NOTE 1. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND OTHER
Basis of Preparation - The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by Rollins, Inc. (the Company), without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable to quarterly reporting on Form 10-Q. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 94, Consolidation of All Majority-Owned Subsidiaries and Rule 3A-02(a) of Regulation S-X. In accordance with SFAS 94 and Rule 3A-02(a) of Regulation S-X, the Companys policy is to consolidate all subsidiaries and investees where it has voting control. The Company does not have any subsidiaries or investees where it has less than a 100% equity interest or less than 100% voting control, nor does it have any interest in other investees, joint ventures, or other variable interest entities that require consolidation under FASB interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (FIN 46R).
Footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted as permitted by such rules and regulations. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes contained in the Companys annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.
In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements included herein contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2009, the results of its operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 and its cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2009.
The Company has only one reportable segment, its pest and termite control business. The Companys results of operations and its financial condition are not reliant upon any single customer or a few customers or the Companys foreign operations.
A group that includes the Companys Chairman of the Board, R. Randall Rollins, and his brother, Gary W. Rollins, who is also a director of the Company, and certain companies under their control, controls in excess of 50% of the Companys voting power.
Estimates Used in the Preparation of Consolidated Financial StatementsThe preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying notes and financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash EquivalentsThe Company considers all investments with an original or purchased maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Short-term investments, all of which are cash equivalents, are stated at cost, which approximates fair market value.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets - In accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, the Company classifies intangible assets into three categories: (1) intangible assets with definite lives subject to amortization; (2) intangible assets with indefinite lives not subject to amortization; and (3) goodwill. The Company does not amortize intangible assets with indefinite lives and goodwill. Goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate the assets might be impaired. Such conditions may include an economic downturn or a change in the assessment of future operations. The Company performs impairment tests of goodwill at the Company level. Such impairment tests for goodwill include comparing the fair value of the appropriate reporting unit (the Company) with its carrying value. The Company performs impairment tests for indefinite-lived intangible assets by comparing the fair value of each indefinite-lived intangible asset unit to its carrying value. The Company recognizes an impairment charge if the assets carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value. The Company completed its most recent annual impairment analyses as of September 30, 2008. Based upon the results of these analyses, the Company has concluded that no impairment of its goodwill or other intangible assets was indicated.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets - In accordance with SFAS 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, the Companys long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and intangible assets with definite lives are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.
Franchising Program Orkin had 64 franchises as of June 30, 2009, including international franchises in Mexico, established in 2000, Panama, established in 2003, and Costa Rica, established in 2006, along with Honduras, the United Arab Emirates, the Dominican Republic and South Korea all of which were established in 2007 and franchises were established in the State of Qatar, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Kingdom of Bahrain, the State of Kuwait in 2008 and Cyprus was established in 2009.

The Companys maximum exposure to loss relating to the franchises (notes receivable less deferred franchise fees) aggregated $1.8 million, $1.7 million and $2.1 million at June 30, 2009, December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008 respectively.
Fair Value of Financial InstrumentsThe Companys financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, trade and notes receivables, accounts payable and other short-term liabilities. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate their fair values.

The Company has a Revolving Credit Agreement with SunTrust Bank and Bank of America, N.A. for an unsecured line of credit of up to $175.0 million, which includes a $75.0 million letter of credit subfacility, and a $10.0 million swingline subfacility. As of June 30, 2009, borrowings of $55.0 million were outstanding under the line of credit and no borrowings under the swingline subfacility. The fair value of outstanding borrowings at June 30, 2009 were approximately $52.8 million.
Seasonality The business of the Company is affected by the seasonal nature of the Companys pest and termite control services. The increase in pest pressure and activity, as well as 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 of the Companys pest and termite control operations during such periods as evidenced by the following chart.

NOTE 2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Statements of Financial Accounting Standards
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, including interim periods within that fiscal year. The Company has not elected the fair value option for any of its existing financial instruments as of December 31, 2008 and the Company has not determined whether or not it will elect this option for financial instruments it may acquire in the future.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statementsan amendment of ARB No. 51. SFAS 160 requires that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary be reported as equity and the amount of consolidated net income specifically attributable to the noncontrolling interest be identified in the consolidated financial statements. It also requires consistency in the manner of reporting changes in the parents ownership interest and requires fair value measurement of any noncontrolling equity investment retained in a deconsolidation. The Company has applied the provisions of this statement prospectively, as required. The adoption of SFAS No. 160 did not have an effect on the consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (SFAS No. 141(R)). SFAS No. 141(R) retains the fundamental requirements in Statement 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (which Statement 141 called the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. In general, the statement 1) broadens the guidance of SFAS No. 141, extending its applicability to all events where one entity obtains control over one or more other businesses, 2) broadens the use of fair value measurements used to recognize the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, 3) changes the accounting for acquisition related fees and restructuring costs incurred in connection with an acquisition, and 4) increases required disclosures. The Company has applied the provisions of this statement prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after January 1, 2009 and the adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) did not have an effect on the consolidated financial statements.
In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 157-1, Application of FASB Statement No. 157 to FASB Statement No. 13 and Other Accounting Pronouncements that Address Fair Value Measurements for Purposes of Lease Classification or Measurement under Statement 13, and FSP FAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157. These FSPs:
9
· exclude certain leasing transactions accounted for under SFAS No. 13, Accounting for Leases, from the scope of SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. The exclusion does not apply to fair value measurements of assets and liabilities recorded as a result of a lease transaction but measured pursuant to other pronouncements within the scope of SFAS No. 157.
· permit the deferral of the effective date in SFAS No. 157 for one year for certain nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually).
FSP FAS 157-1 was effective upon the initial adoption of SFAS No. 157 which was adopted during the first quarter of 2008. FSP FAS 157-2 was effective February 12, 2008. The Company adopted the provisions of FSP 157-1 and 157-2 by utilizing the deferral in the first quarter of 2008. The Company has applied the provisions of FSP FAS 157-2 as required in the first quarter of 2009. The adoption of FSP FAS 157-2 did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly. FSP SFAS 157-4 affirms that the objective of fair value when the market for an asset is not active is the price that would be received to sell the asset in an orderly transaction, and includes additional factors for determining whether there has been a significant decrease in market activity for an asset when the market for that asset is not active. FSP SFAS 157-4 requires an entity to base its conclusion about whether a transaction was not orderly on the weight of the evidence. The Company adopted FSP 157-4 in the second quarter of 2009 and the adoption of this FSP did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133. SFAS No. 161 amends and expands the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 133 with the intent to provide users of financial statements with an enhanced understanding of: 1) How and why an entity uses derivative instruments; 2) How derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations and 3) How derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entitys financial position, financial performance and cash flows. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The Company has no derivatives and the adoption of SFAS 161 did not have an effect on the consolidated financial statements.
In May 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Standards (SFAS) No. 165, Subsequent Events. Statement 165 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. SFAS 165 provides guidance regarding the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements; the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements; and the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. The Company adopted SFAS 165 in the second quarter of 2009 and the adoption did not have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
Staff Interpretations
In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS No. 142-3, which amends the factors that must be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life over which to amortize the cost of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The FSP requires an entity that is estimating the useful life of a recognized intangible asset to consider its historical experience in renewing or extending similar arrangements or, in the absence of historical experience, must consider assumptions that market participants would use about renewal or extension that are both consistent with the assets highest and best use and adjusted for entity-specific factors under SFAS No. 142. The Company adopted the provisions of this FSP on January 1, 2009 and plans to apply the guidance for determining the useful life of a recognized intangible asset acquired hereafter.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments. FSP SFAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 amends SFAS 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, to require an entity to provide disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim financial information and amends Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting, to require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. Under FSP SFAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, a publicly traded company shall include disclosures about the fair value of its financial instruments whenever it issues summarized financial information for interim reporting periods. In addition, entities must disclose, in the body or in the accompanying notes of its
10
summarized financial information for interim reporting periods and in its financial statements for annual reporting periods, the fair value of all financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value, whether recognized or not recognized in the statement of financial position, as required by SFAS 107. The Company adopted this FSP in the second quarter of 2009.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS 115-2 and SFAS 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments. FSP SFAS 115-2 and SFAS 124-2 (i) changes existing guidance for determining whether an impairment is other than temporary to debt securities and (ii) replaces the existing requirement that the entitys management assert it has both the intent and ability to hold an impaired security until recovery with a requirement that management assert: (a) it does not have the intent to sell the security; and (b) it is more likely than not it will not have to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis. Under FSP SFAS 115-2 and SFAS 124-2, declines in the fair value of held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities below their cost that are deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses to the extent the impairment is related to credit losses. The amount of the impairment related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income. The Company adopted this FSP in the second quarter of 2009 and the adoption of this FSP did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
Emerging Issues Task Force
In June 2007, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) issued Issue 06-11 Accounting for Income Tax Benefits of Dividends on Share-Based Payment Awards. The guidance in EITF Issue 06-11 addresses how an employer should account for the income tax benefits related to dividend or dividend equivalent payments made to employees holding certain share-based payment awards. Entities are required to recognize tax benefits realized from dividend or dividend equivalents paid to employees for certain share-based payment awards as an increase to additional paid-in capital and include such amounts in the pool of excess tax benefits available to absorb future tax deficiencies on share-based payment awards. The Company adopted the provisions of EITF Issue 06-11 as of January 1, 2008. The effect on the consolidated results of operations, cash flow and financial position is immaterial.
In June 2008, the FASB issued FSP EITF 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities, to clarify that all outstanding unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents, whether paid or unpaid, are participating securities. An entity must include participating securities in its calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) pursuant to the two-class method, as described in FASB Statement 128, Earnings per Share. The Company has periodically issued share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends. The Company adopted FSP EITF 03-6-1 effective January 1, 2009 and the adoption of this accounting guidance did not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements or EPS.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
Statements of Financial Accounting Standards
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets, SFAS 166 is a revision to SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, and requires more information about transfers of financial assets, including securitization transactions, and where entities have continuing exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. It eliminates the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity, changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets, and requires additional disclosures. SFAS 166 is effective January 1, 2010, for a calendar year-end entity, with early application not being permitted. Adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R). SFAS 167 changes how a reporting entity determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. The determination of whether a reporting entity is required to consolidate another entity is based on, among other things, the other entitys purpose and design and the reporting entitys ability to direct the activities of the other entity that most significantly impact the other entitys economic performance. SFAS 167 is effective January 1, 2010, for a calendar year-end entity, with early application not being permitted. Adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162. SFAS 168 establishes the Codification as the single source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles in addition to the rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws. Statement 168 and the Codification are effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. When effective, the Codification
11
will supersede all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. As required, the Company plans to adopt SFAS 168 in the third quarter of 2009 and does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Staff Interpretations
In December 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 132R-1, Employers Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets. The FASB issued the FSP, which amends FASB Statement 132R, Employers Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits, in order to provide adequate transparency about the types of assets and associated risks in employers postretirement plans. Disclosures are designed to provide an understanding of how investment decisions are made: the major categories of plan assets; the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of plan assets; the effect of fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs on changes in plan assets for the period; and significant concentrations of risk within plan assets The disclosures about plan assets required by this FSP are required to be provided for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009, with no restatement required for earlier periods that are presented for comparative purposes, upon initial application. Earlier application of the provisions of this FSP is permitted. The Company is currently in the process of determining the additional disclosures required upon the adoption of this FSP.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS 141R-1, Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies. FSP SFAS 141R-1 amends the guidance in SFAS 141R to require that assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from contingencies be recognized at fair value if fair value can be reasonably estimated. If fair value of such an asset or liability cannot be reasonably estimated, the asset or liability would generally be recognized in accordance with SFAS 5, Accounting for Contingencies, and FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 14, Reasonable Estimation of the Amount of a Loss. FSP SFAS 141R-1 removes subsequent accounting guidance for assets and liabilities arising from contingencies from SFAS 141R and requires entities to develop a systematic and rational basis for subsequently measuring and accounting for assets and liabilities arising from contingencies. FSP SFAS 141R-1 eliminates the requirement to disclose an estimate of the range of outcomes of recognized contingencies at the acquisition date. For unrecognized contingencies, entities are required to include only the disclosures required by SFAS 5. FSP SFAS 141R-1 is effective for assets or liabilities arising from contingencies the Company acquires in business combinations occurring after January 1, 2009.
There were various other accounting standards and interpretations issued during 2008 or 2009 to July 31, 2009, none of which are expected to have a material impact on the Companys financial position, operations or cash flows.
NOTE 3. ACQUISITIONS
Acquisition of HomeTeam Pest Defense:
On April 3, 2008, the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Centex Home Services, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company, HomeTeam Pest Defense, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and HomeTeam Pest Defense, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, related to the business of providing termite and pest control services to homebuilders, businesses and homeowners.

Acquisition of Crane Pest Control:
The Company completed the acquisition of Crane Pest Control, Inc. effective December 31, 2008. Crane Pest Control was established in 1930 in San Francisco, California. The Company had annual revenues of over $10 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 and is a leading provider of advanced pest management, serving northern California and the Reno/Tahoe basin. Crane Pest Controls primary service is commercial pest control and its existing business complements the services that Rollins offers through its subsidiary, Orkin.
NOTE 4. DEBT
On March 28, 2008, the Company entered into a Revolving Credit Agreement with SunTrust Bank and Bank of America, N.A. for an unsecured line of credit of up to $175 million, which includes a $75 million letter of credit subfacility, and a $10 million swingline subfacility. As of June 30, 2009, borrowings of $55.0 million were outstanding under the line of credit and no borrowings were outstanding under the swingline subfacility. The Company maintains approximately $35.2 million in letters of credit, which reduces its borrowing capacity under the credit facility. These letters of credit are required by the Companys fronting insurance companies and/or certain states, due to the Companys self-insured status, to secure various workers compensation and casualty insurance contracts, although the Company believes that it has adequate liquid assets, funding sources and insurance accruals to accommodate such claims. The Revolving Credit Agreement is guaranteed by certain of Rollins domestic subsidiaries. The maturity date of the Credit Agreement is March 27, 2013. Outstanding balances of individual tranches under the Credit Agreement currently mature within twelve months. Revolving loans under the Revolving Credit Agreement bear interest at one of the following two rates, at the Companys election:
· the Base Rate, which is the greater of SunTrust Banks prime rate for the day of the borrowing or a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus .50%; or
· with respect to any Eurodollar borrowings, Adjusted LIBOR (which equals LIBOR as increased to account for the maximum reserve percentages established by the U.S. Federal Reserve) plus an additional amount, which varies between .50% and .75%, based upon Rollins then-current debt-to-EBITDA ratio. As of June 30, 2009, the additional rate allocated was 0.50%.
As of June 30, 2009, the effective interest rate on the outstanding borrowing under the line of credit was 1.16%. The Revolving Credit Agreement contains customary terms and conditions, including, without limitation, certain financial covenants including covenants restricting the Companys ability to incur certain indebtedness or liens, or to merge or consolidate with or sell substantially all of its assets to another entity. Further, the Revolving Credit Agreement contains
13
financial covenants restricting the Companys ability to permit the ratio of the Companys consolidated debt to EBITDA to exceed 2.5 to 1.
The Company remained in compliance with applicable debt covenants at June 30, 2009 and expects to maintain compliance throughout 2009.
NOTE 5. EARNINGS PER SHARE
In accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share (EPS), the Company presents basic EPS and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is computed on the basis of weighted-average shares outstanding. Diluted EPS is computed on the basis of weighted-average shares outstanding plus common stock options outstanding during the period, which, if exercised, would have a dilutive effect on EPS. A reconciliation of the number of weighted-average shares used in computing basic and diluted EPS is as follows:

This authorization enables the Company to continue the purchase of Rollins, Inc. common stock when appropriate, which is an important benefit, resulting from the Companys strong cash flows. The stock buy-back program has no expiration date.

NOTE 8. CONTINGENCIES
In the normal course of business, Orkin, one of the Companys subsidiaries, is a defendant in a number of lawsuits or arbitrations, which allege that plaintiffs have been damaged as a result of the rendering of services by Orkin. Orkin is actively contesting these actions. Some lawsuits have been filed (John Maciel v. Orkin, Inc., et al.; Ronald and Ileana Krzyzanowsky et al. v. Orkin Exterminating Company, Inc. and Rollins, Inc.; and Roy Sheppard et al. v. Orkin Exterminating Company, Inc. and Rollins, Inc.) in which the plaintiffs are seeking certification of a class. The cases originate in California and Arkansas. The Maciel lawsuit, a wage and hour related matter, was filed in the Superior Court of Los Angeles County, California and has not been scheduled for a class certification hearing. The Krzyzanowsky lawsuit, a termite service related matter, was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California and has not been scheduled for a class certification hearing. The Sheppard lawsuit, a termite service related matter, was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas. In June 2009, the Court granted Orkins Motion for Summary Judgment and dismissed the Sheppard case. The Company believes these matters to be without merit and intends to vigorously contest certification and defend itself through trial or arbitration, if necessary. The Company does not believe that any pending claim, proceeding or litigation, either alone or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial position; however, it is possible that an unfavorable outcome of some or all of the matters, however unlikely, could result in a charge that might be material to the results of an individual quarter.
Orkin is involved in certain environmental matters primarily arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the Companys liability under any of these matters would not and did not materially affect its financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. Environmental remediation is reported on a non-discounted basis.

NOTE 9. STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY
During the second quarter ended June 30, 2009, the Company repurchased 700,400 shares of its $1 par value common stock at a weighted average price of $16.90 per share with a total of 1,303,800 shares repurchased during the six months ended June 30, 2009 at a weighted average of $16.11 per share. In addition, during the second quarter ended June 30, 2009, approximately 34,000 shares of common stock were issued upon exercise of stock options by employees; in total for the six months ended June 30, 2009, approximately 71, 000 shares of common stock were issued upon exercise of stock options by employees. In total, 3.3 million additional shares may be purchased under its share repurchase program. Rollins, Inc. has had a buyback program in place for a number of years and has routinely purchased shares when it felt the opportunity was desirable. The Board authorized the purchase of 5.0 million additional shares of the Companys common stock in October 2008. This authorization enables the Company to continue the purchase of Rollins, Inc. common stock when appropriate, which is an important benefit, resulting from the Companys strong cash flows. The stock buy-back program has no expiration date.
Stock options, time lapse restricted shares (TLRSs) and restricted stock units have been issued to officers and other management employees under the Companys Employee Stock Incentive Plans. The stock options generally vest over a five-year period and expire ten years from the issuance date.
TLRSs provide for the issuance of a share of the Companys Common Stock at no cost to the holder and generally vest after a certain stipulated number of years from the grant date, depending on the terms of the issue. The Company issued TLRSs that vest over ten years prior to 2004. TLRSs issued 2004 and later vest in 20 percent increments starting with the second anniversary of the grant, over six years from the date of grant. During these years, grantees receive all dividends declared and retain voting rights for the granted shares. The agreements under which the restricted stock is issued provide that shares awarded may not be sold or otherwise transferred until restrictions established under the plans have lapsed.
During the second quarter ended June 30, 2009, approximately 34,000 shares of common stock were issued upon exercise of stock options by employees with approximately 55,000 shares of common stock issued upon exercise of stock options by employees for the quarter ended June 30, 2008. In total for the six months ended June 30, 2009, approximately 71, 000 shares of common stock were issued upon exercise of stock options by employees and approximately 193,000 shares of common stock issued upon exercise of stock options by employees for the six months ended June 30, 2008.
The Companys only remaining options outstanding at June 30, 2009 are the grants issued during the first quarter of 2003 which expire in 2013. The Company did not grant any stock options in any years following the 2003 grants.
The Company issues new shares from its authorized but unissued share pool. At June 30, 2009 approximately 4.4 million shares of the Companys common stock were reserved for issuance.

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value (the difference between the Companys closing stock price on the last trading day of the second quarter ended June 30, 2009 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options on June 30, 2009. The amount of aggregate intrinsic value will change based on the fair market value of the Companys stock.
The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised during the periods ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008 was $0.8 million and $2.3 million, respectively. Exercise of options through the second quarter ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 resulted in cash receipts of $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively. The Company recognized a tax benefit of approximately $93,000 during the quarter ended June 30, 2009 while recognizing a tax benefit of approximately $60,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 related to the exercise of employee stock options, which has been recorded as an increase to additional paid-in capital.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
On July 28, 2009, Rollins, Inc. reported its 13th consecutive quarter of improved earnings of $25.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, as compared to $22.7 million for the prior year quarter, a 12.1% improvement. Revenues increased slightly to $284.6 million for the quarter while earnings for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 were $0.26 per diluted share, a 13.0% improvement over the $0.23 per diluted share reported the prior year quarter.
Rollins continues to be financially solid generating $64.1 million in cash from operations year to date. The Company has paid back, as of June 30, 2009, $35.0 million of the $90.0 million borrowed in April 2008 to finance the HomeTeam Pest Defense acquisition. In addition, the Company repurchased 700,400 shares of common stock at a weighted price of $16.90 per share during the second quarter bringing the total number of shares repurchased year-to date 1,303,800 at a weighted average of $16.11. In total, approximately 3.3 million shares may be repurchased under the Companys share purchase program.
The Board of Directors, at its quarterly meeting on January 27, 2009, approved a 12% increase in the Companys quarterly dividend. In addition, the Company declared its regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.07 per share, which marked the seventh consecutive year the Board has increased its dividend a minimum of 12% or greater.
In 1964, Rollins acquired Orkin. At that time Rollins had annual revenues of $9.0 million and Orkin had annual revenues of $34.0 million. For 2008 Rollins, Inc. reported revenues of over $1.0 billion dollars. With acquisitions being one of Rollins growth initiatives, the Company has become more than Orkin during these past 10 years. Rollins has become a family of leading pest control companies providing commercial and residential pest control services both domestically and internationally. In 1999, the Company acquired three businesses, Prism, PCO Services and REDD. Rollins later completed the acquisitions of Western Pest Services in 2004, the Industrial Fumigant Company in 2005 and HomeTeam Pest Defense and Crane Pest Control in 2008.

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2009 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2008
Revenues for the second quarter ended June 30, 2009 increased slightly to $284.6 million compared to $284.5 for the quarter ended June 30, 2008. The Company was negatively impacted by the change in the foreign currency exchange rate and favorably impacted by the Crane acquisition which was completed on December 31, 2008. The drop in the value of the Canadian dollar negatively impacted the Companys revenues by approximately $3.0 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2009 while Crane Pest Control contributed $2.7 million for the same quarter, a net unfavorable impact on total revenues of $0.3 million or 1/10 of 1%. Foreign operations accounted for approximately 7% and approximately 8% of total revenues during the second quarter of 2009 and 2008, respectively.
19
Commercial pest control continues to be the largest and fastest growing part of Rollins business. Commercial pest control represents 40% of the Companys revenues during the second quarter ended June 30, 2008 and grew 2.4% for the quarter compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2008. The commercial business continues to perform well given the current economic conditions.
Residential pest control service which represents approximately 39% of Rollins business declined 1.8% during the quarter ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008. Termite service revenue, which was nearly 21% of Rollins business for the second quarter ended June 30, 2009, remained flat compared to the same period in 2008.
The revenues of the Company are affected by the seasonal nature of the Companys pest and termite control services. The increase in pest pressure and activity, as well as 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 Companys revenue as evidenced by the following chart.

Cost of Services provided for the second quarter ended June 30, 2009 decreased $4.4 million or 3.0%, compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2008. Gross margin for the quarter increased to 50.2% for the first quarter versus 48.7% in the prior year. Margin improved due primarily to $3.4 million dollar reduction in fleet cost due to lower cost of fuels and reduced number of vehicles. Proactive expense management led to improvements in service technician productivity reduced cost of risk and travel expenses, while material and supply cost increased slightly.
Depreciation and Amortization expenses for the second quarter ended June 30, 2009 increased to $9.4 million, an increase of 7.9 % or $0.7 million versus the prior year second quarter due to $0.6 increase in depreciation, half of which came from acquisitions.
Sales, General and Administrative expenses for the second quarter ended June 30, 2009 decreased $0.2 million or 0.2%, to 32.2% of revenues, decreasing from 32.3% for the second quarter ended June 30, 2008. Savings in fuel, travel and cost of risk were nearly offset by increase in administrate and sales salaries, as we expanded staffing in our national sales and service call center, higher stock based compensation and personnel related costs, primarily pension costs.
Interest (Income)/Expense for the second quarter ended June 30, 2009 was $0.3 million expense, a decrease of $0.1 million or 34.1% from $0.4 million income for the second quarter ended June 30, 2008 due to interest on outstanding debt related to the April 2008 acquisition of HomeTeam Pest Defense.
Income Taxes for the second quarter ended June 30, 2009 increased to $16.0 million, a 9.9% increase from $14.6 million reported second quarter 2008, and reflects increased pre-tax income over the prior year period. The effective tax rate was 38.6% for the second quarter ended June 30, 2009 versus 39.1% for the second quarter ended June 30, 2008 primarily due to differences in state tax rates.
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2009 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2008
Revenues for the six month period ended June 30, 2009, increased to $527.5 million compared to $494.6 for the period ended June 30, 2008. The Company was negatively impacted by the change in the Canadian foreign currency exchange rate and favorably impacted by the HomeTeam acquisition of April 2008 and Crane acquisition of December 31, 2008.
20
Cost of services provided for the six months ended June 30, 2009, increased $11.0 million, or 4.3% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008. Gross margins year-to-date increased to 49.4 % from 48.2% in the prior year. Margins improved due to lower cost of fuel and improved productivity.
Depreciation and amortization expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2009 increased $3.5 million to $18.8 million, an increase of 22.8%. This was due primarily to amortization of intangibles which increased $2.4 million as a result of recognizing a full six months of amortization on acquisitions this year for HomeTeam acquired April 2008, and Crane acquired December 31, 2008.
Sales, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2009 increased $10.3 million, or 6.3% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008 representing 32.9% of revenues compared to 33.1% of revenues in the prior year period. The increase in total dollars reflects having a full year of HomeTeams expenses in 2009 and only three months as of June 30, 2008.
Interest (Income)/Expense for the period ended June 30, 2009 was $0.7 million expense, a decrease of $1.0 million from $0.3 million income for the period ended June 30, 2008 due to interest on outstanding debt related to the April 2008 acquisition of HomeTeam Pest Defense.
Income Taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2009 increased to $26.0 million, a 10.6% increase from $23.5 million reported for the same period in 2008, and reflect increased pre-tax income over the prior year period. The effective tax rate was 38.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2009 versus 39.1% for the six month ended June 30, 2008 primarily due to differences in state tax rates.
Critical Accounting Policies
The Company views its critical accounting policies to be those policies that are very important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations, and that require managements most difficult, complex or subjective judgments. The circumstances that make these judgments difficult or complex relate to the need for management to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. We believe our critical accounting policies to be as follows:
Accrual for Termite ContractsThe Company maintains an accrual for termite claims representing the estimated costs of reapplications, repairs and associated labor and chemicals, settlements, awards and other costs relative to termite control services. Factors that may impact future cost include chemical life expectancy and government regulation. It is significant that the actual number of claims has decreased in recent years due to changes in the Companys business practices. However, it is not possible to precisely predict future significant claims. Positive changes to our business practices include revisions made to our contracts, more effective treatment methods, more effective termiticides, and expanding training.
Accrued InsuranceThe Company self-insures, up to specified limits, certain risks related to general liability, workers compensation and vehicle liability. The estimated costs of existing and future claims under the self-insurance program are accrued based upon historical trends as incidents occur, whether reported or unreported (although actual settlement of the claims may not be made until future periods) and may be subsequently revised based on developments relating to such claims. The Company contracts an independent third party actuary on an annual basis to provide the Company an estimated liability based upon historical claims information. The actuarial study is a major consideration, along with managements knowledge of changes in business practices and existing claims compared to current balances. The reserve is established based on all these factors. Due to the uncertainty associated with the estimation of future loss and expense payments and inherent limitations of the data, actual developments may vary from the Companys projections. This is particularly true since critical assumptions regarding the parameters used to develop reserve estimates are largely based upon judgment. Therefore, changes in estimates may be material. Managements judgment is inherently subjective and a number of factors are outside managements knowledge and control. Additionally, historical information is not always an accurate indication of future events. It should be noted that the number of claims have been decreasing due to the Companys proactive risk management to develop and maintain ongoing programs. Initiatives that have been implemented include pre-employment screening and an annual motor vehicle report required on all its drivers, post-offer physicals for new employees, and pre-hire, random and post-accident drug testing. The Company has improved the time required to report a claim by utilizing a Red Alert program that provides serious accident assessment twenty four hours a day and seven days a week and has instituted a modified duty program that enables employees to go back to work on a limited-duty basis.
Revenue RecognitionThe Companys revenue recognition policies are designed to recognize revenues at the time services are performed. For certain revenue types, because of the timing of billing and the receipt of cash versus the timing of performing services, certain accounting estimates are utilized. Residential and commercial pest control services are primarily recurring in nature on a monthly or bi-monthly basis, while certain types of commercial customers may receive multiple
21
treatments within a given month. In general, pest control customers sign an initial one-year contract, and revenues are recognized at the time services are performed. For pest control customers, the Company offers a discount for those customers who prepay for a full year of services. The Company defers recognition of these advance payments and recognizes the revenue as the services are rendered. The Company classifies the discounts related to the advance payments as a reduction in revenues. Termite baiting revenues are recognized based on the delivery of the individual units of accounting. At the inception of a new baiting services contract upon quality control review of the installation, the Company recognizes revenue for the delivery of the monitoring stations, initial directed liquid termiticide treatment and installation of the monitoring services. The amount deferred is the fair value of monitoring services to be rendered after the initial service. Fair values are generally established based on the prices charged when sold separately by the Company. The amount deferred for the undelivered monitoring element is then recognized as income on a straight-line basis over the remaining contract term, which results in recognition of revenue in a pattern that approximates the timing of performing monitoring visits. Baiting renewal revenue is deferred and recognized over the annual contract period on a straight-line basis that approximates the timing of performing the required monitoring visits.
Revenue received for traditional termite treatments is deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the remaining contract term; and, the cost of reinspections, reapplications and repairs and associated labor and chemicals are expensed as incurred. For outstanding claims, an estimate is made of the costs to be incurred (including legal costs) based upon current factors and historical information. The performance of reinspections tends to be close to the contract renewal date and, while reapplications and repairs involve an insubstantial number of the contracts, these costs are incurred over the contract term. As the revenue is being deferred, the future cost of reinspections, reapplications and repairs and associated labor and chemicals applicable to the deferred revenue are expensed as incurred. The Company accrues for noticed claims. The costs of providing termite services upon renewal are compared to the expected revenue to be received and a provision is made for any expected losses.
As the revenue is being deferred, the future cost of reinspections, reapplications and repairs and associated labor and chemicals applicable to the deferred revenue are expensed as incurred and no longer accrued. The Company will continue to accrue for noticed claims.
Contingency AccrualsThe Company is a party to legal proceedings with respect to matters in the ordinary course of business. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies, the Company estimates and accrues for its liability and costs associated with the litigation. Estimates and accruals are determined in consultation with outside counsel. Because it is not possible to accurately predict the ultimate result of the litigation, judgments concerning accruals for liabilities and costs associated with litigation are inherently uncertain and actual liability may vary from amounts estimated or accrued. However, in the opinion of management, the outcome of the litigation will not have a material adverse impact on the Companys financial condition or results of operations.
Defined benefit pension plan In 2002, the Company ceased all future benefit accruals under the defined benefit plan, although the Company remains obligated to provide employees benefits earned through March 2002. The Company accounts for the defined benefit plan in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 158, Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans An Amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R), and engages an outside actuary to calculate its obligations and costs. With the assistance of the actuary, the Company evaluates the significant assumptions used on a periodic basis including the estimated future return on plan assets, the discount rate, and other factors, and makes adjustments to these liabilities as necessary.
The Company chooses an expected rate of return on plan assets based on historical results for similar allocations among asset classes, the investments strategy, and the views of our investment adviser. Differences between the expected long-term return on plan assets and the actual return are amortized over future years. Therefore, the net deferral of past asset gains (losses) ultimately affects future pension expense. The Companys assumption for the expected return on plan assets for 2009 is seven percent compared to eight percent in 2008.
The discount rate reflects the current rate at which the pension liabilities could be effectively settled at the end of the year. In estimating this rate, the Company utilizes a yield curve approach. The approach utilizes an economic model whereby the Companys expected benefit payments over the life of the plan is forecasted and then compared to a portfolio of corporate bonds that will mature at the same time that the benefit payments are due in any given year. The economic model then calculates the one discount rate to apply to all benefit payments over the life of the plan which will result in the same total lump sum as the payments from the corporate bonds. A lower discount rate increases the present value of benefit obligations. The discount rate was 6.81 percent as of December 31, 2008 compared to 6.25 percent in 2007 and 5.50 percent in 2006. A lower discount rate increases the value of benefit obligation.
22
As of December 31, 2008, the defined benefit plan was under-funded by $20.4 million and the recorded change within accumulated other comprehensive income decreased stockholders equity in 2008 by $42.0 million before tax.

The Company believes its current cash and cash equivalents balances, future cash flows expected to be generated from operating activities and available borrowings under its $175.0 million credit facility will be sufficient to finance its current operations and obligations, and fund expansion of the business for the foreseeable future. The Companys operating activities generated net cash of $64.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared with cash provided by operating activities of $52.1 million for the same period in 2008.
The Company and management are considering making a contribution to its defined benefit retirement plan (the Plan) of $5.0 million during fiscal 2009. In the opinion of management, additional Plan contributions will not have a material effect on the Companys financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
The Company invested approximately $6.1 million in capital expenditures during the first six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $7.1 million during the same period in 2008, and expects to invest approximately $0.7 million for the remainder of 2009. Capital expenditures for the first six months consisted primarily of the purchase of equipment replacements and technology related projects. During the first six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company made expenditures for acquisitions totaling $3.0 million, compared to $135.8 million during the same period in 2008. Cash on hand and borrowings under a senior unsecured revolving credit facility primarily funded expenditures for acquisitions. A total of $14.0 million was paid in cash dividends ($0.14 per share) during the first six months of 2009, compared to $12.6 million or ($0.125 per share) during the same period in 2008. The Company repurchased 1.3 million shares during the first six months of 2009 of its $1 par value common stock at a weighted average price of $16.11. The capital expenditures and cash dividends were funded through existing cash balances, operating activities and borrowings under a senior unsecured revolving credit facility. The Company continues to seek new acquisitions.
To date the Company has paid back $35.0 million of the borrowed $90 million used to finance the HomeTeam acquisition. Also during the six month period ended June 30, 2009, the Company repurchased 700,400 shares of common stock at a weighted price of $16.90 per share during the second quarter bringing the total number of shares repurchased year-to date 1,303,800 at a weighted average of $16.11. In total, approximately 3.3 million shares may be repurchased under the Companys share purchase program.
Rollins balance sheet as of June 30, 2009, includes short-term unearned revenues of $95.4 million dollars, representing almost 9% of our annual revenue. This represents cash paid to the Company by its customers in advance of services that will be recognized over the next twelve months.
The Companys $22.6 million of total cash at June 30, 2009, includes approximately $6.1 million invested in various money market funds. The banking institutions that sponsor these money market funds have elected to participate in the Temporary Guarantee Program for U.S. Money Market Funds sponsored by the U.S. Treasury which guarantees the amount invested in these money market funds at September 19, 2008 and the Companys balance invested at that date was approximately $4.2 million. Currently this program ends on September 18, 2009. The remaining $16.5 million of cash at June 30, 2009 is primarily cash held at various banking institutions. Approximately $12.4 million is held in cash accounts at international bank institutions and the remaining $4.1 million is primarily held in non-interest-bearing accounts at various domestic banks. Late in 2008, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation approved a final rule to strengthen the agencys Temporary Liquidity
23
Guarantee Program. This program guarantees newly issued senior unsecured debt of banks, thrifts, and certain holding companies, and provides full coverage of non-interest bearing deposit transaction accounts. Under this program, participating institutions will be able to provide customers full coverage (above the current $250,000 level) on non-interest bearing accounts, which currently will be in effect until the end of calendar 2009. All of the domestic banks where our balances exceed $250,000 are participating in this program.
On March 28, 2008, the Company entered into a definitive Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of March 28, 2008 to acquire, through the purchase of assets, the business of HomeTeam Pest Defense, which provides termite and pest control services to homebuilders, businesses and homeowners. The aggregate amount paid was a combination of $47.7 million in cash on hand, as well as $90.0 million in borrowings from the below mentioned credit facility, totaling $137.7 million. The Company closed the purchase of the HomeTeam Pest Defense acquisition on April 3, 2008. Through the period ended June 30, 2009, the Company paid back, $35.0 million of the $90.0 million that was borrowed to fund the HomeTeam acquisition.
On March 28, 2008, the Company entered into a Revolving Credit Agreement with SunTrust Bank and Bank of America, N.A. for an unsecured line of credit of up to $175 million, which includes a $75 million letter of credit subfacility, and a $10 million swingline subfacility. As of June 30, 2009, borrowings of $55.0 million were outstanding under the line of credit and no borrowings were outstanding under the swingline subfacility. The Company maintains approximately $35.2 million in letters of credit, which reduces its borrowing capacity under the credit facility. These letters of credit are required by the Companys fronting insurance companies and/or certain states, due to the Companys self-insured status, to secure various workers compensation and casualty insurance contracts, although the Company believes that it has adequate liquid assets, funding sources and insurance accruals to accommodate such claims. The Revolving Credit Agreement is guaranteed by certain of Rollins domestic subsidiaries. The maturity date of the Credit Agreement is March 27, 2013. Outstanding balances of individual tranches under the Credit Agreement currently mature in 2009. Revolving loans under the Revolving Credit Agreement bear interest at one of the following two rates, at the Companys election:
· the Base Rate, which is the greater of SunTrust Banks prime rate for the day of the borrowing or a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus .50%; or
· with respect to any Eurodollar borrowings, Adjusted LIBOR (which equals LIBOR as increased to account for the maximum reserve percentages established by the U.S. Federal Reserve) plus an additional amount, which varies between .50% and .75%, based upon Rollins then-current debt-to-EBITDA ratio. As of June 30, 2009, the additional rate allocated was 0.50%.
As of June 30, 2009, the effective interest rate on the outstanding borrowing under the line of credit was 1.16%. The Revolving Credit Agreement contains customary terms and conditions, including, without limitation, certain financial covenants including covenants restricting the Companys ability to incur certain indebtedness or liens, or to merge or consolidate with or sell substantially all of its assets to another entity. Further, the Revolving Credit Agreement contains financial covenants restricting the Companys ability to permit the ratio of the Companys consolidated debt to EBITDA to exceed 2.5 to 1.
The Company remained in compliance with applicable debt covenants at June 30, 2009 and expects to maintain compliance throughout 2009.
Litigation
Orkin, one of the Companys subsidiaries, is aggressively defending the following lawsuits in which the plaintiffs are seeking class certification: John Maciel v. Orkin, Inc., et al. (pending in the Superior Court of Los Angeles County, California); Ronald and Ileana Krzyzanowsky et al. v. Orkin Exterminating Company, Inc. and Rollins, Inc. (pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California); and Roy Sheppard et al. v. Orkin Exterminating Company, Inc. and Rollins, Inc. (pending in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas). In June 2009 in the Sheppard lawsuit, the Court granted Orkins Motion for Summary Judgment and dismissed the case. To date none of these matters has been scheduled for a class certification hearing. Other lawsuits against Orkin, and in some instances the Company, are also being vigorously defended. For further discussion, see Note 8 to the accompanying financial statements.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Statements of Financial Accounting Standards
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, including interim periods within that fiscal year. The Company has not elected the fair value option for any of its existing financial instruments as of December 31, 2008 and the Company has not determined whether or not it will elect this option for financial instruments it may acquire in the future.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statementsan amendment of ARB No. 51. SFAS 160 requires that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary be reported as equity and the amount of consolidated net income specifically attributable to the noncontrolling interest be identified in the consolidated financial statements. It also requires consistency in the manner of reporting changes in the parents ownership interest and requires fair value measurement of any noncontrolling equity investment retained in a deconsolidation. The Company has applied the provisions of this statement prospectively, as required. The adoption of SFAS No. 160 did not have an effect on the consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (SFAS No. 141(R)). SFAS No. 141(R) retains the fundamental requirements in Statement 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (which Statement 141 called the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. In general, the statement 1) broadens the guidance of SFAS No. 141, extending its applicability to all events where one entity obtains control over one or more other businesses, 2) broadens the use of fair value measurements used to recognize the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, 3) changes the accounting for acquisition related fees and restructuring costs incurred in connection with an acquisition, and 4) increases required disclosures. The Company has applied the provisions of this statement prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after January 1, 2009 and the adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) did not have an effect on the consolidated financial statements.
In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 157-1, Application of FASB Statement No. 157 to FASB Statement No. 13 and Other Accounting Pronouncements that Address Fair Value Measurements for Purposes of Lease Classification or Measurement under Statement 13, and FSP FAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157. These FSPs:
· exclude certain leasing transactions accounted for under SFAS No. 13, Accounting for Leases, from the scope of SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. The exclusion does not apply to fair value measurements of assets and liabilities recorded as a result of a lease transaction but measured pursuant to other pronouncements within the scope of SFAS No. 157.
· permit the deferral of the effective date in SFAS No. 157 for one year for certain nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually).
FSP FAS 157-1 was effective upon the initial adoption of SFAS No. 157 which was adopted during the first quarter of 2008. FSP FAS 157-2 was effective February 12, 2008. The Company adopted the provisions of FSP 157-1 and 157-2 by utilizing the deferral in the first quarter of 2008. The Company has applied the provisions of FSP FAS 157-2 as required in the first quarter of 2009. The adoption of FSP FAS 157-2 did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly. FSP SFAS 157-4 affirms that the objective of fair value when the market for an asset is not active is the price that would be received to sell the asset in an orderly transaction, and includes additional factors for determining whether there has been a significant decrease in market activity for an asset when the market for that asset is not active. FSP SFAS 157-4 requires an entity to base its conclusion about whether a transaction was not orderly on the weight of the evidence. The Company adopted FSP 157-4 in the second quarter of 2009 and the adoption of this FSP did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133. SFAS No. 161 amends and expands the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 133 with the intent to provide users of financial statements with an enhanced understanding of: 1) How and why an entity uses
25
derivative instruments; 2) How derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations and 3) How derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entitys financial position, financial performance and cash flows. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The Company has no derivatives and the adoption of SFAS 161 did not have an effect on the consolidated financial statements.
In May 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Standards (SFAS) No. 165, Subsequent Events. Statement 165 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. SFAS 165 provides guidance regarding the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements; the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements; and the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. The Company adopted SFAS 165 in the second quarter of 2009 and the adoption did not have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
Staff Interpretations
In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS No. 142-3, which amends the factors that must be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life over which to amortize the cost of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The FSP requires an entity that is estimating the useful life of a recognized intangible asset to consider its historical experience in renewing or extending similar arrangements or, in the absence of historical experience, must consider assumptions that market participants would use about renewal or extension that are both consistent with the assets highest and best use and adjusted for entity-specific factors under SFAS No. 142. The Company adopted the provisions of this FSP on January 1, 2009 and plans to apply the guidance for determining the useful life of a recognized intangible asset acquired hereafter.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments. FSP SFAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 amends SFAS 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, to require an entity to provide disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim financial information and amends Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting, to require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. Under FSP SFAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, a publicly traded company shall include disclosures about the fair value of its financial instruments whenever it issues summarized financial information for interim reporting periods. In addition, entities must disclose, in the body or in the accompanying notes of its summarized financial information for interim reporting periods and in its financial statements for annual reporting periods, the fair value of all financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value, whether recognized or not recognized in the statement of financial position, as required by SFAS 107. The Company adopted this FSP in the second quarter of 2009.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS 115-2 and SFAS 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments. FSP SFAS 115-2 and SFAS 124-2 (i) changes existing guidance for determining whether an impairment is other than temporary to debt securities and (ii) replaces the existing requirement that the entitys management assert it has both the intent and ability to hold an impaired security until recovery with a requirement that management assert: (a) it does not have the intent to sell the security; and (b) it is more likely than not it will not have to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis. Under FSP SFAS 115-2 and SFAS 124-2, declines in the fair value of held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities below their cost that are deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses to the extent the impairment is related to credit losses. The amount of the impairment related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income. The Company adopted this FSP in the second quarter of 2009 and the adoption of this FSP did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
Emerging Issues Task Force
In June 2007, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) issued Issue 06-11 Accounting for Income Tax Benefits of Dividends on Share-Based Payment Awards. The guidance in EITF Issue 06-11 addresses how an employer should account for the income tax benefits related to dividend or dividend equivalent payments made to employees holding certain share-based payment awards. Entities are required to recognize tax benefits realized from dividend or dividend equivalents paid to employees for certain share-based payment awards as an increase to additional paid-in capital and include such amounts in the pool of excess tax benefits available to absorb future tax deficiencies on share-based payment awards. The Company adopted the provisions of EITF Issue 06-11 as of January 1, 2008. The effect on the consolidated results of operations, cash flow and financial position is immaterial.
26
In June 2008, the FASB issued FSP EITF 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities, to clarify that all outstanding unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents, whether paid or unpaid, are participating securities. An entity must include participating securities in its calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) pursuant to the two-class method, as described in FASB Statement 128, Earnings per Share. The Company has periodically issued share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends. The Company adopted FSP EITF 03-6-1 effective January 1, 2009 and the adoption of this accounting guidance did not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements or EPS.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
Statements of Financial Accounting Standards
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets, SFAS 166 is a revision to SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, and requires more information about transfers of financial assets, including securitization transactions, and where entities have continuing exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. It eliminates the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity, changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets, and requires additional disclosures. SFAS 166 is effective January 1, 2010, for a calendar year-end entity, with early application not being permitted. Adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R). SFAS 167 changes how a reporting entity determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. The determination of whether a reporting entity is required to consolidate another entity is based on, among other things, the other entitys purpose and design and the reporting entitys ability to direct the activities of the other entity that most significantly impact the other entitys economic performance. SFAS 167 is effective January 1, 2010, for a calendar year-end entity, with early application not being permitted. Adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162. SFAS 168 establishes the Codification as the single source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles in addition to the rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws. Statement 168 and the Codification are effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. When effective, the Codification will supersede all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. As required, the Company plans to adopt SFAS 168 in the third quarter of 2009 and does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Staff Interpretations
In December 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 132R-1, Employers Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets. The FASB issued the FSP, which amends FASB Statement 132R, Employers Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits, in order to provide adequate transparency about the types of assets and associated risks in employers postretirement plans. Disclosures are designed to provide an understanding of how investment decisions are made: the major categories of plan assets; the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of plan assets; the effect of fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs on changes in plan assets for the period; and significant concentrations of risk within plan assets The disclosures about plan assets required by this FSP are required to be provided for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009, with no restatement required for earlier periods that are presented for comparative purposes, upon initial application. Earlier application of the provisions of this FSP is permitted. The Company is currently in the process of determining the additional disclosures required upon the adoption of this FSP.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS 141R-1, Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies. FSP SFAS 141R-1 amends the guidance in SFAS 141R to require that assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from contingencies be recognized at fair value if fair value can be reasonably estimated. If fair value of such an asset or liability cannot be reasonably estimated, the asset or liability would generally be recognized in accordance with SFAS 5, Accounting for Contingencies, and FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 14, Reasonable Estimation of the Amount of a Loss. FSP SFAS 141R-1 removes subsequent accounting guidance for assets and liabilities arising from contingencies from SFAS 141R and requires entities to develop a systematic and rational basis for subsequently measuring and accounting for assets and liabilities arising from contingencies. FSP SFAS 141R-1 eliminates the requirement to disclose an estimate of the range of outcomes of recognized contingencies at the acquisition date. For unrecognized contingencies, entities are required to include only the disclosures required by SFAS 5. FSP SFAS 141R-1 is
27
effective for assets or liabilities arising from contingencies the Company acquires in business combinations occurring after January 1, 2009.
There were various other accounting standards and interpretations issued during 2008 or to July 31, 2009, none of which are expected to have a material impact on the Companys financial position, operations or cash flows.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements include, without limitation, the Companys expectation to maintain compliance with debt covenants; the effect of the future adoption of recent accounting pronouncements on the Companys financial statements; statements regarding managements expectation regarding the effect of the ultimate resolution of pending legal actions on the Companys financial position, results of operation and liquidity; managements belief that future costs of the Company for environmental matters will not be material to the Companys financial condition, operating results, and liquidity; the Companys belief that its current cash and cash equivalent balances, future cash flows expected to be generated from operating activities and available borrowings will be sufficient to finance its current operations and obligations, and fund planned investments for expansion of the business for the foreseeable future; possible defined benefit retirement plan contributions and their effect on the Companys financial position, results of operations and liquidity; estimated 2009 capital expenditures; the Companys belief that it has adequate liquid assets, funding sources and insurance accruals to accommodate various workers compensation and casualty insurance contracts; and the Companys belief that interest rate exposure and foreign exchange rate risk will not have a material effect on the Companys results of operations going forward. 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 an adverse ruling against the Company in pending litigation; general economic conditions; market risk; changes in industry practices or technologies; the degree of success of the Companys termite process reforms and pest control selling and treatment methods; the Companys ability to identify and integrate potential acquisitions; climate and weather conditions; 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. A more detailed discussion of potential risks facing the Company can be found in the Companys Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 2008. The Company does not undertake to update its forward looking statements.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As of June 30, 2009, the Company maintained an investment portfolio (included in cash and cash equivalents) subject to short-term interest rate risk exposure. The Company is subject to interest rate risk exposure through borrowings on its $175 million credit facility. The Company is also exposed to market risks arising from changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company believes that this foreign exchange rate risk will not have a material effect upon the Companys results of operations going forward. There have been no material changes to the Companys market risk exposure since the end of fiscal year 2008.
ITEM 4. CONTROL AND PROCEDURES
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of June 30, 2009. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level such that the material information relating to Rollins, Inc., including our consolidated subsidiaries, and required to be included in our Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and was made known to them by others within those entities, particularly during the period when this report was being prepared.
In addition, except as noted in the following paragraph, managements quarterly evaluation identified no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the second quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. As of June 30, 2009 we did not identify any material weaknesses in our internal controls, and therefore no corrective actions were taken.

The Company acquired the HomeTeam Pest Defense business on April 3, 2008. Since the date of acquisition, the Company has been analyzing, evaluating, and implementing changes in HomeTeams procedures and controls to determine their effectiveness and to make them consistent with our internal controls and procedures. We have performed additional procedures to review accounting records and substantiate the financial information of HomeTeam included in this report. HomeTeams total revenues following the acquisition accounted for 12.2% of the Companys consolidated revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 6.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2008.
