                               CINTAS CORPORATION
              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)
                      (In thousands except per share data)

1.   The  consolidated  condensed  financial  statements  of Cintas  Corporation
     included  herein have been prepared by Cintas,  without audit,  pursuant to
     the  rules and  regulations  of the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission.
     Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
     statements  prepared  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting
     principles  have been  condensed  or  omitted  pursuant  to such  rules and
     regulations.   While  we  believe  that  the   disclosures  are  adequately
     presented,  it is suggested  that these  consolidated  condensed  financial
     statements be read in conjunction  with the financial  statements and notes
     included in our most recent annual report for the fiscal year ended May 31,
     1999. A summary of our significant accounting policies is presented on page
     27 of our most recent annual report. There have been no material changes in
     the accounting policies followed by Cintas during fiscal year 2000. Certain
     fiscal 1999  amounts have been  reclassified  to conform to the fiscal 2000
     presentation.

2.   Interim   results  are  subject  to  variations  and  are  not  necessarily
     indicative  of the results of  operations  for a full fiscal  year.  In the
     opinion of management,  adjustments  (which  include only normal  recurring
     adjustments)  necessary for a fair  statement of the results of the interim
     periods shown have been made.

3.   In March 1999,  Cintas acquired  Unitog  Company,  a rental and direct sale
     uniform  provider.  The  acquisition was accounted for using the pooling of
     interests method of accounting. At that time, the accompanying consolidated
     financial  statements  were restated to include the financial  position and
     operating results of Unitog for all periods.

4.   The  following  table  represents  a  reconciliation  of the shares used to
     calculate basic and diluted earnings per share for the respective years:

6.   Cintas classifies its businesses into two operating  segments:  Rentals and
     Other  Services.  The Rental  operating  segment  designs and  manufactures
     corporate  identity uniforms which it rents, along with other items, to its
     customers.  The Other  Services  operating  segment  involves  the  design,
     manufacture  and direct sale of uniforms  to its  customers  as well as the
     sale  of  ancillary  services  including  sanitation  supplies,  first  aid
     products and services and  cleanroom  supplies.  All of these  services are
     provided throughout the United States and Canada to businesses of all types
     - from small service and manufacturing companies to major corporations that
     employ  thousands  of  people.  Information  as to  the  operations  of our
     different  business  segments  is set forth  based on the  distribution  of
     products  and  services  offered.  Cintas  evaluates  performance  based on
     several  factors  of which the  primary  financial  measures  are  business
     segment revenue and income before income taxes.

                               CINTAS CORPORATION
                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Total revenues increased 7% for the three and six months ended November 30, over
the same periods in fiscal 1999. Net rental  revenue  increased 9% for the three
and six months  ended  November  30, over the same  periods in the prior  fiscal
year,  due primarily to growth in the customer  base.  This revenue  growth came
despite the  disposition  of linen volume  occurring from September 1998 through
November 1999 and the high rate of lost business  occurring at Unitog operations
prior to the merger.  For the six months ended  November 30, 1999  revenues from
other services increased 2% over the same period in fiscal 1999,  principally as
a result of the increased sales of first aid supplies.

Net income increased 9% and 14% respectively, for the three and six months ended
November 30, over the same periods in fiscal 1999.  This  increase in net income
occurred even though income was  recognized in the second quarter of fiscal 1999
by Unitog  as a result of a $2.1  million  pre-tax  gain on the sale of  certain
linen facilities and a $2.0 million breach of contract  settlement with a former
customer.  Diluted earnings per share increased 10% and 14%,  respectively,  for
the three and six months ended November 30 over the same periods in fiscal 1999.

Net interest expense  (interest expense less interest income) was $2,822,000 and
$5,801,000,  respectively,  for the  three  and six  months  ended  November  30
compared to $3,255,000 and $6,399,000, respectively, for the same periods in the
prior  fiscal year.  Net interest  expense has  decreased  primarily  due to the
repayment of long-term debt. Cintas' effective tax rate was approximately 38% in
both periods of fiscal 2000 as well as fiscal 1999.

Cash,  cash  equivalents  and marketable  securities  increased by $6 million at
November  30,  1999 from May 31,  1999  primarily  due to strong  cash flow from
operations.  These  sources  will be used to  finance  future  acquisitions  and
capital expenditures.

Net property,  plant and equipment increased by $42 million from May 31, 1999 to
November 30, 1999. At the end of the second  quarter of fiscal 2000, we had nine
uniform rental facilities in various stages of construction.

The integration of Unitog facilities and corporate  functions are progressing as
planned.  Activity in the second  quarter of fiscal 2000  related to the Special
Charge accrual established in fiscal 1999 for the Unitog integration amounted to
$2.9 million,  primarily related to severance payments. The remaining balance at
the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2000 is $2.0 million.

Financial Condition

At  November  30,  1999,  we had $94  million  in  cash,  cash  equivalents  and
marketable  securities.  We  believe  that  our  current  cash  position,  funds
anticipated  to be  generated  from  operations  and the strength of our banking
relationships  are sufficient to meet our  anticipated  operational  and capital
needs requirements.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

In its normal operations,  we have market risk exposure to interest rates. There
has been no  significant  change in our  exposure  to these risks which has been
previously disclosed.

Impact of Year 2000

We have  completed  the changes  required  to ensure  that all of our  software,
hardware and operating equipment will function properly with respect to dates in
the year 2000 and  thereafter.  The total cost of these changes was not material
and has been  expensed as  incurred.  We incurred  the majority of our Year 2000
costs during fiscal 1998, with substantially all of the remaining costs expensed
in fiscal 1999. As of the date of this filing,  our ability to  manufacture  and
distribute  products and services has not been  adversely  affected by Year 2000
issues.

Forward-Looking Statements

The Private  Securities  Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides safe harbor from
civil   litigation  for   forward-looking   statements.   This  report  contains
forward-looking  statements  that  reflect  our views as to future  performance.
These  statements are based on our expectations  concerning  future events which
involve a number of risks and uncertainties such as the performance and costs of
integration of  acquisitions,  fluctuations in costs of materials and labor, the
outcome of pending environmental matters and Year 2000 issues.
