<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Basis of Presentation  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Cornell Companies,&nbsp;Inc. (the "Company") pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all normal and recurring adjustments and disclosures
necessary for a fair presentation of these financial statements have been included. Estimates were used in the preparation of these financial statements. Actual results could differ from those
estimates. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's 2001 Annual Report on Form&nbsp;10-K, as
amended, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Restatement  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company's lease financing arrangement under its 2000 Credit Facility is a "synthetic lease". A synthetic lease is a form of lease financing that qualifies for
operating lease accounting treatment and, when all criteria pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States are met, is accounted for "off-balance sheet". Under
such a structure, the owner/lessor of the properties ("Synthetic Lease Investor") may be considered a virtual special purpose entity when it obtains debt and equity capital to finance the acquisition
or construction of project(s) and leases the project(s) to a company. This financial structure was used to finance the construction of the New Morgan Academy completed in the first quarter of 2001,
the acquisition of the Taylor Street Center building in early 1999, and the construction-to-date costs of the Moshannon Valley Correctional Center. The synthetic lease used by
the Company to finance the above projects was executed in December&nbsp;1998 and was amended in July&nbsp;2000 whereby the available financing was increased from $40.0&nbsp;million to
$100.0&nbsp;million and the lease term extended to July&nbsp;2005. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under
current accounting rules, a Synthetic Lease Investor treated as a virtual special purpose entity, as described above, must maintain at least a 3.0% equity ownership interest in the
property throughout the life of the lease. The Company's synthetic lease documents, as amended in July&nbsp;2000, provide for the equity investor to fund 3.5% of project costs. There are provisions
in the lease and the related credit documents for the lenders and Synthetic Lease Investor to fund and be paid interest, yield and fees. Under current GAAP rules, the payment of any yield and/or fees
to the investors is required to be treated as a return of capital rather than a return on capital. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Synthetic Lease Investor for the above mentioned projects received payments to act as co-arranger in the structure of the initial $40.0&nbsp;million synthetic lease
facility in 1998 and in July&nbsp;2000 when the synthetic lease facility was increased to $100.0&nbsp;million. Although the Company does not believe the lessor of the synthetic lease is a special
purpose entity, the lessor is considered as a virtual special purpose entity under certain accounting interpretations. Therefore, these payments discussed above could be interpreted to reduce the
Synthetic Lease Investor's equity ownership in the above leased projects below the required 3.0% level as of the second quarter of 2000. Pursuant to this interpretation, the Company's synthetic leases
no longer qualified for off-balance sheet treatment as of the beginning of the second quarter of 2000. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities and the related results of operations of the
synthetic lease owned by the Synthetic Lease Investor have been consolidated in the Company's financial statements as of that time. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As
a result of consolidating the synthetic lease assets and liabilities, the Company's accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect, among other things, the depreciation
expense for the </FONT></P>

associated properties and interest expense related to the Synthetic Lease Investor's debt, instead of rent expense. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On
August&nbsp;14, 2001, the Company completed an arms' length sale and leaseback transaction involving 11 of its real estate facilities (the "2001 Sale and Leaseback Transaction").
The Company sold the facilities to an unaffiliated company, Municipal Corrections Finance, L.P. ("MCF"), and is leasing them back for an initial period of 20&nbsp;years, with approximately
25&nbsp;years of additional renewal period options. The Company received $173.0&nbsp;million of proceeds from the sale of these facilities. The proceeds were used to repay $120.0&nbsp;million of
the Company's long-term debt and the remainder was invested in short-term securities, $43.1&nbsp;million of these securities being invested in a separate account to be held
as collateral for the Company's Credit Facility (See Note&nbsp;5). </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;MCF
is an unaffiliated special purpose entity ("SPE"). Under current accounting rules, a SPE must maintain at least a 3.0% equity ownership interest throughout the life of the lease. In
September&nbsp;2001, the Company entered into a retainer agreement with affiliates of the equity investor in MCF ("MCF Equity Investor"), and in November&nbsp;2001, paid the MCF Equity Investor a
retainer fee of $3.65&nbsp;million for financial advisory services related to potential future financing projects and the strategic development of the Company's business. This retainer will be
applied, on a mutually agreed upon basis, toward future contingent fees associated with investment banking services that are expected to be provided by the MCF Equity Investor to the Company. Under
certain accounting interpretations, this
retainer has been deemed to reduce the equity investment in MCF to below the required 3.0% level. As a result, the Company has consolidated the assets, liabilities, and the results of operations of
MCF in the Company's accompanying consolidated financial statements as of August&nbsp;14, 2001. As a result of consolidating the assets and liabilities of MCF, the Company's consolidated financial
statements reflect, among other things, the depreciation expense on the associated properties and interest expense on the bond debt of MCF used to finance MCF's acquisition of the 11 facilities in the
2001 Sale and Leaseback Transaction, instead of rent expense. For income tax purposes, the Company recognizes rent expense pursuant to the terms of its lease with MCF and does not consolidate the
assets, liabilities or the results of operations of MCF. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;All
applicable amounts relating to the aforementioned restatements have been reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
cumulative losses of MCF exceeded the recorded minority interest of MCF during the first quarter of 2002. The cumulative losses of the Synthetic Lease Investor exceeded the recorded
minority interest of the Synthetic Lease Investor during the third quarter of 2001. Since the cumulative losses of MCF and the Synthetic Lease Investor exceed the equity which was recorded as minority
interest by the Company, the excess losses can no longer be allocated to the minority interest in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations in 2002. In the nine months ended
September&nbsp;30, 2002, the Company recorded a charge of approximately $0.6&nbsp;million as a result of a distribution made by MCF to its equity investors. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Proposed
rules regarding the consolidation of special purpose entities are expected to become effective in the first quarter of 2003. The proposed rules, if adopted, are expected to also
result in the Synthetic Lease and the 2001 Sale and Leaseback Transaction to continue to be consolidated for reporting purposes. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In June&nbsp;2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No.&nbsp;143, "Accounting for
Asset Retirement Obligations" ("SFAS&nbsp;143") which requires entities to recognize the fair value of a liability for legal obligations associated with the retirement of tangible
long-lived assets in the period incurred, if a reasonable estimate of the fair value can be made. The Company is required to adopt SFAS&nbsp;143 at the beginning of 2003. Management </FONT></P>

believes there will be no material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or stockholders' equity as a result of the adoption of this new pronouncement. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
August&nbsp;2001, the FASB issued SFAS No.&nbsp;144, "Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets ("SFAS&nbsp;144"), which addresses financial
accounting and reporting for the impairment of
long-lived assets to be held and used and for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale. Under SFAS&nbsp;144, the presentation of discontinued operations is broadened to
include a component of an entity rather than being limited to a segment of a business. Additionally, accrual of future operating losses of discontinued businesses is no longer permitted. The Company
adopted SFAS&nbsp;144 during the first quarter of 2002 with no impact on the current results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
April&nbsp;2002, the FASB issued SFAS No.&nbsp;145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No.&nbsp;4, 44, 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No.&nbsp;13, and Technical Corrections",
effective for fiscal years beginning after May&nbsp;15, 2002. SFAS No.&nbsp;145 rescinds FASB Statement No.&nbsp;4, 44, 64 and amends SFAS No.&nbsp;13, "Accounting for Leases", to eliminate an
inconsistency between the required accounting for sale-leaseback transactions and the required accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to
sale-leaseback transactions. Additionally, SFAS No.&nbsp;145 will require gains and losses on extinguishment of debt to be classified as income or loss from continuing operations rather
than as extraordinary items as previously required under SFAS No.&nbsp;4. The Company will adopt SFAS No.&nbsp;145 as required on January&nbsp;1, 2003. As a result, any gain or loss from the
extinguishment of debt will be recorded as other income or expense from continuing operations before income taxes. Any gain or loss on the extinguishment of debt that was classified as an
extraordinary item in prior periods will be reclassified in accordance with this statement. The Company recorded an extraordinary charge of approximately $0.5&nbsp;million, net of related tax of
$0.3&nbsp;million, in the three months ended September&nbsp;30, 2001 for the early retirement of debt. Additionally, in the fourth quarter of 2001, the Company recognized an extraordinary charge
of $2.9&nbsp;million, net of tax of $2.0&nbsp;million, due to the write-off of the related unamortized deferred debt issuance costs, debt discount and assessed contractual prepayment
fees as a result of the early retirement of the Company's Subordinated Notes. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
July&nbsp;2002, the FASB issued SFAS No.&nbsp;146., "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities ("SFAS&nbsp;146"), which addresses the financial accounting
and reporting associated with exit or disposal activities initiated after December&nbsp;31, 2002. Under SFAS&nbsp;146, costs associated with an exit or disposal activity should be recognized and
measured at the fair value in the period in which the liability is incurred rather than at the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan. The Company is required to adopt SFAS&nbsp;146 for
all exit and disposal activities initiated after December&nbsp;31, 2002. Management believes there will be no material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or
stockholders' equity as result of the adoption of this new pronouncement. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In June&nbsp;2001, the FASB issued SFAS No.&nbsp;141, "Business Combinations" and SFAS No.&nbsp;142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", effective for
fiscal years beginning after December&nbsp;15, 2001. The new rules under these statements require that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business
combinations initiated after June&nbsp;30, 2001 and specifies the criteria for the recognition of intangible assets separately from goodwill. Under the new rules, goodwill is no longer amortized but
is subject to an impairment test annually. For the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2001, goodwill amortization was approximately $485,000. Other intangible assets that meet the new criteria
under the new rules will continue to be amortized over their remaining useful lives. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Company's 2000 Credit Facility, as amended, provides for borrowings of up to $45.0&nbsp;million under a revolving line of credit. The commitment amount is reduced by
$1.6&nbsp;million quarterly beginning in July&nbsp;2002. Accordingly, as of September&nbsp;30, 2002, the Company had $43.4&nbsp;million available under the amended 2000 Credit Facility. The
amended 2000 Credit Facility matures in July&nbsp;2005 and bears interest, at the election of the Company, at either the prime rate plus a margin of 2.0%, or a rate which is 3.0% above the
applicable LIBOR rate. The amended 2000 Credit Facility is collateralized by substantially all of the Company's assets, including the stock of all of the Company's subsidiaries; does not permit the
payment of cash dividends; and requires the Company to comply with certain leverage, net worth and debt service coverage covenants. Additionally, the Company is limited to $2.5&nbsp;million annually
for the repurchase of its common stock. Due to the consolidation, for financial reporting
purposes, of MCF as of August&nbsp;14, 2001, the Company was not in compliance with certain leverage ratio covenants. On April&nbsp;5, 2002, the 2000 Credit Facility was amended to waive such
non-compliance and to revise the covenants to levels that accommodate the Company's consolidation of special purpose entities in its consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations
and cash flows. As a result of this waiver and amendment, the Company recognized a pre-tax charge to interest expense of approximately $825,000 during the first quarter of 2002 for lender
and other professional fees. Additionally, on April&nbsp;11, 2002, the Company obtained a waiver from the lenders under the amended 2000 Credit Facility regarding the pending contractual default for
the Moshannon Valley Correctional Center's construction delay. This waiver is effective through September&nbsp;2003. Included in the Company's cash and cash equivalents at September&nbsp;30, 2002
is approximately $39.2&nbsp;million that is invested in a separate account that is available to the Company for investment purposes or working capital with the approval of the lenders under the
amended 2000 Credit Facility. This separate account is maintained, in part, to assure future credit availability. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Additionally,
the amended 2000 Credit Facility provides the Company with the ability to enter into synthetic lease agreements for the acquisition or development of operating facilities.
This synthetic lease financing arrangement provides for funding to the lessor under the operating leases of up to $100.0&nbsp;million, of which approximately $50.5&nbsp;million had been utilized
as of September&nbsp;30, 2002. The Company expects to utilize the remaining capacity under this synthetic lease financing arrangement to complete construction of the Moshannon Valley Correctional
Center. The Synthetic Lease Investor's Note&nbsp;A and Note&nbsp;B have total credit commitments of $81.4&nbsp;million and $15.1&nbsp;million, respectively. The Company pays commitment fees at
a rate of 0.5% annually for the unused portion of the synthetic lease financing capacity. The Synthetic Lease Investor's Notes A and B are cross-collateralized with the Company's revolving line of
credit and contain cross-default provisions. Under current accounting rules and new rules expected to be effective in the first quarter of 2003, utilization of this synthetic lease financing
arrangement to complete the construction of the Moshannon Valley Correctional Center will also result in the consolidation of the facility and the related financing in the Company's financial
statements. </FONT></P>

August&nbsp;14, 2001, MCF issued $197.4&nbsp;million of 8.47% taxable revenue bonds due August&nbsp;1, 2016. Interest on the bonds is payable by MCF semi-annually on
February&nbsp;1 and August&nbsp;1, commencing February&nbsp;1, 2002, and principal are due in escalating annual installments commencing August&nbsp;1, 2002. </FONT></P>

November&nbsp;30, 2001 the Company completed an offering of its common stock. Net proceeds from the sale of 3,450,000 of newly issued shares were approximately $43.8&nbsp;million.
The Company used a portion of the proceeds to repay outstanding borrowings of $39.4&nbsp;million and retire the notes under the Company's Note and Equity Purchase Agreements (the "Subordinated
Notes") entered into in July&nbsp;2000. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As
a result of the early retirement of the Subordinated Notes during the fourth quarter of 2001, the Company recognized an extraordinary charge of $2.9&nbsp;million, net of income tax
of $2.0&nbsp;million, due to the write-off of the related unamortized deferred debt issuance costs, debt discount and assessed contractual prepayment fees. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In August&nbsp;2001, MCF completed a bond offering to finance the 2001 Sale and Leaseback Transaction. In connection with this bond offering, two reserve fund
accounts were established by MCF pursuant to the terms of the indenture: (1)&nbsp;MCF's Debt Service Reserve Fund, aggregating $23.8&nbsp;million at September&nbsp;30, 2002, was established to
make payments on MCF's outstanding bonds in the event the Company (as lessee) should fail to make the scheduled rental payments to MCF and (2)&nbsp;MCF's Debt Service Fund, aggregating
$5.9&nbsp;million at September&nbsp;30, 2002, used to accumulate the monthly lease payments that MCF receives from the Company until such funds are used to pay MCF's semi-annual bond
interest and annual bond principal payments. Both reserve fund accounts are subject to the agreements with the MCF Equity Investors whereby guaranteed rates of return of 3.0% and 5.08%, respectively,
are provided for in the balance of the Debt Service Reserve Fund and the Debt Service Fund. The guaranteed rates of return are characterized as cash flow hedge derivative instruments. At inception,
the derivatives had an aggregate fair value of $4.0&nbsp;million, which has been recorded as a decrease to the equity investment in MCF made by the MCF Equity Investors (MCF Minority Interest) and
as deferred income (a liability account) in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the fair value of the derivative instruments are recorded as an adjustment to deferred income and
reported as a component of other comprehensive income. At September&nbsp;30, 2002, the fair value of the derivative instruments was approximately $1.5&nbsp;million. As a result, the </FONT></P>

connection with MCF's bond offering, the MCF Equity Investor provided a guarantee of the Debt Service Reserve Fund if a bankruptcy of the Company were to occur and a trustee for the

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The New Morgan Academy was completed and became operational in two phases during the fourth quarter of 2000 and the first quarter of 2001. During the current
year, the New Morgan Academy experienced a reduction in occupancy as a result of budget appropriation reductions of a significant customer in Pennsylvania. On September&nbsp;27, 2002, the Company
announced plans to close the New Morgan Academy. The Company consented to relinquish its license issued by the Pennsylvania
Department of Public Welfare in lieu of the department implementing its decision to revoke the facility's provisional license due to operating incidents at the facility. The Company is currently
relocating the residents of the New Morgan Academy to other facilities and is considering several options ranging from the sale of the facility to utilization of the facility for another type of
program. The Company will maintain a small staff to maintain the facility while the Company considers its options for the use or sale of the facility. The Company expects to incur operating expenses
of approximately $150,000 per month for payroll, property taxes and other operating costs from the time the existing program ceases until the facility is utilized for an alternative program or is
sold. Additionally, the Company is incurring interest expense of approximately $135,000 per month related to the borrowings on the facility and depreciation expense of approximately $46,000 per month
for the building. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
carrying value of the property and equipment at the New Morgan Academy was approximately $31.3&nbsp;million at September&nbsp;30, 2002. Currently, management of the Company
believes that its long-lived assets at the New Morgan Academy are recoverable either from the cash flows of an alternative program operating at the facility or upon the sale or lease of
the facility to a third party, and accordingly, pursuant to the provisions of SFAS&nbsp;144, an impairment allowance is not deemed necessary as of September&nbsp;30, 2002. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
April&nbsp;1999, the Company was awarded a contract to design, build and operate a 1,095 bed prison for the FBOP in Moshannon Valley, Pennsylvania (the "Moshannon Valley
Correctional Center"). Construction and activation activities commenced immediately. In June&nbsp;1999, the FBOP issued a Stop-Work Order pending a re-evaluation of its
environmental documentation supporting the decision to award the contract. The environmental study was completed with a finding of no significant impact and the Stop-Work Order was lifted
by the FBOP on August&nbsp;9, 2001. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
September&nbsp;1999, the Company received correspondence from the Office of the Attorney General of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania indicating its belief that the operation of a
private prison in Pennsylvania is unlawful. The Company and the FBOP have had, and continue to have, discussions with the Attorney General's staff regarding these and related issues. Management
anticipates that these discussions will be resolved in the near-term. As a result of these issues, the Company has not re-commenced its construction efforts. As of
September&nbsp;30, 2002, the Company had incurred approximately $15.4&nbsp;million for construction and land development costs and capitalized interest for the Moshannon Valley Correctional
Center. According to the FBOP contract, as amended, the Company must have completed the construction of the facility by November&nbsp;15, 2002. The Company will not have completed construction
within that time frame. The Company is currently obtaining contract amendments monthly from the FBOP. The Company anticipates obtaining another long-term contract amendment from the FBOP

Company is not able to negotiate a contract amendment with the FBOP, then the FBOP may have the right to assert that the Company has not completed construction of the facility within the time frame
provided in the FBOP contract, as amended. In the event that the FBOP desires to continue with the construction of the Moshannon Valley Correctional Center, management expects that the contract will
be amended to address cost and construction timing matters resulting from the extended delay. In the event that the FBOP decides not to continue with the construction of the Moshannon Valley
Correctional Center and terminates the contract, management believes that the Company has the right
to and will recover its invested costs. In the event any portion of these costs are determined not to be recoverable upon contract termination by the FBOP, such costs will be expensed, net of any
amounts that could be recovered from the litigation of the related assets. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;At
September&nbsp;30, 2002, accounts receivable include costs totaling approximately $1.4&nbsp;million for direct costs incurred by the Company since the issuance of the
Stop-Work Order in June&nbsp;1999 for payroll and other operating costs related to the Moshannon Valley Correctional Center. These costs were incurred with the understanding that such
costs would be reimbursed by the FBOP. Although no formal written agreement exists, management believes that these costs will be reimbursed by the FBOP in the near term. In the event any portion of
these costs are determined not to be reimbursable, such costs will be expensed in the period such determination is made. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>9.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Earnings Per Share  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.
Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution from common stock equivalents such as stock options and warrants. For the three months ended September&nbsp;30, 2002, there were 745,003 shares ($12.58
average price) and for the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2002 and 2001, there were 419,829 shares ($13.86 average price) and 83,702 ($15.00 average price), respectively, of stock options that
were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because to do so would have been anti-dilutive. There were no anti-dilutive shares for the three months ended September 30,&nbsp;2001. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>10.&nbsp;&nbsp;Deferred Bonus Plan  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;At September&nbsp;30, 2002, restricted assets and other current assets included approximately $431,000 and $299,000, respectively, representing amounts
deposited on behalf of individual participants into a rabbi trust account under the Company's deferred bonus plan. At December&nbsp;31, 2001, restricted assets included approximately
$3.6&nbsp;million of such deposits. The investments of the rabbi trust represent assets of the Company and are included in the accompanying balance sheets based on the nature of the assets held.
Assets placed into the rabbi trust are irrevocable; therefore they are restricted as to the Company's use under the terms of the trust and the deferred bonus plan. For the three months ended
September&nbsp;30, 2002, approximately $1.3&nbsp;million was paid from plan assets as a result of the termination of the Company's president from the plan due to his resignation in
September&nbsp;2002. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company and certain officers and directors have been named as defendants in four lawsuits and four derivative actions during 2002. The plaintiffs in these
cases have not quantified their claim of damages and the outcome of the matters discussed above cannot be predicted with certainty. However, based on the Company's assessment of the information

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;One of the directors of the Company is a partner in a law firm that provides legal services to the Company. The Company pays customary legal fees for such
services. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On
July&nbsp;8, 1996, the Company's President and the Company founder, currently a Director of the Company, each exercised options to purchase an aggregate 82,750 and 137,100,
respectively, of shares of Class&nbsp;A Common Stock and Class&nbsp;B Common Stock at an aggregate price of $257,003 and $543,798, respectively. In connection with each exercise, each officer
entered into a promissory note with the Company for the respective aggregate exercise amounts. The promissory notes, as amended in July&nbsp;2000, bear interest at an annual rate of 6.63%, mature in
June&nbsp;2004, are full recourse and collateralized by shares of the Company's common stock. In September&nbsp;2002, the Company's President resigned and repaid $283,000 representing the accrued
interest and a portion of his outstanding principal loan balance. At September&nbsp;30, 2002, the balance due from the Company's former president aggregated approximately $98,000 and the balance due
from the Company's founder aggregated approximately $812,000. The Company purchased at fair value 35,000 shares of its common stock from the Company's former president at a cost of approximately
$283,000 with proceeds received from the repayment of the accrued interest and a portion of the outstanding loan balance in September&nbsp;2002. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Effective
September&nbsp;1, 1999, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with the Company's founder, currently a Director of the Company. As compensation for services, the
Company agreed to an annual salary of at least $255,000 for each of the first four years of the seven-year initial term of the consulting agreement with an annual salary of at least
$180,000 for each of the last three years of the seven- year initial term. The Company has an option to renew the consulting agreement for an additional three-year term at an annual salary
of at least $300,000 for each of the three years of the renewal term. As additional compensation, the Company agreed to an annual bonus, subject to certain limitations, equal to $75,000 during the
first four years of the initial term and an annual bonus of $60,000 during the last three years of the initial term and during any renewal term. The Company also agreed to grant options to purchase an
aggregate 120,000 shares of the Company's common stock in
four equal annual installments beginning September&nbsp;1, 2000. The options have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date of grant and vest at the
time such options are granted, subject to certain limitations on exercise. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As
part of the consulting agreement discussed above, the Company entered into a non-compete agreement with this Director. The non-compete agreement has a term of
10&nbsp;years and the Company agreed to a $10,000&nbsp;monthly fee related to the non-compete agreement for the seven-year initial term of the consulting agreement. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Additionally,
the Company maintains a key-man life insurance policy for this Director. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Company derives substantially all its revenues from providing corrections, treatment and educational services outsourced by federal, state and local government agencies in the United
States.
Revenues for the Company's services are generally recognized on a per diem rate based upon the number of occupant days or hours served for the period, on a guaranteed
take-or-pay basis or on a cost-plus reimbursement basis. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Factors

levels customary in the respective geographic areas, (3)&nbsp;whether the proposed facility is to be leased or purchased and (4)&nbsp;the anticipated average occupancy levels that the Company
believes could reasonably be maintained. </FONT></P>

anticipated changes in operating costs over the term of the contract, and the Company's ability to increase contract revenues. A decline in occupancy of certain juvenile division facilities may have
a more significant impact on operating results than the adult divisions due to the higher per diem revenues of certain juvenile facilities. The Company has experienced and expects to continue to
experience interim period operating margin differences due to the number of calendar days in the period, higher payroll taxes in the first half of the year, and salary and wage increases that are
incurred prior to certain contract revenue increases. The Company has experienced higher employee insurance costs in the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2002 as compared with the same period of
the prior year due to rising health care costs. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Company is responsible for all facility operating expenses, except for certain debt service and lease payments with respect to the facilities for which the Company has only a
management contract (11 facilities in operation at September&nbsp;30, 2002). </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A
majority of the Company's facility operating expenses consist of fixed costs. These fixed costs include lease and rental expense, insurance, utilities and depreciation. As a result,
when the Company commences operation of new or expanded facilities, fixed operating expenses increase. The amount of the Company's variable operating expenses, including food, medical services,
supplies and clothing, depend on occupancy levels at the facilities operated by the Company. The Company's largest single operating expense, facility payroll expense and related employment taxes and
costs, has both a fixed and a variable component. The Company can adjust the staffing and payroll to a certain extent based on occupancy at a facility, but a minimum fixed number of employees is
required to operate and maintain any facility regardless of occupancy levels. Personnel costs are subject to increase in tightening labor markets based on local economic and other conditions. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Following
a contract award, the Company incurs pre-opening and start-up expenses including payroll, benefits, training and other operating costs prior to opening
a new or expanded facility and during the
period of operation while occupancy is ramping up. These costs vary by contract. Since pre-opening and start-up costs are factored into the revenue per diem rate that is
charged to the contracting agency, the Company typically expects to recover these upfront costs over the life of the contract. Because occupancy rates during a facility's start-up phase
typically result in capacity under-utilization for at least 90 to 180&nbsp;days, the Company may incur additional post-opening start-up costs. The Company does not anticipate
post-opening start-up costs at facilities operating under any future contracts with the FBOP because these contracts are currently take-or-pay, meaning
that the FBOP will pay the Company at least 95.0% of the contractual monthly revenue once the facility opens regardless of actual occupancy. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Newly
opened facilities are staffed according to contract requirements when the Company begins receiving offenders or clients. Offenders or clients are typically assigned to a newly
opened facility on a phased-in basis over a one- to six-month period, although certain programs require a longer time period to reach break-even
occupancy levels. The Company incurs start-up operating losses at new facilities until break-even occupancy levels are reached. Although the Company typically recovers these
upfront costs over the life of the contract, quarterly results can be substantially affected by the timing of the commencement of operations as well as development and construction of new facilities. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Working
capital requirements generally increase immediately prior to the Company's commencing management of a new or expanded facility as the Company incurs start-up costs
and purchases necessary equipment and supplies before facility management revenue is realized. </FONT></P>

and administrative expenses consist primarily of costs for the Company's corporate and administrative personnel who provide senior management, finance, accounting, human
resources, payroll, and information systems, costs of business development and outside professional fees. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon the consolidated financial statements of the Company, which have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements require that management make certain estimates and judgments
that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. Management of the Company evaluates its estimates on
an on-going basis, based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these
estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The assets and liabilities and the results of operations of the synthetic lease owned by the Synthetic Lease Investor and of MCF have been
consolidated in the Company's accompanying consolidated financial statements. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Management
of the Company believes the following critical accounting policies affect its more significant adjustments and estimates used in the preparation of the Company's consolidated
financial statements. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Company extends credit to the governmental agencies and other parties contracted with in the normal course of business. Further, management of the Company regularly reviews
outstanding receivables, and provides estimated losses through an allowance for doubtful accounts. In evaluating the adequacy of this allowance for doubtful accounts, management makes judgments
regarding its customers' ability to make required payments, economic events and other factors. As the financial condition of these parties change, circumstances develop or additional information
becomes available, adjustments to the allowance for doubtful accounts may be required. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Company evaluated realization of property and equipment pursuant to the provision of SFAS No.&nbsp;144. In connection with the Company's evaluation, management makes judgments
regarding future operating results and cash flows associated with individual facilities. Additionally, should management decide to sell a facility, realization is evaluated based on the estimated
sales price. As discussed in Note&nbsp;7 to the financial statements, the Company is currently evaluating alternatives for the New Morgan Academy and negotiating a revised contract with the FBOP on
the Moshannon Valley Correctional Center. Realization of the Company's investment in both of these facilities is based on managements' judgements, legislative activities, economic events and other
factors. Management has also evaluated the realization of its other facilities and does not believe that any impairment exists related to any of the Company's facilities as of September&nbsp;30,
2002. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the difference between the book and tax basis of the Company's net assets. In providing for deferred taxes, management considers
current tax regulations, estimates of future taxable income and available tax planning strategies. If tax regulations, operating results or the ability to implement tax planning strategies vary,
adjustments to the carrying value of deferred tax assets and liabilities may be required. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Company maintains insurance coverage for various aspects of its business and operations. The Company retains a portion of the losses that occur through the use of deductibles and
retention under the self- insurance programs. Management regularly reviews the estimates of reported and unreported claims and provides for losses through insurance reserves. As claims
develop and additional information becomes available, adjustments to loss reserves may be required. </FONT></P>

ended September&nbsp;30, 2001 due principally to the Company's termination of the Santa Fe County Adult Detention Center contract as of September&nbsp;30, 2001. The decrease in revenue was offset,
in part, by an increase in revenue due to per diem rate increases realized in March&nbsp;2002. Additionally, the revenues recognized from two California facilities decreased $0.8&nbsp;million in
the three months ended September&nbsp;30, 2002 as compared to the same period of the prior year. The Company's contracts with the California Department of Corrections ("CDC"), for the operation of
the Baker Community Correctional Facility and the Leo Chesney Community Correctional Facility were set to expire June&nbsp;30, 2002, and were not expected to be renewed by the CDC due to the lack of
governmental budget appropriations. Facility shut down procedures were implemented and occupancy levels at both facilities significantly decreased in June&nbsp;2002. At the Baker Community
Correctional Center, all clients had been removed as of June&nbsp;30, 2002. In late June&nbsp;2002, the CDC informed the Company that a contract renewal for both facilities would be granted
pending final budget appropriations and began returning previously removed state equipment to both facilities. The CDC began referring clients to the Leo Chesney Community Correctional Center and the
Baker Community Correctional Center in July and mid-August&nbsp;2002, respectively. The final California state
budget was approved in late September&nbsp;2002 and included the appropriations for both of these two facilities. As of November&nbsp;14, 2002, the Company did not have a signed contract with the
CDC, but was operating both facilities under implied contracts and expects to obtain a signed contract in the near term. Revenue related to these two facilities was $980,000 for the three months ended

<P><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2001 Common Stock Offering.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On November&nbsp;30, 2001 the Company completed an offering of its common stock. Net proceeds
to the Company from the sale of the 3,450,000 newly issued shares were approximately $43.8&nbsp;million. The Company used a portion of the proceeds to repay outstanding borrowings of
$39.4&nbsp;million and retired the notes under its Note and Equity Purchase Agreement (the "Subordinated Notes") entered into in July&nbsp;2000. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2001 Sale and Leaseback Transaction.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On August&nbsp;14, 2001, the Company completed an arms' length sale and leaseback
transaction involving 11 of its real estate facilities (the "2001 Sale and Leaseback Transaction"). The Company sold the facilities to an unaffiliated company, Municipal Corrections Finance L.P.
("MCF"), and is leasing them back for an initial period of 20&nbsp;years, with approximately 25&nbsp;years of additional renewal period options. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;MCF
is an unaffiliated special purpose entity ("SPE"). Under current accounting rules, an SPE must maintain at least a 3.0% ownership interest throughout the life of the lease. In
September&nbsp;2001, the Company entered into a retainer agreement with an affiliate of the equity investor in MCF ("MCF Equity Investor"), and in November&nbsp;2001, paid a retainer fee of
$3.65&nbsp;million for financial advisory services related to potential future financing projects and the strategic development of the Company's business. The retainer will be applied on a mutually
agreed upon basis toward future contingent fees associated with investment banking services that are expected to be provided to the Company. Under certain accounting interpretations, this retainer has
been deemed to reduce the equity investment in MCF to below the required 3.0% level. As a result, the Company has consolidated the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of MCF in the
Company's accompanying consolidated financial statements beginning August&nbsp;14, 2001. As a result of consolidating the assets and liabilities of MCF, the Company's consolidated financial
statements reflect, among other things, the depreciation expense on the associated properties and interest expense on the bond debt of MCF used to finance MCF's acquisition of the 11 facilities in the
2001 Sale and Leaseback Transaction, instead of rent expense. For income tax purposes, the Company recognizes rent expense pursuant to the terms of the lease with MCF and does not consolidate the
assets, liabilities or results of operations of MCF. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On
August&nbsp;14, 2001, MCF issued $197.4&nbsp;million of 8.47% bonds due August&nbsp;2016. The Company used $120.0&nbsp;million of the $173.0&nbsp;million of proceeds
received by the Company from MCF from the sale of the 11 facilities to repay the Company's $120.0&nbsp;million long-term senior debt and invested the remaining proceeds of approximately
$43.1&nbsp;million in short-term securities. The Company also repaid the $50.0&nbsp;million of outstanding 7.74% Senior Secured Notes with a portion of the proceeds from the 2001 Sale
and Leaseback Transaction. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Company's accompanying consolidated financial statements include the assets and liabilities and the results of operations of MCF as of August&nbsp;14, 2001 and thereafter. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Long-Term Credit Facilities.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company's amended 2000 Credit Facility provides for borrowings of up to

$43.4&nbsp;million as of September&nbsp;30, 2002. The amended 2000 Credit Facility matures in July&nbsp;2005 and bears interest, at the election of the Company, at either the prime rate plus a

debt service coverage covenants. Due in part to the consolidation of MCF as of August&nbsp;14, 2001, the Company was not in compliance with certain covenants required by the 2000 Credit Facility.
On April&nbsp;5,
2002, the 2000 Credit Facility was amended to waive such non-compliance and to revise the covenants to levels that accommodate the Company's consolidation of special purpose entities in
its Consolidated Balance Sheets and Statements of Operations. As a result of this waiver and amendment, the Company paid fees and recognized a pre-tax charge to interest expense of
approximately $825,000 in the first quarter of 2002. On April&nbsp;11, 2002, the Company obtained a waiver from the lenders under the amended 2000 Credit Facility regarding the pending contractual
default for the Moshannon Valley Correctional Center's construction delay. The waiver is effective through September&nbsp;2003. Included in the Company's cash and cash equivalents at
September&nbsp;30, 2002 is approximately $39.2&nbsp;million that is invested in a separate account that is available to the Company for investment purposes or working capital with the approval of
the lenders under the amended 2000 Credit Facility. This separate account is maintained, in part, to assure future credit availability. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Additionally,
the amended 2000 Credit Facility provides the Company with the ability to enter into lease financing arrangements for the acquisition or development of operating
facilities. This lease financing arrangement provides for funding to the lessor under the leases of up to $100.0&nbsp;million, of which approximately $50.5&nbsp;million had been utilized as of
September&nbsp;30, 2002. The Company expects to utilize the remaining capacity under this lease financing arrangement to complete construction of the Moshannon Valley Correctional Center. The
Company pays commitment fees at a rate of 0.5% annually for the unused portion of the lease financing capacity. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Company's lease financing arrangement under its 2000 Credit Facility is a "synthetic lease". A synthetic lease is a form of lease financing that qualifies for operating lease
accounting treatment and, when all criteria pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") are met, is accounted for "off- balance sheet". Under such a structure, the
owner/lessor of the properties ("Synthetic Lease Investor") may be considered a virtual SPE when it obtains debt and equity capital to finance the project(s) and leases the projects to a company. This
financial structure was used to finance the construction of the New Morgan Academy completed in the first quarter of 2001, the acquisition of the Taylor Street Center building in early 1999, and the
construction-to-date of the incomplete Moshannon Valley Correctional Center which is still in process. The synthetic lease used to finance the above projects was originally
entered into in December&nbsp;1998 and was amended in July&nbsp;2000 whereby the available financing was increased from $40.0&nbsp;million to $100.0&nbsp;million and the lease term extended to
July&nbsp;2005. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under
current accounting rules, the Synthetic Lease Investor in a virtual SPE must maintain at least a 3.0% equity ownership interest in the property throughout the life of the lease.
The Company's synthetic lease documents, as amended in July&nbsp;2000, provide for the equity investor to fund 3.5% of project costs. There are provisions in the lease and related credit documents
for the lenders and Synthetic Lease Investor to fund and be paid interest, yield and fees. Under current GAAP rules, the payment of any yield and fees to the investors is required to be treated as a
return of capital rather than a return on capital. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Synthetic Lease Investor for the above projects received payments to assist as co-arranger in the structure of the initial $40.0&nbsp;million synthetic lease facility
in 1998 and in July&nbsp;2000 when the synthetic lease facility was increased to $100.0&nbsp;million. Although the Company does not believe the lessor is a special purpose entity, the lessor could
be considered as a virtual special purpose entity under certain accounting interpretations. Therefore, these payments could be interpreted to reduce the Synthetic
Lease Investor's equity ownership in the leased projects below the required 3.0% level as of the second quarter of 2000. Pursuant to this interpretation, these synthetic leases would no longer qualify
for off-balance sheet treatment beginning in the second quarter of 2000. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities and results of operations of the synthetic lease owned by the Synthetic
Lease Investor are consolidated in the Company's financial statements beginning in the second quarter of 2000. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Contractual Uncertainties Related to Certain Facilities.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The New Morgan Academy was completed and became operational in two
phases during the fourth quarter of 2000 and the first quarter of 2001. In the current year, the New Morgan Academy experienced a reduction in occupancy as a result of budget appropriation reductions
of a significant customer. On September&nbsp;27, 2002, the Company announced plans to close the New Morgan Academy. The Company consented to relinquish its license issued by the Pennsylvania
Department of Public Welfare in lieu of the department implementing its decision to revoke the facility's provisional license due to operating incidents at the facility. The Company will maintain a
small staff to maintain the facility while the Company considers it options for the use or sale of the facility. The Company expects to incur operating expenses of approximately $150,000 per month for
payroll, property taxes and other operating costs from the time the existing program is shutdown until the facility is utilized for an alternative program or until the facility is sold. Additionally,
the Company is incurring interest expense of approximately $135,000 per month related to the borrowings on the facility and depreciation expense of approximately $46,000 per month for the building. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
April&nbsp;1999, the Company was awarded a contract to design, build and operate a 1,095 bed prison for the FBOP in Moshannon Valley, Pennsylvania (the "Moshannon Valley
Correctional Center"). Construction and activation activities commenced immediately. In June&nbsp;1999, the FBOP issued a Stop-Work Order pending a re-evaluation of their
environmental documentation supporting the decision to award the contract. The environmental study was completed with a finding of no significant impact and the Stop-Work Order was lifted
by the FBOP on August&nbsp;9, 2001. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
September&nbsp;1999, the Company received correspondence from the Office of the Attorney General of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania indicating its belief that the operation of a
private prison in Pennsylvania is unlawful. The Company and the FBOP have had, and continue to have, discussions with the Attorney General's staff regarding these and related issues. Management
anticipates that these discussions will be resolved in the near-term. As a result of these issues, the Company has not re-commenced its construction efforts. As of
September&nbsp;30, 2002, the Company had incurred approximately $15.4&nbsp;million for construction and land development costs and capitalized interest related to the Moshannon Valley Correctional
Center. According to the FBOP contract, as amended, the Company must have completed the construction of the facility by November&nbsp;15, 2002. The Company will not have completed construction
within that time frame. The Company is currently obtaining contract amendments monthly from the FBOP. The Company anticipates obtaining another long-term contract amendment from the FBOP
expending the construction deadline. In the event the Company is not able to negotiate a contract amendment with the FBOP, then the FBOP may have the right to assert that the Company has not completed
construction of the facility within the time frame provided in the FBOP contract, as amended. In the event that the FBOP desires to continue with the Moshannon Valley Correctional Center, management
expects that the contract will be amended to address cost and construction timing matters resulting from the extended delay. In the event that the FBOP decides not to continue with the construction of
the Moshannon Valley Correctional Center and </FONT></P>

contract termination by the FBOP, such costs will be expensed, net of any amounts that could be recovered from the litigation of the related assets. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;At
September&nbsp;30, 2002, accounts receivable include costs totaling approximately $1.4&nbsp;million for direct costs incurred by the Company since the issuance of the
Stop-Work Order in June&nbsp;1999 for payroll and other operating costs related to the Moshannon Valley Correctional Center. These costs were incurred with the understanding that such
costs would be reimbursed. Although no formal written agreement exists, management believes that these costs will be reimbursed by the FBOP in the near term. In the event any portion of these costs is

annual repurchase of shares is limited to $2.5&nbsp;million due to the covenants of the Company's 2000 Credit Facility. </FONT></P>

committed capital and working capital requirements for currently awarded and certain potential future contracts. To the extent the Company's cash and current financing arrangements do not provide
sufficient financing to fund construction costs related to future adult secure institutional contract awards or significant facility expansions, the Company anticipates obtaining additional sources of
financing to fund such activities. However, there can be no assurance that such financing will be available, or will be available on terms favorable to the Company. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Other than personnel and inmate medical costs at certain facilities during 2001, management believes that inflation has not had a material effect on the Company's
results of operations during the past three years. Most of the Company's facility management contracts provide for payments to the Company of either fixed per diem fees or per diem fees that increase
by only small amounts during the term of the contracts. Inflation could substantially increase the Company's personnel costs (the largest component of operating expenses) or other operating expenses
at rates faster than any increases in contract revenues. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to market risk, primarily from changes in interest rates. The Company continually monitors exposure to
market risk and develops appropriate strategies to manage this risk. The Company is not exposed to any other significant market risks, including commodity price risk, foreign currency exchange risk or
interest rate risks from the use of derivative financial instruments. The Company has entered into a cash flow hedge derivative instrument as described in Note&nbsp;6 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements. The Company has no cash flow or operating results exposure due to the changes in the fair value of this derivative instrument. The Company has no other derivative financial instruments it
uses for trading or to speculate on changes in interest rates or commodity prices. </FONT></P>

($48.7&nbsp;million of debt outstanding to the Synthetic Lease Investor) of the Company's consolidated long-term debt was subject to variable interest rates. The detrimental effect of a
hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates would be to reduce income before provision for income taxes by approximately $140,000 for the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2002. At
September&nbsp;30, 2002, the fair value of the Company's consolidated fixed rate debt approximated carrying value based upon discounted future cash flows using current market prices. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This quarterly report on Form&nbsp;10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995. These statements are based on current plans and actual future activities and results of operations may be materially different from those set forth in the forward- looking statements. Important
factors that could cause actual results to differ include, among others, (1)&nbsp;the outcomes of pending putative class action shareholder and derivative lawsuits, and related insurance coverage
(2)&nbsp;risks associated with acquisitions and the integration thereof (including the ability to achieve administrative and operating cost savings and anticipated synergies), (3)&nbsp;the timing
and costs of expansions of existing facilities, (4)&nbsp;changes in governmental policy and/or funding to discontinue or not renew existing arrangements or to eliminate or discourage the
privatization of correctional, detention and pre-release services in the United States, (5)&nbsp;the availability of debt and equity financing on terms that are favorable to the Company,
(6)&nbsp;fluctuations in operating results because of occupancy, competition (including competition from two competitors that are substantially larger than the Company), increases in cost of
operations, fluctuations in interest rates and risks of operations and (7)&nbsp;significant charges to expense of deferred costs associated with financing and other projects in development if
management determines that one or more of such projects is unlikely to be successfully concluded, (8)&nbsp;results from alternative deployment or sale of facilities such as the New Morgan Academy. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In March and April&nbsp;2002, the Company, Steven W. Logan, and John L. Hendrix, have been named as defendants in four Federal putative class action lawsuits
styled as follows: (1)&nbsp;</FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>Graydon Williams, On Behalf of Himself and All Others Similarly Situated v. Cornell Companies, Inc, et al.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>,
No.&nbsp;H-02-0866, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division; (2)&nbsp;</FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>Richard Picard, On Behalf of
Himself and All Others Similarly Situated v. Cornell Companies,&nbsp;Inc., et al.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>, No.&nbsp;H-02-1075, in the United States District Court for the
Southern District of Texas, Houston Division; (3)&nbsp;</FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>Louis A. Daly, On Behalf of Himself and All Others Similarly Situated v. Cornell Companies,&nbsp;Inc., et
al.,</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> No.&nbsp;H-02-1522, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division, and
(4)&nbsp;</FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>Anthony J. Scolaro, On Behalf of Himself and All Others Similarly Situated v. Cornell Companies,&nbsp;Inc., et
al.,</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>No.&nbsp;H-02-1567, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division. The aforementioned lawsuits are
putative class action lawsuits brought on behalf of all purchasers of the Company's common stock between March&nbsp;6, 2001 and March&nbsp;5, 2002. The lawsuits involve disclosures made concerning
two prior transactions executed by the Company: the August&nbsp;2001 sale leaseback transaction and the 2000 synthetic lease transaction. These four lawsuits have all been consolidated into the </FONT> <FONT SIZE=2><I>Graydon Williams</I></FONT><FONT
SIZE=2> action and a motion for the appointment of lead plaintiff is pending. The plaintiffs in these actions allege that the defendants
violated Section&nbsp;10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), Rule&nbsp;10b-5 promulgated under Section&nbsp;10(b) of the Exchange Act, and/or
Section&nbsp;20(a) of the Exchange Act. The Company believes that it has good defenses to each of the plaintiffs' claims and intends to vigorously defend against each of the claims. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
March&nbsp;2002, the Company, its directors, and its former independent auditor Arthur Andersen LLP, were sued in a derivative action styled as </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>William
Williams, Derivatively and on Behalf of Nominal Defendant Cornell Companies,&nbsp;Inc. v. Anthony R. Chase, et al.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>, No.&nbsp;2002-15614, in the
127<SUP>th</SUP> Judicial District Court of Harris County, Texas. The lawsuit alleges breaches of fiduciary duty by all of the individual defendants and asserts breach of contract and professional
negligence claims only against Arthur Andersen LLP. The Company believes that it has good defenses to each of the plaintiff's claims and intends to vigorously defend against each of the claims. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
May and June&nbsp;2002, the Company and its directors were sued in three other derivative lawsuits styled as follows: (1)&nbsp;</FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>Juan Guitierrez,
Derivatively on Behalf of Cornell Companies,&nbsp;Inc. v. Steven W. Logan, et. al.,</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> No.&nbsp;H-02-1812, in the United Stated District Court for the
Southern District of Texas, Houston Division; (2)&nbsp;</FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>Thomas Pagano, Derivatively on Behalf of Cornell Companies,&nbsp;Inc. v. Steven W. Logan, et.
al.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>, No.&nbsp;H-02- 1896, in the United Stated District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division; and
(3)&nbsp;</FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>Jesse Menning, Derivatively on Behalf of Cornell Companies,&nbsp;Inc. v. Steven W. Logan, et. al.,</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> No.&nbsp;2002-28924, in
the 164<SUP>th</SUP> Judicial District Court of Harris County, Texas. These lawsuits all allege breaches of fiduciary duty and waste of corporate assets by all of the defendants. A motion to
dismiss the </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>Guitierrez</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> and </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>Pagano</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> lawsuits was filed. The court dismissed the </FONT> <FONT SIZE=2><I>Pagano</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> action as duplicative
of the </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>Guitierrez</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> action. The Company believes that it has good defenses to
each of the plaintiffs' claims and intend to vigorously defend against each of these claims. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;While
the plaintiffs in these cases have not quantified their claim of damages and the outcome of the matters discussed above cannot be predicted with certainty, based on information
known to date and review of applicable insurance coverage, management believes that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial
position, operating results or cash flow. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Company currently and from time to time is subject to claims and suits arising in the ordinary course of business, including claims for damages for personal injuries or for wrongful
restriction of, or interference with, offender privileges and employment matters. </FONT></P>
