NOTES TO CONDENSED COMBINED AND CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2000
1. ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS
Prison Realty Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation now known as Corrections
Corporation of America (the "Company" or "CCA"), was formed in September 1998 as
Prison Realty Corporation and commenced operations on January 1, 1999, following
the mergers of the former Corrections Corporation of America, a Tennessee
corporation ("Old CCA"), and CCA Prison Realty Trust, a Maryland real estate
investment trust ("Old Prison Realty"), with and into the Company (the "1999
Merger"). As more fully discussed in Note 17 herein, effective October 1, 2000,
the Company completed a series of previously announced restructuring
transactions (collectively, the "Restructuring"). As part of the Restructuring,
the Company's primary tenant, Corrections Corporation of America, a
privately-held Tennessee corporation formerly known as Correctional Management
Services Corporation ("Operating Company"), was merged with and into a wholly
owned subsidiary of the Company on October 1, 2000 (the "Operating Company
Merger"). In connection with the Restructuring and the Operating Company Merger,
the Company amended its Charter to, among other things, remove provisions
relating to the Company's operation and qualification as a real estate
investment trust, or REIT, for federal income tax purposes commencing with its
2000 taxable year and change its name to "Corrections Corporation of America".
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the "Form 10-Q") contains various financial
information related to the Company (formerly Prison Realty Trust, Inc.) and its
two service subsidiaries, Prison Management Services, Inc., a Tennessee
corporation ("PMSI"), and Juvenile and Jail Facility Management Services, Inc.,
a Tennessee corporation ("JJFMSI"). The accompanying combined financial
statements included on pages 3 - 9 present the consolidated financial statements
of the Company (formerly Prison Realty Trust, Inc.) as of and for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2000 combined with the financial statements of
PMSI and JJFMSI as of and for the one month ended September 30, 2000. The
accompanying consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 1999 and for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999 have not been combined with
the financial statements of PMSI and JJFMSI. Please refer to Note 4 on pages 15
- - 22 for a complete description of the combined financial statements and
combining financial statement schedules presenting the individual financial
statements of the Company (formerly Prison Realty Trust, Inc.), PMSI and JJFMSI
as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000.
This Form 10-Q also contains financial information related to Operating Company,
the privately held management company, as of and for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2000. Operating Company was merged with and into a wholly
owned subsidiary of the Company on October 1, 2000, subsequent to the end of the
third quarter 2000. As a result, the financial information of Operating Company
is not included in the accompanying financial statements

presented on pages 3 - 9. Please refer to Note 15 herein for summarized
financial data of Operating Company and "Operating Company Financial
Information" contained in the Company's Management's Discussion and Analysis on
pages 70 - 73 for more detailed financial information concerning Operating
Company.
OPERATIONS
Since the 1999 Merger and through September 30, 2000, the Company had
specialized in acquiring, developing and owning correctional and detention
facilities. Operating Company has been a private prison management company that
operated and managed the substantial majority of facilities owned by the
Company. As a result of the 1999 Merger and certain contractual relationships
existing between the Company and Operating Company, the Company has been
dependent on Operating Company for a significant source of its income. In
addition, the Company paid Operating Company for services rendered to the
Company in the development of its correctional and detention facilities. See the
information contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 1999, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "Commission") on March 30, 2000 (the "Company's Form 10-K"), and Note 15
herein for a description of the historical contractual relationships between the
Company and Operating Company. As a result of liquidity issues facing Operating
Company and the Company, the parties amended the contractual agreements between
the Company and Operating Company during 2000. For a more complete description
of these amendments, see Note 15 herein.
As required by its governing instruments, the Company operated and has elected
to be taxed as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, for federal income tax
purposes with respect to its taxable year ended December 31, 1999. In connection
with the completion of the Restructuring (as more fully discussed in Note 17
herein), on September 12, 2000, the Company's stockholders approved an amendment
to the Company's Charter to remove the requirements that the Company elect to be
taxed and qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes commencing with the
Company's 2000 taxable year. As such, the Company will operate and be taxed as a
subchapter C corporation with respect to its taxable year ended December 31,
2000 and thereafter. Refer to Note 12 herein for additional information
regarding the Company's existing contingent tax matters and refer to Notes 10
and 17 herein for additional information regarding the Company's change in tax
status as a result of the Restructuring.
As the result of the acquisition of Operating Company on October 1, 2000 and the
expected acquisition of PMSI and JJFMSI during the fourth quarter of 2000, the
Company now specializes in owning, operating and managing prisons and other
correctional facilities and providing prisoner transportation services for
governmental agencies. The Company will provide a full range of related services
to governmental agencies, including managing, designing and constructing new
facilities and redesigning and renovating older facilities.

2. FINANCIAL CONDITION OF THE COMPANY AND AMENDMENTS TO OPERATING COMPANY
LEASES AND OTHER AGREEMENTS
Financial Condition
The Company incurred a net loss for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2000 of $251.1 million and $351.0 million, respectively, and had a net
working capital deficiency of $1.2 billion at September 30, 2000. As a result of
the financial condition of the Company and Operating Company, certain existing
or potential events of default arose under the provisions of the Company's
indebtedness in January 2000. In addition, certain of the proposed Restructuring
transactions involving the Company were not permitted under the terms of the
Company's indebtedness. In June 2000, the Company obtained waivers of previously
existing events of default under, and amendments to, the provisions of its
Amended Bank Credit Facility, as hereinafter defined (the "June 2000 Waiver and
Amendment") and its convertible subordinated notes to permit the Restructuring
and the amendments to the Operating Company Leases and the other contractual
arrangements between the Company and Operating Company. At September 30, 2000,
the Company was not in compliance with certain applicable financial covenants
contained in the amended and restated credit agreement governing the Company's
Amended Bank Credit Facility (the "Amended and Restated Credit Agreement"),
including: (i) debt service coverage ratio; (ii) interest coverage ratio; (iii)
leverage ratio; and (iv) net worth. The Company is required to provide Lehman
Commercial Paper Inc., the administrative agent of the Amended Bank Credit
Facility ("Lehman"), a certificate on a quarterly basis demonstrating compliance
with the then-applicable financial covenants contained in the Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement within 45 calendar days after the close of each fiscal
quarter, subject to an applicable grace period of five calendar additional days.
As a result, if the financial covenants described above are not amended on or
before November 17, 2000, an event of default will arise under the terms of the
Amended Bank Credit Facility. As more fully described in Note 8 herein, the
Company has initiated the process of soliciting the approval and consent of the
requisite percentage of the senior lenders to amend the terms of the Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement to replace certain existing financial covenants
contained therein and to permit certain additional transactions by the Company
(the "Proposed Consent and Amendment"). There can be no assurance, however, that
the Proposed Consent and Amendment will be obtained on or before November 17,
2000 and that, as a result, the Company will not be in default under the terms
of the Amended Bank Credit Facility, its 12.0% senior notes or its convertible
subordinated notes. Refer to Note 8 for discussion of the in pact of a potential
event of default.
Prior to September 30, 2000, the Company's business was the ownership,
development and leasing of correctional and detention facilities to qualified
third parties and government agencies. As the lessor of correctional and
detention facilities, the Company has been dependent upon the ability of its
tenants to make lease payments to the Company. Operating Company has been the
lessee of a substantial majority of the Company's facilities. Prior to September
30, 2000, Operating Company leased 35 of the 44 correctional and detention
facilities owned by the Company. In addition, the Company owns two office
buildings, one leased to Operating Company and one leased to TransCor America,
LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Operating Company ("TransCor"). Therefore, the
Company has been dependent for a substantial portion of its revenues on
Operating Company's ability to make the lease payments required under its lease
arrangements with Operating Company (the "Operating Company Leases") for such
facilities.
Operating Company incurred a net loss of $77.5 million and $216.9 million for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000, respectively, and had a net
working capital deficiency and a net capital deficiency at September 30, 2000.
Due to Operating Company's liquidity position, Operating
12
14
Company was unable to make timely rental payments to the Company under the
original terms of the Operating Company Leases and had been required to defer
all scheduled payments of accrued interest on the $137.0 million promissory note
payable by Operating Company to the Company (the "Operating Company Note") as
more fully discussed in Note 15 herein.
The Company and Operating Company had previously amended the original terms of
the Operating Company Leases to defer, with interest, rental payments originally
due to the Company during the period from January 2000 to June 2000 until
September 30, 2000, with the exception of certain scheduled payments. Pursuant
to the terms of this amendment, Operating Company agreed to pay interest on such
deferred rental payments, at an annual rate equal to the current non-default
rate of interest applicable to Operating Company's revolving credit facility
(subject to adjustment if and to the extent that such rate of interest under
such existing revolving credit facility was adjusted) from the date such payment
would have been payable under the original terms of the Operating Company Leases
until the date such payment was actually paid. Operating Company's obligation to
make payments under the Operating Company Leases was not secured by any of the
assets of Operating Company, although the obligations under the Operating
Company Leases were cross-defaulted so that the Company could terminate all of
the Operating Company Leases if Operating Company failed to make required lease
payments.
On September 29, 2000, the Company and Operating Company entered into agreements
pursuant to which the Company forgave all unpaid amounts due and payable to the
Company through August 31, 2000, totaling approximately $226.1 million, related
to the Operating Company Leases, the interest due on the unpaid Operating
Company Leases balances and the interest accrued on the Operating Company Note.
See Note 15 herein for a more complete discussion of the agreement to forgive
these unpaid balances.
As of December 31, 1999, Operating Company was in default under the provisions
of its revolving credit facility, although such events of default were waived
subsequent to December 31, 1999. On September 15, 2000, Operating Company
replaced its revolving credit facility with a new revolving credit facility, as
further described in Note 15 herein, and was in compliance with the provisions
of its new revolving bank credit facility as of November 14, 2000.
As a result of Operating Company's financial and liquidity condition, the
independent public accountants of Operating Company indicated in their opinion
on Operating Company's 1999 consolidated financial statements that there is
substantial doubt about Operating Company's ability to continue as a going
concern. Matters such as continued operating losses by Operating Company,
declarations of events of default by the Company's and Operating Company's
creditors, the inability of Operating Company to make contractual payments to
the Company under the original terms of such agreements and the Company's
limited resources available to meet its operating, capital expenditure and debt
service requirements have had a material adverse impact on the Company's
combined and consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash
flows. The Company's independent public accountants indicated in their opinion
on the Company's 1999 consolidated financial statements that there is
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
13
15
continue as a going concern. The condensed combined and consolidated financial
statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of
asset carrying amounts or the amounts of liabilities that might result should
the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
In order to address certain of the liquidity issues facing both the Company and
Operating Company, effective October 1, 2000, the Company completed certain
elements of the Restructuring and the Operating Company Merger, as more fully
discussed in Note 17 herein. As a result of the Restructuring and the Operating
Company Merger on October 1, 2000, the existing Operating Company Leases were
cancelled. Although the Company has completed certain elements of the
Restructuring and completed the Operating Company Merger, thereby simplifying
the corporate structure and relationship between Operating Company and the
Company, the Company has limited resources currently available to it to meet its
operating, capital and debt service requirements. As a result, the Company
currently is, and will continue to be, dependent on its ability to borrow funds
under the terms of its Amended Bank Credit Facility, as hereinafter defined, to
meet these requirements. Subject to the obtainment of the Proposed Consent and
Amendment, the Company believes that it will have sufficient resources to meet
its operating, capital and debt service requirements. There is no assurance,
however, that the Company will obtain the Proposed Consent and Amendment.
Management is currently developing a plan to improve operating profits as well
as address the overall financial condition of the Company including, but not
limited to: (i) the potential refinancing of all or a portion of the Company's
borrowings; (ii) capital raising transactions; (iii) renegotiating the operating
management contracts with customers of Operating Company, PMSI, and JJFMSI; (iv)
cost containment strategies; (iv) potential asset divestitures; and (v) refining
the Company's financial projections. The implementation of this plan could
result in significant cash and noncash charges to the Company's statement of
operations in future periods including, but not limited to: losses on
disposition of assets, asset impairment charges, write-off of unamortized debt
issuance costs, costs incurred in the issuance of debt or equity, employee
severance costs, and professional fees.
AMENDMENTS TO OPERATING COMPANY LEASES AND OTHER AGREEMENTS
In an effort to address the liquidity needs of Operating Company prior to the
completion of the Restructuring, and as permitted by the terms of the June 2000
Waiver and Amendment to the Company's Amended Bank Credit Facility, the Company
and Operating Company amended the terms of the Operating Company Leases in June
2000. As a result of this amendment, lease payments under the Operating Company
Leases were due and payable on June 30 and December 31 of each year, instead of
monthly. In addition, the Company and Operating Company agreed to defer, with
interest, and with the exception of certain scheduled payments, the first
semi-annual rental payment under the revised terms of the Operating Company
Leases, due June 30, 2000, until September 30, 2000.
14
16
As of September 29, 2000, the Company forgave all unpaid amounts due and payable
to the Company through August 31, 2000 related to the Operating Company Lease,
including unpaid interest, as further described in Note 15 herein.
In connection with the amendments to the Operating Company Leases deferring a
substantial portion of the rental payments due to the Company thereunder, the
terms of the June 2000 Waiver and Amendment to the Company's Amended Bank Credit
Facility conditioned the effectiveness of the June 2000 Waiver and Amendment
upon the deferral of the Company's payment of fees to Operating Company which
would otherwise be payable pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated
Tenant Incentive Agreement, the Business Development Agreement and the Amended
and Restated Services Agreement, each as hereinafter defined. The Company and
Operating Company deferred, with interest, the payment of such amounts. The
terms of Operating Company's revolving credit facility, as amended pursuant to
the terms of a waiver obtained from the lenders under the revolving credit
facility, permitted the deferral of these payments. In connection with the
Operating Company Merger, the Operating Company Leases, Amended and Restated
Tenant Incentive Agreement, the Business Development Agreement and the Amended
and Restated Services Agreement were cancelled, as more fully described in Notes
15 and 17 herein.
During 2000, the Company has recognized rental income, net of reserves, from
Operating Company based on the actual cash payments received. In addition, the
Company has continued to record its obligations to Operating Company under the
various agreements discussed above.
See Note 17 regarding the Restructuring of the Company as part of management's
ongoing efforts to address its current liquidity and capital constraints.
3. 1999 MERGER TRANSACTIONS
For a complete description of the 1999 Merger transactions, please see the
information contained in the Company's Form 10-K.
4. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The condensed combined and consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of the Company on a consolidated basis with its wholly owned
subsidiaries as of and for each period presented. The condensed combined and
consolidated financial statements also include the accounts of PMSI and JJFMSI
as of September 30, 2000 and for the month ended September 30, 2000 on a
combined basis.
The Company holds equity investments in PMSI and JJFMSI which entitle the
Company to 95% of each of PMSI's and JJFMSI's economic interests. Prior to
September 1, 2000, the Company has accounted for its investments in PMSI and
JJFMSI under the equity method due to the nonconsolidation rules governing the
financial reporting of REITs.
During the month of September 2000, wholly owned subsidiaries of PMSI and JJFMSI
entered into separate transactions with each of PMSI's and JJFMSI's respective
non-management, outside shareholders to reacquire all of the
15
17
outstanding voting stock of those non-management, outside shareholders,
representing 85% of the outstanding voting stock of each entity for cash
payments.
Due to the repurchase by the wholly owned subsidiaries PMSI and JJFMSI of the
non-management, outside shareholders' equity interests, the Company is required
to include the financial position and results of operations of each of PMSI and
JJFMSI in the Company's financial statements on a combined basis as of a date no
later than the date the equity interests of the non-management, outside
shareholders were reacquired. The accompanying condensed combined and
consolidated financial statements reflect the combined results of operations of
PMSI and JJFMSI beginning September 1, 2000. The resulting increase in the
Company's assets and liabilities as of September 1, 2000 as a result of
combining the balance sheets of PMSI and JJFMSI has been treated as a non-cash
transaction in the accompanying combined statement of cash flows for the nine
months ended September 30, 2000, with the September 1, 2000 cash balances of
PMSI and JJFMSI included in cash and cash equivalents, beginning of period.
Consistent with the Company's previous financial statement presentations, the
Company has presented its economic interests in each of PMSI and JJFMSI under
the equity method for all periods prior to September 1, 2000. All material
intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in combining the
consolidated financial statements of the Company and its wholly owned
subsidiaries with the respective financial statements of PMSI and JJFMSI.
Although the Company's consolidated financial position and results of operations
presented in the accompanying financial statements are presented on a combined
basis with the financial positions and results of operations of PMSI and JJFMSI,
the Company does not control the assets and liabilities of either PMSI or
JJFMSI. Additionally, the Company is only entitled to receive dividends on its
non-voting common stock upon declaration by the respective boards of directors
of PMSI and JJFMSI. As such, the following financial information presents the
Company's, PMSI's and JJFMSI's individual balance sheets as of September 30,
2000 on a combining basis and the Company's individual statements of operations
and cash flows for the three months ending September 30, 2000 and PMSI's and
JJFMSI's individual statements of operations and cash flows for the one month
ending September 30, 2000 on a combining basis.

6. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
At September 30, 2000, the Company owned 44 correctional and detention
facilities with an aggregate cost of $2.2 billion. At September 30, 2000,
Operating Company leased 35 correctional and detention facilities from the
Company, governmental agencies leased six facilities from the Company, and
private operators leased three facilities from the Company. At September 30,
2000, the Company also owned two corporate office buildings, one of which was
leased to Operating Company and one of which was leased to TransCor. All
existing Operating Company Leases were cancelled as a result of the
Restructuring. See Note 17 herein for a discussion of the Restructuring.
Eleven of the facilities owned by the Company are subject to options that allow
various governmental agencies to purchase or otherwise assume the ownership of
these facilities. In addition, three of the facilities are constructed on land
that the Company leases from governmental agencies under ground leases. Under
the terms of those ground leases, the facilities become the property of the
governmental agencies upon expiration of the ground leases. The Company
depreciates these three properties over the term of the ground lease.
Included in Property and Equipment are approximately 268 acres of land in
California and approximately 83 acres in Maryland and the District of Columbia.
During the third quarter of 2000, the Company's management determined either not
to pursue further development or to reconsider the use of the land. As such, the
Company has reduced the carrying values of the land to their approximate net
realizable value ($1.5 million as of September 30, 2000), resulting in a charge
of $19.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000.
During January 2000, the Company completed construction, at a cost of
approximately $89.4 million, of an 800-bed medium-security prison in Salford,
England and entered into a 25-year lease with Agecroft Prison Management, Inc.,
a Tennessee corporation ("APM"). The Company is accounting for the lease as a
direct financing lease. APM, a joint venture owned 50% by JJFMSI and 50% by
Sodexho Alliance, S.A. ("Sodexho"), is managing the operation of the prison for
the U.K. government.
In connection with the Company's Salford, England facility, the Company has a
direct financing lease, a note receivable and certain other short-term
receivables denominated in British pounds. Transaction gains and losses that
arise from exchange rate fluctuations on these assets are included in the
results of operations as incurred. As a result, the Company recognized realized
foreign currency transaction losses of $0.2 million and $0.3 million and
unrealized foreign currency transaction losses of $2.0 million and $9.4 million
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000, respectively.
See Note 2 herein for a discussion of management's plans which could affect the
carrying values of property and equipment.

7. OTHER ACCRUED EXPENSES
As of September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, other accrued expenses consists
of the following (in thousands):

--------- ---------
Total other accrued expenses $ 128,613 $ 15,855
========= =========
As discussed more fully in Note 12 herein, the Company has entered into
definitive settlement agreements regarding the settlement of all outstanding
stockholder litigation against the Company and certain of its existing and
former directors and executive officers. The definitive settlement agreements
provide that the Company will pay or issue the plaintiffs an aggregate of: (i)
approximately $47.5 million in cash payable solely from the proceeds under
certain insurance policies; and (ii) approximately $75.4 million in shares of
the Company's common stock. As of September 30, 2000, the Company has accrued
$75.4 million associated with the future common stock issuance under the
stockholder litigation settlement.
On April 16, 2000, the Company terminated previously existing agreements with a
group of investors led by the Fortress/Blackstone investment group
("Fortress/Blackstone") regarding a series of previously announced restructuring
transactions in favor of a restructuring led by Pacific Life Insurance Company
("Pacific Life"). Subsequently, on June 30, 2000, the Company terminated its
agreements with Pacific Life. In connection with the proposed restructuring
transactions with Fortress/Blackstone and Pacific Life and the completion of the
Restructuring, including the Operating Company Merger, the Company terminated
the services of one of its financial advisors during the third quarter of 2000.
Under the terms of the Company's agreement with the financial advisor, the
Company may be required to pay such advisor $5.0 million as a fee for investment
advisory services. The Company is currently reviewing its obligations under such
agreement. As a result of the termination of the Fortress/Blackstone led
restructuring, under the terms of the securities purchase agreement with
Fortress/Blackstone, the Company may be obligated to pay Fortress/Blackstone a
$15.7 million commitment fee and a $7.5 million break-up fee. In connection with
the termination of both the Fortress/Blackstone led restructuring and the
Pacific Life led restructuring, the Company may be obligated to reimburse these
parties for certain expenses incurred by them. As of September 30, 2000, the
Company has accrued approximately $29.0 million in strategic investor fees in
connection with the termination of the Fortress/Blackstone, Pacific Life, and
financial advisor restructuring transaction agreements.

8. DEBT
THE CREDIT FACILITY AND AMENDED CREDIT FACILITY
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
On January 1, 1999, in connection with the completion of the 1999 Merger, the
Company obtained a $650.0 million secured bank credit facility from NationsBank,
N.A., as administrative agent, and several U.S. and non-U.S. banks. The bank
credit facility included up to a maximum of $250.0 million in tranche B term
loans and $400.0 million in revolving loans, including a $150.0 million
subfacility for letters of credit. The term loan required quarterly principal
payments of $0.6 million throughout the term of the loan, with the remaining
balance maturing on January 1, 2003. The revolving loans were to mature on
January 1, 2002. Interest rates, unused commitment fees and letter of credit
fees on the bank credit facility were subject to change based on the Company's
senior debt rating. The bank credit facility was secured by mortgages on the
Company's real property.
On August 4, 1999, the Company completed an amendment and restatement of the
bank credit facility (the "Amended Bank Credit Facility") increasing amounts
available to the Company under the original bank credit facility to $1.0 billion
through the addition of a $350.0 million tranche C term loan. The tranche C term
loan is payable in equal quarterly installments in the amount of $0.9 million
through the calendar quarter ending September 30, 2002, with the balance to be
paid in full on December 31, 2002. The maturity of the term loan under the
original bank credit facility was changed to December 31, 2002, with the
maturity of the revolving loan under the bank credit facility remaining January
1, 2002. Lehman replaced NationsBank, N.A. as administrative agent of the
Amended Bank Credit Facility.
The Amended Bank Credit Facility, similar to the original bank credit facility,
provided for interest rates, unused commitment fees and letter of credit fees to
change based on the Company's senior debt rating. Similar to the terms of the
original bank credit facility, the Amended Bank Credit Facility (prior to the
execution of the June 2000 Waiver and Amendment) was to bear interest at
variable rates of interest based on a spread over the base rate or LIBOR (as
elected by the Company), which spread is determined by reference to the
Company's credit rating. Prior to the June 2000 Waiver and Amendment, the spread
ranged from 0.5% to 2.25% for base rate loans and from 2.0% to 3.75% for LIBOR
rate loans. These ranges replaced the original spread ranges of 0.25% to 1.25%
for base rate loans and 1.375% to 2.75% for LIBOR rate loans. Prior to the June
2000 Waiver and Amendment, the term loan portions of the Amended Bank Credit
Facility were to bear interest at a variable rate equal to 3.75% to 4.0% in
excess of LIBOR, or 2.25% to 2.5% in excess of a base rate. This rate replaced
the variable rate equal to 3.25% in excess of LIBOR, or 1.75% in excess of a
base rate, in the original bank credit facility.
The rating on the Company's bank indebtedness was lowered from Ba3 to Ba1 during
the first quarter of 2000. The rating on the Company's senior unsecured
indebtedness was lowered from B1 to B2, and the rating on the Company's 8.0%
Series A Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the "Series A Preferred
Stock"), was lowered from Ba3 to B3. As a result, the interest rate applicable
to outstanding amounts under the Amended Bank Credit Facility was increased by
0.5%. The rating on the Company's
25
27
indebtedness was also lowered during the second quarter of 2000, although no
interest rate increase was attributable to the rating adjustment. Upon the
lenders' determination that the Company is in default under the terms of the
Amended Bank Credit Facility, the Company is required to pay a default rate of
interest equal to the rate of interest as determined based on the terms
described above, plus 2.0%. As discussed below, prior to the execution of the
June 2000 Waiver and Amendment to the Amended Bank Credit Facility, the Company
was in default under the Amended Bank Credit Facility and, consequently, was
subject to the default rate of interest, effective from January 25, 2000 until
June 9, 2000. As a result of the execution of the June 2000 Waiver and
Amendment, however, the Company has not been in default under the Amended Bank
Credit Facility and has not been obligated to continue to pay the applicable
default rate of interest with respect to outstanding amounts under the Amended
Bank Credit Facility.
The Company incurred costs of $59.2 million during 1999 in consummating the
original bank credit facility and the Amended Bank Credit Facility transactions,
including $41.2 million related to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.
The Company wrote off $9.0 million of unamortized costs as interest expense
related to the original bank credit facility upon completion of the Amended and
Restated Bank Credit Facility in 1999. The Company also incurred and capitalized
costs of approximately $9.0 million in consummating the June 2000 Waiver and
Amendment described below.
In accordance with the terms of the Amended Bank Credit Facility, the Company
entered into certain swap arrangements guaranteeing that it will not pay an
index rate greater than 6.51% on outstanding balances of at least (a) $325.0
million through December 31, 2001 and (b) $200.0 million through December 31,
2002.
The Amended Bank Credit Facility, similar to the terms of the original bank
credit facility, is secured by mortgages on the Company's real property.
Borrowings are limited based on a borrowing base formula that considers, among
other things, eligible real estate. Prior to execution of the June 2000 Waiver
and Amendment, the Amended Bank Credit Facility contained certain financial
covenants, primarily: (a) maintenance of leverage, interest coverage, debt
service coverage and total indebtedness ratios; and (b) restrictions on the
incurrence of additional indebtedness.
The Amended Bank Credit Facility also restricted the Company's ability to pay
any cash dividends in connection with its qualification as a REIT. As a result,
the Company distributed shares of its Series B Preferred Stock as described in
Note 11 herein in connection with the satisfaction of its remaining REIT
distribution requirements for its 1999 taxable year.
JUNE 2000 WAIVER AND AMENDMENT
Following the approval of the requisite senior lenders under the Amended Bank
Credit Facility, the Company, certain of its wholly owned subsidiaries, various
lenders and Lehman, as administrative agent, executed the June 2000 Waiver and
Amendment, dated as of June 9, 2000, to the provisions of the Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement. Upon effectiveness, the June 2000 Waiver and
Amendment waived or addressed all then existing events of default under the
provisions of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement that resulted from: (i)
the financial condition of the Company and Operating Company;
26
28
(ii) the transactions undertaken by the Company and Operating Company in an
attempt to resolve the liquidity issues of the Company and Operating Company;
and (iii) previously announced restructuring transactions. The June 2000 Waiver
and Amendment also contained certain amendments to the Amended and Restated
Credit Agreement, including the replacement of existing financial ratios
contained in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement applicable to the Company
with new financial ratios following completion of the Restructuring. As a result
of the June 2000 Waiver and Amendment, the Company began monthly payments of
amounts due for interest beginning July 2000.
In obtaining the June 2000 Waiver and Amendment, the Company agreed to complete
certain transactions which were incorporated as covenants in the June 2000
Waiver and Amendment. Pursuant to these requirements, the Company completed the
Restructuring, including the Operating Company Merger, the amendment of its
Charter to remove the requirements that it elect to be taxed as a REIT
commencing with its 2000 taxable year, the restructuring of management and the
distribution of shares of its Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock,
$0.01 par value per share (the "Series B Preferred Stock"), as described in
Notes 17 and 11, respectively, herein. The June 2000 Waiver and Amendment also
amended the terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement to permit (i) the
amendment of the Operating Company Leases and the other contractual arrangements
between the Company and Operating Company, and (ii) the merger of each of PMSI
and JJFMSI with the Company, upon terms and conditions specified in the June
2000 Waiver and Amendment. The Company has amended the Operating Company Leases
as allowed for under the 2000 Waiver and Amendment but has not yet merged each
of PMSI and JJFMSI with the Company.
The June 2000 Waiver and Amendment prohibited: (i) the Company from settling its
then outstanding stockholder litigation for cash amounts not otherwise fully
covered by the Company's existing directors' and officers' liability insurance
policies; (ii) the declaration and payment of dividends with respect to the
Company's currently outstanding Series A Preferred Stock prior to the receipt of
net cash proceeds of at least $100.0 million from the issuance of additional
shares of common or preferred stock; and (iii) Operating Company from amending
or refinancing its revolving credit facility on terms and conditions less
favorable than Operating Company's then existing revolving credit facility.
As the result of the June 2000 Waiver and Amendment, the Company is generally
required to use the net cash proceeds received by the Company from certain
transactions, including the following transactions, to repay outstanding
indebtedness under the Amended Bank Credit Facility: (i) any disposition of real
estate assets; (ii) the securitization of lease payments with respect to the
Company's Salford, England facility; and (iii) the sale-leaseback of the
Company's headquarters. Under the terms of the June 2000 Waiver and Amendment,
the Company is also required to apply a designated portion of its "excess cash
flow," as such term is defined in the June 2000 Waiver and Amendment, to the
prepayment of outstanding indebtedness under the Amended Bank Credit Facility.
As a result of the June 2000 Waiver and Amendment, the interest rate applicable
to outstanding borrowings under the Amended Bank Credit Facility was increased
by 0.5%.
27
29
In connection with the June 2000 Waiver and Amendment, the Company borrowed
$25.0 million at the time of the execution of the June 2000 Waiver and Amendment
and an additional $25.0 million subsequently.
As of November 14, 2000, the Company was in compliance with the above provisions
of the June 2000 Waiver and Amendment, although certain potential events of
default existed as described below.
POTENTIAL EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND PROPOSED CONSENT AND AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY'S
AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT
On September 30, 2000, the Company was not in compliance with the following
applicable financial covenants contained in the Company's Amended and Restated
Credit Agreement: (i) debt service coverage ratio; (ii) interest coverage ratio;
(iii) leverage ratio; and (iv) net worth. The Company is required to provide to
Lehman a certificate demonstrating compliance with the then-applicable financial
covenants contained in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement within 45 days
after the close of each fiscal quarter, subject to an applicable grace period of
five additional days. As a result, if the financial covenants described above
are not amended on or before November 17, 2000, an event of default will arise
under the terms of the Amended Bank Credit Facility.
In addition, effective September 29, 2000, Operating Company and each of PMSI
and JJFMSI amended the terms of the Administrative Services Agreements by and
between the Company and each of PMSI and JJFMSI to: (i) increase, as of January
1, 2000, the administrative services fee paid by each of PMSI and JJFMSI to
Operating Company and its successor as a result of the Operating Company Merger
from $260,000 per month to $450,000 per month, and (ii) to include, as of
January 1, 2000, a monthly payment to Operating Company and its successor from
PMSI and JJFMSI for the use of the name "Corrections Corporation of America" in
an amount equal to 2.0% of the monthly management revenues of PMSI and JJFMSI
(the "Administrative Services Amendments"). Effective September 29, 2000, each
of PMSI and JJFMSI have agreed to pay the Company $6.0 million in exchange for a
full indemnity by the Company for any and all liabilities incurred by PMSI or
JJFMSI in connection with the settlement or disposition of certain litigation
known as Prison Acquisition Company, LLC v. Prison Realty Trust, Inc., et al.
(the "Indemnification Agreements"). These agreements could potentially result in
an event of default under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. However, it
is anticipated that if the Proposed Consent and Amendment is obtained, these
agreements will not result in the declaration of an event of default by the
lenders under the Amended Bank Credit Facility.
The Company, through Lehman, has initiated the process of soliciting the consent
of the requisite percentage of the senior lenders to the Proposed Consent and
Amendment. The Proposed Consent and Amendment, if effected, would replace the
previously existing financial covenants contained in the Amended and Restated
Credit Agreement with the following financial covenants, each as defined in the
Proposed Consent and Amendment: (i) total leverage ratio; (ii) post merger
interest coverage ratio; (iii) fixed charge coverage ratio; (iv) ratio of total
indebtedness to total capitalization; (v) minimum post merger EBIDTA; and (vi)
total beds occupied ratio.
28
30
In addition, the Proposed Consent and Amendment would consent to the execution
of the Administrative Services Amendments and the execution of the
Indemnification Agreements. The Proposed Consent and Amendment would also amend
the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement to permit the mergers of each of PMSI
and JJFMSI with and into the wholly owned subsidiary of the Company into which
Operating Company was previously merged.
The Proposed Consent and Amendment further provides that the Company will be
required to use commercially reasonable efforts to complete a "capital raising
event" on or before June 30, 2001. A "capital raising event" is defined in the
Proposed Consent and Amendment as any combination of the following transactions,
which together would result in net cash proceeds to the Company of $100.0
million: (i) an offering of the Company's common stock through the distribution
of rights to the Company's existing stockholders; (ii) any other offering of the
Company's common stock or certain types of the Company's preferred stock; (iii)
issuances by the Company of unsecured, subordinated indebtedness providing for
in-kind payments of principal and interest until repayment of the Amended Credit
Facility; (iv) certain types of asset sales by the Company, including the
sale-leaseback of the Company's headquarters. The Proposed Consent and Amendment
also contains limitations upon the use of proceeds obtained from the completion
of such "capital raising events". The requirements relating to"capital raising
events" contained in the Proposed Consent and Amendment would replace the
requirement currently contained in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
that the Company use commercially reasonably efforts to consummate a rights
offering on or before December 31, 2000.
The maturities of the loans under the Amended Bank Credit Facility, as well as
the interest applicable to such loans, would remain unchanged as a result of the
Proposed Consent and Amendment. In consideration of the Proposed Consent and
Amendment, the Company will be required to pay to the lenders under the Amended
Bank Credit Facility a fee of $500,000.
The Company has limited resources currently available to it to meet its
operating, capital expenditure and debt service requirements. If an event of
default arises under the terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement as a
result of the Company's failure to obtain the Proposed Consent and Amendment, or
as a result of the acceleration of the Company's other indebtedness, the senior
lenders under the Amended Bank Credit Facility are entitled, at their
discretion, to exercise certain remedies, including acceleration of the
Company's outstanding borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement. There can also be no assurance that the lenders under the Amended
Bank Credit Facility will consent to the Proposed Consent and Amendment or will
not seek to declare an event of default if the Proposed Consent and Amendment is
not executed prior to November 17, 2000.
In addition, the Company's 12.0% senior notes, the Company's $40.0 million
convertible subordinated notes and the Company's $30.0 million convertible
subordinated notes contain provisions which generally allow the holders of these
notes to accelerate this debt and seek remedies if the Company has a payment
default under the Amended Bank Credit Facility or if the obligations under the
Amended Bank Credit Facility are subject to acceleration or have been
accelerated. If the Company were to be in default under the Amended Bank Credit
Facility, and if the senior lenders under the Amended Bank Credit Facility
elected to exercise their rights to accelerate the Company's obligations under
the Amended Bank Credit Facility,
29
31
such events could result in the acceleration of all or a portion of the
outstanding principal amount of the Company's 12.0% senior notes or the
Company's convertible subordinated notes, which would have a material adverse
effect on the Company's liquidity and financial position. The Company does not
have sufficient working capital to satisfy its debt obligations in the event of
an acceleration of all of the Company's outstanding indebtedness.
As of November 14, 2000, the Company has made all required principal and
interest payments under the Amended Bank Credit Facility.
12.0% SENIOR NOTES
On June 11, 1999, the Company completed its offering of $100.0 million aggregate
principal amount of 12.0% senior notes, due 2006. Interest on the 12.0% senior
notes is paid semi-annually in arrears, and the 12.0% senior notes have a
seven-year non-callable term due June 1, 2006. Net proceeds from the offering
were approximately $95.0 million, after deducting expenses payable by the
Company in connection with the offering. The Company used the net proceeds from
the sale of the 12.0% senior notes for general corporate purposes and to repay
revolving bank borrowings under its bank credit facility.
The Company believes that it currently is not in default under the terms of the
indenture governing its $100.0 million 12.0% senior notes. The terms of the
indenture governing the 12.0% senior notes generally restrict amendments to the
terms of the Operating Company Leases, the Amended and Restated Tenant Incentive
Agreement, the Business Development Agreement, the Amended and Restated Services
Agreement and the Trade Name Use Agreement without the delivery of an opinion as
to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to the Company of such
amendments, issued by an accounting, appraisal, consulting or investment banking
firm of national standing, to the trustee under the indenture governing the
12.0% senior notes. In connection with the amendments to certain of these
agreements on June 9, 2000, the Company delivered to the trustee under the
indenture a fairness opinion meeting the requirements of the indenture. The
Company has been advised that in connection with the cancellation of the
Operating Company Leases, the Amended and Restated Tenant Incentive Agreement,
the Business Development Agreement, the Amended and Restated Services Agreement
and the Trade Name Use Agreement in the Operating Company Merger and the
forgiveness of amounts due the Company from Operating Company under the terms of
the Operating Company Leases and the Operating Company Note in September 2000,
the Company may be required to obtain an opinion as to the fairness, from a
financial point of view, to the Company of such transactions under the terms of
the indenture. As a result, the Company is in the process of obtaining an
opinion as to the fairness of such transactions. There can be no assurance,
however, that such an opinion will be obtained and that, as a result, if such
opinion is required under the terms of the indenture, an event of default will
not occur under the terms of the 12.0% senior notes.
Upon the occurrence of an event of default under the terms of the 12.0% senior
notes, the holders of the notes will have the right to accelerate the
outstanding principal amount of such notes. Such a default under the terms of
the 12.0% senior notes will also result in a default under the terms of the
Company's $30.0 million convertible subordinated notes in the event the holders
of the 12.0% senior notes accelerate
30
32
the outstanding principal amount of the notes. A default under the terms of the
12.0% senior notes will also result in a default under the terms of the Amended
Bank Credit Facility and the Company's $40.0 million convertible subordinated
notes, regardless of whether or not the holders of the 12.0% senior notes
accelerate the outstanding principal amount thereunder.
The indenture governing the 12.0% senior notes provides that it shall be an
event of default under the notes if the Company has a payment default under the
Amended Bank Credit Facility or if the Company's obligations under the Amended
Bank Credit Facility have been accelerated. However, the amounts outstanding
under the 12.0% senior notes are effectively subordinated to the Company's
obligations under the Amended Bank Credit Facility to the extent of the value of
the assets securing the Amended Bank Credit Facility. In the event of
acceleration of outstanding principal amounts under both the 12.0% senior notes
and the Amended Bank Credit Facility, the lenders under the Amended Bank Credit
Facility will be entitled to proceed against the collateral that secures the
Company's obligations under the Amended Bank Credit Facility, and such
collateral will not be available to satisfy any amounts owed under the 12.0%
senior notes.
$40.0 MILLION CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED NOTES
On January 29, 1999, the Company issued $20.0 million of convertible
subordinated notes due in December 2008, with interest payable semi-annually at
9.5%, to MDP Ventures IV and affiliated purchasers. This issuance constituted
the second tranche of a commitment by the Company to issue an aggregate of $40.0
million of convertible subordinated notes, with the first $20.0 million tranche
issued in December 1998 under substantially similar terms. Certain existing or
potential events of default arose under the provisions of the note purchase
agreement relating to the $40.0 million convertible subordinated notes as a
result of the Company's financial condition and a "change of control" arising
from the Company's execution of certain securities purchase agreements with
respect to the previously announced restructuring transactions, as described.
This "change of control" gave rise to the right of the holders of such notes to
require the Company to repurchase the notes at a price of 105% of the aggregate
principal amount of such notes within 45 days after the provision of written
notice by such holders to the Company. In addition, the Company's defaults under
the provisions of the note purchase agreement gave rise to the right of the
holders of such notes to require the Company to pay an applicable default rate
of interest of 20.0%. In addition to the default rate of interest, as a result
of the events of default the Company was obligated, under the original terms of
the $40.0 million convertible subordinated notes, to pay the holders of the
notes contingent interest sufficient to permit the holders to receive a 15.0%
rate of return, excluding the effect of the default rate of interest, on the
$40.0 million principal amount, unless the holders of the notes elect to convert
the notes into the Company's common stock under the terms of the note purchase
agreement. Such contingent interest is retroactive to the date of issuance of
the notes.
In order to address the events of default discussed above, on June 30, 2000, the
Company and the holders of the notes executed a waiver and amendment to the
provisions of the note purchase agreement governing the notes. This waiver and
amendment provided for a waiver of all existing events of default under the
provisions of the note purchase agreement. In addition, the waiver and amendment
to the note purchase agreement amended the economic terms of the notes to
increase the applicable interest rate of
31
33
the notes by 0.5% per annum and adjusted the conversion price of the notes to a
price equal to 125% of the average high and low sales price of the Company's
common stock on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") for a period of 20
trading days immediately following the earlier of (i) October 31, 2000 and (ii)
the closing date of the Operating Company Merger. In addition, the waiver and
amendment to the note purchase agreement provided for the replacement of
financial ratios applicable to the Company. The conversion price for the notes
has been established at $1.19, subject to adjustment in the future upon the
occurrence of certain events, including the payment of dividends and the
issuance of stock at below market prices by the Company. Under the terms of the
waiver and amendment, the distribution of the Company's Series B Preferred
Stock, as described in Note 11 herein, will not cause an adjustment to the
conversion price of the notes. However, the distribution of shares of the
Company's common stock in connection with the settlement of all outstanding
stockholder litigation against the Company, as described in Note 12 herein, will
cause an adjustment to the conversion price of the notes in an amount to be
determined at the time shares of the Company's common stock are distributed
pursuant to the settlement. At June 30, 2000, the conversion price for the $40.0
million convertible subordinated notes was $23.63. At a conversion price of
$1.19, the $40.0 million convertible subordinated notes are convertible into
approximately 33,613,445 shares of the Company's common stock.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to maintain the
effectiveness of the waiver and amendment to the note purchase agreement. If the
Company is unable to do so, and if the holders of these notes do not consent to
an additional proposed waiver of events of default under, and amendments to, the
note purchase agreement, the Company may be required to repurchase or redeem the
outstanding principal amount of the notes. If the aggregate principal amount of
such notes were accelerated, however, the repayment of such amounts would be
subordinate to the rights of the senior lenders under the Amended Bank Credit
Facility. Any requirement to repurchase or redeem the outstanding principal
amount of this indebtedness prior to its stated maturity would also trigger an
event of default under the provisions of the Company's other indebtedness,
including the provisions of the Amended Bank Credit Facility.
In connection with the waiver and amendment to the note purchase agreement, the
Company issued additional convertible subordinated notes containing
substantially similar terms in the aggregate principal amount of $1.1 million,
which amount represents all interest owed at the default rate of interest
through June 30, 2000. After giving consideration to the issuance of these
additional notes, as of November 14, 2000, the Company has made all required
interest payments under the $40.0 million convertible subordinated notes.
$30.0 MILLION CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED NOTES
Certain existing or potential events of default arose under the provisions of
the note purchase agreement relating to the Company's $30.0 million convertible
subordinated notes as a result of the Company's financial condition and as a
result of the proposed Restructuring. However, on June 30, 2000, the Company and
PMI Mezzanine Fund, L.P., the holder of the notes, executed a waiver and
amendment to the provisions of the note purchase agreement governing the notes.
This waiver and amendment provided for a waiver of all existing events of
default under the provisions of the note purchase agreement. In
32
34
addition, the waiver and amendment to the note purchase agreement amended the
economic terms of the notes to increase the applicable interest rate of the
notes by 0.5% per annum and adjusted the conversion price of the notes to a
price equal to 125% of the average closing price of the Company's common stock
on the NYSE for a period of 30 trading days immediately following the earlier of
(i) October 31, 2000 and (ii) the closing date of the Operating Company Merger.
In addition, the waiver and amendment to the note purchase agreement provided
for the replacement of financial ratios applicable to the Company. The
conversion price for the notes has been established at $1.07, subject to
adjustment in the future upon the occurrence of certain events, including the
payment of dividends and the issuance of stock at below market prices by the
Company. Under the terms of the waiver and amendment, the distribution of the
Company's Series B Preferred Stock, as described in Note 11 herein, will not
cause an adjustment to the conversion price of the notes. However, the
distribution of shares of the Company's common stock in connection with the
settlement of all outstanding stockholder litigation against the Company, as
described in Note 12 herein, will cause an adjustment to the conversion price of
the notes in an amount to be determined at the time shares of the Company's
common stock are distributed pursuant to the settlement. At June 30, 2000, the
conversion price for the $30.0 million convertible subordinated notes was
$23.63. At a conversion price of $1.07, the $30.0 million convertible
subordinated notes are convertible into approximately 28,037,383 shares of the
Company's common stock.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to maintain the
effectiveness of the waiver and amendment to the note purchase agreement. If the
Company is unable to do so, and if the holders of these notes do not consent to
an additional proposed waiver of any future events of default under, and
amendments to, the note purchase agreement, the Company may be required to
repurchase or redeem the outstanding principal amount of the notes. If the
aggregate principal amount of such convertible subordinated notes were
accelerated, however, the repayment of such amounts would be subordinate to the
rights of the senior lenders under the Amended Bank Credit Facility. Any
requirement to repurchase or redeem the outstanding principal amount of this
indebtedness prior to its stated maturity would also trigger an event of default
under the provisions of the Company's other indebtedness, including the
provisions of the Amended Bank Credit Facility.
As of November 14, 2000, the Company has made all required interest payments
under the $30.0 million convertible subordinated notes.
JJFMSI CREDIT FACILITY
On September 29, 2000, JJFMSI obtained a $6.4 million term loan from a group of
lenders led by Lehman, as the administrative agent. As of November 14, 2000,
JJFMSI has borrowed $6.4 million under the term loan. Approximately $4.0 million
of the proceeds from the loan was used to make a loan to PMSI and its
subsidiaries subsequent to September 30, 2000. The term loan facility bears
interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin that increases during the term of
the loan and matures on September 30, 2001. The facility bears interest at a
rate of LIBOR plus 400 basis points until December 31, 2000, at which time the
applicable margin will increase at a rate of 150 basis points per quarter until
maturity. The facility is secured by the accounts receivable and all other
accounts of JJFMSI and contains a requirement that the proceeds received by
JJFMSI and its
33
35
wholly owned subsidiary from the sale of its international operations, as more
fully described in Note 16 herein, be used to repay amounts outstanding under
the term loan facility.
9. OTHER INCOME
In connection with the acquisition of U.S. Corrections Corporation ("USCC") by
Old CCA and Old Prison Realty in 1998, $8.0 million of the acquisition price was
placed in escrow for the satisfaction of potential claims under the terms of the
acquisition agreements. On September 27, 2000 the Company received approximately
$4.5 million in final settlement of amounts held in escrow related to the USCC
acquisition. The $3.1 million represents the proceeds, net of miscellaneous
receivables arising from claims against the escrow.
10. INCOME TAXES
In connection with the Restructuring, on September 12, 2000 the Company's
stockholders approved an amendment to the Company's Charter to remove provisions
requiring the Company to elect to qualify and be taxed as a REIT for federal
income tax purposes effective January 1, 2000. Prior to the amendment to the
Company's Charter, the Company has operated so as to qualify as a REIT and, as
discussed in Note 11 herein, the Company elected REIT status for its taxable
year ended December 31, 1999. However, subsequent to the amendment to the
Company's Charter, the Company intends to be taxed as a taxable subchapter C
corporation beginning with its taxable year ending December 31, 2000. In
accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 109, the Company is required to establish current and deferred tax
assets and liabilities in its financial statements in the period in which a
change of tax status occurs. As such, the Company's financial statements, prior
to combining with PMSI and JJFMSI, as of and for the three and nine months
ending September 30, 2000, reflect an income tax provision of $117.7 million
primarily related to the change in tax status and additional provisions for
ongoing Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") audit issues.
Significant components of the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities at
September 30, 2000 are as follows:
Current Deferred Tax Assets:
Asset reserves and liabilities not yet deductible for tax $ 25,600
--------
Total current deferred tax assets 25,600
Less valuation allowance (16,275)
--------
Net total current deferred tax assets 9,325
--------
Current Deferred Tax Liabilities:
Book over tax basis of certain assets (195)

Total current deferred tax liabilities (195)
--------
Net current deferred tax assets $ 9,130

36
Noncurrent Deferred Tax Assets:
Deferred gains on sales of contracts $ 38,235
Asset reserves and liabilities not yet deductible for tax 14,000
Tax over book basis of certain assets 5,732
Other 402
Net operating loss carryforwards 34,231
---------
Total noncurrent deferred tax assets 92,600
Less valuation allowance (54,365)
---------
Net noncurrent deferred tax assets 38,235
---------
Noncurrent Deferred Tax Liabilities:
Book over tax basis of real estate property (172,389)
Items deductible for tax not yet recorded to income (49,839)
---------
Total noncurrent deferred tax liabilities (222,228)
---------
Net noncurrent deferred tax liabilities $(183,993)
=========
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences
between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting
purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Realization of the future
tax benefits related to deferred tax assets is dependent on many factors,
including the Company's ability to generate taxable income within the net
operating loss carryforward period. Management has considered these factors in
reaching its conclusion as to the valuation allowance for financial reporting
purposes. Due to the Company's recent operating losses and projections of future
results, there is significant uncertainty about the Company's ability to
generate sufficient taxable income in the future to realize certain of the
deferred tax assets. In accordance with SFAS No. 109, the Company has provided a
valuation allowance at September 30, 2000 to reserve certain of the deferred tax
assets. At September 30, 2000, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards
for income tax purposes totaling $87.8 million available to offset future
taxable income. The carryforward period expires in 2020.
As more fully discussed in Note 4, the Company's financial statements as of
September 30, 2000 are reflected on a combined basis with PMSI and JJFMSI. On a
combined basis, the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities at September
30, 2000 are as follows:
Current Deferred Tax Assets:
CCA current deferred tax assets (net of valuation allowance) $ 9,325
PMSI current deferred tax assets 1,553
JJFMSI current deferred tax assets 1,294
-------
Combined current deferred tax assets 12,172
Current Deferred Tax Liabilities:
CCA current deferred tax liabilities (195)

Noncurrent Deferred Tax Assets:
CCA noncurrent deferred tax assets (net of valuation $ 38,235
allowance)
PMSI noncurrent deferred tax assets 2,047
JJFMSI noncurrent deferred tax assets 1,040
---------
Combined noncurrent deferred tax assets 41,322
Noncurrent Deferred Tax Liabilities:
CCA noncurrent deferred tax liabilities (222,228)
---------
Combined net noncurrent deferred tax liabilities $(180,906)
=========
Prior to January 1, 1999, Old CCA, the Company's predecessor, was a taxable
subchapter C corporation. As of December 31, 1998, the Company's balance sheet
reflected $83.2 million in gross deferred tax assets. In connection with the
1999 Merger, the Company changed its federal income tax status from a subchapter
C corporation to a REIT. In accordance with SFAS No. 109, the Company provided a
provision for these deferred tax assets, excluding any estimated tax liabilities
required for prior tax periods, upon completion of the 1999 Merger in January
1999 and the election to be taxed as a REIT. As such, the Company's results of
operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 reflect a provision for
change in tax status of $83.2 million.
11. DISTRIBUTIONS TO STOCKHOLDERS
On March 22, 2000, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a quarterly
dividend on the Company's Series A Preferred Stock of $0.50 per share to
preferred stockholders of record on March 31, 2000. These dividends were paid on
April 17, 2000. As of November 14, 2000, the Company's Board of Directors has
not declared a dividend on the Series A Preferred Stock for the quarters ended
June 30, 2000 and September 30, 2000. In connection with the June 2000 Waiver
and Amendment, the Company is prohibited from declaring or paying any dividends
with respect to the Company's currently outstanding Series A Preferred Stock
until such time as the Company has raised at least $100.0 million in equity.
Therefore, the Company has not made any payments with respect to the second and
third quarter dividends. Dividends with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock
will continue to accrue under the terms of the Company's Charter until such time
as payment of such dividends is permitted under the terms of the June 2000
Waiver and Amendment. A second and third quarter 2000 dividend of $0.50 per
share has been accrued as of September 30, 2000.
Under the terms of the Company's Charter, as in effect prior to the
Restructuring, the Company was required to elect to be taxed as a REIT for
federal income tax purposes for its taxable year ended December 31, 1999. The
Company, as a REIT, could not complete any taxable year with accumulated
earnings and profits from a taxable corporation. Accordingly, the Company was
required to distribute Old CCA's earnings and profits to which it succeeded in
the 1999 Merger (the "Accumulated Earnings and Profits"). For the year ended
December 31, 1999, the Company made approximately $217.7 million of
distributions related to its common stock and Series A Preferred Stock. Because
the Company's
36
38
Accumulated Earnings and Profits were approximately $152.5 million, and the
Company's distributions were deemed to have been paid first from those
Accumulated Earnings and Profits, the Company met the above-described
distribution requirements. In addition to distributing its Accumulated Earnings
and Profits, the Company, in order to qualify for taxation as a REIT with
respect to its 1999 taxable year, is required to distribute 95.0% of its
taxable income for 1999. The Company believes that this distribution
requirement has been satisfied by its distribution of shares of the Company's
Series B Preferred Stock, as discussed below.
On September 22, 2000, the Company issued 5,927,805 shares of its Series B
Preferred Stock in connection with its remaining 1999 REIT distribution
requirement. The distribution was made to the Company's common stockholders of
record on September 14, 2000, who received five shares of Series B Preferred
Stock for every 100 shares of the Company's common stock held on the record
date. The Company paid its common stockholders approximately $15,000 in cash in
lieu of issuing fractional shares of Series B Preferred Stock. On November 13,
2000, the Company issued approximately 1,590,065 additional shares of Series B
Preferred Stock in furtherance of meeting its 1999 REIT distribution
requirements. This distribution was made to the Company's common stockholders
of record on November 6, 2000, who received one share of Series B Preferred
Stock for every 100 shares of the Company's common stock held on the record
date. The Company also paid its common stockholders approximately $15,000 in
cash in lieu of issuing fractional shares of Series B Preferred Stock in the
second distribution.
The Company recorded the initial issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock at
its stated value of $24.46 per share, or a total of $145.0 million. The Company
has determined the distribution made on September 22, 2000 amounted to a
taxable distribution by the Company of approximately $107.6 million. The
distribution of the additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock on November
13, 2000 is expected to satisfy the Company's remaining distribution
requirements. However, the taxable distribution value of the shares of Series B
Preferred Stock distributed on November 13, 2000 has not been determined at
this time, and there can be no assurance that such distribution will satisfy
the Company's remaining 1999 REIT distribution requirements. The Company has
accrued a 12.0% dividend on the shares of Series B Preferred Stock for the
period from September 22, 2000 to September 30, 2000.
The shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued by the Company provide for
dividends, payable in additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock, at a rate
of 12.0% per year for the first three years following the issuance of the
shares and cash dividends at a rate of 12.0% per year thereafter, payable for
the period from issuance through December 31, 2000 and quarterly thereafter in
arrears. The shares of the Series B Preferred Stock are callable by the
Company, at a price per share equal to the stated value of $24.46, plus any
accrued dividends, at any time after six months following the later of (i)
three years following the date of issuance or (ii) the 91st day following the
redemption of the Company's 12.0% senior notes, due 2006. The shares of Series
B Preferred Stock are convertible into shares of the Company's common stock
during two conversion periods (to the extent such shares have been issued at
the time of such conversion period): (i) from Monday, October 2, 2000 to
Friday, October 13, 2000; and (ii) from Thursday, December 7, 2000 to
Wednesday, December 20, 2000, at a conversion price based on the average
closing price of the Company's common stock on the NYSE during the 10 trading
days prior to
37
39
the first day of the applicable conversion period, provided, however, that the
conversion price used to determine the number of shares of the Company's common
stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock shall not be
less than $1.00. The number of shares of the Company's common stock that will
be issuable upon the conversion of each share of Series B Preferred Stock will
be calculated by dividing the stated price ($24.46), plus accrued and unpaid
dividends as of the date of conversion of each share of Series B Preferred
Stock, by the conversion price established for the conversion period.
The Company has accrued a 12.0% dividend on the shares of Series B Preferred
Stock for the period from September 22, 2000 to September 30, 2000.
Approximately 1,302,486 shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued by the
Company on September 22, 2000 were converted during the first conversion period
in October 2000, resulting in the issuance of approximately 21,621,267 shares
of the Company's common stock. The conversion price for the initial conversion
period was established at $1.4813, thereby resulting in each share of Series B
Preferred Stock being convertible into approximately 16.6 shares of the
Company's common stock during the initial conversion period.
PMSI AND JJFMSI DIVIDEND PAYABLE
As of September 30, 2000, the Company has received quarterly dividends in
arrears from each of PMSI and JJFMSI through the first quarter of 2000. As of
November 14, 2000, no dividends have been declared for the second and third
quarter of 2000.
12. CONTINGENCIES
LITIGATION
STOCKHOLDER LITIGATION
The Company has entered into definitive settlement agreements regarding the
settlement of all outstanding stockholder litigation against the Company and
certain of its existing and former directors and executive officers. The
stipulations of settlement, which have received preliminary court approval,
provide for the "global" settlement of a series of class action and derivative
lawsuits brought against the Company by current and former stockholders of the
Company and its predecessors. These lawsuits were brought as the result of,
among other things, agreements entered into by the Company and Operating Company
in May 1999 to increase payments made by the Company to Operating Company under
the terms of certain agreements and previously announced transactions relating
to a restructuring of the companies led by Fortress/Blackstone and a
restructuring led by Pacific Life. The hearings for final court approval of the
settlement are scheduled to be completed within the next 60 days. Specifically,
the settlement relates to the following previously disclosed actions: (i)
Bernstein v. Prison Realty Trust, et al. (including Hardee v. Prison Realty
Trust, et al. and Holle v. Prison Realty Trust, et al., which were consolidated
with Bernstein); (ii) Neiger v. Doctor Crants, et al. (including Anderson v.
Doctor Crants, et al. and Brody v. Prison Realty
38
40
Trust, Inc., et al., which were consolidated with Neiger); (iii) Buchanan and
Unger v. Prison Realty Trust, Inc., et al.; (iv) In re Old CCA Securities
Litigation; (v) In re Prison Realty Securities Litigation; (vi) Mikovits v.
Prison Realty Trust, et al.; (vii) Wanstrath v. Crants, et al.; and (viii)
Dasburg, S.A. v. Corrections Corporation of America, et al.
The definitive settlement agreements provide that the Company will pay or issue
the plaintiffs an aggregate of: (i) approximately $47.5 million in cash payable
solely from the proceeds under certain insurance policies; and (ii)
approximately $75.4 million in shares of the Company's common stock (or
17,235,715 shares at an agreed value of $4.375 per share). For the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2000, the Company has accrued $75.4 million
related to the future issuance of Company common stock. The shares of common
stock to be issued by the Company in accordance with the settlement agreements
will be subject to a stock price guarantee of $4.375 per share, which will
require the Company to pay or issue, at its option, cash or additional shares of
common stock to the plaintiffs if the trading price of the Company's common
stock does not reach $4.375 per share for a specified number of trading days
during the period from the completion of the settlement through August 31, 2001.
In addition, shares issued in the settlement are subject to certain
anti-dilution adjustments if the Company undertakes certain transactions
(generally, raising equity capital in excess of $110.0 million at less than the
stock price guarantee) during the period from August 31, 2001 through December
31, 2001. The terms of the settlement provide that the Company is required to
make an initial distribution of 17,235,715 shares of common stock at or about
the time of final court approval of the settlements, which is expected to be in
December 2000 or in January 2001. An additional number of shares of the
Company's common stock will be issuable after August 31, 2001 if the market
price of the Company's common stock does not reach the designated guaranteed
stock price.
In addition to the payments of amounts specified above, the Company and the
plaintiffs have agreed to certain other matters in connection with the
settlement of the litigation, including: (i) a prohibition on payments of any
kind by the Company to insiders of the Company and the Company's affiliates in
connection with the Restructuring, except as previously disclosed by the
Company; (ii) restrictions on the Company's ability to reprice stock options
previously issued to former or current directors or executive officers of the
Company without stockholder approval for a period of 24 months; and (iii)
requirements regarding the composition of the Company's Board of Directors and
its committees and the adoption by the Board of Directors of certain related
corporate governance policies.
OTHER LITIGATION
The Company was the subject of a purported class action complaint filed in the
Circuit Court for Davidson County, Tennessee, on January 28, 2000. The lawsuit,
captioned White v. Prison Realty Trust, Inc., et al., alleged that the
defendants engaged in the unfair and deceptive practice of permitting telephone
service providers exclusive service rights in return for illegal payments and
kickbacks, which exclusive agreements allow and require the providers to charge
unconscionable fees for phone services. This complaint was subsequently
dismissed by the Circuit Court on February 23, 2000. A similar complaint,
captioned Hunt v. Prison Realty Trust, Inc., was filed on February 23, 2000 in
the Circuit Court for Davidson County, Tennessee, naming as defendants the
Company, Operating Company, JJFMSI and PMSI. Plaintiffs are asking for
unspecified treble damages pursuant to the Tennessee Consumer Protection Act,
plus restitution of the amounts collected by the defendants under such
39
41
arrangements, as well as a permanent injunction restraining the defendants from
engaging in such conduct, in addition to unspecified damages. While the outcome
of this lawsuit is not determinable, the Company does not believe that such
litigation, if resolved against the Company, would have a material adverse
effect upon it business or financial position.
At December 31, 1998, Old CCA was a party to two inmate lawsuits at the
Northeast Ohio Correctional Center for wrongful deaths. These lawsuits were
assumed by the Company in the 1999 Merger. While the outcome of these lawsuits
is not determinable, the Company does not believe that such litigation, if
resolved against the Company, would have a material adverse effect upon its
business or financial position.
On June 9, 2000, a complaint captioned Prison Acquisition Company, LLC v.
Prison Realty Trust, Inc., et al. was filed in federal court in the United
States District Court for the Southern District of New York by
Fortress/Blackstone to recover in excess of $24.0 million in fees, consisting
of a transaction termination fee of $7.5 million, a $15.7 million commitment
fee, and certain expenses allegedly owed them under the terms of the securities
purchase agreement with Fortress/Blackstone as the result of the termination of
the agreement by the Company, Operating Company, PMSI and JJFMSI. The Company
is contesting this action vigorously. While the outcome of this lawsuit is not
determinable, any resulting liability would have a material adverse effect upon
the business or financial position of the Company.
On October 15, 1998, a complaint captioned Frederick & May Construction Co. v.
U.S. Corrections Corporation was filed in the Circuit Court for Lee County,
Kentucky alleging a breach of contract regarding the construction of
improvements to two correctional facilities acquired when Old Prison Realty
purchased and merged with USCC. Frederick & May Construction Co. ("Frederick &
May") alleged that it had valid contracts for the completion of the improvements
and that the contracts were wrongfully terminated. The issue of damages in this
matter was tried to a jury in June 2000, subsequent to the court granting
summary judgment in favor of Frederick & May on the issue of the existence of a
contract. While the jury originally returned a verdict against USCC in an amount
of approximately $1.0 million, the Company and the plaintiffs have settled this
lawsuit for $650,000 prior to the Company's appeal of such verdict.
On September 14, 1998, a complaint captioned Thomas Horn, Ferman Heaton, Ricky
Estes, and Charles Combs, individually and on behalf of the U.S. Corrections
Corporation Employee Stock Ownership Plan and its participants v. Robert B.
McQueen, Milton Thompson, the U.S. Corrections Corporation Employee Stock
Ownership Plan, U.S. Corrections Corporation, and Corrections Corporation of
America was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of
Kentucky alleging numerous violations of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act ("ERISA"), including but not limited to a failure to manage the
assets of the U.S. Corrections Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the "ESOP") in
the sole interest of the participants, purchasing assets without undertaking
adequate investigation of the investment, overpayment for employer securities,
failure to resolve conflicts of interest, lending money between the ESOP and
employer, allowing the ESOP to borrow money other than for the acquisition of
employer securities, failure to make adequate, independent and reasoned
investigation into the prudence and advisability of certain transaction, and
otherwise. The plaintiffs are seeking damages in excess of $30.0 million plus
prejudgment interest and attorneys' fees. While the outcome of this lawsuit is
not
40
42
determinable, in the event any resulting liability is not covered by insurance
proceeds, such liability would have a material adverse effect upon the business
or financial position of the Company. While the Company has insurance coverage
with respect to these claims, the insurance carrier has questioned whether
they received timely notice of these claims and, as a result, such carrier may
contest any claims against such coverage.
In February 2000, a complaint was filed in federal court in the United States
District Court for the Western District of Texas against Operating Company's
inmate transportation subsidiary, TransCor. The lawsuit, captioned Cheryl
Schoenfeld v. TransCor America, Inc., et al., names as defendants TransCor and
its directors. The lawsuit alleges that two drivers sexually assaulted and
raped the plaintiff during her transportation to a facility in Texas. The
plaintiff has submitted a $21.0 million settlement demand. The parties in this
lawsuit are currently preparing for motions for summary judgement. The Company
and its wholly owned subsidiary, as successor to Operating Company, and
TransCor are defending this action vigorously. It is expected that a portion of
any liabilities resulting from this litigation will be covered by liability
insurance. However, in the event any resulting liability is not covered by
insurance proceeds, such liability would have a material adverse effect upon
the business or financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries.
INCOME TAX CONTINGENCIES
Under the terms of the Company's Charter, the Company is required to elect to
be taxed as a REIT for the year ended December 31, 1999. The Company, as a
REIT, could not complete any taxable year with Accumulated Earnings and
Profits. For the year ended December 31, 1999, the Company made approximately
$217.7 million of distributions related to its common stock and Series A
Preferred Stock. The Company met the above described distribution requirements
by designating approximately $152.5 million of the total distributions in 1999
as distributions of its Accumulated Earnings and Profits. In addition to
distributing its Accumulated Earnings and Profits, the Company, in order to
qualify for taxation as a REIT with respect to its 1999 taxable year, is
required to distribute 95% of its taxable income for 1999. The Company believes
that this distribution requirement has been satisfied by its distribution of
shares of the Company's Series B Preferred Stock, as discussed in Note 10
herein. The Company's failure to distribute 95% of its taxable income for 1999
or the failure of the Company to comply with other requirements for REIT
qualification under the Code with respect to its taxable year ended December
31, 1999 would have a material adverse impact on the Company's combined and
consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
The Company's election of REIT status for its taxable year ended December 31,
1999 is subject to review by the IRS for a period of three years from the date
of filing of its 1999 tax return. Should the IRS review the Company's election
to be taxed as a REIT for the 1999 taxable year and reach a conclusion
disallowing the Company's dividends paid deduction, the Company would be subject
to income taxes and interest on its 1999 taxable income and possibly subject to
fines and/or penalties. Income taxes, penalties and interest for the year ended
December 31, 1999 could exceed $83.5 million, which would have an adverse impact
on the Company's combined and consolidated financial position, results of
operations and cash flows.
In connection with the 1999 Merger, the Company assumed the tax obligations of
Old CCA resulting from disputes with federal and state taxing authorities
related to tax returns filed by Old CCA in 1998 and prior taxable years. The
IRS is currently conducting audits of Old CCA's federal tax returns for the
41
43
taxable years ending December 31, 1998 and 1997. In connection with its audit of
Old CCA's tax return for the year ended December 31, 1997, the IRS issued an
assessment disallowing certain tax deductions taken by the Company. The Company
has filed a formal appeal with the IRS contesting certain deductions disallowed
by the assessment. The Company currently is unable to predict the ultimate
outcome of the IRS's audits of Old CCA's 1998 and 1997 federal tax returns or
the ultimate outcome of audits of other tax returns of the Company or Old CCA by
the IRS or by other taxing authorities. However, it is possible that such audits
will result in claims against the Company in excess of reserves currently
recorded by the Company. In addition, to the extent that IRS audit adjustments
increase the Accumulated Earnings and Profits of Old CCA, the Company would be
required to make timely distribution of the Accumulated Earnings and Profits of
Old CCA to stockholders. Such results would have a material adverse impact on
the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
GUARANTEES
In connection with the bond issuance of a governmental entity for which PMSI
currently provides management services at a 2,016 bed correctional facility,
the Company is obligated, under a debt service deficits agreement, to pay the
trustee of the bond's trust indenture (the "Trustee") amounts necessary to pay
any debt service deficits consisting of principal and interest requirements
(outstanding principal balance of $69.1 million at September 30, 2000 plus
future interest payments). In the event the State of Tennessee, which is
currently utilizing the facility, exercises its option to purchase the
correctional facility, the Company is also obligated to pay the difference
between principal and interest owed on the bonds on the date set for the
redemption of the bonds and amounts paid by the State of Tennessee for the
facility and all other funds on deposit with the Trustee and available for
redemption of the bonds. The Company also maintains a restricted cash account
of approximately $7.0 million as collateral against a guarantee it has provided
for a forward purchase agreement related to the above bond issuance.
The IRS is conducting an audit of $72.7 million in tax exempt bonds issued by
the Hardeman County Correctional Facilities Corporation ("HCCFC") in 1997, the
proceeds of which were used to construct a correctional facility in Hardeman
County, Tennessee, owned by HCCFC. At the time the bonds were issued, Old CCA
entered into a management agreement with respect to the correctional facility.
By separate agreement, Old CCA agreed to pay any debt service deficits on the
bonds. Subsequent to the issuance of the bonds, HCCFC paid Old CCA a
discretionary bonus of approximately $4.1 million. The payment of this bonus is
one of several issues under review by the IRS. Because of the contractual
relationship between Old CCA and HCCFC, there exists the risk that if this
matter is determined adversely to the Company, as the successor to Old CCA, any
resulting liability for the Company would have a material adverse effect upon
the business or financial condition of the Company. The extent of any such
liability is impossible to predict at this time.
EMPLOYMENT AND SEVERANCE AGREEMENTS
On July 28, 2000, Doctor R. Crants was terminated as the Chief Executive
Officer of the Company and from all positions with the Company and Operating
Company. Under certain employment and severance agreements, Mr. Crants will
continue to receive his salary and health, life and disability insurance
benefits for a period of three years and was vested immediately in 140,000
shares of the Company's common
42
44
stock previously granted as part of a deferred stock award. The compensation
expense related to these benefits, totaling $0.7 million in cash and $1.2
million in non-cash charges representing the unamortized portion of the
deferred stock award, have been recognized in the three and nine months ending
September 30, 2000. The unamortized portion is based on the trading price of
the common stock of Old CCA, a predecessor to the Company, as of the date of
grant, which occurred in the fourth quarter of 1995. Prior to Mr. Crants'
termination, pursuant to the terms of the Company's 1997 Employee Share
Incentive Plan, Mr. Crants had been issued 6,570 shares of restricted stock,
1,687 of which vested immediately upon the date of the award. The remaining
shares vested ratably on each of the first three anniversaries following the
date of award. On July 28, 2000, all 3,375 of the unvested shares of restricted
stock held by Mr. Crants' were forfeited to the Company as the result of his
termination.
Effective November 17, 2000, Darrell K. Massengale, Secretary of the Company,
will resign from all positions with the Company, its subsidiaries and its
affiliates. Under Mr. Massengale's employment agreement, all deferred or
restricted shares of common stock granted to Mr. Massengale have become fully
vested. The compensation expense related to the deferred shares, a $0.1 million
non-cash charge representing the unamortized portion of the deferred stock
award, is recognized in the three and nine months ending September 30, 2000.
The unamortized portion is based on the trading price of the common stock of
Old CCA, a predecessor to the Company, as of the date of grant, which was
during the fourth quarter of 1995.
AGREEMENT WITH DC INVESTMENT PARTNERS, LLC
On December 31, 1999, an agreement was executed between the Company and DC
Investment Partners, LLC ("DCI"), a private investment manager of which two
former directors and officers of the Company (D. Robert Crants, III and Michael
W. Devlin) are principals. Under the agreement, the Company is to reimburse
DCI, over an eight year period beginning July 2000, for certain costs incurred
by DCI in relocating its office space from the corporate office building owned
and occupied by the Company. In the third quarter of 2000, the Company recorded
a $0.4 million charge to general and administrative expense representing the
present value of the future payments called for under the agreement. However,
management of the Company is currently evaluating its obligation to honor this
agreement and has suspended further payments under the agreement.
13. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by
the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the
year. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income
(loss) (as adjusted) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock
after considering the additional dilution related to convertible preferred
stock, convertible subordinated notes and options.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000, the Company's stock
options and warrants and convertible subordinated notes were convertible into
an additional 61,651,668 million shares. These incremental
43
45
shares were excluded from the computation of diluted net income (loss) per
share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 as the effect of
their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
The issuance by the Company of the shares of its Series B Preferred Stock, as
well, as the settlement of the outstanding stockholder litigation described
below, will result in the issuance of a significant number of additional shares
of the Company's common stock subsequent to September 30, 2000.
As described in Note 11, on September 22, 2000, the Company issued 5,927,805
shares of its Series B Preferred Stock in connection with its remaining 1999
REIT distribution requirement. On November 13, 2000, the Company issued
approximately 1,590,065 additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock in
furtherance of meeting its 1999 REIT distribution requirements. The shares of
Series B Preferred Stock issued by the Company provide for dividends, payable in
additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock, at a rate of 12.0% per year for
the first three years following the issuance of the shares and cash dividends at
a rate of 12.0% per year thereafter, payable for the period from issuance
through December 31, 2000 and quarterly thereafter in arrears. The shares of
Series B Preferred Stock are convertible into shares of the Company's common
stock during two conversion periods as described in Note 11 herein.
Approximately 1,302,486 shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued by the Company
on September 22, 2000 were converted during the first conversion period in
October 2000, resulting in the issuance of approximately 21,621,267 shares of
the Company's common stock. Any incremental common shares associated with the
Series B Preferred Stock were excluded from the computation of diluted net
income (loss) per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000
as the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
As described in Note 12, the Company has entered into definitive settlement
agreements regarding the settlement of all outstanding stockholder litigation
against the Company and certain of its existing and former directors and
executive officers. The definitive settlement agreements provide that the
Company will, among other things, issue the plaintiffs an aggregate of
approximately $75.4 million in shares of the Company's common stock (or
17,235,715 shares at an agreed value of $4.375 per share). The shares of common
stock to be issued by the Company in accordance with the settlement agreements
will be subject to a stock price guarantee of $4.375 per share, which will
require the Company to pay or issue, at its option, cash or additional shares of
common
44
46
stock to the plaintiffs if the trading price of the Company's common stock does
not reach $4.375 per share for a specified number of trading days during the
period from the completion of the settlement through August 31, 2001. In
addition, shares issued in the settlement are subject to certain anti-dilution
adjustments if the Company undertakes certain transactions (generally, raising
equity capital in excess of $110.0 million at less than the stock price
guarantee) during the period from August 31, 2001 through December 31, 2001.
These incremental common shares were excluded from the computation of diluted
net income (loss) per share for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2000 as their issuance is contingent upon final court approval of the
stockholder litigation settlement agreement as discussed in Note 12.
14. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS
133"). SFAS 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that
every derivative instrument be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset
or liability measured at its fair value. SFAS 133 requires that changes in a
derivative's fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific
hedge accounting criteria are met. SFAS 133, as amended by Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 137, "Deferral of the Effective Date of SFAS
133", is effective for fiscal quarters of all fiscal years beginning after June
15, 2000. While the Company is in the process of identifying its affected
investments, the Company does not believe that the impact of adoption of SFAS
133 will have a material impact on the Company's combined financial position,
results of operations or cash flows.
15. RELATIONSHIP WITH OPERATING COMPANY
At September 30, 2000, Operating Company leased 35 of the 44 correctional and
detention facilities owned by the Company. In addition, at September 30, 2000,
the Company owned two corporate office buildings, one of which is leased by
Operating Company and one of which is leased by TransCor.
During the third quarter of 2000, the Company forgave certain amounts that were
due from Operating Company as of August 31, 2000 in order to stabilize
Operating Company in the event the Operating Company Merger was not
consummated. The Company forgave the receivable for the deferred payments under
the Operating Company Leases, the interest on the deferred payments with
respect to the Operating Company Leases and the interest on the Operating
Company Note in the amounts of $190.8 million, $7.9 million and $27.4 million,
respectively. All of these amounts had been previously reserved in the
Company's financial statements. As such, the Company's financial position and
results of operations were not impacted by the forgiveness of the amounts due.
See the Company's Form 10-K for additional information with respect to the
contractual relationships between the Company and Operating Company. The
following information contained in this Note 15 updates the activity related to
the specific transactions and contractual relationships.
45
47
OPERATING COMPANY NOTE
In connection with the 1999 Merger, Old CCA received the $137.0 million
Operating Company Note. The Company succeeded to the Operating Company Note as
a result of the 1999 Merger. Interest on the Operating Company Note is payable
annually at the rate of 12.0%. Interest only is payable for the first four
years of the Operating Company Note. Principal is due in six equal annual
installments of approximately $22.8 million, beginning December 31, 2003. In
addition, Operating Company currently is prohibited, under the terms of its
revolving credit facility, from making scheduled interest payments under the
terms of the Operating Company Note. The Company forgave $27.4 million of
interest accrued under the terms of the Operating Company Note from January 1,
1999 to August 31, 2000, all of which had been fully reserved. The Company has
fully reserved the $1.4 million of interest accrued for the month of September
2000.
INVESTMENT IN OPERATING COMPANY
For the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, the Company recognized
no income or loss related to its stock ownership investment in Operating
Company. However, as discussed in Note 17 herein, in connection with the
Operating Company Merger, the Company will be required to restate its financial
statements to recognize its 9.5% pro rata share of Operating Company's losses
on a retroactive basis for the period from January 1, 1999 through September
30, 2000.
DEFERRED GAIN ON SALE TO OPERATING COMPANY
No amortization of the Operating Company deferred gain occurred during the nine
months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999.
OPERATING COMPANY LEASES
During the month ended December 31, 1999 and the nine months ended September
30, 2000, Operating Company failed to make timely contractual payments under
the terms of the Operating Company Leases. As of December 31, 1999,
approximately $24.9 million of rents due from Operating Company to the Company
were unpaid. The original terms of the Operating Company Leases provide that
rental payments were due and payable on December 25, 1999. As of November 14,
2000, Operating Company has paid the $24.9 million of lease payments related to
1999 and $31.0 million of lease payments related to 2000. For the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2000, the Company recognized rental revenue
from Operating Company of $82.5 million and $244.3 million, respectively, and
recorded a reserve of $69.5 million and $213.3 million, respectively, resulting
in recognition of net rental revenue from Operating Company of $13.0 million
and $31.0 million, respectively. The reserve was recorded due to the
uncertainty regarding the collectibility of the revenue. The Company forgave
the unpaid rental payments of $190.8 million due and payable to the Company as
of August 31, 2000. The Company has fully reserved the $22.5 million of rental
payments due for the month of September 2000.
46
48
In June 2000, Operating Company Leases were amended to defer, with interest,
rental payments originally due during the period from January 2000 to September
2000, with the exception of certain installment payments. For the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2000, the Company accrued and fully reserved
$0.5 million and $8.0 million, respectively, of interest due to the Company on
unpaid rental payments. The Company forgave the interest due on the unpaid
rental payments of $7.9 million as of August 31, 2000.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999, the Company recognized
rental revenue from Operating Company of $64.7 million and $189.4 million,
respectively.
The Company cancelled the Operating Company Leases in connection with the
Operating Company Merger.
TENANT INCENTIVE ARRANGEMENT
For the year ended December 1999, the Company had paid tenant incentive fees
under the terms of an amended and restated tenant incentive agreement (the
"Amended and Restated Tenant Incentive Agreement") of $68.6 million, with $2.9
million of those fees amortized against rental revenues. During the fourth
quarter of 1999, the Company undertook a plan that contemplated either merging
with Operating Company and thereby eliminating the Operating Company Leases or
amending the Operating Company Leases to reduce the lease payments to be paid
by Operating Company to the Company during 2000. Consequently, the Company
determined that the remaining deferred tenant incentive fees under the existing
lease arrangements at December 31, 1999 were not realizable and wrote off fees
totaling $65.7 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, the
Company opened two facilities and expanded three facilities that are operated
and leased by Operating Company. The Company expensed the tenant incentive fees
due Operating Company in 2000, totaling $11.9 million, but has made no payments
to Operating Company in 2000 with respect to this agreement. On June 9, 2000,
Operating Company and the Company amended the Amended and Restated Tenant
Incentive Agreement to defer, with interest, payments to Operating Company by
the Company pursuant to this agreement. At September 30, 2000, $11.9 million of
payments under the Amended and Restated Tenant Incentive Agreement, plus $0.7
million of interest payments, were accrued but unpaid under the original terms
of this agreement. This agreement was cancelled in connection with the
Operating Company Merger.
TRADE NAME USE AGREEMENT
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000, the Company recognized
income of $2.3 million and $7.6 million, respectively, from Operating Company
under the terms of a service mark and trade name use agreement (the "Trade Name
Use Agreement"). As of September 30, 2000, the Company had recorded a
receivable totaling $7.6 million from Operating Company for licensing fees due
under the Trade Name Use Agreement, all of which has been collected subsequent
to September 30, 2000. This agreement was cancelled in connection with the
Operating Company Merger.
47
49
The Company recognized $2.2 million and $6.5 million in licensing fee revenues
from Operating Company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999,
respectively. This agreement was cancelled in connection with the Operating
Company Merger.
RIGHT TO PURCHASE AGREEMENT
Since January 1, 1999, the Company has not purchased any assets from Operating
Company under a right to purchase agreement by and between Operating Company
and the Company (the "Right to Purchase Agreement"). This agreement was
cancelled in connection with the Operating Company Merger.
SERVICES AGREEMENT
Costs incurred by the Company under an amended and restated services agreement
(the "Amended and Restated Services Agreement") have been capitalized as part
of the facilities' development cost. Costs incurred under the Amended and
Restated Services Agreement and capitalized as part of the facilities'
development cost totaled $0.1 million and $5.6 million for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2000. On June 9, 2000, Operating Company and the
Company amended this agreement to defer, with interest, payments to Operating
Company by the Company pursuant to this agreement. At September 30, 2000, $5.6
million of payments under the Amended and Restated Services Agreement, plus
$0.3 million of interest payments, were accrued but unpaid under the original
terms of this agreement. This agreement was cancelled in connection with the
Operating Company Merger.
Costs incurred related to the Amended and Restated Services Agreement for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 1999 were $8.1 million and $34.6
million, respectively.
BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
Costs incurred by the Company under a business development agreement (the
"Business Development Agreement") are capitalized as part of the facilities'
development cost. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000, no
costs were incurred under the Business Development Agreement. For the three and
nine months ended September 30, 1999, $3.1 million and $15.0 million,
respectively, were incurred. On June 9, 2000, Operating Company and the Company
amended this agreement to defer, with interest, payments to Operating Company
by the Company pursuant to this agreement. This agreement was cancelled in
connection with the Operating Company Merger.
ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICE AGREEMENTS WITH PMSI AND JJFMSI
Effective September 29, 2000, the Administrative Services Agreements by and
between Operating Company and PMSI and JJFMSI were amended to (i) increase as
of January 1, 2000 the administrative services fee paid by each of PMSI and
JJFMSI to Operating Company from $260,000 per month to $450,000 per month and
(ii) to include as of January 1, 2000, a monthly payment to Operating Company
from PMSI and JJFMSI for the use of the name "Corrections Corporation of
America" in an amount equal to 2.0% of the monthly management revenues of PMSI
and JJFMSI. Pursuant to the terms of the Proposed Consent and Amendment, the
Company is seeking the consent of the requisite percentage of
48
50
its senior lenders under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement for the
amendments to the Administrative Services Agreement. In the event the Proposed
Consent and Amendment is not obtained, the Company will be in default under the
terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The increase in the
administrative services fee resulted in an additional $1.7 million charge to
each of PMSI and JJFMSI and an additional $3.4 million in revenue for Operating
Company. The trade name use fee provided for under the Administrative Services
Agreements resulted in a charge of $2.4 million and $2.0 million for PMSI and
JJFMSI, respectively, and revenue of $4.4 million to Operating Company.
OPERATING COMPANY REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY
On April 27, 2000, Operating Company obtained a waiver of events of default
under its $100.0 million revolving credit facility with a group of lenders led
by Foothill Capital Corporation ("Foothill Capital") relating to: (i) the
amendment of certain contractual arrangements between the Company and Operating
Company; (ii) Operating Company's violation of a net worth covenant contained
in the revolving credit facility; and (iii) the execution of the Agreement and
Plan of Merger, as defined hereinafter, with respect to the Operating Company
Merger. On June 30, 2000, the terms of the initial waiver were amended to
provide that the waiver would remain in effect, subject to certain other events
of termination, until the earlier of (i) September 15, 2000 or (ii) the
completion of the Operating Company Merger.
On September 15, 2000, Operating Company terminated its revolving credit
facility with Foothill Capital and simultaneously entered into a new $50.0
million revolving credit facility with Lehman. This new revolving credit
facility, which bears interest at an applicable prime rate, plus 2.25%, is
secured by the accounts receivable and all other accounts of Operating Company.
The revolving credit facility matures on December 31, 2002. Operating Company
paid a $1.0 million commitment fee to Lehman at closing for this revolving
credit facility. In accordance with the terms of its revolving credit facility
with Foothill Capital. Operating Company expensed $5.1 million of loan fees
associated with the termination of its revolving credit facility with Foothill
Capital.

16. INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATES
In connection with the 1999 Merger, Old CCA received 100% of the non-voting
common stock in each of PMSI and JJFMSI, valued at the implied fair market
values of $67.1 million and $55.9
50
52
million, respectively. The Company succeeded to these interests as a result of
the 1999 Merger. The Company's ownership of the non-voting common stock of PMSI
and JJFMSI entitles the Company to receive, when and if declared by the boards
of directors of the respective companies, 95% of the net income, as defined, of
each company as cash dividends. Dividends payable to the Company not declared
and paid on a quarterly basis will accrue and are cumulative. As of November
14, 2000, the Company has received quarterly dividends in arrears from each of
PMSI and JJFMSI through the first quarter of 2000.
In connection with the Restructuring, in September 2000 a wholly owned
subsidiary of PMSI purchased 85% of the outstanding voting common stock of PMSI
which was held by Privatized Management Services Investors, LLC, an outside
entity controlled by a director of PMSI and her family, for a cash purchase
price of $8.0 million. In addition, PMSI and its wholly owned subsidiary paid
the chief manager of Privatized Management Services Investors, LLC $150,000 as
compensation for expenses incurred in connection with the transaction, as well
as $125,000 in consideration for the chief manager's agreement not to engage in
a business competitive to the business of PMSI for a period of one year
following the completion of the transaction. Also in connection with the
Restructuring, in September 2000 a wholly owned subsidiary of JJFMSI purchased
85% of the outstanding voting common stock of JJFMSI which was held by
Correctional Services Investors, LLC, an outside entity, for a cash purchase
price of $4.8 million. In addition, JJFMSI and its wholly owned subsidiary paid
the chief manager of Correctional Services Investors, LLC $250,000 for expenses
incurred in connection with the transaction.
It is currently anticipated that, following the attainment of necessary lender
and regulatory approval, each of PMSI and JJFMSI will merge with and into a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. As a result of these mergers, all
shares of PMSI and JJFMSI common stock held by the Company and certain
subsidiaries of PMSI and JJFMSI will be cancelled. The completion of the
mergers does not require the approval of the Company's stockholders. In the
proposed PMSI merger, the Company anticipates that it would issue shares of its
common stock to the wardens of the correctional and detention facilities
operated by PMSI who are the remaining shareholders of PMSI. It is expected
that the wardens would receive shares of the Company's common stock valued at
an aggregate of $550,000 in the merger in exchange for shares of PMSI common
stock held by such wardens. Shares of the Company's common stock owned by the
PMSI wardens would be subject to vesting and forfeiture provisions under a
restricted stock plan. In the proposed JJFMSI merger, the Company anticipates
that it would issue shares of its common stock to the wardens of the
correctional and detention facilities operated by JJFMSI who are the remaining
shareholders of JJFMSI. It is expected that the wardens would receive shares of
the Company's common stock valued at an aggregate of $687,500 in the merger in
exchange for shares of JJFMSI common stock held by such wardens. Shares of the
Company's common stock owned by the JJFMSI wardens would also be subject to
vesting and forfeiture provisions under a restricted stock plan.
As a part of the Restructuring, JJFMSI and its wholly owned subsidiary, CCA
(UK) Limited, a company incorporated in England and Wales ("CCA UK"), have
agreed to sell their 50% ownership interest in two international subsidiaries,
Corrections Corporation of Australia Pty. Ltd., an
51
53
Australian corporation ("CCA Australia"), and U.K. Detention Services Limited, a
company incorporated in England and Wales ("UKDS"), to Sodexho for a cash
purchase price of $6.4 million. Sodexho currently owns the remaining 50%
interest in each of CCA Australia and UKDS. JJFMSI and CCA UK agreed to sell the
shares of CCA Australia and UKDS to Sodexho, contingent on, among other things,
the parties obtaining the requisite consents of the appropriate authorities in
Australia and the United Kingdom for the transfer of the interests. The purchase
price of $6.4 million includes $5.0 million for the purchase of UKDS and $1.4
million for the purchase of CCA Australia. JJFMSI's book basis in UKDS is $3.2
million which will result in a $1.8 million gain upon the closing of the sale.
JJFMSI's book basis in CCA Australia is $5.0 million which results in a $3.6
million loss which has been recognized as of September 30, 2000. In connection
with the sale of JJFMSI's and CCA UK's interest in CCA Australia and UKDS to
Sodexho, Sodexho granted JJFMSI an option to repurchase a 25% interest in each
entity at any time prior to September 11, 2002 (i.e., 24 months from the date of
the agreement), assuming the stock purchases are completed. JJFMSI has the right
to repurchase a 25% interest in each entity for aggregate cash consideration of
$4.0 million if such option is exercised on or before February 11, 2002 (i.e.,
18 months from the date of the Option Agreement), and for aggregate cash
consideration of $4.2 million if such option is exercised after February 11,
2001 but prior to September 11, 2001.

As previously discussed in Note 4, the accompanying condensed combined and
consolidated financial statements reflect the combined results of operations of
PMSI and JJFMSI beginning September 1, 2000. As such, the Company's equity
earnings (losses) represent the proportionate share of their net income (loss)
through August 31. 2000. Equity in earnings (loss) of unconsolidated entities
and amortization of deferred gains was $(1.7) million and $7.2 million for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2000, respectively, and $7.0 million
and $22.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999,
respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2000, the Company
recognized equity losses of PMSI and JJFMSI of $4.2 million and $6.4 million,
respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, the Company
recognized equity losses of PMSI and JJFMSI of $2.0 million and $4.9 million,
respectively. The Company did not receive any distributions from PMSI and JJFMSI
for the three months ended September 30, 2000, and for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 of $4.4 and $2.3 million, respectively. For the three months
ended September 30, 2000, the Company recognized amortization of deferred gains
of PMSI and JJFMSI of $1.7 million and $0.9 million, respectively, and for the
nine months ended September 30, 2000 $5.3 million and $2.7 million,
respectively.
Under the terms of the Indemnification Agreements, effective September 29, 2000,
each of PMSI and JJFMSI agreed to pay the Company $6.0 million in exchange for a
full indemnity by the Company for any and all liabilities incurred by PMSI and
JJFMSI in connection with the settlement or disposition of litigation known as
Prison Acquisition Company, LLC v. Prison Realty Trust, Inc., et al described in
Note 12 herein. Pursuant to the terms of the Proposed Consent and Amendment, the
Company is seeking the consent of the requisite percentage of its senior lenders
under the Amended Credit Facility for the Indemnification Agreements. In the
event the Proposed Consent and Amendment is not obtained, the Company will be in
default under the terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. As a
result, PMSI and JJFMSI each recorded a charge of $6.0 million in the third
quarter and the Company reduced Merger Transaction Fees by $12.0 million.
17. RESTRUCTURING TRANSACTIONS
In order to address its current liquidity and capital constraints, the Company
entered into a series of agreements providing for the comprehensive
Restructuring of the Company. As a part of this Restructuring, the Company
entered into an agreement and plan of merger with Operating Company
53
55
on June 30, 2000, providing for the Operating Company Merger (the "Agreement
and Plan of Merger"). In connection with the Operating Company Merger, the
Company was required to amend certain provisions of its Charter to permit,
among other things, the Company's operation as a taxable subchapter C
corporation under the "Corrections Corporation of America" name. On September
12, 2000 the Company's stockholders approved the Agreement and Plan of Merger.
Stockholders also approved amendments to the Company's Charter to permit the
Restructuring of the Company, including its election not to be taxed as a REIT
for federal income tax purposes commencing with its 2000 taxable year.
Effective October 1, 2000, the Company and Operating Company completed the
Operating Company Merger in accordance with the Agreement and Plan of Merger.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, the Company issued
approximately 7,386,269 shares of its common stock to the holders of Operating
Company's common stock at the time of the completion of the Operating Company
Merger.
In connection with the completion of the Operating Company Merger, the Company
amended its Charter to, among other things, (i) remove provisions relating to
the Company's qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes
commencing with its 2000 taxable year, (ii) change its name to "Corrections
Corporation of America" and (iii) increase the amount of the Company's
authorized capital stock. Following the completion of the Restructuring, the
Company and its wholly owned subsidiary began operating collectively under the
"Corrections Corporation of America" name.
On October 1, 2000, immediately prior to the completion of the Operating
Company Merger, the Company purchased all of the shares of Operating Company's
voting common stock held by the Baron Asset Fund ("Baron") and Sodexho, the
holders of approximately 34% of the outstanding common stock of Operating
Company, for an aggregate of $16.0 million in non-cash consideration,
consisting of an aggregate of 11,347,518 shares of the Company's common stock.
In addition, the Company issued to Baron warrants to purchase 1,418,440 shares
of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share and
warrants to purchase 709,220 shares of the Company's common stock at an
exercise price of $1.41 per share in consideration for Baron's consent to the
Operating Company Merger. In addition, in the Operating Company Merger the
Company assumed the obligation to issue up to 990,767 shares of its common
stock, at a per share price of $3.28, pursuant to the exercise of warrants to
purchase common stock previously issued by Operating Company.
Also on October 1, 2000, immediately prior to the Operating Company Merger, the
Company purchased an aggregate of 100,000 shares of Operating Company's voting
common stock for $200,000 cash from D. Robert Crants, III and Michael W.
Devlin, former executive officers and directors of the Company, pursuant to the
terms of severance agreements between the Company and Messrs. Crants, III and
Devlin. The cash proceeds from the purchase of the shares of Operating
Company's voting common stock from Messrs. Crants, III and Devlin were used to
immediately repay a like portion of amounts outstanding under loans previously
granted to Messrs. Crants, III and Devlin by the Company. The Company also
purchased 300,000 shares of Operating Company's
54
56
voting common stock held by Doctor R. Crants, the former Chief Executive
Officer of the Company and Operating Company, for $600,000 cash. Under the
original terms of the severance agreements between the Company and each of
Messrs. Crants, III and Devlin, Operating Company was to make a $300,000
payment for the purchase of a portion of the shares of Operating Company's
voting common stock originally held by Messrs. Crants, III and Devlin on
December 31, 1999. However, as a result of restrictions on Operating Company's
ability to purchase these shares, the rights and obligations were assigned to
and assumed by Doctor R. Crants. In connection with this assignment, Mr. Crants
received a loan in the aggregate principal amount of $600,000 from PMSI, the
proceeds of which were used to purchase the 300,000 shares of Operating
Company's voting common stock owned by Messrs. Crants, III and Devlin. The cash
proceeds from the purchase by the Company of the shares of Operating Company's
voting common stock from Mr. Crants were used to immediately repay the $600,000
loan previously granted to Mr. Crants by PMSI.
As a result of the Restructuring, all existing Operating Company Leases were
cancelled. As a result of the Restructuring, the Trade Name Use Agreement, the
Business Development Agreement, the Services Agreement and the Tenant Incentive
Agreement were cancelled. In addition, all outstanding shares of Operating
Company's non-voting common stock, all of which shares were owned by the
Company, were cancelled in the Operating Company Merger.
Also in connection with the 1999 Merger, Operating Company executed the
Operating Company Note in the aggregate principal amount of $137.0 million. As
a result of the Restructuring, the Operating Company Note was assumed by the
Company's wholly owned subsidiary in the Operating Company Merger.
For a more complete description of the Restructuring and the Operating Company
Merger, please see the Company's definitive proxy materials dated July 31,
2000, as supplemented on September 5, 2000, each as filed with the Commission.

OVERVIEW
The Company was formed in September 1998 as Prison Realty Corporation and
commenced operations on January 1, 1999, following the mergers of the former
Corrections Corporation of America, a Tennessee corporation ("Old CCA"), and CCA
Prison Realty Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust ("Old Prison
Realty"), with and into the Company (the "1999 Merger"). As more fully discussed
in "Restructuring", effective October 1, 2000, the Company completed a series of
previously announced restructuring transactions (collectively, the
"Restructuring"). As part of the Restructuring, the Company's primary tenant,
Corrections Corporation of America, a privately-held Tennessee corporation
formerly known as Correctional Management Services Corporation ("Operating
Company"), was merged with and into a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company on
October 1, 2000 (the "Operating Company Merger"). In connection with the
Restructuring and the Operating Company Merger, the Company amended its Charter
to, among other things, remove provisions
56
58
relating to the Company's operation and qualification as a real estate
investment trust, or REIT, for federal income tax purposes commencing with its
2000 taxable year and change its name to "Corrections Corporation of America".
This Form 10-Q contains various financial information related to the Company
(formerly Prison Realty Trust, Inc.), and its two service subsidiaries, PMSI and
JJFMSI. The accompanying combined financial statements included on pages 2 - 8
of this Form 10-Q present the financial statements of the Company (formerly
Prison Realty Trust, Inc.) as of and for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2000 combined with the financial statements of PMSI and JJFMSI as
of and for the one month ended September 30, 2000. The accompanying consolidated
financial statements as of December 31, 1999 and for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 1999 have not been combined with the financial statements of
PMSI and JJFMSI. Please refer to Note 4 in the accompanying notes to financial
statements on pages 15 - 21 of this Form 10-Q for a complete description of the
combined financial statements and combining financial statement schedules
presenting the individual financial statements of the Company (formerly Prison
Realty Trust, Inc.), PMSI and JJFMSI.
This Form 10-Q also contains financial information related to the privately held
prison management company, Operating Company, as of and for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2000. Operating Company was merged with and into a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company on October 1, 2000, subsequent to the end
of the third quarter 2000. As a result, the financial information of Operating
Company is not included in the accompanying financial statements presented on
pages 2 - 8. Please refer to Note 14 in the accompanying notes to the financial
statements for summarized financial data of Operating Company and "Operating
Company Financial Information" contained in the Company's Management's
Discussion and Analysis on pages 69 - 72 for more detailed financial information
concerning Operating Company.
Since the 1999 Merger and through September 30, 2000, the Company had
specialized in acquiring, developing and owning correctional and detention
facilities. Operating Company has been a private prison management company that
operated and managed the substantial majority of facilities owned by the
Company. As a result of the 1999 Merger and certain contractual relationships
existing between the Company and Operating Company, the Company has been
dependent on Operating Company for a significant source of its income. In
addition, the Company paid Operating Company for services rendered to the
Company in the development of its correctional and detention facilities. See
the information contained in the Company's Form 10-K and "Operating Company
Financial Information" for a description of the historical contractual
relationships between the Company and Operating Company. As a result of
liquidity issues facing Operating Company and the Company, the parties amended
the contractual agreements between the Company and Operating Company during
2000. For a more complete description of these amendments, see "Operating
Company Financial Information".
As required by its governing instruments, the Company operated and has elected
to be taxed as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, for federal income tax
purposes with respect to its taxable year ended December 31, 1999. In connection
with the completion of the Restructuring (as more fully discussed in
"Restructuring"), on September 12, 2000, the Company's stockholders approved an
amendment to the Company's Charter to remove the requirements that the Company
elect to be taxed and qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes
commencing with the Company's 2000 taxable year. As such, the Company will
operate and be taxed as a subchapter C corporation with respect to its taxable
year ended December 31, 2000 and thereafter.
As the result of the acquisition of Operating Company on October 1, 2000 and the
expected acquisition of PMSI and JJFMSI during the fourth quarter of 2000, the
Company now specializes in owning, operating and managing prisons and other
correctional facilities and providing prisoner transportation services for
governmental agencies. The Company will provide a full range of related services
to governmental agencies, including managing, designing and constructing new
facilities and redesigning and renovating older facilities.
FINANCIAL CONDITION OF THE COMPANY AND AMENDMENTS TO OPERATING COMPANY LEASES
AND OTHER AGREEMENTS
The Company incurred a net loss for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2000 of $251.1 million and $351.0 million, respectively, and had a net
working capital deficiency of $1.2 billion at September 30, 2000. In June 2000,
the Company obtained waivers of previously existing events of default under, and
amendments to, the provisions of its Amended Bank Credit Facility, as
hereinafter defined (the "June 2000 Waiver and Amendment") and its convertible
subordinated notes to permit the Restructuring and the amendments to the
Operating Company Leases and the other contractual arrangements
57
59
between the Company and Operating Company. At September 30, 2000, the Company
was not in compliance with certain applicable financial covenants contained in
the amended and restated credit agreement governing the Company's Amended Bank
Credit Facility (the "Amended and Restated Credit Agreement"), including: (i)
debt service coverage ratio; (ii) interest coverage ratio; (iii) leverage ratio;
and (iv) net worth. The Company is required to provide Lehman Commercial Paper
Inc., the administrative agent of the Amended Bank Credit Facility ("Lehman"), a
certificate on a quarterly demonstrating compliance with the then-applicable
financial covenants contained in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
within 45 calendar days after the close of each fiscal quarter, subject to an
applicable grace period of five additional calendar days. As a result, if the
financial covenants described above are not amended on or before November 17,
2000, an event of default will arise under the terms of the Amended Bank Credit
Facility. As more fully described in "Debt Structure-Proposed Consent and
Amendment to the Company's Amended and Restated Credit Agreement", the Company
has initiated the process of soliciting the approval and consent of the
requisite percentage of the senior lenders to amend the terms of the Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement to replace certain existing financial covenants
contained therein and to permit certain additional transactions by the Company,
as described in "Debt Structure-Proposed Consent and Amendment to the Company's
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement" (the "Proposed Consent and Amendment").
There can be no assurance, however, that the Proposed Consent and Amendment will
be obtained on or before November 17, 2000 and that, as a result, the Company
will not be in default under the terms of the Amended Bank Credit Facility, its
12.0% notes or its convertible subordinated notes.
Prior to September 30, 2000, the Company's business was the ownership,
development and leasing of correctional and detention facilities to qualified
third parties and government agencies. As the lessor of correctional and
detention facilities, the Company has been dependent upon the ability of its
tenants to make lease payments to the Company. Operating Company has been the
lessee of a substantial majority of the Company's facilities. Prior to
September 30, 2000, Operating Company leased 35 of the 44 correctional and
detention facilities owned by the Company. In addition, the Company owns two
office buildings, one leased to Operating Company and one leased to TransCor
America, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Operating Company ("TransCor").
Therefore, the Company has been dependent for a substantial portion of its
revenues on Operating Company's ability to make the lease payments required
under its lease arrangements with Operating Company (the "Operating Company
Leases") for such facilities.
Operating Company incurred a net loss of $77.5 million and $216.9 million for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000, respectively, and had a net
working capital deficiency and a net capital deficiency at September 30, 2000.
Due to Operating Company's liquidity position, Operating Company was unable to
make timely rental payments to the Company under the original terms of the
Operating Company Leases and had been required to defer all scheduled payments
of accrued interest on the $137.0 million promissory note payable by Operating
Company to the Company (the "Operating Company Note") as more fully discussed
herein.
The Company and Operating Company had previously amended the original terms of
the Operating Company Leases to defer, with interest, rental payments
originally due to the Company during the
58
60
period from January 2000 to June 2000 until September 30, 2000, with the
exception of certain scheduled payments. Pursuant to the terms of this
amendment, Operating Company agreed to pay interest on such deferred rental
payments, at an annual rate equal to the current non-default rate of interest
applicable to Operating Company's revolving credit facility (subject to
adjustment if and to the extent that such rate of interest under such existing
revolving credit facility was adjusted) from the date such payment would have
been payable under the original terms of the Operating Company Leases until the
date such payment was actually paid. Operating Company's obligation to make
payments under the Operating Company Leases was not secured by any of the
assets of Operating Company, although the obligations under the Operating
Company Leases were cross- defaulted so that the Company could terminate all of
the Operating Company Leases if Operating Company failed to make required lease
payments.
Immediately prior to the Operating Company Merger, the Company and Operating
Company entered into agreements pursuant to which the Company forgave all
unpaid amounts due and payable to the Company through August 31, 2000, totaling
approximately $226.1 million, related to the Operating Company Leases, the
interest due on the unpaid Operating Company Leases balances and the interest
accrued on the Operating Company Note. See "Restructuring" for a more complete
discussion of the agreement to forgive these unpaid balances.
As of December 31, 1999, Operating Company was in default under the provisions
of its revolving credit facility, although such events of default were waived
subsequent to December 31, 1999. On September 15, 2000, Operating Company
replaced its revolving credit facility with a new revolving credit facility, as
further described in "Debt Structure-Operating Company Revolving Credit
Facility", and was in compliance with the provisions of its new revolving
credit facility as of November 14, 2000.
As a result of Operating Company's financial and liquidity condition, the
independent public accountants of Operating Company indicated in their opinion
on Operating Company's 1999 consolidated financial statements that there is
substantial doubt about Operating Company's ability to continue as a going
concern. Matters such as continued operating losses by Operating Company,
declarations of events of default by the Company's and Operating Company's
creditors, the inability of Operating Company to make contractual payments to
the Company under the original terms of such agreements and the Company's
limited resources available to meet its operating, capital expenditure and debt
service requirements have had a material adverse impact on the Company's
combined and consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash
flows. The Company's independent public accountants indicated in their opinion
on the Company's 1999 consolidated financial statements that there is
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The condensed combined and consolidated financial statements do not include any
adjustments relating to the recoverability of asset carrying amounts or the
amounts of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to
continue as a going concern.
In order to address certain of the liquidity issues facing both the Company and
Operating Company, effective October 1, 2000, the Company completed certain
elements of the Restructuring and the
59
61
Operating Company Merger, as more fully discussed in "Restructuring". As a
result of the Restructuring and the Operating Company Merger on October 1,
2000, the existing Operating Company Leases were cancelled. Although the
Company has completed certain elements of the Restructuring and completed the
Operating Company Merger, thereby simplifying the corporate structure and
relationship between Operating Company and the Company, the Company has limited
resources currently available to it to meet its operating, capital and debt
service requirements. As a result, the Company currently is, and will continue
to be, dependent on its ability to borrow funds under the terms of its Amended
Bank Credit Facility, as hereinafter defined, to meet these requirements.
Subject to the obtainment of the Proposed Consent and Amendment, the Company
believes that it will have sufficient resources to meet its operating, capital
and debt service requirements. There is no assurance, however, that the Company
will obtain the Proposed Consent and Amendment.
Management is currently developing a plan to improve operating profits as well
as address the overall financial condition of the Company including, but not
limited to: (i) the potential refinancing of all or a portion of the Company's
borrowings; (ii) capital raising transactions; (iii) renegotiating the operating
management contracts with customers of Operating Company, PMSI, and JJFMSI ;
(iv) cost containment strategies; (iv) potential asset divestitures; and (v)
refining the Company's financial projections. The implementation of this plan
could result in significant cash and noncash charges to the Company's statement
of operations in future periods including but not limited to: losses on
disposition of assets, asset impairment charges, write-off of unamortized debt
issuance costs, costs incurred in the issuance of debt or equity, employee
severance costs, and professional fees.
AMENDMENTS TO OPERATING COMPANY LEASES AND OTHER AGREEMENTS
In an effort to address the liquidity needs of Operating Company prior to the
completion of the Restructuring, and as permitted by the terms of the June 2000
Waiver and Amendment to the Company's Amended Bank Credit Facility, the Company
and Operating Company amended the terms of the Operating Company Leases in June
2000. As a result of this amendment, lease payments under the Operating Company
Leases were due and payable on June 30 and December 31 of each year, instead of
monthly. In addition, the Company and Operating Company agreed to defer, with
interest, and with the exception of certain scheduled payments, the first
semi-annual rental payment under the revised terms of the Operating Company
Leases, due June 30, 2000, until September 30, 2000.
As of September 29, 2000, the Company forgave all unpaid amounts due and
payable to the Company through August 31, 2000 related to the Operating Company
Lease, including unpaid interest, as further described in "Restructuring".
In connection with the amendments to the Operating Company Leases deferring a
substantial portion of the rental payments due to the Company thereunder, the
terms of the June 2000 Waiver and Amendment to the Company's Amended Bank
Credit Facility conditioned the effectiveness of the June 2000 Waiver and
Amendment upon the deferral of the Company's payment of fees to Operating
60
62
Company which would otherwise be payable pursuant to the terms of the Amended
and Restated Tenant Incentive Agreement, the Business Development Agreement and
the Amended and Restated Services Agreement, each as hereinafter defined. The
Company and Operating Company deferred, with interest, the payment of such
amounts. The terms of Operating Company's revolving credit facility, as amended
pursuant to the terms of a waiver obtained from the lenders under the revolving
credit facility, permitted the deferral of these payments. In connection with
the Restructuring, the Operating Company Leases were cancelled, as more fully
described in "Restructuring".
During 2000, the Company has recognized rental income, net of reserves, from
Operating Company based on the actual cash payments received. In addition, the
Company has continued to record its obligations to Operating Company under the
various agreements discussed above.
See "Restructuring" for a more complete description of the Restructuring of the
Company as part of Management's ongoing efforts to address its current
liquidity and capital constraints.
RESTRUCTURING
In order to address its current liquidity and capital constraints, the Company
entered into a series of agreements providing for the comprehensive
Restructuring of the Company. As a part of this Restructuring, the Company
entered into an agreement and plan of merger with Operating Company on June 30,
2000, providing for the Operating Company Merger (the "Agreement and Plan of
Merger"). In connection with the Operating Company Merger, the Company was
required to amend certain provisions of its Charter to permit, among other
things, the Company's operation as a taxable subchapter C corporation under the
"Corrections Corporation of America" name. On September 12, 2000 the Company's
stockholders approved the Agreement and Plan of Merger. Stockholders also
approved amendments to the Company's Charter to permit the Restructuring of the
Company, including its election not to be taxed as a REIT for federal income
tax purposes commencing with its 2000 taxable year.
Effective October 1, 2000, the Company and Operating Company completed the
Operating Company Merger in accordance with the Agreement and Plan of Merger.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, the Company issued
approximately 7,386,269 shares of its common stock to the holders of Operating
Company's common stock at the time of the completion of the Operating Company
Merger.
In connection with the completion of the Operating Company Merger, the Company
amended its Charter to, among other things, (i) remove provisions relating to
the Company's qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes
commencing with its 2000 taxable year, (ii) change its name to "Corrections
Corporation of America" and (iii) increase the amount of the Company's
authorized capital stock. Following the completion of the Restructuring, the
Company and its wholly owned subsidiary began operating collectively under the
"Corrections Corporation of America" name.
61
63
On October 1, 2000, immediately prior to the completion of the Operating
Company Merger, the Company purchased all of the shares of Operating Company's
voting common stock held by the Baron Asset Fund ("Baron") and Sodexho
Alliance, S.A. ("Sodexho"), the holders of approximately 34% of the outstanding
common stock of Operating Company, for an aggregate of $16.0 million in
non-cash consideration, consisting of an aggregate of 11,347,518 shares of the
Company's common stock. In addition, the Company issued to Baron warrants to
purchase 1,418,440 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of
$0.01 per share and warrants to purchase 709,220 shares of the Company's common
stock at an exercise price of $1.41 per share in consideration for Baron's
consent to the Operating Company Merger. In addition, in the Operating Company
Merger the Company assumed the obligation to issue up to 990,767 shares of its
common stock, at a per share price of $3.28, pursuant to the exercise of
warrants to purchase common stock previously issued by Operating Company.
Also on October 1, 2000, immediately prior to the Operating Company Merger, the
Company purchased an aggregate of 100,000 shares of Operating Company's voting
common stock for $200,000 cash from D. Robert Crants, III and Michael W.
Devlin, former executive officers and directors of the Company, pursuant to the
terms of severance agreements between the Company and Messrs. Crants, III and
Devlin. The cash proceeds from the purchase of the shares of Operating
Company's voting common stock from Messrs. Crants, III and Devlin were used to
immediately repay a like portion of amounts outstanding under loans previously
granted to Messrs. Crants, III and Devlin by the Company. The Company also
purchased 300,000 shares of Operating Company's voting common stock held by
Doctor R. Crants, the former Chief Executive Officer of the Company and
Operating Company, for $600,000 cash. Under the original terms of the severance
agreements between the Company and each of Messrs. Crants, III and Devlin,
Operating Company was to make a $300,000 payment for the purchase of a portion
of the shares of Operating Company's voting common stock originally held by
Messrs. Crants, III and Devlin on December 31, 1999. However, as a result of
restrictions on Operating Company's ability to purchase these shares, the
rights and obligations were assigned to and assumed by Doctor R. Crants. In
connection with this assignment, Mr. Crants received a loan in the aggregate
principal amount of $600,000 from PMSI, the proceeds of which were used to
purchase the 300,000 shares of Operating Company's voting common stock owned by
Messrs. Crants, III and Devlin. The cash proceeds from the purchase by the
Company of the shares of Operating Company's voting common stock from Mr.
Crants were used to immediately repay the $600,000 loan previously granted to
Mr. Crants by PMSI.
As a result of the Restructuring, all existing Operating Company Leases were
cancelled. As a result of the Restructuring, the Trade Name Use Agreement, the
Business Development Agreement, the Services Agreement and the Tenant Incentive
Agreement were cancelled. In addition, all outstanding shares of Operating
Company's non-voting common stock, all of which shares were owned by the
Company, were cancelled in the Operating Company Merger.
In connection with the 1999 Merger, Operating Company executed the Operating
Company Note in the aggregate principal amount of $137.0 million. As a result of
the Restructuring, the
62
64
Operating Company Note was assumed by the Company's wholly owned subsidiary in
the Operating Company Merger.
For a more complete description of the Restructuring and the Operating Company
Merger, please see the Company's definitive proxy materials dated July 31,
2000, as supplemented on September 5, 2000, each as filed with the Commission.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This Form 10-Q contains various financial information related to the Company
(formerly Prison Realty Trust, Inc.), and its two service subsidiaries, PMSI and
JJFMSI. The accompanying combined financial statements included on pages 3 - 9
of this Form 10-Q present the financial statements of the Company (formerly
Prison Realty Trust, Inc.) as of and for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2000 combined with the financial statements of PMSI and JJFMSI as
of and for the one month ended September 30, 2000. The accompanying consolidated
financial statements as of December 31, 1999 and for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 1999 have not been combined with the financial statements of
PMSI and JJFMSI. Please refer to Note 4 in the accompanying notes to financial
statements on pages 15 - 22 of this Form 10-Q for a complete description of the
combined financial statements and combining financial statement schedules
presenting the individual financial statements of the Company (formerly Prison
Realty Trust, Inc.), PMSI and JJFMSI.
This Form 10-Q also contains financial information related to the privately held
prison management company, Operating Company, as of and for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2000. Operating Company was merged with and into a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company on October 1, 2000, subsequent to the end
of the third quarter 2000. As a result, the financial information of Operating
Company is not included in the accompanying financial statements presented on
pages 3 - 9. Please refer to Note 14 in the accompanying notes to the financial
statements for summarized financial data of Operating Company and "Operating
Company Financial Information" contained in the Company's Management's
Discussion and Analysis on pages 69 - 72 for more detailed financial information
concerning Operating Company.
The Company incurred a net loss for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2000 of $251.1 million and $351.0 million, respectively, and had a net
working capital deficiency of $1.2 billion at September 30, 2000. In June 2000,
the Company obtained the June 2000 Waiver and Amendment to the Amended Bank
Credit Facility and waivers and amendments to its convertible subordinated notes
to permit the Restructuring and the amendments to the Operating Company Leases
and the other contractual arrangements between the Company and Operating
Company. At September 30, 2000, the Company was not in compliance with certain
applicable financial covenants contained in the Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement, including: (i) debt service coverage ratio; (ii) interest coverage
ratio; (iii) leverage ratio; and (iv) net worth. The Company is required to
provide Lehman a certificate on a quarterly basis demonstrating compliance with
the then-applicable financial covenants contained in the Amended and Restated
Credit Agreement within 45 calendar days after the close of each
63
65
fiscal quarter, subject to an applicable grace period of five additional
calendar days. As a result, if the financial covenants described above are not
amended on or before November 17, 2000, an event of default will arise under the
terms of the Amended Bank Credit Facility. As more fully described in "Debt
Structure-Potential Events of Default and Proposed Consent and Amendment to the
Company's Amended and Restated Credit Agreement", the Company has initiated the
process of soliciting the approval of the requisite percentage of the senior
lenders with respect to the Proposed Consent and Amendment. There can be no
assurance, however, that the Proposed Consent and Amendment will be obtained on
or before November 17, 2000 and that, as a result, the Company will not be in
default under the terms of the Amended Bank Credit Facility, its 12.0% senior
notes or its convertible subordinated notes.
Continued operating losses by Operating Company, past declarations of events of
default by the Company's and Operating Company's creditors, the inability of
Operating Company to make contractual payments to the Company under the original
terms of such agreements, and the Company's limited resources available to meet
its operating, capital expenditure and debt service requirements have had a
material adverse impact on the Company's consolidated financial position,
results of operations and cash flows. These matters concerning the Company and
Operating Company raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern. The Company's independent public accountants
indicated in their opinion on the Company's 1999 consolidated financial
statements that there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern.
THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000, AS COMPARED TO THE THREE
AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999
Management Revenues. Management revenues consists of revenues earned by PMSI
and JJFMSI from the operating and managing of adult prison and jails and
juvenile detention facilities for the month of September.
Rental Revenues. Net rental revenues were $15.5 million and $38.4 million for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000, respectively, and were
generated from the leasing of correctional and detention facilities by the
Company. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000, the Company
reserved $69.5 million and $213.3 million, respectively, of the $82.5 million
and $244.3 million, respectively, of gross rental revenues due from Operating
Company resulting from the uncertainty regarding the collectibility of the
payments. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999, rental
revenues were $67.1 million and $196.5 million, respectively. The Company
recorded no rental revenue reserves during the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1999. The increase in gross rental revenues is related to the
completion of new and expansion of existing correctional and detention
facilities and the corresponding execution of new leases. During September
2000, all unpaid rental payments due from Operating Company as of August 31,
2000 (totaling $190.8 million) were forgiven by the Company. The forgiveness
did not impact the Company's financial statements as the amounts forgiven had
been previously reserved. All existing
64
66
leases between the Company and Operating Company were cancelled in connection
with the Operating Company Merger.
As of November 14, 2000, the Company has received cash payments from Operating
Company for all of the net rental revenues that have been recognized for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 related to the Operating Company
Leases.
As of November 14, 2000, $1.4 million of accrued interest on the Operating
Company Note remains unpaid.
Trade Name Use Agreement Revenue. Trade name use agreement revenues were $2.3
million and $7.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2000, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999, the
Company recognized trade name use agreement revenue of $2.2 million and $6.5
million, respectively. The trade name use agreement revenues were earned as a
result of a service mark and trade name use agreement (the "Trade Name Use
Agreement") between the Company and Operating Company, which granted Operating
Company the right to use the name "Corrections Corporation of America" and
derivatives thereof subject to specified terms and conditions therein. The fee
is based upon gross revenues of Operating Company, subject to a limitation of
2.75% of the gross revenues of the Company. The increase in trade name use
agreement revenue in 2000 in relation to 1999 is due to increases in the
Company's gross revenues, on which the licensing fee is based, during the
applicable periods. The Trade Name Use Agreement between the Company and
Operating Company was cancelled in connection with the Operating Company
Merger.
As of November 14, 2000, the Company has received cash payments from Operating
Company for all of the trade name use agreement revenue that have been
recognized for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000.
Operating Expenses. All operating expenses consist of costs incurred by PMSI
and JJFMSI in operating and managing prisons and other correctional facilities
for the month of September 2000. Operating expenses associated with managing
the facilities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 totaled
$25.3 million and $25.4 million, respectively. Also included in operating
expenses are the Company's realized losses on foreign currency transactions of
$0.2 million and $0.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2000. This resulted from a detrimental fluctuation in the foreign currency
exchange rate upon the collection of receivables denominated in British pounds.
See Foreign Currency Transaction Loss for further discussion of these
receivables.
65
67
Trade Name Use Agreement. All trade name use expenses are recognized under the
terms of a Service Mark and Trade Name Use Agreement between PMSI and JJFMSI and
Operating Company. Under the terms of this agreement, PMSI and JJFMSI are
required to pay two percent of gross management revenues for the use of the
Operating Company name and mark. For the month of September 2000, PMSI and
JFFMSI recognized expense of $0.5 million.
Lease Expense. Lease expense consists of office and operating equipment leased
by PMSI and JJFMSI in operating and managing prisons and other correctional
facilities. Lease expense for the month of September 2000 totaled $0.3 million.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation expense was $15.4 million and $41.8
million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000, respectively.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999, depreciation expense was
$11.2 million and $31.6 million, respectively. Depreciation and amortization
expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 includes one
month of deprecation and amortization expense of PMSI and JJFMSI, totaling $0.9
million and $0.5 million, respectively. The increase in depreciation expense
primarily relates to a greater number of correctional and detention facilities
in service. The Company generally uses the straight-line depreciation method
over 50 and five year lives for buildings and machinery and equipment,
respectively.
Administrative Services Fee. For the month of September 2000, each of PMSI and
JJFMSI paid Operating Company $0.9 million for management and general and
administrative services which primarily relate to an administrative services
agreement with Operating Company.
General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expenses were
$5.1 million and $11.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2000, respectively, as compared to $2.0 million and $4.6 million for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 1999, respectively. General and
administrative for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 includes
one month of general and administrative expenses of PMSI and JJFMSI totaling
approximately $.1 million and approximately $.1 million, respectively. General
and administrative expenses consist primarily of management salaries and
benefits, professional fees, and other administrative costs. The increase from
1999 to 2000 resulted primarily from increases in professional fees and
franchise taxes. In addition, during the three months ended September 30, 2000,
the Company expensed the unamortized portion of deferred stock related to the
termination of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Secretary, totaling
$2.0 million.
Write Off of Amounts Under Lease Arrangements. During 2000, the Company opened
or expanded five facilities that are operated and leased by Operating Company.
Based on Operating Company's financial condition, as well as the proposed merger
with Operating Company and the proposed termination of the Operating Company
Leases in connection therewith, the Company wrote-off the tenant incentive fees
due Operating Company on these facilities, totaling $3.5 million and $11.9
million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000, respectively.
66
68
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999, tenant incentive fees
paid to Operating Company were capitalized. However, during the fourth quarter
of 1999, the Company wrote-off the $65.7 million of unamortized tenant incentive
fees paid to Operating Company, which included $6.1 million and $51.0 million of
tenant incentive fees that had been previously paid to Operating Company and
capitalized by the Company during the three and nine months ended September 30,
1999, respectively.
As of November 14, 2000, $11.9 million in tenant incentive fees remain unpaid.
Impairment Loss. Included in Property and Equipment are approximately 268 acres
of land in California and approximately 83 acres in Maryland and the District of
Columbia. During the third quarter of 2000, the Company's management determined
not to pursue further development of these properties and to list these
properties for sale. The Company has reduced the carrying values of the land to
their approximate net realizable value ($1.5 million as of September 30, 2000),
resulting in a charge of $19.2 million for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2000.
Equity In Earnings of Unconsolidated Entities and Amortization of Deferred
Gains. Equity in earnings (loss) of unconsolidated entities and amortization of
deferred gains was $1.7 million and $(7.2) million for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2000, respectively, and $7.0 million and $22.1 million for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999, respectively. The decrease
in 2000 in relation to 1999 is due to reduced equity in earnings of PMSI and
JJFMSI. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000, the Company
recognized equity losses of PMSI of $2.2 million and $0, respectively, as
compared to earnings of $1.9 million and $5.9 million for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1999. For the three and nine months ended September
30, 2000, the Company recognized equity losses of JJFMSI of $2.3 million and
$0.8 million, respectively, as compared to earnings of $8.2 million and $2.4
million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999. The reduced
equity in earnings of PMSI and JJFMSI relates to reduced net income of these
entities as a result of increased costs in connection with new trade name use
agreements and increased payments under the Administrative Service Agreements
with Operating Company.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000, the Company received
distributions from PMSI of $0 and $4.4 million, respectively, as compared to
$3.8 million and $7.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30,
1999. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 the Company
received distributions from JJFMSI of $0 and $2.3 million, respectively, as
compared to $3.6 million and $7.5 million for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1999.
Interest Expense, net. Interest expense, net is reported net of interest income
and capitalized interest for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000
and 1999. Gross interest expense was $39.1 million and $105.5 million for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2000, respectively. For the three and
nine months ended September 30, 1999, gross interest expense was $11.6 million
and $26.9 million, respectively. Gross interest expense is based on outstanding
convertible notes payable balances, borrowings under the Company's amended bank
credit facility, and the
67
69
Company's senior notes, including amortization of loan costs and unused fees.
Interest expense is reported net of capitalized interest on construction in
progress of $0.01 million and $9.3 million for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2000, respectively. Capitalized interest for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1999, was $12.7 million and $29.1 million,
respectively. The increase in gross interest expense relates to (i) higher
average debt balances outstanding, primarily related to the bank credit
facility, (ii) increased interest rates due to rising market rates and the
amendment and restatement of the Company's bank credit facility in August 1999,
(iii) increased interest rates due to the accrual of default interest on
Company's bank credit facility and default and contingent interest on the $40
million convertible notes during 2000, and (iv) less capitalized interest as a
result of fewer ongoing construction and development projects.
Gross interest income was $3.3 million and $10.0 million for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2000, respectively. For the three and nine months
ended September 30, 1999, gross interest income was $5.7 million and $17.7
million, respectively. Gross interest income is earned on the Operating Company
Note, cash used to collateralize letters of credit for certain construction
projects, direct financing leases and investments of cash prior to the funding
of construction projects.
The decrease in gross interest income in 2000 in relation to 1999 is due
primarily to reserves recorded by the Company on gross interest income on the
Operating Company Note. As previously disclosed, all interest accrued on the
Operating Company Note through August 31, 2000 by the Company (totaling $27.4
million) was forgiven. This forgiveness did not impact the Company's financial
statements as the amounts forgiven had been previously reserved. The Company has
fully reserved the $1.4 million of interest accrued for the month of September
2000. During the fourth quarter of 1999, the Company reserved the $16.4 million
of interest accrued under the terms of the Operating Company Note during 1999,
which included the interest previously recognized during the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1999.
Other Income. Other income for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2000 totaled $3.1 million and $3.1 million, respectively. On September 27, 2000
the Company received approximately $4.5 million in final settlement of amounts
held in escrow related to the 1998 acquisition of the outstanding capital stock
of U.S. Corrections Corporation. The $3.1 million represents the proceeds, net
of miscellaneous receivables arising from claims against the escrow.
Strategic Investor Fees. In April 2000, the Company terminated its
previously-existing agreement with a group of investors led by the
Fortress/Blackstone investor group ("Fortress/Blackstone") regarding a series of
previously-announced restructuring transactions in favor of a restructuring led
by Pacific Life Insurance Company ("Pacific Life"). In June 2000, the Company
terminated its agreement with Pacific Life. In connection with the proposed
restructuring transactions with Fortress/Blackstone and Pacific Life and the
completion of the Restructuring, including the Operating Company Merger, the
Company terminated the services of one of its financial advisors during the
third quarter of 2000. Under the terms of the Company's agreement with its
financial advisor, the Company may be required to pay the advisor approximately
$5.0 million as a fee for investment advisory services. The Company is currently
reviewing obligations under such agreement. The securities purchase agreement
entered into by the Company in connection with the Fortress/Blackstone-led
restructuring states that, based on certain conditions, the Company may be
obligated to pay to Fortress/Blackstone a $15.7 million commitment fee and a
$7.5 million transaction termination fee. In connection with both the
Fortress/Blackstone and Pacific Life restructurings, the Company may also be
obligated to reimburse these parties for certain expenses incurred. As of
September 30, 2000, the Company has expensed approximately $32.9 million in
68
70
strategic investor fees in connection with the termination of the financial
advisor restructuring transaction agreement.
Unrealized Foreign Currency Transaction Loss. In connection with the
construction and development of the Company's HMP Forrest Bank facility, located
in Salford, England, during the first quarter of 2000, the Company entered into
a 25-year property lease. The Company is accounting for the lease as a direct
financing lease and recognized a receivable equal to the discounted cash flows
to be received by the Company over the lease term (54.1 million British pounds
at September 30, 2000). The Company also has extended a working capital loan to
the operator of this facility (3.2 million British pounds at September 30,
2000). These assets along with various other short-term receivables are
denominated in British pounds; consequently, the Company must adjust these
receivables to the current exchange rate and recognize the currency gain or loss
in its current period earnings. As a result, the Company recognized unrealized
foreign currency transaction losses of $2.0 million and $9.4 million for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2000, respectively. Realized losses of
$0.2 million and $0.3 million for the three and nine months ending September 30,
2000 are included in operating expenses. The foreign currency transaction losses
during the nine months ended September 30, 2000 are due to a significant
detrimental fluctuation in the currency exchange rate between the British pound
and the U.S. dollar.
The Company has not hedged its exposure to these foreign currency exchange rate
fluctuations.
Loss on Disposal of Assets. The loss on the disposal of property is $3.0 million
and $3.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000,
respectively. During the third quarter, JJFMSI entered into an agreement with
Sodexho to sell a 50% interest in CC Australia (See Note 16). As a result JJFMSI
recognized a $3.6 million loss. This is offset by a gain of $0.6 million
resulting from the sale of a correctional facility recognized by the Company.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999, the loss relates to a
settlement with the State of South Carolina for a property previously owned by
Old CCA.
Stockholder Litigation Settlements. During the third quarter of 2000, the
Company entered into definitive settlement agreements regarding the settlement
of all outstanding stockholder litigation against the Company and certain of its
existing and former directors and executive officers. The definitive settlement
agreements provide that the Company will pay or issue the plaintiffs an
aggregate of: (i) approximately $47.5 million in cash payable solely from the
proceeds under certain insurance policies; and (ii) approximately $75.4 million
in shares of the Company's common stock. For the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2000, the Company has accrued $75.4 million related to the future
issuance of Company common stock.
Write Off of Loan Costs. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999,
the Company incurred a write off of loan costs of approximately $9.0 million in
connection with the amendment of the Amended Bank Credit Facility on August 4,
1999.

Provision for Change in Tax Status. In connection with the Restructuring, on
September 12, 2000 the Company's stockholders approved an amendment to the
Company's Charter to remove provisions requiring the Company to qualify as a
REIT for federal income tax purposes effective January 1, 2000. Prior to the
amendment to the Company's Charter, the Company has operated so as to qualify as
a REIT and, as discussed in "Commitments and Contingencies", the Company elected
REIT status for its taxable year ended December 31, 1999. However, subsequent to
the amendment to the Company's Charter, the Company intends to be taxed as a
subchapter C corporation beginning with its taxable year ending December 31,
2000. In accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 109, the Company is required to establish current and
deferred tax assets and liabilities in its financial statements in the period in
which a change of tax status occurs. As such, the Company's financial
statements, prior to combining with PMSI and JJFMSI, as of and for the three
months ending September 30, 2000, reflect an income tax provision of $117.7
million primarily related to the change in tax status and additional reserves
for ongoing Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") audit issues.
Prior to January 1, 1999, Old CCA, the Company's predecessor, was a taxable
subchapter C corporation. As of December 31, 1998, the Company's balance sheet
reflected $83.2 million in gross deferred tax assets. In connection with the
1999 Merger, the Company changed its federal income tax status from a subchapter
C corporation to a REIT. In accordance with SFAS No. 109, the Company provided a
provision for these deferred tax assets, excluding any estimated tax liabilities
required for prior tax periods, upon completion of the 1999 Merger in January
1999 and the election to be taxed as a REIT. As such, the Company's results of
operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 reflect a provision for
change in tax status of $83.2 million.

Transactions with Operating Company. In connection with the 1999 Merger, Old CCA
received the $137.0 million Operating Company Note. The Company succeeded to the
Operating Company Note as a result of the 1999 Merger. Interest on the Operating
Company Note is payable annually at the rate of 12.0%. Interest only is payable
for the first four years of the Operating Company Note. Principal is due in six
equal annual installments of approximately $22.8 million, beginning December 31,
2003. In addition, Operating Company currently is prohibited, under the terms of
its bank credit facility, from making scheduled interest payments under the
terms of the Operating Company Note. The Company forgave $27.4 million of
interest accrued under the terms of the Operating Company Note from January 1,
1999 to August 31, 2000. The Company has fully reserved the $1.4 million of
interest accrued for the month of September 2000.
During the month ended December 31, 1999 and the nine months ended September 30,
2000, Operating Company has failed to make timely contractual payments under the
terms of the Operating Company Leases. As of December 31, 1999, approximately
$24.9 million of rents due from Operating Company to the Company were unpaid.
The original terms of the Operating Company
73
75
Leases provide that rental payments were due and payable on December 25, 1999.
As of November 14, 2000, Operating Company has paid the $24.9 million of lease
payments related to 1999 and $31.0 million of lease payments related to 2000.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000, the Company recognized
rental revenue from Operating Company of $82.5 million and $244.3 million,
respectively, and recorded a reserve of $69.5 million and $213.3 million,
respectively, resulting in recognition of net rental revenue from Operating
Company of $13.0 million and $31.0 million, respectively. The reserve was
recorded due to the uncertainty regarding the collectibility of the revenue. The
Company forgave the unpaid rental payments of $190.8 million as of August 31,
2000. The Company has fully reserved the $22.5 million of rental payments due
for the month of September 2000.
The Operating Company Leases were amended to defer, with interest, rental
payments originally due during the period from January 2000 to September 2000,
with the exception of certain installment payments. For the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2000, the Company accrued and reserved $0.5 million
and $8.0 million, respectively, of interest due to the Company on unpaid lease
payments. The Company forgave the interest due on the unpaid lease payments of
$7.9 million as of August 31, 2000. For the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1999, the Company recognized rental revenue from Operating Company
of $64.7 million and $189.4 million, respectively. The Company cancelled the
Operating Company Leases in connection with the Operating Company Merger.
For the year ended December 1999, the Company had paid tenant incentive fees
under the terms of an amended and restated tenant incentive agreement (the
"Amended and Restated Tenant Incentive Agreement") of $68.6 million, with $2.9
million of those fees amortized against rental revenues. During the fourth
quarter of 1999, the Company undertook a plan that contemplated either merging
with Operating Company and thereby eliminating the Operating Company Leases or
amending the Operating Company Leases to reduce the lease payments to be paid by
Operating Company to the Company during 2000. Consequently, the Company
determined that the remaining deferred tenant incentive fees under the existing
lease arrangements at December 31, 1999 were not realizable and wrote off fees
totaling $65.7 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, the
Company opened two facilities and expanded three facilities that are operated
and leased by Operating Company. The Company expensed the tenant incentive fees
due Operating Company in 2000, totaling $11.9 million, but has made no payments
to Operating Company in 2000 with respect to this agreement. On June 9, 2000,
Operating Company and the Company amended the Amended and Restated Tenant
Incentive Agreement to defer, with interest, payments to Operating Company by
the Company pursuant to this agreement. At September 30, 2000, $11.9 million of
payments under the Amended and Restated Tenant Incentive Agreement, plus $0.7
million of interest payments, were accrued but unpaid under the original terms
of this agreement. This agreement was cancelled in connection with the Operating
Company Merger.
Costs incurred by the Company under an amended and restated services agreement
(the "Amended and Restated Services Agreement") are capitalized as part of the
facilities' development cost. Costs incurred under the Amended and Restated
Services Agreement and capitalized as part of the
74
76
facilities' development cost totaled $0.1 million and $5.6 million for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2000. On June 9, 2000, Operating Company and
the Company amended this agreement to defer, with interest, payments to
Operating Company by the Company pursuant to this agreement. At September 30,
2000, $5.6 million of payments under the Amended and Restated Services
Agreement, plus $0.3 million of interest payments, were accrued but unpaid under
the original terms of this agreement. This agreement was cancelled in connection
with the Operating Company Merger. Costs incurred related to the Amended and
Restated Services Agreement for the three and nine months ended September 30,
1999 were $8.1 million and $34.6 million, respectively.
Costs incurred by the Company under a business development agreement (the
"Business Development Agreement") are capitalized as part of the facilities'
development cost. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000, no
costs were incurred under the Business Development Agreement. For the three and
nine months ended September 30, 1999, $3.1 million and $15.0 million,
respectively, were incurred. On June 9, 2000, Operating Company and the Company
amended this agreement to defer, with interest, payments to Operating Company by
the Company pursuant to this agreement. This agreement was cancelled in
connection with the Operating Company Merger.
PMSI AND JJFMSI FINANCIAL INFORMATION
In connection with the 1999 Merger, Old CCA received 100% of the non-voting
common stock in each of PMSI and JJFMSI, valued at the implied fair market
values of $67.1 million and $55.9 million, respectively. The Company succeeded
to these interests as a result of the 1999 Merger. The Company's ownership of
the non-voting common stock of PMSI and JJFMSI entitles the Company to receive,
when and if declared by the boards of directors of the respective companies, 95%
of the net income, as defined, of each company as cash dividends. Dividends
payable to the Company not declared and paid on a quarterly basis will accrue
and are cumulative. As of November 14, 2000, the Company has received quarterly
dividends in arrears from each of PMSI and JJFMSI through the first quarter of
2000.
In connection with the Restructuring, in September 2000 a wholly owned
subsidiary of PMSI purchased 85% of the outstanding voting common stock of PMSI
which was held by Privatized Management Services Investors, LLC, an outside
entity controlled by a director of PMSI and her family, for a cash purchase
price of $8.0 million. In addition, PMSI and its wholly owned subsidiary paid
the chief manager of Privatized Management Services Investors, LLC $150,000 as
compensation for expenses incurred in connection with the transaction, as well
as $125,000 in consideration for the chief manager's agreement not to engage in
a business competitive to the business of PMSI for a period of one year
following the completion of the transaction. Also in connection with the
Restructuring, in September 2000 a wholly owned subsidiary of JJFMSI purchased
85% of the outstanding voting common stock of JJFMSI held by Correctional
Services Investors, LLC, an outside entity, for a cash purchase price of $4.8
million. In addition, JJFMSI and its wholly owned subsidiary paid the chief
manager of Correctional Services Investors, LLC $250,000 for expenses incurred
in connection with the transaction.
75
77
It is currently anticipated that, following the attainment of necessary lender
and regulatory approval, each of PMSI and JJFMSI will merge with and into a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. As a result of these mergers, all shares
of PMSI and JJFMSI common stock held by the Company and certain subsidiaries of
PMSI and JJFMSI will be cancelled. The completion of the mergers does not
require the approval of the Company's stockholders. In the proposed PMSI merger,
the Company would issue shares of its common stock to the wardens of the
correctional and detention facilities operated by PMSI who are the remaining
shareholders of PMSI. It is expected that the wardens would receive shares of
the Company's common stock valued at an aggregate of $550,000 in the merger in
exchange for shares of PMSI common stock held by such wardens. Shares of the
Company's common stock owned by the PMSI wardens would be subject to vesting and
forfeiture provisions under a restricted stock plan. In the proposed JJFMSI
merger, the Company would issue shares of its common stock to the wardens of the
correctional and detention facilities operated by JJFMSI who are the remaining
shareholders of JJFMSI. It is expected that the wardens would receive shares of
the Company's common stock valued at an aggregate of $687,500 in the merger in
exchange for shares of JJFMSI common stock held by such wardens. Shares of the
Company's common stock owned by the JJFMSI wardens would also be subject to
vesting and forfeiture provisions under a restricted stock plan.
As a part of the Restructuring, JJFMSI and its wholly owned subsidiary, CCA (UK)
Limited, a company incorporated in England and Wales ("CCA UK"), have agreed to
sell their 50% ownership interest in two international subsidiaries, Corrections
Corporation of Australia Pty. Ltd., an Australian corporation ("CCA Australia"),
and U.K. Detention Services Limited, a company incorporated in England and Wales
("UKDS"), to Sodexho for a cash purchase price of $6.4 million. Sodexho
currently owns the remaining 50% interest in each of CCA Australia and UKDS.
JJFMSI and CCA UK agreed to sell the shares of CCA Australia and UKDS to
Sodexho, contingent on, among other things, the parties obtaining the requisite
consents of the appropriate authorities in Australia and the United Kingdom for
the transfer of the interests. The purchase price of $6.4 million includes $5.0
million for the purchase of UKDS and $1.4 million for the purchase of CCA
Australia. JJFMSI book basis in UKDS is $3.2 million which will result in a $1.8
million gain upon the closing of the sale. JJFMSI book basis in CCA Australia is
$5.0 million which results in a $3.6 million loss which has been recognized as a
loss on a disposal of an asset as of September 30, 2000. In connection with the
sale of JJFMSI's and CCA UK's interest in CCA Australia and UKDS to Sodexho,
Sodexho granted JJFMSI an option to repurchase a 25% interest in each entity at
any time prior to September 11, 2002 (i.e., 24 months from the date of the
agreement), assuming the stock purchases are completed. JJFMSI has the right to
repurchase a 25% interest in each entity for aggregate cash consideration of
$4.0 million if such option is exercised on or before February 11, 2002 (i.e.,
18 months from the date of the Option Agreement), and for aggregate cash
consideration of $4.2 million if such option is exercised after February 11,
2001 but prior to September 11, 2001.

During the third quarter of 2000, PMSI and JJFMSI (collectively) recorded $23.1
million in charges. Each of the companies entered into an indemnification
agreement with the Company for a fee of $6.0 million each. The Company is
indemnifying PMSI and JJFMSI from future costs associated with the
Fortress/Blackstone agreements. Also, JJFMSI recorded a $3.6 million charge for
a contingent loss on the sale of CCA Australia. In addition, PMSI and JJFMSI
incurred $7.5 million in charges for the amended agreements with Operating
Company related to trade name use and administrative fees.
The following unaudited balance sheet information presents a combined summary of
the financial position for PMSI and JJFMSI as of September 30, 2000 and December

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company incurred a net loss for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2000 of $251.1 million and $351.0 million, respectively, and had a net
working capital deficiency of $1.2 billion at September 30, 2000. In June 2000,
the Company obtained the June 2000 Waiver and Amendment and waivers of
previously existing events of default under, and amendments to, the provisions
of its convertible subordinated notes to permit the Restructuring and the
amendments to the Operating Company Leases and the other contractual
arrangements between the Company and Operating Company. At September 30, 2000,
the Company was not in compliance with certain applicable financial covenants
contained in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, including: (i) debt
service coverage ratio; (ii) interest coverage ratio; (iii) leverage ratio; and
(iv) net worth. The Company is required to provide Lehman a certificate on a
quarterly basis demonstrating compliance with the then-applicable financial
covenants contained in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement within 45
calendar days after the close of each fiscal quarter, subject to an applicable
grace period of five additional
77
79
calendar days. As a result, if the financial covenants described above are not
amended on or before November 17, 2000, an event of default will arise under the
terms of the Amended Bank Credit Facility. As more fully described in "Debt
Structure-Potential Events of Default and Proposed Consent and Amendment to the
Company's Amended and Restated Credit Agreement", the Company has initiated the
process of soliciting the approval and consent of the requisite percentage of
the senior lenders with respect to the Proposed Consent and Amendment. There can
be no assurance, however, that the Proposed Consent and Amendment will be
obtained on or before November 17, 2000 and that, as a result, the Company will
not be in default under the terms of the Amended Bank Credit Facility, its 12.0%
senior notes or its convertible subordinated notes.
The Company has limited resources currently available to it to meet its
operating, capital expenditure and debt service requirements. There can be no
assurance that the lenders under the Amended Bank Credit Facility will consent
to the Proposed Consent and Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement or will not seek to declare an event of default if the Proposed
Consent and Amendment is not executed on or before November 17, 2000.
In addition, the Company's 12.0% senior notes, the Company's $40.0 million
convertible subordinated notes and the Company's $30.0 million convertible
subordinated notes generally contain provisions which allow the holders of these
notes to accelerate this debt and seek remedies if the Company has a payment
default under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement or if the obligations
under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are subject to acceleration or
have been accelerated. If the Company were to be in default under the Amended
and Restated Credit Agreement, and if the senior lenders under the Amended Bank
Credit Facility elected to exercise their rights to accelerate the Company's
obligations under the Amended Bank Credit Facility, such events could result in
the acceleration of all or a portion of the outstanding principal amount of the
Company's 12.0% senior notes or the Company's convertible subordinated notes,
which would have a material adverse effect on the Company's liquidity and
financial position. The Company does not have sufficient working capital to
satisfy its debt obligations in the event of an acceleration of all of the
Company's outstanding indebtedness. In addition, the Company is currently
subject to significant litigation, as described in "OTHER INFORMATION-Legal
Proceedings".
Prior to September 30, 2000, the Company's business was the ownership,
development and leasing of correctional and detention facilities to qualified
third parties and government agencies. As the lessor of correctional and
detention facilities, the Company has been dependent upon the ability of its
tenants to make lease payments to the Company. Operating Company has been the
lessee of a substantial majority of the Company's facilities. Prior to September
30, 2000, Operating Company leased 35 of the 44 correctional and detention
facilities owned by the Company. In addition, the Company owns two office
buildings, one leased to Operating Company and one leased to TransCor.
Therefore, the Company has been dependent for a substantial portion of its
revenues on Operating Company's ability to make the Operating Company Lease
payments for such facilities.
Operating Company incurred a net loss of $77.5 million and $216.9 million for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000, respectively, and had a net
working capital deficiency and a net
78
80
capital deficiency at September 30, 2000. Due to Operating Company's liquidity
position, Operating Company was unable to make timely rental payments to the
Company under the original terms of the Operating Company Leases and had been
required to defer all scheduled payments of accrued interest on the Operating
Company Note.
The Company and Operating Company had previously amended the original terms of
the Operating Company Leases to defer, with interest, rental payments originally
due to the Company during the period from January 2000 to June 2000 until
September 30, 2000, with the exception of certain scheduled payments. Pursuant
to the terms of this amendment, Operating Company agreed to pay interest on such
deferred rental payments, at an annual rate equal to the current non-default
rate of interest applicable to Operating Company's revolving credit facility
(subject to adjustment if and to the extent that such rate of interest under
such existing revolving credit facility was adjusted) from the date such payment
would have been payable under the original terms of the Operating Company Leases
until the date such payment was actually paid. Operating Company's obligation to
make payments under the Operating Company Leases was not secured by any of the
assets of Operating Company, although the obligations under the Operating
Company Leases were cross-defaulted so that the Company could terminate all of
the Operating Company Leases if Operating Company failed to make required lease
payments.
Immediately prior to the Operating Company Merger, the Company and Operating
Company entered into agreements pursuant to which the Company forgave all unpaid
amounts due and payable to the Company through August 31, 2000, totaling
approximately $226.1 million, related to the Operating Company Leases, the
interest due on the unpaid Operating Company Leases balances and the interest
accrued on the Operating Company Note. See "Restructuring" for a more complete
discussion of the agreement to forgive these unpaid balances.
As of December 31, 1999, Operating Company was in default under the provisions
of its revolving credit facility, although such events of default were waived
subsequent to December 31, 1999. On September 15, 2000, Operating Company
replaced its revolving credit facility with a new revolving credit facility, as
further described in "Debt Structure-Operating Company Revolving Credit
Facility", and was in compliance with the provisions of its revolving bank
credit facility as of November 14, 2000.
As a result of Operating Company's financial and liquidity condition, the
independent public accountants of Operating Company indicated in their opinion
on Operating Company's 1999 consolidated financial statements that there is
substantial doubt about Operating Company's ability to continue as a going
concern. Matters such as continued operating losses by Operating Company,
declarations of events of default by the Company's and Operating Company's
creditors, the inability of Operating Company to make contractual payments to
the Company under the original terms of such agreements and the Company's
limited resources available to meet its operating, capital expenditure and debt
service requirements have had a material adverse impact on the Company's
combined and consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash
flows. The Company's independent public accountants indicated in their opinion
on the Company's 1999
79
81
consolidated financial statements that there is substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The condensed combined and
consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the
recoverability of asset carrying amounts or the amounts of liabilities that
might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
In order to address certain of the liquidity issues facing both the Company and
Operating Company, effective October 1, 2000, the Company completed certain
elements of the Restructuring and the Operating Company Merger, as more fully
discussed in "Restructuring". As a result of the Restructuring and the Operating
Company Merger on October 1, 2000, the existing Operating Company Leases were
cancelled. Although the Company has completed certain elements of the
Restructuring and completed the Operating Company Merger, thereby simplifying
the corporate structure and relationship between Operating Company and the
Company, the Company has limited resources currently available to it to meet its
operating, capital and debt service requirements. As a result, the Company
currently is, and will continue to be, dependent on its ability to borrow funds
under the terms of its Amended Bank Credit Facility, as hereinafter defined, to
meet these requirements. Subject to the obtainment of the Proposed Consent and
Amendment, the Company believes that it will have sufficient resources to meet
its operating, capital and debt service requirements. There is no assurance,
however, that the Company will obtain the Proposed Consent and Amendment.
Prior to the effectiveness of the June 2000 Waiver and Amendment, the Company
was in default under the provisions of the Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement (outstanding balance of $967.8 million at September 30, 2000). In
addition prior to obtaining waivers of events of default under, and amendments
to, the provisions of the agreements governing such indebtedness on June 30,
2000, the Company was in default under the provisions of the agreements
governing the Company's $40.0 million convertible subordinated notes and its
$30.0 million convertible subordinated notes. The defaults related to the
Company's failure to comply with certain financial covenants, the issuance of a
going concern opinion qualification with respect to the Company's 1999
consolidated financial statements, and certain transactions effected by the
Company, including the execution of the Pacific Life securities purchase
agreement.
CASH FLOW FROM OPERATING, INVESTING AND FINANCING ACTIVITIES
The Company's cash flow used in operating activities was $58.5 million and cash
flow provided by operating activities was $118.2 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively, and represents net income plus
depreciation and amortization and other non-cash charges and changes in the
various components of working capital. The Company's cash flow used in investing
activities was $49.1 million and $474.8 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively, and primarily represents acquisitions
of real estate properties and increase in restricted cash. The Company's cash
flow provided by financing activities was $17.4 million and $345.2 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively, and represents
payments of debt and debt issuance costs, payments of dividends on shares of the
Company's preferred and common stock, and proceeds from issuance of debt and
common stock and the purchase of treasury stock by PMSI and JJFMSI.
DEBT STRUCTURE
The Company's Amended Bank Credit Facility. On January 1, 1999, in connection
with the completion of the 1999 Merger, the Company obtained a $650.0 million
secured bank credit facility from NationsBank, N.A., as administrative agent,
and several U.S. and non-U.S. banks. The bank credit facility included up to a
maximum of $250.0 million in tranche B term loans and $400.0 million in
revolving loans, including a $150.0 million subfacility for letters of credit.
The term loan required quarterly principal payments of $0.6 million throughout
the term of the loan, with the remaining balance maturing on January 1, 2003.
The revolving loans were to mature on January 1,
80
82
2002. Interest rates, unused commitment fees and letter of credit fees on the
bank credit facility were subject to change based on the Company's senior debt
rating. The bank credit facility was secured by mortgages on the Company's real
property.
On August 4, 1999, the Company completed an amendment and restatement of the
bank credit facility (the "Amended Bank Credit Facility") increasing amounts
available to the Company under the original bank credit facility to $1.0 billion
through the addition of a $350.0 million tranche C term loan. The tranche C term
loan is payable in equal quarterly installments in the amount of $0.9 million
through the calendar quarter ending September 30, 2002, with the balance to be
paid in full on December 31, 2002. The maturity of the term loan under the
original bank credit facility was changed to December 31, 2002, with the
maturity of the revolving loan under the bank credit facility remaining January
1, 2002. Lehman replaced NationsBank, N.A. as administrative agent of the
Amended Bank Credit Facility.
The Amended Bank Credit Facility, similar to the original bank credit facility,
provided for interest rates, unused commitment fees and letter of credit fees to
change based on the Company's senior debt rating. Similar to the terms of the
original bank credit facility, the Amended Bank Credit Facility (prior to the
execution of the June 2000 Waiver and Amendment) was to bear interest at
variable rates of interest based on a spread over the base rate or LIBOR (as
elected by the Company), which spread is determined by reference to the
Company's credit rating. Prior to the June 2000 Waiver and Amendment, the spread
ranged from 0.5% to 2.25% for base rate loans and from 2.0% to 3.75% for LIBOR
rate loans. These ranges replaced the original spread ranges of 0.25% to 1.25%
for base rate loans and 1.375% to 2.75% for LIBOR rate loans. Prior to the June
2000 Waiver and Amendment, the term loan portions of the Amended Bank Credit
Facility were to bear interest at a variable rate equal to 3.75% to 4.0% in
excess of LIBOR, or 2.25% to 2.5% in excess of a base rate. This rate replaced
the variable rate equal to 3.25% in excess of LIBOR, or 1.75% in excess of a
base rate, in the original bank credit facility.
The rating on the Company's bank indebtedness was lowered from Ba3 to Ba1 during
the first quarter of 2000. The rating on the Company's senior unsecured
indebtedness was lowered from B1 to B2, and the rating on the Company's 8.0%
Series A Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the "Series A Preferred
Stock"), was lowered from Ba3 to B3. As a result, the interest rate applicable
to outstanding amounts under the Amended Bank Credit Facility was increased by
0.5%. The rating on the Company's indebtedness was also lowered during the
second quarter of 2000, although no interest rate increase was attributable to
the rating adjustment. Upon the lenders' determination that the Company is in
default under the terms of the Amended Bank Credit Facility, the Company is
required to pay a default rate of interest equal to the rate of interest as
determined based on the terms described above, plus 2.0%. As discussed below,
prior to the execution of the June 2000 Waiver and Amendment to the Amended Bank
Credit Facility, the Company was in default under the Amended Bank Credit
Facility and, consequently, was subject to the default rate of interest,
effective from January 25, 2000 until June 9, 2000. As a result of the execution
of the June 2000 Waiver and Amendment, however, the Company has not been in
default under the
81
83
Amended Bank Credit Facility and has not been obligated to continue to pay the
applicable default rate of interest with respect to outstanding amounts under
the Amended Bank Credit Facility.
The Company incurred costs of $59.2 million during 1999 in consummating the
original bank credit facility and the Amended Bank Credit Facility transactions,
including $41.2 million related to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.
The Company wrote off $9.0 million of unamortized costs as interest expense
related to the original bank credit facility upon completion of the Amended and
Restated Bank Credit Facility in 1999. The Company also incurred and capitalized
costs of approximately $9.0 million in consummating the June 2000 Waiver and
Amendment described below.
In accordance with the terms of the Amended Bank Credit Facility, the Company
entered into certain swap arrangements guaranteeing that it will not pay an
index rate greater than 6.51% on outstanding balances of at least (a) $325.0
million through December 31, 2001 and (b) $200.0 million through December 31,
2002.
The Amended Bank Credit Facility, similar to the terms of the original bank
credit facility, is secured by mortgages on the Company's real property.
Borrowings are limited based on a borrowing base formula that considers, among
other things, eligible real estate. Prior to execution of the June 2000 Waiver
and Amendment, the Amended Bank Credit Facility contained certain financial
covenants, primarily: (a) maintenance of leverage, interest coverage, debt
service coverage and total indebtedness ratios; and (b) restrictions on the
incurrence of additional indebtedness.
The Amended Bank Credit Facility also restricted the Company's ability to pay
any cash dividends in connection with its qualification as a REIT. As a result,
the Company distributed shares of its Series B Preferred Stock as described in
"Distributions to Stockholders" in connection with the satisfaction of its
remaining REIT distribution requirements for its 1999 taxable year.
June 2000 Waiver and Amendment. Following the approval of the requisite senior
lenders under the Amended Bank Credit Facility, the Company, certain of its
wholly owned subsidiaries, various lenders and Lehman, as administrative agent,
executed the June 2000 Waiver and Amendment, dated as of June 9, 2000, to the
provisions of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. Upon effectiveness, the
June 2000 Waiver and Amendment waived or addressed all then existing events of
default under the provisions of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement that
resulted from: (i) the financial condition of the Company and Operating Company;
(ii) the transactions undertaken by the Company and Operating Company in an
attempt to resolve the liquidity issues of the Company and Operating Company;
and (iii) previously announced restructuring transactions . The June 2000 Waiver
and Amendment also contained certain amendments to the Amended and Restated
Credit Agreement, including the replacement of existing financial ratios
contained in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement applicable to the Company
with new financial ratios following completion of the Restructuring. As a result
of the June 2000 Waiver and Amendment, the Company began monthly payments of
amounts due for interest beginning July 2000.
82
84
In obtaining the June 2000 Waiver and Amendment, the Company agreed to complete
certain transactions which were incorporated as covenants in the June 2000
Waiver and Amendment. Pursuant to these requirements, the Company completed the
Restructuring, including the Operating Company Merger, the amendment of its
Charter to remove the requirements that it elect to be taxed as a REIT
commencing with its 2000 taxable year, the restructuring of management and the
distribution of shares of its Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock,
$0.01 par value per share (the "Series B Preferred Stock"), as described in
"Restructuring" and "Distributions to Stockholders", respectively. The June 2000
Waiver and Amendment also amended the terms of the Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement to permit (i) the amendment of the Operating Company Leases and the
other contractual arrangements between the Company and Operating Company, and
(ii) the merger of each of PMSI and JJFMSI with the Company, upon terms and
conditions specified in the June 2000 Waiver and Amendment. The Company has
amended the Operating Company Leases as allowed for under the 2000 Waiver and
Amendment but has not yet merged each of PMSI and JJFMSI with the Company.
The June 2000 Waiver and Amendment prohibited: (i) the Company from settling its
then outstanding stockholder litigation for cash amounts not otherwise fully
covered by the Company's existing directors' and officers' liability insurance
policies; (ii) the declaration and payment of dividends with respect to the
Company's currently outstanding Series A Preferred Stock prior to the receipt of
net cash proceeds of at least $100.0 million from the issuance of additional
shares of common or preferred stock; and (iii) Operating Company from amending
or refinancing its revolving credit facility on terms and conditions less
favorable than Operating Company's then existing revolving credit facility.
As the result of the June 2000 Waiver and Amendment, the Company is generally
required to use the net cash proceeds received by the Company from certain
transactions, including the following transactions, to repay outstanding
indebtedness under the Amended Bank Credit Facility: (i) any disposition of real
estate assets; (ii) the securitization of lease payments with respect to the
Company's Salford, England facility; and (iii) the sale-leaseback of the
Company's headquarters. Under the terms of the June 2000 Waiver and Amendment,
the Company is also required to apply a designated portion of its "excess cash
flow," as such term is defined in the June 2000 Waiver and Amendment, to the
prepayment of outstanding indebtedness under the Amended Bank Credit Facility.
As a result of the June 2000 Waiver and Amendment, the interest rate applicable
to outstanding borrowings under the Amended Bank Credit Facility was increased
by 0.5%.
In connection with the June 2000 Waiver and Amendment, the Company borrowed
$25.0 million at the time of the execution of the June 2000 Waiver and Amendment
and an additional $25.0 million subsequently.
83
85
As of November 14, 2000, the Company was in compliance with the above provisions
of the June 2000 Waiver and Amendment, although certain potential events of
default existed under the Amended Credit Facility as described below.
Potential Events of Defaults and Proposed Consent and Amendment to the Company's
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. At September 30, 2000, the Company was
not in compliance with certain applicable financial covenants contained in the
Company's Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, including: (i) debt service
coverage ratio; (ii) interest coverage ratio; (iii) leverage ratio; and (iv) net
worth. The Company is required to provide Lehman a certificate on a quarterly
basis demonstrating compliance with the then-applicable financial covenants
contained in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement within 45 calendar days
after the close of each fiscal quarter, subject to an applicable grace period of
five additional calendar days. As a result, if the financial covenants described
above are not amended on or before November 17, 2000, an event of default will
arise under the terms of the Amended Bank Credit Facility.
In addition, effective September 29, 2000, Operating Company and each of PMSI
and JJFMSI amended the terms of the Administrative Services Agreements by and
between the Company and each of PMSI and JJFMSI to: (i) increase, as of January
1, 2000, the administrative services fee paid by each of PMSI and JJFMSI to
Operating Company and its successor as a result of the Operating Company Merger
from $260,000 per month to $450,000 per month, and (ii) to include, as of
January 1, 2000, a monthly payment to Operating Company and its successor from
PMSI and JJFMSI for the use of the name "Corrections Corporation of America" in
an amount equal to 2.0% of the monthly management revenues of PMSI and JJFMSI
(the "Administrative Services Amendments"). Effective September 29, 2000, each
of PMSI and JJFMSI have agreed to pay the Company $6.0 million in exchange for a
full indemnity by the Company for any and all liabilities incurred by PMSI or
JJFMSI in connection with the settlement or disposition of certain litigation
known as Prison Acquisition Company, LLC v. Prison Realty Trust, Inc., et al.
(the "Indemnification Agreements") as described herein. These agreements could
potentially result in an event of default under the Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement. However, it is anticipated that if the Proposed Consent and Amendment
is obtained, these agreements will not result in the declaration of an event of
default by the lenders under the Amended Bank Credit Facility.
The Company, through Lehman, has initiated the process of soliciting the consent
of the requisite percentage of the senior lenders to the Proposed Consent and
Amendment. The Proposed Consent and Amendment, if effected, would replace the
previously existing financial covenants contained in the Amended and Restated
Credit Agreement with the following financial covenants, each as defined in the
Proposed Consent and Amendment: (i) total leverage ratio; (ii) post merger
interest coverage ratio; (iii) fixed charge coverage ratio; (iv) ratio of total
indebtedness to total capitalization; (v) minimum post merger EBIDTA; and (vi)
total beds occupied ratio.
In addition, the Proposed Consent and Amendment would consent to the execution
of the Administrative Services Amendments and the execution of the
Indemnification Agreements. The Proposed Consent and Amendment would also amend
the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
84
86
to permit the mergers of each of PMSI and JJFMSI with and into the wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company into which Operating Company was previously merged.
The Proposed Consent and Amendment further provides that the Company will be
required to use commercially reasonable efforts to complete a "capital raising
event" on or before June 30, 2001. A "capital raising event" is defined in the
Proposed Consent and Amendment as any combination of the following transactions,
which together would result in net cash proceeds to the Company of $100.0
million: (i) an offering of the Company's common stock through the distribution
of rights to the Company's existing stockholders; (ii) any other offering of the
Company's common stock or certain types of the Company's preferred stock; (iii)
issuances by the Company of unsecured, subordinated indebtedness providing for
in-kind payments of principal and interest until repayment of the Amended Credit
Facility; (iv) certain types of asset sales by the Company, including the sale-
leaseback of the Company's headquarters. The Proposed Consent and Amendment also
contains limitations upon the use of proceeds obtained from the completion of
such "capital raising events". The requirements relating to "capital raising
events" contained in the Proposed Consent and Amendment would replace the
requirement currently contained in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
that the Company use commercially reasonably efforts to consummate a rights
offering on or before December 31, 2000.
The maturities of the loans under the Amended Bank Credit Facility, as well as
the interest applicable to such loans, would remain unchanged as a result of the
Proposed Consent and Amendment. In consideration of the Proposed Consent and
Amendment, the Company will be required to pay to the lenders under the Amended
Bank Credit Facility a fee of $500,000.
The Company has limited resources currently available to it to meet its
operating, capital expenditure and debt service requirements. If an event of
default arises under the terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement as a
result of the Company's failure to obtain the Proposed Consent and Amendment, or
as a result of the acceleration of the Company's other indebtedness, the senior
lenders under the Amended Bank Credit Facility are entitled, at their
discretion, to exercise certain remedies, including acceleration of the
Company's outstanding borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement. There can also be no assurance that the lenders under the Amended
Bank Credit Facility will consent to the Proposed Consent and Amendment or will
not seek to declare an event of default if the Proposed Consent and Amendment is
not executed prior to November 17, 2000.
In addition, the Company's 12.0% senior notes, the Company's $40.0 million
convertible subordinated notes and the Company's $30.0 million convertible
subordinated notes generally contain provisions which allow the holders of these
notes to accelerate this debt and seek remedies if the Company has a payment
default under the Amended Bank Credit Facility or if the obligations under the
Amended Bank Credit Facility are subject to acceleration or have been
accelerated. If the Company were to be in default under the Amended Bank Credit
Facility, and if the senior lenders under the Amended Bank Credit Facility
elected to exercise their rights to accelerate the Company's obligations under
the Amended Bank Credit Facility, such events could result in the acceleration
of
85
87
all or a portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Company's 12.0%
senior notes or the Company's convertible subordinated notes, which would have a
material adverse effect on the Company's liquidity and financial position. The
Company does not have sufficient working capital to satisfy its debt obligations
in the event of an acceleration of all of the Company's outstanding
indebtedness.
As of November 14, 2000, the Company has made all required principal and
interest payments under the Amended Bank Credit Facility.
12.0% Senior Notes. On June 11, 1999, the Company completed its offering of
$100.0 million aggregate principal amount of 12.0% senior notes, due 2006.
Interest on the 12.0% senior notes is paid semi-annually in arrears, and the
12.0% senior notes have a seven-year non-callable term due June 1, 2006. Net
proceeds from the offering were approximately $95.0 million, after deducting
expenses payable by the Company in connection with the offering. The Company
used the net proceeds from the sale of the 12.0% senior notes for general
corporate purposes and to repay revolving bank borrowings under its bank credit
facility.
The Company believes that it currently is not in default under the terms of the
indenture governing its $100.0 million 12.0% senior notes. The terms of the
indenture governing the 12.0% senior notes generally restrict amendments to the
terms of the Operating Company Leases, the Amended and Restated Tenant Incentive
Agreement, the Business Development Agreement, the Amended and Restated Services
Agreement and the Trade Name Use Agreement without the delivery of an opinion as
to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to the Company of such
amendments, issued by an accounting, appraisal, consulting or investment banking
firm of national standing, to the trustee under the indenture governing the
12.0% senior notes. In connection with the amendments to certain of these
agreements on June 9, 2000, the Company delivered to the trustee under the
indenture a fairness opinion meeting the requirements of the indenture. The
Company has been advised that in connection with the cancellation of the
Operating Company Leases, the Amended and Restated Tenant Incentive Agreement,
the Business Development Agreement, the Amended and Restated Services Agreement
and the Trade Name Use Agreement in the Operating Company Merger and the
forgiveness of amounts due the Company from Operating Company under the terms of
the Operating Company Leases and the Operating Company Note in September 2000,
the Company may be required to obtain an opinion as to the fairness, from a
financial point of view, to the Company of such transactions under the terms of
the indenture. As a result, the Company is in the process of obtaining an
opinion as to the fairness of such transactions. There can be no assurance,
however, that such an opinion will be obtained and that, as a result, if such
opinion is required under the terms of the indenture, an event of default will
not occur under the terms of the 12.0% senior notes.
Upon the occurrence of an event of default under the terms of the 12.0% senior
notes, the holders of the notes will have the right to accelerate the
outstanding principal amount of such notes. Such a default under the terms of
the 12.0% senior notes, will also result in a default under the terms of the
Company's $30.0 million convertible subordinated notes in the event the holders
of the 12.0%
86
88
senior notes accelerate the outstanding principal amount of the notes. A default
under the terms of the 12.0% senior notes will also result in a default under
the terms of the Amended Bank Credit Facility and the Company's $40.0 million
convertible subordinated notes, regardless of whether or not the holders of the
12.0% senior notes accelerate the outstanding principal amount thereunder.
The indenture governing the 12.0% senior notes provides that it shall be an
event of default under the notes if the Company has a payment default under the
Amended Bank Credit Facility or if the Company's obligations under the Amended
Bank Credit Facility have been accelerated. However, the amounts outstanding
under the 12.0% senior notes are effectively subordinated to the Company's
obligations under the Amended Bank Credit Facility to the extent of the value of
the assets securing the Amended Bank Credit Facility. In the event of
acceleration of outstanding principal amounts under both the 12.0% senior notes
and the Amended Bank Credit Facility, the lenders under the Amended Bank Credit
Facility will be entitled to proceed against the collateral that secures the
Company's obligations under the Amended Bank Credit Facility, and such
collateral will not be available to satisfy any amounts owed under the 12.0%
senior notes.
$40.0 Million Convertible Subordinated Notes. On January 29, 1999, the Company
issued $20.0 million of convertible subordinated notes due in December 2008,
with interest payable semi-annually at 9.5%, to MDP Ventures IV and affiliated
purchasers. This issuance constituted the second tranche of a commitment by the
Company to issue an aggregate of $40.0 million of
87
89
convertible subordinated notes, with the first $20.0 million tranche issued in
December 1998 under substantially similar terms. Certain existing or potential
events of default arose under the provisions of the note purchase agreement
relating to the $40.0 million convertible subordinated notes as a result of the
Company's financial condition and a "change of control" arising from the
Company's execution of certain securities purchase agreements with respect to
the previously announced restructuring transactions, as described. This "change
of control" gave rise to the right of the holders of such notes to require the
Company to repurchase the notes at a price of 105% of the aggregate principal
amount of such notes within 45 days after the provision of written notice by
such holders to the Company. In addition, the Company's defaults under the
provisions of the note purchase agreement gave rise to the right of the holders
of such notes to require the Company to pay an applicable default rate of
interest of 20.0%. In addition to the default rate of interest, as a result of
the events of default the Company was obligated, under the original terms of the
$40.0 million convertible subordinated notes, to pay the holders of the notes
contingent interest sufficient to permit the holders to receive a 15.0% rate of
return, excluding the effect of the default rate of interest, on the $40.0
million principal amount, unless the holders of the notes elect to convert the
notes into the Company's common stock under the terms of the note purchase
agreement. Such contingent interest is retroactive to the date of issuance of
the notes.
In order to address the events of default discussed above, on June 30, 2000, the
Company and the holders of the notes executed a waiver and amendment to the
provisions of the note purchase agreement governing the notes. This waiver and
amendment provided for a waiver of all existing events of default under the
provisions of the note purchase agreement. In addition, the waiver and amendment
to the note purchase agreement amended the economic terms of the notes to
increase the applicable interest rate of the notes by 0.5% per annum and
adjusted the conversion price of the notes to a price equal to 125% of the
average high and low sales price of the Company's common stock on the New York
Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") for a period of 20 trading days immediately
following the earlier of (i) October 31, 2000 and (ii) the closing date of the
Operating Company Merger. In addition, the waiver and amendment to the note
purchase agreement provided for the replacement of financial ratios applicable
to the Company. The conversion price for the notes has been established at
$1.19, subject to adjustment in the future upon the occurrence of certain
events, including the payment of dividends and the issuance of stock at below
market prices by the Company. Under the terms of the waiver and amendment, the
distribution of the Company's Series B Preferred Stock, as described in
"Distributions to Stockholders", will not cause an adjustment to the conversion
price of the notes. However, the distribution of shares of the Company's common
stock in connection with the settlement of all outstanding stockholder
litigation against the Company, as described in "OTHER INFORMATION-Legal
Proceedings", will cause an adjustment to the conversion price of the notes in
an amount to be determined at the time shares of the Company's common stock are
distributed pursuant to the settlement. At June 30, 2000, the conversion price
for the $40.0 million convertible subordinated notes was $23.63. At a conversion
price of $1.19, the $40.0 million convertible subordinated notes are convertible
into approximately 33,613,445 shares of the Company's common stock.
88
90
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to maintain the
effectiveness of the waiver and amendment to the note purchase agreement. If the
Company is unable to do so, and if the holders of these notes do not consent to
an additional proposed waiver of events of default under, and amendments to, the
note purchase agreement, the Company may be required to repurchase or redeem the
outstanding principal amount of the notes. If the aggregate principal amount of
such notes were accelerated, however, the repayment of such amounts would be
subordinate to the rights of the senior lenders under the Amended Bank Credit
Facility. Any requirement to repurchase or redeem the outstanding principal
amount of this indebtedness prior to its stated maturity would also trigger an
event of default under the provisions of the Company's other indebtedness,
including the provisions of the Amended Bank Credit Facility.
In connection with the waiver and amendment to the note purchase agreement, the
Company issued additional convertible subordinated notes containing
substantially similar terms in the aggregate principal amount of $1.1 million,
which amount represents all interest owed at the default rate of interest
through June 30, 2000. After giving consideration to the issuance of these
additional notes, as of November 14, 2000, the Company has made all required
interest payments under the $40.0 million convertible subordinated notes.
$30.0 Million Convertible Subordinated Notes. Certain existing or potential
events of default arose under the provisions of the note purchase agreement
relating to the Company's $30.0 million convertible subordinated notes as a
result of the Company's financial condition and as a result of the proposed
Restructuring. However, on June 30, 2000, the Company and PMI Mezzanine Fund,
L.P., the holder of the notes, executed a waiver and amendment to the provisions
of the note purchase agreement governing the notes. This waiver and amendment
provided for a waiver of all existing events of default under the provisions of
the note purchase agreement. In addition, the waiver and amendment to the note
purchase agreement amended the economic terms of the notes to increase the
applicable interest rate of the notes by 0.5% per annum and adjusted the
conversion price of the notes to a price equal to 125% of the average closing
price of the Company's common stock on the NYSE for a period of 30 trading days
immediately following the earlier of (i) October 31, 2000 and (ii) the closing
date of the Operating Company Merger. In addition, the waiver and amendment to
the note purchase agreement provided for the replacement of financial ratios
applicable to the Company. The conversion price for the notes has been
established at $1.07, subject to adjustment in the future upon the occurrence of
certain events, including the payment of dividends and the issuance of stock at
below market prices by the Company. Under the terms of the waiver and amendment,
the distribution of the Company's Series B Preferred Stock, as described in
"Distributions to Stockholders", will not cause an adjustment to the conversion
price of the notes. However, the distribution of shares of the Company's common
stock in connection with the settlement of all outstanding stockholder
litigation against the Company, as described in "OTHER INFORMATION-Legal
Proceedings", will cause an adjustment to the conversion price of the notes in
an amount to be determined at the time shares of the Company's common stock are
distributed pursuant to the settlement. At June 30, 2000, the conversion price
for the $30.0 million convertible subordinated notes was $23.63. At a conversion
price of $1.07, the $30.0 million convertible
89
91
subordinated notes are convertible into approximately 28,037,383 shares of the
Company's common stock.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to maintain the
effectiveness of the waiver and amendment to the note purchase agreement. If the
Company is unable to do so, and if the holders of these notes do not consent to
an additional proposed waiver of any future events of default under, and
amendments to, the note purchase agreement, the Company may be required to
repurchase or redeem the outstanding principal amount of the notes. If the
aggregate principal amount of such convertible subordinated notes were
accelerated, however, the repayment of such amounts would be subordinate to the
rights of the senior lenders under the Amended Bank Credit Facility. Any
requirement to repurchase or redeem the outstanding principal amount of this
indebtedness prior to its stated maturity would also trigger an event of default
under the provisions of the Company's other indebtedness, including the
provisions of the Amended Bank Credit Facility.
As of November 14, 2000, the Company has made all required interest payments
under the $30.0 million convertible subordinated notes.
JJFMSI Credit Facility. On September 29, 2000, JJFMSI obtained a $6.4 million
term loan from a group of lenders led by Lehman, as the administrative agent. As
of November 14, 2000, JJFMSI has borrowed $6.4 million under the term loan.
Approximately $4.0 million of the proceeds from the loan was used to make a loan
to PMSI and its subsidiaries subsequent to September 30, 2000. The term loan
facility bears interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin that increases during
the term of the loan and matures on September 30, 2001. The facility bears
interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 400 basis points until December 31, 2000, at
which time the applicable margin will increase at a rate of 150 basis points per
quarter until maturity. The facility is secured by the accounts receivable and
all accounts of JJFMSI and contains a requirement that the proceeds received by
JJFMSI and its wholly owned subsidiary from the sale of its international
operations, as more fully described in "PMSI and JJFMSI Financial Information",
be used to repay amounts outstanding under the term loan facility.
Operating Company Revolving Credit Facility. On April 27, 2000, Operating
Company obtained a waiver of events of default under its $100.0 million
revolving credit facility with a group of lenders led by Foothill Capital
Corporation ("Foothill Capital") relating to: (i) the amendment of certain
contractual arrangements between the Company and Operating Company; (ii)
Operating Company's violation of a net worth covenant contained in the revolving
credit facility; and (iii) the execution of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, as
defined in "Restructuring", with respect to the Operating Company Merger. On
June 30, 2000, the terms of the initial waiver were amended to provide that the
waiver would remain in effect, subject to certain other events of termination,
until the earlier of (i) September 15, 2000 or (ii) the completion of the
Operating Company Merger.
On September 15, 2000, Operating Company terminated its revolving credit
facility with Foothill Capital and simultaneously entered into a new $50.0
million revolving credit facility with Lehman. This new revolving credit
facility, which bears interest at an applicable prime rate, plus 2.25%, is
90
92
secured by the accounts receivable and all other accounts of Operating Company.
The revolving credit facility matures on December 31, 2002. Operating Company
paid a $1.0 million commitment fee to Lehman at closing for this revolving
credit facility. In accordance with the terms of its revolving credit facility
with Foothill Capital, Operating Company paid a $2.0 million early termination
fee to Foothill Capital. Operating Company expensed $5.1 million of loan fees
associated with the termination of its revolving credit facility with Foothill
Capital.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO STOCKHOLDERS
On March 22, 2000, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a quarterly
dividend on the Company's Series A Preferred Stock of $0.50 per share to
preferred stockholders of record on March 31, 2000. These dividends were paid on
April 17, 2000. As of November 14, 2000, the Company's Board of Directors has
not declared a dividend on the Series A Preferred Stock for the quarters ended
June 30, 2000 and September 30, 2000. In connection with the June 2000 Waiver
and Amendment, the Company is prohibited from declaring or paying any dividends
with respect to the Company's currently outstanding Series A Preferred Stock
until such time as the Company has raised at least $100.0 million in equity.
Therefore, the Company has not made any payments with respect to the second and
third quarter dividends. Dividends with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock
will continue to accrue under the terms of the Company's Charter until such time
as payment of such dividends is permitted under the terms of the June 2000
Waiver and Amendment. A second and third quarter 2000 dividend of $0.50 per
share has been accrued as of September 30, 2000.
Under the terms of the Company's Charter, as in effect prior to the
Restructuring, the Company was required to elect to be taxed as a REIT for
federal income tax purposes for its taxable year ended December 31, 1999. The
Company, as a REIT, could not complete any taxable year with accumulated
earnings and profits from a taxable corporation. Accordingly, the Company was
required to distribute Old CCA's earnings and profits to which it succeeded in
the 1999 Merger (the "Accumulated Earnings and Profits"). For the year ended
December 31, 1999, the Company made approximately $217.7 million of
distributions related to its common stock and Series A Preferred Stock. Because
the Company's Accumulated Earnings and Profits were approximately $157.5
million, and the Company's distributions in 1999 were deemed to have been paid
first from those Accumulated Earnings and Profits, the Company met the
above-described distribution requirements. In addition to distributing its
Accumulated Earnings and Profits, the Company, in order to qualify for taxation
as a REIT with respect to its 1999 taxable year, is required to distribute 95.0%
of its taxable income for 1999. The Company believes that this distribution
requirement has been satisfied by its distribution of shares of the Company's
Series B Preferred Stock, as discussed below.
On September 22, 2000, the Company issued 5,927,805 shares of its Series B
Preferred Stock in connection with its remaining 1999 REIT distribution
requirement. The distribution was made to the Company's common stockholders of
record on September 14, 2000, who received five shares of Series B Preferred
Stock for every 100 shares of the Company's common stock held on the record
date. The Company paid its common stockholders approximately $15,000 in cash in
lieu of issuing fractional shares of Series B Preferred Stock. On November 13,
2000, the Company issued
91
93
approximately 1,590,065 additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock in
furtherance of meeting its 1999 REIT distribution requirements. This
distribution was made to the Company's common stockholders of record on November
6, 2000, who received one share of Series B Preferred Stock for every 100 shares
of the Company's common stock held on the record date. The Company also paid its
common stockholders approximately $15,000 in cash in lieu of issuing fractional
shares of Series B Preferred Stock in the second distribution.
The Company recorded the initial issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock at its
stated value of $24.46 per share, or a total of $145.0 million. The Company has
determined the distribution made on September 22, 2000 amounted to a taxable
distribution by the Company of approximately $107.6 million. The distribution of
the additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock on November 13, 2000 is
expected to satisfy the Company's remaining distribution requirements. However,
the taxable distribution value of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock
distributed on November 13, 2000 has not been determined at this time, and there
can be no assurance that such distribution will satisfy the Company's remaining
1999 REIT distribution requirements. The Company has accrued a 12.0% dividend on
the shares of Series B Preferred Stock for the period from September 22, 2000 to
September 30, 2000.
The shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued by the Company provide for
dividends, payable in additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock, at a rate
of 12.0% per year for the first three years following the issuance of the shares
and cash dividends at a rate of 12.0% per year thereafter, payable for the
period from issuance through December 31, 2000 and quarterly thereafter in
arrears. The shares of the Series B Preferred Stock are callable by the Company,
at a price per share equal to the stated value of $24.46, plus any accrued
dividends, at any time after six months following the later of (i) three years
following the date of issuance or (ii) the 91st day following the redemption of
the Company's 12.0% senior notes, due 2006. The shares of Series B Preferred
Stock are convertible into shares of the Company's common stock during two
conversion periods (to the extent such shares have been issued at the time of
such conversion period): (i) from Monday, October 2, 2000 to Friday, October 13,
2000; and (ii) from Thursday, December 7, 2000 to Wednesday, December 20, 2000,
at a conversion price based on the average closing price of the Company's common
stock on the NYSE during the 10 trading days prior to the first day of the
applicable conversion period, provided, however, that the conversion price used
to determine the number of shares of the Company's common stock issuable upon
conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock shall not be less than $1.00. The
number of shares of the Company's common stock that will be issuable upon the
conversion of each share of Series B Preferred Stock will be calculated by
dividing the stated price ($24.46), plus accrued and unpaid dividends as of the
date of conversion of each share of Series B Preferred Stock, by the conversion
price established for the conversion period.
Approximately 1,302,486 shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued by the Company
on September 22, 2000 were converted during the first conversion period in
October 2000, resulting in the issuance of approximately 21,621,267 shares of
the Company's common stock. The conversion price for the initial conversion
period was established at $1.4813, thereby resulting in each share of Series B
92
94
Preferred Stock being convertible into approximately 16.6 shares of the
Company's common stock during the initial conversion period.
PROPOSED TRANSACTION AFFECTING THE COMPANY'S CAPITAL STOCK
On November 7, 2000, the Company filed preliminary proxy materials with the
Commission in connection with the Company's 2000 Annual Meeting of Stockholders
scheduled to take place on December 13, 2000. At the annual meeting, the holders
of the Company's common stock as of the record date for the meeting will be
asked to: (i) consider and approve a reverse stock split of the Company's common
stock at a ratio to be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company of
not less than one-for-ten and not to exceed one-for-twenty, and (ii) consider
and approve (a) an amendment to the Company's 1997 Employee Share Incentive Plan
to, among other things, increase the number of shares of the Common Stock
reserved and authorized for issuance pursuant to the plan, and (b) the adoption
of a new equity incentive plan for the directors, executive officers and other
key employees of the Company.
The Company is seeking the approval for the reverse stock split as the result of
the Company's actual and prospective issuances of shares of its common stock and
the effect of such issuances on the market price of the Company's common stock.
As of November 14, 2000, the Company has 159,068,682 shares of its common stock
and approximately 6,215,384 shares of its Series B Preferred Stock (which,
assuming a $1.00 conversion price, will be convertible into approximately
155,370,113 shares of the Company's common stock in December 2000) issued and
outstanding. Accordingly, as the result of the conversion of the Series B
Preferred Stock, and the issuance of shares of the Company's common stock in
satisfaction of the stockholder litigation settlement previously described
herein, and the issuance of shares of common stock in connection with the
mergers with PMSI and JJFMSI, the Company expects to have in excess of
approximately 333,000,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding by the
end of January 2001. This does not include any shares of common stock that would
be issued in connection with the conversion of the Company's aggregate $70.0
million convertible subordinated notes, the exercise of outstanding stock
options, or shares that may be required to be issued in August 2001 under the
terms of the stockholder litigation settlement, which could increase the
Company's outstanding common stock to over 450,000,000 shares.
The Company is seeking the approval of an amendment to the Company's 1997
Employee Share Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares of common stock
available for issuance thereunder from 1,300,000 to 15,000,000 and the adoption
of the Company's 2000 Equity Incentive Plan, pursuant to which the Company will
reserve 25,000,000 in shares of common stock for issuance thereunder, in order
to provide the Company with adequate means to retain and attract quality
directors, officers and key employees through the granting of equity incentives.
The number of shares available for issuance under each of the plans will be
adjusted in the event the reverse stock split discussed above is approved and
implemented.

95
EVALUATION OF CAPITAL STRUCTURE
As a result of the Company's current financial condition, including: (i) the
revolving loans under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement maturing January
1, 2002; (ii) the requirement under the Proposed Consent and Amendment to use
commercially reasonable efforts to complete any combination of certain
transactions, as defined therein, which together result in net cash proceeds of
at least $100.0 million; (iii) the Company's negative working capital position;
and (iv) the Company's highly leveraged capital structure, the Company's
management is evaluating the Company's current capital structure, including the
consideration of various potential transactions that could improve the Company's
financial position. These potential transactions include, but are not limited
to, the following: (i) refinancing all or a portion of the borrowings
outstanding under the Company's Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and other
debt instruments; (ii) a distribution of rights to purchase common or preferred
stock to the Company's existing stockholders; (iii) an offering of common or
preferred stock; (iv) asset divestitures; and (v) solicitation of an equity
investment in the Company by an outside investor.
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation. The Company is subject to a variety of legal proceedings, some of
which if resolved against the Company, could have a material adverse effect upon
the business and financial position of the Company. A complete description of
the litigation currently commenced against the Company is set forth in "OTHER
INFORMATION-Legal Proceedings".
Income Tax Contingencies. Under the terms of the Company's Charter, the Company
is required to elect to be taxed as a REIT for the year ended December 31, 1999.
The Company, as a REIT, could not complete any taxable year with Accumulated
Earnings and Profits. For the year ended December 31, 1999, the Company made
approximately $217.7 million of distributions related to its common stock and
Series A Preferred Stock. The Company met the above described distribution
requirements by designating approximately $152.5 million of the total
distributions in 1999 as distributions of its Accumulated Earnings and Profits.
In addition to distributing its Accumulated Earnings and Profits, the Company,
in order to qualify for taxation as a REIT with respect to its 1999 taxable
year, is required to distribute 95% of its taxable income for 1999. The Company
believes that this distribution requirement has been satisfied by its
distribution of shares of the Company's Series B Preferred Stock, as discussed
in "Distributions to Stockholders". The Company's failure to distribute 95% of
its taxable income for 1999 or the failure of the Company to comply with other
requirements for REIT qualification under the Code with respect to its taxable
year ended December 31, 1999 would have a material adverse impact on the
Company's combined and consolidated financial position, results of operations
and cash flows.
The Company's election of REIT status for its taxable year ended December 31,
1999 is subject to review by the IRS for a period of three years from the date
of filing of its 1999 tax return. Should the IRS review the Company's election
to be taxed as a REIT for the 1999 taxable year and reach a conclusion
disallowing the Company's dividends paid deduction, the Company would be subject
94
96
to income taxes and interest on its 1999 taxable income and possibly subject to
fines and/or penalties. Income taxes, penalties and interest for the year ended
December 31, 1999 could exceed $83.5 million, which would have an adverse impact
on the Company's combined and consolidated financial position, results of
operations and cash flows.
In connection with the 1999 Merger, the Company assumed the tax obligations of
Old CCA resulting from disputes with federal and state taxing authorities
related to tax returns filed by Old CCA in 1998 and prior taxable years. The IRS
is currently conducting an audit of Old CCA's federal tax return for the taxable
year ending December 31, 1997. The Company currently is unable to predict the
ultimate outcome of the IRS's audit of Old CCA's 1997 federal tax return or the
ultimate outcome of audits of other tax returns of the Company or Old CCA by the
IRS or by other taxing authorities; however, it is possible that such audits
will result in claims against the Company in excess of reserves currently
recorded by the Company. In addition, to the extent that IRS audit adjustments
increase the Accumulated Earnings and Profits of Old CCA, the Company would be
required to make timely distribution of the Accumulated Earnings and Profits of
Old CCA to stockholders. Such results would have a material adverse impact on
the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Guarantees. In connection with the bond issuance of a governmental entity for
which PMSI currently provides management services at a 2,016 bed correctional
facility, the Company is obligated, under a debt service deficits agreement, to
pay the trustee of the bond's trust indenture (the "Trustee") amounts necessary
to pay any debt service deficits consisting of principal and interest
requirements (outstanding principal balance of $69.1 million at September 30,
2000 plus future interest payments). In the event the State of Tennessee, which
is currently utilizing the facility, exercises its option to purchase the
correctional facility, the Company is also obligated to pay the difference
between principal and interest owed on the bonds on the date set for the
redemption of the bonds and amounts paid by the State of Tennessee for the
facility and all other funds on deposit with the Trustee and available for
redemption of the bonds. The Company also maintains a restricted cash account of
approximately $7.0 million as collateral against a guarantee it has provided for
a forward purchase agreement related to the above bond issuance.
The IRS is conducting an audit of $72.7 million in tax exempt bonds issued by
the Hardeman County Correctional Facilities Corporation ("HCCFC") in 1997, the
proceeds of which were used to construct a correctional facility in Hardeman
County, Tennessee, owned by HCCFC. At the time the bonds were issued, Old CCA
entered into a management agreement with respect to the correctional facility.
By separate agreement, Old CCA agreed to pay any debt service deficits on the
bonds. Subsequent to the issuance of the bonds, HCCFC paid Old CCA a
discretionary bonus of approximately $4.1 million. The tax-exempt nature of the
bonds is under review by the IRS. Because of the contractual relationship
between Old CCA and the correctional facility, in the event the IRS determines
that the bonds are taxable, there exists the risk that the Company, as the
successor to Old CCA, may be required to remit all or a portion of the bonus
received, or, in the alternative, repurchase the principal amount of the bonds,
plus accrued interest. The Company intends to contest this matter vigorously. If
this matter is determined adversely to the Company, any resulting liability
95
97
for the Company could have a material adverse effect upon the business or
financial condition of the Company.
Employment and Severance Agreements. On July 28, 2000, Doctor R. Crants was
terminated as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and from all positions
with the Company and Operating Company. Under certain employment and severance
agreements, Mr. Crants will continue to receive his salary and health, life and
disability insurance benefits for a period of three years and was vested
immediately in 140,000 shares of the Company's common stock previously granted
as part of a deferred stock award. The compensation expense related to these
benefits, totaling $0.7 million in cash and $1.2 million in non-cash charges
representing the unamortized portion of the deferred stock award, has been
recognized in the three and nine months ending September 30, 2000. The
unamortized portion is based on the trading price of the common stock of Old
CCA, a predecessor to the Company, as of the date of grant, which occurred in
the fourth quarter of 1995. Prior to Mr. Crants' termination, pursuant to the
terms of the Company's 1997 Employee Share Incentive Plan, Mr. Crants had been
issued 6,570 shares of restricted stock, 1,687 of which vested immediately upon
the date of the award. The remaining shares vested ratably on each of the first
three anniversaries following the date of award. On July 28, 2000, all 3,375 of
the unvested shares of restricted stock held by Mr. Crants' were forfeited to
the Company as the result of his termination.
Effective November 17, 2000, Darrell K. Massengale, Secretary of the Company,
will resign from all positions with the Company, its subsidiaries and its
affiliates. Under Mr. Massengale's employment agreement, all deferred or
restricted shares of common stock granted to Mr. Massengale have become fully
vested. The compensation expense related to the deferred shares, a $0.1 million
non-cash charge representing the unamortized portion of the deferred stock
award, is recognized in the three and nine months ending September 30, 2000. The
unamortized portion is based on the trading price of the common stock of Old
CCA, a predecessor to the Company, as of the date of grant, which was during the
fourth quarter of 1995.
AGREEMENT WITH DC INVESTMENT PARTNERS, LLC
On December 31, 1999, an agreement was executed between the Company and DC
Investment Partners, LLC ("DCI"), a private investment manager of which two
former directors and officers of the Company (D. Robert Crants, III and Michael
W. Devlin) are principals. Under the agreement, the Company is to reimburse DCI,
over an eight year period beginning July 2000, for certain costs incurred by DCI
in relocating its office space from the corporate office building owned and
occupied by the Company. In the third quarter of 2000, the Company recorded a
$413,000 charge to general and administrative expense representing the present
value of the future payments called for under the agreement. However, management
of the Company is currently evaluating its obligation to honor this agreement
and has suspended further payments under the agreement.
96
98
YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE
In 1999, the Company completed an assessment of its key information technology
systems, including its client server and minicomputer hardware and operating
systems and critical financial and non-financial applications, in order to
ensure that these date sensitive critical information systems would properly
recognize the Year 2000 as a result of the century change on January 1, 2000.
Based on this assessment, the Company determined that these key information
systems were Year 2000 compliant. The Company also evaluated its non-critical
information technology systems for Year 2000 compliance and determined that such
non-critical systems were compliant. The Company's systems did not subsequently
experience any significant disruptions as a result of the century change on
January 1, 2000. In 1999, the Company also completed communications with third
parties with whom it has important financial or operational relationships,
including Operating Company, the lessee of the substantial majority of the
Company's facilities, to determine the extent to which they were vulnerable to
the Year 2000 issue. Based on responses from these third parties, including
Operating Company, the Company determined that there were no third party related
Year 2000 noncompliance issues that would have a material adverse impact on the
Company's operations. These third parties, including Operating Company, did not
subsequently experience any significant disruptions as a result of the century
change on January 1, 2000 that had a material adverse impact on the Company's
operations.
The Company's information systems were Year 2000 compliant when acquired in the
1999 Merger, and as such, the Company incurred no significant expenses through
September 30, 2000, and the Company does not expect to incur any significant
costs in connection with the Year 2000 subsequent to September 30, 2000.
Operating Company incurred expenses allocable to internal staff, as well as
costs for outside consultants, computer systems remediation and replacement and
non-information technology systems remediation and replacement (including
validation). Through September 30, 2000, Operating Company spent approximately
$6.4 million which included $3.4 million related to the replacement of leased
equipment, $2.4 million for travel and services and $0.6 million for software.
These costs were expensed as incurred. Operating Company does not expect to
incur any significant costs in connection with the Year 2000 subsequent to
September 30, 2000.
FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS
The Company has historically reported Funds from Operations as a helpful measure
of the performance of the Company as an equity REIT. However, as the result of
the Restructuring and the Company's election to be taxed as a subchapter C
corporation, rather than as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, commencing
with the Company's 2000 taxable year, management no longer believes that Funds
from Operations is helpful to investors. As such, Fund from Operations has been
omitted from this report.
97
99
INFLATION
The Company does not believe that inflation has had or will have a direct
diverse effect on its operations. Prior to the Restructuring, the Operating
Company Leases generally contained provisions which will mitigate the adverse
impact of inflation on net income. These provisions included clauses enabling
the Company to pass through to Operating Company certain operating costs,
including real estate taxes, utilities and insurance, thereby reducing the
Company's exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from
inflation. Additionally, the Operating Company Leases contain provisions which
provide the Company with the opportunity to achieve increases in rental income
in the future. In connection with the Restructuring, the Operating Company
Leases were cancelled.

CORRECTIONS CORPORATION OF AMERICA AND SUBSIDIARIES
ITEM 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company's primary market risk exposures are to changes in U.S. interest
rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The Company is exposed to interest
rate risk related to its Amended Bank Credit Facility and certain other
indebtedness as discussed herein in "MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION-Debt Structure". The interest on
the Amended Bank Credit Facility and such other indebtedness is subject to
fluctuations in the market. If the interest rate for the Company's outstanding
indebtedness under the Amended Bank Credit Facility was 100 basis points higher
or lower, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000, the Company's
interest expense, net of amounts capitalized, would have been increased or
decreased by approximately $3.3 million and $9.1 million, respectively.
At September 30, 2000, the Company had outstanding $100.0 million of its 12.0%
senior notes with a fixed interest rate of 12.0%, $40.0 million of convertible
subordinated notes with a fixed interest rate of 10.0%, $30.0 million of
convertible subordinated notes with a fixed interest rate of 8.0% and $107.5
million of preferred stock with a fixed dividend rate of 8%. Similarly, as of
September 30, 2000, the Company had a note receivable in the amount of $137.0
million with a fixed interest rate of 12%. Because the interest and dividend
rates with respect to these instruments are fixed, a hypothetical 10% decrease
in market interest rates would not have a material impact on the Company. The
Company's Amended Bank Credit Facility required the Company to hedge $325.0
million of its floating rate debt on or before August 16, 1999. The Company has
entered into certain swap arrangements guaranteeing that it will not pay an
index rate greater than 6.51% on outstanding balances of at least (a) $325.0
million through December 31, 2001 and (b) $200.0 million through December 31,
2002.
Additionally, the Company may, from time to time, invest its cash in a variety
of short-term financial instruments. These instruments generally consist of
highly liquid investments with original maturities at the date of purchase
between three and 12 months. While these investments are subject to interest
rate risk and will decline in value if market interest rates increase, a
hypothetical 10% increase in market interest rates would not materially affect
the value of these investments.
The Company also uses, or intends to use, long-term and medium-term debt as a
source of capital. These debt instruments, if issued, will typically bear fixed
interest rates. When these debt instruments mature, the Company may refinance
such debt at then-existing market interest rates which may be more or less than
the interest rates on the maturing debt. In addition, the Company may attempt to
reduce interest rate risk associated with a forecasted issuance of new debt. In
order to reduce interest rate risk associated with these transactions, the
Company may occasionally enter into interest rate protection agreements. The
Company does not believe it has any other material exposure to market risks
associated with interest rates.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
STOCKHOLDER LITIGATION
The Company has entered into definitive settlement agreements regarding the
settlement of all outstanding stockholder litigation against the Company and
certain of its existing and former directors and executive officers. The
stipulations of settlement, which have received preliminary court approval,
provide for the "global" settlement of a series of class action and derivative
lawsuits brought against the Company by current and former stockholders of the
Company and its predecessors. These lawsuits were brought as the result of,
among other things, agreements entered into by the Company and Operating Company
in May 1999 to increase payments made by the Company to Operating Company under
the terms of certain agreements and previously announced transactions relating
to the Restructuring led by the Fortress/Blackstone investor group and Pacific
Life. The hearings for final court approval of the settlement are scheduled to
be completed within the next 60 days. Specifically, the settlement relates to
the following previously disclosed actions: (i) Bernstein v. Prison Realty
Trust, et al. (including Hardee v. Prison Realty Trust, et al. and Holle v.
Prison Realty Trust, et al., which were consolidated with Bernstein); (ii)
Neiger v. Doctor Crants, et al. (including Anderson v. Doctor Crants, et al. and
Brody v. Prison Realty Trust, Inc., et al., which were consolidated with
Neiger); (iii) Buchanan and Unger v. Prison Realty Trust, Inc., et al.; (iv) In
re Old CCA Securities Litigation; (v) In re Prison Realty Securities Litigation;
(vi) Mikovits v. Prison Realty Trust, et al.; (vii) Wanstrath v. Crants, et al.;
and (viii) Dasburg, S.A. v. Corrections Corporation of America, et al.
The definitive settlement agreements provide that the Company will pay or issue
the plaintiffs an aggregate of: (i) approximately $47.5 million in cash payable
solely from the proceeds under certain insurance policies; and (ii)
approximately $75.4 million in shares of the Company's common stock (or
17,235,715 shares at an agreed value of $4.375 per share). The shares of common
stock to be issued by the Company in accordance with the settlement agreements
will be subject to a stock price guarantee of $4.375 per share, which will
require the Company to pay or issue, at its option, cash or additional shares of
common stock to the plaintiffs if the trading price of the Company's common
stock does not reach $4.375 per share for a specified number of trading days
during the period from the completion of the settlement through August 31, 2001.
In addition, shares issued in the settlement are subject to certain
anti-dilution adjustments if the Company undertakes certain transactions
(generally, raising equity capital in excess of $110.0 million at less than the
stock price guarantee) during the period from August 31, 2001 through December
31, 2001. The terms of the settlement provide that the Company is required to
make an initial distribution of 17,235,715 shares of common stock at or about
the time of final court approval of the settlements which is expected in
December 2000 or in January 2001. An additional number of shares of the
Company's common stock will be issuable after August 31, 2001 if the market
price of the Company's common stock does not reach the designated guaranteed
stock price.
101
102
The Company's exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk relates to its
construction, development and leasing of the HMP Forrest Bank facility, located
in Salford, England. The Company entered into a 25-year lease and recognized a
receivable equal to the discounted cash flows to be received by the Company over
the lease term. The Company also has extended a working capital loan to the
operator of this facility. Under the terms of the agreements relating to such
payments, such payments to the Company are denominated in British pounds, rather
than in U.S. dollars. As a result, the Company bears the risk of fluctuations in
the relative exchange rate between the British pound and the U.S. dollar. At
September 30, 2000, the receivables due the Company and denominated in British
pounds totaled 58.3 million British pounds. A hypothetical 10% increase in the
relative exchange rate would have resulted in an additional $8.6 million
increase in value of these receivables and gain on foreign currency transaction,
and a hypothetical 10% decrease in the relative exchange rate would have
resulted in an additional $8.6 million decrease in value of these receivables
and loss on foreign currency transaction.
The Company has not hedged its exposure to these foreign currency exchange rate
fluctuations.
100
103
In addition to the payments of amounts specified above, the Company and the
plaintiffs have agreed to certain other matters in connection with the
settlement of the litigation, including: (i) a prohibition on payments of any
kind by the Company to insiders of the Company and the Company's affiliates in
connection with the Restructuring except as previously disclosed by the Company;
(ii) restrictions on the Company's ability to reprice stock options previously
issued to former or current directors or executive officers of the Company
without stockholder approval for a period of 24 months; and (iii) requirements
regarding the composition of the Company's Board of Directors and its committees
and the adoption by the Board of Directors of certain related corporate
governance policies.
OTHER LITIGATION
The Company was the subject of a purported class action complaint filed in the
Circuit Court for Davidson County, Tennessee, on January 28, 2000. The lawsuit,
captioned White v. Prison Realty Trust, Inc., et al., alleged that the
defendants engaged in the unfair and deceptive practice of permitting telephone
service providers exclusive service rights in return for illegal payments and
kickbacks, which exclusive agreements allow and require the providers to charge
unconscionable fees for phone services. This complaint was subsequently
dismissed by the Circuit Court on February 23, 2000. A similar complaint,
captioned Hunt v. Prison Realty Trust, Inc., was filed on February 23, 2000 in
the Circuit Court for Davidson County, Tennessee, naming as defendants the
Company, Operating Company, JJFMSI and PMSI. Plaintiffs are asking for
unspecified treble damages pursuant to the Tennessee Consumer Protection Act,
plus restitution of the amounts collected by the defendants under such
arrangements, as well as a permanent injunction restraining the defendants from
engaging in such conduct, in addition to unspecified damages. While the outcome
of this lawsuit is not determinable, the Company does not believe that such
litigation, if resolved against the Company, would have a material adverse
effect upon it business or financial position.
At December 31, 1998, Old CCA was a party to two inmate lawsuits at the
Northeast Ohio Correctional Center for wrongful deaths. These lawsuits were
assumed by the Company in the 1999 Merger. While the outcome of these lawsuits
is not determinable, the Company does not believe that such litigation, if
resolved against the Company, would have a material adverse effect upon its
business or financial position.
On June 9, 2000, a complaint captioned Prison Acquisition Company, LLC v. Prison
Realty Trust, Inc., et al. was filed in federal court in the United States
District Court for the Southern District of New York by Fortress/Blackstone to
recover in excess of $24.0 million in fees, consisting of a transaction
termination fee of $7.5 million, a $15.7 million commitment fee, and certain
expenses allegedly owed them under the terms of the securities purchase
agreement with Fortress/Blackstone as the result of the termination of the
agreement by the Company, Operating Company, PMSI and JJFMSI. The Company is
contesting this action vigorously. While the outcome of this lawsuit is not
determinable, any resulting liability would have a material adverse effect upon
the business or financial position of the Company.
102
104
On October 15, 1998, a complaint captioned Frederick & May Construction Co. v.
U.S. Corrections Corporation was filed in the Circuit Court for Lee County,
Kentucky alleging a breach of contract regarding the construction of
improvements to two correctional facilities acquired when Old Prison Realty
purchased and merged with U.S. Corrections Corporation ("USCC"). Frederick & May
Construction Co. ("Frederick & May") alleged that it had valid contracts for the
completion of the improvements and that the contracts were wrongfully
terminated. The issue of damages in this matter was tried to a jury in June
2000, subsequent to the court granting summary judgment in favor of Frederick &
May on the issue of the existence of a contract. While the jury originally
returned a verdict against USCC in an amount of approximately $1.0 million, the
Company and the plaintiffs have settled this lawsuit for $650,000 prior to the
Company's appeal of such audit.
On September 14, 1998, a complaint captioned Thomas Horn, Ferman Heaton, Ricky
Estes, and Charles Combs, individually and on behalf of the U.S. Corrections
Corporation Employee Stock Ownership Plan and its participants v. Robert B.
McQueen, Milton Thompson, the U.S. Corrections Corporation Employee Stock
Ownership Plan, U.S. Corrections Corporation, and Corrections Corporation of
America was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of
Kentucky alleging numerous violations of the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act ("ERISA"), including but not limited to a failure to manage the assets of
the U.S. Corrections Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the "ESOP") in the sole
interest of the participants, purchasing assets without undertaking adequate
investigation of the investment, overpayment for employer securities, failure to
resolve conflicts of interest, lending money between the ESOP and employer,
allowing the ESOP to borrow money other than for the acquisition of employer
securities, failure to make adequate, independent and reasoned investigation
into the prudence and advisability of certain transaction, and otherwise. The
plaintiffs are seeking damages in excess of $30.0 million plus prejudgment
interest and attorneys' fees. While the outcome of this lawsuit is not
determinable, in the event any resulting liability is not covered by insurance
proceeds, such liability would have a material adverse effect upon the business
or financial position of the Company. While the Company has insurance coverage
with respect to these claims, the insurance carrier has questioned whether they
received timely notice of these claims and, as a result, such carrier may
contest any claims against such coverage.
In February 2000, a complaint was filed in federal court in the United States
District Court for the Western District of Texas against Operating Company's
inmate transportation subsidiary, TransCor. The lawsuit, captioned Cheryl
Schoenfeld v. TransCor America, Inc., et al., names as defendants TransCor and
its directors. The lawsuit alleges that two drivers sexually assaulted and raped
the plaintiff during her transportation to a facility in Texas. The plaintiff
has submitted a $21.0 million settlement demand. The parties in this lawsuit are
currently preparing for motions for summary judgement. The Company and its
wholly owned subsidiary, as successor to Operating Company, and TransCor are
defending this action vigorously. It is expected that a portion of any
liabilities resulting from this litigation will be covered by liability
insurance. However, in the event any resulting liability is not covered by
insurance proceeds, such liability would have a material adverse effect upon the
business or financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries.
With the exception of the foregoing matters, neither the Company nor its
subsidiaries are presently subject to any material litigation nor, to the
Company's, or its subsidiaries', knowledge, is any
103
105
litigation threatened against the Company or any of its subsidiaries, other than
routine litigation arising in the ordinary course of business, some of which is
expected to be covered by liability insurance, and all of which collectively is
not expected to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial
statements of the Company and/or its subsidiaries.
ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
None.
ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES
On September 30, 2000, the Company was not in compliance with the following
applicable financial covenants contained in the Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement: (i) debt service coverage ratio; (ii) interest coverage ratio; (iii)
leverage ratio; and (iv) net worth. The Company is required to provide to Lehman
a certificate demonstrating compliance with the then-applicable financial
covenants contained in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement within 45 days
after the close of each fiscal quarter, subject to an applicable grace period of
five additional days. As a result, if the financial covenants described above
are not amended on or before November 17, 2000, an event of default will arise
under the terms of the Amended Bank Credit Facility. As more fully described in
"MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS-Financial Condition", the Company has initiated the process of
soliciting the approval of the requisite percentage of the senior lenders to
consent to and amend the terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement to
replace certain existing financial covenants contained therein and to obtain
their consent to certain additional transactions, as described in "MANAGEMENT'S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS-Financial Condition".
In connection with the Company's attainment of the June 2000 Waiver and
Amendment to its Amended Bank Credit Facility, the Company is prohibited from
declaring or paying any dividends with respect to the Company's currently
outstanding Series A Preferred Stock until such time as the Company has raised
at least $100.0 million in equity. Accordingly, the Company did not make such
payment with respect to the second quarter of 2000 when such payment was due on
or about July 15, 2000, and the Company did not make such payment with respect
to the third quarter of 2000 when such payment was due on or about September 15,
2000. Dividends with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock will continue to
accrue under the terms of the Company's Charter until such time as payment of
such dividends is permitted under the terms of the Amended Bank Credit Facility,
as amended by the June 2000 Waiver and Amendment.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
On September 12, 2000, the Company held a special meeting of its stockholders to
consider and approve certain matters related to the Restructuring. A total of
87,265,078 shares of the Company's common stock, constituting a quorum of those
shares entitled to vote, were represented at the
104
106
meeting by stockholders either present in person or by proxy. At the meeting,
the stockholders approved the following proposals presented to them pursuant to
the vote totals indicated next to each item:

Company's 1997 Employee Share Incentive Plan and the adoption of a new equity
incentive plan for the directors, executive officers and other key employees of
the Company, and to ratify the action of the Company's Board of Directors in
