AMERICA SERVICE GROUP INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2002

(shown in 000’s except share and per share amounts)

1. Basis of Presentation

     The interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2002 and for the quarter and nine month period then ended are unaudited, but in the opinion of management, have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States applied on a basis consistent with those of the annual audited consolidated financial statements. Such interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations for the quarter and nine month period presented. The results of operations for the quarter and nine month period presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2002. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in connection with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2001.

2. Description of Business

     America Service Group Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (the “Company”) provide managed healthcare services to correctional facilities under capitated contracts (with certain adjustments) with state and local governments, certain private entities and medical facilities operated by the Department of the Navy and Veterans Administration. The health status of inmates may impact results of operations under such contractual arrangements.

3. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

     In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS 133”), as amended in June 2000 by SFAS No. 138, Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities (“SFAS 138”), which requires the Company to recognize all derivatives as assets or liabilities measured at fair value. Changes in fair value are recognized through either earnings or other comprehensive income dependent on the effectiveness of the hedge instrument. At September 30, 2002, the Company maintained an interest collar agreement with a bank for a notional amount of $6,000 and an expiration date of March 2003. On October 31, 2002, the Company terminated this interest collar agreement at a cost of $165.

     On January 1, 2001, the Company adopted SFAS 133 and SFAS 138 resulting in a charge to other comprehensive income of approximately $212, net of tax, as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle representing the fair value of the collar agreements on the date of adoption.

     In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations (“SFAS 141”), and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“SFAS 142”). SFAS 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS 141 also specifies criteria which intangible assets acquired in purchase method business combinations after June 30, 2001 must meet to be recognized and reported apart from goodwill. SFAS 142 addresses the initial recognition and measurement of intangible assets acquired outside of a business combination and the accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets subsequent to their acquisition. SFAS 142 requires that intangible assets with finite useful lives be amortized, and that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives no longer be amortized, but instead be tested for impairment at least annually.

     The Company adopted SFAS 141 on July 1, 2001. Such adoption had no effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. The Company adopted SFAS 142 effective January 1, 2002, at which time the amortization of the Company’s existing goodwill ceased. Other than the effect on net income of not amortizing goodwill, the adoption of SFAS 142 had no effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position. Amortization expense related to goodwill during the quarter and nine month period ended September 30, 2001 was $627 and $2,225, respectively.

     The following table reflects unaudited pro forma results of operations of the Company for the quarter and nine month period ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, giving effect to SFAS 142 as if it were adopted on January 1, 2001:

     In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (“SFAS 144”) effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. SFAS 144 establishes a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, whether previously held and used or newly acquired, and broadens the presentation of discontinued operations to include more disposal transactions. The Company adopted SFAS 144 effective January 1, 2002. Such adoption had no impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

     In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, “Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections” (“SFAS 145”). SFAS 145 rescinds Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 4, “Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt,” which required all gains and losses from extinguishment of debt to be aggregated and, if material, classified as an extraordinary item, net of the related income tax effect. As a result, the criteria in APB 30 will now be used to classify those gains and losses. SFAS 145 amends SFAS 13, “Accounting for Leases,” to require that certain lease modifications that have economic effects similar to sale-leaseback transactions be accounted for in the same manner as sale-leas
