                    (A MARYLAND REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST)
                             NOTES TO BALANCE SHEET
                                  JUNE 30, 1997


1.       ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS

         CCA Prison Realty Trust (the "Company") was formed April 23, 1997 as a
Maryland real estate investment trust. The Company has had no operations
through June 30, 1997 but has issued 1,000 common shares $0.01 par value per
share of the Company (the "Common Shares") to a founding shareholder.

         As operations of the Company have not commenced, there are no
statements of operations or cash flows for the period ended June 30, 1997, and,
accordingly, no such statements are presented. The Company has incurred
substantial expenses in the organizational period which will be paid in
conjunction with the formation transactions as described in note 4. The
estimated liability for organizational costs and the corresponding reduction
to the Company's capital account is $1,250,000; no effect on current year
operations is anticipated from these liabilities. The Balance Sheet has been
prepared by the Company in accordance with the accounting policies described in
its Registration Statement on Form S-11 and should be read in conjunction with
the notes thereto.

        In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only
normally recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial
position at June 30, 1997 have been made.

2.       FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

         At the earliest possible date, the Company plans to qualify as a real
estate investment trust ("REIT") under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended and, accordingly, will not be subject to federal income taxes on
amounts distributed to shareholders provided that it distributes at least 95%
of its real estate investment trust taxable income and meets certain other
requirements.

3.       PREFERRED SHARES

         No preferred shares $0.01 par value per share of the Company (the
"Preferred Shares"), are outstanding. Preferred Shares may be issued from time 
to time without shareholder approval with terms and conditions established by 
the Board of Trustees of the Company.

4.       PRO FORMA RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         In its Registration Statement on Form S-11 (Commission File No.
333-25727) filed with the Commission, the Company included certain pro forma
results of operations which estimated the Company's financial position, as of
the year ended December 31, 1996 and the three months ended March 31, 1997, as
if the Company had completed the Offering and acquired the Facilities. 

         The Company estimates that after giving effect to the Offering and the
acquisition of the Initial Facilities and the Northeast Ohio Option Facility,
revenues would have been $41.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1996 and
$10.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997. Net income would have
been $28.5 million or $1.51 per share for the year ended December 31, 1996, and
$7.1 million or $0.38 per share for the three months ended March 31, 1997.
Depreciation, amortization and other non-cash expenses would have been $10.5
million for the year ended December 31, 1996 and $2.6 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1997, respectively.


5.       SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

         In July 1997, the Company raised net proceeds of approximately $417
million in its initial public offering (the "Offering") and consummated the
transactions described below (collectively, the "Formation Transactions"). In
the Offering the Company sold 21,275,000 of its Common Shares,  (including
2,775,000 Common Shares sold upon the exercise in full of the underwriters'
over-allotment option).

         On July 18, 1997, the Company acquired the following nine correctional
and detention facilities (the "Initial Facilities") from CCA and certain of its
subsidiaries for an aggregate purchase price of $308.1 million:

         (i)    Houston Processing Center, located in Houston, Texas;
         (ii)   Laredo Processing Center, located in Laredo, Texas;
         (iii)  Bridgeport Pre-Parole Transfer Facility, located in Bridgeport,
Texas;
         (iv)   Mineral Wells Pre-Parole Transfer Facility, located in Mineral
Wells, Texas;
         (v)    West Tennessee Detention Facility, located in Mason, Tennessee;
         (vi)   Leavenworth Detention Center, located in Leavenworth, Kansas;
         (vii)  Eloy Detention Center, located in Eloy, Arizona;
         (viii) Central Arizona Detention Center, located in Florence, Arizona;
and
         (ix)   T. Don Hutto Correctional Center, located in Taylor, Texas.

Additionally, on July 28, 1997, the Company exercised its option to purchase the
Northeast Ohio Correctional Center, located in Youngstown, Ohio from CCA. The
Company acquired the Northeast Ohio Correctional Center for a purchase price of
$70.1 million, (the Northeast Ohio Correctional Center, along with the Limited
Facilities, are sometimes referred to collectively as the "Facilities"). The
Company purchased a 100% interest in the real property and all tangible personal
property associated with each of the Facilities from CCA. The real and personal
property associated with each of the Facilities was used by CCA in the ownership
and operation of correctional  and detention facilities. The Company will
continue to use the property in the same manner by leasing each of the
Facilities back to CCA who will use the property in the operation of
correctional and detention facilities. 

         Simultaneously with the acquisition of each of the Facilities by the
Company, the Company entered into agreements with CCA to lease the Facilities
back to CCA pursuant to long-term, non-cancelable triple net leases which
require CCA to pay all operating expenses, taxes, insurance and other costs.
All of the leases provide for base rent with certain annual escalations and
have primary terms ranging from 10-12 years which may be extended at the fair
market rates for three additional five-year periods upon the mutual
agreement of the Company and CCA.

         Further, the Company has remaining options at any time during the
three-year period following the acquisition of the Initial Facilities to 
purchase and leaseback any or all of four indentified, facilities from CCA or
its subsidiaries for CCA's or such subsidiaries' cost of developing,
constructing and equipping such facilities, plus 5% of such costs, aggregating
approximately $149.5 million. In addition, the Company 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. The obligations of CCA under the Leases are cross-defaulted to each
of the other Leases with respect to payment defaults and certain other
defaults. Each Lease (and any future lease with CCA) may be terminated by the
Company, at its option, at any time after the first five years of the lease,
upon 18 months written notice to CCA. Finally, contemporaneously with the
closing of the Offering, the Company entered into a $150 million bank credit
facility (the "Bank Credit Facility") from a group of banks led by First Union
National Bank of Tennessee.

         The Company will be dependent on CCA for its initial revenues. Also,
due to the nature of the business and the contractual relationships with CCA,
including the operating leases, the Company's ability to be successful is
dependent on a number of factors, including key personnel, continuing
qualification as a REIT and continued availability of financial resources.

5. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

         In July 1997, the Company raised net proceeds of approximately $417
million in its initial public offering (the "Offering") and consummated the
transactions described below (collectively, the "Formation Transactions"). In
the Offering the Company sold 21,275,000 of its common shares, $0.01 par value
per share (including 2,775,000 shares sold upon the exercise in full of the
underwriters' over-allotment option).

         On July 18, 1977, the Company acquired the following nine correctional
and detention facilities (the "Initial Facilities") from CCA and certain of its
subsidiaries for an aggregate purchase price of $308.1 million:

        (i)    Houston Processing Center located in Houston, Texas;
        (ii)   Laredo Processing Center located in Laredo, Texas;
        (iii)  Brideport Pre-Parole Transfer Facility, located in Bridgeport,
Texas;
        (iv)   Mineral Wells Pre-Parole Transfer Facility, located in Mineral
Wells, Texas;
        (v)    West Tennessee Detention Facility, located in Mason, Tennessee;
        (vi)   Leavenworth Detention Center, located in Leavenworth, Kansas;
        (vii)  Eloy Detention Center, located in Eloy, Arizona;
        (viii) Central Arizona Detention Center, located in Florence, Arizona;
and
        (ix)   T. Don Hutto Correctional Center, located in Taylor, Texas.

Additionally, on July 28, 1997, the Company exercised its option to purchase
the Northeast Ohio Correctional Center, located in Youngstown, Ohio from CCA.
The Company acquired the Northeast Ohio Correctional Center from CCA for a
purchase price of $70.1 million. The Company purchased a 100% interest in the
real property and all tangible personal property associated with each of the
facilities from CCA. The real and personal property associated with each of the
Facilities was used by CCA in the ownership and operation of correctional and
detention facilities. The Company will continue to use the property in the same
manner by leasing each of the Facilities back to CCA who will use the property
in the operation of correctional and detention facilities. The source of funds
for the purchase price of the facilities from CCA was from proceeds of the
Company's sale of an aggregate of 21,275,000 common shares in its initial
public offering.

        Simultaneously with the acquisition of each of the facilities by the
Company, the Company entered into agreements with CCA to lease the facilities
back to CCA pursuant to long-term, non-cancelable triple net leases which
require CCA to pay all operating expenses, taxes, insurance and other costs.
All of the leases provide for base rent with certain annual escalations and
have primary terms ranging from 10-12 years which may be extended at the fair
market rates for three additional five-year periods upon the mutual agreement
of the Company and CCA.

        Further, the Company has remaining options at any time during the
three-year period following the acquisition of the facilities to purchase any
or all of four identified, remaining option facilities from CCA or its
subsidiaries for CCA's costs of developing, constructing and equipping such
facilities, plus 5% of such costs, aggregating approximately $149.5 million. In
addition, the Company 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 Service
Commencement Date (as defined in the Company's Registration Statement on Form
S-11, Registration No. 333-25727) with respect to such facility.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.

OVERVIEW

         CCA Prison Realty Trust (the "Company") was formed as a Maryland real
estate investment trust on April 23, 1997. The Company had no operations for
the period ended June 30, 1997 See "-- Results of Operations." The Company is 
a self-administered real estate investment trust ("REIT") formed to capitalize
on the opportunities created by the increased demand for private correctional
and detention facilities. The Company expects to qualify as a REIT for federal
income tax purposes commencing with its taxable year ending December 31, 1997.

         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 intends to initially focus its investments on privately-managed
facilities that are owned and operated by Corrections Corporation of America, a
Tennessee corporation ("CCA"), or its subsidiaries. However, the Company will
also pursue other opportunities, including acquisitions and lease backs of, or
financings for, correctional facilities owned and operated by various government
entities and private operators other than CCA or its subsidiaries. Substantially
all of the Company's initial revenues are expected to be 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 will incur operating and administrative expenses including,
principally, compensation expense 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 will be
self-administered and managed by its executive officers and staff, and will not
engage a separate advisor or pay an advisory fee for administrative or
investment services, although the Company will engage legal, accounting, tax and
financial advisors from time to time. The primary non-cash expense of the 
Company will be the depreciation of its correctional and detention facilities.

         The Company also 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.


<PAGE>   7
         The Company intends to make distributions to its shareholders in
amounts not less than the amounts required to maintain REIT status under the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and, in general,
in amounts exceeding taxable income. The Company's ability to make
distributions will depend upon its Cash Available or Distribution (defined
generally as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles) of the Company plus depreciation and amortization minus
capital expenditures and principal payments on indebtedness).

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

         In July 1997, the Company raised net proceeds of approximately
$417.7 million in its initial public offering (the "Offering") and used a 
portion of such proceeds to consummate the transactions described below
(collectively, the "Formation Transactions"). In the Offering the Company sold
21,275,000 of its Common Shares, $0.01 par value per share (the "Common 
Shares") (including 2,775,000 Common Shares sold upon the exercise in full of 
the underwriters' over-allotment option).

         On July 18, 1997, the Company acquired the following nine correctional
and detention facilities (the "Initial Facilities") from CCA and certain of its
subsidiaries for an aggregate purchase price of $308.1 million:

         (i)      Houston Processing Center located in Houston, Texas;
         (ii)     Laredo Processing Center located in Laredo, Texas;
         (iii)    Bridgeport Pre-Parole Transfer Facility, located in
                  Bridgeport, Texas;
         (iv)     Mineral Wells Pre-Parole Transfer Facility, located in Mineral
                  Wells, Texas;
         (v)      West Tennessee Detention Facility, located in Mason,
                  Tennessee;
         (vi)     Leavenworth Detention Center, located in Leavenworth, Kansas;
         (vii)    Eloy Detention Center, located in Eloy, Arizona; 
         (viii)   Central Arizona Detention Center, located in Florence,      
                  Arizona; and
         (ix)     T. Don Hutto Correctional Center, located in Taylor, Texas.

Additionally, on July 28, 1997, the Company exercised its option to purchase the
Northeast Ohio Correctional Center, located in Youngstown, Ohio from CCA. The
Company acquired the Northeast Ohio Correctional Center from CCA for a purchase
price of $70.1 million (the Northeast Ohio Correctional Center, along with the
Initial Facilities, are sometimes referred to collectively as, the
"Facilities"). The Company purchased a 100% interest in the real property and
all tangible personal property associated with each of the Facilities from CCA.
The real and personal property associated with each of the Facilities was used
by CCA in the ownership and operation of correctional and detention facilities.
The Company will continue to use the property in the same manner by leasing each
of the Facilities back to CCA who will use the property in the operation of
correctional and detention facilities.

         Further, the Company has remaining options at any time during the
three-year period following the acquisition of the Initial Facilities to
purchase and leaseback any or all of four identified correctional and detention
facilities from CCA or its subsidiaries for CCA's or such subsidiaries' costs
of developing, constructing and equipping such facilities, plus 5% of such
costs, aggregating approximately $149.5 million (the "Option Facilities"). In
addition, the Company 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. As a result of these transactions, the
Company and CCA will have several ongoing relationships, some of which could
give rise to possible conflicts of interest.



<PAGE>   8

         Simultaneously with the acquisition of each of the Facilities by the
Company, the Company entered into agreements with CCA to lease the Facilities
back to CCA pursuant to long-term, non-cancelable triple net leases (the
"Leases"), which require CCA to pay all operating expenses, taxes, insurance and
other costs. All of the leases provide for base rent with certain annual
escalations and have primary terms ranging from 10-12 years which may be
extended at the fair market rates for three additional five-year periods upon
the mutual agreement of the Company and CCA. The obligations of CCA under the
Leases are cross-defaulted to each of the other Leases with respect to payment
defaults and certain other defaults. Each Lease (and any future lease with CCA)
may be terminated by the Company, at its option, at any time after the first
five years of the lease, upon 18 months written notice to CCA.

         Finally, contemporaneously with the closing of the Offering, the
Company entered into a $150 million bank credit facility (the "Bank Credit
Facility") from a group of banks led by First Union National Bank of Tennessee.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         The Company had no operations for the period ending June 30, 1997. As
of June 30, 1997, the Company did incur $1.25 million of accrued expenses in
connection with the Offering. The Company's future results of operations will
depend upon the financial performance of the Facilities, the Company's ability
to acquire other correctional and detention facilities, and the terms of any
subsequent investments the Company may make.

PRO FORMA RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         In its Registration Statement on Form S-11 (Commission File No.
333-25727) filed with the Commission, the Company included certain pro forma
results of operations which estimated the Company's financial position, as of
the year ended December 31, 1996 and the three months ended March 31, 1997, as
if the Company had completed the Offering and acquired the Facilities. 

         The Company estimates that after giving effect to the Offering and the
acquisition of the Initial Facilities and the Northeast Ohio Option Facility,
revenues would have been $41.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1996 and
$10.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997. Net income would have
been $28.5 million or $1.51 per share for the year ended December 31, 1996, and
$7.1 million or $0.38 per share for the three months ended March 31, 1997.
Depreciation, amortization and other non-cash expenses would have been $10.5
million for the year ended December 31, 1996 and $2.6 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1997, respectively.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The Company anticipates that its initial working capital and cash from 
operations, together with the Bank Credit Facility, will provide adequate
liquidity to conduct its operations, fund administrative and operating costs,
interest payments, and acquisitions and allow distributions to the Company's
shareholders in accordance with the Code's requirements for qualification as a 
REIT and to avoid any corporate level federal income or excise tax.


<PAGE>   9
         In order to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, the
Company will be required to make substantial distributions to its shareholders.
The following factors, among others, will affect the Company's ability to make
distributions and will influence the decisions of the Board of Trustees
regarding distributions: (i) scheduled increases in base rent under the Leases
with respect to the Facilities; and (ii) returns from short-term investments
pending application of the net proceeds of the Offering. Although the Company
will receive most of its rental payments on a monthly basis, it intends to make
distributions quarterly. Amounts accumulated for distribution will be invested
by the Company in short-term money market instruments.

         All facilities owned by the Company will be leased 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 major expenses in connection with the
Facilities during the terms of the respective Leases. The Company
anticipates entering into similar leases with respect to all additional
properties. After the terms of the respective leases expire, or in the event a
lessee is unable to meet its obligations, the Company anticipates that any
expenditures it might become responsible for in maintaining its facilities will
be funded by cash from operations and, in the case of major expenditures,
possibly by borrowings. To the extent that unanticipated expenditures or
significant borrowings are required, the Company's liquidity may be adversely
affected.

         The Company may raise additional long-term capital by issuing, in
public or private transactions, equity or debt securities, but the availability
and terms of such issuance will depend upon the market and other conditions. The
Company anticipates that as a result of its initially low debt to total
capitalization and its intention to maintain a debt to total capitalization 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 the Facilities, the acquisition of additional
properties, including the Option Facilities or, as necessary, to meet certain
distribution requirements imposed on REITs under the Internal Revenue Code.

         Acquisitions will be made subject to the investment objectives and
policies to maximize both current income and long-term growth in income. The
Company's liquidity requirements with respect to future acquisitions may be
reduced to the extent the Company uses Common Shares as consideration for such
purchases.

INFLATION

         Management believes that inflation should not have a material adverse
effect on the operating expenses of the Company because such expenses are
relatively insignificant as a percentage of revenues. Because the Bank Credit
Facility provides for a variable interest rate, inflation could have a material
adverse effect on the Company's interest expense if interest rates increase
substantially during any year. Accordingly, when appropriate, based on the then
current interest rates, management may seek to replace the Bank Credit Facility
with a credit facility that provides for a fixed interest rate.

IMPORTANT FACTORS RELATED TO FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND ASSOCIATED RISKS

         The preceding section, "Management's Discussions and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations," and other sections of this
Quarterly Report contain various "forward-looking statements" within the meaning
of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which represents the Company's
expectations or beliefs concerning future events, including, without limitation,
statements containing the words, "believes," "anticipates," "expects" and words
of similar import; and also including, without limitation, the following:
statements regarding the Company's continuing ability to target and acquire high
quality correctional and detention facilities; the expected availability other
debt and equity financing to support the Company's future operating and capital
requirements; financial performance; the planned acquisition and/or financing of
correctional and detention facilities; the expected dividend distribution rate;
the intended limit on the Company's level of consolidated indebtedness; the
expected tax treatment of the Company's operations; and the Company's beliefs
about continued growth in the corrections and detention industry. Such
forward-looking statements relate to future events and the future financial
performance of the Company and the industry and involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other important factors which could cause actual results,
performance or achievements of the Company or industry to differ materially from
the future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such
forward-looking statements.


<PAGE>   11
         Readers should carefully consider the various factors identified in
the preceding section, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operation," and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report that
could cause actual results to differ materially from the results predicted in
the forward-looking statements. Further, the Company specifically cautions
readers to consider the following important factors in conjunction with the
forward-looking statements: the possible decline in the Company's ability to
locate and acquire quality correctional and detention facilities and to
negotiate acceptable lease terms; the possibility that Company management lacks
the skill to manage the Company's planned process of acquisitions and
expansions; the potential conflicts of interest which may arise between the
Company and CCA; the Company's lack of an operating history; the Company's lack
of control over day-to-day operations and management over its facilities;
the possible adverse effect of changing economic conditions, including interest
rate movements and changes in the corrections and detention industry market
both locally and nationally; the effect of severe weather or natural disasters;
and the effect of competitive pressures. Because of the foregoing factors,
among others, the actual results achieved by the Company in the future may
differ materially from the expected results described in the forward-looking
statements.
