NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Unaudited)
1. CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND STOCK SPLIT
The consolidated condensed balance sheet as of May 28, 2005, the
consolidated condensed statements of earnings and the consolidated
condensed statements of cash flows for the periods ended May 28, 2005, and
May 29, 2004, have been prepared by the Company without audit. The
financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as those in the
Company's November 27, 2004 annual report on Form 10-K (2004 Form 10-K).
The November 2004 consolidated balance sheet data was derived from
CLARCOR's year-end audited financial statements as presented in the 2004
Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include
only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the
financial position, results of operations, and cash flows have been made.
The results of operations for the period ended May 28, 2005 are not
necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.
On March 21, 2005, the Company declared a two-for-one stock split effected
in the form of a 100% stock dividend distributable April 29, 2005 to
shareholders of record April 15, 2005. In connection therewith, the Company
transferred $25,775 from retained earnings to common stock, representing
the par value of additional shares issued. All share and per share amounts
for all periods presented have been adjusted to reflect the stock split
except for the voting results disclosed in Part II - Item 4 of this report.
2. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value
method. If the Company had determined compensation expense for its
stock-based compensation plans based on the fair value at the grant dates,
the Company's pro forma net earnings and basic and diluted earnings per
share (EPS) would have been as follows:

Diluted EPS, as reported $ 0.33 $ 0.29 $ 0.58 $ 0.51
Pro forma diluted EPS $ 0.28 $ 0.27 $ 0.52 $ 0.49
On March 22, 2005, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors
approved accelerating the vesting of nonqualified stock options granted on
December 12, 2004 to current employees, including executive officers. All
of these options had an exercise price greater than the then-market price
per share and provided for vesting at the rate of 25% per year beginning

on the first anniversary of the date of grant. Approximately $3,500,000 of
pretax compensation expense was included in the pro forma earnings during
the second quarter 2005 that otherwise would have been recorded in
accordance with SFAS No. 123R, "Share-Based Payment" over future quarters.
3. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Diluted earnings per share reflects the impact of outstanding stock options
and restricted stock as if exercised during the periods presented using the
treasury stock method. The following table provides the information
necessary to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share:

Diluted earnings per share amount $ 0.33 $ 0.29 $ 0.58 $ 0.51
Options with exercise prices greater than the average market price of the
common shares during the respective quarter were not included in the
computation of diluted earnings per share. For the quarter and six months
ended May 28, 2005, there were no options excluded. For the quarter and six
months ended May 29, 2004, 593,710 options with a weighted average exercise
price of $22.79 were excluded from the computation.
For the six months ended May 28, 2005, exercises of stock options added
$3,814 to capital in excess of par value.
4. COMPREHENSIVE EARNINGS
The Company's total comprehensive earnings and its components are as

5. GUARANTEES AND WARRANTIES
The Company has provided letters of credit totaling approximately $23,885
to various government agencies, primarily related to industrial revenue
bonds, and to insurance companies and other entities in support of its
obligations. The Company believes that no payments will be required
resulting from these accommodation obligations.
In the ordinary course of business, the Company also provides routine
indemnifications and other guarantees whose terms range in duration and
often are not explicitly defined. The Company does not believe these will
have a material impact on the results of operations or financial condition
of the Company.
The Company has a majority ownership interest in a consolidated affiliate
in which the Company has agreed, under certain conditions, to buy out the
minority owners' interest for an amount estimated not to exceed $1,300.
Warranties are recorded as a liability on the balance sheet and as charges
to current expense for estimated normal warranty costs and, if applicable,
for specific performance issues known to exist on products already sold.
The expenses estimated to be incurred are provided at the time of sale and
adjusted as needed, based primarily upon experience.
Changes in the Company's warranty accrual during the six months ended May
28, 2005 are as follows:
Balance at November 27, 2004 $ 1,200
Accruals for warranties issued during the period 771

The Company provides various retirement benefits, including defined benefit
plans and postretirement health care plans covering certain current and
retired employees in the U.S. and abroad. Components of net periodic
benefit cost and company contributions for these plans were as follows:

Contributions $ 66 $ 64 $ 132 $ 128
======= ======= ======= =======
In November 2004, the Company notified active participants that it will
freeze participation in the postretirement healthcare plan to eligible
retirees effective January 1, 2007. As a result, unrecognized prior service
costs of $1,708 will be amortized over the average remaining years of
service for active plan participants, which will lower fiscal 2005 expense
by approximately $340.
The Company's policy is to contribute to the qualified U.S. and non-U.S.
pension plans at least the minimum amount required by applicable laws and
regulations, to contribute to the nonqualified plan when required for
benefit payments, and to contribute to the postretirement benefit plan an
amount equal to the benefit payments. During 2005, the minimum required
contribution for the U.S. pension plan is expected to be zero. The Company
from time to time makes contributions in excess of the minimum amount
required as economic conditions warrant. At this time the Company does not
expect to make contributions to the U.S. qualified plan in 2005; however it
does expect to fund $421 for the U.S. nonqualified plan, $226 for the
non-U.S. plan and $265 for the postretirement benefit plan to pay benefits
during 2005.

8. CONTINGENCIES
The Company is involved in legal actions arising in the normal course of
business. Additionally, the Company is party to various proceedings
relating to environmental issues. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) and/or other responsible state agencies have designated the Company
as a potentially responsible party (PRP), along with other companies, in
remedial activities for the cleanup of waste sites under the federal
Superfund statute.
Although it is not certain what future environmental claims, if any, may be
asserted, the Company currently believes that its potential liability for
known environmental matters does not exceed its present accrual of $50.
However, environmental and related remediation costs are difficult to
quantify for a number of reasons, including the number of parties involved,
the difficulty in determining the extent of the contamination, the length
of time remediation may require, the complexity of the environmental
regulation and the continuing advancement of remediation technology.
Applicable federal law may impose joint and several liability on each PRP
for the cleanup.
It is the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel that
additional liabilities, if any, resulting from these legal or environmental
issues, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's
financial condition or consolidated results of operations.
In the event of a change in control of the Company, termination benefits
may be required for certain executive officers and other key employees.
9. SEGMENT DATA
The Company operates in three principal product segments: Engine/Mobile
Filtration, Industrial/Environmental Filtration, and Packaging. The segment
data for the second quarter and six months ended May 28, 2005 and May 29,
2004, respectively, are shown below. Net sales represent sales to
unaffiliated customers as reported in the consolidated condensed statements
of earnings. Intersegment sales were not material.

The Company's corporate headquarters moved to Franklin, TN in 2004. Costs
for this move, which were a one-time expense incurred primarily during
fiscal 2004, were included in selling and administrative expenses. The
Company paid all significant relocation costs during fiscal year 2004.
10. RECENT RELEVANT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
issued SFAS No. 123R, "Share-Based Payment," which requires companies to
expense the value of employee stock options and similar awards. In
accordance with a Securities and Exchange Commission rule issued in April
2005, SFAS No. 123R is effective for the Company's fiscal year beginning
December 1, 2005. Adoption of this standard is expected to reduce the
Company's net earnings and earnings per share for interim and annual
periods after adoption. Management has not fully determined the impact of
adopting SFAS No. 123R, but expects fiscal year 2006 EPS may be reduced by
approximately $0.04 if the modified prospective method of reporting is
selected.
On December 21, 2004, the FASB issued two FSPs regarding the accounting
implications of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the Act). FSP No.
109-1, "Application of FASB Statement No. 109 `Accounting for Income Taxes'
to the Tax Deduction on Qualified Production Activities Provided by the
American Jobs Creation Act of 2004" is not expected to have an effect on
the Company's effective tax rate until fiscal 2006. FSP No. 109-2,
"Accounting and Disclosure Guidance for the Foreign Earnings Repatriation
Provision within the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004" was effective for
fiscal 2004 and allows the Company additional time to evaluate the impact
of the Act on its plan for repatriation of foreign earnings. The Company is
currently exploring a one time repatriation of earnings from certain
foreign affiliates but has not made a decision regarding such repatriation.

11. BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS
On March 1, 2005, the Company acquired Niagara Screen Products Limited
(Niagara), a manufacturer of woven wire and metallic screening and
filtration products, located in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada for
approximately $3,402 in cash. Niagara became a wholly-owned subsidiary of
the Company and is included in the Industrial/Environmental Filtration
segment beginning in the second quarter of 2005. The transaction was
accounted for under the purchase method of accounting with the excess of
the initial purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net
tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired recorded as goodwill.
The initial purchase price was based on the net assets of the business
acquired as shown on a February 28, 2005 balance sheet which is subject to
a final adjustment. The preliminary allocation of the initial purchase
price over the estimated fair value of the tangible and identifiable
intangible assets acquired for Niagara resulted in $2,993 recorded as
goodwill. In addition, the Company recognized $123 for customer
relationships that will be amortized over twenty years and $6 as
indefinite-lived trademarks. The settlement of final purchase price
adjustments and allocation of the purchase price to major categories of
assets and liabilities will be completed during the second half of 2005.
The Company also recorded $465 as exit costs for terminated employees and
$401 as plant shutdown costs. During the quarter ended May 28, 2005, $216
was paid to terminated employees. The remainder of the exit costs will be
paid during fiscal year 2005. The acquisition was not material to the
results of the Company.
As discussed in the November 2004 Annual Report, on September 15, 2004, the
Company acquired Purolator EFP, a manufacturer of woven wire and metallic
screening and filtration products for the plastic and polymer fiber
industries, operating through two manufacturing facilities in Houston,
Texas and Shelby, North Carolina for approximately $37,022 net of cash
received, including acquisition expenses. During the second quarter 2005,
the purchase price was finalized resulting in a $60 payment by the seller
to the Company. An increase to goodwill of $492 was recorded primarily as a
result of the net settlement payment, entries associated with the valuation
of accounts receivable and liabilities assumed and final payment of
acquisition expenses.

Part I - Item 2
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS: SECOND QUARTER OF 2005 COMPARED WITH SECOND QUARTER OF
2004.
CLARCOR reported record sales, operating profit and net earnings for the second
quarter of 2005. Sales increased 10.6%, operating profit increased 15.8% and net
earnings increased 16.3% over the same quarter in 2004. Diluted earnings per
share, as adjusted for the April 2005 2-for-1 stock split, increased to $0.33
for the 2005 quarter from $0.29 in the 2004 quarter. All per share and share
amounts included below have been adjusted for the stock split.
Net sales of $219,786,000 increased from $198,712,000 reported for second
quarter of 2004. Sales from the fourth quarter 2004 acquisition of Purolator EFP
and a related small acquisition at the beginning of the second quarter 2005
(combined, "the PEFP acquisitions") added approximately $7,500,000 to second
quarter 2005. Fluctuations in foreign currency rates did not have a material
impact on the 2005 quarter.
The Engine/Mobile Filtration segment reported increased sales of 12.9% to
$93,722,000 from $82,992,000 in 2004. This increase was primarily due to
additional sales of heavy-duty filters through domestic and international
aftermarket distribution, OEM dealers and national accounts and sales to
railroads and railroad equipment maintenance companies. Sales from the segment's
operation in China nearly doubled in the 2005 quarter from the period year as a
result of increased sales primarily in China and Southeast Asia. Price increases
related primarily to higher material costs also increased sales for the quarter.
The Company's Industrial/Environmental Filtration segment recorded an 8.6%
overall increase in sales to $106,668,000 for the 2005 quarter from $98,249,000
for the 2004 second quarter. Included in the sales increase is approximately
$7,500,000 from the PEFP acquisitions. Sales increased, both domestically and
internationally, in several specialty filtration markets including oil and gas
drilling, aviation and waste water treatment. Sales levels in the 2005 quarter
were lower for HVAC filters used in commercial and residential applications due
in part to lower filter usage in manufacturing facilities including automobile
and automotive parts manufacturing plants.
The Packaging segment reported sales of $19,396,000 compared to $17,471,000 in
2004. Sales increases for the quarter were primarily related to flat sheet metal
decorating sales, price increases and plastic packaging sales.
Operating profit for the second quarter of 2005 was $27,553,000 compared to
$23,793,000 in 2004, a 15.8% increase. The operating profit increase resulted
primarily from the Engine/Mobile segment's sales growth, continued cost
reduction programs throughout each of the business segments and from the PEFP
acquisitions.
The Engine/Mobile Filtration segment recorded an operating profit increase in
2005 of 15.5% compared to 2004. This increase resulted primarily from sales
growth, cost reduction programs and improved capacity utilization, particularly
in the segment's UK operation that performed below expectations in 2004. The
segment's operating margin improved to 20.9% from 20.5% recorded in the second
quarter of 2004. Price increases initiated during 2004 and 2005 have
substantially offset higher costs of purchased materials and other cost
increases. Additional pricing changes are expected to be made as additional cost
increases are incurred, especially related to petroleum-based materials and
energy costs.
Page 13
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, Continued
The Industrial/Environmental Filtration segment reported operating profit of
$6,234,000 in 2005 compared to $6,076,000 in 2004. Operating profit improved due
to the operating results from the PEFP acquisitions which more than offset
reduced operating profit related to lower HVAC filter sales and reduced
utilization of the segment's production facilities for HVAC products. The
segment's operating margin was lower in 2005 at 5.8% compared to 6.2% in the
2004 quarter primarily due to the reduced utilization of certain facilities
which more than offset higher margins from the PEFP acquisitions.
The Packaging segment's operating profit in the 2005 quarter was $1,690,000
compared to $1,153,000 in 2004. The improvement resulted primarily from improved
sales levels of metal packaging products and cost reduction programs initiated
since the first quarter of 2004. Price increases to customers substantially
offset cost increases incurred for purchased materials.
Net other expense for the 2005 quarter of $95,000 included interest expense of
$153,000, foreign currency exchange losses of $233,000 and interest income of
$175,000. Net other expense in 2004 was $217,000 and included interest expense
of $109,000, foreign currency exchange losses of $244,000 and interest income of
$86,000.
Earnings before income taxes and minority interests for the second quarter of
2005 totaled $27,458,000, compared to $23,576,000 in the comparable quarter last
year. The provision for income taxes in 2005 was $9,973,000 compared to
$8,567,000 in 2004. The effective rate was 36.3% in both the 2005 and 2004
second quarters.
Net earnings in the second quarter of the current year were $17,346,000, or
$0.33 per share on a diluted basis. Net earnings in the second quarter of 2004
were $14,914,000, or $0.29 per share on a diluted basis. Diluted average shares
outstanding were 52,418,831 at the end of the second quarter of 2005, an
increase of 1.3% from the average of 51,745,840 for the 2004 quarter.
SIX MONTHS OF 2005 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS OF 2004.
Net sales increased to $416,047,000 from $373,984,000 in 2004, an 11.2%
increase. The sales increase includes approximately $14,000,000 from the PEFP
acquisitions. Fluctuations in foreign currency rates did not have a material
impact on the 2005 six-month period.
The Engine/Mobile Filtration segment reported an increase in sales of 15.0% to
$176,851,000 compared to the 2004 six-month period. The increase is primarily
due to growth in heavy-duty engine filter sales, both domestically and
internationally. Sales for the segment's operation in Weifang, China increased
80% in the 2005 period and continued double-digit growth is expected there for
the foreseeable future. Price increases to offset cost increases for materials,
including steel, filter media and petroleum-based products, increased the
segment's sales in 2005 compared to 2004.
The Industrial/Environmental Filtration segment reported sales of $203,866,000,
an increase of 8.9% from the 2004 six-month period. The 2005 period includes
approximately $14,000,000 from the PEFP acquisitions and sales increases for the
segment's specialty filtration products used in aviation, industrial and oil and
gas drilling applications. The segment's HVAC filter sales were lower in the
2005 period, primarily as a result of ongoing reduced demand for filters in
automotive production facilities and competitive pricing pressures. The segment
continues to implement price increases to offset material cost increases.
Page 14
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, Continued
The Packaging segment's sales increased 7.1% to $35,330,000 in the 2005 period.
The increase was primarily for metal packaging products and included price
increases to customers as a result of higher material costs.
The Company's operating profit for the 2005 six-month period increased to
$48,633,000 from $41,606,000 in 2004, a 16.9% increase. The increase resulted
primarily from higher Engine/Mobile segment sales, the PEFP acquisitions and
cost reductions and improved capacity utilization overall. During the second
quarter of 2004, the Company incurred costs of $425,000 related to the
relocation of its headquarters to Tennessee in 2004.
The Engine/Mobile Filtration segment's operating profit increased to $36,407,000
in 2005, an increase of 15.9% from the 2004 period. The increase is primarily
due to the sales volume increase and the related increased capacity utilization.
Although costs for purchased materials have increased significantly over the
past 12-18 months, price increases to customers have been implemented which have
substantially offset the cost increases. The segment's operating margin improved
to 20.6% from 20.4% in 2004 primarily as a result of continued productivity
improvements, especially in its U.K. production facility that performed below
expectations in 2004.
The Industrial/Environmental segment's operating profit increased to $10,203,000
in 2005 primarily as a result of the operating profit related to the PEFP
acquisitions that more than offset a reduction in operating profit from the
segment's HVAC filter manufacturing facilities. The productivity from these
facilities was significantly less in the 2005 six-month period due to lower than
expected sales and production levels. Significant attention has been given to
these facilities to balance production scheduling and to reduce costs to current
sales and production requirements. The segment's operating margin was 5.0% in
both the 2005 and 2004 six-month periods.
The Packaging segment's operating profit increased to $2,023,000 from $1,289,000
in 2004. The increase was due to improved sales levels and price increases to
customers which offset cost increases that occurred beginning in 2004. Sales
increases and cost reduction initiatives contributed to an improvement in
operating margin to 5.7% in 2005 from 3.9% for the 2004 six-month period.
Net other expense in 2005 totaled $407,000 and included interest expense of
$296,000, foreign currency exchange losses of $467,000 and interest income of
$289,000. Net other income for the 2004 six-month period of $368,000 included a
gain of $720,000 from the first quarter 2004 sale of a building, interest
expense of $227,000, foreign currency exchange losses of $196,000 and interest
income of $137,000. Interest expense was higher in 2005 due to higher interest
rates on debt balances during the 2005 six-month period.
Earnings before income taxes and minority interests for the 2005 six-month
period totaled $48,226,000 compared to $41,974,000 in the prior year period. The
provision for income taxes in 2005 was $17,509,000 compared to $15,270,000 in
2004. The effective rate was 36.3% in 2005 and 36.4% in 2004. The Company
expects that the overall effective tax rate for fiscal 2005 will be
approximately 36.3%.
Net earnings in the 2005 six-month period were $30,500,000, or $0.58 per share
on a diluted basis and as adjusted for the 2005 stock split. Net earnings in the
2004 six-month period were $26,575,000, or $0.51 per share on a diluted basis,
adjusted for the stock split. Diluted average shares outstanding were 52,316,801
for the 2005 period and 51,682,644 for the 2004 six-month period. The increase
of 1.2% is primarily due to grants of stock-based incentives.

OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, Continued
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash provided by operating activities increased to $39,386,000 for the six-month
2005 period compared to $33,611,000 in 2004, primarily due to additional net
earnings in 2005. In the 2005 six-month period, cash flows for investing
activities totaled $13,456,000 and included $10,562,000 used for plant asset
additions and $3,508,000 used primarily for a small acquisition at the beginning
of the second quarter. In the 2004 six-month period, $9,197,000 was used for
additions to plant assets, $4,871,000 was used for an acquisition and $1,415,000
was received from the sale of plant assets. Cash flows used in financing
activities totaled $20,586,000 in 2005 and included net payments of $17,662,000
on borrowings and $6,577,000 used for dividend payments. Cash flows used in
financing activities of $5,770,000 in 2004 included net payments on debt
agreements of $280,000 and dividend payments of $6,361,000.
CLARCOR's current operations continue to generate cash and sufficient lines of
credit remain available to fund current operating needs, pay dividends, fund
planned capital expenditures, and provide for interest payments and required
principal payments related to the Company's debt agreements. There were no
borrowings at the end of the second quarter 2005 on a $165 million multicurrency
revolving credit facility. The credit facility also includes a $40 million
letter of credit line subline, against which $8,491,000 had been issued at the
end of the second quarter of 2005. Other long-term debt totaled $16,220,000 at
the end of the 2005 quarter and related principal payments in 2005 will be
approximately $1,010,000. The Company is in compliance with all covenants
related to debt agreements.
The Company expects to continue to use future additional cash flow for
dividends, capital expenditures and acquisitions. Capital expenditures in fiscal
year 2005 are expected to be approximately $20 million to $22 million and will
be used primarily for normal facility improvements, productivity improvements,
improvements to technical centers, and to support new products and filter media
development. Early in the second quarter of 2005, the Company acquired a small
filtration company in Canada for $3.4 million, subject to settlement with the
sellers of the final amount of net assets acquired. The Company's off-balance
sheet arrangements relate to various operating leases. The Company had no
derivative, swap, hedge, variable interest entity or special purpose entity
agreements during 2005 or 2004.
The following table summarizes the Company's fixed cash obligations for the
years ending November 30:
(Dollars in thousands)
2005 2006 & 2007 2008 & 2009 Thereafter
------- ----------- ----------- ----------
Long-Term Debt $ 1,010 $ 220 $ - $15,820
Credit Facility $ 7,500 $ - $ - $ -
Operating Leases $ 9,575 $14,937 $ 8,137 $ 9,883
While changes in customer demand for the Company's products will affect
operating cash flow, the Company is not aware of any known trends, demands or
reasonably likely events that would materially affect cash flow from operations
in the future. It is possible that business acquisitions or dispositions could
be made in the future that may affect operating cash flows and may require
changes in the Company's debt and capitalization.
Page 16
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, Continued
The Company's financial position at the end of the second quarter reflected cash
and short-term investments of $27,600,000, an increase from $22,520,000 at
year-end 2004. At the end of second quarter 2005 compared to year-end 2004,
accounts receivable increased by $2,112,000 primarily due to higher sales in the
second quarter of 2005 compared to the fourth quarter of 2004. Inventories
increased $5,233,000 from the year-end level due primarily to inventory
requirements for increased shipments expected for the remainder of 2005. The
current ratio at the end of the second quarter was 2.7 compared to 2.4 at the
end of fiscal 2004. The ratio of total debt to total capitalization was 3.4% at
the end of the 2005 second quarter compared to the year-end 2004 level of 5.4%.
Adjusted for the 2-for-1 stock split in the second quarter of 2005, CLARCOR had
51,576,809 shares of common stock outstanding as of May 28, 2005.
OTHER MATTERS
Market Risk
The Company's interest expense on long-term debt is sensitive to changes in
interest rates. In addition, changes in foreign currency exchange rates may
affect assets, liabilities and commitments that are to be settled in cash and
are denominated in foreign currencies. Market risks are also discussed in the
Company's Annual Report and Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2004 (the
"Annual Report") in the Financial Review.
Critical Accounting Policies
The Company's critical accounting policies, including the assumptions and
judgments underlying them, are disclosed in the Company's Annual Report in the
Financial Review. These policies have been consistently applied in all material
respects. While the estimates and judgments associated with the application of
these policies may be affected by different assumptions or conditions, the
Company believes the estimates and judgments associated with the reported
amounts are appropriate in the circumstances.
Recent Relevant Accounting Pronouncements
On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
SFAS No. 123R, "Share-Based Payment," which requires companies to expense the
value of employee stock options and similar awards. In accordance with a
Securities and Exchange Commission rule issued in April 2005, SFAS No. 123R is
effective for the Company's fiscal year beginning December 1, 2005. Adoption of
this standard is expected to reduce the Company's net earnings and earnings per
share for interim and annual periods after adoption. Management has not fully
determined the impact of adopting SFAS No. 123R, but expects that fiscal year
2006 EPS may be reduced by approximately $0.04 if the modified prospective
method of reporting is selected.
On December 21, 2004, the FASB issued two FSPs regarding the accounting
implications of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the Act). FSP No. 109-1,
"Application of FASB Statement No. 109 `Accounting for Income Taxes' to the Tax
Deduction on Qualified Production Activities Provided by the American Jobs
Creation Act of 2004" is not expected to have an effect on the Company's
effective tax rate until fiscal 2006. FSP No. 109-2, "Accounting and Disclosure
Guidance for the Foreign Earnings Repatriation Provision within the American
Jobs Creation Act of 2004" was effective for fiscal 2004 and allows the Company
additional time to evaluate the impact of the Act on its plan for repatriation
of foreign earnings. The Company is currently exploring a one time repatriation
of earnings from certain foreign affiliates but has not made a decision
regarding such repatriation.
Page 17
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, Continued
Outlook
Continued sales growth for the Company overall is expected for the remainder of
2005. Engine/Mobile segment sales are expected to grow due to increased
aftermarket distribution, sales to OEM dealers and sales of new products. A
continued strong demand for truck and railroad freight to move goods worldwide
supports the expected sales growth for the Engine/Mobile segment. Sales are
expected to increase for the Industrial/Environmental segment as a result of
sales from the PEFP acquisitions. Several initiatives, including an increased
level of HVAC filter sales staff and the introduction of new products, are
expected to improve sales levels; however, these efforts may not fully offset
reduced demand for HVAC filters, particularly related to automotive plants.
Continued sales growth is also expected for specialty filtration products,
including those used in oil and gas drilling applications, aviation and waste
water treatment. The Industrial/Environmental segment's operating profit in the
second half of 2005 is expected to improve as a result of reduced costs and
improvements that are being made in its HVAC filtration manufacturing
facilities. Sales for the Packaging segment are expected to be slightly stronger
than the sales run rate in second quarter of 2005, with operating margins
consistent with those recorded in the second quarter.
As a result of the anticipated overall sales growth for the Company combined
with continued cost control efforts, it is expected that diluted earnings per
share for 2005 will be in the $1.32 to $1.38 range. As the implementation date
related to SFAS No. 123R has been delayed until fiscal 2006 for the Company,
this range does not include expense for stock-based compensation that will be
required after adoption of SFAS No. 123R.
Continued emphasis on cost reductions and price changes within each business
unit are expected to offset costs that have increased for energy and purchased
materials, primarily metal and petroleum-based products. These costs for the
Company may change significantly based on future changes in the U.S. and world
economies. Capital investments will continue to be made in each segment's
facilities to improve productivity and to support new products. While the
Company fully anticipates that sales and profits will improve as a result of
sales initiatives and cost reductions, the Company has developed contingency
plans to reduce discretionary spending if unfavorable economic conditions
persist.
CLARCOR continues to assess acquisition opportunities, primarily in related
filtration businesses. It is expected that these acquisitions would expand the
Company's market base, distribution coverage and product offerings.
FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION IS SUBJECT TO RISK AND UNCERTAINTY
Certain statements quoted in the body of this report, and statements in the
"Outlook" section of this report are forward-looking. These statements involve
risk and uncertainty. Actual future results and trends may differ materially
depending on a variety of factors including: the volume and timing of orders
received during the period; the mix of changes in distribution channels through
which the Company's products are sold; the success of the Company's Total
Filtration Program; the timing and acceptance of new products and product
enhancements by the Company or its competitors; changes in pricing, labor
availability and related costs, product life cycles and purchasing patterns of
distributors and customers; changes in costs of raw materials, insurance,
pensions and energy; competitive conditions in the industry; business cycles
affecting the markets in which the Company's products are sold; the success of
sales and marketing programs; the effectiveness of plant conversions, plant
expansions and productivity improvement programs; the management of both
Page 18

growth and acquisitions; the cost of regulatory requirements such as
Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404; the effect of changes in accounting rules; the
fluctuation in foreign and U.S. currency exchange rates; market disruptions
caused by domestic or international conflicts; extraordinary events such as
litigation, acquisitions or divestitures including related charges; and economic
conditions generally or in various geographic areas. All of the foregoing
matters are difficult to forecast. The future results of the Company may
fluctuate as a result of these and the other risk factors detailed from time to
time in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Due to the foregoing items it is possible that in some future quarters the
Company's operating results will be below the expectation of stock market
analysts and investors. In such event, the price of CLARCOR common stock could
be materially adversely affected.

Part I - Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk.
The information required hereunder is set forth on Page 15 of the Quarterly
Report under the captions "Management's Discussion and Analysis - Other
Matters - Market Risk."
Part I - Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
The Company has established disclosure controls and procedures which are
designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports
filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 are recorded,
processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in
the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Norman E.
Johnson, Chairman of the Board, President, and Chief Executive Officer and
Bruce A. Klein, Vice President - Finance and Chief Financial Officer,
evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and
procedures as of May 28, 2005. Based on their evaluation, they concluded
that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective in
achieving the objectives for which they were designed. No change in the
Company's internal control over financial reporting occurred during the
Company's most recent fiscal quarter ended May 28, 2005 that has materially
affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's
internal control over financial reporting.

Item 4 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
At the annual meeting of shareholders of CLARCOR Inc. held on March 21,
2005, all of management's nominees for directors, as listed in the proxy
statement dated February 17, 2005, were elected. The Company had 25,733,057
shares of common stock outstanding (before the two-for-one stock split) as
