PART I

Item 1.    Business

OVERVIEW

        Cummins Inc. was founded in 1919 as a corporation in Columbus, Indiana, as one of the first diesel engine manufacturers. 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, and emissions solutions,exhaust aftertreatment, 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 Manufacturersoriginal 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 DaimlerChryslerAG (DaimlerChrysler), PACCAR Inc., International Truck and Engine Corporation (Navistar International Corporation), Volvo AB, CNH Global N.V., Tata Motors Ltd., Ford, Volkswagen, Dongfeng Motor Company, Komatsu and Scania AB. We serve our customers through a network of more than 550500 company-owned and independent distributor locations and approximately 5,0005,200 dealer locations in more than 160190 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. OEM inventory levels, production schedules, work stoppages and changes in emission standards also impact our sales. Economic downturns in the markets we serve generally result in reduced sales, which affect our profits and cash flow.
OPERATING SEGMENTS

        We are also subject to substantial government regulation which requires us to make significant investments in capital and research that also impacts our profits and cash flow.

COMPETITIVE STRENGTHS

We believe the following competitive strengths are instrumental to our success:

·Leading Brands.  Our product portfolio includes products and services marketed and branded under various trademarks, tradenames and trade dress configurations throughout the world, including each of the following brands, which holds a leading position in its respective market:

·        Cummins® engines, electric power generation systems, components and parts;

·        Onan® and Cummins®-Onan® generator sets;

·        Alternator products sold under the Stamford®, AvK® and Markon® brands;

·        Fleetguard® filtration systems and components;

·        Cummins® intake and exhaust systems and components;

·        KussTM automotive in-tank fuel filtration;

·        Universal Silencer® filtration systems and silencers;

·        Holset® turbochargers;

·        Cummins® Fuel SystemsTM offerings and components; and

·        Cummins® Emission SolutionsTM aftertreatment solutions and offerings.


Our continual investment in and attention to furthering brand equity in our offerings and across our business units includes leveraging and creating brand identity, brand value and brand presence for our offerings in our markets of interest. In particular during 2006, we successfully rebranded our major operating business units to reflect the Cummins name and brand in furtherance of our overall branding strategy. In part, as a result of this investment and by seeking to aggregate brand strength in complementary markets, we also gain recognition in and across our markets for our offerings, continually seek new and innovative means to further develop and expand market share through our brand equity position, and strengthen customer relationships.

While our portfolio of branded products and offerings contains a number of market leaders, we operate in a highly competitive sector and our branded offerings compete with the brands offered by other manufacturers and distributors that produce and sell similar offerings.

·Customers and Partners.  To maintain technology leadership and a global presence in a cost-effective manner, we have established strategic alliances with a number of our leading customers. These partnerships provide us with a knowledge and understanding of our customers’ technology and business needs, and enable us to develop products and services which better meet their requirements at lower costs. For example, we have both customer and supplier arrangements with Komatsu, Ltd., including manufacturing joint ventures and a product development joint venture through which we have partnered in the development of several engines. We are also the exclusive supplier of engines for Komatsu mining equipment. In addition, we have been the exclusive diesel engine supplier to DaimlerChrysler for its Dodge Ram truck since 1988, and in 2003 our exclusivity agreement was extended beyond model year 2007. We have long-term agreements with Volvo and International Truck and Engine Corporation for the supply of heavy-duty truck engines and PACCAR for the supply of both heavy-duty and medium-duty engines. These agreements afford us long-term price stability and eliminate certain dealer and end-user discounts as well as offer closer integration on product development. We also have multiple international joint ventures which manufacture heavy-duty and midrange engines, including partnerships with Tata Motors Ltd. which is the leading truck manufacturer in India, and Dongfeng Automotive Corporation, an engine supplier to the largest medium-duty truck manufacturer in China.

·Global Presence.  We have a strong global presence including a worldwide distribution system, manufacturing and engineering facilities around the world and a network of global supply sources. Our worldwide presence has enabled us to take advantage of growth opportunities in international markets, with sales outside the U.S. growing from 43 percent of total consolidated net sales in 2000 to 50 percent of total consolidated net sales in 2006. For over 70 years, we have developed a distribution and service network that includes more than 550 company-owned and independent distributor locations and 5,000 independent dealers located throughout 160 countries and territories. We also have manufacturing operations and product engineering centers around the world, with facilities in the United Kingdom (UK), Brazil, Mexico, Canada, France, Australia, China, India, South Africa, Japan and Singapore. In addition, we have developed a global network of high-quality, low-cost supply sources to support our manufacturing base.

·Leading Technology.  We have an established reputation for delivering high-quality, technologically advanced products. We continuously work with our customers to develop new products to improve the performance of their vehicles, equipment or systems at competitive cost levels. We are a leader in developing technologies to reduce diesel engine emissions, a key concern of our customers and regulators around the world. We were the first manufacturer to receive a Tier III Certificate of Conformity from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for our QSM off-highway engine that met the January 2005 emissions standards. We were able to meet the EPA’s 2007 heavy-duty on-highway emissions standards that went into effect on January 1, 2007 and we announced in January 2007 that our Dodge Ram 6.7-liter Turbo Diesel engine meets the EPA’s 2010 emissions


standards a full three years ahead of the requirements. We have also developed low-emission, high-performance natural gas engines as an alternative-fuel option for the on-highway, industrial and power generation markets. Our technology leadership in filtration, exhaust aftertreatment, air handling and fuel systems allows us to develop integrated product solutions for the on-highway, off-highway and power generation markets, allowing our customers to use a single high-performance, low-cost system as opposed to multiple components from different suppliers.

BUSINESS STRATEGY

The five key principles upon which we drive our business strategies are as follows:

·Being a Low Cost Producer in as Many of our Markets as Possible.  In many of our markets, product or system cost is a critical performance parameter for our customers. To achieve cost leadership, we will continue to leverage our innovative technology, economies of scale, global presence and customer partnerships. We have focused on reducing costs and lowering our breakeven point to maintain a competitive advantage and to deliver quality products to our customers. The following key initiatives are integral to this strategy:

·Six Sigma.  Since the program’s inception in 2000, we have not only applied Six Sigma to manufacturing processes and in the initial design of new products, but also expanded the program to include processes with customers, suppliers and distributors. Six Sigma yields not only significant cost savings and improved quality, it strengthens our relationships with these important stakeholders and contributes to developing long-term relationships.

·Global Sourcing.  Our cost reduction efforts in supply chain management include global procurement from less expensive international markets such as China, India, Eastern Europe and Brazil which has resulted in significantly reducing the cost of purchased materials and services during the last six years.

·Technical Productivity. We have managed our research and development costs through a number of initiatives including a) using analysis-led design to eliminate capital-intensive prototypes through virtual computer modeling, b) performing significant analysis work at our technical center in India, c) applying engineering standards globally and d) with cost-sharing arrangements with OEM customers and joint venture partnerships. Cummins operates 17 technical centers around the world. In August 2006, we further strengthened our engine research and development capability by officially opening our first technical center in central China’s Wuhan City. These initiatives have helped us to continue to be a technology leader, while maintaining our research and engineering expense at approximately 2.8 percent of consolidated net sales for 2006.

·Expanding into Related Markets.  We will continue to focus growth initiatives in related businesses where we can use our existing investments in products or technology, leading brand name or market presence to establish a competitive advantage. That focus is particularly on ventures that complement our existing businesses by being less capital-intensive and less cyclical or counter-cyclical to our core businesses, for example, the production of light-duty diesel engines in an existing Cummins facility that will introduce us to a new consumer customer base. Furthermore, we will target related markets that offer higher rates of growth, attractive returns and more stable cash flows through product and end market diversity. Specific growth opportunities are outlined below.

·        Our Engine segment strategy includes the development of light-duty diesel engines for the SUV/light duty pick-up truck and industrial markets both in the U.S. and in China. In addition, our strategy includes the development of high horsepower engines for the growing oil and gas and marine markets.


·        Our Power Generation strategy is focused on attaining leadership positions in all major commercial generator set markets globally, including growth in market share in European, Middle Eastern and African markets and penetration gains in power electronics and controls, such as automatic transfer switches and switchgear. The business is also pursuing growth opportunities in adjacent markets for consumer generator sets, including towable trailers, portable generator sets, auxiliary power units and residential generator sets.

·        Our Components segment will leverage our filtration, exhaust, fuel systems, turbocharger and engine technologies to provide integrated solutions for its customers and meet increasingly stringent emissions requirements.

·        Our Distribution segment is growing through the expansion of the aftermarket parts and service business by capitalizing on its global customer base and fast growth markets in China, India and Russia as well as the Middle East. Our strategy also includes increasing our ownership interest in key portions of the distribution channel.

·Creating Greater Shareholder Value.  Return on equity is a primary measure of our consolidated financial performance. We report the performance of our operating segments based on segment EBIT. Segment EBIT is earnings before interest expense, taxes and minority interests.

·Leveraging Complementary Businesses.  Strong synergies and relationships exist between our operating segments in the following areas:

·Shared Technology.  In addition to common platforms of base product technology, our operating segments have technical capabilities which can be applied commercially to provide integrated solutions for our customers. The operating segments also realize synergies in the development and application of broader technology tools (such as information technology).

·Common Channels and Distribution.  All operating segments utilize a common distribution channel, which provides access to a full range of our products and also provides economies of scale.

·Shared Customers and Partners.  There is substantial commonality in customers and partners between operating segments, which allows us to build strong customer relationships and provides opportunity for expanded product offerings.

·Corporate Brand and Image.  All operating segments benefit from the established and respected corporate brand.

·Creating the Right Environment for Success.  We believe that creating the right environment for success means creating an inclusive learning environment, while reinforcing a performance ethic that attracts, develops and retains high-quality talent. We measure our success through skill and competency assessment, leadership development outcomes and participation in tailored individual development and training programs.

OUR OPERATING SEGMENTS

We operate four complementary operating segments: Engine, Power Generation, Components and Distribution. These segments that share technology, customers, strategic partners, brandsbrand recognition and our distribution network to gain a competitive advantage in their respective markets. With our size and global presence, we provide world-class products, service and support to our customers in a cost-effective manner. In each of our operating segments, we compete worldwide with a number of other manufacturers and distributors that produce and sell similar products. Our products primarily compete on the basis of price, performance, fuel economy, speed of delivery, quality, customer support and customer support.


We made certain leadership changes effective May 2, 2005, withinprice. Financial information about our management team. In connection with these changes, certain modifications were madeoperating segments, including geographic information, is incorporated by reference from Note 25, "OPERATING SEGMENTS," to our internal reporting. These modifications are summarized below:Consolidated Financial Statements.

·
       The Filtration and Other segment was renamed the Components segment and now includes operating results of the fuel systems business which were previously included in the Engine segment. Historically, the fuel systems business transferred product within theSegment

        Engine segment at cost. Beginning in the third quartersales and EBIT as a percentage of 2005, those transfers began using a cost-plus based transfer price. As a result of this change, segment EBIT increased for the Components segmentconsolidated results were:

Defined as earnings before interest and decreased for the Engine segment but there was no impact to consolidated earnings. Revenues of the Components segment were also increased to reflect transfers to the Engine segment and eliminations were increased by a corresponding amount.

taxes

·       The North American distribution business was combined with the International Distribution segment and renamed the Distribution segment. Previously, the North American distribution business was reported in the Engine and Power Generation segments as investee equity and included the results of a partially-owned distributor that is consolidated. As a result, revenues of the Engine segment were increased to reflect sales to the consolidated distributor that were previously eliminated and decreased for the revenues of the consolidated distributor which are now included in the Distribution segment. In addition, this change also caused investee equity earnings in the Engine and Power Generation segments to decrease while investee equity earnings in the Distribution segment increased by a corresponding amount.

Engine Segment

Our Engine segment manufactures and markets a broad range of diesel and natural gas-poweredgas powered engines under the Cummins brand name, as well as certain customer brand names, for the heavy-andheavy- and medium-duty truck, bus, recreational vehicle (RV), light-duty automotive, agricultural, construction, mining, marine, oil and gas, rail and governmental equipment markets. We offer a wide variety of engine products including:

    Engines with a displacement fromrange of 1.4 to 91 liters and horsepower ranging from 31 to 3,500. In addition, we provide a full range of new

    New parts and service, as well as remanufactured parts and engines, through our extensive distribution network. The

        Our Engine segment is our largest operating segment, accountingorganized by engine displacement size and serves these end-user markets:

    Heavy-Duty Truck—We manufacture diesel engines that range from 310 to 600 horsepower serving global heavy-duty truck customers worldwide.

Heavy-Duty Truck

We manufacture a complete line of diesel engines that range from 310 horsepower to 600 horsepower serving the worldwide heavy-duty truck market. We offer the ISM and ISX engines and in Australia, the Signature 620 series engines, which we believe comprise the most modern product engine line in our industry. Most major heavy-duty truck manufacturers in North America offer our diesel engines as standard or optional power. In 2006, we held a 27 percent share of the Group II engine market for NAFTA Class 8 heavy-duty trucks. We are also the market leader in Mexico and South Africa. Our largest customer for heavy-duty truck engines in 2006 was International Truck and Engine Corporation (Navistar International Corporation) with sales representing almost 9 percent of consolidated net sales.

We have long-term supply agreements with three key customers to improve customer service and increase market share. We have a long-term agreement with Volvo Trucks North America, Inc. under which we act as its sole external engine supplier. We also have long-term supply agreements with PACCAR and International Truck and Engine Corporation (Navistar International Corporation) covering our heavy-duty engine product line. These supply agreements provide long-term, stable pricing for engines and eliminate certain dealer and end-user discounts, in order to provide our customers with full responsibility for total vehicle cost and pricing. In addition, these agreements provide for joint work on engine/vehicle integration with a focus on reducing product proliferation. These efforts are expected to reduce product cost while creating enhanced value for end-users through better product quality and performance. The joint sales and service efforts also will provide better customer support at a significantly reduced cost to the partners.

Medium-Duty Truck and Bus

We manufacture a product line of medium-duty diesel engines ranging from 200 horsepower to 400 horsepower serving medium-duty and inter-city delivery truck customers worldwide. We believe that our ISB, ISC and ISL series diesel engines comprise the most advanced product line in the industry. We sell our ISB and ISC series engines and engine components to medium-duty truck manufacturers in Asia, Europe and South America. For the year ended 2006 our market share for diesel powered medium-duty trucks in the North American medium-duty truck market had grown to approximately 16 percent. Freightliner LLC, (a division of DaimlerChrysler), PACCAR, Ford and Volkswagen AG are our major customers in this worldwide market.

InOur company-owned distributors are located in key markets, including India, China, Japan, Australia, Europe, the Middle East, South Africa, Brazil, North America this networkand Russia.

        The Distribution segment is organized into four primary geographic regions:

    North and Central America,

    South America,

    EMEA and

    Asia Pacific.

        EMEA and Asia Pacific are composed of seven smaller regional distributor organizations (Greater Europe, Africa, the Middle East, India, China, Northeast/Southeast Asia and the South Pacific) which allow us to better manage these vast geographic territories.

        Our largest market, North and Central America, is mostly comprised of a network of partially-owned distributors. Internationally, our network consists of independent, partially-owned and wholly-owned distributors. Through this network, our trained personnelwe provide parts and service to our customers, as well ascustomers. These full-service solutions includinginclude maintenance contracts, engineering services and integrated products, where we customize our products to cater to specific needs of end-users.

Distribution Entities

    North American Distributors—Our distribution channel in North America includes 13 partially-owned distributors. Our equity interests in these nonconsolidated entities range from 30 percent to 50 percent. While each distributor is a world-class supply baseseparate legal entity, the business of each is the same as that of our wholly-owned distributors based in terms of technology, quality and cost. We source our materials and manufactured components from leading suppliers both domestically and internationally. We have adequate sources of supply of raw materials and components. We machine and assemble someother parts of the components used in our engines and power generation units, including blocks, heads, rods, turbochargers, camshafts, crankshafts, filters, exhaust systems, alternators and fuel systems. We also have arrangements with certain suppliers who are the sole source for specific products or supply items. Between 75 and 85 percentworld. All of our total raw material and component purchases in 2006 were purchased from suppliers who are the sole sourcedistributors, irrespective of supply for a particular supply item. Although we elect to source a relatively high proportion of our total raw materials and component requirements from sole suppliers, the majority of these supply items can be purchased from alternate suppliers with the appropriate lead-time and sourcing plan. In 2006, we established a process to annually review our sourcing strategies with a focus on the reduction of risk. We are also developing suppliers in many globaltheir legal structure or low-cost locations to serve our businesses across the globe and provide alternative sources in the event of disruption from existing suppliers. In addition, we maintain dual sourcing at a commodity level on many of our sole sourced part numbers. Our supply agreements vary according to the particular part number sourced. However, these agreements typically include standard terms relating to cost (including cost reduction targets), quality and delivery. Our supply agreements also typically include customary intellectual property provisions that contain prohibitions on the use of our intellectual property by the suppliers for any purpose other than their performance of the supply agreements, and indemnity covenants from suppliers for breach by them of intellectual property rights of third parties in performance of the agreements. The duration of our more important supply agreements varies but typically ranges between three and five years. Many of our supply agreements include early termination provisions related to failure to meet quality and delivery requirements.

    PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS

    We own or control a significant number of patents and trademarks relating to the products we manufacture. These have been granted and registered over a period of years. Although these patents and trademarks are generally considered beneficial to our operations, we do not believe any patent, group of patents, or trademark (other than our leading brand house trademarks) is considered significant in relation to our business.

    SEASONALITY

    While individual product lines may experience modest seasonal declines in production, there is no material effect on the demand for the majority of our products on a quarterly basis. However, our Power Generation segment normally experiences seasonal declines in the first quarter of the fiscal year due to general declines in construction spending and our Distribution segment normally experiences seasonal declines in first quarter business activity due to holiday periods in Asia and Australia.

    LARGEST CUSTOMER

    We have thousands of customers around the world and have developed long-standing business relationships with many of them. DaimlerChrysler is our largest customer, accounting for approximately 10 percent of our consolidated net sales in 2006, primarily relating to sales of our ISB engine for use in


    Dodge Ram trucks and sales of our heavy- and medium-duty truck engines to the Freightliner division of DaimlerChrysler. While a significant number of our sales to DaimlerChrysler are under long-term supply agreements, these agreements provide for the supply of DaimlerChrysler’s engine requirements for particular vehicle models and not a specific volume of engines. The loss of this customer or a significant decline in the production level of DaimlerChrysler vehicles that use our engines would have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. We have been an engine supplier to DaimlerChrysler for nearly 20 years and to Freightliner for well over 50 years. A summary of principal customers for each operating segment is included in our segment discussion.

    In addition to our agreements with DaimlerChrysler, we have long-term heavy-duty engine supply agreements with International Truck and Engine Corporation, PACCAR and Volvo Trucks North America. Collectively, our net sales to these three customers was less than 19 percent of consolidated net sales in 2006 and individually, was less than 9 percent of consolidated net sales for each customer. As with DaimlerChrysler, these agreements contain standard purchase and sale agreement terms covering engine and engine parts pricing, quality and delivery commitments, as well as engineering product support obligations. The basic nature of our agreements with OEM customers is that they are long-term price and operations agreements that assure the availability of our products to each customer through the duration of the respective agreements. There are no guarantees or commitments by these customers of any kind regarding volumes or market shares, except in the case of DaimlerChrysler, which has committed that Cummins will be its exclusive diesel engine supplier for the Dodge Ram heavy-duty pickup truck. Agreements with OEMs contain bilateral termination provisions giving either party the right to terminate in the event of a material breach, change of control or insolvency or bankruptcy of the other party.

    BACKLOG

    Demand in many of our markets has grown rapidly in the last two years resulting in longer lead times. However, while we have supply agreements with some truck and off-highway equipment OEMs, most of our business is transacted through open purchase orders. These open orders are historically subject to month-to-month releases and are subject to cancellation on reasonable notice without cancellation charges and therefore are not considered firm.

    DISTRIBUTION

    For over 70 years, we have been developing a distribution and service network that includes more than 550 independent distributor locations and 5,000 independent dealers in 160 countries and territories. In North America, this network is comprised of independent and partially-owned distributors. Internationally, our network consists of independent, partially-owned, and wholly-owned distributors. Most distributors sellownership, offer the full range of our products as well as complementaryand services to customers and end-users in their respective markets.

    Komatsu Cummins Chile, Ltda.—Komatsu Cummins Chile, Ltda. is a joint venture with Komatsu America Corporation. The joint venture is a distributor that offers the full range of our products and services. Our Distribution segment operates within this network with 17 company-owned distributorsservices to customers and 12 joint venturesend-users in approximately 270 locations in over 90 countries and territories.

Our licensing 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 marks, 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 refuse to renew these agreements at will and we may terminate them upon 90-day 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

Manufacturing Entities

        Manufacturing joint ventures are more than 5,000 locations in North America, primarily owned and operated by OEMs or their dealers, at which Cummins trained service personnel and parts are available to service, maintain and repair our engines. We also have parts distribution centers located strategically throughout the world in order to serve ourgenerally formed with customers and distributors.

RESEARCH AND ENGINEERING

Our research and engineering program is focused on product improvements, innovations and cost reductions for our customers. In 2006, our research and engineering expenditures were $321 million compared to $278 million in 2005. Of this amount, approximately 19 percent, or $62 million, was directly related to the development of heavy-duty and medium-duty engines that are designed to comply with the 2007 emissions standards with approximately $10 million directly related to compliance with 2010 emissions standards.

In the Engine segment, we continue to invest in system integration and in technologies to meet increasingly more stringent emissions standards. We have focused our engine technology development on four critical subsystems: combustion, air handling, electronic controls and exhaust aftertreatment. We were the first engine manufacturer to announce a low-cost combustion-only emission solution for Tier III industrial diesel engines that does not require exhaust gas recirculation nor exhaust aftertreatment. We were able to meet the EPA’s 2007 heavy-duty on-highway emissions standards that went into effect on January 1, 2007 and we announced in January 2007 that our 6.7-liter Dodge Ram Turbo Diesel engine meets the EPA’s 2010 emissions standards a full three years ahead of the requirements. In addition, we were the first company to demonstrate a prototype vehicle that meets EPA 2007 gasoline-equivalent “Tier II Bin 5” emission levels.

In Power Generation, our product engineering focus is to develop products with the best performance at the lowest cost for our customers. Our power electronics technology development is aimed at applying digital electronics to eliminate multiple genset controllers and achieve higher levels of system integration and control. We meet the most advanced emission standards around the world, employing both combustion and exhaust aftertreatment technologies. Looking to future low-emission power generation technologies, we have a Department of Energy funded program to develop a solid oxide fuel cell system for vehicle auxiliary power generation and for smaller stationary power generation applications.

In Components, we are building on our strengths in design integration to develop modules that integrate multiple filtration functions into a single engine subsystem component. We are developing new filter media and technologies that support low-emission engines, including exhaust aftertreatment, closed crankcase ventilation, fuel systems and centrifugal soot removal.

In 2003, we established Cummins Research and Technology India Private Ltd. (CRTI). This partially-owned subsidiary provides analytical services such as structural dynamics, computational fluid dynamics, and design to all Cummins entities. CRTI is located in Pune, India. In August 2006, our first technical center in China was opened in Wuhan City. The East Asia Technical Center, a 55-45 joint venture between Cummins and Dongfeng Cummins Engine Company Limited (DCEC), provides engineering and technical


development services for the full range of Cummins products built in China, including diesel and natural gas engines, power generators, turbochargers and filtration products. A series of projects has already started in the technical center, including the development of a new 13-liter engine platform for the heavy-duty truck market served by DCEC.

SEASONALITY

        While individual product lines may experience modest seasonal declines in production, there is no material effect on the demand for the majority of our products on a quarterly basis with the exception that our Power Generation segment normally experiences seasonal declines in the first quarter due to general declines in construction spending during this period and servicesour Distribution segment normally experiences seasonal declines in first quarter business activity due to customersholiday periods in Asia and end-users.Australia.


LARGEST CUSTOMERS

        We have also entered into numerous joint venturesthousands of customers around the world where we provideand have developed long-standing business relationships with many of them. We have long-term heavy-duty engine components, suchsupply agreements with PACCAR and Volvo Trucks North America. We have mid-range supply agreements with PACCAR, as turbochargers, alternatorsits exclusive engine supplier, as well as with Daimler Trucks North America (formerly Freightliner LLC), Ford and filtration products. In Turkey,MAN (formerly Volkswagen). We also have an agreement with Chrysler, for supplying the engine for use in Dodge Ram trucks. Collectively, our net sales to these six customers was approximately 22 percent of consolidated net sales in 2009, compared to approximately 21 percent in 2008 and 27 percent in 2007 and individually was less than nine percent of consolidated net sales to any single customer in 2009, compared to less than eight percent in both 2008 and 2007. These agreements contain standard purchase and sale agreement terms covering engine and engine parts pricing, quality and delivery commitments, as well as engineering product support obligations. The basic nature of our agreements with OEM customers is that they are long-term price and operations agreements that assure the availability of our products to each customer through the duration of the respective agreements. Agreements with most OEMs contain bilateral termination provisions giving either party the right to terminate in the event of a material breach, change of control or insolvency or bankruptcy of the other party.

ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE

Product Environmental Compliance

Our engines are subject to extensive statutory and regulatory requirements that directly or indirectly impose standards governing emissions and noise. Our products comply with all current emissions standards that the EPA,Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and other state and international regulatory agencies as well as other regulatory agencies around the world, have established for heavy-duty on-highway diesel and gas engines and off-highway engines produced through 2006.engines. Our ability to comply with these and future emissions standards is an essential element in maintaining our leadership position in regulated markets. We have made, and will continue to make significant capital and research expenditures to comply with these standards. Failure to comply with these standards could result in adverse effects on our future financial results.

EPA Engine Certifications

In the fourth quarter of 2002, we implemented new on-road        The current on-highway emissions standards. These were implementedstandards came into effect in accordance with the terms of a 1998 consent decree that we and a number of other engine manufacturers entered into with the EPA, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and CARB. The consent decree also required us to pull forward by one year (toon January 1, 2005)2010. To meet the implementation of Tier III2010 U.S. EPA heavy-duty on-highway emissions standards, for off-road engines in the 300we are using an evolution of our proven 2007 technology solution to 749 horsepower range. Sales of these engines commenced January 1, 2005. The consent decree was in response to concerns raised by these agencies regarding the level of nitrogen oxide emissions from heavy-duty dieselmaintain power and torque with substantial fuel economy improvement and maintenance intervals comparable with our 2007 compliant engines. On December 15, 2006, we were notified by the EPA that the consent decree provisions relating to certificationWe will offer a complete lineup of on-highway engines have been terminated, indicating our successful completion of that portionto meet the near-zero emissions standards. Mid-range and heavy-duty engines for EPA 2010 require nitrogen oxide (NOx) aftertreatment. NOx reduction is achieved by an integrated technology solution comprised of the consent decree. Certain other requirementsXPI High Pressure Common Rail fuel system, selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology, next-generation cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), advanced electronic controls, proven air handling and the Cummins Particulate Filter. The EPA and CARB have certified that our engines meet the 2010 emission requirements. Emissions standards in international markets, including Europe, Japan, Mexico, Australia, Brazil, India and China are becoming more stringent. We believe that our experience in meeting U.S. emissions standards leaves us well positioned to take advantage of opportunities in these markets as the consent decree continue and are on course to terminate within deadlines.need for emissions control capability grows.

Federal and California regulations require manufacturers to report failures of emissions-related components to the EPA and CARB when the failure rate reaches a specified level. At higher failure rates, a product recall may be required. In 2006,2009, we submitted 46three reports to the EPA relating to 24two different defects affecting EGR valves, turbochargersoxidation catalysts and a minor mathematical change tovehicle labels. The oxidation catalyst defect necessitated the calibration algorithm. None of these defects resulted in a campaign of a material nature.approximately 360 engines.

Emissions standards in international markets, including Europe and Japan, are becoming more stringent. We believe that our experience in meeting U.S. emissions standards leaves us well positioned to take advantage of opportunities in these markets as the need for emissions control capability grows.

New on-highway emissions standards came into effect in the U.S. on January 1, 2007. In December 2003, we announced that we would meet the 2007 U.S. EPA heavy-duty on-highway emissions standards by combining our existing cooled Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) technology with particulate matter (PM) filters. Cooled EGR is the same technology that we have used since April 2002 and was selected after reviewing other aftertreatment technologies such as NOx adsorbers and selective catalytic reduction (SCR). Our experience with particulate filters and the availability of ultra-low-sulfur diesel fuel combine to give us the confidence in meeting these tough standards in the U.S. Additionally, while we believe the EGR/PM filter combination is the right solution for 2007 in the U.S., we have selected SCR as the right technology to meet on-highway Euro IV emissions standards and certain off-highway applications.

Item 1A.    Risk Factors Relating to Our Business

Set forth below and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are some of the principal risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual business results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements contained in this Report.Report and could individually or combined have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position and cash flows. In addition, future results could be materially affected by general industry and market conditions, changes in laws or accounting rules, general U.S. and non-U.S. economic and political conditions, including a global economic slow-down, fluctuation of interest rates or currency exchange rates, terrorism, political unrest or international conflicts, political instability, or major health concerns, natural disasters, commodity prices or other disruptions of expected economic and business conditions. These risk factors should be considered in addition to our cautionary comments concerning forward-looking statements in this Report, including statements related to markets for our products and trends in our business that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Our separate section in Item 7 below, “Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,”above, "CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION," should be considered in addition to the following statements.

Although the global economy showed mild signs of recovery in late 2009, a further downturn could materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows againOur.

        Although we began to see some signs of improvement in late 2009, the global economy remains fragile. The global economic recession that began in late 2008 and continued through 2009 had a significant adverse impact on our business, customers and suppliers. If the global economy were to take another significant downturn, depending upon the length, duration and severity of such a so-called "double-dip" recession, our results of operations, financial condition and cash flow would almost certainly be materially adversely affected again. Specifically, our revenues would likely decrease, we may be forced to consider further restructuring actions, we may need to increase our allowance for doubtful accounts, our days sales outstanding may increase and we could experience impairments to assets of certain of our businesses.

The discovery of any significant problems with our new EPA compliant engine platforms in North America could materially adversely impact our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

        We have received EPA and CARB certification for our heavy-duty ISX15 and mid-range ISB6.7, ISC8.3 and ISL9 engines which went into commercial production in early 2010. Certification of these engines confirms that our 2010 engine line-up for on-highway applications meets the near zero emissions levels required for all engines manufactured in 2010. The launch of these new platforms, which includes the introduction of SCR technology, will impact a number of our operating segments and is affected bycrucial to our success in North America. Although these engine platforms have undergone extensive testing and we believe that they are ready for production, the cyclical naturediscovery of any significant problems in these platforms could result in delays in our product launches, recall campaigns, increased warranty costs, reputational risk and brand risk.

We may need to write off significant investments in our new light-duty diesel engine platforms if customer commitments further deteriorate.

        We began development of a new light-duty diesel engine platform in July 2006 to be used in a variety of on- and off-highway applications. Since that time, and as of December 31, 2009, we have capitalized investments of approximately $216 million. Market uncertainty due to the global recession has resulted in some customers delaying or cancelling their vehicle programs, while others remain on schedule. If customer expectations or volume projections further deteriorate from our current levels and we do not identify new customers, we may need to recognize an impairment charge and write the asset down to net realizable value.

We are vulnerable to supply shortages from single-sourced suppliers.

        For 2009, we single sourced approximately 70 to 80 percent of the markets we serve.total types of parts in our product designs. Any delay in our suppliers' deliveries may adversely affect our operations at multiple manufacturing locations, forcing us to seek alternative supply sources to avoid serious disruptions. Delays may be caused by factors affecting our suppliers, including capacity constraints, labor disputes, economic downturns, availability of credit, the impaired financial condition of a particular supplier, suppliers' allocations to other purchasers, weather emergencies or acts of war or terrorism. Any extended delay in receiving critical supplies could impair our ability to deliver products to our customers.

Government regulation could adversely affect our business.

Our financial performance depends, in large part, on varying conditions in the markets and geographies that we serve. Demand in these markets and geographies fluctuates in response to overall economic conditions and is particularly sensitive to changes in interest rate levels. Our sales are also impacted by OEM inventory levels and production schedules and stoppages. Economic downturns in the markets we serve generally result in reductions in sales and pricing of our products, which could reduce future earnings and cash flow.

Our products are subject to substantial government regulation.

Our engines are subject to extensive statutory and regulatory requirements governing emissions and noise, including standards imposed by the EPA, the European Union, state regulatory agencies, such as the CARB,California Air Resources Board ("CARB") and other regulatory agencies around the world. We have made, and will be required to continue to make, significant capital and research expenditures to comply with these regulatory standards. Developing engines to meet changing government regulatory requirements, with different implementation timelines and emissions requirements, makes developing engines efficiently for multiple markets complicated and could result in substantial additional costs that may be difficult to recover in certain markets. In some cases, we may be required to develop new products to comply with new regulations, particularly those relating to air emissions. For example, we were required to develop new engines to comply with stringent emissions standards in the U.S. by January 1, 2007.2010. While we were able to meet this deadline,and previous deadlines, our ability to comply with other existing and future regulatory standards will be essential for us to maintain our position in the engine markets we serve. Currently, we believe we are on schedule to meet all deadlines for known future regulatory standards.

We have made, and will be required to continue to make, significant capital and research expenditures to comply with these regulatory standards. Further, the successful development and introduction of new and enhanced products in order to comply with new regulatory requirements are subject to other risks, such as delays in product development, cost over-runs and unanticipated technical and manufacturing difficulties.

Greenhouse gas legislation or regulation could adversely affect our business.

        There is growing consensus that some form of U.S. federal legislation and/or regulation may be forthcoming with respect to regulating manufacturers' greenhouse gas emissions. Any failure to comply with regulatory standards affecting our productssuch regulation could subjectresult in the imposition on us to fines of significant additional costs in the form of taxes, manufacturing restrictions and/or penalties, and could require us to cease productionemission allowances.

mandate or standard. We are at risk for product recall costs. Product recall costs are incurred when we decide, either voluntarily or involuntarily,unable to recall a product through a formal campaign to solicit the return of specific products due to a known predict whether and/or suspected performance issue. Costs typically include the cost of the product, part or component being replaced, customer cost of the recall and labor to remove and replace the defective part or component. When a recall decision is made, we estimate the cost of the recall and record a charge to earnings in that period in accordance with FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 5,  “Accounting for Contingencies.”  In making this estimate, judgment is required as to the quantity or volume to be recalled, the total cost of the recall campaign, the ultimate negotiated sharing of the cost between us and the customer and, in some cases, the extent to which any of these potential requirements will be enacted or imposed upon us.

Our products are exposed to variability in material and commodity costs.

        Our businesses establish prices with our customers in accordance with contractual time frames; however, the suppliertiming of market price increases may prevent us from passing these additional costs on to our customers through timely pricing actions. Additionally, higher material and commodity costs around the part or componentworld may offset our efforts to reduce our cost structure. While we customarily enter into financial transactions to address some of these risks, there can be no assurance that commodity price fluctuations will sharenot adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

In addition, while the use of currency hedging instruments may provide us with protection from adverse fluctuations in currency exchange rates, by utilizing these instruments we potentially forego the benefits that might result from favorable fluctuations in currency exchange rates.

        We also face risks arising from the imposition of exchange controls and currency devaluations. Exchange controls may limit our ability to convert foreign currencies into U.S. dollars or to remit dividends and other payments by our foreign subsidiaries or businesses located in or conducted within a country imposing controls. Currency devaluations result in a diminished value of funds denominated in the currency of the country instituting the devaluation.

Further deterioration in the North American and European automotive industries could adversely impact our business.

Several        A number of companies in the global automotive industry continue to experience financial difficulties. In North America, General Motors Corporation ("GM"), Ford Motor Company and Chrysler Group, LLC ("Chrysler") have experienced declining markets; furthermore, GM and Chrysler have filed for, and then exited, bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the U.S. bankruptcy code and have accepted substantial monetary infusions from the United States government. Automakers across Europe and Japan are also experiencing difficulties from a weakened economy and tightening credit markets.

        We sponsor both funded and unfunded domestic and foreign defined benefit pension and other retirement plans. Our pension expense and the required contributions to our pension plans are directly affected by the value of plan assets, the projected and actual rates of return on plan assets and the actuarial assumptions we use to measure our defined benefit pension plan obligations, including the discount rate at which future projected and accumulated pension obligations are discounted to a present value. We could experience increased pension expense due to a combination of factors, including the decreased investment performance of pension plan assets, decreases in the discount rate and changes in our assumptions relating to the expected return on plan assets.

        Significant declines in future financial and stock market conditions could cause material losses in our pension plan assets, which could result in increased pension expense in future years and adverse changes to our financial condition. We may be legally required to make contributions to our U.S. pension plans in the future, and these contributions could be material. In addition, if local legal authorities increase the minimum funding requirements for our pension plans outside the U.S., we could be required to contribute more funds.

Our business results of operations and financial condition.

We may be adversely impacted by work stoppages and other labor matters.

As of December 31, 2006, we employed approximately 34,600 persons worldwide. Approximately 13,500 of our employees worldwide are represented by various unions under collective bargaining agreements with various unions that expire between 2007 and 2011. While we have no reasonis exposed to believe that we will be impacted by work stoppages and other labor matters, we cannot assure that future issues with our labor unions will be resolved favorably or that we will not encounter future strikes, further unionization efforts or other types of conflicts with labor unions or our employees. Any of these factors may have an adverse effect on us or may limit our flexibility in dealing with our workforce. In addition, many of our customers have unionized work forces. Work stoppages or slow-downs experienced by our customers could result in slow-downs or closures at vehicle assembly plants where our engines are installed. If one or more of our customers experience a material work stoppage, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our products involve risks of exposure to product liability claims.claims.

We face an inherent business risk of exposure to product liability claims in the event that our products’products' failure to perform to specificationsspecification results, or is alleged to result, in property damage, bodily injury and/or death. We may experience material product liability losses in the future. While we maintain insurance coverage with respect to certain product liability claims, we may not be able to obtain such insurance on acceptable terms in the future, if at all, and any such insurance may not provide adequate coverage against product liability claims. In addition, product liability claims can be expensive to defend and can divert the attention of management and other personnel for significant periods of time, regardless of the ultimate outcome. An unsuccessful defense of a significant product liability claim could have a material adverse affect on our business, results of operations and financial condition and cash flows.effect upon us. In addition, even if we are successful in defending against a claim relating to our products, claims of this nature could cause our customers to lose confidence in our products and us.

Our products are subject to recall for performance-related issues.

        Our products may be subject to recall for performance-related or safety-related issues. Product recalls subject us to harm to our reputation, loss of current and future customers, reduced revenue and product recall costs. Product recall costs are incurred when we decide, either voluntarily or involuntarily, to recall a product through a formal campaign to solicit the return of specific products due to a known or suspected performance issue.

Our truck manufacturers and OEM customers may not continue to outsource their engine supply needs.

        Several of our engine customers, including PACCAR Inc., Volvo AB and Chrysler, are truck manufacturers or OEMs that manufacture engines for some of their own products. Despite their engine manufacturing abilities, these customers have historically chosen to outsource certain types of engine production to us due to the quality of our engine products, our emissions capability, our systems integration, their customers' preferences, their desire for cost reductions, their desire for eliminating production risks and their desire to maintain company focus. However, there can be no assurance that these customers will continue to outsource, or outsource as much of, their engine production in the future. Increased levels of OEM vertical integration could result from a number of factors, such as shifts in our customers' business strategies, acquisition by a customer of another engine manufacturer, the inability of third-party suppliers to meet product specifications and the emergence of low-cost production opportunities in foreign countries. Any significant reduction in the level of engine production outsourcing from our truck manufacturer or OEM customers could have a material adverse effect upon us.

Our operations are subject to extensive environmental laws and regulations.regulations.

Our plants and operations are subject to increasingly stringent environmental laws and regulations in all of the countries in which we operate, including laws and regulations governing air emissions, to air, discharges to water and the generation, handling, storage, transportation, treatment and disposal of waste materials. While we believe that we are in compliance in all material respects with these environmental laws and regulations, we cannot assurethere can be no assurance that we will not be adversely impacted by costs, liabilities or claims with respect to existing or subsequently acquired operations, under either present laws and regulations or those that may be adopted or imposed in the future. We are also subject to laws requiring the cleanup of contaminated property. If a release of hazardous substances occurs at or from any of our current or former properties or at a landfill or another location where we have disposed of hazardous materials, we may be held liable for the contamination and the amount of such liability could be material.

We are exposedrely on income from investees that we do not directly control.

        Our net income includes significant equity, royalty and interest income from investees that we do not directly control. For 2009, we recognized $214 million of equity, royalty and interest income from investees. The majority of our equity, royalty and interest income from investees comes from our 13 unconsolidated North American distributors, and from two of our joint ventures in China, Dongfeng Cummins Engine Company, Ltd. ("DCEC") and Chongqing Cummins Engine Company, Ltd. ("CCEC"). Our equity ownership interests in our unconsolidated North American distributors generally range from 30 percent to political, economic and other risks that arise from operating a multinational business.

Approximately50 percent. We have 50 percent equity ownership interests in DCEC and CCEC. As a result, although a significant percentage of our net sales for 2006 were attributableincome is derived from these unconsolidated entities, we do not unilaterally control their management or operations, which put a substantial portion of our net income at risk from the actions or inactions of these other entities. A significant reduction in the level of contribution by these entities to customers outsideour net income would likely have a material adverse effect upon us.

·       tax rates in certain foreign countries that exceeddiffer from those in the United StatesU.S. Although we strive to select joint venture partners who share our values and understand our reporting requirements as a U.S. domiciled company and to ensure that an appropriate business culture exists within these ventures to minimize and mitigate our risk, we nonetheless face the reputational and legal risk that our joint venture partners will violate applicable laws, rules and business practices.

Unanticipated changes in our tax provisions, the adoption of new U.S. tax legislation or exposure to additional income tax liabilities could adversely affect our profitability.

        We are subject to ongoing tax audits in various U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. Tax authorities may disagree with certain tax reporting positions taken by us and, as a result, assess additional taxes against us. We regularly assess the likely outcomes of these audits in order to determine the appropriateness of our tax provision. However, there can be no assurance that we will accurately predict the outcomes of these audits, and the impositionamounts ultimately paid upon resolution of withholding requirementsthese or subsequent tax audits could be materially different from the amounts previously included in our income tax expense and, therefore, could have a material impact on foreign earnings;our tax provision.

These sites and our estimated exposure are as follows: the Operating Industries, Inc. Site in Monterey Park, CA ($211,000), the Casmalia Site in Santa Barbara, CA ($150,000) and the Double Eagle Refinery Site in Oklahoma City, OK ($100,000). In addition to these three sites, we have been contacted as a possible PRP at 14 other sites. At several of these sites, we have had no follow-up contact from the relevant regulatory agencies since an initial communication in the early to mid-1990s. We believe our liability at these 14 other sites would be de minimis absent the imposition of liabilities that otherwise would be the responsibility of other PRPs. More information with respect to our environmental exposure can be found under “Environmental Compliance-Other Environmental Statutes and Regulations.” We deny liability with respect to many of these legal actions and environmental proceedings and are vigorously defending such actions or proceedings.

During the fourth quarter of 2006,2009, we repurchased 47462,937 shares of common stock 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.

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, and emissions solutions,exhaust aftertreatment, fuel systems, controls and air handling systems. We sell our products to Original Equipment Manufacturersoriginal 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 DaimlerChryslerAG (DaimlerChrysler), PACCAR Inc., International Truck and Engine Corporation (Navistar International Corporation),Daimler Trucks North America, Chrysler Group, LLC, Volvo AB, CNH Global N.V., Tata Motors Ltd., Ford Volkswagen, Dongfeng Motor Company, Komatsu, MAN Nutzfahrzeuge AG (formerly Volkswagen) and Scania AB.Case New Holland. We serve our customers through a network of more than 550500 company-owned and independent distributor locations and approximately 5,0005,200 dealer locations in more than 160190 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. This type of reporting structureserves 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 RVs,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 sellingwhich sells engines, generator sets and alternators and providing rental of power equipment for both standby and prime power uses.alternators. The Components segment includes sales ofsells 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.levels and our customers' access to credit. Our sales may also be impacted by OEM inventory levels and production schedules and work stoppages also impact our sales.stoppages. Economic downturns in the markets we serve

generally result in reducedreductions 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.

        The global economic downturn in 2009 extensively challenged most of our businesses and the markets in which affectthey operate. All of our profitsoperating segments incurred double digit declines in net sales and cash flow.three business units incurred a decrease in EBIT ranging from 44 percent to 56 percent. Our joint ventures throughout the world also experienced severe downturns in operating results causing income from equity investees to decline 15 percent. We experienced significant decreases in market demand for many of our products. The challenging worldwide economy impacted all of our business units in different ways. Our Power Generation and Distribution businesses, which have longer lead times, began to see declines in 2009 while our other businesses started to experience declines in the second half of 2008, especially in the fourth quarter. Demand in most of our markets around the world appears to have reached bottom and we believe those markets have stabilized at these lower levels. We are also subjectseeing improvements in emerging markets including China, India and Brazil. The economy in the United States (U.S.), while showing some signs of recovery, still remains fragile and unemployment continues to substantial government regulationremain high. In the second half of 2009, we experienced increased sales in our global engine markets and in North America, we experienced a temporary increase in engine (and related component) demand prior to the 2010 emissions standard change. The increased demand was consistent with sales trends we observed in prior emissions implementations and was the primary reason for sales to U.S. markets increasing to 48 percent of total net sales in 2009, compared with 41 percent of total net sales in 2008. Throughout the year, we took actions to align our businesses with reduced customer demand, particularly in the first nine months of 2009. These actions included global workforce reductions and closing certain manufacturing operations. Costs associated with these restructuring actions, in conjunction with significantly reduced demand and volumes, negatively impacted our operating results in 2009 compared to 2008 and 2007 results. At the same time, we took actions which requiresenabled us to make significant investmentsend the year with a stronger balance sheet. We closely monitored our receivables and customer relationships, reduced inventories 25 percent, reduced capital expenditures 43 percent and increased our cash and marketable securities by over $0.6 billion, generating over $1.1 billion in cash from operations. At the same time, we lowered our debt to capital ratio, maintained our credit ratings, improved our pension funding through increased contributions and research that also impactsstrong returns and our profits and cash flow.$1.1 billion line of credit remains unused.

We continued our strong performances        As a result of the past two years into 2006temporary increase in sales in the second half of 2009, and the challenging economy, we expect new Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) emission compliant engine and component demand will be weak in the first half of 2010. Excluding the emerging markets, we expect overall demand in most of our businesses to remain at relatively low levels for the first half of 2010.

        While we expect overall demand for most of our products to be weak in the first half of 2010, with some improvements in demand in emerging markets, the actions that we initiated in late 2008 and throughout 2009 will continue to enable us to navigate through the challenging economic environment and will position us to respond to market conditions when and where they improve. Our short term priorities remain:

·       In July 2006, we announced that we had reached agreement with a major automotive manufacturer serving the North American market to produce and market a light-duty, diesel-powered engine. In October 2006, we announced that we would use an existing facility for production of this new engine platform and that DaimlerChrysler was our significant customer. As a part of the agreement, we will develop and manufacture a family of high-performance, light-duty diesel engines for a variety of on-highway applications in vehicles below 8,500 pounds gross vehicle weight, including standard pickup trucks, like the Dodge Ram 1500, and sport utility vehicles, as well as industrial applications. The first vehicles with this engine are expected to be ready for market by the end of the decade.

·       In August 2006, our first technical center in China was opened in Wuhan City. The East Asia Technical Center, a 55/45 consolidated joint venture between Cummins and Dongfeng Cummins Engine Company Limited (DCEC), will provide engineering and technical development services for the full range of Cummins products built in China, including diesel and natural gas engines, power generators, turbochargers and filtration products. A series of projects has already started in the technical center, including the development of a new 13-liter engine platform for the heavy-duty truck market served by DCEC.

Business Divestiture

·       On September 22, 2006, we announced that we had reached an agreement to sell our SEG GmbH subsidiary (SEG) based in Kempen, Germany to Woodward Governor Company. The sale closedOur 2008 warranty expense included $117 million recorded in the fourth quarter for approximately $35 million and resulted in a pre-tax gain of approximately $9 million. SEG, which is a part of our Power Generation segment, specializesassociated with increases in the design and manufacturing of measurement, control and protectionestimated warranty liability primarily for certain mid-range engine products launched in 2007. The accrual rates in 2009 for power generation systems with an emphasis on the wind power generation segment. Total assets of SEGthese related engine products were approximately $42 million at the date of the transaction and $39 million at December 31, 2005, which is lesshigher than 1those recorded in 2008 before this change in estimate. As such, our warranty as a percent of our total assets at those dates. Total sales of SEG were approximately $51 million and $72 million, for the ten months ended October 31, 2006 and for the year ended December 31, 2005, respectively, which is less than 1 percent of our total net sales for these engine families is higher on products sold in 2009 than it was in 2008. Overall, our relative product mix also impacted the rate as a percent of sales when comparing these two periods.

Net Sales

Net sales increased in all segments. Engine sales were up $854 million, or 13 percent, due to strong demand from heavy and medium-duty truck OEMs, higher engine volumes for industrial applications and increased shipments of light-duty engines. Engine and part sales to on-highway markets were 12 percent higher compared to last year with increased volumes in most market segments. Power Generation sales increased $417 million, or 21 percent, due to increased demand across all product lines. Components sales increased $281 million, or 14 percent, due to increased sales within all of our Components businesses. Distribution sales increased $194 million, or 16 percent, primarily due to increased demand for power generation products followed by increased parts, service and engine volumes. See our “Operating Segment Results” section for further details on sales by segment.


Gross Margin

Gross margin improved primarily due to increased sales, the related absorption benefits on fixed manufacturing costs, and changeslower interest rates in sales mix, all of which increased gross margin by $395 million. In addition, $94 million in price realization, net of increased product costs, improved gross margin in the current year2009 compared to the prior year. These increases in margin were partially offset by increased warranty expenses of $53 million, primarily as a result of the increased volumes as well as increased spending of $43 million for new product introductions and ramp-up.2008.

Warranty expense as a percent of sales increased slightly to 2.8 percent in 2006 compared to 2.7 percent in 2005.

Selling and Administrative Expenses

Selling and administrative expenses increased primarily due to incremental staffing and higher compensation and related expenses of approximately $64 million, which included salaries, variable compensation and fringe benefits, as a result of our improved financial performance. Other factors affecting selling and administrative expenses included increased consulting fees and other outside services of $33 million, increased marketing and administrative expenses of $18 million and increased travel expenses of $16 million. The remaining change in selling and administrative expenses is due to a combination of increases in various other miscellaneous expenses, none of which were significant individually, partially offset by a favorable foreign currency impact. Overall selling and administrative expenses were 11.3 percent of sales in 2006 compared to 11.5 percent of sales in 2005.

Research and Engineering Expenses

Research and engineering expenses increased primarily due to increased compensation expense and consulting and outside services, as well as higher spending on development programs for future products. We had significant research and engineering expenses across the Engine and Components segments related to new product development for 2007 and beyond as well as research and engineering expenses for growth platforms across geographies. The Engine segment accounted for $24 million of the increase in research and engineering expenses along with an increase in the Components segment of $12 million. Fluctuations in other miscellaneous research and development expenses were not significant individually or in the aggregate.

Investee Equity, Royalty and Other Income

Investee equity, royalty and other income increased slightly primarily due to an increase in earnings at several of our equity investees, led by an $18 million increase in earnings from our North American distributors, a $6 million increase in earnings from Tata Cummins Ltd. and a $3 million increase in earnings from CCEC. These increases were partially offset, by a $17 million decrease in earnings from Dongfeng Cummins Engine Company, Ltd. (DCEC), as a result of weakness in the medium-duty truck market, due to the continuous tonnage upgrade of China’s truck industry.

Other Operating Expenses, Net

The major components of other operating expense are royalty income, amortization of intangible assets and gain or loss on sale of fixed assets. The 2006 results include a $9 million gain on the sale of SEG and a legal settlement of approximately $3 million. In addition, royalty income decreased by approximately $4 million in 2006. Fluctuations in other miscellaneous operating expenses and income, none of which were material, resulted in an additional $2 million of other operating expense.


Interest Income

Interest income increased primarily due to higher average cash balances in 2006 compared to 2005. The higher average cash balances are due to increased earnings and stronger cash flows from operations in 2006.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased primarily due to lower debt balances in 2006declining short-term interest rates.

Income Tax Expense

        Our income and expenses, none of which were individually significant.

Provision for Income Taxes

Our tax rates are generally less than the 35 percent U.S. income tax rate primarily because of lower taxes on foreign earnings export tax benefits and research tax credits.

Our effective tax rate for 20062009 was 29.9 percent.24.4 percent compared to 30.6 percent for 2008. The decrease is due to tax on foreign earnings, which are subject to lower tax rates, and an increase in research tax credits. Our 2009 income tax provision for 2006 was impacted byalso includes a $12$29 million or $0.23 per share, increase in the first quarter for the effect of new Indiana tax legislation, and a $28 million, or $0.55 per share, reduction in the second quarter due to the favorable resolution of tax uncertainties related to prior years and by a $10 million, or $0.20 per share,(4.5 percent) reduction in the fourth quarter duerelated to the retroactive reinstatementadjustments to deferred tax accounts. We released $19 million (3.0 percent) of deferred tax liabilities on foreign earnings, now considered to be permanently reinvested outside the U.S. researchand recorded a deferred tax credit. Our effective tax rate for 2005 was 27.1 percent. Our 2005 provision was reduced by $16asset of $10 million for the tax benefits of foreign dividend distributions which qualified for a special 85 percent deduction under The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 and by $8 million due(1.5 percent) related to the favorable resolution in the fourth quarter of 2005 of prior year tax positions which had been in dispute.period matters.

We expect our 20072010 effective tax rate to be 3332 percent excluding any discrete items that may arise. The Jobs Act phases outresearch tax credit expired December 31, 2009 and has not yet been renewed by Congress. If the exportresearch credit is extended, we would anticipate the 2010 effective tax benefits (reduced 20 percent for 2005, 40 percent for 2006 and repealed thereafter) that have been a key factorrate to drop to 30 percent.

Noncontrolling Interests

        Noncontrolling interests eliminate the income or loss attributable to non-Cummins ownership interests in our low tax rate. Export benefits are replaced withconsolidated entities. Noncontrolling interests decreased primarily due to lower income of $8 million at Cummins India Limited, a new U.S. manufacturer’s tax deduction which began phasingpublicly traded company at various exchanges in startingIndia, as a result of the decline in 2005. However, we do not expectdemand due to the manufacturer’s deductionglobal economic downturn. There were no other individual fluctuations in the subsidiaries that were significant.

Minority Interests in Earnings of Consolidated Subsidiaries

Minority interest is primarily        Net income attributable to Cummins India Ltd.

Outlook

Near-Term:

        Many of the total minority interestmarkets we serve have slowed significantly as a result of the credit crisis and the challenging global economic environment; however, demand in 2006. Earningsmost of our markets appears to have reached bottom and we are seeing signs that markets have stabilized at these three subsidiarieslevels. We are also seeing improvement in emerging markets including China, India and Brazil. Consistent with prior emissions standards implementation, the North American on-highway markets experienced increased this year resulting in a combined increase in minority interest of $7 million for 2006 compared to 2005. In addition, earnings at SEG GmbH & Co. KG, a 51 percent owned subsidiarydemand prior to its salethe implementation of the EPA's 2010 emissions standards. Based on our prior experience we expect EPA 2010 engine and component sales to on-highway OEM customers to be very weak in the fourth quarterfirst half of 2006, improved resulting2010. In most of our other markets we expect demand to remain stable with current levels for the first half of 2010, while we expect emerging markets to have sales comparable to 2008 levels.

Long-Term:

        While there is uncertainty in the near-term market as a $3 million year-over-year increase in minority interests. The remainderresult of the consolidated partially-owned subsidiaries had a combination of immaterial increasescurrent economic conditions and decreasesmarket dynamics surrounding the EPA 2010 emissions standards change, we are confident that opportunities for long-term growth and profitability will continue in earnings.the future.

Benefits from increased demand for commercial generator sets, generator drives,pricing and alternators,a more favorable volume/mix of products sold were partially offset by a moderate decreasehigher material costs reflecting the increase in rental revenuecommodity prices during the year and a slight decreasehigher warranty expense. Our warranty expense reflected favorable warranty experience for some engine products and our provision related to sales in 2008 was 2.9 percent of sales, to the consumer market. Components sales increased $217 million, or 12down from 3.1 percent primarily reflecting increased demand from first-fit OEMs and the aftermarket channel. Distribution sales increased $218 million, or 22 percent, primarily due to increased demand for engines and power generation products internationally and sales growth from distributor acquisitions. See our “Operating Segment Results and Outlook” section for further details on sales by segment.

Gross Margin

Gross margin improved primarily due to increased sales, the related absorption benefits on fixed manufacturing costs, and changes in sales mix, all of which increased gross margin by $453 million. In addition, pricing actions of $145 million in 2005 enabled us to2007. This result was more than offset by negative trends primarily in certain mid-range engine products launched in 2007 for which we recorded additional warranty liability of approximately $117 million in the increased material costsfourth quarter of steel and other commodities2008.

In addition, incremental staffing addedsales increased to the10.1 percent in 2008 from 9.9 percent in 2007.

Research, Development and Engineering Expenses

        Research, development and engineering expenses increased significantly, primarily due to higher spending on development programs for future products including increased headcount, compensation and related expenses. ShippingCompensation and handling costs increased by approximately $11 million due to increased sales volumes. Other factors increasing sellingrelated expenses include salaries, variable compensation and administrative expenses to a lesser extent included marketing and administrative expenses, consulting fees andfringe benefits.

Research and Engineering Expenses

Research and engineering expenses increased primarily due to increased compensation expense and consulting and outside services, as well as higher spending on prototype development programs for future products. The Engine segment accounted for $38 million of the increase in research and engineering expenses along with a slight increase in the Components segment, offset by a slight decrease in the Power Generation segment. Other miscellaneous research and development expenses increased as well, however they were not significant individually or in the aggregate.

The major components of other operating expenses are royalty income, amortization of intangible assets and loss on sale of fixed assets. The fluctuation from 2004 to 2005 was primarily due to a decrease in the loss on sale of fixed assets.

Interest Income

Interest income increased primarily due to higher average cash balancesincome from a joint venture which we formed in 2005 comparedthe fourth quarter of 2007. DCEC sales increased largely due to 2004. Theprebuy activity in the first half of 2008 prior to a mid-year emissions change. CCEC increased cash balances areprimarily due to increased earnings and stronger cash flows from operations in 2005.

Interest Expense

Interest expense on debt in 2005 was lower due to the repayment of long-term debtsignificant deterioration in the first quarter. The lower interest expense on debtrecreational marine market and increased research, development and engineering expenses.

Other Operating (Expense) Income, Net

        Other operating (expense) income was partially offset by increased interest expense on capital leases related to power generation equipment due to the conversion of operating leases to capital leases in late 2004.as follows:

The major components of other expense include foreign currency exchange gains and losses, bank charges and other miscellaneous expenses. The increase in other expense in 2005 compared to 2004 is primarily due to an increase in foreign currency exchange losses and a decrease in the gain on sale of marketable securities. These increases to other expense were partially offset by write-downs of investments in 2004 that did not recur in 2005.


Provision for Income Taxes

The higher 2005 tax provision of 27.1 percent reflects the increase in earnings before taxes. Our 2005 provisionfixed assets was reduced by $16 million for the tax benefits of foreign dividend distributions which qualified for a special 85 percent deduction under The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 and by $8 millionprimarily due to the favorable resolution$10 million gain on the sale of Universal Silencer in 2007.

(2)
The increase in amortization of other intangibles was primarily due to amortization of purchased premiums related to the acquisition of a North American distributor in 2008.

Interest Income

        Interest income decreased primarily due to lower average cash balances in 2008 compared to 2007.

Interest Expense

        Interest expense decreased primarily due to declining short-term interest rates and a benefit from our interest rate swap.

Income Tax Expense

        Our income tax positions which had been in dispute. Excluding these unusual or nonrecurring benefits, our 2005 effective tax rate was 30.1 percent. This rate was lowerrates are generally less than the 35 percent U.S. income tax rate primarily because of U.S. export tax benefits and research tax credits along with lower taxes on foreign earnings especiallyand research tax credits. Our effective tax rate for 2008 was 30.6 percent compared to 32.6 percent for 2007. The decrease is primarily due to greater foreign joint venture equity earnings recorded netin 2008, which are subject to lower tax rates. Our 2008 income tax provision also included a $10 million (0.8 percent) reduction in the fourth quarter due to the legislative reinstatement of foreign taxes.the U.S. research tax credit.

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

        Net income attributable to Cummins Inc. and diluted earnings per share attributable to Cummins Inc. increased primarily due to higher volumes, improved margins, higher equity income and a lower effective tax rate. These two subsidiaries accountincreases were partially offset by warranty expense, restructuring charges and investment losses primarily occurring during the fourth quarter of 2008, in addition to unfavorable foreign currency effects.


RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER CHARGES

2009 Restructuring Actions

        In 2009, we executed restructuring actions in response to a reduction in orders in most of our U.S. and foreign markets due to the continuing deterioration in the global economy. We reduced our global workforce by approximately 1,000 professional employees. In addition, we took numerous employee


Table of Contents


actions at many of our manufacturing locations, including approximately 3,200 hourly employees, significant downsizing at numerous facilities and complete closure of several facilities and branch distributor locations. Employee termination and severance costs were recorded based on approved plans developed by the businesses and corporate management which specified positions to be eliminated, benefits to be paid under existing severance plans, union contracts or statutory requirements and the expected timetable for over seventycompletion of the plan. Estimates of restructuring were made based on information available at the time charges were recorded. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved, actual amounts paid for such activities may differ from amounts initially recorded and we may need to revise previous estimates.

        We incurred $2 million of restructuring expenses for lease terminations and $5 million of restructuring expenses for asset impairments in response to closures and downsizing noted above. During 2009, we recorded a total pre-tax restructuring charge of $85 million, comprising $90 million of charges related to 2009 actions net of the $3 million favorable change in estimate related to 2008 actions and the $2 million favorable change in estimate related to earlier 2009 actions, in "Restructuring and other charges" in ourConsolidated Statements of Income.

        At December 31, 2009, of the approximately 4,200 employees affected by this plan, all terminations were substantially complete. If the 2009 restructuring actions are successfully implemented, we expect the annualized savings from the professional actions to be approximately $50 million. Our charge related to the professional actions was approximately $30 million. Approximately 40 percent of the total minority interestsavings from the restructuring actions will be realized in 2005.cost of sales, 45 percent in selling, general and administrative expenses and 15 percent in research, development and engineering expenses. We expect the accrual to be paid in cash which will be funded with cash generated from operations.

2008 Restructuring Actions

        We executed restructuring actions primarily in the form of voluntary and involuntary separation programs in the fourth quarter of 2008. These actions were in response to the continued deterioration in our U.S. businesses and most key markets around the world in the second half of 2008, as well as a reduction in orders in most U.S. and global markets for 2009. We reduced our worldwide professional workforce by approximately 650 employees, or 4.5 percent. We offered a voluntary retirement package to certain active professional employees in the U.S. based on a clearly defined set of criteria. We also took voluntary and involuntary actions which included approximately 800 hourly employees, the majority of which received severance benefits. The compensation packages contained salary and continuation of benefits, including health care, life insurance and outplacement services. The voluntary retirement package was accepted by approximately 150 employees. The remaining professional reductions of 500 employees were involuntary. The expenses recorded during the year ended December 31, 2008, included severance costs related to both voluntary and involuntary terminations. During 2008, we incurred a pre-tax charge related to the professional and hourly restructuring initiatives of approximately $37 million.

        Employee termination and severance costs were recorded based on approved plans developed by the businesses and corporate management which specified positions to be eliminated, benefits to be paid under existing severance plans or statutory requirements and the expected timetable for completion of the increase in minority interests was attributable to a combinationplan.

        At December 31, 2008, of the approximately 1,450 employees affected by this plan, 1,250 had been terminated. All terminations were substantially complete as of December 31, 2009. We expect the 2008 restructuring actions to yield approximately $45 million to $50 million in annual savings from professional actions. Approximately 41 percent of the savings from the restructuring actions will be

OPERATING SEGMENT RESULTS AND OUTLOOK

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. This type of reporting structureserves 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 RVs, 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 sellingwhich sells engines, generator sets and alternators and providing rental of power equipment for both standby and prime power uses.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 OEMs.

We use segment EBIT (defined as earnings before interest expense, taxes and minoritynoncontrolling interests) as a primary basis for the chief operating decision-maker 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 ourConsolidated Financial Statements. We prepared the financial results of our operating segments on a


Table of Contents

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.accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (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 service costs or credits, minimum pension liabilitiesrestructuring and other charges, investment gains or losses, flood damage gains or losses, or income taxes to individual segments. Segment EBIT may not be consistent with measures used by other companies.

We made certain leadership changes effective May 2, 2005, within our management team. In connection with these changes, certain modifications were made to our internal reporting. These modifications are summarized below:

·       The Filtration and Other segment was renamed the Components segment and now includes operating results of the fuel systems business which were previously included in the Engine segment. Historically, the fuel systems business transferred product within the Engine segment at cost. Beginning in the third quarter of 2005, those transfers now use a cost-plus based transfer price. As a result of this change, segment EBIT increased for the Components segment and decreaseddata for the Engine segment but there was no impact to consolidated earnings. Revenues of the Components segment were also increased to reflect transfers to the Engine segment and eliminations were increased by a corresponding amount.

·       The North American distribution business was combined with the International Distribution segment and renamed the Distribution segment. Previously, the North American distribution business was reported in the Engine and Power Generation segments as equity from investees and included the results of a partially-owned distributor that is consolidated. As a result, revenues of the Engine segment were increased to reflect sales to the consolidated distributor that were previously eliminated and decreased for the revenues of the consolidated distributor which are now includedfollows:

in the Distribution segment. In addition, this change also caused earnings from equity investees in the Engine and Power Generation segments to decrease while earnings from equity investees in the Distribution segment increased by a corresponding amount.

Due to the extent of intersegment sales activity and certain seasonality in inventory levels during the year, we have presented the elimination of intersegment profit in inventory resulting from intersegment transactions in the non-segment items column of our segment reporting (see Note 21 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). This presentation better aligns segment revenues with segment costs and presents segment EBIT as if each segment was an independent, stand-alone entity.

The increase in net sales for this segment was primarily due to strong demand across most markets, particularly the North American heavy-duty truck market and stationary power due to the strong performance of our Power Generation segment, along with strong industrial market sales. Total on-highway-related sales were 63 percent of Engine segment net sales during 2006 and 2005.

The improvement in segment EBIT was primarily due to the higher engine volumes across all major markets, the accompanying gross margin benefits of higher absorption of fixed manufacturing costs, improved pricing and manufacturing efficiencies, all of which resulted in a nearly one percentage point improvement in gross margin percentage in 2006 compared to last year. Gross margin increased $221 million, or 18 percent, in 2006 compared to last year. Selling and administrative expenses increased $61 million, or 11 percent, however selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased slightly. Research and engineering expenses increased $24 million, or 12 percent, compared to 2005 and remained flat as a percentage of net sales compared to last year.


In addition, earnings from joint ventures decreased $13 million compared with 2005, primarily due to a $17 million decrease in earnings at DCEC as a result of weakness in the medium-duty truck market, due to the continuous tonnage upgrade of China’s truck industry.

        The decrease in gross margin was primarily drivendue to lower engine volumes in most markets as a result of the global economic downturn, which was partially offset by increased sales in the U.S. in the fourth quarter of 2009 ahead of the January 1, 2010, emissions standards change, price improvements and by cost reduction activities at our manufacturing plants. Equity, royalty and interest income from investees decreased due to significantly lower demand at DCEC, Komatsu-Cummins Engine Company (KCEC) and Cummins MerCruiser Diesel Marine LLC. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses and research, development and engineering expenses was primarily due to lower discretionary spending, higher recovery of engineering expenses from third parties and decreased payroll costs as the result of restructuring actions.

2008 vs. 2007

Net Sales

        Engine segment sales increased compared to 2007. The following are the primary drivers by market.

    Heavy-duty sales increased primarily due to an increase in our market share in the North American (includes the U.S. and Canada and excludes Mexico) heavy-duty truck market as OEMs workmarkets, increased Mexican heavy-duty truck sales in the first six months of 2008 resulting from the pre-buy activity ahead of Mexico's July 1, 2008, new emissions requirements and weaker demand in the first six months of 2007 resulting from the 2006 pre-buy to meet growing demand from truck fleets replacingreplace trucks ahead of the 2007 changeemissions standards change.

    Industrial market sales increased primarily related to strength in emissions standards. Global unit shipments of heavy-dutycommercial marine and construction markets.

    Medium-duty truck engines were up 17 percentsales increased due to increased demand in 2006 comparedglobal medium-duty truck markets, primarily due to 2005, withour market share increases in the North American shipments up 18 percent and international shipments up 11 percent.

    Medium-Duty Truck and Bus

    The increase in medium-duty truck and bus revenues was duemarket, weaker demand in the first six months of 2007 resulting from the 2006 pre-buy to strong demandreplace trucks ahead of the 2007 change in emission standards and our growing market share position with North American OEMs in the medium duty truck and bus markets. Shipments of medium-duty truck engines were up 36 percent to North American OEMs and down 20 percent to international OEMs compared with 2005. Shipments to North American bus OEMs increased 56 percent in 2006 compared to 2005 while international shipments were down 10 percent. The increase in medium-duty truck and bus engine shipments in North America is due to our increased penetration in this market and an overall increase in demand ahead of the emission standard changes. The decrease in shipments to international medium-duty truck OEMs is primarily due to changes in emissions standards change and strong demand in Brazil to Euro III effective January 1, 2006. The decrease in international bus engine shipments year-over-year is due to a large purchase made in 2005 by a customer in China.

Light-Duty Automotive and RV

Sales of light-duty automotive engines increased as a result of higher volumes. Total light-duty automotive unit shipments were approximately 196,000 in 2006, an increase of 5 percent compared to 2005. The majority of the light-duty automotive and RV volumes was driven by demand from DaimlerChrysler with shipments of approximately 162,000 units, or a 1 percent increase compared to 2005. Engine shipments to recreational vehicle OEMs increased by nearly 33 percent in 2006 compared with 2005 due to new product introductions and growing penetration at key OEMs.

Industrial

Total sales were up in most industrial markets, primarily due to strong demand. Unit shipments increased 18 percent in 2006 compared to 2005. Approximately 52 percent of the shipments were to North American markets and 48 percent to international markets in 2006 compared to 56 percent and 44 percent, respectively, in 2005. The overall change in the geographic sales mix is due to the continued strength of the international construction market which is beingLatin America driven by strong demandeconomic conditions in the Middle East and Asia. Total shipments to the construction marketBrazil in 2008.

Stationary power sales increased 20 percent largely because international shipments increased 31 percent. Other markets showing significant increases in shipments were the mining market and the oil and gas market with increases of 10 percent and 39 percent, respectively. The mining market demand is up as the strength in commodity prices has been driving investment in mining capacity. The shipments to the oil and gas market have increased as sustained oil and natural gas prices continue to drive activity and investments in new equipment. In addition, we continue to penetrate this market further with the release of more engine platforms to this application. Other industrial markets had modest increases in shipments compared to 2005.

Stationary Power

The increase in sales to stationary power markets is due to the increased netprimarily from intersegment sales to our Power Generation segment. These netsegment, especially internationally.

Medium-duty bus sales are eliminated in our Consolidated Statements of Earnings. See the Power Generation Results and Outlook for a discussion of the increase in net sales.

The increase in net sales for this segment was primarilyincreased due to strong demand across all market sectors, particularly the light-duty automotive market with record engine sales to DaimlerChrysler, and the North American heavy-duty and medium-duty truck markets. Total on-highway-related engine sales were 63 percent of Engine segment net sales in 2005, compared with 65 percent in 2004.

The improvement in segment EBIT was primarily due to the higher engine volumes across all major markets, the accompanying gross margin benefits of higher absorption of fixed manufacturing costs, pricing and favorable foreign exchange impacts, all of which resulted in a two percentage point improvement in gross margin percentage over 2004. Gross margin increased $344 million, or 38 percent, over 2004. Selling and administrative expenses increased $63 million, or 13 percent, over 2004, however selling and


administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales improved almost a full percentage point. Research and engineering expenses increased $38 million, or 24 percent, compared to 2004 and remained flat as a percentage of net sales compared to the prior period.

In addition, earnings from joint ventures remained flat compared with 2004, due to higher earnings from several joint ventures, which were offset by a $7 million decrease in earnings at DCEC in reaction to changes in the regulatory environment.

Heavy-Duty Truck

The increase in sales to the heavy-duty truck market was primarily driven by the recoveryshare gains in the North American truck market as OEMs increased build ratesbus market.

We had a favorable impact from foreign currency translation.

        These increases were partially offset by a 50 percent decline in units sold to meet the growing demand from truck fleets replacing aging equipment and adding capacity. Unit shipments of heavy-duty truck engines were up 27 percent in 2005, compared to 2004, with North American shipments up 26 percent and international shipments up 33 percent.

Medium-Duty Truck and Bus

The increase in medium-duty truck and bus revenues isChrysler. This decline was due to increased shipments of medium-duty truck and bus enginesthe deteriorating demand for light duty trucks in North America as the result of the softening U.S. economy and internationally. Shipments of medium-duty truck engines were up 24 percent to North American OEMs and up 12 percent to international OEMs compared with 2004. The increase in medium-duty truck engine shipments was driven primarily by economic growth as demand in this market typically correlates with demandconcerns over fuel prices earlier in the heavy-duty market. Salesyear.


Table of bus engines and parts increasedContents

        Total on-highway-related sales were 53 percent of total Engine segment sales in 20052008, compared to 2004 due to strong demand from North American OEMs with shipments up 53 percent and international shipments up 48 percent. International shipments were up due to strong demand in Asia and Latin America, slightly offset by lower volumes in Europe.


Light-Duty Automotive

Sales of light-duty automotive engines increased as a result of higher volumes. Total unit shipments were 187,000 in 2005, an increase of 4 percent compared to 2004. Most of the increase in light-duty automotive sales was driven by continued demand from DaimlerChrysler with record shipments of 160,000 units, or a 4 percent increase compared to 2004. Engine shipments to RV OEMs remained flat in 2005 compared with 2004.

Industrial

Total sales were up in most industrial markets, primarily due to strong demand as the capital goods sector of the economy expanded. Unit shipments increased 24 percent year-over-year reflecting a slight change in sales mix to higher-priced engines. Approximately 56 percent of the shipments were to North American markets and 44 percent to international markets compared to 52 percent and 48 percent, respectively, in 2004. Both the construction and agricultural markets had increased sales of approximately 28 percent in 2005 over 2004, while sales for the mining and marine markets increased 34 percent and 43 percent, respectively, during the same time period. These markets make up over 90 percent of the total industrial market. The increased sales in these markets were seen both in North American and international markets with the exception of a slight decrease in sales to the international agriculture market.

Stationary Power

The increase in sales to stationary power markets is due to the increased net sales to our Power Generation segment. These net sales are eliminated in our Consolidated Statements of Earnings. See the Power Generation Results and Outlook for a discussion of the increase in net sales.

Outlook for 2007

Net sales for this segment are expected to be flat in 2007 with increased shipments in the off-highway and medium-duty truck and bus markets offsetting the decrease in the North American heavy-duty truck market. While North American heavy-duty class 8 truck sales will likely be down 30 to 40 percent in 2007, our year-over-year North American heavy-duty truck engine volumes could be down as much as 50 percent depending on the amount of 2006 engine inventory currently at the truck OEMs. The decline will be most severe in the first half of 2007, with industry shipments expected to improve in the second half of 2007. As a result, we expect our market share to drop in the first quarter, due to OEM’s carrying over more competitor 2006 engines to manage their vehicle model transition, and quickly recover in the second half of the year to 2006 levels or higher as we believe our new products will quickly gain widespread acceptance versus competitive engine technologies.

We expect the Brazilian medium-duty truck market to remain flat in 2007, while our European medium-duty truck engine shipments will benefit from our new supply relationship with Nissan. These markets, together with significant market share gains in North America, are forecasted to drive global medium-duty truck and bus shipments up approximately 25 percent in 2007.

We expect shipments to the global light-duty automotive and RV markets to increase nearly 5 percent in 2007 through new product offerings and increased availability of our product at key OEMs.Segment EBIT

Although some commodity prices have retreated at the end of 2006 from their historical highs, we expect to see sustained demand in 2007 for our engines in the oil and gas and mining equipment markets. Growth in these markets will be paced by our incremental 15 percent capacity expansion planned in our high-horsepower plants during the year. Global construction shipments are expected to show modest growth in 2007 with increased availability at OEMs in North America, India and Japan. We expect


earnings for this segment to be the lowest in the first quarter in 2007 with expected improvements throughout the year as we increase operational efficiencies related to new product introduction. New product pricing is expected to be largely offset by new product cost. We anticipate full year EBIT margins will be slightly below or equal to the bottom end of the targeted range of 7 to 10 percent of sales.

The increase in net sales in this segment wasdecreased primarily due to increased volumes as a result of strong demand in the commercial generator setresearch, development and alternator lines of businessengineering and improved pricing. Our commercial and alternator businesses are up in nearly all markets. Our consumer, power electronics, energy solutions and rental markets also saw modest increases. Partially offsetting the increased sales in these lines of business was the absence of sales from SEG as the business was sold in the fourth quarter.

The improvement in segment EBIT was largely attributable to strong commercial generator set and alternator sales across geographic markets, except China, as well as improved mix and price realization. While material costs, particularly copper, have increased year-over-year, we have been able to more than absorb these costs through improved pricing. Gross margin improved $91 million, or 27 percent, in 2006 compared to 2005. Gross margin percentage improved nearly one percentage point compared to 2005. Sellingselling, general and administrative expenses increased $28 million, or 14 percent, over 2005, however selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales improved by one half of a percentage point in 2006, compared to 2005. Research and engineering expenses increased $7 million, or 33 percent during 2006, compared to 2005 and as a percentage of net sales increased slightly compared to 2005.

The increase in net sales in this segment was primarily due to increased volumes as a result of strong demand in the commercial generator set (genset) markets and alternator markets. Pricing actions also contributed to the increase in net sales.

The improvement in segment EBIT was largely attributable to strong commercial generator set sales across all geographic markets, except China, and the related benefits of fixed cost absorption as well as price realization and cost reduction actions. These benefitswhich were partially offset by increased costs of materials, primarily copper. Gross margin improved $67 million, or 25 percent, over 2004.

Outlook for 2007

We expect net sales to grow 10 to 12 percent in 2007, excluding the absence of net sales due to the disposal of SEG in 2006. We expect net sales of commercial generator sets and alternator equipment to continue to be robust in North America, the U.K., the Middle East, Eastern and Western Europe and India. Consumer sales are projected to increase as we ramp up production of portable gensets, introduce auxiliary power units for commercial trucks and expect greater penetration in the towable segment of the RV market. Price realization on new products, global sourcing initiatives and manufacturing efficiency gains are anticipated to produce steady improvement in margins throughout 2007. Earnings for this segment are expected to remain near or at the top end of its targeted range of 7 to 9 percent of sales.

Components net sales increased across all geographic markets primarily due to strong demand in the U.S., Latin America, and Asia. Sales of our turbochargers increased due to higher aftermarket sales to OEMs, partially offset by lower demand in China.

Segment EBIT improved slightly, compared with 2004, primarily due to improved volume, however EBIT as a percentage of net sales declined slightly due to a lower gross margin percentage resulting from higher steel prices used in exhaust products and manufacturing filters as well as production inefficiencies driven by capacity constraints. Gross margin increased $33 million, or 11 percent, over 2004, however gross margin percentage decreased slightly. In addition, higher selling and administrative expenses and increases in research and engineering expenses contributed to the reduction in segment EBIT as a percentage of net sales.

relatively flat year-over-year as a percentage of net sales. Research and engineering expenses increased due to the development of a number of new products that were launched in 2006 and beyond. Research and engineering expenses increased $6 million, or 12 percent, compared to 2004 and remained flat year-over-year as a percentage of net sales.

Outlook for 2007

Net sales for this segment are forecasted to grow approximately 18 to 22 percent in 2007, primarily due to growth in our emission solutions and turbocharger businesses. The manufacturing improvements that we began to implement in the second half of 2006 are expected to correct operational issues in the emission solutions business in 2007. The material cost and operational issues in the turbocharger business are expected to yield a slower margin improvement as they ramp up new products. We expect to see sequential improvement in earnings from this segment after the first quarter and to achieve the lower end of the targeted range of 7 to 9 percent of net sales by the end of 2007.

Distribution net sales increased primarily due to strong overall demand in the Middle East, Europe and the South Pacific. The higher net sales were led by increases in power generation volume followed by parts, service and engine volume. The Middle East is the primary driver for the higher power generation volume accounting for over half of the increase. Parts and service and engine volumes were up throughout several geographic markets, most notably Europe, East Asia, and the Middle East.

Segment EBIT increasedwas primarily due to higher payroll costs as the result of salary increases and an increase in the number of segment employees during the year. The increase in gross margins resulting from greater sales ofmargin was primarily due to price improvements, especially in industrial engines and parts, and power generation equipment. Gross marginfavorable product mix in 2006 improved $38 million, or 14 percent, over 2005, however gross margin percentage decreased slightly due to an unfavorable shift in mix from parts to engines and gensets.the on-highway market. The increase in gross margin was partially offset by increased warranty expense from the increased mix of newer emissions-driven products and higher repair costs on certain engines and increased material prices due to higher commodity prices during the year.

Net Sales

        Power Generation segment sales decreased in most businesses, versus 2008, as the result of the global economic downturn. The following are the primary drivers by business.

    Commercial products business sales decreased due to lower demand across most regions, especially in North America, the United Kingdom (U.K.), the Middle East, Latin America and India.

    Alternator business sales decreased due to lower OEM demand in Western Europe, North America and India.

    Commercial projects business sales decreased due to lower demand in most regions, especially in North America, Western Europe and the U.K.

Net Sales

        Power Generation segment sales increased compared to 2007 primarily due to the increasefollowing drivers.

    Commercial products business sales increased due to strong demand across most regions, especially the U.K., India, Latin America and China.

    Commercial projects business sales increased as a result of strong demand across most regions, especially North America, the Middle East, the U.K. and Western Europe.

    Alternator business sales increased due to strong international growth, especially in Western Europe and Latin America, and growth in North America.

        These increases were partially offset by a significant sales decrease in our consumer business, primarily due to the softening U.S. economy.

Segment EBIT

        Power Generation segment EBIT year-over-year was a $20 million increase in investee equity earnings primarily attributable to an $18 million increase in earnings at our North American distributors.

2008 vs. 2007

Net Sales

        Distribution segment sales increased compared to 2007 as a result of strong organic growth in all regions, mainly in Europe, the South Pacific and the Middle East. We had higher sales of $260 million from the acquisition of a majority ownership interest in three previously independent distributors. We had a favorable impact from foreign currency translation. The higher sales were led by increased sales volumes in power generation, parts and engine volumes, followed by service.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Management's Assessment of Liquidity

        We believe our financial condition and liquidity remain strong despite the majority of this growth will be organic from existing distributors. Non-residential construction spending outside of the U.S. is expected to continue to drive our revenue growth in power generation and the off-highway engine markets. We also announced the formation of joint ventures in Thailand and Nigeria and expect to finalize new joint ventures in Colombia, South America and the Carolinas heredifficult environment in the U.S. earlyand global economies. Our strong financial performance, particularly in 2007. Earnings for this segment are forecastedthe fourth quarter of 2009, enabled us to remain abovefinish the top endyear with minimal debt and sizable cash and marketable securities balances. This cash performance was driven primarily by improved inventory management, controls on capital and discretionary spending and lower repurchases of its targeted rangecommon stock.

        We assess our liquidity in terms of 8our ability to 10 percent of sales.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Overview of Capital Structure

financing activities. Cash provided by operations is the primaryour principal source of funding our working capital requirements. At certain times, cash provided by operations is subject to seasonal fluctuations, and as a result, we may use periodic borrowings, primarily our revolving credit facility and our accounts receivable sales program, to fund our working capital requirements.liquidity. As of December 31, 2006, there were no amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility or our receivable sales program.

Cash and cash equivalents increased $61 million during 2006 to $840 million at the end2009, other sources of the year compared to $779 million at the beginning of the year. Cash and cash equivalents were higher in 2006 as a result of an increase in cash provided by operations generated primarily by higher net earnings. We have focused much of our efforts on improving our balance sheet through debt reduction and increasing our liquidity. We believe our net debt position is a strong indicator of how much progress we have made in these areas. This measure is not defined under U.S. GAAP and may not be computed the same as similarly titled measures used by other companies. Our net debt position is as follows:

At December 31, 2006, we believe our liquidity with include:

    cash and cash equivalents of $840$930 million,

    marketable securities of $95$190 million, $542 million

    $1.07 billion available under our revolving credit facility, $200

    $154 million, based on eligible receivables, available under our accounts receivable sales program and $123

    $229 million available under international and other domestic credit facilities (seefacilities.

        The maturity schedule of our existing long-term debt does not require significant cash outflows in the table below under Available Credit Capacity) providesintermediate term. Required annual principal payments range from $17 million to $67 million over each of the next five years.

        While the impact of the continued market volatility cannot be predicted, we believe our liquidity will provide us with the financial flexibility needed to satisfy future short-term funding requirements forfund working capital, debt service obligations, capital expenditures, projected pension funding,obligations, dividend payments, common stock repurchases dividend payments and expansiondebt service obligations.

        We have considered the impact of ongoing market instability and credit availability in emerging markets.

The Jobs Act provided forassessing the adequacy of our liquidity and capital resources and are monitoring the impact on our customers and suppliers. We have noticed an impact as reflected in our days sales in receivables, but have not seen a temporary 85-percent dividends received deductionsignificant impact on certain foreign earnings repatriated during a one-year period. The deduction resultedour results of operations, financial position or cash flows in an approximate 5.25% federal tax2009. We expect that general market conditions could impact the rate on the repatriated earnings. We repatriated $71 million under the Jobs Act in 2005. Foreign earnings repatriated under the Jobs Act increased liquidityat which we realize our receivables in the United States,future and could impact eligible receivables under our accounts receivable program, however, we expect to generate positive cash flow from operations in 2010. We will continue to diligently monitor our receivables for potential slowing in collections that could occur as a result of continued difficult economic conditions and our customer's access to credit. The overall decline in market valuations negatively impacted the current value of our pension trusts in 2008; however, pension assets produced strong positive returns in 2009.

        At this time, we are comfortable that the currently unused $1.07 billion credit capacity under our revolving credit facility is available to us. This assertion is based upon the fact that we drew upon our revolving credit facility, throughout the year, with a corresponding reduction of liquidity in our foreign subsidiaries.


Our total debt was $811 million as of December 31, 2006, compared with $1,367 million at December 31, 2005. Total debt as a percent of our total capital, including total long-term debt, was 22.4 percent at December 31, 2006, comparedprompt repayment, to 42.3 percent at December 31, 2005. Included in long-term debt at December 31, 2006 and 2005, was $60 million and $71 million, respectively, attributable to consolidating a leasing entity underconfirm participation by the provisions of FIN 46R (see Notes 2 and 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). Alsobanks included in short-termthe facility. We successfully tested the facility again in February 2010. As a result, we believe our access to liquidity sources has not been materially impacted by the current credit environment and long-term debt at December 31, 2006, was $67 million from the consolidation of two joint ventures consolidated under the provisions of FIN 46R (see Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). The consolidation of these entities did not materially impact our 2006 or 2005 net earnings nor did it affect compliance with any of our debt covenants. Wewe do not expect that it will be materially impacted in the consolidationnear future. There can be no assurance, however, that the cost or availability of these entities to have a material impact on net earningsfuture borrowings, if any, in the debt markets or affect our compliance with debt covenants in future periods.credit facilities will not be materially impacted by the ongoing capital market disruptions.

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.


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 primarily due to an increase in cash and cash equivalents, caused by management's efforts to conserve cash, reduce inventories and limit discretionary spending during the global recession (see Cash Flows below) and an increase in receivables. The increase in receivables was due to higher sales in global engine markets, higher sales in the fourth quarter of 2009 than in the fourth quarter of 2008 as a result of a temporary increase in engine (and related component) demand prior to the 2010 emissions standards change and the significant decrease in sales in the fourth quarter of 2008 as a result of the onset of the economic recession. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in inventories as a result of our efforts to reduce our working capital.

        Current liabilities decreased primarily due to a decline in other accrued expenses and accounts payable as a result of reduced purchasing volume and controls around discretionary spending.

Operating Activities.2009 vs. 2008

Net cash provided by operating activities improved $80 million in 2006increased for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to 2005,2008, primarily due to $165 millionfavorable working capital fluctuations, primarily inventories, as a result of higher net earningsmanagement's response to the challenging global economy and an $82 million decrease in cash utilized for working capital,increased dividends from our equity investees which were partially offset by an increase in pension fundingdecreased income as the result of $115 milliondeclining sales. Management's priorities included reducing inventory, aligning our cost and a decrease incapacity with the real demand for our products and managing the business to generate positive cash providedflows by changes in long term liabilities of $65 million. Net changes inimproving our working capital utilized $226 million in cash during 2006 compared to utilizing $308 million in 2005, or a net decrease in cash utilized for working capital of $82 million year-over-year. Cash utilized for working capital tends to fluctuate from period to period based on various factors including, sales and production volumes as well as timing. Pension funding increased year-over-year, as we made additional contributions towards our goal of reaching 90 percent funded by the end of 2007. As of the end of 2006, our global pension funding was at approximately 88.5 percent of global pension benefit obligations.capital.

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. DeclinesAs a result of the credit crisis and the related market recession, our pension assets experienced significant deterioration in long-term interest rates have had a negative impact on2008. The financial market distress of 2008 continued into early 2009 with the projecteddebt and accumulated obligation, however, better than expected investment returnsequity markets bottoming out in the first quarter. In the second half of 2009, the financial markets began to rebound. The recovery helped to improve our plan performance. Thus, for the year ended December 31, 2009, the return for our U.S. plan was above 18 percent while our U.K. plan return was above 16 percent. The most recent three-year average return for all of our pension invested assets was slightly above one percent. Approximately 94 percent of our pension plan assets are invested in highly liquid investments such as equity and additional voluntaryfixed 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 $129 million of pension contributions have improved the funded status of all plans, helping to minimize future required funding. During 2006in 2009 and we made cashanticipate making contributions of $266 million. We expect to contribute approximately $230$175 million to $240$185 million to our pension plans in 2010. Expected contributions to our defined benefit pension plans in 2007.2010 will meet or exceed the current funding requirements. Claims and premiums for other postretirement benefits are expected to approximate $53 million in 2010. The $129 million of pension contributions in 2009 included voluntary contributions of $108 million. These contributions and payments include payments from our funds either to increase pension plan assets or to make direct payments to participants.

Investing Activities.2008 vs. 2007

        Net cash provided by operating activities increased for the year ended December 31, 2008, compared to 2007, primarily due to decreased pension funding, increased net income as the result of increased sales and increased equity in earnings net of dividends, which was partially offset by unfavorable working capital fluctuations. The unfavorable working capital fluctuation was primarily due to an increase in inventory, which was primarily to support strong business growth while the decreases in accounts payable and accounts receivable were more reflective of early shutdowns in many of our manufacturing facilities at the close of 2008, as demand softened throughout the fourth quarter. The increase in accrued expenses was primarily due to an increase in warranty expense.

2009 vs. 2008

        Net cash used in investing activities decreased for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to 2008, primarily due to decreased capital expenditures and lower investments in the acquisition of businesses which were partially offset by increased cash paid for investments in marketable securities and lower cash proceeds from the sale of a business. These decreases primarily occurred as a result of management's decision to conserve cash and maintain liquidity during the recession.

        Capital expenditures decreased as management tightened capital spending substantially across all business by limiting expenditures to critical projects and investments in development of new products. Despite the expected challenges in some of our markets in 2010, our financial position allows us the flexibility to increase capital expenditures for 2010 to approximately $400 million.

2008 vs. 2007

Net cash used in investing activities increased $65 million in 2006for the year ended December 31, 2008, compared to 2005. The increase was2007, primarily due to higher capital expenditures of $76 million, which includes an increase in capital expenditures and higher investments in internal use softwarebusinesses related to the purchase of $13 million. Netthree previously independent distributors and the acquisition of Consolidated Diesel Corporation, a manufacturing facility (see Note 22, "ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES," to theConsolidated Financial Statements for additional information). These increases were partially offset by an increase in cash utilized for purchases ofgenerated from net investments in marketable securities in 2006 was $30 million as we increased our short term investment holdings as opposed to 2005 when we were in a net liquidation of securities position with net cash proceeds of $3 million.

Financing Activities.2009 vs. 2008

Net cash used in financing activities was $508 million in 2006decreased for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to a use of cash of $372 million in 2005, or a net change in cash outflows of $136 million year-over-year. In 2006, we repaid our $250 million 9.5% notes while in 2005 we repaid our $225 million 6.45% notes. The other significant use of cash in financing activities when comparing 2006 to 2005 relates to repurchases of our common stock. In 2006 we completed our previously announced $100 million stock repurchase and we began repurchasing stock under a new repurchase plan that began in the third quarter of 2006. Year over year our stock repurchases increased $83 million. Also contributing2008, primarily due to the increase, to a lesser extent, was a decrease in the proceeds from the issuancerepurchases of common stock of $21 million and an increase in dividend payments due to the 20 percent increase in quarterly dividends that the board approved in July.

2005 versus 2004

Operating Activities.Net cash provided by operating activities improved $146 million in 2005 compared to 2004, primarily due to $200 million of higher net earnings, a $175 million increase in the deferred tax provision, a $101 million increase in long-term liabilities and a $35 million change in equity earnings of investees, partially offset by an increase in working capital of $378 million. Net changes in


working capital utilized $308 million in cash during 2005 compared to providing $70 million in 2004, or a net decrease in cash provided by working capital of $378 million year-over-year. The net increase of $378 million of cash used by changes in working capital compared to 2004 resulted primarily from lower accrued expenses of $148 million, higher accounts receivable of $146 million and lower accounts payable of $102 million, partially offset by lower inventory of $17 million and changes in other current assets of $1 million. Accounts receivable increased due to higher sales levels, a higher mix of international receivables, and the discontinuance of a major customer’s trade payables program that previously allowed for accelerated payment terms. The net reduction in accounts payablepayments on borrowings, which was due to a larger ramp-up in production during 2004 and the decrease in accrued expenses was driven by a lower increase in accrued warranty of $86 million and a lower increase in accrued payrolls of $63 million.

Investing Activities.Net cash used in investing activities increased $31 million in 2005 compared to 2004. The increase was primarily due to higher capital expenditures of $41 million, which included investments in internal use software of $6 million and a decrease in cash inflows from net liquidations of marketable securities of $24 million, partially offset by a $16 million decrease in cash used for acquisition of businesses, investments in and advances to equity investees of $6 million, and an increase in proceeds from disposalsborrowings and higher dividend payments.

        Our total debt was $704 million as of $9 million.

The majorityDecember 31, 2009, compared with $698 million at December 31, 2008. Total debt as a percent of our total capital, spending of $186 million in 2005including total long-term debt, was primarily for capacity increases, manufacturing equipment and tooling for new products.14.9 percent at December 31, 2009, compared to 16.7 percent at December 31, 2008.

Financing Activities.2008 vs. 2007

Net cash used in financing activities was $372 million in 2005decreased for the year ended December 31, 2008, compared to a $66 million source of cash in 2004, or a net change in cash outflows of $438 million year-over-year. The majority of the change year-over-year is2007, primarily due to the March 1, 2005, repaymentdecrease in repurchases of common stock, the $225increase in proceeds from borrowings, the increase in proceeds from sale of stock held by employee benefit trust and an increase in net borrowings under short-term credit arrangements. These fluctuations were partially offset by the increase in dividend payments. Our total debt as of December 31, 2008, was $698 million 6.45% notes,compared to $674 million as of December 31, 2007.

        Total debt as a significant decrease inpercent of our total capital, including long-term debt, was 16.7 percent at December 31, 2008, compared to 15.4 percent at December 31, 2007. The 2008 debt to capital ratio was negatively impacted by a $675 million ($433 after-tax) charge to Cummins Inc. shareholders' equity to recognize the funded status of our defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans.

Revolving Credit Agreement

        On June 30, 2008, we entered into a three-year revolving credit agreement with a syndicate of lenders. The credit agreement provides us with a $1.1 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility, the proceeds of common stock issued fromwhich are to be used by us for working capital or other general corporate purposes.

        The credit facility matures on June 30, 2011. Amounts payable under our revolving credit facility will rank pro rata with all of our other unsecured, unsubordinated indebtedness. Up to $100 million under our credit facility is available for swingline loans denominated in U.S. dollars. Advances under the exercisefacility bear interest at (i) a base rate or (ii) a rate equal to LIBOR plus an applicable margin based on the credit ratings of stock optionsour outstanding senior unsecured long-term debt. Based on our current long-term debt ratings, the applicable margin on LIBOR loans was 0.75 percent per annum as of $118 million and $38 million in common stock repurchases in 2005.

Cash Dividends

Cash dividends of $0.30 per common share were declared in the first and second quarter of 2006. In July 2006, the Board of Directors voted to increase the quarterly cash dividend per share by 20 percent, and as a result cash dividends of $0.36 per common share were declared in the third and fourth quarter of 2006. Cash dividends of $0.30 per common share were declared and paid in each quarter of 2005 and 2004. Dividends paid to common shareholders for the years ended December 31, 2006, 20052009. Advances under the facility may be prepaid without premium or penalty, subject to customary breakage costs.

        The credit agreement includes various covenants, including, among others, maintaining a leverage ratio of no more than 3.0 to 1.0 and 2004maintaining fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.5 to 1.0. As of December 31, 2009, we were $66 million, $56 millionin compliance with all such covenants, including our leverage ratio of 0.6 to 1.0 and $53 million, respectively.

In 2007, we repurchased approximately $121$335 million of common stock, at an average cost of $55.76 per share, representing approximately 1.1six million shares. This included purchases under our $100 millionconcluded the share repurchase program introduced in September 2005, which was completed in the second quarter of 2006.

Debt Conversion

On May 8, 2006,authorized by the Board of Directors approved our planin July 2006.

        In December 2007, the Board of Directors authorized the acquisition of up to redeem all$500 million of the 7% convertible quarterly income preferred securities that were issued in June 2001. On May 9, 2006, we gave the trustee our formal irrevocable notification of our intent to redeem the preferred securities. This notification provided the holders of the preferred securities 30 days in which to convert their securities into shares ofCummins common stock. Upon expirationWe began making purchases under the plan in March 2008 and purchased $128 million of stock during 2008 at an average cost of $55.49 per share.

        We announced in February 2009 that we had temporarily suspended our stock repurchase program to conserve cash. In the notification period, all remaining securities not converted were redeemed for cash at a premium above liquidation value. Substantially allfourth quarter of 2009, we lifted the $300suspension and will from time to time repurchase stock. We purchased $20 million 7%


convertible subordinated debentures outstanding were converted into shares of our common stock during the secondfourth quarter at an average cost of 2006. As a result$46.52 per common share.

Quarterly Dividends

        In July 2008, our Board of the conversion, approximately 6.3 million shares ofDirectors voted to increase our quarterly cash dividend per share by 40 percent resulting in increasing our cash dividends from $0.125 per common stock were issued during the second quarter which resulted in an increase of approximately $15 millionshare to $0.175 per common share. Cash dividends per share paid to common stock outstanding and an increase of approximately $276 million to additional contributed capital. Since substantially all holders converted their preferred securitiesshareholders for the last three years were as follows:

Declaration and payment of dividends in the loss on extinguishmentfuture depends upon income and liquidity position, among other factors, and is subject to declaration by our Board of this debt was insignificant.

Debt Repayment

In September 2005, we announced our intentionDirectors, who meet quarterly to repayconsider the $250 million 9.5% notes in December 2006, the first call date for the debt. The notes were issued in November 2002 and were repaid in December 2006 usingdividend payment. We expect to fund dividend payments from cash generated from operations. We paid a premium of approximately $12 million due to the early retirement of this debt.

Approximately $62 million of our $120 million 6.75% debentures were repaid on February 15, 2007, at the election of the holders. Such election and notification was required to be made between December 15, 2006 and January 15, 2007. At December 31, 2006, we have included the $62 million repaid on February 15, 2007, in short-term borrowings in our Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Lease Extension

In July 2006, we amended and extended the leaseCredit Rating Impact on our corporate headquarters facility to 2019. The total rental payments to be made over the revised lease term are approximately $59 million. As a result of this extension, we were required to re-evaluate the classification of this lease. Based on the terms of the extension, this lease is now classified as a capital lease. As a result, our long-term debt increased by approximately $40 million.Credit Facilities

Rental Business

During the third quarter of 2006, we extended a lease relating to a portion of our rental business by six years. The lease was set to expire on September 30, 2006. Instead of paying a balloon payment of approximately $42 million on September 30, 2006, the amount has been financed over a six year term at a fixed rate. In addition to extending this lease, we reduced the interest rate by approximately 2 percentage points. During the fourth quarter of 2006, we refinanced a lease relating to another portion of our rental business. Under the terms of the agreement which is effective as of January 1, 2007, the new lease has a six year term and the interest rate is approximately 2 percentage points lower than the existing lease. The total amount refinanced was approximately $28 million. Both leases were treated as capital leases both before and after the changes. For more information regarding our rental business and related lease agreements, see Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Financial Covenants and Credit Rating

A number of our contractual obligations and financing agreements, such as our revolving credit facility and our equipment sale-leaseback agreements 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 2009 that have beenimpacted these covenants or pricing modifications.

        On March 10, 2008, Standard & Poor's (S&P) upgraded our senior unsecured debt ratings from "BBB-" to "BBB" and revised our outlook to stable citing our improved operating performance over the past several years, including during the expected emissions-related downturn in heavy-duty truck

demand in 2007, combined with significant on- and off-balance sheet debt reduction, and increased business diversification.

        On June 17, 2008, Fitch upgraded our senior unsecured debt ratings from "BBB" to "BBB+" citing our recent market share gains and improving credit profile, including improvement in our geographic and business diversification. In the second quarter of 2009, Moody's Investor Service, Inc. and Fitch reaffirmed our credit ratings.

        Credit ratings are not recommendations to buy and 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 in 2006 to impede our compliance with these covenants.

OFF BALANCE SHEET FINANCING

Off Balance Sheet Financing

Sale of Accounts Receivable

In January 2004,July 2007, we entered into a three-year facilityamended our agreement with a financial institution to sell a designated pool of trade receivables to Cummins Trade Receivables, LLC (CTR), a wholly-owned special purpose subsidiary. In January 2007, thissubsidiary, to extend the facility was extended for one year.until July 2010, and raised the purchase limitation from $200 million to $400 million. The agreement also provides us with an option to increase the purchase limitation up to $500 million upon approval. As necessary, CTR may transfer a direct interest in its receivables, without recourse, to the financial institution. To maintain a balance in the designated pools of receivables sold, we sell new receivables to CTR as existing receivables are collected. Receivables sold to CTR in which an interest is not transferred to the financial institution are included in “Receivables, net”"Receivables, net" on ourConsolidated Balance Sheets. The maximum interest in sold receivables that can be outstanding at any point in time is limited to the lesser of $200$400 million or the amount of eligible receivables held by CTR. There are no provisions in this agreement that require us to maintain a minimum investment credit rating; however, the terms of the agreement contain the same financial covenants as our revolving credit facility. There was no interest in receivables sold under this program to the financial institution in 2006 or 2005 and the interest in receivables sold in 2004 was not significant. As of December 31, 20062009, the amount available under this program was $154 million. As of December 31, 2009 and 2005,2008, there were no amounts outstanding under this program.


Financing Arrangements for RelatedAffiliated Parties

In accordance with the provisions of various joint venture agreements, we may purchase products and components from the joint ventures,and/or sell products and components from/to the joint ventures and the joint ventures may sell products and components to unrelated parties. The transfer price of products purchased from the joint ventures may differ from normal selling prices. Certain joint venture agreements transfer product to us at cost, some transfer product to us on a cost-plus basis and other agreements provide for the transfer of products at market value.

We purchase significant quantities of midrange diesel and natural gas engines, components and service parts from Consolidated Diesel Company (CDC), a general partnership that was formed in 1980 with J. I. Case (Case) to jointly fund engine development and manufacturing capacity. Cummins and Case (now CNH Global N.V.) are general partners and each partner shares 50 percent ownership in CDC. Under the terms of the agreement, CDC is obligated to make its entire production of diesel engines and related products available solely to the partners. Each partner is entitled to purchase up to one-half of CDC’s actual production and a partner may purchase in excess of one-half of actual production to the extent productive capacity is available beyond the other partner’s purchase requirement. The partners are each obligated, unconditionally and severally, to purchase annually at least one engine or engine kit produced by CDC, provided a minimum of one engine or engine kit is produced. The transfer price of CDC’s engines to the partners must be sufficient to cover its manufacturing cost in such annual accounting period, including interest and financing expenses, but excluding depreciation expense (other than Scheduled Depreciation Expense as defined in the agreement). In addition, each partner is obligated to contribute one-half of the capital investment required to maintain plant capacity and each partner has the right to invest unilaterally in plant capacity, which additional capacity is available to the other partner for a fee. To date, neither partner has made a unilateral investment in plant capacity at CDC.

We are not a guarantor of any of CDC’s obligations or commitments. However, we are required as a partner, to provide up to 50 percent of CDC’s base working capital as defined by the agreement. The amount of base working capital is calculated each quarter and if supplemental funding greater than the base working capital amount is required, the amount is funded through third-party financing arranged by CDC, or we may elect to fund the requirement, although we are under no obligation to do so. To date, when supplemental funding is required above the base working capital amount, we have elected to provide that funding to CDC. If the amount of supplemental funding required is less than the base working capital amount, it is funded equally by the partners. Excess cash generated by CDC is remitted to Cummins until


CDC’s working capital amount is reduced to the base working capital amount. Any further cash remittances from CDC to the partners are shared equally by the partners.

In the first quarter of 2004, we adopted certain provisions of FIN 46R. Under the provisions of FIN 46R, CDC and another engine manufacturing entity jointly owned and operated by us were considered VIEs and we were deemed the primary beneficiary of these VIEs by virtue of our pricing arrangements with them and substantial product purchases from them. As a result, we consolidated the assets and liabilities of CDC and the other engine manufacturer as of March 28, 2004. Previously, these joint ventures were accounted for under the equity method of accounting and included in our Consolidated Balance Sheets as “Investments in and advances to equity investees.” First quarter results for these entities were recorded as “Investee equity, royalty and other income” in our Consolidated Statements of Earnings and results for the rest of the year were consolidated in our Consolidated Statements of Earnings. For a further discussion of the impact of adopting FIN 46R, see Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

A summary of our significant accounting policies is included in Note 1, "SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES," to the ourConsolidated Financial Statements of this annual report which discusses accounting policies that we have selected from acceptable alternatives other than for the adoption of new accounting pronouncements as discussed in Note 1 to the alternatives.

        OurConsolidated Financial Statements. There were no accounting policies adopted during 2006 that had a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

Our Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP thatwhich often requirerequires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions regarding uncertainties that affect the reported amounts presented and disclosed in the financial statements. Our 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 ourConsolidated Financial Statements.Statements.


Table of Contents

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


Recoverability of Investment Related to New Products

        We have capitalized $216 million associated with the future launch of our light-duty diesel engine product. Market uncertainty due to the global recession has resulted in some customers delaying or cancelling their vehicle programs. We concluded that events and circumstances indicated that these assets should be reviewed for possible impairment at December 31, 2009. We used projections to assess whether future cash flows on an undiscounted basis related to the assets are likely to exceed the related carrying amount to determine if a write-down is appropriate. These projections require estimates about product volume and the size of the market for vehicles that are not yet developed. We used input from our customers in developing alternative cash flow scenarios. Our analysis indicated that the assets are recoverable at December 31, 2009. If customer expectations or projected volumes deteriorate and we do not identify alternative customers and/or product applications, we could be required to write-down these assets to net realizable value.


Warranty Programs

We estimate and record a liability for warranty programs, primarily base warranty and other than product recalls, at the time our products are sold. Our estimates are based on historical experience and reflect management’smanagement's best estimates of expected costs at the time products are sold and subsequent adjustment to those expected costs when actual costs differ. As a result of the uncertainty surrounding the nature and frequency of product recall programs, the liability for such programs is recorded when we commit to a recall action, which generally occurs when it is announced. Our warranty liability is generally affected by component failure rates, repair costs and the time of failure. Future events and circumstances related to these factors could materially change our estimates and require adjustments to our liability. New product launches require a greater use of judgment in developing estimates until historical experience becomes available. Product specific experience is typically available four or five quarters after product launch, with a


clear experience trend evident eight quarters after launch. We generally record warranty expense for new products upon shipment using a factor based upon historical experience only in the first year, a blend of actual product and historical experience in the second year and product specific experience thereafter. Note 1311, "PRODUCT WARRANTY LIABILITY," to the ourConsolidated Financial Statements contains a summary of the activity in our warranty liability account for 20062009 and 20052008 including adjustments to pre-existing warranties.


Accounting for Income Taxes

We determine our provision for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax effects of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Future tax benefits of tax loss and credit carryforwards are also recognized as deferred tax assets. We evaluate the realizabilityrecoverability of our deferred tax assets each quarter by assessing the likelihood of future profitability and available tax planning strategies that could be implemented to


Table of Contents


realize our net deferred tax assets. At December 31, 2006,2009, we recorded net deferred tax assets of $696$729 million. These assets include $39included $151 million for the value of tax loss and credit carryforwards. A valuation allowance of $26$44 million has beenwas recorded to reduce the tax assets to the net value management believes isbelieved was more likely than not to be realized. In the event our operating performance deteriorates, future assessments could conclude that a larger valuation allowance will be needed to further reduce the deferred tax assets. In addition, we operate within multiple taxing jurisdictions and are subject to tax audits in these jurisdictions. These audits can involve complex issues, which may require an extended period of time to resolve. We reduce our net tax assets for the estimated additional tax and interest that may result from tax authorities disputing certainuncertain tax positions we have taken and we believe we have made adequate provision for income taxes for all years that are subject to audit based upon the latest information available. A more complete description of our income taxes and the future benefits of our tax loss and credit carryforwards areis disclosed in Note 94, "INCOME TAXES," to the ourConsolidated Financial Statements.


Pension Benefits

We sponsor a number of pension plans primarily in the U.S. and the U.K., and to a lesser degree in various other countries. In the U.S. and the U.K. we have several major defined benefit plans that are separately funded. We account for our pension programs in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87, “Employers’ Accountingemployers' accounting for Pensions,” (SFAS 87)defined benefit pension and SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132 (R) (SFAS 158). SFAS 87other postretirement plans under GAAP. GAAP requires that amounts recognized in financial statements be determined using an actuarial basis. As a result, our pension benefit programs are based on a number of statistical and judgmental assumptions that attempt to anticipate future events and are used in calculating the expense and liability related to our plans.plans each year at December 31. These assumptions include discount rates used to value liabilities, assumed rates of return on plan assets, future compensation increases, employee turnover rates, actuarial assumptions relating to retirement age, mortality rates and participant withdrawals. The actuarial assumptions we use may differ significantly from actual results due to changing economic conditions, participant life span and withdrawal rates. These differences may result in a material impact to the amount of net periodic pension expense to be recorded in ourConsolidated Financial Statements in the future. SFAS 158 requires an employer to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income. The Statement also requires an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position. We adopted SFAS 158 as required on December 31, 2006. We did not adopt the measurement date change as it is not required until December 31, 2008.future.


The expected long-term return on plan assets is used in calculating the net periodic pension expense. We considered several factors in developing our expected rate of return on plan assets. The long-term rate of return considers historical returns and expected returns on current and projected asset allocations and is generally applied to a 5-year average market value of return. The long-term rate of return on plan assets represents an estimate of long-term returns on an investment portfolio consisting of a mixture of equities, fixed income, real estate and other miscellaneous investments. The differences between the actual return on plan assets and expected long-term return on plan assets are recognized in the asset value used to calculate net periodic expense over five years. The table below sets forth the expected rate of return on U.S. pension plan assetsassumptions used to develop our pension expense was 8.5 percent for each year ended December 31, 2006, 2005,the period 2007-2009 and 2004. Theour expected rate of return on non-U.S. pension plan assets was 7.24 percent, 7.56 percent, and 8.08 percent, respectively. In 2007, we plan to use an expected rate of return of 8.5 percent for U.S pension plan assets and 7.25 percent for non-U.S. pension plan assets.2010.

amortized over future years of service. This is also true of changes to actuarial assumptions. As of December 31, 2006,2009, we had net pension actuarial losses of $468$801 million and $358$364 million for the U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans, respectively. Under SFAS 158GAAP, the actuarial gains and losses are recognized and recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss. As these amounts exceed 10 percent of our PBO, the excess is amortized over the average remaining service lives of participating employees.

Our        The table below sets forth the net periodic pension expense was $120 million in 2006, $103 million in 2005,for the period 2007 through 2009 and $89 million in 2004. Our net periodic pensionour expected expense is expected to be approximately $97 million in 2007.for 2010.

        Changes in the discount rate assumptions will impact the interest cost component of the net periodic pension expense calculation. Our funding strategy is to fund the plan approximately 90 percent on a PBO basis.

The discount rate enables us to state expected future cash payments for benefits as a present value on the measurement date. The guidelines for setting this rate are discussed in EITF D-36GAAP which suggests the use of a high-quality corporate bond rate. We used bond information provided by Standard & Poors for the U.S. and iBoxx for the U.K. All bonds used to develop our hypothetical portfolio in the U.S. and U.K. were high-quality, noncallablenon-callable bonds (AA(AA- or better) as of November 30, 2006.December 31, 2009. The average yield of this hypothetical bond portfolio was used as the benchmark for determining the discount rate to be used to value the obligations of the plans subject to SFAS 87 and SFAS No. 106, “Employer’s AccountingGAAP accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions.”postretirement benefits other than pensions.

Our model called for 60 years of benefit payments. For the U.S. plans, the sum of the cash flows from the 60 bonds matched the cash flow from the benefit payment stream upon completion of the process. The number of bonds purchased for each issue was used to determine the price of the entire portfolio. The discount rate benchmark was set to the internal rate of return needed to discount the cash flows to arrive at the portfolio price.

In developing the U.K. discount rate, excess cash flows resulted in the early years of the 60 year60-year period when the sum of the cash flow from the bonds maturing in later years exceeded the benefit payments in early years, thus no bonds maturing in early years are needed. As a result, the price of the entire portfolio of bonds was too high because all benefit payments were covered with excess cash flow remaining. We made no adjustment to the cash flow and the discount rate was determined as the internal rate of return needed to discount the cash flows to arrive at the portfolio price. Due to the flat shape of the yield curve,


this methodology choice impacted the discount rate by less than two basis percentage points. The discount rate would have been slightly higher had the cash flows been allowed to reinvest.

The above sensitivities reflect the impact of changing one assumption at a time. A higher discount rate decreases the plan obligations and decreases our net periodic pension expense. A lower discount rate increases the plan obligations and increases our net periodic pension expense. It should be noted that economic factors and conditions often affect multiple assumptions simultaneously and the effects of changes in key assumptions are not necessarily linear.

        Our investment policies in the U.S. and U.K. provide for the rebalancing of assets to maintain our long-term strategic asset allocation. We considered several factors in developingare committed to its long-term strategy and do not attempt to time the market given empirical evidence that asset allocation is more critical than individual asset or investment manager selection. Rebalancing of the assets has and continues to occur. The rebalancing is critical to having the proper weighting of assets to achieve the expected total portfolio returns.

The long-term rate of returnare based primarily on plan assets represents an estimate of long-term returns on an investment portfolio consisting of a mixture of equities,broad, publicly traded equity and fixed income real estateindices and other miscellaneous investments. Basedforward-looking estimates of active portfolio and investment management. As of December 31, 2009, based upon our target asset allocations it is anticipated that our U.S. investment policy will generate an average annual return over the 20-year projection period equal to or in excess of 7.737.50 percent approximately 5040 percent of the time while returns of 9.288.70 percent or greater are anticipated 25 percent of the time.

Except for the short-term adverse conditions in the equity markets in 2008, our recent three-year annual rates of return hashave all exceeded 8.5 percent in each of the last three years.8.50 percent. As a result, based on the historical returns and forward-looking return expectations, we believe an investment return assumption of 8.58.00 percent per year in 2010 for U.S. pension assets is reasonable. The methodology used to determine the rate of return on pension plan assets in the U.K. was based on establishing an equity-risk premium over current long-term bond yields adjusted based on target asset allocations. Our strategy with respect to our investments in pension plan assets is to be invested with a long-term outlook. Therefore, the risk and return balance of our asset portfolio should reflect a long-term horizon. Our pension plan asset allocation at December 31, 20062009 and 2005,2008 and target allocation for 20072010 are as follows:

Actual cash funding for our U.S. pension plans is governed by employee benefit and tax laws and the Pension Protection Act of 2006 (“("the Act”Act"). The Act extends the use of an average corporate bond rate for determining current liabilities for funding purposes. Among its many provisions, the Act establishes a 100 percent funding target for plan years beginning after December 31, 2007. We may voluntarily2007, which has now been extended to 2011 by the U.S. Congress due to the recession. Our funding strategy is to make contributions to achieve our various qualified plans in accordance with statutory funding strategy described above. During 2006requirements and 2005,any additional contributions we made cash


contributions todetermine are appropriate. The table below sets forth our pension planscontributions for the period 2008-2009 and our expected range of $266 million and $151 million, respectively, and we expect to make cash contributions of approximately $230 million to $240 million in 2007.for 2010.

Increases in actuarial losses reduced our shareholders' equity by $11 million (after-tax) in 2009.

Annual Assessment for Recoverability of Goodwill

Under the provisions of SFAS No. 142, “GoodwillGAAP accounting for goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (SFAS 142),other intangible assets, the carrying value of goodwill is reviewed annually. The fair value of each reporting unit was estimated by discounting the future cash flows less requirements for working capital and fixed asset additions. In accordance with GAAP, our reporting units are generally defined as one level below an operating segment. However, there were two situations where we have aggregated two or more components which share similar economic characteristics and thus are aggregated into a single reporting unit for testing purposes. These two situations are described further below. This analysis has resulted in the following reporting units for our goodwill testing:

    Within our Components operating segment, emissions solutions and filtration have been aggregated into a single reporting unit. This reporting unit accounts for almost 90 percent of our total goodwill balance at December 31, 2009.

    Also within our Components segment, our turbocharger business is considered a separate reporting unit.

    Within our Power Generation segment, our alternator business is considered a separate reporting unit.

    Within our Engine segment, our recon business is considered a separate reporting unit. This reporting unit is in the business of remanufacturing and reconditioning engines and certain engine components.

    Our Distribution segment is considered a single reporting unit as it is managed geographically and all regions share similar economic characteristics and provide similar products and services.

Table of Contents

        No other reporting units have goodwill. Our valuation method requires us to make projections of revenue, operating expenses, working capital investment and fixed asset additions for the reporting units over a multi-year period. Additionally, management must estimate itsa weighted-average cost of capital, which reflects a market rate, for each reporting unit for use as a discount rate. The discounted cash flows are compared to the carrying value of the reporting unit and, if less than the carrying value, a separate valuation of the goodwill is required to determine if an impairment loss has occurred. In addition, we also perform a sensitivity analysis to determine how much our forecasts can fluctuate before the fair value of a reporting unit would be lower than its carrying amount. As of the end of the third quarter in 2006,2009, we performed the annual impairment assessment required by SFAS 142GAAP and determined that our goodwill was not impaired. At December 31, 2006,2009, our recorded goodwill was $356 million.$364 million, approximately 90 percent of which resided in the emissions solutions plus filtration reporting unit. For this reporting unit, a 10 percent reduction in our estimated future cash flows would not have impacted our assessment. Changes in our projections or estimates, a deterioration of our operating results and the related cash flow effect or a significant increase in the discount rate could decrease the estimated fair value of our reporting units and result in a future impairment of goodwill.

RECENTLY ADOPTED AND RECENTY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted

In December 2004,2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS 123R). This standard requires financial statement recognition of compensation cost related to share-based payment transactions. Share-based payment transactions within the scope of SFAS 123R include stock options, restricted stock plans, performance-based awards, stock appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. We implemented the revised standard in the first quarter of 2006. Prior to January 1, 2006, we accountedamended its existing standards for stock-based employee awards issued after December 31, 2002, using the fair value method preferred by SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” SFAS 123R requires us to estimate forfeitures in calculating the expense relating to stock-based compensation as opposed to recognizing these forfeitures and the corresponding reduction in expense as they occur. SFAS 123R also requires prospective presentation of the “Tax benefit on share-based awards” as a financing activity rather than an operating activity in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. See Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the impact that the adoption of this standard had on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections—a replacement of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3” (SFAS 154). This standard changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle and applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle. It also applies to changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. When a pronouncement includes specific transition provisions, those provisions should be followed. APB 20 required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by including in net income of the period of the change the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle. This standard requires retrospective application to prior period financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless itbusiness combinations, which is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. The provisions of SFAS 154 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005.2008. The adoptionamended standards make significant changes to both the accounting and disclosures related to the acquisition of a business and could materially impact how we account for future business combination transactions. Because the standard will only impact transactions entered into after January 1, 2009, the amended standards did not impact ourConsolidated Financial Statements upon adoption.

        In December 2007, the FASB amended its existing standards for noncontrolling interests in consolidated financial statements, which was effective for interim and annual fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2008. The new standard established accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the accounting for future ownership changes with respect to those subsidiaries. The new standard defined a noncontrolling interest, previously called a minority interest, as the portion of equity in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent. The new standard required, among other items, that a noncontrolling interest be included in the consolidated balance sheet within equity, separate from the parent's equity; consolidated net income to be reported at amounts inclusive of both the parent's and noncontrolling interest's shares and, separately, the amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and noncontrolling interest all on the consolidated statements of income; and if a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary be measured at fair value and a gain or loss be recognized in net income based on such fair value. We adopted the new standard effective January 1, 2009 and applied it retrospectively. As a result, we reclassified noncontrolling interests of $246 million, $292 million and $253 million, respectively, from the mezzanine section to equity in the December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 balance sheets. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the presentation of the current period under the new standard.

        In March 2008, the FASB amended its existing standards for disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities, which was effective for interim and annual fiscal periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The new standards require enhanced disclosures about a company's derivative and hedging activities. We adopted the new standard effective January 1, 2009 and applied it prospectively. The new disclosures required are included in Note 20, "DERIVATIVES," to ourConsolidated Financial Statements.


Table of Contents

        In June 2009, the FASB amended its existing standards for subsequent events, which was effective for interim and annual fiscal periods ending after June 15, 2009 and established general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. The new standard established the period after the balance sheet date during which we should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances under which we should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date and the disclosures that should be made about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. In preparing ourConsolidated Financial Statements, we evaluated subsequent events through February 25, 2010, which is the date our annual report was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.


Accounting Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Effective

        In June 2009, the FASB amended its standards for accounting for transfers of financial assets, which is effective for interim and annual fiscal periods beginning after November 15, 2009. The new standard removes the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity from GAAP. The new standard modifies the financial-components approach used in previous standards and limits the circumstances in which a financial asset, or portion of a financial asset, should be derecognized. The new standard also requires enhanced disclosure regarding transfers of financial interests and a transferor's continuing involvement with transferred assets. The new standard will require us to report any future activity under our sale of receivables program as secured borrowings as of January 1, 2010. As of December 31, 2009, we had no amounts outstanding under this program.

        In June 2009, the FASB amended its existing standards related to the consolidation of variable interest entities, which is effective for interim and annual fiscal periods beginning after November 15, 2009. The new standard requires entities to analyze whether their variable interests give it a controlling financial interest of a variable interest entity (VIE) and outlines what defines a primary beneficiary. The new standard amends GAAP by: (a) changing certain rules for determining whether an entity is a VIE; (b) replacing the quantitative approach previously required for determining the primary beneficiary with a more qualitative approach; and (c) requiring entities to continuously analyze whether they are the primary beneficiary of a VIE among other amendments. The new standard also requires enhanced disclosures regarding an entity's involvement in a VIE. While we are still finalizing our evaluation of the impact of this standard didamendment on ourConsolidated Financial Statements, we believe the only impact will be the deconsolidation of Cummins Komatsu Engine Company (CKEC). This deconsolidation will not have a material impact on ourConsolidated Financial Statements.

In September 2006, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements Financial information about CKEC is included in Current Year Financial Statements (SAB 108). SAB 108 was issued in orderNote 23, "VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES," to eliminate the diversity of practice surrounding how public companies quantify financial statement misstatements. Traditionally, there have been two widely-recognized methods for quantifying the effects of financial statement misstatements: the “roll-over” method and the “iron curtain” method. The roll-over method focuses primarily on the impact of a misstatement on the income statement, including the reversing effect of prior year misstatements, but its use can lead to the accumulation of misstatements in the balance sheet. The iron curtain method, on the other hand, focuses primarily on the effect of correcting the period-end balance sheet with less emphasis on the reversing effects of prior years on the income statement. We currently use the iron curtain method for quantifying identified financial statement misstatements. In SAB 108, the SEC staff established an approach that requires quantification of financial statement misstatements based on the effects of the misstatements on each of the company’s financial statements and related financial statement disclosures. This model is commonly referred to as a “dual approach” because it requires quantification of errors under both the iron curtain and roll-over methods. We were required to apply the provisions of SAB 108 in connection with the preparation of ourConsolidated Financial Statements.

        In October 2009, the FASB amended its rules regarding the accounting for multiple element revenue arrangements. The objective of the year ended December 31, 2006.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 applicationnew rules are effective for us beginning January 1, 2011. We are in the process of SAB 108 did notevaluating the impact that this amendment will have a material effect on ourConsolidated Financial Statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Plans and Other Postretirement Plans—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)” (SFAS 158), which requires employers to fully recognize the obligations associated with single-employer defined benefit pension, retiree healthcare and other postretirement plans in their financial statements. In


addition, SFAS 158 requires companies to measure plan assets and liabilities as of the end of a fiscal year rather than a date within 90 days of the end of the fiscal year. We adopted SFAS 158 effective December 31, 2006, except for the change in measurement date provisions which are not effective until 2008. Total assets, total liabilities, minority interests and total shareholders’ equity were impacted in the following manner. Total assets increased by approximately $11 million, total liabilities increased by approximately $106 million, minority interests decreased by approximately $1 million and shareholders’ equity decreased by approximately $94 million. The adoption of SFAS 158 did not impact compliance with any of our financial covenants. See Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding the impact that the adoption of this standard had on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140” (SFAS 155). SFAS 155 changes certain accounting requirements for certain hybrid financial instruments by permitting fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation. The new standard also changed certain accounting requirements for interest-only and principal-only strips and other aspects of accounting for securitized financial assets. We will adopt SFAS 155 effective January 1, 2007. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 155 to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140” (SFAS 156), that provides guidance on accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. In accordance with the provisions of SFAS 156, separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities must be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. Subsequent to initial recognition, the company may use either the amortization method or the fair value measurement method to account for servicing assets and servicing liabilities within the scope of this Statement. We will adopt SFAS 156 effective January 1, 2007. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 156 to have a material effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (FIN 48), which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for recording in the financial statements, uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. In addition, FIN 48 provides guidance on the derecognition, classification, accounting in interim periods and disclosure requirements for uncertain tax positions. We will adopt FIN 48 effective January 1, 2007. We do not expect the adoption of FIN 48 to have a material effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. We will adopt SFAS 157 effective January 1, 2008. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, that SFAS 157 will have on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

DISCLOSURE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain parts of this annual report contain forward-looking statements that are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about the industries in which we operate and management’s beliefs and assumptions. Forward-looking statements are generally accompanied by words, such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “forecasts,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates” or similar expressions. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, which we refer to as “future factors,” which are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual


outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. Future factors that could cause our results to differ materially from the results discussed in such forward-looking statements are discussed below. We undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Future factors that could affect the outcome of forward-looking statements include the following:

·       price and product competition by foreign and domestic competitors, including new entrants;

·       rapid technological developments of diesel engines;

·       the ability to continue to introduce competitive new products in a timely, cost-effective basis;

·       the sales mix of products;

·       the achievement of lower costs and expenses;

·       domestic and foreign governmental and public policy changes, including environmental regulations;

·       protection and validity of patent and other intellectual property rights;

·       reliance on large customers;

·       technological, implementation and cost/financial risks in increasing use of large, multi-year contracts;

·       the cyclical nature of our business;

·       the outcome of pending and future litigation and governmental proceedings;

·       continued availability of financing, financial instruments and financial resources in the amounts, at the times and on the terms required to support our future business; and

·       other risk factors described in Part I of this report under the caption “RISK FACTORS RELATING TO OUR BUSINESS.’’

In addition, such statements could be affected by general industry and market conditions and growth rates, general domestic and international economic conditions, including the price of crude oil (diesel fuel), interest rate and currency exchange rate fluctuations and other future factors.

Item 7A.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to financial risk resulting from volatility in foreign exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. This risk is closely monitored and managed through the use of financial derivative instruments including commodity forwardswap contracts, foreign currency forward contracts and interest rate swaps. As stated in our policies and procedures, financial instrumentsderivatives are used expressly for hedging purposes, and under no circumstances are they used for speculative purposes. Our hedging transactions are entered into with banking institutions that have strongWhen material,

The results and status of our hedging transactions are reported to senior management on a monthly and quarterly basis. Further information regarding financial instruments and risk management is contained in Note 1820, "DERIVATIVES," to the ourConsolidated Financial Statements.Statements.

The following describes our risk exposures and provides results of sensitivity analysesanalysis performed as of December 31, 2006.2009. The sensitivity analysis assumes instantaneous, parallel shifts in foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices.


FOREIGN EXCHANGE RATES

As a result of our international business presence, we are exposed to foreign currency exchange risk.risks. We transact business in foreign currencies and, have significant assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. Asas a result our earnings experienceincome experiences some volatility related to movements in foreign currency exchange rates. In orderTo help manage our exposure to benefit from global diversification and after considering naturally offsetting currency positions,exchange rate volatility, we enter intouse foreign exchange forward contracts on a regular basis to minimize our existing exposures (recognized asset and liability) and hedge forecasted transactions.intercompany and third-party sales and purchases denominated in non-functional currencies. Our internal policy allows for managing anticipated foreign currency cash flow for up to one year. These foreign currency forward contracts are designated and qualify as foreign currency cash flow hedges under GAAP. The objectiveeffective portion of our hedging programthe unrealized gain or loss on the forward contract is to reducedeferred and reported as a component of "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" (AOCL). When the impacthedged 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 changesthe hedge, unrealized gain or loss, if any, is recognized in foreign exchange rates on earnings by essentially creating offsetting currency exposures.

current income during the period of change. As of December 31, 2006,2009, the amount expected to be reclassified to income over the next year is not material. For the years ended December 31, 2009, and 2008, there were no circumstances that would have resulted in the discontinuance of a 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.

        As of December 31, 2009, the potential gain or loss in the fair value of our outstanding foreign currency contracts, assuming a hypothetical 10 percent fluctuation in the currencies of such contracts, would be approximately $7$31 million. The sensitivity analysis of the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates assumes the notional value to remain constant for the next 12 months. The analysis ignores the impact of foreign exchange movements on our competitive position and potential changes in sales levels. It should be noted that any change in the value of the contracts, real or hypothetical, would be significantly offset by an inverse change in the value of the underlying hedged items (see Note 1820, "DERIVATIVES," to the ourConsolidated Financial Statements).


INTEREST RATES

We are also exposed to interest ratemarket risk as a result of our indebtedness. Our objective in managing our exposure to changesfrom fluctuations in interest rates is to limit the effect of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lowerrates. We manage our overall cost of borrowing. To achieve this objective, we primarily use interest rate swap agreements to manage exposure to interest rate changes relatedfluctuations through the use of interest rate swaps. The objective of the swaps is to more effectively balance our borrowing arrangements.costs and interest rate risk.

In November 2005, we entered into an interest rate swap to effectively convert our $250 million debt, due in 2028, debt 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 SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.”

In November 2002, we terminated an interest rate swap relating to our 6.45% notes that matured in 2005. The swap acted as a fair value hedge and converted $225 million notional amount from fixed rate debt into floating rate debt that matured in 2005. The termination of this swap resulted in a $12 million gain.GAAP. The gain was amortizedor loss on this derivative instrument as well as the offsetting gain

COMMODITY PRICES

COMMODITY PRICES

We are also exposed to fluctuations in commodity prices through the purchase of raw materials as well asdue to contractual agreements with component suppliers. To reduce the effect of raw materialIn order to protect ourselves against future price changes for select commodities,volatility and, consequently, fluctuations in gross margins, we periodically enter into commodity forwardswap contracts with designated banks to hedge afix the cost of certain raw material purchases with the objective of minimizing changes in inventory cost due to market price fluctuations. The commodity swap contracts are derivative contracts that are designated as cash flow hedges under GAAP. The effective portion of our anticipated raw material purchases.

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 December 31, 2006,2009, we expect to reclassify an unrealized net gain of $5 million from AOCL to income over the next year. For the year ended December 31, 2009, we discontinued hedge accounting on certain contracts where the forecasted transactions were no longer probable. The amount reclassified to income as a result of this action was a loss of $4 million. Our internal policy allows for managing these cash flow hedges for up to three years.

        As of December 31, 2009, the potential gain or loss related to the outstanding commodity forwardswap contracts, assuming a hypothetical 10 percent fluctuation in the price of such commodities, was $13$10 million. The sensitivity analysis of the effects of changes in commodity prices assumes the notional value to remain constant for the next 12 months. The analysis ignores the impact of commodity price movements on our competitive position and potential changes in sales levels. It should be noted that any change in the value


of the forwardswap contracts, real or hypothetical, would be significantly offset by an inverse change in the value of the underlying hedged items (see Note 1820, "DERIVATIVES," to theConsolidated Financial Statements).

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

As of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, 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 the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2006, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

·       pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;

·       provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and

·       provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.


Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. It is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, the risk material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and concluded it was effective as of December 31, 2006. In making its assessment, management utilized the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control—Integrated Framework.

Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears herewith in this Form 10-K.

    We have completed integrated audits of Cummins Inc.’s consolidated financial statements and of its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Our opinions, based on our audits, are presented below.

    Consolidated financial statements

    In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(1) present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Cummins Inc. and its subsidiaries at December 31, 20062009 and 2005,2008, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 20062009 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. TheseAlso, in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, based on criteria established inInternal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.opinions.

    As described in Note 2, Variable Interest Entities, effective March 28, 2004, the Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (and its December 2003 revisions)” for its interest in certain variable interest entities. As described in Note 12, Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits, effective December 31, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Plans and Other Postretirement Plans—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 123(R).” As described in Note 19, Stock Incentive and Stock Option Plans, effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share-Based Payment.”

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on management’s assessment and on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit of internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

    procedures as we consider necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.

    Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

    CUMMINS INC. AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES

    NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

    NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    Nature of Operations

    Cummins Inc. (“Cummins,” “the(Cummins, the Company,” “the registrant,” “we,” “our,” we, our, or “us”)us) is a leading global power leaderprovider 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 Manufacturersoriginal equipment manufacturers (OEMs), distributors and other customers worldwide. We serve our customers through a network of more than 550500 company-owned and independent distributor locations and approximately 5,0005,200 dealer locations in more than 160190 countries and territories.


    Principles of Consolidation

    OurConsolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of all wholly-owned and majority-owned domestic and foreign subsidiaries where our ownership is more than 50 percent of common stock except for majority-owned subsidiaries that are considered Variable Interest Entities (VIEs) where we are not deemed the primary beneficiary. In addition, we also consolidate, regardless of our ownership percentage, VIEs for which we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary. Intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. consolidation. Where our ownership interest is less than 100 percent, the minoritynoncontrolling ownership interests are reported in ourConsolidated Balance Sheets.Sheets. The minoritynoncontrolling ownership interest in our earnings,income, net of tax, is classified as “Minority interests"net income attributable to noncontrolling interests" in earnings of consolidated subsidiaries” in ourConsolidated Statements of Earnings.Income.

    Certain amounts for 20052008 and 20042007 have been reclassified to conform to the 2006current classifications. All share amounts and per share amounts have been adjusted for the impact of a two-for-one stock split on April 9, 2007 and an additional two-for-one stock split on January 2, 2008.


    Investments in Equity Investees

    We use the equity method to account for our investments in joint ventures, affiliated companies and alliances in which we have the ability to exercise significant influence, generally represented by common stock ownership or partnership equity of at least 20 percent but not more than 50 percent. Generally, under the equity method, original investments in these entities are recorded at cost and subsequently adjusted by our share of equity in earningsincome or losses after the date of acquisition. Investment amounts in excess of our share of an investee’sinvestee's assets are amortized over the life of the related asset creating the excess. If the excess is goodwill, then it is not amortized. Equity in earningsincome or losses of each investee is recorded according to our level of ownership; if losses accumulate, we record our share of losses until our investment has been fully depleted. If our investment has been fully depleted, we recognize additional losses only when we are the primary funding source. We eliminate (to the extent of our ownership percentage) in ourConsolidated Financial Statements the profit in inventory held by our equity method investees that has not yet been sold to a third-party. Our investments are classified as “Investments in"Investments and advances related to equity investees”method investees" in ourConsolidated Balance Sheets. Our share of the results from joint ventures, affiliated companies and alliances is reported in ourConsolidated Statements of EarningsIncome as “Investee equity,"Equity, royalty and other income.”interest income from investees," and is reported net of all applicable income taxes.

            Our foreign equity investees are presented net of applicable foreign income taxes in ourConsolidated Statements of Income. The vast majority of our U.S. equity investees are partnerships

    (non-taxable), thus there is no difference between gross or net of tax presentation as the investees are not taxed.


    Use of Estimates in the Preparation of the Financial Statements

    Preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect


    CUMMINS INC. AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES
    NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

    reported amounts presented and disclosed in ourConsolidated Financial Statements. Significant estimates and assumptions in theseConsolidated 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, restructuring costs, income taxes and deferred tax valuation allowances, lease classification, and contingencies. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may be different from these estimates.


    Revenue Recognition

    We recognize revenue, net of estimated costs of returns, allowances and sales incentives, when it is realized or realizable, which generally occurs when when:

      persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists,

      the product has been shipped and legal title and all risks of ownership have been transferred,

      customer acceptance has occurred and

      payment is reasonably assured.

            Products are generally sold on open account under credit terms customary to the geographic region of distribution. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and generally do not require collateral to secure our accounts receivable. For engines, service parts, service tools and other items sold to independent distributors and to partially-owned distributors accounted for under the equity method, revenues are recorded when title and risk of ownership transfers. This transfer is based on the agreement in effect with the respective distributor and in the United States (U.S.) and most international locations generally occurs generally when the products are shipped. To the extent of our ownership percentage, margins on sales to distributors accounted for under the equity method are deferred until the distributor sells the product to unrelated parties.

            We provide various sales incentives to both our distribution network and our OEM customers. These programs are designed to promote the sale of our product in the channel or encourage the usage of our products by OEM customers. Sales incentives primarily fall into three categories:

      volume rebates,

      market share rebates and

      aftermarket rebates.

    Table of Contents


    CUMMINS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

    NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

    NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

            For volume rebates, we provide certain customers with rebate opportunities for attaining specified volumes during a particular quarter or year. We accrue for the expected amount of these rebates at the time of the original sale and update our accruals quarterly based on our best estimate of the volume levels the customer will reach during the measurement period. For market share rebates, we provide certain customers with rebate opportunities based on the percentage of their production that utilizes a Cummins product. These rebates are typically measured either quarterly or annually and are accrued at the time of the original sale based on the current market shares, with adjustments made as the level changes. For aftermarket rebates we provide incentives to promote sales to certain dealers and end-markets. These rebates are typically paid on a quarterly, or more frequent, basis and estimates are made at the end of each quarter as to the amount yet to be paid. These estimates are based on historical experience with the particular program. The incentives are classified as a reduction in sales in ourConsolidated Statements of Income.

            Rights of return do not exist for a large portion of our sales, other than for quality issues. We do offer certain return rights in our aftermarket business, where some aftermarket customers are permitted to return small amounts of parts and filters each year and in our power generation business, which sells portable generators to retail customers. An estimate of future returns is accrued at the time of sale based on historical return rates.


    Foreign Currency Transactions and Translation

    We translate assets and liabilities of foreign entities to U.S. dollars, where the local currency is the functional currency, at year-end exchange rates. We translate income and expenses to U.S. dollars using weighted-average exchange rates for the year. We record adjustments resulting from translation in a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss and include the adjustments in net earningsincome only upon sale or liquidation of the underlying foreign investment.

    Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in current net earnings.income. For foreign entities where the U.S. dollar is the functional currency, including those operating in highly inflationary economies when applicable, we remeasure inventory, property, plant and equipment balances and the related earningsincome statement using historical exchange rates. We include in income the resulting gains and losses, including the effect of derivatives net of tax, in the ourConsolidated Statements of EarningsIncome, which combined with transaction gains and losses amounted to a net gainloss of $11$20 million in 2006,2009, a net loss of $6$46 million in 20052008 and a net gain of $1$28 million in 2004.2007.


    Derivative Instruments

    We make use of derivative instruments in foreign exchange, commodity price and interest rate hedging programs. Derivatives currently in use are foreign currency forward contracts, commodity forwardswap contracts and an interest rate swap. These contracts are used strictly for hedging and not for speculative purposes.


    CUMMINS INC. AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES
    NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

    As a result of        Due to our international business presence, we are exposed to foreign currency exchange risk. We transact in foreign currencies and have significant assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. As a result,Consequently, our earnings experienceincome experiences some volatility related to movements in foreign currency exchange rates. In order to benefit from global diversification and after considering naturally offsetting currency positions, we enter into foreign currency forward contracts to minimize our existing exposures (recognized assets and liabilities) and hedge forecasted transactions.


    Table of Contents


    CUMMINS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

    NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

    NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

    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 forwardswap 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.

    We record all derivatives at fair value in our financial statements. Note 1820 provides further information on our hedging strategy and accounting for derivative financial instruments.


    Income Tax Accounting

    We determine our income tax provision using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. We also recognize future tax benefits associated with tax loss and credit carryforwards as deferred tax assets. Our deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. We measure deferred tax assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which we expect to recover or settle the temporary differences. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred taxes is recognized in the period that the change is enacted. We reduce our net tax assets for the estimated additional tax and interest that may result from tax authorities disputing certainuncertain tax positions we have taken. During interim reporting periods our income tax provision is based upon the estimated annual effective tax rate of those taxable jurisdictions where we conduct business.


    Cash and Cash Equivalents

    Cash equivalents are defined as short-term, highly liquid investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less at the time of purchase. The carrying amounts reflected in ourConsolidated Balance Sheets for cash and cash equivalents approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of these investments.


    StatementTable of Cash Flows—Supplemental DisclosuresContents

    During 2006, 2005 and 2004 cash payments for income taxes, net of refunds, were $165 million, $95 million and $87 million, respectively. During 2006, 2005 and 2004 cash payments for interest, net of capitalized interest, were $100 million, $114 million and $113 million, respectively.

    During 2006, we incurred capital lease obligations of $58 million primarily due to the lease extension on the corporate headquarters building and computer equipment leases. During 2005, we incurred capital lease obligations of $32 million primarily due to equipment leases for a production line.

    Marketable Securities

    We account for marketable securities in accordance with GAAP standards for the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, “Accountingaccounting for Certain Investmentscertain investments in Debtdebt and Equity Securities.”equity securities. We determine the appropriate classification of all marketable securities as “held-to-maturity, “available-for-sale”"held-to-maturity, "available-for-sale" or “trading”"trading" at the time of purchase, and re-evaluate such classifications at each balance sheet date. At December 31, 20062009 and 2005,2008, all of our investments were classified as available-for-sale.

    Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value with the unrealized gain or loss, net of tax, reported in other comprehensive income. Unrealized losses considered to be “other-than-temporary”"other-than-temporary" are recognized currently in earnings.income. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. The fair value of most investment securities is determined by currently available market prices. Where quoted market prices are not available, we use the market price of similar types of securities that are traded in the market to estimate fair value. See Note 45 for a detailed description of our investments in marketable securities.


    Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

    Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, which approximates fair value, and generally do not bear interest. We have a trade receivables sales program, which is more fully discussed in Note 5,21, which allows us to sell, without recourse, an interest in a pool of our trade receivables to a financial institution as necessary. The allowance for doubtful accounts is our best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in our existing accounts receivable. We determine the allowance based on our historical collection experience and by performing an analysis of our accounts receivable in light of the current economic environment. We review our allowance for doubtful accounts on a regular basis. In addition, when necessary, we provide an allowance for the full amount of specific accounts deemed to be uncollectible. Account balances are charged off against the allowance in the period in

    Inventories

    Inventories

    Our inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. At December 31, 20062009 and 2005,2008, approximately 2016 percent and 2218 percent, respectively, of our consolidated inventories (primarily heavy-duty and high-horsepower engines and parts) were valued using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) cost method. The cost of other inventories is generally valued using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) cost method. Our inventories at interim and year-end reporting dates include estimates for adjustments related to


    CUMMINS INC. AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES
    NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

    annual physical inventory results and for inventory cost changes under the LIFO cost method. Due to significant movements of partially-manufactured components and parts between manufacturing plants, we do not internally measure, nor do our accounting systems provide, a meaningful segregation between raw materials and work-in-process.


    Property, Plant and Equipment

    We record property, plant and equipment, inclusive of assets under capital leases, at cost. We depreciate the cost of the majority of engine production equipment using a modified units-of-production method, which is based upon units produced subject to a minimum level. We depreciate the cost of all other equipment using the straight-line method with depreciable lives ranging from 20 to 40 years for buildings and three to 20 years for machinery, equipment and fixtures. Capital lease amortization is recorded in depreciation expense. We expense normal maintenance and repair costs as incurred. Depreciation expense totaled $266$269 million, $260$262 million and $235$256 million for the years ended December 31, 2006, 20052009, 2008 and 2004,2007, respectively.


    Long-Lived Assets

    We review our long-lived assets for possible impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. We assess the recoverability of the carrying value of the long-lived assets at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. An impairment of a long-lived asset or asset group exists when the expected future pre-tax cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) estimated to be generated by the asset or asset group is less than its carrying value. If these cash flows are less than the carrying value of such asset or asset group, an impairment loss is measured based on the difference between the estimated fair value and carrying value of the asset or asset group. Assumptions and estimates used to estimate cash flows in the evaluation of impairment and the fair values used to determine the impairment are subject to a degree of judgment and complexity. Any

    changes to the assumptions and estimates resulting from changes in actual results or market conditions from those anticipated may affect the carrying value of long-lived assets and could result in ana future impairment charge.

    Goodwill
    Goodwill

    Goodwill represents        Under GAAP accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets, the excess of purchase price paid over the faircarrying value of net assets acquired in a business combination accounted for as a purchase. As required by SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangibles” (SFAS 142), we no longer amortize goodwill but rather evaluate itmust be tested for impairment on an annual basis and between annual tests in certain circumstances where impairment may be indicated. The fair value of each reporting unit was estimated by discounting the future cash flows less requirements for working capital and fixed asset additions. In accordance with GAAP, our reporting units are generally defined as one level below an operating segment. However, there were two situations where we have aggregated two or more often if events or circumstances change that could cause goodwill to become impaired. We have allocated our goodwill tocomponents which share similar economic characteristics and thus are aggregated into a single reporting unit for testing purposes. These two situations are described further below. This analysis has resulted in the following reporting units for purposesour goodwill testing:

      Within our Components operating segment, emissions solutions and filtration have been aggregated into a single reporting unit. This reporting unit accounts for almost 90 percent of performingour total goodwill balance at December 31, 2009.

      Also within our Components segment, our turbocharger business is considered a separate reporting unit.

      Within our Power Generation segment, our alternator business is considered a separate reporting unit.

      Within our Engine segment, our recon business is considered a separate reporting unit. This reporting unit is in the business of remanufacturing and reconditioning engines and certain engine components.

      Our Distribution segment is considered a single reporting unit as it is managed geographically and all regions share similar economic characteristics and provide similar products and services.

            No other reporting units have goodwill. Our valuation method requires us to make projections of revenue, operating expenses, working capital investment and fixed asset additions for the reporting units over a multi-year period. Additionally, management must estimate a weighted-average cost of capital, which reflects a market rate, for each reporting unit for use as a discount rate. The discounted cash flows are compared to the carrying value of the reporting unit and, if less than the carrying value, a separate valuation of the goodwill is required to determine if an impairment loss has occurred. In addition, we also perform a sensitivity analysis to determine how much our forecasts can fluctuate before the fair value of a reporting unit would be lower than its carrying amount. As of the end of the third quarter in 2009, we performed the annual impairment tests. See Note 8 forassessment required by GAAP and determined that our goodwill was not impaired. At December 31, 2009, our recorded goodwill was $364 million, approximately 90 percent of which resided in the emissions solutions plus filtration reporting unit. For this reporting unit, a further discussion about10 percent reduction in our estimated future cash flows would not have impacted our assessment. Changes in our projections or estimates, a deterioration of our operating results and the related cash flow effect or a significant increase in the discount rate could decrease the estimated fair value of our reporting units and result in a future impairment of goodwill.

    Software

    We capitalize certain costs for software that isare developed or obtained for internal use. Software costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives generally ranging from three to five years. Software assets are reviewed for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable over the remaining lives of the assets. Upgrades and enhancements are capitalized if they result in added functionality which enablessignificant modifications that enable the software to perform tasks it was previously incapable of performing. Software maintenance, training, data conversion and business process reengineering costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

    Warranty
    Warranty

    We charge the estimated costs of warranty programs, other than product recalls, to earningsincome at the time products are shipped to customers. We use historical experience of warranty programs to estimate the remaining liability for our various warranty programs. As a result of the uncertainty surrounding the nature and frequency of product recall programs, the liability for such programs is recorded when we commit to a recall action, which generally occurs when it is announced. We review and assess the liability for these programs on a quarterly basis. We also assess our ability to recover certain costs from our suppliers and record a receivable from the supplier when we believe a recovery is probable. At December 31, 2006,2009, we had $23$10 million of receivables related to estimated supplier recoveries of which $16$5 million was included in “Receivables, net”"Trade and $7other receivables, net" and $5 million was included in “Other assets”"Other assets" on ourConsolidated Balance Sheets. At December 31, 2005,2008, we had $35$16 million of receivables related to estimated supplier recoveries of which $25$8 million was included in “Receivables, net”"Trade and $10other receivables, net" and $8 million was included in “Other assets”"Other assets" on ourConsolidated Balance Sheets.

    In addition, we sell extended warranty coverage on most of our engines. The revenue collected is initially deferred and is recognized as revenue on a straight-line basisin proportion to the costs expected to be incurred in performing services over the contract period. We compare the remaining deferred revenue balance quarterly to the estimated amount of future claims under extended warranty programs and provide an additional accrual when the deferred revenue balance is less than expected future costs.

    Shipping and Handling Costs

    Our shipping and handling costs are expensed as incurred. The majority of these costs are associated with operations of our inventory distribution centers and warehouse facilities and are classified as selling and administrative expenses in our Consolidated Statements of Earnings. For purposes of this disclosure, during 2006 we expanded our definition of what is disclosed as shipping and handling costs to include additional indirect shipping and handling costs and related support functions. For comparability purposes, we have adjusted the 2005 and 2004 amounts to include shipping and handling costs under this expanded definition. For the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, these costs were approximately $130 million, $142 million and $120 million, respectively.

    Research and Development

    Our research and engineeringdevelopment program is focused on product improvements, innovations and cost reductions for our customers. We expense research and development expenditures, net of contract reimbursements, when incurred. The major components of research and development expenses are salaries, fringes and consulting fees. Research and development expenses, net of contract reimbursements, were $312$362 million in 2006, $2712009, $422 million in 20052008 and $229$318 million in 2004.2007. Contract reimbursements were $40$92 million in 2006, $552009, $61 million in 20052008 and $35$52 million in 2004.

    RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

    In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS 123R). This standard requires financial statement recognition of compensation cost related to share-based payment transactions. Share-based payment transactions within the scope of SFAS 123R include stock options, restricted stock plans, performance-based awards, stock appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. We implemented the revised standard in the first quarter of 2006. Prior to January 1, 2006, we accounted for stock-based employee awards issued after


    CUMMINS INC. AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES
    NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
    2007.

    December 31, 2002, using the fair value method preferred by SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” SFAS 123R requires us to estimate forfeitures in calculating the expense relating to stock-based compensation as opposed to recognizing these forfeitures and the corresponding reduction in expense as they occur. SFAS 123R also requires prospective presentation of the “Tax benefit on share-based awards” as a financing activity rather than an operating activity in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. See Note 19 for the impact that the adoption of this standard had on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

    In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections—a replacement of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3” (SFAS 154). This standard changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle and applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle. It also applies to changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. When a pronouncement includes specific transition provisions, those provisions should be followed. APB 20 required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by including in net income of the period of the change the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle. This standard requires retrospective application to prior period financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. The provisions of SFAS 154 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

    In September 2006, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements (SAB 108). SAB 108 was issued in order to eliminate the diversity of practice surrounding how public companies quantify financial statement misstatements. Traditionally, there have been two widely-recognized methods for quantifying the effects of financial statement misstatements: the “roll-over” method and the “iron curtain” method. The roll-over method focuses primarily on the impact of a misstatement on the income statement, including the reversing effect of prior year misstatements, but its use can lead to the accumulation of misstatements in the balance sheet. The iron curtain method, on the other hand, focuses primarily on the effect of correcting the period-end balance sheet with less emphasis on the reversing effects of prior years on the income statement. We currently use the iron curtain method for quantifying identified financial statement misstatements. In SAB 108, the SEC staff established an approach that requires quantification of financial statement misstatements based on the effects of the misstatements on each of the company’s financial statements and related financial statement disclosures. This model is commonly referred to as a “dual approach” because it requires quantification of errors under both the iron curtain and roll-over methods. We were required to apply the provisions of SAB 108 in connection with the preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statementsfor the year ended December 31, 2006. The application of SAB 108 did not have a material effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

    In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Plans and Other Postretirement Plans—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)” (SFAS 158), which requires employers to fully recognize the obligations associated with single-employer defined benefit pension, retiree healthcare and other postretirement plans in their financial statements. In addition, SFAS 158 requires companies to measure plan assets and liabilities as of the end of a fiscal year rather than a date within 90 days of the end of the fiscal year. We adopted SFAS 158 effective December 31, 2006, except for the change in measurement date provisions which are not effective until


    CUMMINS INC. AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES
    NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

    2008. Total assets, total liabilities, minority interests and total shareholders’ equity were impacted in the following manner. Total assets increased by approximately $11 million, total liabilities increased by approximately $106 million, minority interests decreased by approximately $1 million and shareholders’ equity decreased by approximately $94 million. The adoption of SFAS 158 did not impact compliance with any of our financial covenants. See Note 12 for further information regarding the impact that the adoption of this standard had on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

    ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE

    In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140” (SFAS 155). SFAS 155 changes certain accounting requirements for certain hybrid financial instruments by permitting fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation. The new standard also changed certain accounting requirements for interest-only and principal-only strips and other aspects of accounting for securitized financial assets. We will adopt SFAS 155 effective January 1, 2007. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 155 to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

    In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140” (SFAS 156), that provides guidance on accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. In accordance with the provisions of SFAS 156, separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities must be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. Subsequent to initial recognition, the company may use either the amortization method or the fair value measurement method to account for servicing assets and servicing liabilities within the scope of this Statement. We will adopt SFAS 156 effective January 1, 2007. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 156 to have a material effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

    In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (FIN 48), which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for recording in the financial statements, uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. In addition, FIN 48 provides guidance on the derecognition, classification, accounting in interim periods and disclosure requirements for uncertain tax positions. We will adopt FIN 48 effective January 1, 2007. We do not expect the adoption of FIN 48 to have a material effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

    In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. We will adopt SFAS 157 effective January 1, 2008. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, that SFAS 157 will have on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

    NOTE 2. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

    We consolidate certain VIEs if we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary, defined in FIN 46R as the entity that absorbs a majority of the VIEs’ expected losses, receives a majority of the VIEs’ expected residual returns, or both. We adopted FIN 46R as of December 31, 2003, for entities previously considered to be special purpose entities (SPEs) under GAAP and for new entities created on or after February 1, 2003. In addition, we have variable interests in other businesses including businesses accounted for under the equity method of accounting and certain North American distributors that are deemed VIEs and are


    CUMMINS INC. AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES
    NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

    subject to the provisions of FIN 46R. We adopted FIN 46R for these entities as of our first quarter ended March 28, 2004.

    During 2001, we entered into a sale-leaseback transaction with a financial institution with regard to certain heavy-duty engine manufacturing equipment. The accounting for the original sale-leaseback transaction is discussed in Note 20. The financial institution created a grantor trust to act as the lessor in the arrangement. The financial institution owns 100 percent of the equity in the trust. The grantor trust has no assets other than the equipment and its rights to the lease agreement with us. On the initial sale, we received $125 million from the financial institution which was financed with $99 million of non-recourse debt and $26 million of equity. Our obligations to the grantor trust consist of the payments due under the lease and a $9 million guarantee of the residual value of the equipment. In addition, we have a fixed price purchase option that is exercisable on January 14, 2009, for approximately $35 million. We have determined that the grantor trust is a VIE under FIN 46R and due primarily to the existence of the residual value guarantee, we determined that we are the primary beneficiary of the VIE. As a result, we began consolidating the grantor trust as of December 31, 2003, even though we own none of its equity. As of December 31, 2006, the non-recourse debt had an outstanding balance of $60 million, the assets serving as collateral on this debt had a carrying amount of $49 million and the related minority interest in the VIE was $32 million.

    In June 2001, Cummins Capital Trust I (the “Trust”), a Delaware business trust and our wholly-owned subsidiary, issued 6 million shares of 7 percent convertible quarterly income preferred securities (“preferred securities”). The total proceeds from the issuance of the preferred securities by the Trust were invested in $309 million aggregate principal amount of 7 percent convertible subordinated debentures (the “debentures”) that we issued. The debentures were the sole assets of the Trust. The Trust qualified as a VIE under FIN 46R. We were not the primary beneficiary of the Trust and thus reported the debentures rather than the preferred securities as an obligation. On May 8, 2006, the Board of Directors approved our plan to redeem all of the 7% convertible quarterly income preferred securities. As of December 31, 2005, the debentures were included in “Long-term Debt” in our Consolidated Balance Sheet. See Note 11 for information relating to this redemption.

    CUMMINS INC. AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES
    NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

    Consolidated Diesel Corporation (CDC) and Cummins Komatsu Engine Corporation (CKEC), are engine manufacturing entities jointly owned and operated by us and our equity partners. We were deemed the primary beneficiary of these VIEs due to the pricing arrangements of purchases and the substantial volume of purchases we made from these VIEs. Our arrangements with CDC are more fully described in Note 3. As of December 31, 2006, CDC has approximately $45 million of debt which is collateralized by substantially all of its inventory and fixed assets with a current book value of $46 million and $153 million, respectively. CKEC has no unsecured debt as of December 31, 2006. Creditors of these entities have no recourse to the general credit of Cummins.

    AVK/SEG is a German holding company that directly owned shares of AVK and SEG and was jointly owned by Cummins (50 percent) and other equity partners. AVK manufactures alternators and SEG manufactures power electronic components. We were deemed the primary beneficiary of this VIE due to the existence of a call/guarantee arrangement on an additional 13 percent ownership interest in the entity and our guarantee on portions of the entity’s subordinated debt. During the second quarter of 2004, AVK/SEG was liquidated and its shares in AVK and SEG were distributed directly to Cummins and the other equity partners. As a result of the liquidation, Cummins owned 100 percent of AVK, 25 percent of SEG and our call/guarantee arrangement to obtain an additional ownership interest in SEG increased from 13 percent to 19 percent. This transaction was accounted for as an acquisition of a minority interest in AVK (via a nonmonetary exchange of shares) and was recorded at fair value, resulting in a nominal gain (less than $1 million after-tax). During 2005, Cummins exercised its call option to purchase an additional 19 percent ownership in SEG. In addition, SEG failed to timely repay certain intercompany loans due to Cummins which increased our ownership percentage by an additional 7 percent. As a result of these transactions, Cummins owned 51 percent of SEG. During the fourth quarter of 2006, we sold our interest in SEG, therefore they are no longer consolidated in our Consolidated Financial Statements. The sale resulted in a pre-tax gain of approximately $9 million. Total assets of SEG were approximately $42 million at the date of the transaction and $39 million at December 31, 2005, which is less than 1 percent of our total assets at those dates. Total sales of SEG were approximately $51 million and $72 million, for the ten months ended October 31, 2006 and for the year ended December 31, 2005, respectively, which is less than 1 percent of our total net sales for these periods.

    In April 2004, Cummins Eastern Canada (CEC), a distributor previously accounted for under the equity method, acquired another Cummins distributor in Canada. The acquisition price of the distributor was $19 million ($18 million, net of cash acquired), which was funded by the addition of $15 million of debt and an additional $4 million equity investment by Cummins. The additional equity contributed by Cummins increased our ownership percentage in CEC to 67 percent (50 percent prior to the acquisition.) At the same time, we reached an agreement to sell a 16 percent ownership interest in CEC to another equity holder. This sale was completed during the third quarter of 2004. As a result of this sale, our ownership percentage in CEC was reduced from 67 percent to 51 percent. We agreed to accept a note from the equity holder for its purchase of the 16 percent ownership interest. The note was to be repaid from distributions of future CEC earnings. Immediately upon repayment of the loan, the equity holder has an option agreement to purchase an additional 1 percent ownership share from Cummins. We also agreed with the other shareholders to maintain our voting interest at 50 percent. We do not have management or voting control over CEC. In accordance with FIN 46R, CEC is consolidated in our Consolidated Financial Statements due to our current 51 percent economic interest and deemed interest of 16 percent resulting from our financing of the other equity holder’s purchase. As of December 31, 2006, CEC has approximately $23 million of debt which is collateralized by various current and fixed assets with a current


    CUMMINS INC. AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES
    NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

    book value of $62 million. Creditors of CEC have no recourse to the general credit of Cummins. On January 3, 2007, the equity holder repaid the balance due on the outstanding note of $3.3 million and exercised the purchase option on the additional 1 percent share for $0.3 million. The repayment of the loan and the exercise of the purchase option triggered a reassessment under FIN 46R, resulting in the deconsolidation of CEC. The results of CEC will no longer be consolidated in our Consolidated Financial Statements beginning with the results of the first quarter of 2007.

    Results of these entities for the year ended December 31, 2006, are consolidated in our Consolidated Statements of Earnings and a significant amount of their sales are eliminated in consolidation. The table below shows the increase in our assets and liabilities from consolidating these entities, after eliminating intercompany items, as of December 31, 2006, as follows:

    We also have variable interests in three North American distributors that were deemed to be VIEs in accordance with FIN 46R, but we were not deemed to be the primary beneficiarysince we do not absorb a majority of the entity’s expected losses. Our ownership percentage in these entities ranges from zero percent to 50 percent. For all three of the entities, our equity ownership represents our only variable interest in the entity and thus we would not be deemed the primary beneficiary.

    The principal business of the distributors is to sell Cummins engines and related service parts as well as provide repair and maintenance services on engines, including warranty repairs. Our maximum potential loss related to these three distributors as of December 31, 2006, consisted of our ownership interest totaling $14 million. Our involvement with these distributors as equity holders began in 2005, 2003 and 2002.

    Related Party Transactions

    In accordance with the provisions of various joint venture agreements, we may purchase products and components from the joint ventures, sell products and components to the joint ventures and the joint ventures may sell products and components to unrelated parties. Joint venture transfer prices to us may differ from normal selling prices. Certain joint venture agreements transfer product to us at cost, some transfer product to us on a cost-plus basis, and others transfer product to us at market value.

    We purchase significant quantities of midrange diesel and natural gas engines, components and service parts from CDC, a general partnership and a VIE (see Note 2) that we began to consolidate on

    value. Our related party sales are general partners and each partner shares 50 percent ownership in CDC. Underpresented on the termsface of the agreement, CDC is obligated to make its entire production of diesel engines and related products available solely to the partners. Each partner is entitled to purchase up to one-half of CDC’s actual production; a partner may purchase in excess of one-half of actual production to the extent productive capacity is available beyond the other partner’s purchase requirement. The partners are each obligated, unconditionally and severally, to purchase annually at least one engine or engine kit produced by CDC, provided a minimum of one engine or kit is produced. The transfer price of CDC’s engines to the partners must be sufficient to cover its manufacturing cost in such annual accounting period, including interest and financing expenses, and excluding depreciation expense (other than Scheduled Depreciation Expense as defined in the agreement). In addition, each partner is obligated to contribute one-half of the capital investment required to maintain plant capacity and each partner has the right to invest unilaterally in plant capacity, which additional capacity can be utilized by the other partner for a fee. To date, neither partner has made a unilateral investment in plant capacity at CDC.our

    We are not a guarantor of any of CDC’s obligations or commitments; however, we are required to provide up to 50 percent of CDC’s base working capital as defined by the agreement. The amount of base working capital is calculated each quarter and if supplemental funding greater than the base working capital amount is required, the amount is funded through third-party financing arranged by CDC, or we may elect to fund the requirement although we are under no obligation to do so. To date, when supplemental funding is required above the base working capital amount, we have elected to provide that funding to CDC. If the amount of supplemental funding required is less than the base working capital amount, it is funded equally by the partners. Excess cash generated by CDC is remitted to Cummins until CDC’s working capital amount is reduced to the base working capital amount. Any further cash remittances from CDC to the partners are shared equally by the partners.

    All marketing, selling, warranty and research and development expenses related to CDC products are the responsibility of the partners and CDC does not incur any of these expenses. Cummins also provides purchasing and administrative procurement services to CDC for an annual fee shared by the partners.

    All of our engine purchases from CDC are shipped directly from CDC to our customers. Prior to March 28, 2004, purchases were recorded as “Cost of sales” in our Consolidated Statements of Earnings Incomeas CDC was accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Subsequent to March 28, 2004, all engine purchases from CDC were eliminated in consolidation.. Our engine purchases from CDC are recorded at CDC’s transfer price which is based upon total production costs of products shipped and an allocation of all other costs incurred during the reporting period, resulting in break-even operating results for CDC.

    The following table summarizes our related party purchases were not material to our financial position or results of operations.


    RECENTLY ADOPTED AND RECENTY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

    Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted

            In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) amended its existing standards for business combinations, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The amended standards make significant changes to both the accounting and disclosures related to the acquisition of a business and could materially impact how we account for future business combination transactions. Because the standard will only impact transactions entered into after January 1, 2009, the amended standards did not impact ourConsolidated Financial Statements upon adoption.

            In December 2007, the FASB amended its existing standards for noncontrolling interests in consolidated financial statements, which was effective for interim and annual fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2008. The new standard established accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the accounting for future ownership changes with respect to those subsidiaries. The new standard defined a noncontrolling interest, previously called a minority interest, as the portion of equity in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent. The new standard required, among other items, that a noncontrolling interest be included in “Costthe consolidated balance sheet within equity, separate from the parent's equity; consolidated net income to be reported at amounts inclusive of sales”both the parent's and noncontrolling interest's shares and, separately, the amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and noncontrolling interest all on the consolidated statements of income; and if a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in our Consolidated Statementsthe former subsidiary be measured at fair value and a gain or loss be recognized in net income based on such fair value. We adopted the new standard effective January 1, 2009, and applied it retrospectively. As a result, we reclassified noncontrolling interests of Earnings:$246 million, $292 million and $253 million, respectively, from the mezzanine section to equity in the December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 balance sheets. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the presentation of the current period under the new standard.

            In March 2008, the FASB amended its existing standards for disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities, which was effective for interim and annual fiscal periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The new standards require enhanced disclosures about a company's derivative and hedging activities. We adopted the new standard effective January 1, 2009, and applied it prospectively. The new disclosures required are included in Note 20.

            In June 2009, the FASB amended its existing standards for subsequent events, which was effective for interim and annual fiscal periods ending after June 15, 2009, and established general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. The new standard established the period after the balance sheet date during which we should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances under which we should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date and the disclosures that should be made about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date.

    Accounting Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Effective

            In June 2009, the FASB amended its standards for accounting for transfers of Cash Flows includefinancial assets, which is effective for interim and annual fiscal periods beginning after November 15, 2009. The new standard removes the investee equity earningsconcept of a qualifying special-purpose entity from GAAP. The new standard modifies the financial-components approach used in previous standards and limits the circumstances in which a financial asset, or portion of a financial asset, should be derecognized. The new standard also requires enhanced disclosure regarding transfers of financial interests and a transferor's continuing involvement with transferred assets. The new standard will require us to report any future activity under our sale of receivables program as reported abovesecured borrowings as well asof January 1, 2010. As of December 31, 2009, we had no amounts outstanding under this program.

            In June 2009, the FASB amended its existing standards related to the consolidation of variable interest entities, which is effective for interim and annual fiscal periods beginning after November 15, 2009. The new standard requires entities to analyze whether their variable interests give it a controlling financial interest of a variable interest entity (VIE) and outlines what defines a primary beneficiary. The new standard amends GAAP by: (a) changing certain rules for determining whether an entity is a VIE; (b) replacing the quantitative approach previously required for determining the primary beneficiary with a more qualitative approach; and (c) requiring entities to continuously analyze whether they are the primary beneficiary of a VIE among other non-cash adjustments.amendments. The most significant adjustmentnew standard also requires enhanced disclosures regarding an entity's involvement in a VIE. While we are still finalizing our evaluation of the impact of this amendment on ourConsolidated Financial Statements, we believe the only impact will be the deconsolidation of Cummins Komatsu Engine Company (CKEC). This deconsolidation will not have a material impact on ourConsolidated Financial Statements. Financial information about CKEC is included in Note 23.

            In October 2009, the statementFASB amended its rules regarding the accounting for multiple element revenue arrangements. The objective of cash flowsthe amendment is depreciation recorded by CDC, which prior to FIN 46R was allocatedallow 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 joint venture partners based on the amount of their purchases.different deliverables when more than one deliverable exists. The new rules are effective for us beginning January 1, 2011. We classified depreciation and other non-cash expenses related to CDC as “Cost of sales” and “Other (income) expense,” respectively,are in the process of evaluating the impact that this amendment will have on ourConsolidated Financial Statements.

            In 2009, we executed restructuring actions in response to a reduction in orders in most of our U.S. and foreign markets due to the continuing deterioration in the global economy. We reduced our global workforce by approximately 1,000 professional employees. In addition, we took numerous employee actions at many of our manufacturing locations, including approximately 3,200 hourly employees, significant downsizing at numerous facilities and complete closure of several facilities and branch distributor locations. Employee termination and severance costs were recorded based on approved plans developed by the businesses and corporate management which specified positions to be eliminated, benefits to be paid under existing severance plans, union contracts or statutory requirements and the expected timetable for completion of the plan. Estimates of restructuring were made based on information available at the time charges were recorded. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved, actual amounts paid for such activities may differ from amounts initially recorded and we may need to revise previous estimates.

            We incurred $2 million of restructuring expenses for lease terminations and $5 million of restructuring expenses for asset impairments in response to closures and downsizing noted above. During 2009, we recorded a total pre-tax restructuring charge of $85 million, comprising $90 million of charges related to 2009 actions net of the $3 million favorable change in estimate related to 2008 actions and the $2 million favorable change in estimate related to earlier 2009 actions, in

    2008 Restructuring Actions

            We executed restructuring actions primarily in the form of voluntary and involuntary separation programs in the fourth quarter of 2008. These actions were in response to the continued deterioration in our U.S. businesses and most key markets around the world in the second half of 2008, as well as a reduction in orders in most U.S. and global markets for 2009. We reduced our worldwide professional workforce by approximately 650 employees, or 4.5 percent. We offered a voluntary retirement package to certain active professional employees in the U.S. based on a clearly defined set of criteria. We also took voluntary and involuntary actions which included approximately 800 hourly employees, the majority of which received severance benefits. The compensation packages contained salary and continuation of benefits, including health care, life insurance and outplacement services. The voluntary retirement package was accepted by approximately 150 employees. The remaining professional reductions of 500 employees were involuntary. The expenses recorded during the year ended December 31, 2008, included severance costs related to both voluntary and involuntary terminations. During 2008, we incurred a pre-tax charge related to the professional and hourly restructuring initiatives of approximately $37 million.

            Employee termination and severance costs were recorded based on approved plans developed by the businesses and corporate management which specified positions to be eliminated, benefits to be paid under existing severance plans or statutory requirements and the expected timetable for completion of the plan. Estimates of restructuring were made based on information available at the time charges were recorded. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved, actual amounts paid for such activities may differ from amounts initially recorded and we may need to revise previous estimates.

            At December 31, 2008, of the approximately 1,450 employees affected by this plan, 1,250 had been terminated. All terminations were substantially complete as of December 31, 2009.

            The table below summarizes the balance of accrued restructuring expenses for 2008 actions, which were included in the balance of "Other accrued expenses" in ourConsolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2009 and 2008:

            Except for the United Kingdom (U.K.) group, we provide for the additional taxes that would be due upon the dividend distribution of the income of our foreign subsidiaries and joint ventures assuming the full utilization of foreign tax credits. The unremitted income of the U.K. group is considered to be permanently reinvested and the determination of the deferred tax liability, if any, that might be due should that income be distributed is not practicable. During 2009, we released $19 million of deferred U.S. tax liabilities related to prior years unremitted income of the Singapore subsidiaries of our U.K. group now considered to also be permanently reinvested. Income before income taxes includes equity income of foreign joint ventures of $117 million, $140 million and $118 million for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. This equity income is recorded net of foreign taxes. Additional U.S. income taxes of $31 million, $30 million and $18 million for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively, were provided for the additional U.S. taxes that will ultimately be due upon the distribution of the foreign joint venture equity income.

Our foreign carryforward benefits include $20 million of net operating loss carryforwards that begin to expire in 2013. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the gross deferred tax assets to an amount we believe is more likely than not to be realized. The valuation allowance increased in 2009 by a net $19 million and increased in 2008 by a net $1 million. The valuation allowance is primarily attributable to the uncertainty regarding the realization of a portion of the U.S. state and foreign net operating loss and tax credit carryforward benefits.

            On January 1, 2007, the FASB amended its existing accounting standards related to the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. The amended standards prescribe a recognition threshold that a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements and provide guidance on derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition rules.

Also, we had accrued interest expense related to the unrecognized tax benefits of $22 million, $14 million and $11 million as of December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. We recognize potential accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. During the years ending December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, we recognized approximately $4 million, $2 million and $2 million in interest expense, respectively.

            As a result of our global operations, we file income tax returns in various jurisdictions including U.S. federal, U.S. state and foreign jurisdictions. We are routinely subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world, including Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, France, India, Mexico, the U.K. and the U.S. Our U.S. federal income tax returns have been examined through 2004. With few exceptions, major U.S. state and foreign jurisdictions are no longer subject to income tax examinations for years before 2004. Various U.S. state and foreign tax audits are currently underway; however, we do not expect any significant change to our unrecognized tax benefits within the next year.

    NOTE 5. SALES6. FAIR VALUE OF RECEIVABLESFINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

    In January 2004, we entered intoSeptember 2006, the FASB amended its existing fair value standards, which defines fair value, establishes a three-year facility agreement withmarket-based framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The amended standards are applicable whenever another accounting pronouncement requires or permits assets and liabilities to be measured at fair value. The amended standards do not expand or require any new fair value measures. The standards are effective for financial assets and financial liabilities for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The FASB issued a financial institution to sell a designated pool of trade receivables to Cummins Trade Receivables, LLC (CTR), a wholly-owned, consolidated special purpose subsidiary. In January 2007, this facility was extended for one year. As necessary, CTR may transfer a direct interest in its receivables, without recourse, to the financial institution. To maintain a balance in the designated pools of receivables sold, we sell new receivables to CTR as existing receivables are collected. Receivables sold to CTR in which an interest is not transferred to the financial institution are included in “Receivables, net” on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The maximum interest in sold receivables that can be outstanding at any point in time is limited to the lesser of $200 million or the amount of eligible receivables held by CTR. There are no provisions in this agreement that require us to maintain a minimum investment credit rating; however, the termspartial deferral of the agreement containeffective date of the same financial covenantsamended standards that deferred the effective date for most non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. We adopted the amended standards prospectively for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2008, except for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities as those described under our revolving credit facility (see Note 11). There was no interest in receivables sold under this program to the financial institution in 2006 and 2005, and the interest in receivables sold in 2004 was not significant. Asdeferred until January 1, 2009. The amended

            As defined by the amended standards, fair value is the price that would be received to either subsidiary were written off during 2006, 2005sell an asset or 2004. The weighted-average interest rate on repayments during 2004 was 2.6 percent. The sold receivables servicing portfolio, which is includedpaid to transfer a liability in receivablesan orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). We utilize market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the proceeds fromrisks inherent in the saleinputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable. We primarily apply the market approach for recurring fair value measurements and utilize the best available information. Accordingly, we utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of receivablesobservable inputs and other related cash flowsminimize the use of unobservable inputs. The company is able to classify fair value balances based on the observability of those inputs. The amended standards establish a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurement). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy defined by GAAP are as follows:

      Level 1—Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments such as listed equities and publicly traded bonds.

      Level 2—Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. These models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value, volatility factors, and current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument, can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace. Instruments in this category include non-exchange-traded derivatives such as over-the-counter forwards and options.

      Level 3—Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management's best estimate of fair value. At each balance sheet date, the company performs an analysis of all instruments subject to fair value accounting under GAAP and includes, in level 3, all of those whose fair value is based on significant unobservable inputs. At December 31, 2009, we did not have any level 3 financial assets or liabilities, other than those in our pension plan (see Note 12).

            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. The predominance of market inputs are actively quoted and can be validated through external sources, including brokers, market transactions and third-party pricing services.

            The fair value measurement of derivatives results primarily from level 2 inputs. Many of our derivative contracts are valued utilizing publicly available pricing data of contracts with similar terms. In

    We have elected to perform the annual impairment test of our recorded goodwill as required by SFAS 142GAAP as of the end of our third quarter. The results of this annual impairment test indicated that the fair value of each of our reporting units as of October 1, 2006September 27, 2009 and September 25, 2005,28, 2008, exceeded their carrying, or book value, including goodwill, and therefore our recorded goodwill was not subject to impairment.

The unremitted earnings of the U.K. group are considered to be permanently reinvested and the determination of the deferred tax liability, if any, that might be due should those earnings be distributed is not practicable. Earnings before income taxes include equity earnings of foreign joint ventures of $78 million, $75were $37 million and $74$39 million, for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005,respectively, and 2004, respectively.

    December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, were provided on the distributed equity earnings and for the estimated additional U.S. taxes that will ultimately be due upon the distribution of the remaining unremitted foreign joint venture equity earnings. The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (Jobs Act) included a special one-year 85-percent dividend deduction for qualifying dividends repatriated from foreign operations in 2005. The application of these rules to foreign joint venture dividend repatriations of $71 million reduced our 2005 income tax provision by $16 million (2.0 percent).

    The Jobs Act also repeals the U.S. export tax benefits beginning in 2007 and phases the benefits down to 80 percent of their value in 2005 and 60 percent in 2006. The export benefits are partially replaced with a new U.S. manufacturer’s tax deduction which phases in one-third in 2005-2006, two-thirds in 2007-2009 and 100 percent after 2009. The U.S. manufacturer’s tax benefit for 2006 and 2005 was $3 million (0.3 percent) and $2 million (0.3 percent), respectively.

    Our 2006 income tax provision includes a $28 million (2.6 percent) reduction in the second quarter due to the favorable resolution of tax uncertainties related to prior years, and a $10 million (0.9 percent) reduction in the fourth quarter due to the retroactive reinstatement of the U.S. research tax credit. The state income tax provision for 2006 includes a $12 million (1.1 percent) increase in the first quarter for the effect of new Indiana tax legislation.

    Our 2005 income tax provision includes an $8 million (1.0 percent) reduction due to the favorable resolution in the fourth quarter of 2005 of prior year tax positions which had been in dispute.

    The state income tax benefit for 2004 includes recognition of $16 million (3.7 percent) of state carryforward benefits that we determined, based on improved operating results, are more likely than not to be realized in the future. These benefits had previously been reserved with a valuation allowance. The state income tax benefit for 2004 also included a $9 million (2.1 percent) benefit to recognize a change in the average estimated state income tax rate which increased the net deferred state tax assets.

    Export tax benefits for 2004 include $11 million (2.5 percent) related to prior years. As a consequence of improved cash flow during 2004, we filed amended tax returns and claimed additional export tax benefits related to prior years which we previously had forgone to avoid the associated tax payments on non-exempt export income by our foreign sales corporation.

    During 2004, as a result of continued earnings improvement and improved outlook, we reassessed the treatment of our 2002 and 2003 foreign tax credits previously recognized as tax deductions and determined they could be used as full tax credits. The $25 million (5.8 percent) benefit from the more favorable treatment of these tax credits is included in “Differences in rates and taxability of foreign subsidiaries and joint ventures” in the above table.

The valuation allowance decreased in 2006 by a net $5 million and in 2005 by a net $8 million.

    Revolving Credit Facility

            On June 30, 2008, we entered into a three-year revolving credit agreement with a syndicate of lenders. The credit agreement provides us with a $1.1 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility, the proceeds of which are to be used by us for working capital or other general corporate purposes.

            The credit facility matures on June 30, 2011. Amounts payable under our revolving credit facility will rank pro rata with all of our other unsecured, unsubordinated indebtedness. Up to $100 million under our credit facility is available for swingline loans denominated in U.S. dollars. Advances under the facility bear interest at (i) a base rate or (ii) a rate equal to LIBOR plus an applicable margin based on the credit ratings of our outstanding senior unsecured long-term debt. Based on our current long-term debt ratings, the applicable margin on LIBOR loans was 0.75 percent per annum as of December 31, 2009. Advances under the facility may be prepaid without premium or penalty, subject to customary breakage costs.

            The credit agreement includes various covenants, including, among others, maintaining a leverage ratio of no more than 3.0 to 1.0 and maintaining fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.5 to 1.0. As of December 31, 2006,2009, we had $542 millionwere in compliance with all such covenants, including our leverage ratio of 0.6 to 1.0 and our fixed charge coverage ratio of 22.5 to 1.0.

            The table below is a reconciliation of the maximum capacity of our revolver to the amount available forunder the facility as of December 31, 2009 and 2008. There were no outstanding borrowings under our $650 million revolving creditthis facility and $123at December 31, 2009.

    Our debt agreements contain several restrictive covenants. The most restrictive of these covenants applies to our revolving credit facility which will, among other things, limit our ability to incur additional debt or issue preferred stock, enter into sale-leaseback transactions, pay dividends, sell or create liens on our assets, make investments and merge or consolidate with any other person. In addition, we are subject to various financial covenants including a maximum debt-to-EBITDA ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio.

Interest is payable semi-annually at a rate of 6.92%. The note is collateralized by substantially all of CDC’s inventory and fixed assets with a current book value of $46 million and $153 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2006.

    Junior Convertible Subordinated Debentures

    In June 2001, Cummins Capital Trust I (the “Trust”), a Delaware business trust and our wholly-owned subsidiary, issued 6 million shares of 7% convertible quarterly income preferred securities (“preferred securities”), to qualified institutional buyers for net proceeds of $291 million. The preferred securities represent an undivided beneficial ownership interest in the assets of the Trust. The total proceeds from the issuance of the preferred securities by the Trust were invested in $309 million aggregate principal amount of 7% convertible subordinated debentures (the “debentures”) that we issued.

    On May 8, 2006,        During 2008 and 2009, actual cost trends for certain midrange engine products, including product launched in 2007 and for which warranty periods can extend to five years, indicated higher per claim repair cost than the Boardproduct on which the initial accrual rate was developed. These products include more electronic parts than historical models contributing to the higher cost per claim. In addition, certain products introduced in 2003 and sold prior to 2007 for which the warranty period extended five years also demonstrated a higher cost per claim than that of Directors approvedpredecessor products. We increased our plan to redeem all of the 7% convertible quarterly income preferred securities. On May 9, 2006, we gave the trustee our formal irrevocable notification of our intent to redeem the preferred securities. This notification provided the holders of the preferred securities 30 daysliability in which to convert their securities into shares of common stock. Upon expiration of the notification period, all remaining securities not converted were redeemed for cash at a premium above liquidation value. Substantially all of the $300 million 7% convertible subordinated debentures outstanding were converted into shares of our common stock during the second quarter of 2006. As a result of the conversion, approximately 6.3 million shares of common stock were issued which resulted in an increase of approximately $15 million to common stock outstanding2008 and an increase of approximately $276 million to additional contributed capital. Since substantially all holders converted their preferred securities to common stock, the loss on extinguishment of this debt was not material.2009 as these experience trends became evident.

            As disclosed in Note 3, "RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER CHARGES," to ourConsolidated Financial Statements, we executed restructuring actions in 2009. As a result, our pension benefit plans were remeasured and we recognized curtailment losses, as prescribed under GAAP pension standards, due to the significant reduction in the expected aggregate years of future service of the employees affected by the endactions. In the third and fourth quarters of 2007.2009, we recorded net curtailment losses of $5 million and $1 million for U.S. and non-U.S. plans, respectively, and $2 million for our less significant plans in other countries outside the U.S. and the U.K. The curtailment losses include recognition of the change in the PBO and a portion of the previously unrecognized prior service cost reflecting the reduction in expected future service.

    Plan Assets

            Our investment policies in the U.S. and U.K. provide for the rebalancing of assets to maintain our long-term strategic asset allocation. We are committed to its long-term strategy and do not attempt to time the market given empirical evidence that asset allocation is more critical than individual asset or investment manager selection. Rebalancing of the assets has and continues to occur. The rebalancing is critical to having the proper weighting of assets to achieve the expected total portfolio returns. We believe that our portfolio is highly diversified and does not have any significant exposure to concentration risk. The plan assets for our defined benefit pension plans do not include any of our common stock.

    U.S. Plan Assets

            For the U.S. qualified pension plans, our assumption for the expected return on assets was 8.25 percent in 2009. Projected returns are based primarily on broad, publicly traded equity and fixed income indices and forward-looking estimates of active portfolio and investment management. As of December 31, 2009, based upon our target asset allocations it is anticipated that our U.S. investment policy will generate an average annual return over the 20-year projection period equal to or in excess of 7.50 percent, approximately 40 percent of the time, while returns of 8.70 percent or greater are anticipated 25 percent of the time. We expect additional positive returns from active investment management. As a result, based on the historical returns and forward-looking return expectations, we have elected to use an assumption of 8.00 percent per year in 2010. The primary investment objective is to exceed, on a net-of-fee basis, the rate of return of a policy portfolio comprised of the following:

    Asset Class
    TargetRange

    U.S. equities

    31%26 - 36%

    Non-U.S. equities

    8%4 - 12%

    Fixed-income

    30%25 - 35%

    Total

    100%

            The fixed income component is structured to represent a custom bond benchmark constructed to closely represent the monthly change in the value of Cummins' liabilities. This component is structured in such a way that its benchmark covers 50 percent of the plan's exposure to changes in its discount

    rate (AA corporate bond yields). In order to achieve a hedge on more than the targeted 30 percent of Plan assets invested in fixed income securities, the Committee may instruct the fixed income managers, other manager(s) or the custodian/trustee to utilize derivative securities in an overlay fashion, which would further reduce the Plan's risk of declining interest rates in what is referred to as a Liability Driven Investment strategy. However, all managers hired to manage assets for the trust are prohibited from using leverage unless specifically discussed with the Committee and allowed for in their guidelines.

    UK Plan Assets

            The methodology used to determine the rate of return on pension plan assets in the U.K. was based on establishing an equity-risk premium over current long-term bond yields adjusted based on target asset allocations. Our strategy with respect to our investments in these assets is to be invested in a suitable mixture of return-seeking assets (equities and property and liability matching assets (bonds) with a long-term outlook. Therefore, the risk and return balance of our U.K. asset portfolio should reflect a long-term horizon. To achieve these objectives we have established the following targets:

    Asset Class
    TargetRange

    UK equities

    31%+/- 2.5%

    Non-UK equities

    22%+/- 2.5%

            As part of our strategy in the U.K. we have not prohibited the use of any financial instrument, including derivatives.

            The investments in private equity and real estate funds, for which quoted market prices are not available, are valued at their estimated fair value as determined by applicable investment managers or by quarterly financial statements of the funds. These financial statements are audited at least annually. The fair value of all real estate properties, held in the partnerships, are valued at least once per year by an independent professional real estate valuation firm. Fair value generally represents the fund's proportionate share of the net assets of the investment partnerships as reported by the general partners of the underlying partnerships. Some securities with no readily available market are initially valued at cost, utilizing independent professional valuation firms as well as market comparisons with subsequent adjustments to values which reflect either the basis of meaningful third-party transactions in the private market or the fair value deemed appropriate by the general partners of the underlying investment partnerships. In such instances, consideration is also given to the financial condition and operating results of the issuer, the amount that the investment partnerships can reasonably expect to realize upon the sale of the securities and any other factors deemed relevant. The estimated fair values are subject to uncertainty and therefore may differ from the values that would have been used had a ready market for such investments existed and such differences could be material.


    Estimated Future Contributions and Benefit Payments

            We plan to contribute approximately $230$175 million to $240$185 million to our defined benefit pension plans in 2010. The table below presents expected future benefit payments under our pension plans:

    OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS

    Our other postretirement benefit plans provide various health care and life insurance benefits to eligible employees, who retire and satisfy certain age and service requirements, and their dependents. The plans are contributory and contain cost-sharing features such as caps, deductibles, coinsurance and spousal contributions. Company contributions are limited by formulas in each plan. Retiree contributions for health care benefits are adjusted annually and we reserve the right to change benefits covered under these plans. There were no plan assets for the postretirement benefit plans as our policy is to fund benefits and expenses for these plans as claims and premiums are incurred.

    We made several changes to our plan provisions that are reflected in our December 31, 2005, liability which included the elimination of retiree dental coverage, contribution rate changes
    Obligations and changes in plan design to more effective providers.

    Adoption of SFAS 158Funded Status

    On September 29, 2006, SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans” was issued. SFAS 158 requires, among other things, the recognition of the funded status of each defined benefit pension plan, retiree health care and other postretirement benefit plans on the balance sheet. Each overfunded plan is recognized as an asset and each underfunded plan is recognized as a liability. The initial impact of the standard due to unrecognized prior service costs or credits and net unrecognized actuarial gains or losses as well as subsequent changes in the funded status is recognized as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in shareholder’s equity. Additional minimum pension liabilities (AML) and related intangible assets are also reversed upon adoption of the new standard. SFAS 158 requires initial application for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006. We adopted SFAS 158 as of December 31, 2006, except for the provision requiring companies to measure plan assets and liabilities as of the end of a fiscal year which is not effective until 2008. The following table summarizes the effect of required changes in the AML as of December 31, 2006, prior to the adoption of SFAS 158 as well as the impact of the initial adoption of SFAS 158.

    As it relates to pension benefits, the AML was eliminated upon the adoption of SFAS 158. The estimated accumulated benefit obligation related to the U.S., U.K. and several other smaller pension plans exceeded the fair value of the plan assets as of December 31, 2006 and 2005. In 2005, the AML increased by $24 million (after tax and minority interest). Prior to adopting SFAS 158, a decrease in the AML resulted in a $102 million credit (after tax and minority interest) to shareholders’ equity in 2006. The net impact to shareholder’s equity, including foreign currency translation effects, was $81 million. The adoption of SFAS 158 resulted in a net charge to shareholders’ equity of $91 million, including $4 million of foreign currency translation effects. The net charge to shareholders’ equity at December 31, 2006, as a result of the decrease in the AML and the adoption of SFAS 158 is $10 million. For postretirement benefits, the adoption of SFAS 158 resulted in a charge to shareholders’ equity of $3 million.

    SFAS 158 provided guidance on current and non-current classifications for defined benefit pension plan liabilities. Specifically, if there is inadequate funding in the plan assets to cover the next 12 months of benefit payments, the shortfall must be classified as a current liability. If there is adequate funding the pension liability is classified as noncurrent. This methodology is applied on a plan by plan basis and cannot be applied retrospectively under SFAS 158. At December 31, 2006, we classified $6 million as a current pension liability in “Other accrued expenses” compared to $174 million at December 31, 2005.

            As disclosed in Note 3, "RESTUCTURING AND OTHER CHARGES," to ourConsolidated Financial Statements, we executed restructuring actions in 2009. As a result, our U.S. postretirement benefit plans were remeasured and we recognized curtailment losses, as prescribed under GAAP other postretirement benefit standards, due to the significant reduction in the expected aggregate years of future service of the employees affected by the actions. In the third quarter of 2009, we recorded net curtailment losses of $6 million. The curtailment losses include recognition of the change in the APBO and a portion of the previously unrecognized prior service cost reflecting the reduction in expected future service.

            Our consolidated other postretirement benefit obligation is determined by application of the terms of health care and life insurance plans, together with relevant actuarial assumptions and health care cost trend rates. For measurement purposes, an 8.5 percent annual rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered health care benefits was assumed in 2010. The rate was assumed to decrease on a linear basis to 5.0 percent through 2017 and remain at that level thereafter. An increase in the health care cost trends of one percent would increase our APBO by $20 million as of December 31, 2009 and the net periodic other postretirement benefit expense for 2010 by $1 million. A decrease in the health care cost trends of 1 percent would decrease our APBO by $18 million as of December 31, 2009 and the net periodic other postretirement benefit expense for 2010 by $1 million.

    The Medicare Prescription Drug Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 was reflected in the APBO beginning December 31, 2004, assuming we will continue to provide a prescription drug benefit to retirees that is at least actuarially equivalent to Medicare Part D and we will receive the federal subsidy.

    The APBO at December 31, 2004, decreased by We received a subsidy of approximately $28 million due to the effect of the federal subsidy, and the net periodic postretirement benefit cost for 2005 and 2006 was reduced by approximately $4$5 million in both years.2009.

    Our consolidated postretirement benefit obligation is determined by application of the terms of health care and life insurance plans, together with relevant actuarial assumptions and health care cost trend rates. For measurement purposes, a 9 percent annual rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered health care benefits was assumed in 2006. The rate was assumed to decrease on a linear basis to 5 percent through 2010 and remain at that level thereafter. An increase in the health care cost trends of 1 percent would increase our APBO by $23 million as of December 31, 2006 and the net periodic postretirement benefit expense for 2006 by $1 million. A decrease in the health care cost trends of 1 percent would decrease our APBO by $20 million as of December 31, 2006 and the net periodic postretirement benefit expense for 2006 by $1 million.

    Residual Value Guarantees

    We have various residual value guarantees on equipment leased under operating leases. The total amount of these residual value guarantees at December 31, 2006,2009, and 2008 was $8 million.


    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. TheAs of December 31, 2009, the maximum potential loss related to these other guarantees is $7$75 million at December 31, 2006.($74 million of which relates to the Beijing Foton 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.costs in most instances. At December 31, 2006,2009, if we were to stop purchasing from each of these suppliers, the amount of the penalty would be approximately $17 million. However, based$69 million, of which $62 million relates to a six year contract with an engine parts supplier that extends from 2008 to 2013.

As of December 31, 2009, outstanding borrowings under this agreement were $148 million and our guarantee was $74 million (at current exchange rates). We recorded a liability for the fair value of this guarantee in accordance with guarantor's accounting and disclosure requirements for guarantees, including indirect guarantees of indebtedness of others. 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. Performance bonds and other performance-related guarantees were $75 million and $32 million as of December 31, 2009 and 2008.

            We had a standby commitment with Irwin Financial Corporation (Irwin) to purchase up to $25 million of its common shares in connection with a potential rights offering being planned by Irwin. Our commitment was subject to the satisfaction of several conditions. On September 18, 2009, Irwin Union Bank and Trust Company, Columbus, Indiana, was placed into receivership by the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions and Irwin Union Bank, F.S.B., Louisville, Kentucky, was placed into receivership by the Office of Thrift Supervision. In light of these actions, Cummins terminated the Standby Purchase Agreement on September 21, 2009, and no further commitments to Irwin remain.


    Indemnities

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

      ·product liability and license, patent or trademark indemnifications,

      indemnities,·

      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 indemnificationsindemnities and accrue for expected losses that are probable. Because the indemnificationsindemnities 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.indemnities.

    Rental Business

    Minority shareholders’ interests        A significant portion of the equipment in our rental business is financed under capital leases. During the third quarter of 2006, we extended a lease related to a portion of our rental business by six years. The lease was set to expire on September 30, 2006. Instead of paying a balloon payment of approximately $42 million on September 30, 2006, the amount was financed over a six-year term at a fixed rate. In addition to extending this lease, we reduced the interest rate by approximately 2 percentage points. During the fourth quarter of 2006, we refinanced a lease related to another portion of our rental business. Under the terms of the agreement which was effective January 1, 2007, the new lease has a six-year term with a fixed rate that is approximately 2 percentage points lower than the previous lease. The total amount refinanced was approximately $28 million. These two leases are with two different lessors. Under each lease we are permitted to prepay, subject to certain conditions, the outstanding balance under the lease for the principal amount outstanding plus a prepayment penalty. For each of these leases we have the option to purchase the equipment at the end of the lease term for one dollar. The equipment under these leases is capitalized and amortized over its estimated useful life. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, we had outstanding capital leases under this program of $9 million and $43 million, respectively. Future lease payments, including repurchase obligations, under each lease are included in the table above.

    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 owns all of the equity in the trust. The grantor trust has no assets other than the equipment and its rights to the lease agreement with us. On the initial sale, we received $125 million from the financial institution which was financed with $99 million of non-recourse debt and $26 million of equity. Our obligations to the grantor trust consisted of the payments due under the lease and a $9 million guarantee of the residual value of the equipment. In addition, we had a fixed price purchase option that was exercisable on January 14, 2009, for approximately $35 million; however, we decided not to exercise this option.

            In December 2003, the grantor trust which acts as the lessor in the sale and leaseback transaction described above was consolidated subsidiariesas a result of the adoption of new accounting standards for variable interest entities, due primarily to the existence of the residual value guarantee. As a result of the consolidation, the manufacturing equipment and the trust's obligations under its non-recourse debt arrangement was included in ourConsolidated Balance Sheets as property, plant and equipment and long-term debt, respectively. The equity in the trust held by the financial institution was reported as noncontrolling interest. In addition, ourConsolidated Statements of Income included interest expense on the lessor's debt obligations and depreciation expense on the manufacturing equipment rather than rent expense under the lease agreement. In April 2008, the trust made the final payment on the non-recourse debt.

            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 are no longer required to consolidate the grantor trust and we deconsolidated the trust in the first quarter of 2009. With the deconsolidation, we are now required to account for the leasing arrangement with the trust which qualifies as a capital lease. The deconsolidation of the trust had minimal impact on ourConsolidated 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.

            The future lease payments required under the amended lease are as follows:

    Our annual cash contributions during plan year 2006, 20052009, 2008 and 20042007 along with dividends received on unallocated shares of our common stock held by the ESOP Trust and cash contributions from the Employee Benefit TrustEBT were equal to the required principal and interest payments due under the ESOP notes and amounted to $9 million, $9 million and $8 million, respectively.notes. Dividends received on allocated ESOP shares are used to purchase shares of our common stock from the Employee Benefit Trust. Those shares are then allocated to the participant accounts. As the debt is repaid, shares are released from the ESOP and are allocated to participants in proportion to their contributions to the RSP. Compensation expense is recorded as shares are allocated to plan participants each year and reduced by the common stock dividends received by the ESOP Trust. Unearned compensation is included in shareholders’Cummins Inc. shareholders' equity and represents compensation expense wewhich will recordbe recorded in the future as the remaining shares are allocated to participants. All shares issued to the ESOP Trust are considered outstanding for purposes of computing earnings per share. Dividends on unallocated ESOP shares can be used to service a portion of the principal and interest due on the ESOP notes were $1 million for eachnotes.

    Employee Benefits Trust

    In 1997, we established the Employee Benefits Trust funded with common stock for use in meeting our future obligations under employee benefit and compensation plans. The primary sources of cash for the Employee Benefit Trust are dividends received on unallocated shares of our common stock held by the Employee Benefit Trust. While the Employee Benefits Trust may be used to fund a number of these plans, the principal use, is in funding matching contributions to employee accounts in the RSP made in proportion to employee contributions under terms of the RSP after shares released from the ESOP are exhausted. We allocate shares to employee accounts as our matching contributions are made to the RSP. Contributions charged to earnings were $9 million in 2006, $10 million in 2005 and $9 million in 2004.

    NOTE 17. EARNINGS PER SHARE

    We calculate basic earnings per share (EPS) of common stock by dividing net earnings by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The calculation of diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that occurs if options or securities are exercised or debt is converted into common stock and the effect of the exercise or conversion reduces EPS. We exclude shares of common stock held in the Employee Benefits Trust (see Note 16) from the calculation of the weighted-average common shares outstanding until those shares are distributed from the Employee Benefits Trust to the RSP. Following is a reconciliation of net earnings and weighted-average common shares outstanding for purposes of calculating basic and diluted earnings per share:

    The weighted-average diluted common shares outstanding for 2004 excludes the effect of approximately 0.3 million common stock options since such options have an exercise price in excess of the average market value of our common stock during those years. In 2005 and 2006, the average market value of our common stock was greater than the exercise price of our common stock options and therefore no options were excluded from our calculation of the weighted-average diluted shares outstanding.

    NOTE 18. DERIVATIVES AND OTHER FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

    We are exposed to financial risk resulting from volatility in foreign exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. This risk is closely monitored and managed through the use of financial derivative instruments including commodity forward contracts, currency forward 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 speculation purposes. Our hedging transactions are entered into with banking institutions that have strong credit ratings, and thus the credit risk associated with these contracts is not considered significant. The results and status of our hedging transactions are reported to senior management on a monthly and quarterly basis.

    Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risks

    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 earnings experience 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. These foreign currency forward contracts are designated and qualify as foreign currency cash flow hedges under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (SFAS 133), and are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value in “Other current assets” and “Other accrued expenses.” 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.” When the hedged forecasted transaction (sale or purchase) occurs, the unrealized gain or loss is reclassified into earnings in the same line item associated with the hedged transaction in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. For the year ended December 31, 2006, gains of $7 million were reclassified from “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” to earnings. The amount of gain reclassified for the year ended December 31, 2005, was $6 million. The ineffective portion of the hedge, unrealized gain or loss, if any, is recognized in current earnings during the period of change. As of December 31, 2006, $1 million of unrealized gains, net of tax, were included in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are expected to be reclassified to earnings over the next twelve months. As of December 31, 2005, $4 million of deferred losses, net of tax, were included in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, there were no circumstances that would have resulted in the discontinuance of a cash flow hedge.

    NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

    Our internal policy allows for managing anticipated foreign currency cash flow for up to one year. As of December 31, 2006, approximately 99 percent of the notional amount of the forward contracts shown in the table above was attributable to five currencies, the British Pound (68 percent), the Indian Rupee (20 percent), the Mexican Peso (7 percent), the Euro (2 percent) and the Australian Dollar (2 percent). As of December 31, 2005, approximately 95 percent of the notional amount of the forward contracts shown in the table above was attributable to five currencies, the British Pound (41 percent), the Euro (19 percent), the Australian Dollar (16 percent), the Mexican Peso (13 percent) and the Indian Rupee (6 percent).

    To minimize the earnings volatility resulting from the remeasurement of receivables and payables denominated in foreign currency, we enter into foreign currency forward contracts. The objective is to offset the gain or loss from remeasurement with the fair market valuation of the forward contract. These derivative instruments are not designated as hedges under SFAS 133.

    Interest Rate Swaps

    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. Currently, we have one interest rate swap outstanding.

    In November 2005, we entered into an interest rate swap to effectively convert our $250 million, due in 2028 debt 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 SFAS 133.

    In November 2002, we terminated an interest rate swap relating to our 6.45% notes that matured in 2005. The swap acted as a fair value hedge and converted $225 million notional amount from fixed rate debt into floating rate debt that matured in 2005. The termination of the swap resulted in a $12 million gain. The gain was amortized to earnings as a reduction of interest expense over the remaining life of the debt. The amount of gain recognized during 2005 and 2004 was $1 million and $5 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2005, there was no longer any deferred gain remaining on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

    We have equity method investees, whose financial results are not consolidated, that have entered into floating-to-fixed interest rate swap agreements. The swaps have been designated and qualify as cash flow hedges under SFAS 133. We record our share of the gain or loss on these instruments in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss.” As of December 31, 2006, the gains and losses related to these swaps were not material.

    Commodity Forward Contracts

    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 forward 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 forward contracts are derivative contracts that are designated as cash flow hedges under SFAS 133 and are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value in “Other current assets”, “Other assets”, and “Other accrued expenses.” The effective portion of the unrealized gain or loss is deferred and reported as a component of “Accumulated other comprehensive loss.” When the hedged forecasted transaction (purchase) occurs, the unrealized gain or loss is reclassified into earnings in the


    CUMMINS INC. AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES
    NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

    same line item associated with the hedged transaction in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. For the year ended December 31, 2006, gains of $18 million were reclassified from “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” to earnings. Amounts reclassified from “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” to earnings were not material for the year ended December 31, 2005. The ineffective portion of the hedge, if any, is recognized in current earnings in the period in which the ineffectiveness occurs. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, unrealized gains, net of tax, related to commodity forward contracts were $7 million and $5 million, respectively. During 2007 we expect to reclassify net gains of $8 million from “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” to earnings.

    Our internal policy allows for managing these cash flow hedges for up to three years. For the year ended December 31, 2006, there were no circumstances that would have resulted in the discontinuance of a cash flow hedge.

    Fair Value of Financial Instruments

    Based on borrowing rates currently available to us for bank loans with similar terms and average maturities, the fair value of total debt, including current maturities, at December 31, 2006, was approximately $799 million. The carrying value at that date was $811 million. At December 31, 2005, the fair and carrying values of total debt, including current maturities, were $1,677 million and $1,367 million, respectively. The carrying values of all other receivables and liabilities approximated fair values.

    NOTE 19. STOCK INCENTIVE AND STOCK OPTION PLANS

    In September 2003, our shareholders approved the 2003 Stock Incentive Plan (The Plan)., which replaced and succeeded the 1993 Stock Incentive Plan. The Plan, as amended February 2009, allows for the granting of up to 2.5$13.5 million stock-based awards to executives and employees, of which one-half must be in the form of stock options. Awards available for grant under the plan include, but are not limited to, stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance shares, restricted stock and other stock awards.

            Stock options are generally granted with a strike price equal to the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant, a life of 10 years and a two-year vesting period. Compensation expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the vesting period beginning on the grant date. The compensation expense is based on the fair value of each option grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Options granted to employees eligible for retirement under the Company's retirement plan are fully expensed as of the grant date.

            Stock options are also awarded through the Key Employee Stock Investment Plan (KESIP) which allows certain employees, other than officers, to purchase shares of common stock on an installment basis up to an established credit limit. Fifty stock options are granted for every even block of 100 KESIP shares purchased by the employee. The performanceoptions granted through the KESIP program are considered awards under The Plan and are vested immediately. Compensation expense for stock options granted through the KESIP program is recorded based on the fair value of each option grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

            Performance shares are granted as target awards and are earned based on our return on equity (ROE) performance. A payout factor has been established ranging from zero to 200 percent of the target award based on the actual ROE performance during the two-year period. Any shares earned are then restricted for one additional year. Employees leaving the company prior to the end of the restriction period forfeit their shares. Compensation expense is recorded ratably over the period beginning on the grant date until the shares become unrestricted and is based on the amount of the award that is expected to be earned under the plan formula, adjusted each reporting period based on current information.

    Under the stock incentive plan, restricted        Restricted common stock is awarded from time to time at no cost to certain employees. Participants are entitled to cash dividends and voting rights. Restrictions limit the sale or transfer of the shares during a defined period. Generally, one-third of the shares are released after two years and one-third of the shares issued are released each year thereafter on the anniversary of the grant date, provided the participant remains an employee. Compensation expense is determined at the grant date and is recognized over the four-year restriction period on a straight-line basis.

    Prior to January 1, 2006, we accounted for stock-based employee awards granted on or after January 1, 2003, utilizing the fair value method preferred by SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” For awards granted prior to January 1, 2003, we applied the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 123. In accordance with SFAS No. 123, we applied APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock


    CUMMINS INC. AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES
    NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

    Issued to Employees” and related interpretations in accounting for our plans prior to January 1, 2003 and accordingly, did not recognize compensation expense for these plans because we granted options at exercise prices equal to the market value of our stock on the grant date.

    Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment,” which revised SFAS No. 123 and supercedes APB No. 25. We adopted this statement using the modified prospective transition method which does not require the restatement of prior periods. SFAS No. 123R requires the recognition of expense for share-based payments to be recorded in the consolidated financial statements based on the grant date fair value and to be recognized over their vesting periods. Under SFAS No. 123R, we are required to select a valuation technique or option-pricing model that meets the requirements of the standard. Allowable valuation models include a binomial model and the Black-Scholes model. At the present time, we are continuing to use the Black-Scholes model. Since we had previously accounted for our awards at fair value under SFAS No. 123, the impact of adopting SFAS No. 123R was not material to our Consolidated Financial Statements. The two most significant changes related to accounting for forfeitures and accounting for tax benefits of awards. SFAS No. 123R requires us to estimate forfeitures in calculating the expense relating to share-based compensation as opposed to recognizing these forfeitures and the corresponding reduction in expense as they occur. The cumulative adjustment we recorded upon the adoption of SFAS No. 123R for the estimated forfeitures on grants outstanding on the date of adoption was not material. Excess tax benefits related to share-based compensation are now classified as a financing activity in the statement of cash flows rather than an operating activity. For the year ended December 31, 2006, we had $6 million of excess tax benefits related to share-based compensation presented in our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows as a financing activity.

    Compensation expense (net of estimated forfeitures) related to our share-based plans for the year ended December 31, 2006,2009, 2008 and 2007 was approximately $18 million. Compensation expense (net of actual forfeitures) related to our share-based plans for the years ended December 31, 2005$20 million, $28 million and 2004, was approximately $16$28 million, in each year.respectively. The excess tax deficiency/benefit associated with our share-based plans for the years ended December 31, 2006, 20052009, 2008 and 2004,2007, was $6$(1) million, $7$13 million and $27$11 million, respectively. The total unrecognized compensation expense (net of estimated forfeitures) related to nonvested awards was approximately $32$6 million at December 31, 20062009, and was expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.5 years.less than one year.

    Foreign Exchange Rates

    In July 2006, we amended and extended the lease on our corporate headquarters facility to 2019.        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 flow 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 December 31, 2009, the amount expected to be reclassified to income over the next year is not material. For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, there were no circumstances that would have resulted in the discontinuance of a 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. The currencies in this extension,table represent 93 percent of the notional amounts of contracts outstanding as of December 31, 2009.

    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 commodity 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 December 31, 2009, we expect to reclassify an unrealized net gain of $5 million from AOCL to income over the next year. For the year ended December 31, 2009, we discontinued hedge accounting on certain contracts where the forecasted transactions were requiredno longer probable. The amount reclassified to re-evaluate the classificationincome as a result of this lease. Basedaction was a loss of $4 million. For the year ended December 31, 2008, 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.

    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, due in 2028, from a fixed rate of 7.125% to a floating rate based on thea LIBOR spread. The terms of the extension,swap mirror those of the debt, with interest paid semi-annually. This swap qualifies as a fair value hedge under GAAP.

In July 2007, we amended the agreement to extend the facility until July 2010, and raised the purchase limitation from $200 million to $400 million. The agreement also provides us with an option to increase the purchase limitation up to $500 million upon approval. As

    necessary, CTR may transfer a direct interest in its receivables, without recourse, to the financial institution. To maintain a balance in the designated pools of receivables sold, we sell new receivables to CTR as existing receivables are collected. Receivables sold to CTR in which an interest is financed under capital leases. Duringnot transferred to the third quarterfinancial institution are included in "Receivables, net" on ourConsolidated Balance Sheets. The maximum interest in sold receivables that can be outstanding at any point in time is limited to the lesser of 2006, we extended a lease relating to a portion of our rental business by six years. The lease was set to expire on September 30, 2006. Instead of paying a balloon payment of approximately $42$400 million on September 30, 2006,or the amount has been financed overof eligible receivables held by CTR. There are no provisions in this agreement that require us to maintain a six year term at a fixed rate. In addition to extending this lease, we reduced the interest rate by approximately 2 percentage points. During the fourth quarter of 2006, we refinanced a lease relating to another portion of our rental business. Underminimum investment credit rating; however, the terms of the agreement which is effectivecontain the same financial covenants as of January 1, 2007, the new lease has a six year term with a fixed rate that is approximately 2 percentage points lower than the existing lease. The total amount refinanced was approximately $28 million. These two leases are with two different lessors. Under each lease we are permitted to prepay, subject to certain conditions, the outstanding balance under the lease for the principal amount outstanding plus a prepayment penalty. For each of these leases we have the option to purchase the equipment at the end of the lease term for one dollar. The equipment under these leases is capitalized and amortized over its estimated useful life.our revolving credit facility (see Note 10). As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, we had outstanding capital leases2009, the amount available under this program was $154 million.

    NOTE 22. ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES

            During 2008, we purchased a majority interest in three previously independent North American distributors in order to increase our ownership interests in key portions of the distribution channel. The acquisitions were accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and resulted in an aggregate purchase price of $81 million which we funded with $54 million of borrowings and $27 million of cash. The assets of the acquired businesses were primarily accounts receivable, inventory and fixed assets. There was less than $1 million of goodwill generated from these transactions. During the first three months of 2007, we purchased the remaining interest in a manufacturing joint venture and acquired ownership of an international independent distributor for approximately $20 million. We recorded goodwill of $13 million for these two transactions.

            In July 2008, we entered into a transaction with two Fiat group companies to (1) sell our one-third interest in the European Engine Alliance (EEA) joint venture and simultaneously (2) purchase the remaining 50 percent interest in CDC. As a result, we now own 100 percent of CDC and no longer have an ownership interest in EEA. CDC was previously included in our consolidated results as we were considered the primary beneficiary under GAAP. We sold our remaining interest in EEA for $64 million and $82subsequently purchased the remaining interest in CDC for $61 million, respectively. Future lease payments, including repurchase obligations,however, because the transactions were entered into simultaneously with the same counterparty, it is considered a non-monetary exchange for accounting purposes. Thus, we accounted for the transactions at fair value in accordance with GAAP accounting for exchanges of nonmonetary assets. Because fair value and book value were reasonably close, there was no material gain or loss recorded on the sale of EEA. In addition, there were no significant adjustments from book value for any assets or liabilities of CDC recorded upon the acquisition of the remaining 50 percent interest.

            We consolidate certain VIEs if we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary, defined in FASB standards for consolidation of variable interest entities, as the entity that absorbs a majority of the VIEs' expected losses, receives a majority of the VIEs' expected residual returns, or both. We have variable interests in certain businesses accounted for under each leasethe equity method of accounting that are included indeemed VIEs and are subject to the table above.provisions of GAAP accounting for variable interest entities.

    Sale and Leaseback Transactions

    In        During 2001, we entered into a sale-leaseback agreement whereby we sold and leased backtransaction with a financial institution with regard to certain heavy-duty engine manufacturing equipment fromequipment. The accounting for the original sale-leaseback transaction is discussed in Note 14. The financial institution created a grantor trust wholly-ownedto act as the lessor in the arrangement. The financial institution owns 100 percent of the equity in the trust. The grantor trust has no assets other than the equipment and its rights to the lease agreement with us. On the initial sale, we received $125 million from the financial institution which was financed with $99 million of non-recourse debt and $26 million of equity. Our obligations to the grantor trust consist of the payments due under the lease and a $9 million guarantee of the residual value of the equipment. In addition, we had a fixed price purchase option that was exercisable on January 14, 2009, for approximately $35 million; however, we decided not to exercise this option as discussed in Note 14.

            We had previously determined that the grantor trust is a VIE under GAAP and due primarily to the existence of the residual value guarantee, we determined that we were the primary beneficiary of the VIE. As a result, we began consolidating the grantor trust as of December 31, 2003, even though we do not own any of its equity. In April 2008, we made the final payment on the non-recourse debt. As further discussed in Note 14, we amended our lease agreement in January 2009 to remove the residual value guarantee and as a result, determined that we were no longer the primary beneficiary of the trust.

            Cummins Komatsu Engine Corporation (CKEC) is an engine manufacturing entity jointly owned and operated by us and our equity partner. We were deemed the primary beneficiary of this VIE due to the pricing arrangements of purchases and the substantial volume of purchases we made from the VIE. As of December 31, 2009, CKEC has no unsecured debt. Creditors of this entity have no recourse to our general credit. Conversely, our creditors have no recourse to the assets of CKEC.

Our ownership percentage in these entities ranges from 30 percent to 36 percent.

            The early buyout option can be exercised for approximately $35 million, or 28 percentprincipal business of the equipment’s fair market value at the inception of the lease. If we do not exercise the option, we are obligateddistributors is to purchase insurance that insures the equipment’s residual value. At the end of the lease term, we are obligated to pay the difference, if any, between the equipment’s guaranteed residual valuesell Cummins engines and its fair market value.

    The lease agreement includes certain default provisions requiring us to make timely rent payments, maintain,related service parts as well as provide repair and insure the equipment, procure residualmaintenance services on engines, including warranty repairs. Our maximum potential loss related to these distributors as of December 31, 2009, consisted of our ownership interest totaling $21 million. In addition, under certain circumstances, we could be required to repurchase certain assets of these distributors at amounts approximating fair value insurance and maintain minimum debt ratings for our long-term senior unsecured debt obligations.

    In December 2003, the grantor trust which acts as the lessor in the sale and leaseback transaction described above was consolidated due to the adoption of FIN 46R. A description of the entity consolidated and the impact of adopting FIN 46R are described in Note 2. As a result of the consolidation, the manufacturing equipment and the trust’s obligations under its non-recourse debt arrangement are included in our Consolidated Balance Sheets as property, plant and equipment and long-term debt, respectively. The non-recourse debt arrangement is more fully discussed in Note 11. In addition, our Consolidated Statements of Earnings includes interest expense on the lessor’s debt obligations and depreciation expense on the manufacturing equipment rather than rent expense under the lease agreement. The amount of interest expense14. Our involvement with these distributors as equity holders began in 2006, 2005 and 20042003.

In 2006, 2007 and the first six months of depreciation expense2008, we consolidated this entity under GAAP due to the pricing arrangements on purchases from CDC and the substantial volume of purchases we made. In July 2008, we purchased the remaining 50 percent of CDC as discussed in 2006, 2005Note 22 and 2004 was $17 million, $14 million and $11 million, respectively.we now own 100 percent of the voting interest.

    NOTE 21.25. OPERATING SEGMENTS

    SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,” set standards for reporting information regarding operating segments in financial statements.        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 makingdecision-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. This type of reporting structureserves 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 sellingwhich sells engines, generator sets and alternators and providing rental ofrents power equipment for both standby and prime power uses. 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 minoritynoncontrolling 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.


    CUMMINS INC. AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES
    NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

    The accounting policies of our operating segments are the same as those applied in theConsolidated 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 and losses, prior service costs or credits, minimum pension liabilitiesrestructuring and other charges, investment gains or losses, flood damage gains or losses or income taxes to individual segments. Segment EBIT may not be consistent with measures used by other companies.

    We made certain leadership changes effective May 2, 2005, within our management team. In connection with these changes, certain modifications were made to our internal reporting. These modifications are summarized below:

    ·       The Filtration and Other segment was renamed the Components segment and now includes operating results of the fuel systems business which were previously included in the Engine segment. Historically, the fuel systems business transferred product within the Engine segment at cost. Beginning in the third quarter of 2005, those transfers now use a cost-plus based transfer price. As a result of this change, segment EBIT increased for the Components segment and decreased for the Engine segment but there was no impact to consolidated earnings. Revenues of the Components segment were also increased to reflect transfers to the Engine segment and eliminations were increased by a corresponding amount.

    ·       The North American distribution business was combined with the International Distribution segment and renamed the Distribution segment. Previously, the North American distribution business was reported in the Engine and Power Generation segments as equity from investees and included the results of a partially-owned distributor that is consolidated. As a result, revenues of the Engine segment were increased to reflect sales to the consolidated distributor that were previously eliminated and decreased for the revenues of the consolidated distributor which are now included in the Distribution segment. In addition, this change also caused earnings from equity investees in the Engine and Power Generation segments to decrease while earnings from equity investees in the Distribution segment increased by a corresponding amount.

    For the year ended December 31, 2009, net income includes $99 million in restructuring and other charges and a gain of $12 million related to flood damage recoveries. For the year ended December 31, 2008, net income includes a $37 million restructuring charge, a $36 million decrease in cash surrender value in corporate owned life insurance and $5 million of expenses related to flood damage recoveries.

    (2)
    On January 1, 2009, we adopted changes issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board to consolidation accounting and reporting. These changes, among others, require that minority interests be renamed noncontrolling interests and a company present a consolidated net income measure that includes the amount attributable to such noncontrolling interests for all periods presented.

    (3)
    Earnings per share in each quarter is computed using the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during that quarter while earnings per share for the full year is computed using the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the year. Thus, the sum of the four quarters earnings per share does not equal the full year earnings per share.

    At December 31, 2006,2009, there were approximately 3,5083,850 holders of record of Cummins Inc.’s's $2.50 par value common stock.
