CINTAS CORPORATION

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, all 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 November 30, 1995, options as to 1,448,619 shares granted
under the 1993 Plan and a previous plan, were outstanding at
prices ranging from $5.92 - $38.75 per share.  Of these options
outstanding, 167,109 were exercisable at May 31, 1995.  During
the first quarter of fiscal 1996, options as to 39,426 shares
were exercised ranging in price from $5.92 to $13.33 per share. 
During the second quarter of fiscal 1996, options as to 28,371
shares were exercised ranging in price from $7.96 to $13.33.

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 November 30, 1995, under both Directors'
plans, options for 37,000 shares are outstanding, ranging in
price from $13.33 to $43.25, of which 26,000 shares are
exercisable.

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


Total revenues increased 20% in the three months and six months
ended November 30, 1995 over the same periods in the prior fiscal
year.  Net rental revenue increased 21% for both the three months
and six months ended November 30, 1995.  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.  Second quarter revenues from the sale of uniforms
and other direct sale items increased 18% over the prior year's
second quarter.  For the six months ended November 30, 1995,
sales increased 14% 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 20% and 19% for the three months and six
months ended November 30, 1995, respectively, over the same
periods in fiscal 1995.  The increase in net income for the six
months ended November 30, 1995, over the same period in the prior
year was primarily the result of increased revenues.

Net interest expense (interest expense less interest income) was
$1,846,000 and $3,935,000 for the three months and six months
ended November 30, 1995, respectively, compared to  $1,386,000
and $2,409,000, respectively, for the same two 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.

During the first quarter of fiscal 1996, the Company announced
plans to open a new distribution center in Montgomery, Alabama. 
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.  

During the second quarter of fiscal 1996, the Company entered
eight new markets and continued construction of new uniform
rental facilities in Austin, Texas; Denver, Colorado;
Indianapolis, Indiana; and Las Vegas, Nevada. 

Financial Condition

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

Property, plant and equipment have increased from May 31, 1995,
primarily due to the construction of new uniform rental
facilities previously mentioned as well as the expansion of other existing
uniform rental facilities in several U.S. cities. 

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.
