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

1.   The consolidated  condensed financial statements of Cintas Corporation (the
     "Company")  included  herein  have been  prepared by the  Company,  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 the Company believes that the disclosures presented
     are adequate to make the information  not misleading,  it is suggested that
     these consolidated  condensed  financial  statements be read in conjunction
     with the financial  statements  and notes  included in the  Company's  most
     recent  annual  report for the fiscal year ended May 31, 1998. A summary of
     the Company's  significant  accounting  policies is presented on page 21 of
     the  Company's  most  recent  annual  report.  There have been no  material
     changes in the  accounting  policies  followed by the Company during fiscal
     year 1999.

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 April 1998,  the Company  acquired  Uniforms To You (UTY), a 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 UTY for all  periods.  Prior to the  merger,  UTY had
     elected S Corporation  status for income tax  purposes.  As a result of the
     merger, UTY terminated its S Corporation election. Pro forma adjustment for
     income taxes presents the pro forma tax expense of UTY as if UTY had been a
     C Corporation during the financial statement periods presented.

     calculate  basic and diluted  earnings per share for the respective  years:

5.   As of June 1, 1998, the Company adopted the Financial  Accounting Standards
     Board  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 130,  Reporting
     Comprehensive Income. Statement 130 establishes new rules for the reporting
     and  display of  comprehensive  income  and its  components;  however,  the
     adoption of this  Statement  had no impact on the  Company's  net income or
     shareholders' equity. Statement 130 requires the Company's foreign currency
     translation  adjustment,  which prior to adoption was  reported  separately
     in shareholders' equity to be included in other comprehensive income. Prior
     year  financial  statements  have  been  reclassified  to  conform  to  the
     requirements of Statement 130.

     The components of  comprehensive  income for the three-month  periods ended
     August 31, 1998 and 1997 are as follows:

                                               August 1998          August 1997

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

Total  revenues  increased 30% in the first quarter of fiscal 1999 over the same
period in fiscal 1998.  Net rental  revenue  increased  28% for the three months
ended  August  31,  1998  over the same  period in the prior  fiscal  year,  due
primarily to growth in the customer base.  First quarter  revenues from the sale
of uniforms  and other  direct sale items  increased  36% over the prior  year's
first  quarter,  principally  as a result  of the  increased  sales of first aid
supplies.

Net income and basic  earnings per share on a pro forma basis  increased 27% and
23%,  respectively,  for the three months  ended August 31, 1998,  over the same
period in fiscal 1998.

Net interest expense  (interest expense less interest income) was $1,236,000 for
the first  quarter of fiscal 1999 compared to $1,157,000 in the first quarter of
fiscal 1998. Net interest expense has increased  primarily due to an increase in
long-term debt related to  acquisitions.  The Company's  effective tax rate on a
pro forma basis was 39% and 38% respectively,  for the three months ended August
31,  1998 and  August  31,  1997.  The  increase  was due to a higher  state tax
provision and the relative  change between taxable income  (increasing  29%) and
tax exempt income which has remained stable.

Cash,  cash  equivalents  and marketable  securities  decreased by $2 million at
August 31, 1998 from May 31, 1998 primarily due to capital  expenditures for new
uniform rental facilities.  The cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities
will be used to finance future acquisitions and capital expenditures.

Net property,  plant and equipment increased by $25 million from May 31, 1998 to
August 31, 1998. At the end of the first quarter of fiscal 1999, the Company had
nineteen uniform rental facilities in various stages of construction.

Financial Condition
- -------------------

At August 31, 1998, the Company had $99 million in cash,  cash  equivalents  and
marketable  securities.  The Company  believes  that its current cash  position,
funds  anticipated  to be  generated  from  operations  and the  strength of its
banking  relationships  are sufficient to meet its  anticipated  operational and
capital need requirements.

Impact of Year 2000
- -------------------

The Company has completed an  assessment of all of its software  systems and has
determined  what changes,  if any, need to be made so that its computer  systems
will function  properly  with respect to dates in the year 2000 and  thereafter.
The total  cost of those  changes is not  expected  to be  material  and will be
expensed as incurred.  The Company  incurred the majority of its Year 2000 costs
during  fiscal  1998,  and the  remaining  costs are  expected to be expensed in
fiscal 1999 when all changes are expected to be completed. The Company is in the
process of  contacting  key suppliers to obtain  certification  of their systems
Year 2000 compliance.
