            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, 1996.

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.     The Company adopted SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of
       Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of, in the
       first quarter of fiscal 1997.  The adoption of this Statement did not
       have a material financial impact on the Company.

               FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Total revenues increased 14% for the three and six months ended  November 30,
1996 over the same periods in fiscal 1996.  Net rental revenues increased 14%
and 13% for the three and six months ended November 30, 1996, respectively,
over the same periods in the prior fiscal year, due primarily to growth in the
customer base and price increases in established operations.  The first
quarter and first six months of fiscal 1997 had one less workday than the
similar periods of fiscal 1996.  Second quarter revenues from the sale of
uniforms and other direct sale items increased 18% over the prior years second
quarter.  For the six months ended November 30, 1996, sales increased 17% over
the same period in  fiscal 1996.  The increase in revenues from the sale of
uniforms and other direct sale items is principally a result of an increase in
unit sales.   

Net income increased 20% and 21% for the three and six months ended November
30, 1996, respectively, over the same periods in fiscal 1996. 

Net interest expense (interest expense less interest income) was $966,000 and
$2,101,000 for the three and six months ended November 30, 1996  compared to
$1,846,000 and $3,935,000, respectively, for the same two  periods in the
prior fiscal year.  Net interest expense has decreased primarily due to an
increase in interest income (related to a higher level of cash and marketable
securities on hand) combined with a decrease in  interest expense (related to
a lower amount of long-term debt and  improved interest rates).  The Company=s
effective tax rate was 38% in  both periods of fiscal 1997 compared to 39% in
the same periods in fiscal 1996.  

Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities increased by $15 million at
November 30, 1996 from May 31, 1996, primarily due to strong cash flow from
operations.  The cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities  will be
used to finance future acquisitions and capital expenditures.

Net property, plant and equipment increased by $16 million from May 31,  1996
to November 30, 1996.  At the end of the second quarter of fiscal  1997, the
Company had five uniform rental facilities in various stages of construction.

During the first quarter of fiscal 1997, the Companys new distribution center
in Montgomery, Alabama  began operations.   The new distribution center will
service the Companys operations in the South, Southeast and  Southwest regions
of the United States.  The expansion into Montgomery, as well as the expansion
of the Cincinnati distribution center completed in fiscal 1996,  frees up
capacity in Cincinnati in order to more effectively service growth in the
Midwest, on the East Coast and Canada.

Financial Condition

At November 30, 1996, the Company had $98 million in cash, cash  equivalents
and marketable securities.  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.
