CLARCOR INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------


1.    CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

      The November 30, 1994 consolidated balance sheet data was derived from
      audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures
      required by generally accepted accounting principles.

      The consolidated balance sheet as of June 3, 1995, the consolidated
      statements of earnings, and the consolidated statements of cash flows for
      the periods ended June 3, 1995 and May 28, 1994, have been prepared by the
      Company without audit. 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.

      Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
      financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
      accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that
      these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the
      consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the
      Company's November 30, 1994 annual report to shareholders. The results of
      operations for the period ended June 3, 1995 are not necessarily
      indicative of the operating results for the full year.


2.    SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

      During the quarter ended March 4, 1995, the Company retired all of the
      shares of common stock held in treasury. All such shares resumed the
      status of authorized and unissued shares of common stock of the Company.


3.    INCOME TAXES

      In December 1993, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of
      Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109 "Accounting for Income
      Taxes". SFAS 109 requires a change from the deferred to the liability
      method of computing deferred income taxes. The liability method requires
      the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected
      future tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax basis and
      financial reporting basis of assets and liabilities. The cumulative effect
      of adoption as of the beginning of fiscal 1994 was to increase net
      earnings by $630.

PART I - ITEM 2

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


CLARCOR continued to report strong operating results in the current year.
Records for second quarter levels were reported in sales, operating profit, net
earnings from continuing operations, and earnings per share. Each of these
categories was substantially higher when compared to the same period last year.
Sales and earnings gains were reported in both the Filtration Products and
Consumer Products segments. The Company's expectations for the remainder of the
year include increases in sales and profits for both of these business segments
on an annual basis when compared to last year.

Record second quarter sales of $70,478,000 increased 8.2% over the level of
$65,131,000 reported in the comparable quarter of the prior year. Sales in the
Filtration Products segment reached $54,299,000, 7.3% over sales of $50,629,000
in the prior year's quarter. This increase was chiefly the result of higher
sales in the heavy duty and railroad locomotive filter markets. Consumer
Products segment sales in the current quarter improved to $16,179,000, 11.6%
over the same quarter last year, due chiefly to increased sales of plastic
closures.

The Company's operating profit increased 21.6% over the prior year to
$8,672,000, a record level for the second quarter. Operating profit in the
Filtration segment increased 18.1% to $7,313,000, mainly attributable to the
profit contributed by the increased sales of heavy duty and railroad locomotive
products. Operating profit of $1,359,000 in the Consumer Products segment
increased 44.4% when compared to profit in the same quarter last year. The
increased profit was due to the segment's higher shipments volume, principally
in plastic closures. The consolidated operating margin improved to 12.3% in the
current quarter from 11.0% in the same period last year. Both business segments
reflected margin improvements.

When compared to the prior year's second quarter, current quarter earnings
before income taxes increased 23.0% to $8,171,000, the result of increased
earnings in both of the Company's operating segments.

The provision for income taxes in the current second quarter was $3,265,000, and
represented an effective rate of 40.0% of pre-tax earnings. This compares to
prior year second quarter income taxes totaling $2,469,000, or an effective rate
of 37.2%.

Consolidated net earnings totaled $4,906,000 for the second quarter, a record
for earnings from continuing operations. Driven by increased business in both
the groups, the Company recorded an increase of 17.5% over comparable earnings
of $4,175,000 last year.

Per share earnings in the current quarter were $.33, and compare to $.28 in the
second quarter of 1994.

Continuing the Company's record pace, year-to-date net sales of $132,615,000
increased 9.6% over sales of $121,021,000 in the comparable period last year.
Sales increases were recorded in both of the Company's segments. In the
Filtration Products segment, sales increased 9.1% over last year's second
quarter. Sales increases were recorded in the segment's heavy duty business and
in the railroad locomotive business. Year-to-date Consumer Products sales
increased 11.4% over last year. This increase reflects six month plastic closure
sales which are more than double the level of the comparable period last year.

PART I - ITEM 2

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

           OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, CONTINUED


CLARCOR's year-to-date operating profit increased 17.4% over the prior year to
$15,299,000. Operating profit in the Filtration Products segment increased 13.0%
on strong sales increases of heavy duty and railroad locomotive products.
Consumer Products segment operating profit increased 58.1% over the comparable
period last year. Although profit was higher in the second quarter of the prior
year, year-to-date profits were lower last year because of the significantly
lower first quarter profits on reduced volume.

Other expense reflected a year-to-date net $513,000 in the current year,
compared to a net expense of $850,000 in the prior year. The current year
decrease from last year is due chiefly to lower interest expense on reduced
long-term debt balances.

Earnings before income taxes totaled $14,786,000 for the current six months.
This was a 21.4% increase over pre-tax income in the prior year six-month
period. The comparison benefited from increased current year earnings in both
the Filtration and Consumer segments.

The current six-month provision for income taxes was $5,908,000, an effective
tax rate of 40.0%. This compares to prior year six-month income tax expense of
$4,593,000, or an effective rate of 37.7%.

Net earnings from operations for the current six-month period totaled
$8,878,000, an increase of 17.0% over earnings of $7,590,000 before the
cumulative effect of an accounting change last year. Effective December of 1993,
CLARCOR adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes", which resulted in a $630,000
earnings increase. This boosted prior year net earnings to a total of
$8,220,000. Current year six-month total net earnings of $8,878,000 represent an
increase of 8.0% over the prior year's six-month total.

Year-to-date net earnings per share from operations, before the cumulative
effect of an accounting change, were $.60, and compare to $.51 in the second
quarter of 1994. The 1994 per share earnings were increased by $.04 from the
cumulative effect of adopting the income tax accounting standard. Year-to-date
total earnings per share reached $.60, compared to total earnings per share of
$.55 in 1994.

CLARCOR continued to maintain a strong balance sheet and sufficient liquidity
for its current level of operations.

Total assets were $192,655,000 at June 3, 1995, 2.2% higher than year-end total
assets of $188,448,000. At June 3, 1995, consolidated working capital totaled
$56,405,000, down slightly from the level at year-end 1994. Working capital
declined as current assets remained at comparable levels, but current
liabilities grew. The current ratio at the end of the second quarter was 2.3:1,
compared to 2.5:1 at November 30, 1994.

During the first six months, net plant assets increased  $3,662,000 to
$56,277,000,  as the Company invested  $7,656,000 in new productive capacity.

PART I - ITEM 2

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

           OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, CONTINUED


Long-term debt less the current portion continued to decline in the current six
months to $13,300,000, as scheduled debt repayments were made during the period.

Reflecting the first six month's results, consolidated shareholders' equity
increased $4,428,000 to $121,890,000. This compares to the November 30, 1994
level of $117,462,000.

Total capitalization at the end of the second quarter increased $715,000 to
$135,190,000. This compares to $134,475,000 at the prior year-end. As a percent
of total capitalization, long-term debt at the end of the second quarter was
9.8%, compared to 12.7% at the end of fiscal 1994.

CLARCOR's cash declined  $14,410,000,  to $5,157,000 at June  3, 1995.  This
compares to a  year-to-date  cash reduction of $10,497,000 in 1994.

Net cash provided by year-to-date operating activities totaled $1,534,000
compared to a total of $1,940,000 in the first six months of 1994. Although the
current six months reflected greater net earnings, most of these earnings were
invested in operating assets.

Net cash used in current year investing activities totaled $7,690,000, compared
to $3,975,000 of net cash generated in the first six months of the prior year.
The increase is attributable to current year investment in plant assets, which
is $3,074,000 higher than in the prior year's six-month period.

Current year financing activities used net cash of $8,300,000, compared to
$8,462,000 of net cash used in the prior year. Both years reflect comparable
amounts for long-term debt reduction and cash dividend payments.

CLARCOR's current operations continue to generate sufficient cash to fund
operating needs, to fund normal levels of additions to productive capacity, and
to provide for the repayment of the Company's long-term debt. In the current
year, the Company plans to add plant and equipment totaling nearly $17,000,000,
compared to normal levels of approximately $11,000,000. Sufficient lines of
credit are available to the Company to meet the needs of its current operations.
