  1. 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 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 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.

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

Total revenues increased 16% and 15%, respectively, for the three and six months ended November 30, over the same periods in fiscal 2000. Net rental revenue increased 14% for the three and six months ended November 30, over the same periods in the prior fiscal year primarily due to growth in the customer base. Revenue from the sale of uniforms and other direct sale items increased 21% and 19%, respectively, for the three and six months ended November 30, over the same periods in the prior year, as a result of the increased sales in our catalog business, as well as our First Aid and Safety, Cleanroom, National Account and Uniforms To You divisions.

Net income increased 17% for the three and six months ended November 30, over the same periods in fiscal 2000. Diluted earnings per share increased 14% and 17%, respectively, for the three and six months ended November 30, over the same periods in the prior fiscal year.

Net interest expense (interest expense less interest income) was $2,756,000 and $5,583,000 for the three and six months ended November 30, 2000 compared to $2,822,000 and $5,801,000, respectively, for the same periods in the prior fiscal year. Net interest expense has decreased primarily due to the repayment of long-term debt. Also, in February 2000, we refinanced our variable rate bank debt and replaced it with our own commercial paper program. Cintas received an A1/P1 rating from Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s. Cintas’ effective tax rate was 37.7% and 37.6% for the three and six months ended November 30, compared to 38.0% and 38.1%, respectively, for the same periods in fiscal 2000. The decrease was primarily the result of a decrease in state and local income taxes attributable to state tax planning programs.

Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities decreased by $38 million at November 30, 2000 from May 31, 2000 due to capital expenditures for new uniform facilities and an acceleration in sales growth causing our working capital assets, primarily accounts receivable and inventories, to increase. In addition, we prefunded the majority of our medical costs into a VEBA Trust, thereby generating a favorable tax impact. The cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities will be used to finance future acquisitions and capital expenditures.

Net property and equipment increased by $36 million from May 31, 2000 to November 30, 2000. At the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2001, we had nine uniform rental facilities in various stages of construction.

Financial Condition

At November 30, 2000, we had $71 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. 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.
