Participants of the Cummins Inc. and
Affiliates Retirement and Savings Plan for Lubricant
Consultants, Inc. Employees
Columbus, Indiana
We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for benefits of the Cummins Inc. and Affiliates Retirement and Savings Plan for Lubricant Consultants, Inc. Employees (the "Plan") as of December 31, 2002, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2002. 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 audit. The financial statements of Cummins Inc. and Affiliates Retirement and Savings Plan for Lubricant Consultants, Inc. Employees as of December 31, 2001, were audited by other auditors whose report dated July 5, 2002, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the 2002 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2002, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2002, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The following description of the Cummins Inc. and Affiliates Retirement and Savings Plan for Lubricant Consultants, Inc. Employees (the "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 is a defined contribution plan designed to provide participants with a systematic method of savings and at the same time enable such participants to benefit from contributions made to the Plan by Cummins Inc. and Affiliates (collectively, the "Company"). Eligible employees are employees of Lubricant Consultants, Inc. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA").
Master Trust
The Cummins Inc. and Affiliates Retirement and Savings Plans Master Trust ("Master Trust") holds the assets of the Plan and the following Company-sponsored plans:
Cummins Inc. and Affiliates Retirement and Savings Plan for Salaried and Non-Bargaining Hourly Employees;
Cummins Inc. and Affiliates Retirement and Savings Plan for ONAN Corporation Employees;

The trustee for the Master Trust is The Vanguard Group.
Participant Accounts

Benefit Payments
Upon termination of employment or retirement, account balances are paid either as a lump-sum distribution or annual installments not to exceed the lesser of 15 years or the life expectancy of the participant and/or joint life expectancy of the participant and beneficiary, and commence no later than the participant reaching age 70-1/2. The Plan also permits hardship withdrawals from participant pre-tax contributions and actual earnings thereon.
Voting Rights
Each participant is entitled to exercise voting rights attributable to the Company shares allocated to his or her account. The Trustee shall vote all Company shares for which no voting instructions were received in the same manner and proportion as the shares for which voting instructions were received.
Participant Loans
A participant can obtain a loan up to a maximum of the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of the participant's account balance. Loans are secured by the participant's account balance and bear interest at the prime rate plus one percent, and mature no later than 4½ years from the date of the loan.
Plan Termination
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA.
Basis of Accounting
The financial statements of the Plan have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.
Investments
The Plan's investment in the Master Trust is stated at fair value based on the fair value of the underlying investments of the Master Trust, determined primarily by quoted market prices, except for the fixed income fund. The fixed income fund consists primarily of insurance contracts and bank investment contracts with various insurance companies and is stated at contract value as the investments are fully benefit-responsive. The contract values represent contributions made under the contracts, plus earnings, less withdrawals and administrative expenses. Withdrawals or transfers from the fund are valued at contract value.
Allocation of Master Trust Assets and Transactions
The investment income and expenses of the Master Trust are allocated to each plan based on the relationship of the Plan's investment balances to the total Master Trust investment balances.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements, in accordance 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, liabilities, and changes therein, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Master Trust invests in various securities. 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.
Administrative Expenses
Substantially all costs of administering the Plan are paid by the Company.
3. INVESTMENTS IN MASTER TRUST
The Plan's investments are held in the Master Trust. The assets of the Master Trust are held by The Vanguard Group. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Plan's interest in the net assets of the Master Trust was .04% and .05%, respectively. The following investments are held by the Master Trust as of December 31:

4. TAX STATUS
The Plan received a favorable determination letter dated June 10, 1996 in which the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") stated that the Plan, as then designed, was in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"). The Plan has been amended since receiving that determination letter. The Company and its counsel believe that the Plan is currently designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the Plan's financial statements.
5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Certain Master Trust investments are shares of mutual funds managed by The Vanguard Group, and shares of Cummins Inc. The Vanguard Group is the trustee of the Master Trust and Cummins Inc. is the Plan Sponsor; therefore, transactions with these parties qualify as party-in-interest transactions.
The Plan is currently undergoing an audit by the Internal Revenue Service for plan years 1999 through 2001. As this audit is not yet complete, the financial statements do not reflect any potential liability related to this audit. In addition, the Company is not aware of any potential plan disqualification issues that have arisen during this audit.
