ten-year operating leases with CPV for these facilities. These properties require initial annual lease payments of $6.3 million and include annual increases for changes in the consumer price index with minimum increases of 3% for each of the following two years. 7. STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NO. 133 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 1999, FASB amended the effective date of SFAS 133 to fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. In management's opinion, the impact of adopting this statement will not have a material impact upon the Company's results of operations or financial position. 8. TREASURY STOCK On August 7, 1998, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized the repurchase, at the discretion of the senior management, of up to 500,000 shares of the Company's common stock. As of January 3, 1999, the Company had repurchased 453,500 shares of common stock. In February 1999, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to an additional 500,000 shares of the Company's common stock. As of July 4, 1999, the Company had repurchased a total of 753,000 of the one million common shares authorized for repurchase at an average price per share of $19.87. For fiscal year 1999, the Company had repurchased 299,500 shares at an average price of $20.47. The repurchased shares had been recorded by the Company as treasury stock resulting in a reduction of shareholders' equity. Page 8 of 16

9 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 3, 1999, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 2, 1999, 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 August 5, 1999 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. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES On January 15, 1999 the Company sold its right to acquire a 1,500-bed correctional facility located in Lawton, Oklahoma and sold the 600-bed expansion of the Lea County Correctional Facility located in Hobbs, New Mexico to CPV for approximately $66.1 million. Net proceeds to the Company from the sale were approximately $22.3 million. Both facilities are being leased back to the Company under an operating lease. Cash and cash equivalents at July 4, 1999 of $43.5 million increased $23.3 million from January 3, 1999. Cash provided by operating activities amounted to $22.1 million in the twenty-six weeks ended July 4, 1999 ("First Half 1999") versus cash provided by operating activities of $1.8 million in twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 1998 ("First Half 1998") primarily reflecting lower trade accounts receivable, other current assets and deferred income tax balances. Cash provided by investing activities amounted to $6.2 million in the First Half 1999, including capital expenditures of $14.5 million representing the investment in facilities and purchase of equipment offset by proceeds from the sale of the Lea County Correctional Facility to CPV. Cash used in financing activities in First Half 1999 amounted to $6.1 million, reflecting primarily purchases of treasury stock of the Company. Page 9 of 16

10 WACKENHUT CORRECTIONS CORPORATION Working capital increased from $66.3 at January 3, 1999 to $78.0 at the end of the Second Quarter of 1999 primarily due to the sale of the Lea County Correctional Facility offset by increases in payables and accrued expenses. As of July 4, 1999, approximately $74.0 million of the Company's $220 million operating lease facility, established to acquire and develop new correctional facilities, was outstanding for properties under development. YEAR 2000 READINESS DISCLOSURE Management continued its review of the installation of new information systems hardware and software and determined that the installation is on schedule for completion before the year 2000. This review also encompasses other systems including embedded technology, such as security systems. The year 2000 issue is the result of shortcomings in many electronic data processing systems and other equipment that make operations beyond the year 1999 troublesome. The internal clocks in computers and other equipment will roll over from "12/31/99" to "01/01/00" and programs and hardware, if not corrected, will be unable to distinguish between the year 2000 and the year 1900. This may result in processing data inaccurately or in stopping data processing altogether. There are five phases that describe the Company's process in becoming year 2000 compliant. The awareness phase encompasses developing a budget and project plan. The assessment phase identifies mission-critical systems to check for compliance. Based on current information, both of these phases have been completed. The Company is at various stages in the three remaining phases: renovation, validation and implementation. Renovation is the design of the systems to be year 2000 compliant. Validation is testing the systems followed by implementation. Implementation of the Company's year 2000 compliant financial operating systems has begun and is scheduled for complete implementation in third quarter 1999. Implementation of all other major year 2000 compliant systems is scheduled for completion in the third quarter of 1999. The Company has incurred and will continue to incur expenses related to year 2000 compliance. These costs include time and effort of internal staff and consultants for renovation, validation and implementation, and computer and embedded technology systems enhancements and/or replacements. The total costs, funded from working capital and not considered material, for achieving year 2000 compliance, are estimated at approximately $0.5 million. Of the total estimated amount, $0.3 million will be capitalized and amortized and $0.2 million will be expensed. These total estimated costs exclude payroll costs of internal staff related to year 2000 compliance as the Company does not separately track such costs. In addition, the total estimated amount to achieve year 2000 compliance excludes the Company's total costs estimated to be incurred in previously planned new systems. Implementation of these new systems has not been accelerated due to the year 2000 problem. Deferral of other projects that would have a material effect on operations has not been required, nor anticipated, as a result of the Company's year 2000 efforts. The state of year 2000 readiness for third parties with whom the Company shares material relations, such as banks and vendors used by the Company, is being reviewed by management. The Company had sent written inquiries to these third parties. At this time, the Company is unaware of any third party year 2000 issues that would materially effect these relationships. Page 10 of 16

11 WACKENHUT CORRECTIONS CORPORATION The Company expects to be year 2000 compliant in 1999 for all major systems. The Company is assessing its risk and full impact on operations should the most reasonably likely worst case year 2000 scenario occur. In conjunction with this assessment, the Company is developing contingency plans and expects completion during the third quarter of 1999. 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 JULY 4, 1999 AND THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED JUNE 28, 1998 Revenues increased by 42.1% to $106.0 million in the thirteen weeks ended July 4, 1999 ("Second Quarter 1999") from $74.6 million in the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 1998 ("Second Quarter 1998"). Approximately $27.8 million of the increase in revenues in Second Quarter 1999 compared to Second Quarter 1998 is attributable to increased compensated resident days resulting from the opening of six facilities in 1998, (Lea County Correctional Facility, Hobbs, New Mexico in May, 1998; Lawton Correctional Facility, Lawton, Oklahoma in July, 1998; George W. Hill Correctional Facility, Thornton, Pennsylvania in July, 1998; South Florida State Hospital, Pembroke Pines, Florida in November, 1998; Jena Juvenile Justice Center, Jena, Louisiana in December, 1998; and Cleveland Correctional Center, Cleveland, Texas in January, 1999) and with the opening of three facilities in the Second Quarter 1999; (Guadalupe County Correctional Facility, Santa Rosa, New Mexico in January, 1999; Melbourne Custody Detention Centre, Melbourne, Australia in March 1999; and East Mississippi Correctional Facility, Meridian, Mississippi in April, 1999). The 1,562-bed George W. Hill Correctional Facility opened in 1998 replaced the existing 1,000-bed facility managed by the Company. The balance of the increase in revenues was attributable to facilities open during all of both periods and to development activities. The number of compensated resident days in domestic facilities increased to 2,135,658 in Second Quarter 1999 from 1,639,688 in Second Quarter 1998. Compensated resident days in Australian facilities increased to 251,701 from 205,934 for the comparable periods primarily due to higher compensated resident days at the immigration detention facilities as well as the opening of the Melbourne Custody Detention Centre. The average facility occupancy in domestic facilities was 97.4% of capacity in Second Quarter 1999 compared to 96.9% in Second Quarter 1998. Operating expenses increased by 46.5% to $93.6 million in Second Quarter 1999 compared to $63.9 million in Second Quarter 1998. This increase primarily reflected the nine facilities that were opened in 1998 and 1999, as described above. As a percentage of revenues, operating expenses increased to 88.2% from 85.6% due primarily to lease payments to CPV of $5.2 million offset by the amortization of deferred revenue of $0.4 million from the sale of properties. Depreciation and amortization remained constant in Second Quarter 1999 at $1.2 million as compared with Second Quarter 1998. As a percentage of revenues, depreciation and amortization decreased to 1.1% from 1.6% in the Second Quarter in 1998. Contribution from operations increased 18.6% to $11.3 million in Second Quarter 1999 from $9.5 million in Second Quarter 1998. As discussed above, this increase is primarily attributable to nine new facilities that opened in 1998 and 1999. As a percentage of revenue, contribution from operations decreased to 10.7% in Second Quarter 1999 from 12.8% in Second Quarter 1998. This decrease is primarily due to the lease payments resulting from the sale of correctional facilities to CPV in the Second Quarter of 1998 and from additional expenses related to the start-up of new facilities.

12 WACKENHUT CORRECTIONS CORPORATION General and administrative expenses increased by 42.9% to $4.5 million in Second Quarter 1999 from $3.2 million in Second Quarter 1998.

Interest income was $654,000 during the Second Quarter 1999 compared to $564,000 in Second Quarter 1998 resulting from an increase in the return on investment in overseas projects. Income before income taxes, equity in earnings of affiliates, and cumulative effect of change in accounting for start-up costs increased to $7.4 million in Second Quarter 1999 from $6.9 million in Second Quarter 1998 due to the factors described above.

Prison Kilmarnock in March, 1999. Net income increased to $5.4 million in Second Quarter 1999 from $4.7 million in Second Quarter 1998 as a result of the factors described above.

Approximately $52.1 million of the increase in revenues in First Half 1999 compared to First Half 1998 is attributable to increased compensated resident days resulting from the opening of ten facilities in 1998 (Scott Grimes Correctional Facility, Newport, Arkansas in January, 1998; Ronald McPherson Correctional Facility, Newport, Arkansas in January, 1998; Karnes County Correctional Center, Karnes City, Texas in January, 1998; Broward County Work Release Center, Broward County, Florida in February, 1998; Lea County Correctional Facility, Hobbs, New Mexico in May, 1998; Lawton Correctional Facility, Lawton, Oklahoma in July, 1998; George W.

Meridian, Mississippi in April, 1999). The 1,562-bed George W. Hill Correctional Facility opened in 1998 replaced the existing 1,000-bed facility managed by the Company. The balance of the increase in revenues was attributable to facilities open during all of both periods and to development activities. The number of compensated resident days in domestic facilities increased to 4,165,528 in First Half 1999 from 3,185,025 in First Half 1998. Compensated resident days in Australian facilities increased to 473,970 from 411,297 for the comparable period primarily due to higher compensated resident days at the Page 12 of 16

The Committee, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to extend the 90 days up to one (1) year after the date of such termination, but, however, in no event beyond the expiration date of the Options. If the employment of the Participant shall terminate for Cause, all outstanding Options immediately shall be forfeited to the Company and no additional exercise period shall be allowed, regardless of the vested status of the Options. 6.9 RESTRICTIONS ON SHARE TRANSFERABILITY. The Committee may impose such restrictions on any Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Option granted under this Article 6 as it may deem advisable, including, without limitation, restrictions under applicable federal securities laws, under the requirements of any stock exchange or market upon which such Shares are then listed and/or traded, and under any blue sky or state securities laws applicable to such Shares.

BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION Each Participant under the Plan may, from time to time, name any beneficiary or beneficiaries (who may be named contingently or successively) to whom any benefit under the Plan is to be paid in case of his or her death before he or she receives any or all of such benefit. Each such designation shall revoke all prior designations by the same Participant, shall be in a form prescribed by the Company, and will be effective only when filed by the Participant in writing with the Company during the Participant's lifetime. In the absence of any such designation, benefits remaining unpaid at the Participant's death shall be paid to the Participant's estate. ARTICLE 8.
