NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Business -
Avalon Correctional Services, Inc. ("Avalon" or the "Company") (formerly
Avalon Community Services, Inc.) is an owner and operator of private community
correctional services. Avalon specializes in privatized community correctional
facilities and intensive correctional programming. Avalon is currently operating
in Oklahoma, Texas and Colorado with plans to significantly expand into
additional states. Avalon's business strategy is designed to elevate the Company
into a dominant provider of community correctional services by expanding its
operations through new state and Federal contracts and selective acquisitions.
Avalon owns a 250-bed minimum security facility in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma,; a
252-bed minimum security facility in Tulsa, Oklahoma,; a 150-bed adult minimum
security facility in Tulsa, Oklahoma; a 150-bed medium security facility in El
Paso, Texas; a 300- bed medium security facility in El Paso, Texas; a 160-bed
medium security juvenile facility in Union City, Oklahoma; a 135-bed minimum
security facility in Henderson, Colorado; and a 300-bed minimum security
multi-use facility in Greeley, Colorado. Avalon also operates a 35-bed minimum
security facility in Denver, Colorado, and a day reporting center in Northglen,
Colorado. The Colorado community corrections programs also provide
non-residential services to approximately 800 offenders in the State of
Colorado.
Principles of Consolidation -
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its wholly-owned subsidiaries after elimination of all material intercompany
balances and transactions.
Use of Estimates -
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires the use
of management's estimates and assumptions in determining the carrying values of
certain assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the
reported amounts for certain revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimated.
Cash and Cash Equivalents -
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original
maturities of three months or less when purchased and money market funds to be
cash equivalents.
Investments -
The Company accounts for certain investments in debt securities in the
following manner. Debt securities the Company has a positive intent and ability
to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity securities and are
reported at amortized cost. Debt securities bought and held principally for the
purpose of selling in the near term are classified as trading securities and
reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings.
Debt securities not classified as either held-to- maturity securities or trading
securities are classified as available-for-sale securities and reported at fair
value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax effects, excluded from
earnings and reported in other comprehensive income. The Company has classified
its entire debt securities portfolio as held-to-maturity securities.
Declines in the fair value of individual securities below cost or amortized
cost that are other than temporary result in write-downs included in earnings.
The specific identification method is followed in determining the cost of
securities sold.
Concentrations of Credit Risk -
Financial instruments potentially subjecting the Company to concentrations
of credit risk consist principally of temporary cash investments, accounts
receivable and notes receivable. The Company places its temporary cash
Page 4
<PAGE>
investments with high credit quality financial institutions and money market
funds and limits the amount of credit exposure to any one institution or fund.
Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are limited
due to the fact that a significant portion of the Company's receivables are from
state governments. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for
potential credit losses. Actual bad debt expenses have not been material. Credit
risk on a note receivable is partially mitigated by the collateralization of the
note by second lien on real estate.
Property and Equipment -
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for major
additions and improvements are capitalized, while minor replacements,
maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When property and
equipment is retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated
depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is
reflected in current operations. Depreciation is provided using the
straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
Buildings and Improvements 40 Years
Furniture and Equipment 5 to 7 Years
Transportation Equipment 3 to 15 Years
Impairment losses are recorded on long-lived assets when indicators of
impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated
by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amounts. Impairment losses
are recognized based upon the estimated fair value of the asset when required.
Income Taxes -
Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future
years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their
financial reporting amounts at each year-end based on enacted tax laws and
statutory tax rates applicable to the period in which the differences are
expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when
necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
Income tax expense is the tax payable for the period and the change during the
period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
Revenue Recognition -
The Company recognizes revenues as services are provided. Revenues are
generally earned based upon the number of inmates on a per diem basis at the
Company's correctional facilities. Correctional revenues are received monthly
from various governmental agencies.
Development Costs -
Pursuant to Statement of Position 98-5 "Reporting on the Costs of Start Up
Activities", the Company expenses development and new facility opening costs as
incurred.
Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share -
Basic income (loss) per share has been computed on the basis of weighted
average shares outstanding during each period. Diluted income per share has been
computed based on the assumption that all dilutive options and warrants are
exercised.
Interim Financial Statements -
The consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2000 and the statements of
operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 are
unaudited and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments that are
necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position as of such date and
the results of operations and cash flows for the period then ended. All such
adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature.
The financial statements included herein have been prepared in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles and should be read in conjunction
with the December 31, 1999 Form 10-KSB filing. Footnote disclosures which would
substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the most recent annual
report on Form 10-KSB have been condensed or omitted. The results of operations
for the three months ended March 31, 2000, are not necessarily
Page 5

indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year ended
December 31, 2000.

================ ===============
The Company completed a senior credit facility with Fleet Capital
Corporation on February 25, 1999. The Company utilized existing cash reserves in
February 1999 to retire $5,053,000 in existing indebtedness upon the completion
of the senior credit facility. The difference between the Company's carrying
value of debt and the amounts paid to extinguish the debt resulted in an
extraordinary loss of $35,000 recognized in 1999. The senior credit facility has
certain financial covenants requiring the Company to maintain certain earnings
and financial ratios among other things.
The Company completed a $15,000,000 private placement of debt and equity
with an investment company on September 16, 1998. Pursuant to the terms of the
agreement, the Company tendered an unsecured subordinated note with a face value
of $10,000,000 bearing interest of 12.5% with interest payable in quarterly
installments until December 31, 2005, when the first of four quarterly principal
installments are due. The Company also tendered 1,622,448 shares of redeemable
common stock to the investment company. These shares are subject to repurchase
by the Company under certain circumstances, or beginning September 16, 2003 at
the holders option, at the then current average traded price of the stock. The
Company is amortizing the difference between the carrying value and the
estimated redemption price of the stock by periodic charges / credits to
additional paid-in capital. The financial covenants require the Company, among
other things, to maintain certain earnings and debt coverage ratios.
The Company obtained an independent fair value appraisal of the debt and
equity instruments reflecting a fair value allocation of the debt of $10,365,000
and the fair value allocation of the redeemable common stock of $4,635,000. The
original issue premium of $365,000 is being accreted as a reduction of interest
expense over the term of the debt instrument. Debt issue costs of $1,654,000
(including $266,000 representing the fair value of warrants issued to financial
advisors) have been allocated to the debt and redeemable common stock based upon
their fair values. Costs of $511,000 allocated to the redeemable common stock
reduced its original book value to $4,124,000. Costs of $1,143,000 allocated to
the debt instrument are included in other assets and are being
Page 6
<PAGE>
amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt instrument using the
effective interest method.
NOTE 3. CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES
The Company completed a private placement of $4,150,000 of convertible
debentures on September 12, 1997. The convertible debentures bear interest at
7.5% and mature on September 12, 2007. The convertible debentures may be
redeemed by the Company at any time after May, 2000 at 106.5% of principal,
declining to 100% at maturity. The convertible debentures are convertible into
common stock at $3.00 per share at any time until their maturity. The
convertible debenture holders signed agreements to subordinate the debentures to
the $10,000,000 face value note issued on September 16, 1998. The Company
redeemed $300,000 of convertible debentures at face value in September 1998.
NOTE 4. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
The Company completed a private placement in August 1994, of 1,000,000
shares of common stock and 1,000,000 Class C stock purchase warrants and an
additional 100,000 shares of common stock and 100,000 Class C stock purchase
warrants were reserved for underwriters. The Company issued an additional 25,000
and 165,000 Class C stock purchase warrants, respectively, in 1997 and 1996. The
Company has issued 452,500 shares of common stock upon the exercise of the Class
C stock purchase warrants through March 31, 2000. Warrants totaling 50,000
shares were exercised during the three months ending March 31, 2000 and the
remainder expired March 31, 2000.
The Company issued 200,000 Class D stock purchase warrants in August 1996,
in connection with the acquisition of the El Paso Intermediate Sanction
Facility. The Class D stock purchase warrants provide for the purchase of the
Company's common stock at any time until their expiration at August 2, 2001. The
exercise price of the class D warrants is $4.20 per share as of March 31, 2000.
The warrants may be redeemed by the Company upon certain events for $.01 per
share.
The Company issued Class E Warrants to purchase 79,000 shares of Common
Stock in September 1997, in connection with the private placement of Convertible
Debentures. The Company recognized $148,000 of cost based upon the difference in
the exercise price of the Class E warrants and the current market price of the
common stock on the date of issuance. This cost was recorded as debenture issue
costs and is classified in other assets on the balance sheet. The debenture
issue cost is amortized to expense over the term of the convertible debentures.
The Class E stock purchase warrants provide for the purchase of the Company's
common stock at a price of $3.00 per share at any time until their expiration at
August 2, 2001. The warrants may be redeemed by the Company upon certain events
for $.01 per share.
The Company issued 200,539 stock purchase warrants to financial advisors in
September 1998, in connection with the $15,000,000 private placement. The stock
purchase warrants provide for the purchase of the Company's common stock at any
time until their expiration at September 2002. The exercise price of the
warrants is $3.75 per share as of March 31, 2000. The warrants may be redeemed
by the Company upon certain events for $.01 per share. The fair value of the
warrants was allocated between the proceeds the debt and equity issues as debt
issue cost and a reduction in redeemable common stock.
A 1994 agreement provided for the issuance of an option to issue 750,000
common stock purchase warrants to purchase common stock at $1.50 per share for
each dollar of Company debt guaranteed by the Company's CEO. The warrants will
have a five year term from the date of issuance. Management believes that the
warrants had no economic value when granted, and accordingly, no amount has been
assigned to such warrants in the financial statements.
NOTE 5. STOCK OPTION PLAN
The Company adopted a stock option plan (the "Plan") providing for the
issuance of 250,000 shares of Class A common stock pursuant to both incentive
stock options, intended to qualify under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue
Code, and options that do not qualify as incentive stock options
("non-statutory"). The Option Plan was registered with the Securities and
Exchange Commission in November 1995. The purpose of the Plan is to provide
continuing incentives to the Company's officers, key employees, and members of
the Board of Directors. The options generally vest over a four or five- year
period with a ten year expiration period. The Company amended its stock option
plan on December 1, 1996, increasing the number of shares available under the
Plan to 600,000. There are currently outstanding non-statutory options providing
for the issuance of 493,000 shares of Class A
Page 7
<PAGE>
common stock at exercise prices ranging from $1.50 to $4.25 per share. Options
providing for the issuance of 236,722 shares were exercisable at March 31, 2000.
NOTE 6. LITIGATION
The Company is a party to litigation arising in the normal course of
business. Management believes that the ultimate outcome of these matters will
not have a material effect on the Company's financial condition or results of
operations.
NOTE 7. ACQUISITIONS AND CONTRACT AWARDS
The Company acquired the management contract and correctional contracts of
Adams Community Corrections Program, Inc. (ACCP) from CSC, Inc. (the Adams
County Operations) on April 30, 1999. The purchase price was allocated
$1,515,000 to contract rights and $1,450,000 to real estate. The management
contract provides for fees, overhead and direct expense reimbursement from ACCP.
The revenues and expenses of the contracts subsequent to April 30, 1999 are
included in operations of the Company.
The Adams County Operations include three facilities, the Phoenix Center,
Loft House and Garland Center. The Phoenix Center is a 135-bed halfway house
located in Henderson, Colorado. The Loft House is a 35-bed halfway house located
in Denver, Colorado. The Garland Center is a day reporting center in Northglenn,
Colorado providing services to non-residential offenders.
The Company acquired The Villa at Greeley, LLC on June 9, 1999. The Villa
at Greeley is a private provider of residential services and programs
forcommunity corrections offenders. The Company assumed management and began
operating the facility effective June 1, 1999. The Villa at Greeley, LLC
provides services to approximately 300 individuals for residential services and
also provides day reporting and non-residential services to approximately 560
offenders. The Company also purchased the buildings and land in Greeley,
Colorado utilized by the Villa at Greeley, LLC. Pursuant to the terms of the
agreement, all assets and liabilities existing at June 1, 1999 were excluded
from the transaction with the exception of the property, plant, and equipment
and contracts with various state and local government agencies and legal rights.

AVALON CORRECTIONAL SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
Liquidity and Capital Resources -
The Company's business strategy is to focus on the private corrections
industry, expanding its operations into additional states through new Federal
and state contracts and selective acquisitions. The successful implementation of
the Company's growth plan has created the need for additional capital and
financing. The Company has been successful in securing $37 million of new
capital and credit facilities since September 1997.
Working capital at March 31, 2000 was $983,000, representing a current
ratio of 1.40:1, compared to working capital of $915,000 and a current ratio of
1.36:1 at December 31, 1999.
The Company had approximately $1.9 million of cash and revolving credit
available for new projects at March 31, 2000. The Company believes it has
adequate cash reserves and cash flow from operations to meet its current cash
requirements. The Company expects current contracts to generate sufficient
income to increase cash reserves, while minimizing income taxes through the
utilization of tax loss carryforwards.
The Company secured an $18 million senior credit facility with Fleet
Capital Corporation in February 1999. The credit facility with Fleet Capital
Corporation was amended in December of 1999 to provide for a credit facility
consisting of a $13.5 million term loan and a revolving line of credit equal to
the lesser of $3 million or 80% of eligible accounts receivable.
Results of Operations -
Three Months Ended March 31, 2000 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31,
1999.
Total revenues increased by 116% to $5.25 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2000 from $2.43 million for the three months ended March 31,
1999. The increase was a result of the opening of the Union City Juvenile Center
in February 1999, the acquisition of the Adams County Operations in April 1999,
the acquisition of the Villa at Greeley in June 1999, the opening of the El Paso
Multi-Use Facility in June 1999, and increased revenues from Oklahoma
operations.
Revenues in the first quarter of 2000 were enhanced by the Union City
Juvenile Center providing $937,000 of revenue, the El Paso Multi-Use Facility
providing $691,000 of revenue, Adams County Operations providing $793,000 of
revenue, and the Villa at Greeley providing $1,280,000 of revenue.
The Company had net income for the three months ended March 31, 2000 of
$215,000 or $.05 basic and diluted income per share, as compared to a net loss
for the three months ended March 31, 1999 of $302,000 or $.06 basic and diluted
loss per share. The Company's significant improvement was the result of

for the three months ended March 31, 2000 from $330,000 for the three months

due to increased staffing for the Company's new contracts and acquisitions. The
