Note 7.  Goodwill:  Effective January 1, 2002, the Company will adopt SFAS No. 142, a new accounting pronouncement on goodwill and other intangible assets.  Under this rule, amortization of goodwill will cease, and the Company will conduct benchmark assessments of existing goodwill for impairment using a fair-value-based approach within six months of adoption.  Goodwill amortization of $3 million and $6 million was recorded in the second quarter and the first half ended June 24, 2001, respectively, in advance of implementing the new accounting rule.  The Company cannot anticipate the conclusions from the benchmark assessment at this time.

Note 8.  Sale and Leaseback:  In the second quarter of 2001, the Company entered into a sale and leaseback transaction for certain heavy-duty engine manufacturing equipment.  Proceeds from the transaction were $119 million, compared to the equipment net book value of $104 million.  The $15 million gain will behas been deferred for the entire lease term due to a residual value guarantee by the Company.

Note 9.8.  Company-Obligated Mandatorily Redeemable Convertible Preferred Securities of Subsidiary Trust Holding Solely Convertible Subordinated Debentures of the Parent:  In June 2001, Cummins Capital Trust I (the "Trust"), a wholly-owned subsidiary trust of the Company, issued 6 million shares of 7% convertible quarterly income preferred securities (the "Preferred Securities"), with a liquidation preference of $50 per share (for a total liquidation value of $300 million).  The Preferred Securities represent an undivided beneficial ownership interest in the assets of the Trust.  The payment of distributions out of assets held by the Trust and payments on liquidation of the Trust or the redemption of the Preferred Securities are guaranteed by the Company to the extent the Trust has assets available therefor.  This guarantee, when taken together with the Company's obligations under the indenture pursuant to which the Debentures (defined below) were iss ued,issued, the Debentures, and the Company's obligations under the Trust Agreement, provides a full, irrevocable and unconditional guarantee of all of the Trust's obligations under the Preferred Securities.

Proceeds from the issuance of the Preferred Securities were invested in 7% Convertible Subordinated Debentures (the "Debentures") due June 15, 2031 issued by the Company.  The Trust exists solely to issue the Preferred Securities and its own common securities and to invest the proceeds therefrom in the Debentures, which is its sole asset.

Each of the Preferred Securities and the related Debentures are convertible at the option of the holder into shares of the Company's common stock at the rate of 1.0519 shares per Preferred Security (equivalent to a conversion price of $47.53 per share of Company common stock).  The Trust will only convert Debentures pursuant to a notice of conversion by a holder of Preferred Securities.

Holders of the Preferred Securities are entitled to receive preferential cumulative cash distributions at an annual rate of 7% accruing from the date of original issue, commencing September 15, 2001, and payable quarterly in arrears thereafter.  The distribution rate and the distribution dates for the Preferred Securities will correspond to the interest rate and interest payment dates on the Debentures.  The Company may defer interest payments on the Debentures for a period not to exceed 20 consecutive quarters.  If the Company defers interest payments on the Debentures, the Trust will defer distributions on the Preferred Securities for a corresponding period.  In this case, distributions on the Preferred Securities will continue to accrue, and the Company will not be permitted to declare or pay any cash distributions with respect to its capital stock or debt securities that rank equally with or junior to the Debentures.

Subject to certain restrictions, the Preferred Securities are redeemable at par value at the Trust's option upon any redemption by the Company of the Debentures after June 15, 2006.  Upon repayment at maturity of the Debentures or as a result of the acceleration of the Debentures upon the occurrence of a default, the Preferred Securities are subject to mandatory redemption.

Note 9.  Recently Issued Accounting Standards:  In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (SFAS 141), "Business Combinations" and SFAS 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS 141 is effective June 30, 2001 and requires the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations. The Company does not believe this statement will have a material effect on its financial statements. SFAS 142 requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives will no longer be subject to amortization but will be subject to annual assessment for impairment. As required, the Company will adopt this new standard January 1, 2002. In 2000, the Company recorded $11 million in goodwill amortization. In the third quarter and the first nine months of 2001, the Company recorded goodwill amortization of $3 million and $8 million, respectively. The Company is currently reviewing the provisions of SFAS 142 and has not yet determined the impact of the new standard on its financial statements.

PAGE 10

SFAS 143 "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations" was also issued in June 2001. This statement requires obligations associated with retirement of long-lived assets to be capitalized as part of the carrying value of the related asset. The Company does not believe this statement will have a material effect on its financial statements. In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS 144 sets forth a single accounting model for the accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets and is effective January 1, 2002 for the Company. The Company is currently reviewing the provisions of SFAS 144 to determine the effect, if any, on the Company's financial statements.

In the first halfnine months of 2001, net cash provided by operating activities was $57 million.  The Company's losses were offset by the non-cash effect of depreciation and amortization.  Increases in accounts receivable and decreases in income taxes payable were partially offset by decreases in inventory and increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses.  The Company is funding the cash requirements for restructuring actions using cash generated from operations, with the majority of the cash requirement expected to occur in 2001.  Net cash used in investing activities included $122$158 million of planned capital expenditures and $19$22 million related to investments and advances in joint ventures and alliances, offset by $140 million inflow from disposals, including $119 million inflow related to a sale/leaseback of manufacturing equipment.  Net cash provided by financing activities in the first halfnine months of 2001 included net proceeds from the issue of mandatorily redeemable preferred securities of $292$291 million used primarily to reduce short-term credit agreements of $247$215 million and for dividend payments of $25$37 million.

It is the Company's opinion that current and forecasted cash flows from operations as well as benefits from previously announced restructuring actions and other financing arrangements will be sufficient to meet current debt service requirements and fund anticipated capital expenditures
