Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Retirement Committee
Brady Matched 401(k) Plan
Milwaukee, Wisconsin
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of Brady Matched 401(k) 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 audit 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. An audit also 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 Brady Matched 401(k) Plan as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended in conformity with United States 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 accompanying supplemental schedule is presented for purposes 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 presented fairly, in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

BRADY MATCHED 401(k) PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2009 AND 2008
NOTE 1 — DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN
The following description of the Brady Matched 401(k) Plan (the Plan) is provided for general information purposes only. Participants should refer to the Plan document for more complete information.
General
The Plan is a defined contribution plan, which provides retirement benefits to substantially all full-time employees of Brady Corporation (the Company). The Plan does not provide benefits for employees covered by a collective bargaining agreement, leased employees, co-op students, on-call employees or interns. An employee may become a participant in the Plan on the employee’s initial date of employment. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA).
Contributions
Each year, participants may contribute up to 50% of their annual base compensation subject to the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) limitations. These voluntary contributions can be withdrawn in whole or part in the event of qualifying emergencies (as defined by the Plan), subject to certain restrictions. The Company is required to contribute a 100% matching contribution of the first 3% and 50% of the next 2% that a participant contributes, subject to compensation limits of $245,000 for calendar year 2009, adjusted for inflation. Participants self-direct all participant and Company contributions.
Participant Accounts
Individual accounts are maintained for each Plan participant. Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contribution, the Company’s matching contribution (net of participant forfeitures) and Plan earnings, and charged with withdrawals and an allocation of Plan losses and administrative expenses. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s vested account.
For any newly eligible participant, the Plan will automatically withhold 3% of the employee’s pay, on a pre-tax basis unless otherwise directed by the employee. The withheld funds will be deposited into an account under the employee’s name in the Plan, unless a waiver form was completed by the employee prior to receiving compensation for the first time subsequent to becoming eligible to participate.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2009 AND 2008
NOTE 1 — DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (continued)
Investments
Investment options include various equity funds, a common collective trust fund, a bond fund, two money market funds, and Brady Corporation Class A Non-Voting Common Stock.
Vesting
The Plan provides for full vesting of participants’ contributions from the date they are made. Company contributions will become vested after a two-year period of continuous service for all contributions made after January 1, 2008. The participants’ share of the Company contribution becomes fully vested, in any event, upon normal retirement at age 65, termination due to permanent or total disability or death.
Participants may withdraw their vested interests upon retirement, approved hardship withdrawal, death, disability, or other termination of employment. Withdrawals are made at the participant’s option in the form of a lump sum, installments, or in-kind in shares of Brady Corporation Class A Non-Voting Common Stock.
Participant Loans
Participants may borrow from their plan accounts a minimum of $1,000 and up to 50% of their account balance with a maximum of $50,000. The loans are secured by the balance in the participant’s account and bear interest at the prime rate. As of December 31, 2009, the interest rates on outstanding loans range from 3.25% to 10.25%.
Payment of Benefits
On termination of service due to death, disability, or retirement, a participant may elect to receive either a lump-sum amount equal to the value of the participant’s vested interest in his or her account, or installments over a specified period. For termination of service for other reasons, a participant may receive the value of the vested interest in his or her account as a lump-sum distribution.
Forfeited Accounts
At December 31, 2009 and 2008, forfeited non-vested accounts totaled $282,737 and $103,340, respectively. These amounts were used to reduce employer contribution receivables as of December 31, 2009 and 2008.

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Accounting
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared under the accrual basis in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).
Investment contracts held by a defined-contribution plan are required to be reported at fair value. However, contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits for a defined contribution plan attributable for fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the plans. The Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits presents the fair value of the investment contracts as well as the adjustment of the fully benefit-responsive investment contracts from fair value to contract value. The Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits is prepared on a contract value basis.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires Plan management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of net assets available for benefits and changes therein. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Plan utilizes various investment instruments, including mutual funds, common stock and a common collective trust fund. Investment securities, in general, are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, credit, and overall market volatility. 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 that such changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the financial statements.

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Investment Valuation and Income Recognition
Investments are reported at fair value. Fair value is 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. Refer to Note 4 below.
Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net appreciation includes the Plan’s gains and losses on investments bought and sold as well as held during the year.
Management fees and operating expenses charged to the Plan for investments in the mutual funds are deducted from income earned on a daily basis and are not separately reflected. Consequently, management fees and operating expenses are reflected as a reduction of investment return for such investments.
Administrative Expenses
Administrative fees are paid by the Plan. The Company pays the other accounting, investment management, legal and miscellaneous fees of the Plan.
Payment of Benefits
Benefit payments to participants are recorded upon distribution. There were no amounts allocated to accounts of persons who have elected to withdraw from the Plan, but have not yet been paid as of December 31, 2009 and 2008.
Excess Contributions Payable
The Plan is required to return contributions received during the Plan year in excess of the IRC limits to the contributing participants. There were excess contributions of $6,866 and $5,252 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

AS OF AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2009 AND 2008
NOTE 4 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
GAAP establishes a hierarchal disclosure framework which prioritizes and ranks the level of observable inputs used in measuring fair value.
Additionally, GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The Plan primarily applies the market approach for recurring fair value measurements and attempts to utilize the best available information. Accordingly, the Plan also utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The Plan is able to classify fair value balances based on the observability of those inputs. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3).
The Plan’s net assets measured at fair market value are classified in one of the following categories:
Level 1  
Assets for which fair value is based on quoted market prices in active markets for identical instruments as of the reporting date.
Level 2  
Assets for which fair value is based on valuation models for which pricing inputs were either directly or indirectly observable
Level 3  
Assets for which fair value is based on valuation models with significant unobservable pricing inputs and which result in the use of management estimates.
The asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any inputs that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value. There have been no changes in the methodologies used at December 31, 2009.
Shares of equity funds and bond funds are valued at quoted market prices, which represent the net asset value of shares held by the Plan at year end. Common stock is valued at quoted market prices. Such securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy.
The common collective trust fund is valued at fair market value of the underlying investments and then adjusted by the issuer to contract value. The collective trust funds do not have finite lives, unfunded commitments relating to these types of investments, or significant restrictions on redemptions. The money market funds are valued at a stable $1.00 net asset value. Such securities are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.
Participant loans are valued at the amortized cost, which represents fair value. Such securities are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.

NOTE 4 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT (continued)
The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the Plan believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in different fair value measurement at the reporting date.
The following table sets forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the Plan’s assets at fair value as December 31, 2009.

NOTE 5 — PLAN TERMINATION
Although it has not expressed any intention to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan provisions to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions set forth in ERISA. In the event that the Plan is terminated, participants would become 100 percent vested in unvested employer matching contributions in their accounts.
NOTE 6 — FEDERAL INCOME TAX STATUS
The Plan uses a prototype plan document sponsored by PNC Bank (PNC or the Trustee). PNC received an opinion letter from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), dated November 19, 2001, which states that the prototype document satisfies the applicable provisions of the IRC. The Plan itself has not received a determination letter from the IRS. However, the Plan’s management believes that the Plan is currently designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC. Therefore, no provision for income tax has been included in the Plan’s financial statements.
NOTE 7 — EXEMPT PARTY-IN-INTEREST TRANSACTIONS
The Plan invests in Company common stock. In addition, certain plan investments represent shares of mutual funds and common collective trust funds managed by the Trustee. Fees paid by the Plan for investment management services were included as a reduction of the return earned on each fund. These transactions are considered party-in-interest transactions. These transactions are not, however, considered prohibited transactions under ERISA regulations.
At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Plan held 129,998 and 124,944 shares, respectively of common stock of Brady Corporation, with a cost basis of $2,824,087 and $3,127,795, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Plan recorded dividend income from the common stock of Brady Corporation of $93,305 and $69,176, respectively.
