              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)
                      (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.

4.   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  accumulated  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 and nine month periods
     ended  February  28, 1999 and 1998 are as follows:

5.   On January 11, 1999, the Company announced it had entered into an agreement
     to acquire Unitog Company, a publicly held uniform company headquartered in
     Kansas City,  Missouri.  Annual revenues for Unitog were approximately $270
     million in 1998.  Unitog  shareholders are scheduled to consider the merger
     at a special  Unitog  Company  Shareholders  Meeting  on March  24th and if
     consummated,  the  transaction  will  be  accounted  for  as a  pooling  of
     interests.

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

Results of Operations

Total revenues increased 19% and 25% respectively, for the three and nine months
ended  February  28,  1999 over the same  periods in fiscal  1998.  The  current
quarter of FY 1999  reflects one less work day than the same quarter of FY 1998.
One work day represents  approximately $6 million in revenue. Net rental revenue
increased 22% and 25% respectively, for the three and nine months ended February
28, 1999 over the same periods in the prior fiscal year, due primarily to growth
in the customer base and the acquisitions of Apparelmaster and Mechanics Laundry
in the second half of fiscal 1998.  Third quarter  revenues from other  services
increased  13% over the prior  year's third  quarter.  For the nine months ended
February 28, 1999 these  revenues  increased  24% over the same period in fiscal
1998. These increases are a result of increased sales in the Company's  catalog,
first aid and safety and  Uniforms To You  divisions.  The  Company's  cleanroom
division  experienced  weakness  in revenue  growth due to  cutbacks in customer
operations in the biotech and computer chip industries.

Net income on a pro forma  basis  increased  29% and 28%  respectively,  for the
three and nine months ended  February 28, 1999,  over the same periods in fiscal
1998. Pro forma basic earnings per share increased 24% and 23% respectively, and
pro forma  diluted  earnings per share  increased  25% and 24% for the three and
nine months ended February 28, 1999, over the same periods in fiscal 1998.

Net interest  expense  (interest  expense less interest income) was $922,000 and
$3,523,000  respectively,  for the three and nine months ended February 28, 1999
compared to $870,000 and  $2,914,000  respectively,  for the same periods in the
prior  fiscal year.  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 of 38% was comparable to the prior year.

Cash,  cash  equivalents  and marketable  securities  increased by $1 million at
February 28, 1999 from May 31, 1998. The cash,  cash  equivalents and marketable
securities will be used to finance future acquisitions and capital expenditures.

Net property,  plant and equipment increased by $83 million from May 31, 1998 to
February 28, 1999. At the end of the third  quarter of fiscal 1999,  the Company
had seventeen uniform rental facilities in various stages of construction.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At February 28, 1999, the Company had $102 million in cash, cash equivalents and
marketable  securities.  The Company  believes  with 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 needs requirements.

As discussed in Note 5 to the Consolidated  Condensed Financial Statements,  the
Company has entered into an agreement to acquire Unitog Company headquartered in
Kansas City,  Missouri.  The  transaction is expected to be effective March 24th
and will be accounted for as a pooling of interests.

Impact of Year 2000

The company has completed an  assessment of all of its software  systems and has
determined  the changes that 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 are  being
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.  These  expenses will
be funded through existing cash resources and future operating cashflows. All of
the  Company's  critical  production  systems  are  now  fully  compliant;   and
therefore, the Company has developed no contingency plans for its systems.

The Company has contacted its major suppliers to obtain  certification  of their
systems Year 2000  compliance  in order to identify any high-risk  vendors.  The
Company is now  evaluating  the responses from these vendors and is developing a
strategy to minimize  their risk.  During 1999,  the Company will follow up with
all of its  major  suppliers  to  ensure  that they  meet  their  target  dates.
Strategies  will  include  contingency  plans such as  alternative  suppliers or
alternative processes.

The Company  believes it is devoting  appropriate  resources to resolve any Year
2000 issues in a timely  manner and believes  that all internal  systems will be
prepared for Year 2000  processing.  Based upon the work  performed to date, the
Company  presently  believes  that  the  likelihood  of the Year  2000  having a
material result on its operations, liquidity or financial position is remote.
