Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Trustees of Fastenal Company &
Subsidiaries 401(k) and Employee Stock Ownership Plan:
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the Fastenal Company & Subsidiaries 401(k) and Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2012. 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, 2012 and 2011, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2012, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental Schedule H, Line 4i – Schedule of Assets (Held at End of Year) as of December 31, 2012 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. This 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1) | Description of the Plan |
The following description of the Fastenal Company & Subsidiaries 401(k) and Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the Plan) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.
The Plan is a defined-contribution plan covering all full-time and part-time U.S. employees of Fastenal Company & Subsidiaries (the Company). Employees are eligible to participate in the Plan beginning on the first of the month after completing 60 days of service and attaining the age of 18. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).
Effective January 1, 2011, the Plan was amended and restated and Fastenal Company common stock available through the Plan was classified as an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). At such time, the Plan name was changed to the Fastenal Company & Subsidiaries 401(k) and Employee Stock Ownership Plan. The change was made to better reflect that the Plan is intended, in part, as a voluntary stock ownership vehicle for those participants who wish to use the Plan for that purpose. Being an ESOP allows the Plan to offer participants a voluntary dividend pass-through option to have dividends paid in cash. Any dividends paid by Fastenal Company on stock held by the Plan will be deductible to Fastenal Company for federal income tax purposes. On January 31, 2011, the Plan filed an application with the Internal Revenue Service for advance determination on the qualification of the Plan.
Participants’ contributions are recorded in the period that the participants’ payroll deductions are made. Participants may contribute an amount not less than 1% or more than 100% of their eligible compensation. Employee contributions are 100% vested at all times. Effective January 2005, a discretionary employer matching contribution was implemented as a new feature to the Plan. These employer matching contributions are also initially 100% vested. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company made a discretionary contribution of $10,433,844 to the Plan. This amount was accrued and paid to the Plan subsequent to December 31, 2012.
The Company does not limit participant contributions; however, the Tax Reform Act of 1986 allows a maximum participant annual pretax contribution of $17,000 and $16,500 for calendar years 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Highly compensated employees may be limited to lower contribution percentages in order for the Plan to satisfy the discrimination tests of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). Changes in contributions are allowed based on the provisions of the Plan.
The Plan allows for rollover contributions to be made to the Plan by eligible participants. These rollover contributions are eligible distributions from other tax-qualified plans or individual retirement accounts that participants elect to have invested in the Plan either by a direct rollover to the Plan or by a distribution followed by a contribution within 60 days of receipt.

(c) | Participant Allocation of Income and Loss |
Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contributions, employer contributions and allocations of Plan earnings as defined by the Plan. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s vested account. Participants may elect to have their contributions invested in the funds listed in the Plan’s provisions as they choose.
Distributions may be made upon the occurrence of any of the following:
| |
• | Any termination of employment, |
| |
• | Death of an actively employed participant prior to the normal retirement date (age 65), |
| |
• | Termination of the Plan, |
| |
• | Participant is still employed and has reached age 59 1/2, |
| |
• | Participant is still employed and has suffered a financial hardship, or |
| |
• | Participant is still employed and has completed a rollover of funds into the Plan. |
Distributions are made in either one lump sum payment or under installments.
| |
(e) | Investment Fund Transfers |
Participants may direct a transfer of all or a portion of their current account balances among investment funds in 1% increments on a daily basis.
Forfeitures are transferred to a forfeiture account, which is maintained for the Plan as a whole and is not attributable to any given participant. The balance of the forfeiture account may be used to correct errors in the accounts of other participants, pay Plan administrative expenses or reduce matching contributions to the Plan, as directed by the Company. Total forfeitures used in 2012 were $1,775.
The Company intends to continue the Plan indefinitely, but reserves the right to terminate the Plan at any time.
The Company pays the cost of administering the Plan. Investment manager fees are paid from the investment funds.

(2) | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
(a) Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires the plan administrator to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of net assets available for benefits and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of changes in net assets available for benefits during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
| |
(c) | Investment Valuation and Income Recognition |
Investments of the Plan are stated at fair value. Fair value is the last reported sales price on the last business day of the month for securities traded on a national securities exchange. Fair value for shares of mutual and common collective trust funds is the net asset value of those shares or units, as determined by the respective fund.
Purchases and sales of investments are reflected on a trade-date basis. Net appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of investments includes gains and losses on investments bought and sold, as well as held, during the year. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Accrued investment income is reflected in the investment balance.
| |
(d) | Fully Benefit-Responsive Investments Contracts |
The Plan indirectly invests in investment contracts and security-backed contracts through the Invesco Stable Value Retirement Fund. An investment contract is a contract issued by a financial institution to provide a stated return to the buyer of the contract for a specified period of time. A security-backed contract has similar characteristics as a traditional investment contract and is comprised of two parts: the first is a fixed-income security or portfolio of fixed-income securities, the second part is a contract value guarantee (wrapper) provided by a third party. The yield earned by the Invesco Stable Value Retirement Fund at December 31, 2012 and 2011 was 1.511% and 1.760%, respectively. The credit rate was 1.689% and 1.821% as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The credit ratings of Invesco are: Moody's - A3 Stable, S&P - A Stable, and Fitch A - Stable.
As described in Financial Accounting Standards (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC or Codification) Topic 946-210-45, fully benefit-responsive investment contracts held by defined-contribution plans are required to be reported at fair value. However, the Codification states that contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits of a defined-contribution plan attributable to fully-responsive benefit contracts because contract value is the amount participants would receive it they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the Plan. As required by the Codification, the statements of net assets available for benefits present the fair value of the investment contracts as well as the adjustment of the fully-benefit responsive contracts from fair value to contract value. The statement of changes in net assets available for benefits is prepared on a contract-value basis.
Events which could limit the ability of the Invesco Stable Value Retirement Fund to execute transactions at contract value with the Plan include termination of the Plan, if the plan sponsor elects to withdraw from a wrapper contract in order to switch to a different investment provider, or if the terms of a successor plan do not meet the wrapper contract issuer's criteria for issuance of a clone wrapper contract.
Benefits are recorded when paid.

(f) | New Accounting Pronouncements |
In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements. This guidance requires enhanced disclosures for certain investment classes. The Plan adopted the provisions of the standard for the year ended December 31, 2012. The adoption of these provisions did not have a material effect on the Plan’s financial statements.
On January 1, 2011, the Plan was amended and restated and Fastenal Company common stock available through the plan was classified as an ESOP. Prior to 2011, the Plan utilized a prototype plan format to which the Internal Revenue Service issued a favorable opinion letter, dated March 31, 2008, stating that the prototype plan document qualified under Section 401(a) of the IRC. On January 31, 2011, the Plan filed an application with the Internal Revenue Service for advanced determination of the qualification of the plan. The plan administrator believes the Plan is a qualified plan and does not believe any events have occurred that might adversely affect the Plan’s qualified status.
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles require plan management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the Plan has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service. The plan administrator has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Plan, and has concluded that as of December 31, 2012, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. The plan administrator believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2009.

(6) | Party-in-Interest Transactions |
The Plan engages in transactions involving the acquisition and disposition of investments with fiduciaries of the Plan including, but not limited to, the trustee and administrator of the Plan and the Company. The fiduciaries are considered parties-in-interest; however, the transactions are not considered prohibited transactions under ERISA.
| |
(7) | Risk and Uncertainties |
The Plan offers a number of investment options to participants that are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, credit, and overall market volatility risk. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and such changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits and participant accounts.
At December 31, 2012 and 2011, approximately 48% and 50%, respectively, of the Plan’s net assets were invested in the common stock of Fastenal Company. The underlying value of the Fastenal Company common stock is entirely dependent upon the performance of Fastenal Company and the market’s evaluation of such performance. It is at least reasonably possible that changes in the fair value of Fastenal Company common stock in the near term could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits and the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits.
| |
(8) | Fair Value Measurements |
Under ASC 820, various inputs are used in determining the fair value of the Plan’s investments. These inputs are summarized in a hierarchy that segregates fair value measurements into three levels (Levels 1, 2, and 3), determined by the nature of input as follows:
| |
• | Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market is a market in which transactions occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value. |
| |
• | Level 2 – Other significant observable inputs, including quoted prices for similar securities in active markets, quoted prices for identical securities in markets that are not active, and other market-corroborated inputs. |
| |
• | Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs, including the Plan’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments, based on the best information available in the circumstances. |
The level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets held and carried at fair value:
| |
• | Common Stock – Valued daily based on quoted prices from national exchanges. |
| |
• | Mutual funds – Valued daily based on quoted prices from national exchanges. |
| |
• | Stable value funds – The unit value is calculated at the end of each business day. The unit value is based on the current value of the investment contract fund’s holdings divided by the total number of outstanding units to obtain a daily net asset value (NAV) as provided by the fund issuer. |
The following tables present the level within the fair value hierarchy at which the investments are measured on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2012 and 2011:

The fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2011 did not appropriately reflect the level for the stable value investment fund category. The Plan assessed the effect of moving the fund from Level 1 to Level 2 on the December 31, 2011 financial statements and determined such leveling correction was immaterial to the previously reported financial statements.
For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Plan held no assets in which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining fair value. The Plan did not have any transfers between Levels 1, 2, and 3 during the years then ended.
There were no subsequent events requiring adjustment to the financial statements or disclosure through June 24, 2013, the date that the Plan’s financial statements were issued.
