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, 1997.
Prior year amounts have been restated to reflect the 1997
divestitures of the Company's Rollins Protective Services
division and its Lawn Care and Plantscaping businesses.
In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial
statements included herein contain all normal recurring
adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of
of the Registrant as of June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997,
and the results of operations and cash flows for the six months
ended June 30, 1998 and 1997. Operating results for the quarter
ended June 30, 1998 or the six months ended June 30, 1998 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the year ended December 31, 1998.
NOTE 2. PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
The book provision for income taxes includes the liability for
state income taxes, net of the federal tax benefit. The deferred
provision arises from the changes during the year in the Company's
net deferred tax asset or liability.
NOTE 3. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Pursuant to the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share," the number of weighted
averge shares used in computing basic and diluted earnings per

NOTE 4. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Effective January, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 130 (SFAS 130), "Reporting Comprehensive
Income," which establishes standards for the presentation and
disclosure of other comprehensive income. For the second quarter and
six months ended June 30, 1998, comprehensive income is not materially
different from net income and, as a result, the impact is not reflected
in the attached Statements of Income and Earnings Retained or Statements
of Financial Position.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 132, "Employers'
Disclosures about Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits,"
will be adopted effective with the year-end financial statements
dated December 31, 1998.

PART I. ITEM 2. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
MANAGEMENT 'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FOR THE SECOND QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 1998
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The divestitures of the Orkin Lawn Care and Plantscaping divisions in
July, 1997 marked the Company's return to a single operational focus.
Accordingly, the results of operations are presented on a continuing
operations basis.
Revenues for the second quarter ended June 30, 1998 increased 0.4% to
$155.1 million. Net income increased 9.4% to $6.9 million. Basic and
diluted earnings per share were 21 cents compared to 19 cents last year,
a 10.5% increase.
Year-to-date, revenues decreased 1.2% to $278.0 million with net income
decreasing 55.1% to $5.1 million for an earnings per share of 16 cents
compared to 34 cents last year.
For the quarter, pest control revenue and customer base increased
substantially. The number of pest control contracts sold grew at a
double-digit rate over last year. The positive trend in pest control
revenue is a direct effect of the success of the Company's new marketing,
sales and customer service programs. Termite revenue continues to lag
due to more restrictive sales policies. The Company continues to
undertake proactive measures in its termite business and believes these
measures will contribute to its long-term revenue growth and
profitability. Net income improved due to higher revenues and margin
improvement.
Revenue and income from discontinued operations after income taxes for
the second quarter ended June 30, 1997 were $23.4 million and $100,000,
respectively. Year-to-date revenue and income from discontinued
operations for 1997 were $46.9 million and $149,000, respectively.

Current Ratio 2.0 2.3
</TABLE>
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 share repurchases.
Interest income increased 111.3% for the six months ended June 30, 1998
as compared to the same period in 1997 due to the increase in average
cash invested in short-term investments and marketable securities as a
result of the 1997 divestitures.
Net trade receivables decreased $1.3 million or 2.5% at June 30, 1998
compared with December 31, 1997. Trade receivables include installment
receivables which are due subsequent to one year from the balance sheet
date. These amounts were approximately $15.4 million and $13.9 million
at June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, respectively. The decrease in
receivables is primarily the result of decreased financed sales in the
termite business.
Over the past several years, the termite treatment division of the pest
control industry has faced great challenges in solving property owners'
termite problems. Some of the reasons for the increased difficulty in
protecting structures have been changes in building practices and
materials that have increased the property owners' potential for
termites, the loss of Chlordane from the market in 1987 which resulted
in the use of termiticides that may only last for a few years under some
conditions, and laws and regulations restricting certain retreatment
practices. All of the above factors have subjected termite service
providers to experience elevated levels of claims. The Company's
response to the industry-wide conditions is to undertake broad changes
in its own termite processes. New quality control and field training
programs, more thorough communication to customers concerning conducive
conditions, and restrictions on the sale of certain structures were
initiated during 1997. As a result of the factors described above and
new information which became available in 1997, a Provision for Termite
Contracts of $117.0 million was recorded at December 31, 1997 related
to the anticipated costs of reinspections, repair obligations, and
associated labor, chemicals, and other costs incurred relative to termite
work performed prior to December 31, 1997. The Company believes the
related accrued liabilities are still reasonable at June 30, 1998.
7 of 10
<PAGE>
During the six month period ended June 30, 1998, the Company invested
$6.6 million in capital expenditures and acquisitions. Also, $10.0
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 ended June 30, 1998, the Company repurchased 587,000
shares of its common stock, confirming management's and the Board of
Director's confidence in the Company's future. For the six months ended
June 30, 1998, 669,000 shares have been repurchased.
During the fourth quarter of 1997, Orkin received a letter from the
Federal Trade Commission (FTC) advising of their investigation of the
pest control industry - more specifically, the termite control
practices of the industry. The FTC has requested certain information
voluntarily from Orkin and they have been advised of our intention to
cooperate fully with their investigation. At this point in time, it is
too early to determine the impact, if any, of the investigation.
MANAGEMENT CHANGES
In the second quarter of 1998, the Company announced two senior
management changes. Harry J. Cynkus, age 48, was appointed as the
Company's new Vice President of Finance, Chief Financial Officer and
Treasurer. Also, Michael W. Knottek, age 53, Vice President of
Corporate Administration, was elected to the office of Vice President
and Secretary.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements as defined in the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The actual results of
the Company could differ materially from those indicated by the
forward-looking statements because of various risks and uncertainties,
including without limitation, general economic conditions, changes in
industry practices or technologies, climate and weather trends,
competitive factors and pricing pressures, uncertainties of litigation
and changes in various government laws and regulations, including
environmental regulations. All of the foregoing risks and uncertainties
are beyond the ability of the Company to control, and in many cases the
Company cannot predict the risks and uncertainties that could cause its
actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the
forward-looking statements.
