ITEM 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

     On April 30, 2004, Rollins, Inc. (the "Purchaser")  acquired  substantially
all of the assets and assumed certain  liabilities of Western Pest Services (the
"Seller").  Neither Seller nor its principals  had any prior  relationship  with
Rollins  or its  affiliates.  The Seller was  engaged in the  provision  of pest
control  services  and the  Company  intends  to  continue  this  business.  The
acquisition  was made  pursuant to an Asset  Purchase  Agreement  (the  "Western
Agreement") dated March 8, 2004, between Rollins,  Inc. and Western  Industries,
Inc. and affiliates. The consideration for the assets and certain noncompetition
agreements (the "Purchase Price") was approximately $110.0 million. The Purchase
Price was funded with cash on hand,  the sale of property  located in Okeechobee
County,  Florida and a $15.0 million dollar senior  unsecured  revolving  credit
facility with Wachovia Bank NA.

     Pursuant to the Western Agreement, the Purchaser acquired substantially all
of the  Seller's  property  and  assets,  including  accounts  receivable,  real
property  leases,  seller  contracts,  governmental  authorizations,   data  and
records, intangible rights and property, insurance benefits. As described in the
Western  Agreement,  the Purchaser  assumed only  specified  liabilities  of the
Seller,   including   current  balance  sheet  liabilities  of  the  seller  and
obligations under disclosed assigned contracts.

     The Purchaser has engaged an  independent  valuation  firm to determine the
allocation of the purchase price to Goodwill and Intangibles.  At this time, the
Purchaser  anticipates  the Intangible  value to total a range between $50.0 and
$60.0 million.

     On April 30, 2004, in a transaction  ancillary to the Western Pest Services
acquisition,  the Purchaser acquired Residex Corporation ("Residex"),  a company
that distributes chemicals and other products to pest management  professionals,
pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Residex Agreement") dated March 8,
2004, between Rollins,  Inc. and Western Industries,  Inc., JBD Incorporated and
Residex Corporation.  Subsequently on April 30, 2004, the Purchaser sold Residex
to an industry distribution group. The amounts involved were not material and no
gain or loss was recognized on the transaction.
