Item
7.01
Regulation
FD Disclosure.
On December 12, 2008, Cornell Companies, Inc.
(the Company) settled a lawsuit the Company had filed in the United States
District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania against the Borough of
New Morgan (the Borough), New Morgan Borough Council and certain individual
council members. The lawsuit involved
the operation of the Companys Abraxas Academy in New Morgan, Pennsylvania and
a sewage treatment facility that is owned by the Borough.
In connection with the
settlement, all claims have been terminated and finally settled, including
those concerning the operation and occupancy of the facility and the sewage
treatment plant. Neither party has
admitted any claim or contention made by the other party. The Company received
$1,550,000 from the Borough and agreed to pay the Borough unpaid sewage
treatment bills in the amount of $200,000 through September 30, 2008.
This one-time net settlement
is expected to increase earnings for the fourth quarter 2008, and Company management consequently expects earnings per share for
the fourth quarter to range from $0.42 to $0.46 per share. For the full year, management
anticipates earnings of $1.43 to $1.47 per share.
The statements made
herein that are not historical facts are 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. Forward-looking statements include, but
are not limited to, statements involving the Companys future earnings, as well
as any other statements that are not historical facts. Such statements are
subject to numerous risks, uncertainties and assumptions including but not
limited to Cornells ability to perform according to its current expectations,
changes in supply and demand, actions by governmental agencies and other third
parties, access to capital and other factors detailed in the companys most
recent Form 10-K and other filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, which are available free of charge on the SECs website at
http://www.sec.gov
. Should one or more of these risks or
uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect,
actual results may vary materially from those indicated. Each forward
looking-statement speaks only as of the date of the particular statement, and
we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward looking-statement,
whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Information
in the press release is subject to adjustment resulting from further review and
the obtainment of additional information that may impact our consolidated
financial statements.
