Part I

Item 1. Business

Cintas Corporation (Cintas), a Washington corporation, provides highly specialized products and services to businesses of all types throughout the United States and Canada. Cintas’ products and services are designed to enhance its customers’ images and brand identification as well as provide a safe and efficient work place. Cintas was founded in 1968 by Richard T. Farmer, Chairman of the Board, when he left his family’s industrial laundry business in order to develop uniform programs using an exclusive new fabric. In the early 1970’s, Cintas acquired the family industrial laundry business. Over the years, Cintas developed additional products and services that complemented its core uniform business and broadened the scope of products and services available to our customers.

The products and services provided by Cintas are as follows:

Uniforms and Apparel

Mats, Mops and Towels

Restroom and Hygiene Service

First Aid

Safety

Fire Protection

Branded Promotional Products

Document Shredding and Storage

Cleanroom Resources

Flame Resistant Clothing

These products and services are provided to approximately 800,000 businesses of all types – from small service and manufacturing companies to major corporations that employ thousands of people. This diversity in customer base results in no individual customer accounting for greater than one percent of Cintas’ total revenues. As a result, the loss of one account would not have a significant financial impact on Cintas.

Cintas classifies its business into two operating segments, Rentals and Other Services, based on the similar economic and organizational characteristics of the products and services within each segment. The Rentals segment reflects the rental and servicing of uniforms and other garments, mats, mops and shop towels. In addition to these rental items, we also provide restroom and hygiene products and services within this segment. The Other Services segment consists of the direct sale of uniforms and related items, first aid, safety and fire protection products and services, document management services and branded promotional products.

The following table sets forth the revenues derived from each operating segment provided by Cintas:


Year Ended May 31, (in thousands)	2007		2006		2005

Rentals	$	2,734,629	$	2,568,776	$	2,363,397
Other Services		972,271		834,832		703,886
	$	3,706,900	$	3,403,608	$	3,067,283

See Note 13 entitled Segment Information in “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.”

The primary markets served by both Cintas operating segments are local in nature and highly fragmented. Cintas competes with national, regional and local providers, and the level of competition varies at each of Cintas’ locations. Product, design, price, quality, service and convenience to the customer are the competitive elements in both operating segments.

Within the Rentals segment, Cintas provides its products and services to customers via local delivery routes originating from rental processing plants and branches. Within the Other Services segment,

Cintas provides its products and services via its distribution network and local delivery routes or local representatives. In total, Cintas has approximately 7,300 local delivery routes, 407 operations and 7 distribution centers.

Cintas sources finished products from many outside suppliers. In addition, Cintas operates eleven manufacturing facilities which provide for a substantial amount of its standard uniform needs. Cintas purchases fabric, used in its manufacturing process, from several suppliers. Cintas is not aware of any circumstances that would hinder its ability to continue obtaining these materials.

Cintas is subject to various environmental laws and regulations, as are other companies in the uniform rental industry. While environmental compliance is not a material component of our costs, Cintas must incur capital expenditures and associated operating costs, primarily for water treatment and waste removal, on a regular basis. Environmental spending related to water treatment and waste removal was approximately $16 million in fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006. Capital expenditures to limit or monitor hazardous substances were approximately $2 million in fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006. These expenditures were primarily related to the purchase of water treatment systems, which are depreciated over a useful life of ten years. Cintas does not expect a material change in the cost of environmental compliance on a percent to revenue basis and is not aware of any material non-compliance with environmental laws.

At May 31, 2007, Cintas employed approximately 34,000 employees of which approximately 400 were represented by labor unions. Since January 2003, Cintas has been the target of a corporate unionization campaign by Unite Here and the Teamsters unions. These unions are attempting to pressure Cintas into surrendering its employees’ rights to a government-supervised election and unilaterally accept union representation. This is unacceptable. Cintas’ philosophy in regard to unions is straightforward: We believe that employees have the right to say yes to union representation and the freedom to say no. This campaign could be materially disruptive to our business and could materially adversely affect results of operations. We will continue to vigorously oppose this campaign and to defend our employees’ rights. Cintas considers its relationships with its employees to be satisfactory.

Cintas files annual and quarterly reports and proxy materials with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The public may copy these materials at the SEC’s Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, N.E., Room 1580 Washington, D.C. 20549 and may obtain further information concerning the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at (800) SEC-0330. The SEC maintains an Internet site that contains the same information regarding Cintas that is filed electronically with the SEC. The address of that site is: http://www.sec.gov. Cintas’ Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K and amendments to those reports are available free of charge as posted on its website, www.cintas.com, as soon as reasonably practicable after electronically filing with the SEC. Cintas is not including the other information contained on its website as part of or incorporating it by reference into this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The statements in this section, as well as statements described elsewhere in this Form 10-K, or in other SEC filings, describe risks that could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, and the trading price of our debt or equity securities could decline. These risks are not the only risks that we face. Our business, financial condition and results of operations could also be affected by additional factors that are not presently known to us or that we currently consider to be immaterial to our operations.

In addition, this section sets forth statements which constitute our cautionary statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Forward-Looking Statements

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor from civil litigation for forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements may be identified by words such as “estimates,” “anticipates,” “predicts,” “projects,” “plans,” “expects,” “intends,” “target,” “forecast,” “believes,” “seeks,” “could,” “should,” “may” and “will” or the negative versions thereof and similar expressions and by the context in which they are used. Such statements are based upon current expectations of Cintas and speak only as of the date made. We cannot guarantee that any forward-looking statement will be realized. These statements are subject to various risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ from those set forth in or implied by this Annual Report. Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, the possibility of greater than anticipated operating costs including energy costs, lower sales volumes, loss of customers due to outsourcing trends, the performance and costs of integration of acquisitions, fluctuations in costs of materials and labor including increased medical costs, costs and possible effects of union organizing activities, failure to comply with government regulations concerning employment discrimination, employee pay and benefits and employee health and safety, uncertainties regarding any existing or newly-discovered expenses and liabilities related to environmental compliance and remediation, the cost, results and ongoing assessment of internal controls for financial reporting required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the initiation or outcome of litigation, higher assumed sourcing or distribution costs of products, the disruption of operations from catastrophic events, changes in federal and state tax laws and the reactions of competitors in terms of price and service. Cintas undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information or to reflect events or circumstances arising after the date on which they are made. You are advised, however, to consult any further disclosures we make on related subjects in our Form 10-Q and 8-K reports to the SEC.

Also note that we provide the following cautionary discussion of risks, uncertainties and possibly inaccurate assumptions relevant to our businesses. These are factors that, individually or in the aggregate, we think could cause our actual results to differ materially from expected and historical results. We note these factors for investors as permitted by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You should understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors. The risks and uncertainties described herein are not the only ones we may face. Additional risks and uncertainties presently not known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial may also harm our business. Consequently, you should not consider the following to be a complete discussion of all potential risks or uncertainties.

General economic factors may adversely affect our financial performance.

General economic conditions, in North America and globally, may adversely affect our financial performance. Higher levels of unemployment, inflation, tax rates and other changes in tax laws and other economic factors could adversely affect the demand for Cintas products and services. Increases in labor costs including healthcare and insurance costs, labor shortages or shortages of skilled labor, higher material costs for items such as fabrics and textiles, higher fuel and other energy costs, higher interest rates, inflation, higher tax rates and other changes in tax laws and other economic factors could increase our costs of rentals and other services and selling and administrative expenses and could adversely affect our results of operations.

Increased competition could adversely affect our financial performance.

We operate in highly competitive industries and compete with national, regional and local providers. Product, design, price, quality, service and convenience to the customer are the competitive elements in these industries. If existing or future competitors seek to gain or retain market share by reducing prices, Cintas may be required to lower prices, which would hurt our results of operations. Cintas’ competitors also generally compete with Cintas for acquisition candidates, which can increase the price for acquisitions and reduce the number of available acquisition candidates. In addition, our customers and prospects may decide to perform certain services in-house instead of outsourcing these services to Cintas. These competitive pressures could adversely affect our sales and results of operations.

Risks associated with the suppliers from whom our products are sourced could adversely affect our results of operations.

The products we sell are sourced from a wide variety of domestic and international suppliers. Global sourcing of many of the products we sell is an important factor in our financial performance. We require all of our suppliers to comply with applicable laws, including labor and environmental laws, and otherwise be certified as meeting our required supplier standards of conduct. Our ability to find qualified suppliers who meet our standards, and to access products in a timely and efficient manner is a significant challenge, especially with respect to suppliers located and goods sourced outside the United States. Political and economic stability in the countries in which foreign suppliers are located, the financial stability of suppliers, suppliers’ failure to meet our supplier standards, labor problems experienced by our suppliers, the availability of raw materials to suppliers, currency exchange rates, transport availability and cost, inflation and other factors relating to the suppliers and the countries in which they are located are beyond our control. In addition, United States and Canadian foreign trade policies, tariffs and other impositions on imported goods, trade sanctions imposed on certain countries, the limitation on the importation of certain types of goods or of goods containing certain materials from other countries and other factors relating to foreign trade are beyond our control. These and other factors affecting our suppliers and our access to products could adversely affect our results of operations.

An inability to open new, cost effective operating facilities may adversely affect our expansion efforts.

We plan to expand our presence in existing markets and enter new markets. The opening of new operating facilities is necessary to gain the capacity required for this expansion. Our ability to open new operating facilities depends on our ability to identify attractive locations, negotiate leases or real estate purchase agreements on acceptable terms, identify and obtain adequate utility and water sources, and comply with environmental regulations, zoning laws and other similar factors. Any inability to effectively identify and manage these items may adversely affect our expansion efforts, and, consequently, adversely affect our financial performance.

Unionization campaigns could adversely affect our results of operations.

Cintas continues to be the target of a corporate unionization campaign by several unions. These unions are attempting to pressure Cintas into surrendering our employees' rights to a government-supervised election by unilaterally accepting union representation. We continue to vigorously oppose this campaign and defend our employees' rights to a government-supervised election. This campaign could be materially disruptive to our business and could materially adversely affect our results of operations.

Within our Document Management business, we handle customers’ confidential information. Our failure to protect our customers’ confidential information against security breaches could damage our reputation, harm our business and adversely impact our results of operations.

Our Document Management business includes both document destruction and document storage services. These services involve the handling of our customers’ confidential information and the subsequent shredding or storage of this information. Any compromise of security, accidental loss or theft of customer data in our possession could damage our reputation and expose us to risk of liability, which could harm our business and adversely impact our results of operations.

Compliance with environmental laws and regulations could result in significant costs that adversely affect our results of operations.

Our operating locations are subject to environmental laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment and health and safety matters, including those governing discharges of pollutants to the air and water, the management and disposal of hazardous substances and wastes and the clean-up of contaminated sites. The operation of our businesses entails risks under environmental laws and regulations. We could incur significant costs, including clean-up costs, fines and sanctions and claims by third parties for property damage and personal injury, as a result of violations of or liabilities under these laws and regulations. We are currently involved in a limited number of remedial investigations and actions at various locations. While, based on information currently known to us, we believe that we maintain adequate reserves with respect to these matters, our liability could exceed forecasted amounts, and the imposition of additional clean-up obligations or the discovery of additional contamination at these or other sites could result in additional costs. In addition, potentially significant expenditures could be required to comply with environmental laws and regulations, including requirements that may be adopted or imposed in the future.

Under environmental laws, an owner or operator of real estate may be required to pay the costs of removing or remediating hazardous materials located on or emanating from property, whether or not the owner or operator knew of or was responsible for the presence of such hazardous materials. While Cintas regularly engages in environmental due diligence in connection with acquisitions, we can give no assurance that locations that have been acquired or leased have been operated in compliance with environmental laws and regulations during prior periods or that future uses or conditions will not make us liable under these laws or expose us to third-party actions including tort suits.

We are subject to legal proceedings that may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

We are party to various litigation claims and legal proceedings. Certain of these lawsuits or potential future lawsuits, if decided adversely to us or settled by us, may result in liability material to our financial condition and results of operations. We discuss these lawsuits and other litigation to which we are party in greater detail below under the caption “Item 3. Legal Proceedings” and in Note 12 entitled Litigation and Other Contingencies of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.”

Failure to comply with the regulations of the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration and other state and local agencies that oversee safety compliance could adversely affect our results of operations.

The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, as amended, or “OSHA”, establishes certain employer responsibilities, including maintenance of a workplace free of recognized hazards likely to cause death or serious injury, compliance with standards promulgated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and various record keeping, disclosure and procedural requirements. Various OSHA standards may apply to our operations. We have incurred, and will continue to incur, capital and operating expenditures and other costs in the ordinary course of our business in complying with OSHA and other state and local laws and regulations. The failure to comply with these regulations could result in fines by government authorities, payment of damages to private litigants and affect our ability to service our customers.

Risks associated with our acquisition policy could adversely affect our results of operations.

Historically, a portion of our growth has come from acquisitions. We continue to evaluate opportunities for acquiring businesses that may supplement our internal growth. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to locate and purchase suitable acquisitions. In addition, the success of any acquisition depends in part on our ability to integrate the acquired company. The process of integrating acquired businesses may involve unforeseen difficulties and may require a disproportionate amount of our management’s attention and our financial and other resources. Although we conduct due diligence investigations prior to each acquisition, there can be no assurance that we will discover all material liabilities of an acquired business for which we may be responsible as a successor owner or operator. The failure to successfully integrate these acquired businesses or to discover such liabilities could adversely affect our results of operations.

We may experience difficulties in attracting and retaining competent personnel in key positions.

We believe that a key component of our success is our corporate culture which has been imparted by management throughout our corporate organization. This factor, along with our entire operation, depends on our ability to attract and retain key employees. Competitive pressures within and outside our industry may make it more difficult and expensive for us to attract and retain key employees.

Unexpected events could disrupt our operations and adversely affect our results of operations.

Unexpected events, including fires or explosions at facilities, natural disasters such as hurricanes and tornados, war or terrorist activities, unplanned outages, supply disruptions, failure of equipment or systems or changes in laws and/or regulations impacting our business, could adversely affect our results of operations. These events could result in customer disruption, physical damage to one or more key operating facilities, the temporary closure of one or more key operating facilities or the temporary disruption of information systems.

Failure to achieve and maintain effective internal controls could adversely affect our business and stock price.

Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. While we continue to evaluate our internal controls, we cannot be certain that these measures will ensure that we implement and maintain adequate controls over our financial processes and reporting in the future. If we fail to maintain the adequacy of our internal controls or if we or our independent registered public accounting firm were to discover material weaknesses in our internal controls, as such standards are modified, supplemented or amended, we may not be able to ensure that we can conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Failure to achieve and maintain an effective internal control environment could cause us to be unable to produce reliable financial reports or prevent fraud. This may cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a material adverse effect on our stock price.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments

Cintas has not received any written comments from the SEC Staff regarding its periodic or current reports within 180 days prior to the end of the fiscal year ended May 31, 2007.

Item 2. Properties

Cintas occupies 414 facilities located in 280 cities. Cintas leases 210 of these facilities for various terms ranging from monthly to the year 2016. Cintas expects that it will be able to renew its leases on satisfactory terms. Of the eleven manufacturing facilities listed below, Cintas controls the operations of three of these manufacturing facilities, but does not own or lease the real estate related to these operations. All other facilities are owned. The corporate office provides centrally located administrative functions including accounting, finance, marketing and computer system development and support. Cintas operates rental processing plants that house administrative, sales and service personnel and the necessary equipment involved in the cleaning of uniforms and bulk items, such as entrance mats and shop towels. Branch operations provide administrative, sales and service functions. Cintas operates seven distribution centers and eleven manufacturing facilities. Cintas also operates first aid, safety and fire protection and document management facilities and direct sales offices. Cintas considers the facilities it operates to be adequate for their intended use. Cintas owns or leases approximately 14,000 vehicles.

Part II

Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

Market Information

Cintas’ Common Stock is traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol “CTAS”. The following table shows the high and low closing prices of shares of Cintas’ Common Stock by quarter during the last two fiscal years:

Fiscal 2007
Quarter Ended	High		Low

May 2007	$	40.51	$	35.95
February 2007		42.81		39.71
November 2006		43.63		37.39
August 2006		42.54		34.92

Fiscal 2006
Quarter Ended	High		Low

May 2006	$	44.30	$	39.90
February 2006		45.40		39.78
November 2005		45.17		38.31
August 2005		45.49		37.51

Holders

At May 31, 2007, there were approximately 2,500 shareholders of record of Cintas’ Common Stock. Cintas believes that this represents approximately 65,000 beneficial owners.

Dividends

Dividends on the outstanding Common Stock have been paid annually and amounted to $0.39 per share, $0.35 per share and $0.32 per share in fiscal 2007, fiscal 2006 and fiscal 2005, respectively.

Stock Performance Graph

The following graph summarizes the cumulative return on $100 invested in Cintas’ Common Stock, the S&P 500 Stock Index and the common stocks of a selected peer group of companies. Prior to fiscal 2007, Cintas compared its common stock returns to the three largest publicly traded companies engaged primarily in the uniform related industry determined by net assets at year end (Old Peer Group). The companies included in the Old Peer Group were Aramark Corporation, G & K Services, Inc. and UniFirst Corporation. On or about January 26, 2007, Aramark Corporation ceased being listed on a public stock exchange. As a result, Cintas made the change to a new peer group (New Peer Group). Because our products and services are diverse, Cintas does not believe that any single published industry index is appropriate for comparing shareholder return. Therefore, the New Peer Group used in the performance graph combines four publicly traded companies in the business services industry that have similar characteristics as Cintas, such as route based delivery of products and services. The companies included in the New Peer Group are G & K Services, Inc., UniFirst Corporation, ABM Industries and Ecolab, Inc.

Total shareholder return was based on the increase in the price of the stock and assumed reinvestment of all dividends. Further, total return was weighted according to market capitalization of each company. The companies in the New Peer Group are not the same as those considered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities; Uses of Proceeds from Registered Securities

None in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007.

Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchases

On May 2, 2005, Cintas announced that the Board of Directors authorized a $500 million stock buyback program at market prices. In July 2006, Cintas announced that the Board of Directors approved the expansion of its share buyback program by an additional $500 million. The Board of Directors did not specify an expiration date for the stock buyback program.

During fiscal 2007, Cintas purchased 4.8 million shares of Cintas stock at an average price of $41.38 per share, for a total purchase price of approximately $199 million.

Period	Total number of shares purchased		Average price paid per share		Total number of shares purchased as part of the publicly announced plan		Maximum approximate dollar value of shares that may yet be purchased under the plan

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Business Strategy

Cintas provides highly specialized products and services to businesses of all types throughout the United States and Canada. We refer to ourselves as “The Service Professionals.” We bring value to our customers by helping them provide a cleaner, safer, more pleasant atmosphere for their customers and employees. Our products and services are designed to improve our customers’ image. We also help our customers protect their employees and their company by enhancing workplace safety and helping to ensure legal compliance in key areas of their business.

We are North America's leading provider of corporate identity uniforms through rental and sales programs, as well as a significant provider of related business services, including entrance mats, restroom products and services, first aid, safety and fire protection products and services, document management services and branded promotional products.

Our business strategy is to achieve revenue growth for all of our products and services by increasing our penetration at existing customers and by broadening our customer base to include business segments to which Cintas has not historically served. We will also continue to identify additional product and service opportunities for our current and future customers. Our long-term goal is to provide a product or service to every business in North America.

To pursue the strategy of increasing penetration, we have a highly talented and diverse team of service professionals visiting our customers on a regular basis. This frequent contact with our customers enables us to develop close personal relationships. The combination of our distribution system and these strong customer relationships provides a platform from which we launch additional products and services.

We pursue the strategy of broadening our customer base in a few ways. Cintas has a national sales organization introducing all of our products and services to prospects in all business segments. Our ever expanding range of products and services allows our sales organization to consider any type of business a prospect. We also broaden our customer base through geographic expansion, especially in our emerging businesses of first aid and safety, fire protection and document management. Finally, we will continue to evaluate strategic acquisitions as opportunities arise.

Continuous cost containment and product and process innovation are considered hallmarks of our organization. In order to sustain these efforts, we employ a Six Sigma effort within Cintas. Six Sigma is an analytical process that assists companies in improving quality and customer satisfaction while reducing cycle time and operating costs. We are pleased with our progress in this endeavor and are optimistic about the improved efficiencies that this process will continue to yield to Cintas.

Results of Operations

Fiscal 2007 marked the 38^th consecutive year of uninterrupted growth in sales and profits for Cintas. In addition to achieving this milestone, Cintas increased its diluted earnings per share by 8.9% and its dividends paid to shareholders by 11.4%. During fiscal 2007, we reorganzied our sales efforts to become more efficient and productive. This reorganization effort has taken longer and been more costly in fiscal 2007 than anticipated. However, Cintas continues to believe that this reorganization will benefit revenue growth results in the long-term.

Cintas classifies its businesses into two operating segments, Rentals and Other Services, based on the similar economic and organizational characteristics of the products and services within each segment. The Rentals segment reflects the rental and servicing of uniforms and other garments, mats, mops and shop towels. In addition to these rental items, we also provide our restroom and hygiene products and services within this segment. The Other Services segment consists of the direct sale of uniforms and related items, first aid, safety and fire protection products and services, document management services and branded promotional products. Both segments provide these products and services 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.

The following table sets forth certain consolidated statements of income data as a percentage of revenue by segment and in total for the periods indicated:

	2007		2006		2005

As evidenced above, our revenue growth continues to be higher in the Other Services segment versus the Rentals segment, resulting in a moderate shift in the percentage of revenue between our segments. This shift was mainly driven by the acquisitions of first aid, safety and fire protection businesses and document management businesses. Information related to acquisitions is discussed in Note 8 entitled Acquisitions of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.”

Fiscal 2007 Compared to Fiscal 2006

Fiscal 2007 total revenue was $3.7 billion, an increase of 8.9% over fiscal 2006. Internal growth was 5.3% in fiscal 2007, compared to 7.8% in fiscal 2006. This decline in internal growth is due to economic pressure experienced throughout the year from the continued off-shoring of manufacturing jobs as well as the ripple effect felt at other customers that serve these manufacturing businesses. In addition, the reorganization of our sales force has taken longer in the current year than we anticipated. Our internal growth continues to be generated mainly through the sale of uniform rental programs to new customers and the increased penetration of ancillary products to our existing customer base. The remaining growth in total revenue was generated predominantly through acquisitions of rental, first aid, safety and fire protection service businesses and document management businesses. Information related to acquisitions is discussed in Note 8 entitled Acquisitions of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.”

comprised of customers who were first time users of uniform rental programs. The remaining growth of 2.3% in fiscal 2007 resulted from the acquisition of rental volume.

Other Services segment revenues are predominantly derived from the design, manufacture and direct sale of uniforms and related items, first aid, safety and fire protection products and services, document management services and branded promotional products. The Other Services segment revenue increased 16.5% over fiscal 2006. Internal growth in the Other Services segment was 8.6% in fiscal 2007. This internal growth was mainly due to an increase in the customer base and through further penetration of first aid, safety and fire protection products and services and document management services into our existing customer base. The remaining revenue growth of 7.9% was generated through the acquisitions of first aid, safety and fire protection businesses and document management businesses.

Cost of rentals increased 7.7% over fiscal 2006. Cost of rentals consists primarily of production expenses, delivery expenses and the amortization of in service inventory, including uniforms, mats, shop towels and other rental items. The cost increase over fiscal 2006 was primarily driven by the growth in Rentals segment revenues. In addition, delivery labor increased $34.1 million due to increased Rentals segment revenue and the introduction of our restroom cleaning service. As a result, cost of rentals as a percent of Rentals segment revenues increased to 55.4% in fiscal 2007 compared to 54.8% in fiscal 2006.

Cost of other services increased 12.6% over fiscal 2006. Cost of other services consists primarily of cost of goods sold (predominantly uniforms and first aid products), delivery expenses and distribution expenses. The increase over fiscal 2006 was due to the growth in Other Services revenue, derived through a combination of internal growth and acquisitions. Gross margin within this segment may fluctuate depending on the type of product or service sold, as more cost efficient sourcing is employed and as products which require additional services or specialization generate higher gross margins. For example, tailored garments that incorporate high levels of design and customization tend to generate higher gross margins than work wear and standard catalog items. The gross margin for fiscal 2007 is 37.2%. The gross margin for the Other Services segment has historically been in the 30% to 35% range. However, a combination of economies of scale at growing operations, Six Sigma, sourcing improvements and other cost containment initiatives have allowed us to exceed this historical range. Due to the success of these initiatives and our continued efforts, we believe the future gross margins will be in the 35% to 40% range.

Selling and administrative expenses increased 10.1% over fiscal 2006. Selling and administrative expenses increased mainly due to higher selling expenses. In fiscal 2007, we reorganized our sales efforts to become more efficient and productive in the long-term. This reorganization, as well as increased marketing plans and sales promotions, combined to increase our selling costs by $32.6 million over the prior fiscal year. The cost of providing medical and retirement benefits to our employees increased $21.8 million, representing a 15.7% increase over the prior year. In addition, administrative expenses increased by $7.1 million due to the amortization of intangibles generated by new acquisitions and $6.2 million as a result of an increase in professional services relating to legal and the outsourcing of certain human resource functions. We also terminated a cash settled forward starting interest rate swap (forward starting swap) resulting in a $6.2 million reduction of administrative expenses. This forward starting swap is explained in more detail in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section below.

Net interest expense (interest expense less interest income) increased $18.8 million from the prior fiscal year. This increase was primarily a result of increased interest expense from higher debt outstanding as a result of our share buybacks.

Income before income tax was $533.6 million, a 3.0% increase over fiscal 2006. Income before income tax from the Rentals segment decreased 0.1% over the prior year due to higher selling expenses associated with the reorganization of the sales force and higher delivery labor primarily as a result of our restroom cleaning service. Income before income tax for the Other Services segment increased 45.7% from the prior year mainly due to increased revenue and cost containment initiatives.

Cintas' effective tax rate was 37.3% for fiscal 2007, as compared to 37.6% for fiscal 2006 (see also Note 7 entitled Income Taxes of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements”).

Net income for fiscal 2007 of $334.5 million was a 3.4% increase over fiscal 2006, and diluted earnings per share of $2.09 was an 8.9% increase over fiscal 2006. The increase in diluted earnings per share was greater than the increase in net income due to the impact of the share buyback program, which is discussed in more detail in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section below. Return on average equity was 15.7% in fiscal 2007 and 15.4% in fiscal 2006. Return on average equity is computed as net income divided by the average of shareholders’ equity.

We believe that this calculation gives management and shareholders a good indication of Cintas’ historical performance.

Fiscal 2006 Compared to Fiscal 2005

Certain amounts below have been restated for the effects of the adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 123(R), Shared-Based Payment, using the modified-retrospective method. See the Stock-based compensation section below within Critical Accounting Policies for further information.

Fiscal 2006 total revenue was $3.4 billion, an increase of 11.0% over fiscal 2005. Internal growth improved in fiscal 2006 to 7.8%, up from 6.3% in fiscal 2005. Our internal growth continues to be generated mainly through the continued sale of uniform rental programs to new customers and the increased penetration of ancillary products to our existing customer base. The remaining growth in total revenue was generated predominantly through acquisitions of rental, first aid, safety and fire protection service businesses and document management businesses. Information related to acquisitions is discussed in Note 8 entitled Acquisitions of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.”

Rentals segment revenues consist predominantly of revenues derived from the rental of corporate identity uniforms and other garments, and the rental and/or sale of mats, mops, shop towels, restroom supplies and other rental services. Revenue from the Rentals segment increased 8.7% over fiscal 2005. The increase in Rentals segment revenue was primarily due to growth in the customer base as well as the continued penetration of ancillary products into our existing customer base. New business remained healthy as we experienced continued success in selling rental programs to new customers. We also continued to expand our rental market, with over half of our new business being comprised of customers who were first time users of uniform rental programs. Internal revenue growth for the Rentals segment was 7.3% in fiscal 2006 compared to 6.8% in fiscal 2005. We estimate that the effects of hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Wilma negatively impacted our Rentals segment internal growth rate by approximately 0.3%. The 1.4% of remaining growth in fiscal 2006 resulted from the acquisition of rental volume.

Internal revenue in the Other Services segment increased 9.6% over fiscal 2005. This increase was mainly driven by the growth of the sale of first aid, safety and fire protection products and services and document management services. We estimate that the effects of hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Wilma negatively impacted our Other Services segment internal growth rate by approximately 0.4%. Growth in the Other Services segment continues to be through an increase in the customer base and through further penetration of additional products and services into our existing customer base.

Cost of rentals increased 8.6% over fiscal 2005. Cost of rentals consists primarily of production expenses, delivery expenses and the amortization of in service inventory, including uniforms, mats, shop towels and other rental items. The cost increase over fiscal 2005 was primarily driven by the growth in Rentals segment revenues. However, rising energy costs also contributed to this increase. Rentals segment energy costs increased 31.7% in fiscal 2006, from $77.6 million in fiscal 2005 to $102.2 million in fiscal 2006. Various cost containment initiatives implemented throughout the year helped offset the significant increase in energy costs. As a result, cost of rentals as of percent of Rentals segment revenues remained at 54.8% in both fiscal 2006 and fiscal 2005.

Increases in energy costs will continue to impact our results of operations negatively in coming quarters, except to the extent we are able to offset such costs with price increases and increased operating efficiencies. Our New Orleans rental operation and Gulf Coast direct sale business continue to be impacted negatively by hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Wilma. While physical damage to our facilities was minimal, many of our customers in the region have yet to reopen or to return to pre-hurricane staffing levels. This lower business volume will continue to have an impact on our results. We are actively pursuing recoupment of our losses related to these hurricanes with our insurance carrier. We do not yet have a clear indication of when a recoupment agreement will be resolved, nor can we be sure of the amount we will receive.

Cost of other services increased 16.2% over fiscal 2005. Cost of other services consists primarily of cost of goods sold (predominantly uniforms and first aid products), delivery expenses and distribution expenses. The increase over fiscal 2005 was due to the growth in Other Services segment revenue, derived through a combination of internal growth and acquisitions. Gross margin within this segment may fluctuate depending on the type of product or service sold, as more cost efficient sourcing is employed and as products which require additional services or specialization generate higher gross margins. For example, tailored garments that incorporate high levels of design and customization tend to generate higher gross margins than work wear and standard catalog items. The gross margin for fiscal 2006 is 35.1%. The gross margin for the Other Services segment has historically been in the 30% to 35% range. However, Six Sigma and other cost containment initiatives have allowed us to exceed this historical range. Due to the success of these initiatives and our continued efforts, we believe the future gross margins will be in the 32% to 37% range.

Selling and administrative expenses increased 11.4% over fiscal 2005. Selling and administrative expenses increased mainly due to higher selling expenses. In order to accelerate revenue growth, we have increased our sales force, marketing plans and sales promotions. These measures combined to increase our selling costs by $24.0 million over the prior fiscal year. The cost of providing medical and retirement benefits to our employees increased $17.0 million, representing a 13.9% increase over the prior year. In addition, administrative expenses increased by $4.7 million as a result of an increase in the bad debt reserve and by $11.8 million as a result of an increase in professional services relating to legal and the outsourcing of certain human resource functions. Administrative expenses also increased by $5.2 million due to the amortization of intangibles generated by new acquisitions.

Net interest expense (interest expense less interest income) increased $7.5 million from the prior fiscal year. This increase in net interest expense is due to increased interest rates on our outstanding debt and the increased level of borrowing used to fund acquisitions and the stock buyback program.

Income before income tax was $518.0 million, a 10.4% increase over fiscal 2005. Income before income tax from the Rentals segment increased 9.5% over the prior year due to higher rental revenue and various cost containment initiatives, which offset the increases in selling expenses, medical and energy costs. Income before income tax for the Other Services segment increased 27.0% from the prior year mainly due to increased revenue and cost containment initiatives.

Cintas' effective tax rate was 37.6% for both fiscal 2006 and fiscal 2005 (see also Note 7 entitled Income Taxes of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements”).

Net income for fiscal 2006 of $323.4 million was a 10.5% increase over fiscal 2005, and diluted earnings per share of $1.92 was a 13.6% increase over fiscal 2005. The increase in diluted earnings per share was greater than the increase in net income due to the impact of the share buyback program, which is discussed in more detail in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section below. Return on average equity was 15.4% in fiscal 2006 and 14.7% in fiscal 2005. Return on average equity is computed as net income divided by the average of shareholders’ equity. We believe that this calculation gives management and shareholders a good indication of Cintas’ historical performance.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At May 31, 2007, Cintas had $155.4 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, representing a decrease of $86.0 million from May 31, 2006, or 35.6%. This decrease is primarily due to acquisitions and the share buyback program. Cash generated from operations was $449.4 million in fiscal 2007 as compared to $461.0 million generated in fiscal 2006. This $11.6 million decrease was primarily due to increased inventory levels and increased taxes paid, offset by increased net income and lower rental items in service. Significant uses of cash in fiscal 2007 were capital expenditures of $180.8 million, acquisitions of $160.7 million (net of cash acquired), repurchases of common stock of $198.9 million and dividends of $62.0 million. Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities will be used to finance future acquisitions, capital expenditures, expansion and share buybacks.

Marketable securities consist primarily of municipal bonds and federal government securities. Cintas' investment policy pertaining to marketable securities is conservative. The criteria used in making investment decisions is the preservation of principal, while earning an attractive yield.

Accounts receivable increased $19.0 million, primarily due to increased revenues. The average collection period in fiscal 2007 remained comparable with fiscal 2006.

Inventories increased $33.7 million, or 17.0%. Inventory levels at May 31, 2006, were relatively low due to strong uniform sales in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006. The increase in inventory from May 31, 2006 to May 31, 2007, reflects a replenishment of inventory to more normalized levels.

Working capital decreased $14.0 million to $753.7 million in fiscal 2007. This decrease is primarily due to a decrease in marketable securities for the execution of the share buyback program.

Net property and equipment increased by $56.5 million due to continued investment in rental facilities and equipment and real estate purchased in conjunction with the acquisitions of rental, first aid, safety and fire protection and document management businesses. Capital expenditures for fiscal 2007 totaled $180.8 million, including $132.8 million for the Rentals segment and $48.0 million for the Other Services segment, exceeding depreciation expense by approximately $45.6 million. Cintas continues to reinvest in land, buildings and equipment in an effort to expand capacity for future growth. During the year, Cintas completed construction of two new uniform rental facilities and has an additional five uniform rental facilities in various stages of construction to accommodate growth in rental operations. Cintas anticipates that capital expenditures for fiscal 2008 will be between $170.0 and $190.0 million.

Long-term debt totaled $877.1 million at May 31, 2007. This amount includes $225.0 million in long-term debt due on June 1, 2007, that was refinanced effective June 1, 2007, under Cintas’ existing commercial paper program. Long-term debt also includes $225.0 million of ten-year senior notes at a rate of 6.0% which was borrowed in order to finance the Omni acquisition in fiscal 2002 and $250.0 million of thirty-year senior notes issued in August 2006 at a rate of 6.15%. Proceeds from the thirty-year senior notes issuance were used to extinguish outstanding commercial paper at the time of that debt issuance. Cintas has earned credit ratings on these notes of “A” from Standard & Poor’s and “A2” from Moody’s. In addition, long-term debt also includes $168.0 million in commercial paper. Cintas utilizes a $600.0 million commercial paper program, on which it has earned credit ratings of “A-1” from Standard & Poor’s and “Prime-1” from Moody’s. We believe these ratings are reflective of our commitment to conservative financial policies, strong financial management and a disciplined integration strategy for acquisitions. The commercial paper program is fully supported by a long-term credit facility that matures in fiscal 2011.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2006, Cintas entered into a forward starting swap to protect forecasted interest payments from interest rate movement in anticipation of a $200.0 million, 30-year debt issuance in early fiscal 2008. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007, Cintas changed its intent on issuing this 30-year debt. This decision was based on current market conditions and interest rate environment as well as the additional payment flexibility provided to Cintas under its commercial paper program. As a result of this decision, Cintas terminated the forward starting swap and recorded the resulting $6.2 million gain in fiscal 2007 as a reduction of administrative expenses.

Cintas’ total debt to capitalization ratio has increased from 27.6% at May 31, 2006, to 28.9% at May 31, 2007. Total debt increased $82.4 million in fiscal 2007 through the net activity of debt issuance noted above (see Note 5 entitled Long-Term Debt and Note 8 entitled Acquisitions of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements”). This additional indebtedness was used to execute the share buyback program. During fiscal 2007, Cintas bought back $198.9 million of Cintas stock.

During the year, Cintas paid dividends of $62.0 million, or $0.39 per share. On a per share basis, this dividend is an increase of 11.4% over the dividend paid in fiscal 2006. This marks the 24^th consecutive year that Cintas has increased its annual dividend since going public in 1983.

On May 2, 2005, Cintas announced that the Board of Directors authorized a $500.0 million stock buyback program at market prices. In July 2006, Cintas announced that the Board of Directors approved the expansion of its share buyback program by an additional $500.0 million. During fiscal 2007, Cintas purchased 4.8 million shares of Cintas stock at an average price of $41.38 per share, for a total purchase price of approximately $198.9 million. From the inception of the stock buyback program through July 27, 2007, Cintas has purchased 14.2 million shares of Cintas stock at an average price of $40.89 per share for a total purchase price of approximately $580.6 million. The Board of Directors did not specify an expiration date for this program.

Cintas also makes payments to defined contribution plans. The amounts of contributions made to the plans are made at the discretion of Cintas. Future contributions are expected to increase 10% annually. Assuming this 10% increase, payments due in one year or less would be $31,986, two to three years would be $73,887 and four to five years would be $89,404. Payments for years thereafter are expected to continue increasing by 10% each year.

Cintas has no off-balance sheet arrangements other than the synthetic lease on a corporate jet. The synthetic lease on the aircraft does not currently have, and is not reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on Cintas’ financial condition, changes in Cintas’ financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Inflation and Changing Prices

Changes in wages, benefits and energy costs have the potential to materially impact Cintas’ financial results. Medical benefits and energy costs, in particular, continue to rise. Medical benefit costs have increased due to a combination of rising healthcare costs and an increase in the number of covered participants. Medical benefits were 3.4% of total revenues in fiscal 2007 and 3.2% of total revenues in fiscal 2006. Energy costs were 3.3% of total revenues in fiscal 2007 and 3.4% of total revenues in fiscal 2006.

Management believes inflation has not had a material impact on Cintas' financial condition or a negative impact on operations.

Litigation and Other Contingencies

Cintas is subject to legal proceedings 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 financial position or results of operations 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, Paul Veliz, et al. v. Cintas Corporation, 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 August 23, 2005, an amended complaint was filed alleging additional state law wage and hour claims under the following state laws: Arkansas, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Mexico, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Washington, West Virginia and Wisconsin. The plaintiffs are seeking unspecified monetary damages, injunctive relief or both. Cintas denies these claims and is defending the plaintiffs’ allegations. On February 14, 2006, the court ordered a majority of the opt-in plaintiffs to arbitrate their claims in accordance with the terms of their Cintas employment agreement. On February 14, 2006, the court also permitted plaintiffs to file a second amended complaint alleging state law claims in the 15 states listed above only with respect to the putative class members that may litigate their claims in court. No determination has been made by the court or an arbitrator regarding class certification. There can be no assurance as to whether a class will be certified or, if a class is certified, as to the geographic or other scope of such class. If a court or arbitrator certifies a class in this action and there is an adverse verdict on the merits, or in the event of a negotiated settlement of the action, the resulting liability and/or any increased costs of operations on an ongoing basis could be material to Cintas. Any estimated liability relating to this lawsuit is not determinable at this time.

Cintas also is a defendant in a purported class action lawsuit, Mirna E. Serrano, et al. v. Cintas Corporation, filed on May 10, 2004, and pending in the United States District Court, Eastern District of Michigan, Southern Division (Serrano). Serrano alleges that Cintas discriminated against women in hiring into various service sales representative positions across all divisions of Cintas throughout the United States. 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. Cintas is a defendant in another purported class action lawsuit, Nelly Blanca Avalos, et al. v. Cintas Corporation, currently pending in the United States District Court, Eastern District of Michigan, Southern Division (Avalos). Avalos alleges 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. On April 27, 2005, the EEOC intervened in the claims asserted in Avalos. The Avalos plaintiffs seek injunctive relief, compensatory damages, punitive damages, attorneys’ fees and other remedies. The claims in Avalos originally were brought in the previously disclosed lawsuit captioned Robert Ramirez, et al. v. Cintas Corporation, filed on January 20, 2004, in the United States District Court, Northern District of California, San Francisco Division (Ramirez). On May 11, 2006, however, those claims were severed from Ramirez and transferred to the Eastern District of Michigan, Southern Division, where the case was re-named Avalos. On July 10, 2006, Avalos and Serrano were consolidated for all pretrial purposes, including proceedings on class certification. The consolidated case is known as Mirna E. Serrano/Blanca Nelly Avalos, et al. v. Cintas Corporation, and remains pending in the United States District Court, Eastern District of Michigan, Southern Division. No filings or determinations have been made in Serrano/Avalos as to class certification. There can be no assurance as to whether a class will be certified or, if a class is certified, as to the geographic or other scope of such class. The non-service sales representative hiring claims in the previously disclosed Ramirez case that have not been dismissed remain pending in the Northern District of California, San Francisco Division, but were ordered to arbitration and stayed pending the completion of arbitration. The Ramirez purported class action claims currently in arbitration

include allegations that Cintas failed to promote Hispanics into supervisory positions, discriminated against African-Americans and Hispanics in service sales representative route assignments and discriminated against African-Americans in hourly pay in Cintas’ Rental division only throughout the United States. The Ramirez plaintiffs seek injunctive relief, compensatory damages, punitive damages, attorneys’ fees and other remedies. No filings or determinations have been made in Ramirez as to class certification. There can be no assurance as to whether a class will be certified or, if a class is certified, as to the geographic or other scope of such class. On February 24, 2006, a motion to intervene in Serrano was filed by intervening plaintiffs Colleen Grindle, et al., on behalf of a subclass of female employees at Cintas’ Perrysburg, Ohio rental location who allegedly were denied hire, promotion or transfer to service sales representative positions. On March 24, 2006, plaintiffs Colleen Grindle, et. al. withdrew their motion to intervene without prejudice. On February 20, 2007, the plaintiffs Colleen Grindle, et. al. filed a separate lawsuit in the Court of Common Pleas, Wood County, Ohio, captioned Colleen Grindle, et al. v. Cintas Corporation (Grindle), on behalf of a class of female employees at Cintas’ Perrysburg, Ohio location who allegedly were denied hire, promotion or transfer to service sales representative positions on the basis of their gender. The Grindle plaintiffs seek injunctive relief, compensatory damages, punitive damages, attorneys’ fees and other remedies. No filings or determinations have been made in Grindle as to class certification. There can be no assurance as to whether a class will be certified or, if a class is certified, as to the geographic or other scope of such class. In addition, a class action lawsuit, Larry Houston, et al. v. Cintas Corporation, was filed on August 3, 2005, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California on behalf of African-American managers alleging racial discrimination (Houston). On November 22, 2005, the court entered an order requiring the named plaintiffs in the Houston lawsuit to arbitrate all of their claims for monetary damages. If there is an adverse verdict or a negotiated settlement of all or any of these actions, the resulting liability and/or any increased costs of operations on an ongoing basis could be material to Cintas. Any estimated liability relating to these proceedings is not determinable at this time.

Other similar administrative proceedings are pending including two charges filed on November 30, 2004, by an EEOC Commissioner with the EEOC Systemic Litigation Unit alleging: (i) failure to hire and assign females to production job positions; and (ii) failure to hire females, African-Americans and Hispanics into the Management Trainee program. The investigations of these allegations are pending and no determinations have been made. On August 29, 2006, the EEOC Indianapolis District Office issued a dismissal and notice of rights and closed its file on the Clifton Cooper charge served on Cintas on March 23, 2005, by Cooper on behalf of himself and a similarly situated class with the EEOC Systemic Litigation Unit alleging discriminatory pay and treatment due to race. Mr. Cooper’s claims are now part of the Houston arbitration matter disclosed hereinabove.

Cintas is also a defendant in a lawsuit, J. Lester Alexander, III vs. Cintas Corporation, et al., which was originally filed on October 25, 2004, and is currently pending in the Circuit Court of Randolph County, Alabama. The case was brought by J. Lester Alexander, III, the Chapter 7 Trustee (the Trustee) of Terry Manufacturing Company, Inc. (TMC) and Terry Uniform Company, LLC (TUC), against Cintas in Randolph County, Alabama. The Trustee seeks damages against Cintas for allegedly breaching fiduciary duties to TMC and TUC and for allegedly aiding and abetting breaches of fiduciary duties by others to those entities. The complaint also includes allegations that Cintas breached certain limited liability company agreements, or alternatively, misrepresented its intention to perform its obligations in those agreements and acted as alter egos of the bankrupt TMC and is therefore liable for all of TMC's debts. The Trustee is seeking $50 million in compensatory damages and $100 million in punitive damages. Cintas denies these claims and is vigorously defending itself against all claims in the complaint. If there is an adverse verdict on the merits or in the event of a negotiated settlement of this lawsuit, the resulting liability could be material to Cintas. Any estimated liability relating to this lawsuit is not determinable at this time.

The litigation discussed above, if decided adversely to or settled by Cintas, may, individually or in the aggregate, result in liability material to Cintas’ financial condition or results of operations. 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 interests of Cintas’ shareholders.

Cintas is subject to various environmental laws and regulations, as are other companies in the industry. While environmental compliance is not a material component of our costs, Cintas must incur capital expenditures and associated operating costs, primarily for water treatment and waste removal, on a regular basis. Environmental spending related to water treatment and waste removal was approximately $16 million in fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006. Capital expenditures to limit or monitor hazardous substances were approximately $2 million in fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006. These expenditures were primarily related to the purchase of water treatment systems, which are depreciated over a useful life of ten years. Cintas does not expect a material change in the cost of environmental compliance on a percent to revenue basis and is not aware of any material non-compliance with environmental laws.

New Accounting Standards

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, which clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. This Interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Cintas will adopt this Interpretation on June 1, 2007, and is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of FIN 48 on its consolidated financial statements. Any necessary transition adjustments will not affect net income in the period of adoption and will be reported as a change in accounting principle in our consolidated financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of Cintas' consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and judgments that have a significant effect on the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. These critical accounting policies should be read in conjunction with Note 1 entitled Significant Accounting Policies of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.” Significant changes, estimates or assumptions related to any of the following critical accounting policies could possibly have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Revenue recognition

Rental revenue is recognized when services are performed and other services revenue is recognized when either services are performed or when products are shipped and the title and risks of ownership pass to the customer.

Allowance for doubtful accounts

Cintas establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts. This allowance is an estimate based on historical rates of collectibility. An uncollectible accounts provision is recorded for overdue amounts, beginning with a nominal percentage and increasing substantially as the account ages. The amount provided as the account ages will differ slightly between the Rentals and Other Services segments, because of differences in customers served and the nature of each segment.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. Substantially all inventories represent finished goods. Cintas applies a commonly accepted practice of using inventory turns to apply variances between actual to standard costs to the inventory balances. The judgments and estimates used to calculate inventory turns will have an impact on the valuation of inventory at the lower of cost or market. Inventory obsolescence is determined by specific identification, as well as an estimate based on historical rates of obsolescence.

Uniforms and other rental items in service

Uniforms and other rental items in service are valued at cost less amortization, calculated using the straight-line method. Uniforms in service (other than cleanroom and flame resistant garments) are amortized over their useful life of eighteen months. Other rental items including shop towels, mats, cleanroom garments, flame resistant garments, linens and restroom dispensers are amortized over their useful lives which range from eight to forty-eight months. The amortization rates used are based on industry experience, Cintas' experience and wear tests performed by Cintas. These factors are critical to determining the amount of in service inventory that is presented in the consolidated financial statements.

Property and equipment

Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which is typically thirty to forty years for buildings, five to twenty years for building improvements, three to ten years for equipment and two to five years for leasehold improvements. When events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of long-lived assets may not be recoverable, the estimated future cash flows (undiscounted) are

compared to the carrying amount of the assets. If the estimated future cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the assets, an impairment loss is recorded. The impairment loss is measured by comparing the fair value of the assets with their carrying amounts. Fair value is determined by discounted cash flows or appraised values, as appropriate. Long-lived assets that are held for disposal are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value, less estimated costs related to disposition.

Goodwill and impairment

Goodwill, obtained through acquisitions of businesses, is valued at cost less any impairment. Cintas performs annual impairment tests by segment. These tests include comparisons to current market values, where available, and discounted cash flow analyses. Significant assumptions include growth rates based on historical trends and margin improvement leveraged from such growth. Based on the results of the impairment tests, Cintas has not recognized an impairment of goodwill for the years ended May 31, 2007, 2006 or 2005.

Service contracts and other assets

Service contracts and other assets, which consist primarily of noncompete and consulting agreements obtained through acquisitions of businesses, are amortized by use of the straight-line method over the estimated lives of the agreements, which are generally five to ten years. Certain noncompete agreements, as well as all service contracts, require that a valuation be determined using a discounted cash flow model. The assumptions and judgments used in these models involve estimates of cash flows and discount rates, among other factors. Because of the assumptions used to value these intangible assets, actual results over time could vary from original estimates. Impairment of service contracts and other assets is through specific identification. No impairment has been recognized by Cintas for the years ended May 31, 2007, 2006 or 2005.

Stock-based compensation

At May 31, 2007, Cintas had an equity compensation plan, which is more fully described in Note 11 entitled Stock-Based Compensation of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.” Prior to June 1, 2006, Cintas accounted for this plan under the intrinsic value method proscribed by APB Opinion No. 25 (APB 25), Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations, as permitted by FASB Statement No. 123 (FAS 123), Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Effective June 1, 2006, Cintas adopted the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123(R) (FAS 123(R)), Share-Based Payment, using the modified-retrospective transition method. Under that transition method, all prior periods have been restated based on the amounts previously calculated in the pro forma footnote disclosures required by FAS 123. FAS 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including stock options, to be recognized as an expense in the consolidated statement of income based on their fair values. Due to this restatement, Cintas’ income before income taxes and net income decreased by $3.8 million for the year ended May 31, 2006, and $8.0 million for the year ended May 31, 2005. This adoption lowered basic earnings per share from $1.95 per share to $1.93 per share for fiscal 2006 and from $1.75 per share to $1.70 per share for fiscal 2005. In addition, diluted earnings per share were lowered from $1.94 per share to $1.92 per share for fiscal 2006 and from $1.74 per share to $1.69 per share for fiscal 2005. The cumulative effect of the change on paid-in-capital and retained earnings as of June 1, 2005, was $21,241 and ($39,567), respectively. The cumulative effect of the change on deferred taxes as of June 1, 2005, was less than $1million.

As a result of adopting FAS 123(R) on June 1, 2006, Cintas’ income before income taxes and net income for the year ended May 31, 2007, are $4.5 million and $3.1 million lower, respectively, than if Cintas had continued to account for share-based compensation under APB 25. Basic and diluted earnings per share are both $.02 lower for the year ended May 31, 2007, than if Cintas had continued to account for share-based compensation under APB 25.

Litigation and environmental matters

Cintas is subject to legal proceedings and claims related to environmental matters arising from the ordinary course of business. U.S. generally accepted accounting principles require that a liability for contingencies be recorded when it is probable that a liability has occurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. Significant judgment is required to determine the existence of a liability, as well as the amount to be recorded. Cintas regularly consults with attorneys to ensure that all of the relevant facts and circumstances are considered before a contingent liability is recorded. While a significant change in assumptions and judgments could have a material impact on the amounts recorded for contingent liabilities, Cintas does not believe that they will result in a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial statements.

A detailed discussion of litigation matters is discussed above in the section entitled Litigation and Other Contingencies.

Income taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined by the differences between the consolidated financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. Please reference Note 7 entitled Income Taxes of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” for the types of items that give rise to significant deferred income tax assets and liabilities. Deferred income taxes are classified as assets or liabilities based on the classification of the related asset or liability for financial reporting purposes. Deferred income taxes that are not related to an asset or liability for financial reporting are classified according to the expected reversal date. Cintas regularly reviews deferred tax assets for recoverability based upon projected future taxable income and the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences. As a result of this review, Cintas has not established a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets.

Cintas is periodically reviewed by domestic and foreign tax authorities regarding the amount of taxes due. These reviews include questions regarding the timing and amount of deductions and the allocation of income among various tax jurisdictions. In evaluating the exposure associated with various filing positions, Cintas records reserves as deemed appropriate. Based on Cintas' evaluation of current tax positions, Cintas believes its accruals are appropriate.

Outlook

Our outlook is positive for fiscal 2008. In fiscal 2007, we reorganized our sales efforts to become more efficient and productive. Although this reorganization has taken longer and been more costly than anticipated, we expect to see revenue growth benefits in fiscal 2008 and continued benefit over the long-term. We will continue searching out additional products and services to become an even more valuable resource for our customers. We believe that the high level of customer service provided by our partners and supported by our infrastructure, quality products, financial resources and corporate culture will provide for continued business success. As such, we see upside potential for all of our business units. Although difficult to predict, we anticipate continued growth in all of our business units.

In the marketplace, competition and related pricing pressure will continue; however, we believe cost containment initiatives, technological advances and continued leverage of our infrastructure will soften or offset any impact.

When appropriate opportunities arise, we will supplement our internal growth with strategic acquisitions.

Like most other companies, we experienced, and anticipate continuing to experience, increased costs for wages and benefits, including medical benefits. Changes in energy costs and changes in federal and state tax laws also impact our results.

Cintas continues to be the target of a corporate unionization campaign by Unite Here and the Teamsters unions. These unions are attempting to pressure Cintas into surrendering our employees' rights to a government-supervised election and unilaterally accept union representation. Cintas' philosophy in regard to unions is straightforward: We believe that employees have the right to say yes to union representation and the freedom to say no. This campaign could be materially disruptive to our business and could materially adversely affect results of operations. We will continue to vigorously oppose this campaign and to defend our employees' rights.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

Cintas manages interest rate risk by using a combination of variable and fixed rate debt and investing in marketable securities. Earnings are affected by changes in short-term interest rates due to the use of commercial paper of approximately $168 million, with an average interest rate of 5.28%. This exposure is limited by the investment in marketable securities, which act as a hedge against variability in short-term rates. If short-term rates change by one-half percent (or 50 basis points), Cintas' income before income taxes would change by approximately $2 million. This estimated exposure considers the mitigating effects of marketable securities on the change in the cost of variable rate debt. This analysis does not consider the effects of a change in economic activity or a change in Cintas' capital structure.

Through its foreign operations, Cintas is exposed to foreign currency risk. Foreign currency exposures arise from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency and from foreign denominated revenue and profit translated into U.S. dollars. The primary foreign currency to which Cintas is exposed is the Canadian dollar. Cintas does not currently use forward exchange contracts to limit potential losses in earnings or cash flows from foreign currency exchange rate movements.

Management’s Report on

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

To the Shareholders of Cintas Corporation:

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Accordingly, even an effective system of internal control over financial reporting will provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation.

With the supervision of our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, management assessed our internal control over financial reporting as of May 31, 2007. Management based its assessment on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Management's assessment included evaluation of such elements as the design and operating effectiveness of key financial reporting controls, process documentation, accounting policies and our overall control environment. This assessment is supported by testing and monitoring performed by our internal audit function.

Based on our assessment, management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of May 31, 2007, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

We reviewed the results of management's assessment with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors. Additionally, our independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP, audited management's assessment and independently assessed the effectiveness of Cintas Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting. Ernst & Young LLP has issued an attestation report, which is included in this Annual Report.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Cintas Corporation:

We have audited management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, that Cintas Corporation maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of May 31, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). Cintas Corporation’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

In our opinion, management’s assessment that Cintas Corporation maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of May 31, 2007, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the COSO criteria. Also, in our opinion, Cintas Corporation maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of May 31, 2007, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Cintas Corporation as of May 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended May 31, 2007, of Cintas Corporation, and our report dated July 27, 2007, expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Cintas Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Cintas Corporation as of May 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended May 31, 2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of Cintas Corporation’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Cintas Corporation at May 31, 2007 and 2006, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended May 31, 2007, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Note 1, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been restated for the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, in fiscal 2007, using the modified-retrospective transition method.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of Cintas Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of May 31, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our report dated July 27, 2007, expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Amounts in thousands except per share and share data)

1.	Significant Accounting Policies

Business description. Cintas Corporation (Cintas) provides highly specialized products and services to businesses of all types throughout the United States and Canada. We are North America's leading provider of corporate identity uniforms through rental and sales programs, as well as a significant provider of related business services, including entrance mats, restroom products and services, first aid, safety and fire protection products and services, document management services and branded promotional products. Our products and services are designed to enhance our customers’ images and to provide additional safety and protection in the workplace.

Principles of consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cintas, controlled majority-owned subsidiaries and any entities that are not controlled but require consolidation in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities - an interpretation of ARB No. 51 (collectively, Cintas or the Company). Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of estimates. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Financial results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue recognition. Rental revenue is recognized when services are performed and other services revenue is recognized when either services are performed or when products are shipped and the title and risks of ownership pass to the customer.

Cost of rentals. Cost of rentals consists primarily of production expenses, delivery expenses and the amortization of in service inventory, including uniforms, mats, shop towels and other rental items. The Rentals segment inbound freight charges, purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs, warehousing costs and other costs of distribution are included in the cost of rentals.

Cost of other services. Cost of other services consists primarily of cost of goods sold (predominantly uniforms and first aid products), delivery expenses and distribution expenses. The Other Services segment inbound freight charges, purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs, warehousing costs and other costs of distribution are included in the cost of other services.

Selling and administrative expenses. Selling and administrative expenses consist primarily of sales labor and commissions, management and administrative labor, payroll taxes, medical expense, insurance expense, legal and professional costs and amortization of intangible assets.

Cash and cash equivalents. Cintas considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less, at date of purchase, to be cash equivalents.

Marketable securities. All marketable securities are comprised of debt securities and classified as available-for-sale. The majority of these debt securities are obligations of state and political subdivisions.

Accounts receivable. Accounts receivable is comprised of amounts owed through product shipments and are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. This allowance is an estimate based on historical rates of collectibility. An uncollectible accounts provision is recorded for overdue amounts, beginning with a nominal

percentage and increasing substantially as the account ages. The amount provided as the account ages will differ slightly between the Rentals and Other Services segments because of differences in customers served and the nature of each segment. When an account is considered uncollectible, it is written off against this allowance.

Inventories. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. Substantially all inventories represent finished goods.

Uniforms and other rental items in service. These items are valued at cost less amortization, calculated using the straight-line method. Uniforms in service (other than cleanroom and flame resistant garments) are amortized over their useful life of eighteen months. Other rental items including shop towels, mats, cleanroom garments, flame resistant garments, linens and restroom dispensers are amortized over their useful lives which range from eight to forty-eight months.

Property and equipment. Property and equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method primarily over the following estimated useful lives, in years:

Buildings 30 to 40

Building improvements 5 to 20

Equipment 3 to 10

Leasehold improvements 2 to 5

Long-lived assets. When events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of long-lived assets may not be recoverable, the estimated future cash flows (undiscounted) are compared to the carrying amount of the assets. If the estimated future cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the assets, an impairment loss is recorded. The impairment loss is measured by comparing the fair value of the assets with their carrying amounts. Fair value is determined by discounted cash flows or appraised values, as appropriate. Long-lived assets that are held for disposal are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value, less estimated costs related to disposition.

Goodwill. As required under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 (FAS 142), Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, goodwill is separately disclosed from other intangible assets on the consolidated balance sheet and not amortized, but is tested for impairment on at least an annual basis. Cintas completes an annual goodwill impairment test as required by FAS 142. Based on the results of the impairment tests, Cintas was not required to recognize an impairment of goodwill for the years ended May 31, 2007, 2006 or 2005. Cintas will continue to perform future impairment tests as required by FAS 142 as of March 1 in future years or when indicators of impairment are noted.

Service contracts and other assets. Service contracts and other assets, which consist primarily of noncompete and consulting agreements obtained through acquisitions of businesses, are amortized by use of the straight-line method over the estimated lives of the agreements, which are generally five to ten years.

Accrued liabilities. Accrued liabilities consist primarily of insurance, medical and profit sharing obligations and legal and environmental contingencies. These are recorded when it is probable that a liability has occurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated.

Stock-based compensation. At May 31, 2007, Cintas had an equity compensation plan, which is more fully described in Note 11 entitled Stock-Based Compensation. Prior to June 1, 2006, Cintas accounted for this plan under the intrinsic value method proscribed by APB Opinion No. 25 (APB 25), Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations, as permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (FAS 123), Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Effective June 1, 2006, Cintas adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R) (FAS 123(R)), Share-Based Payment, using the modified-retrospective transition method. Under that transition method, all prior periods have been restated based on the amounts previously calculated in the pro forma footnote disclosures required by FAS 123. FAS 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including stock options, to be recognized as an expense in the consolidated statement of income based on their fair values. Due to this restatement, Cintas’ income before income taxes and net income decreased by $3,796 for the year ended May 31, 2006, and $7,971 for the year ended May 31, 2005. This adoption lowered basic earnings per share from $1.95 per share to $1.93 per share for fiscal 2006 and from $1.75 per share to $1.70 per share for fiscal 2005. In addition, diluted earnings per share were lowered from $1.94 per share to $1.92 per share for fiscal 2006 and from $1.74 per share to $1.69 per share for fiscal 2005. The cumulative effect of the change on paid-in-capital and retained earnings as of June

1, 2005, was $21,241 and ($39,567), respectively. The cumulative effect of the change on deferred taxes as of June 1, 2005, was less than $1,000.

As a result of adopting FAS 123(R) on June 1, 2006, Cintas’ income before income taxes and net income for the year ended May 31, 2007, are $4,500 and $3,088 lower, respectively, than if Cintas had continued to account for share-based compensation under APB 25. Basic and diluted earnings per share are both $.02 lower for the year ended May 31, 2007, than if Cintas had continued to account for share-based compensation under APB 25.

Derivatives and hedging activities. Derivatives and hedging activities are presented in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 (FAS 133), Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging Activities, as amended. This Standard requires the recognition of all derivatives on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value and recognition of the resulting gains or losses as adjustments to earnings or other comprehensive income.

Cintas formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. Cintas’ hedging activities are transacted only with highly rated institutions, reducing the exposure to credit risk in the event of nonperformance.

See Note 5 entitled Long-Term Debt for further information on derivatives.

Fair value of financial instruments. The following methods and assumptions were used by Cintas in estimating the fair value of financial instruments:

Cash and cash equivalents. The amounts reported approximate market value.

Marketable securities. The amounts reported are at market value. Market values are based on quoted market prices.

Long-term debt. The amounts reported are at a carrying value which approximates market value. Market values are determined using similar debt instruments currently available to Cintas that are consistent with the terms, interest rates and maturities.

Reclassification. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

Other accounting pronouncements. In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, which clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Cintas will adopt this Interpretation on June 1, 2007, and is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of FIN 48 on its consolidated financial statements. Any necessary transition adjustments will not affect net income in the period of adoption and will be reported as a change in accounting principle in our consolidated financial statements.

2.	Marketable Securities

All marketable securities are comprised of debt securities and classified as available-for-sale. 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. The cost of the securities sold is based on the specific identification method.

The following is a summary of marketable securities:

	2007				2006
			Estimated				Estimated
	Cost		Fair Value		Cost		Fair Value

Obligations of state and political subdivisions	$	24,480	$	24,415	$	106,655	$	105,715

Other debt securities		6,665		6,654		13,232		13,193
	$	120,476	$	120,053	$	204,368	$	202,539

The gross realized gains on sales of available-for-sale securities totaled $9, $3 and $23 for the years ended May 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and the gross realized losses totaled $42, $219 and $19, respectively. Net unrealized losses are $423 and $1,829 at May 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Purchases of marketable securities were $30,829, $25,613 and $202,265 for the years ended May 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

The cost and estimated fair value of debt securities at May 31, 2007, by contractual maturity, are $120,476 and $120,053, respectively. All contractual maturities are due in one year or less.

Debt in the amount of $5,201 is secured by assets with a carrying value of $5,616 at May 31, 2007. Cintas has letters of credit outstanding at May 31, 2007, approximating $75,453. Maturities of long-term debt during each of the next five years are $4,141, $1,235, $805, $393,729 and $762, respectively.

Interest paid, net of amount capitalized, was $45,805, $30,714 and $23,163 for the years ended May 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Cintas has a commercial paper program supported by a $600,000 long-term credit facility. This program was a $400,000 program during fiscal 2006, but was expanded to $600,000 during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007. As of May 31, 2007, there was $168,000 of commercial paper outstanding.

Long-term debt includes $225,000 due on June 1, 2007. This debt was refinanced effective June 1, 2007, under Cintas’ existing commercial paper program. The Cintas commercial paper program expires in fiscal 2011.

On August 15, 2006, Cintas issued $250,000 of senior notes due in 2036. This debt bears an interest rate of 6.15% paid semi-annually beginning February 15, 2007. The proceeds generated from the offering were used to repay a portion of our outstanding commercial paper borrowings at the time of this offering.

Cintas uses cash flow hedges to hedge the exposure of variability in short-term interest rates. These agreements effectively convert a portion of the floating rate debt to a fixed rate basis, thus reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future interest expense. The effective portion of the net gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Gains or losses on the ineffective portion of the hedge are charged to earnings in the current period. When outstanding, the effectiveness of these derivative instruments is reviewed at least every fiscal quarter. Examples of cash flow hedging instruments that Cintas may use are interest rate swaps, lock agreements and forward starting swaps. There were no interest rate swap or lock agreements outstanding as of May 31, 2007. There was also no cash settled forward starting swap outstanding as of May 31, 2007, as the forward starting swap that was in place at the end of the third quarter was terminated during May 2007, as discussed below.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2006, Cintas entered into a forward starting swap to protect forecasted interest payments from interest rate movement in anticipation of a $200,000, 30-year debt issuance in early fiscal 2008. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007, Cintas changed its intent on issuing this 30-year debt. This decision was based on current market conditions and interest rate environment as well as the additional payment flexibility provided to Cintas under its commercial paper program. As a result of this decision, Cintas terminated the forward starting swap and recorded the resulting $6,200 gain in fiscal 2007 as a reduction to administrative expenses.

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 and in fiscal 2007. The amortization of the cash flow hedges resulted in a credit to other comprehensive income of $384, $290 and $290 for the years ended May 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Cintas has certain significant 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. Cintas’ debt, net of cash and marketable securities, is $725,802 as of May 31, 2007. For fiscal 2007, net cash provided by operating activities was $449,391. Capital expenditures were $180,824 for the same period.

6.	Leases

Cintas conducts certain operations from leased facilities and leases certain equipment. Most leases contain renewal options for periods from one to ten years. The lease agreements provide for increases in rentals if the options are exercised based on increases in certain price level factors or other prearranged factors. Step rent provisions, escalation clauses, capital improvements funding and other lease concessions are taken into account in computing minimum lease payments. Minimum lease payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the minimum lease term. Lease payments are not dependent on an existing index or rate and are not included in minimum lease payments. It is anticipated that expiring leases will be renewed or replaced.

The minimum rental payments under noncancelable lease arrangements for each of the next five years and thereafter are $22,352, $17,643, $12,988, $9,773, $5,658 and $7,784, respectively. Rent expense under operating leases during the years ended May 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, was $33,268, $30,136 and $25,280, respectively.

During fiscal 2007, Cintas acquired 3 Rentals segment businesses and 29 Other Services segment businesses. During fiscal 2006, Cintas acquired 9 Rentals segment businesses and 24 Other Services segment businesses. The following summarizes the aggregate purchase price for all businesses acquired:

Total cash paid for acquisitions	$	161,572	$	346,296

The results of operations for the acquired businesses are included in the consolidated statements of income from the dates of acquisition. The pro forma revenue, net income and earnings per share information relating to acquired businesses are not presented because they are not significant.

9.	Defined Contribution Plans

Cintas' Partners' Plan (the Plan) is a non-contributory profit sharing plan and ESOP for the benefit of substantially all U.S. Cintas employees who have completed one year of service. The Plan also includes a 401(k) savings feature covering substantially all employees. The amounts of contributions to the Plan and ESOP, as well as the matching contribution to the 401(k), are made at the discretion of Cintas. Total contributions, including Cintas' matching contributions, which approximate cost, were $27,900, $26,500 and $24,400 for the years ended May 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Cintas also has a non-contributory deferred profit sharing plan (DPSP), which covers substantially all Canadian employees. In addition, a registered retirement savings plan (RRSP) is offered to those employees. The amounts of contributions to the DPSP, as well as the matching contribution to the RRSP, are made at the discretion of Cintas. Total contributions, which approximate cost, were $1,239, $1,144 and $897 for the years ended May 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

10.

Earnings per Share

Earnings per share are computed in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings per Share. The basic computations are computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. The diluted computations reflect the potential dilution that could occur if stock options were exercised into common stock, under certain circumstances, that then would share in the earnings of Cintas.

The following table represents a reconciliation of the shares used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share for the respective years:

	2007		2006		2005
			(Restated)*		(Restated)*
Numerator:
Net income	$	334,538	$	323,382	$	292,547

11.

Stock-Based Compensation

Under the 2005 equity compensation plan adopted by Cintas in fiscal 2006, Cintas may grant officers and key employees equity compensation in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted and unrestricted stock awards, performance awards and other stock unit awards up to an aggregate of 14,000,000 shares of Cintas' common stock. The compensation cost charged against income was $4,500, $5,277 and $7,971 for the years ended May 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The amount recorded in fiscal 2007 reflects a cumulative catch-up adjustment of $2,169 ($2,088 after tax), due to a change in the estimated forfeitures for certain existing stock option and restricted stock grants. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the year ended May 31, 2007, are both $.01 higher, respectively, due to this change in estimated forfeitures. The total income tax

benefit recognized in the consolidated income statement for share-based compensation arrangements was $1,413, $552 and $0 for the years ended May 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Stock Options

Stock options are granted at the fair market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The option terms are determined by the Compensation Committee, but no stock option may be exercised later than ten years after the date of the grant. The option awards generally have ten year terms with graded vesting in years five through ten based on continuous service during that period. Cintas recognizes compensation expense for these options using the straight-line recognition method over the vesting period.

The fair value of these options was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

	2007			2006			2005

Risk-free interest rate		4.00	%		4.00	%		4.00	%
Dividend yield		.70	%		.50	%		.50	%
Expected volatility of Cintas' common stock		35	%		35	%		35	%
Expected life of the option in years		7.5			9			9

The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. government issues with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the stock options. The determination of expected volatility is based on historical volatility of Cintas stock over the period commensurate with the expected term of stock options, as well as other relevant factors. The weighted average expected term was determined based on the historical employee exercise behavior of the options. The weighted-average fair value of stock options granted during fiscal 2007, 2006 and 2005 was $16.01, $20.95 and $19.80, respectively.

The information presented in the following table relates primarily to stock options granted and outstanding under either the plan adopted in fiscal 2006 or under previously adopted plans:

At May 31, 2007, the aggregate intrinsic value of stock options outstanding and exercisable was $7,023 and $4,896, respectively.

The weighted-average remaining contractual term of stock options exercisable is 3.5 years.

Restricted Stock Awards

Restricted stock awards will consist of Cintas’ common stock which is subject to such conditions, restrictions and limitations as the Compensation Committee determines to be appropriate. The vesting period is generally three years after the grant date. The recipient of restricted stock awards will have all rights of a shareholder of Cintas, including the right to vote and the right to receive cash dividends, during the vesting period.

The information presented in the following table relates to restricted stock awards granted and outstanding under the plan adopted in fiscal 2006:

				Weighted

Litigation and Other Contingencies

et. al. filed a separate lawsuit in the Court of Common Pleas, Wood County, Ohio, captioned Colleen Grindle, et al. v. Cintas Corporation (Grindle), on behalf of a class of female employees at Cintas’ Perrysburg, Ohio location who allegedly were denied hire, promotion or transfer to service sales representative positions on the basis of their gender. The Grindle plaintiffs seek injunctive relief, compensatory damages, punitive damages, attorneys’ fees and other remedies. No filings or determinations have been made in Grindle as to class certification. There can be no assurance as to whether a class will be certified or, if a class is certified, as to the geographic or other scope of such class. In addition, a class action lawsuit, Larry Houston, et al. v. Cintas Corporation, was filed on August 3, 2005, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California on behalf of African-American managers alleging racial discrimination (Houston). On November 22, 2005, the court entered an order requiring the named plaintiffs in the Houston lawsuit to arbitrate all of their claims for monetary damages. If there is an adverse verdict or a negotiated settlement of all or any of these actions, the resulting liability and/or any increased costs of operations on an ongoing basis could be material to Cintas. Any estimated liability relating to these proceedings is not determinable at this time.

Cintas is also a defendant in a lawsuit, J. Lester Alexander, III vs. Cintas Corporation, et al., which was originally filed on October 25, 2004, and is currently pending in the Circuit Court of Randolph County, Alabama. The case was brought by J. Lester Alexander, III, the Chapter 7 Trustee (the Trustee) of Terry Manufacturing Company, Inc. (TMC) and Terry Uniform Company, LLC (TUC), against Cintas in Randolph County, Alabama. The Trustee seeks damages against Cintas for allegedly breaching fiduciary duties to TMC and TUC and for allegedly aiding and abetting breaches of fiduciary duties by others to those entities. The complaint also includes allegations that Cintas breached certain limited liability company agreements, or alternatively, misrepresented its intention to perform its obligations in those agreements and acted as alter egos of the bankrupt TMC and is therefore liable for all of TMC's debts. The Trustee is seeking $50,000 in compensatory damages and $100,000 in punitive damages. Cintas denies these claims and is vigorously defending itself against all claims in the complaint. If there is an adverse verdict on the merits or in the event of a negotiated settlement of this lawsuit, the resulting liability could be material to Cintas. Any estimated liability relating to this lawsuit is not determinable at this time.

13.

Segment Information

Cintas classifies its businesses into two operating segments, Rentals and Other Services, based on the similar economic and organizational characteristics of the products and services within each segment. The Rentals segment reflects the rental and servicing of uniforms and other garments, mats, mops and shop towels. In addition to these rental items, we also provide restroom and hygiene products and services within this segment. The Other Services segment consists of the direct sale of uniforms and related items, first aid, safety and fire protection products and services, document management services and branded promotional products. Both segments provide these products and services 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 as to the operations of Cintas' different segments is set forth below based on the distribution of products and services offered. Cintas evaluates performances based on several factors of which the primary financial measures are business segment revenue and income before income taxes. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 1 entitled Significant Accounting Policies.
