                             CCA PRISON REALTY TRUST
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  June 30, 1998

1. ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS

BACKGROUND AND FORMATION TRANSACTIONS

CCA Prison Realty Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust (the
"Company"), was formed on April 23, 1997 to acquire, develop, and lease private
and public correctional and detention facilities. The Company has elected to
qualify as a real estate investment trust (a "REIT") under the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

On July 18, 1997, the Company commenced operations after completing an initial
public offering (the "Initial Offering") of 21,275,000 of its common shares,
$.01 par value per share (the "Common Shares") (including 2,775,000 shares
issued as a result of the exercise of an over-allotment option by the
underwriters). The Common Shares were issued at an Initial Offering price of
$21.00 per share, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $446.8 million.
The aggregate proceeds to the Company, net of the underwriters' discount and
offering costs, were approximately $412.1 million.

The Company immediately used the Initial Offering proceeds to acquire nine
correctional and detention facilities (the "Initial Facilities") from
Corrections Corporation of America, a Tennessee corporation, and certain of its
subsidiaries (collectively, "CCA") for an aggregate purchase price of $308.1
million, payable in cash. The Company entered into agreements with CCA to lease
the Initial Facilities back to CCA pursuant to long-term, non-cancellable
"triple net" leases (the "Leases") which require CCA to pay all operating
expenses, taxes, insurance and other costs. All of the Leases have primary terms
ranging from 10-12 years which may be extended at the fair market rental rates
for three additional five-year periods upon the mutual agreement of the Company
and CCA.

Simultaneously, the Company entered into option agreements with CCA (the "Option
Agreements") pursuant to which the Company was granted the option to acquire and
leaseback to CCA any or all of five correctional and/or detention facilities
from CCA at any time during the three-year period following the acquisition of
the Initial Facilities for a purchase price generally equal to CCA's costs of
developing, constructing and equipping such facilities, plus 5% of such costs.
As of June 30, 1998, the Company has acquired two facilities pursuant to the
Option Agreements. In addition, the Company entered into an agreement (the
"Right to Purchase Agreement") with CCA whereby CCA granted the Company an
option to acquire, at fair market value, and leaseback to CCA at fair market
rental rates, any correctional or detention facility acquired or developed and
owned by CCA for a period of three years following the date CCA first receives
inmates at such facility. As of June 30, 1998, the Company has purchased two
facilities pursuant to the Right to Purchase Agreement. Facilities available for
purchase by the Company through the Option Agreements and the Right to Purchase
Agreements are collectively referred to herein as the "Option Facilities."

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The consolidated financial statements of the Company include all the accounts of
the Company and its subsidiaries, including Prison Realty Management, Inc., a
Tennessee corporation and wholly-owned management subsidiary. All significant
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited. The
financial statements, however, have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and in
conjunction with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission"). Accordingly, they do not include all of the
disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
solely of normal recurring matters) necessary for a fair presentation of the
financial statements for this interim period have been included. The results of
operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results
to be obtained for the full fiscal year. Reference is made to the audited
financial statements of the Company filed with the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the period from July 18, 1997 to December 31, 1997 with respect to
significant accounting and financial reporting policies as well as other
pertinent information of the Company.

3. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 130,
"Reporting Comprehensive Income", effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1998. SFAS No. 130 requires that changes in the amounts of certain
items, including gains and losses on certain securities, be shown in the
Financial Statements. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 130 on
January 1, 1998. The Company's comprehensive income is equivalent to net income
for the six months ended June 30, 1998.

4. REAL ESTATE PROPERTIES

On January 5, 1998, the Company acquired from CCA the 960 bed Davis County
Correctional Center located in Holdenville, Oklahoma for a purchase price of
$36.1 million.

On April 17, 1998, the Company and its newly-formed, wholly-owned subsidiary
USCA Corporation ("USCA") and U.S. Corrections Corporation, a privately-held
owner and former operator of correctional and detention facilities ("USCC"),
entered into and consummated an Agreement of Merger, (the "USCC Merger
Agreement"), whereby USCA merged with and into USCC and the Company acquired all
of the outstanding capital stock and derivative securities of USCC (the "USCC
Merger"), in exchange for a cash payment to the shareholders of USCC of
approximately $157.0 million. As a result of the USCC Merger, the Company also
assumed certain liabilities of USCC consisting of a bank credit facility, two
subordinated loans, and obligations outstanding for convertible, redeemable
preferred stock totaling approximately $79.4 million. Immediately prior to the
USCC Merger, CCA purchased USCC's facility management contracts and the
corresponding enterprise value of operations from USCC for $10.0 million in
cash. Accordingly, as a result of the USCC Merger, the Company acquired only
real estate properties in substance.

By virtue of the USCC Merger, the Company acquired four correctional and
detention facilities in Kentucky, one in Ohio and two, which are currently under
construction, in North Carolina. Such facilities currently have an aggregate
design capacity of approximately 5,200 beds. The Company will not operate the
acquired facilities but has entered into leases for the Kentucky facilities
with, and expects to lease the North Carolina facilities to, CCA, who will
operate the facilities, pursuant to long-term "triple-net" operating leases
under the terms of that certain Master Agreement to Lease, dated July 18, 1997,
between the Company and CCA. The Company will continue to lease the Ohio
facility to Hamilton County pursuant to the terms of an existing lease.



<PAGE>   8





On May 4, 1998, the Company acquired the Leo Chesney Center in Live Oak,
California for approximately $5.1 million. The 240 bed minimum security facility
is operated and leased by a private operator other than CCA.

On June 30, 1998, the Company signed a Master Lease and two Lease Agreements
with Community Education Partners ("CEP") under which the Company will provide
short term real estate development financing for two initial alternative schools
for juveniles which will be leased to CEP upon completion. Amounts expended for
CEP projects prior to June 30, 1998 total $2.2 million and total costs at
completion of the developments are expected to be $13.0 million. Completion of
the schools is expected on or about October 1998.

As of June 30, 1998, the Company had investments in 19 leased real estate
properties and four development properties, which are currently under
construction, with a total aggregate cost of $756.7 million. Thirteen of these
correctional and detention facilities have been purchased from CCA and leased
back to CCA. CCA currently leases 17 real estate properties from the Company.

5. BANK CREDIT FACILITY

On April 17,1998, the Company's $150.0 million revolving acquisition credit
facility (the "Bank Credit Facility") was increased by $75.0 million to
facilitate the acquisition of real estate properties through the USCC Merger.
Outstanding borrowings under the Bank Credit Facility were $215.0 million at
June 30, 1998.

The Company has subsequently entered into an amendment and restatement of the
Bank Credit Facility, maturing July 2000, to increase the total available
borrowings to $300.0 million, effective July 31, 1998.

6. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS

On March 2, 1998, the Board of Trustees declared a distribution of $0.425 per
common share for the quarter ended March 31, 1998, to common shareholders of
record on March 31, 1998. In addition, the Board of Trustees declared an initial
prorated quarterly dividend for the 8.0% Series A Cumulative Preferred Shares of
$0.417 per share to preferred shareholders of record on March 31, 1998, for the
period from January 30, 1998 through the dividend payment date of April 15,
1998. The aforementioned distributions were paid on April 15, 1998.

On June 26, 1998, the Board of Trustees declared a distribution of $0.425 per
common share for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 to common shareholders of
record on July 1, 1998. In addition, the Board of Trustees declared a quarterly
dividend for the 8.0% Series A Cumulative Preferred Shares of $0.50 per share to
preferred shareholders of record on July 1, 1998, through the dividend payment
date of July 15, 1998. The aforementioned distributions were paid on July 15,
1998.

7. NET INCOME PER SHARE

SFAS 128, "Earnings per Share," has been issued by the Financial Accounting
Standards Board effective for fiscal periods ending after December 15, 1997.
SFAS 128 establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings per share.
The Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS 128 in the fourth quarter of
1997. Under the standards established by SFAS 128, earnings per share is
measured at two levels: basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share.
Basic earnings per share for the Company was computed by dividing net income by
the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, or
21,576,000 shares. Diluted earnings per share was computed by dividing net
income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the
period after considering


<PAGE>   9




the additional dilution related to the Company's outstanding share options,
after assuming a buyback of shares under the treasury method.

8. PROPOSED MERGER WITH CORRECTIONS CORPORATION OF AMERICA

The Company has entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April
18, 1998 (the "Merger Agreement"), with CCA. Pursuant to and subject to the
terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, CCA will be merged with and into
the Company with each share of CCA common stock being converted into the right
to receive 0.875 Company common shares, $0.01 par value per share. The Merger is
subject to certain conditions, including approvals by regulatory governmental
agencies, approval by Company shareholders, approval by CCA shareholders and
certain other conditions. The Company expects that the transaction will be
consummated on or about January 1, 1999.

OVERVIEW.

The Company was formed on April 23, 1997, as a Maryland real estate investment
trust to capitalize on the opportunities created by the increased demand for
private correctional and detention facilities. The Company has elected to
qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes commencing with its taxable
year ending December 31, 1997.

On July 18, 1997, the Company commenced operations after completing an initial
public offering of 21,275,000 common shares (including 2,775,000 shares issued
as a result of the exercise of an over-allotment option by the underwriters)
(the "Initial Offering"). The 21,275,000 common shares were issued at the
Initial Offering price of $21.00, generating gross proceeds of $446.8 million.
The aggregate proceeds to the Company, net of the underwriters' discount and
offering costs, were approximately $412.1 million. Proceeds of the offering were
used to purchase correctional and detention facilities, as well as for initial
working capital.

The principal business strategy of the Company is to acquire correctional and
detention facilities that meet the Company's investment criteria, from both
private prison managers and government entities, to expand its existing
facilities, and to lease all such facilities under long-term leases to qualified
third-party operators, including affiliates of the sellers. The Company's
initial investments were privately-managed facilities that were owned and
operated by CCA. However, the Company is pursuing other opportunities, including
acquisitions and leasebacks of, or financings for, correctional facilities owned
and operated by various government entities and private operators other than
CCA. Substantially all of the Company's revenues are


<PAGE>   11




derived from: (i) rents received under triple net leases of correctional and
detention facilities; and (ii) interest earned from the temporary investment of
funds in short-term investments.

The Company, together with its wholly-owned management subsidiary, Prison Realty
Management, Inc., a Tennessee corporation, incurs operating and administrative
expenses including, principally, compensation expenses for its executive
officers and other employees, office rental and related occupancy costs and
various expenses incurred in the process of acquiring additional properties. The
Company is self-administered and managed by its executive officers and staff,
and does not engage a separate advisor or pay an advisory fee for administrative
or investment services, although the Company does engage legal, accounting, tax
and financial advisors. The primary non-cash expense of the Company is
depreciation of its correctional and detention facilities.

The Company expects to leverage its portfolio of real estate equity investments
and will incur long and short-term indebtedness, and related interest expense,
from time to time.

The Company has made distributions to its shareholders in amounts not less than
the amounts required to maintain REIT status under the Code and, in general, in
amounts exceeding taxable income.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

RENTAL REVENUES - For the three months and six months ended June 30, 1998,
rental revenues of $16.6 million and $30.1 million, respectively, were generated
from the leasing of correctional and detention facilities. Lease rates for all
correctional and detention facilities were 11.0% based upon original acquisition
costs.

INTEREST INCOME - For the three months and six months ended June 30, 1998,
interest income was $0.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively. Interest income
was earned through the investment of cash prior to the purchase of the real
estate properties.

DEPRECIATION EXPENSE - For the three months and six months ended June 30, 1998,
depreciation expense was $4.5 million and $8.6 million, respectively.

INTEREST EXPENSE - For the three months and six months ended June 30, 1998,
interest expense was $2.3 million and $2.9 million, respectively. Interest
expense is based on borrowings under the Company's Bank Credit Facility and
includes amortization of loan costs, net of capitalized interest on construction
in progress.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES - For the three months and six months ended
June 30, 1998, general and administrative expenses were $0.6 million and $1.0
million, respectively. General and administrative expenses were 3.5% and 3.3% of
rental revenues for the three months and six months ended June 30, 1998,
respectively. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of
management salaries and benefits, legal and other administrative costs.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES.

Upon completion of the Initial Offering, the Company received approximately
$412.1 million in net proceeds. The Company used these funds, borrowings under
the Bank Credit Facility (as herein defined), and cash provided from operations
to purchase 13 correctional and detention facilities at an aggregate cost of
$491.5 million. Initially, cash on hand was invested by the Company in
interest-bearing accounts and other short-term, interest-bearing securities that
are consistent with the Company's election to seek qualification for taxation as
a REIT. After the Company began utilizing the Bank Credit Facility, cash
available was utilized to reduce outstanding borrowings.

The Company expects to meet its short-term liquidity requirements generally
through cash provided by operations and borrowings under the Bank Credit
Facility. The Company believes that its net cash provided


<PAGE>   12




by operations will be sufficient to allow the Company to make distributions
necessary to enable the Company to maintain qualification as a REIT. All
facilities owned by the Company will be leased to third parties under triple net
leases, which require the lessee to pay substantially all expenses associated
with the operation of such facilities. As a result of these arrangements, the
Company does not believe it will be responsible for any significant expenses in
connection with the facilities during the terms of the Leases. The Company
anticipates entering into similar leases with respect to all properties acquired
in the future.

On March 2, 1998, the Board of Trustees declared a distribution of $0.425 per
common share for the quarter ended March 31, 1998, to common shareholders of
record on March 31, 1998. In addition, the Board of Trustees declared an initial
prorated quarterly dividend for the 8.0% Series A Cumulative Preferred Shares of
$0.417 per share to preferred shareholders of record on March 31, 1998, for the
period from January 30, 1998 through the dividend payment date of April 15,
1998. The aforementioned distributions were paid on April 15, 1998. The
distributions to the Company's common shareholders are in accordance with the
Code's requirements for qualification as a REIT.

On June 26, 1998, the Board of Trustees declared a distribution of $0.425 per
common share for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 to common shareholders of
record on July 1, 1998. In addition, the Board of Trustees declared a quarterly
dividend for the 8.0% Series A Cumulative Preferred Shares of $0.50 per share to
preferred shareholders of record on July 1, 1998, through the dividend payment
date of July 15, 1998. The aforementioned distributions were paid on July 15,
1998. The distributions to the Company's common shareholders are in accordance
with the Code's requirements for qualification as a REIT.

The Company closed on the $150.0 million Bank Credit Facility, maturing July
2000, contemporaneously with the closing of the Initial Offering. On April 17,
1998, the Company increased the Bank Credit Facility from $150.0 million to
$225.0 million in connection with the USCC merger. The Company has subsequently
entered into an amendment and restatement of the Bank Credit Facility to
increase the total available borrowings to $300.0 million, effective July 31,
1998. General provisions of the Bank Credit Facility remained unchanged by the
amendment and restatement and are as follows: the effective interest rate is
determined by adding 1.50% to the LIBOR rate for the interest period selected by
the Company. The Company may specify LIBOR rate loans of one, two, or three
month maturities. The Company may also borrow up to $5.0 million at the prime
rate for working capital purposes and repay such loans at any time. The Bank
Credit Facility is secured by all assets of the Company. The Company is subject
to ongoing compliance with a number of financial and other covenants under the
Bank Credit Facility, with which the Company is and has been in compliance. At
June 30, 1998, $215.0 million was outstanding under the Bank Credit Facility.

On January 30, 1998, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $103.4
million through its offering of 4,300,000 8.0% Series A Cumulative Preferred
Shares, 0.01 par value per share (including 300,000 Series A Cumulative
Preferred Shares issued as a result of the exercise of an over-allotment option
by the underwriters), at a price of $25 per share. The Company used
approximately $72.7 million of the preferred share offering proceeds to repay
outstanding indebtedness under the Bank Credit Facility.

As a result of the Company's acquisition of USCC, the Company expects to incur
additional construction costs of approximately $10.0 million related to two
facilities under construction in North Carolina. On June 30, 1998, the Company
signed a Master Lease and two Lease Agreements with Community Education Partners
("CEP") under which the Company will provide short term real estate development
financing for two initial alternative schools for juveniles which will be leased
to CEP at completion. Amounts expended for CEP projects prior to June 30, 1998
total $2.2 million and total costs at completion are expected to be $13.0
million. In addition, the Company has options with varying terms to purchase any
or all of ten Option Facilities from CCA for CCA's costs of developing,
constructing and equipping the facilities, plus 5% of such costs, aggregating
approximately $461.4 million. The Company also has an option to acquire, at fair
market value, and lease back to CCA, any correctional or detention facility
acquired or developed and owned by CCA in the future for a period of three years
following the date CCA first receives inmates at such facility.

CCA has formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Agecroft Properties, Inc., a Tennessee
corporation ("API"), which will design, develop, construct, finance, and
sublease a new 800 bed, medium security prison facility to be located in the
United  Kingdom on Agecroft Road in Salford, England (the "Agecroft Prison"). In
July 1998, the Company entered into a Refinancing Agreement with CCA, API, and
Agecroft Prison Management Limited, a company incorporated in England and Wales,
pursuant to which the Company will, upon the opening of the Agecroft Prison,
purchase all of the issued and outstanding stock of API. Estimated construction
cost for the facility is $80.0 million and the facility is expected to open in
January 2000.

The Company expects to meet its long-term liquidity requirements for the funding
of real estate property development and acquisitions by borrowing under the Bank
Credit Facility and by issuing in public or private transactions, equity or debt
securities. The Company anticipates that as a result of its initially low debt
to total capitalization ratio and its intention to maintain a debt to total
capitalization ratio of 50% or less, it will be able to obtain financing for its
long-term capital needs. However, there can be no assurance that such additional
financing or capital will be available on terms acceptable to the Company. The
Company may, under certain circumstances, borrow additional amounts in
connection with the renovation or expansion of facilities, the acquisition of
additional properties, or as necessary, to meet certain distribution
requirements imposed on REITs under the Code.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE.

While the Company has completed an assessment of its computer systems and
software applications and believes that both are "Year 2000" compliant, there
can be no assurance that coding errors or other defects will not be discovered
in the future. In addition, the Company has not initiated formal communications
with its lessee or with any of the entities which contract with its lessee to
determine the extent to which the Company is vulnerable to those third parties'
failure to remediate their own Year 2000 issues. The Company expects to address
this issue with these parties during 1998, which is prior to any anticipated
impact from the issue. Any Year 2000 compliance problem of the Company, its
lessee or other third parties could result in a material adverse effect on the
Company's business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition.

FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS.

Management believes Funds from Operations is helpful to investors as a measure
of the performance of an equity REIT because, along with cash flows from
operating activities, financing activities and investing activities, it provides
investors with an understanding of the ability of the Company to incur and
service debt and make capital expenditures. The Company computes Funds from
Operations in accordance with standards established by the White Paper on Funds
from Operations approved by the Board of Governors of the National Association
of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") in 1995, which may differ from the
methodology for calculating Funds from Operations utilized by other equity
REITs, and accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. The White
Paper defines Funds from Operations as net income (loss), computed in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), excluding gains (or
losses) from debt restructuring and sales of property, plus real estate related
depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated
partnerships and joint ventures. Further, Funds from Operations does not
represent amounts available for management's discretionary use because of needed
capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations, or other commitments
and uncertainties. Funds from Operations should not be considered as an
alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication
of the Company's financial performance or to cash flows from operating
activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of the Company's
liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund the Company's cash
needs, including its ability to make distributions. The Company believes that in
order to facilitate a clear understanding of the consolidated operating results
of the Company, Funds from Operations should be examined in conjunction with net
income as presented in the consolidated financial statements.
