THE GEO GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The unaudited consolidated financial statements of The GEO Group, Inc., a Florida corporation, and
subsidiaries (the Company, or GEO), included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and the
instructions to Form 10-Q and consequently do not include all disclosures required by Form 10-K.
Additional information may be obtained by referring to the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended January 2, 2011. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of
normal recurring items) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial information for the
interim periods reported in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been made. Results of
operations for the thirteen weeks ended April 3, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results
for the entire fiscal year ending January 1, 2012.
The GEO Group, Inc. is a leading provider of government-outsourced services specializing in the
management of correctional, detention, mental health, residential treatment and re-entry
facilities, and the provision of community based services and youth services in the United States,
Australia, South Africa, the United Kingdom and Canada. The Company operates a broad range of
correctional and detention facilities including maximum, medium and minimum security prisons,
immigration detention centers, minimum security detention centers, mental health, residential
treatment and community based re-entry facilities. The Company offers counseling, education and/or
treatment to inmates with alcohol and drug abuse problems at most of the domestic facilities it
manages. The Company, through its acquisition of BII Holding Corporation (BI Holding), is also
a provider of innovative compliance technologies, industry-leading monitoring services, and
evidence-based supervision and treatment programs for community-based parolees, probationers and
pretrial defendants. Additionally, BI Holding has an exclusive contract with U.S. Immigration and
Customs Enforcement (ICE) to provide supervision and reporting services designed to improve the
participation of non-detained aliens in the immigration court system. The Company develops new
facilities based on contract awards, using its project development expertise and experience to
design, construct and finance what it believes are state-of-the-art facilities that maximize
security and efficiency. The Company also provides secure transportation services for offender and
detainee populations as contracted.
On August 12, 2010, the Company acquired Cornell Companies Inc., (Cornell) and on February 10,
2011, the Company completed its acquisition of BI Holding. As of April 3, 2011, the Companys
worldwide operations included the management and/or ownership of approximately 80,000 beds at 116
correctional, detention and residential treatment facilities, including projects under development,
and also included the provision of monitoring services, tracking more than 60,000 offenders on
behalf of approximately 900 federal, state and local correctional agencies located in all 50
states. Refer to Note 2.
Except as discussed in Note 15, the accounting policies followed for quarterly financial reporting
are the same as those disclosed in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the
Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 2,
2011 for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2011. During the thirteen weeks ended April 3, 2011 the
Company implemented ASU No. 2009-13 which provides amendments to revenue recognition criteria for
separating consideration in multiple element arrangements. The amendments, among other things,
establish the selling price of a deliverable, replace the term fair value with selling price and
eliminate the residual method such that consideration can be allocated to the deliverables using
the relative selling price method based on GEOs specific assumptions. As discussed in Note 2,
the Company is still in the process of reviewing the accounting policies of BI to ensure conformity
of such accounting policies to those of the Company. At this time, the Company is not aware of any
differences in accounting policies that would have a material impact on the consolidated financial
statements as of April 3, 2011.
Reclassifications
The Companys noncontrolling interest in South Africa Custodial Custodial Management Pty. Limited
(SACM) has been reclassified from operating expenses to noncontrolling interest in the
consolidated statements of income for the thirteen weeks ended April 4, 2010, as this item has
become more significant due to the noncontrolling interest in Municipal Correctional Finance, L.P.
(MCF) acquired from Cornell. Also, as a result of the acquisition of Cornell, managements review
of certain segment financial data was revised with regard to the Bronx Community Re-entry Center
and the Brooklyn Community Re-entry Center. These facilities now report within the
6
GEO Care segment
and are no longer included within the U.S. Detention & Corrections segment. All prior year amounts
have been conformed to the current year presentation.
Discontinued operations
The termination of any of the Companys management contracts, by expiration or otherwise, may
result in the classification of the operating results of such management contract, net of taxes, as
a discontinued operation. The Company reflects such events as discontinued operations so long as
the financial results can be clearly identified, the operations and cash flows are completely
eliminated from ongoing operations, and so long as the Company does not have any significant
continuing involvement in the operations of the component after the disposal or termination
transaction. The component unit for which cash flows are considered to be completely eliminated
exists at the customer level. Historically, the Company has classified operations as discontinued
in the period they are announced as normally all continuing cash flows cease within three to six
months of that date.
2. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
Acquisition of BII Holding
On
February 10, 2011, the Company completed its acquisition of B.I.
Incorporated (BI), a Colorado
corporation, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 21, 2010 (the
Merger Agreement), among GEO, BII Holding, a Delaware corporation, which owns BI, GEO Acquisition
IV, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of GEO (Merger Sub), BII Investors
IF LP, in its capacity as the stockholders representative, and AEA Investors 2006 Fund L.P (the
BI Acquisition). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into BII
Holding, with BII Holding emerging as the surviving corporation of the merger. As a result of the
BI Acquisition, the Company paid merger consideration of $409.6 million in cash, net of cash
acquired of $9.7 million, excluding transaction related expenses and subject to certain
adjustments, for 100% of BIs outstanding common stock. Under the Merger Agreement, $12.5 million
of the merger consideration was placed in an escrow account for a one-year period to satisfy any
applicable indemnification claims pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement by GEO, the Merger
Sub or its affiliates. At the time of the BI Acquisition, approximately $78.4 million, including
accrued interest, was outstanding under BIs senior term loan and $107.5 million, including accrued
interest. was outstanding under its senior subordinated note purchase agreement, excluding the
unamortized debt discount. All indebtedness of BI under its senior term loan and senior
subordinated note purchase agreement were repaid by BI with a portion of the $409.6 million of
merger consideration. In connection with the BI Acquisition and included in general and
administrative expenses, the Company incurred $3.9 million in non-recurring transaction costs for
the thirteen weeks ended April 3, 2011.
The Company is identified as the acquiring company for US GAAP accounting purposes and believes its
acquisition of BI provides it with the ability to offer turn-key solutions to its customers in
managing the full lifecycle of an offender from arraignment to reintegration into the community,
which the Company refers to as the corrections lifecycle. Under the acquisition method of
accounting, the purchase price for BI was allocated to BIs net tangible and intangible assets
based on their estimated fair values as of February 10, 2011, the date of closing and the date that
the Company obtained control over BI. In order to determine the fair values of certain tangible and
intangible assets acquired, the Company has engaged a third party independent valuation specialist.
For all other assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the recorded fair value was determined by
the Companys management and represents an estimate of the price that would be received to sell an
asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants.
The preliminary allocation of the purchase price is based on the best information available and is
provisional pending, among other things: (i) final agreement of the adjustment to the purchase
price based upon the level of net working capital, and the fair value of certain components
thereof, transferred at closing; (ii) the valuation of the fair values and useful lives of property
and equipment acquired; (iii) finalization of the valuations and useful lives for intangible assets
for customer relationships, non-compete agreements, technology and patents; (iv) income taxes; and
(v) certain contingent liabilities. During the measurement period (which is not to exceed one year
from the acquisition date), additional assets or liabilities may be recognized if new information
is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known,
would have resulted in the recognition of those assets or liabilities as of that date. The
preliminary purchase price allocation may be adjusted after obtaining additional information
regarding, among other things, asset valuations, liabilities assumed and revisions of previous
estimates. The Company does not believe that any of the goodwill recorded as a result of the BI
Acquisition will be deductible for federal income tax purposes. The Company is still in the process
of reviewing the accounting policies of BI to ensure conformity of such accounting policies to
those of the Company. At this time, the Company is not aware of any differences in accounting
policies that would have a material impact on the consolidated financial
7
statements as of April 3,
2011. The preliminary purchase price consideration of $409.6 million, net of cash acquired of $9.7
million,
excluding transaction related expenses and subject to certain adjustments, was allocated to the
assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on managements estimates at the time of this

The Company has included revenue and earnings, excluding intercompany transactions, of
approximately $17.8 million and $0.5 million, respectively, in its consolidated statement of income
for thirteen weeks ended April 3, 2011 for BI activity since February 10, 2011, the date of
acquisition.
Acquisition of Cornell Companies, Inc.
On August 12, 2010, the Company completed its acquisition of Cornell pursuant to a definitive
merger agreement entered into on April 18, 2010, and amended on July 22, 2010, among the Company,
GEO Acquisition III, Inc., and Cornell. Under the terms of the merger agreement, the Company
acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of Cornell for aggregate consideration of $618.3
million. The current allocation of the purchase price is subject to change within the measurement
period (up to one year from the acquisition date) if new information is obtained about facts and
circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have resulted in the
recognition of those assets or liabilities as of that date. The primary areas that are not yet
finalized relate to the calculation of certain tax assets and liabilities. Measurement period
adjustments that the Company determines to be material will be applied retrospectively to the
period of acquisition.
The Company has retrospectively adjusted provisional amounts with respect to the Cornell
acquisition that were recognized at the acquisition date to reflect new information obtained about
facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected
the measurement of the amounts recognized as of that date. Such adjustments resulted in a net
decrease of $0.9 million in goodwill, an increase to accounts receivable of $0.2 million, a
decrease to prepaid and other current assets of $0.3 million and a decrease to accrued expenses of
$1.0 million. The purchase price allocation as of April 3, 2011 is as follows (in 000s):

Noncontrolling interests
Noncontrolling interests in consolidated entities represent equity that other investors have
contributed to MCF and the noncontrolling interest in SACM. Noncontrolling interests are adjusted
for income and losses allocable to the other shareholders in these entities.
Upon acquisition of Cornell in August 2010, the Company assumed MCF as a variable interest entity
and allocated a portion of the purchase price to the noncontrolling interest based on the estimated
fair value of MCF as of August 12, 2010. The noncontrolling interest in MCF represents 100% of the
equity in MCF which was contributed by its partners at inception in 2001. The Company includes the
results of operations and financial position of MCF in its consolidated financial statements. MCF
owns eleven facilities which it leases to the Company.
The Company includes the results of operations and financial position of SACM, its majority-owned
subsidiary, in its consolidated financial statements. SACM was established in 2001 to operate
correctional centers in South Africa. SACM currently provides security and other management
services for the Kutama Sinthumule Correctional Centre in the Republic of South Africa under a
25-year management contract which commenced in February 2002. The Companys and the second joint
venture partners shares in the profits of SACM are 88.75% and 11.25%, respectively. There were no
changes in the Companys ownership percentage of the consolidated subsidiary during the thirteen
weeks ended April 3, 2011. The noncontrolling interest as of April 3, 2011 and January 2, 2011 is
included in Total Shareholders Equity in the accompanying
Consolidated Balance Sheets. In the thirteen weeks ended April 3,
2011, there was a cash distribution to the partners of MCF of $4.0
million. There were
no contributions from owners or distributions to owners in the thirteen weeks ended April 4, 2010.
4. EQUITY INCENTIVE PLANS
The Company had awards outstanding under four equity compensation plans at April 3, 2011: The
Wackenhut Corrections Corporation 1994 Stock Option Plan (the 1994 Plan); the 1995 Non-Employee
Director Stock Option Plan (the 1995 Plan); the Wackenhut Corrections Corporation 1999 Stock
Option Plan (the 1999 Plan); and The GEO Group, Inc. 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the 2006 Plan
and, together with the 1994 Plan, the 1995 Plan and the 1999 Plan, the Company Plans).
On August 12, 2010, the Companys Board of Directors adopted and its shareholders approved an
amendment to the 2006 Plan to increase the number of shares of common stock subject to awards under
the 2006 Plan by 2,000,000 shares from 2,400,000 to 4,400,000 shares of common stock. On February
16, 2011, the Companys Board of Directors approved Amendment No. 1 to the 2006 Plan to provide
that of the 2,000,000 additional shares of Common Stock that were authorized to be issued pursuant
to awards granted under the 2006 Plan, up to 1,083,000 of such shares may be issued in connection
with awards, other than stock options and stock appreciation
10
rights, that are settled in common
stock. The 2006 Plan, as amended, specifies that up to 2,166,000 of such total shares pursuant to
awards granted under the plan may constitute awards other than stock options and stock appreciation
rights, including shares of restricted stock. As of April 3, 2011, under the 2006 Plan, the
Company had 1,445,350 shares of common stock available for issuance pursuant to future awards that
may be granted under the plan of which up to 1,216,196 shares were available for the issuance of
awards other than stock options. See Restricted Stock below for further discussion.

The Company uses a Black-Scholes option valuation model to estimate the fair value of each option
awarded. During the thirteen weeks ended April 3, 2011, the Companys Board of Directors approved
the issuance of 477,500 stock option awards to employees of the Company and 25,000 stock option
awards to the Companys directors. These awards vested 20% on the date of grant and will vest in
20% increments annually through 2015. The fair value of each option awarded was as $9.72. For the
thirteen weeks ended April 3, 2011 and April 4, 2010, the amount of stock-based compensation
expense related to stock options was $1.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively. As of April 3,
2011, the Company had $4.8 million of unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested stock
option awards that are expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.4 years.
Restricted Stock
Shares of restricted stock become unrestricted shares of common stock upon vesting on a one-for-one
basis. The cost of these awards is determined using the fair value of the Companys common stock on
the date of the grant and compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period. The shares of
restricted stock granted under the 2006 Plan vest in equal 25% increments on each of the four
anniversary dates immediately following the date of grant. A summary of the activity of restricted
stock outstanding is as follows:

During the thirteen weeks ended April 3, 2011, the Companys Board of Directors approved awards for
165,010 shares of restricted stock to its senior employees and directors. Of these restricted
stock awards, 49,010 of these shares vest over three years while the remaining 116,000 vest over
four years. In addition, the Companys Board of Directors approved the award of 205,000
performance based shares to the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Senior Vice Presidents which
will vest over a 3-year period. These performance based shares will be forfeited if the Company
does not achieve certain targeted revenue in its fiscal year ended January 1, 2012. The aggregate
fair value of these awards, based on the closing price of the Companys common stock on the grant
date, was $9.1 million. During the thirteen weeks ended April 3, 2011 and April 4, 2010, the
Company recognized $0.7 million and $0.8 million, respectively, of compensation expense related to
its outstanding shares of restricted stock. As of April 3, 2011, the Company had $10.0 million of
unrecognized compensation expense that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period
of 3.0 years.

5. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the income from continuing operations attributable
to The GEO Group, Inc. shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding shares of common
stock. The calculation of diluted earnings per share is similar to that of basic earnings per
share, except that the denominator includes dilutive common stock equivalents such as stock options
and shares of restricted stock. Basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) were calculated for
the thirteen weeks ended April 3, 2011 and April 4, 2010 as follows (in thousands, except per share
data):

For the thirteen weeks ended April 3, 2011, 32,074 weighted average shares of stock underlying
options were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS because the effect would be
anti-dilutive. No shares of restricted stock were anti-dilutive.
For the thirteen weeks ended April 4, 2010, 56,392 weighted average shares of stock underlying
options were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS because the effect would be
anti-dilutive. No shares of restricted stock were anti-dilutive.
6. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Companys primary objective in holding derivatives is to reduce the volatility of earnings and
cash flows associated with changes in interest rates. The Company measures its derivative financial
instruments at fair value.
As of April 3, 2011, the Company had four interest rate swap agreements in the aggregate notional
amount of $100.0 million. The Company has designated these interest rate swaps as hedges against
changes in the fair value of a designated portion of the 73/4% Senior Notes due 2017 (73/4% Senior
Notes) due to changes in underlying interest rates. These swap agreements, which have payment,
expiration dates and call provisions that mirror the terms of the 73/4% Senior Notes, effectively
convert $100.0 million of the 73/4% Senior Notes into variable rate obligations. Each of the swaps
has a termination clause that gives the counterparty the right to terminate the interest rate swaps
at fair market value, under certain circumstances. In addition to the termination clause, the
Agreements also have call provisions which specify that the lender can elect to settle the swap for
the call option price. Under the Agreements, the Company receives a fixed interest rate payment
from the financial counterparties to the agreements equal to 73/4% per year calculated on the
notional $100.0 million amount, while it makes a variable interest rate payment to the same
counterparties equal to the three-month LIBOR plus a fixed margin of between 4.16% and 4.29%, also
calculated on the notional $100.0 million amount. Changes in the fair value of the interest rate
swaps are recorded in earnings along with related designated changes in the value of the 73/4% Senior
Notes. Total net gains (losses) recognized and recorded in earnings related to these fair value
hedges was $(1.0) million and $0.4 million in the thirteen weeks ended April 3, 2011 and April 4,
2010 respectively. As of April 3, 2011 and January 2, 2011, the swap assets fair values were $2.3
million and $3.3 million, respectively and are included as Other Non-Current Assets in the
accompanying balance sheets. There was no material ineffectiveness of these interest rate swaps for
the fiscal periods ended April 3, 2011 or April 4, 2010.
The Companys Australian subsidiary is a party to an interest rate swap agreement to fix the
interest rate on its variable rate non-recourse debt to 9.7%. The Company has determined the swap,
which has a notional amount of $50.9 million, payment and expiration dates, and call provisions
that coincide with the terms of the non-recourse debt to be an effective cash flow hedge.
Accordingly, the Company records the change in the value of the interest rate swap in accumulated
other comprehensive income, net of applicable
12
income taxes. Total unrealized loss, net of tax,
recognized in the periods and recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax,
related to this cash flow hedge was $0.2 million and $0.0 million for the thirteen weeks ended
April 3, 2011 and April 4, 2010, respectively. The total value of the swap asset as of April 3,
2011 and January 2, 2011 was $1.6 million and $1.8 million, respectively, and is recorded as a
component of other assets within the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. There was no
material ineffectiveness of this interest rate swap for the fiscal periods presented. The Company
does not expect to enter into any transactions during the next twelve months which would result in
the reclassification into earnings or losses associated with this swap currently reported in
accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
7. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS, NET
The Company has retrospectively adjusted a portion of its goodwill with respect to the Cornell
acquisition to reflect changes in the provisional amounts recognized at January 2, 2011 based on
new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date
that, if known, would have affected the measurement of the amounts recognized as of that date.
Refer to Note 2. Such adjustments resulted in a net decrease of $0.9 million in goodwill which is
reflected in the balance below as of January 2, 2011. Changes in the Companys goodwill balances
for the thirteen weeks ended April 3, 2011 were as follows (in thousands):

Amortization expense was $4.1 million and $0.6 million for the thirteen weeks ended April 3, 2011
and April 4, 2010, respectively and primarily related to the amortization of intangible assets for
acquired management contracts. As of April 3, 2011, the weighted average period before the next
contract renewal or extension for all of the Companys facility management contracts was
approximately 1.3 years. Although the facility management contracts acquired have renewal and
extension terms in the near term, the Company has historically maintained these relationships
beyond the contractual periods.
Estimated amortization expense related to the Companys finite-lived intangible assets for the
remainder of fiscal year 2011 through fiscal year 2015 and thereafter is as follows (in thousands):

The table above includes the estimated amortization of the finite-lived intangible assets acquired
from BI on February 10, 2011. As discussed in Note 2, the preliminary allocation of the purchase
price is based on the best information available and is provisional pending, among other things,
the finalization of the valuation of intangible assets, including the estimated useful lives of the
finite-lived intangible assets. The finalization of fair value assessments relative to the
finite-lived intangible assets may have an impact on the Companys estimated future amortization
expense.
8. FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
The Company is required to measure certain of its financial assets and liabilities at fair value on
a recurring basis. The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an
asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the
measurement date (exit price). The Company classifies and discloses its fair value measurements
in one of the following categories: Level 1-unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are
accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities; Level
2-quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or
indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and Level 3- prices or
valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement
and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity). The Company recognizes
transfers between Levels as of the actual date of the event or change in circumstances that cause
the transfer.
All of the Companys interest rate swap derivatives were in the Companys favor as of April 3, 2011
and are presented as assets in the table below and in the accompanying balance sheet. The following
tables provide a summary of the Companys significant financial assets and liabilities carried at
fair value and measured on a recurring basis as of April 3, 2011 and January 2, 2011 (in

The financial investments included in the Companys Level 2 fair value measurements as of April 3,
2011 and January 2, 2011 consist of an interest rate swap asset held by our Australian subsidiary,
other interest rate swap assets of the Company, an investment in Canadian dollar denominated fixed
income securities and a guaranteed investment contract which is a restricted investment related to
CSC of Tacoma LLC. The Australian subsidiarys interest rate swap asset is valued using a
discounted cash flow model based on projected Australian borrowing rates. The Companys other
interest rate swap assets and liabilities are based on pricing models which consider prevailing
interest rates, credit risk and similar instruments. The Canadian dollar denominated securities,
not actively traded, are valued using quoted rates for these and similar securities. The restricted
investment in the guaranteed investment contract is valued using quoted rates for these and similar
securities.

The fair values of the Companys Cash and cash equivalents, and Restricted cash and investments
approximate the carrying values of these assets at April 3, 2011 and January 2, 2011. Restricted
cash consists of debt service funds used for payments on the Companys non-recourse debt. The fair
values of our 73/4% Senior Notes, 6.625% Senior Notes, and certain non-recourse debt are based on
market prices, where available, or similar instruments. The fair value of the non-recourse debt
related to the Companys Australian subsidiary is
15
estimated using a discounted cash flow model based on current Australian borrowing rates for similar instruments. The fair value of the
non-recourse debt related to MCF is estimated using a discounted cash flow model based on the
Companys current borrowing rates for similar instruments. The fair value of the borrowings under
the Credit Agreement is based on an estimate of trading value considering the Companys borrowing
rate, the undrawn spread and similar instruments.
10. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
The Company evaluates its joint ventures and other entities in which it has a variable interest (a
VIE), generally in the form of investments, loans, guarantees, or equity in order to determine if
it has a controlling financial interest and is required to consolidate the entity as a result. The
reporting entity with a variable interest that provides the entity with a controlling financial
interest in the VIE will have both of the following characteristics: (i) the power to direct the
activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIEs economic performance and (ii) the
obligation to absorb the losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the
right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.
The Company consolidates South Texas Local Development Corporation (STLDC), a VIE. STLDC was
created to finance construction for the development of a 1,904-bed facility in Frio County, Texas.
STLDC, the owner of the complex, issued $49.5 million in taxable revenue bonds and has an operating
agreement with the Company, which provides the Company with the sole and exclusive right to operate
and manage the detention center. The operating agreement and bond indenture require the revenue
from the contract to be used to fund the periodic debt service requirements as they become due. The
net revenues, if any, after various expenses such as trustee fees, property taxes and insurance
premiums are distributed to the Company to cover operating expenses and management fees. The
Company is responsible for the entire operations of the facility including the payment of all
operating expenses whether or not there are sufficient revenues. The bonds have a ten-year term and
are non-recourse to the Company. At the end of the ten-year term of the bonds, title and ownership
of the facility transfers from STLDC to the Company. See Note 11.
As a result of the acquisition of Cornell in August 2010, the Company assumed the variable interest
in MCF of which it is the primary beneficiary and consolidates the entity as a result. MCF was
created in August 2001 as a special limited partnership for the purpose of acquiring, owning,
leasing and operating low to medium security adult and juvenile correction and treatment
facilities. At its inception, MCF purchased assets representing eleven facilities from Cornell and
leased those assets back to Cornell under a Master Lease Agreement (the Lease). These assets were
purchased from Cornell using proceeds from the 8.47% Revenue Bonds due 2016, which are limited
non-recourse obligations of MCF and collateralized by the bond reserves, assignment of subleases
and substantially all assets related to the eleven facilities. Under the terms of the Lease with
Cornell, assumed by the Company, the Company will lease the assets for the remainder of the 20-year
base term, which ends in 2021, and has options at its sole discretion to renew the Lease for up to
approximately 25 additional years. MCFs sole source of revenue is from the Company and as such
the Company has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact its
performance. The Companys risk is generally limited to the rental obligations under the operating
leases. This entity is included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and all
intercompany transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
The Company does not consolidate its 50% owned South African joint venture in South African
Custodial Services Pty. Limited (SACS), a VIE. SACS joint venture investors are GEO and Kensani
Holdings, Pty. Ltd; each partner owns a 50% share. The Company has determined it is not the primary
beneficiary of SACS since it does not have the power to direct the activities of SACS that most
significantly impact its performance. As such, this entity is reported as an equity affiliate. SACS
was established in 2001 and was subsequently awarded a 25-year contract to design, finance and
build the Kutama Sinthumule Correctional Centre in Louis Trichardt, South Africa. To fund the
construction of the prison, SACS obtained long-term financing from its equity partners and lenders,
the repayment of which is fully guaranteed by the South African government, except in the event of
default, in which case the government guarantee is reduced to 80%. The Companys maximum exposure
for loss under this contract is limited to its investment in the joint venture of $8.5 million at
April 3, 2011 and its guarantees related to SACS discussed in Note 11.
The Company does not consolidate its 50% owned joint venture in the United Kingdom. In February
2011, The GEO Group Limited, the Companys wholly-owned subsidiary in the United Kingdom (GEO
UK), executed a Shareholders Agreement (the Shareholders Agreement) with Amey Community Limited
(Amey), GEO Amey PECS Limited (GEOAmey) and Amey UK PLC (Amey Guarantor) to form a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. GEOAmey
was formed by GEO UK and Amey for the purpose of performing prisoner escort and related custody
services in the United Kingdom and Wales. In order to form this private company, GEOAmey issued
share capital of £100 divided into 100 shares of £1 each
and allocated 50/50 to GEO UK and Amey. GEO
UK and Amey each have three directors appointed to the Board of Directors and neither party has the
power to direct the
16
activities that most significantly impact the performance of GEOAmey. Both parties guarantee the availability of working capital in equal proportion to ensure that GEOAmey
can comply with future contractual commitments related to the performance of its operations. As of
April 3, 2011, GEOAmey had not incurred any operating costs and as such, there was no impact to the
Companys consolidated financial statements as of and for the thirteen weeks ended April 3, 2011.
The Company expects that GEOAmey will commence operations in August 2011.
11. DEBT
Senior Credit Facility
On August 4, 2010, the Company terminated its Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (Prior
Senior Credit Agreement) and entered into a new Credit Agreement (the Senior Credit Facility),
by and among GEO, as Borrower, BNP Paribas, as Administrative Agent, and the lenders who are, or
may from time to time become, a party thereto. On February 8, 2011, the Company entered into
Amendment No. 1 (Amendment No. 1), to the Senior Credit Facility. Amendment No. 1, among other
things amended certain definitions and covenants relating to the total leverage ratios and the
senior secured leverage ratios set forth in the Senior Credit Facility. This amendment increased
the Companys borrowing capacity by $250.0 million. As of April 3, 2011, the Senior Credit
Facility, as amended, was comprised of: (i) a $150.0 million Term Loan A due August 2015 (Term Loan
A), bearing interest at LIBOR plus 2.25%, (ii) a $150.0 million Term Loan A-2 due August 2015
(Term Loan A-2), bearing interest at LIBOR plus 2.75%, (iii) a $200.0 million Term Loan B due
August 2016 (Term Loan B) bearing interest at LIBOR plus 3.25% with a LIBOR floor of 1.50%, and
(iv) a $500.0 million Revolving Credit Facility due August 2015 (Revolver) bearing interest at
LIBOR plus 2.25%.
Incremental borrowings of $150.0 million under the Companys amended Senior Credit Facility along
with proceeds from the Companys $300.0 million offering of the 6.625% Senior Notes were used to
finance the acquisition of BI. As of April 3, 2011, the Company had $493.5 million in aggregate
borrowings outstanding, net of discount, under the Term Loan A, Term Loan A-2 and Term Loan B,
$210.0 million in borrowings under the Revolver, approximately $70.4 million in letters of credit
and $219.6 million in additional borrowing capacity under the Revolver. In connection with these
borrowings, the Company recorded $9.3 million of deferred financing fees included in Other
Non-Current Assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of April 3, 2011. The
weighted average interest rate on outstanding borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility, as
amended, as of April 3, 2011 was 3.3%.
Indebtedness under the Revolver, the Term Loan A and the Term Loan A-2 bears interest based on the
Total Leverage Ratio as of the most recent determination date, as defined, in each of the instances
below at the stated rate:
|
|
|
|
|
Interest Rate under the Revolver, |
|
|
Term Loan A and Term Loan A-2 |
LIBOR borrowings |
|
LIBOR plus 2.00% to 3.00%. |

|
Prime Rate plus 1.00% to 2.00%. |
Letters of credit |
|
2.00% to 3.00%. |
Unused Revolver |
|
0.375% to 0.50%. |
The Senior Credit Facility contains certain customary representations and warranties, and certain
customary covenants that restrict the Companys ability to, among other things as permitted (i)
create, incur or assume indebtedness, (ii) create, incur, assume or permit liens, (iii) make loans
and investments, (iv) engage in mergers, acquisitions and asset sales, (v) make restricted
payments, (vi) issue, sell or otherwise dispose of capital stock, (vii) engage in transactions with
affiliates, (viii) allow the total leverage ratio or senior secured leverage ratio to exceed
certain maximum ratios or allow the interest coverage ratio to be less than a certain ratio, (ix)
cancel, forgive, make any voluntary or optional payment or prepayment on, or redeem or acquire for
value any senior notes, (x) alter the business the Company conducts, and (xi) materially impair the
Companys lenders security interests in the collateral for its loans.
The Company must not exceed the following Total Leverage Ratios, as computed at the end of each
fiscal quarter for the immediately preceding four quarter-period:

|
|

The Senior Credit Facility also does not permit the Company to exceed the following Senior Secured
Leverage Ratios, as computed at the end of each fiscal quarter for the immediately preceding four
quarter-period:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Senior Secured Leverage Ratio |

day of the second quarter of the fiscal year 2013 |
|
|
3.00 to 1.00 |
|
Thereafter |
|
|
2.75 to 1.00 |
|
Additionally, there is an Interest Coverage Ratio under which the lender will not permit a ratio of
less than 3.00 to 1.00 relative to (a) Adjusted EBITDA for any period of four consecutive fiscal
quarters to (b) Interest Expense, less that attributable to non-recourse debt of unrestricted
subsidiaries.
Events of default under the Senior Credit Facility include, but are not limited to, (i) the
Companys failure to pay principal or interest when due, (ii) the Companys material breach of any
representations or warranty, (iii) covenant defaults, (iv) liquidation, reorganization or other
relief relating to bankruptcy or insolvency, (v) cross default under certain other material
indebtedness, (vi) unsatisfied final judgments over a specified threshold, (vii) material
environmental liability claims which have been asserted against the Company, and (viii) a change in
control. All of the obligations under the Senior Credit Facility are unconditionally guaranteed by
certain of the Companys subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of the Companys present and
future tangible and intangible assets and all present and future tangible and intangible assets of
each guarantor, including but not limited to (i) a first-priority pledge of substantially all of
the outstanding capital stock owned by the Company and each guarantor, and (ii) perfected
first-priority security interests in substantially all of the Companys, and each guarantors,
present and future tangible and intangible assets and the present and future tangible and
intangible assets of each guarantor. The Companys failure to comply with any of the covenants
under its Senior Credit Facility could cause an event of default under such documents and result in
an acceleration of all outstanding senior secured indebtedness. The Company believes it was in
compliance with all of the covenants of the Senior Credit Facility as of April 3, 2011.
6.625% Senior Notes
On February 10, 2011, the Company completed a private offering of $300.0 million in aggregate
principal amount of 6.625% senior unsecured notes due 2021. These senior unsecured notes
pay interest semi-annually in cash in arrears on February 15 and August 15, beginning on August 15,
2011. The Company realized net proceeds of $293.3 million at the close of the transaction and used
the net proceeds of the offering, together with borrowings of $150.0 million under the Senior
Credit Facility, to finance the BI Acquisition. The remaining net proceeds from the offering were
used for general corporate purposes.
The 6.625% Senior Notes are guaranteed by certain subsidiaries and are unsecured, senior
obligations of the Company and these obligations rank as follows: pari passu with any unsecured,
senior indebtedness of the Company and the guarantors, including the 73/4% Senior Notes; senior to
any future indebtedness of the Company and the guarantors that is expressly subordinated to the
6.625% Senior Notes and the guarantees; effectively junior to any secured indebtedness of the
Company and the guarantors, including indebtedness under its Senior Credit Facility, to the extent
of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and structurally junior to all obligations
of the Companys subsidiaries that are not guarantors.
On or after February 15, 2016, the Company may, at its option, redeem all or part of the 6.625%
Senior Notes upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days notice, at the redemption prices
(expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest
and liquidated damages, if any, on the 6.625% Senior Notes redeemed, to the applicable redemption
date, if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning on February 15 of the years indicated below:

Before February 15, 2016, the Company may redeem some or all of the 6.625% Senior Notes at a
redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of each note to be redeemed plus a make
whole premium, together with accrued and unpaid interest and liquidated damages, if any, to the
date of redemption. In addition, at any time before February 15, 2014, the Company may redeem up to
35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 6.625% Senior Notes with the net cash proceeds from
specified equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 106.625% of the principal amount of each
note to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest and liquidated damages, if any, to the date
of redemption.
The indenture governing the notes contains certain covenants, including limitations and
restrictions on the Company and its restricted subsidiaries ability to: incur additional
indebtedness or issue preferred stock; make dividend payments or other restricted payments; create
liens; sell assets; enter into transactions with affiliates; and enter into mergers, consolidations
or sales of all or substantially all of the Companys assets. As of the date of the indenture, all
of the Companys subsidiaries, other than certain dormant domestic and other subsidiaries and all
foreign subsidiaries in existence on the date of the indenture, were restricted subsidiaries. The
Companys failure to comply with certain of the covenants under the indenture governing the 6.625%
Notes could cause an event of default of any indebtedness and result in an acceleration of such
indebtedness. In addition, there is a cross-default provision which becomes enforceable upon
failure of payment of indebtedness at final maturity. The Companys unrestricted subsidiaries will
not be subject to any of the restrictive covenants in the indenture. The Company believes it was
in compliance with all of the covenants of the Indenture governing the 6.625% Senior Notes as of
April 3, 2011.
73/4% Senior Notes
On October 20, 2009, the Company completed a private offering of $250.0 million in aggregate
principal amount of its 73/4% Senior Notes due 2017 (73/4% Senior Notes). These senior unsecured
notes pay interest semi-annually in cash in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year,
beginning on April 15, 2010. The Company realized net proceeds of $246.4 million at the close of
the transaction, net of the discount on the notes of $3.6 million. The Company used the net
proceeds of the offering to fund the repurchase of all of its 81/4% Senior Notes due 2013 and pay
down part of the Revolving Credit Facility under our Prior Senior Credit Agreement.
The 73/4% Senior Notes are guaranteed by certain subsidiaries and are unsecured, senior obligations
of GEO and these obligations rank as follows: pari passu with any unsecured, senior indebtedness of
GEO and the guarantors, including the 6.625% Senior Notes; senior to any future indebtedness of GEO and the guarantors that is
expressly subordinated to the notes and the guarantees; effectively junior to any secured
indebtedness of GEO and the guarantors, including indebtedness under the Companys Senior Credit
Facility, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and effectively
junior to all obligations of the Companys subsidiaries that are not guarantors.
On or after October 15, 2013, the Company may, at its option, redeem all or a part of the 73/4%
Senior Notes upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days notice, at the redemption prices
(expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest
and liquidated damages, if any, on the 73/4% Senior Notes redeemed, to the applicable redemption
date, if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning on October 15 of the years indicated below:

Before October 15, 2013, the Company may redeem some or all of the 73/4% Senior Notes at a redemption
price equal to 100% of the principal amount of each note to be redeemed plus a make-whole premium
together with accrued and unpaid interest and liquidated damages, if any. In addition, at any time
on or prior to October 15, 2012, the Company may redeem up to 35% of the notes with the net cash
proceeds from specified equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 107.750% of the aggregate
principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest and liquidated
damages, if any, to the date of redemption.
The indenture governing the notes contains certain covenants, including limitations and
restrictions on the Company and its restricted subsidiaries ability to: incur additional
indebtedness or issue preferred stock; make dividend payments or other restricted payments; create
liens; sell assets; enter into transactions with affiliates; and enter into mergers,
consolidations, or sales of all or substantially all of our assets. As of the date of the
indenture, all of the Companys subsidiaries, other than certain dormant and other domestic
subsidiaries and all foreign subsidiaries in existence on the date of the indenture, were
restricted subsidiaries. The Companys unrestricted subsidiaries will not be subject to any of the
restrictive covenants in the indenture. The Companys failure to comply with certain of the
19
covenants under the indenture governing the 73/4% Senior Notes could cause an event of default of any
indebtedness and result in an acceleration of such indebtedness. In addition, there is a
cross-default provision which becomes enforceable upon failure of payment of indebtedness at final
maturity. The Company believes it was in compliance with all of the covenants of the Indenture
governing the 73/4% Senior Notes as of April 3, 2011.
Non-Recourse Debt
South Texas Detention Complex
The Company has a debt service requirement related to the development of the South Texas Detention
Complex, a 1,904-bed detention complex in Frio County, Texas acquired in November 2005 from
Correctional Services Corporation (CSC). CSC was awarded the contract in February 2004 by the
Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for development
and operation of the detention center. In order to finance the construction of the complex, STLDC
was created and issued $49.5 million in taxable revenue bonds. These bonds mature in February 2016
and have fixed coupon rates between 4.63% and 5.07%. Additionally, the Company is owed $5.0 million
in the form of subordinated notes by STLDC which represents the principal amount of financing
provided to STLDC by CSC for initial development.
The Company has an operating agreement with STLDC, the owner of the complex, which provides it with
the sole and exclusive right to operate and manage the detention center. The operating agreement
and bond indenture require the revenue from the contract with ICE to be used to fund the periodic
debt service requirements as they become due. The net revenues, if any, after various expenses such
as trustee fees, property taxes and insurance premiums are distributed to the Company to cover
operating expenses and management fees. The Company is responsible for the entire operations of the
facility including the payment of all operating expenses whether or not there are sufficient
revenues. STLDC has no liabilities resulting from its ownership. The bonds have a ten-year term and
are non-recourse to the Company and STLDC. The bonds are fully insured and the sole source of
payment for the bonds is the operating revenues of the center. At the end of the ten-year term of
the bonds, title and ownership of the facility transfers from STLDC to the Company. The Company has
determined that it is the primary beneficiary of STLDC and consolidates the entity as a result. The
carrying value of the facility as of April 3, 2011 and January 2, 2011 was $26.9 million and $27.0
million, respectively, and is included in property and equipment in the accompanying balance
sheets.
On February 1, 2011, STLDC made a payment from its restricted cash account of $4.8 million for the
current portion of its periodic debt service requirement in relation to the STLDC operating
agreement and bond indenture. As of April 3, 2011, the remaining balance of the debt service
requirement under the STLDC financing agreement is $27.3 million, of which $5.0 million is due
within the next twelve months. Also, as of April 3, 2011, included in current restricted cash and
non-current restricted cash is $6.3 million and $5.6 million, respectively, of funds held in trust

Northwest Detention Center
On June 30, 2003, CSC arranged financing for the construction of the Northwest Detention Center in
Tacoma, Washington, referred to as the Northwest Detention Center, which was completed and opened
for operation in April 2004. The Company began to operate this facility following its acquisition
in November 2005. In connection with the original financing, CSC of Tacoma LLC, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of CSC, issued a $57.0 million note payable to the Washington Economic Development
Finance Authority, referred to as WEDFA, an instrumentality of the State of Washington, which
issued revenue bonds and subsequently loaned the proceeds of the bond issuance back to CSC for the
purposes of constructing the Northwest Detention Center. The bonds are non-recourse to the Company
and the loan from WEDFA to CSC is also non-recourse to the Company. These bonds mature in February
2014 and have fixed coupon rates between 3.80% and 4.10%.
The proceeds of the loan were disbursed into escrow accounts held in trust to be used to pay the
issuance costs for the revenue bonds, to construct the Northwest Detention Center and to establish
debt service and other reserves. No payments were made during the thirteen weeks ended April 3, 2011. As of April 3, 2011, the remaining balance of the debt service
requirement is $25.7 million, of which $6.1 million is classified as current in the accompanying
balance sheet.
As of April 3, 2011, included in current restricted cash and non-current restricted cash is $7.0
million and $3.8 million, respectively, of funds held in trust with respect to the Northwest
Detention Center for debt service and other reserves.
20
MCF
MCF, one of the Companys consolidated variable interest entities, is obligated for the outstanding
balance of the 8.47% Revenue Bonds. The bonds bear interest at a rate of 8.47% per annum and are
payable in semi-annual installments of interest and annual installments of principal. All unpaid
principal and accrued interest on the bonds is due on the earlier of August 1, 2016 (maturity) or
as noted under the bond documents. The bonds are limited, nonrecourse obligations of MCF and are
collateralized by the property and equipment, bond reserves, assignment of subleases and
substantially all assets related to the facilities owned by MCF. The bonds are not guaranteed by
the Company or its subsidiaries. As of both April 3, 2011 and January 2, 2011, the aggregate
principal amount of these bonds was $108.3 million and is included in Non-recourse debt on the
accompanying consolidated balance sheet, net of the current portion of $14.6 million.
The 8.47% Revenue Bond indenture provides for the establishment and maintenance by MCF for the
benefit of the trustee under the indenture of a debt service reserve fund. As of April 3, 2011, the
debt service reserve fund has a balance of $23.8 million. The debt service reserve fund is
available to the trustee to pay debt service on the 8.47% Revenue Bonds when needed, and to pay
final debt service on the 8.47% Revenue Bonds. If MCF is in default in its obligation under the
8.47% Revenue Bonds indenture, the trustee may declare the principal outstanding and accrued
interest immediately due and payable. MCF has the right to cure a default of non-payment
obligations. The 8.47% Revenue Bonds are subject to extraordinary mandatory redemption in certain
instances upon casualty or condemnation. The 8.47% Revenue Bonds may be redeemed at the option of
MCF prior to their final scheduled payment dates at par plus accrued interest plus a make-whole
premium.
Australia
The Companys wholly-owned Australian subsidiary financed the development of a facility and
subsequent expansion in 2003 with long-term debt obligations. These obligations are non-recourse to
the Company and total $45.6 million and $46.3 million at April 3, 2011 and January 2, 2011,
respectively. The term of the non-recourse debt is through 2017 and it bears interest at a
variable rate quoted by certain Australian banks plus 140 basis points. Any obligations or
liabilities of the subsidiary are matched by a similar or corresponding commitment from the
government of the State of Victoria. As a condition of the loan, the Company is required to
maintain a restricted cash balance of AUD 5.0 million, which, at April 3, 2011, was $5.2 million.
This amount is included in restricted cash and the annual maturities of the future debt obligation
are included in non-recourse debt.
Guarantees
In connection with the creation of SACS, the Company entered into certain guarantees related to the
financing, construction and operation of the prison. The Company guaranteed certain obligations of
SACS under its debt agreements up to a maximum amount of 60.0 million South African Rand, or $9.0
million, to SACS senior lenders through the issuance of letters of credit. Additionally, SACS is
required to fund a restricted account for the payment of certain costs in the event of contract
termination. The Company has guaranteed the payment of 60% of amounts which may be payable by SACS
into the restricted account and provided a standby letter of credit of 8.4 million South African
Rand, or $1.3 million, as security for its guarantee. The Companys obligations under this
guarantee expire upon SACS release from its obligations in respect to the restricted account under
its debt agreements. No amounts have been drawn against these letters of credit, which are included
as part of the value of Companys outstanding letters of credit under its Revolver.
The Company has agreed to provide a loan, of up to 20.0 million South African Rand, or $3.0
million, referred to as the Standby Facility, to SACS for the purpose of financing SACS
obligations under its contract with the South African government. No amounts have been funded under
the Standby Facility, and the Company does not currently anticipate that such funding will be
required by SACS in the future. The Companys obligations under the Standby Facility expire upon
the earlier of full funding or SACSs release from its obligations under its debt agreements. The
lenders ability to draw on the Standby Facility is limited to certain circumstances, including
termination of the contract.
The Company has also guaranteed certain obligations of SACS to the security trustee for SACS
lenders. The Company secured its guarantee to the security trustee by ceding its rights to claims
against SACS in respect of any loans or other finance agreements, and by pledging the Companys
shares in SACS. The Companys liability under the guarantee is limited to the cession and pledge of
shares. The guarantee expires upon expiration of the cession and pledge agreements.
21
In connection with a design, build, finance and maintenance contract for a facility in Canada, the
Company guaranteed certain potential tax obligations of a not-for-profit entity. The potential
estimated exposure of these obligations is Canadian Dollar (CAD) 2.5 million, or $2.6 million,
commencing in 2017. The Company has a liability of $1.8 million and $1.8 million related to this
exposure as April 3, 2011 and January 2, 2011, respectively. To secure this guarantee, the Company
purchased Canadian dollar denominated securities with maturities matched to the estimated tax
obligations in 2017 to 2021. The Company has recorded an asset and a liability equal to the current
fair market value of those securities on its consolidated balance sheet. The Company does not
currently operate or manage this facility.
At April 3, 2011, the Company also had eight letters of guarantee outstanding under separate
international facilities relating to performance guarantees of its Australian subsidiary totaling
$10.0 million. Except as discussed above, the Company does not have any off balance sheet
arrangements.
12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation, Claims and Assessments
In June 2004, the Company received notice of a third-party claim for property damage incurred
during 2001 and 2002 at several detention facilities formerly operated by its Australian
subsidiary. The claim relates to property damage caused by detainees at the detention facilities.
The notice was given by the Australian governments insurance provider and did not specify the
amount of damages being sought. In August 2007, a lawsuit (Commonwealth of Australia v.
Australasian Correctional Services PTY, Limited No. SC 656) was filed against the Company in the
Supreme Court of the Australian Capital Territory seeking damages of up to approximately AUD 18
million, as of April 3, 2011, or $18.7 million, plus interest. The Company believes that it has
several defenses to the allegations underlying the litigation and the amounts sought and intends to
vigorously defend its rights with respect to this matter. The Company has established a reserve
based on its estimate of the most probable loss based on the facts and circumstances known to date
and the advice of legal counsel in connection with this matter. Although the outcome of this matter
cannot be predicted with certainty, based on information known to date and the Companys
preliminary review of the claim and related reserve for loss, the Company believes that, if settled
unfavorably, this matter could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results
of operations or cash flows. The Company is uninsured for any damages or costs that it may incur as
a result of this claim, including the expenses of defending the claim.
During the fourth fiscal quarter of 2009, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) completed its
examination of the Companys U.S. federal income tax returns for the years 2002 through 2005.
Following the examination, the IRS notified the Companys management that it proposed to disallow a
deduction that the Company realized during the 2005 tax year. In December of 2010, the Company
reached an agreement with the office of the IRS Appeals on the amount of the deduction, subject to
the review by the Joint Committee on Taxation. The review was completed without change on April 18,
2011, subsequent to the end of the First Quarter. As a result of the review, there was no change to
our tax accrual related to this matter.
The Companys South Africa joint venture had been in discussions with the South African Revenue
Service (SARS) with respect to the deductibility of certain expenses for the tax periods 2002
through 2004. The joint venture operates the Kutama Sinthumule Correctional Centre and accepted
inmates from the South African Department of Correctional Services in 2002. During 2009, SARS
notified the Company that it proposed to disallow these deductions. The Company appealed these
proposed disallowed deductions with SARS and in October 2010 received a favorable Tax Court ruling
relative to these deductions. On March 9, 2011, SARS filed a notice that it would appeal the lower
courts ruling. The Company continues to believe in the merits of its position and will defend its
rights vigorously as the case proceeds to the Court of Appeals. If resolved unfavorably, the
Companys maximum exposure would be $2.6 million.
The Company is a participant in the IRS Compliance Assurance
Process (CAP) for the 2011 fiscal
year. Under the IRS CAP principally transactions that meet certain materiality thresholds are
reviewed on a real-time basis shortly after their completion. Additionally, all transactions that
are part of certain IRS tier and similar initiatives are audited regardless of their materiality. The
program also provides for the audit of transition years that have not previously been audited. The
IRS will be reviewing the Companys 2009 and 2010 years as transition years.
During the First Quarter following its acquisition, BI received notice from the IRS that it will
audit its 2008 tax year. The audit is currently in progress.
22
The nature of the Companys business exposes it to various types of claims or litigation
against the Company, including, but not limited to, civil rights claims relating to conditions of
confinement and/or mistreatment, sexual misconduct claims brought by prisoners or detainees,
medical malpractice claims, claims relating to employment matters (including, but not limited to,
employment discrimination claims, union grievances and wage and hour claims), property loss claims,
environmental claims, automobile liability claims, indemnification claims by its customers and
other third parties, contractual claims and claims for personal injury or other damages resulting
from contact with the Companys facilities, programs, personnel or prisoners, including damages
arising from a prisoners escape or from a disturbance or riot at a facility. Except as otherwise
disclosed above, the Company does not expect the outcome of any pending claims or legal proceedings
to have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Construction Commitments
The Company is currently developing a number of projects using company financing. The Companys
management estimates that these existing capital projects will cost approximately $281.0 million,
of which $87.6 million was spent through the first quarter of 2011. The Company estimates the
remaining capital requirements related to these capital projects to be approximately $193.4
million, which will be spent through fiscal years 2011 and 2012. Capital expenditures related to
facility maintenance costs are expected to range between $20.0 million and $25.0 million for fiscal
year 2011. In addition to these current estimated capital requirements for 2011 and 2012, the
Company is currently in the process of bidding on, or evaluating potential bids for the design,
construction and management of a number of new projects. In the event that the Company wins bids
for these projects and decides to self-finance their construction, its capital requirements in 2011
could materially increase.
Contract Terminations
Effective February 28, 2011, the Companys contract for the management of the 424-bed North Texas
ISF, located in Fort Worth, Texas, terminated.
Effective April 30, 2011, the Companys contract for the management of the 970-bed Regional
Correctional Center, located in Albuquerque, New Mexico, terminated.
Effective May 29, 2011, the Companys subsidiary in the United Kingdom will no longer manage the
215-bed Campsfield House Immigration Removal Centre in Kidlington, England.
13. BUSINESS SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION
Operating and Reporting Segments
The Company conducts its business through four reportable business segments: the U.S. Detention &
Corrections segment; the International Services segment; the GEO Care segment; and the Facility
Construction & Design segment. The Company has identified these four reportable segments to reflect
the current view that the Company operates four distinct business lines, each of which constitutes
a material part of its overall business. The U.S. Detention & Corrections segment primarily
encompasses U.S.-based privatized corrections and detention business. The International Services
segment primarily consists of privatized corrections and detention operations in South Africa,
Australia and the United Kingdom. The GEO Care segment, which is operated by the Companys
wholly-owned subsidiary GEO Care, Inc. and conducts its services in the U.S., represents services
provided for mental health, residential and non-residential treatment, educational and community
based programs, pre-release and halfway house programs, compliance technologies, monitoring
services, and evidence-based supervision and treatment programs for community-based parolees,
probationers and pretrial defendants. The Facility Construction & Design segment consists of
contracts with various state, local and federal agencies for the design and construction of
facilities for which the Company has management contracts. As a result of the acquisition of
Cornell, managements review of certain segment financial data was revised with regards to the
Bronx Community Re-entry Center and the Brooklyn Community Re-entry Center. These facilities now
report within the GEO Care segment and are no longer included with U.S. Detention & Corrections.
Disclosures for business segments reflect reclassifications for all periods presented and are as

During the thirteen weeks ended April 3, 2011, the Companys consolidated South African subsidiary,
South African Custodial Holdings Pty. Ltd. (SACH) received a dividend of $5.4 million from SACS
which reduced the Companys investment in its joint venture. As of April 3, 2011 and January 2,
2011, the Companys investment in SACS was $8.5 million and $13.8 million, respectively. The
investment is included in other non-current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
14. BENEFIT PLANS
The Company has two non-contributory defined benefit pension plans covering certain of the
Companys executives. Retirement benefits are based on years of service, employees average
compensation for the last five years prior to retirement and social security benefits. Currently,
the plans are not funded. The Company purchased and is the beneficiary of life insurance policies
for certain participants enrolled in the plans. There were no significant transactions between the
employer or related parties and the plan during the period.
As of April 3, 2011, the Company had a non-qualified deferred compensation agreement with its Chief
Executive Officer (CEO). The current agreement provides for a lump sum payment upon retirement,
no sooner than age 55.
As of April 3, 2011, the CEO had reached
25
age 55 and was eligible to receive the payment upon
retirement. During the fiscal year ended January 2, 2011, the Company paid a former executive $4.4
million in discounted retirement benefits, including a gross up of $1.6 million for certain taxes,
under the executives non-qualified deferred compensation agreement. The Companys liability
relative to its pension plans and retirement agreements was $14.1 million and $13.8 million as of
April 3, 2011 and January 2, 2011, respectively. The long-term portion of the pension liability as
of April 3, 2011 and January 2, 2011 was $13.9 million and $13.6 million, respectively, and is
included in Other Non-Current liabilities in the accompanying balance sheets.
The following table summarizes key information related to the Companys pension plans and
retirement agreements. The table illustrates the reconciliation of the beginning and ending
balances of the benefit obligation showing the effects during the periods presented attributable to
each of the following: service cost, interest cost, plan amendments, termination benefits,
actuarial gains and losses. The assumptions used in the Companys calculation of accrued pension
costs are based on market information and the Companys historical rates for employment
compensation and discount rates, respectively.

15. RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
The Company implemented the following accounting standards in the thirteen weeks ended April 3,
2011:
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-13 which provides amendments to revenue recognition
criteria for separating consideration in multiple element arrangements. As a result of these
amendments, multiple deliverable arrangements will be separated more frequently than under existing
GAAP. The amendments, among other things,
establish the selling price of a deliverable, replace
26
the term fair value with selling price and
eliminate the residual method such that consideration can be allocated to the deliverables using
the relative selling price method based on GEOs specific assumptions. This amendment also
significantly expands the disclosure requirements for multiple element arrangements. This guidance
became effective for the Company prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially
modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The implementation of this standard
in the thirteen weeks ended April 3, 2011 did not have a material impact on the Companys financial
position, results of operations and cash flows. As a result of the BI acquisition, the Company also
periodically sells its monitoring equipment and other services together in multiple-element
arrangements. In such cases, the Company allocates revenue on the basis of the relative selling
price of the delivered and undelivered elements. The selling price for each of the elements is
estimated based on the price charged by the Company when the elements are sold on a standalone
basis.
In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-28 related to goodwill and intangible assets. Under
current guidance, testing for goodwill impairment is a two-step test. When a goodwill impairment
test is performed, an entity must assess whether the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds
its fair value (Step 1). If it does, an entity must perform an additional test to determine whether
goodwill has been impaired and to calculate the amount of that impairment (Step 2). The objective
of ASU No 2010-28 is to address circumstances in which entities have reporting units with zero or
negative carrying amounts. The amendments in this guidance modify Step 1 of the goodwill impairment
test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts to require an entity to perform
Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment
exists after considering certain qualitative characteristics, as described in this guidance. This
guidance became effective for the Company in fiscal years, and interim periods within those years,
beginning after December 15, 2010. The Company currently does not have any reporting units with a
zero or negative carrying value. The implementation of this accounting standard did not have a
material impact on the Companys financial position, results of operations and/or cash flows.
Also, in December 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-29 related to financial statement disclosures
for business combinations entered into after the beginning of the first annual reporting period
beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The amendments in this guidance specify that if a public
entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings
of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year
had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. These
amendments also expand the supplemental pro forma disclosures under current guidance for business
combinations to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma
adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma
revenue and earnings. The amendments in this update are effective prospectively for business
combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual
reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The Company acquired BI during the
thirteen weeks ended April 3, 2011 and has implemented this standard, as applicable, to the related
business combination disclosures.
16. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
During the fourth fiscal quarter of 2009, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) completed its
examination of the Companys U.S. federal income tax returns for the years 2002 through 2005.
Following the examination, the IRS notified the Companys management that it proposed to disallow a
deduction that the Company realized during the 2005 tax year. In December of 2010, the Company
reached an agreement with the office of the IRS Appeals on the amount of the deduction, subject to
the review by the Joint Committee on Taxation. The review was completed without change on April 18,
2011, subsequent to the end of the First Quarter. As a result of the review, there was no change to
our tax accrual related to this matter.
On May 2, 2011, the Company executed Amendment No. 2 to its Senior Credit Facility. As a result of
this amendment, relative to the Companys Term Loan B, the Applicable Rate was reduced to 2.75% per annum
from 3.25% per annum in the case of
Eurodollar loans and to 1.75% per annum from 2.25% per annum in the case of ABR loans and the LIBOR floor was reduced to 1.00% from 1.50%.
17. CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL INFORMATION
As discussed in Note 11, the Company completed a private offering of $300.0 million aggregate
principal amount of 6.625% senior unsecured notes due 2021 (such 6.625% Senior Notes
collectively with the 73/4% Senior Notes issued October 20, 2009, the
27
Notes). The Notes are fully
and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several senior unsecured basis by the Company and
certain of its wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries (the Subsidiary Guarantors). The Companys
newly acquired BI subsidiary has been classified in the Condensed Consolidating Financial
Information as a guarantor to the Companys Notes. On February 10, 2011, the 6.625% Senior Notes
were sold to qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), and outside the United States only to non-U.S. persons
in accordance with Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act. In connection with the sale
of the 6.625% Senior Notes, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the
initial purchasers of the 6.625% Senior Notes party thereto, pursuant to which the Company and its
Subsidiary Guarantors (as defined below) agreed to file a registration statement with respect to an
offer to exchange the 6.625% Senior Notes for a new issue of substantially identical notes
registered under the Securities Act. As of the date these financial statements were issued, the
Company had filed a registration statement with respect to this offer to exchange the 6.625% Senior
Notes, however the registration statement was not yet effective.
The following condensed consolidating financial information, which has been prepared in accordance
with the requirements for presentation of Rule 3-10(d) of Regulation S-X promulgated under the
Securities Act, presents the condensed consolidating financial information separately for:
|
(i) |
|
The GEO Group, Inc., as the issuer of the Notes; |
|
|
(ii) |
|
The Subsidiary Guarantors, on a combined basis, which are 100% owned by The GEO
Group, Inc., and which are guarantors of the Notes; |
|
|
(iii) |
|
The Companys other subsidiaries, on a combined basis, which are not guarantors
of the Notes (the Subsidiary Non-Guarantors); |
|
|
(iv) |
|
Consolidating entries and eliminations representing adjustments to (a) eliminate
intercompany transactions between or among the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and
the Subsidiary Non-Guarantors and (b) eliminate the investments in the Companys
subsidiaries; and |
|
|
(v) |
|
The Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. |

|
other factors contained in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the
SEC, including, but not limited to, those detailed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our
Annual Report on Form 10-K and our Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC. |
We undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result
of new information, future events or otherwise. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking
statements attributable to us, or persons acting on our behalf, are expressly qualified in their
entirety by the cautionary statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Introduction
The following discussion and analysis provides information which management believes is relevant to
an assessment and understanding of our consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our
actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as
a result of numerous factors including, but not limited to, those described above under Forward
Looking Information and under Part I Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2011.
The discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. For the
purposes of this discussion and analysis, we refer to the thirteen weeks ended April 3, 2011 as
First Quarter 2011, and we refer to the thirteen weeks ended April 4, 2010 as First Quarter
2010.
We are a leading provider of government-outsourced services specializing in the management of
correctional, detention, mental health, residential treatment and re-entry facilities, and the
provision of community based services and youth services in the United States, Australia, South
Africa, the United Kingdom and Canada. We operate a broad range of correctional and detention
facilities including maximum, medium and minimum security prisons, immigration detention centers,
minimum security detention centers, mental health, residential treatment and community based
re-entry facilities. We offer counseling, education and/or treatment to inmates with alcohol and
drug abuse problems at most of the domestic facilities we manage. Through our acquisition of BI
Holding, we are also a provider of innovative compliance technologies, industry-leading monitoring
services, and evidence-based supervision and treatment programs for community-based parolees,
probationers and pretrial defendants. Additionally, BI Holding has an exclusive contract with U.S.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which we refer to as ICE, to provide supervision and reporting
services designed to improve the participation of non-detained aliens in the immigration court
system. We develop new facilities based on contract awards, using our project development expertise
and experience to design, construct and finance what we believe are state-of-the-art facilities
36
that maximize security and efficiency. We also provide secure transportation services for offender
and detainee populations as contracted.
Our acquisition of Cornell Companies, Inc., which we refer to this transaction as the Cornell
Acquisition, in August 2010 added scale to our presence in the U.S. correctional and detention
market, and combined Cornells adult community based and youth treatment services into GEO Cares
behavioral healthcare services platform to create a leadership position in this growing market. On
December 21, 2010, we entered into a merger agreement to acquire BII Holding Corporation, which we
refer to this transaction as the BI Acquisition. On February 10, 2011, we completed our acquisition
of BII Holding, the indirect owner of 100% of the equity interests of B.I. Incorporated, which we refer to as BI. We believe
the addition of BI will provide us with the ability to offer turn-key solutions to our customers in
managing the full lifecycle of an offender from arraignment to reintegration into the community,
which we refer to as the corrections lifecycle. As of April 3, 2011, our worldwide operations
included the management and/or ownership of approximately 80,000 beds at 116 correctional,
detention and residential treatment facilities, including idle facilities and projects under
development and also included the provision of monitoring services, tracking more than 60,000
offenders on behalf of approximately 900 federal, state and local correctional agencies located in
all 50 states.
We provide a diversified scope of services on behalf of our government clients:
|
|
|
our correctional and detention management services involve the provision of security,
administrative, rehabilitation, education, health and food services, primarily at adult male
correctional and detention facilities; |
|
|
|
|
our mental health and residential treatment services involve working with governments to
deliver quality care, innovative programming and active patient treatment, primarily in
state-owned mental healthcare facilities; |
|
|
|
|
our community-based services involve supervision of adult parolees and probationers and the
provision of temporary housing, programming, employment assistance and other services with
the intention of the successful reintegration of residents into the community; |
|
|
|
|
our youth services include residential, detention and shelter care and community-based
services along with rehabilitative, educational and treatment programs; |
|
|
|
|
our monitoring services provide our governmental clients with innovative compliance
technologies, industry-leading monitoring services, and evidence-based supervision and
treatment programs for community-based parolees, probationers and pretrial defendants;
including services to ICE for the provision of services designed to improve the participation
of non-detained aliens in the immigration court system; |
|
|
|
|
we develop new facilities, using our project development experience to design, construct
and finance what we believe are state-of-the-art facilities that maximize security and
efficiency; and |
|
|
|
|
we provide secure transportation services for offender and detainee populations as
contracted. |
We maintained an average company-wide facility occupancy rate of 93.4% for the thirteen weeks
ended April 3, 2011. As a result of the acquisitions of Cornell and BI, we will benefit from the
combined Companys increased scale and the diversification of service offerings.
Reference is made to Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March
2, 2011, for further discussion and analysis of information pertaining to our financial condition
and results of operations for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2011.
Fiscal 2011 Developments
Acquisition of BII Holding
On February 10, 2011, we completed our previously announced acquisition of BI, a Colorado
corporation, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 21, 2010 (the
Merger Agreement), with BII Holding, a Delaware corporation, which owns BI, GEO Acquisition IV,
Inc., a Delaware corporation and our wholly-owned subsidiary (Merger Sub), BII Investors IF LP,
in its
37
capacity as the stockholders representative, and AEA Investors 2006 Fund L.P. Under the terms of
the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into BII Holding (the Merger), with BII Holding
emerging as the surviving corporation of the merger. As a result of the Merger, we paid merger
consideration of $409.6 million in cash excluding cash acquired, transaction related expenses and
subject to certain adjustments. Under the Merger Agreement, $12.5 million of the merger
consideration was placed in an escrow account for a one-year period to satisfy any applicable
indemnification claims pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement by us, the Merger Sub or its
affiliates. At the time of the BI Acquisition, approximately $78.4 million, including accrued
interest was outstanding under BIs senior term loan and $107.5 million, including accrued interest
was outstanding under its senior subordinated note purchase agreement, excluding the unamortized
debt discount. All indebtedness of BI under its senior term loan and senior subordinated note
purchase agreement was repaid by BI with a portion of the $409.6 million merger consideration. We
are in the process of integrating BI into our wholly-owned subsidiary, GEO Care.
Senior Notes due 2021
On February 10, 2011, we completed the issuance
of $300.0 million in aggregate principal amount of
6.625% senior unsecured notes due 2021, which we refer to as the 6.625% Senior Notes, in
a private offering under an Indenture dated as of February 10, 2011 among us, certain of our
domestic subsidiaries, as guarantors, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee. The
6.625% Senior Notes were offered and sold to qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule
144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and outside the United States in accordance with
Regulation S under the Securities Act. The 6.625% Senior Notes were issued at a coupon rate and
yield to maturity of 6.625%. Interest on the 6.625% Senior Notes will accrue at the rate of 6.625%
per annum and will be payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15, commencing on
August 15, 2011. The 6.625% Senior Notes mature on February 15, 2021. We used the net proceeds from
this offering along with $150.0 million of borrowings under our senior credit facility to finance
the acquisition of BI and to pay related fees, costs, and expenses. We used the remaining net
proceeds for general corporate purposes.
Amendments to Senior Credit Facility
On February 8, 2011, we entered into Amendment No. 1, which we refer to as Amendment No. 1, to our
Credit Agreement, which we refer to as the Senior Credit Facility, dated as of August 4, 2010, by
and among us, the Guarantors party thereto, the lenders party thereto and BNP Paribas, as
administrative agent. Amendment No. 1, among other things amended certain definitions and covenants
relating to the total leverage ratios and the senior secured leverage ratios set forth in the
Credit Agreement. This amendment increased our borrowing capacity by $250.0 million and is
comprised of $150.0 million in borrowings under a new Term Loan A-2 due August 2015, bearing
interest at LIBOR plus 2.75%, and an incremental $100.0 million in borrowing capacity under the
existing Revolver. Following the amendment, the Senior Credit Facility is comprised of: a $150.0
million Term Loan A due August 2015; a $150.0 million Term Loan A-2 due August 2015; a $200.0
million Term Loan B due August 2016; and a $500.0 million Revolving Credit Facility due August
2015. Incremental borrowings of $150.0 million under our amended Senior Credit Facility along with
proceeds from our $300.0 million offering of the 6.625% Senior Notes were used to finance the
acquisition of BI. As of April 3, 2011, the Company had $493.5 million in aggregate borrowings
outstanding, net of discount, under the Term Loans, $210.0 million in borrowings under the
Revolving Credit Facility due August 2015, which we refer to as the Revolver, approximately $70.4
million in letters of credit and $219.6 million in additional borrowing capacity under the
Revolver.
On May 2, 2011, we executed Amendment No. 2 to our Senior Credit Facility. As a result of this
amendment, relative to our Term Loan B, the Applicable Rate was reduced to 2.75% per annum from 3.25% per annum in the case of
Eurodollar loans and to 1.75% per annum from 2.25% per annum in the case of ABR loans and the
LIBOR floor was reduced to 1.00% from 1.50%.

We currently do not have a customer for this facility but are marketing these beds to various local, state and federal agencies. |

|
On November 4, 2010, we announced our signing of a contract with the State of California, Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation for the out-of-state
housing of California inmates at the North Lake Correctional Facility. As a result of this new contract, we will complete a cell conversion on the existing
1,748-bed facility in Q3 2011 and expect to complete the expansion of this facility by 832 beds as required to meet the scheduled ramp-up of CDCR inmates. |
|
(3) |
|
We will provide services at this facility through an Inter-Governmental Agreement, or IGA, with Karnes County. |
Contract Terminations
The following contract terminations impact fiscal year 2011. We do not expect that the termination
of these contracts will have a material adverse impact, individually or in the aggregate, on our
financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Effective February 28, 2011, our contract for the management of the 424-bed North Texas ISF,
located in Fort Worth, Texas, terminated.
Effective April 30, 2011, our contract for the management of the 970-bed Regional Correctional
Center, located in Albuquerque, New Mexico, terminated.
Effective May 29, 2011, our subsidiary in the United Kingdom will no longer manage the 215-bed
Campsfield House Immigration Removal Centre in Kidlington, England.
Contract Awards and Facility Activations
On March 1, 2011, we opened the 100-bed Montgomery County Mental Health Treatment Facility located
in Conroe, Texas. GEO Care will manage this county-owned facility under a management contract with
Montgomery County, Texas with an initial term effective through August 31, 2011 and unlimited
two-year renewal option periods. Montgomery County in turn has an Intergovernmental Agreement with
the State of Texas for the housing of a mental health forensic population at this facility.
On March 15, 2011, we announced that our wholly-owned U.K. subsidiary, GEO UK Ltd., was selected as
the preferred bidder by the United Kingdom Border Agency for the management and operation of the
217-bed Dungavel House Immigration Removal Centre located near Glasgow, Scotland. The contract for
the management and operation of this existing centre will have a term of five years effective
September 25, 2011.
On March 16, 2011, we announced that our newly formed joint venture, GEO Amey PECS Ltd.
(GEOAmey), has been awarded three contracts by the Ministry of Justice in the United Kingdom for
the provision of prison escort and custody services in Lots 1, 3, and 4 which encompass all of
Wales and all of England except London and the East of England. The contract for the provision of
prison escort and custody services in the three Lots will have a base term of seven years with a
renewal option period of no more than three years. We expect that GEOAmey will commence operations
in August 2011.
Critical Accounting Policies
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. As such, we are required to make
certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that we believe are reasonable based upon the
information available. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and
expenses during the reporting period. We routinely evaluate our estimates based on historical
experience and on various other assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the
circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or
conditions. A summary of our significant accounting policies is contained in Note 1 to our
financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January
2, 2011. Effective January 3, 2011, our policy relative to revenue recognition, as further
discussed below, incorporates
39
amendments in accounting guidance relating to revenue recognition issued by the Financial
Accounting Standards Board, which we refer to as FASB. The amendments did not have a significant
impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. We are still in the process
of reviewing the accounting policies of BI to ensure conformity of such accounting policies to
ours. At this time, we are not aware of any differences in accounting policies that would have a
material impact on the consolidated financial statements as of April 3, 2011.
Reserves for Insurance Losses
The nature of our business exposes us to various types of third-party legal claims, including, but
not limited to, civil rights claims relating to conditions of confinement and/or mistreatment,
sexual misconduct claims brought by prisoners or detainees, medical malpractice claims, product
liability claims, intellectual property infringement claims, claims relating to employment matters
(including, but not limited to, employment discrimination claims, union grievances and wage and
hour claims), property loss claims, environmental claims, automobile liability claims, contractual
claims and claims for personal injury or other damages resulting from contact with our facilities,
programs, electronic monitoring products, personnel or prisoners, including damages arising from a
prisoners escape or from a disturbance or riot at a facility. In addition, our management
contracts generally require us to indemnify the governmental agency against any damages to which
the governmental agency may be subject in connection with such claims or litigation. We maintain a
broad program of insurance coverage for these general types of claims, except for claims relating
to employment matters, for which we carry no insurance. There can be no assurance that our
insurance coverage will be adequate to cover all claims to which we may be exposed. It is our
general practice to bring merged or acquired companies into our corporate master policies in order
to take advantage of certain economies of scale.
We currently maintain a general liability policy and excess liability policy for U.S. Detention &
Corrections, GEO Cares community based services, GEO Cares youth services and BI with limits of
$62.0 million per occurrence and in the aggregate. A separate $35.0 million limit applies to
medical professional liability claims arising out of correctional healthcare services. Our
wholly-owned subsidiary, GEO Care Inc., has a separate insurance program for their residential
services division with a specific loss limit of $35.0 million per occurrence and in the aggregate.
We are uninsured for any claims in excess of these limits. We also maintain insurance to cover
property and other casualty risks including, workers compensation, environmental liability and
automobile liability.
For most casualty insurance policies, we carry substantial deductibles or self-insured retentions
$3.0 million per occurrence for general liability and hospital professional liability, $2.0
million per occurrence for workers compensation and $1.0 million per occurrence for automobile
liability. In addition, certain of our facilities located in Florida and other high-risk hurricane
areas carry substantial windstorm deductibles. Since hurricanes are considered unpredictable future
events, no reserves have been established to pre-fund for potential windstorm damage. Limited
commercial availability of certain types of insurance relating to windstorm exposure in coastal
areas and earthquake exposure mainly in California may prevent us from insuring some of our
facilities to full replacement value.
With respect to our operations in South Africa, the United Kingdom and Australia, we utilize a
combination of locally-procured insurance and global policies to meet contractual insurance
requirements and protect the Company. Our Australian subsidiary is required to carry tail insurance
on a general liability policy providing an extended reporting period through 2011 related to a
discontinued contract.
Of the reserves discussed above, our most significant insurance reserves relate to workers
compensation and general liability claims. These reserves are undiscounted and were $40.6 million
and $40.2 million as of April 3, 2011 and January 2, 2011, respectively. We use statistical and
actuarial methods to estimate amounts for claims that have been reported but not paid and claims
incurred but not reported. In applying these methods and assessing their results, we consider such
factors as historical frequency and severity of claims at each of our facilities, claim
development, payment patterns and changes in the nature of our business, among other factors. Such
factors are analyzed for each of our business segments. Our estimates may be impacted by such
factors as increases in the market price for medical services and unpredictability of the size of
jury awards. We also may experience variability between our estimates and the actual settlement due
to limitations inherent in the estimation process, including our ability to estimate costs of
processing and settling claims in a timely manner as well as our ability to accurately estimate our
exposure at the onset of a claim. Because we have high deductible insurance policies, the amount of
our insurance expense is dependent on our ability to control our claims experience. If actual
losses related to insurance claims significantly differ from our estimates, our financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially adversely impacted.

Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of differences
between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities given the provisions of
enacted tax laws. Significant judgments are required to determine the consolidated provision for
income taxes. Deferred income tax provisions and benefits are based on changes to the assets or
liabilities from year to year. Realization of our deferred tax assets is dependent upon many
factors such as tax regulations applicable to the jurisdictions in which we operate, estimates of
future taxable income and the character of such taxable income. Additionally, we must use
significant judgment in addressing uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws and
regulations. If actual circumstances differ from our assumptions, adjustments to the carrying value
of deferred tax assets or liabilities may be required, which may result in an adverse impact on the
results of our operations and our effective tax rate. Valuation allowances are recorded related to
deferred tax assets based on the more likely than not criteria. Management has not made any
significant changes to the way we account for our deferred tax assets and liabilities in any year
presented in the consolidated financial statements. Based on our estimate of future earnings and
our favorable earnings history, management currently expects full realization of the deferred tax
assets net of any recorded valuation allowances. Furthermore, tax positions taken by us may not be
fully sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities. In determining the adequacy of our
provision (benefit) for income taxes, potential settlement outcomes resulting from income tax
examinations are regularly assessed. As such, the final outcome of tax examinations, including the
total amount payable or the timing of any such payments upon resolution of these issues, cannot be
estimated with certainty. To the extent that the provision for income taxes increases/decreases by
1% of income before income taxes, equity in earnings of affiliates, discontinued operations, and
consolidated income from continuing operations would have decreased/increased by $0.3 million for
the thirteen weeks ended April 3, 2011.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed
using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Buildings and
improvements are depreciated over 2 to 50 years. Equipment and furniture and fixtures are
depreciated over 3 to 10 years. Accelerated methods of depreciation are generally used for income
tax purposes. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the
useful life of the improvement or the term of the lease. We perform ongoing assessments of the
estimated useful lives of the property and equipment for depreciation purposes. The estimated
useful lives are determined and continually evaluated based on the period over which services are
expected to be rendered by the asset. If the assessment indicates that assets will be used for a
longer or shorter period than previously anticipated, the useful lives of the assets are revised,
resulting in a change in estimate. Effective January 4, 2010, we completed a depreciation study on
our owned correctional facilities and revised the estimated useful lives of certain of our
buildings. We have not made any changes in estimate during the thirteen-weeks ended April 3, 2011.
Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Interest is capitalized in connection with
facility construction. Capitalized interest is recorded as part of the asset to which it relates
and is amortized over the assets estimated useful life.
We review long-lived assets to be held and used for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be fully recoverable. If a
long-lived asset is part of a group that includes other assets, the unit of accounting for the
long-lived asset is its group. Generally, we group our assets by facility for the purposes of
considering whether any impairment exists. Determination of recoverability is based on an estimate
of undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset or asset group and its
eventual disposition. When considering the future cash flows of a facility, we make assumptions
based on historical experience with our customers, terminal growth rates and weighted average cost
of capital. While these estimates do not generally have a material impact on the impairment charges
associated with managed-only facilities, the sensitivity increases significantly when considering
the impairment on facilities that are either owned or leased by us. Events that would trigger an
impairment assessment include deterioration of profits for a business segment that has long-lived
assets, or when other changes occur that might impair recovery of long-lived assets such as the
termination of a management contract. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower
of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Measurement of an impairment loss for
long-lived assets that management expects to hold and use is based on the fair value of the asset.
Revenue Recognition
Facility management revenues are recognized as services are provided under facility management
contracts with approved government appropriations based on a net rate per day per inmate or on a
fixed monthly rate. A limited number of our contracts have provisions upon which a small portion of
the revenue for the contract is based on the performance of certain targets. Revenue based on the
performance of certain targets is less than 2% of our consolidated annual revenues. These
performance targets are based on specific criteria to be met
41
over specific periods of time. Such criteria includes our ability to achieve certain contractual
benchmarks relative to the quality of service we provide, non-occurrence of certain disruptive
events, effectiveness of our quality control programs and our responsiveness to customer
requirements and concerns. For the limited number of contracts where revenue is based on the
performance of certain targets, revenue is either (i) recorded pro rata when revenue is fixed and
determinable or (ii) recorded when the specified time period lapses. In many instances, we are a
party to more than one contract with a single entity. In these instances, each contract is
accounted for separately. We have not recorded any revenue that is at risk due to future
performance contingencies.
Construction revenues are recognized from our contracts with certain customers to perform
construction and design services (project development services) for various facilities. In these
instances, we act as the primary developer and subcontract with bonded National and/or Regional
Design Build Contractors. These construction revenues are recognized as earned on a percentage of
completion basis measured by the percentage of costs incurred to date as compared to the estimated
total cost for each contract. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts and changes
to cost estimates are made in the period in which we determine that such losses and changes are
probable. Typically, we enter into fixed price contracts and do not perform additional work unless
approved change orders are in place. Costs attributable to unapproved change orders are expensed in
the period in which the costs are incurred if we believe that it is not probable that the costs
will be recovered through a change in the contract price. If we believe that it is probable that
the costs will be recovered through a change in the contract price, costs related to unapproved
change orders are expensed in the period in which they are incurred, and contract revenue is
recognized to the extent of the costs incurred. Revenue in excess of the costs attributable to
unapproved change orders is not recognized until the change order is approved. Changes in job
performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability, including those arising from contract
penalty provisions, and final contract settlements, may result in revisions to estimated costs and
income, and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined. As the primary
contractor, we are exposed to the various risks associated with construction, including the risk of
cost overruns. Accordingly, we record our construction revenue on a gross basis and include the
related cost of construction activities in Operating Expenses.
When evaluating multiple element arrangements for certain contracts where we provide project
development services to our clients in addition to standard management services, we follow revenue
recognition guidance for multiple element arrangements. This revenue recognition guidance related
to multiple deliverables in an arrangement provides guidance on determining if separate contracts
should be evaluated as a single arrangement and if an arrangement involves a single unit of
accounting or separate units of accounting and if the arrangement is determined to have separate
units, how to allocate amounts received in the arrangement for revenue recognition purposes. In
instances where we provide these project development services and subsequent management services,
generally, the arrangement results in no delivered elements at the onset of the agreement. The
elements are delivered over the contract period as the project development and management services
are performed. Project development services are not provided separately to a customer without a
management contract. During the thirteen weeks ended April 3, 2011 we implemented ASU No. 2009-13
which provides amendments to revenue recognition criteria for separating consideration in multiple
element arrangements. The amendments, among other things, establish the selling price of a
deliverable, replace the term fair value with selling price and eliminate the residual method such
that consideration can be allocated to the deliverables using the relative selling price method
based on GEOs specific assumptions. As a result of the BI acquisition, we also periodically sell
our monitoring equipment and other services together in multiple-element arrangements. In such
cases, we allocate revenue on the basis of the relative selling price of the delivered and
undelivered elements. The selling price for each of the elements is estimated based on the price we
charge when the elements are sold on a standalone basis.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated
financial statements and the notes to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included in
Part I, Item 1, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Comparison of Thirteen Weeks Ended April 3, 2011 and Thirteen Weeks Ended April 4, 2010
For the purposes of the discussion below, First Quarter 2011 refers to the thirteen week period
ended April 3, 2011 and First Quarter 2010 refers to the thirteen week period ended April 4,
2010. As a result of the acquisition of Cornell, managements review of certain segment financial
data was revised with regards to the Bronx Community Re-entry Center and the Brooklyn Community
Re-entry Center. These facilities now report within the GEO Care segment and are no longer included
with U.S. Detention & Corrections. Disclosures for business segments reflect reclassifications for
all periods presented.

U.S. Detention & Corrections
Revenues increased in First Quarter 2011 compared to First Quarter 2010 primarily due to the
acquisition of Cornell which contributed additional revenues of $57.3 million. We also experienced
increases at other facilities in First Quarter 2011 due to: (i) the opening of the Blackwater River
Correctional Facility (Blackwater River) located in Milton, Florida in October 2010 which
contributed revenues of $7.3 million and (ii) an increase of $1.7 million at LaSalle Detention
Facility (LaSalle) located in Jena, Louisiana due to an increase in the population. These
increases were offset by aggregate decreases of $14.2 million due to the termination of our
contracts at the Moore Haven Correctional Facility (Moore Haven) located in Moore Haven, Florida,
Graceville Correctional Facility (Graceville) located in Graceville, Florida, South Texas
Intermediate Sanction Facility (South Texas ISF) in Houston, Texas, North Texas Intermediate
Sanction Facility (North Texas ISF) located in Fort Worth, Texas, and Bridgeport Correctional
Center (Bridgeport) in Bridgeport, Texas.
The number of compensated mandays in U.S. Detention & Corrections facilities was 4.3 million in
First Quarter 2011 compared to 3.5 million in First Quarter 2010. The increase in First Quarter
2011 is due to approximately one million additional mandays from Cornell and is offset by net
decreases in mandays at our other facilities primarily due to the terminated contracts discussed
above. We look at the average occupancy in our facilities to determine how we are managing our
available beds. The average occupancy is calculated by taking compensated mandays as a percentage
of capacity. The average occupancy in our U.S. corrections and detention facilities was 93.3% of
capacity in First Quarter 2011. The average occupancy in our U.S. correction and detention
facilities was 93.4% in First Quarter 2010 taking into account the reclassification of our Bronx
Community Re-entry Center and our Brooklyn Community Re-entry Center to GEO Care.
International Services
Revenues for our International Services segment during First Quarter 2011 increased by $7.2 million
over First Quarter 2010 due to several factors. Our contract for the management of the
Harmondsworth Immigration Removal Centre in London, England (Harmondsworth) experienced an
increase in revenues of $1.5 million primarily due to the activation of the 360-bed expansion in
July 2010. In addition, we experienced aggregate increases of $2.4 million at other international
facilities as a result of several factors including the full operation of Parklea Correctional
Centre (Parklea) located in Sydney, Australia, increases in services provided under the other
management contracts at our Australian subsidiary and contractual increases linked to the
inflationary index in South Africa. We experienced an increase in revenues of $4.6 million over
First Quarter 2010 due to foreign currency translation. These increases were partially offset by a
decrease in revenues of $1.3 million related to our terminated contract for the operation of the
Melbourne Custody Centre in Melbourne, Australia.
GEO Care
The increase in revenues for GEO Care in First Quarter 2011 compared to First Quarter 2010 is
primarily attributable to our acquisitions of Cornell and BI which contributed $41.5 million and
$17.8 million, respectively, in additional revenues. We also experienced an increase in revenues
of $1.2 million from the opening of Montgomery County Mental Health Treatment Facility (Montgomery
County) in Montgomery, Texas in March 2011. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in
revenues at our Columbia Regional Care Center (Columbia) in Columbia, South Carolina due to a
decrease in population.
Facility Construction & Design
43
Revenues from the Facility Construction & Design segment decreased significantly in First Quarter
2011 compared to First Quarter 2010 due to a decrease in construction activities at Blackwater
River Correctional Facility in Milton, Florida. The Blackwater River Correctional Facility
construction was completed in October 2010 and we began intake of inmates on October 5, 2010.

Operating expenses consist of those expenses incurred in the operation and management of our
correctional, detention and mental health and GEO Care facilities and expenses incurred in our
Facility Construction & Design segment. Overall, operating expense as a percentage of revenues
were lower in First Quarter 2011 compared to First Quarter 2010 primarily due to the significant
decrease in construction activity which has much lower margins.
U.S. Detention & Corrections
The increase in operating expenses for U.S. Detention & Corrections reflects the impact of our
acquisition of Cornell which resulted in an increase in operating expenses of $39.5 million. We
also experienced aggregate increases in operating expenses of $8.8 million due to: (i) the opening
of Blackwater River in October 2010; (ii) increases in population at LaSalle; and (iii) increases
in carrying costs for our newly expanded Aurora ICE Processing Center. These increases were offset
by aggregate decreases in operating expenses of $12.2 million due to the termination of contracts
at Moore Haven, Graceville, South Texas ISF, North Texas ISF and Bridgeport.
International Services
Operating expenses for our International Services segment during First Quarter 2011 increased $5.0
million over the prior year due to several factors including our new management contract for the
operation of the Harmondsworth expansion and an increase in labor costs at the Kutama-Sinthumule
Correctional Centre in South Africa which accounted for an aggregate increase in operating expenses
of $1.7 million. In addition, we experienced an increase in operating expenses at our Australian
subsidiary of $1.2 million primarily associated with the costs to provide additional services under
some of our management contracts. We also experienced overall increases in operating expenses of
$4.2 million in First Quarter 2011 compared to First Quarter 2010 due to the effects of foreign
currency translation. These increases were partially offset by aggregate decreases in operating
expenses of $2.0 million due to the termination of our Melbourne Custody Centre contract in
Melbourne, Australia effective April 2010 and a decrease in costs in First Quarter 2011 primarily
associated with the start-up of Parklea which we incurred in First Quarter 2010.
GEO Care
Operating expenses for residential treatment increased $46.5 million during First Quarter 2011 from
First Quarter 2010 primarily due to the operation of the Cornell facilities and our recent
acquisition of BI which contributed increases of $33.3 million and $13.3 million, respectively.
Facility Construction & Design
Operating expenses for Facility Construction & Design decreased during First Quarter 2011 compared
to First Quarter 2010 primarily due to the decrease in construction activities at Blackwater River
Correctional Facility.

U.S. Detention & Corrections
U.S. Detention & Corrections depreciation and amortization expense increased by $5.0 million in
First Quarter 2011 compared to First Quarter 2010 primarily as a result of our acquisition of
Cornell which contributed $4.4 million of the increase. We also experienced aggregate increases of
$0.6 million related to the completion of construction projects at the Broward Transition Center
located in Deerfield Beach, Florida, the Central Texas Detention Facility in San Antonio, Texas and
the completion of the Aurora ICE Processing Center in Aurora, Colorado. These increases were
partially offset by decreases in depreciation expense due to the termination of the management
contracts at Moore Haven and Graceville.
International Services
Depreciation and amortization expense increased slightly in First Quarter 2011 over First Quarter
2010 primarily due to our new management contract for the operation of the Harmondsworth expansion,
as discussed above, and also from changes in the foreign exchange rates.
GEO Care
The increase in depreciation and amortization expense for GEO Care in First Quarter 2011 compared
to First Quarter 2010 is primarily due to our acquisitions of Cornell and BI. Depreciation expense
and amortization expense increased by $1.9 million and $2.6 million, respectively, as a result of
these acquisitions.

General and administrative expenses comprise substantially all of our other unallocated operating
expenses. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of corporate management salaries
and benefits, professional fees and other administrative expenses. During First Quarter 2011,
general and administrative expenses increased $13.7 million as a result of our acquisitions of
Cornell and BI. In addition to the increase of the general and administrative expenses which we
believe to be recurring, such as rent expense and employee salaries and benefits, we also
experienced an increase in non-recurring acquisition related expenses of $5.7 million. These
acquisition related expenses consist primarily of professional fees, travel costs and other direct
administrative costs related to the acquisitions of Cornell and BI. Excluding the impact of the
non-recurring acquisition related expenses, general and administrative expenses increased slightly
as a percentage of revenues in First Quarter 2011 compared to First Quarter 2010 primarily due to
increases in labor.

The majority of our interest income generated in First Quarter 2011 and First Quarter 2010 is from
the cash balances at our Australian subsidiary. The increase in the current period over the same
period last year is mainly attributable to the favorable impact of the foreign currency effects of
a strengthening Australian Dollar.
45
The increase in interest expense of $9.1 million is primarily attributable to more indebtedness
outstanding in First Quarter 2011. We experienced increases in interest expense as a result of: (i)
aggregate increases related to indebtedness under
our 6.625% Senior Notes
of $3.0 million; (ii) an increase of $4.0 million due to greater outstanding borrowings under our
Senior Credit Facility; (iii) additional interest expense of $1.2 million due to less interest
capitalized; and (iv) an increase of $1.4 million, net of premium amortization, in interest expense
related to the non-recourse debt of MCF, one of our variable interest entities. Outstanding
borrowings, net of discount and swap, at April 3, 2011 and April 4, 2010, excluding non-recourse
debt and capital lease liabilities, were $1,252.6 million and $466.0 million, respectively.

The effective tax rate for the First Quarter 2011 was approximately 38.4% and includes certain
one-time items that favorably impacted the tax rate which were in-part offset by a portion of
transaction expenses related to the BI acquisition that are non-deductible. Without these one-time
items our effective rate would be 39.4%. We estimate our annual effective tax rate for fiscal year
2011 to be in the range of 39% to 40%.
Financial Condition
BI Acquisition
On February 10, 2011, we completed our previously announced acquisition of BI, a Colorado
corporation, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, entered into among GEO, BII Holding, a Delaware
corporation, which owns BI, GEO Acquisition IV, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned
subsidiary of GEO (Merger Sub), BII Investors IF LP, in its capacity as the stockholders
representative, and AEA Investors 2006 Fund L.P. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger
Sub merged with and into BII Holding, with BII Holding emerging as the surviving corporation of the
merger. As a result of the Merger, GEO paid merger consideration of $409.6 million in cash
excluding cash acquired, transaction related expenses and subject to certain adjustments. Under the
Merger Agreement, $12.5 million of the merger consideration was placed in an escrow account for a
one-year period to satisfy any applicable indemnification claims pursuant to the terms of the
Merger Agreement by GEO, the Merger Sub or its affiliates. At the time of the BI Acquisition,
approximately $78.4 million, including accrued interest was outstanding under BIs senior term loan
and $107.5 million, including accrued interest was outstanding under its senior subordinated note
purchase agreement, excluding the unamortized debt discount. All indebtedness of BI under its
senior term loan and senior subordinated note purchase agreement were repaid by BI with a portion
of the $409.6 million of merger consideration.
Capital Requirements
Our current cash requirements consist of amounts needed for working capital, debt service, supply
purchases, investments in joint ventures, and capital expenditures related to either the
development of new correctional, detention, mental health, residential treatment and re-entry
facilities, or the maintenance of existing facilities. In addition, some of our management
contracts require us to make substantial initial expenditures of cash in connection with opening or
renovating a facility. Generally, these initial expenditures are subsequently fully or partially
recoverable as pass-through costs or are billable as a component of the per diem rates or monthly
fixed fees to the contracting agency over the original term of the contract. Additional capital
needs may also arise in the future with respect to possible acquisitions, other corporate
transactions or other corporate purposes.
We are currently developing a number of projects using company financing. We estimate that these
existing capital projects will cost approximately $281.0 million, of which $87.6 million was spent
through First Quarter 2011. We have future committed capital projects for which we estimate our
remaining capital requirements to be approximately $193.4 million, which will be spent in fiscal
years 2011 and 2012. Capital expenditures related to facility maintenance costs are expected to
range between $20.0 million and $25.0 million for fiscal year 2011. In addition to these current
estimated capital requirements for 2011 and 2012, we are currently in the process of bidding on, or
evaluating potential bids for the design, construction and management of a number of new projects.
In the event that we win bids for these projects and decide to self-finance their construction, our
capital requirements in 2011 and/or 2012 could materially increase.
46
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On August 4, 2010, we entered into a new Credit Agreement, which we refer to as our Senior Credit
Facility. On February 8, 2011, we entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Credit Agreement, which we
refer to as Amendment No. 1. Amendment No. 1, among other things, amended certain definitions and
covenants relating to the total leverage ratios and the senior secured leverage ratios set forth in
the Credit Agreement. As of April 3, 2011, the Senior Credit Facility is comprised of (i) a $150.0
million Term Loan A, referred to as Term Loan A, bearing interest at LIBOR plus 2.25% and
maturing August 4, 2015, (ii) a $150.0 million Term Loan A-2, referred to as Term Loan A-2,
bearing interest at LIBOR plus 2.75% and maturing August 4, 2015, (iii) a $200.0 million Term Loan
B, referred to as Term Loan B, bearing interest at LIBOR plus 3.25% with a LIBOR floor of 1.50%
and maturing August 4, 2016 and (iv) a Revolving Credit Facility (Revolver) of $500.0 million
bearing interest at LIBOR plus 2.25% and maturing August 4, 2015.
On February 10, 2011, we used the funds from the new $150.0 million incremental Term Loan A-2 along
with the net cash proceeds from the offering of the 6.625% Senior Notes to finance the acquisition
of BI. As of April 3, 2011, we had $146.3 million outstanding under the Term Loan A, $150.0 million
outstanding under the Term Loan A-2, $199.0 million outstanding under the Term Loan B, and our
$500.0 million Revolving Credit Facility had $210.0 million outstanding in loans, $70.4 million
outstanding in letters of credit and $219.6 million available for borrowings. We also had the
ability to borrow $250.0 million under the accordion feature of our Senior Credit Facility subject
to lender demand and market conditions. Our significant debt obligations could have material
consequences. See Risk Factors Risks Related to Our High Level of Indebtedness in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2011.
We plan to fund all of our capital needs, including our capital expenditures, from cash on hand,
cash from operations, borrowings under our Senior Credit Facility and any other financings which
our management and Board of Directors, in their discretion, may consummate. Currently, our primary
source of liquidity to meet these requirements is cash flow from operations and borrowings from the
$500.0 million Revolver.
Our management believes that cash on hand, cash flows from operations and availability under our
Senior Credit Facility will be adequate to support our capital
requirements through 2012 disclosed in Capital Requirements above. In addition to additional capital requirements which
will be required relative to the acquisitions of Cornell and BI, we are also in the process of
bidding on, or evaluating potential bids for, the design, construction and management of a number
of new projects. In the event that we win bids for some or all of these projects and decide to
self-finance their construction, our capital requirements in 2011 and/or 2012 could materially
increase. In that event, our cash on hand, cash flows from operations and borrowings under the
existing Senior Credit Facility may not provide sufficient liquidity to meet our capital needs
through 2011 and we could be forced to seek additional financing or refinance our existing
indebtedness. There can be no assurance that any such financing or refinancing would be available
to us on terms equal to or more favorable than our current financing terms, or at all.
In the future, our access to capital and ability to compete for future capital-intensive projects
will also be dependent upon, among other things, our ability to meet certain financial covenants in
the indenture governing the 73/4% Senior Notes, the indenture governing the 6.625% Senior Notes and
our Senior Credit Facility. A substantial decline in our financial performance could limit our
access to capital pursuant to these covenants and have a material adverse affect on our liquidity
and capital resources and, as a result, on our financial condition and results of operations. In
addition to these foregoing potential constraints on our capital, a number of state government
agencies have been suffering from budget deficits and liquidity issues. While we expect to be in
compliance with our debt covenants, if these constraints were to intensify, our liquidity could be
materially adversely impacted as could our compliance with these debt covenants.
Executive Retirement Agreement
As of April 3, 2011, we had a non-qualified deferred compensation agreement with our Chief
Executive Officer (CEO). The current agreement provides for a lump sum payment upon retirement,
no sooner than age 55. As of April 3, 2011, the CEO had reached age 55 and was eligible to receive
the payment upon retirement. If our CEO had retired as of April 3,
2011, we would have had to pay him $5.8 million including a tax
gross-up relating to the retirement payment equal to $2.1 million. Based on our current capitalization, we do not believe that making
this payment would materially adversely impact our liquidity.
We are also exposed to various commitments and contingencies which may have a material adverse
effect on our liquidity. See Part II Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
47
Senior Credit Facility
On August 4, 2010, we terminated our Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which we refer to
as the Prior Senior Credit Agreement, and entered into a new Credit Agreement by and among GEO,
as Borrower, BNP Paribas, as Administrative Agent, and the lenders who are, or may from time to
time become, a party thereto. On February 8, 2011, we entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Senior
Credit Facility. Amendment No. 1, among other things amended certain definitions and covenants
relating to the total leverage ratios and the senior secured leverage ratios set forth in the
Senior Credit Facility. This amendment increased our borrowing capacity by $250.0 million. As of
April 3, 2011, the Senior Credit Facility was comprised of: (i) a $150.0 million Term Loan A due
August 2015, bearing interest at LIBOR plus 2.25%, (ii) a $150.0 million Term Loan A-2 due August
2015, bearing interest at LIBOR plus 2.75%, (iii) a $200.0 million Term Loan B due August 2016,
bearing interest at LIBOR plus 3.25% with a LIBOR floor of 1.50%, and (iv) a $500.0 million
Revolving Credit Facility due August 2015 bearing interest at
LIBOR plus 2.25%. On May 2, 2011, we executed Amendment No. 2 to our Senior Credit Facility. As a result of this
amendment, relative to our Term Loan B, the Applicable Rate was reduced to 2.75% per annum from
3.25% per annum in the case of Eurodollar loans and to 1.75% per annum from 2.25% per annum in the
case of ABR loans and the LIBOR floor was reduced to 1.00% from 1.50%.
Incremental borrowings of $150.0 million under our amended Senior Credit Facility along with
proceeds from our $300.0 million offering of the 6.625% Senior Notes were used to finance the
acquisition of BI. As of April 3, 2011, we had $493.5 million in aggregate borrowings outstanding,
net of discount, under the Term Loan A, Term Loan A-2 and Term Loan B, $210.0 million in borrowings
under the Revolver, approximately $70.4 million in letters of credit and $219.6 million in
additional borrowing capacity under the Revolver. The weighed average interest rate on outstanding
borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility, as amended, as of April 3, 2011 was 3.3%.
Indebtedness under the Revolver, the Term Loan A and the Term Loan A-2 bears interest based on the
Total Leverage Ratio as of the most recent determination date, as defined, in each of the instances
below at the stated rate:

The Senior Credit Facility contains certain customary representations and warranties, and certain
customary covenants that restrict our ability to, among other things as permitted (i) create, incur
or assume indebtedness, (ii) create, incur, assume or permit liens, (iii) make loans and
investments, (iv) engage in mergers, acquisitions and asset sales, (v) make restricted payments,
(vi) issue, sell or otherwise dispose of capital stock, (vii) engage in transactions with
affiliates, (viii) allow the total leverage ratio or senior secured leverage ratio to exceed
certain maximum ratios or allow the interest coverage ratio to be less than a certain ratio, (ix)
cancel, forgive, make any voluntary or optional payment or prepayment on, or redeem or acquire for
value any senior notes, (x) alter the business we conduct, and (xi) materially impair our lenders
security interests in the collateral for our loans.
We must not exceed the following Total Leverage Ratios, as computed at the end of each fiscal
quarter for the immediately preceding four quarter-period:

Additionally, there is an Interest Coverage Ratio under which the lender will not permit a ratio of
less than 3.00 to 1.00 relative to (a) Adjusted EBITDA for any period of four consecutive fiscal
quarters to (b) Interest Expense, less that attributable to non-recourse debt of unrestricted
subsidiaries.
Events of default under the Senior Credit Facility include, but are not limited to, (i) our failure
to pay principal or interest when due, (ii) our material breach of any representations or warranty,
(iii) covenant defaults, (iv) liquidation, reorganization or other relief relating to bankruptcy or
insolvency, (v) cross default under certain other material indebtedness, (vi) unsatisfied final
judgments over a specified threshold, (vii) material environmental liability claims which have been
asserted against us, and (viii) a change in control. All of the obligations under the Senior Credit
Facility are unconditionally guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries and secured by substantially
all of our present and future tangible and intangible assets and all present and future tangible
and intangible assets of each guarantor, including but not limited to (i) a first-priority pledge
of substantially all of the outstanding capital stock owned by us and each guarantor, and (ii)
perfected first-priority security interests in substantially all of ours, and each guarantors,
present and future tangible and intangible assets and the present and future tangible and
intangible assets of each guarantor. Our failure to comply with any of the covenants under our
Senior Credit Facility could cause an event of default under such documents and result in an
acceleration of all outstanding senior secured indebtedness. We believe we were in compliance
with all of the covenants of the Senior Credit Facility as of April 3, 2011.
6.625% Senior Notes
On February 10, 2011, we completed a private offering of $300.0 million in aggregate principal
amount of 6.625% senior unsecured notes due 2021. These senior unsecured notes pay
interest semi-annually in cash in arrears on February 15 and August 15, beginning on August 15,
2011. We realized net proceeds of $293.3 million at the close of the transaction. We used the net
proceeds of the offering together with borrowings of $150.0 million under the Senior Credit
Facility to finance the acquisition of BI. The remaining net proceeds from the offering were used
for general corporate purposes.
The 6.625% Senior Notes are guaranteed by certain subsidiaries and are unsecured, senior
obligations of GEO and these obligations rank as follows: pari passu with any unsecured, senior
indebtedness of GEO and the guarantors, including the 73/4% Senior Notes; senior to any future
indebtedness of GEO and the guarantors that is expressly subordinated to the 6.625% Senior Notes
and the guarantees; effectively junior to any secured indebtedness of GEO and the guarantors,
including indebtedness under our Senior Credit Facility, to the extent of the value of the assets
securing such indebtedness; and structurally junior to all obligations of our subsidiaries that are
not guarantors.
On or after February 15, 2016, we may, at our option, redeem all or part of the 6.625% Senior Notes
upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as
percentages of principal amount) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest and liquidated
damages, if any, on the 6.625% Senior Notes redeemed, to the applicable redemption date, if
redeemed during the 12-month period beginning on February 15 of the years indicated below:

Before February 15, 2016, we may redeem some or all of the 6.625% Senior Notes at a redemption
price equal to 100% of the principal amount of each note to be redeemed plus a make whole
premium, together with accrued and unpaid interest and liquidated damages, if any, to the date of
redemption. In addition, at any time before February 15, 2014, we may redeem up to 35% of the
aggregate principal amount of the 6.625% Senior Notes with the net cash proceeds from specified
equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 106.625%
49
of the principal amount of each note to be
redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest and liquidated damages, if any, to the date of
redemption.
The indenture governing the notes contains certain covenants, including limitations and
restrictions on us and our restricted subsidiaries ability to: incur additional indebtedness or
issue preferred stock; make dividend payments or other restricted payments; create liens; sell
assets; enter into transactions with affiliates; and enter into mergers, consolidations or sales of
all or substantially all of our assets. As of the date of the indenture, all of our subsidiaries,
other than certain dormant domestic and other subsidiaries and all foreign subsidiaries in
existence on the date of the indenture, were restricted subsidiaries. Our failure to comply with
certain of the covenants under the indenture governing the 6.625% Notes could cause an event of
default of any indebtedness and result in an acceleration of such indebtedness. In addition, there
is a cross-default provision which becomes enforceable upon failure of payment of indebtedness at
final maturity. Our unrestricted subsidiaries will not be subject to any of the restrictive
covenants in the indenture. We believe we were in compliance with all of the covenants of the
Indenture governing the 6.625% Senior Notes as of April 3, 2011.
73/4% Senior Notes
On October 20, 2009, we completed a private offering of $250.0 million in aggregate principal
amount of our 73/4% Senior Notes due 2017. These senior unsecured notes pay interest semi-annually in
cash in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning on April 15, 2010. We realized
net proceeds of $246.4 million at the close of the transaction, net of the discount on the notes of
$3.6 million. We used the net proceeds of the offering to fund the repurchase of all of our 81/4%
Senior Notes due 2013 and pay down part of the Revolver under the Prior Senior Credit Agreement.
The 73/4% Senior Notes are guaranteed by certain subsidiaries and are unsecured, senior obligations
of GEO and these obligations rank as follows: pari passu with any unsecured, senior indebtedness of
GEO and the guarantors, including the 6.625% Senior Notes; senior to any future indebtedness of GEO and the guarantors that is
expressly subordinated to the notes and the guarantees; effectively junior to any secured
indebtedness of GEO and the guarantors, including indebtedness under our Credit Agreement, to the
extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and effectively junior to all
obligations of our subsidiaries that are not guarantors.
On or after October 15, 2013, we may, at our option, redeem all or a part of the 73/4% Senior Notes
upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as
percentages of principal amount) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest and liquidated
damages, if any, on the 73/4% Senior Notes redeemed, to the applicable redemption date, if redeemed

Before October 15, 2013, we may redeem some or all of the 73/4% Senior Notes at a redemption price
equal to 100% of the principal amount of each note to be redeemed plus a make-whole premium
together with accrued and unpaid interest and liquidated damages, if any. In addition, at any time
on or prior to October 15, 2012, we may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the
notes with the net cash proceeds from specified equity offerings at a redemption price equal to
107.750% of the principal amount of each note to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest and
liquidated damages, if any, to the date of redemption.
The indenture governing the notes contains certain covenants, including limitations and
restrictions on us and our restricted subsidiaries ability to: incur additional indebtedness or
issue preferred stock; make dividend payments or other restricted payments; create liens; sell
assets; enter into transactions with affiliates; and enter into mergers, consolidations, or sales
of all or substantially all of our assets. As of the date of the indenture, all of our
subsidiaries, other than certain dormant and other domestic subsidiaries and all foreign
subsidiaries in existence on the date of the indenture, were restricted subsidiaries. Our
restricted subsidiaries will not be subject to any of the restrictive covenants in the indenture.
In addition, there is a cross-default provision which becomes enforceable upon failure of payment
of indebtedness at final maturity. We believe we were in compliance with all of the covenants of
the Indenture governing the 73/4% Senior Notes as of April 3, 2011.

Non-Recourse Debt
South Texas Detention Complex
We have a debt service requirement related to the development of the South Texas Detention Complex,
a 1,904-bed detention complex in Frio County, Texas acquired in November 2005 from Correctional
Services Corporation, which we refer to as CSC. CSC was awarded the contract in February 2004 by
the Department of Homeland Security, ICE, for development and operation of the detention center. In
order to finance the construction of the complex, South Texas Local Development Corporation, which
we refer to as STLDC, was created and issued $49.5 million in taxable revenue bonds. These bonds
mature in February 2016 and have fixed coupon rates between 4.63% and 5.07%. Additionally, we are
owed $5.0 million in the form of subordinated notes by STLDC which represents the principal amount
of financing provided to STLDC by CSC for initial development.
We have an operating agreement with STLDC, the owner of the complex, which provides us with the
sole and exclusive right to operate and manage the detention center. The operating agreement and
bond indenture require the revenue from our contract with ICE to be used to fund the periodic debt
service requirements as they become due. The net revenues, if any, after various expenses such as
trustee fees, property taxes and insurance premiums are distributed to us to cover operating
expenses and management fees. We are responsible for the entire operations of the facility
including the payment of all operating expenses whether or not there are sufficient revenues. STLDC
has no liabilities resulting from its ownership. The bonds have a ten-year term and are
non-recourse to us and STLDC. The bonds are fully insured and the sole source of payment for the
bonds is the operating revenues of the center. At the end of the ten-year term of the bonds, title
and ownership of the facility transfers from STLDC to us. We have determined that we are the
primary beneficiary of STLDC and consolidate the entity as a result. The carrying value of the
facility as of April 3, 2011 and January 2, 2011 was $26.9 million and $27.0 million, respectively.
On February 1, 2011, STLDC made a payment from its restricted cash account of $4.8 million for the
current portion of its periodic debt service requirement in relation to the STLDC operating
agreement and bond indenture. As of April 3, 2011, the remaining balance of the debt service
requirement under the STLDC financing agreement is $27.3 million, of which $5.0 million is due
within the next twelve months. Also, as of April 3, 2011, included in current restricted cash and
non-current restricted cash is $6.3 million and $5.6 million, respectively, of funds held in trust
with respect to the STLDC for debt service and other reserves.
Northwest Detention Center
On June 30, 2003, CSC arranged financing for the construction of the Northwest Detention Center in
Tacoma, Washington, referred to as the Northwest Detention Center, which was completed and opened
for operation in April 2004 and acquired by us in November 2005. In connection with the original
financing, CSC of Tacoma LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CSC, issued a $57.0 million note payable
to the Washington Economic Development Finance Authority, referred to as WEDFA, an instrumentality
of the State of Washington, which issued revenue bonds and subsequently loaned the proceeds of the
bond issuance back to CSC for the purposes of constructing the Northwest Detention Center. The
bonds are non-recourse to us and the loan from WEDFA to CSC is also non-recourse to us. These bonds
mature in February 2014 and have fixed coupon rates between 3.80% and 4.10%.
The proceeds of the loan were disbursed into escrow accounts held in trust to be used to pay the
issuance costs for the revenue bonds, to construct the Northwest Detention Center and to establish
debt service and other reserves. No payments were made during the thirteen weeks ended April 3,
2011. As of April 3, 2011, the remaining balance of the debt service requirement is $25.7 million,
of which $6.1 million is due within the next 12 months.
As of April 3, 2011, included in current restricted cash and non-current restricted cash is $7.0
million and $3.8 million, respectively, as funds held in trust with respect to the Northwest
Detention Center for debt service and other reserves.
Municipal Correctional Finance, L.P.
Municipal Correctional Finance, L.P., which we refer to as MCF, one of our consolidated variable
interest entities, is obligated for the outstanding balance of the 8.47% Revenue Bonds. The bonds
bear interest at a rate of 8.47% per annum and are payable in semi-annual installments of interest
and annual installments of principal. All unpaid principal and accrued interest on the bonds is due
on the earlier of August 1, 2016 (maturity) or as noted under the bond documents. The bonds are
limited, nonrecourse obligations of MCF and are
51
collateralized by the property and equipment, bond
reserves, assignment of subleases and substantially all assets related to the facilities owned by
MCF. The bonds are not guaranteed by us or our subsidiaries.
The 8.47% Revenue Bond indenture provides for the establishment and maintenance by MCF for the
benefit of the trustee under the indenture of a debt service reserve
fund. As of April 13, 2011,
the debt service reserve fund has a balance of $23.8 million. The debt service reserve fund is
available to the trustee to pay debt service on the 8.47% Revenue Bonds when needed, and to pay
final debt service on the 8.47% Revenue Bonds. If MCF is in default in its obligation under the
8.47% Revenue Bonds indenture, the trustee may declare the principal outstanding and accrued
interest immediately due and payable. MCF has the right to cure a default of non-payment
obligations. The 8.47% Revenue Bonds are subject to extraordinary mandatory redemption in certain
instances upon casualty or condemnation. The 8.47% Revenue Bonds may be redeemed at the option of
MCF prior to their final scheduled payment dates at par plus accrued interest plus a make-whole
premium.
Australia
In connection with the financing and management of one Australian facility, our wholly-owned
Australian subsidiary financed the facilitys development and subsequent expansion in 2003 with
long-term debt obligations. These obligations are non-recourse to us and total $45.6 million and
$46.3 million at April 3, 2011 and January 2, 2011, respectively. As a condition of the loan, we
are required to maintain a restricted cash balance of AUD 5.0 million, which, at April 3, 2011, was
$5.2 million. The restricted cash balance is included in the non-current portion of restricted cash
and the annual maturities of the long-term portion of the future debt obligation are included in
non-recourse debt. The term of the non-recourse debt is through 2017 and it bears interest at a
variable rate quoted by certain Australian banks plus 140 basis points. Any obligations or
liabilities of the subsidiary are matched by a similar or corresponding commitment from the
government of the State of Victoria.
Guarantees
In connection with the creation of South African Custodial Services Ltd., referred to as SACS, we
entered into certain guarantees related to the financing, construction and operation of the prison.
We guaranteed certain obligations of SACS under its debt agreements up to a maximum amount of 60.0
million South African Rand, or $9.0 million, to SACS senior lenders through the issuance of
letters of credit. Additionally, SACS is required to fund a restricted account for the payment of
certain costs in the event of contract termination. We have guaranteed the payment of 60% of
amounts which may be payable by SACS into the restricted account and provided a standby letter of
credit of 8.4 million South African Rand, or $1.3 million, as security for our guarantee. Our
obligations under this guarantee expire upon the release from SACS of its obligations in respect to
the restricted account under its debt agreements. No amounts have been drawn against these letters
of credit, which are included as part of the value of outstanding letters of credit under our
Revolver.
We have agreed to provide a loan, if necessary, of up to 20.0 million South African Rand, or $3.0
million, referred to as the Standby Facility, to SACS for the purpose of financing SACS
obligations under its contract with the South African government. No amounts have been funded under
the Standby Facility, and we do not currently anticipate that such funding will be required by SACS
in the future. Our obligations under the Standby Facility expire upon the earlier of full funding
or release from SACS of its obligations under its debt agreements. The lenders ability to draw on
the Standby Facility is limited to certain circumstances, including termination of the contract.
We have also guaranteed certain obligations of SACS to the security trustee for SACS lenders. We
have secured our guarantee to the security trustee by ceding our rights to claims against SACS in
respect of any loans or other finance agreements, and by pledging our shares in SACS. Our liability
under the guarantee is limited to the cession and pledge of shares. The guarantee expires upon
expiration of the cession and pledge agreements.
In connection with a design, build, finance and maintenance contract for a facility in Canada, we
guaranteed certain potential tax obligations of a not-for-profit entity. The potential estimated
exposure of these obligations is CAD 2.5 million, or $2.6 million commencing in 2017. We have a
liability of $1.8 million and $1.8 million related to this exposure as of April 3, 2011 and January
2, 2011, respectively. To secure this guarantee, we purchased Canadian dollar denominated
securities with maturities matched to the estimated tax obligations in 2017 to 2021. We have
recorded an asset and a liability equal to the current fair market value of those securities on our
consolidated balance sheet. We do not currently operate or manage this facility.
52
At April 3, 2011, we also had eight letters of guarantee outstanding totaling $10.0 million under
separate international facilities relating to performance guarantees of our Australian subsidiary.
Except as discussed above, we dont have any off balance sheet arrangements.
We are also exposed to various commitments and contingencies which may have a material adverse
effect on our liquidity. See Part II Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
Derivatives
As of April 3, 2011, we have four interest rate swap agreements in the aggregate notional amount of
$100.0 million. We have designated these interest rate swaps as hedges against changes in the fair
value of a designated portion of the 73/4% Senior Notes due to changes in underlying interest rates.
These interest rate swaps, which have payment, expiration dates and call provisions that mirror the
terms of the 73/4% Senior Notes, effectively convert $100.0 million of the 73/4% Senior Notes into
variable rate obligations. Each of the swaps has a termination clause that gives the counterparty
the right to terminate the interest rate swaps at fair market value, under certain circumstances.
In addition to the termination clause, these interest rate swaps also have call provisions which
specify that the lender can elect to settle the swap for the call option price. Under these
interest rates swaps, we receive a fixed interest rate payment from the financial counterparties to
the agreements equal to 73/4% per year calculated on the notional $100.0 million amount, while we
make a variable interest rate payment to the same counterparties equal to the three-month LIBOR
plus a fixed margin of between 4.16% and 4.29%, also calculated on the notional $100.0 million
amount. Changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps are recorded in earnings along with
related designated changes in the value of the 73/4% Senior Notes. Total net gains (losses)
recognized and recorded in earnings related to these fair value hedges was $(1.0) million and $0.4
million in the thirteen weeks ended April 3, 2011 and April 4, 2010, respectively. As of April 3,
2011 and January 2, 2011, the swap assets fair values were $2.3 million and $3.3 million,
respectively. There was no material ineffectiveness of these interest rate swaps during the fiscal
periods ended April 3, 2011 or April 4, 2010.
Our Australian subsidiary is a party to an interest rate swap agreement to fix the interest rate on
its variable rate non-recourse debt to 9.7%. We have determined the swap, which has a notional
amount of $50.9 million, payment and expiration dates, and call provisions that coincide with the
terms of the non-recourse debt to be an effective cash flow hedge. Accordingly, we record the
change in the value of the interest rate swap in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of
applicable income taxes. Total unrealized loss recognized and recorded in accumulated other
comprehensive income, net of tax, related to these cash flow hedges was $0.2 million and $0.0
million for the thirteen weeks ended April 3, 2011 and April 4, 2010, respectively. The total value
of the swap asset as of April 3, 2011 and January 2, 2011 was $1.6 million and $1.8 million,
respectively, and is recorded as a component of other assets within the accompanying consolidated
balance sheets. There was no material ineffectiveness of this interest rate swap for the fiscal
periods presented. We do not expect to enter into any transactions during the next twelve months
which would result in the reclassification into earnings or losses associated with this swap
currently reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
Cash Flow
Cash and cash equivalents as of April 3, 2011 was $85.9 million, an increase of $46.2 million from
January 2, 2011.
Cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations amounted to $69.1 million in First
Quarter 2011 versus cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations of $64.7 million
in First Quarter 2010. Cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations in First
Quarter 2011 was positively impacted by the increase of depreciation, which is a non-cash expense
and increased by $9.6 million primarily due to our acquisitions of Cornell and BI. This increase
was more than offset by an increase in cash payments made toward accounts payable, accrued expenses
and other liabilities. Cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations in First
Quarter 2010 was positively impacted by an increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other
liabilities of $10.7 million due to the timing of cash payments to our customers and our employees,
and a decrease in accounts receivable and other assets of $21.5 million primarily due to the timing
of cash collections from our customers.
Cash used in investing activities amounted to $444.9 million in First Quarter 2011 compared to cash
used in investing activities of $17.9 million in First Quarter 2010. Cash used in investing
activities in First Quarter 2011 primarily reflects our cash consideration for the purchase of BI
for $409.6 million. In addition, we used $38.7 million for capital expenditures. Cash used in
investing activities in the First Quarter 2010 primarily reflects capital expenditures of $15.7
million.
53
Cash provided by financing activities in First Quarter 2011 amounted to $427.2 million compared to
cash used in financing activities of $50.4 million in First Quarter 2010. Cash provided by
financing activities in the First Quarter 2011 reflects proceeds from our Senior Credit Facility of
$161.0 million and proceeds of $300.0 million from the issuance of our 6.625% Senior Notes offset by payments on our Senior Credit Facility of $15.4 million and payments on
non-recourse debt of $6.1 million. We also made a cash distribution of $4.0 million to the partners
of MCF and paid $9.3 million in debt issuance costs
associated with the financing of the BI Acquisition. Cash used in financing activities in the
First Quarter 2010 of $50.4 million reflects payments for the repurchase of our common stock of
$53.9 million, payments on long-term debt and non-recourse debt of $12.8 million offset by proceeds
received from borrowings under the revolving portion of our Prior Senior Credit Agreement of $15.0
million.
Outlook
The following discussion contains statements that are not historical statements and, therefore,
constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. Our forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that
could cause actual results to differ materially from those stated or implied in the forward-looking
statement. Please refer to Part I Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the fiscal year ended January 2, 2011, the Forward-Looking Statements Safe
Harbor section in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as well as the other disclosures contained in
our Annual Report on Form 10-K, for further discussion on forward-looking statements and the risks
and other factors that could prevent us from achieving our goals and cause the assumptions
underlying the forward-looking statements and the actual results to differ materially from those
expressed in or implied by those forward-looking statements.
Revenue
Domestically, we continue to be encouraged by the number of opportunities that have recently
developed in the privatized corrections and detention industry. Overcrowding at corrections
facilities in various states and increased demand for bed space at federal prisons and detention
facilities are two of the factors that have contributed to the opportunities for privatization.
However, these positive trends may in the future be impacted by government budgetary constraints.
Recently, we have experienced a delay in cash receipts from California and other states may follow
suit. While the mid-year budget shortages faced by states in fiscal year 2011 have been less severe
than in prior years, several states still face ongoing budget shortfalls. According to the National
Conference of State Legislatures, 31 states currently project budget gaps in fiscal year 2012 while
19 states currently anticipate budget gaps in fiscal year 2013. As a result of budgetary pressures,
state correctional agencies may pursue a number of cost savings initiatives which may include the
early release of inmates, changes to parole laws and sentencing guidelines, and reductions in per
diem rates and/or the scope of services provided by private operators. These potential cost savings
initiatives could have a material adverse impact on our current operations and/or our ability to
pursue new business opportunities. Additionally, if state budgetary constraints, as discussed
above, persist or intensify, our state customers ability to pay us may be impaired and/or we may
be forced to renegotiate our management contracts on less favorable terms and our financial
condition results of operations or cash flows could be materially adversely impacted. We plan to
actively bid on any new projects that fit our target profile for profitability and operational
risk. Although we are pleased with the overall industry outlook, positive trends in the industry
may be offset by several factors, including budgetary constraints, unanticipated contract
terminations, contract non-renewals, and/or contract re-bids. Although we have historically had a
relative high contract renewal rate, there can be no assurance that we will be able to renew our
expiring management contracts on favorable terms, or at all. Also, while we are pleased with our
track record in re-bid situations, we cannot assure that we will prevail in any such future
situations.
Internationally, during the second half of fiscal year 2009 our subsidiaries in the United Kingdom
and Australia began the operation and management under two new contracts with an aggregate of 1,083
beds. In July 2010, our subsidiary in the United Kingdom (referred to as the UK) began operating
the 360-bed expansion at Harmondsworth increasing the capacity of that facility to 620 beds from
260 beds. In March 2011, we executed a contract with the United Kingdom Border Agency for the
management and operation of the 217-bed Dungavel House Immigration Removal Centre located near
Glasgow, Scotland. GEO will commence operation of this Center on September 25, 2011. Also in
March 2011, our newly formed joint venture in the United Kingdom, GEO Amey PECS, Ltd., which we
refer to as GEOAmey, was awarded three contracts by the Ministry of Justice in the United Kingdom
for the provision of prison escort and custody services. We believe there are additional
opportunities in the UK such as additional market testing of prisons, electronic monitoring of
offenders and community corrections. Finally, the UK government had announced plans to develop
five new 1,500-bed prisons to be financed, built and managed by the private sector. GEO has gone
through the prequalification process for this procurement and has been invited to compete on these
opportunities. We are currently awaiting a revised timeline from the governmental agency in the UK
so we may continue to pursue this project. We are continuing to monitor this opportunity and, at
this time, we believe the government in the UK is reviewing this plan to determine the best way to
proceed. In South Africa, we have bid on projects for the
54
design, construction and operation of
four 3,000-bed prison projects totaling 12,000 beds. Requests for proposal were issued in December
2008 and we submitted our bids on the projects at the end of May 2009. The South African government
has announced that it intends to complete its evaluation of four existing bids (including ours) by
November 2011. No more than two prison projects can be awarded to any one bidder. The New Zealand
government has also solicited expressions of interest for a new design, build, finance and
management contract for a new correctional center for 960 beds and our GEO Australia subsidiary has
been short-listed for participation in this procurement. We believe that additional opportunities
will become available in international markets and we plan to actively bid on any opportunities
that fit our target profile for profitability and operational risk.
With respect to our mental health, residential treatment, youth services and re-entry services
business conducted through our wholly-owned subsidiary, GEO Care, we are currently pursuing a
number of business development opportunities. In connection with our merger with Cornell in August
2010 and our acquisition of BI in February 2011, we have significantly expanded our operations by
adding 44 facilities and also the service offerings of GEO Care by adding electronic monitoring
services and community re-entry and immigration related supervision services. Through both organic
growth and acquisitions, and subsequent to our acquisition of BI in February 2011, we have been
able to grow GEO Cares business to approximately 6,500 beds and 60,000 offenders under community
supervision.
GEO Care assumed management and operation of the new 100-bed Montgomery County Mental Health
Treatment Facility in Texas in March 2011. We continue to expend resources on informing state and
local governments about the benefits of privatization and we anticipate that there will be new
opportunities in the future as those efforts begin to yield results. We believe we are well
positioned to capitalize on any suitable opportunities that become available in this area.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses consist of those expenses incurred in the operation and management of our
contracts to provide services to our governmental clients. Labor and related cost represented 59.1%
of our operating expenses in First Quarter 2011. Additional significant operating expenses include
food, utilities and inmate medical costs. In First Quarter 2011, operating expenses totaled 76.4%
of our consolidated revenues. Our operating expenses as a percentage of revenue in 2011 will be
impacted by the opening of any new facilities. We also expect increases to depreciation expense as
a percentage of revenue due to carrying costs we will incur for a newly constructed and expanded
facility for which we have no corresponding management contract for the expansion beds and
potential carrying costs of certain facilities we acquired from Cornell with no corresponding
management contracts. Additionally, we will experience increases as a result of the amortization of
intangible assets acquired in connection with our acquisitions of Cornell and BI. In addition to
the factors discussed relative to our current operations, we expect to experience overall increases
in operating expenses as a result of the acquisitions of Cornell and BI. As of April 3, 2011, our
worldwide operations include the management and/or ownership of approximately 80,000 beds at 116
correctional, detention and residential treatment, youth services and community-based facilities
including idle facilities and projects under development. See the discussion below regarding
Synergies and Cost Savings.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of corporate management salaries and
benefits, professional fees and other administrative expenses. In First Quarter 2011, general and
administrative expenses totaled 8.4% of our consolidated revenues including the impact of non
recurring acquisition related expenses. We expect general and administrative expenses as a
percentage of revenue in 2011 to increase slightly over historical results. In connection with our
merger with Cornell, we incurred approximately $25 million in
acquisition related costs, including $7.9
million in debt extinguishment costs, during fiscal year ended 2010
and $1.8 million in the thirteen weeks ended April 3, 2011. In connection with our
acquisition of BI, we incurred $7.7 million of acquisition related costs during fiscal year 2010,
$3.9 million in First Quarter 2011 and expect to incur between
$1 million and $2 million during the
remainder of 2011. We expect business development costs to remain consistent as we pursue
additional business development opportunities in all of our business lines and build the corporate
infrastructure necessary to support our mental health residential treatment services business. We
also plan to continue expending resources from time to time on the evaluation of potential
acquisition targets.
Synergies and Cost Savings
Our management anticipates annual synergies of approximately $12-$15 million during the year
following the completion of the merger with Cornell and approximately $3-$5 million during the year
following our acquisition of BI. There may be potential to achieve additional synergies thereafter.
We believe any such additional synergies would be achieved primarily from greater operating
55
efficiencies, capturing inherent economies of scale and leveraging corporate resources. Any
synergies achieved should further enhance cash provided by operations and return on invested
capital of the combined company.

ITEM 3. |
|
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK. |
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to market risks related to changes in interest rates with respect to our Senior
Credit Facility. Payments under the Senior Credit Facility are indexed to a variable interest rate.
Based on borrowings outstanding under the Senior Credit Facility of $703.0 million and $70.5
million in outstanding letters of credit, as of May 5, 2011, for every one percent increase in the
average interest rate applicable to the Senior Credit Facility, our total annual interest expense would
increase by $7.0 million.
As of April 3, 2011, we had four interest rate swap agreements in the aggregate notional amount of
$100.0 million. These interest rate swaps, which have payment, expiration dates and call provisions
that mirror the terms of the 73/4% Senior Notes, effectively convert $100.0 million of the Notes into
variable rate obligations. Under these interest rate swaps, we receive a fixed interest rate
payment from the financial counterparties to the agreements equal to 73/4% per year calculated on the
notional $100.0 million amount, while we make a variable interest rate payment to the same
counterparties equal to the three-month LIBOR plus a fixed margin of between 4.16% and 4.29% also
calculated on the notional $100.0 million amount. For every one percent increase in the interest
rate applicable to our aggregate notional $100.0 million of swap agreements relative to the 73/4%
Senior Notes, our annual interest expense would increase by $1.0 million.
We have entered into certain interest rate swap arrangements for hedging purposes, fixing the
interest rate on our Australian non-recourse debt to 9.7%. The difference between the floating rate
and the swap rate on these instruments is recognized in interest expense within the respective
entity. Because the interest rates with respect to these instruments are fixed, a hypothetical 100
basis point change in the current interest rate would not have a material impact on our financial
condition or results of operations.
Additionally, we invest our cash in a variety of short-term financial instruments to provide a
return. These instruments generally consist of highly liquid investments with original maturities
at the date of purchase of three months or less. While these instruments are subject to interest
rate risk, a hypothetical 100 basis point increase or decrease in market interest rates would not
have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
We are also exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates
between the U.S. dollar, the Australian dollar, the Canadian dollar, the South African Rand and the
British Pound currency exchange rates. Based upon our foreign currency exchange rate exposure at
April 3, 2011, every 10 percent change in historical currency rates would have approximately a $6.5
million effect on our financial position and approximately a $0.4 million impact on our results of
operations during 2011.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. |
(a) |
|
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. |
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial
Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is
defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
referred to as the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this report. On the basis
of this review, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial
Officer, has concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure
controls and procedures were effective to give reasonable assurance that the information required
to be disclosed in our reports filed with the SEC, under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and to
ensure that the information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted under the
Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive
Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, in a manner that allows timely decisions regarding
required disclosure.
It should be noted that the effectiveness of our system of disclosure controls and procedures is
subject to certain limitations inherent in any system of disclosure controls and procedures,
including the exercise of judgment in designing, implementing and evaluating the
56
controls and
procedures, the assumptions used in identifying the likelihood of future events, and the inability
to eliminate misconduct completely. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that our disclosure
controls and procedures will detect all errors or fraud. As a result, by its nature, our system of
disclosure controls and procedures can provide only reasonable assurance regarding managements
control objectives.
On August 12, 2010, we acquired Cornell, at which time Cornell became our subsidiary. See Note 2 to
the condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report for further
details of the transaction. We are currently in the process of assessing and integrating Cornells
internal controls over financial reporting into our financial reporting systems. Managements
assessment of internal control over financial reporting at April 3, 2011, excludes the operations
of Cornell as allowed by SEC guidance related to internal controls of recently acquired entities.
Management will include the operations of Cornell in its assessment of internal control over
financial reporting within one year from the date of acquisition.
On February 10, 2011, we acquired BI Holding, at which time BI Holding and its subsidiaries became
our subsidiaries. See Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly
Report for further details of the transaction. We are currently in the process of assessing and
integrating BI Holdings internal controls over financial reporting into our financial reporting
systems. Managements assessment of internal control over financial reporting at April 3, 2011,
excludes the operations of BI Holding as allowed by SEC guidance related to internal controls of
recently acquired entities. Management will include the operations of BI Holding in its assessment
of internal control over financial reporting within one year from the date of acquisition.
(b) |
|
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. |
Our management is responsible to report any changes in our internal control over financial
reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during
the period to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Management believes that there
have not been any changes, other than those related to our assessment and integration of Cornell
and BI Holding as discussed above, in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term
is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the period to which this
report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our
internal control over financial reporting.
PART II OTHER INFORMATION

|
|
ITEM 1. |
|
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. |
In June 2004, we received notice of a third-party claim for property damage incurred during 2001
and 2002 at several detention facilities formerly operated by our Australian subsidiary. The claim
relates to property damage caused by detainees at the detention facilities. The notice was given by
the Australian governments insurance provider and did not specify the amount of damages being
sought. In August 2007, a lawsuit (Commonwealth of Australia v. Australasian Correctional Services
PTY, Limited No. SC 656) was filed against us in the Supreme Court of the Australian Capital
Territory seeking damages of up to approximately AUD 18 million or $18.7 million based on exchange
rates as of April 3, 2011, plus interest. We believe that we have several defenses to the
allegations underlying the litigation and the amounts sought and intend to vigorously defend our
rights with respect to this matter. We have established a reserve based on our estimate of the most
probable loss based on the facts and circumstances known to date and the advice of legal counsel in
connection with this matter. Although the outcome of this matter cannot be predicted with
certainty, based on information known to date and our preliminary review of the claim and related
reserve for loss, we believe that, if settled unfavorably, this matter could have a material
adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. We are uninsured
for any damages or costs that we may incur as a result of this claim, including the expenses of
defending the claim.
During the fourth fiscal quarter of 2009, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) completed its
examination of our U.S. federal income tax returns for the years 2002 through 2005. Following the
examination, the IRS notified us that it proposed to disallow a deduction that we realized during
the 2005 tax year. In December of 2010, we reached an agreement with the office of the IRS Appeals
on the amount of the deduction, subject to the review by the Joint Committee on Taxation. The
review was completed without change on April 18, 2011, subsequent to the end of the First Quarter.
As a result of the review, there was no change to our tax accrual related to this matter.
Our South Africa joint venture had been in discussions with the South African Revenue Service
(SARS) with respect to the deductibility of certain expenses for the tax periods 2002 through
2004. The joint venture operates the Kutama Sinthumule Correctional Centre and accepted inmates
from the South African Department of Correctional Services in 2002. During 2009, SARS notified us
that
57
it proposed to disallow these deductions. We appealed these proposed disallowed deductions
with SARS and in October 2010 received a favorable Tax Court ruling relative to these deductions.
On March 9, 2011 SARS filed a notice that it would appeal the lower courts ruling. We continue to
believe in the merits of our position and will defend our rights vigorously as the case proceeds to
the Court of Appeals. If resolved unfavorably, our maximum exposure would be $2.6 million.
GEO is a
participant in the IRS Compliance Assurance Process (CAP) for the 2011 fiscal year.
Under the IRS CAP principally transactions that meet certain materiality thresholds are reviewed
on a real-time basis shortly after their completion. Additionally, all transactions that are part
of certain IRS tier and similar initiatives are audited regardless of
their materiality. The program also
provides for the audit of transition years that have not previously been audited. The IRS will be
reviewing our 2009 and 2010 years as transition years.
During the First Quarter following its acquisition, BI received notice from the IRS that it will
audit its 2008 tax year. The audit is currently in progress.
The nature of our business exposes us to various types of claims or litigation against us,
including, but not limited to, civil rights claims relating to conditions of confinement and/or
mistreatment, sexual misconduct claims brought by prisoners or detainees, medical malpractice
claims, product liability claims, intellectual property infringement claims, claims relating to
employment matters (including, but not limited to, employment discrimination claims, union
grievances and wage and hour claims), property loss claims, environmental claims, automobile
liability claims, indemnification claims by our customers and other third parties, contractual
claims and claims for personal injury or other damages resulting from contact with our facilities,
programs, electronic monitoring products, personnel or prisoners, including damages arising from a
prisoners escape or from a disturbance or riot at a facility. Except as otherwise disclosed above,
we do not expect the outcome of any pending claims or legal proceedings to have a material adverse
effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
