Goodwill and Intangible Assets

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations, which eliminates the pooling of interests method of accounting for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 and addresses the initial recognition and measurement of goodwill and other intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Cintas will adopt this accounting standard for business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001.

As of June 1, 2001, Cintas adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, which addresses the financial accounting and reporting standards for the acquisition of intangible assets outside of a business combination and for goodwill and other intangible assets subsequent to their acquisition. This accounting standard requires that goodwill be separately disclosed from other intangible assets in the statement of financial position, and no longer be amortized but tested for impairment on a periodic basis. The provisions of this accounting standard also require the completion of a transitional impairment test within six months of adoption, with any impairments identified treated as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Cintas discontinued the amortization of goodwill effective June 1, 2001. A reconciliation of previously reported net income and earnings per share to the amounts adjusted for the exclusion of goodwill amortization net of the related income tax effect follows:

Prior to November 30, 2001, Cintas will complete a transitional goodwill impairment test as required. This test will involve the use of estimates related to the fair market value with which the goodwill is associated.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Accounting Policy for Derivative Instruments

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The Statement requires that companies recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that do not qualify as hedges must be adjusted to fair value through income. For those derivatives that are designated and qualify as a hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivatives are either offset against the change in fair value of assets, liabilities or firm commitments through earnings or recognized in other comprehensive income. The ineffective portion of a derivative’s change in fair value will be immediately recognized in earnings. The accounting treatment will depend on whether the derivative is considered a fair value hedge or a cash flow hedge.

Cintas has used derivatives for cash flow hedging purposes only. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified to earnings in the period in which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The remaining gain or loss on the derivative instrument in excess of the cumulative change in the present value of future cash flows of the hedged item, if any, is recognized in current earnings during the period of change. The adoption of Statement 133 on June 1, 2001 resulted in a charge of $44 in other comprehensive income. The change in fair value during the first quarter of FY 2002 resulted in a charge of $112 to other comprehensive income.

Cash Flow Hedging Strategy

Cintas uses interest rate swap agreements as a hedge against variability in short term interest rates. These swap agreements effectively convert a portion of our floating rate debt to a fixed rate basis, thus reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future interest expense.

During fiscal 2001, Cintas entered into an interest-rate swap agreement that effectively converted a portion of our floating-rate debt to a fixed-rate basis for a period of two years. Approximately 7%, or $10 million, of outstanding floating rate debt was designated as the hedged items covered by interest-rate swap agreements at August 31, 2001.

5.       

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, 2001 and 2000 are as follows:

                                                      August 2001    August 2000

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 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 revenue increased 8% for the three months ended August 31, 2001, over the same period in fiscal 2001. Net rental revenue increased 11% for the three months ended August 31, 2001, over the same period in the prior fiscal year primarily due to growth in the customer base. Revenue from the sale of uniforms and other direct sale items remained flat for the three months ended August 31, 2001, over the same period in the prior year.

Net income increased 11% for the three months ended August 31, 2001, over the same period in fiscal 2001. Diluted earnings per share increased 10% for the three months ended August 31, 2001, over the same period in the prior fiscal year.

Net interest expense (interest expense less interest income) was $2 million for the three months ended August 31, 2001 compared to $3 million for the same period in the prior fiscal year. This decrease was a result of lower levels of long-term debt, as well as decreased interest rates. Cintas’ effective tax rate was 37.0% for the three months ended August 31, 2001, compared to 37.6% for the same periods in fiscal 2001. 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 increased by $16 million at August 31, 2001 from May 31, 2001, primarily due to strong cash flow from operations. The cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities will be used to finance future acquisitions and capital expenditures.

Net property and equipment increased by $8 million from May 31, 2001 to August 31, 2001. At the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2002, we had eight uniform rental facilities in various stages of construction.

Financial Condition

At August 31, 2001, we had $127 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.

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.
