(1)    Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information. They do not include all information and footnotes
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements. However, there has been no material change in the information
disclosed in the notes to financial statements included in the Company's
financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 1994. In the
opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.


(2)    Seasonal Nature of Business

     The Company's product sales are generally greater in the second and third
quarters of the year due to seasonal factors affecting the construction
industry.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION  AND  ANALYSIS  OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
         AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain
significant factors which have affected the Company's financial position and
operating results during the periods included in the accompanying financial
statements.

Six months 1995 vs. 1994
------------------------

     Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 1995 increased 45.2% to
$106,566,000 versus the $73,370,000 recorded during the comparable 1994 period.
The increase came primarily from higher unit sales, although prices were about
4% higher in the 1995 period. Higher unit sales came from increases in same
store sales and from the addition of new stores. Stores opened in 1993 or
earlier had average sales increases of 32.6%. The remainder of the 45.2% sales
growth came from stores opened in 1994 and during the first six months of 1995.
Seventy-nine new stores were added from July, 1994 through June, 1995. Fifty-
eight of the added stores were Fastenal stores, seventeen were FastTool stores,
and four were combination Fastenal/FastTool stores in smaller communities.
FastTool stores are located adjacent to existing Fastenal stores and sell power
and hand tools and safety supplies to the same customer base.

     Net earnings for the first six months grew from $8,004,000 in 1994 to
$12,804,000 in 1995, an increase of 60.0%. Net earnings increased at a faster
rate than net sales because gross profits increased 45.1% (commensurate with the
increase in net sales), while the operating and administrative expenses
increased only 38.2%. The Company's fixed costs increase at a rate similar to
the rate of increase in the number of stores. The 79 stores added since June 30,
1994 represent a 27% increase in the number of stores since the end of the
second quarter of 1994.

Second quarter 1995 vs. 1994
----------------------------

     Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 1995 increased 40.8% to
$55,475,000 versus the $39,388,000 recorded during the comparable 1994 period.
Reasons for the increase were the same as those mentioned in the six months
comparison. The same store sales increases are due primarily to strength in the
manufacturing segment of the economy. Many of the Company's customers are in the
auto, machinery and processing sections of the manufacturing economy, all of
which are experiencing relatively high sales rates. Fourteen new Fastenal
stores, eight new FastTool stores, and two new combination stores were opened in
the quarter, bringing the opened store totals to 344 Fastenal stores, 22
FastTool stores, and 4 combination stores.

     Net earnings for the first three months grew from $4,570,000 in 1994 to
$6,720,000 in 1995, an increase of 47.0%. Net earnings increased at a faster
rate than net sales because operating and administrative expenses increased
36.3%, or less than the rate of increase for net sales. Operating and
administrative expenses increase primarily because of the opening of new stores.
At the end of the 1995 period the Company had 27% more stores than at the end of
the 1994 period.


Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------

     The higher level of sales during the period resulted in the growth of trade
accounts receivable and inventories. Property and equipment increased because of
the construction of new manufacturing facilities in Winona, Minnesota, and the
addition of trucks and data processing equipment. Cash requirements for these
asset changes were satisfied from net earnings, use of available cash, and 
short-term bank loans. The Company expects to generate sufficient excess cash
flow in the third quarter of 1995 to pay off all short-term bank loans while
maintaining current expansion plans.
