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 audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the auditing 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 audit provides 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, 2004, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2004, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Our audit was made 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 as of December 31, 2004 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/ Horne LLP Nashville, Tennessee June 10, 2005 3 CLARCOR 401(K) PLAN STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS AVAILABLE FOR BENEFITS ================================================================================ December 31, 2004 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ASSETS INVESTMENTS, at fair value Common/collective trust $12,617,525 Mutual funds 38,392,295 CLARCOR Inc. common stock fund 4,556,032 Participant loans 1,759,350 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total investments 57,325,202 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RECEIVABLES Employer contributions 212,415 Participant contributions 361,474 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Receivables 573,889 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NET ASSETS AVAILABLE FOR BENEFITS $57,899,091 ================================================================================ See accompanying notes to financial statements. 4 CLARCOR 401(K) PLAN STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN NET ASSETS AVAILABLE FOR BENEFITS ================================================================================ Year ended December 31, 2004 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ADDITIONS Investment income Interest income from common/collective trust $ 426,842 Dividend income from CLARCOR Inc. common stock fund 29,842 Interest income from participant loans 80,226 Dividend income from mutual funds 947,856 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total interest and dividends 1,484,766 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net appreciation in fair value of Mutual funds 2,697,188 CLARCOR Inc. common stock fund 890,280 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total net appreciation 3,587,468 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total investment income 5,072,234 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Contributions Employer 2,556,332 Participant 4,298,248 Rollover 99,512 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total contributions 6,954,092 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Transfers in 50,399,956 Total additions 62,426,282 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DEDUCTIONS Benefits paid to participants 4,522,011 Administrative fees 5,180 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TOTAL DEDUCTIONS 4,527,191 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NET INCREASE 57,899,091 NET ASSETS AVAILABLE FOR BENEFITS, at beginning of year -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NET ASSETS AVAILABLE FOR BENEFITS, at end of year $57,899,091 ================================================================================ See accompanying notes to financial statements. 5 CLARCOR 401(K) PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ================================================================================ 1. DESCRIPTION OF PLAN The following brief description of the CLARCOR Inc. (the "Company") 401(k) 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 established January 1, 2004, which covers eligible domestic employees of the Company who have three months of service and are 21 or older, and who are not continuing participation in the CLARCOR Inc. Pension Plan effective January 1, 2004. 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 contribute amounts representing distributions from other qualified defined benefit or defined contribution plans. The Company contributes 100% of the first 3% and 50% of the next 2% of pretax compensation 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) PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ================================================================================ VESTING As this is a safe harbor match plan, participants are immediately vested in their contributions and the Company's match, plus actual earnings thereon. 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. FORFEITED ACCOUNTS Forfeitures are used to reduce future Company contributions. This Plan was established January 1, 2004, and no forfeitures were used to reduce 2004 Company contributions. ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES The Company pays substantially all of the Plan's administrative expenses. 7 CLARCOR 401(K) PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ================================================================================ 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. INVESTMENT VALUATION The Plan's investments are stated at fair 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 value. PAYMENT OF BENEFITS Benefits are recorded when paid. 8 3. SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENTS The fair value of individual investments that represent 5% or more of the Plan's net assets are as follows: December 31, 2004 ----------------------------------------------------- CLARCOR Inc. common stock fund $ 4,556,032 Vanguard 500 Index Fund 11,635,047 Vanguard U. S. Growth Fund 3,604,574 Vanguard Wellington Fund 7,199,072 Vanguard Windsor II Fund 3,694,258 Vanguard Retirement Savings Trust 12,617,525 ----------------------------------------------------- * Value not greater than 5% of net assets. 4. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS The Plan invests in shares of mutual funds managed 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. 5. TRANSFERS IN Transfers In are comprised of $46,227,506 from the CLARCOR 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan, $4,273,722 conversion from the United EFP 401(k) Plan, and reclassifications of ($101,272). 6. 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. 7. TAX STATUS On June 4, 2004, a request was filed with The Internal Revenue Service to determine that the Plan and related trust is designed in accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC"). 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. 9 SUPPLEMENTAL SCHEDULE CLARCOR 401(K) PLAN SCHEDULE OF ASSETS (HELD AT END OF YEAR) ================================================================================ EIN: 36-0922490 Plan Number: 010 Form 5500 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2004 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (e) CURRENT VALUE AT (b) (c) (d) DECEMBER 31, (a) IDENTITY OF ISSUER DESCRIPTION OF INVESTMENT COST 2004 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * CLARCOR INC.
