                                (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, 1994.

         Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to
         conform with the third 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 September 30, 1995 and
         December 31, 1994, and the results of operations and
         cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 1995
         and 1994.

NOTE 2.  SPECIAL CHARGE

         A special charge of $12,000,000 ($7,440,000 after tax
         benefit or $0.21 per share) was recorded in the third
         quarter 1995.  The charge was primarily for the write-
         off of doubtful accounts receivable.

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, results of operations, or liquidity.

          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                            AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
        FOR THE THIRD QUARTER AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995


    GENERAL OPERATING COMMENTS

    The third quarter operating results were a reflection of the
    Company's decision to support major business investments in all
    areas of operations to achieve its tradition of strategic
    planning and investing for long-term benefits.  Competition and
    current business conditions support the Company's decision to
    make major investments in marketing, customer service, and
    division operations, in order to increase market share and
    profits.  In addition, third quarter earnings were negatively
    impacted by a one-time special charge of $12.0 million ($7.4
    million after-tax or $0.21 per share) associated with the
    restructuring and realignment of the consumer finance area,
    Rollins Acceptance Company (RAC).  Exclusive of the special
    charge, earnings per share would have been 30 cents compared to
    36 cents for the same quarter last year and $1.11 per share
    versus $1.14 through the same nine month period last year.

    Revenues for the third quarter ended September 30, 1995 increased
    2.7% or $4.3 million, to $162.3 million from the prior year
    period ($14.0 million or 3.0% year-to-date).  Operating income
    decreased $16.1 million to $6.8 million for the quarter, and
    decreased $16.0 million to $57.0 million year-to-date, primarily
    due to the special charge.  Net income for the quarter decreased
    73.5% to $3.5 million and earnings per share were 9 cents.  Year-
    to-date net income was $32.4 million compared to $41.0 million;
    while earnings per share were 90 cents, a 21.1% decrease from a
    year ago.

    For the quarter, the Orkin Group's operating income decreased
    11.1% to $17.2 million on revenues of $143.3 million which grew
    3.2% over 1994.  Operating margins were 12.0%, compared to 13.9%
    in the prior year. Rollins Protective Services' operating income
    decreased 26.1% to $1.4 million on revenues of $15.6 million.

    For the nine months ended September 30, 1995, the Orkin Group
    revenues increased 3.8% to $425.9 million, with operating income
    remaining relatively unchanged at $64.2 million.  Operating
    margins deteriorated to 15.1% compared to 15.7% for the same
    period last year.  Rollins Protective Services (RPS) revenue
    declined 2.7%, along with operating income 11.8% lower, while
    operating margins were 9.3% compared to 10.2% a  year ago.
    Detail segment information follows.

    ORKIN 1995 VERSUS 1994

    Pest Control services increased their sales dollars and customer
    base for the quarter and year-to-date.  Termite demand was lower
    than expectations due to the lagging effect of the termite
    season.  However, Orkin continues to be encouraged by the
    positive results in recurring pest


                                 7 of 11


<PAGE>


    control sales.  Residential leads and sales were up solidly over last
    year.  Orkin's strategic investments in the pest control business segment
    include increases in sales and service personnel, value marketing
    programs and continued development of the customer service/telecenter
    operation.  These expenditures will continue into next year, but should be
    instrumental in making the Company stronger.  The comparisons in operating
    results were also affected by the December 1994 sale of the 11 Northern Lawn
    Care locations.

    ROLLINS PROTECTIVE SERVICES 1995 VERSUS 1994

    RPS continues its investments in strategic programs that include
    customer service and product development.  In addition, the
    consolidation and reengineering of the customer service/alarm
    monitoring center was completed during the third quarter.  RPS
    continued to experience some difficulty in achieving an
    appropriate product sales mix; however, the recurring revenue
    customer base continues to grow through customer service programs
    and acquisitions.  RPS completed three acquisitions during the
    quarter which allowed for the expansion of its services in the
    three existing markets, while providing their customers continued
    access to quality service.

    OTHER 1995 VERSUS 1994

    Other businesses revenue decreased 5.5% and 2.8% for the quarter
    and year-to-date, respectively, due to revisions of the Company's
    credit and internal operating policies within the consumer
    finance area (RAC).  The volume of Company financed sales is
    slightly lower than last year, as the revised policies redirected
    marketing efforts toward stronger customer demographics
    inconjunction with the lower than anticipated termite demand.  A
    special charge of $12.0 million ($7.4 million after tax benefit
    or $0.21 per share) was recorded in the third quarter 1995.  The
    charge was primarily for the write-off of doubtful accounts
    receivable.  To more effectively manage the financed receivables
    portfolio, the Company expanded RAC's physical facility, acquired
    new computers and phone dialing equipment, and increased the
    staffing of collectors.

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 decreased $9.5 million or 9.4% at September
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 $30.5 million and $33.8 million at September 30,
1995 and December 31, 1994, respectively.  The decrease in
receivables is primarily the result of the amounts written off as
doubtful accounts through the special charge and the effect of
the revisions to the Company's credit and internal operating
policies within the consumer finance area, as discussed on page 8
under the caption "Other 1995 versus 1994".

The deferred income tax liability decreased 34.6% from December
31, 1994, due to the reduction of certain book/tax timing
differences and  payment of an income tax assessment associated
with the completion of an IRS audit spanning five years' tax filings.

Long-term accrued liabilities decreased 23.6% from December 31,
1994, primarily due to the timing of payments for claims
settlements of various general liability, workers' compensation,
and vehicle liability incidents within the Company's self-insurance program.
