THE GEO GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The GEO Group, Inc., a Florida corporation, and subsidiaries (the “Company” or “GEO”) is a fully-integrated real estate investment trust (“REIT”) specializing in the ownership, leasing and management of correctional, detention and reentry facilities and the provision of community-based services and youth services in the United States, Australia, South Africa and the United Kingdom. The Company owns, leases and operates a broad range of correctional and detention facilities including maximum, medium and minimum security prisons, immigration detention centers, minimum security detention centers, as well as community based reentry facilities. The Company develops new facilities based on contract awards, using its project development expertise and experience to design, construct and finance what it believes are state-of-the-art facilities that maximize security and efficiency. The Company provides innovative compliance technologies, industry-leading monitoring services, and evidence-based supervision and treatment programs for community-based parolees, probationers and pretrial defendants. The Company also provides secure transportation services for offender and detainee populations as contracted domestically and in the United Kingdom through its joint venture GEO Amey PECS Ltd. (“GEOAmey”). The Company’s worldwide operations include the management and/or ownership of approximately 85,500 beds at 106 correctional and detention facilities, including idle facilities, projects under development and recently awarded contracts, and also include the provision of community supervision services for more than 115,000 offenders and pre-trial defendants, including approximately 75,000 individuals through an array of technology products including radio frequency, GPS, and alcohol monitoring devices.

The Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and the instructions to Form 10-Q and consequently do not include all disclosures required by Form 10-K. 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 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 26, 2015 for the year ended December 31, 2014. The accompanying December 31, 2014 consolidated balance sheet has been derived from those audited financial statements. Additional information may be obtained by referring to the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial information for the interim periods reported in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been made. Results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year ending December 31, 2015, or for any other future interim or annual periods.

2. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

Soberlink, Inc.

On May 18, 2015, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, B.I. Incorporated (“BI”) acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of Soberlink, Inc. (“Soberlink”) for cash consideration of $24.4 million. Soberlink is a leading developer and distributor of mobile alcohol monitoring devices and services. The Company financed the acquisition of Soberlink with borrowings under its revolving credit facility. The allocation of the purchase price for this transaction has not yet been finalized. The primary areas of the preliminary purchase price allocations that are not yet finalized primarily relate to certain tangible assets and liabilities included in working capital. The Company expects to continue to obtain information to assist it in determining the fair value of the net assets acquired at the acquisition date during the measurement period. Measurement period adjustments that the Company determines to be material will be applied retrospectively to the period of acquisition. Transaction costs incurred in connection with the acquisition were not significant and have been recorded in general and administrative expenses.

##### Table of Contents

As shown below, the Company recorded $14.9 million of goodwill which is not deductible for tax purposes. The Company believes the acquisition of Soberlink provides strategic benefits and synergies with BI’s existing electronic monitoring services. These factors contributed to the goodwill that was recorded upon consummation of the transaction. The goodwill and net assets are included in the GEO Care business segment. Revenues and earnings from Soberlink from the date of acquisition through June 30, 2015 were not significant. Intangible assets consist of technology with an estimated useful life of 8 years and a customer relationship with an estimated useful life of 20 years.

The purchase price of approximately $24.4 million has been preliminarily allocated to the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of May 18, 2015 as follows (in ‘000’s):

Accounts receivable and other current assets |  | $ | 127 |
Inventory |  |  | 385 |
Intangible assets |  |  | 15,200 |
Total assets acquired |  |  | 15,712 |
Accounts payable |  |  | 18 |
Deferred tax and other tax liabilities |  |  | 6,176 |
Total identifiable net assets |  |  | 9,518 |
Goodwill |  |  | 14,884 |
Total consideration paid |  | $ | 24,402 |

Additionally, the Company has provided a loan in the amount of $2.2 million to an entity (Soberlink Healthcare, LLC) owned by the former shareholders of Soberlink. The loan matures on May 19, 2019 and bears interest at 10.00%. Proceeds from the loan were used by the seller to fund certain research and development activities of another entity owned by the former shareholders (DevCo, LLC). The Company has also entered into a license and development agreement with DevCo, LLC whereby the Company will pay an annual fee of $1.3 million in exchange for a lifetime, royalty free right to use any improvements to the existing technology resident in the product that Soberlink sells. The Company has determined that it has an implicit variable interest in DevCo, LLC and that DevCo, LLC is a variable interest entity. However, the Company has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of DevCo, LLC since it does not have the power to direct the activities of DevCo, LLC that most significantly impact DevCo, LLC’s economic performance. Nor does the Company have the obligation to absorb the losses of DevCo, LLC. Therefore, the Company does not consolidate this entity. The Company also has determined that Soberlink Healthcare, LLC. is a variable interest entity but the Company is not the primary beneficiary as it does not have the power to direct the activities of Soberlink Healthcare, LLC that most significantly impact its performance. Nor does the Company have the obligation to absorb the losses of Soberlink Healthcare, LLC. Therefore the Company also does not consolidate this entity.

On February 17, 2015, the Company acquired eight correctional and detention facilities (the “LCS Facilities”) totaling more than 6,500 beds from LCS Corrections Services, Inc., a privately-held owner and operator of correctional and detention facilities in the United States, and its affiliates (collectively, “LCS”). Pursuant to the terms of the definitive asset purchase agreement signed on January 26, 2015, the Company acquired the LCS Facilities for approximately $307.4 million at closing in an all cash transaction, excluding transaction related expenses of approximately $2.1 million that were recorded as general and administrative expense during the six months ended June 30, 2015. The Company also acquired certain tangible and intangible

assets and assumed certain accounts payable and accrued expenses pursuant to the asset purchase agreement. Additionally, LCS has the opportunity to receive an additional payment if the LCS Facilities exceed certain performance targets over an 18-month period ending August 31, 2016 (the “Earnout Payment”). The aggregate amount of the purchase price paid at closing and the Earnout Payment, if achieved, will not exceed $350 million. This contingent payment had zero fair value ascribed at the date of acquisition since management believes that it is remote possibility that such payment will be made. Approximately $298 million of outstanding debt related to the facilities was repaid at closing using the cash consideration paid by the Company. The Company did not assume any debt as the result of the transaction. The Company financed the acquisition of the LCS Facilities with borrowings under its revolving credit facility.

The allocation of the purchase price for this transaction has not yet been finalized. The primary areas of the preliminary purchase price allocations that are not yet finalized primarily relate to the fair value of certain property tax liabilities that were assumed. The Company expects to continue to obtain information to assist it in determining the fair value of the net assets acquired at the acquisition date during the measurement period. Measurement period adjustments that the Company determines to be material will be applied retrospectively to the period of acquisition.

The purchase price of $307.4 million has been preliminarily allocated to the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of February 17, 2015 as follows (in ‘000’s):

Accounts receivable |  | $ | 9,395 |
Prepaid expenses and other current assets |  |  | 183 |
Property and equipment |  |  | 119,726 |
Intangible assets |  |  | 73,200 |
Total assets acquired |  |  | 202,504 |
Accounts payable and accrued expenses |  |  | 2,442 |
Total identifiable net assets |  |  | 200,062 |
Goodwill |  |  | 107,341 |
Total consideration paid |  | $ | 307,403 |

As shown above, the Company recorded $107.3 million of goodwill which is fully deductible for tax purposes. The Company believes its acquisition of the LCS Facilities provides synergies and strategic benefits which further position the Company to meet the demand for correctional and detention bed space in the United States. These factors contributed to the goodwill that was recorded upon consummation of the transaction. The goodwill and net assets acquired are included in the U.S. Corrections & Detention business segment. Revenues and earnings of LCS from the date of acquisition through June 30, 2015 were not significant in relation to the Company’s total consolidated revenues and earnings.

Identifiable intangible assets purchased consist of facility management contracts and have an estimated useful life of 20 years.

3. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The Company has recorded goodwill as a result of its business combinations. Goodwill is recorded as the difference, if any, between the aggregate consideration paid for an acquisition and the fair value of the tangible assets and intangible assets acquired net of liabilities assumed, including noncontrolling interests. Changes in the Company’s goodwill balances from December 31, 2014 to June 30, 2015 are as follows (in thousands):

The Company has also recorded other finite and indefinite-lived intangible assets as a result of its various business combinations. Acquisitions completed in the first and second quarter of 2015 as discussed above in Note 2 – Business Combinations also led to additions to intangible assets. The Company’s intangible assets include customer relationships, facility management contracts, trade names and technology, as follows (in thousands):

|  | June 30, 2015 |  |  | December 31, 2014 |
|  | Weighted Average Useful Life (years) |  |  | Gross Carrying Amount |  |  | Accumulated Amortization |  |  | Net Carrying Amount |  |  | Gross Carrying Amount |  |  | Accumulated Amortization |  |  | Net Carrying Amount |

Amortization expense was $4.8 million and $9.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively. Amortization expense was $3.9 million and $7.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. Amortization expense was primarily related to the U.S. Corrections & Detention and GEO Care segments’ amortization of acquired facility management contracts. As of June 30, 2015, the weighted average period before the next contract renewal or extension for the acquired facility management contracts was approximately 1.9 years. Although the facility management contracts acquired have renewal and extension terms in the near term, the Company has historically maintained these relationships beyond the current contractual periods. The acquired contracts in the acquisition of the LCS Facilities do not have contract expiration dates and are perpetual in nature.

Estimated amortization expense related to the Company’s finite-lived intangible assets for the remainder of 2015 through 2019 and thereafter is as follows (in thousands):

Fiscal Year |  | Total Amortization Expense |
Remainder of 2015 |  | $ | 10,226 |

REIT Distributions

As a REIT, GEO is required to distribute annually at least 90% of its REIT taxable income (determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and by excluding net capital gain) and began paying regular quarterly REIT dividends in 2013. The amount, timing and frequency of future dividends, however, will be at the sole discretion of GEO’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and will be declared based upon various factors, many of which are beyond GEO’s control, including, GEO’s financial condition and operating cash flows, the amount required to maintain REIT status and reduce any income taxes that GEO otherwise would be required to pay, limitations on distributions in GEO’s existing and future debt instruments, limitations on GEO’s ability to fund distributions using cash generated through GEO’s taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”) and other factors that GEO’s Board may deem relevant.

Prospectus Supplement

On May 8, 2013, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a prospectus supplement related to the offer and sale from time to time of the Company’s common stock at an aggregate offering price of up to $100.0 million through sales agents. Sales of shares of the Company’s common stock under the prospectus supplement and equity distribution agreements entered into with the sales agents, if any, were to be made in negotiated transactions or transactions that were deemed to be “at the market” offerings as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933. On July 18, 2014, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a post-effective amendment to its shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (pursuant to which the prospectus supplement had been filed) as a result of the merger of the Company into GEO REIT effective June 27, 2014. During the year ended December 31, 2014, there were approximately 1.5 million shares of common stock sold under the prospectus supplement for net proceeds of $54.7 million. There were no shares of the Company’s common stock sold under the prospectus supplement during the six months ended June 30, 2015.

In September 2014, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a new automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3. On November 10, 2014, in connection with the new shelf registration, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a new prospectus supplement related to the offer and sale from time to time of the Company’s common stock at an aggregate offering price of up to $150.0 million through sales agents. Sales of shares of the Company’s common stock under the prospectus supplement and the equity distribution agreements entered into with the sales agents, if any, may be made in negotiated transactions or transactions that are deemed to be “at the market” offerings as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933. There were no shares of the Company’s stock issued under this prospectus supplement during the year ended December 31, 2014 nor the six months ended June 30, 2015.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) represents the change in shareholders’ equity from transactions and other events and circumstances arising from non-shareholder sources. The Company’s total comprehensive income is comprised of net income attributable to GEO, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, foreign currency translation adjustments that arise from consolidating foreign operations that do not impact cash flows, net unrealized gains and/or losses on derivative instruments, and pension liability adjustments within shareholders’ equity and comprehensive income (loss).

7. EQUITY INCENTIVE PLANS

The Board has adopted The GEO Group, Inc. 2014 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”), which was approved by the Company’s shareholders on May 2, 2014. The 2014 Plan replaced the 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”). As of the date the 2014 Plan was adopted, it provided for a reserve of 3,083,353 shares, which consisted of 2,000,000 new shares of common stock available for issuance and 1,083,353 shares of common stock that were available for issuance under the 2006 Plan prior to the 2014 Plan replacing it. The Company filed a Form S-8 registration statement related to the 2014 Plan on June 4, 2014, which was amended on July 18, 2014.

Stock Options

The Company uses a Black-Scholes option valuation model to estimate the fair value of each option awarded. For options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2015, the fair value was estimated using the following assumptions: (i) volatility of 24%; (ii) expected term of 5.00 years; (iii) risk free interest rate of 1%; and (iv) expected dividend yield of 5.75%. A summary of the activity of stock option awards issued and outstanding under Company plans is as follows for the six months ended June 30, 2015:

|  | Shares |  |  | Wtd. Avg. Exercise Price |  |  | Wtd. Avg. Remaining Contractual Term (years) |  |  | Aggregate Intrinsic Value |

Restricted Stock

Compensation expense for nonvested stock awards is recorded over the vesting period based on the fair value at the date of grant. Generally, the restricted stock awards vest in equal increments over either a three or four-year period. The fair value of restricted stock awards, which do not contain a market-based vesting condition, is determined using the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The Company has issued share-based awards with service-based, performance-based and market-based vesting criteria.

A summary of the activity of restricted stock outstanding is as follows for the six months ended June 30, 2015:

|  | Shares |  |  | Wtd. Avg. Grant Date Fair Value |
|  | (in thousands) |  |  |  |
Restricted stock outstanding at December 31, 2014 |  |  | 724 |  |  | $ | 30.97 |
Granted |  |  | 423 |  |  |  | 45.83 |
Vested |  |  | (156 | ) |  |  | 29.57 |
Forfeited/canceled |  |  | (15 | ) |  |  | 38.73 |
Restricted stock outstanding at June 30, 2015 |  |  | 976 |  |  | $ | 37.50 |

During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company granted approximately 423,000 shares of restricted stock to certain employees and executive officers. Of these awards, 148,500 are market and performance-based awards which will be forfeited if the Company does not achieve certain annual metrics during 2015, 2016 and 2017.

The vesting of these performance-based restricted stock grants are subject to the achievement by GEO of two annual performance metrics as follows: (i) up to 75% of the shares of restricted stock (“TSR Target Award”) can vest at the end of a three-year performance period if GEO meets certain total shareholder return (“TSR”) performance targets, as compared to the total shareholder return of a peer group of companies, during 2015, 2016 and 2017 and (ii) up to 25% of the shares of restricted stock (“ROCE Target Award”) can vest at the end of a three-year period if GEO meets certain return on capital employed (“ROCE”) performance targets in 2015, 2016 and 2017. These market and performance awards can vest at between 0% and 200% of the target awards for both metrics. The number of shares shown for the performance-based awards is based on the target awards for both metrics.

The metric related to ROCE is considered to be a performance condition. For share-based awards that contain a performance condition, the achievement of the targets must be probable before any share-based compensation expense is recorded. The Company reviews the likelihood of which target in the range will be achieved and if deemed probable, compensation expense is recorded at that time. If subsequent to initial measurement there is a change in the estimate of the probability of meeting the performance condition, the effect of the change in the estimated quantity of awards expected to vest is recognized by cumulatively adjusting compensation expense. If ultimately the performance targets are not met, for any awards where vesting was previously deemed probable, previously recognized compensation expense will be reversed in the period in which vesting is no longer deemed probable. The fair value of these awards was determined based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.

The metric related to TSR is considered to be a market condition. For share-based awards that contain a market condition, the probability of satisfying the market condition must be considered in the estimate of grant-date fair value and previously recorded compensation expense is not reversed if the market condition is never met. The fair value of these awards was determined based on a Monte Carlo simulation, which calculates a range of possible outcomes and the probabilities that they will occur, using the following key assumptions: (i) volatility of 21.3% to 21.4%; (ii) beta of 0.81 to 0.74; and (iii) risk free rates of 0.85% to 1.00%.

For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014, the Company recognized $5.0 million and $3.9 million, respectively, of compensation expense related to its restricted stock awards. As of June 30, 2015, the Company had $28.7 million of unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested restricted stock awards, including non-vested restricted stock awards with performance-based and market-based vesting, that are expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.4 years.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Company previously adopted The GEO Group Inc. 2011 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Plan”) which was approved by the Company’s shareholders. The purpose of the Plan, which is qualified under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Service Code of 1986, as amended, is to encourage stock ownership through payroll deductions by the employees of GEO and designated subsidiaries of GEO in order to increase their identification with the Company’s goals and secure a proprietary interest in the Company’s success. These deductions are used to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at a 5% discount from the then current market price. The Company has made available up to 500,000 shares of its common stock, which were registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 4, 2012, as amended on July 18, 2014, for sale to eligible employees under the Plan.

The Plan is considered to be non-compensatory. As such, there is no compensation expense required to be recognized. Share purchases under the Plan are made on the last day of each month. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, 5,679 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued in connection with the Plan.

8. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic income per common share is computed by dividing the income from continuing operations attributable to The GEO Group, Inc. shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding shares of common stock. The calculation of diluted income per common share is similar to that of basic income per common share except that the denominator includes dilutive common stock equivalents such as stock options and shares of restricted stock. Basic and diluted income from continuing operations per common share was calculated for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014 as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

|  | Three Months Ended |  |  | Six Months Ended |

Three Months

For the three months ended June 30, 2015, 249,506 weighted average shares of common stock underlying options were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS because the effect would be anti-dilutive. There were 264,500 common stock equivalents from restricted shares that were anti-dilutive.

For the three months ended June 30, 2014, 214,071 weighted average shares of common stock underlying options were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS because the effect would be anti-dilutive. There were 177,391 common stock equivalents from restricted shares that were anti-dilutive.

Six Months

For the six months ended June 30, 2015, 166,860 weighted average shares of common stock underlying options were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS because the effect would be anti-dilutive. There were 176,319 common stock equivalents from restricted shares that were anti-dilutive.

For the six months ended June 30, 2014, 147,776 weighted average shares of common stock underlying options were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS because the effect would be anti-dilutive. There were 177,318 common stock equivalents from restricted shares that were anti-dilutive.

9. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Australia – Fulham

The Company’s Australian subsidiary is a party to an interest rate swap agreement to fix the interest rate on its variable rate non-recourse debt (related to its Fulham facility) to 9.7%. The Company has determined the swap, which has a notional amount of AUD 50.9 million, payment and expiration dates, and call provisions that coincide with the terms of the non-recourse debt, to be an effective cash flow hedge. Accordingly, the Company records the change in the fair value of the interest rate swap in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of applicable income taxes. Total unrealized gains recorded in other comprehensive income, net of tax, related to this cash flow hedge were not significant for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. The total fair value of the swap liability as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was $0.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively, and is recorded as a component of other non-current liabities within the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. There was no material ineffectiveness of this interest rate swap for the periods presented. The Company does not expect to enter into any transactions during the next twelve months which would result in the reclassification into earnings or losses associated with this swap currently reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

Australia – Ravenhall

In September 2014, the Company’s Australian subsidiary entered into interest rate swap agreements to fix the interest rate on its variable rate non-recourse debt related to a prison project in Ravenhall, a locality near Melbourne, Australia to 3.3% during the design and construction phase and 4.2% during the project’s operating phase. The swaps’ notional amounts coincide with construction draw fixed commitments throughout the project. At June 30, 2015, the swaps had a notional value of approximately AUD 162.0 million, or $124.0 million, based on exchange rates at June 30, 2015, related to the outstanding draws for the design and construction phase and approximately AUD 466.3 million, or $357.1 million, based on exchange rates at June 30, 2015 related to future construction draws. The Company has determined that the swaps have payment, expiration dates, and provisions that coincide with the terms of the non-recourse debt and are therefore considered to be effective cash flow hedges. Accordingly, the Company records the change in the fair value of the interest rate swaps in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of applicable income taxes. Total unrealized gain recorded in other comprehensive income, net of tax, related to this cash flow hedge was approximately $1.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015. The total fair value of the swap liability as of June 30, 2015 was $17.8 million and is recorded as a component of Other Non-Current liabilities within the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. There was no material ineffectiveness for the periods presented. The Company does not expect to enter into any transactions during the next twelve months which would result in the reclassification into earnings or losses associated with these swaps currently reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

Additionally, upon completion and commercial acceptance of the prison project, the Department of Justice in the State of Victoria (the “State”) in accordance with the prison contract, will make a lump sum payment of AUD 310 million, or $237.4 million, based on exchange rates at June 30, 2015, towards a portion of the outstanding principal of the non-recourse debt. The Company’s Australian subsidiary also entered into interest rate cap agreements in September 2014 giving the Company the option to cap the interest rate on its variable non-recourse debt related to the project in the event that the completion of the prison project is delayed which could delay the State’s payment. The Company paid $1.7 million for the interest rate cap agreements. These instruments do not meet the requirements for hedge accounting, and therefore, changes in fair value of the interest rate caps are recorded in earnings. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded a loss of approximately $0.1 million related to a decrease in the fair value of the interest rate cap assets. As of June 30, 2015, the interest rate cap assets had a fair value of $0.4 million which is included in Other Non-Current Assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

##### Table of Contents

The Credit Agreement evidences a credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) consisting of a $296.3 million term loan (the “Term Loan”) bearing interest at LIBOR plus 2.50% (with a LIBOR floor of .75%), and a $700.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”) initially bearing interest at LIBOR plus 2.25% (with no LIBOR floor) together with AUD 225.0 million available solely for the issuance of financial letters of credit and performance letters of credit, in each case denominated in Australian Dollars (the “Australian LC Facility”). At June 30, 2015, the Company had approximately AUD 215 million in letters of credit outstanding under the Australian LC Facility in connection with certain performance and financing guarantees related to the Ravenhall prison project in Australia. Amounts to be borrowed by the Company under the Credit Agreement are subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions to borrowing. The Revolver component is scheduled to mature on August 27, 2019 and the Term Loan component is scheduled to mature on April 3, 2020.

These guarantees are secured by outstanding letters of credit under the Company’s Revolver as of June 30, 2015.

At June 30, 2015, the Company also had ten other letters of credit outstanding under separate international facilities relating to performance guarantees of its Australian subsidiary totaling $14.0 million.

South Africa

In connection with the creation of South African Custodial Services Pty. Limited (“SACS”), the Company entered into certain guarantees related to the financing, construction and operation of the prison. As of June 30, 2015, the Company guaranteed obligations amounting to 21.0 million South African Rand, or $1.7 million based on exchange rates as of June 30, 2015. In the event SACS is unable to maintain the required funding in a rectification account maintained for the payment of certain costs in the event of contract termination, a previously existing guarantee by the Company for the shortfall will need to be re-instated. The remaining guarantee of 21.0 million South African Rand is secured by outstanding letters of credit under the Company’s Revolver as of June 30, 2015.

In addition to the above, the Company has also agreed to provide a loan, if required, of up to 20 million South African Rand, or $1.6 million based on exchange rates as of June 30, 2015, referred to as the Shareholder’s Loan, to SACS for the purpose of financing SACS’ obligations under its contract with the South African government. No amounts have been funded under the standby facility, and the Company does not currently anticipate that such funding will be required by SACS in the future. The Company’s obligations under the Shareholder’s Loan expire upon the earlier of full funding or SACS’s release from its obligations under its debt agreements. The lenders’ ability to draw on the Shareholder’s Loan is limited to certain circumstances, including termination of the contract.

The Company has also guaranteed certain obligations of SACS to the security trustee for SACS’ lenders. The Company secured its guarantee to the security trustee by ceding its rights to claims against SACS in respect of any loans or other finance agreements, and by pledging the Company’s shares in SACS. The Company’s liability under the guarantee is limited to the cession and pledge of shares. The guarantee expires upon expiration of the cession and pledge agreements.

Canada

In connection with a design, build, finance and maintenance contract for a facility in Canada, the Company guaranteed certain potential tax obligations of a trust. The potential estimated exposure of these obligations is Canadian Dollar (“CAD”) 2.5 million, or $2.0 million, based on exchange rates as of June 30, 2015, commencing in 2017. The Company has a liability of $2.0 million related to this exposure included in Other Non-Current Liabilities as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. To secure this guarantee, the Company purchased Canadian dollar denominated securities with maturities matched to the estimated tax obligations in 2017 to 2021. The Company has recorded an asset equal to the current fair value of those securities included in Other Non-Current Assets as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 on its consolidated balance sheets.

14. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCMENTS

On July 9, 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) made a final decision to delay the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” from annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. ASU No. 2014-09 clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue and develops a common revenue standard for U.S. GAAP and IFRS. The Company is in the process of evaluating whether this standard would have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In April 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03 “Interest-Imputation of Interest,” which is intended to simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs. The amendments require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The amendments resulting from ASU No. 2015-03 are effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015 with early adoption permitted for financial statements that have not previously been issued. The implementation of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02 “Consolidation,” which modifies the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are variable interest entities (“VIEs”) or voting interest entities, eliminates the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership, affects the consolidation analysis of reporting entities that are involved with VIEs, particularly those that have fee arrangements and related party relationships and provides a scope exception from consolidation guidance for reporting entities with interests in legal entities that are required to comply with or operate in accordance with requirements that are similar to those in Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 for registered money market funds. The amendments resulting from ASU No. 2015-02 are effective for public business entities

Introduction

The following discussion and analysis provides information which management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our consolidated results of operations and financial condition. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of numerous factors including, but not limited to, those described above under “Forward-Looking Information”, those described below under “Part II – Item 1A. Risk Factors” and under “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. The discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

We are a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) specializing in the ownership, leasing and management of correctional, detention and reentry facilities and the provision of community-based services and youth services in the United States, Australia, South Africa, and the United Kingdom. We own, lease and operate a broad range of correctional and detention facilities including maximum, medium and minimum security prisons, immigration detention centers, minimum security detention centers, and community based reentry facilities. We offer counseling, education and/or treatment to inmates with alcohol and drug abuse problems at most of the domestic facilities we manage. We are also a provider of innovative compliance technologies, industry-leading monitoring services, and evidence-based supervision and treatment programs for community-based parolees, probationers and pretrial defendants.

Our worldwide operations include the management and/or ownership of approximately 85,500 beds at 106 correctional, detention and reentry facilities, including idle facilities, projects under development and recently awarded contracts, and also include the provision of community supervision services for more than 115,000 offenders and pre-trial defendants, including approximately 75,000 individuals through an array of technology products including radio frequency, GPS, and alcohol monitoring devices.

##### Table of Contents

We provide a diversified scope of services on behalf of our government clients:

| • |  | our correctional and detention management services involve the provision of security, administrative, rehabilitation, education and food services, primarily at adult male correctional and detention facilities;

| • |  | our community-based services involve supervision of adult parolees and probationers and the provision of temporary housing, programming, employment assistance and other services with the intention of the successful reintegration of residents into the community;

| • |  | our youth services include residential, detention and shelter care and community-based services along with rehabilitative and educational programs;

| • |  | our monitoring services provide our governmental clients with innovative compliance technologies, industry-leading monitoring services, and evidence-based supervision and treatment programs for community-based parolees, probationers and pretrial defendants; including services provided under the Intensive Supervision Appearance Program, which we refer to as ISAP, to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which we refer to as ICE, for the provision of services designed to improve the participation of non-detained aliens in the immigration court system;

| • |  | we develop new facilities using our project development experience to design, construct and finance what we believe are state-of-the-art facilities that maximize security and efficiency;

| • |  | we provide secure transportation services for offender and detainee populations as contracted domestically and internationally – our joint venture GEOAmey is responsible for providing prisoner escort and custody services in the United Kingdom, including all of Wales and England except London and the East of England; and

| • |  | our services are provided at facilities which we either own, lease or are owned by our customers.

For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014, we had consolidated revenues of $873.3 million and $806.0 million, respectively, and we maintained an average company wide facility occupancy rate of 93.1% including 82,646 active beds and excluding 3,740 beds marketed to potential customers for the six months ended June 30, 2015, and 96.1% including 71,794 active beds and excluding 5,756 idle beds marketed to potential customers for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

As a REIT, we are required to distribute annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and by excluding net capital gain) and we began paying regular quarterly REIT dividends in 2013. The amount, timing and frequency of future dividends, however, will be at the sole discretion of our Board of Directors (the “Board”) and will be declared based upon various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including, our financial condition and operating cash flows, the amount required to maintain REIT status and reduce any income taxes that we otherwise would be required to pay, limitations on distributions in our existing and future debt instruments, limitations on our ability to fund distributions using cash generated through our taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”) and other factors that our Board may deem relevant.

Reference is made to Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 26, 2015, for further discussion and analysis of information pertaining to our financial condition and results of operations as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.

Fiscal 2015 Developments

Contract Awards

We are currently marketing approximately 3,740 vacant beds at five of our idle facilities to potential customers. The carrying values of these idle facilities totaled approximately $34.8 million as of June 30, 2015, excluding equipment and other assets that can be easily transferred for use at other facilities.

On January 28, 2015, we announced that we signed a contract for the reactivation of our company-owned, 400-bed Mesa Verde Detention Facility (the “Mesa Verde Facility”) in California. The Mesa Verde Facility will house immigration detainees under an intergovernmental service agreement between the City of McFarland and U.S. Immigration Customs and Enforcement (“ICE”).

On February 18, 2015, we announced the closing of our previously announced acquisition of eight correctional and detention facilities (the “LCS Facilities”) totaling more than 6,500 beds from LCS Corrections Services, Inc. and its affiliates (collectively, “LCS”). Refer to Note 2 – Business Combinations included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

On April 27, 2015, we announced that our wholly-owned subsidiary, The GEO Group Australia Pty. Ltd (“GEO Australia”) signed a contract with the Department of Justice & Regulation in the State of Victoria, Australia for the continued management and operation of the Fulham Correctional Centre and the Fulham Nalu Challenge Community Unit (the “Centre”). The Centre has a contract capacity of 947 beds with a further increase in planned capacity under construction.

On April 28, 2015, we announced that we had begun to mobilize our company-owned 1,740-bed North Lake Correctional Facility (the “North Lake Facility”) located in Baldwin, Michigan. The decision to mobilize the North Lake Facility was made as a result of the current demand for out-of-state correctional bed space. The mobilization effort entails hiring staff and purchasing supplies in order to prepare the previously idle North Lake Facility to receive inmates.

On May 20, 2015, we announced that we signed a contract with the Vermont Department of Corrections for the out-of-state housing of up to 675 inmates at the company-owned North Lake Correctional Facility in Baldwin, Michigan.

On May 21, 2015, we announced that we signed a contract with the Washington Department of Corrections for the out-of-state housing of up to 1,000 inmates at the company-owned North Lake Correctional Facility in Baldwin, Michigan.

Critical Accounting Policies

The accompanying unaudited 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 as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. We routinely evaluate our 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. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, we did not experience any significant changes in estimates or judgments inherent in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. A summary of our significant accounting policies is contained in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and the notes to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

U.S. Corrections & Detention

Revenues increased in Second Quarter 2015 compared to Second Quarter 2014 primarily due to aggregate increases of $27.8 million resulting from: (i) the activation and intake of detainees at our Alexandria Staging facility in November 2014; (ii) the activation and intake of inmates at our McFarland Female Community Reentry facility; (iii) the activation and intake of inmates at our company-owned Mesa Verde facility; and (iv) the acquisition of the LCS Facilities in February 2015. We also experienced aggregate increases in revenues of $0.3 million at certain of our facilities primarily due to slight net increases in population, transportation services and/or rates.

The number of compensated mandays in U.S. Corrections & Detention facilities was approximately 5.1 million in Second Quarter 2015 and 4.7 million in Second Quarter 2014. We experienced an aggregate net increase of approximately 387,000 mandays as a result of our new contracts and business acquisition discussed above. These increases were partially offset by decreases resulting from lower populations at certain facilities. We look at the average occupancy in our facilities to determine how we are managing our available beds. The average occupancy is calculated by taking compensated mandays as a percentage of capacity. The average occupancy in our U.S. Corrections & Detention facilities was 93.2% and 97.3% of capacity in the Second Quarter 2015 and the Second Quarter 2014 respectively, excluding idle facilities.

##### Table of Contents

Average occupancy declined to 93.2% from 97.3% and was driven primarily by our acquisition and integration of eight correctional and detention LCS Facilities totaling more than 6,500 beds in February 2015. As we have previously disclosed, the LCS Facilities have been historically underutilized with current average occupancy rates of approximately 50%. Additionally, as we have previously discussed, federal populations tend to experience seasonal fluctuations primarily during the first quarter and part of the second quarter of each year. We believe that the uncertainty related to the fiscal year 2015 budget for the Department of Homeland Security during the first few months of 2015 may have also contributed to additional softness in federal populations.

GEO Care

Revenues increased slightly for GEO Care in Second Quarter 2015 compared to Second Quarter 2014 primarily due to new programs and program growth at our community based and reentry centers.

International Services

Revenues for International Services in Second Quarter 2015 compared to Second Quarter 2014 decreased by $15.7 million. Contributing to the decrease was the result of: (i) foreign exchange rate fluctuations of $(7.4) million resulting from the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against certain international currencies; (ii) a decrease of $6.2 million in our United Kingdom subsidiary due to the winding down of our Harmondworth management contract; and (iii) a decrease of $2.0 million primarily attributable to our Australian subsidiary related to population decreases.

Facility Construction & Design

The increase in revenues for our Facility Construction & Design services is due to the commencement of design and construction activity for our new Ravenhall Prison Contract executed in September 2014 with the Department of Justice in the State of Victoria, Australia.

Operating expenses consist of those expenses incurred in the operation and management of our correctional, detention and community based facilities.

U.S. Corrections & Detention

The increase in operating expenses for U.S. Corrections & Detention reflects an increase of $22.3 million due to (i) the activation and intake of detainees at our Alexandria Staging facility in November 2014; (ii) the activation and intake of inmates at our McFarland Female Community Reentry facility; (iii) the activation and intake of inmates at our company-owned Mesa Verde facility; (iv) the reactivation of our North Lake facility in Michigan; and (v) the acquisition of the LCS Facilities in February 2015. The timing of these activations and the corresponding start-up expenses resulted in an increase in our operating expenses as a percentage of segment revenue in Second Quarter 2015. We also experienced increases of $5.9 million at certain of our facilities primarily attributable to expenditures related to the expansion of the delivery of offender rehabilitation services under our GEO Continuum of Care platform, net population increases, increased transportation services and the variable costs associated with those increases.

##### Table of Contents

GEO Care

Operating expenses for GEO Care increased by $2.0 million during Second Quarter 2015 from Second Quarter 2014 primarily due to the following: (i) variable costs associated with increases in our electronic monitoring contracts and ISAP program at BI of $0.4 million; and (ii) new contracts and program growth at our community based and reentry centers of $1.6 million.

International Services

Operating expenses for International Services in Second Quarter 2015 compared to Second Quarter 2014 decreased by $16.4 million. Contributing to the decrease was (i) the result of foreign exchange rate fluctuations of $(6.6) million resulting from the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against certain international currencies; (ii) a decrease of $7.6 million in our United Kingdom subsidiary due to the winding down of our Harmondworth management contract; and (iii) a decrease of $2.2 million primarily attributable to our Australian subsidiary related to population decreases and the associated variable costs.

Equity in earnings of affiliates, presented net of income taxes, represents the earnings of SACS and GEOAmey in the aggregate. Overall, equity in earnings of affiliates during First Half 2015 compared to First Half 2014 was relatively consistent as a result of consistent performance by SACS and GEOAmey during the periods.

Financial Condition

Capital Requirements

Our current cash requirements consist of amounts needed for working capital, distributions of our REIT taxable income in order to maintain our REIT qualification, debt service, supply purchases, investments in joint ventures, and capital expenditures related to either the development of new correctional, detention and reentry facilities, or the maintenance of existing facilities. In addition, some of our management contracts require us to make substantial initial expenditures of cash in connection with opening or renovating a facility. Generally, these initial expenditures are subsequently fully or partially recoverable as pass-through costs or are billable as a component of the per diem rates or monthly fixed fees to the contracting agency over the original term of the contract. In connection with GEOAmey, our joint venture in the United Kingdom, we and our joint venture

partner have each provided a line of credit of £12 million, or $18.9 million, based on exchange rates as of June 30, 2015, for GEOAmey’s operations. As of June 30, 2015, $16.5 million was outstanding. In July 2015, GEOAmey made an additional principal payment towards the loan in the amount of £1.0 million.

We currently have contractual commitments for a number of projects using Company financing. We estimate that the cost of these existing capital projects will be approximately $221 million of which $88 million was spent through June 30, 2015. We estimate that the remaining capital requirements related to these capital projects will be $133 million which will be spent through 2017. Included in these commitments is a contractual commitment to provide a capital contribution towards the design and construction of a prison project in Ravenhall, a locality near Melbourne, Australia, in the amount of AUD 115 million, or $88.1 million, based on exchange rates as of June 30, 2015. This capital contribution is expected to be made in January 2017. Additionally, in connection with the Ravenhall Prison Project, the Company has a contractual commitment for construction of the facility and has entered into a syndicated facility agreement with National Australia Bank Limited to provide funding for the project up to AUD 791.0 million, or $605.7 million, based on exchange rates as of June 30, 2015.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Indebtedness

On August 27, 2014, we executed a second amended and restated credit agreement by and among us and GEO Corrections Holdings, Inc., as Borrowers, BNP Paribas, as Administrative Agent, and the lenders who are, or may from time to time become, a party thereto (the “Credit Agreement”).

The Credit Agreement evidences a credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) consisting of a $296.3 million term loan (the “Term Loan”) bearing interest at LIBOR plus 2.50% (with a LIBOR floor of .75%), and a $700.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”) initially bearing interest at LIBOR plus 2.25% (with no LIBOR floor) together with AUD 225 million available solely for the issuance of financial letters of credit and performance letters of credit, in each case denominated in Australian Dollars (the “Australian LC Facility”). At June 30, 2015, we had approximately AUD 215 million in letters of credit outstanding under the Australian LC Facility in connection with certain performance guarantees related to a prison project in Ravenhall, Australia. Amounts to be borrowed by us under the Credit Agreement are subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions to borrowing. The Revolver component is scheduled to mature on August 27, 2019 and the Term Loan component is scheduled to mature on April 3, 2020.

The Credit Agreement contains certain customary representations and warranties, and certain customary covenants that restrict our ability to, among other things (i) create, incur or assume any indebtedness, (ii) create, incur, assume or permit liens, (iii) make loans and investments, (iv) engage in mergers, acquisitions and asset sales, (v) make certain restricted payments, (vi) issue, sell or otherwise dispose of capital stock, (vii) engage in transactions with affiliates, (viii) allow the total leverage ratio to exceed 5.75 to 1.00, allow the senior secured leverage ratio to exceed 3.50 to 1.00 or allow the interest coverage ratio to be less than 3.00 to 1.00, (ix) cancel, forgive, make any voluntary or optional payment or prepayment on, or redeem or acquire for value any senior notes, except as permitted, (x) alter the business we conduct, and (xi) materially impair our lenders’ security interests in the collateral for its loans. The restricted payments covenant remains consistent with our election to be treated as a real estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, effective as of January 1, 2013.

Events of default under the Credit Agreement include, but are not limited to, (i) our failure to pay principal or interest when due, (ii) our material breach of any representation or warranty, (iii) covenant defaults, (iv) liquidation, reorganization or other relief relating to bankruptcy or insolvency, (v) cross default under certain other material indebtedness, (vi) unsatisfied final judgments over a specified threshold, (vii) certain material environmental liability claims which have been asserted against us, and (viii) a change in control. We were in compliance with all of the covenants of the Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2015.

As of June 30, 2015, we had $294.0 million in aggregate borrowings outstanding, net of discount, under the Term Loan and $453.0 million in borrowings under the Revolver, and approximately $58.9 million in letters of credit which left $188.1 million in additional borrowing capacity under the Revolver.

On September 25, 2014, we completed an offering of $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes. The notes will mature on October 15, 2024 and have a coupon rate and yield to maturity of 5.875%. Interest is payable semi-annually in cash in arrears on April 15 and October 15, which commenced on April 15, 2015. The 5.875% Senior Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by all our restricted subsidiaries that guarantee obligations. The 5.875% Senior Notes rank equally in right of payment with any unsecured, unsubordinated indebtedness of the Company and the guarantors, including our 6.625% senior notes due 2021, the 5.875% senior notes due 2022, the 5.125% senior notes due 2023, and the guarantors’ guarantees thereof, senior in right of payment to any future indebtedness of ours and the guarantors that is expressly subordinated to the 5.875% Senior Notes and the guarantees, effectively junior to any secured indebtedness of ours and the guarantors, including indebtedness under our senior credit facility, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness, and structurally junior to all obligations of our subsidiaries that are not guarantors. The sale of the 5.875% Senior Notes was registered under our automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 filed on September 12, 2014. Refer to Note 10 – Debt of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further discussion.

In connection with a new design and build prison project agreement in Australia with the State of Victoria, in September 2014, we entered into a syndicated facility agreement (the “Construction Facility”) with National Australia Bank Limited to provide debt financing for construction of the project. The Construction Facility provides for non-recourse funding up to AUD 791.0 million, or $605.7 million, based on exchange rates as of June 30, 2015. Construction draws will be funded throughout the project according to a fixed utilization schedule as defined in the syndicated facility agreement. The term of the Construction Facility is through October 2019 and bears interest at a variable rate quoted by certain Australian banks plus 200 basis points. After October 2019, the Construction Facility will be converted to a term loan with payments due quarterly beginning in 2019 through 2041. In accordance with the terms of the Construction Facility, upon completion and commercial acceptance of the prison, in accordance with the prison contract, the State will make a lump sum payment of AUD 310 million, or $237.4 million, based on exchange rates as of June 30, 2015, towards a portion of the outstanding principal. The remaining outstanding principal balance will be repaid over the term of the operating agreement. As of June 30, 2015, $124.0 million was outstanding under the Construction Facility. We also entered into interest rate swap and interest rate cap agreements related to our non-recourse debt in connection with the project. Refer to Note 9 – Derivative Financial Instruments of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further discussion.

On October 3, 2013, we completed an offering of $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.875% Senior Notes. The 5.875% Senior Notes will mature on January 15, 2022 and have a coupon rate and yield to maturity of 5.875%. Interest is payable semi-annually on January 15 and July 15 each year, which commenced on January 15, 2014. The proceeds received from the 5.875% Senior Notes were used, together with cash on hand, to fund the repurchase, redemption or other discharge of our 7.75% Senior Notes and to pay related transaction fees and expenses. Refer to Note 10 – Debt of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further discussion.

On March 19, 2013, we completed an offering of $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.125% Senior Notes. The 5.125% Senior Notes will mature on April 1, 2023 and have a coupon rate and yield to maturity of 5.125%. Interest is payable semi-annually on April 1 and October 1 each year, which commenced on October 1, 2013. A portion of the proceeds received from the 5.125% Senior Notes were used on the date of the financing to repay the prior revolver credit draws outstanding under the prior senior credit facility. Refer to Note 10 – Debt of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further discussion.

In February 2011, we completed an offering of $300.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our 6.625% Senior Notes. The 6.625% Senior Notes will mature on February 15, 2021 and have a coupon rate and yield to maturity of 6.625%. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15, which commenced on August 15, 2011. The proceeds received from the 6.625% Senior Notes were used together with $150.0 million of borrowing under our senior credit facility at the time to fund the acquisition of BI and pay related costs.

In addition to the debt outstanding under the Credit Facility, the 6.625% Senior Notes, the 5.125% Senior Notes, the 5.875.% Senior Notes due 2022 and 5.875% Senior Notes due 2024 discussed above, we also have significant debt obligations which, although these obligations are non-recourse to us, require cash expenditures for debt service. Our significant debt obligations

could have material consequences. See “Risk Factors-Risks Related to Our High Level of Indebtedness” in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. We are exposed to various commitments and contingencies which may have a material adverse effect on our liquidity. We also have guaranteed certain obligations for certain of our international subsidiaries. These non-recourse obligations, commitments and contingencies and guarantees are further discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

We consider opportunities for future business and/or asset acquisitions as we deem appropriate when market conditions present opportunities. If we are successful in our pursuit of any new projects, our cash on hand, cash flows from operations and borrowings under the existing Credit Facility may not provide sufficient liquidity to meet our capital needs and we could be forced to seek additional financing or refinance our existing indebtedness. There can be no assurance that any such financing or refinancing would be available to us on terms equal to or more favorable than our current financing terms, or at all. In the future, our access to capital and ability to compete for future capital intensive projects will also be dependent upon, among other things, our ability to meet certain financial covenants in the indenture governing the 6.625% Senior Notes, the indenture governing the 5.125% Senior Notes, the indenture governing the 5.875% Senior Notes due 2022, the indenture governing the 5.875% Senior Notes due 2024 and our Credit Agreement. A substantial decline in our financial performance could limit our access to capital pursuant to these covenants and have a material adverse affect on our liquidity and capital resources and, as a result, on our financial condition and results of operations. In addition to these foregoing potential constraints on our capital, a number of state government agencies have been suffering from budget deficits and liquidity issues. While we expect to be in compliance with our debt covenants, if these constraints were to intensify, our liquidity could be materially adversely impacted as could our ability to remain in compliance with these debt covenants.

Prospectus Supplement

On May 8, 2013, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a prospectus supplement related to the offer and sale from time to time of the Company’s common stock at an aggregate offering price of up to $100.0 million through sales agents. Sales of shares of the Company’s common stock under the prospectus supplement and equity distribution agreements entered into with the sales agents, if any, were to be made in negotiated transactions or transactions that were deemed to be “at the market” offerings as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933. On July 18, 2014, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a post-effective amendment to its shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (pursuant to which the prospectus supplement had been filed) as a result of the merger of the Company into GEO REIT effective June 27, 2014. During the year ended December 31, 2014, there were approximately 1.5 million shares of common stock sold under the prospectus supplement for net proceeds of $54.7 million. There were no shares of the Company’s common stock sold under the prospectus supplement during the six months ended June 30, 2015.

In September 2014, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a new automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3. On November 10, 2014, in connection with the new shelf registration, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a new prospectus supplement related to the offer and sale from time to time of the Company’s common stock at an aggregate offering price of up to $150.0 million through sales agents. Sales of shares of the Company’s common stock under the prospectus supplement and the equity distribution agreements entered into with the sales agents, if any, may be made in negotiated transactions or transactions that are deemed to be “at the market” offerings as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933. There were no shares of the Company’s stock issued under this prospectus supplement during the year ended December 31, 2014 nor the six months ended June 30, 2015.

As a REIT, we are subject to a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that we annually distribute to our shareholders an amount equal to at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (determined before the deduction for dividends paid and by excluding any net capital gain). Generally, we expect to distribute all or substantially all of our REIT taxable income so as not to be subject to the income or excise tax on undistributed REIT taxable income. The amount, timing and frequency of distributions will be at the sole discretion of our Board of Directors and will be based upon various factors.

##### Table of Contents

We plan to fund all of our capital needs, including distributions of our REIT taxable income in order to maintain our REIT qualification, and capital expenditures, from cash on hand, cash from operations, borrowings under our Credit Facility and any other financings which our management and Board of Directors, in their discretion, may consummate. Currently, our primary source of liquidity to meet these requirements is cash flow from operations and borrowings under the $700.0 million Revolver. Our management believes that cash on hand, cash flows from operations and availability under our Senior Credit Facility will be adequate to support our capital requirements for 2015 through 2017 as disclosed under “Capital Requirements” above.

Executive Retirement Agreement

We have a non-qualified deferred compensation agreement with our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). The current agreement, as amended, provides for a lump sum payment upon retirement, no sooner than age 55. As of January 1, 2013, our CEO had reached age 55 and was eligible to receive the payment upon retirement. If our CEO had retired as of June 30, 2015, we would have had to pay him $7.4 million. Based on our current capitalization, we do not believe that making this payment would materially adversely impact our liquidity.

Cash Flow

Cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2015 was $47.0 million, compared to $41.3 million as of December 31, 2014.

Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities amounted to $79.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 versus cash provided by operating activities of $132.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. Cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2015 was positively impacted by net income attributable to GEO, non-cash expenses such as depreciation and amortization, amortization of debt issuance costs, and stock-based compensation expense. Equity in earnings of affiliates negatively impacted cash. Changes in accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other assets decreased in total by $14.0 million, representing a positive impact on cash. The decrease was primarily driven by the timing of billings and collections. Changes in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities decreased by $1.2 million which negatively impacted cash. The decrease was primarily driven by the timing of payments.

Additionally, cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was negatively impacted by an increase in changes in contract receivable of $46.6 million. This increase relates to costs incurred and estimated earnings in excess of billings related to the prison project in Ravenhall, Australia. The contract receivable is expected to grow as construction services are performed and will continue to have a negative impact on cash from operating activities until the balance is ultimately settled with the State. In accordance with the contract, the project will not be billed out until completion and commercial acceptance of the facility by the State.

Cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was positively impacted by increases in net income attributable to GEO, non-cash expenses such as depreciation and amortization, amortization of debt issuance costs and stock-based compensation expense. Equity in earnings of affiliates negatively impacted cash. Changes in accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other assets was not significant. Changes in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities increased by $12.9 million which positively impacted cash. The increase was primarily due to a prepayment from GEO Care LLC of $6.5 million in connection with the termination of its services and license agreement as well as the timing of payments.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities of $407.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015 was primarily the result of our business acquisitions of the LCS Facilities and Soberlink in the amount of $307.4 million and $24.4 million, respectively, and capital expenditures of $71.7 million. Cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2014 of $62.5 million was primarily the result of capital expenditures of $41.1 million and cash paid for the business acquisition of Protocol in the amount of $13.0 million.

Financing Activities

Cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2015 amounted to $334.9 million compared to cash used in financing activities of $85.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014. Cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2015 was primarily the result of proceeds from long-term debt of $518.0 million under our Revolver which was primarily used to fund the acquisition of the LCS Facilities. Additionally, we had proceeds from non-recourse debt of $49.7 million related to construction draws for our prison project in Ravenhall, Australia. These increases were partially offset by a decrease for dividends paid of $92.3 million and payments on long-term debt of $134.7 million. Cash used in financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2014 was primarily the result of dividend payments of $82.7 million.

Non-GAAP Measures

Funds from Operations (“FFO”) is a widely accepted supplemental non-GAAP measure utilized to evaluate the operating performance of real estate investment trusts. It is defined in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, which defines FFO as net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders (computed in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles), excluding real estate related depreciation and amortization, excluding gains and losses from the cumulative effects of accounting changes, extraordinary items and sales of properties, and including adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.

We also present Normalized Funds from Operations, or Normalized FFO, and Adjusted Funds from Operations, or AFFO, supplemental non-GAAP financial measures of real estate investment trusts’ operating performances.

Normalized FFO is defined as FFO adjusted for certain items which by their nature are not comparable from period to period or that tend to obscure the Company’s actual operating performance, including for the periods presented start-up expenses and M&A related expenses, net of tax.

AFFO is defined as Normalized FFO adjusted by adding non-cash expenses such as non-real estate related depreciation and amortization, stock based compensation expense, the amortization of debt costs and other non-cash interest, and non-cash mark-to-market adjustments for derivative instruments and by subtracting recurring consolidated maintenance capital expenditures.

Because of the unique design, structure and use of our correctional facilities, we believe that assessing the performance of our correctional facilities without the impact of depreciation or amortization is useful and meaningful to investors. Although NAREIT has published its definition of FFO, companies often modify this definition as they seek to provide financial measures that meaningfully reflect their distinctive operations. We have modified FFO to derive Normalized FFO and AFFO that meaningfully reflect our operations. Our assessment of our operations is focused on long-term sustainability. The adjustments we make to derive the non-GAAP measures of Normalized FFO and AFFO exclude items which may cause short-term fluctuations in income from continuing operations but have no impact on our cash flows, or we do not consider them to be fundamental attributes or the primary drivers of our business plan and they do not affect our overall long-term operating performance.

We may make adjustments to FFO from time to time for certain other income and expenses that do not reflect a necessary component of our operational performance on the basis discussed above, even though such items may require cash settlement. Because FFO, Normalized FFO and AFFO exclude depreciation and amortization unique to real estate as well as non-operational items and certain other charges that are highly variable from year to year, they provide our investors with performance measures that reflect the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, per diem rates, operating costs and interest costs, providing a perspective not immediately apparent from income from continuing operations. We believe the presentation of FFO, Normalized FFO and AFFO provide useful information to investors as they provide an indication of our ability to fund capital expenditures and expand our business. FFO, Normalized FFO and AFFO provide disclosure on the same basis as that used by our management and provide consistency in our financial reporting, facilitate internal and external comparisons of our historical operating performance and our business units and provide continuity to investors for comparability purposes. Additionally, FFO, Normalized FFO and AFFO are widely recognized measures in our industry as a real estate investment trust.

Revenue

Domestically, we continue to pursue a number of opportunities for corrections and detention facilities. Continued need for corrections facilities in various states and the need for bed space at the federal level are two of the factors that have contributed to these opportunities.

During the first half of 2015, we activated three existing company-owned facilities. In March of 2015, we began the intake process at the company-owned, 400-bed Mesa Verde Detention Facility located in Bakersfield, California under an intergovernmental agreement between the City of McFarland, California and ICE. In early June of 2015, we started the intake process at the company-owned, 1,940-bed Great Plains Correctional Facility in Hinton, Oklahoma under a new 10-year contract with the Federal Bureau of Prisons, which we announced in late December 2014. In late June, we also began the intake of inmates from the State of Vermont at our company-owned, 1,748-bed North Lake Correctional Facility in Baldwin, Michigan under a five-year agreement with the Vermont Department of Corrections for the out-of-state housing of up to 675 inmates. Under the contract, we will provide comprehensive correctional management services, including the provision of industry-leading, evidence-based offender rehabilitation programs under the ‘GEO Continuum of Care.’ We have also entered into a five-year agreement with the Washington Department of Corrections for the out-of-state housing of up to 1,000 inmates at the North Lake Correctional Facility. In addition to the reactivation of these three existing company-owned facilities, on July 1, 2015, we activated a company-owned, 640-bed expansion at the Adelanto Detention Facility in Adelanto, California under the existing contractual structure with the City of Adelanto and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Furthermore, we expect to complete the development of a 626-bed expansion to the company-owned, 532-bed Karnes County Residential Center in Texas by the end of 2015 under an amendment to our existing contract with Karnes County, Texas and the existing intergovernmental service agreement between Karnes County and ICE. We will finance, develop, and manage the $36 million expansion, which will increase the facility’s total capacity to 1,158 beds.

We continue to be encouraged by opportunities as discussed above; however any positive trends may, to some extent, be adversely impacted by government budgetary constraints in the future. While state finances overall are stable and revenue collections are meeting expectations in a majority of states, at least 12 states expect a budget shortfall in fiscal year 2015, according to a survey conducted in the fall of 2014 by the National Conference of State Legislatures. As a result of budgetary pressures, state correctional agencies may pursue a number of cost savings initiatives which may include reductions in per diem rates and/or the scope of services provided by private operators. These potential cost savings initiatives could have a material adverse impact on our current operations and/or our ability to pursue new business opportunities. Additionally, if state budgetary constraints, as discussed above, persist or intensify, our state customers’ ability to pay us may be impaired and/or we may be forced to renegotiate our management contracts on less favorable terms and our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows could be materially adversely impacted. We plan to actively bid on any new projects that fit our target profile for profitability and operational risk. Although we are pleased with the overall industry outlook, positive trends in the industry may be offset by several factors, including budgetary constraints, unanticipated contract terminations, contract non-renewals, and/or contract re-bids. Although we have historically had a relatively high contract renewal rate, there can be no assurance that we will be able to renew our expiring management contracts on favorable terms, or at all. Also, while we are pleased with our track record in re-bid situations, we cannot assure that we will prevail in any such future situations.

Internationally, we are exploring a number of opportunities in our current markets and will continue to actively bid on any opportunities that fit our target profile for profitability and operational risk. In September 2014, we announced that a consortium led by us and comprised of The GEO Group Australia Pty. Ltd., John Holland Construction and Honeywell signed a contract with the Department of Justice in the State of Victoria for the development and operation of a 1,300-bed capacity prison in Ravenhall, Australia. The Ravenhall facility will be developed under a public-private partnership financing structure with a capital contribution from us of approximately AUD 115 million and we anticipate returns on investment consistent with our company-owned facilities.

With respect to our reentry services, electronic monitoring services, and youth services business conducted through our GEO Care business segment, we are currently pursuing a number of business development opportunities. Relative to opportunities for community-based reentry services, we are working with our existing federal, state, and local correctional clients to leverage new opportunities for both residential reentry facilities as well as non-residential day reporting centers. We continue to expend resources on informing state and local governments about the benefits of public-private partnerships, and we anticipate that there will be new opportunities in the future as those efforts begin to yield results. We believe we are well positioned to capitalize on any suitable opportunities that become available in this area.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses consist of those expenses incurred in the operation and management of our contracts to provide services to our governmental clients. Labor and related cost represented 56.2% of our operating expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2015. Additional significant operating expenses include food, utilities and inmate medical costs. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, operating expenses totaled 74.6% of our consolidated revenues. Our operating expenses as a percentage of revenues in 2015 will be impacted by the opening of any new or existing idle facilities as a result of the cost of transitioning and/or start-up operations related to a facility opening. During 2015, we will incur carrying costs for facilities that are currently vacant. As of June 30, 2015, our worldwide operations include the management and/or ownership of approximately 85,500 beds at 106 correctional, detention, reentry, youth services and community-based facilities including idle facilities, and also include the provision of monitoring of approximately 70,000 offenders in a community-based environment on behalf of approximately 900 federal, state and local correctional agencies located in all 50 states.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of corporate management salaries and benefits, professional fees and other administrative expenses. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, general and administrative expenses totaled 7.3% of our consolidated revenues. We expect general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues in 2015 to remain consistent or decrease as a result of cost savings initiatives and decreases in nonrecurring costs related to our REIT conversion. We expect business development costs to remain consistent or increase slightly as we pursue additional business development opportunities in all of our business lines. We also plan to continue expending resources from time to time on the evaluation of potential acquisition targets.

Idle Facilities

We are currently marketing approximately 3,740 vacant beds at five of our idle facilities to potential customers. The annual carrying cost of our idle facilities in 2015 is estimated to be $14.5 million, including depreciation expense of $1.4 million. As of June 30, 2015, these facilities had a net book value of $34.8 million. We currently do not have any firm commitment or agreement in place to activate these facilities. Historically, some facilities have been idle for multiple years before they received a new contract award. These idle facilities are included in the U.S. Corrections & Detention segment. The per diem rates that we charge our clients often vary by contract across our portfolio. However, if all of these idle facilities were to be activated using our U.S. Corrections & Detention average per diem rate in 2015 (calculated as the U.S. Corrections & Detention revenue divided by the number of U.S. Corrections & Detention mandays) and based on the average occupancy rate in our U.S. Corrections & Detention facilities for 2015, we would expect to receive incremental annualized revenue of approximately $76 million and an annualized increase in earnings per share of approximately $0.20 to $0.25 per share based on our average U.S. Corrections and Detention operating margin.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to market risks related to changes in interest rates with respect to our Credit Facility. Payments under the Credit Facility are indexed to a variable interest rate. Based on borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility of $747.0 million and $58.9 million in outstanding letters of credit, as of June 30, 2015, for every one percent increase in the average interest rate applicable to the Credit Facility, our total annual interest expense would increase by $7.5 million.

We have entered into certain interest rate swap arrangements for hedging purposes, fixing the interest rate on our Australian non-recourse debt related to the Fulham facility to 9.7%. We have also entered into certain interest rate swap arrangements for hedging purposes, fixing the interest rates on our Australian non-recourse debt related to our Ravenhall Project to 3.3% during the design and construction phase and 4.2% during the operating phase. The difference between the floating rate and the swap rate on these instruments is recognized in interest expense within the respective entity. Because the interest rates with respect to these instruments are fixed, a hypothetical one percent change in the current interest rate would not have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

Additionally, we invest our cash in a variety of short-term financial instruments to provide a return. The majority of our cash is invested internationally. These instruments generally consist of highly liquid investments with original maturities at the date of purchase of three months or less. While these instruments are subject to interest rate risk, a hypothetical 100 basis point increase or decrease in market interest rates would not have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

We are also exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates between the U.S. dollar, and the Australian dollar, the Canadian dollar, the South African Rand and the British Pound currency exchange rates. Based upon our foreign currency exchange rate exposure at June 30, 2015, every 10 percent change in historical currency rates would have approximately a $3.6 million effect on our financial position and approximately a $0.7 million impact on our results of operations during the First Half 2015.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, referred to as the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this report. On the basis of this review, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, has concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to give reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in our reports filed with the SEC, under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, in a manner that allows timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

It should be noted that the effectiveness of our system of disclosure controls and procedures is subject to certain limitations inherent in any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the exercise of judgment in designing, implementing and evaluating the controls and procedures, the assumptions used in identifying the likelihood of future events, and the inability to eliminate misconduct completely. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that our disclosure controls and procedures will detect all errors or fraud. As a result, by its nature, our system of disclosure controls and procedures can provide only reasonable assurance regarding management’s control objectives.
