PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
The Wackenhut Corporation was incorporated in Florida in 1958 as a successor
corporation to a partnership founded in 1954 by George R. Wackenhut and three
associates. The Wackenhut Corporation, together with its consolidated
subsidiaries (the corporation), engages in the business of providing security
and other support services to business, industrial and government clients. The
corporation's business is conducted from more than 275 domestic and foreign
offices and site locations.
A subsidiary of the corporation, Wackenhut Corrections Corporation (WCC)
provides facility management and construction services to detention and
correctional facilities. WCC operates in a different industry segment than
other divisions of the corporation.
The corporation had record revenues of $747.7 million for fiscal 1994, or an
increase of $83.5 million (13%). The increase in revenues over fiscal 1993 was
due principally to the Security Services Division, which reported an increase in
revenues of $37.6 million over fiscal 1993 and to Wackenhut Corrections
Corporation whose 1994 revenues exceeded 1993 revenues by $42.7 million.
Operating income was also at a record $15.3 million in 1994. Net income,
however, was $1.4 million, primarily due to a charge against earnings of $8.7
million ($5.4 million after income taxes) in the fourth quarter of 1994 to
write-down the carrying value of the corporation's headquarters building and an
extraordinary charge of $1.4 million ($887,000 after income taxes) for the early
retirement of senior debt.
SERVICES
The corporation is engaged in a variety of services, with security guard
services as the largest contributor to the corporation's revenues. Other
services provided by the corporation include, correctional food service,
integrated security programs, job corps facilities management, nuclear power
plant security and consulting services and investigative services. WCC
provides correctional and detention facilities management and construction
services to detention and correctional facilities.
SECURITY GUARD SERVICES
The corporation furnishes security officers (armed and unarmed)to protect its
clients' property against fire, theft, intrusion, vandalism, and other physical
harm. Specialized physical security services offered by the corporation include
executive protection, crash-fire-rescue services and fire protection services at
airports and governmental installations, pre-departure screening of passengers
and luggage at airport terminals and emergency and security services during
natural disasters and labor-management disputes. The corporation also provides
security consulting services to survey, analyze and minimize client security
problems and trains security officers and fire and crash-fire-rescue personnel
employed by its clients.The contracts of the corporation with private industry
for security guard services usually are for a term of one year with automatic
renewal from year to year unless terminated by either party. Most of these
contracts are subject to termination by either party on thirty days prior
notice. Billing rates are based on a specified rate per hour and generally are
subject to renegotiation or escalation if related costs increase because of
changes in mini-
mum wage laws or other events beyond the control of the corporation. Higher
hourly rates apply to guard services requested by the client and emergency
security services during labor-management disputes.
Security guard services are provided to governmental agencies under contracts
awarded pursuant to competitive bidding. Service fees are based on one of
several accepted methods: fixed price; specified rate per guard hour; or the
corporation's cost plus either a fixed fee, an award fee or an incentive fee.
All federal government contracts are subject to termination at the convenience
of the government.
CORRECTIONAL FOOD SERVICE
The corporation's food service division provides over 21 million meals annually
to over 46 jail and prison facilities in 14 states throughout the United States.
Food for regular, therapeutic and religious diets are prepared on-site using
conventional or cook-chill methods. Dietary support is provided to facility
medical departments by registered dietitians, in addition to safety, training
and quality assurance programs. Services are provided on a cost per meal basis.
Complete food service management, commissary, laundry and janitorial chemical
programs are also available to clients.
INTEGRATED SECURITY PROGRAMS
The corporation designs, engineers, and installs integrated security programs
utilizing both security officers and electronic equipment. These services
include planning a master security program for a particular facility, custom
designing the security system, procuring the requisite electronic equipment,
contract and construction management, installing the system, training the
security personnel, and post-installation review and evaluation of the security
program. Contracts for these integrated security services generally provide for
a fixed fee and are awarded pursuant to competitive bidding.
JOB CORPS FACILITIES MANAGEMENT
The corporation manages job corps facilities for the U. S. Department of Labor
through its subsidiary Wackenhut Educational Services, Inc., (WESI). These
services include facility support and management services, administration,
medical and food services, instructional programs, counseling, and vocational
training and job placement. Services are billed on a cost plus fixed fee
basis. WESI will discontinue operations of the McKinney Job Corps Center in the
first quarter of 1995 as a result of a mutual agreement with the Department of
Labor. WESI continues to operate two Job Corp Centers at Guthrie, Oklahoma and
Gainesville, Florida.
NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS
The corporation provides specialized security and management consulting services
for nuclear power generating facilities. These services include highly trained
and qualified security personnel, emergency planning, electronic detection
equipment and integrated security systems. The services are provided pursuant
to a variety of fee arrangements, depending on the particular service performed.
A major portion of these services are furnished to the private sector.
INVESTIGATIVE SERVICES The corporation complements physical security
services provided to its clients with investigative services. These services
include, but are not limited to, employee background screening and insurance
fraud investigations. The corporation maintains a National Research Center with
the latest information technology for public record searches and a "fraud-waste-
criminal" hot line for client employees to report work place abuses. Clients
ordinarily are charged an hourly rate for investigative services and a flat rate
for background records searches.
WACKENHUT CORRECTIONS CORPORATION
In July and September 1994, WCC, a formerly wholly-owned subsidiary of the
corporation, completed an initial public offering (IPO) in which it sold
2,185,000 shares of common stock at an offering price of $9 per share.
Following the completion of the IPO, the corporation owns approximately 73.3% of
the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of WCC.
WCC is a leading developer and manager of privatized correctional and detention
facilities in six different states, the United Kingdom and Australia. WCC
offers governmental agencies a comprehensive range of prison management services
from individual consulting projects to the integrated design, construction and
management of correctional and detention facilities. WCC also provides a wide
array of in-facility rehabilitative and educational programs, such as chemical
dependency counseling and treatment, basic education, and job and life skills
training. As of year end, WCC had contracts to manage 22 correctional and
detention facilities with an aggregate design capacity of 13,732 beds, including
the joint-venture in England. The services are provided pursuant to a variety
of fee arrangements, depending on the particular type of facility and services
performed.
WCC operates in a different industry segment than other divisions of the
corporation. For additional information concerning WCC reference is made to
information set forth in Note 2 to Consolidated Financial Statements on page 31
of the corporation's Annual Report to Shareholders, which is incorporated
herein by reference.
MARKETING
The corporation provides physical security and investigative services throughout
the United States and in numerous foreign countries under the trade name
"Wackenhut". During 1994, the corporation provided services to more than
14,000 clients. The largest client of the corporation was the U.S. Department
of Energy, which accounted for about 20% of the corporation's consolidated
revenue. The contracts at the Savannah River site (9%) and the Rocky Flats Plant
(5%) are the largest of the contracts with the U. S. Department of Energy.
COMPETITION
The corporation believes it is the third largest labor-intensive security and
protective service organization in the United States. Borg-Warner Security
Corporation, principally through three of its subsidiaries (Wells Fargo, Burns
International and Globe Security) combine to make the largest organization.
Pinkerton's, Inc. is the second largest. The corporation competes domestically
with these two organizations and numerous local and regional companies. The
corporation believes that its foreign operations are more extensive than those
of its principal domestic competitors, although there may be certain foreign
competitors that have more extensive foreign operations than does the
corporation.
Domestic competition in the security business is intense and is based primarily
on price in relation to quality of service, the scope of services performed, and
the extent of security officer training and supervision. The corporation
believes that it enjoys a favorable competitive position because of its emphasis
on professionalism and quality of service. The corporation's principal business
is labor intensive, and is affected substantially by the availability of
qualified personnel and the cost of labor. The corporation has not experienced
any material difficulty in employing sufficient numbers of suitable security
officers.
WCC competes with a number of companies domestically and internationally,
including, but not limited to, Corrections Corporation of America, United States
Corrections Corp., Group 4 International Corrections Service, Securicor Group
and others. Some of the international competitors are larger and have greater
resources than WCC. WCC also competes on a localized basis in some markets
with small companies and in other markets, with governmental agencies that are
responsible for correctional facilities.
NON-U.S. OPERATIONS
Although most of the operations of the corporation are within the United States,
its international operations make a significant contribution to income.
Non-U.S. operations of the corporation provide physical security and private
investigative services in Canada, Central America, South America, the Caribbean,
Asia, Europe and Africa, and correctional and detention facilities management in
Australia. The table below (in thousands) summarizes the consolidated revenue,
profit (before allocation of general and administrative expenses of the home
office of the corporation and before income taxes) and assets for the last three
fiscal years attributable to the corporation's foreign operations. The effect
of 100% ownership of Australasian Correctional Management PTY., Ltd. (ACM), a
formerly 50% owned joint venture of WCC, has been reflected beginning in 1994.
1994 1993 1992
----------------------------------
Revenues $ 111,026 $ 83,523 $ 73,982
Profit 5,285 4,436 3,747
Assets 48,893 26,557 22,929
The corporation has affiliates (50% or less owned) that operate security service
businesses in Europe, the Far East and Central and South America. In addition,
the corporation owns 50% of a joint venture for the management of a correctional
facility in the United Kingdom. The following table (in thousands) summarizes
certain financial information pertaining to these unconsolidated foreign
affiliates, on a combined basis, for the last three fiscal years.
1994 1993 1992
-----------------------------------
Revenues $ 97,676 $ 85,222 $ 58,645
Net income 1,749 3,899 1,365
Corporation's share of net income 435 1,644 580
Assets 31,737 25,516 19,817
EMPLOYEES
As of January 1, 1995, the corporation had more than 39,000 full-time employees
(excluding those of the affiliate companies noted above), most of whom were
security officers and other personnel providing physical security services. A
small percentage of the employees of the corporation are covered by collective
bargaining agreements. Relations with employees have been generally
satisfactory and the corporation has not experienced any significant work
stoppages attributable to labor disputes. Security officers and other personnel
supplied to its clients are employees of the corporation, even though stationed
regularly at a client's premises.
BUSINESS REGULATIONS AND LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS
The corporation is subject to a myriad of city, county, and state firearm and
occupational licensing laws that apply to security officers and private
investigators. In addition, many states have laws requiring training and
registration of security officers, regulating the use of badges and uniforms,
prescribing the use of identification cards or badges, and imposing minimum
bond, surety, or insurance standards. Many foreign countries have laws that
restrict the corporation's ability to render certain services, including laws
prohibiting security guard services or limiting foreign investment. Under the
law of negligence, the corporation can be vicariously liable for acts or
omissions of its agents or employees performed in the course of their
employment. In addition, some states have statutes that expressly impose on the
corporation legal responsibility for the conduct of its employees. The nature
of the services provided by the corporation (such as armed security officers and
fire rescue and protection) ostensibly expose it to greater risks of liability
for employee acts or omissions than are posed to other non-security service
businesses. The corporation maintains public liability insurance to mitigate
against this potential risk exposure, although the laws of many states limit or
prohibit insurance coverage of liability for punitive damages arising from
willful, wanton or grossly negligent conduct.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The corporation's executive offices are located in a 164,000 square foot office
building at 1500 San Remo Avenue, Coral Gables, Florida. The building is owned
by the corporation. The corporation utilizes approximately 54% of the building
and the majority of the remainder is leased to various non-affiliated parties.
On January 30, 1995, the corporation announced that it would take a special,
one-time charge in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1994, to provide for a loss
resulting from the write-down in the carrying value of its headquarters building
in Coral Gables, Florida. The charge is approximately $8.7 million ($5.4 million
or 56 cents per share after taxes). The write-down in the carrying value of the
headquarters building was due to management's decision to sell the
corporation's headquarters building in Coral Gables, Florida. It is anticipated
that the sale will generate approximately $15 million in cash and tax benefits.
The corporation owns a 66,000 square foot building in Aurora, Colorado, which is
operated as a detention center under a contract with the U.S. Government and a
15,000 square foot warehouse building in Miami, Florida. In addition, the
corporation owns three office buildings in Chile, two in Ecuador and one each in
the Dominican Republic, Costa Rica and Puerto Rico that are used for the
operations of its foreign subsidiaries in those countries. All other offices of
the corporation are in leased space. The aggregate annual rent for all
noncancelable operating leases of office space, automobiles, data processing and
other equipment is approximately $4,993,000. The corporation owns substantially
all uniforms, firearms, and accessories used by its security officers.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
During the first quarter of 1994, the corporation and its insurance carriers
settled a $6,000,000 judgment for $4,500,000. The corporation's insurance
carriers contributed funds for that settlement, but these carriers dispute
their legal obligation for the amounts paid. In the opinion of management,
after consultation with outside counsel, it is more likely than not that the
judgment will be covered by the corporation's insurance carriers ("International
Surplus Lines Insurance Company, Century Indemnity Company, Insurance Company
of North America and United National Insurance Company vs The Wackenhut
Corporation and Home Indemnity Company," Civil Action No. 93-10022K - United
States District Court, District of Massachusetts). In a second case, a former
employee has obtained a $1.8 million judgment against the corporation which
includes $1.7 million in punitive damages. The corporation is cautiously
optimistic that its appeal will at least result in the diminution of the
punitive damages awarded ("Cindy Boyle vs The Wackenhut Corporation," Appeal
from Cause No 92-S-0334-C - 130th Judicial District Court, Matagorda County,
Texas). Finally, in a case alleging tortious interference with contract
and other related torts, plaintiff claims multi-million dollar damages, which
the insurance carrier for the corporation has denied coverage ("Essex
Corporation vs Wackenhut Services, Inc.," Case No. 94-908 JC/DJS United States
District Court for the District of New Mexico). The corporation denies these
claims and intends to vigorously defend the action. While there can be no
absolute assurance that the reserves provided by the corporation are adequate,
management has made its best estimate of the potential exposure in these
matters.
The nature of the corporation's business results in claims or litigation
alleging that the corporation is liable for damages arising from the conduct of
its employees or others. In the opinion of management, there are no other
pending legal proceedings that would have a material effect on the consolidated
financial statements of the corporation.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the fourth
quarter of the fiscal year covered by this report.

On August 12, 1994, the corporation filed a current report on Form 8-K

Corporation, a subsidiary of the corporation. After the completion of

shares of common stock of the subsidiary. Financial statements and pro
forma financial information were not required since the transaction did
not meet materiality requirements.
On January 30, 1995, the corporation filed a current report on Form 8-K
to report that it will take a special, one-time charge in the fourth
quarter of fiscal 1994 to provide for a loss resulting from the

Gables, Florida. The loss resulting from the write-down of the
headquarters building carrying value of $8.7 million is due to
management's decision to sell the Corporation's headquarters building.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Shareholders of
The Wackenhut Corporation:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of The Wackenhut
Corporation (a Florida corporation) and subsidiaries as of January 1, 1995 and
January 2, 1994, and the related consolidated statements of income, cash flows
and shareholders' equity for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended
January 1, 1995. These financial statements and the schedule referred to below
are the responsibility of the Corporation's management. Our responsibility is
to express and opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of The Wackenhut Corporation and
subsidiaries as of January 1, 1995 and January 2, 1994, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three fiscal years in the period
ended January 1, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
Our audits were made for the purposes of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The schedule listed in the index of
financial statements is presented for purposes of complying with the Securities
and Exchange Commission's rules and is not part of the basic financial
statements. This schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in our audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion,
fairly states in all material respects the financial data required to be set
forth therein in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.
