EXHIBIT 99.4
Item 9.01 (b) PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)
i. Pro Forma Financial Information — Introduction
The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements (pro forma statements) present the effect of the acquisition of the Perry Equipment Corporation and its subsidiaries (hereinafter referred to as Peco) on the financial position and results of operations of CLARCOR Inc. (hereinafter referred to as CLARCOR or the Company). CLARCOR’s fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to November 30. The 2007 fiscal year ended December 1, 2007. In the pro forma condensed combined financial statements, fiscal year 2007 is shown to begin as of December 1 and end as of November 30 for clarity of presentation.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of November 30, 2007 is based upon the audited historical balance sheet of CLARCOR and the unaudited historical balance sheet of Peco as of November 30, 2007 and assumes the acquisition took place on November 30, 2007. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of earnings for the year ended November 30, 2007 is based on the audited historical statement of earnings of CLARCOR for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2007 and the unaudited historical statement of earnings of Peco for the twelve months ended November 30, 2007 and has been prepared assuming the acquisition took place at the beginning of fiscal 2007. Peco had a May fiscal year-end. In order to prepare Peco’s unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of earnings for the twelve months ended November 30, 2007, Peco’s unaudited operating results for the period from June 1, 2007 through November 30, 2007 were added to its audited results for the fiscal year ended May 2007 and the unaudited operating results for the period from June 1, 2006 through November 30, 2006 were deducted.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. They do not purport to be indicative of the results of operations or financial position of CLARCOR that would have occurred had the acquisition actually been completed on December 1, 2006, or which may occur in the future.
The acquisition will be accounted for by the purchase method of accounting pursuant to Statement of Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141, “Business Combinations” with CLARCOR treated as the acquirer. Under purchase accounting, the total purchase price and direct acquisition expenses paid by CLARCOR will be allocated to the acquired tangible and intangible assets and assumed liabilities of Peco based upon their respective fair values as of the effective time of the acquisition based on management’s valuations and other studies which are not yet complete. The excess of purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill.
A preliminary allocation of the estimated purchase price has been made to major categories of assets and liabilities in the accompanying pro forma statements based on available information and is currently subject to change. The allocation will be completed when CLARCOR finishes its appraisal of the assets acquired (which includes completing an assessment of the liabilities assumed) and finalizes the estimates associated with deferred taxes and other costs related to the acquisition. The actual allocation of the final purchase price and the resulting effect on income from operations may differ from the unaudited pro forma amounts included herein. The pro forma adjustments are described in the accompanying notes and represent CLARCOR’s preliminary determination of purchase accounting adjustments based upon available information and certain assumptions that CLARCOR believes are reasonable. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of earnings does not include the impact of any revenues, costs or other operating synergies and non-recurring charges expected to result from the acquisition. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of earnings does include certain non-recurring expenses that Peco incurred as part of the transaction. See Note 3.c.

CLARCOR and Peco management have performed an initial review of their respective accounting policies and have preliminarily determined that conforming Peco’s policies to CLARCOR’s policies, where applicable, creates no significant differences that impact the unaudited pro forma statements.
The accompanying unaudited pro forma statements should be read in connection with the separate historical financial statements and notes thereto included in CLARCOR’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2007 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 28, 2008, and Peco’s historical financial statements and notes thereto included in Exhibits 99.2 and 99.3 on this Current Report on Form 8-K/A.

Item 9.01 (b) iv.
NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
(Dollars in thousands, except per share data) (Unaudited)
Note 1. Description of Transaction
On December 3, 2007, the Company acquired Peco, a privately-owned manufacturer of engineered filtration products and technologies used in a wide array of industries, including oil and natural gas, refining, power generation, petrochemical, food and beverage, electronics, polymers and pulp and paper. Peco is based in Mineral Wells, Texas with operations in Mexico, Canada, the United Kingdom, Italy, Romania, Malaysia and China. Peco will be merged with the Company’s Facet operations with its headquarters based in Mineral Wells. Peco was acquired to expand the Company’s product offerings, technology, filtration solutions and customer base in the growing oil and natural gas industries. Its results will be included as part of the Company’s Industrial/Environmental Filtration segment. The initial purchase price was approximately $158,000 and was subject to a post-closing adjustment based on a formula in the purchase agreement. The post-closing adjustment resulted in a payment of approximately $1,831 from the sellers to CLARCOR. The Company issued 2,137,797 shares of CLARCOR common stock with a value of approximately $71,958 and paid the remaining purchase price with $6,050 of cash on hand and approximately $80,000 of cash borrowed under the Company’s revolving credit agreement. The Company also incurred approximately $1,600 in direct acquisition costs.
Note 2. Unaudited Pro forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet
Under purchase accounting, the purchase price of Peco is allocated to the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values as of December 3, 2007 with any excess purchase price allocated as goodwill. The allocation of the purchase price is preliminary. Accordingly, further changes to the fair values of the assets acquired (including, but not limited to goodwill, identifiable intangible assets, net deferred tax assets and property, plant and equipment) and liabilities assumed will be recorded as the valuation and purchase price allocations for the acquisition are finalized during fiscal 2008.
The components of the purchase price were as follows:
                 
Cash paid to Peco shareholders
          $ 86,050  
CLARCOR common stock issued to Peco shareholders
    2,137,797          
Average closing price per share of CLARCOR stock for the five trading days centered around the October 17, 2007 announcement of the purchase agreement
  $ 33.66          
 
             
Total value of CLARCOR common stock consideration
            71,958  
Estimate of CLARCOR direct acquisition costs
            1,600  
 
             
 
          $ 159,608  
Less estimated post-closing purchase price adjustment
            1,831  
 
             
Total consideration
          $ 157,777

For the purposes of determining the purchase price allocation, the fair market value of intangible assets was estimated as of December 3, 2007, the closing date of acquisition. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price was as follows:
         
Total consideration
  $ 157,777  
Less cash balance acquired
    15,157  
 
     
Net Consideration
  $ 142,620

    (1,487 )
 
     
 
  $ 142,620  
 
     
The following adjustments have been reflected in the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet:
  a.   Records an $80,000 increase to cash from borrowings under CLARCOR’s line of credit and decreases to cash from the $86,050 payment of the cash purchase price less the estimated post-closing purchase price adjustment of $1,831 received by CLARCOR, the $7,411 payment of Peco’s borrowings under its pre-existing line of credit and the estimated $1,600 payment of CLARCOR’s direct acquisition costs. Cash resources are:
         
Cash and cash equivalents
  $ 36,059  
Borrowing under line of credit
    80,000  
 
     
Total
  $ 116,059  
 
     
On the date of acquisition, CLARCOR borrowed funds under its $165,000 five-year multicurrency revolving credit agreement at an interest rate that is based upon either a defined Base Rate or the London Interbank offered Rate (LIBOR) plus or minus applicable margins. On December 18, 2007, the Company entered into a new five-year multicurrency revolving credit agreement with a group of financial institutions under which it may borrow up to $250,000 under a selection of currencies and rate formulas. This credit agreement replaced the $165,000 credit agreement described above which would have expired in April 2008. On December 1, 2006, CLARCOR had sufficient credit available under the $165,000 line of credit to fund the acquisition and Peco’s operations. The interest rate on the new credit agreement is based upon either a defined Base Rate or the London Interbank offered Rate (LIBOR) plus or minus applicable margins. Commitment fees, letter of credit fees and other fees are payable as provided in the new credit agreement.
  b.   Reflects adjusting Peco’s inventory on its consolidated balance sheet to its estimated selling price less costs to sell.
 
  c.   Reflects an adjustment of the net book value of Peco’s property, plant & equipment to its estimated fair value. Plant assets will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over the remaining estimated useful lives of the respective assets, which range from 3 years to 15 years.

6


 

  d.   Adjusts goodwill to represent the purchase price remaining after the allocation to the fair value of tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired less liabilities assumed.
 
  e.   Recognizes the estimated fair value of Peco’s identifiable intangible assets. The assets and their useful lives are estimated as follows:
                 
            Estimated  
Identifiable Intangible Asset   Value     Useful Life  
 
Trade Name
  $ 11,800     Indefinite
Non-Compete Agreements
    800     2 years
Customer Relationships
    14,200     15 years
Developed Technology
    20,300     16 years
 
             
Total fair market value adjustment
  $ 47,100          
 
             
  f.   Represents an adjustment to the fair value of Peco’s pension plan to reflect a net underfunded position of $1,378. A deferred tax asset of $1,399 and accumulated other comprehensive income of $2,716 were removed as part of this adjustment.
 
  g.   Records an estimate of net deferred tax liabilities as a result of the fair value adjustment of certain net assets and the tax planning strategies of the combined entity.
 
  h.   Reflects the 2,137,797 shares of CLARCOR $1 par value common stock issued (total value approximately $71,958 or $33.66 per share) as partial payment of the purchase price. Upon completion of the transaction, approximately 51,356,619 shares of CLARCOR stock would have been outstanding on November 30, 2007.
 
  i.   Eliminates the Peco shareholders’ equity accounts.
Note 3. Unaudited Pro forma Condensed Combined Statement of Earnings
  a.   Reflects estimated additional property, plant & equipment depreciation expense resulting from the fair value adjustment of Peco’s plant assets, which will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over their respective estimated useful lives. Approximately $670 is recorded as cost of sales and $130 is recorded as selling and administrative expense.
 
  b.   Records the estimated intangible asset amortization expense of $2,800 as selling and administrative expense for the year ended November 30, 2007 based on estimated useful lives as described in Note 2.e.
 
  c.   Removes the non-recurring legal and professional fees of $2,866 that Peco incurred and expensed in the twelve-month period ending November 30, 2007 as a direct result of the acquisition transaction.
 
  d.   Reclassifies certain items, such as currency gains and losses, that Peco included as non-operating items in their historical financial statements to conform to CLARCOR’s financial statement presentation.
 
  e.   Records the interest expense for the year ended November 30, 2007 on the $80,000 debt incurred as payment of the purchase price assuming a weighted-average interest rate of 5.7935% (based on the $165,000 multicurrency revolving credit agreement discussed in Note 2.a.) and removes the interest expense Peco recorded on its line of credit. A change in the interest rate of 1/8 of a percent would impact interest expense by approximately $100.

7


 

  f.   Represents the estimated tax effect of the pro forma adjustments based on CLARCOR’s combined federal and state statutory tax rate of 36.6%.
 
  g.   Reflects the issuance of 2,137,797 shares of common stock in consideration of part of the purchase price and assumes the shares were outstanding the entire year.
Note 4. Computation of Earnings per Share
The Company calculates basic earnings per share by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share reflects the impact of outstanding stock options, restricted stock and other stock-based arrangements. The following table provides a reconciliation of the denominator utilized in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the twelve months ended November 30, 2007:
         
Pro Forma Net Earnings
  $ 93,444  
Basic EPS:
       
Pro forma weighted average number of common shares outstanding assuming the additional shares issued to Peco shareholders as part of the purchase price were outstanding all year
    52,483,571  
Basic per share amount
  $ 1.78  
 
     
 
       
Diluted EPS:
       
Pro forma weighted average number of common shares outstanding per above
    52,483,571  
Dilutive effect of stock-based arrangements common shares outstanding
    539,540  
 
     
Diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding
    53,023,111  
Diluted per share amount
  $ 1.76  
 
     
For twelve months ended November 30, 2007, 57,825 stock options with a weighted average exercise price of $35.90 were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share as the exercise prices of the options were greater than the average market price of the common shares during the respective period.
Note 5. Non-recurring item
Peco reversed an $867 tax valuation allowance related to one of its international subsidiaries which decreased tax expense for the twelve months ended November 30, 2007. Without this adjustment, Peco’s effective tax rate for the twelve months ended November 30, 2007 would have been approximately 33.5%.
