                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (Unaudited)


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, 1993.

           Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with
           the third quarter 1994 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
           September 30, 1994 and December 31, 1993, and the results of
           operations and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30,
           1994 and 1993.

NOTE 2.    INVESTMENT IN MARKETABLE SECURITIES

           During the first quarter of 1994, the Company adopted Statement of
           Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115, "Accounting for
           Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." The adoption of
           SFAS No. 115 did not have a material effect on the Company's
           financial position, results of operations, or liquidity for the
           nine months ended September 30, 1994. 

NOTE 3.    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 4.    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 5.    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
           and results of operations and will take an extended time to resolve.

General Operating Comments

Rollins, Inc. reported another quarter of record earnings.  Revenues for the
third quarter ended September 30, 1994 reached $158.0 million, an increase of
$6.2 million or 4.1% from the prior year period ($24.0 million or 5.4% year-
to-date).  Operating income increased $1.7 million or 7.9% to $22.9 million
for the quarter ($7.1 million or 10.8% year-to-date). Although the pest
control season was negatively impacted by the weather, the Company produced
consistent net income results. This marks the 18th consecutive quarter of
double-digit net income increases. 

The Company continued its commitment to strategically expand its business
units through the combination of new marketing programs, acquisitions, and the
opening of new branches.  As a whole, the Company is working hard to improve
employee productivity and increase customer growth, while maintaining tight
control of expenses.  The results of investments in customer service and
recurring revenue growth during the first half of 1994 are beginning to be
realized and should continue with overall favorable earnings for the year.
  
Net income for the quarter grew 11.3% to $13.0 million and earnings per share
was 36 cents, compared to 33 cents a year ago, a 9.1% improvement.  Year-to-
date, net income increased 11.8% to $41.0 million and earnings per share was
$1.14, an increase of 10.7% from the previous year.

For the quarter, the Orkin Group's operating income increased 7.3% to $19.3
million on revenues of $138.8 million which grew 3.8% over 1993. These results
provided improved operating margins of 13.9%, compared to 13.5% in the prior
year. Rollins Protective Services' operating income increased 7.1% to $1.8
million on revenues of $15.5 million. 

For the nine months ended September 30, 1994, Orkin revenues increased 4.9%
with operating income improving 10.2%.  Operating margins grew to 15.7%
compared to 14.9% for the same period last year.  Rollins Protective Services'
revenues grew 6.7%; operating income improved 11.4% over last year, with
operating margins increasing to 10.2%.  

Detail segment information follows.

        FOR THE THIRD QUARTER AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1994


Orkin 1994 Versus 1993 

Revenues increased 3.8% to $138.8 million and operating income increased 7.3%
to $19.3 million for the third quarter ended September 30, 1994. For the nine
months ended September 30, 1994, Orkin had revenues of $410.3 million and
operating income of $64.2 million (increases of 4.9% and 10.2%, respectively,
from the prior year).  Pest Control and Termite services increased their sales
dollars and customer base for the quarter and year-to-date.  The Company
maintained its commitment to expanding its existing operations by entering new
geographic markets with the opening of new branches. The fundamentals and
financial position of the Pest Control business remain very strong and the
Company is motivated to taking full advantage of market opportunities through
alternative services such as the Agribusiness service with strong revenue
gains.  Success with other marketing programs also contributed to revenue and
operating income improvements such as the introduction of a 24 hour service on
its 1-800 number and a neighborhood marketing campaign, initiated in 1993, was
expanded during the third quarter and has exceeded sales expectations.  Orkin
utilized it's telemarketing program to make "quality assurance calls", which
has provided confirmation on the level of customer satisfaction, in
addition to generating potential sales benefits of cross-marketing from our
customers.  Of the customers surveyed, 98% reported that they are pleased with
our service, which creates an ideal prospect for additional Rollins services. 

Rollins Protective Services (RPS) 1994 Versus 1993

For the third quarter, Rollins Protective Services had revenues of $15.5
million, an increase of 4.2%, and operating income improving 7.1% to $1.8
million.  For the first nine months, RPS had revenues of $45.7 million, an
increase of 6.7%, and operating income of $4.7 million, an increase of 11.4%. 
In the third quarter of 1993, RPS reported sales improvements due
to the benefits realized by refocusing its attention on the residential market
through the introduction of a new mid-range product (the Protector).   Revenue
growth in 1994 is being driven by above-average commercial and National Accounts
program results.  Customer acceptance of the Vision 2000 home surveillance
security system, introduced in the second quarter, has been strong and will
contribute into 1995.

   Cash Provided From Operations 
   (Twelve Months Ended)                   $  36,841           $  40,034


At September 30, 1994 cash and short-term investments were $28.4 million, an
increase of $10.3 million from December 31, 1993, due primarily to reduced
investment activities during 1994.  The investment in marketable securities at
September 30, 1994, was $51.9 million.

At September 30, 1994 the current ratio was 2.9 and  working capital was
$140.7 million (an increase of $23.2 million or 19.7% compared to December 31,
1993). 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.

Trade receivables, net increased $17.1 million or 19.5% at September 30, 1994
compared with December 31, 1993.  Trade receivables include installment
receivables which are due subsequent to one year from the balance sheet date. 
These amounts were approximately $34.9 million and $28.7 million at the end of
the September 30, 1994 and December 31, 1993, respectively.  The increase in
receivables is attributed to the continuing effect of an Orkin termite and
Rollins Protective Services marketing programs, the increased average length
and amount of an Orkin contract, and the overall increase in Company revenues
of 4.1% for the quarter and 5.4% year-to-date.
