MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
(Tabular information in thousands)

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Capital resources and liquidity

Cash and cash equivalents amounted to $13.8 million at January 1, 1995, or an
increase of $6 million from the end of 1993. Net cash generated by operating
activities was $13 million in 1994 and exceeded 1993 by $7.4 million.
Generally, the corporation has generated sufficient cash from operations to
finance normal growth.

Cash provided by investing activities amounted to $24.6 million and included
$14.0 million as a result of the reduction in marketable securities of the
captive reinsurance subsidiary and the $17.6 million proceeds from the sale of
a minority ownership (27%) in Wackenhut Corrections Corporation (WCC), a
subsidiary of the corporation. Capital expenditures of $5.1 million partially
offset these increases. 

Funds generated by operating and investing activities were used principally by
the corporation to payoff the senior notes and to reduce bank borrowings. Cash
dividends paid amounted to $2.8 million.

Current cash requirements consist of amounts needed for capital assets, working
capital related to increased revenue from corporate growth, the renovation or
construction of correctional facilities, possible acquisitions and the payment
of dividends. Cash requirements will be met from internally generated funds and
additional borrowings as necessary.

Management continues to pursue major contracts, to expand core business, and
pursue major contracts to provide security to detention centers and construct
detention facilities. These contracts may require substantial initial cash
outlays, which are partially or fully recoverable over the original term of the
contract.

As described in more detail in the Notes to Financial Statements, the
corporation and WCC entered into new credit agreements with banks that provide
$75 million for borrowings and the issuance of letters of credit. In addition,
subsequent to year end, the corporation entered into accounts receivable
securitization agreements with two financial institutions to sell an undivided
interest in a defined pool of trade accounts receivable up to a maximum of $40
million. In January 1995, the corporation prepaid the outstanding balance on
the first mortgage note on the headquarters building with proceeds from the
securitization of accounts receivable.

As a result of the debt restructuring and the initial public offering of WCC,
the corporation significantly increased its borrowing capacity and reduced the
ratio of total debt to total capital to 42% as of year-end 1994.

Management is unaware of any trends or events that are likely to result in
material changes in the liquidity of the corporation other than those factors
mentioned above.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Significant trends

During 1994, operating income increased $2.1 million, in spite of increased
competitive pressures and reduced profit margins. In the fourth quarter of
1994, the carrying value of the headquarters building was written down to
estimated realizable value, and a charge of $8.7 million was recognized as a
result of management's decision to sell the facility and relocate its corporate
headquarters. Strategic decisions made in previous years to diversify into the
corrections business and to pursue national security service contracts were
major contributing factors to the increase in operating income. In addition,
the unprofitable businesses that were discontinued in 1993 contributed to this
turnaround. The downsizing of defense business continued to impact revenue, but
to date has not affected profit margins. The effort to diversify government
business will continue in 1995.

Competitive pressures on billing rates of security services and reductions in
Department of Energy business are expected to continue. Increases in the cost
of workers' compensation, liability and health insurance have continued. In
addition, since the majority of the corporation's business is labor-intensive,
increases in state and federal wage requirements could have an impact on the
corporation's results of operations.

WCC increased revenues to $105.5 million and operating profits to $4.4 million
in 1994. The growth in the corrections business has been significant and should
continue to be a major factor in the overall performance of the corporation in
the future. In 1994, WCC won ten major contracts that will result in annual
operating revenues of $105 million and one-time construction and consulting
fees of $80 million in 1995 and 1996.

The restructuring of the corporation's debt was started in 1994 and finalized
early in 1995. This restructuring increased the corporation's debt capacity and
is expected to reduce interest expense in 1995. Management's decision to sell
the corporation's headquarters building in Coral Gables and move to a more
efficient building in a less expensive location should result in reduced annual
operating costs. Proceeds from the sale of the headquarters building will make
it possible for the corporation to further reduce debt and interest expense.

Consolidated revenues increased $83.5 million (13%) in 1994 over the prior
year, compared with revenue growth of 5% in 1993. The revenue growth of the
corporation for 1994 includes $42.7 million of WCC and $37.6 million of the
Security Services Division. Revenues from contracts with the Department of
Energy (DOE) decreased $11.0 million, while the International Group recorded an
increase in revenues of $11.0 million over the previous year, due principally
to growth in Central and South America.

The growth in 1994 revenues of WCC reflected the consolidation of Australasian
Correctional Management Pty., Ltd., (ACM), with revenues of $23.1 million. WCC
recorded a total increase in facility management revenues of $24.0 million,
including ACM. In addition, construction and design revenues increased fourfold
to $23.2 million during fiscal 1994 with revenues from the construction of
three facilities.

The increase in Security Services Division revenues, which represent the more
traditional line of business of the corporation, was largely due to the success
in obtaining national contracts with major corporations in the second half of
1993 and in 1994. In addition, the division was awarded a $34.7 million
contract by the State of Hawaii to supply security at eight airports in August
1994.

Revenues of Wackenhut Services were $8.1 million lower in 1994 than in 1993 as
a result of reductions in manpower requirements by the Department of Energy.
Contracts with the Department of Energy are typically cost reimbursable
contracts for which the division can earn award fees, based on performance
factors. Although award fees have not been reduced significantly, further
reductions in revenues could impact profit contribution from these contracts.
In order to compensate for the decreased DOE revenues, the division has
expanded the scope of its services and is actively pursuing contracts from
other governmental authorities and departments.

The increase in labor costs of $46.9 million (10%) and other operating expenses
of $27.6 million (17%) reflected the growth in business in Security Services
and WCC facility management. Furthermore, pass-through construction costs of
WCC increased $17.5 million in 1994 compared to 1993. The total increase in
other operating expenses was partially offset by a decrease in underwriting
losses of the casualty reinsurance subsidiary of $4.0 million.

Operating income was $6.6 million, or 0.9% of revenues in 1994, after deducting
$8.7 million to write-down the carrying value of the headquarters building to
estimated realizable value, compared to $4.5 million, or 0.7% of revenues in
1993. Several factors contributed to this increase. First, the increase in
Security Services revenues made a major contribution to operating income, in
spite of reduced profit margins. Second, excellent ratings at DOE facilities
increased operating income due to higher award fees. The Wackenhut Monitoring
Systems and Wackenhut Applied Technologies Center Divisions, which were sold or
discontinued in 1993, had combined operating losses of approximately $2 million
in that year, and underwriting losses of the casualty reinsurance subsidiary
decreased $4 million in fiscal 1994. And in 1993, the corporation also recorded
a $1.7 million non-recurring charge to operating income. In addition, in 1994
WCC reported operating income of $4.4 million, including the effect of the
consolidation of ACM, which represented $2.3 million. These favorable factors
were significantly offset by a charge of $8.7 million as a result of the
write-down of the carrying value of the headquarters building to estimated
realizable value.

Total other expense (net) of $12.3 million in 1994 resulted mainly from three
factors. First, interest expense amounted to $5.1 million and exceeded the
previous year by $874,000. Second, the liquidation of investments of the
captive reinsurance subsidiary resulted in lower interest and investment income
($1.6 million); however, the positive effect of this transaction on earnings
was not fully realized in 1994, but should be a factor in 1995.

Income before income taxes and extraordinary charge was $3 million for fiscal
1994, compared with $3.4 million in 1993. The provision for income taxes was
$17,000, due to partial utilization of capital loss carryforwards, targeted
jobs tax credits and tax exempt interest income of the captive reinsurance
subsidiary. The effective income tax rate was 14% in 1993 due to similar
factors, and a favorable federal income tax adjustment of $637,000 that
resulted from a revenue agent's examination for the years 1980 to 1986.

Minority interest expense (net of income taxes) increased $637,000 reflecting
the sale of a minority interest (27%) in WCC. Equity income of foreign
affiliates (net of income taxes) decreased $799,000 mainly as a result of the
consolidation of ACM in 1994.

Income before extraordinary charge was $2.3 million in 1994 versus $3.6 million
the year before. In 1994, the corporation prepaid the second senior note to an
insurance company and recognized an extraordinary charge for the early
extinguishment of debt in the amount of $887,000 (net of income taxes). The
corporation also recognized a $1.4 million extraordinary charge (net of income
taxes) for the early extinguishment of the first senior note in 1993.

Net income was $1.4 million in 1994, compared with $2.2 million in 1993.
