             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (Unaudited)

1.   The consolidated condensed financial statements of Cintas
Corporation (the "Company") included herein have been prepared by
the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations
of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles have been condensed or
omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.  While the
Company believes that the disclosures presented are adequate to
make the information not misleading, it is suggested that these
consolidated condensed financial statements be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in
the Company's most recent annual report for the fiscal year ended
May 31, 1995.

2.    Interim results are subject to variations and are not
necessarily indicative of the results of operations for a full
fiscal year.  In the opinion of management, adjustments (which
include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary  for a fair
statement of the results of the interim periods shown have been
made.

3.    Stock Options:

       Under a stock option plan adopted by the Company in fiscal
1993 (the"1993 Plan"), the Company may grant officers and key
employees incentive stock options and/or non-qualified stock
options to purchase an aggregate of 2,300,000 shares of the
Company's common stock.  Options are generally granted at the
fair market value of the underlying Common Stock on the date of
the grant and generally become exercisable at the rate of 20% per
year commencing five years after grant, so long as the holder
remains an employee of the Company.

      At February 29, 1996, options as to 1,235,558 shares
granted under the 1993 Plan and a previous plan, were outstanding
at prices ranging from $7.96 - $48.75 per share. 
Of these options outstanding, 221,138 were exercisable at
February 29, 1996.  During the nine months ended February 29,
1996, options as to 217,841 shares were exercised ranging
in price from $5.92 to $22.50 per share. 

      In fiscal year 1991, Shareholders adopted a stock option
plan for the non-employee members of its Board of Directors, and
granted options for 30,000 shares of common stock (the "1991
Directors' Plan").  Options were granted at 100% of the market
value of the underlying Common Stock on the date immediately
prior to the grant and become exercisable at a rate of 25% per
year commencing two years after grant, so long as the
holder remains on the Board of Directors.  In fiscal 1995,
shareholders voted to adopt the 1994 Directors' Stock Option Plan
(the "1994 Directors' Plan").  The 1994 Directors' Plan provides
for each non-employee Director of the Company to be granted an
option to purchase 1,000 shares of Cintas Common Stock, and, upon
each subsequent election as a Director, another option for 1,000
shares.  The total number of shares which may be granted under
this Plan is 30,000 shares.  Options under the 1994 Directors'
Plan are granted at 100% of the market value of the underlying
Common Stock on the date of grant and become exercisable at a
rate of 25% per year commencing one year after grant, so
long as the holder remains on the Board of Directors.  As of
February 29, 1996, under both Directors' plans, options for
37,000 shares are outstanding, ranging in price from $13.33 to

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


Total revenues increased 21% and 20% in the three months and nine
months ended February 29, 1996, respectively,  over the same
periods in the prior fiscal year.  These periods in fiscal 1996
included an extra work day in February due to the leap year.  Net
rental revenue increased 21% for both the three months and nine
months ended February 29, 1996. For the nine months ended
February 29, 1996, growth in the customer base and price
increases in established operations accounted for a 16% increase
and the remaining 5% was due primarily to acquisitions.  Third
quarter revenues from the sale of uniforms and other direct sale
items increased 21% over the prior year's third quarter.  For the
nine months ended February 29, 1996, such sales increased 16%
over the same period in fiscal 1995.  The increase in revenues
from the sale of uniforms and other direct sale items is
attributable to an increase in unit sales and was not
significantly affected by acquisitions.

Net income increased 21% and 20% for the three months and nine
months ended February 29, 1996, respectively, over the same
periods in fiscal 1995.  The increase in net income for the nine
months ended February 29, 1996, over the same period in the prior
year was primarily the result of increased revenues.

Net interest expense (interest expense less interest income) was
$1,503,000 and $5,438,000 for the three months and nine months
ended February 29, 1996, respectively, compared to  $1,030,000
and $3,439,000, respectively, for the same periods in the prior
fiscal year.  Net interest expense has increased primarily due to
an increase in the amount of long-term debt associated with the
acquisition of Cadet Uniform Services, Ltd. in the third quarter
of fiscal 1995.

The Company's previously announced new distribution center in
Montgomery, Alabama is expected to begin operations in the first
quarter of fiscal 1997.  The new distribution center will service
the Company's operations in the South, Southeast and Southwest
regions of the United States.  The expansion into Montgomery, as
well as an expansion of the Cincinnati distribution center, will
allow the Company to free up capacity in Cincinnati in order to
more effectively service growth in the Midwest, on the East Coast
and Canada.  

At the end of the third quarter of fiscal 1996, the Company had
eight uniform rental facilities in various stages of
construction.  

Financial Condition

Marketable securities have increased since May 31, 1995,
primarily due to an increase in cash generated from operations.  

Property, plant and equipment have increased from May 31, 1995,
primarily due to the construction of new uniform rental
facilities and the expansion of several existing uniform rental
facilities in the U.S. The Company believes that its current cash
position, funds anticipated to be generated from operations and
the strength of its banking relationships are sufficient to meet
its anticipated operational and capital needs requirements.
