Michigan Ave., Suite 2500 Accountants and Consultants Chicago, Illinois 60601 Telephone: (312) 856-9100 Fax: (312) 856-1379 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Plan Committee of the CLARCOR 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the CLARCOR 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements, but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan's management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole. /s/ BDO SEIDMAN, LLP -------------------------- Chicago, Illinois May 26, 2004 3 CLARCOR 401(k) RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN STATEMENTS OF NET ASSETS AVAILABLE FOR BENEFITS

See accompanying notes to financial statements. 5 CLARCOR 401(k) RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. DESCRIPTION OF PLAN The following brief description of the CLARCOR Inc. (the "Company") 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan (the "Plan") is provided for general information purposes only. Participants should refer to the Summary Plan Description for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions. GENERAL The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering substantially all domestic employees of the Company who have three months of service and are 21 or older. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"). Each year, participants may contribute up to 50% of pretax annual compensation, as defined in the Plan, up to the Internal Revenue Code limitations. Participants may also elect to make after-tax contributions to the Plan up to 10% of the participant's compensation, and may also contribute amounts representing distributions from other qualified defined benefit or defined contribution plans. The Company contributes 50% of the first 3% of pretax compensation that a participant contributes to the Plan, with the exception of certain employees, as defined in the Plan, who receive Company contributions up to 40% of the first 6% of pretax contributions that a participant contributes to the Plan. PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contribution and allocations of the Company's contributions and Plan earnings. Allocations are based on participant account balances, as defined. The only benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant's vested account. Participants direct the investment of their contributions into various investment options offered by the Plan. The Plan currently offers a common/collective trust, Company common stock and 11 mutual funds as investment options for participants. 6 CLARCOR 401(k) RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS VESTING Participants are immediately vested in their contributions, plus actual earnings thereon. Vesting in the Company's contribution portion of their accounts is based on years of continuous service. A participant is vested as follows:
Total years of service Vested Percentage ---------------------- ----------------- 1 0% 2 0% 3 100%
PARTICIPANT LOANS Participants may borrow from their accounts a minimum of $1,000 and participants may have only one loan outstanding. Loans are repaid through payroll deductions with principal and interest being credited to the participants' account balances. Loans may not exceed the lesser of 50% of the participant's vested balance or $50,000 and loans are to be repaid over a period of time not to exceed five years, unless used for the purchase of a principal residence, in which case the payback period may not exceed 15 years. The loans are secured by the balance in the participant's account and bear interest at the prime rate plus 2% at the time of the loan. PAYMENT OF BENEFITS Upon termination of service, death, disability or retirement, participants, or their beneficiaries, will receive lump-sum benefit payments. Benefits paid are equal to the value of the participant's vested interest in his or her account. Subject to certain provisions specified in the Plan agreement, employed participants may withdraw their after-tax contributions and related earnings. Withdrawals from the Plan may also be made upon circumstances of financial hardship in accordance with provisions specified in the Plan. 7 CLARCOR 401(k) RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FORFEITED ACCOUNTS Forfeitures are used to reduce future Company contributions. Approximately $ 76,962 and $123,660 was used to reduce Company contributions during 2003 and 2002, respectively. ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES The Company pays substantially all of the Plan's administrative expenses. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES BASIS OF ACCOUNTING The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual method of accounting. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires Plan management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of net assets available for benefits at the date of the financial statements and the changes in net assets available for benefits during the reporting period and, when applicable, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES The Plan provides for various investment options in any combination of stocks, bonds, fixed income securities, mutual funds and other investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market valuation and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities and the level of uncertainty related to changes in the value of investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in risks could materially affect participants' account balances and the amounts reported in the statement of net assets available for benefits and the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits. Individual participants' accounts bear the risk of loss resulting from fluctuations in fund values. 8 CLARCOR 401(k) RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS INVESTMENT VALUATION The Plan's investments are stated at fair market value. Quoted market prices are used to value investments. Shares of mutual funds and shares of the common/collective trust are valued at the net asset value of shares or units held by the Plan at year end. The Company common stock fund is valued at the year end unit closing price, based on the quoted market price of the Company common stock plus uninvested cash. Participant loans are valued at cost which approximates fair market value. PAYMENT OF BENEFITS Benefits are recorded when paid. 3. SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENTS The fair market value of individual investments that represent 5% or more of the Plan's net assets are as follows:
December 31, 2003 2002 ------------ ---- ---- CLARCOR Inc. common stock fund $ 6,028,727 $ 4,077,999 Vanguard 500 Index Fund 20,362,495 15,453,480 Vanguard U. S. Growth Fund 4,689,615 * Vanguard Intermediate Term Corporate Fund * 4,104,755 Vanguard Wellington Fund 13,394,381 10,850,852 Vanguard Windsor II Fund 4,741,372 * Vanguard Retirement Savings Trust 21,591,076 21,501,946
-------------------- * Value not greater than 5% of net assets. 4. RELATED-PARTY The Plan invests in shares of mutual funds managed TRANSACTIONS by an affiliate of Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company. Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company acts as trustee for only those investments as defined by the Plan. Transactions in such investments qualify as party-in-interest transactions which are exempt from the prohibited transaction rules. CLARCOR Inc. common stock fund contains shares of common stock issued by the Company. The Company is the plan sponsor as defined by the Plan and, therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest. 9 CLARCOR 401(k) RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 5. PLAN TERMINATION Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan termination, participants will become 100% vested in their employer contributions. 6. TAX STATUS The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by a letter dated April 8, 2002 that the Plan and related trust is designed in accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC"). Although the Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter, the Plan Administrator and the Plan's tax counsel believe that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC. 7. UBSEQUENT EVENT Effective January 1, 2004, the Company restated and amended the Plan. Significant changes included an amendment to cover only those eligible employees who elected to continue participation in the CLARCOR Inc. Pension Plan. All other eligible employees may participate in the CLARCOR 401(k) Plan, a "safe harbor" tax-qualified 401(k) plan. 10 SUPPLEMENTAL SCHEDULE CLARCOR 401(k) RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN STATEMENTS OF ASSETS (HELD AT END OF YEAR) ================================================================================ EIN: 36-0922490 Plan Number: 009 Form 5500 December 31, 2003
