1.    Basis of Presentation

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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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, 2002. A summary of our significant accounting policies is presented on page 28 of our most recent annual report. There have been no material changes in the accounting policies followed by Cintas during the fiscal year.

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.

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation.

2.    New Accounting Standard

In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 (SFAS 144), Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. SFAS 144 addresses significant issues relating to the implementation of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 (SFAS 121), Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of, and develops a single accounting model, based on the framework established in SFAS 121 for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, whether such assets are or are not deemed to be a business. SFAS 144 also modifies the accounting and disclosure rules for discontinued operations. Effective June 1, 2002, Cintas adopted SFAS 144 and it did not have a material effect on the financial statements.

5.    Derivatives and Hedging Activities

Cintas formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. Cintas’ hedging activities are transacted only with highly-rated institutions, reducing the exposure to credit risk in the event of nonperformance.

Cintas uses derivatives for both cash flow hedging and fair value hedging purposes. For derivative instruments that hedge the exposure of variability in short-term interest rates, designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the net gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. For the ineffective portion of the hedge, gains or losses are charged to earnings in the current period. For derivative instruments that hedge the exposure to changes in the fair value of certain fixed rate debt, designated as fair value hedges, the effective portion of the net gain or loss on the derivative instrument, as well as the offsetting gain or loss on the fixed rate debt attributable to the hedged risk, are recorded in current period earnings.

Cintas uses interest rate swap and lock agreements as hedges against variability in short-term interest rates. These agreements effectively convert a portion of the floating rate debt to a fixed rate basis, thus reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future interest expense. Cintas uses the Hypothetical Derivative Method for assessing the effectiveness of these swaps. The effectiveness of these swaps is reviewed at least every fiscal quarter. Cintas will also periodically use reverse interest rate swap agreements to convert a portion of fixed rate debt to a floating rate basis, thus hedging for changes in the fair value of the fixed rate debt being hedged. Cintas has determined that the current interest rate swap agreement, designated as a fair value hedge, qualifies for treatment under the short-cut method of measuring effectiveness. Under the provisions of SFAS 133, this hedge is determined to be perfectly effective and there is no requirement to periodically evaluate effectiveness.

Approximately 28%, or $50 million, of outstanding floating rate debt was designated as the hedged items covered by interest-rate swap agreements at August 31, 2002. The change in fair value of these cash flow hedges during the first quarter of FY 2003 resulted in a charge of $264 to other comprehensive income. The reverse interest rate swap agreement is a fair value hedge that converts $125 million of fixed rate debt to a floating rate. This agreement expires in 2007, and allows Cintas to receive an effective interest rate of 5.13% and pay an interest rate based on LIBOR. Because this fair value hedge is 100% effective, the $7.0 million favorable change in the fair value of this hedge was directly offset by an increase in the fair value of the debt.

6.    Acquisitions

At the time of the Omni Services, Inc. (Omni) acquisition, management approved a plan to integrate certain Omni facilities into existing Cintas operations. Included in the purchase price allocation was a restructuring charge of approximately $36 million, which includes approximately $6 million in severance-related costs for corporate and field employees and approximately $30 million in asset write-downs and lease cancellation costs.

The integration of Omni facilities is proceeding as planned. Through the first quarter, just under 50% of the acquired Omni facilities were integrated, or in the process of being integrated, into existing Cintas locations. Payments to date for severance-related costs were approximately $3 million, while assets write-downs and lease cancellation costs were approximately $26 million. Cintas expects to complete the integration within the first year of acquisition.

7.    Comprehensive Income

Total comprehensive income represents the net change in shareholders’ equity during a period from sources other than transactions with shareholders and, as such, includes net earnings. For Cintas, the only other components of total comprehensive income are the change in cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments and the change in the fair value of forecasted cash flows associated with a derivative accounted for as a cash flow hedge. The components of comprehensive income for the three month periods ended August 31, 2002 and 2001 are as follows:

                                          August 31, 2002        August 31, 2001

8.     Segment Information

Cintas classifies its businesses into two operating segments: Rentals and Other Services. The Rentals 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 first aid products and services and cleanroom supplies. Substantially 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 about 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.

9.    Supplemental Guarantor Information

On May 13, 2002, Cintas completed the acquisition of Omni for approximately $656,000. The purchase price for Omni was funded with $450,000 in long-term notes, $100,000 of borrowings under a commercial paper program and approximately $106,000 in cash. The $450,000 in long-term notes consist of $225,000 with five-year maturities at an interest rate of 5 1/8% and $225,000 with ten-year maturities at an interest rate of 6%.

Effective June 1, 2000, Cintas reorganized its legal structure and created Cintas Corporation No. 2 (Corp. 2) as its indirectly, wholly-owned principal operating subsidiary. Cintas and its wholly-owned, direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries, other than Corp. 2, will unconditionally guarantee, jointly and severally, debt of Corp. 2. As allowed by SEC rules, the following condensed consolidating financial statements are provided as an alternative to filing separate financial statements of the guarantors. Each of the subsidiaries presented in the condensed consolidating financial statements has been fully consolidated in Cintas’ financial statements. The condensed consolidating financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of Cintas and notes thereto of which this note is an integral part.

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

Total revenue increased 18% for the three months ended August 31, 2002, over the same period in fiscal 2002. Net rental revenue increased 21% for the three months ended August 31, 2002, over the same period in the prior fiscal year, primarily due to the acquisition of Omni in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002 and growth in the customer base. Revenue from the sale of uniforms and other direct sale items increased 8% for the three months ended August 31, 2002, over the same period in the prior year, due to acquisitions made in fiscal 2002.

Net income increased 9% for the three months ended August 31, 2002, over the same period in fiscal 2002, primarily due to revenue growth. Diluted earnings per share increased 9% for the three months ended August 31, 2002, over the same period in the prior fiscal year.

Net interest expense (interest expense less interest income) was $7 million for the three months ended August 31, 2002 compared to $2 million for the same period in the prior fiscal year. This increase was primarily a result of $450 million of long-term notes issued in late fiscal 2002 to finance the Omni acquisition. Cintas’ effective tax rate was 37.0% for both the three months ended August 31, 2002 and August 31, 2001.

Financial Condition

At August 31, 2002, we had $69 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, a decrease of $16 million from May 31, 2002, primarily due to repayment of outstanding commercial paper. The cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities will be used to finance future growth, capital expenditures, repayment of debt and dividends. We believe that our current cash position, funds generated from operations and the strength of our banking relationships are sufficient to meet our anticipated operational and capital requirements.

Net property and equipment decreased by $8 million from May 31, 2002 to August 31, 2002, due to the excess of depreciation over capital expenditures in the first quarter. At the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2003, Cintas had eight uniform rental facilities in various stages of construction.

Following is information regarding Cintas’ long-term contractual obligations and other commitments outstanding as of August 31, 2002:

Litigation and Other Contingencies

Cintas is party to litigation in the normal course of business, none of which is expected to have a material impact on operating results. This litigation includes lawsuits that challenge the legality of certain ancillary charges on invoices. The estimated liability, if any, related to these lawsuits has not been determined, but is not expected to have a material adverse effect on results. In addition, a class action suit was filed in the State of California alleging that Cintas violated the California overtime pay laws applicable to its service sales representatives, which Cintas believed to be exempt employees. Management has established estimated accruals to the extent that liabilities exist for such matters and believes that any liability in excess of amounts accrued will not have a material impact on the financial statements.

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

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

In our normal operations, Cintas has market risk exposure to interest rates. There has been no significant change in our exposure to these risks, which has been previously disclosed on page 50 of our most recent annual report.

Controls and Procedures

Cintas performed an evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures within 90 days of filing this quarterly report (the “Evaluation Date”). After evaluating the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, along with other key management of Cintas, have determined that disclosure controls and procedures were effective and designed to ensure that material information relating to Cintas and its consolidated subsidiaries would be made known to them on a timely basis. There were no significant changes in internal controls or other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the Evaluation Date.

Forward-Looking Statements

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor from civil litigation for forward-looking statements. This report contains forward-looking statements that reflect the company’s current views as to future events and financial performance with respect to its operations. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in this report. Factors that might cause such a difference include the possibility of greater than anticipated operating costs, lower sales volumes, the performance and costs of integration of acquisitions, fluctuations in costs of materials and labor, the outcome of pending environmental matters, the initiation or outcome of litigation, higher assumed sourcing or distribution costs of products and the reactions of competitors in terms of price and service. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made. Cintas undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect the events or circumstances arising after the date on which they are made.
