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 the United States (U.S.) 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 first quarters of 2011 and 2010 ended on March 27, and March 28, respectively.  The interim periods for both 2011 and 2010 contain 12 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 Securities and Exchange Commission.

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 month periods ended March 27, 2011, and March 28, 2010, were as follows:

Three months ended

Options excluded

18,638

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 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 Consolidated Balance Sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP.

NOTE 3.  RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In October 2009, the 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.

NOTE 4. EQUITY, ROYALTY AND INTEREST INCOME FROM INVESTEES

Equity, royalty and interest income from investees included in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the interim reporting periods was as follows:

NOTE 5.  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 three months of 2011.

Fair value of foreign currency forward contacts and total derivative liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets are not material.

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:

9



Table of Contents

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 one year.  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 March 27, 2011 and December 31, 2010, are set forth in the table below.

NOTE 7.  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, 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:

NOTE 9.  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 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 March 27, 2011, we have 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.  Although we believe that we are insured against the full amount of our claim, there is no assurance that we will be successful recovering the amounts we believe are due under the policies.

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.

Table of Contents

Other Guarantees and Commitments

We periodically enter into guarantee arrangements, including guarantees of non-U.S. distributor financing, residual value guarantees on equipment leased under operating leases and other miscellaneous guarantees of third-party obligations.  As of March 27, 2011, the maximum potential loss related to these other guarantees is $65 million ($36 million of which relates to the Beijing Foton guarantee discussed below and $25 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 March 27, 2011, if we were to stop purchasing from each of these suppliers, the amount of the penalty would be approximately $55 million, of which $51 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 $183 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 $92 million (at current exchange rates).  As of March 27, 2011, outstanding borrowings under this agreement were $71 million and our guarantee was $36 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 March 27, 2011, outstanding borrowings under this agreement were $52 million and our guarantee was $25 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 March 27, 2011, were $77 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.

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 March 27, 2011, we have committed to invest an additional $84 million into existing joint ventures of which $51 million is expected to be funded in 2011.

NOTE 11.  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 March 27, 2011, the amount we expect to reclassify from AOCL to income over the next year is a net unrealized gain of $1 million.  For the three month periods ended March 27, 2011 and March 28, 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.

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 96 percent and 97 percent of the notional amounts of contracts outstanding as of March 27, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

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 March 27, 2011, we expect to reclassify an unrealized net gain of $13 million from AOCL to income over the next year.  For the three month periods ended March 27, 2011 and March 28, 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:

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 month interim reporting periods presented below:

NOTE 12.  ANNOUNCED 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.   The transaction is expected to close in our fiscal second quarter of 2011.  This business has historically been included in our Components segment.  The sales price is expected to range from $125 million to $135 million, subject to a final financial statement review.  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 $65 million to $70 million, which includes an allocation of goodwill of approximately $21 million.

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

In February 2011, we signed a non-binding letter of intent 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 our fiscal third quarter of 2011.  The sales price is expected to be approximately $70 million to $75 million, subject to a final financial statement review.  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 $30 million to $35 million, which includes an allocation of goodwill of approximately $9 million.

Sales for this business were $68 million, $55 million and $73 million in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Income before income taxes for this business was approximately $10 million, $3 million and $8 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.

NOTE 13.  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 includes sales of filtration products, exhaust and 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 original equipment manufacturers.

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.

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, Volvo AB and Case New Holland.  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 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 and 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.

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 or the economy of any single country on our consolidated results.

In the first three months of 2011, emerging markets continued to experience strong growth, especially in China, India and Brazil, while certain developed markets began experiencing more robust recoveries, including the North American on-highway markets and both North American and European export markets.   The North American on-highway market has demonstrated signs of strong economic 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 five times higher in the first three months of 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010.  In addition, medium-duty truck and bus shipments in North America were six times higher in the first three months of 2011 compared to the prior period in 2010.

On March 11, 2011, Japan incurred a massive earthquake followed by a devastating tsunami and nuclear disaster which significantly damaged or destroyed much of Japan’s infrastructure in the affected areas.  Although Japan has not historically been a significant market for our products, we are diligently working to evaluate and analyze the impacts of this disaster on all of our business segments.  While we do not believe any future sales losses in Japan will be material to us, we continue to evaluate our supply channel for potential disruptions to us or our customers.  We do not believe the disaster will have any material impact to our results in the second quarter of 2011.  The situation in Japan is very fluid, thus we will continue to monitor our exposure to unforeseen supply shortages for us and our customers that could cause delayed or missed sales opportunities.

Considering the immaterial Japan impacts currently anticipated, we expect demand to improve throughout the remainder of 2011 in most markets and we expect demand in emerging markets to remain strong. Overall, order trends continue to improve and are consistent with our expectations of organic revenue growth in the remainder of 2011.

The following table contains sales and earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) results by operating segment for the three months ended March 27, 2011 and March 28, 2010. Refer to the section titled “Operating Segment Results” later in MD&A for a more detailed discussion of net sales and EBIT by operating segment including the reconciliation of segment EBIT to income before taxes.

Net income attributable to Cummins was $343 million, or $1.75 per diluted share, on sales of $3.9 billion for the three month interim reporting period ended March 27, 2011, versus the comparable prior year period with net income attributable to Cummins of $149 million, or $0.75 per diluted share, on sales of $2.5 billion.  The increase in income was driven by higher sales volumes in emerging markets, recovery of the North American on-highway markets, price improvements, increased sales in developed countries, and increased equity income.  These were partially offset by higher income tax expense, selling, general and administrative expenses and research, development and engineering expenses.

We generated $88 million of operating cash flows for the three months ended March 27, 2011, compared to $126 million for the three months ended March 28, 2010.  Refer to the section titled “Operating Activities” later in the MD&A for a discussion of items impacting cash flows.  In December 2007, Cummins Board of Directors authorized the acquisition of up to $500 million of Cummins 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 Cummins common stock.  We have repurchased $190 million for the first three months of 2011, of which $79 million pertains to the 2011 repurchase program.  Our debt to capital ratio (total capital defined as debt plus equity) at March 27, 2011, was 13.8 percent, compared to 14.4 percent at December 31, 2010.  In February 2011, Fitch affirmed our ratings and upgraded our outlook to positive.  In addition to the $1.086 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.

We have two pending divestitures in the Components segment expected to generate a pre-tax gain of $95 million to $105 million combined.  We expect these deals to close in the second and third quarters of 2011.

OUTLOOK

Near-Term:

In the first three months of 2011, economies in emerging markets, including China, India and Brazil, continued to experience strong growth and certain developed markets began experiencing more robust recoveries, including the North American on-highway truck markets and both North American and European export markets.

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

· Markets for the majority of our products in China, India and Brazil should continue to grow, but at a slower pace than experienced in 2010 and we are expanding our capacity in China and India to meet the expected demand.

· Our markets in North America are expected to continue their robust recovery, especially with the on-highway truck markets and a significant improvement in our power generation markets.

· We expect most of our other markets to continue to grow.

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

· A higher mix of EPA 2010 compliant engines will likely increase our product warranty.

· We will increase our investment in new product development.

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

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

Long-Term:

We see improvements in most of our current markets and we are confident that opportunities for long-term profitable growth will continue in the future.

Net Sales

Net sales for the three month period ended March 27, 2011, increased in all segments versus the comparable periods in 2010, primarily due to increased demand from the recovery of emerging markets and improvement in developed markets.  The primary drivers for the increase in sales were:

· Engine segment sales increased by 68 percent for the three months ended, due to increased demand in all lines of business, led by industrial, medium-duty truck and heavy-duty truck sales

· Power Generation segment sales increased by 54 percent for the three months ended, due to increased sales in all lines of business led by commercial products.

· Components segment sales increased by 47 percent for the three months ended, due to increased demand in all lines of business led by emission solutions and turbo technologies businesses.

· Distribution segment sales increased by 35 percent for the three months ended, due to increased sales in all product lines and all geographic regions.

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

Gross margin increased by $356 million for the three month period ended March 27, 2011, versus the comparable periods in 2010, and increased as a percentage of sales by 0.5 percentage points.  The increase for the three months ended March 27, 2011, was led by increases in volume/favorable mix and improved price realization which were partially offset by increased warranty costs and higher material costs.

The provision for warranties issued as a percent of sales for the three month period ended were 2.7 percent in 2011 compared to 2.5 percent for the comparable period in 2010.  The increase as a percent of sales was primarily due to higher mix of EPA 2010 compliant engines.  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 month period ended March 27, 2011, increased versus the comparable periods in 2010, primarily due to an increase of $28 million in compensation and related expenses, approximately half of which was due to increased head count to support our growing business and merit increases and an increase of $14 million in 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 month period ended March 27, 2011, increased versus the comparable period in 2010, primarily due to an increase in the number of engineering programs of $16 million and an increase of $13 million in compensation and related expenses.  Higher compensation expense was primarily due to increased head count to support our growing business and merit increases. 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 month period ended March 27, 2011, increased versus the comparable periods in 2010, primarily due to the following:

Income Tax Expense

Our effective tax rate for the year is expected to approximate 30 percent, absent any discrete period activity.  Our tax rate is generally less than the 35 percent U.S. statutory income tax rate primarily due to lower tax rates on foreign income and research credits.  The tax rate for the three month period ended March 27, 2011 , was 30 percent.

Our effective tax rate for the comparable prior year period was 34 percent and included a discrete tax charge of $7 million (three percent) related to the enactment of the “Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act”.  This rate was less than the 35 percent U.S. statutory income tax rate primarily due to lower tax rates on foreign income.

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 month period ended March 27, 2011, increased versus the comparable period in 2010, primarily due to higher volumes in most markets, significantly improved gross margins and increased equity income.  These were partially offset by higher income tax expense, selling, general and administrative expenses and research, development and engineering expenses.

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 or loss before interest

Sales

Engine segment sales for the three month period ended March 27, 2011, increased versus the comparable period in 2010, due to improved sales in most markets primarily due to a significant rebound in North American on-highway markets as well as stronger demand in emerging economies.  The following were the primary drivers by market:

· Industrial market sales increased primarily due to a 68 percent improvement in international construction engine shipments driven by the economic recovery and infrastructure investments in emerging markets, more than double the number of oil and gas engine shipments in North America, and a 66 percent increase in the units sold in the international mining engine markets due to increased coal and commodity demands.

· Medium-duty truck and bus engine sales increased primarily due to the economic 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, as well as increased demand in the Brazilian truck engine market driven by a growing economy and government incentives.

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

· Stationary power engine sales increased primarily due to higher demand in the power generation markets.

· Light-duty truck and RV engine sales increased as a result of 24 percent higher demand from Chrysler.

Total on-highway-related sales for the three month period ended March 27, 2011, were 52 percent of total engine segment sales, compared to 48 percent for the comparable period in 2010.

Segment EBIT

Engine segment EBIT for the three month period ended March 27, 2011, increased significantly versus the comparable period in 2010, primarily due to higher gross margin, partially offset by increased research, development and engineering expenses and increased selling, general and administrative expenses.

The increase in gross margin for the three month period ended March 27, 2011, versus the comparable period in 2010, was primarily due to increased volumes, favorable mix and improved price realization, partially offset by higher base warranty costs due to an increasing mix of EPA 2010 products, increased commodity costs and increased discretionary expenditures.  The increases in research development and engineering expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses were primarily due to increased discretionary expenditures, increased head count to support our growing business, merit increases and product development spending.

Components segment sales for the three month period ended March 27, 2011, increased in all businesses versus the comparable period in 2010.  The following were the primary drivers by business:

· Emission solutions business sales increased due to higher volumes 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 decreased sales of our EPA 2007 aftertreatment systems.

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

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

· Filtration systems business sales increased due to improved aftermarket demand, especially in Asia Pacific and in North America and increased OEM demand due to the economic recovery in North American on-highway markets.

Sales

Distribution segment sales for the three month period ended March 27, 2011, increased for all products and services 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 and recovery in the construction and mining markets in Europe.

· Power generation product sales increased primarily due to improved project-based business across Europe, the Middle East and North and Central America.

· Parts and filtration product sales increased primarily due to improved sales in East Asia and market recovery in Europe, as well as the acquisition of a previously independent distributor in the fourth quarter of 2010.

· Service revenue increased primarily due to stronger sales from mining customers in the South Pacific and the increase in maintenance contracts in North America.

· Foreign currency fluctuations also favorably impacted sales.

Segment EBIT

Distribution segment EBIT for the three month period ended March 27, 2011, increased versus the comparable period in 2010, primarily due to increased gross margin and equity, royalty and interest income from investees, which was partially offset by increased selling, general and administrative expenses and other income.

The increase in gross margin for the three month period ended March 27, 2011, versus the comparable period in 2010, was primarily due to increased volumes in all products and favorable foreign currency impacts.  The increase in equity, royalty and interest income from investees was primarily due to increased income from North American distributors especially in oil and gas markets.  The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was mainly due to increased head count to support our growing business, merit increases and unfavorable foreign currency impacts.  The decrease in other income and the decrease in EBIT as a percentage of sales were primarily due to a one-time gain of $12 million from the acquisition of Cummins Western Canada in the first quarter of 2010.

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.  Cash provided by operations is our principal source of liquidity.  As of March 27, 2011, other sources of liquidity include:

· cash and cash equivalents of $779 million, of which approximately 35 percent is located in the U.S., and 54 percent is located in the U.K., China, Brazil and India,

· marketable securities of $307 million, which are located primarily in India and Brazil,

· $1.21 billion available under our revolving credit facility,

· $273 million available under international and other domestic credit facilities and

· $151 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.  The geographic location of our cash and marketable securities aligns well with our business investment strategy.  As a result, we do not anticipate any local liquidity restrictions to preclude us from funding our expansion or operating needs with local resources.

A significant portion of our cash flows is generated outside the U.S. Half of our cash and cash equivalents and most of our marketable securities at March 27, 2011, are denominated in foreign currencies.  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.  The repatriation of cash balances from certain subsidiaries could have adverse tax consequences; however, those balances are generally available, without legal restrictions, to fund ordinary business operations at the local level.  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 held are with large, well-diversified multinational firms or are de minimus amounts in large index funds.  In addition, we have rebalanced our asset portfolios in the U.S. and U.K. with equities representing a smaller segment of the total portfolios.  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.

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 first quarter of 2011, financial markets continued to recover from the global economic recession.  Thus, for the three month interim reporting period ended March 27, 2011, the return for our U.S. plan was 2.7 percent while our U.K. plan return was 1.2 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 $41 million of pension contributions in the three month period ended March 27, 2011, and we anticipate making total contributions of approximately $130 million to our 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 $51 million in 2011.  The $41 million of pension contributions in the three months ended March 27, 2011, included voluntary contributions of $35 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 three months ended March 27, 2011, versus the comparable period in 2010, primarily due to the acquisition of CWC that occurred in 2010 and lower investments in marketable securities.  These were partially offset by increased capital expenditures and decreased proceeds from the disposal of property, plant and equipment.

Capital expenditures for the three month period ended March 27, 2011, were $91 million compared to $47 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.  Approximately two thirds of our capital expenditures will be invested outside of the U.S.

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.   The transaction is expected to close in our fiscal second quarter of 2011.  This business has historically been included in our Components segment.  The sales price is expected to range from $125 million to $135 million, subject to a final financial statement review.  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 $65 million to $70 million, which includes an allocation of goodwill of approximately $21 million.

In February 2011, we signed a non-binding letter of intent 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 our fiscal third quarter of 2011.  The sales price is expected to be approximately $70 million to $75 million, subject to a final financial statement review.  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 $30 million to $35 million, which includes an allocation of goodwill of approximately $9 million.

Net cash used in financing activities increased for the three months ended March 27, 2011, versus the comparable period in 2010, primarily due to significantly higher repurchases of common stock, lower proceeds from borrowings and higher payments on borrowings and capital lease obligations, primarily related to the acquisition of CWC in 2010.

Our total debt was $832 million as of March 27, 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 13.8 percent at March 27, 2011, compared with 14.4 percent at December 31, 2010.  The decrease in total debt was principally due to payments on borrowings related to the acquisition of CWC in the first quarter of 2010.

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 first quarter of 2011 that have impacted these covenants or pricing modifications.  In January 2011, Fitch affirmed our ratings and upgraded our outlook to positive.

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.

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 warranty programs, recoverability of investment related to new products, accounting for income taxes, pension benefits and annual assessment of recoverability of goodwill.

A discussion of our 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 three months of 2011.

RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

See Note 3, “RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS,” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements .

ITEM 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

A discussion of quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk may be found in Item 7A of our 2010 Form 10-K.  There have been no material changes in this information since the filing of our 2010 Form 10-K.  Further information regarding financial instruments and risk management is discussed in Note 11, “DERIVATIVES,” in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements .

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

37



Table of Contents

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 March 27, 2011, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  Legal Proceedings

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 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 March 27, 2011, we have 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.  Although we believe that we are insured against the full amount of our claim, there is no assurance that we will be successful recovering the amounts we believe are due under the policies.

ITEM 1A.  Risk Factors

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.  Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently judge to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results.

(1) Shares purchased represent the remainder of the shares authorized in 2007 by the Board (for up to $500 million of our common shares), share purchases 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 were excluded from this column.

In December 2007, the Board of Directors authorized us to acquire an additional $500 million worth of Cummins common stock beginning in 2008.  During the three month period ended March 27, 2011, we completed this program.

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 upon the completion of the $500 million program. As of March 27, 2011, we have $921 million available for purchase under this authorization.

During the three month period ended March 27, 2011, we repurchased 5,233 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.
