NOTE 1. BASIS OF PREPARATION

The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by
the Registrant, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Footnote disclosures normally included
in the financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules
and regulations.

These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the financial statements and related notes contained in the Registrant's
annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994.

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the
second quarter 1995 presentation.

In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements
included herein contain all normal recurring adjustments necessary to
present fairly the financial position of the Registrant as of June 30, 1995
and December 31, 1994, and the results of operations and cash flows for the
six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994.


NOTE 2. PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

The book provision for income taxes includes the liability for state income
taxes, net of the federal income tax benefit. The deferred provision for income
taxes arises from the changes during the year in the company's net deferred tax
asset or liability.

NOTE 3. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted
average number of shares outstanding during the respective periods.

NOTE 4. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

On May 26, 1993, the Attorney General of Missouri and several Missouri
residents who received termite treatment from Orkin, on behalf of
themselves and an alleged class, filed an action in the City of St. Louis
Circuit Court. The Attorney General has alleged violations of the Missouri
Merchandising Practices Act. The private plaintiffs have alleged fraud and
breach of certain termite extermination contracts. The Plaintiffs' claims
are based on allegations that the Company failed to apply termiticides in
accordance with termiticide labels and its advertising. Plaintiffs are
collectively seeking restitution for claimed losses, civil penalties,
compensatory and punitive damages, and litigation expenses, including
attorneys' fees. On June 1, 1994, the Court ruled Plaintiffs' would be
permitted to pursue a class action lawsuit against Orkin. The class was
limited to those Missouri customers who purchased termite extermination
services between January 1, 1987 and May 15, 1993, inclusively, and who
have basement or crawl space foundation walls, in which an organophosphate
termiticide was used.

The Company is vigorously defending this lawsuit. Except for the class
certification, the judicial system has not ruled on any substantive issues
in this case. Due to the preliminary nature of this action, the final
outcome of the litigation cannot be determined at this time. However, it
is the opinion of management that the ultimate resolution of this action
will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial
position, results of operations, or liquidity and will take an extended
time to resolve.

ROLLINS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
PART I. ITEM 2. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FOR THE SECOND QUARTER AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995

GENERAL OPERATING COMMENTS

We were disappointed with the second quarter operating results, nonetheless, we
continue to see positive signs from investments made to achieve the Company's
long-term growth. Our benchmarking surveys of the pest control industry imply
that this year's cold and wet spring weather had an unfavorable impact on the
seasonal termite demand. Revenues for the second quarter ended June 30, 1995
increased 2.0% or $3.5 million, to $175.4 million from the prior year period
($9.7 million or 3.1% year-to-date). Operating income decreased $1.1 million or
2.9% to $35.2 million for the quarter, yet increased slightly year-to-date (0.2%
to $50.1 million). Net income for the quarter was relatively flat (0.2%
increase) to $21.1 million and earnings per share was unchanged at 59 cents.
However, year-to-date net income increased 3.4% to $28.9 million and earnings
per share was 81 cents, a 3.8% increase from a year ago.

For the quarter, the Orkin Group's operating income increased 1.5% to $33.9
million on revenues of $157.3 million which grew 2.7% over 1994. These results
resulted in a slight deterioration in operating margins of 21.6%, compared to
21.8% in the prior year. Rollins Protective Services' operating income decreased
5.5% to $1.4 million on revenues of $14.7 million.

For the six months ended June 30, 1995, the Orkin Group revenues increased 4.1%
with operating income improving 4.7%. Operating margins grew slightly to 16.6%
compared to 16.5% for the same period last year. Rollins Protective Services
revenue declined 4.3%, along with operating income 2.5% lower, while operating
margins improved from 9.4% to 9.6%. Detail segment information follows.

ORKIN 1995 VERSUS 1994

Revenues increased 2.7% to $157.3 million and operating income increased 1.5% to
$33.9 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 1995. For the six months
ended June 30, 1995, Orkin had revenues of $282.5 million and operating income
of $47.0 million (increases of 4.1% and 4.7%, respectively, from the prior
year). Pest Control services increased their sales dollars and customer base
for the quarter and year-to-date. Although termite demand was lower than
expectations, Orkin is encouraged by the positive results in recurring pest
control sales. Residential leads and sales were up solidly over last year.
Prospective Orkin marketing and customer service programs will focus more on
building this segment by shifting emphasis away from the less predictable
termite business. The comparisons in operating results were also affected by
the December 1994 sale of the 11 Northern Lawn Care locations.


7 of 11




ROLLINS PROTECTIVE SERVICES 1995 VERSUS 1994

For the second quarter, Rollins Protective Services (RPS) had revenues of $14.7
million, a decrease of 4.2%, and operating income decreased 5.5% to $1.4
million. For the first six months, RPS had revenues of $28.9 million and
operating income of $2.8 million, representing decreases of 4.3% and 2.5%,
respectively, compared to the prior year. In the first quarter of 1995, RPS
sales focus shifted to new product introductions, including the VIP 2000
marketed for the middle income homeowner and "Safe Start", a new homebuilder
product. RPS experienced difficulty integrating these product offerings into
the marketplace, resulting in slower than expected market acceptance. RPS will
continue to focus marketing efforts on these new products as well as continuing
successful programs tested in 1994 targeted at customer retention and National
Accounts. Also, RPS completed two acquisitions during the second quarter and
one additional shortly after quarter-end. These acquisitions provide Rollins
Protective Services the ability to expand its services in the three existing
markets, while providing their customers continued access to quality service.

OTHER 1995 VERSUS 1994

Other businesses revenue and operating income decreased 1.8% and 107.8%,
respectively for the quarter and 1.3% and 83.4%, respectively year-to-date, due
to revisions of the Company's credit and internal operating policies within the
credit service center during the fourth quarter of 1994. The volume of Company
financed sales is lower than last year, as the revised policies redirected
marketing efforts toward stronger customer demographics inconjunction with the
lower than anticipated termite demand. Also, Corporate management is continuing
to monitor the implementation and effectiveness of these policy changes.

8 of 11





At June 30, 1995 the current ratio was 3.1 and working capital was $162.7
million (an increase of $14.7 million or 9.9% compared to December 31, 1994).
The Company has been debt-free since 1987. Management believes that this
liquidity, along with expected cash from operations, will support the company's
continued growth, capital expenditures, cash dividends, and expansion plans.

Net trade receivables increased $4.4 million or 4.3% at June 30, 1995 compared
with December 31, 1994. Trade receivables include installment receivables which
are due subsequent to one year from the balance sheet date. These amounts were
approximately $35.4 million and $33.8 million at June 30, 1995 and December 31,
1994, respectively. The increase in receivables is offset in part to the effect
of a revision to the Company's credit and internal operating policies within the
credit service center as discussed on page 8 under the caption "Other 1995
versus 1994".
