CUMMINS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Cummins Inc. (“Cummins,” “the Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) is a leading global power provider that designs, manufactures, distributes and services diesel and natural gas engines, electric power generation systems and engine-related component products, including filtration and emissions solutions, fuel systems, controls and air handling systems. We were founded in 1919 as one of the first manufacturers of diesel engines and are headquartered in Columbus, Indiana. We sell our products to Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), distributors and other customers worldwide. We serve our customers through a network of more than 600 company-owned and independent distributor locations and approximately 6,000 dealer locations in more than 190 countries and territories.

NOTE 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted as permitted by such rules and regulations. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the presentation of the current period condensed financial statements.

Our reporting period usually ends on the Sunday closest to the last day of the quarterly calendar period. The third quarters of 2011 and 2010 ended on September 25, and September 26, respectively. The interim periods for both 2011 and 2010 contain 13 weeks. Our fiscal year ends on December 31, regardless of the day of the week on which December 31 falls.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Significant estimates and assumptions in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements require the exercise of judgment and are used for, but not limited to, allowance for doubtful accounts, estimates of future cash flows and other assumptions associated with goodwill and long-lived asset impairment tests, useful lives for depreciation and amortization, warranty programs, determination of discount and other rate assumptions for pension and other postretirement benefit expenses, income taxes and deferred tax valuation allowances, lease classifications and contingencies. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may be different from these estimates.

In preparing our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, we evaluated subsequent events through the date our quarterly report was filed with the SEC.

The weighted-average diluted common shares outstanding exclude the anti-dilutive effect of certain stock options since such options had an exercise price in excess of the monthly average market value of our common stock. The options excluded from diluted earnings per share for the three and nine month periods ended September 25, 2011, and September 26, 2010, were as follows:

	Three months ended		Nine months ended
	September 25,	September 26,	September 25,	September 26,
	2011	2010	2011	2010
Options excluded	285,937	3,795	142,750	9,993

You should read these interim condensed financial statements in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. Our interim period financial results for the three and nine month interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year. The year-end Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP.

NOTE 3. RECENTLY ADOPTED AND RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted

In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) amended its rules regarding the accounting for multiple element revenue arrangements. The objective of the amendment is to allow vendors to account for revenue for different deliverables separately as opposed to part of a combined unit when those deliverables are provided at different times. Specifically, this amendment addresses how to separate deliverables and simplifies the process of allocating revenue to the different deliverables when more than one deliverable exists. The new rules were effective for us beginning January 1, 2011. This amendment did not have a significant impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as multiple element revenue arrangements are not material to our business.

Accounting Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Effective

In September 2011, the FASB amended its standards related to the testing of goodwill for impairment. The objective of this amendment is to simplify the annual goodwill impairment evaluation process. The amendment provides entities the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. The two-step impairment test is now only required if an entity determines through this qualitative analysis that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value. The new rules will become effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, however entities are permitted to early adopt the standard. We plan to early adopt the standard and apply the qualitative analysis to certain reporting units in our 2011 goodwill impairment testing process. Because the measurement of a potential impairment loss has not changed, the standard will not have a significant impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In June 2011, the FASB amended its rules regarding the presentation of comprehensive income. The objective of this amendment is to improve the comparability, consistency and transparency of financial reporting and to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income. Specifically, this amendment requires that all non-owner changes in shareholders’ equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In addition, the standard also requires disclosure of the location of reclassification adjustments between other comprehensive income and net income on the face of the financial statements. The new rules are scheduled to become effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The FASB recently added a project to its agenda to consider deferring certain aspects of this standard beyond the current anticipated effective date, specifically the provisions dealing with reclassification adjustments. Because the standard only impacts the display of comprehensive income and does not impact what is included in comprehensive income, the standard will not have a significant impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In May 2011, the FASB amended its standards related to fair value measurements and disclosures. The objective of the amendment is to improve the comparability of fair value measurements presented and disclosed in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. Primarily, this amendment changed the wording used to describe many of the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in addition to clarifying the Board’s intent about the application of existing fair value measurement requirements. The new standard also requires additional disclosures related to fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy and requires disclosure of the categorization in the hierarchy for items which are not recorded at fair value but fair value is required to be disclosed. The new rules will become effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. As of September 25, 2011, we had no fair value measurements categorized within Level 3. The only impact for us is expected to be the disclosure of the categorization in the fair value hierarchy for those items where fair value is only disclosed (primarily our debt obligations).

NOTE 4. DIVESTITURES AND ACQUISITIONS

Divestitures

In January 2011, we reached an agreement to sell certain assets and liabilities of our exhaust business which manufactures exhaust products and select components for emission systems for a variety of applications not core to our other product offerings. The transaction closed in the second quarter of 2011. This business was historically included in our Components segment. The sales price was $123 million. We recognized a pre-tax gain on the sale of $68 million, which included an allocation of goodwill of $19 million. The transaction had a working capital adjustment mechanism that was determined in the third quarter. There was not a significant change to the measurement of the gain. The gain was excluded from segment results as it was not considered by management in its evaluation of operating results for the nine months ended September 25, 2011.

Sales for this business were $171 million, $126 million and $169 million in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Income before income taxes for this business was approximately $22 million, $11 million and $19 million in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Table of Contents

During the third quarter, we signed an agreement to sell certain assets and liabilities of our light-duty filtration business which manufactures light-duty automotive and industrial filtration solutions. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2011. The sales price is expected to be approximately $90 million to $95 million, subject to a final financial statement review and includes a note receivable from the buyer of approximately $4 million. There are no earnouts or other contingencies associated with the sales price. We expect to recognize a pre-tax gain on the sale of approximately $45 million to $50 million, which includes an allocation of goodwill of approximately $11 million.

Sales for this business were $74 million, $54 million and $75 million in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Income before income taxes for this business was approximately $9 million, $2 million and $9 million in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

The assets and liabilities associated with these businesses have not been reclassified and separately presented in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as they are immaterial. We will enter into supply and other agreements with the operations that will represent ongoing involvement and as such, the results of these operations will not be presented as discontinued operations.

Acquisition

On January 4, 2010, we acquired the remaining 70 percent interest in Cummins Western Canada (CWC) from our former principal for consideration of approximately $71 million. We formed a new partnership with a new distributor principal where we own 80 percent of CWC and the new distributor principal owns 20 percent. The acquisition was effective on January 1, 2010. The $71 million of consideration consisted of:

In millions
Borrowings under credit revolver	$	44
Capital contributed by Cummins Inc.	10
Capital contributed by new principal, as described below	8
Funded from first quarter operations	9
Total consideration	$	71

The purchase price was approximately $97 million as presented below. The intangible assets are primarily customer related and are being amortized over periods ranging from one to three years. The acquisition of CWC was accounted for as a business combination, with the results of the acquired entity and the goodwill included in the Distribution operating segment as of the acquisition date. Distribution segment results also include a $12 million gain for the three months ended March 28, 2010, as we were required to re-measure our pre-existing 30 percent ownership interest in CWC to fair value in accordance with GAAP. Net sales for CWC were $272 million for the 12 months ended December 31, 2010, which was approximately two percent of Cummins Inc. consolidated sales.

The purchase price was allocated as follows:

In millions
Accounts receivable	$	31
Inventory	48
Fixed assets	45
Intangible assets	11
Goodwill	2
Other assets	2
Current liabilities	(42		)
Total purchase price	$	97
Fair value of pre-existing 30 percent interest	(26		)
Consideration given	$	71

We provided a loan to our partner of approximately $8 million to fund the purchase of his 20 percent interest. The purchase transaction resulted in $8 million of noncontrolling interest (representing our partner’s 20 percent interest) which was completely offset by the $8 million receivable from our partner, reducing the noncontrolling interest impact to zero as of the acquisition date. The interest-bearing loan is expected to be repaid over a period of 3-5 years. The partner also has periodic options to purchase an additional 10 to 15 percent interest in CWC up to a maximum of an additional 30 percent (total ownership not to exceed 50 percent).

NOTE 7. INCOME TAXES

Our tax rate is generally less than the 35 percent U.S. income tax rate primarily due to lower tax rates on foreign income and research tax credits. The tax rates for the three and nine month periods ended September 25, 2011, were 25.0 percent and 28.2 percent, respectively. The tax rate for the three and nine month periods ended September 25, 2011, includes a net discrete income tax benefit of $29 million (net of additional reserves for uncertain tax positions of $39 million) related to prior year refund claims filed for additional research tax credits, partially offset by additional foreign income net of foreign tax credits, as well as other adjustments. This benefit also includes discrete income tax charges of $2 million for prior year tax return true-up adjustments and $3 million related to the third quarter enactment of U.K. tax law changes in the three and nine month periods ended September 25, 2011. Additionally, the tax rate for the nine month period includes a second quarter discrete income tax charge of $4 million related to the enactment of state tax law changes in Indiana.

The balance of “unrecognized tax benefits,” the amount of related interest we have provided and what we believe to be the range of reasonably possible changes in the next 12 months were the following:

	September 25,		December 31,
In millions	2011		2010
Unrecognized tax benefits	$	113	$	85
Portion that, if recognized, would reduce tax expense and effective tax rates	73		33
Accrued interest on unrecognized tax benefits	19		19
Reasonably possible reduction to the balance of unrecognized tax benefits in succeeding 12 months	0 - 60		0 - 60

It is reasonably possible that the liability associated with the unrecognized tax benefits will increase or decrease within the next 12 months. These changes may be the result of the expiration of statutes of limitations or audits and could range from $0 to $60 million based on current estimates. Audit outcomes and the timing of audit settlements are subject to significant uncertainty. Although we believe that adequate provision has been made for such issues, there is the possibility that the ultimate resolution of such issues could have an adverse effect on our earnings. Conversely, if these issues are resolved favorably in the future, the related provision would be reduced, thus having a positive impact on earnings. It is anticipated that the expiration of statutes of limitations during the next 12 months could have a significant earnings impact. Due to the uncertainty of amounts and in accordance with our accounting policies, we have not recorded any potential impact of these settlements.

Our effective tax rates for the comparable prior year periods were 29.5 percent and 31.1 percent, respectively. In July 2010, the U.K. passed legislation which reduced our U.K. tax rate from 28 percent to 27 percent in 2011. We had an additional charge to our third quarter tax provision of approximately $2 million to reduce the value of our U.K. deferred tax assets. The tax rate for the nine month period included a discrete income tax charge of $7 million related to the enactment of the “Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.” The lower rate in 2011 compared to 2010 is a result of the geographic mix of earnings.

NOTE 8. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The majority of the assets and liabilities we carry at fair value are available-for-sale (AFS) securities and derivatives. AFS securities are derived from level 1 or level 2 inputs. Derivative assets and liabilities are derived from level 2 inputs. The predominance of market inputs are actively quoted and can be validated through external sources, including brokers, market transactions and third-party pricing services. When material, we adjust the values of our derivative contracts for counter-party or our credit risk. There were no transfers into or out of Levels 2 or 3 in the first nine months of 2011.

Table of Contents

Fair value of derivative assets for foreign currency forward contracts and total derivative liabilities at December 31, 2010, are not material to our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The substantial majority of our assets were valued utilizing a market approach. A description of the valuation techniques and inputs used for our level 2 fair value measures are as follows:

Debt mutual funds — Assets in level 2 consist of exchange traded mutual funds that lack sufficient trading volume to be classified at level 1. The fair value measure for these investments is the daily net asset value published on a regulated governmental website. Daily quoted prices are available from the issuing brokerage and are used on a test basis to corroborate this level 2 input.

Bank debentures and Certificates of deposit — These investments provide us with a fixed rate of return and generally range in maturity from six months to three years. The counter-parties to these investments are reputable financial institutions with investment grade credit ratings. Since these instruments are not tradable and must be settled directly by Cummins with the respective financial institution, our fair value measure is the financial institutions’ month-end statement.

Government debt securities-non-U.S. and Corporate debt securities — The fair value measure for these securities are broker quotes received from reputable firms. These securities are infrequently traded on a national stock exchange and these values are used on a test basis to corroborate our level 2 input measure.

Foreign currency forward contracts — The fair value measure for these contracts are determined based on forward foreign exchange rates received from third-party pricing services. These rates are based upon market transactions and are periodically corroborated by comparing to third-party broker quotes.

Commodity swap contracts — The fair value measure for these contracts are current spot market data adjusted for the appropriate current forward curves provided by external financial institutions. The current spot price is the most significant component of this valuation and is based upon market transactions. We use third-party pricing services for the spot price component of this valuation which is periodically corroborated by market data from broker quotes.

Interest rate contracts — We currently have only one interest rate contract. We utilize the month-end statement from the issuing financial institution as our fair value measure for this investment. We corroborate this valuation through the use of a third-party pricing service for similar assets and liabilities.

Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments

Based on borrowing rates currently available to us for bank loans with similar terms and average maturities, considering our risk premium, the fair value and carrying value of total debt, including current maturities, at September 25, 2011 and December 31, 2010, are set forth in the table below. The carrying values of all other receivables and liabilities approximated fair values.

NOTE 10. PRODUCT WARRANTY LIABILITY

We charge the estimated costs of warranty programs, other than product recalls, to income at the time products are shipped to customers. We use historical claims experience to develop the estimated liability. We review product recall programs on a quarterly basis and, if necessary, record a liability when we commit to an action or when they become probable and estimable, which is reflected in the provision for warranties issued line. We also sell extended warranty coverage on several engines. The following is a tabular reconciliation of the product warranty liability, including the deferred revenue related to our extended warranty coverage and accrued recall programs:

Table of Contents

We presently anticipate contributing at least $130 million to our defined benefit pension plans in 2011 and paying approximately $39 million, net of reimbursements, in claims and premiums for other postretirement benefits. The $130 million of contributions for the full year include voluntary contributions of approximately $109 million. These contributions and payments may be made from trusts or company funds either to increase pension assets or to make direct benefit payments to plan participants.

The components of net periodic pension and other postretirement benefit cost under our plans consisted of the following:

NOTE 12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

We are subject to numerous lawsuits and claims arising out of the ordinary course of our business, including actions related to product liability; personal injury; the use and performance of our products; warranty matters; patent, trademark or other intellectual property infringement; contractual liability; the conduct of our business; tax reporting in foreign jurisdictions; distributor termination; workplace safety; and environmental matters. We also have been identified as a potentially responsible party at multiple waste disposal sites under U.S. federal and related state environmental statutes and regulations and may have joint and several liability for any investigation and remediation costs incurred with respect to such sites. We have denied liability with respect to many of these lawsuits, claims and proceedings and are vigorously defending such lawsuits, claims and proceedings. We carry various forms of commercial, property and casualty, product liability and other forms of insurance; however, such insurance may not be applicable or adequate to cover the costs associated with a judgment against us with respect to these lawsuits, claims and proceedings. We do not believe that these lawsuits are material individually or in the aggregate. While we believe we have also established adequate accruals for our expected future liability with respect to pending lawsuits, claims and proceedings, where the nature and extent of any such liability can be reasonably estimated based upon then presently available information, there can be no assurance that the final resolution of any existing or future lawsuits, claims or proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

We conduct significant business operations in Brazil that are subject to the Brazilian federal, state and local labor, social security, tax and customs laws. While we believe we comply with such laws, they are complex, subject to varying interpretations and we are often engaged in litigation regarding the application of these laws to particular circumstances. In the third quarter of 2010, it was determined that we overpaid a Brazilian revenue based tax during the period 2004-2008. Our results include a pre-tax recovery of $32 million recorded in cost of sales ($21 million after-tax) related to tax credits on imported products arising from this overpayment. This recovery has been excluded from segment results as it was not considered by management in its evaluation of operating results for the year.

In June 2008, four of our sites in Southern Indiana, including our Technical Center, experienced extensive flood damage. We have submitted a claim for $220 million to our insurance carriers, which includes a claim for business interruption. As of September 25, 2011, we had received $92 million in recoveries from the insurance carriers. Our insurance carriers have disputed certain aspects of our claim and the parties have filed suit against each other.

U.S. Distributor Commitments

Our distribution agreements with independent and partially-owned distributors generally have a three-year term and are restricted to specified territories. Our distributors develop and maintain a network of dealers with which we have no direct relationship. The distributors are permitted to sell other, noncompetitive products only with our consent. We license all of our distributors to use our name and logo in connection with the sale and service of our products, with no right to assign or sublicense the trademarks, except to authorized dealers, without our consent. Products are sold to the distributors at standard domestic or international distributor net prices, as applicable. Net prices are wholesale prices we establish to permit our distributors an adequate margin on their sales. Subject to local laws, we can generally refuse to renew these agreements upon expiration or terminate them upon written notice for inadequate sales, change in principal ownership and certain other reasons. Distributors also have the right to terminate the agreements upon 60-day notice without cause, or 30-day notice for cause. Upon termination or failure to renew, we are required to purchase the distributor’s current inventory, signage and special tools, and may, at our option purchase other assets of the distributor, but are under no obligation to do so.

Other Guarantees and Commitments

In addition to the guarantees discussed above, from time to time we enter into other guarantee arrangements, including guarantees of non-U.S. distributor financing and other miscellaneous guarantees of third-party obligations. As of September 25, 2011, the maximum potential loss related to these other guarantees is $58 million ($37 million of which relates to the Beijing Foton guarantee discussed below and $21 million relates to the Cummins Olayan Energy Limited guarantee discussed below).

We have arrangements with certain suppliers that require us to purchase minimum volumes or be subject to monetary penalties. The penalty amounts are less than our purchase commitments and essentially allow the supplier to recover their tooling costs in most instances. As of September 25, 2011, if we were to stop purchasing from each of these suppliers, the amount of the penalty would be approximately $55 million, of which $49 million relates to a contract with an engine parts supplier that extends to 2013. This arrangement enables us to secure critical components. We do not currently anticipate paying any penalties under these contracts.

In July 2008, Beijing Foton Cummins Engine Company, a 50 percent owned entity accounted for under the equity method, entered into a line of credit agreement with a borrowing capacity of up to $188 million (at current exchange rates). The line will be used primarily to fund equipment purchases for a new manufacturing plant. As a part of this transaction, we guaranteed 50 percent of any outstanding borrowings up to a maximum guarantee of $94 million (at current exchange rates). As of September 25, 2011, outstanding borrowings under this agreement were $73 million and our guarantee was $37 million (at current exchange rates). We recorded a liability for the fair value of this guarantee. The amount of the liability was less than $1 million. The offset to this liability was an increase in our investment in the joint venture.

In February 2010, Cummins Olayan Energy Limited, a 49 percent owned entity accounted for under the equity method, executed a four-year $101 million (at current exchange rates) debt financing arrangement to acquire certain rental equipment assets. As a part of this transaction, we guaranteed 49 percent of the total outstanding loan amount or $50 million (at current exchange rates). As of September 25, 2011, outstanding borrowings under this agreement were $43 million and our guarantee was $21 million (at current exchange rates). We recorded a liability for the fair value of this guarantee. The amount of the liability was less than $1 million. The offset to this liability was an increase in our investment in the joint venture.

We have guarantees with certain customers that require us to satisfactorily honor contractual or regulatory obligations, or compensate for monetary losses related to nonperformance. These performance bonds and other performance-related guarantees at September 25, 2011, were $78 million.

Indemnifications

Periodically, we enter into various contractual arrangements where we agree to indemnify a third-party against certain types of losses. Common types of indemnifications include:

· product liability and license, patent or trademark indemnifications,

· asset sale agreements where we agree to indemnify the purchaser against future environmental exposures related to the asset sold and

· any contractual agreement where we agree to indemnify the counter-party for losses suffered as a result of a misrepresentation in the contract.

Table of Contents

We regularly evaluate the probability of having to incur costs associated with these indemnifications and accrue for expected losses that are probable. Because the indemnifications are not related to specified known liabilities and due to their uncertain nature, we are unable to estimate the maximum amount of the potential loss associated with these indemnifications.

Joint Venture Commitments

As of September 25, 2011, we have committed to invest an additional $122 million into existing joint ventures of which $83 million is expected to be funded in 2011.

Sale and Leaseback Transaction Amendment and Extension

During 2001, we entered into a sale-leaseback transaction with a financial institution with regard to certain heavy-duty engine manufacturing equipment. The lease was classified as an operating lease with a lease term of 11.5 years, expiring June 28, 2013. The financial institution created a grantor trust to act as the lessor in the arrangement. The financial institution owned all of the equity in the trust. The grantor trust had no assets other than the equipment and its rights to the lease agreement with us. The terms of the agreement contained a guarantee of the residual value of the equipment and in December 2003, the grantor trust which acts as the lessor in the sale and leaseback transaction described above was consolidated as a result of the adoption of new accounting standards for variable interest entities, due primarily to the existence of the residual value guarantee.

In February 2009, we amended the lease agreement to extend the lease for an additional two years to June 2015 and we removed the residual value guarantee. As a result of removing the residual value guarantee, we were no longer required to consolidate the grantor trust and we deconsolidated the trust in the first quarter of 2009. With the deconsolidation, we were required to account for the leasing arrangement with the trust which qualified as a capital lease. The deconsolidation of the trust had minimal impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements as the present value of the minimum lease payments (including the extension) approximated the amount that was reported as noncontrolling interest as of the date of the amendment. The reduction in noncontrolling interests and increase in our capital lease liabilities was $35 million.

In September 2011, we reached an agreement to purchase these assets from the lessor for approximately $48 million. The amount exceeded the existing capital lease obligation by approximately $14 million. This excess was recorded as an increase to the book value of those assets and is being depreciated over the estimated remaining useful life of approximately 10 years.

NOTE 14. DERIVATIVES

We are exposed to financial risk resulting from volatility in foreign exchange rates, commodity prices and interest rates. This risk is closely monitored and managed through the use of financial derivative instruments including foreign currency forward contracts, commodity swap contracts and interest rate swaps. As stated in our policies and procedures, financial derivatives are used expressly for hedging purposes, and under no circumstances are they used for speculative purposes. When material, we adjust the value of our derivative contracts for counter-party or our credit risk. The results and status of our hedging transactions are reported to senior management on a monthly and quarterly basis.

Foreign Exchange Rates

As a result of our international business presence, we are exposed to foreign currency exchange risks. We transact business in foreign currencies and, as a result, our income experiences some volatility related to movements in foreign currency exchange rates. To help manage our exposure to exchange rate volatility, we use foreign exchange forward contracts on a regular basis to hedge forecasted intercompany and third-party sales and purchases denominated in non-functional currencies. Our internal policy allows for managing anticipated foreign currency cash flows for up to one year. These foreign currency forward contracts are designated and qualify as foreign currency cash flow hedges under GAAP. The effective portion of the unrealized gain or loss on the forward contract is deferred and reported as a component of “accumulated other comprehensive loss” (AOCL). When the hedged forecasted transaction (sale or purchase) occurs, the unrealized gain or loss is reclassified into income in the same line item associated with the hedged transaction in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects income. The ineffective portion of the hedge, unrealized gain or loss, if any, is recognized in current income during the period of change. As of September 25, 2011, the amount we expect to reclassify from AOCL to income over the next year is an unrealized net loss of $7 million. For the nine month periods ended September 25, 2011 and September 26, 2010, there were no circumstances that would have resulted in the discontinuance of a foreign currency cash flow hedge.

To minimize the income volatility resulting from the remeasurement of net monetary assets and payables denominated in a currency other than the functional currency, we enter into foreign currency forward contracts, which are considered economic hedges. The objective is to offset the gain or loss from remeasurement with the gain or loss from the fair market valuation of the forward contract. These derivative instruments are not designated as hedges under GAAP.

Table of Contents

The table below summarizes our outstanding foreign currency forward contracts. Only the U.S. dollar forward contracts are designated and qualify for hedge accounting as of each period presented below. The currencies in this table represent 97 percent of the notional amounts of contracts outstanding as of September 25, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

Commodity Price Risk

We are exposed to fluctuations in commodity prices due to contractual agreements with component suppliers. In order to protect ourselves against future price volatility and, consequently, fluctuations in gross margins, we periodically enter into commodity swap contracts with designated banks to fix the cost of certain raw material purchases with the objective of minimizing changes in inventory cost due to market price fluctuations. The swap contracts are derivative contracts that are designated as cash flow hedges under GAAP. The effective portion of the unrealized gain or loss is deferred and reported as a component of AOCL. When the hedged forecasted transaction (purchase) occurs, the unrealized gain or loss is reclassified into income in the same line item associated with the hedged transaction in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects income. The ineffective portion of the hedge, if any, is recognized in current income in the period in which the ineffectiveness occurs. As of September 25, 2011, we expect to reclassify an unrealized net loss of $9 million from AOCL to income over the next year. For the nine month periods ended September 25, 2011 and September 26, 2010, there were no material circumstances that would have resulted in the discontinuance of a cash flow hedge. Our internal policy allows for managing these cash flow hedges for up to three years.

The following table summarizes our outstanding commodity swap contracts that were entered into to hedge the cost of certain raw material purchases:

Palladium	5		6,509 troy ounces(2)	1		1,763 troy ounces(2)

(1)A metric ton is a measurement of mass equal to 1,000 kilograms.

(2)A troy ounce is a measurement of mass equal to approximately 31 grams.

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to market risk from fluctuations in interest rates. We manage our exposure to interest rate fluctuations through the use of interest rate swaps. The objective of the swaps is to more effectively balance our borrowing costs and interest rate risk.

In November 2005, we entered into an interest rate swap to effectively convert our $250 million debt issue, due in 2028, from a fixed rate of 7.125% to a floating rate based on a LIBOR spread. The terms of the swap mirror those of the debt, with interest paid semi-annually. This swap qualifies as a fair value hedge under GAAP. The gain or loss on this derivative instrument as well as the offsetting gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in current income as “Interest expense.” The following table summarizes these gains and losses for the three and nine month interim reporting periods presented below:

NOTE 15. OPERATING SEGMENTS

Operating segments under GAAP are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision-maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Cummins chief operating decision-maker (CODM) is the Chief Executive Officer.

Our reportable operating segments consist of the following: Engine, Power Generation, Components and Distribution. This reporting structure is organized according to the products and markets each segment serves and allows management to focus its efforts on providing enhanced service to a wide range of customers. The Engine segment produces engines and parts for sale to customers in on-highway and various industrial markets. The engines are used in trucks of all sizes, buses and recreational vehicles, as well as various industrial applications including construction, mining, agriculture, marine, oil and gas, rail and military. The Power Generation segment is an integrated provider of power systems which sells engines, generator sets and alternators. The Components segment sells filtration products, exhaust aftertreatment systems, turbochargers and fuel systems. The Distribution segment includes wholly-owned and partially-owned distributorships engaged in wholesaling engines, generator sets and service parts, as well as performing service and repair activities on our products and maintaining relationships with various OEMs throughout the world.

We use segment EBIT (defined as earnings before interest expense, taxes and noncontrolling interests) as a primary basis for the CODM to evaluate the performance of each of our operating segments. Segment amounts exclude certain expenses not specifically identifiable to segments.

The accounting policies of our operating segments are the same as those applied in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. We prepared the financial results of our operating segments on a basis that is consistent with the manner in which we internally disaggregate financial information to assist in making internal operating decisions. We have allocated certain common costs and expenses, primarily corporate functions, among segments differently than we would for stand-alone financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. These include certain costs and expenses of shared services, such as information technology, human resources, legal and finance. We also do not allocate debt-related items, actuarial gains or losses, prior services costs or credits, changes in cash surrender value of corporate owned life insurance or income taxes to individual segments. Segment EBIT may not be consistent with measures used by other companies.

(1) Includes intersegment sales and profit in inventory eliminations and unallocated corporate expenses. The nine months ended September 25, 2011, include a $68 million gain ($37 million after-tax) related to the sale of our exhaust business from the Components segment. The gain has been excluded from segment results as it was not considered by management in its evaluation of operating results for the nine months ended September 25, 2011. For the three and nine months ended September 26, 2010, unallocated corporate expenses included $32 million of Brazil tax recoveries ($21 million after-tax) and $2 million in flood damage expenses. In the third quarter of 2010, it was determined that we overpaid a Brazilian revenue based tax during 2004-2008. Our 2010 results include a pre-tax recovery related to tax credits on imported products arising from this overpayment. The recovery has been excluded from segment results as it was not considered by management it its evaluation of operating results for the quarter. There were no other significant unallocated corporate expenses for the three and nine months ended September 25, 2011 and September 26, 2010.

(2) Depreciation and amortization as shown on a segment basis excludes the amortization of debt discount that is included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income as “Interest expense.”

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AND FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

We are a global power leader that designs, manufactures, distributes and services diesel and natural gas engines, electric power generation systems and engine-related component products, including filtration, exhaust aftertreatment, fuel systems, controls and air handling systems. We sell our products to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), distributors and other customers worldwide. We have long-standing relationships with many of the leading manufacturers in the markets we serve, including PACCAR Inc., Chrysler Group, LLC, Daimler Trucks North America, MAN Nutzfahrzeuge AG, Ford Motor Company, Komatsu and Volvo AB. We serve our customers through a network of more than 600 company-owned and independent distributor locations and approximately 6,000 dealer locations in more than 190 countries and territories.

Our financial performance depends, in large part, on varying conditions in the markets we serve, particularly the on-highway, construction and general industrial markets. Demand in these markets tends to fluctuate in response to overall economic conditions and is particularly sensitive to changes in interest rate levels and our customers’ access to credit. Our sales may also be impacted by OEM inventory levels and production schedules and stoppages. Economic downturns in markets we serve generally result in reductions in sales and pricing of our products. As a worldwide business, our operations are also affected by political, economic and regulatory matters, including environmental and emissions standards, in the countries we serve. At the same time, our geographic diversity and broad product and service offerings have helped limit the impact from a drop in demand in any one industry or customer and the economy of any single country on our consolidated results.

In the first nine months of 2011, emerging markets experienced strong growth, especially in China, India and Brazil, although the growth rates began to soften in the third quarter, especially in on-highway truck and off-highway construction markets in China and power generation markets in India. Growth rates are slowing in certain emerging markets like China and India as governments look to control inflation through tight monetary policy in the form of rising interest rates and tightening access to credit. Strong demand continued in the Brazilian markets through the third quarter, partially driven by a pre-buy in the medium-duty truck markets ahead of the 2012 emissions change. Certain developed markets continued experiencing more robust recoveries, including the North American on-highway markets. The North American on-highway market has demonstrated signs of strong recovery, coupled with the depletion of transition engine inventory purchased in 2009 in advance of the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) 2010 emissions change. Demand for heavy-duty on-highway products in North America was three times higher in the first nine months of 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010. In addition, medium-duty truck and bus shipments in North America were almost three times higher in the first nine months of 2011 compared to the prior period in 2010.

We expect demand in the fourth quarter of 2011 to remain strong in the North American on-highway markets. Emerging markets may continue to soften in the on-highway truck and off-highway construction markets in China and power generation markets in India as both countries continue to rein in inflation.

Net income attributable to Cummins was $452 million, or $2.35 per diluted share, on sales of $4.6 billion for the three month interim reporting period ended September 25, 2011, versus the comparable prior year period with net income attributable to Cummins of $283 million, or $1.44 per diluted share, on sales of $3.4 billion. The increase in income was driven by the recovery of the North American on-highway markets, stronger demand in certain emerging and domestic markets, significantly improved gross margins, increased equity income and a lower effective tax rate. These were partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses and research, development and engineering expenses.

Net income attributable to Cummins was $ 1.3 billion, or $6.69 per diluted share, on sales of $13.1 billion for the nine month interim reporting period ended September 25, 2011, versus the comparable prior year period with net income attributable to Cummins of $678 million, or $3.43 per diluted share, on sales of $9.1 billion. The increase in income was driven by the recovery of the North American on-highway markets, stronger demand in emerging and domestic markets, significantly improved gross margins, gain on sale of a business, increased equity income and a lower effective tax rate. These were partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses and research, development and engineering expenses. We recorded a gain on the sale of our exhaust business of $68 million ($37 million after tax). For a detailed discussion of the sale, see Note 4, “DIVESTITURES AND ACQUISITIONS,” to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

We generated $ 1.4 billion of operating cash flows for the nine months ended September 25, 2011, compared to $619 million for the nine months ended September 26, 2010. Refer to the section titled “Operating Activities” in the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section for a discussion of items impacting cash flows. In December 2007, Cummins Board of Directors authorized the acquisition of up to $500 million of our common stock. In the first quarter of 2011, we completed this stock repurchase program. In February 2011, the Board of Directors authorized the acquisition of up to $1 billion of our common stock. We repurchased $546 million in the first nine months of 2011, of which $435 million pertains to the 2011 repurchase program. Our debt to capital ratio (total capital defined as debt plus equity) at September 25, 2011, was 12.6 percent, compared to 14.4 percent at December 31, 2010. In September 2011, Standard & Poor’s upgraded our credit rating to ‘A’ and changed our outlook to stable. In addition to the $1.4 billion in cash and marketable securities on hand, we have sufficient access to our revolver and accounts receivable program to meet currently anticipated growth and funding needs.

In July 2011, the Board of Directors increased the quarterly dividend on our common stock from $0.2625 per share to $0.40.

Table of Contents

We have a pending divestiture in the Components segment expected to generate a pre-tax gain of $45 million to $50 million, which is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2011. In October 2011, we received a $40 million insurance settlement for flood damage related to a June 2008 flood in Southern Indiana, which will be recognized in our fourth quarter results. For additional information, see Note 16, “SUBSEQUENT EVENT,” to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Finally, our current assessment of the income tax rate indicates an expected 2011 effective tax rate of approximately 29.5 percent, absent any discrete period activity.

Our worldwide pension plans were 96 percent funded at December 31, 2010. The United States (U.S.) qualified plan, which is approximately 62 percent of the worldwide pension obligation, was 99 percent funded, the non-qualified plans were not funded and the United Kingdom (U.K.) plan was 107 percent funded. We anticipate making total contributions of at least $130 million to our pension plans in 2011.

OUTLOOK

Near-Term:

In the first nine months of 2011, economies in emerging markets, including China, India and Brazil, experienced strong growth although the growth rates began to soften in the third quarter, especially in on-highway truck and off-highway construction markets in China and power generation markets in India. Certain developed markets began experiencing more robust recoveries, including the North American on-highway truck markets.

We expect the following positive trends in the remainder of 2011:

· The North American on-highway truck markets are expected to continue their robust recovery.

· Global oil and gas and mining markets are expected to remain strong.

· We expect demand in most markets to remain strong through the end of 2011.

We expect the following challenges to our business that will put pressure on earnings in 2011:

· In emerging markets, demand growth in certain industrial and power generation markets could slow or decline, including the on-highway truck and off-highway construction markets in China and the power generation markets in India.

· Markets in India could be negatively impacted if the government continues to raise interest rates to control inflation.

· We will increase our investment in new product development.

· Our joint ventures should experience slower growth as we invest in capacity.

· Increasing commodity costs could continue to put downward pressure on earnings.

Long-Term:

We are confident that opportunities for long-term profitable growth will continue in the future.

Net Sales

Net sales for the three and nine month periods ended September 25, 2011, increased in all segments versus the comparable periods in 2010, primarily due to increased demand from most markets including recovery of the North American on-highway markets. The primary drivers for the increase in sales were:

· Engine segment sales increased by 43 percent and 53 percent for the three and nine months ended, respectively, due to increased demand in all lines of business led by increases in heavy-duty truck, industrial and medium-duty truck and bus sales.

· Components segment sales increased by 32 percent and 40 percent for the three and nine months ended, respectively, due to increased demand in all lines of business led by emission solutions and turbo technologies businesses.

· Distribution segment sales increased by 37 percent and 36 percent for the three and nine months ended, respectively, due to increased sales in all product lines and all geographic regions led by Asia Pacific, North and Central America, Europe and Middle East regions.

· Power Generation segment sales increased by 10 percent and 28 percent for the three and nine months ended, respectively, primarily due to increased demand in the commercial products and generator technologies businesses and improved price realization.

A more detailed discussion of sales by segment is presented in the “OPERATING SEGMENT RESULTS” section.

Sales to international markets based on location of customers for the three and nine month periods ended September 25, 2011, were 60 percent and 61 percent of total net sales, respectively, compared with 63 percent and 64 percent of total net sales, respectively, for the comparable periods in 2010.

Gross Margin

Gross margin increased for the three and nine month periods ended September 25, 2011, versus the comparable periods in 2010, and increased as a percentage of sales by 1.3 percentage points and 1.5 percentage points, respectively. The increase for the three and nine month periods ended September 25, 2011, was led by increases in volume and price. Gross margin for the nine months ended was unfavorably impacted by higher base warranty costs due to increased volumes and increasing mix of EPA 2010 products. The three and nine month periods ended September 26, 2010, also benefited from a one-time $32 million tax recovery in Brazil. See Note 12, “COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES,” to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

The provision for warranties issued as a percent of sales for the three and nine month periods ended were 1.9 percent and 2.3 percent in 2011 compared to 2.8 percent for both of the comparable periods in 2010. Accrual rates for engines sold this quarter were generally lower than the rates charged in prior quarters as our warranty costs for EPA 2010 products have been lower than expected. A more detailed discussion of margin by segment is presented in the “OPERATING SEGMENT RESULTS” section.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three and nine month periods ended September 25, 2011, increased versus the comparable periods in 2010, primarily due to an increase of $61 million and $158 million, respectively, in compensation and related expenses including increased headcount to support our growing businesses, merit increases and increased discretionary spending. Compensation and related expenses include salaries, fringe benefits and variable compensation.

Research, Development and Engineering Expenses

Research, development and engineering expenses for the three and nine month periods ended September 25, 2011, increased versus the comparable periods in 2010, primarily due to an increase of $22 million and $67 million, respectively, in compensation and related expenses, an increase in the number of engineering programs with increased costs of $22 million and $64 million, respectively, and increased discretionary spending. Compensation and related expenses include salaries, fringe benefits and variable compensation. Research activities continue to focus on development of new products to meet future emission standards around the world and improvements in fuel economy performance.

Equity, Royalty and Interest Income From Investees

Equity, royalty and interest income from investees for the three and nine month periods ended September 25, 2011, increased versus the comparable periods in 2010, primarily due to the following:

	Increase/(Decrease)
	September 25, 2011 vs. September 26, 2010
In millions	Three months ended			Nine months ended
North American distributors	$	9		$	28
Chongqing Cummins Engine Company, Ltd.	8			16
Beijing Foton Cummins Engine Co., Ltd.	4			7
Dongfeng Cummins Engine Company, Ltd.	(9		)	(12		)
Other	2			15
Total	$	14		$	54

These overall increases were primarily due to the economic recovery in North America, particularly in the oil and gas markets, and strong demand for power generation and mining products in China with Chongqing Cummins Engine Company, Ltd. engines, which was partially offset by lower sales at Dongfeng Cummins Engine Company, Ltd. due to weaker demand in the on-highway truck market.

Income Tax Expense

Our effective tax rate for the year is expected to approximate 29.5 percent, absent any discrete period activity. Our tax rate is generally less than the 35 percent U.S. income tax rate primarily due to lower tax rates on foreign income and research tax credits. The tax rates for the three and nine month periods ended September 25, 2011, were 25.0 percent and 28.2 percent, respectively. The tax rate for the three and nine month periods ended September 25, 2011, includes a net discrete income tax benefit of $29 million (net of additional reserves for uncertain tax positions of $39 million) related to prior year refund claims filed for additional research tax credits, additional foreign income and foreign tax credits, as well as other adjustments. This benefit also includes discrete income tax charges of $2 million for prior year tax return true-up adjustments and $3 million related to the third quarter enactment of U.K. tax law changes in the three and nine month periods ended September 25, 2011. Additionally, the tax rate for the nine month period includes a second quarter discrete income tax charge of $4 million related to the enactment of state tax law changes in Indiana.

Noncontrolling Interests

Noncontrolling interests eliminate the income or loss attributable to non-Cummins ownership interests in our consolidated entities. Noncontrolling interests in income of consolidated subsidiaries for the three month period ended September 25, 2011, decreased versus the comparable period in 2010, primarily due to lower income at Cummins India Ltd. (CIL), a publicly traded company on various exchanges in India and Wuxi Cummins Turbo Technologies Co. Ltd. (Wuxi). Noncontrolling interests in income of consolidated subsidiaries for the nine month period ended September 25, 2011, increased versus the comparable period in 2010, primarily due to higher income at CIL and Wuxi.

Net Income Attributable to Cummins Inc. and Diluted Earnings Per Share Attributable to Cummins Inc.

Net income and diluted earnings per share attributable to Cummins Inc. for the three and nine month periods ended September 25, 2011, increased versus the comparable periods in 2010, primarily due to higher volumes in most markets and geographic regions, including the recovery of the North American on-highway markets, significantly improved gross margins, the gain on sale of the exhaust business, increased equity income and lower effective tax rates. These were partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses and research, development and engineering expenses. Diluted earnings per share benefited $0.02 per share and $0.09 per share for the three and nine month periods ended September 25, 2011, respectively, from lower shares primarily due to the stock repurchase program.

OPERATING SEGMENT RESULTS

Our operating segments consist of the following: Engine, Power Generation, Components and Distribution. This reporting structure is organized according to the products and markets each segment serves. We use segment EBIT (defined as earnings before interest expense, income taxes and noncontrolling interests) as the primary basis for the chief operating decision-maker to evaluate the performance of each operating segment.

Following is a discussion of operating results for each of our business segments.

Sales

Engine segment sales for the three month period ended September 25, 2011, increased in all businesses versus the comparable period in 2010, as demand improved in most markets primarily due to a significant rebound in North American on-highway markets as well as stronger demand in certain emerging markets. The following are the primary drivers by market:

· Heavy-duty truck engine sales increased due to recovery in North American on-highway markets as OEM customers replace their aging fleets.

· Industrial market sales increased primarily due to a 31 percent improvement in international construction engine shipments driven by the economic recovery and infrastructure improvements in certain emerging markets, increased demand in advance of off-highway emission regulations in the U.S. and Europe, a 71 percent increase in units sold in the international mining engine markets due to increased coal and commodity demands and more than double the number of oil and gas engine shipments in North America.

· Medium-duty truck and bus sales increased primarily due to the recovery in North American on-highway markets and higher demand in the Brazilian truck engine market driven by a growing economy, government incentives and the pre-buy in advance of a January 2012 emissions change.

· Foreign currency fluctuations also favorably impacted sales.

Total on-highway-related sales for the three month period ended September 25, 2011, were 56 percent of total engine segment sales, compared to 51 percent for the comparable period in 2010.

Engine segment sales for the nine month period ended September 25, 2011, increased in all businesses versus the comparable period in 2010, as demand improved in most markets primarily due to a significant rebound in North American on-highway markets as well as stronger demand in certain emerging markets. The following are the primary drivers by market:

· Heavy-duty truck engine sales increased due to recovery in North American on-highway markets as OEM customers replace their aging fleets and the depletion of transition engine inventory purchased in 2009 in advance of the EPA’s 2010 emission standard changes.

· Industrial market sales increased primarily due to a 47 percent improvement in international construction engine shipments driven by the economic recovery and infrastructure improvements in certain emerging markets, increased demand in advance of off-highway emission regulations in the U.S. and Europe, a 64 percent increase in the units sold in the international mining engine markets due to increased coal and commodity demands and more than triple the number of oil and gas engine shipments in North America.

· Medium-duty truck and bus sales increased primarily due to higher demand in the Brazilian truck engine market driven by a growing economy and government incentives, the recovery in North American on-highway markets and the depletion of transition engine inventory purchased in 2009 in advance of the EPA’s 2010 emissions change.

· Foreign currency fluctuations also favorably impacted sales.

Total on-highway-related sales for the nine month period ended September 25, 2011, were 55 percent of total engine segment sales, compared to 51 percent for the comparable period in 2010.

The increase in gross margin for the three and nine month periods ended September 25, 2011, was due to improved price realization and higher volumes, which was partially offset by increased commodity and material costs. The increases in selling, general and administrative expenses and research, development and engineering expenses were primarily due to increased headcount to support our growth initiatives.

Sales

Components segment sales for the three month period ended September 25, 2011, increased in all businesses versus the comparable period in 2010. The following are the primary drivers by business:

· Emission solutions business sales increased due to higher volumes for North American EPA 2010 aftertreatment systems, which was partially offset by lower sales due to the sale of the exhaust business.

· Turbo technologies business sales increased due to higher OEM demand in North America, Europe and India and improved aftermarket demand, which was partially offset by a decline in OEM sales in China.

· Filtration business sales increased due to favorable foreign currency impacts, higher OEM demand due to the economic recovery in North American on-highway markets and improved aftermarket demand, especially in Asia Pacific and Asia.

· Fuel systems business sales increased primarily due to improved demand in North American on-highway markets.

Components segment sales for the nine month period ended September 25, 2011, increased in all businesses versus the comparable period in 2010. The following are the primary regional drivers by business:

· Emission solutions business sales increased due to higher volume and technology content in North American EPA 2010 aftertreatment systems and increased demand for Euro V aftertreatment systems in Europe, which was partially offset by lower sales due to the sale of the exhaust business.

· Turbo technologies business sales increased due to higher OEM demand in North America, Europe and India and improved aftermarket demand.

· Filtration business sales increased due to higher OEM demand due to the economic recovery in North American on-highway markets, favorable foreign currency impacts and improved aftermarket demand, especially in Asia Pacific, Europe and Asia.

Segment EBIT

Components segment EBIT for the three and nine month periods ended September 25, 2011, increased versus the comparable periods in 2010, primarily due to the improved gross margin which was partially offset by increased research, development and engineering expenses and higher selling, general and administrative expenses. Changes in Components segment EBIT and EBIT as a percentage of sales were as follows:

	Three months ended							Nine months ended
	September 25, 2011 vs. September 26, 2010							September 25, 2011 vs. September 26, 2010

Equity, royalty and interest income from investees	1			17	%	(0.1	)	7			41	%	—

The increase in gross margin for the three month period ended September 25, 2011, was primarily due to higher volumes for all businesses. The increases in research, development and engineering expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses were primarily due to new product development spending and increased headcount to support our growing business.

The increase in gross margin for the nine month period ended September 25, 2011, was primarily due to higher volumes for all businesses and increased product content on 2010 North American truck engines. The increases in research, development and engineering expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses were primarily due to new product development spending and increased headcount to support our growing business.

In the second quarter of 2011 we sold certain assets and liabilities of our exhaust business and recognized a $68 million pre-tax gain on the sale. The gain has been excluded from Components results as it was not considered by management in its evaluation of Components operating results for the nine months ended September 25, 2011.

Sales

Distribution segment sales for the three month period ended September 25, 2011, increased for all product lines versus the comparable period in 2010. The following were the primary drivers by line of business:

· Power generation product sales increased primarily due to improved project-based business across the South Pacific, Africa and North and Central America, increased demand from Japan’s earthquake recovery and the acquisition of a previously independent distributor in the fourth quarter of 2010.

· Parts and filtration product sales increased primarily due to higher industry demand in North and Central America, the acquisition of a previously independent distributor in the fourth quarter of 2010 and higher demand from mining customers in the South Pacific.

· Engine product sales increased primarily due to growth in the oil and gas markets in North and Central America, improved demand in certain markets in Europe and higher demand in Africa.

· Foreign currency fluctuations also favorably impacted sales.

· Service revenue increased primarily due to stronger sales from mining customers in the South Pacific.

Distribution segment sales for the nine month period ended September 25, 2011, increased for all product lines versus the comparable period in 2010. The following were the primary drivers by line of business:

· Engine product sales increased primarily due to growth in the oil and gas markets in North and Central America, improved demand in certain markets in Europe and higher demand in Africa.

· Power generation product sales increased primarily due to improved project-based business across the South Pacific, Middle East, North and Central America and Europe, increased demand from Japan’s earthquake recovery and the acquisition of a previously independent distributor in the fourth quarter of 2010.

· Parts and filtration product sales increased primarily due to the acquisition of a previously independent distributor in the fourth quarter of 2010, higher demand in North and Central America, improved sales in East Asia and increased demand driven by economic recovery in Europe.

· Foreign currency fluctuations also favorably impacted sales.

· Service revenue increased primarily due to stronger sales from mining customers in the South Pacific.

Segment EBIT

Distribution segment EBIT for the three and nine month periods ended September 25, 2011, increased versus the comparable period in 2010, primarily due to improved gross margin and equity, royalty and interest income from investees, which was partially offset by increased selling, general and administrative expenses. Segment EBIT for the nine month period was also unfavorably impacted by the absence of a one-time gain of $12 million from the acquisition of Cummins Western Canada in the first quarter of 2010.

Changes in Distribution segment EBIT and EBIT as a percentage of sales were as follows:

	Three months ended							Nine months ended
	September 25, 2011 vs. September 26, 2010							September 25, 2011 vs. September 26, 2010

Selling, general and administrative expenses	(33		)	(36	)%	0.1		(86		)	(33	)%	0.3

The increase in gross margin for the three and nine month periods ended September 25, 2011, versus the comparable period in 2010, was primarily due to higher volumes in most products, favorable foreign currency impacts and the acquisition of a previously independent distributor in the fourth quarter of 2010. The increase in equity, royalty and interest income from investees was primarily due to higher income from North American distributors, especially in the oil and gas markets, and increased parts sales. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was mainly due to higher head count to support our growing business and unfavorable foreign currency impacts.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Management’s Assessment of Liquidity

Our financial condition and liquidity remain strong. Our solid balance sheet and credit ratings enable us to continue to have ready access to credit.

We assess our liquidity in terms of our ability to generate adequate cash to fund our operating, investing and financing activities. We generate significant ongoing cash flow, which has been used, in part, to fund repurchases of common stock, capital expenditures and pay dividends on our common stock. Our cash flow from operations in 2011 has more than doubled 2010 cash flow from operations through the first nine months. Cash provided by operations is our principal source of liquidity. As of September 25, 2011, other sources of liquidity include:

· cash and cash equivalents of $ 1.2 billion, of which approximately 20 percent is located in the United States and 80 percent is located in the U.K., China, Singapore, Brazil and India,

· marketable securities of $ 273 million, which are located primarily in India and Brazil,

· $1.2 billion available under our revolving credit facility,

· $ 271 million available under international and other domestic credit facilities and

· $ 187 million, based on eligible receivables, available under our accounts receivable sales program.

We believe our liquidity provides us with the financial flexibility needed to fund working capital, capital expenditures, projected pension obligations, dividend payments, common stock repurchases and debt service obligations.

A significant portion of our cash flows is generated outside the U.S. As of September 25, 2011, the total of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities held by foreign subsidiaries was $1.2 billion, the vast majority of which was located in the U.K., China, India, Brazil and Singapore. The geographic location of our cash and marketable securities aligns well with our business growth strategy. We manage our worldwide cash requirements considering available funds among the many subsidiaries through which we conduct our business and the cost effectiveness with which those funds can be accessed. As a result, we do not anticipate any local liquidity restrictions to preclude us from funding our expansion or operating needs with local resources. If these funds were repatriated to the U.S. we could be required to accrue and pay U.S. taxes. At present we do not foresee a need to repatriate any earnings in the near future. However, we have and will continue to transfer cash from these subsidiaries to us and to other international subsidiaries when it is cost effective to do so.

We continuously monitor our pension assets and believe that we have limited exposure to the European debt crisis. No sovereign debt instruments of crisis countries are held in the trusts, while any equities are held with large well-diversified multinational firms or are de minimis amounts in large index funds. In addition, we rebalanced our asset portfolios in the U.S. and the U.K. in 2010 with equities representing a smaller segment of the total portfolios and we continue to rebalance as necessary to maintain our target range. Our pension plans have not experienced any significant impact on liquidity or counterparty exposure due to the volatility in the credit markets.

Working Capital Summary

We fund our working capital with cash from operations and short-term borrowings when necessary. Various assets and liabilities, including short-term debt, can fluctuate significantly from month to month depending on short-term liquidity needs. As a result, working capital is a prime focus of management attention.

Current assets increased compared to December 31, 2010, primarily due to an increase in accounts receivable due to higher sales and an increase in inventory levels to meet anticipated demand.

Current liabilities increased compared to December 31, 2010, primarily due to higher accounts and loans payable and other accrued expenses, which was the result of increased purchasing requirements to support higher sales volume in the businesses.

Cash Flows

Cash and cash equivalents increased $ 142 million during the nine month period ended September 25, 2011, compared to a $7 million increase in cash and cash equivalents during the comparable period in 2010. The change in cash and cash equivalents was as follows:

Table of Contents

Net cash provided by operating activities increased for the nine months ended September 25, 2011, versus the comparable period in 2010, primarily due to significantly higher consolidated net income, excluding the gain on the sale of business, higher dividends from equity investees, higher deferred income taxes and lower pension contributions. These benefits were partially offset by higher working capital requirements. During the first nine months of 2011, the net increase in working capital resulted in a cash outflow of $351 million compared to a cash outflow of $300 million during the first nine months of 2010. This increase of $51 million was primarily driven by the higher working capital requirements associated with increased sales volumes.

Pensions

The funded status of our pension plans is dependent upon a variety of variables and assumptions including return on invested assets, market interest rates and levels of voluntary contributions to the plans. In the third quarter of 2011, financial markets in Europe declined significantly, reversing the prior quarters’ gains in our U.K. trust investments; while the U.S. trust’s liability driven fixed income investments were able to maintain the return trends from the first half of the year into the third quarter. As a result, for the nine months ended September 25, 2011, the return for our U.S. plan was 7.5 percent while our U.K. plan return was approximately negative 2.5 percent. Approximately 94 percent of our pension plan assets are invested in highly liquid investments such as equity and fixed income securities. The remaining six percent of our plan assets are invested in less liquid, but market valued investments, including real estate and private equity. We made $122 million of pension contributions in the nine months ended September 25, 2011, and we anticipate making total contributions of at least $130 million to our defined benefit pension plans in 2011. Expected contributions to our defined benefit pension plans in 2011 will meet or exceed the current funding requirements. Claims and premiums for other postretirement benefits are expected to approximate $39 million, net of reimbursements, in 2011. The $122 million of pension contributions in the nine months ended September 25, 2011, included voluntary contributions of $106 million. These contributions and payments include payments from our funds either to increase pension plan assets or to make direct payments to participants.

Net cash used in investing activities decreased for the nine months ended September 25, 2011, versus the comparable period in 2010, primarily due to increased liquidations and decreased acquisitions of marketable securities, proceeds received from the sale of the exhaust business during the second quarter (See Note 4, “DIVESTITURES AND ACQUISITIONS” to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements), decreased other investment activity and the acquisition of CWC in 2010. These were partially offset by increased capital expenditures, additional investments and advances to equity investees, and lower proceeds from dispositions of property, plant and equipment.

Capital expenditures for the nine month period ended September 25, 2011, were $ 377 million compared to $ 170 million in the comparable period in 2010. We expect capital expenditures to accelerate in the remainder of 2011. We continue to invest in the development of new products and we plan to spend approximately $600 million to $650 million in 2011. More than one half of our capital expenditures will be invested outside of the U.S.

Net cash used in financing activities increased for the nine months ended September 25, 2011, versus the comparable period in 2010, primarily due to higher repurchases of common stock, increased payments on borrowings and capital lease obligations and decreased proceeds from borrowings.

Our total debt was $801 million as of September 25, 2011, compared with $843 million as of December 31, 2010. Total debt as a percent of our total capital, including total long-term debt, was 12.6 percent at September 25, 2011, compared with 14.4 percent at December 31, 2010.

In July 2011, the Board of Directors increased the quarterly dividend on our common stock from $0.2625 per share to $0.40.

In December 2007, the Board of Directors authorized the acquisition of up to $500 million of Cummins common stock. In February 2011, we purchased $111 million of our common stock and completed the $500 million repurchase program.

In February 2011, the Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase program and authorized the acquisition of up to $1 billion of Cummins common stock upon completion of the $500 million program. In 2011, we made the following quarterly purchases under these plans:

Credit Ratings

A number of our contractual obligations and financing agreements, such as our revolving credit facility have restrictive covenants and/or pricing modifications that may be triggered in the event of downward revisions to our corporate credit rating. There were no downgrades of our credit ratings in the third quarter of 2011 that have impacted these covenants or pricing modifications. In September 2011, Standard & Poor’s upgraded our credit rating to ‘A’ and changed our outlook to stable. In June 2011, Fitch upgraded our ratings and changed our outlook to stable.

Table of Contents

Credit ratings are not recommendations to buy, are subject to change and each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating. In addition, we undertake no obligation to update disclosures concerning our credit ratings, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Our ratings and outlook from each of the credit rating agencies as of the date of filing are shown in the table below.

Credit Rating Agency	Senior L-T Debt Rating	Outlook
Moody’s Investors Service, Inc.	Baa2	Stable
Standard & Poor’s	A	Stable
Fitch	A-	Stable

OFF BALANCE SHEET FINANCING

A discussion of our off balance sheet financing arrangements may be found in Item 7 of our 2010 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes in this information since the filing of our 2010 Form 10-K.

APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

A summary of our significant accounting policies is included in Note 1, “SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES,” of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of our 2010 Form 10-K which discusses accounting policies that we have selected from acceptable alternatives.

Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles that often require management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions regarding uncertainties that affect the reported amounts presented and disclosed in the financial statements. Management reviews these estimates and assumptions based on historical experience, changes in business conditions and other relevant factors they believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. In any given reporting period, our actual results may differ from the estimates and assumptions used in preparing our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Critical accounting estimates are defined as follows: the estimate requires management to make assumptions about matters that were highly uncertain at the time the estimate was made; different estimates reasonably could have been used; or if changes in the estimate are reasonably likely to occur from period to period and the change would have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. Our senior management has discussed the development and selection of our accounting policies, related accounting estimates and the disclosures set forth below with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors. We believe our critical accounting estimates include those addressing the estimation of liabilities for recoverability of investment related to new products, warranty programs, accounting for income taxes, pension benefits and annual assessment of recoverability of goodwill.

A discussion of all other critical accounting estimates may be found in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis” section of our 2010 Form 10-K under the caption “APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES.” Within the context of these critical accounting estimates, we are not currently aware of any reasonably likely events or circumstances that would result in different policies or estimates being reported in the first nine months of 2011.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 25, 2011, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

In addition to other information set forth in this report, you should consider other risk factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K or the “CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION” in this Quarterly report are not the only risks we face.

(1) Shares purchased represent shares under the 2011 Board authorized repurchase program (for up to $1 billion of our common shares) and our Key Employee Stock Investment Plan established in 1969 (there is no maximum repurchase limitation in this plan).

(2) These values reflect the sum of shares held in loan status of our Key Employee Stock Investment Plan. The repurchase programs authorized by the Board of Directors do not limit the number of shares that may be purchased and was excluded from this column.

In February 2011, the Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase program and authorized the acquisition of up to $1 billion of our common stock. As of September 25, 2011, we have $ 565 million available for purchase under this authorization.

During the three month period ended September 25, 2011, we repurchased 4,767 shares from employees in connection with the Key Employee Stock Investment Plan which allows certain employees, other than officers, to purchase shares of common stock on an installment basis up to an established credit limit. Loans are issued for five-year terms at a fixed interest rate established at the date of purchase and may be refinanced after its initial five-year period for an additional five-year period. Participants must hold shares for a minimum of six months from date of purchase and after shares are sold must wait six months before another share purchase may be made. We hold participants’ shares as security for the loans and would, in effect repurchase shares if the participant defaulted in repayment of the loan. There is no maximum amount of shares that we may purchase under this plan.
