ITEM 1.  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.

The Company -

     Avalon  Correctional  Services,  Inc.,  is an owner and operator of private
community correctional  facilities.  Avalon Correctional Services,  Inc. and its
wholly owned  subsidiaries  ("Avalon" or the "Company")  specialize in operating
private   community   correctional   facilities   and   providing   correctional
programming.  Avalon  currently  operates  facilities  and  manages  programs 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 role as a provider of community correctional services.  Avalon's
development plan is to expand operations through new state and federal contracts
and  selective  acquisitions.   Avalon  has  been  providing  private  community
correctional  services since 1985.  Avalon  contracts with various  governmental
agencies to provide community corrections operations and services.

     Avalon management  believes its background and ability to build and operate
community   correctional   facilities  and  provide  correctional   programming,
positions the Company for substantial  growth in the corrections  industry.  The
number of adult  correctional  beds  operated by private  managers in the United
States has grown sevenfold since 1992, from 20,000 to 140,000 beds, according to
the Private Adult  Correctional  Facility  Census,  dated  September 4, 2001, by
Charles  W.  Thomas,  and  even  with  a  slowing  in  the  growth  rate  of the
correctional populations, opportunities for more growth exist. Prison population
growth is largely tied to three factors:  the number of 18 to 29 year old males,
the status of the general  economy,  and the level of violent crime.  Currently,
the number of young males is  increasing,  the economy has slowed  (particularly
since  September 11, 2001),  and the violent crime level is expected to increase
with the downturn in the economy.

     Avalon's particular areas of growth will come in four areas. One, the trend
in corrections is toward utilizing community-based sentencing rather than secure
facilities. Community-based sentencing relies to a significant degree on halfway
house  facilities,  which are  Avalon's  primary  focus.  Two,  acquisitions  of
existing  community   corrections   companies  continue  to  be  attractive  and
available.  Three,  Federal  requests  for  proposals  should  continue to offer
opportunities for expansion due to the ongoing shortage of beds that the Federal
Bureau of Prisons is experiencing.  And four, the increasing number of offenders
incarcerated,  the  decline  in  states'  revenues  and the  decrease  in  funds
available  to pay to house these  offenders  are creating  economic  pressure to
utilize the least  restrictive  and most cost  effective  form of  incarceration
available.  Community  corrections  programs are the least  restrictive and most
cost effective form of incarceration available. Inmates serving the last 6 to 12
months of their  incarceration  in a community  correctional  facility  report a
lower recidivism rate than those released  directly from secure  facilities into
society. The United States incarcerated two million one hundred thousand persons
at  year-end  2001,  according  to the Bureau of Justice  Statistics.  The total
prison and jail population grew 2.5% in 2001.

     Avalon  currently  owns and operates  2,300 private  community  corrections
beds. The Company owns and operates three community correctional  facilities and
one  intermediate  sanction  unit in Oklahoma;  a 160-bed  juvenile  residential
treatment   center   in   Oklahoma;   two   medium-security    facilities,   one
post-adjudication  juvenile  substance abuse treatment center, and one community
correctional  facility in Texas; and four community  correctional  facilities in
Colorado.  Avalon is the  largest  private  provider of  community  correctional
services in  Oklahoma.  The Avalon  facilities  provide  numerous  programs  for
offenders  generally  serving  the last six  months  of their  sentence.  Avalon
provides  contract  agencies  a  complete  range  of  services  relating  to the
security,  detention and care of offenders,  and a broad range of rehabilitative
programs to reduce  recidivism.  Intensive  programming  is an essential part of
community-based  corrections.  Avalon has provided  substance abuse programs for
over 17 years. The provided  programming  includes substance abuse treatment and
counseling,  vocational  training,  work  release  programs,  basic  educational
programs, job and life skill training, and reintegration  services. The Colorado
community  corrections  programs  also  provide   non-residential   services  to
approximately  210  offenders in the State of Colorado.  The Union City juvenile
residential   treatment  facility  is  the  first  privately  operated  juvenile
residential  treatment  facility in the State of Oklahoma.  Avalon's private pay
program,  operated from the Company's community correctional  facilities,  has a
growing  population  of  clients  referred  by  local  judicial  systems  as  an
alternative to secure incarceration.

     Oklahoma.  Avalon's  contracts with the Oklahoma  Department of Corrections
extend  through June 30, 2003 and are generally  renewed every three years.  The
structure  of the  Oklahoma  contracts  is based  upon three  one-year  contract
periods.  Avalon has contracted  with the State of Oklahoma  pursuant to similar
contracts since 1985. The State of Oklahoma's performance under the contracts is
subject  to  annual  appropriation  by the  legislature.  Avalon  also  provides
services  pursuant to a Federal contract obtained in 1997. The five-year Federal
contract was renewed in 1999 and extends through 2004.

     Carver  Center is a  300-bed  community  corrections  facility  located  in
Oklahoma  City,  Oklahoma.  Carver  Center has been  expanded  from its  initial
capacity of 50 beds in 1985, to its current  capacity of 300 beds to accommodate
the increasing  needs of the Oklahoma  Department of Corrections.  Carver center
was sited, designed, and constructed by Avalon.

     Avalon  Correctional  Center is a 320-bed  community  corrections  facility
located in Tulsa,  Oklahoma.  The  facility has been  expanded  from its initial
capacity of 255 beds to its  current  capacity  of 320 beds to  accommodate  the
increasing  needs  of  the  Oklahoma  Department  of  Corrections.   The  Avalon
Correctional Center was sited, designed, and constructed by Avalon and opened in
July 1995.

     Turley  Correctional  Center is a 150-bed  community  corrections  facility
located in Tulsa,  Oklahoma.  Avalon acquired the Turley  Correctional Center in
October 1997. A new 150-bed correctional facility was constructed on the 35-acre
grounds  at  the  Turley  Correctional  Center  in May of  2000.  The  buildings
previously utilized for administration and offender housing were demolished.

     Union  City  Juvenile  Center  is  a  160-bed  medium   security   juvenile
correctional  facility located in Union City, Oklahoma.  The Union City Juvenile
Center was sited, designed, and constructed by the Company.  Construction of the
Union  City  Juvenile  Center  was  completed  and the  Center  began  receiving
offenders in February 1999. The Center has a licensed  capacity of 160 beds. The
Oklahoma  Office of Juvenile  Affairs  (OJA),  in a  cost-cutting  move, did not
exercise the option for the final year of a five-year contract providing for the
care of 80 juveniles at the facility.  The contract  expired on December 2, 2002
and as of February 14, 2003, the facility  remains vacant while other sources of
offenders are being pursued.

     Carver Center,  Avalon  Correctional  Center and Turley Correctional Center
are  accredited  by the  American  Correctional  Association  ("ACA")  as  Adult
Community Correctional Facilities. ACA accreditation or candidacy is required to
contract  with the State of  Oklahoma  for  correctional  services.  The ACA,  a
private not-for-profit  organization,  was established to develop uniformity and
industry standards for the operation of correctional facilities and provision of
inmate care. Accreditation involves an extensive audit and compliance procedure,
and is  generally  granted  for a  three-year  period.  Carver  Center  has been
accredited  since 1990 and the  current  accreditation  expires in 2005.  Avalon
Correctional  Center was initially  accredited in 1996 and is accredited through
2005. Turley Correctional Center was initially accredited in October 2000 and is
accredited until October 2003.

     Union City  Juvenile  Center was  initially  accredited  in April 2000 as a
Juvenile Training School and is accredited until April 2003.

     Riverside  Intermediate  Sanction  Unit was opened in  December  2001.  The
facility is leased from the Tulsa County Criminal Justice Authority for a period
of up to twenty  years.  The  facility is utilized  to provide  substance  abuse
programming and community corrections programs for various jurisdictions.

     Texas.  Avalon acquired the El Paso  Intermediate  Sanction  Facility in El
Paso, Texas in August 1996. The facility has a capacity of 150-beds. The Company
entered into a fifteen-year contract to provide services in the facility for the
West Texas Community Supervision and Corrections Department in July 1996.


                                       5
<PAGE>
     The Company  was awarded a contract in June 1998 with the Texas  Department
of Criminal Justice to provide 250  multi-purpose  beds in El Paso, Texas. A new
324-bed  facility was  constructed  adjacent to the existing El Paso Facility in
1999 to accommodate this new contract.  The El Paso  Multi-Purpose  Facility was
completed and became operational in the second quarter of 1999. The contract has
been extended for the years 2001 through 2003.

     Avalon  acquired  the Austin  Transitional  Center in  December  2001.  The
community  corrections  facility has a capacity of 180  offenders  and contracts
with the Texas  Department of Criminal  Justice for halfway house services.  The
facility  consists of thirteen modular  buildings owned by Avalon and located on
leased land. The land is leased for a period of five years with a renewal option
of five years.

     In  September  2002,  Avalon  contracted  with Tom Green County in Texas to
operate its post-adjudication juvenile substance abuse facility. The Roy K. Robb
facility  consists  of one  secure  building  that can  house up to 48  youthful
offenders.  The  contract  with Tom Green  County has a  five-year  term with an
option for extension of a additional  five-year  term.  The Roy K. Robb facility
contracts with the surrounding counties to rehabilitate their juvenile substance
abusers.

     Colorado. The Company acquired a management contract in May 1999 to operate
the Adams Community  Corrections  Program in Northglenn,  Colorado.  The Program
provides  residential  and  non-residential  services  in three  locations:  The
Phoenix Center, a 139-bed  residential center in Henderson,  Colorado;  The Loft
House,  a 35-bed  residential  program in  Denver,  Colorado  and the  Community
Sentencing Center, a day reporting center in Northglenn,  Colorado.  The Company
completed a 24-bed expansion to the Phoenix Center in the first quarter of 2002.
The Program provides services pursuant to contracts with various state, federal,
and local agencies.

     The Company  acquired The Villa at Greeley in June 1999. The Villa owns and
operates  a  307-bed   multi-purpose   facility  and  provides  residential  and
non-residential  offender  services and an assisted  living  program in Greeley,
Colorado. The Villa contracts with various state, federal, and local agencies.

Assisted Living Center -

     Avalon holds a 15% equity  interest in an assisted living center and has an
investment  of $0 at December 31, 2002.  The Company  guaranteed  facility  debt
related to the building of the investment.

Competition -

     Corrections.  The  trend  in the  United  States  toward  privatization  of
government  services and  functions  continues to increase as  governments  have
faced continuing  pressure to control costs and improve the quality of services.
Governmental  agencies responsible for the operation of correctional  facilities
are privatizing and contracting  with private  providers for services to address
these pressures.

     A  combination  of factors in many  states  has led to a  revamping  of the
corrections processes (i.e., decreasing revenues,  increasing prison population,
litigation  arising  from  substandard   prison   conditions,   and  substantial
overcrowding) in addition to reallocation of limited prison  resources.  Private
correctional  services  provide a  substantial  economic  savings  allowing  the
contracting governmental agency to comply with legislative and judicial pressure
to improve incarceration conditions.  Privately operated correctional management
companies  are able to provide  high  quality  services at lower  cost.  Private
correctional  facilities  operating  as  contractors  for  government  agencies,
pursuant to court order or otherwise exist in virtually every state.

     Avalon's  primary  focus is the area of  community  corrections.  Community
corrections  programs have experienced  substantial growth over the past decade.
Community  corrections  programs  provide  services to individuals  still in the
correctional  system and  individuals  granted parole or sentenced to probation.
Offenders are often placed in a community  corrections facility for the last six
to twelve months of their  sentence.  Community  corrections  facilities  enable
offenders to remain  employed and often upgrade their job skills.  The offenders
also  contribute to society by paying taxes,  paying court costs,  paying victim
restitution,  and  paying  for a  portion  of the cost of  their  incarceration.
Community corrections  facilities have the lowest re-imprisonment rate among the
various  types  of  incarceration.  Community  corrections  facilities  generate
revenue for local communities,  are more cost effective than building additional
jail  cells,  and help reduce the  prison-overcrowding  problem.  The  community
corrections  market  segment is  estimated  at $4 billion  annually and includes
approximately 5,000 providers.

                       AVALON CORRECTIONAL SERVICES, INC

     Contracts for correctional  services are awarded by government agencies and
are generally based upon competitive  bidding and quality of services  provided.
Avalon  management  believes the Company has several  competitive  advantages in
contracting for community  correctional services including:  a) a seventeen-year
history of providing quality services to the Oklahoma Department of Corrections;
b) a geographic location allowing for lower administrative overhead charges when

forward-looking  statements  within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities
Act of 1933 and  Section  21E of the  Securities  Exchange  Act of  1934.  These
include statements regarding the expectations, beliefs, intentions or strategies
for the future.  The Company  intends  that all  forward-looking  statements  be
subject to the  safe-harbor  provisions  of the  Private  Securities  Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements reflect the Company's views
as of the date  they are made  with  respect  to  future  events  and  financial
performance,  but are subject to many  uncertainties and risks which could cause
the actual results of the Company to differ  materially  from any future results
expressed  or  implied  by such  forward-looking  statements.  Examples  of such
uncertainties  and  risks  include,  but are not  limited  to:  fluctuations  in
occupancy  levels and labor costs;  the ability to secure both new contracts and
the renewal of existing  contracts;  the  availability  and cost of financing to
redeem common shares and to expand the Company's business; and public resistance
to  privatization.  Additional  risk factors  include those discussed in reports
filed by the  Company  from time to time on Forms  10-KSB,  10-QSB and 8-K.  The
Company  does  not  undertake  any  obligation  to  update  any  forward-looking
statements.


Liquidity and Capital Resources -

     The  Company's  business  strategy  is to  focus on the  private  community
corrections industry, expanding its operations in existing and additional states
through  new  Federal  and  state  contracts  and  selective  acquisitions.  The
successful  implementation of the Company's growth plan will create the need for
additional capital and financing.

     Working capital at December 31, 2002 was $1,130,000  representing a current
ratio of 1.23:1.00,  compared to working capital of $685,000 and a current ratio
of 1.15:1.00 at December 31, 2001.  Capital  expenditures  were $1.21 million in
2002, compared to $2.18 million in 2001. The 2002 capital  expenditures  include
renovations  to Carver  Center,  expansion  of the  Phoenix  Center to  increase
capacity  to 215 beds,  and  other  normal,  operating  purchases  of  vehicles,
equipment,  and building  improvements.  The 2001 capital  expenditures  include
expansion  and new  furniture to increase the capacity of Carver Center from 250
beds to 300 beds, expansion and new furniture to increase the capacity of Avalon
Correctional  Center  from 255 beds to 320 beds in the  third  quarter  of 2001,
renovation  of the  Riverside  Intermediate  Sanction  Unit  in  November  2001,
expansion of office space at the Central Office in June 2001, the acquisition of
the Austin Transitional Center in December 2001, expansion of the Phoenix Center
in December 2001, and other normal, operating purchases of vehicles,  equipment,
and building  improvements.  Operations provided $2,760,000 in cash flow in 2002
as compared to  $5,135,000  in 2001.  The cash flow  decrease  was a result of a
slowdown in receivable  collections at the end of 2000 subsequently collected in
2001,  and a decrease  in accrued  payables  in 2002  compared to an increase in
accrued payables at the end of 2001.

     The Company had  approximately  $4.5 million of cash and  revolving  credit
available  for new projects at December 31,  2002.  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 balances. The Company invested excess cash by purchasing
$1.8 million of  certificates  of deposit with interest rates ranging from 2.85%
to 3.06% during the last three months of 2002.

     The Company has a senior credit facility with Fleet Capital 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

Year Ended December 31, 2002 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2001 -

     Total revenues  increased by 9% to $27,456,000 in 2002 from  $25,147,000 in
2001. The net increase in revenues was primarily a result of increased  offender
census,  the opening of the  Riverside  Intermediate  Sanction  Unit in December
2001, the  acquisition of the Austin  Transitional  Center in December 2001, and
the addition of Roy K. Robb contract in September 2002. The Company's net income
before taxes increased 43% to $1,893,000 in 2002 compared to $1,325,000 in 2001.

                       AVALON CORRECTIONAL SERVICES, INC

     Operating income, before interest, depreciation, and income taxes increased
5% to $6,518,000 in 2002 from $6,199,000 in 2001. The average daily  residential
offender  census  increased  by 14% to 1,693  in 2002  from  1,486 in 2001.  The
average daily non-residential offender census was 224 in 2002 compared to 243 in
2001. The residential  census increase was a result of increased offender census
in the Company's existing facilities,  the opening of the Riverside Intermediate
Sanction Unit in December 2001 and the  acquisition  of the Austin  Transitional
Center in December  2001.  The Union City contract  with the Oklahoma  Office of
Juvenile   Affairs  expired  on  December  2,  2002.  The  Union  City  facility
contributed  revenues of $3.575  million in 2002 and $3.819 million in 2001. The
Union City facility contributed earnings before interest,  taxes,  depreciation,
amortization and corporate overhead of $1.195 million 2002 and $1.047 million in
2001.

     Direct  operating  expenses  increased by 10% in 2002 compared to 2001. The
increase was a result of additional  costs  associated  with increased  offender
census in the  Company's  existing  facilities,  the  opening  of the  Riverside
Intermediate  Sanction  Unit in December  2001,  and the  addition of the Austin
Transitional  Center in December  2001.  The Company  incurred start up costs of
approximately  $357,000 associated with the Riverside Intermediate Sanction Unit
and Roy K. Robb facility during 2002.

     General and administrative  expenses increased by 11% in 2002. The increase
was a result  of  additional  costs  associated  with the  increase  in  overall
offender  census  and  additional  staffing  for the new  facilities  opened and
acquired in 2001. General and administrative  expenses equaled  approximately 7%
of  revenues  in 2002  and  2001.  Depreciation  and  amortization  expense  was
$2,031,000  for 2002,  an  increase  of 8% over the  $1,881,000  for  2001.  The
increase was a result of the additional expenses associated with the addition of
the Riverside and Austin facilities and increased write-offs of existing assets.
The increase in depreciation and  amortizations  expense was partially offset by
the change in accounting method relating to the write-off of indefinite contract
costs. The amortization of indefinite contract costs was $0 in 2002 and $219,000
in 2001.  Interest  expense  decreased  by $399,000 in 2002 as a result of lower
interest rates and lower borrowing levels.

     The Company fully  utilized its remaining tax loss  carry-forwards  in 2002
and recorded  income tax expense of  $632,000.  The Company did not incur income
tax expense in 2001. Net income for 2002 was $1,261,000,  compared to $1,325,000
for 2001.

              REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors of
Avalon Correctional Services, Inc.

We  have  audited  the  accompanying   consolidated  balance  sheets  of  Avalon
Correctional Services,  Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31,
2002  and  2001,  and  the  related   consolidated   statements  of  operations,
stockholders'   equity,   and  cash  flows  for  the  years  then  ended.  These
consolidated  financial  statements  are  the  responsibility  of the  Company's
management.  Our  responsibility is to express an opinion on these  consolidated
financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the  United  States of  America.  Those  standards  require  that we plan and
perform the audits to obtain  reasonable  assurance  about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a
test basis,  evidence  supporting  the amounts and  disclosures in the financial
statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant  estimates  made by  management,  as well as evaluating  the overall
financial  statement  presentation.   We  believe  that  our  audits  provide  a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated  financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material  respects,  the financial  position of the Company as of
December 31, 2002 and 2001,  and the results of their  operations and their cash
flows  for the  years  then  ended  in  conformity  with  accounting  principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.

As  discussed  in Note 3,  during  2002,  the  Company  changed  its  method  of
accounting for certain  intangible  assets to conform with Financial  Accounting
Standards Board Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 142,  Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets.

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                         FOR THE YEARS 2002 AND 2001

NOTE 1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Business-

     Avalon Correctional Services,  Inc. ("Avalon" or the "Company") is an owner
and operator of private community correctional  services.  Avalon specializes in
privatized  community  correctional  facilities  and  correctional  programming.
Avalon is  currently  operating in  Oklahoma,  Texas and Colorado  with plans to
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 300-bed community  corrections facility in Oklahoma
City, Oklahoma, a 320-bed community  corrections facility in Tulsa,  Oklahoma, a
150-bed  community  corrections  facility in Tulsa,  Oklahoma;  a 150-bed medium
security  facility in El Paso,  Texas; a 324-bed medium security  facility in El
Paso,  Texas,  a 180-bed  community  corrections  facility on leased land in Del
Valle,  Texas;  a 160-bed  medium  security  juvenile  facility  in Union  City,
Oklahoma; a 139-bed community corrections facility in Henderson, Colorado; and a
307-bed multi-use community  corrections facility in Greeley,  Colorado.  Avalon
also  operates  four  programs  in leased  facilities:  a  352-bed  intermediate
sanction unit in Tulsa,  Oklahoma;  a 35-bed community  corrections  facility in
Denver,  Colorado; a 48-bed youth rehabilitation  facility in San Angelo, Texas;
and a day  reporting  center in  Northglenn,  Colorado.  The Colorado  community
corrections programs also provide non-residential  services to approximately 210
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 estimates.

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.

Accounts Receivable -

     Accounts  receivable  consists  of amounts  due from  various  governmental
agencies under contractual  agreement for correctional services in the Company's
facilities.  Receivables  are recorded at the estimate of amounts due based upon
the terms of the related agreements.

     Management  periodically  assesses the Company's  accounts  receivable  and
establishes an allowance for estimated uncollectible amounts based on historical
write-offs.  Accounts  determined to be uncollectible  are charged to operations
when that determination is made.

Concentrations of Credit Risk -

     Financial instruments  potentially subjecting the Company to concentrations
of credit risk consist  principally of temporary cash investments,  certificates
of deposits,  accounts  receivable and notes receivable.  The Company places its
temporary cash  investments and certificates of deposit 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 is from government  agencies.  The Company
maintains an allowance for doubtful  accounts for potential  credit losses.  The
allowance  for  doubtful  accounts at  December  31, 2002 and 2001 is $5,000 and
$27,000, respectively.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                          FOR THE YEARS 2002 AND 2001

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 are 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           10 to 40 Years
                   Furniture and Equipment               5 to 10 Years
                   Transportation Equipment              2 to 15 Years

     The Company  follows the  provisions  of Statement of Financial  Accounting
Standards  (SFAS)  No.  144,  Accounting  for  the  Impairment  or  Disposal  of
Long-lived  Assets  in  determining   impairment  losses  on  long-term  assets.
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.

     SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,  requires that goodwill
and  intangible  assets with  indefinite  useful  lives be tested  annually  for
impairment. SFAS No. 142 also requires that intangible assets with finite useful
lives be amortized and be evaluated for  impairment in accordance  with SFAS No.
144. In addition,  the Statement eliminates the requirement to amortize goodwill
or intangible assets with indefinite useful lives (Note 3).

Equity Method Investments -

     Investments in unconsolidated  subsidiaries,  jointly owned companies,  and
other  investees  in which the  Company has a 20% to 50%  interest or  otherwise
exercises  significant influence are carried at cost, adjusted for the Company's
proportionate share of their undistributed earnings or losses.

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 by
management  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 offenders on a per diem basis at the
Company's  correctional  facilities.  All  correctional  revenues  are  received
monthly from various governmental agencies.

Development Costs -

     The  Company  expenses  development  and  new  facility  opening  costs  as
incurred.

Net Income Per Common Share -

     Basic  net  income  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 using the treasury stock method.

Reclassifications -

     Certain  reclassifications  have been made to the 2001 financial statements
to conform with 2002 presentation.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements -

     In June 2001,  Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement
of  Financial   Accounting  Standards  (SFAS)  No.  143,  Accounting  for  Asset
Retirement Obligations.  SFAS No. 143 requires entities to record the fair value
of a liability for an asset  retirement  obligation in the period in which it is
incurred  and a  corresponding  increase in the  carrying  amount of the related
long-lived asset. Subsequently, the asset retirement cost should be allocated to
expense using a systematic  and rational  method.  SFAS No. 143 is effective for
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The Company does not expect SFAS No.
143 to  have  a  material  effect  on  its  financial  position  or  results  of
operations.

     In June 2002,  FASB issued SFAS No. 146,  Accounting  for Costs  Associated
with Exit or Disposal Activities.  This Statement addresses financial accounting
and  reporting  for  costs  associated  with  exit or  disposal  activities  and
nullifies   Emerging   Issues  Task  Force  (EITF)  Issues  No.  94-3  Liability
Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an
Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring). The Statement is
effective for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002 with
early application  encouraged.  The Company estimates that the new standard will
not have a  material  effect  on its  financial  statements  but is still in the
evaluation process.

     In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148,  Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation-Transition  and Disclosure-an amendment of SFAS No. 123 (SFAS 148).
This  statement  amends  Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 123,
Accounting  for  Stock-Based  Compensation,  to provide  alternative  methods of
transition  for a voluntary  change to the fair value method of  accounting  for
stock-based employee compensation and amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS
123 to  require  prominent  disclosure  in both  annual  and  interim  financial
statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee  compensation
and the effect of the method used on reported results. The transition and annual
disclosure provisions of SFAS 148 will be effective for the Company in the first
quarter of 2003.  The Company  estimates  that the new standard  will not have a
material  effect  on its  financial  statements  but is still in the  evaluation
process.

     In  November  2002,  the  FASB  issued  Interpretation  No.  45  (FIN  45),
Guarantor's  Accounting and Disclosure  Requirements  for Guarantees,  Including
Indirect  Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others.  For a guarantee subject to FASB
Interpretation  45, a guarantor  is required to measure and  recognize  the fair
value of the guarantee liability at inception.  For many guarantees,  fair value
will likely be determined  using the expected  present value method described in
FASB  Concepts  Statement 7, Using Cash Flow  Information  and Present  Value in
Accounting   Measurements.   In  addition,   FIN  45  provides  new   disclosure
requirements.  The disclosure  requirements  of FIN 45 will be effective for the
Company in the first quarter of 2003. The measurement and liability  recognition
provisions  are applied  prospectively  to guarantees  issued or modified  after
December  31,  2002.  The  Company  estimates  that FIN 45 will have no material
effect on its financial statements.

     In January 2003, the FASB issued  Interpretation  No. 46,  Consolidation of
Variable  Interest Entities (FIN 46). Subject to certain criteria defined in the
Interpretation,  FIN 46 will require  consolidation  by business  enterprises of
variable  interest  entities if the enterprise has a variable interest that will
absorb the majority of the entity's  expected residual losses on returns if they
occur,  or both.  The  Interpretation  will be effective  for the Company in the
third quarter of 2003.  Management has not yet determined the effect, if any, of
FIN 46 on the Company's  financial  position or results of  operations.  Certain
disclosures  concerning  variable  interest  entities  are required in financial
statements  initially  issued after January 31, 2003.  The Company is evaluating
the effect of FIN 46 on its financial statements.

 NOTE 3.  INTANGIBLE ASSETS

     During  2001,  certain  intangible  assets  relating to value of  contracts
previously   acquired  in  business   combinations   were  amortized  using  the
straight-line  method  over 15 years.  Effective  January 1, 2002,  the  Company
adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board's Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 142,  Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets on a prospective
basis.  SFAS No. 142, among other things,  ceases the amortization of intangible
assets with  indefinite  useful  lives and mandates an  impairment  review to be
performed at the adoption of the  Statement  and at least  annually  thereafter.
These contracts are judged to be indefinite  because they are routinely renewed,
they are renewed at minimal  cost,  and the Company fully intends to comply with
the applicable terms of the contracts and to continuously  renew the agreements.
The Company  evaluated  its  contracts  upon the adoption of SFAS No. 142 and on
December 31, 2002 and  determined  that there were no  indicators  of impairment
since the estimated  fair value of the applicable  reporting  units exceeded the
net book value.

      The  following  table  presents  the  effects  of  SFAS  No. 142 as if the
statement had been adopted for all prior periods presented:

     The aggregate  maturities of long-term debt for each of the next five years
are as follows: 2003: $3,515,000;  2004:  $10,055,000;  2005: $2,610,000;  2006:
$7,551,000; 2007: $25,000 and $304,000 thereafter.

     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 accreting the difference between the carrying value and the estimated
redemption  price of the  stock by  periodic  charges /  credits  to  additional
paid-in capital.

     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  amortized to
interest  expense  over the  life of the debt  instrument  using  the  effective
interest method.

     Certain notes payable to finance and investment companies contain covenants
that require the Company,  among other things,  to maintain certain earnings and
debt coverage ratios and receive  approval for certain  capital  expenditures as
defined in the agreements. The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants
at December 31, 2002.

NOTE 8.  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%, payable  semi-annually,  and mature on September 12, 2007. The Company may
redeem  the  convertible  debentures  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.

NOTE 9.  STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

     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 the  issuance.  This cost was recorded as debenture
issue  costs and was  classified  in other  assets  on the  balance  sheet.  The
debenture  issue cost was amortized to expense over the term of the  convertible
debentures. The Class E stock purchase warrants expired in September 2002.

     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 expired in September 2002.

     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 have a
five-year term from the date of issuance, March 9, 2001.

NOTE 10.  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 within five years and have a ten-year expiration
period. The Company amended its Plan on December 1, 1996,  increasing the number
of shares available under the Plan to 600,000.  Non-statutory  options have been
granted  providing for the issuance of 505,832 shares of Class A common stock at
exercise prices ranging from $1.50 to $4.25 per share. Options providing for the
issuance of 441,490 shares were exercisable at December 31, 2002.

     The Company uses the intrinsic value method to account for its stock option
plan in which compensation is recognized only when the fair value of each option
exceeds its exercise price at the date of grant.  Accordingly,  no  compensation
cost has been  recognized for the options  issued.  Had  compensation  cost been
determined  based on the fair  value of the  options  at the  grant  dates,  the
Company's  net income and net income per share would have been  decreased to the
pro forma amounts indicated below.

     The fair value of each grant is  estimated  on the date of grant  using the
Black-Scholes   option-pricing   model  with  the   following   weighted-average
assumptions used:
                                              2002       2001

               Risk free interest rate        3.1%       5.1%

               Expected life (years)            10         10

     The  Black-Scholes  options  valuation  model  was  developed  for  use  in
estimating  the fair value of traded  options with no vesting  restrictions  and
which are fully  transferable.  Option  valuation  models  require  the input of
highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. The
Company's employee stock options have  characteristics  significantly  different
from those of traded options,  and changes in the subjective  input  assumptions
can materially affect the fair value estimate.  It is management's  opinion that
the existing  models do not provide a reliable  measure of the fair value of its
employee stock options  because the model assumes the security being measured is
widely  traded and  liquid.  The  Company's  stock  does not have a  significant
trading volume and is illiquid.

     A summary of the status of the  Company's  stock option plan as of December
31,  2002 and  2001,  and  changes  during  the years  ending on those  dates is
presented below.

NOTE 11.  ACQUISITIONS AND CONTRACTS

     On September 1, 2002,  the Company began  managing the Roy K. Robb facility
in San Angelo,  Texas.  The  operation of the facility is governed by a contract
with Tom  Green  County in Texas.  Roy K. Robb is a  post-adjudication  juvenile
substance  abuse facility  contracting  with  surrounding  counties to house and
rehabilitate youth. The contract to operate the facility extends for five years,
contains an option to extend for another five years, and allows a 120-day notice
of  termination.  The  facility  is  a  single  building  in a  medium  security
environment.

     The Company  acquired the assets and operations of the Austin  Transitional
Center in Del Valle,  Texas in December  2001.  The Center was acquired  from an
entity owned by an officer of the Company. The Center was acquired by the entity
upon approval of a Texas  bankruptcy  court. The terms of the acquisition to the
Company  were  identical  to the  terms  of the  acquiring  entity.  The  Austin
Transitional Center is a community corrections center contracting with the Texas
Department  of Criminal  Justice.  The  facility  consists  of thirteen  modular
buildings  located on leased  land.  The land is leased from a third party for a
period of five years with a renewal option of five years. The acquisition  price
was  approximately  $71,000 and included the assumption of a contract,  with the
Texas Department of Criminal Justice, that extends to August 2003. The financial
results of the operation  were included in the  Company's  financial  statements
beginning in December 2001.

     The  Company  signed a  contract  with the Tulsa  County  Criminal  Justice
Authority in April 2001 to lease the  Riverside  Intermediate  Sanction  Unit in
Tulsa. The costs to renovate the building were paid jointly by the Authority and
the Company.  The  Company's  share of the  renovation  costs was  approximately
$1,000,000.  Approximately $900,000 of the costs was financed with the Company's
senior  lender.  The  cost  of the  renovations  is  being  amortized  over  the
twenty-year term of the lease. Renovation was completed in December 2001 and the
facility began receiving offenders in December 2001.

     The Oklahoma Office of Juvenile Affairs (OJA), in a cost-cutting  move, did
not exercise the option for the final year of a five-year contract providing for
the care of 80 juveniles at the Union City Juvenile Center. The contract expired
on December 2, 2002 and as of February 14, 2003,  the  facility  remains  vacant
while other sources of offenders are being  pursued.  This is the first time the
Company has not had a multi-year contract extension renewed. The contract is the
only one the  Company  had with OJA.  The Union City  facility  is a  marketable
facility and the Company is actively seeking a replacement population.

      The Company's  contracts  relating to capitalized  intangible assets are
not  associated  with the Union  City  facility.  Avalon  seeks to follow  the
industry  practice in valuation  of  intangible  assets and has no  indication
that  other  private  prison  companies  have  adopted   differing   policies.
Management is not aware of any additional contract non-renewals or losses.

     The fair values presented represent management's best estimates and may not
be substantiated by comparisons to independent markets and, in many cases, could
not be realized in immediate  settlement of the instruments.  Certain  financial
instruments and all non-financial  instruments are not required to be disclosed;
therefore,  the  aggregate  fair  value  amounts  presented  do not  purport  to
represent the underlying fair value of the Company.

     The following  methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value
of each class of financial  instruments  for which it is practicable to estimate
that value.

Cash and Cash  Equivalents - The carrying  amounts  reported in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents approximate fair value
due to the highly liquid nature of the instruments.

Certificates  of Deposit - The  carrying  amounts  reported in the  accompanying
consolidated  balance sheets for certificates of deposit  approximate fair value
due to the liquid nature of the instruments.

Notes  Receivable - The carrying  value of notes  receivable  approximates  fair
value because effective rates  approximate  current rates for loans to borrowers
with similar maturities and credit risk.

Variable Rate Debt - The carrying value of variable rate debt  approximates fair
value due to the variable rate nature of the instruments.

Fixed Rate Debt - Fair values of fixed rate debt were calculated  using interest
rates in effect as of each year end with the other terms of the debt unchanged.

Convertible  Debentures - Fair value of  convertible  debentures  was calculated
using  interest  rates  in  effect  as of each  year-end  with the  other  terms
unchanged.

Redeemable  Common Stock - Fair value of  redeemable  common stock is calculated
assuming  exercise of the purchase  option under the terms of the stock purchase
agreement at December 31, 2002 and 2001.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                           FOR THE YEARS 2002 AND 2001


     The  valuation  allowance  on tax  assets  decreased  $73,000  in 2002  and
$523,000 in 2001.  The  decrease  in  valuation  allowance  in 2002 and 2001 was
primarily due to the utilization of net operating loss carry forwards.

NOTE 15.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     In  November  2000,  the  Company  executed  an  agreement  to  manage  the
operations  of an  entity  owned  by an  affiliate.  Fees  received  under  this
agreement  totaled  $180,000 and $548,000 for the years ended  December 31, 2002
and 2001, respectively.

NOTE 16.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     Total  lease   expense  was  $220,000  and  $109,000  for  2002  and  2001,
respectively,  under all operating leases. The future minimum lease payments are
as follows: 2003 - $222,000,  2004 - $216,000, 2005 - $162,000, 2006 - $141,000,
2007 - $89,000, thereafter - $0.

     The Company  holds a 15% equity  interest in an assisted  living center and
has  guaranteed  debt related to the building of the  investee.  The Company has
recognized  losses of the  investee  and has reduced its  carrying  value in the
investment  to zero.  Debt payments are made by the investee  semi-annually  and
range in amounts from $45,000 to $90,000 by the time of the final payment on May
1, 2016.  The  outstanding  debt  balances  were  $1,705,000  and  $1,780,000 at
December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively,  were contingent and not recognized in
the  Company's  consolidated  financial  statements.  The Company would have the
right to sell the living center as a going  concern and use any proceeds,  after
payment of debts,  to  recover  amounts  owed to it by the living  center in the
event of default of the debt  payments.  The Company  expects  that the proceeds
from the sale of the living center would exceed the existing debt.

     The Company executed a three-year  employment  agreement with the Company's
CEO in  1997.  The  agreement  provides  for  compensation  at a base  rate  and
increases to be  determined  on an annual basis by the Board of  Directors.  The
agreement also contains provisions for severance pay and disability payments, as
well as a non-compete  agreement  preventing the CEO from engaging in a business
deemed  similar to that of the  Company.  The Board of Directors  extended  this
agreement for three  additional  years in December 2001. The Company  terminated
its deferred compensation plan for key executives in 2002.

NOTE 17.  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.
