              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)

NOTE 1.           BASIS OF PREPARATION

                  The  condensed   consolidated  financial  statements  included
                  herein  have been  prepared  by the  Company,  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
                  accounting  principles generally accepted in the United States
                  have been  condensed  or  omitted  pursuant  to such rules and
                  regulations.

                  These condensed  consolidated  financial  statements should be
                  read in conjunction with the financial  statements and related
                  notes  contained in the  Company's  annual report on Form 10-K
                  for the year  ended  December  31,  1999.

                  In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated
                  financial statements included  herein  contain  all  normal
                  recurring  adjustments necessary  to present  fairly the
                  financial  position  of the Company as of June 30, 2000 and
                  December  31,  1999,  and the results of operations  for the
                  three and six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 and cash
                  flows for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999.
                  Operating results for the three months and six months ended
                  June 30, 2000 are not necessarily  indicative of the results
                  that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2000.

                  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 130 (SFAS
                  130), "Reporting  Comprehensive Income," establishes standards
                  for reporting comprehensive income and its components. For the
                  six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999,  comprehensive income
                  is not materially  different from net income and, as a result,
                  the  impact  of SFAS  130 is not  reflected  in the  Company's
                  condensed consolidated financial statements included herein.

                  Certain  amounts for prior periods have been  reclassified  to
                  conform  with  the  current  period   condensed   consolidated
                  financial statement  presentation.  Such reclassifications had
                  no effect on previously reported net income.

NOTE 2.           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

NOTE 4.           LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

                  One  of  the  Company's   subsidiaries,   Orkin  Exterminating
                  Company,  Inc., is a named  defendant in Helen Cutler and Mary
                  Lewin v. Orkin Exterminating  Company., Inc. et al. pending in
                  the District Court of Houston County,  Alabama. The plaintiffs
                  in the above  mentioned  case  filed suit in March of 1996 and
                  are seeking monetary damages and injunctive relief for alleged
                  breach of contract arising out of alleged missed or inadequate
                  reinspections.  The attorneys for the plaintiffs  contend that
                  the case is  suitable  for a class  action  and the  court has
                  ruled that the plaintiffs would be permitted to pursue a class
                  action lawsuit against Orkin.  The Company  believes this case
                  to be without merit and intends to defend itself vigorously at
                  trial.  At this  time,  the final  outcome  of the  litigation
                  cannot be determined. 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.

                  Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Company is
                  a  defendant  in  a  number  of  lawsuits  which  allege  that
                  plaintiffs  have been damaged as a result of the  rendering of
                  services by Company  personnel and  equipment.  The Company is
                  actively  contesting  these  actions.  It is  the  opinion  of
                  Management  that the outcome of these  actions will not have a
                  material adverse effect on the Company's  financial  position,
                  results of operations or liquidity.

Item 2.           Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations.

The  Company  reported  net  income of $8.1  million  or $0.27 per share for the
quarter  compared  to net  income  of $7.6  million  or $0.25  per share for the
comparable  quarter  in 1999.  Net  income  for the  first  six  months  of 2000
increased  10.0% to $8.9 million or $0.30 per share  compared to $8.1 million or
$0.27 per share for the same period in 1999. Revenues for the second quarter and
six months ended June 30, 2000, increased to 11.2% and 13.0%, respectively.

The  improvement  in  earnings  for the  quarter  and first six months  resulted
primarily from  quarter-over-quarter  increases in both pest and termite control
revenue and Cost of Services  Provided and Selling,  General and  Administrative
margin improvements.  The improvements in Cost of Services Provided and Selling,
General  and  Administrative  margins  were  partially  offset by a decrease  in
Interest Income and an increase in Provision for Income Taxes.

The Company's revenue  improvement for the ninth  consecutive  quarter continued
the positive  momentum  initiated in 1998. The Company believes the improvements
in revenue and net income resulted from the strategic programs initiated in 1997
and 1998 to build  recurring  revenue,  expand  the  Company's  commercial  pest
control business and contain termite claims costs.

Results of Operations

Revenues  increased  to $180.5  million for the second  quarter 2000 from $162.3
million for the same quarterly period of 1999. For the first six months of 2000,
the Company has generated revenues of $330.1 million,  up 13.0% from last year's
amount of $292.2 million.  Factors  contributing to the increase in revenues are
increases in the pest control  commercial  customer base and in average  termite
completion and annual renewal  prices.  The increase in pest control  commercial
customer  base  resulted  from last year's  acquisitions  and the success of its
selling and service programs.

Cost of Services Provided was  approximately  $9.1 million higher than the prior
year quarter but improved to represent 54.7% of revenues compared with 55.3% for
the same  quarter of the prior year.  For the first six months of 2000,  Cost of
Services  Provided improved to represent 56.3% of revenues compared to 57.0% for
the prior year period. The improvement was primarily attributable to reductions,
as a percentage of revenues,  in service  salaries,  termite claims  experience,
operating insurance costs and improved inventory management.

Selling,  General and  Administrative  increased $6.1 million but decreased as a
percentage  of revenues to 35.6%  compared to 35.9% for the same  quarter of the
prior year.  For the first half of 2000,  Selling,  General  and  Administrative
decreased as a percentage of revenues to 36.8% compared with 37.2% for the prior
year period.  The  improvements as a percentage of revenues  resulted  primarily
from better leveraging of fixed costs due to higher revenues.

Interest  Income  decreased  $855,000  compared to the same quarter of the prior
year, and decreased $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared
to the same period of the prior year.  The decreases were primarily due to lower
invested  funds over the prior year  periods.  The  decrease in  invested  funds
resulted primarily from the use of cash to fund acquisitions.

The  Company's  net tax  provisions  of $5.0  million  for the  quarter and $5.5
million for the first six months reflect increased taxable income over the prior
year periods.

Financial Condition

The Company believes its current cash balances, future cash flows from operating
activities  and  line of  credit  will be  sufficient  to  finance  its  current
operations  and  obligations,  and  fund  expansion  of  the  business  for  the
foreseeable future. The Company's  operations generated cash of $9.0 million for
the first six months of 2000 compared with cash provided by operating activities
of $17.1 million in the same period of 1999.  This decrease  resulted  primarily
from unfavorable  changes in working capital related primarily to differences in
the timing of accounts receivable,  accounts payable and other accrued expenses,
partially offset by favorable  changes in the accrual for termite  contracts and
unearned  revenue and higher net income from  operations,  adjusted for non-cash
items. The favorable changes in unearned revenue resulted primarily from our new
service offering, Directed Liquid-Termite Baiting Program, which has the benefit
of  generating  additional  recurring  revenue by deferring a portion of termite
baiting  sales  to the  balance  sheet  in the form of  unearned  revenue.  This
unearned  revenue  will be  recognized  as revenue  over the life of the related
contracts.

The Company  invested  approximately  $12.0 million in capital  expenditures and
acquisitions  during the first six months of 2000, and expects to invest between
$9.0 and $11.0 million during the remainder of 2000,  inclusive of  improvements
to its management information systems. Capital expenditures during the first six
months of 2000 consisted  primarily of equipment  replacements  and upgrades and
improvements to the Company's management  information systems.  During the first
six months,  cash used in financing  activities was  approximately  $5.3 million
compared  with cash used of $8.6  million for the same period of the prior year.
The  primary  reason  for the  improvement  in cash  used is  attributable  to a
decrease  in  the  amount  of  the  Company's   common  stock   repurchases  and
retirements.  Of total cash used in  financing  activities,  approximately  $3.0
million was paid in cash  dividends and $154,000 was paid for the repurchase and
retirement of 10,122 shares of the Company's  Common Stock as part of an odd-lot
buy-back program.  The capital  expenditures,  acquisitions,  cash dividends and
stock   repurchases  were  primarily  funded  through  existing  cash  balances,
marketable  securities and operating  activities.  The Company maintains a $40.0
million line of credit, of which  approximately  $37.0 million was available for
borrowing as of July 31, 2000.

In 1997 and 1998,  Orkin and other  pest  control  industry  companies  received
letters from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) advising of its investigation of
the pest control industry - more specifically,  the termite and moisture control
practices of the industry - and requesting certain information  voluntarily from
the Company.  Orkin has voluntarily  provided the information  requested and has
advised the FTC of the Company's  intention to continue to cooperate  fully with
this  investigation.  At this point in time,  management  does not believe  this
investigation  will have a material  effect  upon its results of  operations  or
financial condition.  In addition, the Company is aggressively defending a class
action lawsuit filed in Dothan,  Alabama. For further discussion,  see Note 4 to
the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Impact of Recent Accounting Pronouncements
------------------------------------------

In 1998, the Financial  Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities."  In second quarter 1999, the Financial  Accounting  Standards Board
voted to delay the  effective  date of this  standard to fiscal years  beginning
after June 15, 2000. The adoption of this standard, effective for the Company as
of  January  1, 2001,  is not  expected  to  materially  impact  the  results of
operations or financial condition of the Company.

Forward-Looking Statements
--------------------------

This Form 10-Q  contains  forward-looking  statements  within the meaning of the
Private  Securities   Litigation  Reform  Act  of  1995.  Such   forward-looking
statements  include  statements  regarding the expected impact of the outcome of
litigation  arising in the  ordinary  course of business  and the outcome of the
Helen  Cutler and Mary  Lewin v.  Orkin  Exterminating  Company.,  Inc.,  et al.
("Cutler")  litigation on the Company's financial  condition,  and the Company's
ability to fund current operations and obligations and proposed  expansion.  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,  the  possibility of a court ruling against the
Company in litigation or in the Cutler litigation;  general economic conditions;
market  risk;  changes in  industry  practices  or  technologies;  the degree of
success of the Company's  termite  process  reforms and pest control selling and
treatment  methods;  the Company's ability to identify  potential  acquisitions;
climate and weather trends; competitive factors and pricing practices; potential
increases  in  labor  costs;   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.

Item 3.           Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

As of July 31,  2000,  the  Company no longer  maintains  a material  investment
portfolio  subject to interest  rate risk  exposure.  The  Company is,  however,
subject to interest rate risk  exposure  through its line of credit as discussed
in the  liquidity  section of  Management's  Discussion  & Analysis.  Due to the
immaterial  amount  of such  borrowings  as of July 31,  2000  and as  currently
anticipated  at December 31, 2000,  this risk is not expected to have a material
effect upon the  Company's  results of operations  or financial  position  going
forward.
