(UNAUDITED)
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies followed for the quarterly financial reporting are the
same as those disclosed in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements included in the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended December 29, 1996. Certain prior year amounts have been
reclassified to conform with current year financial statement presentation.
2. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
The Corporation has entered into a three year agreement expiring in January 1998
with two financial institutions to sell, on an on-going basis, an undivided
interest in a defined pool of eligible receivables up to a maximum of
$35,000,000. The costs associated with this program are based upon the
purchasers' level of investment and cost of issuing commercial paper plus
predetermined fees. Such costs are included in "Interest Expense" in the
Consolidated Statements of Income. At March 30, 1997 and December 29, 1996,
there were no accounts receivable sold under this agreement.
3. LONG-TERM DEBT

Current assets $ 59,041
Noncurrent assets 16,965

5. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share"
requires the disclosure of basic and diluted earnings per share for periods
ending after December 15, 1997. The computation under SFAS No. 128 differs from
the primary and fully diluted earnings per share computed under APB Opinion No.
15 primarily in the manner in which potential common stock is treated. Basic
earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average
number of common shares outstanding. In the computation of diluted earnings per
share, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding is adjusted for
the effect of all potential common stock.
The basic and diluted earnings per share computed according to SFAS No. 128 for
the quarters ended March 30, 1997 and March 31, 1996 do not differ from the
primary earnings per share reported on the accompanying consolidated statements
of income.
6. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On May 2, 1997, subsequent to the end of the First Quarter of 1997, the
Corporation purchased the assets of the Jim King Companies for approximately
$10.6 million in cash, 69,231 shares of Wackenhut Series B common stock and
assumed approximately $4.2 million in liabilities. The 69,231 shares were issued
at a per share price of $14.30 and increased outstanding Wackenhut Series B
common stock to 10,879,016 shares as of May 2, 1997.

THE WACKENHUT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
The Corporation provides security-related and other support services through the
Services Business and correctional services through the Correctional Business.
Through the Services Business, the Corporation provides physical security
services, food services, and other related services to commercial and
governmental customers. Through the Correctional Business, the Corporation
provides correctional and detention facility design, development and management
services to government agencies. The Services Business is managed through two
operating groups: the North American Operations Group and the International
Operations Group. The Correctional Business is operated through the
Corporation's 55%-owned Wackenhut Corrections Corporation subsidiary ("WCC").
The Correctional Business includes the Australian subsidiary and United Kingdom

Outsourcing, Inc., a majority owned subsidiary. As of the First Quarter of 1997,
Oasis had approximately 1,000 employees under contract.

COMPARISON OF THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED MARCH 30, 1997 AND THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED
MARCH 31, 1996
REVENUES
Consolidated revenues increased 14.0% to $242.1 million in the thirteen weeks
ended March 30, 1997 (the "First Quarter of 1997") from $212.5 million in the
thirteen weeks ended March 31, 1996 (the "First Quarter of 1996").
Page 13 of 18
14
SERVICES BUSINESS
Services Business revenues increased 9.8% to $200.9 million in the First Quarter
of 1997 from $183.0 million in the First Quarter of 1996.
NORTH AMERICAN OPERATIONS GROUP. Revenues of the North American Operations Group
increased 7.8% to $168.3 million in the First Quarter of 1997 from $156.2
million in the First Quarter of 1996. The Security Services Division of the
North American Operations Group continued to increase its revenue base due
principally to an increase of approximately 500,000 billable hours over the same
quarter last year, which was principally attributable to the emphasis in its
national accounts program. In addition, the Custom Protection Officer(R)
business revenues increased 32.6% to $22.8 million during the First Quarter of
1997 compared to $17.2 million from the First Quarter of 1996. Revenues of the
Food Services Division increased 22.1% to $19.3 million in the First Quarter of
1997 from $15.8 million in the First Quarter of 1996, and revenues of the
Nuclear Division increased slightly to $14.3 million in the First Quarter of
1997 from $13.8 million in the First Quarter of 1996. However, revenues of the
WSI Division decreased 11.9% to $30.3 million in the First Quarter of 1997 from
$34.4 million in the First Quarter of 1996, due principally to reductions in
government funding at U.S. Department of Energy facilities and the loss of the
Strategic Petroleum Reserve contract with DynMcDermott. Management believes this
reduction in funding will continue to affect Wackenhut Services, Inc.'s revenues
and operating income.
INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS GROUP. International Operations Group revenues
increased 12.8% to $28.7 million in the First Quarter of 1997 from $25.4 million
in the First Quarter of 1996. The European Division revenues increased 31.8% to
$5.8 million in the First Quarter of 1997 from $4.4 million in the First Quarter
of 1996. The American Division revenues increased 8.6% to $15.1 million in the
First Quarter of 1997 from $13.9 million in the First Quarter of 1996. Revenues
of Wackenhut of Australia Pty., Ltd. increased slightly to $4.0 million in the
First Quarter of 1997 from $3.8 million in the First Quarter of 1996.
CORRECTIONAL BUSINESS
Correctional Business revenues increased 40.1% to $41.2 million in the First
Quarter of 1997 from $29.4 million in the First Quarter of 1996. During the
First Quarter of 1997, WCC opened 5 new facilities and increased the number of
compensated resident days to 1,071,000 from 749,000 during the First Quarter of
1996.
OPERATING INCOME
Consolidated operating income increased 93.9% to $4.0 million in the First
Quarter of 1997. Operating income of $2.1 million for the First Quarter of 1996
included a provision of $750,000 for relocation costs.
Page 14 of 18
15
SERVICES BUSINESS
Operating income from the Services Business decreased 33.5% to $728,000 in the
First Quarter of 1997 from $1.1 million in the First Quarter of 1996. The
decrease in operating income is largely due to an operating loss by Oasis
Outsourcing, Inc. of $333,000. Oasis Outsourcing, Inc. is a majority owned
subsidiary which began operations in the third quarter of 1996.
NORTH AMERICAN OPERATIONS GROUP. The operating income of the North American
Operations Group increased 20.2% to $4.6 million in the First Quarter of 1997
from $3.8 million in the First Quarter of 1996. Security Services Division
operating income increased 16.0% to $2.9 million in the First Quarter of 1997
from $2.5 million in the First Quarter of 1996 due to consistent increases in
billable hours and stable profit margins on increased revenues. WSI Division
operating income decreased 16.7% to $1.0 million in the First Quarter of 1997
from $1.2 million in the First Quarter of 1996 due to declining revenue.
INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS GROUP. International Operations Group operating income
increased slightly to $110,000 in the First Quarter of 1997. Wackenhut of
Australia Pty., Ltd. had an operating loss of $514,000 in the First Quarter of
1997 compared to an operating loss of $500,000 in the First Quarter of 1996.
Wackenhut of Australia Pty., Ltd. is expected to generate operating losses
throughout fiscal 1997, and management continues to monitor the operations of
this subsidiary closely; management is also evaluating the book value of
goodwill amounting to $3,018,000 for the purchase of security service contracts
by Wackenhut of Australia Pty., Ltd. in 1995, and is considering several
alternatives in relation to its operations.
CORPORATE EXPENSES AND UNDERWRITING LOSSES
Corporate expenses and underwriting losses increased 42.4% to $4.0 million in
the First Quarter of 1997 from $2.8 million in the First Quarter of 1996,
excluding relocation costs of $750,000 in 1996.
During the First Quarter of 1997, the corporation deferred additional costs
related to the development of information systems. Approximately $5.4 million of
costs related to systems development has been deferred as of March 30, 1997.
Management continues to evaluate the costs of these projects on a regular basis.
CORRECTIONAL BUSINESS
WCC's operating income increased by 90.3% to $3.3 million in the First Quarter
of 1997 from $1.7 million in the First Quarter of 1996, reflecting the increase
