Item 1.  Financial Statements

A.   Basis of Presentation
     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not
include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating
results for the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2000 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ended September 30, 2000.  These statements should be read in conjunction
with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 1999.

B.   Earnings Per Share

required during the periods presented.

C.   Acquisitions and Disposition of Business
     On October 29, 1999, the Company, through its wholly owned and
principal operating subsidiary Rollins Leasing Corp., acquired the net
assets and business of Keen Leasing, Inc. ("Keen") for a total purchase
price of $45,611,000 including cash of $42,358,000 and the assumption of
liabilities of $3,253,000.  Keen is a truck rental and leasing business
headquartered in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, which currently services
approximately 1,800 vehicles from 13 locations in Pennsylvania, Maryland
and Virginia.  The fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is
summarized as follows (in thousands):

     Current assets                       $  1,348
     Equipment on operating leases          28,146
     Other property and equipment            5,597
     Excess of cost over net assets
       of business acquired                 10,520
     Current liabilities                      (180)
     Equipment financing obligations        (3,073)
          Purchase Price                  $ 42,358




FORM 10-Q                                                    Page 6 of 12

    On January 3, 2000, Rollins Leasing Corp. acquired all of the issued
and outstanding shares of capital stock of UPS Truck Leasing from the UPS
Logistics Group, a unit of United Parcel Service, Inc.  UPS Truck Leasing
provides full-service lease and rental services on more than 10,000
vehicles to 4,000 customers throughout the United States.  The Company
intends to continue the business of UPS Truck Leasing.

    The purchase price of $217,648,000 consisted of a cash payment of
$197,648,000 and the issuance of 2,000,000 shares of the Company's $1.00
par value common stock with a fair value of $20,000,000.

    Financing for the cash portion of the transaction was provided from
borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facilities and the proceeds
from the sale of the assets and business of Rollins Logistics Inc., as more
fully described below.

    The purchase price has been allocated to the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed based on preliminary estimates of fair values at
January 3, 2000.  The excess of cost over net assets acquired is being
amortized over 20 years on a straight-line basis.  The Company does not
believe that the final purchase price allocation will differ significantly
from the purchase price allocation recorded at January 3, 2000.  The fair
value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is summarized as follows
(in thousands):

        Current assets                         $  32,206
        Equipment on operating leases            123,978
        Other property and equipment              17,429
        Excess of cost over net assets
           of businesses acquired                 53,357
        Current liabilities                       (9,322)
           Purchase price                      $ 217,648

     These acquisitions have been accounted for using the purchase method
of accounting for business combinations and, accordingly, their operating
results have been included in the Company's consolidated financial
statements since their respective dates of acquisition.

     The following summarized unaudited pro-forma consolidated statement of
earnings information gives effect to the UPS Truck Leasing transaction as
though it had occurred at the beginning of fiscal 2000 and 1999, after
giving effect to certain adjustments, principally interest expense and the
amortization of goodwill.  The pro-forma financial information, which is
for informational purposes only, is based upon certain assumptions and
estimates and does not necessarily reflect the results that would have
occurred had the transaction actually taken place at the beginning of the
respective periods presented, nor are they necessarily indicative of future
consolidated results.  The effects of the other acquisition on the

    The net proceeds from these offerings were used by the Company to
purchase transportation equipment and repay existing revolving credit
facility indebtedness incurred to acquire transportation equipment.

    Temporary equipment financing is placed through the revolving credit
facility in the name of the Company's principal subsidiary, Rollins Leasing
Corp.  At June 30, 2000, the balance outstanding under the revolving credit
facility was $90,000,000.  There was no balance outstanding at September
30, 1999.

F.  Related Party Transaction
    The Company is the sponsor of the Rollins Truck Leasing Corp. Employee
Benefits Plan ("the Plan").  During May 2000, the Plan received
notification from the U.S. Department of Labor asserting violations of
several provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.
As a result of this notification, during June 2000, the Company funded the
Trust under the Plan $3,062,000.  The funds placed into the Trust by the
Company are available for the provision of future benefits under the Plan.

Item  2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
    As a result of the acquisitions and disposition of businesses, as more
fully described in Note C. to the consolidated financial statements,
detailed comparisons to prior periods are not meaningful.

Impact of Business Acquisitions and Business Disposition on Results of
Operations
    As a result of the acquisitions and disposition of businesses, as more
fully described in Note C. to the consolidated financial statements,
detailed comparisons to prior periods are not meaningful.

Results of Operations:  Nine Months Ended June 30, 2000 vs. Nine Months
Ended June 30, 1999
    Revenues for the nine months ended June 30, 2000 increased by
$70,489,000 (15.2%) to $533,380,000 compared with $462,891,000 for the same
period last year.  The increase in revenue reflects the net positive impact
that resulted from the business acquisitions and business disposition made
during the current fiscal year and strong internal growth.  Full-service
lease, guaranteed maintenance and commercial rental revenues all improved
over the same period last year.

    Operating expenses increased by $25,560,000 (14.3%) to $204,440,000
from $178,880,000 last year.  Operating expenses as a percent of revenues
were 38.3% and 38.6% in 2000 and 1999, respectively.

    Depreciation expense increased by $29,508,000 (20.0%) due in large part
to the acquisition of UPS Truck Leasing, which accounted for $10,117,000 of
the increase.  Additionally, the increased investment in equipment on
operating leases, as well as in the commercial rental fleet and related
transportation service facilities contributed to the increase.  As a
percent of revenues, depreciation expense increased to 33.2% in 2000 from
31.9% in 1999.

    Gain on the sale of property and equipment increased by $14,066,000
principally due to the significantly larger number of units sold during the
second and third quarters of fiscal 2000 primarily as a result of the
Company's decision to adjust the size of its commercial rental fleet.

    Selling and administrative expenses increased by $9,606,000 (23.0%) to
$51,371,000 during the current fiscal year from $41,765,000 last year and
reflected both the increase in revenue and the acquisition of UPS Truck
Leasing.  As a percent of revenues, selling and administrative expenses
increased to 9.6% in 2000 from 9.0% in 1999.



FORM 10-Q                                                    Page 9 of 12

    Interest expense increased by $17,349,000 (42.2%) due to the increased
level of borrowings and slightly higher interest rates when compared with
the same period last year.

    The effective income tax rate for the first nine months of 2000 and
1999 was 39.2% and 39.1%, respectively.

    Net earnings, exclusive of the net gain realized from the sale of the
assets and business of Rollins Logistics Inc., increased by $1,446,000
(3.6%) to $41,825,000 or $.72 per diluted share from $40,379,000 or $.69
per diluted share in fiscal 1999.  The increase resulted from the higher
revenues that were reduced in large part by the incremental costs
associated with such revenues and additional expenses incurred to integrate
the Company's recent acquisitions.

Results of Operations:  Quarter Ended June 30, 2000 vs. Quarter Ended June
30, 1999
    Revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 increased by $31,283,000
(20.0%) to $187,900,000 compared with $156,617,000 reported for the third
fiscal quarter last year.  Full-service lease, guaranteed maintenance and
commercial rental revenues all improved over the same quarter of the
preceding year.

    The increase in revenues reflects the net positive impact that resulted
from the acquisition of UPS Truck Leasing and the sale of the assets and
business of Rollins Logistics Inc. on January 3, 2000, as more fully
described elsewhere in this report.  Strong internal growth and other
acquisitions also contributed to the revenue growth.

    Operating expenses increased by $11,824,000 (20.4%) to $69,783,000
during the third fiscal quarter from $57,959,000 last year.  As a percent
of revenues, operating expenses increased to 37.1% in 2000 from 37.0% in
1999.  The third quarter included one-time transition expenses and charges
incurred in connection with the integration of recent acquisitions.  These
expenses included the costs of combining facilities and upgrading
maintenance standards on all acquired vehicles.  Shop labor, parts, tires
and outside repairs increased in the third quarter in order to bring all
acquired vehicles up to the Company's specifications.

    Depreciation expense increased by $13,666,000 (27.5%) due in part to
the acquisition of UPS Truck Leasing and in part due to increased
investment in equipment on operating leases, as well as in the expanded
commercial rental fleet and related transportation service facilities.  As
a percent of revenues, depreciation expense increased to 33.8% in 2000 from
31.8% in 1999.

    Gain on the sale of property and equipment increased by $4,270,000 to
$8,628,000 in 2000 compared with $4,358,000 in 1999.  The increase in the
gain in 2000 compared with the prior year resulted from the sale of nearly
twice the number of vehicles primarily as a result of the Company's
decision to adjust the size of its commercial rental fleet.






FORM 10-Q                                                   Page 10 of 12

    Selling and administrative expenses increased by $5,023,000 (35.6%).
The increase resulted from higher sales commissions and additional
personnel associated with the 60 branches opened or acquired during the
last year.  As a percent of revenues, selling and administrative expenses
increased to 10.2% in 2000 from 9.0% in 1999.

    Interest expense increased by $9,153,000 (64.9%) and reflected the
increased level of borrowings and slightly higher interest rates during the
third quarter when compared with the same period last year.  The Company's
overall level of borrowings has increased to support the higher level of
business.

    The effective income tax rate for the third fiscal quarter of 2000 and
1999 was 39.7% and 39.4%, respectively.

    Net earnings decreased by $2,275,000 (15.0%) to $12,881,000 or $.22 per
diluted share from $15,156,000 or $.26 per diluted share in fiscal 1999.
Despite the higher revenues associated with both recent acquisitions and
normal business expansion, net earnings were impacted adversely by the
costs and expenses incurred to fully integrate the Company's recent
business acquisitions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
    Cash flows from operating activities of $145,120,000 were generated
principally from net earnings of $76,302,000, which included a net gain of
$34,477,000 from the sale of the assets and business of Rollins Logistics
Inc., and the noncash depreciation and amortization expenses totaling
$179,584,000.  Available cash balances plus the net cash provided by
operating activities, the proceeds of equipment financing obligations of
$540,668,000, exclusive of borrowings incurred to finance acquisitions of
$170,400,000, and cash proceeds received from the sale of equipment of
$125,029,000 were used to purchase property and equipment for $568,497,000,
reduce equipment financing obligations by $247,930,000, repurchase and
retire common stock for $12,231,000 and pay dividends in the amount of
$9,539,000.

    The Company's principal subsidiary, Rollins Leasing Corp., maintains a
$150,000,000 revolving credit facility.  At June 30, 2000, $60,000,000 was
available under this facility, which requires the maintenance of specified
financial ratios and restricts payments to the Company.

    At June 30, 2000, the Company could sell an additional $50,000,000 of
Collateral Trust Debentures under its current shelf registration statement.
On May 3, 2000, the Company sold $150,000,000 of its 8.250% Series X
Collateral Trust Debentures, due May 1, 2002.  The proceeds were used to
redeem $50,000,000 of 10.35% Series I Collateral Trust Debentures on May
15, 2000 and to reduce indebtedness under the Company's revolving credit
facilities.  Based on its access to the debt markets and relationships with
current lending institutions and others who have expressed an interest in
providing financing, the Company expects to be able to obtain financing for
its equipment and facility purchases at market rates and under satisfactory
terms and conditions.  Covenants in the Company's outstanding Collateral
Trust Debentures restrict the Company's dividend payments to consolidated
net earnings subsequent to September 30, 1984 subject to certain
adjustments.
