NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2005

1.   ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS

    As of March 31, 2005, Corrections Corporation of America, a Maryland corporation (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”), owned 42 correctional, detention and juvenile facilities, three of which are leased to other operators. As of March 31, 2005, the Company operated 64 facilities, including 39 facilities that it owned, located in 19 states and the District of Columbia. The Company is also constructing a correctional facility in Eloy, Arizona, that is expected to be completed during the first quarter of 2006.

    The Company specializes in owning, operating and managing prisons and other correctional facilities and providing inmate residential and prisoner transportation services for governmental agencies. In addition to providing the fundamental residential services relating to inmates, the Company’s facilities offer a variety of rehabilitation and educational programs, including basic education, religious services, life skills and employment training and substance abuse treatment. These services are intended to reduce recidivism and to prepare inmates for their successful re-entry into society upon their release. The Company also provides health care (including medical, dental and psychiatric services), food services and work and recreational programs.

    The Company’s website address is www.correctionscorp.com. The Company makes its Form 10-K, Form 10-Q, Form 8-K, and Section 16 reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, available on its website, free of charge, as soon as reasonably practicable after these reports are filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

2.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit and, in the opinion of management, reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of results for the unaudited interim periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for the full fiscal year. Reference is made to the audited financial statements of the Company included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2004 (the “2004 Form 10-K”) with respect to certain significant accounting and financial reporting policies as well as other pertinent information of the Company.

3.   ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

    On December 31, 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure” (“SFAS 148”). SFAS 148 amends Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”) to provide alternative methods of transition to SFAS 123’s fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. SFAS 148 also amends the disclosure provisions of SFAS 123 and Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 28, “Interim Financial Reporting”, to require disclosure of the effects on an entity’s income and earnings per share in annual and interim financial statements. While SFAS 148 does not amend SFAS 123 to require companies to account for employee stock options using the fair value method, the disclosure provisions of SFAS 148 are applicable to all companies with stock-based employee compensation, regardless of whether they account for the compensation using the fair value method of SFAS 123 or the intrinsic value method of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”).

    At March 31, 2005, the Company had equity incentive plans, which are described more fully in the 2004 Form 10-K. The Company accounts for those plans under the recognition and measurement principles of APB 25. No employee compensation cost for the Company’s stock options is reflected in net income, as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 if the Company had applied for fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123 to stock-based employee compensation (in thousands, except per share data).

The effect of applying SFAS 123 for disclosing compensation costs under such pronouncement may not be representative of the effects on reported net income (loss) available to common stockholders for future years.

Refer to Note 8 for further information regarding additional stock-based compensation awarded during 2005 and 2004.

In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”), which is a revision of SFAS 123. SFAS 123R supersedes APB 25 and amends Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows.” Generally, the approach in SFAS 123R is similar to the approach described in SFAS 123. However, SFAS 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. When adopted, pro forma disclosure will no longer be an alternative.

In accordance with the SEC’s April 2005 ruling, SFAS 123R must be adopted for annual periods that begin after June 15, 2005. Early adoption will be permitted in periods in which financial statements have not yet been issued. The Company expects to adopt SFAS 123R on January 1, 2006.

SFAS 123R permits public companies to adopt its requirements using one of two methods:

2. A “modified retrospective” method which includes the requirements of the modified prospective method described above, but also permits entities to restate based on the amounts previously recognized under SFAS 123 for purposes of pro forma disclosures either for (a) all prior periods presented or (b) prior interim periods of the year of adoption.

    The Company has not yet determined the method it plans to adopt.

    As permitted by SFAS 123 and as previously described herein, the Company currently accounts for share-based payments to employees using APB 25’s intrinsic value method and, as such, recognizes no compensation cost for employee stock options. Accordingly, the adoption of SFAS 123R’s fair value method will have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, although it will have no impact on the Company’s overall financial position. The impact of adoption of SFAS 123R cannot be predicted at this time because it will depend on levels of share-based payments granted in the future. However, had the Company adopted SFAS 123R in prior periods, the impact of that standard would have approximated the impact of SFAS 123 as described in Note 2 to the Company’s 2004 Form 10-K and as presented in the foregoing table. SFAS 123R also requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost to be reported as a financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow as required under current generally accepted accounting principles. This requirement will reduce net operating cash flows and increase net financing cash flows in periods after adoption.

4.   GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

    Goodwill was $15.4 million and $15.6 million as of March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively, and was associated with the facilities the Company manages but does not own. This goodwill was established in connection with the acquisitions of two service companies during 2000. During the first quarter of 2005, the Company recognized $138,000 of goodwill impairment resulting from the pending termination of the Company’s contract to manage the David L. Moss Criminal Justice Center, as further described in Note 5. This charge is included in depreciation and amortization in the accompanying statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2005.

    The components of the Company’s amortized intangible assets and liabilities are as follows (in thousands):


	March 31, 2005						December 31, 2004
	Gross Carrying			Accumulated			Gross Carrying			Accumulated
	Amount			Amortization			Amount			Amortization
Contract acquisition costs	$	873		$	(844	)	$	873		$	(839	)
Customer list		765			(246	)		765			(219	)
Contract values		(35,688	)		17,368			(35,688	)		16,759


Total	$	(34,050	)	$	16,278		$	(34,050	)	$	15,701

Contract acquisition costs and the customer list are included in other non-current assets, and contract values are included in other non-current liabilities in the accompanying

balance sheets. Amortization income, net of amortization expense, for intangible assets and liabilities during the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 was $1.1 million and $0.8 million, respectively. Estimated amortization income, net of amortization expense, for the remainder of 2005 and the five succeeding fiscal years is as follows (in thousands):


2005(remainder)	$	3,181
2006		4,552
2007		4,552
2008		4,552
2009		3,095
2010		3,515

5.   FACILITY OPERATIONS

    During February 2005, the Company announced that it received notification from the Indiana Department of Corrections of its intent to return to Indiana approximately 620 male Indiana inmates housed at the Company’s Otter Creek Correctional Center in Wheelwright, Kentucky. The Company is working with Indiana corrections officials on plans to return the inmates to the Indiana corrections system during the second quarter of 2005. The Company housed 383 Indiana inmates at the Otter Creek facility as of March 31, 2005. The Company is pursuing opportunities with a number of potential customers, including the Kentucky Department of Corrections, to fill the vacant space. However, if the Company is unable to obtain a new agreement it intends to implement a phased closure of the Otter Creek facility that will coincide with the return of Indiana inmates.

    During March 2005, the Company received notification from the Tulsa County Commission in Oklahoma that, as a result of a contract bidding process, the County elected to have the Tulsa County Sheriff’s Office manage the 1,440-bed David L. Moss Criminal Justice Center, located in Tulsa. The Company’s current contract expires on June 30, 2005.

6.   DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

    The results of operations, net of taxes, and the assets and liabilities of discontinued operations have been reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” for all periods presented.

    Due to operating losses incurred at the Southern Nevada Women’s Correctional Center, the Company elected to not renew its contract to manage the facility upon the expiration of the contract. Accordingly, the Company transferred operation of the facility to the Nevada Department of Corrections on October 1, 2004.

During the first quarter of 2004, the Company received $0.6 million in proceeds from the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico as a settlement for repairs the Company previously

made to a facility the Company formerly operated in Ponce, Puerto Rico. These proceeds, net of taxes, are presented as discontinued operations.

The following table summarizes the results of operations for these facilities for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 (amounts in thousands):

Senior Bank Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2005, the Company’s senior secured bank credit facility (the “Senior Bank Credit Facility”) was comprised of a $275.0 million term loan expiring March 31, 2008 (the “Term Loan D Facility”) and a $125.0 million revolving loan (the “Revolving Loan”), which includes a $75.0 million subfacility for letters of credit, expiring on March 31, 2006. The Term Loan D Facility bore interest at a base rate plus 1.25%, or the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 2.25%, at the Company’s option, and had an outstanding balance of $160.1 million at March 31, 2005. The Revolving Loan bore interest at a base rate plus 2.5%, or LIBOR plus 3.5%, at the Company’s option, and had no amounts outstanding at March 31, 2005. The applicable margin for the Revolving Loan was subject to adjustment based on the Company’s leverage ratio. The Company was also required to pay a commitment fee on the difference between committed amounts and amounts

    actually utilized under the Revolving Loan equal to 0.50% per year subject to adjustment based on the Company’s leverage ratio.

    In connection with a substantial prepayment in March 2005 with net proceeds from the issuance of the $375 Million 6.25% Senior Notes (as defined hereafter), along with cash on hand, the Company amended the Senior Bank Credit Facility to permit the incurrence of additional unsecured indebtedness to be used for the purpose of purchasing, through a tender offer, the 9.875% Senior Notes (as defined hereafter), prepaying a portion of the Term Loan D Facility, and paying the related tender premium, fees, and expenses incurred in connection therewith. The tender offer for the 9.875% Senior Notes and pay-down of the Term Loan D Facility resulted in expenses associated with refinancing transactions of $35.0 million during the first quarter of 2005, consisting of a tender premium paid to the holders of the 9.875% Senior Notes who tendered their notes to the Company at a price of 111% of par, estimated fees and expenses associated with the tender offer, and the write-off of existing deferred loan costs associated with the purchase of the 9.875% Senior Notes and lump sum pay-down of the Term Loan D Facility.

    During April 2005, the Company completed an additional amendment to the Senior Bank Credit Facility that resulted in a reduction to the interest rates applicable to the term portion of the facility from 2.25% over LIBOR to 1.75% over LIBOR and a reduction to the interest rates applicable to the revolving portion of the facility from 3.50% over LIBOR to 1.50% over LIBOR, while the fees associated with the unused portion of the revolving credit facility were reduced from 0.50% to 0.375%. The base rate margin applicable to the term portion was reduced to 0.75% from 1.25% and the base rate margin applicable to the revolving portion was reduced to 0.50% from 2.50%. In connection with this amendment, the Company prepaid $20.0 million of the term portion of the Senior Bank Credit Facility by drawing a like amount on the revolving portion of the facility. The Company expects to report a pre-tax charge of approximately $0.3 million during the second quarter of 2005 for the pro-rata write-off of existing deferred loan costs and third-party fees and expenses associated with the amendment.

    The Senior Bank Credit Facility is secured by liens on a substantial portion of the Company’s assets (inclusive of its domestic subsidiaries), and pledges of all of the capital stock of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries. The loans and other obligations under the facility are guaranteed by each of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries and secured by a pledge of up to 65% of the capital stock of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries. Prepayments of loans outstanding under the Senior Bank Credit Facility are permitted at any time without premium or penalty, upon the giving of proper notice.

    The credit agreement governing the Senior Bank Credit Facility requires the Company to meet certain financial covenants, including, without limitation, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, leverage ratios, and a minimum interest coverage ratio. In addition, the Senior Bank Credit Facility contains certain covenants which, among other things, limit the incurrence of additional indebtedness, investments, payment of dividends, transactions with affiliates, asset sales, acquisitions, capital expenditures, mergers and consolidations, prepayments and modifications of other indebtedness, liens and encumbrances, and other matters customarily restricted in such agreements. In

    addition, the Senior Bank Credit Facility is subject to certain cross-default provisions with terms of the Company’s other indebtedness.

    $250 Million 9.875% Senior Notes. Interest on the $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 9.875% unsecured senior notes issued in May 2002 (the “9.875% Senior Notes”) accrued at the stated rate and was payable semi-annually on May 1 and November 1 of each year. The 9.875% Senior Notes were scheduled to mature on May 1, 2009. As described above, the 9.875% Senior Notes were purchased through a tender offer by the Company during the first quarter of 2005.

    $250 Million 7.5% Senior Notes. Interest on the $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 7.5% unsecured senior notes issued in May 2003 (the “$250 Million 7.5% Senior Notes”) accrues at the stated rate and is payable semi-annually on May 1 and November 1 of each year. The $250 Million 7.5% Senior Notes are scheduled to mature on May 1, 2011. At any time on or before May 1, 2006, the Company may redeem up to 35% of the notes with the net proceeds of certain equity offerings, as long as 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes remains outstanding after the redemption. The Company may redeem all or a portion of the notes on or after May 1, 2007. Redemption prices are set forth in the indenture governing the $250 Million 7.5% Senior Notes. The $250 Million 7.5% Senior Notes are guaranteed on an unsecured basis by all of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries.

    $200 Million 7.5% Senior Notes. Interest on the $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 7.5% unsecured senior notes issued in August 2003 (the “$200 Million 7.5% Senior Notes”) accrues at the stated rate and is payable semi-annually on May 1 and November 1 of each year. However, the notes were issued at a price of 101.125% of the principal amount of the notes, resulting in a premium of $2.25 million, which is amortized as a reduction to interest expense over the term of the notes. The $200 Million 7.5% Senior Notes were issued under the existing indenture and supplemental indenture governing the $250 Million 7.5% Senior Notes.

    $375 Million 6.25% Senior Notes. As previously described herein, on March 23, 2005, the Company completed the sale and issuance of $375.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 6.25% unsecured senior notes (the “$375 Million 6.25% Senior Notes”) in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. During April 2005, the Company filed a registration statement with the SEC, which the SEC declared effective May 4, 2005, to exchange the $375 Million 6.25% Senior Notes for a new issue of identical debt securities registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Proceeds from the original note offering, along with cash on hand, were used to purchase, through a cash tender offer, all of the 9.875% Senior Notes, to pay-down $110.0 million of the Term Loan D Facility portion of the Senior Bank Credit Facility, and to pay fees and expenses in connection therewith. The Company capitalized approximately $7.3 million of costs associated with the issuance of the $375 Million 6.25% Senior Notes.

    Interest on the $375 Million 6.25% Senior Notes accrues at the stated rate and is payable on March 15 and September 15 of each year. The $375 Million 6.25% Senior Notes are scheduled to mature on March 15, 2013. At any time on or before March 15, 2008, the Company may redeem up to 35% of the notes with the net proceeds of certain

    equity offerings, as long as 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes remains outstanding after the redemption. The Company may redeem all or a portion of the notes on or after March 15, 2009. Redemption prices are set forth in the indenture governing the $375 Million 6.25% Senior Notes.

    $30 Million Convertible Subordinated Notes. As of December 31, 2004, the Company had outstanding an aggregate of $30.0 million of convertible subordinated notes due February 28, 2007 (the “$30 Million Convertible Subordinated Notes”). Prior to May 2003, these notes accrued interest at 8.0% per year and were scheduled to mature February 28, 2005, subject to extension of such maturity until February 28, 2006 or February 28, 2007 by the holder. During May 2003, the Company and the holder amended the terms of the notes, reducing the interest rate to 4.0% per year and extending the maturity date to February 28, 2007. The amendment also extended the date on which the Company could generally require the holder to convert all or a portion of the notes into common stock to any time after February 28, 2005 from any time after February 28, 2004.

    On February 10, 2005, the Company provided notice to the holders of the $30 Million Convertible Subordinated Notes that the Company would require the holders to convert all of the notes into shares of the Company’s common stock on March 1, 2005. The conversion of the $30 Million Convertible Subordinated Notes resulted in the issuance of 3.4 million shares of the Company’s common stock. Although net income and cash flow will no longer reflect interest incurred and paid on such notes, the conversion of the notes into common stock had no impact on diluted earnings per share because, as further described in Note 10, net income for diluted earnings per share purposes is already adjusted to eliminate interest expense incurred on convertible notes, and the number of shares of common stock used in the calculation of diluted earnings per share reflects the incremental shares assuming conversion.

8. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

During February 2005, the Company issued 182,966 shares of restricted common stock to certain of the Company’s employees, with an aggregate value of $7.2 million, including 141,496 restricted shares to employees whose compensation is charged to general and administrative expense and 41,470 restricted shares to employees whose compensation is charged to operating expense. The employees whose compensation is charged to general and administrative expense have historically been issued stock options as opposed to restricted common stock. However, in 2005 the Company made changes to its historical business practices with respect to awarding stock-based employee compensation as a result of, among other reasons, the issuance of SFAS 123R, whereby the Company issued a combination of stock options and restricted common stock to such employees. The Company established performance-based vesting conditions on the restricted stock awarded to the Company’s officers and executive officers. Unless earlier vested under the terms of the restricted stock, 93,890 shares issued to officers and executive officers are subject to vesting over a three year period based upon the satisfaction of certain performance criteria for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2005, 2006 and 2007. No more than one third of such shares may vest in the first performance period; however, the performance criteria are cumulative for the three year period. Unless earlier vested under the terms of the

    restricted stock, the remaining 89,076 shares of restricted stock issued to certain other employees of the Company vest during 2008.

    During 2004 and 2003, the Company issued 52,600 shares and 94,500 shares of restricted common stock, respectively, to certain of the Company’s wardens. Each of the aggregate grants was valued at $1.6 million on the date of the award. All of the shares granted during 2003 vest during 2006, while all of the shares granted during 2004 vest during 2007.

    During the three months ended March 31, 2005, the Company expensed $477,000, net of forfeitures, relating to restricted common stock ($271,000 of which was recorded in operating expenses and $206,000 of which was recorded in general and administrative expenses). During the three months ended March 31, 2004, the Company expensed $174,000, net of forfeitures, relating to restricted common stock awarded to employees whose compensation is charged to operating expense. As of March 31, 2005, 317,831 of these shares of restricted stock remained outstanding and subject to vesting.

9.   EARNINGS PER SHARE

    In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings Per Share,” basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity. For the Company, diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income, as adjusted, by the weighted average number of common shares after considering the additional dilution related to convertible subordinated notes, restricted common stock plans and stock options and warrants.

    A reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic earnings per share computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted earnings per share computation is a follows (in thousands, except per share data):

During the three months ended March 31, 2005, the Company’s $30 Million Convertible Subordinated Notes were convertible into 2.2 million shares of common stock for the period such notes were outstanding during the quarter; the Company’s stock options and warrants were convertible into 1.3 million shares of common stock, using the treasury stock method; and the Company’s restricted stock-based compensation was convertible into 0.1 million shares of common stock using the if-converted method. These incremental shares were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share, as the effect of their inclusion was anti-dilutive.

10.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

    Legal Proceedings

    General. The nature of the Company’s business results in claims and litigation alleging that it is liable for damages arising from the conduct of its employees, inmates or others. The Company maintains insurance to cover many of these claims which may mitigate the risk that any single claim would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, provided the claim is one for which coverage is available. The combination of self-insured retentions and deductible amounts means that, in the aggregate, the Company is subject to substantial self-insurance risk. In the opinion of management, other than those described below, there are no pending legal proceedings that would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Adversarial proceedings and litigation are, however, subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable decisions and rulings could occur which could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows for a period in which such decisions or rulings occur, or future periods.

    The USCC ESOP Litigation Settlement. During the second quarter of 2002, the Company completed the settlement of certain claims made against it as the successor to U.S. Corrections Corporation (“USCC”), a privately-held owner and operator of correctional and detention facilities which was acquired by a predecessor of the Company in April 1998, by participants in USCC’s Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”). As a result of the settlement, the Company made a cash payment of $575,000 to the plaintiffs. As described below, the Company was in litigation with USCC’s insurer seeking to recover all or a portion of this settlement amount.

    The USCC ESOP litigation, entitled Horn v. McQueen, continued to proceed, however, against two other defendants, Milton Thompson and Robert McQueen, both of whom were stockholders and executive officers of USCC and trustees of the ESOP prior to the Company’s acquisition of USCC. In the Horn litigation, the ESOP participants alleged numerous violations of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, including breaches of fiduciary duties to the ESOP by causing the ESOP to overpay for employer securities. On July 29, 2002, the United States District Court of the Western District of Kentucky found that McQueen and Thompson had breached their fiduciary duties to the ESOP and had acted to benefit themselves to the detriment of the ESOP participants. In January 2005, the Court determined that the plaintiffs were entitled to recover approximately $21 million in damages, including pre-judgment interest, from McQueen and Thompson.

    In the second quarter of 2001, Northfield Insurance Co. (“Northfield”), the issuer of the liability insurance policy to USCC and its directors and officers, filed suit against McQueen, Thompson and the Company seeking a declaration that it did not owe coverage under the policy for any liabilities arising from the Horn litigation. Among other things, Northfield claimed that it did not receive timely notice of the litigation under the terms of the policy. McQueen and Thompson subsequently filed a cross- claim in the Northfield litigation against the Company in which they asserted the Company was obligated to indemnify them for any liability arising out of the Horn

litigation. Among other claims, McQueen and Thompson asserted that, as the result of the Company’s alleged failure to timely notify the insurance carrier of the Horn case on their behalf, they were entitled to indemnification or contribution from the Company for any loss incurred by them as a result of the Horn litigation if there were no insurance available to cover the loss.

On September 30, 2002, the Court in the Northfield litigation found that Northfield was not obligated to cover McQueen and Thompson or the Company. Though it did not then resolve the cross-claim, the Court did note that there was no basis for excusing McQueen and Thompson from their independent obligation to provide timely notice to the carrier because of the Company’s alleged failure to provide timely notice to the carrier. On March 31, 2004, the United States District Court granted the Company’s summary judgment motion with respect to most of the contentions made by McQueen and Thompson in their effort to seek indemnification. In January 2005, the Company filed an additional motion for summary judgment on the remaining theory of liability asserted by McQueen and Thompson in the federal lawsuit. McQueen and Thompson also filed a state court action essentially duplicating their cross-claim in the federal case, and the Company initiated claims against the law firm that jointly represented the Company, McQueen and Thompson in the Horn litigation. In addition, the Company asserted claims against McQueen and Thompson for indemnification for the $575,000 and attorneys’ fees incurred by the Company in connection with the Horn litigation.

On April 15, 2005, the Company agreed to settle with all parties. Pursuant to this agreement, McQueen and Thompson agreed to dismiss their claims for indemnification against the Company. In return, the Company agreed to dismiss its claims against McQueen and Thompson, as well as the law firm. Accordingly, the resolution of this matter will not have an adverse affect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Guarantees

Hardeman County Correctional Facilities Corporation (“HCCFC”) is a nonprofit, mutual benefit corporation organized under the Tennessee Nonprofit Corporation Act on November 17, 1995 to purchase, construct, improve, equip, finance, own and manage a detention facility located in Hardeman County, Tennessee. HCCFC was created as an instrumentality of Hardeman County to implement the County’s incarceration agreement with the state of Tennessee to house certain inmates.

During 1997, HCCFC issued $72.7 million of revenue bonds, which were primarily used for the construction of a 2,016-bed medium security correctional facility. In addition, HCCFC entered into a construction and management agreement with the Company in order to assure the timely and coordinated acquisition, construction, development, marketing and operation of the correctional facility.

HCCFC leases the correctional facility to Hardeman County in exchange for all revenue from the operation of the facility. HCCFC has, in turn, entered into a management agreement with the Company for the correctional facility.

In connection with the issuance of the revenue bonds, the Company is obligated, under a debt service deficit agreement, to pay the trustee of the bond’s trust indenture (the “Trustee”) amounts necessary to pay any debt service deficits consisting of principal and interest requirements (outstanding principal balance of $57.1 million at March 31, 2005 plus future interest payments). In the event the state of Tennessee, which is currently utilizing the facility to house certain inmates, exercises its option to purchase the correctional facility, the Company is also obligated to pay the difference between principal and interest owed on the bonds on the date set for the redemption of the bonds and amounts paid by the state of Tennessee for the facility plus all other funds on deposit with the Trustee and available for redemption of the bonds. Ownership of the facility reverts to the state of Tennessee in 2017 at no cost. Therefore, the Company does not currently believe the state of Tennessee will exercise its option to purchase the facility. At March 31, 2005, the outstanding principal balance of the bonds exceeded the purchase price option by $13.5 million. The Company also maintains a restricted cash account of $5.3 million as collateral against a guarantee it has provided for a forward purchase agreement related to the bond issuance.

Income Tax Contingencies

The Internal Revenue Service is currently auditing the Company’s federal income tax return for the taxable year ended December 31, 2002. The IRS has not completed the audit and therefore, results of the audit have not been determined. However, the Company does not believe the outcome of such audit will have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

11.   INCOME TAXES

    Income taxes are accounted for under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS 109”). SFAS 109 generally requires the Company to record deferred income taxes for the tax effect of differences between book and tax bases of its assets and liabilities.

    Deferred income taxes reflect the available net operating losses and the net tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Realization of the future tax benefits related to deferred tax assets is dependent on many factors, including the Company’s past earnings history, expected future earnings, the character and jurisdiction of such earnings, unsettled circumstances that, if unfavorably resolved, would adversely affect utilization of its deferred tax assets, carryback and carryforward periods, and tax strategies that could potentially enhance the likelihood of realization of a deferred tax asset.

    The Company’s effective tax rate was reduced to 34.9% during the first quarter of 2005 compared with 40.0% during the same period in the prior year. The lower effective tax rate resulted from certain tax planning strategies implemented during the fourth quarter of 2004.

12.   SEGMENT REPORTING

    As of March 31, 2005, the Company owned and managed 39 correctional and detention facilities, and managed 25 correctional and detention facilities it did not own. Management views the Company’s operating results in two reportable segments: owned and managed correctional and detention facilities and managed-only correctional and detention facilities. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in the notes to consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2004 Form 10-K. Owned and managed facilities include the operating results of those facilities owned and managed by the Company. Managed-only facilities include the operating results of those facilities owned by a third party and managed by the Company. The Company measures the operating performance of each facility within the above two reportable segments, without differentiation, based on facility contribution. The Company defines facility contribution as a facility’s operating income or loss from operations before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Since each of the Company’s facilities within the two reportable segments exhibit similar economic characteristics, provide similar services to governmental agencies, and operate under a similar set of operating procedures and regulatory guidelines, the facilities within the identified segments have been aggregated and reported as one reportable segment.

    The revenue and facility contribution for the reportable segments and a reconciliation to the Company’s operating income is as follows for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 (dollars in thousands):

13. SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW DISCLOSURE

During the three months ended March 31, 2005, $30.0 million of convertible subordinated notes were converted into 3.4 million shares of common stock. As a result, long term debt was reduced by, and common stock and additional paid-in capital were increased by, $30.0 million.

OVERVIEW

The Company

As of March 31, 2005, we owned 42 correctional, detention and juvenile facilities, three of which we leased to other operators. As of March 31, 2005, we operated 64 facilities, including 39 facilities that we owned, with a total design capacity of approximately 70,000 beds in 19 states and the District of Columbia. We also are constructing a correctional facility in Eloy, Arizona, that is expected to be completed during the first quarter of 2006.

We specialize in owning, operating and managing prisons and other correctional facilities and providing inmate residential and prisoner transportation services for governmental agencies. In addition to providing the fundamental residential services relating to inmates, our facilities offer a variety of rehabilitation and education programs, including basic education, religious services, life skills and employment training and substance abuse treatment. These services are intended to reduce recidivism and to prepare inmates for their successful re-entry into society upon their release. We also provide health care (including medical, dental and psychiatric services), food services and work and recreational programs.

Our website address is www.correctionscorp.com. We make our Form 10-K, Form 10-Q, Form 8-K, and Section 16 reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), available on our website, free of charge, as soon as reasonably practicable after these reports are filed with or furnished to the SEC.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The condensed 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 at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. A summary of our significant accounting policies is described in our 2004 Form 10-K. The significant accounting policies and estimates which we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results include the following:

Asset impairments. As of March 31, 2005, we had $1.7 billion in long-lived assets. We evaluate the recoverability of the carrying values of our long-lived assets, other than goodwill, when events suggest that an impairment may have occurred. Such events primarily include, but are not limited to, the termination of a management contract or a significant decrease in inmate populations within a correctional facility we own or manage. In these circumstances, we utilize estimates of undiscounted cash flows to determine if an impairment exists. If an impairment exists, it is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset.

Goodwill impairments. As of March 31, 2005, we had $15.4 million of goodwill. We evaluate the carrying value of goodwill during the fourth quarter of each year, in connection with our annual budgeting process, and whenever circumstances indicate the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. Such circumstances primarily include, but are not limited to, the termination of a management contract or a significant decrease in inmate populations within a reporting unit. We test for impairment by comparing the fair value of each reporting unit with its carrying value. Fair value is determined using a collaboration of various common valuation techniques, including market multiples, discounted cash flows, and replacement cost methods. Each of these techniques requires considerable judgment and estimations which could change in the future.

Income taxes. Income taxes are accounted for under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS 109”). SFAS 109 generally requires us to record deferred income taxes for the tax effect of differences between book and tax bases of our assets and liabilities.

Deferred income taxes reflect the available net operating losses and the net tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Realization of the future tax benefits related to deferred tax assets is dependent on many factors, including our past earnings history, expected future earnings, the character and jurisdiction of such earnings, unsettled circumstances that, if unfavorably resolved, would adversely affect utilization of our deferred tax assets, carryback and carryforward periods, and tax strategies that could potentially enhance the likelihood of realization of a deferred tax asset.

As of December 31, 2004, we expected to utilize our remaining federal net operating losses in 2005. However, deductible expenses associated with debt refinancing transactions completed during March 2005, as further described hereafter, resulted in a decrease in our estimate of taxable income to be generated in 2005, such that we now do not expect to fully utilize our remaining federal net operating losses until 2006. Although we now expect to utilize our remaining federal net operating losses in 2006, we have approximately $11.6 million in net operating losses applicable to various states that we expect to carry forward in future years to offset taxable income in such states. These net operating losses begin expiring in 2005. Accordingly, we have a valuation allowance of $1.0 million for the estimated amount of the net operating losses that will expire unused, in addition to a $5.5 million valuation allowance related to state tax credits that are also expected to expire unused. Although our estimate of future taxable income is based on current assumptions that we believe to be reasonable, our assumptions may prove inaccurate and could change in the future, which could result in the expiration of additional net operating losses or credits. We would be required to establish a valuation allowance at such time that we no longer expected to utilize these net operating losses or credits, which could result in a material impact on our results of operations in the future.

Self-funded insurance reserves. As of March 31, 2005, we had $33.4 million in accrued liabilities for employee health, workers’ compensation, and automobile insurance claims. We are significantly self-insured for employee health, workers’ compensation, and automobile liability insurance claims. As such, our insurance expense is largely dependent on claims experience and our ability to control our claims. We have consistently accrued the estimated liability for employee health insurance claims based on our history of claims

experience and the time lag between the incident date and the date the cost is paid by us. We have accrued the estimated liability for workers’ compensation and automobile insurance claims based on a third-party actuarial valuation of the outstanding liabilities. These estimates could change in the future. It is possible that future cash flows and results of operations could be materially affected by changes in our assumptions, new developments, or by the effectiveness of our strategies.

Legal reserves. As of March 31, 2005, we had $14.9 million in accrued liabilities related to certain legal proceedings in which we are involved. We have accrued our estimate of the probable costs for the resolution of these claims based on a range of potential outcomes. In addition, we are subject to current and potential future legal proceedings for which little or no accrual has been reflected because our current assessment of the potential exposure is nominal. These estimates have been developed in consultation with our General Counsel’s office and, as appropriate, outside counsel handling these matters, and are based upon an analysis of potential results, assuming a combination of litigation and settlement strategies. It is possible that future cash flows and results of operations could be materially affected by changes in our assumptions, new developments, or by the effectiveness of our strategies.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Our results of operations are impacted by, and the following table sets forth for the periods presented, the number of facilities we owned and managed, the number of facilities we managed but did not own, the number of facilities we leased to other operators, and the facilities we owned that were not yet in operation.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2005 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2004

Net loss available to common stockholders was $8.9 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2005, compared with net income available to common stockholders of $14.4 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2004.

Net loss available to common stockholders during the first quarter of 2005 was negatively impacted by a $35.0 million charge associated with debt refinancing transactions completed during the first quarter, as further described hereafter, which consisted of a tender premium paid to the holders of the 9.875% senior notes who tendered their notes to us at a price of 111% of par pursuant to a tender offer we made for their notes in March 2005, estimated fees and expenses associated with the tender offer, and the write-off of existing deferred loan costs associated with the purchase of the 9.875% senior notes and a lump sum pay-down of our senior bank credit facility.

Facility Operations

A key performance indicator we use to measure the revenue and expenses associated with the operation of the facilities we own or manage is expressed in terms of a compensated man-day, and represents the revenue we generate and expenses we incur for one inmate for one calendar day. Revenue and expenses per compensated man-day are computed by dividing facility revenue and expenses by the total number of compensated man-days during the period. A compensated man-day represents a calendar day for which we are paid for the occupancy of an inmate. We believe the measurement is useful because we are compensated for operating and managing facilities at an inmate per-diem rate based upon actual or minimum guaranteed occupancy levels. We also measure our ability to contain costs on a per-compensated man-day basis, which is largely dependent upon the number of inmates we accommodate. Further, per man-day measurements are also used to estimate our potential profitability based on certain occupancy levels relative to design capacity. Revenue and expenses per compensated man-day for all of the facilities we owned or managed, exclusive of those discontinued (see further discussion below regarding discontinued operations), were as follows for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004:


	For the Three Months
	Ended March 31,
	2005			2004
Revenue per compensated man-day	$	49.88		$	48.83
Operating expenses per compensated man-day:
Fixed expense		29.08			27.61
Variable expense		9.11			9.10

Total		38.19			36.71


Operating margin per compensated man-day	$	11.69		$	12.12


Operating margin		23.4	%		24.8	%


Average compensated occupancy		89.4	%		95.6	%

Average compensated occupancy for the quarter decreased to 89.4% from 95.6% in the first quarter of 2004 primarily as a result of the completion of construction of approximately 2,500 beds at seven facilities since the first quarter of 2004, as well as a reduction in inmate populations at several of our facilities. In addition, we evaluate the design capacity of our facilities from time to time based on the customers using the facilities and the ability to reconfigure space with minimal capital outlays. In connection with the preparation of the 2005 budget, we increased the previously reported design capacities by an aggregate of approximately 1,500 beds effective January 1, 2005.

Business from our federal customers, including the Federal Bureau of Prisons, or the BOP, the U.S. Marshals Service, or the USMS, and the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or the ICE, continues to be a significant component of our business. Our federal customers generated approximately 39% and 37% of our total management revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Operating expenses totaled $220.6 million and $210.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Operating expenses consist of those expenses incurred in the operation and management of adult and juvenile correctional and detention facilities and for our inmate transportation subsidiary.

Salaries and benefits represent the most significant component of fixed operating expenses, and represent approximately 65% of total operating expenses. During the three months ended March 31, 2005, facility salaries and benefits expense increased $9.2 million, or $1.25 per compensated man-day, compared with the same period in the prior year. Salaries have increased due to annual raises and the commencement of management operations at the Delta Correctional Facility in April 2004 and salary expenses per compensated man-day increased as the result of an increase in staffing levels in anticipation of the arrival of additional inmate populations at several facilities where expansions had recently been completed. In addition, reductions in inmate populations at several other facilities did not justify a decrease in staffing levels at such facilities, resulting in an increase in salaries per compensated man-day, as these fixed expenses were spread over fewer compensated man-days. While we expect inmate populations to increase at the facilities that experienced reductions in inmate populations and at the facilities that have recently been expanded, we can provide no assurance that inmate populations will increase at these facilities.

Facility variable operating expenses increased $0.9 million, or $0.01 per compensated man-day, from the prior year quarter. We have recently been successful at settling certain legal proceedings in which we are involved on terms we believe are favorable. During the first quarter of 2005, we settled a number of outstanding legal matters for amounts less than reserves previously established for such matters, which resulted in a reduction to operating expenses of approximately $0.9 million. Expenses associated with legal proceedings may fluctuate from quarter to quarter based on changes in our assumptions, new developments, or by the effectiveness of our litigation and settlement strategies. Our recent success in settling outstanding claims at amounts less than previously reserved is not likely to be sustained for the long-term and it is possible that future cash flows and results of operations could be adversely affected by increases in expenses associated with legal matters in which we become involved.

The reductions achieved associated with our litigation expenses were partially offset by an increase of $1.8 million in inmate medical expenses during the first quarter of 2005 compared with the first quarter of 2004. The increase in inmate medical was primarily the result of increased reliance on outsourced nursing and an increase in the amount of offsite medical care being provided to inmates compounded by an inflationary environment for health care costs.

The operation of the facilities we own carries a higher degree of risk associated with a management contract than the operation of the facilities we manage but do not own because we incur significant capital expenditures to construct or acquire facilities we own. Additionally, correctional and detention facilities have a limited or no alternative use. Therefore, if a management contract is terminated on a facility we own, we continue to incur certain operating expenses, such as real estate taxes, utilities, and insurance, that we would not incur if a management contract were terminated for a managed-only facility. As a result, revenue per compensated man-day is typically higher for facilities we own and manage than for managed-only facilities. Because we incur higher expenses, such as repairs and maintenance, real estate taxes, and insurance, on the facilities we own and manage, our cost structure for facilities we own and manage is also higher than the cost structure for the managed-only facilities. The following tables display the revenue and expenses per compensated man-day for the facilities we own and manage and for the facilities we manage but do not own:


	For the Three Months
	Ended March 31,
	2005			2004

The following discussions under “Owned and Managed Facilities” and “Managed-Only Facilities” address significant events that impacted our results of operations for the respective periods, and events that will affect our results of operations in the future.

Owned and Managed Facilities

Due to a combination of rate increases and/or an increase in population at six of our facilities, including our 2,016-bed Northeast Ohio Correctional Center, 2,160-bed Diamondback Correctional Facility, 480-bed T. Don Hutto Correctional Center, 905-bed Houston Processing Center, 767-bed Leavenworth Detention Center and 1,104-bed Tallahatchie County Correctional Facility, primarily from the USMS, the ICE, the state of Hawaii, and the state of Arizona, total management and other revenue increased during the three month period ended March 31, 2005 from the comparable period in 2004, by $9.0 million at these facilities.

On March 4, 2004, we announced that we entered into an agreement with the state of Arizona to manage up to 1,200 Arizona inmates at our Diamondback Correctional Facility located in Watonga, Oklahoma. The agreement represents the first time the State has partnered with us to provide residential services to its inmates. The initial contract term ended June 30, 2004, corresponding with Arizona’s fiscal year, with three one-year extension options. The State has since exercised an extension option through June 30, 2005. As of March 31, 2005, the facility housed nearly 1,100 inmates from the state of Arizona as compared to nearly 600 inmates as of March 31, 2004.

On May 10, 2004, we announced the completion of a contractual agreement to house inmates from the state of Hawaii at the Tallahatchie County Correctional Facility located in Tutwiler, Mississippi. The new agreement expires on June 30, 2006. In addition, during July 2004 we extended our current contracts to house Hawaiian inmates in our owned and operated Diamondback Correctional Facility, and our Florence Correctional Facility, located in Florence, Arizona for two additional years. Effective August 15, 2004, the combined contracts guarantee a minimum monthly average of 1,500 inmates to be housed at these three facilities. As of March 31, 2005, we housed 1,535 Hawaiian inmates at these three facilities, compared with 1,376 Hawaiian inmates housed at our facilities as of March 31, 2004.

On April 7, 2004, we announced that we resumed operations at our 2,016-bed Northeast Ohio Correctional Center located in Youngstown, Ohio. We are managing federal prisoners from United States federal court districts that are experiencing a lack of detention space and/or high detention costs. As of March 31, 2005, we housed 541 federal prisoners at this facility. During the first quarter of 2004, we incurred $1.5 million of operating expenses incurred in connection with start-up activities and for staffing expenses in preparation for the arrival of new inmates at this facility. The facility incurred an operating loss (including depreciation and amortization of $0.2 million) during the three months ended March 31, 2005 of $0.6 million.

On December 23, 2004, we received a contract award from the BOP to house approximately 1,195 federal inmates at our Northeast Ohio Correctional Center. The contract, awarded as part of the Criminal Alien Requirement Phase 4 Solicitation (“CAR 4”), provides for an initial four-year term with three two-year renewal options. The terms of the contract provide for a 50% guaranteed rate of occupancy for 90 days following a Notice to Proceed, and a 90% guaranteed rate of occupancy thereafter. We expect to begin receiving BOP inmates at this facility on or about June 1, 2005.

As a result of recently completed bed expansions, total revenue increased during the three month period ended March 31, 2005 from the comparable period in 2004 by $1.3 million and $1.2 million at our Houston Processing Center and our Leavenworth Detention Center, respectively. We expanded the Houston Processing Center by 494 beds, from a design capacity of 411 beds to 905 beds, in connection with a new contract with the ICE to accommodate additional inmate populations that are anticipated as a result of this contract, which contains a guarantee that ICE will utilize 679 beds. We expanded the Leavenworth Detention Center by 284 beds, from a design capacity of 483 beds to 767 beds, in connection with a new contract with the USMS. The new USMS contract provides a guarantee that the USMS will utilize 400 beds.

During the second quarter of 2005, we expect to complete construction on our Stewart County Correctional Facility located in Stewart County, Georgia. Although we currently do not have a contract to house inmates at the 1,524-bed facility, our decision to complete construction was based on anticipated demand from several government customers having a need for inmate bed capacity in the Southeast region of the country. However, we can provide no assurance that we will be successful in utilizing the increased bed capacity. Once construction is complete we will incur depreciation expense on the new facility and will cease capitalizing interest on this project, which will have a negative affect on our results of operations. During the three month period ended March 31, 2005, we capitalized $1.0 million in interest costs incurred on this facility. We estimate the book value of the facility to be approximately $71.0 million upon completion of construction. We also expect our overall occupancy percentage to decline slightly as a result of the additional vacant beds available at the Stewart facility.

During 2004, as expected, the state of Wisconsin reduced the number of inmates housed at both our Diamondback Correctional Facility and our Prairie Correctional Facility by opening various facilities owned by the State. As further discussed above, the available beds at Diamondback Correctional Facility, which resulted from the declining inmate population from the state of Wisconsin, have been filled with inmates from the state of Arizona. As of March 31, 2005, the state of Wisconsin housed 53 inmates at the Prairie Correctional

Facility, a decrease from a combined 1,578 housed at March 31, 2004 at the Diamondback and Prairie facilities. The reduction in inmate populations from the state of Wisconsin resulted in a reduction in management revenue of $7.4 million during the first quarter of 2005 compared with the first quarter of 2004.

We have been notified by the state of Indiana that during the second quarter of 2005 it will remove all of its inmates from our 656-bed Otter Creek Correctional Facility located in Wheelwright, Kentucky to utilize available capacity within the State’s correctional system. As of March 31, 2005, we housed 383 Indiana inmates at the Otter Creek Correctional Facility. We are currently pursuing opportunities with a number of potential customers, including the Kentucky Department of Corrections, to fill the vacant space, but can provide no assurance that we will be successful in replacing the inmates that will be removed from this facility or that the per diem from any such customers will yield as much cash flow as we generated from the state of Indiana. Total revenue and operating expenses were $2.5 million and $1.9 million during the first quarter of 2005, compared with total revenue and operating expenses of $2.8 million and $1.9 million during the first quarter of 2004.

During July 2004, an inmate disturbance at the Crowley County Correctional Facility located in Olney Springs, Colorado resulted in damage to the facility, requiring us to immediately transfer approximately 120 inmates to other of our facilities and approximately 65 inmates to facilities owned by the state of Colorado. Although repair of the facility was substantially complete at December 31, 2004, a further reduction in Colorado inmate populations since the disturbance has impacted short-term results. However, the impact was mitigated by the recovery of $1.0 million of business interruption and other insurance proceeds recognized during the first quarter of 2005.

Managed-Only Facilities

Our operating margins declined at managed-only facilities during the first quarter of 2005 as compared with the same period in 2004 primarily as a result of declines in inmate populations at Bay County Jail located in Panama City, Florida and the Metro-Davidson County Detention Facility located in Nashville, Tennessee and as a result of higher operating expenses at Lake City Correctional Facility located in Lake City, Florida and the David L. Moss Criminal Justice Center located in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Primarily as a result of declines in inmate populations at the Bay County Jail and the Metro-Davidson County Detention Facility, total revenue decreased during the three-month period ended March 31, 2005 from the comparable period in 2004 by $0.9 million and $0.3 million, respectively. The decline in occupancy at the Metro-Davidson County Detention Facility is the result of the loss of female inmates at the facility caused by the opening of a new female-only detention facility by Davidson County during the first quarter of 2005.

During the three months ended March 31, 2005, salaries and benefits increased by $0.6 million from the comparable period in 2004 at the Lake City Correctional Facility located in Lake City, Florida. During March 2005, the state of Florida completed a 543-bed expansion at this managed-only facility to increase the design capacity to 893 beds. The increase in salaries was caused by the hiring and training of additional staff in anticipation of receiving additional inmates. Additional Florida inmates began filling this increased capacity during

the second quarter of 2005, which is expected to contribute to an increase in management revenue in future quarters.

On March 21, 2005, the Tulsa County Commission in Oklahoma provided us notice that, as a result of a contract bidding process, the County elected to have the Tulsa County Sheriff’s Office assume management of the 1,440-bed David L. Moss Criminal Justice Center upon expiration of the contract on June 30, 2005. Total revenue and operating expenses were $5.0 million and $5.8 million during the first quarter of 2005, compared with total revenue and operating expenses of $5.6 million and $5.4 million during the first quarter of 2004. The increase in operating expenses was primarily the result of higher inmate litigation expenses and inmate medical expenses, which may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter at this facility, particularly due to unlimited inmate medical exposure under the terms of the management contract.

On March 23, 2004, we announced the completion of a contractual agreement with Mississippi’s Delta Correctional Authority to resume operations of the state-owned 1,016-bed Delta Correctional Facility located in Greenwood, Mississippi. We managed the medium security correctional facility for the Delta Correctional Authority since its opening in 1996 until the State closed the facility in 2002, due to excess capacity in the State’s corrections system. The initial contract was for one year, with one two-year extension option. We began receiving inmates from the state of Mississippi at the facility on April 1, 2004. In addition, after completing the contractual agreement with the Delta Correctional Authority, we entered into an additional contract to manage inmates from Leflore County, Mississippi. This one-year contract provides for housing for up to 160 male inmates and up to 60 female inmates, and is renewable annually. As of March 31, 2005, we housed 959 and 126 inmates from the state of Mississippi and Leflore County, respectively, at this facility.

General and administrative expense

For the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, general and administrative expenses totaled $12.5 million and $11.0 million, respectively. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of corporate management salaries and benefits, professional fees and other administrative expenses, and increased from the first three months of 2004 primarily due to an increase in salaries and benefits, including $0.2 million of restricted stock-based compensation awarded to employees who have historically been awarded stock options.

In 2005, the Company made changes to its historical business practices with respect to awarding stock-based employee compensation as a result of, among other reasons, the issuance of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment,” or SFAS 123R. During the year ending December 31, 2005, we currently expect to recognize $1.6 million of general and administrative expense for the amortization of restricted stock issued during the first quarter of 2005 to employees whose compensation is charged to general and administrative expense. As further described hereafter, because these employees have historically been granted stock options rather than restricted stock, no such expense was recognized in our statement of operations during 2004. As a result, the issuance of restricted stock rather than stock options to these employees will contribute to a significant increase in our reported general and administrative expenses, even though our overall financial position and total cash flows are not affected by this change in compensation philosophy.

Our general and administrative expenses were also higher as a result of an increase in corporate staffing levels. In response to a number of inmate disturbances experienced during 2004, we re-evaluated our organizational structure and expanded our infrastructure to help ensure the quality and effectiveness of our facility operations. This intensified focus on quality assurance contributed to the increase in salaries and benefits expense, as well as a number of other general and administrative expense categories.

We have also experienced increasing expenses to implement and support numerous technology initiatives, and to comply with increasing corporate governance requirements, a significant portion of which was incurred to continue to comply with section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

Interest expense, net

Interest expense is reported net of interest income and capitalized interest for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004. Gross interest expense, net of capitalized interest, was $18.6 million for both the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004. Gross interest expense is based on outstanding convertible subordinated notes payable balances, borrowings under our senior bank credit facility, our 9.875% senior notes (until fully tendered), our 7.5% senior notes, our 6.25% senior notes, and amortization of loan costs and unused facility fees. Although interest expense did not change significantly from the first quarter of 2004, our capital structure has changed significantly due to the aforementioned refinancing and recapitalization transactions completed during the first quarter of 2005, and as further described hereafter, which are expected to contribute to a reduction in interest expense in future quarters.

Gross interest income was $1.2 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Gross interest income is earned on cash collateral requirements, a direct financing lease, notes receivable, investments, and cash and cash equivalents.

Capitalized interest was $1.1 million and $1.2 million during the first quarter of 2005 and 2004, respectively, and was associated with various construction and expansion projects and the installation of a new inmate management system.

Expenses associated with debt refinancing and recapitalization transactions

For the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, expenses associated with debt refinancing and recapitalization transactions were $35.0 million and $25,000, respectively. The charges in 2005 consisted of a tender premium paid to the holders of the $250.0 million 9.875% senior notes who tendered their notes to us at a price of 111% of par pursuant to a tender offer we made for their notes in March 2005, the write-off of existing deferred loan costs associated with the purchase of the $250.0 million 9.875% senior notes and lump sum pay-down of the term portion of our senior bank credit facility made with the proceeds from the issuance of $375.0 million of 6.25% senior notes, and estimated fees and expenses associated with each of the foregoing transactions.

Income tax benefit (expense)

We generated an income tax benefit of $4.8 million and incurred an income tax expense of $10.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Our effective tax rate was reduced to 34.9% during the first quarter of 2005 compared with 40.0% during the same period in the prior year. The lower effective tax rate resulted from certain tax planning strategies implemented during the fourth quarter of 2004, that were magnified by the recognition of deductible expenses associated with our debt refinancing transactions completed during the first quarter of 2005. Our effective tax rate is estimated based on our current projection of taxable income, and could fluctuate based on changes in these estimates, as well as changes in the valuation allowance applied to our deferred tax assets that are based primarily on the amount of state net operating losses and tax credits that could expire unused.

Discontinued operations

Due to operating losses incurred at the Southern Nevada Women’s Correctional Center, we elected not to renew our contract to manage the facility upon the expiration of the contract. Accordingly, we transferred operation of the facility to the Nevada Department of Corrections on October 1, 2004. During the first quarter of 2004, the facility generated total revenue of $2.0 million and incurred total operating expenses of $2.1 million.

During the first quarter of 2004, we received $0.6 million in proceeds from the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico as a settlement for repairs we previously made to a facility we formerly operated in Ponce, Puerto Rico. These proceeds, net of taxes, are presented as discontinued operations.

Distributions to preferred stockholders

Distributions to preferred stockholders were $0.8 million during the first quarter of 2004. During the first quarter of 2004, we redeemed the remaining 0.3 million outstanding shares of our series A preferred stock at a price of $25.00 per share, plus accrued dividends to the redemption date. Further, during the second quarter of 2004, we redeemed the remaining 1.0 million shares of our series B preferred stock at a price of $24.46 per share, plus accrued dividends to the redemption date.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our principal capital requirements are for working capital, capital expenditures and debt service payments. Capital requirements may also include cash expenditures associated with our outstanding commitments and contingencies, as further discussed in the notes to the financial statements and as further described in our 2004 Form 10-K. Additionally, we may incur capital expenditures to expand the design capacity of certain of our facilities in order to retain management contracts, and to increase our inmate bed capacity for anticipated demand from current and future customers. With lender consent, we may acquire additional correctional facilities that we believe have favorable investment returns and increase value to our stockholders. We will also consider opportunities for growth, including potential acquisitions of businesses within our line of business and those that provide complementary

services, provided we believe such opportunities will broaden our market share and/or increase the services we can provide to our customers.

We announced on September 10, 2003, our intention to complete construction of the Stewart County Correctional Facility located in Stewart County, Georgia. The anticipated cost to complete the Stewart facility is approximately $28.6 million, with completion estimated to occur during the second quarter of 2005. We currently have approximately 273 beds available for use at the Stewart County Correctional Facility. Construction on the 1,524-bed Stewart County Correctional Facility began in August 1999 and was suspended in May 2000. Our decision to complete construction of this facility is based on anticipated demand from several government customers having a need for inmate bed capacity in the Southeast region of the country. However, we can provide no assurance that we will be successful in utilizing the increased bed capacity resulting from these projects.

In October 2003, we announced the signing of a new contract with ICE for up to 905 detainees at our Houston Processing Center. We also announced our intention to expand the facility by 494 beds from its current 411 beds to 905 beds. The anticipated cost of the expansion is approximately $28.4 million and was substantially completed during the first quarter of 2005. This expansion was undertaken in order to accommodate additional detainee populations that are anticipated as a result of this contract, which contains a guarantee that ICE will utilize 679 beds at such time as the expansion is completed.

On February 1, 2005, we commenced construction of the Red Rock Correctional Center, a new 1,596-bed correctional facility located in Eloy, Arizona. The facility is expected to cost approximately $82.2 million, and is slated for completion during the first quarter of 2006. The capacity at the new facility is intended primarily for our existing customers.

The following table summarizes the aforementioned construction and expansion projects expected to be completed through the first quarter of 2006:

We may also pursue additional expansion opportunities to satisfy the needs of an existing or potential customer or when the economics of an expansion are compelling.

Additionally, we believe investments in technology can enable us to operate safe and secure facilities with more efficient, highly skilled and better-trained staff, and to reduce turnover through the deployment of innovative technologies, many of which are unique and new to the corrections industry. During the first quarter of 2005, we capitalized $2.9 million of expenditures related to technology. These investments in technology are expected to provide

long-term benefits enabling us to provide enhanced quality service to our customers while creating scalable operating efficiencies. We expect to incur approximately $18.2 million in information technology expenditures during the remainder of 2005.

We expect to fund our capital expenditure requirements including our construction projects, as well as our information technology expenditures, working capital, and debt service requirements, with investments and cash on hand, net cash provided by operations, and borrowings available under our revolving credit facility.

During 2003, the Internal Revenue Service completed its field audit of our 2001 federal income tax return. During the fourth quarter of 2004, the 2001 audit results underwent a review by the Joint Committee on Taxation, a division of the IRS. Based on that review, the IRS adjusted the carryback claims we filed on our 2001 and 2002 federal income tax returns, requiring us to repay approximately $16.3 million of refunds we received during 2002 and 2003 as a result of tax law changes provided by the “Job Creation and Worker Assistance Act of 2002.” A portion of our tax loss was deemed not to be available for carryback to 1997 and 1996 due to our restructuring that occurred between 1997 and 2001. However, we will carry this tax loss forward to offset taxable income expected to be generated in 2005 and 2006. While the adjustment did not result in a loss of deductions claimed, we were obligated to repay the amount of the adjusted refund, plus interest of approximately $2.9 million, or $1.7 million after taxes through December 31, 2004. These obligations were accrued in our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2004, and were substantially paid during the first quarter of 2005.

As of December 31, 2004, we expected to utilize our remaining federal net operating losses, including those resulting from the IRS adjustment, in 2005. However, deductible expenses associated with debt refinancing transactions completed during March 2005, as further described hereafter, resulted in a decrease in our estimate of taxable income to be generated in 2005, such that now we do not expect to fully utilize our remaining federal net operating losses until 2006. Accordingly, we do not expect to pay any additional income taxes, other than nominal state income taxes for the remainder of 2005.

During the three months ended March 31, 2004, we were not required to pay income taxes, other than primarily for the alternative minimum tax and certain state taxes, as a result of the utilization of existing net operating loss carryforwards to offset our taxable income.

On February 10, 2005, we provided notice to the holders of the $30.0 million convertible subordinated notes that we would require the holders to convert all of the notes into shares of our common stock on March 1, 2005. The conversion of the $30.0 million convertible subordinated notes resulted in the issuance of 3.4 million shares of our common stock. Although net income and cash flow will no longer reflect interest incurred and paid on such notes, the conversion of the notes into common stock will have no impact on diluted earnings per share because net income for diluted earnings per share purposes is already adjusted to eliminate interest expense incurred on convertible notes, and the number of shares of common stock used in the calculation of diluted earnings per share reflects the incremental shares assuming conversion.

On March 23, 2005, we completed the sale and issuance of $375.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.25% unsecured senior notes due 2013 in a private placement to

qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Proceeds from the notes offering, along with cash on hand, were used to purchase, through a cash tender offer, all of the $250.0 million 9.875% senior notes, to pay-down $110.0 million of the term loan portion of our senior bank credit facility, and to pay fees and expenses in connection therewith.

As a result of these refinancing transactions, Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services raised our corporate credit rating to ‘BB-’ from ‘B+’. At the same time, Standard & Poor’s raised our senior secured debt rating to ‘BB’ from ‘BB-’ and our senior unsecured debt rating to ‘BB-’ from ‘B’. Additionally, Moody’s Investors Service reaffirmed the ‘B1’ rating on our senior unsecured debt and reaffirmed our positive outlook.

As of March 31, 2005, our liquidity was provided by cash on hand of $48.4 million, investments of $8.7 million, and $88.3 million available under our $125.0 million revolving credit facility. During the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, we generated $28.5 million and $37.3 million, respectively, in cash through operating activities, and as of March 31, 2005 and 2004, we had net working capital of $133.5 million and $137.8 million, respectively. We currently expect to be able to meet our cash expenditure requirements for the next year utilizing these resources. In addition, we have an effective “shelf” registration statement under which we may issue up to $280.0 million in equity or debt securities, preferred stock and warrants. This registration statement provides us with the flexibility to issue additional equity or debt securities, preferred stock, and warrants from time to time when we determine that market conditions and the opportunity to utilize the proceeds from the issuance of such securities are favorable.

During April 2005, we completed an additional amendment to our senior bank credit facility that resulted in a reduction to the interest rates applicable to the term portion of the facility from 2.25% over LIBOR to 1.75% over LIBOR and a reduction to the interest rates applicable to the revolving portion of the facility from 3.50% over LIBOR to 1.50% over LIBOR, while the fees associated with the unused portion of the revolving credit facility were reduced from 0.50% to 0.375%. The base rate margin applicable to the term portion was reduced to 0.75% from 1.25% and the base rate margin applicable to the revolving portion was reduced to 0.50% from 2.50%. In connection with this amendment, we prepaid $20.0 million of the term portion of our senior bank credit facility by drawing a like amount on the revolving portion of the facility. We expect to report a pre-tax charge of approximately $0.3 million during the second quarter of 2005 for the pro-rata write-off of existing deferred loan costs and third-party fees and expenses associated with the amendment.

As a result of our refinancing and recapitalization transactions completed over the past two years, we have significantly reduced our exposure to variable rate debt, lowered our overall interest rates, and extended our weighted average debt maturities. The term portion of our senior bank credit facility matures on March 31, 2008, while the revolving portion of facility, which currently has an outstanding balance of $20.0 million along with $36.7 million in outstanding letters of credit under a subfacility, matures March 31, 2006. Although we believe we will be able to refinance and extend the maturity of the senior bank credit facility upon maturity, we can provide no assurance that we will be able to refinance the facility on commercially reasonable or any other terms.

At March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, our total weighted average debt maturity was 6.3 years and 4.9 years, respectively. We have historically been able to refinance debt when it has become due on terms which we believe to be commercially reasonable. While we currently expect to fund long-term liquidity requirements primarily through a combination of cash generated from continuing operations and with borrowings under the senior bank credit facility, there can be no assurance that we will be able to repay or refinance our indebtedness when due on commercially reasonable or any other terms.

Operating Activities

Our net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2005 was $28.5 million, compared with $37.3 million for the same period in the prior year. Cash provided by operating activities represents the year to date net income plus depreciation and amortization, changes in various components of working capital, and adjustments for expenses associated with debt refinancing and recapitalization transactions and various non-cash charges, including primarily deferred income taxes. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2005 was due primarily to the aforementioned cash taxes paid during the first quarter of 2005 for the IRS adjustment.

Investing Activities

Our cash flow used in investing activities was $13.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and was primarily attributable to capital expenditures during the quarter of $16.3 million and included expenditures for acquisitions and development of $8.6 million related to the aforementioned facility expansion and development projects during the quarter. Our cash flow used in investing activities was $25.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and was primarily attributable to capital expenditures during the quarter of $30.7 million, which included capital expenditures of $18.9 million related to the various facility expansion and development projects.

Financing Activities

Our cash flow used in financing activities was $17.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and was primarily attributable to the aforementioned refinancing and recapitalization transactions completed during the first quarter. Proceeds from the issuance of the $375 million 6.25% senior notes along with cash on hand were used to purchase all of the outstanding $250 million 9.875% senior notes, make a lump sum prepayment on the senior bank credit facility of $110 million and pay fees and expenses related thereto. These transactions resulted in fees and expenses of $34.9 million paid during the quarter. Our cash flow used in financing activities was $7.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and was primarily attributable to the redemption of the remaining 0.3 million shares of series A preferred stock during March 2004, which totaled $7.5 million.

Contractual Obligations

The cash obligations in the table above do not include future cash obligations for interest associated with our outstanding indebtedness. During the three months ended March 31, 2005, we paid $14.2 million in interest, including capitalized interest. We had $36.7 million of letters of credit outstanding at March 31, 2005 primarily to support our requirement to repay fees under our workers’ compensation plan in the event we do not repay the fees due in accordance with the terms of the plan. The letters of credit are renewable annually. We did not have any draws under any outstanding letters of credit during the three months ended March 31, 2005 or 2004.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS 123R, which is a revision of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” SFAS 123R supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 and amends Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows.” Generally, the approach in SFAS 123R is similar to the approach described in SFAS 123. However, SFAS 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. When adopted, pro forma disclosure will no longer be an alternative.

SFAS 123R permits public companies to adopt its requirements using one of two methods:

1. A “modified prospective” method in which compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date (a) based on the requirements of SFAS 123R for all share-based payments granted after the effective date and (b) based on the requirements of SFAS 123 for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of SFAS 123R that remain unvested on the effective date.

2. A “modified retrospective” method which includes the requirements of the modified prospective method described above, but also permits entities to restate based on the amounts previously recognized under SFAS 123 for purposes of pro forma disclosures either for (a) all prior periods presented or (b) prior interim periods of the year of adoption.

We have not yet determined the method we plan to adopt.

As permitted by SFAS 123, we currently account for share-based payments to employees using APB 25’s intrinsic value method and, as such, recognize no compensation cost for employee stock options. Accordingly, the adoption of SFAS 123R’s fair value method will have a significant impact on our results of operations, although it will have no impact on our overall financial position. The impact of adoption of SFAS 123R cannot be predicted at this time because it will depend on levels of share-based payments granted in the future. However, had we adopted SFAS 123R in prior periods, the impact of that standard would have approximated the impact of SFAS 123 as described in the disclosure of pro forma net income and earnings per share in Note 2 to our 2004 Form 10-K and Note 3 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements herein. SFAS 123R also requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost to be reported as a financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow as required under current literature. This requirement will reduce net operating cash flows and increase net financing cash flows in periods after adoption.

INFLATION

We do not believe that inflation has had or will have a direct adverse effect on our operations. Many of our management contracts include provisions for inflationary indexing, which mitigates an adverse impact of inflation on net income. However, a substantial increase in personnel costs, workers’ compensation or food and medical expenses could have an adverse impact on our results of operations in the future to the extent that these expenses increase at a faster pace than the per diem or fixed rates we receive for our management services.

SEASONALITY AND QUARTERLY RESULTS

Our business is somewhat subject to seasonal fluctuations. Because we are generally compensated for operating and managing facilities at an inmate per diem rate, our financial results are impacted by the number of calendar days in a fiscal quarter. Our fiscal year follows the calendar year and therefore, our daily profits for the third and fourth quarters include two more days than the first quarter (except in leap years) and one more day than the second quarter. Further, salaries and benefits represent the most significant component of operating expenses. Significant portions of the Company’s unemployment taxes are recognized during the first quarter, when base wage rates reset for state unemployment tax purposes. Finally, quarterly results are affected by the timing of the opening of new facilities and related start-up expenses which may conceal the impact of other seasonal influences. Because of these seasonality factors, results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full fiscal year.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Our primary market risk exposure is to changes in U.S. interest rates. We are exposed to market risk related to our senior bank credit facility because the interest on our senior bank credit facility is subject to fluctuations in the market. We do not currently intend to enter into any interest rate protection agreements in the short term. If the interest rate for our outstanding indebtedness under the senior bank credit facility was 100 basis points higher or

lower during the three months ended March 31, 2005, our interest expense, net of amounts capitalized, would have been increased or decreased by approximately $0.6 million.

As of March 31, 2005, we had outstanding $450.0 million of senior notes with a fixed interest rate of 7.5% and $375.0 million of senior notes with a fixed interest rate of 6.25%. Because the interest rates with respect to these instruments are fixed, a hypothetical 100 basis point increase or decrease in market interest rates would not have a material impact on our financial statements.

We may, from time to time, invest our cash in a variety of short-term financial instruments. These instruments generally consist of highly liquid investments with original maturities at the date of purchase of three months or less. While these investments are subject to interest rate risk and will decline in value if market interest rates increase, a hypothetical 100 basis point increase or decrease in market interest rates would not materially affect the value of these investments.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our senior management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on that evaluation, our senior management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in causing material information relating to us (including our consolidated subsidiaries) to be recorded, processed, summarized and reported by management on a timely basis and to ensure that the quality and timeliness of our public disclosures complies with SEC disclosure obligations. There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Audit Committee Matters.

Section 10A(i)(1) of the Exchange Act, as added by Section 202 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, requires that the Company’s Audit Committee (or one or more designated members of the Audit Committee who are independent directors of the Company’s board of directors) pre-approve all audit and non-audit services provided to the Company by its external auditor, Ernst & Young LLP. Section 10A(i)(2) of the Exchange Act further requires that the Company disclose in its periodic reports required by Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act any non-audit services approved by the Audit Committee to be performed by Ernst & Young.

Consistent with the foregoing requirements, during the first quarter, the Company’s Audit Committee pre-approved the engagement of Ernst & Young for audit and audit-related services, as defined by the SEC, for assistance with (1) the review of the Company’s financial statements for the first quarter of 2005; (2) certain refinancing transactions; and (3) certain loan covenant requirements.

1.	ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS

	As of March 31, 2005, Corrections Corporation of America, a Maryland corporation (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”), owned 42 correctional, detention and juvenile facilities, three of which are leased to other operators. As of March 31, 2005, the Company operated 64 facilities, including 39 facilities that it owned, located in 19 states and the District of Columbia. The Company is also constructing a correctional facility in Eloy, Arizona, that is expected to be completed during the first quarter of 2006.

	The Company specializes in owning, operating and managing prisons and other correctional facilities and providing inmate residential and prisoner transportation services for governmental agencies. In addition to providing the fundamental residential services relating to inmates, the Company’s facilities offer a variety of rehabilitation and educational programs, including basic education, religious services, life skills and employment training and substance abuse treatment. These services are intended to reduce recidivism and to prepare inmates for their successful re-entry into society upon their release. The Company also provides health care (including medical, dental and psychiatric services), food services and work and recreational programs.

	The Company’s website address is www.correctionscorp.com. The Company makes its Form 10-K, Form 10-Q, Form 8-K, and Section 16 reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, available on its website, free of charge, as soon as reasonably practicable after these reports are filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

2.	BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

	The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit and, in the opinion of management, reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of results for the unaudited interim periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for the full fiscal year. Reference is made to the audited financial statements of the Company included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2004 (the “2004 Form 10-K”) with respect to certain significant accounting and financial reporting policies as well as other pertinent information of the Company.

3.	ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

	On December 31, 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure” (“SFAS 148”). SFAS 148 amends Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”) to provide alternative methods of transition to SFAS 123’s fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. SFAS 148 also amends the disclosure provisions of SFAS 123 and Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 28, “Interim Financial Reporting”, to require disclosure of the effects on an entity’s income and earnings per share in annual and interim financial statements. While SFAS 148 does not amend SFAS 123 to require companies to account for employee stock options using the fair value method, the disclosure provisions of SFAS 148 are applicable to all companies with stock-based employee compensation, regardless of whether they account for the compensation using the fair value method of SFAS 123 or the intrinsic value method of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”).

	At March 31, 2005, the Company had equity incentive plans, which are described more fully in the 2004 Form 10-K. The Company accounts for those plans under the recognition and measurement principles of APB 25. No employee compensation cost for the Company’s stock options is reflected in net income, as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 if the Company had applied for fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123 to stock-based employee compensation (in thousands, except per share data).

	The Company has not yet determined the method it plans to adopt.

	As permitted by SFAS 123 and as previously described herein, the Company currently accounts for share-based payments to employees using APB 25’s intrinsic value method and, as such, recognizes no compensation cost for employee stock options. Accordingly, the adoption of SFAS 123R’s fair value method will have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, although it will have no impact on the Company’s overall financial position. The impact of adoption of SFAS 123R cannot be predicted at this time because it will depend on levels of share-based payments granted in the future. However, had the Company adopted SFAS 123R in prior periods, the impact of that standard would have approximated the impact of SFAS 123 as described in Note 2 to the Company’s 2004 Form 10-K and as presented in the foregoing table. SFAS 123R also requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost to be reported as a financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow as required under current generally accepted accounting principles. This requirement will reduce net operating cash flows and increase net financing cash flows in periods after adoption.

4.	GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

	Goodwill was $15.4 million and $15.6 million as of March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively, and was associated with the facilities the Company manages but does not own. This goodwill was established in connection with the acquisitions of two service companies during 2000. During the first quarter of 2005, the Company recognized $138,000 of goodwill impairment resulting from the pending termination of the Company’s contract to manage the David L. Moss Criminal Justice Center, as further described in Note 5. This charge is included in depreciation and amortization in the accompanying statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2005.

	The components of the Company’s amortized intangible assets and liabilities are as follows (in thousands):

5.	FACILITY OPERATIONS

	During February 2005, the Company announced that it received notification from the Indiana Department of Corrections of its intent to return to Indiana approximately 620 male Indiana inmates housed at the Company’s Otter Creek Correctional Center in Wheelwright, Kentucky. The Company is working with Indiana corrections officials on plans to return the inmates to the Indiana corrections system during the second quarter of 2005. The Company housed 383 Indiana inmates at the Otter Creek facility as of March 31, 2005. The Company is pursuing opportunities with a number of potential customers, including the Kentucky Department of Corrections, to fill the vacant space. However, if the Company is unable to obtain a new agreement it intends to implement a phased closure of the Otter Creek facility that will coincide with the return of Indiana inmates.

	During March 2005, the Company received notification from the Tulsa County Commission in Oklahoma that, as a result of a contract bidding process, the County elected to have the Tulsa County Sheriff’s Office manage the 1,440-bed David L. Moss Criminal Justice Center, located in Tulsa. The Company’s current contract expires on June 30, 2005.

6.	DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

	The results of operations, net of taxes, and the assets and liabilities of discontinued operations have been reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” for all periods presented.

	Due to operating losses incurred at the Southern Nevada Women’s Correctional Center, the Company elected to not renew its contract to manage the facility upon the expiration of the contract. Accordingly, the Company transferred operation of the facility to the Nevada Department of Corrections on October 1, 2004.

	made to a facility the Company formerly operated in Ponce, Puerto Rico. These proceeds, net of taxes, are presented as discontinued operations.

	The following table summarizes the results of operations for these facilities for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 (amounts in thousands):

7.	DEBT

	Debt outstanding as of March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 consists of the following (in thousands):

	actually utilized under the Revolving Loan equal to 0.50% per year subject to adjustment based on the Company’s leverage ratio.

	In connection with a substantial prepayment in March 2005 with net proceeds from the issuance of the $375 Million 6.25% Senior Notes (as defined hereafter), along with cash on hand, the Company amended the Senior Bank Credit Facility to permit the incurrence of additional unsecured indebtedness to be used for the purpose of purchasing, through a tender offer, the 9.875% Senior Notes (as defined hereafter), prepaying a portion of the Term Loan D Facility, and paying the related tender premium, fees, and expenses incurred in connection therewith. The tender offer for the 9.875% Senior Notes and pay-down of the Term Loan D Facility resulted in expenses associated with refinancing transactions of $35.0 million during the first quarter of 2005, consisting of a tender premium paid to the holders of the 9.875% Senior Notes who tendered their notes to the Company at a price of 111% of par, estimated fees and expenses associated with the tender offer, and the write-off of existing deferred loan costs associated with the purchase of the 9.875% Senior Notes and lump sum pay-down of the Term Loan D Facility.

	During April 2005, the Company completed an additional amendment to the Senior Bank Credit Facility that resulted in a reduction to the interest rates applicable to the term portion of the facility from 2.25% over LIBOR to 1.75% over LIBOR and a reduction to the interest rates applicable to the revolving portion of the facility from 3.50% over LIBOR to 1.50% over LIBOR, while the fees associated with the unused portion of the revolving credit facility were reduced from 0.50% to 0.375%. The base rate margin applicable to the term portion was reduced to 0.75% from 1.25% and the base rate margin applicable to the revolving portion was reduced to 0.50% from 2.50%. In connection with this amendment, the Company prepaid $20.0 million of the term portion of the Senior Bank Credit Facility by drawing a like amount on the revolving portion of the facility. The Company expects to report a pre-tax charge of approximately $0.3 million during the second quarter of 2005 for the pro-rata write-off of existing deferred loan costs and third-party fees and expenses associated with the amendment.

	The Senior Bank Credit Facility is secured by liens on a substantial portion of the Company’s assets (inclusive of its domestic subsidiaries), and pledges of all of the capital stock of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries. The loans and other obligations under the facility are guaranteed by each of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries and secured by a pledge of up to 65% of the capital stock of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries. Prepayments of loans outstanding under the Senior Bank Credit Facility are permitted at any time without premium or penalty, upon the giving of proper notice.

	The credit agreement governing the Senior Bank Credit Facility requires the Company to meet certain financial covenants, including, without limitation, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, leverage ratios, and a minimum interest coverage ratio. In addition, the Senior Bank Credit Facility contains certain covenants which, among other things, limit the incurrence of additional indebtedness, investments, payment of dividends, transactions with affiliates, asset sales, acquisitions, capital expenditures, mergers and consolidations, prepayments and modifications of other indebtedness, liens and encumbrances, and other matters customarily restricted in such agreements. In

	addition, the Senior Bank Credit Facility is subject to certain cross-default provisions with terms of the Company’s other indebtedness.

	$250 Million 9.875% Senior Notes. Interest on the $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 9.875% unsecured senior notes issued in May 2002 (the “9.875% Senior Notes”) accrued at the stated rate and was payable semi-annually on May 1 and November 1 of each year. The 9.875% Senior Notes were scheduled to mature on May 1, 2009. As described above, the 9.875% Senior Notes were purchased through a tender offer by the Company during the first quarter of 2005.

	$250 Million 7.5% Senior Notes. Interest on the $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 7.5% unsecured senior notes issued in May 2003 (the “$250 Million 7.5% Senior Notes”) accrues at the stated rate and is payable semi-annually on May 1 and November 1 of each year. The $250 Million 7.5% Senior Notes are scheduled to mature on May 1, 2011. At any time on or before May 1, 2006, the Company may redeem up to 35% of the notes with the net proceeds of certain equity offerings, as long as 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes remains outstanding after the redemption. The Company may redeem all or a portion of the notes on or after May 1, 2007. Redemption prices are set forth in the indenture governing the $250 Million 7.5% Senior Notes. The $250 Million 7.5% Senior Notes are guaranteed on an unsecured basis by all of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries.

	$200 Million 7.5% Senior Notes. Interest on the $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 7.5% unsecured senior notes issued in August 2003 (the “$200 Million 7.5% Senior Notes”) accrues at the stated rate and is payable semi-annually on May 1 and November 1 of each year. However, the notes were issued at a price of 101.125% of the principal amount of the notes, resulting in a premium of $2.25 million, which is amortized as a reduction to interest expense over the term of the notes. The $200 Million 7.5% Senior Notes were issued under the existing indenture and supplemental indenture governing the $250 Million 7.5% Senior Notes.

	$375 Million 6.25% Senior Notes. As previously described herein, on March 23, 2005, the Company completed the sale and issuance of $375.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 6.25% unsecured senior notes (the “$375 Million 6.25% Senior Notes”) in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. During April 2005, the Company filed a registration statement with the SEC, which the SEC declared effective May 4, 2005, to exchange the $375 Million 6.25% Senior Notes for a new issue of identical debt securities registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Proceeds from the original note offering, along with cash on hand, were used to purchase, through a cash tender offer, all of the 9.875% Senior Notes, to pay-down $110.0 million of the Term Loan D Facility portion of the Senior Bank Credit Facility, and to pay fees and expenses in connection therewith. The Company capitalized approximately $7.3 million of costs associated with the issuance of the $375 Million 6.25% Senior Notes.

	Interest on the $375 Million 6.25% Senior Notes accrues at the stated rate and is payable on March 15 and September 15 of each year. The $375 Million 6.25% Senior Notes are scheduled to mature on March 15, 2013. At any time on or before March 15, 2008, the Company may redeem up to 35% of the notes with the net proceeds of certain

	equity offerings, as long as 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes remains outstanding after the redemption. The Company may redeem all or a portion of the notes on or after March 15, 2009. Redemption prices are set forth in the indenture governing the $375 Million 6.25% Senior Notes.

	$30 Million Convertible Subordinated Notes. As of December 31, 2004, the Company had outstanding an aggregate of $30.0 million of convertible subordinated notes due February 28, 2007 (the “$30 Million Convertible Subordinated Notes”). Prior to May 2003, these notes accrued interest at 8.0% per year and were scheduled to mature February 28, 2005, subject to extension of such maturity until February 28, 2006 or February 28, 2007 by the holder. During May 2003, the Company and the holder amended the terms of the notes, reducing the interest rate to 4.0% per year and extending the maturity date to February 28, 2007. The amendment also extended the date on which the Company could generally require the holder to convert all or a portion of the notes into common stock to any time after February 28, 2005 from any time after February 28, 2004.

	On February 10, 2005, the Company provided notice to the holders of the $30 Million Convertible Subordinated Notes that the Company would require the holders to convert all of the notes into shares of the Company’s common stock on March 1, 2005. The conversion of the $30 Million Convertible Subordinated Notes resulted in the issuance of 3.4 million shares of the Company’s common stock. Although net income and cash flow will no longer reflect interest incurred and paid on such notes, the conversion of the notes into common stock had no impact on diluted earnings per share because, as further described in Note 10, net income for diluted earnings per share purposes is already adjusted to eliminate interest expense incurred on convertible notes, and the number of shares of common stock used in the calculation of diluted earnings per share reflects the incremental shares assuming conversion.

	restricted stock, the remaining 89,076 shares of restricted stock issued to certain other employees of the Company vest during 2008.

	During 2004 and 2003, the Company issued 52,600 shares and 94,500 shares of restricted common stock, respectively, to certain of the Company’s wardens. Each of the aggregate grants was valued at $1.6 million on the date of the award. All of the shares granted during 2003 vest during 2006, while all of the shares granted during 2004 vest during 2007.

	During the three months ended March 31, 2005, the Company expensed $477,000, net of forfeitures, relating to restricted common stock ($271,000 of which was recorded in operating expenses and $206,000 of which was recorded in general and administrative expenses). During the three months ended March 31, 2004, the Company expensed $174,000, net of forfeitures, relating to restricted common stock awarded to employees whose compensation is charged to operating expense. As of March 31, 2005, 317,831 of these shares of restricted stock remained outstanding and subject to vesting.

9.	EARNINGS PER SHARE

	In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings Per Share,” basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity. For the Company, diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income, as adjusted, by the weighted average number of common shares after considering the additional dilution related to convertible subordinated notes, restricted common stock plans and stock options and warrants.

	A reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic earnings per share computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted earnings per share computation is a follows (in thousands, except per share data):

10.	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

	Legal Proceedings

	General. The nature of the Company’s business results in claims and litigation alleging that it is liable for damages arising from the conduct of its employees, inmates or others. The Company maintains insurance to cover many of these claims which may mitigate the risk that any single claim would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, provided the claim is one for which coverage is available. The combination of self-insured retentions and deductible amounts means that, in the aggregate, the Company is subject to substantial self-insurance risk. In the opinion of management, other than those described below, there are no pending legal proceedings that would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Adversarial proceedings and litigation are, however, subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable decisions and rulings could occur which could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows for a period in which such decisions or rulings occur, or future periods.

	The USCC ESOP Litigation Settlement. During the second quarter of 2002, the Company completed the settlement of certain claims made against it as the successor to U.S. Corrections Corporation (“USCC”), a privately-held owner and operator of correctional and detention facilities which was acquired by a predecessor of the Company in April 1998, by participants in USCC’s Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”). As a result of the settlement, the Company made a cash payment of $575,000 to the plaintiffs. As described below, the Company was in litigation with USCC’s insurer seeking to recover all or a portion of this settlement amount.

	The USCC ESOP litigation, entitled Horn v. McQueen, continued to proceed, however, against two other defendants, Milton Thompson and Robert McQueen, both of whom were stockholders and executive officers of USCC and trustees of the ESOP prior to the Company’s acquisition of USCC. In the Horn litigation, the ESOP participants alleged numerous violations of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, including breaches of fiduciary duties to the ESOP by causing the ESOP to overpay for employer securities. On July 29, 2002, the United States District Court of the Western District of Kentucky found that McQueen and Thompson had breached their fiduciary duties to the ESOP and had acted to benefit themselves to the detriment of the ESOP participants. In January 2005, the Court determined that the plaintiffs were entitled to recover approximately $21 million in damages, including pre-judgment interest, from McQueen and Thompson.

	In the second quarter of 2001, Northfield Insurance Co. (“Northfield”), the issuer of the liability insurance policy to USCC and its directors and officers, filed suit against McQueen, Thompson and the Company seeking a declaration that it did not owe coverage under the policy for any liabilities arising from the Horn litigation. Among other things, Northfield claimed that it did not receive timely notice of the litigation under the terms of the policy. McQueen and Thompson subsequently filed a cross- claim in the Northfield litigation against the Company in which they asserted the Company was obligated to indemnify them for any liability arising out of the Horn

11.	INCOME TAXES

	Income taxes are accounted for under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS 109”). SFAS 109 generally requires the Company to record deferred income taxes for the tax effect of differences between book and tax bases of its assets and liabilities.

	Deferred income taxes reflect the available net operating losses and the net tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Realization of the future tax benefits related to deferred tax assets is dependent on many factors, including the Company’s past earnings history, expected future earnings, the character and jurisdiction of such earnings, unsettled circumstances that, if unfavorably resolved, would adversely affect utilization of its deferred tax assets, carryback and carryforward periods, and tax strategies that could potentially enhance the likelihood of realization of a deferred tax asset.

	The Company’s effective tax rate was reduced to 34.9% during the first quarter of 2005 compared with 40.0% during the same period in the prior year. The lower effective tax rate resulted from certain tax planning strategies implemented during the fourth quarter of 2004.

12.	SEGMENT REPORTING

	As of March 31, 2005, the Company owned and managed 39 correctional and detention facilities, and managed 25 correctional and detention facilities it did not own. Management views the Company’s operating results in two reportable segments: owned and managed correctional and detention facilities and managed-only correctional and detention facilities. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in the notes to consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2004 Form 10-K. Owned and managed facilities include the operating results of those facilities owned and managed by the Company. Managed-only facilities include the operating results of those facilities owned by a third party and managed by the Company. The Company measures the operating performance of each facility within the above two reportable segments, without differentiation, based on facility contribution. The Company defines facility contribution as a facility’s operating income or loss from operations before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Since each of the Company’s facilities within the two reportable segments exhibit similar economic characteristics, provide similar services to governmental agencies, and operate under a similar set of operating procedures and regulatory guidelines, the facilities within the identified segments have been aggregated and reported as one reportable segment.

	The revenue and facility contribution for the reportable segments and a reconciliation to the Company’s operating income is as follows for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 (dollars in thousands):

13.	SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW DISCLOSURE

	During the three months ended March 31, 2005, $30.0 million of convertible subordinated notes were converted into 3.4 million shares of common stock. As a result, long term debt was reduced by, and common stock and additional paid-in capital were increased by, $30.0 million.


ITEM 2.	MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

	•	fluctuations in operating results because of changes in occupancy levels, competition, increases in cost of operations, fluctuations in interest rates, and risks of operations;

	•	changes in the privatization of the corrections and detention industry and the public acceptance of our services;

	•	our ability to obtain and maintain correctional facility management contracts, including as the result of sufficient governmental appropriations, inmate disturbances, and the timing of the opening of new facilities;

	•	increases in costs to develop or expand correctional facilities that exceed original estimates, or the inability to complete such projects on schedule as a result of various factors, many of which are beyond our control, such as weather, labor conditions, and material shortages, resulting in increased construction costs;

	•	changes in governmental policy and in legislation and regulation of the corrections and detention industry that adversely affect our business;

	•	the availability of debt and equity financing on terms that are favorable to us; and

	•	general economic and market conditions.

	1.	A “modified prospective” method in which compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date (a) based on the requirements of SFAS 123R for all share-based payments granted after the effective date and (b) based on the requirements of SFAS 123 for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of SFAS 123R that remain unvested on the effective date.

	2.	A “modified retrospective” method which includes the requirements of the modified prospective method described above, but also permits entities to restate based on the amounts previously recognized under SFAS 123 for purposes of pro forma disclosures either for (a) all prior periods presented or (b) prior interim periods of the year of adoption.
