SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The accounting policies followed for the quarterly financial reporting are the same as those disclosed in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company's Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 2, 1999 for the fiscal year ended January 3, 1999. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with current year financial statement presentation. 2.

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. For year ended January 3, 1999, 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 thirty-nine weeks ended September 27, 1998. Page 6 of 18

7 WACKENHUT CORRECTIONS CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 4. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in financial statements. The components of the Company's comprehensive income are as follows (dollars in thousands): THIRTY-NINE WEEKS ENDED -------------------------------------- OCTOBER 3, 1999 SEPTEMBER 27, 1998 --------------- ------------------ Net income $15,890 $ 824 Foreign currency translation adjustments, net of income tax expense of $819 and $1,170, respectively. 1,223 (1,664) ------- ------- Comprehensive income (loss) $17,113 $ (840) ======= ======= 5. 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. 3, 1999 SEPT. 27, 1998 OCT. 3, 1999 SEPT. 27, 1998 ------------ -------------- ------------ -------------- Net Income..................... $ 5,694 $ 4,337 $15,890 $ 824 Basic earnings per share: Weighted average shares Outstanding.................. 21,593 22,145 21,699 22,188 ------- ------- ------- ------- Per share amount............... $ 0.26 $ 0.20 $ 0.73 $ 0.04 ======= ======= ======= ======= Diluted earnings per share: Weighted average shares outstanding.................. 21,593 22,145 21,699 22,188 Effect of dilutive securities: Employee and director stock options...................... 469 536 426 581 ------- ------- ------- ------- Weighted average shares assuming dilution............ 22,062 22,681 22,125 22,769 ======= ======= ======= ======= Per share amount............... $ 0.26 $ 0.19 $ 0.72 $ 0.04 ======= ======= ======= ======= Options to purchase 606,500 shares of the Company's common stock, with exercise prices ranging from $18.38 to $26.88 per share and expiration dates between 2006 and 2009, were outstanding at October 3, 1999, but were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because their effect would be anti-dilutive if exercised. At September 27, 1998, outstanding options to purchase 356,000 shares of the Company's common stock, with exercise prices ranging from $20.25 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 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 October 3, 1999, the Company had repurchased a total of 878,000 of the one million common shares authorized for repurchase at an average price per share of $19.13. For fiscal year 1999, the Company had repurchased 424,500 shares at an average price of $18.72. The repurchased shares had been recorded by the Company as treasury stock resulting in a reduction of shareholders' equity. 9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES In Texas, grand juries have been convened in Travis and Caldwell Counties and are taking testimony regarding alleged sexual misconduct and document tampering by individuals employed or formerly employed by the Company. At this time, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of these investigations and any potential impact on the financial position, net worth or results of operations of the Company. In New Mexico, the Company has been in discussions with the State's Department of Corrections and the Legislative Finance Committee to remedy serious operational issues at the Company's facilities in Lea and Guadalupe Counties. The Company has developed and presented to the State of New Mexico (the "State") recommended contract modifications with associated operational and fiscal resource needs for both facilities. The Company can give no assurances as to the ultimate acceptability of these contract modifications by the State. Additionally, the Company has submitted a proposal to the Federal Bureau of Prisons for the Lea County Correctional Facility for its possible use to hold low security criminal aliens. Page 8 of 18

9 WACKENHUT CORRECTIONS CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 10. SUBSEQUENT EVENT On August 31, 1999, the Company announced the mutual decision between the Company, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice State Jail Division (TDCJ) and Travis County, Texas to discontinue the Company's contract for the operation of the Travis County Community Justice Center. The contract was discontinued effective November 8, 1999. The Company is involved in discussions with TDCJ regarding close-out of all contract claims. The Company cannot predict the outcome of these discussions at this time. Page 9 of 18

10 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 November 4, 1999 press release announcing earnings 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 October 3, 1999 of $22.7 million increased $2.5 million from January 3, 1999. Cash provided by operating activities amounted to $13.8 million in the thirty-nine weeks ended October 3, 1999 ("Nine Months 1999") versus cash used in operating activities of $8.0 million in thirty-nine weeks ended September 27, 1998 ("Nine Months 1998") primarily reflecting lower balances in other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and deferred income taxes. Cash used in investing activities increased by $33.4 million in the Nine Months 1999 as compared to the same period in 1998. This increase is primarily due to higher capital expenditures of $13.1 million, representing investments in facilities and the purchase of equipment, and a decrease of $19.5 million in proceeds from the Page 10 of 18

11 WACKENHUT CORRECTIONS CORPORATION sale of assets to CPV. The Company received proceeds of $22.3 million for the sale of Lea County Correctional Facility to CPV in the Nine Months 1999 and had received $41.8 million for the sale of three facilities and the right to acquire 4 other facilities in the Nine Months 1998. Cash used in financing activities increased by $5.3 million in the Nine Months 1999 as compared to the same period in 1998 primarily reflecting the increase of $4.1 million in purchases of treasury stock and a decrease of $1.0 million in proceeds from the exercise of stock options. Working capital increased from $66.3 million at January 3, 1999 to $71.1 million at October 3, 1999 primarily due to the increase in the balance of accounts receivable offset by increases in payables and accrued expenses. As of October 3, 1999, approximately $82 million of the Company's $220 million operating lease facility, established to acquire and develop new correctional facilities, was outstanding for properties under development. The Company's access to capital and ability to compete for future capital intensive projects is dependent upon, among other things, its ability to meet certain financial covenants included in the $220 million operating lease facility and the Company's $30 million revolving credit facility. A substantial decline in the Company's financial performance as a result of an increase in operational expenses relative to revenue could negatively impact the Company's ability to meet these covenants, and could therefore, limit the Company's access to capital. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES In Texas, grand juries have been convened in Travis and Caldwell Counties and are taking testimony regarding alleged sexual misconduct and document tampering by individuals employed or formerly employed by the Company. At this time, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of these investigations and any potential impact on the financial position, net worth or results of operations of the Company. In New Mexico, the Company has been in discussions with the State's Department of Corrections and the Legislative Finance Committee to remedy serious operational issues at the Company's facilities in Lea and Guadalupe Counties. The Company has developed and presented to the State of New Mexico (the "State") recommended contract modifications with associated operational and fiscal resource needs for both facilities. The Company can give no assurances as to the ultimate acceptability of these contract modifications by the State. Additionally, the Company has submitted a proposal to the Federal Bureau of Prisons for the Lea County Correctional Facility for its possible use to hold low security criminal aliens. YEAR 2000 READINESS DISCLOSURE 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. 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, substantially completed by November 1999, also encompasses other systems including embedded technology, such as security systems. Page 11 of 18

12 WACKENHUT CORRECTIONS CORPORATION 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. 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 been achieved in the third quarter 1999, as were significantly all other computer systems. The Company has incurred costs related to Year 2000 compliance which 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, for achieving Year 2000 compliance were approximately $0.3 million for the Nine Months 1999. Significantly all of these costs were capitalized and are being amortized over the appropriate period. The Company does not anticipate incurring any additional material amounts related to Year 2000 compliance. These total 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 amount funded to achieve Year 2000 compliance excluded the Company's total costs 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 continuing to be 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. Notwithstanding the successful implementation of the Company's Year 2000 plan, the Company's operations could nevertheless be affected by the ability of third parties, such as customers, suppliers and utilities dealing with the Company to remediate their own Year 2000 issues over which the Company has no control. The Company expects to be Year 2000 compliant in 1999 for all major systems. The Company has assessed its risk and the full impact on operations should the most reasonably likely worse case Year 2000 scenario occur. In order to minimize any adverse impact on its operations of the Year 2000 problem, the Company has developed operational contingency plans. 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 3, 1999 AND THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED SEPTEMBER 27, 1998 Revenues increased by 43.3% to $112.0 million in the thirteen weeks ended October 3, 1999 ("Third Quarter 1999") from $78.2 million in the thirteen weeks ended September 27, 1998 ("Third Quarter 1998"). Approximately $26.8 million of the increase in revenues in Third Quarter 1999 compared to Third 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.
