General Operating Comments

The second quarter financial results were disappointing.  However, the
investments made in the Company's core businesses along with the expansion
of tested marketing and service  programs will favorably affect the
Company's future growth and profitability.

Revenues for the second quarter ended June 30, 1997 of $177.8 million were
approximately  flat when compared to the same period last year.  Operating
income of $11.5 million decreased  47.0% for the quarter, while net income
decreased 50.8% to $6.3 million.  Earnings per share were  19 cents versus
36 cents for the second quarter 1996.  Year-to-date, net income decreased
40.4% to $11.5 million and earnings per share were 34 cents versus 54 cents
last year.

For the quarter, Orkin's operating income decreased 47.1% to $10.9 million
on a 0.5% revenue increase to $160.1 million.  Operating margins were 6.8%,
compared to 13.0% in the prior year. Rollins Protective Services' (RPS)
operating income decreased 57.1% to $0.6 million on a revenue decrease of
$0.7 million or 4.6% to $15.2 million.  RPS' operating margins were 4.0%
compared to 8.9% last year.

For the six months ended June 30, 1997, Orkin's revenue increased 3.1% with
operating income declining 39.9%.  Operating margins were 6.6%, compared to
11.3% for the same period last year.  RPS revenue decreased 0.8% while
operating income decreased 45.7%. Operating margins declined from 8.7% to
4.7%.  Detail segment information follows.

Orkin 1997 Versus 1996 
For the quarter, Orkin had increases in pest control revenue and termite
renewal revenue.   However, these gains were offset by a decrease in termite
sales revenue which can be   attributed to a cold, wet spring and changes in
sales policies.  Operating income for the quarter was negatively impacted by
the shortfall in termite sales, increased insurance costs, and termite
claims.

Rollins Protective Services (RPS) 1997 Versus 1996

RPS' revenue decline for the quarter was due primarily to a strategic
diversification to more competitive mid-market products.  Earnings were
negatively impacted by the shortfall in  revenues and increased sales and
marketing expenses.   However, double-digit growth  was experienced in unit
sales as well as service and monitoring revenue.  The strategies RPS
continues to implement along with account acquisitions in existing markets
will improve its long-term revenues and profits.




Other 1997 Versus 1996

Other businesses revenue decreased 7.5% for the quarter and 12.3% for the
six month period primarily as a result of an 8.8% and 11.6% reduction in
the average interest-earning receivables  for the quarter and six month
period, respectively, within the consumer finance company, Rollins
Acceptance Company (RAC).  The unfavorable revenue results were offset by
lower expenses in RAC for an improvement in operating income of 87.1% and
85.0% for the quarter and six month period, respectively.

Rollins, Inc.'s financial position remained solid.  The Company's
operations have historically provided a strong positive cash flow which
represents the Company's principal source of funds.  Management believes
that this liquidity, along with expected cash from operations, will support
the Company's continued growth, capital expenditures, cash dividends, and
future expansion.

Interest income decreased 14.1% for the six months ended June 30, 1997, due
to the decrease in average funds invested in short-term investments and
marketable securities and realized losses.

Net trade receivables increased $3.6 million or 4.6% at June 30, 1997
compared with December 31, 1996.  Trade receivables include installment
receivables which are due subsequent to one year from the balance sheet
date.  These amounts were approximately $18.6 million and $19.0 million at
June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, respectively.

During the six month period, the Company invested $7.5 million in capital
expenditures and acquisitions.  Also, $10.3 million was paid out in cash
dividends.  The Company maintains a $40.0 million unused line of credit. 
This source of funds has not been used, but is available for future
acquisitions and growth, if needed.

During the quarter, the Company repurchased 433,300 shares of its common
stock, confirming  management's and the Board of Directors' confidence in
the Company's future.  The Company  has repurchased a total of 922,600
shares in 1997.  Furthermore, the Board of Directors  authorized the
purchase by the Company of up to an additional 2,000,000 shares of its
common stock.  The purchases will be made from time to time using funds
already on hand.
