Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Audit Committee, Board of Directors and Stockholders
Leggett & Platt, Incorporated 401(k) Plan and Trust
Carthage, Missouri
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of Leggett & Platt, Incorporated 401(k) Plan and Trust (the Plan) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended. 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. The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing auditing procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. Our audits also included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management and 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 Leggett & Platt, Incorporated 401(k) Plan and Trust as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying supplemental schedules are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements, but are 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. These supplemental schedules are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2009 and 2008
NOTE A – DESCRIPTION OF PLAN
The following description of the Leggett & Platt, Incorporated (L&P or the Company) 401(k) Plan and Trust (Plan) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.
General
The Plan was originally established on September 1, 2000 and restated effective January 1, 2003 to consolidate certain 401(k) plans of the Company’s subsidiaries and affiliates. It was subsequently restated effective January 1, 2007 to incorporate the Retirement K provisions (see below). The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering employees who meet eligibility requirements. It is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).
Eligibility of Employees
Employees of an L&P branch or subsidiary who are classified as full-time and have completed one year of service, part-time and temporary employees credited with one year of service and at least 1,000 hours of service in the first twelve months of employment or in any calendar year, and bargaining unit employees who have negotiated inclusion into the Plan and credited with 1,000 hours of service in the first twelve months of employment or in any calendar year covered by the Plan are considered eligible for participation. If a previously ineligible employee changes employment status and, as a result, meets the above criteria, the employee may generally participate in the Plan on the first day of the second month after becoming eligible. Eligible employees may participate beginning on January 1 or July 1 after meeting eligibility requirements or on any special entry date according to the adoption agreement.
Contributions
Employer contributions, including matching contributions, are made in accordance with the Plan document or at the discretion of the employer. When other benefit plans are consolidated into this Plan, participating subsidiaries or affiliates have the option of making no contributions or matching 20% or 40% of employee contributions, limited by 6% of eligible employee compensation. Employer discretionary contributions will be allocated based on each participant’s eligible contributions in proportion to total eligible employee contributions.
Employees may elect to voluntarily contribute up to 15% of eligible compensation, limited by annual Internal Revenue Service (IRS) contribution limits and any applicable Plan limits. Employee rollover contributions are also permitted. Participants direct the investment of all contributions into various investment options offered by the Plan. The Plan currently offers Company common stock, mutual funds and common trust funds as investment options for participants.
Effective January 1, 2008, the Plan began to allow “Roth” contributions to the Plan. These contributions are made on an after tax basis subject to the rules contained in the Internal Revenue Code (IRC).
Also effective on January 1, 2008, the Plan began to allow catch up contributions for participants age 50 and over. Catch up contributions are not eligible for a Company matching contribution.
Participant Accounts
Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contribution and allocations of the Company’s contribution and Plan earnings.

NOTE A – DESCRIPTION OF PLAN - CONTINUED
Retirement K
The Plan was amended effective April 1, 2007 to add the Retirement K provision. The purpose of this provision is to continue generating retirement benefits on behalf of active participants in the Leggett & Platt, Incorporated Retirement Plan (Retirement Plan) when benefit accruals ceased as of December 31, 2006 for this plan. An employee was eligible to be a Retirement K participant if on December 31, 2006 he or she was an active participant in the Retirement Plan and on or after April 1, 2007, he or she is a participant in this Plan.
On July 24, 2008, a Plan amendment effective January 1, 2007, was executed that allowed participants in the Hanes Companies, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan II to contribute to the Plan under the Retirement K provision. Hanes Plan participants can also continue to contribute to the Hanes Plan, subject to contribution limits prescribed by the IRS.
Retirement K participants receive employer matching contributions ranging from 20% to 80% based on their age, limited by 6% of eligible employee compensation.
Vesting and Distributions
Participants are always 100% vested in their employee contributions and rollover accounts. A participant’s prior plan company matching contribution account and prior plan company profit sharing account merged into this Plan shall continue to vest in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in the prior plan. In addition, Company contributions are not vested until three years of service with 1,000 hours completed, at which time they will become 100% vested. A participant’s entire account balance will become fully vested at normal retirement age or termination due to disability or death. A participant’s non-vested account balance will be forfeited at the time of distribution of the vested account balance. The forfeitures will be used to restore accounts, pay Plan fees and expenses, and reduce Company matching contributions and/or Company discretionary matching contributions, as directed by the Plan Administrative Committee. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, forfeited non-vested accounts totaled $45,280 and $180,779, respectively.
Upon separation of employment, the Plan will automatically process a distribution of the participant’s account if the vested balance of that account is $1,000 or less, unless the participant elects to roll over the balance to an individual retirement account or another qualified retirement plan. If the vested balance is greater than $1,000 but less than $5,000, the balance will be rolled over into a qualified individual retirement account at Wells Fargo, unless the participant elects direct distribution or other eligible direct rollover. Participants with vested balances exceeding $5,000 can elect to keep their balance in the Plan indefinitely or until a distribution or rollover is elected. In-service withdrawals are allowed by participants after reaching age 59 1/2. In-service hardship withdrawals are also allowed by participants prior to reaching age 59 1/2, provided they meet the hardship withdrawal requirements set forth by the Plan.
Participant Loans
Participants may borrow from any of their vested participant accounts up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 (reduced by their highest outstanding loan balance during the twelve months immediately preceding the loan) or fifty percent (50%) of their vested account balance. The minimum loan amount is $500 and the interest rate will be set at the Prime Rate as quoted in the Wall Street Journal on the day the loan is processed, plus one percent (1%). The maximum number of loans that may be outstanding at any one time is two, one for any reason and one to acquire a principal residence. Effective October 1, 2008, if an employer is sold and therefore ceases to be a related company, the Administrative Committee may, at its sole discretion, permit each participant whose employment with all related companies terminates to transfer all loans outstanding to a retirement plan maintained by the purchaser of that employer.

NOTE A – DESCRIPTION OF PLAN - CONTINUED
Plan Trustee
Wells Fargo, the sole trustee of the Plan, holds all Plan assets, executes all of the investment transactions, and maintains the financial records relating to the trust and makes all benefit payments as directed by the Plan Administrative Committee.
Administrative Expenses
Administrative expenses are paid by both L&P and the Plan. Some expenses related to the investment funds are paid from participants’ accounts and are reflected in the financial statements of the Plan. All other expenses are paid directly by L&P and are not reflected in the financial statements of the Plan.
Plan Termination
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, L&P has the right, by action of its Board of Directors, to terminate the Plan at any time.
NOTE B – SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Accounting
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting, except for benefit payments, which are recorded when paid.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Investments
The fair value of mutual fund and common stock investments is based upon quoted market prices as of the close of business on the last day of the year. These are classified within level 1 of the valuation hierarchy as the quoted price is in an active market. Common trust funds are valued at the reported unit value, which is derived from the fair value of the underlying investments. These are classified within level 2 of the valuation hierarchy because the unit value is quoted on a private market that is not active, however, the unit value is based on underlying investments which are traded on an active market. Loans to plan participants are valued at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value and are classified within level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. See Note D for further information regarding the valuation hierarchy. Purchases and sales of investments are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Investment Contracts
The Plan holds an investment in the Wachovia Diversified Stable Value Fund (Fund). The Fund invests in traditional, separate account, and general fixed maturity synthetic and constant duration synthetic guaranteed investment contracts (GICs). The Plan’s investment in the Fund is presented at fair value on the table of the investments held in the Plan (Note C).
Traditional GICs are unsecured, general account obligations of insurance companies. The obligation is backed by the general account assets of the insurance company that writes the investment contract. The crediting rate on this product is typically fixed for the life of the investment.
Separate account GICs are investments in a segregated account of assets maintained by an insurance company for the benefit of investors. The total return of the segregated account assets supports the separate account GIC return. The crediting rate on this product will reset periodically and it will have an interest rate of not less than 0%.
Synthetic GICs consist of a portfolio of securities owned by the Fund and a benefit responsive, book value wrap contract purchased for the portfolio. The wrap contract amortizes gains and losses of the underlying securities over the portfolio duration, and assures that book value benefit responsive payments will be made for participant directed withdrawals. The crediting rate on a synthetic GIC resets every quarter based on the book value of the contract, the market yield of the underlying assets, the market value of the underlying assets and the average duration of the underlying assets. The crediting rate aims at converging the book value of the contract and the market value of the underlying portfolio over the duration of the contract and therefore will be affected by movements in interest rates and/or changes in the market value of the underlying portfolio. The initial crediting rate is established based on the market interest rates at the time the underlying portfolio is first put together and it will have an interest rate of not less than 0%.
The Fund uses two primary crediting rate calculations for separate account and synthetic contracts. Both methods use current market value of underlying bonds, expected yield to maturity on underlying bonds, average duration of the portfolio, and the wrap contract value to calculate the interest crediting rate. The interest crediting rate is the incremental interest rate in excess of the expected bond yields required for the future value of the bond portfolio to equal the contract value at the termination of the wrap contract. The net crediting rate reflects fees paid to wrap (synthetic) contract issuers.
Primary variables impacting future crediting rates of separate account and synthetic GICs include the following: (i) current yield of the assets within the wrap contract; (ii) duration of the assets covered by the wrap contract; (iii) existing difference between the market value and contract value of assets within the wrap contract. Traditional fixed-rate GICs do not experience fluctuating crediting rates.

NOTE B – SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
Certain events limit the ability of the Plan to transact at contract value with the issuer. Such events include the following: (i) amendments to the Fund documents or Fund’s administration; (ii) changes to Fund’s prohibition on competing investment options by participating plans or deletion of equity wash provisions; (iii) complete or partial termination of the Fund or its merger with another fund; (iv) the failure of the Fund or its trust to qualify for exemption from federal income taxes or any required prohibited transaction exemption under ERISA; (v) unless made in accordance with the withdrawal provisions of the Fund, the redemption of all or a portion of the interests in the Fund held by a participating plan at the direction of the participating plan sponsor, including withdrawals due to the removal of a specifically identifiable group of employees from coverage under the participating plan (such as a group layoff or early retirement incentive program), or the closing or sale of a subsidiary, employing unit or affiliate, the bankruptcy or insolvency of a plan sponsor, the merger of the plan with another plan, or the plan sponsor’s establishment of another tax qualified defined contribution plan; (vi) any change in law, regulation, ruling, administrative or judicial position or accounting requirement, in any case applicable to the Fund or participating plans, and (vii) the delivery of any communication to plan participants designed to influence a participant not to invest in the Fund. At this time, the Fund does not believe that the occurrence of any such market value event which would limit the Fund’s ability to transact at contract value with participants is probable.
The GICs do not permit the insurance companies to terminate the agreement prior to the scheduled maturity date.
The average yield based on actual earnings was 2.60% and 4.80% at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The average yield based on interest rate credited to participants was 3.37% and 3.61% at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Income Taxes
The Plan is a qualified tax-exempt plan under the IRC and, therefore, is exempt from federal and state income taxes. A favorable determination letter was received on December 30, 2005 for amendments dated July 19, 2004 and before. Amendments have been made to the Plan subsequent to that date. L&P believes the Plan is currently designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC and conforms to the requirements of ERISA. With a few exceptions, the Plan is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, and local or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2006.

NOTE D – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements, specifies a fair value hierarchy and defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The primary areas in which the Plan utilizes fair value measurements are valuing the Plan’s investments. See Note B for discussions of the methodologies and assumptions used to determine the fair value of the Plan’s investments. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
| • | Level 1: Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. |
| • | Level 2: Other significant inputs observable either directly or indirectly (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, yield curves, credit risk, etc.). |
| • | Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data. |
The following table sets forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the Plan’s assets at fair value as of December 31, 2009 and 2008.

NOTE H – PLAN RESOLUTION AND SUBSEQUENT EVENTS - CONTINUED
Effective January 1, 2010, if a previously ineligible employee changes employment status and, as a result, meets the criteria of an eligible employee, the employee may generally participate in the Plan as soon as is administratively reasonable.
Subsequent events have been evaluated through June 22, 2010, which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued.
NOTE I – RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The Plan invests in various investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market and credit risks. The Plan’s exposure to these risks has been heightened because of the current economic environment. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially adversely affect the participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits. The financial statements have been prepared using values and information currently available to the Plan.
