1.	CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Basis of Presentation

The Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings and the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Cash Flows for the periods ended February 26, 2011 and February 27, 2010 and the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet as of February 26, 2011 have been prepared by CLARCOR Inc. (“CLARCOR” or “the Company”) without audit. The Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements have been prepared on the same basis as those in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 27, 2010 (“2010 Form 10-K”). The November 27, 2010 Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet data was derived from the Company’s year-end audited Consolidated Financial Statements as presented in the 2010 Form 10-K but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 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. The results of operations for the period ended February 26, 2011, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s 2010 Form 10-K.

Inventories are summarized as follows:

	February 26,		November 27,
	2011		2010
Raw materials	$	72,078	$	67,011

New Accounting Guidance

In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance on revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables effective for the Company’s 2011 fiscal year, although early adoption is permitted. The guidance revises the criteria for separating, measuring, and allocating arrangement consideration to each deliverable in a multiple element arrangement. The guidance requires companies to allocate revenue using the relative selling price of each deliverable, which must be estimated if the company does not have a history of selling the deliverable on a stand-alone basis or third-party evidence of selling price. The impact of adopting this guidance on November 28, 2010 was not material to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

(Unaudited)

In December 2010, the FASB issued guidance to modify the steps a company performs in preparing its goodwill impairment test. The guidance deals specifically with reporting units having zero or negative carrying amounts. For those reporting units, a company is required to perform the second step of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, a company should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that an impairment may exist. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance on December 4, 2011 to have a material impact on the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

In December 2010, the FASB also issued guidance which amends the pro forma disclosure requirements for business combinations and specifies that if a public company presents comparative financial statements, the company should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though business combinations occurring during the year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The guidance also expands the pro forma disclosure requirements to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance on December 4, 2011 to have a material impact on the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

2.	BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS, INVESTMENTS AND REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS

Business Acquisitions

On December 29, 2010, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding membership interests in TransWeb LLC (“TransWeb”), a privately-owned manufacturer of media used in a variety of end-use applications, including respirators and HVAC filters. Founded in 1996 and based in Vineland, New Jersey, TransWeb has supplied media to a subsidiary of the Company for several years. TransWeb was acquired to expand the Company’s technology capabilities in the area of media development and to enhance the product offerings of our filtration operating companies. TransWeb’s results are included in the Industrial/Environmental Filtration segment from the date of acquisition. Net sales and Operating profit attributable to TransWeb for the quarter ended February 26, 2011 were $2,375 and $334, respectively

The base purchase price to acquire TransWeb was $30,017, excluding cash acquired. Of the base purchase price, the Company withheld payment of $17,000 pending resolution of the 3M litigation, which funds may be used by the Company in connection with the same (see Note 11). A contingent liability for a potential earn-out payment to one of the former owners of $1,018, recorded at fair value by applying the income approach, was also recognized and is included in Other long-term liabilities in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. The Company assumed existing long term debt of $1,544, which was immediately repaid in connection with the closing. The Company paid the balance of the purchase price with available cash. The Company is in the process of finalizing the valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed; therefore, the fair values set forth below are subject to adjustment once the valuations are completed.

(Unaudited)

The following condensed balance sheet is based on the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date.

Cash	$	14
Accounts receivable, less allowance for losses of $57		1,153
Inventory		1,045
Other current assets		93
Plant assets		7,291
Goodwill		7,976
Other acquired intangibles		13,000
Other assets		100
Total assets acquired		30,672
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities		(641	)
Net assets acquired	$	30,031

The fair value of the assets acquired includes accounts receivable, which are trade receivables. The Company does not anticipate any amounts to be uncollectible. The goodwill of $7,976, which is deductible for income tax purposes, represents the excess of cost over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired. Factors that contributed to a purchase price resulting in the recognition of goodwill included TransWeb’s strategic fit with the Company’s products and services as well as the ability to enhance the Company’s product offerings.

The fair value of the identifiable intangible assets and their respective lives are shown in the following table.

Identifiable Intangible Asset	Value		Estimated Useful Life
Customer relationships	$	8,500	12 years
Developed technology		3,500	12 years
Trade names and trade marks		900	Indefinite
Non-compete agreements		100	2 years
Total fair value	$	13,000

The acquisition-date estimated fair value of the contingent consideration payment of $1,018 was recorded as a component of the consideration transferred in exchange for the equity interests of TransWeb in accordance with accounting guidance. The contingent liability for the earn-out payment will continue to be accounted for and measured at fair value until the contingency is settled during fiscal year 2016. The fair value measurement of the contingent liability is based on significant inputs not observed in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement as defined by accounting literature (see Note 6). The fair value of the contingent consideration was estimated using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow model with a discount rate of 11.9%. The contingent consideration payment is revalued to its current fair value at each reporting date. Any increase or decrease in the fair value, as a result of changes in significant inputs such as the discount rate, the discount period or other factors used in the calculation, is recognized in Selling and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings in the period the estimated fair value changes.

(Unaudited)

Assuming this transaction had been made at the beginning of each of the periods presented, the consolidated pro-forma results would not be materially different from the results as reported. The Company incurred costs of $121 related to the acquisition of TransWeb which are included in Selling and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings.

Investments

Effective May 1, 2008, the Company acquired a 30% share in BioProcessH2O LLC (“BPH”), a Rhode Island-based manufacturer of industrial waste water and water reuse filtration systems, for $4,000. Under the terms of the agreement with BPH, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to acquire additional ownership shares and eventually complete ownership of the company over several years at a price based on, among other factors, BPH’s operating income. The investment, with a carrying amount of $3,233 and $3,266, at February 26, 2011 and November 27, 2010, respectively, included in Other noncurrent assets in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets, is being accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The carrying amount is adjusted each period to recognize the Company’s share of the earnings or losses of BPH, included in Other, net in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings, based on the percentage of ownership, as well as the receipt of any dividends. During the three months ended February 26, 2011, the Company did not receive any dividends from BPH. During the three months ended February 27, 2010, the Company received dividends of $382 from BPH. The equity investment is periodically reviewed for indicators of impairment.

The Company also owns a 15% share in BioProcess Algae LLC (“Algae”), a Delaware-based company developing technology to grow and harvest algae which can be used to consume carbon dioxide and also be used as a renewable energy source. The investment, with a carrying amount of $398 and $398, at February 26, 2011 and November 27, 2010, respectively, included in Other noncurrent assets, is being accounted for under the cost method of accounting. Under the cost method, the Company recognizes dividends as income when received and reviews the cost basis of the investment for impairment if factors indicate that a decrease in value of the investment has occurred. The Company has not received any dividends from Algae.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests

In March 2007, the Company acquired an 80% ownership share in Sinfa SA (“SINFA”), a manufacturer of automotive and heavy-duty engine filters based in Casablanca, Morocco. As part of the purchase agreement, the Company and the noncontrolling owners each have an option to require the purchase of the remaining 20% ownership shares by the Company after December 31, 2012 which would result in SINFA becoming a wholly owned subsidiary. The remaining 20% of SINFA owned by the noncontrolling owners has been reported as Redeemable noncontrolling interests and classified as mezzanine equity in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. The Redeemable noncontrolling interests will be accreted to the redemption price, through equity, at the point at which the redemption becomes probable. The Company has not recorded any accretion to date.

3.	INCENTIVE PLANS AND STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

On March 23, 2009, the shareholders of CLARCOR approved the 2009 Incentive Plan, which replaced the 2004 Incentive Plan. The 2009 Incentive Plan allows the Company to grant stock options, restricted stock unit awards, restricted stock, performance awards and other awards to officers, directors and key employees of up to 3,800,000 shares during a ten-year period that ends in December 2019. Upon share option exercise or restricted stock unit award conversion, the Company issues new shares unless treasury shares are available. The key provisions of the Company’s stock-based incentive plans are described in Note N of the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements included in the 2010 Form 10-K.

Stock Options

Nonqualified stock options are granted at exercise prices equal to the market price of CLARCOR common stock at the date of grant, which is the date the Company’s Board of Directors approves the grant and the participants receive it. The Company’s Board of Directors determines the vesting requirements for stock options at the time of grant and may accelerate vesting. In general, options granted to key employees vest 25% per year beginning at the end of the first year; therefore, they become fully exercisable at the end of four years. Vesting may be accelerated in the event of retirement, disability or death of a participant or change in control of the Company. Options granted to non-employee directors vest immediately. All options expire ten years from the date of grant unless otherwise terminated.

The following table summarizes compensation expense related to stock options during the quarter ended February 26, 2011 and February 27, 2010.

The expected life selected for options granted during each year presented represents the period of time that the options are expected to be outstanding based on historical data of option holder exercise and termination behavior. Expected volatilities are based upon historical volatility of the Company’s monthly stock closing prices over a period equal to the expected life of each option grant. The risk-free interest rate is selected based on yields from U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with a remaining term approximately equal to the expected term of the options being valued. Expected dividend yield is based on the estimated dividend yield determined on the date of issuance.

Restricted Stock Unit Awards

The Company’s restricted stock unit awards are considered nonvested share awards. The restricted stock unit awards require no payment from the employee. Compensation cost is recorded based on the market price of the stock on the grant date and is recorded equally over the vesting period of four years. During the vesting period, officers and key employees receive compensation equal to the amount of dividends declared on common shares they would have been entitled to receive had the shares been issued. Upon vesting, employees may elect to defer receipt of their shares. There were 103,390 and 108,800 vested and deferred shares at February 26, 2011 and November 27, 2010, respectively.

The following table summarizes compensation expense related to restricted stock unit awards during the quarter ended February 26, 2011 and February 27, 2010.

6.	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair Value Measurements

The Company measures certain assets and liabilities at fair value as discussed throughout the notes to its quarterly and annual financial statements. Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability, an exit price, in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Fair value measurements are categorized in a hierarchy based upon the observability of inputs used in valuation techniques. Observable inputs are the highest level and reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs are the lowest level and reflect internally developed market assumptions. The Company classifies fair value measurements by the following hierarchy:

Level 1 – Quoted active market prices for identical assets

Level 2 – Significant other observable inputs, such as quoted prices for similar (but not identical) instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets which are not active and model determined valuations in which all significant inputs or significant value-drivers are observable in active markets

Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs, such as model determined valuations in which one or more significant inputs or significant value-drivers are unobservable

Assets or liabilities that have recurring measurements are shown below:

	Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date
	Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
February 26, 2011
Restricted trust, included in Other noncurrent assets
Mutual fund investments - equities	$	893	$	893	$	-	$	-

Cash and equivalents		22		22		-		-
Total restricted trust	$	1,258	$	1,258	$	-	$	-

The restricted trust, which is used to fund certain payments for the Company’s U.S. combined nonqualified pension plans, consists of actively traded equity and bond funds. The TransWeb contingent earn-out payment was established in connection with the acquisition of TransWeb (see Note 2). There were no changes in the fair value determination methods or significant assumptions used in those methods during the quarter ended February 26, 2011. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the quarter ended February 26, 2011.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments

The fair values of the Company’s financial instruments, which are cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable and the restricted trust, approximated the carrying values of those financial instruments at both February 26, 2011 and November 27, 2010. An expected present value technique is used to estimate the fair value of long-term debt. A fair value estimate of $16,853 and $16,892 for long-term debt at February 26, 2011 and November 27, 2010, respectively, is based on the current interest rates available to the Company for debt with similar remaining maturities. The carrying value for the long-term debt at February 26, 2011 and November 27, 2010 is $17,487 and $17,477, respectively.

7.	ACCOUNTS PAYABLE, ACCRUED LIABILITIES AND GUARANTEES

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities at February 26, 2011 and November 27, 2010 were as follows:

	February 26,		November 27,
	2011		2010
Accounts payable	$	68,798	$	64,630
Accrued salaries, wages and commissions		9,894		31,497
Compensated absences		7,789		8,172
Accrued insurance liabilities		11,200		11,473
Customer deposits		8,315		7,732
Other accrued liabilities		32,549		36,702
	$	138,545	$	160,206

Warranties are recorded as a liability on the balance sheet and as charges to current expense for estimated normal warranty costs and, if applicable, for specific performance issues known to exist on products already sold. The expenses estimated to be incurred are provided at the time of sale and adjusted as needed, based primarily upon experience.

Changes in the Company’s warranty accrual, which is included in Other accrued liabilities are as follows:

	Three Months Ended
	February 26,			February 27,
	2011			2010
Balance at beginning of period	$	3,499		$	3,989
Accruals for warranties issued during the period		264			148
Adjustments related to pre-existing warranties		(553	)		23
Settlements made during the period		(170	)		(178	)
Other adjustments, including currency translation		39			(131	)
Balance at end of period	$	3,079		$	3,851

The Company has letters of credit totaling $24,610 and $23,189 as of February 26, 2011 and November 27, 2010, respectively, issued to various government agencies, primarily related to industrial revenue bonds, and to insurance companies and other commercial entities in support of its obligations. The Company believes that no payments will be required resulting from these obligations.

In the ordinary course of business, the Company also provides routine indemnifications and other guarantees whose terms range in duration and are often not explicitly defined. The Company does not believe these will have a material impact on the results of operations or financial condition of the Company.

8.	LONG-TERM DEBT AND INTEREST RATE AGREEMENT

On December 18, 2007, the Company entered into a five-year multicurrency revolving credit agreement (“Credit Facility”) with a group of financial institutions under which it may borrow up to $250,000 under a selection of currencies and rate formulas. The Credit Facility interest rate is based upon, at the Company’s election, 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 also payable as provided in the credit agreement. At February 26, 2011, there were no borrowings outstanding on the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility includes a $75,000 letter of credit subline, against which $16,012 and $16,031 in letters of credit had been issued at February 26, 2011 and November 27, 2010, respectively.

The Company’s significant accounting policies for derivative instruments are described in Note A of the 2010 Form 10-K. On January 2, 2008, the Company entered into a fixed rate interest swap agreement to manage its interest rate exposure on certain amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility. The interest rate agreement expired January 1, 2010. The interest rate agreement provided for the Company to receive interest at floating rates based on LIBOR and pay a 3.93% fixed interest rate plus an applicable margin on a notional amount of $100,000. Payments pursuant to the interest rate agreement were settled on a net basis quarterly. Hedge accounting was not applied to the fixed rate interest swap agreement and therefore, unrealized gains or losses were recorded in interest expense in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings. Periodic settlement payments or receipts were recorded as a component of cash flows from operating activities in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Cash Flows.

The following table reflects the net settlement payments on the fixed rate interest swap agreement for the quarter ended February 27, 2010.

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments	Location	Three Months Ended
		February 27, 2010
Fixed rate interest swap agreement unrealized losses	Interest expense	$	-

Net actuarial gain		(32	)		(32	)
Net periodic benefit income	$	(57	)	$	(55	)

Cash contributions	$	30		$	39

During the three months ended February 26, 2011, the Company recorded settlement costs in connection with the retirement of one of its former executive officers.

The Company’s policy is to contribute to its qualified U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans at least the minimum amount required by applicable laws and regulations, to contribute to the U.S. combined nonqualified plans when required for benefit payments, and to contribute to the postretirement healthcare benefit plan an amount equal to the benefit payments. The Company, from time to time, makes voluntary contributions in excess of the minimum amount required as economic conditions warrant. The Company expects to contribute up to $15,400 to its U.S. qualified plans, $2,194 to its U.S. combined nonqualified plans, $403 to its non-U.S. plan and $121 to its postretirement healthcare benefit plan to pay benefits during 2011.

In addition to the plan assets related to its qualified plans, the Company has also funded $1,302 and $1,258 at February 26, 2011 and November 27, 2010, respectively, into a restricted trust for its U.S. combined nonqualified plans, see Note 6. This trust is included in other noncurrent assets in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets.

10.	INCOME TAXES

The following is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions, including positions which impact only the timing of tax benefits.

	Three Months Ended
	February 26,		February 27,
	2011		2010

Balance at beginning of period	$	1,806	$	2,161
Additions (reductions) for current period tax positions		96		(146	)
Additions for prior period tax positions		-		39
Changes in interest and penalties		22		(6	)
Balance at end of period	$	1,924	$	2,048

At February 26, 2011, the amount of unrecognized tax benefit, that would impact the effective tax rate if recognized, was $1,787. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized benefits in income tax expense. As of February 26, 2011, the Company had $491 accrued for the payment of interest and penalties.

Due to the various jurisdictions in which the Company files tax returns and the uncertainty regarding the timing of settlements it is possible that there could be other significant changes in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits in the next twelve months; however, the amount cannot be estimated.

The Company is regularly audited by federal, state and foreign tax authorities. The Internal Revenue Service has completed its audits of the Company’s U.S. income tax returns through fiscal year 2009. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to income tax examinations by state or foreign tax jurisdictions for years prior to 2004.

11.	CONTINGENCIES

Legal Contingencies

From time to time, the Company is subject to lawsuits, investigations and disputes (some of which involve substantial claimed amounts) arising out of the conduct of its business, including matters relating to commercial transactions, product liability, intellectual property and other matters. Items included in these other matters are discussed below. The Company believes recorded reserves in its Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements are adequate in light of the probable and estimable outcomes of the items discussed below. Any recorded liabilities were not material to the Company’s financial position, results of operation or liquidity and the Company does not currently believe that any pending claims or litigation, including those identified below, will materially affect its financial position, results of operation or liquidity.

Donaldson

On May 15, 2009, Donaldson Company, Inc. (“Donaldson”) filed a lawsuit in the U.S. Federal District Court for the District of Minnesota, alleging that certain “ChannelFlow®” engine/mobile filters manufactured and sold by a subsidiary of the Company infringe one or more patents held by Donaldson. Through this lawsuit Donaldson seeks various remedies, including injunctive relief and monetary damages of an unspecified amount. Management believes that the products in question do not infringe the asserted patents and that such patents are invalid. The Company is vigorously defending the action.

Antitrust/Qui Tam

On March 31, 2008, S&E Quick Lube, a filter distributor, filed suit in U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut alleging that virtually every major North American engine filter manufacturer, including the Company's subsidiary, Baldwin Filters, Inc. (the “Defendant Group”), engaged in a conspiracy to fix prices, rig bids and allocate U.S. customers for aftermarket filters. This suit is a purported class action on behalf of direct purchasers of filters from the Defendant Group. Parallel purported class actions, including on behalf of indirect purchasers of filters, have been filed by other plaintiffs against the Defendant Group in a variety of jurisdictions in the United States and Canada.

In addition, the Attorney General of the State of Florida and the County of Suffolk, New York have filed complaints against the Defendant Group based on these same allegations, and the Attorney General of the State of Washington requested various documents, information and cooperation, which the Company has agreed to provide.

In late 2010, William Burch, a former employee of two other defendants in the Defendant Group, brought an action under the United States False Claims Act and similar state statutes on behalf of the governments of the United States and approximately twenty individual states against the Defendant Group, based on these same allegations (the "Qui Tam Action"). On March 1, 2011, Mr. Burch voluntarily dismissed Baldwin Filters, Inc. from this action, without prejudice, based on certain representations by Baldwin. As such, Baldwin Filters, Inc. is no longer a defendant in the Qui Tam Action.

Finally, the Company understands that the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice (“DOJ”) was investigating the allegations raised in these suits and issued subpoenas in connection with that investigation. The Company was not contacted by the DOJ in connection with the DOJ investigation and was not the subject of any subpoena. Public reports indicate that the DOJ officially closed its investigation in January 2010 and took no action against any filter manufacturer.

All of the U.S cases, including the actions brought by and/or on behalf of governmental entities, have been consolidated into a single multi-district litigation in the Northern District of Illinois. The Company believes all of these lawsuits and the claims made therein to be without merit and is vigorously defending them.

TransWeb/3M

On May 21, 2010, 3M Company and 3M Innovative Properties (“3M”) brought a lawsuit against TransWeb in the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota, alleging that certain TransWeb products infringe certain 3M patents. Shortly after receiving service of process in this litigation, TransWeb filed its own complaint against 3M in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, seeking a declaratory judgment that the asserted patents are invalid and that the products in question do not infringe. 3M withdrew its Minnesota action, and the parties are currently litigating the matter in New Jersey. The litigation in question was filed and underway before the Company acquired TransWeb in December 2010, but the Company assumed the risk of this litigation as a result of the acquisition. The Company intends to vigorously defend the action and pursue related claims. The Company acquired TransWeb in December 2010 (see Note 2). Of the base purchase price, the Company withheld payment of $17,000 pending resolution of the 3M litigation, which funds may be used by the Company in connection with the same. During the quarter ended February 26, 2011, the Company applied charges of $759 against the withheld payment, leaving a remaining balance of $16, 241. At February 26, 2011, $2,500 is included in Other accrued liabilities and $13,741 is included in Other long-term liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets.

Other

Additionally, the Company is party to various proceedings relating to environmental issues. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and/or other responsible state agencies have designated the Company as a potentially responsible party, along with other companies, in remedial activities for the cleanup of waste sites under the federal Superfund statute. Although it is not certain what future environmental claims, if any, may be asserted, the Company currently believes that its potential liability for known environmental matters does not exceed its present accrual of $50. However, environmental and related remediation costs are difficult to quantify for a number of reasons, including the number of parties involved, the difficulty in determining the nature and extent of the contamination at issue, the length of time remediation may require, the complexity of the environmental regulation and the continuing advancement of remediation technology. Applicable federal law may impose joint and several liability on each potentially responsible party for the cleanup.

In addition to the matters cited above, the Company is involved in legal actions arising in the normal course of business. The Company records provisions with respect to identified claims or lawsuits when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Claims and lawsuits are reviewed quarterly and provisions are taken or adjusted to reflect the status of a particular matter. No such provisions have been taken in respect of the Donaldson, antitrust or TransWeb legal proceedings referred to above.

Other Contingencies

In the event of a change in control of the Company, termination benefits are likely to be required for certain executive officers and other employees.

First Quarter

Our strong financial performance in the first quarter of 2011 compared with the first quarter of 2010 was primarily the result of the 14% or $30.6 million increase in net sales. Net sales were higher in each of our operating segments. The $14.9 million increase in our Engine/Mobile Filtration segment was driven by continued strength in heavy-duty engine filter sales in most of our end-markets both domestically and internationally. The $10.1 million increase in our Industrial/Environmental Filtration segment was the result of stronger sales domestically in most of our end markets as a result of the improved economy. The $5.6 million increase in net sales in our Packaging segment was due to continued strength in the smokeless tobacco, confection, spice and decorated flat sheet metal markets.

Our 32.9% gross margin percentage in the first quarter of 2011 was 0.4 points higher than the first quarter of 2010 and was our highest first quarter gross margin percentage in almost twenty years. With our 14% increase in net sales, we were able to leverage our fixed manufacturing costs to generate improved gross margin percentages at all of our operating segments. Our Packaging segment, where sales increased 34% from last year’s first quarter, showed the most significant improvement of 6.1 points.

Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales declined 1.6 points as we were able to leverage the 14% increase in net sales while increasing selling and administrative expenses only 6%. The $2.8 million increase in selling and administrative expenses included a $1.3 million increase in pension costs due to the retirement of one of our former executive officers, a $0.6 million increase related to TransWeb which was not in the prior period and $1.0 million increase in legal costs related to on-going litigation. On the strength of the improvement in both gross margin and selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales, our operating margin increased 2.1 points from the first quarter of 2010.

Other Items

Other significant items impacting the comparison between the quarters presented are as follows:

·	Acquisitions

The acquisition of TransWeb in the first quarter of 2011 positively impacted sales by $2.4 million and operating profit by $0.3 million. Operating profit at TransWeb was negatively influenced by a $0.2 million write-up of inventory pursuant to purchase accounting. There were no acquisitions in 2010.

·	Foreign Exchange

The average exchange rate for foreign currencies versus the U.S. dollar positively impacted our translated U.S. dollar value of net sales by $0.3 million and operating profit by $0.2 million in the first quarter of 2011 versus the first quarter of 2010. The U.S. dollar value of the Euro declined while the U.S. dollar value of certain other currencies increased including the Chinese Yuan Renminbi, the Australian Dollar and the South African Rand.

·	Other income (expense)

Interest expense

Interest expense decreased $0.1 million in the first quarter of 2011 compared with the first quarter of 2010. This decrease is the result of our repayment of the outstanding balance on our line of credit during fiscal year 2010. We had an average of $21.7 million outstanding on our line of credit in the first quarter of 2010 while we had no amounts outstanding in the first quarter of 2011. The interest rate on our line of credit was 0.6% in the first quarter of 2010 which would have been consistent with the interest rate in the first quarter of 2011 if we had amounts outstanding.

Page 25

Foreign currency gains and losses

Foreign currency losses included in other income (expense) declined $0.2 million in the first quarter of 2011 versus the first quarter of 2010. Much of the foreign currency gain or loss was caused by the translation of cash accounts at foreign subsidiaries denominated in a currency other than their functional currency.

·	Provisions for income taxes

The 29.5% effective tax rate in the first quarter of 2011 included a $0.7 million benefit related to the extension of the research and experimentation tax credit in December 2010. Effectively, we recognized a majority of our full year 2010 research and experimentation tax credit in the first quarter of 2011. Excluding this benefit, our effective tax rate would have been approximately 32.0% in the first quarter of 2011. The reduction in the effective tax rate from 33.9% in the first quarter of 2010 to the 32.0% adjusted effective tax rate in the first quarter of 2011 was the result of an increase in the domestic production activities deduction (“DPAD”) in the first quarter of 2001 as well as our recognition of the first quarter 2011 research and experimentation tax credit.

·	Shares outstanding

Average diluted shares outstanding increased 0.4 million in the first quarter of 2011 compared with the same period in 2010. This increase primarily resulted from an increase in the dilutive effects of outstanding stock options due to a higher average stock price.

Commodity Prices

Although we have experienced higher material costs—notably in steel and media—these cost increases did not have a significant impact on our margins in the first quarter. Many of our business units proactively purchased ahead in 2010 thus mitigating the impact of the recent commodity price increases in the first quarter. In addition, our business units which manufacture filtration vessels or systems are typically able to time customer price quotations with steel purchases and are able to base quotations on actual material costs.

Going forward in 2011, we anticipate that higher commodity prices will increase our material costs. However, we expect that we will be able to pass most of these higher material costs onto our customers. Since a large majority of our business is in the after-market where we control our pricing sheets, we believe our ability to pass material cost increases onto our customers is greater than companies which deal primarily with OEMs. In addition, due to the nature of our after-market filtration products, we believe our customer demand is rather inelastic—meaning reasonable price increases do not significantly impact customer demand. We enacted a customer price increase at one of our larger business units at the end of the first quarter and anticipate a customer price increase at another larger business unit in the second quarter. Based upon our anticipated ability to recover material cost through pricing without significantly impacting demand, we do not expect that higher material costs will have a significantly negative impact on our operating margins in 2011.

Heavy-duty engine filters	$	6.4

Increase in U.S. net sales	$	7.6

Our sales of heavy-duty engine filters in the U.S. continue to be positively influenced by continued strength in the U.S. trucking industry. Heavy-duty truck tonnage in the U.S. was approximately 6% higher in our first two fiscal months of 2011 compared with the same period in 2010 and was at its highest level since February 2008. Our U.S. sales of locomotive filters increased approximately 14% in the first quarter of 2011 compared to the first quarter of 2010 due to the continuing recovery in U.S. rail activity. According to the Association of American Railroads, approximately 132,000 freight cars were removed from storage during calendar year 2010. As of the beginning of February 2011, 20.8% of the U.S. freight car fleet was in storage, down from a peak of 31.9% in July 2009.

The increase in net sales (adjusted for changes in foreign currency) outside the U.S. was primarily due to a $4.5 million, or 69%, increase in net sales in China which was positively impacted by market growth and penetration. The remainder $2.0 million foreign net sales increase was spread through many end markets.

The increase in operating profit in the Engine/Mobile Filtration segment was driven by the higher heavy-duty engine filter sales. Our operating margin increased as we were able to leverage our fixed manufacturing and administrative costs. Our material cost as a percentage of net sales remained relatively flat in the first quarter of 2011 compared with the same period last year. Although selling and administrative expenses decreased as a percentage of net sales, total selling and administrative expenses increased as we incurred increased legal expenses, as well as various other administrative costs to support our continued growth both domestically and abroad. We estimate that the change in average foreign exchange rates from the first quarter of 2010 to the first quarter of 2011 positively influenced the translated U.S. dollar value of operating profit by $0.3 million.

Natural gas - vessels and aftermarket filters		(1.0	)
Other		(0.7	)

Increase in U.S. net sales	$	7.7

The increase in U.S. net sales of air filtration products was due to a combination of an improvement in the U.S. economy, an introduction of new product offerings and an increase in market share. In addition, U.S. net sales in the first quarter of 2010 were negatively affected by adverse weather conditions which impacted sales to some of our industrial customers.

U.S. net sales pursuant to the TransWeb acquisition include only two months of sales since the acquisition was completed at the end of December 2010. TransWeb also had $0.3 million of foreign net sales.

The increase in U.S. net sales of aviation vessels and after-market filters was across commercial, military and industrial markets as we have seen higher sales activity driven by the general improvement in the U.S. economy.

The increase in U.S. net sales to the aerospace, oil drilling and other industrial markets was the result of higher sales to virtually all markets including sales of wire mesh filters to the fibers and plastics industries.

The increase in U.S. net sales at TFS was the result of increased filter sales to automotive and other markets including aerospace, chemical and general industrial. Filter sales to the automotive industry increased $0.3 million as the U.S. automotive industry continues its recovery. These filters were primarily air filters used in automotive manufacturing and other facilities.

Page 29

Net sales in the U.S. natural gas market declined primarily as a result of a reduction in vessel sales offset in part by an increase in replacement filter sales as we continue to focus on the growth of our after-market filter business. The reduction in vessel sales was driven by both a reduction in volume and price as fewer natural gas pipelines are being built due to the lower price of natural gas.

The increase in foreign net sales for the first quarter of 2011 was driven by a $1.6 million increase in natural gas vessels sales and increased after-market filter sales in Canada. We have increased our resources in the Canadian natural gas market over the past year. An additional $1.3 million increase resulted from higher sales of filtration products for off-shore oil drilling outside the U.S. primarily off the coast of Singapore. We experienced additional higher foreign net sales in various other non-European markets offset by a reduction in vessel and filter sales in Spain, which has been negatively impacted by continuing economic and financial issues.

The increase in operating profit at our Industrial/Environmental Filtration segment was driven by the 10% increase in net sales. The 2.3 point improvement in operating margin was driven by a 2.2 point reduction in selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales as we leveraged higher net sales. The 0.1 point increase in gross margin percentage was negatively impacted by a $0.2 million write-up of inventory pursuant to purchase accounting for the TransWeb acquisition in addition to increased sales mix of our air filtration products which generate lower gross margins than some of our other industrial products. We estimate that the change in average foreign exchange rates from the first quarter of 2010 to the first quarter of 2011 negatively influenced the translated U.S. dollar value of operating profit by $0.1 million.

Our Packaging segment manufactures and markets consumer and industrial packaging products.

The increase in net sales at our Packaging segment was the result of strength in several of our end-markets including smokeless tobacco, confection, spice and decorated flat sheet metal. Included in these first quarter sales was $0.5 million received from a customer for the sale of one of our product patents. Sales of packaging to the smokeless tobacco industry accounted for $2.6 million of the net sales increase. Operating profit increased primarily due to our ability to leverage fixed manufacturing and administrative costs with this increase in net sales.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our financial position remains strong with adequate cash resources and sufficient borrowing capacity under our line of credit. In the first quarter of 2008, we entered into a five-year multicurrency revolving credit agreement (“Credit Facility”) with a group of financial institutions under which we may borrow up to $250.0 million under a selection of currencies and rate formulas. We believe the financial institutions that are party to this arrangement have adequate capital resources and will be able to fund future borrowings under the Credit Facility. At our election, the interest rate is based upon either a defined base rate or the LIBOR interest rate plus or minus applicable margins. At the end of the first quarter of 2011, the LIBOR interest rate plus margin was 0.6%. At the end of the first quarter of 2011, there were no amounts outstanding on the Credit Facility. However, we had $16.0 million outstanding on a $75.0 million letter of credit subline. Accordingly, we had $234.0 million available for further borrowing at the end of the first quarter of 2011.

Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash decreased $9.7 million to $108.1 million at the end of the first quarter of 2011 from $117.7 million at fiscal year-end 2010. Of the $108.1 million of cash at the end of the first quarter of 2011, approximately $72.5 million was held at entities outside the U.S. Although we plan to use this cash at our non-U.S. entities, if we repatriated this cash to the U.S., we could incur significant tax expense. Cash and cash equivalents are held by financial institutions throughout the world. We regularly review the credit worthiness of these institutions and believe our funds at these institutions are not at significant risk. The current ratio of 3.7 at the end of the first quarter of 2011 was greater than the current ratio of 3.2 at fiscal year-end 2010. The increase in the current ratio was the result of a $24.2 million decrease in current liabilities primarily due to a reduction in the amount accrued for company-wide incentive compensation which was paid subsequent to year-end 2010.

Total long-term debt of $17.4 million at the end of the first quarter of 2011 included $15.8 million outstanding on industrial revenue bonds and $1.6 million of other long-term debt. At the end of the first quarter of 2011 and at fiscal year-end 2010, we were in compliance with all financial covenants as included in the Credit Facility. We expect to be in compliance with these covenants in the foreseeable future. The ratio of total debt to total capitalization (defined as long-term debt plus total shareholders’ equity) was 2.2% at the end of the first quarter of 2011 compared to 2.3% at fiscal year-end 2010.

We had 50.4 million shares of common stock outstanding at the end of the first quarter of 2011, an increase of 0.1 million from fiscal year-end 2010. Shares issued pursuant to stock incentive plans were partially offset by shares repurchased in the first quarter of 2011. Shareholders’ equity increased to $784.2 million at the end of the first quarter of 2011 compared to $757.5 million at fiscal year-end 2010. This $26.7 million increase resulted mainly from additional net earnings of $21.9 million, items related to stock compensation and option activity pursuant to incentive plans of $5.6 million, pension amounts affecting accumulated other comprehensive loss of $1.6 million and currency translation adjustments of $4.8 million partially offset by stock repurchases of $1.9 million and dividend payments of $5.3 million.

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $26.4 million to $8.8 million in the first quarter of 2011 from $35.2 million in the first quarter of 2010. This decrease was driven primarily by an increase in cash used for changes in working capital of $21.5 million and an $11.6 million decrease in cash flow from changes in short-term investments offset by additional net earnings of $7.1 million. The $11.6 million cash inflow from the reduction in short-term investments in the first quarter of 2010 was the result of our need to convert a portion of our short-term investments into cash. The additional cash outflow for working capital was driven by payments of approximately $27.7 million in the first quarter of 2011 for our 2010 company-wide incentive compensation plan.

Page 31

Net cash used in investing activities increased $8.6 million to $13.9 million in the first quarter of 2011 compared with $5.3 million in the first quarter of 2010. This increase was primarily due to $10.5 million in cash paid pursuant to the TransWeb acquisition in the first quarter of 2011 offset by a $2.5 million reduction in amounts paid for additions to plant assets.

Net cash used in the financing activities decreased $18.7 million in the first quarter of 2011 compared with the first quarter of 2010 primarily as the result the $20.0 million pay down of the Credit Facility in the first quarter of 2010 offset by a $1.9 million outflow in the first quarter of 2011 for the purchase of treasury stock.

We believe that our current operations will continue to generate cash and that sufficient borrowings under the Credit Facility remain available to fund current operating needs, pay dividends, invest in the development of new products and filter media, fund planned capital expenditures and expansion of current facilities, provide for interest payments and required principal payments related to debt agreements, fund pension plan contributions and repurchase common stock. We also continue to assess acquisition opportunities in related filtration businesses that would expand our market base, distribution coverage or product offerings. Any such acquisitions potentially would affect operating cash flows and require changes in our debt and capitalization. In addition, capital market disruptions may affect the cost or availability of future borrowings. We have no material long-term purchase commitments. We will also continue to assess repurchases of our common stock. We repurchased forty-five thousand shares of our common stock for $1.9 million in the first quarter of 2011 at an approximate average price of $43.26. At the end of the first quarter of 2011, there was $231.8 million available for future repurchases under the current authorization of $250.0 million approved by the Board of Directors in June 2010. Future repurchases may be made after considering cash flow requirements for internal growth, capital expenditures, acquisitions, interest rates and the market price of our common stock.

At the end of the first quarter of 2011, our liability for uncertain income tax provisions was $1.9 million, including interest and penalties. Due to the high degree of uncertainty regarding the timing of potential future cash outflows associated with these liabilities, we are unable to make a reasonably reliable estimate of the amount and period in which these remaining liabilities might be paid.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Our off-balance sheet arrangements relate to various operating leases as discussed in Note H to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2010 Form 10-K. We had no variable interest entity or special purpose entity agreements during the first quarter of 2011 or fiscal 2010.

OTHER MATTERS

Critical Accounting Policies

Our critical accounting policies, including the assumptions and judgments underlying them, are disclosed in our 2010 Form 10-K in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. There have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies set forth in our 2010 Form 10-K. These policies have been consistently applied in all material respects. While the estimates and judgments associated with the application of these policies may be affected by different assumptions or conditions, we believe the estimates and judgments associated with the reported amounts are appropriate in the circumstances.

Page 32

Environmental Matters and Climate Change and Energy Legislation and Regulation

Our operations are subject to U.S. and non-U.S. environmental laws and regulations governing emissions to air; discharges to water; the generation, handling, storage, transportation, treatment and disposal of waste materials; and the cleanup of contaminated properties. Currently, we believe that any potential environmental liabilities with respect to our former or existing operations are not material, but there is no assurance that we will not be adversely impacted by such liabilities, costs or claims in the future, either under present laws and regulations or those that may be adopted or imposed in the future.

Foreign, federal, state and local regulatory and legislative bodies have proposed various legislative and regulatory measures relating to climate change, regulating greenhouse gas emissions and energy policies. Due to the uncertainty in the regulatory and legislative processes, as well as the scope of such requirements and initiatives, we cannot currently determine the effect such legislation and regulation may have on our operations.

The potential physical impacts of climate change on our operations are also highly uncertain and would vary depending on type of physical impact and geographic location. Climate change physical impacts could include changing temperatures, water shortages, changes in weather and rainfall patterns, and changing storm patterns and intensities. The occurrence of one or more natural disasters, whether due to climate change or naturally occurring, such as tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes and other forms of severe weather in the U.S. or in a country in which we operate or in which our suppliers or customers are located could adversely impact our operations and financial performance. Such events could result in:

physical damage to and complete or partial closure of one or more of our manufacturing facilities

temporary or long-term disruption in the supply of raw materials from our suppliers

disruption in the transport of our products to customers and end users

delay in the delivery of our products to our customers

Recent Relevant Accounting Pronouncements

A discussion of recent relevant accounting pronouncements is included in Note 1 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

Outlook

Based upon our strong operating results in the first quarter, we believe we are well positioned to continue our growth and financial performance for the remainder of 2011. Accordingly, we are raising our 2011 diluted earnings per share guidance to be in the range of $2.20 to $2.35, an increase of $0.10 from our previous guidance of $2.10 to $2.25.

Updated anticipated sales growth and operating margin by segment and on a consolidated basis are as follows:

	2011 Estimated	2011 Estimated
	Sales Growth	Operating Margin

Engine/Mobile Filtration	12.0% to 14.0%	20.5% to 22.5%

Industrial/Environmental Filtration	13.0% to 15.0%	10.0% to 11.0%

Packaging	-9.0% to -7.0%	8.0% to 9.0%

CLARCOR	10.5% to 12.5%	14.5% to 16.0%

We expect 2011 cash from operations will be between $115 and $125 million, capital expenditures will be between $30 and $40 million and our effective tax rate will range between 31.5% and 32.5%. Our 2011 updated guidance includes the impact of the TransWeb acquisition.
