Spaldings, Inc. of Spokane, Washington sponsors Spalding Auto, Inc. 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan, a 401(k) plan. Its Form 5500 for the plan year ending 30 Sep 2025 shows 205 participants (154 active) and $16.6M in net assets.
Net assets came to $81,134 per participant, well above the $60,185 median for defined contribution plans with 100 to 249 participants and well above the $36,708 median for defined contribution plans in retail trade. The figure is an average across everyone in the plan, including former employees with small balances; Form 5500 holds no individual account data.
The employer contributed $136K during the year, or $880 per active participant against a same-size median of $2,447; participants contributed $478K. Benefits paid out totalled $912K.
The filing reports no service provider compensation on Schedule C. That is common where fees are paid by the employer or taken from investment returns, neither of which appears there. Administrative expenses charged to the plan were $3,110.
Across the filings on record, net assets went from $4.8M in 2009 to $16.6M in 2024 (up 243%), and participants from 177 to 205 (up 16%).
The independent accountant's opinion on the financial statements was unmodified (unqualified), from an audit whose scope was limited under ERISA section 103(a)(3)(C) to exclude investment information certified by a bank or insurer.

Questions and answers
How big is Spalding Auto, Inc. 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan?
205 participants at the end of the plan year ending 30 Sep 2025, of whom 154 were active employees, with net assets of $16,632,468. Among defined contribution plans that places it in the 100 to 249 participants band, which held 21,996 plans in plan year 2024.
What does Spaldings, Inc. contribute per participant?
The filing reports $135,508 in employer contributions for the year, which is $880 per active participant; the median for plans of the same type and size was $2,447 in plan year 2024. Form 5500 reports the total only. It does not state the match formula, and the per-participant figure is an average, not any one person's contribution.
What fees does the plan pay and how do they compare?
Schedule C reports no provider compensation for the year. Administrative expenses on Schedule H were $3,110. Investment costs deducted inside mutual funds and other pooled vehicles are not itemised on Form 5500, so these figures are a floor rather than a full cost.
Who runs the plan?
The sponsor is Spaldings, Inc.. Recordkeeping or administration: Stancorp Financial Group. Trustee or custodian: Stancorp Financial Group. The financial statements were audited by Fruci and Associates, PS. Form 5500 also names the plan administrator's signer and other individuals; this site publishes organisations only.
Was the audit opinion unqualified?
The filing reports an unmodified (unqualified) opinion from a limited-scope audit, in which the accountant did not audit investment information certified by a bank or insurance company. Unmodified (formerly "unqualified") is the standard clean opinion.
How current is this, and does it show my balance?
This is the Form 5500 for the plan year 1 Oct 2024 to 30 Sep 2025, received by the Department of Labor on 9 Jul 2026. Filings are due seven months after the plan year ends, or nine and a half with an extension, so the public record always runs a year or more behind. It contains plan-level totals only: no individual balances, contributions or names of participants exist in the data.
