Part II, Items 5-8, and Part IV, Item 14.

Portions of the Proxy Statement for the 2000 Annual Meeting of Stockholders
of Rollins, Inc. are incorporated by reference into Part III, Items 10-13.


PART I

Item 1. Business

(a) General development of business.

There have been no significant changes in the nature of business conducted
by the Registrant since December 31, 1998. During the year, the Registrant
completed several strategic acquisitions designed to strengthen its market
position. Details of acquisitions and the creation of the joint venture which is
discussed at (c)(1)(ii) below and which are included on page 16 of the 1999
Annual Report to Stockholders are incorporated herein by reference.

(b) Financial information about industry segments.

The Registrant has only one reportable segment, its pest and termite
control business. Revenue, operating profit and identifiable assets for this
segment included on pages 12 and 13 of the 1999 Annual Report to Stockholders
are incorporated herein by reference.

(c) Narrative description of business.

(1)(i) The Registrant is a national service company with headquarters
located in Atlanta, Georgia, providing pest and termite control services to both
residential and commercial customers.

Orkin Exterminating Company, Inc. (Orkin), a wholly-owned subsidiary
founded in 1901, is one of the world's largest pest and termite control
companies. It provides customized services from over 400 locations to
approximately 1.7 million customers. Orkin serves customers in the United
States, Canada, and Mexico, providing essential pest control services and
protection against termite damage, rodents and insects to homes and businesses,
including hotels, food service establishments, dairy farms and transportation
companies.

(ii) In 1999 the Registrant and Johnson Wax Professional entered into a
joint venture, Acurid Retail Services, L.L.C., created to sell and provide pest
elimination services to customers in the retail market. This joint venture was a
further market expansion of AcuridSM, Orkin's premium brand of pest elimination
services for commercial customers, which was first introduced in 1998.

(iii) The Registrant maintains sufficient quantities of chemicals and
other supplies on hand to alleviate any potential short-term shortage in
availability from its national network of suppliers.

(iv) Other than the Orkin(R), PCO Services, Inc.(R), Acurid Retail
Services, L.L.C.(R) trademarks and the AcuridSM service mark, which are
material to the Registrant, governmental licenses, patents, trademarks and
franchises are of minor importance to the Registrant's service operations. Local
licenses and permits are required in order for the Registrant to conduct its
pest and termite control services in certain localities. In view of the
widespread operations of the Registrant's service operations, the failure of a
few local governments to license a facility would not have a material adverse
effect on the results of operations of the Registrant.

(v) The business of the Registrant is affected by the seasonal nature
of the Registrant's pest and termite control services. The metamorphosis of
termites in the spring and summer (the occurrence of which is determined by the
timing of the change in seasons) has historically resulted in an increase in the
revenue and income of the Registrant's pest and termite control operations
during such period.

(vi) The Registrant maintains a sufficient level of materials and
supplies to fulfill its servicing needs.

(vii) The Registrant and its subsidiaries do not have a material part
of their business that is dependent upon a single customer or a few customers,
the loss of which would have a material effect on the business of the
Registrant.

2


(viii) The dollar amount of service contracts and backlog orders as of
the end of the Registrant's 1999 and 1998 calendar years was approximately
$17,750,960 and $14,231,000, respectively. Backlog services and orders are
usually provided within the month following the month of receipt, except in the
area of prepaid pest control where services are usually provided within twelve
months of receipt.

(ix) The Registrant and its subsidiaries do not have a material portion
of their business that may be subject to renegotiation of profits or termination
of contracts at the election of a governmental entity.

(x) The Registrant believes that Orkin competes favorably with
competitors as one of the world's largest pest and termite control companies.

The principal methods of competition in the Registrant's pest and
termite control business are service and guarantees, including the money-back
guarantee on pest and termite control, and the termite retreatment and damage
repair guarantee to qualified homeowners.

(xi) Expenditures by the Registrant on research activities relating to
the development of new products or services are not significant. Some of the new
and improved service methods and products are researched, developed and produced
by unaffiliated universities and companies. Also, a portion of these methods and
products are produced to the specifications provided by the Registrant.

(xii) Other than the impact on the Registrant of the 1997 provision for
termite contracts which was established to address the abnormal occurrence of
termite claims, and the related cost to more frequently reapply materials, the
capital expenditures, earnings and competitive position of the Registrant and
its subsidiaries are not materially affected by compliance with federal, state
and local provisions which have been enacted or adopted regulating the discharge
of materials into the environment, or otherwise relating to the protection of
the environment.

(xiii) The number of persons employed by the Registrant and its
subsidiaries as of February 29, 2000 was approximately 9,350.

(d) Financial information about foreign and domestic operations and export
sales.

The Registrant and its subsidiaries do not have foreign operations
which are material to their business in terms of revenue, income (loss) from
continuing operations, or assets.

Item 2. Properties.

The Registrant's administrative headquarters and central warehouse,
both of which are owned by the Registrant, are located at 2170 Piedmont Road,
N.E., Atlanta, Georgia 30324. The Registrant owns or leases several hundred
branch offices and operating facilities used in its business. None of the branch
offices, individually considered, represents a materially important physical
property of the Registrant. The facilities are suitable and adequate to meet the
current and reasonably anticipated future needs of the Registrant.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

One of the Registrant'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.

3


Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Registrant is a
defendant in a number of lawsuits which allege that plaintiffs have been damaged
as a result of the rendering of services by Registrant personnel and equipment.
The Registrant 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 Registrant's financial position, results of operations or
liquidity.

Item 3.A. Forward-Looking Statements.

This Annual Report 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, results
of operations and liquidity; the Company's potential for recurring revenue; and
the Company's projected 2000 performance. 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; the failure of the Company or its
major suppliers or customers to adequately address the Year 2000 programming
issue; 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 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

There were no matters submitted to a vote of security holders through
the solicitation of proxies or otherwise, during the fourth quarter of 1999.
