1.             Basis of Presentation

The consolidated condensed financial statements of Cintas Corporation (Cintas, the Company, we, us or our) included herein have been prepared by Cintas, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) 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 consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2011.  A summary of our significant accounting policies is presented beginning on page 38 of that report.  There have been no material changes in the accounting policies followed by Cintas during the current fiscal year.

As disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market.  Inventory is comprised of the following amounts:

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 consolidated results of the interim periods shown have been made.

2.             New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued new guidance on the presentation of other comprehensive income. The new guidance eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity and requires an entity to present either one continuous statement of net income and other comprehensive income or in two separate, but consecutive, statements. This new guidance is effective for Cintas for the first quarter of the fiscal year ending May 31, 2013, and is to be applied retrospectively. Cintas does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In September 2011, the FASB issued new guidance with respect to the annual goodwill impairment test which adds a qualitative assessment that allows companies to determine whether they need to perform the two-step impairment test. The objective of the guidance is to simplify how companies test goodwill for impairment, and more specifically, to reduce the cost and complexity of performing the goodwill impairment test. The guidance may change how the goodwill impairment test is performed, but should not change the timing or measurement of goodwill impairments.  The qualitative screen is effective for companies with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted for all companies.  Cintas will consider the new guidance in performing its annual goodwill impairment test when appropriate.

3.             Fair Value Measurements

FASB Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) Topic 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  It also establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. This hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:

In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Cintas’ assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

In order to meet the requirements of ASC 820, Cintas utilizes two basic valuation approaches to determine the fair value of its assets and liabilities required to be recorded on a recurring basis at fair value. The first approach is the cost approach. The cost approach is generally the value a market participant would expect to replace the respective asset or liability. The second approach is the market approach. The market approach looks at what a market participant would consider valuing an exact or similar asset or liability to that of Cintas, including those traded on exchanges.

All financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) have been segregated into the most appropriate level within the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to determine the fair value at the consolidated balance sheet date.  These financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:

Table of Contents

CINTAS CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Cintas’ cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities are generally classified within Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices, broker or dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency.  The types of financial instruments based on quoted market prices in active markets include most bank deposits, money market securities and certain Canadian treasury securities. Such instruments are generally classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.  Cintas does not adjust the quoted market price for such financial instruments.

The types of financial instruments valued based on quoted market prices in markets that are not active, broker or dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency include certain Canadian treasury securities (primarily agency debt obligations). The primary inputs to value Cintas’ marketable securities is the respective instruments future cash flows based on its stated yield and the amount a market participant would pay for a similar instrument.  The valuation technique used for Cintas’ marketable securities classified within Level 2 of the fair market value hierarchy is primarily the market approach. Primarily all of Cintas’ marketable securities are actively traded and the recorded fair value reflects current market conditions.  However, due to the inherent volatility in the investment market, there is at least a possibility that recorded investment values may change in the near term.

The funds invested in Canadian marketable securities are not expected to be repatriated, but instead are expected to be invested indefinitely in foreign subsidiaries.  Interest, realized gains and losses and declines in value determined to be other than temporary on available-for-sale securities are included in interest income or expense.  The cost of the securities sold is based on the specific identification method. The amortized cost basis of the marketable securities as of August 31, 2011 and May 31, 2011 is $126.7 million and $87.3 million, respectively.  All contractual maturities are due within one year.

Current accrued liabilities include foreign currency average rate options and forward contracts.  The fair value of Cintas’ foreign currency average rate options and forward contracts are based on similar exchange traded derivatives (market approach) and are, therefore, included within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The methods described above may produce a fair value that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while Cintas believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the consolidated balance sheet date.

Cintas’ non-financial assets and liabilities not permitted or required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis primarily relate to assets and liabilities acquired in a business acquisition.  Cintas is required to provide additional disclosures about fair value measurements as part of the consolidated financial statements for each major category of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-

recurring basis (including business acquisitions).  Based on the nature of Cintas’ business acquisitions, which occur regularly throughout the fiscal year, the majority of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed consist of working capital, primarily valued using Level 2 inputs, property and equipment, also primarily valued using Level 2 inputs and goodwill and other identified intangible assets valued using Level 3 inputs.  In general, non-recurring fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, which generally are not applicable to non-financial assets and liabilities. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize data points that are observable, such as definitive sales agreements, appraisals or established market values of comparable assets. Fair values determined by Level 3 inputs are unobservable data points for the asset or liability and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability, such as internal estimates of future cash flows.

4.             Earnings per Share

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share using the two-class method for amounts attributable to Cintas’ common shares:

(Unaudited)

For the three months ended August 31, 2011 and 2010, 2.5 million and 5.0 million options granted to purchase shares of Cintas common stock, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share.  The exercise prices of these options were greater than the average market price of the common stock (anti-dilutive).

On October 26, 2010, we announced that the Board of Directors authorized an additional $500.0 million share buyback program at market prices.  We completed the October 26, 2010 share buyback program by purchasing 8.1 million shares of Cintas common stock in June and July 2011 for an aggregate purchase price of $259.5 million.  From the inception of the October 26, 2010 share buyback program through July 29, 2011, Cintas purchased a total of 15.8 million shares of Cintas common stock at an average price of $31.70 per share for a total purchase price of $500.0 million.

5.             Goodwill, Service Contracts and Other Assets

Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill and service contracts for the three months ended August 31, 2011, by operating segment, are as follows:

Information regarding Cintas’ service contracts and other assets is as follows:

(1)           Investments at August 31, 2011, include the cash surrender value of insurance policies of $54.1 million, equity method investments of $30.9 million and cost method investments of $2.9 million.  Investments at May 31, 2011, include the cash surrender value of insurance policies of $51.1 million, equity method investments of $30.2 million and cost method investments of $2.9 million.

Amortization expense was $10.2 million and $10.4 million for the three months ended August 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  Estimated amortization expense, excluding any future acquisitions, for each of the next five years is $38.0 million, $21.0 million, $17.5 million, $14.7 million and $9.5 million, respectively.

Investments recorded using the cost method are evaluated for impairment on an annual basis or when indicators of impairment are identified.  For the three months ended August 31, 2011 and 2010, no losses due to impairment were recorded.

6.             Debt, Derivatives and Hedging Activities

Cintas has a commercial paper program with a capacity of $300.0 million that is fully supported by a backup revolving credit facility through a credit agreement with its banking group.  The revolving credit facility has an accordion feature that allows for a maximum borrowing capacity of $450.0 million and has an expiration date of September 26, 2014.  No commercial paper or borrowings on our revolving credit facility were outstanding at August 31, 2011 or May 31, 2011.

Cintas used interest rate lock agreements to hedge against movements in the treasury rates at the time Cintas issued its senior notes in fiscal 2002, fiscal 2007, fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2011.  The amortization of the interest rate lock agreements resulted in an increase to other comprehensive income of $0.4 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended August 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

To hedge the exposure of movements in the foreign currency rates, Cintas uses foreign currency hedges.  These hedges would reduce the impact on cash flows from movements in the foreign currency exchange rates.   Examples of foreign currency hedge instruments that Cintas may use are average rate options and forward contracts.  Cintas had average rate options and forward contracts outstanding, included in current accrued liabilities, of $0.5 million and $0.9 million at August 31, 2011 and May 31, 2011, respectively. The average rate options that settled during the first quarter increased foreign currency exchange expense by less than $0.1 million during the three months ended August 31, 2011, and decreased foreign currency exchange expense by $0.1 million during the three months ended August 31, 2010.

Cintas has certain covenants related to debt agreements. These covenants limit Cintas’ ability to incur certain liens, to engage in sale-leaseback transactions and to merge, consolidate or sell all or substantially all of Cintas’ assets. These covenants also require Cintas to maintain certain debt to capitalization and interest coverage ratios. Cross-default provisions exist between certain debt instruments.  Cintas is in compliance with all of the significant debt covenants for all periods presented.  If a default of a significant covenant were to occur, the default could result in an acceleration of the maturity of the indebtedness, impair liquidity and limit the ability to raise future capital.

7.             Income Taxes

In the normal course of business, Cintas provides for uncertain tax positions and the related interest and adjusts its unrecognized tax benefits and accrued interest accordingly.  During the three months ended August 31, 2011, unrecognized tax benefits increased by approximately $0.2 million and accrued interest increased by approximately $1.2 million.

All U.S. federal income tax returns are closed to audit through fiscal 2008.  Cintas is currently in advanced stages of audits in certain foreign jurisdictions and certain domestic states. The years under audit cover fiscal years back to 2004.  Based on the resolution of the various audits, it is reasonably possible that the balance of unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by $13.8 million for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2012.

8.             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 income.  For Cintas, the only components of other comprehensive income are the change in cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments, the change in the fair value of derivatives, the amortization of interest rate lock agreements and the change in the fair value of available-for-sale securities.  The components of comprehensive income are as follows:

*   Net of less than $0.1 million and ($0.4) million of tax expense (benefit) for the three months ended August 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

** Net of less than $0.1 million of tax expense for both the three months ended August 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

9.             Litigation and Other Contingencies

Cintas is subject to legal proceedings, insurance receipts, legal settlements and claims arising from the ordinary course of its business, including personal injury, customer contract, environmental and employment claims.  In the opinion of management, the aggregate liability, if any, with respect to such ordinary course of business actions will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operation of Cintas.  Cintas is party to additional litigation not considered in the ordinary course of business, including the litigation discussed below.

Cintas is a defendant in a purported class action lawsuit, Mirna E. Serrano, et al. v. Cintas Corporation (Serrano), filed on May 10, 2004, and pending in the United States District Court, Eastern District of Michigan, Southern Division.  The Serrano plaintiffs alleged that Cintas discriminated against women in hiring into various service sales representative positions across all divisions of Cintas.  On November 15, 2005, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) intervened in the Serrano lawsuit.  The Serrano plaintiffs seek injunctive relief, compensatory damages, punitive damages, attorneys’ fees and other remedies.  On October 27, 2008, the United States District Court in the Eastern District of Michigan granted summary judgment in favor of Cintas limiting the scope of the putative class in the Serrano lawsuit to female applicants for service sales representative positions at Cintas locations within the state of Michigan.  Consequently, all claims brought by female applicants for service sales representative positions outside of the state of Michigan were dismissed.  Similarly, any claims brought by the EEOC on

(Unaudited)

behalf of similarly situated female applicants outside of the state of Michigan have also been dismissed from the Serrano lawsuit.  Cintas is a defendant in another purported class action lawsuit, Blanca Nelly Avalos, et al. v. Cintas Corporation (Avalos), which was filed in the United States District Court, Eastern District of Michigan, Southern Division.  The Avalos plaintiffs alleged that Cintas discriminated against women, African-Americans and Hispanics in hiring into various service sales representative positions in Cintas’ Rental division only throughout the United States.  The Avalos plaintiffs sought injunctive relief, compensatory damages, punitive damages, attorneys’ fees and other remedies.  The claims in Avalos originally were brought in the lawsuit captioned Robert Ramirez, et al. v. Cintas Corporation (Ramirez), filed on January 20, 2004, in the United States District Court, Northern District of California, San Francisco Division.  On May 11, 2006, the Ramirez and Avalos African-American, Hispanic and female failure to hire into service sales representative positions claims and the EEOC’s intervention were consolidated for pretrial purposes with the Serrano case and transferred to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, Southern Division.  The consolidated case was known as Mirna E. Serrano/Blanca Nelly Avalos, et al. v. Cintas Corporation (Serrano/Avalos).  On March 31, 2009, the United States District Court, Eastern District of Michigan, Southern Division entered an order denying class certification to all plaintiffs in the Serrano/Avalos lawsuits.   Following denial of class certification, the Court permitted the individual Avalos and Serrano plaintiffs to proceed separately.  In the Avalos case, the Court dismissed the remaining claims of the individual plaintiffs who remained in that case after the denial of class certification.  On May 11, 2010, Plaintiff Tanesha Davis, on behalf of all similarly situated plaintiffs in the Avalos case, filed a notice of appeal of the District Court’s summary judgment order in the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit.  The Appellate Court has made no determination regarding the merits of Davis’ appeal.    In September 2010, the Court in Serrano dismissed all private individual claims and all claims of the EEOC and the 13 individuals it claimed to represent.  The EEOC has appealed the District Court’s summary judgment decisions and various other rulings to the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit.  The Court of Appeals has not yet ruled on the EEOC’s appeal.

The litigation discussed above, if decided or settled adversely to Cintas, may, individually or in the aggregate, result in liability material to Cintas’ consolidated financial condition or consolidated results of operation and could increase costs of operations on an ongoing basis.  Any estimated liability relating to these proceedings is not determinable at this time.  Cintas may enter into discussions regarding settlement of these and other lawsuits, and may enter into settlement agreements if it believes such settlement is in the best interest of Cintas’ shareholders.

Cintas is a defendant in a purported class action lawsuit, Paul Veliz, et al. v. Cintas Corporation (Veliz), filed on March 19, 2003, in the United States District Court, Northern District of California, Oakland Division, alleging that Cintas violated certain federal and state wage and hour laws applicable to its service sales representatives, whom Cintas considers exempt employees, and asserting additional related ERISA claims.  On April 5, 2004 and February 14, 2006, the Court stayed the claims of all plaintiffs with valid arbitration agreements pending arbitration of those claims.  Claims made in the Veliz action, therefore, are pending before the United States District Court, Northern District of California and Judge Bruce Meyerson (Ret.), an Arbitrator selected by the parties.  On August 5, 2009, the parties in the Veliz action reached a settlement in principle.  That settlement was granted preliminary approval by the District Court.  The pre-tax impact, net of insurance proceeds, was $19.5 million in fiscal 2010.  Pursuant to the settlement agreement, Cintas paid $22.8 million on December 17, 2010.  On June 3, 2011, the Court granted final approval of the settlement. On July 20, 2011, Cintas paid $1.9 million to satisfy the future income tax liabilities of the class members as they receive their respective shares of the settlement funds.  Any remaining balance of the settlement funds will be used to pay the fees and expenses of the settlement administrator or donated to a charitable organization as determined by the court.
