ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS.
Quarterly Income Statement Data:
- --------------------------------

On February 28, 1997, CLARCOR Inc. (the "Company") completed its acquisition of
United Air Specialists, Inc. (UAS), a manufacturer of air quality equipment
based in Cincinnati, Ohio. The Company issued 1,081,741 shares of its common    
stock in exchange for all the shares of UAS stock. Additional shares of its
common stock (approximately 127,590 shares) will be issued upon exercise of UAS
options. The transaction has been structured as a statutory merger accounted
for as a pooling of interests. As a result of the acquisition, UAS became a
subsidiary of the Company.

Under the requirements of the pooling of interests accounting treatment, the
consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries have been
restated (except for cash dividends declared per share, which represent the
historical dividends declared by the Company) to include the results of UAS'
operations as part of the Company's Industrial/Environmental Filtration
segment. UAS' fiscal year-end has been changed to the Saturday closest to
November 30, and, as a result, the Company's restated consolidated financial
statements for fiscal 1996 include UAS for identical periods. The Company has
reclassified certain costs incurred by UAS in the prior periods to conform with
the presentation of such data by the Company.

The attached Exhibit A presents certain unaudited, restated quarterly income
statement data for the year ended November 30, 1996, and the segment data for
1996, along with comparative data for the first quarter of 1997. No
intercompany transactions existed between the two companies during the periods
presented. Intersegment sales were not material.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal
recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the results of operations
have been made. Exhibit A does not include all disclosures required by
generally accepted accounting principles. The financial data presented are not
necessarily indicative of future results of the combined companies.
