CUMMINS INC.
INTRODUCTORY NOTE

            Cummins Inc. is filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q to reflect the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for the quarter ended March 30, 2003,  and the unaudited restatement of its Consolidated Financial Statements for the period ended March 31, 2002.  As a result of the restatement, which is described in Note 2, "Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements", in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements, Cummins delayed filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 30, 2003.  On April 17, 2003, we furnished a Current Report on Form 8‑K that included our press release announcing the restatement and reaudit of our Consolidated Financial Statements for 2001 and 2000 and discussing results for the quarter ended March 30, 2003.

            The unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this quarterly report for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 supersede the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements contained in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that was previously filed on May 15, 2002 (Original Filing).  The unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and financial information contained in the Original Filing have been revised herein to reflect the restatement adjustments described in Note 2 of our Consolidated Financial Statements.  We do not intend to amend our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods affected by the restatement that ended prior to December 31, 2002.  As a result, the financial statements and related information contained in such reports referenced above should no longer be relied upon.

            In connection with the preparation of our 2003 Consolidated Financial Statements, we became aware of certain isolated matters that were treated incorrectly in the restatement of our pre-2002 Consolidated Financial Statements.  The cumulative effect of these matters resulted in a $2.7 million understatement of retained earnings at December 31, 2002.  The amount of the understatement was not material to our pre 2003 financial statements nor to our expected full year 2003 financial statements.  As a result, our Consolidated Statement of Earnings for the first quarter of 2003 includes $3.6 million pre-tax income ($2.7 million after tax and $0.07 per share) to correct this matter.  The corrections are classified in the Statement of Earnings based upon the classification of the original transactions. Approximately $2.0 million of the correction is recorded in Cost of goods sold, $.2 million in Selling and administrative expenses and $1.4 million in Other (income) expense, net.  Our Consolidated Statement of Earnings for the first quarter of 2003 differs by these amounts from the Consolidated Statement of Earnings included in our From 8-K furnished April 17, 2003.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

Note 1.  Summary of Accounting Policies:Policies

Basis of Presentation:Presentation

We have prepared ourConsolidated Financial Statementsfor the interim periods ended September 29,March 30, 2003 and March 31, 2002 and September 23, 2001 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.  Each of the interim periods contains 13 weeks.  Our interim period financial statements are unaudited and include estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts based upon currently available information and management's judgment of current conditions and circumstances. We recommend that you read our interim financial statements in conjunction with theConsolidated Financial Statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.2002.  Our interim period financial results for the three and nine monththree-month periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire year.

We believe our Consolidated Financial Statements include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary to present fairly our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented.  Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have certified that this quarterly report fairly presents, in all material respects, the financial condition and results of operations of Cummins Inc. as of, and for the period ended, September 29, 2002.March 30, 2003. These certifications are included as Exhibits 99.131(a) and 99.231(b) to this Form 10-Q.  Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have also provided certifications as to the effectiveness of our controls and procedures which are included in the exhibits previously referenced.

We have reclassified certain amounts in prior period financial statements to conform to the presentation of the current period financial statements.

Prior Period Adjustment

PrinciplesIn connection with the preparation of Consolidation:

Ourour 2003 Consolidated Financial Statements, include we became aware of certain isolated matters that were treated incorrectly in the accountsrestatement of all majority-owned subsidiaries where our ownership is more than 50 percent but less than 100 percent of common stock.  All significant intercompany balances and transactions with majority-owned subsidiaries are eliminated in ourpre-2002 Consolidated FinancialStatements.  Where our ownership interest is less than 100 percent, the minority ownership interest  The cumulative effect of these entities is reportedmatters resulted in a $2.7 million understatement of retained earnings at December 31, 2002.  The amount of the understatement was not material to our historical financial statements nor to our expected full year 2003 results.  As a result, our Consolidated Statement of Financial Positionas a liability.  Earnings for the first quarter of 2003 includes $3.6 million pre-tax income, ($2.7 million after tax and $0.07 per share) to correct this matter.  The minority ownership portion of earnings or loss, net of tax, of these entities iscorrections are classified as "Minority interest" in ourConsolidatedthe Statement of Earnings.

Investments in Unconsolidated Entities:

We useEarnings based upon the equity method to account for our investments in joint ventures, affiliated companies and alliances in which we haveclassification of the ability to exercise significant influence, generally represented by common stock ownership or partnership equityoriginal transactions. Approximately $2.0 million of at least 20 percent and not more than 50 percent.  Generally, under the equity method, original investments in these entities are recorded at cost and are subsequently adjusted by our share of equity in earnings or losses after the date of acquisition.  Equity in earnings or losses of each joint venture, affiliate and alliancecorrection is recorded according to our levelin Cost 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.  Our share of the results from joint venture, affiliated companiesgoods sold, $.2 million in Selling and alliances is reportedadministrative expenses and $1.4 million in ourConsolidated S tatement of Earnings as "Joint ventures and alliances income."  Significant transactions with unconsolidated entities are eliminated in ourConsolidated Financial Statements.  Our investments are classified as "Investments in and advances to joint ventures and alliances" in ourConsolidated Statement of Financial Position.other (income) expense, net.

Page 6

Revenue Recognition:

We recognize revenues on the sale of our products, net of estimated costs of returns, allowances and sales incentives, when our products are shipped to customers and title and risk of ownership transfers.  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.  Engines, service parts, service tools and other items sold to independent distributors and to partially owned distributors accounted for under the equity method 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 and most international locations occurs generally when the products are shipped.  To the extent of our ownership percentage, margins on sales to distributors accounted for under th e equity method are deferred until the distributor sells the product to unrelated parties.  We record a provision for estimated sales returns from distributors at the time of sale based on historical experience of product returns and established maximum allowances for returned product.

Shipping and Handling Costs: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"Selling and administrative expensesexpenses" in ourConsolidated StatementStatements of EarningsInFor the third quarterthree months ended March 30, 2003 and the first nine months ofMarch 31, 2002 respectively, these costs were approximately $19 million and $20 million, and $62 million.  In the third quarter and the first nine months of 2001, these costs were approximately $21 million and $65 million, respectively.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Special Purpose Entities

We use a special purpose entity (SPE), Cummins Receivable Corporation, in connection with the sale of our trade accounts receivable.  Cummins Receivable Corporation is a wholly-owned, bankruptcy-remote special purpose subsidiary that transfers an interest in our receivables, without recourse, to limited purpose receivable securitization entities (conduits) that are established and managed by an independent financial institution.  Following the transfer of the sold receivables to the conduits, receivables are no longer assets of Cummins and the sold receivables no longer appear on our balance sheet.  The use of this financing arrangement enables us to access highly liquid and efficient markets to finance our working capital needs when receivables are sold and packaged in this type of structure.  As of September 29, 2002, there were no proceeds outstanding under the securitization program.

In June 2001, we issued 6 million shares of convertible quarterly income preferred securities through Cummins Capital Trust I, a Delaware special purpose trust and wholly-owned subsidiary of Cummins.  The proceeds from the issuance of the preferred securities of $291 million were invested by the Trust in convertible subordinated debentures issued by Cummins.  The sole assets of the Trust are the debentures.

None of our officers, directors or employees of Cummins or its affiliates hold any direct or indirect equity interests in either Cummins Receivable Corporation or Cummins Capital Trust other than through holdings of Cummins common stock.

In 2001, we entered into a lease agreement in which we sold and leased back certain heavy-duty engine manufacturing equipment with a nationally prominent, creditworthy lessor who had an established SPE to facilitate the financing of the equipment for Cummins.  The use of the SPE allows the parties providing the lease financing to isolate particular assets in a single entity and thereby syndicate the financing to multiple third parties.  This is a conventional financing technique used to lower the cost of borrowing and thus, the lease cost to Cummins.  There is a well-established market in which financial institutions participate in the financing of such property through their purchase of interests in such SPE's.  The SPE established to facilitate the equipment lease to Cummins is owned by an institution, which is independent and not affiliated with Cummins.  The financial institution maintains a substantial equity investment in the SPE.

Income Tax Accounting:Accounting

Our provision for income taxes is determined 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.  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 to the extent there is uncertainty as to their ultimate realization.  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.  During interim reporting periods our income tax provision is based upon the estimated annual effective t axtax rate of those taxable jurisdictions where we conduct business.  For the three monththree-month periods ended March 30, 2003 and nine month periods ending September 29,March 31, 2002 and September 23, 2001 our effective tax rate was 25 percent on earnings (loss) before income taxes after deducting dividends on our preferred securities and 33 percent for restructuring and other non-recurring charges.securities. 

Inventories: 7



Inventories

Our inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. At December 31, 2001, approximately 222002, 26 percent of our domestic 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 reporting dates include estimates for adjustments related to annual physical inventory results and for inventory cost changes under the LIFO cost method.  Inventories at March 30, 2003, and December 31, 2002, were as follows:

Product Coverage

            We charge the estimated costs of product coverage programs, other than product recalls, to earnings at the time products are shipped to customers. We use historical experience of product coverage programs to estimate the remaining liability for our various product coverage programs. As a result of the uncertainty surrounding the nature and frequency of product recall programs, the liability for such programs is recorded when the recall action is announced. We review and assess the liability for these programs on a quarterly basis.

            Below is a summary of the activity in our product coverage liability account for the three months ended March 30, 2003, including adjustments to pre-existing warranties during the period:

Product Liability

            From time to time, we issue indemnifications to our customers and joint venture partners which indicate that we will indemnify them against any loss suffered as a result of a defective product we have sold them. In addition, periodically, we enter into license agreements or joint venture agreements where we license a patent, trademark or other similar intangible asset and agree to indemnify the licensee against any losses suffered should the patent, trademark or intangible asset infringe upon a third party asset. We provide reserves for these exposures when it is probable that we have suffered a loss, the loss is reasonably estimable and the loss exceeds any insurance coverage we may have.

Earnings Per Share:

Share

We calculate basic earnings per share (EPS) of common stock by dividing net earnings (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that occurs if options or securities are exercised or converted into common stock and the effect of the exercise or conversion reduces EPS.  We exclude shares of common stock held by the Company's Retirement Savings Plan in the Employee Benefits Trust from weighted average shares outstanding for the EPS calculation until those shares are distributed from the Trust.  Following is a reconciliation of net earnings (loss) and weighted average common shares outstanding for purposes of calculating basic and diluted net earnings per share:

Employee Stock Plans

On January 1, 2003, we adopted the respective periods.accounting provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation" (SFAS 123) for stock based employee awards.  We had previously been accounting for these awards under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, as allowed by SFAS 123.  SFAS 123 requires stock based employee awards to be accounted for at fair value on the date of grant.  As allowed under SFAS 123, as amended by SFAS 148, we are adopting the accounting provisions only for new awards issued on or after January 1, 2003.  We did not issue any stock based employee awards during the three-month period ended March 30, 2003.  Consistent with the provisions of SFAS 123, the following table summarizes the pro forma net earnings and earnings per share amounts as if we had accounted for all previously awarded stock options using the fair market value approach:

 Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations" (SFAS 143).  SFAS 143 requires obligations associated with retirement of long-lived assets to be capitalized as part of the carrying value of the related asset.  We adopted this statement on January 1, 2003.  The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on our financial statements.

In June 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities" (SFAS 146).  This standard nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 88-10 "Costs Associated with Lease Modification or Termination" and EITF Issue No. 94-3 "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (Including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)."  SFAS 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized and measured at its fair value when the liability is incurred.  We adopted the provisions of SFAS 146 for exit or disposal activities, such as restructuring, involuntarily terminating employees, and costs associated with consolidating facilities, for actions begun after December 31, 2002, as required. 

10



In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45 (FIN 45), "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others."  FIN 45 elaborates on the disclosures to be made by a guarantor about its obligations under certain guarantees that it has issued.  In addition, this interpretation requires a guarantor to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee.  The disclosure provisions of FIN 45 are effective for annual or interim financial statements for periods ending after December 15, 2002.  The recognition provisions of FIN 45 are applicable only on a prospective basis for guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002.  The impact of adopting this statement did not have a significant impact on our financial position or results of operations for the three-month period ended March 30, 2003.  See Note 9 for a discussion of our guarantees existing at March 30, 2003.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Effective

            In November 2002, the EITF issued EITF Issue 00-21, "Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables." This issue provides guidance as to how to determine when an arrangement involving multiple deliverables contains more than one unit of accounting and when more than one unit of accounting exists, how the arrangement consideration should be allocated to the multiple units. The application of this issue could affect the timing of the recognition of revenue for multiple deliverable arrangements. The guidance in this issue is prospective for revenue arrangements entered into after June 30, 2003. We are in the process of analyzing the impact this EITF will have, if any, on our revenue recognition in the future.

            In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities", an Interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 "Consolidated Financial Statements" (FIN 46). FIN 46 provides guidance related to identifying variable interest entities (VIEs), including entities more commonly referred to as special purpose entities or SPEs, and in determining whether such entities should be consolidated by the entities' primary beneficiary, defined in FIN 46 as the entity that holds the majority of the variable interests in the VIE. In addition, FIN 46 requires disclosure for both consolidated and non-consolidated VIEs. Certain disclosure provisions of FIN 46 are effective for financial statements issued after January 31, 2003, and the consolidation requirements applicable to Cummins are effective for all periods beginning after June 15, 2003. Currently we participate in four VIEs, two of which are already consolidated. We are assessing the impact of this interpretation on the other two VIEs, one that is a party to our sale-leaseback transaction entered into in 2001 and a receivable securitization conduit to which our consolidated VIE sells receivables. Although we are still assessing the impact, we currently do not believe we are considered the primary beneficiary of either VIE and therefore would not be required to consolidate these entities. Our maximum potential loss related to the sale-leaseback SPE is limited to the amount of our residual value guarantee ($9 million at March 30, 2003). At March 30, 2003, our maximum potential loss related to the receivable securitization conduit was zero as there were no receivables outstanding under the facility.

            In May 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 150 "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity" (SFAS 150). SFAS 150 establishes standards for how companies classify and measure certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. SFAS 150 requires financial instruments meeting certain criteria to be reported as liabilities that were previously reflected as equity or in between liabilities and equity. We are required to adopt SFAS 150 for our existing financial instruments on July 1, 2003. The adoption of this statement will result in the classification of our obligations associated with the Convertible Preferred Securities of Subsidiary Trust as a liability and will result in the classification of future payments related to these obligations as interest expense in our Consolidated Statements of Earnings. The adoption of this statement will have no impact on net earnings.

Note 2.  Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements

            On April 14, 2003, we announced that we had determined that our previously issued financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 2001 would require restatement and reaudit. The restatement was necessary to correct prior period accounting errors related primarily to unreconciled accounts payable accounts at two of our manufacturing locations, the majority of which were associated with the integration of a new enterprise resource planning system into our accounting processes. We were required to have these restated financial statements audited by our current auditors, since Arthur Andersen LLP, our predecessor auditor for the years subject to restatement, had ceased operations.

            The restatement and reaudit of our financial statements included a comprehensive review of the accounting records underlying our financial statements for the related periods. The work performed during this review also resulted in a restatement of the quarterly information previously reported for the quarter ended March 31, 2002.  The accompanying financial statements reflect adjustments made to our previously reported information for the quarter ended March 31, 2002, as a result of this comprehensive review and the work performed during the restatement and reaudit process in order to correct accounting errors primarily associated with the period of accounting recognition. We have segregated these adjustments into the following categories:

            1.         Adjustments stemming from the unreconciled accounts at our manufacturing locations referred to above. These items did not have a material effect on the results for the quarter ended March 31, 2002.

            2.         Adjustments related to the correction of accounting errors previously recorded in the period management identified the error. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and Staff Accounting Bulletin 99 permit these types of adjustments to be recorded in the period errors are identified to the extent they are not deemed material for purposes of restating prior period financial statements. The most significant items in this category are related to the reconciliation of certain intercompany accounts and other clearing or suspense accounts associated with receivables, accounts payable and accrued payroll. As a result of the restatement, management has now reflected these items in the periods to which they relate.

            3.         Other adjustments to correct errors were identified during the restatement process and have been categorized and summarized as follows:

                        a.         Revisions to various accounts (primarily reserve and accrual accounts) that relate to significant estimates, uncertainties and judgments where the original amount was either calculated incorrectly or documentation directly supporting the original amount could not be located. The most significant item in this category relates to adjustments for obligations associated with marketing programs.

                        b.         Adjustments to certain accounts to achieve proper and consistent application of GAAP throughout our organization. For example, this category includes adjustments for liabilities or reserves not recorded by certain of our locations that are required by US GAAP. The most significant item in this category relates to the omission of an accrual for long-term variable incentive compensation in 2001 that had previously been recorded in 2002. This category also includes adjustments related to the calculation of expense for certain non-US subsidiary defined benefit pension plans in accordance with US GAAP.

            The following tables show the effect of the restatement adjustments on our financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2002, as previously reported in our Form 10-Q for that quarter:

Note 3.  Related Party Transactions:Transactions

Joint ventures and partnerships

We purchase significant quantities of mid rangemid-range diesel and natural gas engines, components and service parts from Consolidated Diesel Company (CDC), an unconsolidated general partnership.  The partnership 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; 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..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, depreciation expense and payment of principal on any of CDC's indebtedness.  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.

13



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 Cummins may elect to fund the requirement although 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 equall yequally 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 and recorded as Cost"Cost of salesgood sold" in ourConsolidated StatementStatements of Earnings.  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 results for CDC.  We account for our investment in CDC under the equity method of accounting (see Note 1).accounting.  Our investment in CDC is classified as "Investments in and advances to joint ventures and alliances" in ourConsolidated StatementStatements of Financial Position.

Distributors

We have an extensive worldwide distributor and dealer network through which we sell and distribute our products and services. Generally, our distributors are divided by geographic region. Some of our distributors are wholly-ownedwholly‑owned by Cummins, some partially-ownedpartially‑owned and the majority are independently-owned.independently owned. We consolidate all wholly-ownedwholly‑owned distributors and account for partially-ownedpartially‑owned distributors using the equity method of accounting (see Note 1).accounting.

We guarantee the revolving loans, term loans and leases in excess of a specified borrowing base for a group of our independently owned and operated North American distributors under an operating agreement with a lender.  As of September 29, 2002 and September 23, 2001, we had guaranteed $53 million and $59 million of financing arrangements, respectively, for our distributors under the agreement.  All distributors that are partially-owned and those who participate in the guaranteed loan program are considered to be related parties in ourConsolidated Financial statements..

In addition, we are contractually obligated to repurchase new engines, parts and components and signage from our North American distributors following an ownership transfer or termination of the distributor. Outside of North America, repurchase obligations and practices vary by region.

Note 3.  Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets - Recently Adopted Accounting Standard:

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 (SFAS 142), "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" concurrent with SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations".  SFAS 142 addresses financial accounting and reporting for goodwill and intangible assets.  Under SFAS 142, goodwill and certain other intangible assets having indefinite useful lives are no longer amortized but are reallocated to applicable reporting units for purposes of performing annual impairment tests using a fair-value-based analysis.

As required by SFAS 142,addition, we applied this new accounting standard on January 1, 2002 to our previously recognized goodwill and intangible assets.  At December 31, 2001, our net goodwillprovide guarantees related to consolidated entities was approximately $343 million.  For purposescertain obligations of impairment testing,some distributors as more fully discussed in Note 9. We continually monitor the financial condition of these independent distributors. We recognize revenue on sales to these distributors when we assigned $332 million of goodwill to a component within the Filtration and Other reporting segment, $6 million to a component within the Engine Business reporting segment and $5 million to the International Distributor reporting segment.  During the first quarter 2002, we completed the first step of the transitional goodwill impairment test which required us to compare the fair value of our reporting units to the carrying value of the net assets of our reporting units as of January 1, 2002.  For each of our reporting units, the estimated fair value was determined utilizing the expected present value of the future cash flows of the units.  Based on this ana lysis, wehave concluded that the fair value of each of our reporting units exceeded their carrying, or book value, including goodwill,performance under these guarantees is unlikely.

We have elected to perform the annual impairment test of our recorded goodwill as required by SFAS 142 as of the end of our fiscal third quarter.  The results of this annual impairment test are not yet finalized but preliminary indications are that the fair value of each of our reporting units as of September 29, 2002 exceeded their carrying, or book value, including goodwill, and therefore our recorded goodwill was not subject to impairment.

As required by SFAS 142, ourConsolidated Statement of Earnings for periods prior to its adoption have not been restated.  However, the effect on our net earnings and earnings per share of excluding goodwill amortization is shownthose who participate in the table below:

Note 4.  Restructuring, Asset Impairment and Other Charges:

We have continued a restructuring program initiated in 1998 to improve the Company's cost structure.  The charges related to this program include staffing reorganizations and reductions in various business segments, asset impairment write-downs for manufacturing equipment, facility closure and consolidation costs, dissolution costs and restructuring actions related to joint venture operations, cancellation of a new engine development program and exit costs related to several small business operations.  As of December 31, 2001 all activities associated with the 1998 and 1999 restructuring actions were complete.  The 2000 and 2001 actions were a result of the downturn in the North American heavy-duty truck market and several other end-markets and were taken in order to achieve lower production costs and improve operating efficiencies under difficult economic conditions.

A detailed discussion of the restructuring charges incurred during 2000, 2001 and 2002 accompanied by schedules that present, by major cost component and by year of provision, activity related to the restructuring charges, including adjustments to the original charges follow:

During the fourth quarter of 2000, we announced restructuring plans in response to the downturn in the North American heavy-duty truck market where our shipments had declined 35 percent from 1999 and recorded a restructuring charge of $160 million.  Of this amount, $131 million was associated with our Engine Business, $19 million with our Power Generation Business and $10 million with our Filtration and Other Business.  The charges included workforce reduction costs of $42 million, $102 million for asset impairments (including $30 million for software developed for internal use) and $16 million associated with exit costs to close or consolidate a number of small business operations.

The workforce reduction actions included overall reductions in staffing levels and the impact of divesting a small business operation.  The charges included severance and benefit costs of terminating approximately 600 salaried and 830 hourly employees and were based on amounts pursuant to established benefit programs or statutory requirements of the affected operations.  In the fourth quarter 2001, we realigned our workforce reduction plans and reallocated $3 million of excess liabilities for termination benefits to workforce reduction actions committed to during that quarter.  All employees affected by this workforce reduction plan were separated or terminated by June 30, 2002 and we expect to pay remaining severance costs and related benefits before the end of 2002. Approximately 660 salaried and 725 hourly employees were affected by the workforce reduction actions associated with this plan.

Page 12

The asset impairment charge of $102 million was calculated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 121.  Approximately $30 million of the charge consisted of capitalized software-in-process related to manufacturing, financial and administrative information technology programs that were cancelled during program development and prior to implementation.  The remaining $72 million included $38 million for engine assembly and fuel system manufacturing equipment to be disposed of upon closure or consolidation of production operations.  The equipment was expected to continue in use and be depreciated for approximately two years from the date of the charge until closure or consolidation.  The expected recovery value of the equipment was based on estimated salvage value and was excluded from the impairment charge.  The charge also included $11 million for equipment available for disposal, $6 million for properties available for disposal, $10 m illion for investments, and $7 million for intangibles and minority interest positions related to divesting smaller operations and investments.  The carrying value of assets held for disposal and the effect of suspending depreciation on such assets is not significant.

In the second quarter 2002, we cancelled plans to close a filtration manufacturing plant, transferred impaired power generation equipment that was previously slated for disposal to a foreign operation and realigned our workforce reduction plan.  These actions resulted in a reversal of $12 million in excess charges related to this plan. As of September 29, 2002, $8 million of restructuring charges remained in accrued liabilities for this plan. We expect to complete this restructuring action by the end of 2002.

In the second quarter of 2001, as a result of the continuing downturn in the North American heavy-duty truck market and several other end-markets, we announced further restructuring actions and recorded restructuring charges of $125 million.  The charges included $14 million attributable to workforce reduction actions, $110 million for asset impairment and $1 million attributed to the divestiture of a small business operation.  Of this charge, $118 million was associated with the Engine Business, $5 million with the Power Generation Business and $2 million with the Filtration and Other Business.

The workforce reduction actions included overall reductions in staffing levels and the impact of divesting a small business operation.  The charges included severance and benefit costs of terminating approximately 400 salaried and 150 hourly employees and were based on amounts pursuant to established benefit programs or statutory requirements of the affected operations.  All employees affected by this workforce reduction plan and the subsequent fourth quarter 2001 realignment plan will be terminated by the end of the fourth quarter 2002 and remaining severance costs and related benefits will be paid through the end of the first quarter 2003.

The asset impairment charge was for equipment, tooling and related investment supporting a new engine development program that was cancelled during the second quarter of 2001.  The charges included the investment in manufacturing equipment previously capitalized and cancellation charges for capital and tooling purchase commitments.  The charge was reduced by the estimated salvage value related to the planned equipment disposals.  In the second quarter 2002, we recovered $8 million of salvage proceeds on planned equipment disposals, of which $5 million was in excess of previously estimated recoveries and was reversed against the original restructuring charge.

Page 13

As of September 29, 2002 approximately 400 salaried and 180 hourly employees have been separated or terminated under the workforce reduction actions of this plan and $4 million of restructuring charges related to unpaid severance costs and termination benefits remained in accrued liabilities. We expect to complete all activities associated with this restructuring plan in the fourth quarter 2002.

In the second quarter 2002, we took further restructuring actions precipitated by continued weak market conditions across most of our businesses and recorded a restructuring charge of $16 million.  The charge was more than offset by a $12 million reversal of excess 2000 restructuring reserves and a $5 million reversal of excess 2001 restructuring reserves.  The charge included $11 million attributable to workforce reduction actions, $3 million for asset impairment and $2 million related to facility closures and consolidations.  Of this charge, $5 million was associated with the Engine Business, $4 million with Power Generation, $3 million with Filtration and Other and $4 million with the International Distributor Business.

The charges included severance cost and benefit costs of terminating approximately 220 salaried and 350 hourly employees and were based on amounts pursuant to established benefit programs or statutory requirements of the affected operations.  These actions reflect overall reductions in staffing levels due to closing operations and moving production to locations with available capacity.  As of September 29, 2002 approximately 180 salaried and 300 hourly employees had been separated or terminated under this plan.  We expect to complete all workforce reduction actions associated with this action by the end of the first quarter 2003.  The asset impairment charge related to equipment that was made available for disposal.  The carrying value of the equipment and the effect of suspending depreciation on the equipment were not significant.  As of September 29, 2002, $5 million of restructuring charges remained in accrued liabilities.  ; We expect to complete this restructuring action in the first quarter 2003 and related cash payments to be disbursed by the end of second quarter 2003.

Note 6.5.  Derivatives and otherOther Financial Instruments: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.  As stated in our policies and procedures, financial derivatives are used expressly for hedging purposes, and under no circumstances are they used for speculation or trading. Our derivative transactions are entered into only with banking institutions that have strong credit ratings, and thus the credit risk associated with these contracts is not considered significant. The status and results of our hedging program activities are reported to senior management on a periodic basis. The following table summarizes our outstanding derivatives by risk category and instrument type:

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risks

Due to our international business presence, we are exposed to foreign currency exchange risks. We transact business extensively 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 inter-company and third party sales and purchases denominated in non-functional currencies.  In April 2002, we began hedging our foreign currency exposure to variability in the functional currency equivalent cash flows associated with forecasted transactions. These forward contracts are designated and qualify as foreign currency cash flow hedges under SFAS No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" and are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheet Statements of Financial Position at fair value in Other Current Assets"Other current assets" and Oth er Accrued Liabilities.other liabilities.  The effective portion of the unrealized gain or loss on the forward contract is deferred and reported as a component of "Accumulated other comprehensive income".  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 thirdfirst quarter ended September 29, 2002, $2March 30, 2003, $3 million of gain was reclassified from Accumulated"Accumulated other comprehensive incomeincome" to earnings.  The ineffective portion of the hedge, unrealized gain or loss, if any, is recognized in "Other (income) expense"expense, net" in current earnings during the period of change.  As of September 29, 2002, $5March 30, 2003, $2 million of deferred gainslosses were included in equity ("Accumulated"Accumulated other comprehensive income" in theConsolidated StatementStatements of Financial Position) and are expected to be reclassified t oto earnings over the next twelve months.  For ninethe three months ended September 29, 2002,March 30, 2003, there were no circumstances that would have resulted in the discontinuance of a cash flow hedge.

Page 15

Our internal hedging policy allows for managing anticipated foreign currency cash flow for up to one year. As of September 29, 2002,At March 30, 2003, approximately 9396 percent of the notional amount of the forward contracts shown in the table above were attributable to fourfive currencies, the British Pound (55(46 percent), the Australian Dollar (20(21 percent), the Euro (13(11 percent), the Mexican Peso (12 percent), and the Japanese Yen (5(6 percent). As of September 23, 2001,March 31, 2002, approximately 9088 percent of the contracts were attributable to the samethree currencies, the British Pound (55(35 percent), the AustraliaAustralian Dollar (14 percent), the Euro (18(34 percent) and the Japanese Yen (3Euro (19 percent).

To minimize the earnings volatility resulting from the remeasurement of receivables and payables 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 Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting Standards for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities".  Gain or loss on the derivative instrument and remeasurement of the receivable and payable is reported as "Other (income) expense"expense, net" in Note 5 to ourConsolidated StatementStatements of Earnings.Earnings Such net transaction gains wereand included a lossof  $3 million and $3$1 million for the thirdfirst quarters ended September 29,March 30, 2003 and March 31, 2002, and September 23, 2001, respectively, and a $3 million loss and $1 million gain for the nine months ended September 29, 2002 an d September 23, 2001, respectively.

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 and reduce financing costs.risk. Currently, we have oneno interest rate swap relating to our 6.45% Notes that mature in 2005.  The swap converts $225 million notional amount from fixed rate debt into floating rate debt and matures in 2005.  The interest rate swap is designated as a fair value hedge of our fixed rate debt.  As the critical terms of the swap and the debt are the same, the swap is assumed to be 100 percent effective and the fair value gains/losses on the swap are completely offset by the fair value adjustment to the underlying debt.swaps outstanding.

In March 2001, the Company terminated three fixed-to-floating interest rate swap agreements related to Cummins 6.25% Notes with principal amount of $125 million due in 2003 and 6.45% Notes with principal amount of $225 million due in 2005.  The termination of these swaps resulted in a $9 million gain. The gain is being amortized to earnings as a reduction of interest expense over the remaining life of the debt. The amount of gain recognized in the thirdfirst quarter of 2003 and 2002 was $.6 million and 2001 was $.7 million, respectively.  The remaining balance of the deferred gain is classified with "Long-term debt" in our Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.

            In November 2002, we terminated an interest rate swap relating to our 6.45% Notes that mature in 2005. The swap acted as a fair value hedge and converted $225 million notional amount from fixed rate debt into floating rate debt and would have matured in 2005. The termination of the swap resulted in a $12.3 million gain. The gain is being amortized to earnings as a reduction of interest expense over the remaining life of the debt. The amount of gain recognized during the first quarter of 2003 was $1.3 million. The remaining balance of the deferred gain is classified with "Long-term debt" in our Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.

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 income." As of March 30, 2003, the gains recognized for the first nine months of 2002 and 2001losses related to these swaps were $2.2 million and $1.7 million, respectively.not material.

Commodity Price Swaps

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 enter into fixed price swaps 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 fixed price swaps are derivative contracts and are designated as cash flow hedges under SFAS No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" and are recorded in theConsolidated StatementStatements of Financial Position at fair value in Other Current Assets"Other current assets" and Other Accrued Liabilities.other liabilities.  The effective portion of the unrealized gain or loss is deferred and reported as a component of "Accumulated other comprehensive income".  When the hedged forecasted transaction (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. As of September 29, 2002,March 30, 2003, unrealized gains and losses related to commodity swaps were not material.  The ineffective portion of the hedge is recognized in "Other (income) expense"expense, net" in current earnings in the period in which the ineffectiveness occurs.

Page 16

Our internal policy allows for managing commodity cash flow hedges for up to three years. For the ninethree months ended September 29, 2002,March 30, 2003, there were no circumstances that would have resulted in the discontinuance of a cash flow hedge.

Note 7.6.  Borrowing Arrangements:Arrangements

We havehad $125 million of 6.25% Notes maturingthat matured on March 1, 2003.  These notes were repaid during the first quarter of 2003.  There was no gain or loss recorded upon repayment of these notes.

The notes are classified as current maturities ofincrease in our long-term debt in ourConsolidated Statement of Financial Position based upon their maturity date.  In addition, we have a five-year revolving credit agreement with a group of banks that provides forfrom December 31, 2002, is primarily related to borrowings up to $500 million that expires in January 2003.  As of September 29, 2002, outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit agreement were $40 million and are classified in ourConsolidated Statement of Financial Position as loans payable based upon our intent to repay the borrowings prior to the expiration date of the agreement.  We are currently renegotiating the terms of our revolving credit agreement with our lenders and expectfacility.  The amount outstanding at March 30, 2003 was $70 million compared to enter into a new agreement in the fourth quarter of$0 at December 31, 2002.

Our debt and credit agreements contain several financial covenants, therestrictive covenants. The most restrictive of these covenants relatesapplies to the $250 million 9.5% Senior Notes and our guarantee of notes issued bynew credit facility which may, among other things, limit our Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) trust.  Under the provisions of the guarantee,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 requiredsubject to maintain a debt to capital ratio of 55 percent andvarious financial covenants including a minimum net worth, as defined in the agreement, of $1.159 billion as of September 29, 2002.  Our net worth, as of September 29, 2002, as defined by the ESOP loan covenant, was $1.209 billion.  The agreement also limits our subsidiary borrowingsa minimum debt-to-equity ratio and sale-lease back transactions, as defined in the agreement, to $200 million or less.a minimum interest coverage ratio. As of September 29, 2002, our subsidiary borrowings and sale-leaseback indebtedness was $170 million.  We areMarch 30, 2003, we were in compliance with all of the covenants and restrictions under all of our borrowing agreements except as noted below.

            As a result of September 29, 2002.the restatement and reaudit, we delayed the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002, and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 30, 2003, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). As previously disclosed, the delay in filing resulted in a breach of a requirement for timely satisfaction of SEC filing obligations under several of our credit agreements, the most significant of which are discussed below. A majority of our long-term debt is governed by three Indenture agreements summarized as follows:

            Under each of the Indentures, we are required to deliver to the respective Trustees a copy of our Annual Report on Form 10-K within specified periods of time after such filings are due (March 31, 2003). The breach caused by the delay in filing our 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K gave certain rights to the Trustees and debt holders under the Indentures to accelerate maturity of our indebtedness if they give us notice and we do not cure the breach within 60 days. However, neither the Trustees nor the respective debt holders gave us such notice. By filing our 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the first quarter ended March 30, 2003, with the SEC and by delivering a copy of these filings to the Trustees of the Indentures and to our lender under the credit facility agreement, we will cure the noncompliance under the above mentioned Indentures and comply with the terms of the credit facility agreement.

            In November 2002, we entered into a new credit facility agreement that provides for aggregate borrowings of up to $385 million and is available on a revolving basis for a period of three years. The agreement requires that we annually deliver audited financial statements to the lenders within a specified period of time. As a result of the restatement and reaudit process, we received a waiver from our lenders through November 30, 2003, of any breach due to a delay in the delivery of our audited financial statements. As mentioned above, this breach has been cured by the filing of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002, and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 30, 2003.

18



            In connection with the 2002 Indenture, we agreed to file an exchange offer registration statement with the SEC and complete that offer no later than May 19, 2003. As a result of the delay in filing our 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K with the SEC, we were unable to complete the exchange offer and became contractually obligated to pay an additional 0.25% per annum interest on the notes issued under that Indenture. For each 90-day delay in the completion of the exchange offer, the interest rate on the 9.5% notes will increase by an additional 0.25% per annum up to a 1% maximum increase until such time as the exchange offer is completed.  We expect to satisfy our registration obligations relating to the 2002 Indenture in the near term, following which the incremental interest and dividend payments will be discontinued.

            In connection with the 2001 Indenture governing the issue of our 7% convertible preferred securities, we exercised our right to suspend the use of the resale prospectus, which is part of a shelf registration statement that we had filed and had declared effective to permit the resale of these securities, pending the filing of our 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K with the SEC.  Effective March 1, 2003, this suspension resulted in an increase of 0.5% per annum in the dividend rate borne by these securities.  The 0.5% premium was paid until we removed the suspension of the use of the resale prospectus on August 5, 2003, after the filing of our 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Note 8.7.  Business Segments and Geographic Information:Information

We have four reportable business segments: Engine, Power Generation, Filtration and Other and International Distributor.  Our business segments are organized according to the products and markets each segment serves.  This type of reporting structure allows management to focus its efforts on providing enhanced service to a wide range of customers.  Profit before interest, and taxes, restructuring and other nonrecurring charges and return on average net assets excluding debt, taxes, minimum pension liability adjustment and nonrecurring accruals are the primary basisbases for the chief operating decision maker, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, to evaluate the performance of each of our business segments. In the fourth quarter of 2001, we realigned our reporting structure and created a new business segment, International Distributor.  As a result, we have reclassified certain historical businessno allocation of debt-related items, minimum pension liability or income taxes is made to the individual segments. The segment datainformation below for 2002 has been restated to reflect this change.the adjustments described in Note 2. In addition, the segment net asset information has been recast to reflect management's current methodology of allocating assets to segments.  A summary of operating results by segment for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 29,March 30, 2003 and March 31, 2002 and September 23, 2001 is shown below:

Note 10.9.  Contingencies, Guarantees and Environmental Compliance

The Company and its subsidiaries            We are defendants in a number of pending legal actions, including actions related to the use and performance of our products. We carry product liability insurance covering significant claims for damages involving personal injury and property damage. In the event we are determined to be liable for damages in connection with actions and proceedings, the unaccrued portion of such liability is not expected to be material. We also have been identified as a potentially responsible party at several waste disposal sites under U.S. and related state environmental statutes and regulations and have joint and several liability for any investigation and remediation costs incurred with respect to such sites. We deny liability with respect to many of these legal actions and environmental proceedings and are vigorously defending such actions or proceedings. We have established reserves that we believe are adequate for our expected future liability in such actions and proceedings where the nature and extent of such liability can be reasonably estimated based upon presently available information.

            Our engine products are also subject to extensive statutory and regulatory requirements that directly or indirectly impose standards with respect to emissions and noise. A more complete description of our legal contingencies and environmental compliance is disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.  We have reviewed the status of the disclosures contained in our Form 10-K and believe there are no material changes except for the following:

Page 18

In April 2002, we received certification from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for our ISX heavy-duty diesel truck engine. In May 2002, we received certification from the EPA for our medium-duty 5.9-litre ISB engine that is used in trucks, buses, RV's, step vans and other medium-duty applications. In September 2002, the EPA certified our ISM heavy-duty diesel truck engine. These certifications affirm our compliance with stringent new emission standards that became effective October 1, 2002, and permit us to produce and sell these engines under the new emissions standards. The standards were established in a consent decree that Cumminswe entered into with the EPA, the U.S. Department of Justice and CARB (Californiathe California Air Research Board)Resources Board (CARB) in October 1998 along with other diesel engine manufacturers. In issuing our certifications, the EPA also affirmed the use of Auxiliary Emissions Control Devices (AECD) that we submitted.&nb sp; The use of AECD's is permitted under existing law when engine protection is deemed necessary under certain operating conditions.  AECD's are used in engines throughout the industry today and are approved as part of the EPA regulations and certification process.

20



We believe we are on schedule to meet the requirements to pull forward the reduction of emissions levels for off-highway engines of 300 to 750 horsepower that become effective under the consent decree on January 1, 2005. We believe meeting this requirement has been facilitated by our development work for the on-highway heavy-duty and medium-duty engines.

U.S. Distributor Guarantees

Manufacturers who signed            We have entered into an operating agreement with Citicorp Leasing, Inc. pursuant to which we agreed to guarantee revolving loans, equipment term loans and leases, real property loans and letters of credit made by Citicorp Leasing, Inc. to certain independent Cummins and Onan distributors in the EPA consent decreeUnited States, as well as certain distributors in 1998 arewhich we own an equity interest. Under the terms of the operating agreement, our guarantee of any particular financing will be limited to the amount of the financing in excess of a particular distributor's "borrowing base." The "borrowing base" of any particular distributor is equal to the amount that Citicorp Leasing, Inc. would have allowed the distributor to borrow absent our guarantee.

            In the event that any distributor is in default under any financing or:

then we will be required to guarantee the entire amount of each financing under the terms of the operating agreement. In addition, in the event the rating on our long-term senior unsecured debt falls below the thresholds described above, we will also be required to pay nonconformance penaltiesto Citicorp Leasing, Inc. a monthly fee equal to 0.50% per annum on the daily average outstanding balance of each financing arrangement under the operating agreement. Further, in the event that any distributor defaults under a particular financing arrangement, we will be required to purchase the assets of that distributor that secure its borrowings under the financing arrangement.

            The operating agreement will continue in effect until February 7, 2007, and may be renewed by the parties for additional one-year terms. As of March 30, 2003, we had $39 million of guarantees outstanding under the operating agreement relating to distributor borrowings of $279 million.

Canadian Distributor Guarantees

            We have entered into a number of guarantee agreements with The Bank of Nova Scotia pursuant to which we have agreed to guarantee borrowings of certain independent distributors of our products. Under the terms of these agreements, our guarantee with respect to any one financing arrangement between a distributor and The Bank of Nova Scotia is limited to 50% of the aggregate principal amount of the financing. As of March 30, 2003, we had $14 million of guarantees outstanding under these guarantee agreements relating to distributor borrowings of $29 million.

21



Residual Value Guarantees

            As more fully discussed in our 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K, we have various residual value guarantees on equipment leased under operating leases.  The amounts of those guarantees at March 30, 2003, are summarized as follows:

Power rent lease program

$  120

Manufacturing equipment on sale/leaseback

9

Other residual guarantees

12

 Total residual guarantees

$ 141

Other Guarantees

            In addition to the EPA if they sell engines that are noncompliantguarantees discussed above, from time to time we enter into other guarantee arrangements, including sale of foreign receivables with therecourse, guarantees of non-U.S. distributor financing and other miscellaneous guarantees of third party debt. The maximum potential loss related to these other guarantees is $12 million at March 30, 2003.

            There were no significant new and lower emissions levels determined byguarantee arrangements entered into during 2003, thus the consent decree.  The payment of nonconformance penalties will allow a manufacturer who signed the consent decree to sell noncompliant engines while it completes the development work necessary to produce and sell a compliant product. We do not expect to build and sell a significant number of noncompliant products and therefore we do not expect to pay a material amount of nonconformance penalties.the liability recorded was not significant.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

            The Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Third Quarter set forth in this Item 2 has been revised to reflect the restatement of the Company's unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for the  period ended March 31, 2002 as discussed in  Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.  We recommend that you read Note 2 in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements in conjunction with this Management's Discussion and Analysis. 

             In addition, in connection with the First Nine Monthspreparation of 2002 Comparedour 2003 Consolidated Financial Statements, we became aware of certain isolated matters that were treated incorrectly in the restatement of our pre-2002 Consolidated Financial Statements.  The cumulative effect of these matters resulted in a $2.7 million understatement of retained earnings at December 31, 2002.  The amount of the understatement was not material to 2001our pre 2003 financial statements nor to our expected full year 2003 financial statements.  As a result, our Consolidated Statement of Earnings for the first quarter of 2003 includes $3.6 million pre-tax income ($2.7 million after tax and $0.07 per share) to correct this matter. The corrections are classified in the Statement of Earnings based upon the classification of the original transactions.  Approximately $2.0 million of the correction is recorded in Cost of goods sold, $.2 million in Selling and administrative expenses and $1.4 million in Other (income) expense, net.  Our Consolidated Statement of Earnings for the first quarter of 2003 differ by these amounts from the Consolidated Statement of Earnings included in our From 8-K furnished April 17, 2003.

Overview

Cummins net loss for the first quarter 2003 was $31 million, or $0.79 per share, compared to last year's first quarter loss of $24 million, or $0.62 per share.  Excluding the cumulative effect of a one-time change in accounting principle in the first quarter 2002, our reported net loss was $27 million, or $0.69 per share.  While demand across most of our markets remained at weak levels, components of our Engine Business, our Filtration and Other segment, and our International Distributor Business continued to perform well.  The increase in the net loss over the prior year's quarter is primarily attributable to increased interest expense due to higher interest rates.

Cummins first quarter 2003 worldwide net sales during the third quarter of 2002 were $1.648$1.387 billion, an increase of $240$54 million, or 17 percent, compared to sales of $1.408 billion in the third quarter of 2001.  Net sales increased $190 million, or 134 percent, compared to net sales in the second quarter 2002.  Net sales for the first nine months of 2002 were $4.439 billion compared to $4.218$1.333 billion in the same period last year, an increasefirst quarter of $2212002.  Sales in the Engine, Filtration and Other and International Distributor segments increased quarter over quarter while Power Generation sales were down $16 million, or 56 percent, year-over-year.

Earnings before interest and taxes for the current quarter were $78 million compared to $302002.  Total Engine Business sales increased $40 million, in the third quarter a year ago.  Net earnings for the third quarter 2002 were $39primarily heavy-duty truck, up $17 million, or $.96 per share,8 percent, and sales to Chrysler, up $80 million, or 71 percent, offset by lower medium-duty truck and bus sales, lower sales to the recreational vehicle market and lower industrial sales.  Filtration and Other sales increased $26 million, or 11 percent, compared to $3the prior year's quarter, primarily due to improved demand and higher market penetration and International Distributor sales were up $12 million, or $.08 per share, in the third quarter 2001.  For the first nine months of 2002, earnings before interest and taxes were $109 million compared10 percent, primarily due to a $70 million loss before interest and taxes in 2001.  Net earnings for the first nine months of 2002 were $23 million, or $.60 per share, compared to a net loss of $105 million, or ($2.74) per share, in 2001.  Net earnings for the first nine months of 2002 included a $1 million net pre-tax restructuring credit while net earnings for the first nine months of 2001 included a $125 million pre-tax restructuring charge.strong parts sales.

Sales increased in all of our business segments during the third quarter 2002 compared with the third quarter of 2001 with the exception of our Power Generation Business.  Engine sales increased $266 million, or 35 percent, primarily reflecting strong demand in the heavy-duty truck sector in advance of the October 1, 2002 EPA emissions deadline and higher23



Net sales for the Dodge Ram truck.  Power Generation salesEngine Business were $315$816 million down $56 million, or 15 percent compared to the prior year's quarter as a result of lower demand and slow economic activity.  Sales in the Filtration and Other Business increased $25 million, or 12 percent, year-over-year, reflecting demand improvement and increased market penetration.  In our International Distributor Business, sales increased $16 million, or 12 percent, compared to thirdfirst quarter 2001, primarily due to increased business at our distributors in Australia and Asia.

For the first nine months2003, an increase of 2002, net sales increased $221$40 million, or 5 percent, compared to 2001.  Most of the improvement is attributable to increasednet sales in the Enginefirst quarter 2002.  Sales in the Power Generation Business were $267 million, down $16 million, or 6 percent, compared to first quarter of 2002, primarily as a result of lower economic activity and higher inventory levels in the marketplace.  Sales of the Filtration and Other Business primarily driven by higherwere $254 million, an increase of $26 million, or 11 percent, compared to 2002.  Sales for the International Distributor Business were $136 million, up $12 million, or 10 percent, compared to first quarter 2002 sales.

The Company's gross margin was $218 million, or 15.7 percent of net sales, volume in the thirdfirst quarter 2002of 2003, compared to $233 million, or 17.5 percent of net sales, in the first quarter of 2002.  The decrease in gross margin percentage was attributable to a higher mix of new engines with lower margins at product  introduction, as well as a lower sales mix of high-horsepower and heavy-duty engine sales in the first quarter 2003, compared to the prior year.  Power Generation sales experienced a 15 percent decline compared to the prior year, primarily due to lower demand in the commercial generator set markets.

Gross margin

Our gross margin in the third quarter 2002 was $310Product coverage costs were $54 million, or 18.83.9 percent of sales, in the first quarter 2003, compared to a gross margin of $255$46 million, or 18.13.5 percent of sales, a year ago.  Compared to the prior year, gross margin increased $55 million onago, again reflecting a net sales increasehigher mix of $240 million, or a 23 percent return on incremental net sales. The increase in gross margin dollarsnew engine shipments and the improvement in gross margin percent reflect higher absorption of fixed manufacturing costs due primarily to increased engine production and continuing improvementsproduct coverage expenses in our cost reduction efforts.

Included in third quarter gross margin were product coverage costs of $59 million, or 3.6 percent of sales, compared to $45 million or 3.2 percent of sales in the third quarter a year ago.  The increase in product coverage costs results from a higher concentration of heavy-duty engine shipments during the quarter.Power Generation segment.  Excluding product coverage costs, gross margin for the quarter was 22.4$272 million, or 19.6 percent of net sales, compared to 21.3$279 million, or 21.0 percent of net sales, in the thirdfirst quarter last year.

On a year-to-date basis, gross margin for 2002 was $810 million, or 18.2 percent, of sales compared to $756 million, or 17.9 percent, of sales in 2001, again reflecting better absorption of fixed manufacturing costs, primarily from increased volume and continued cost reduction, partially offset by lower volumes in our Power Generation business.

Selling and administrative expensesAdministrative

Selling and administrative expenses in the third quarter 2002 were $192 million, an increase of $15 million, or 8 percent, above spending levels in the comparable quarter a year ago.  For the first nine months of 2002Total selling and administrative expenses were $564$195 million, or 14 percent of net sales, in the first quarter 2003 compared to $543$189 million, or 14 percent of sales, in 2001.the first quarter 2002. The $6 million increase in selling and administrative expenses quarter over quarter and year over year is primarilywas a result of volume variable expenditures, funding of focused growth initiatives, primarily in our Filtration and higher variable compensation expense due to improved earnings, partially offset by cost reduction actions.Other segment and unfavorable variances from exchange rate differences.

Restructuring charges

For the first nine months of 2002, we recorded a net $1 million credit for restructuring charges.  The credit was recorded in the second quarter 2002 and was comprised of a $16 million second quarter charge offset by a $17 million reversal of excess restructuring accruals related to previous actions that were realigned or cancelled.  For the first nine months of 2001, restructuring charges were $125 million and were recorded in the second quarter 2001.  We have continued a restructuring program that began in 1998 to improve the Company's cost structure.  The related charges include staffing reorganizations and reductions in various business segments, asset impairment write-downs for manufacturing equipment, facility closure and consolidation costs, dissolution costs and restructuring actions related to joint venture operations, cancellation of a new engine development program and other exit costs related to small business operations.

As of December 31, 2001 all activities associated with the 1998 and 1999 restructuring actions are complete.  The restructuring actions taken in 2000 and 2001 were directly related to the downturn in the North American heavy-duty truck market and several other end-markets and were necessary in order to achieve lower production costs, improve operating efficiencies, and enhance management effectiveness under difficult economic conditions.  A detailed discussion of our restructuring actions during 2000, 2001 and 2002 follows.

2000 Restructuring charges

During the fourth quarter of 2000, we announced restructuring plans primarily in response to the downturn in the North American heavy-duty truck market and several other end-markets where our shipments had declined 35 percent from 1999 and recorded a restructuring charge of $160 million.  Of this amount, $131 million was associated with our Engine Business, $19 million with our Power Generation Business and $10 million with our Filtration and Other Business.  The charges included workforce reduction costs of $42 million, $102 million for asset impairments (including $30 million for internally developed software) and $16 million associated with exit costs to close or consolidate a number of small business operations.

The workforce reduction actions included overall reductions in staffing levels and the impact of divesting a small business operation.  The charges included severance and benefit costs of terminating approximately 600 salaried and 830 hourly employees and were based on amounts pursuant to established benefit programs or statutory requirements of the affected operations. In the fourth quarter 2001, we realigned our workforce reduction plan and reallocated $3 million of excess liabilities for termination benefits to recent workforce reduction actions committed to during that quarter.  All employees affected by this workforce reduction plan were separated or terminated by June 30, 2002 and we expect to pay remaining severance costs and related benefits under this action by year-end 2002.  Approximately 660 salaried and 725 hourly employees were affected by this plan.

The asset impairment charge of $102 million was calculated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 121. Approximately $30 million of the charge consisted of capitalized software-in-process related to manufacturing, financial and administrative information technology programs that were cancelled during program development and prior to implementation.  The remaining $72 million included $38 million for engine assembly and fuel system manufacturing equipment to be disposed of upon closure or consolidation of production operations.  The equipment is expected to continue in use and be depreciated for approximately two years from the date of the charge until closure or consolidation.  The expected recovery value of the equipment was based on estimated salvage value and was excluded from the impairment charge.   The charge also included $11 million for equipment available for disposal, $6 million for properties available for disposal, $10 million for inv estments, and $7 million for intangibles and minority interest positions related to divesting smaller operations and investments.  The carrying value of assets held for disposal and the effect of suspending depreciation on these assets was not significant.

In the second quarter 2002, we cancelled plans to close a filtration manufacturing plant, transferred impaired power generation equipment to a foreign operation and realigned our workforce reduction plan resulting in a reversal of $12 million in charges related to this plan.  During the third quarter 2002, we paid approximately $1 million related to liabilities under this plan.  As of September 29, 2002, $8 million of restructuring charges remained in accrued liabilities related to this plan.  We expect to complete this restructuring action in 2002.

In the third quarter 2002, we recognized approximately $16 million in savings under this plan comprised of $12 million in cost of goods sold, $3 million in selling, general and administrative expenses and $1 million in research and engineering expenses.

Page 22

2001 Restructuring charges

In the second quarter of 2001, primarily as a result of the continuing downturn in the North American heavy-duty truck market and several other end-markets, we announced further restructuring actions and recorded restructuring charges of $125 million.  The charges included $14 million attributable to workforce reduction actions, $110 million for asset impairment and $1 million attributed to the divestiture of a small business operation.  Of this charge, $118 million was associated with the Engine Business, $5 million with the Power Generation Business and $2 million with the Filtration and Other Business.

The workforce reduction actions included overall reductions in staffing levels and the impact of divesting a small business operation.  The charges included severance costs and related benefits of terminating approximately 400 salaried and 150 hourly employees and were based on amounts pursuant to established benefit programs or statutory requirements of the affected operations.   All employees affected by this workforce reduction plan and the subsequent fourth quarter 2001 realignment plan will have been terminated by the end of the fourth quarter 2002 and remaining severance costs and related benefits will be paid through the end of the first quarter 2003.  A total of 400 salaried and 180 hourly employees were affected by this plan.

The asset impairment charge was for equipment, tooling and related investment supporting a new engine development program that was cancelled during the quarter.  The charges included the investment in manufacturing equipment previously capitalized and cancellation charges for capital and tooling purchase commitments.  The charge was reduced by the estimated salvage value related to the planned equipment disposals.  In the second quarter 2002, we recovered $8 million of salvage proceeds on planned equipment disposals, of which $5 million was in excess of estimated recoveries and was reversed against the original restructuring charge.

As of September 29, 2002 $4 million of restructuring charges related to unpaid severance costs and termination benefits remained in accrued liabilities.  We expect to complete all activities associated with this restructuring plan in the fourth quarter 2002.

For the third quarter ended September 29, 2002 we recognized savings from this restructuring action of approximately $3 million in cost of goods sold, $2 million in selling, general and administration expenses and $1 million in research and engineering expenses.

2002 Restructuring charges

In the second quarter 2002, we announced further restructuring actions precipitated by weak market conditions, related primarily to our Engine Business and Power Generation Business and recorded additional restructuring charges of $16 million.  The charges included $11 million attributable to workforce reduction actions, $3 million for asset impairments and $2 million related to facility closures and consolidations.  Of this charge, $5 million was associated with the Engine Business, $4 million with Power Generation, $3 million with Filtration and Other and $4 million with the International Distributor Business.

The charges included severance costs and related benefits of terminating approximately 220 salaried and 350 hourly employees and were based on amounts pursuant to established benefit programs or statutory requirements of the affected operations.  These actions reflect overall reductions in staffing levels due to closing operations and moving production to available capacity.  As of September 29, 2002 approximately 180 salaried and 300 hourly employees had been separated or terminated under this plan.  We expect to complete all workforce reduction actions associated with this plan by the end of the first quarter 2003.

The asset impairment charge is related to equipment available for disposal.  The carrying value of the equipment and the effect of suspending depreciation on the equipment were not significant.

This action is expected to generate approximately $13 million in annual savings.  For the third quarter ended September 29, 2002, approximately $2 million in savings was recognized in cost of goods sold.  As of September 29, 2002, $5 million of restructuring charges remained in accrued liabilities.  We expect to complete this restructuring action in the first quarter 2003 and make related cash flow payments by the end of second quarter 2003.

The $17 million in remaining costs of our 2000, 2001 and 2002 restructuring actions are expected to be funded from cash provided by operations.

Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements includes schedules that present, by major cost component and by year of expense, activity related to the restructuring charges for the years 2000 through 2002, including adjustments to the original charges.

Provision for income taxes

Income Taxes

We recorded an income tax provisionbenefit of $15$9 million for our thirdin the first quarter 2002 earningsof 2003 compared to a $2 million provision for our third quarter 2001 earnings.  For the first nine months of 2002, we recorded a $12 million provision for income taxes compared to a $44an $8 million tax benefit recorded forin the same period in 2001. All reporting periods reflectfirst quarter of 2002.  The first quarter 2003 and 2002 income tax benefit reflects an estimated annual effective tax rate of 25 percent on our earnings (loss) before income taxes and after deducting dividends on ourthe Company's preferred securities and an effective tax rate of 33 percent for restructuring, asset impairments and other non-recurring charges.securities.

Minority interestInterest

Minority interest in income of our consolidated operations was $4 million in the thirdfirst quarter of 2003, compared to $3 million in the first quarter of 2002, comparedan increase of $1 million, primarily due to $4higher earnings at Cummins India Limited, a 51 percent owned subsidiary.

Dividends on Preferred Securities

Dividends on our preferred securities were $6 million in the thirdfirst quarter of 2001.  For2003 and 2002.  A description of these securities is provided in Note 9 "Convertible Preferred Securities of Subsidiary Trust" of our Consolidated Financial Statements in our most recent annual report filed on Form 10-K.  Effective July 1, 2003 these dividends will be prospectively classified as interest expense  in accordance with a new accounting standard issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (see Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements - SFAS No. 150).

Earnings from Operations

The operating earningsloss before interest and taxes for the Engine Business were $50was $22 million in thirdthe first quarter 2002,2003, compared to an operating loss before interest and taxes of $18 million a year ago, or an improvement of $68 million onago.  The higher operating loss primarily results from a sales increase of $266 million.  The improvementdecline in operating earnings was attributablegross margin due to the increase in enginelaunch of a complete line of new emissions compliant products and several one-time costs incurred during the quarter including costs related to moving our ISX assembly operations.  Benefits from cost reduction programs were more than offset by the shift from mature engines to new engines where our margins are typically lower at product introduction.  The margin decrease was partially offset by significantly lower spending for research and engineering expenses during the quarter.  We expect Engine Business gross margins to improve throughout the remainder of the year as volumes begin to ramp up and the accompanying benefit of fixed cost absorption at our manufacturing plants and our continued focus on cost reduction.efficiencies are realized.

The overall declineNorth American commercial business, particularly in marginhigh-horsepower generator set applications where our fixed manufacturing costs are underabsorbed, pricing pressure is continuing and earnings before interest and taxes in the Power Generation business is attributable to several factors.  First, is the decrease in volume due to economic weakness, second, a shift in sales mix, with a decline in unit shipments of higher margin heavy-duty and high-horsepower products. Third, the overall decline in sales volume resulted in underabsorption of fixed overhead costs at our manufacturing facilities.  Fourth, excess inventory in the marketplace continues to create pricing pressures resulting in heavier discounting to retain market share.  Lastly,we experienced lower utilization of theour Power Generation rental fleet is lower than last year due to overall weaker demand, resulting in reduced profitability in the rental business.fleet.

Financial Covenants and Credit Rating

            A number of our contractual obligations and financing agreements, such as our accounts receivable securitization program, our financing arrangements for independent distributors, our new revolving credit facility and our equipment sale-leaseback agreement, have restrictive covenants and/or pricing modifications that may be triggered in the event of downward revisions to our corporate credit rating.

In April 2002, Moody's Investors Services, one            Any rating can be revised upward or downward or withdrawn at any time by a rating agency if it decides the circumstances warrant that change, and there can be no assurance that our credit ratings will not be lowered further or withdrawn by a rating agency. Any future lowering of two majorour credit ratings could further increase the cost of our financing agreements and arrangements, and also have a negative impact on our ability to access the capital markets or borrow funds at current rates.

            The senior long-term and short-term credit ratings currently assigned to Cummins by the rating agencies listed below are below investment grade credit rating.  Our current ratings and ratings outlook from each of the credit rating agencies notified us that they were lowering our long-term and short-term debt ratings primarily as a resultis shown below.  Each of the continuing weakness in the North American heavy-duty truck market.  Our senior unsecured long-term debt rating was lowered from "Baa3" to "Ba1" and our short-term debt rating was lowered from "Prime-3" to "Not-Prime."  At that time, Standard & Poor's, theratings should be viewed independently of any other major credit rating agency, reaffirmed its rating of Cummins debt at "BBB-."  In October 2002, Moody's confirmed their long-term rating of our senior debt at "Ba1" but changed their outlook to Negative from Stable due to uncertainties regarding near-term demand in the heavy-duty truck market created by the October 1, 2002 initiation of more stringent EPA emissions regulations.  Also in October, as a result of declining sales in our Power Generation Business and weak demand in the heavy-duty and medium- duty truck markets, Standard and Poor's, the other major credit rating agency, lowered our debt rating from "BBB-" to "BB+", equivalent to Moody's "Ba1".rating.

            Our debt agreements contain several restrictive covenants. The most restrictive of these covenants applies to the $250 million 9.5% Senior Notes and our new credit facility which may, 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 arrangements,covenants including a minimum net worth, a minimum debt-to-equity ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio. As of March 30, 2003, we were in compliance with all of the covenants under our borrowing agreements except as noted below.

            As a result of the restatement and reaudit described in Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements,  we delayed the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002, and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 30, 2003, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).   As previously disclosed, the delay in filing resulted in a breach of a requirement for timely satisfaction of SEC filing obligations under several of our credit agreements, the most significant of which are discussed below. A majority of our long-term debt is governed by three Indenture agreements summarized as follows:

            Under each of the Indentures, we are required to deliver to the respective Trustees a copy of our Annual Report on Form 10-K within specified periods of time after such filings are due (March 31, 2003). The breach caused by the delay in filing our 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K gave certain rights to the Trustees and debt covenants.holders under the Indentures to accelerate maturity of our indebtedness if they give us notice and we do not cure the breach within 60 days.  However, neither the Trustees nor the respective debt holders gave us such notice.  By filing our 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the first quarter ended March 30, 2003, with the SEC and by delivering a copy of these filings to the Trustees of the Indentures and to our lender under the credit facility agreement, we will cure the noncompliance under the abovementioned Indentures and comply with the terms of the credit facility agreement.

This rating level trigger remains$24 million in effect until August 31, 2004 at which time the rating trigger reverts2002 to a ratingnet loss of below "BBB-"$31 million in 2003, and an increase in non-cash adjustments for Standard & Poor's or below "Baa3" for Moody's.  Asearnings results from our joint ventures and alliances of September 29, 2002, we had guaranteed $53$7 million of financing arrangements for our North American distributors underearnings in the operating agreement.

The interest rate on borrowings underlosses in 2002.  In addition, non-cash adjustments from minority interests were $1 million higher in first quarter 2003 compared to 2002 and cash provided by translation and hedging activities was also lower by $7 million in first quarter 2003 compared to 2002.  Net working capital increased during the agreement is based on our credit rating from both rating agencies, Moody's and Standard & Poor's.  As a result, our interest rate on the revolving credit agreement was not affected by the Moody's downgrade in April and continued to be based on the higher Standard & Poor's credit rating.   As a resultfirst quarter of Standard & Poor's lowering their credit rating of our unsecured debt below investment grade in October, the interest cost of our borrowings under the revolving credit agreement was increased by 10 basis points.  As of September 29, 2002, we have $40 million outstanding under the agreement.  Our revolving credit agreement matures in January 2003 and we expectreduced cash by $24 million compared to renew the agreement with our lenders in the fourthfirst quarter of 2002, on satisfactory terms.

Equipment sale-leaseback agreement - In 2001, we entered into a sale-leaseback agreement whereby we sold certain manufacturing equipment and leased it back under an operating lease.  As a resultmajority of the Moody's downgrade in April, and the Standard and Poor's downgrade in October, we were required under the lease agreementwhich was used to obtain irrevocable, unconditional standby letters of credit for $64 million.  The letters were posted to the benefit of the equipment lessor and lenders and will remain in effect until we achieve and maintain a minimum investment grade credit rating for twelve consecutive months.  If we had been unable to obtain these letters of credit, we could satisfy our obligation under the lease agreement by borrowing under our revolving credit facility and posting the proceeds as collateral.

Financial covenants - Our debt and credit agreements contain several restrictive financial covenants. Under the most restrictive provisions of these agreements, we are required to maintain a debt to capital ratio of 55 percent and a minimum net worth (as defined in the agreement) of $1.159 billion as of September 29, 2002.  As of September 29, 2002 our net worth, as defined in the agreement, was $1.209 billion.  The agreement also limits our subsidiary borrowings and sale-leaseback transactions to $200 million or less.  As of September 29, 2002, our subsidiary borrowings and sale-leaseback indebtedness was $170 million.  We are in compliance with all of the covenants and restrictions under all of our borrowing agreements as of September 29, 2002.

Operating activities provided $32 million in cash for the first nine months of 2002 compared to $57 million in the first nine months of 2001, or a decrease of $25 million.  The decrease resulted primarily from an increase in net earnings after adjustment for non-cash items, up $28 million compared to 2001, offset by significantly higher working capital requirements, up $53 million compared to 2001.  Working capital items consumed $139 million of cash in the first nine months of 2002 compared to $86 million a year ago, resulting in a $53 million decrease in cash.  The net change in accounts payable, incomereduce taxes payable and other items provided $226 million of working capitalas the decrease in the first nine months of 2002 compared to 2001 butreceivables and accounts payable and accrued expenses were offset by changesincreases in net receivables and inventories of $261 million and $18 million, respectively.  Most of the increase in receivables was a result of higher sales volume in September 2002 compared to 2001 and a majori ty of the increase in inventory occurred in the first quarter 2002 as demand increased for our heavy-duty engine products.  During the third quarter 2002, inventories were reduced and provided $28 million in cash while net receivables increased $153 million, including $70 million repayment from the sale of receivables.inventory.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Effective

            In November 2002, the endEmerging Issues Task Force (EITF) issued EITF Issue 00-21, "Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables." This issue provides guidance as to how to determine when an arrangement involving multiple deliverables contains more than one unit of accounting and when more than one unit of accounting exists, how the arrangement consideration should be allocated to the multiple units. The application of this issue could affect the timing of the third quarter were $101 million comparedrecognition of revenue for multiple deliverable arrangements. The guidance in this issue is prospective for revenue arrangements entered into after June 30, 2003. We are in the process of analyzing the impact this EITF will have, if any, on our revenue recognition in the future.

            In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities", an Interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 "Consolidated Financial Statements" (FIN 46). FIN 46 provides guidance related to $115identifying variable interest entities (VIEs), including entities more commonly referred to as special purpose entities or SPEs, and in determining whether such entities should be consolidated by the entities' primary beneficiary, defined in FIN 46 as the entity that holds the majority of the variable interests in the VIE. In addition, FIN 46 requires disclosure for both consolidated and non-consolidated VIEs. Certain disclosure provisions of FIN 46 are effective for financial statements issued after January 31, 2003, and the consolidation requirements applicable to Cummins are effective for all periods beginning after June 15, 2003. Currently we participate in four VIEs, two of which are already consolidated. We are assessing the impact of this interpretation on the other two VIEs, one that is a party to our sale-leaseback transaction entered into in 2001 and a receivable securitization conduit to which our consolidated VIE sells receivables. Although we are still assessing the impact, we currently do not believe we are considered the primary beneficiary of either VIE and therefore would not be required to consolidate these entities. Our maximum potential loss related to the sale-leaseback SPE is limited to the amount of our residual value guarantee ($9 million at June 29, 2003). At June 29, 2003, $5 million of receivable sales were outstanding under the endreceivable securitization facility. 

            In May 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 150 "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity" (SFAS 150). SFAS 150 establishes standards for how companies classify and measure certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. SFAS 150 requires financial instruments meeting certain criteria to be reported as liabilities that were previously reflected as equity or in between liabilities and equity. We are required to adopt SFAS 150 for our existing financial instruments on July 1, 2003. The adoption of this statement will result in the third quarterclassification of our obligations associated with the Convertible Preferred Securities of Subsidiary Trust as a year ago.liability and will result in the classification of future payments related to these obligations as interest expense in our Consolidated Statements of Earnings. The adoption of this statement will have no impact on net earnings.

Critical Accounting Policies

A summary of our significant accounting policies is included in Note 1 of our Consolidated Financial Statementscontained in the annual report of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.10-K. We believe the application of theseour accounting policies on a consistent basis enables us to provide financial statement users with useful, reliable and timely information about our earnings results, financial condition and cash flows.

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

33



Critical accounting policies are those that may have a material impact on our financial statements and also require management to exercise significant judgment due to a high degree of uncertainty at the time the estimate isestimates are made. 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 policies include those addressing the recoverability and useful lives of assets (including goodwill), estimation of liabilities for product coverage programs and accounting for income taxes, and pensions and postretirement benefits.

Page 32

Recoverability of Long-lived Assets

Cummins investment  These critical accounting policies are discussed in engine manufacturing equipment is depreciated using a modified units-of-production method.  The cost of all other equipment is depreciated usingour 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the straight-line method.  Under the modified units-of-production method, the service life of an asset is measured in terms of units of product produced rather than the passage of time.  Depreciation expense under the modified units-of-production method is likewise measured in terms of units of product produced subject to a minimum level or floor.  The assumptions and estimates regarding asset service life, estimated residual value and units of production are based on a number of factors, including but not limited to, wear and tear, deterioration, and obsolescence.  Actual results could differ from these estimates due to changes in retirement or maintenance practices, the introduction of new technology and new products or other changes in the expected service lives of the asse ts.  We evaluate the carrying value of our long-lived assets by performing impairment tests whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate possible impairment.  In addition, we perform an annual impairment test for our goodwill.SEC.  

Warranty Costs

Our estimates of liabilities for product coverage programs, other than product recalls, are made at the time our products are sold.  These estimates are based on historical experience and reflect management'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 uncertainty surrounding the nature and frequency of product recall programs, the liability associated with such programs is recorded when the recall action is announced. Our warranty liability is affected by component failure rates, repair costs, and the time of failure, partially offset by recovery from certain of our vendors.  Future events and circumstances related to these factors could materially change our estimates and require adjustments to our liability.

Realization of Deferred Tax Assets

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.  Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent we conclude there is uncertainty as to their ultimate realization.  Changes in future tax benefits may be affected by future profitability, the passage of new tax laws, changes in taxable income and the resolution of tax audit issues.

Pension and Other Post-Retirement Benefits

We sponsor a number of pension and other retirement plans in various countries.  In the U.S and the United Kingdom we have several major defined benefit plans which are separately funded.  The accounting for our pension and other post-retirement 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.  These assumptions include a discount rate, an expected return on plan assets rate, a future compensation increase rate, and a health care cost trend rate.  In addition, there are also subjective actuarial factors such as retirement age, mortality rates and participant withdrawal assumptions.  The actuarial assumptions we use may differ significantly from actual results due to changing economic conditions, withdrawal rates, participant life span and changes in actual costs of health care.  These differences may result in a material impact to the amount of pension and other post-retirement benefit expenses that we record.  We have assumed an expected rate of return on plan assets of 10 percent in the U.S. and 8.5 percent in the U.K. during the past two years.  Due to lower market returns in the past two years, we now intend to lower our asset return assumptions to 8.5 percent in the U.S. and 8 percent in the United Kingdom.   We expect to use these return on plan asset assumptions for 2003 and will continue to review and update these assumptions on an annual basis.  In 2003, we expect our pension expense to increase approximately $30 million due primarily to reducing our expected rate of return on plan assets.

Page 33

Recent declines in equity markets and interest rates have had a negative impact on our pension plan liability and the fair value of plan assets.  As a result, the fair value of plan assets is projected to be lower than the accumulated pension benefit obligation at the end of 2002.  Based on current fair values of plan assets and current interest rates as of September 30, 2002, we anticipate recording a charge of approximately $300 million to accumulated other comprehensive income, a contra shareholders' equity account, in the fourth quarter of 2002.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections" (SFAS No. 145).  SFAS No. 145 requires that gains and losses from extinguishment of debt be classified as extraordinary items only if they meet the criteria in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30 (APB No. 30).  Applying the provisions of APB No. 30 will distinguish transactions that are part of an entity's recurring operations from those that are unusual and infrequent and meet the criteria for classification as an extraordinary item. SFAS No. 145 is effective for Cummins beginning January 1, 2003.

In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities (SFAS No. 146).  SFAS No. 146 nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity".  Under EITF No. 94-3, a liability for exit costs was recognized at the date of an entity's commitment to an exit plan.  SFAS No. 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized at fair value when the liability is incurred.  The provisions of SFAS No. 146 are effective for exit or disposal activities, such as restructuring, involuntarily terminating employees, and consolidating facilities, that are initiated after December 31, 2002.

Item 3.  Quantitative Andand Qualitative Disclosure OfDisclosures About Market Risk

As is more fully described in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001, we            We are exposed to various types of marketfinancial risk primarily currencyresulting from changes in foreign exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. We monitor our risks in these areas on a continuous basisThis risk is closely monitored and generally enter into forward and futures contracts to minimize our exposures for periods of less than one year.  Our strategy of managing our derivative instruments does not provide for speculation.

In April 2002, we began hedging our foreign currency exposure to variability in the functional currency equivalent cash flows associated with anticipated transactions.  These derivative contracts are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges under SFAS No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities".  The effective portion of the unrealized gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income and 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.  The ineffective portion of the unrealized gain or loss on the derivative instrument, if any, is recognized in "Other Income" in current earnings during the period of change.  For derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments, the fair value gains or losses from these foreign currency derivativ es are recognized directly in earnings.  Our internal policy allows for managing anticipated foreign currency cash flow for up to one year.

We are exposed to market risk from fluctuations in interest rates.  We manage our exposure to interest rate fluctuationsmanaged through the use of financial (derivative) instruments including price swaps, forward contracts and interest rate swaps. As clearly stated in our policies and procedures, financial instruments 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 strong credit ratings, and thus the credit risk associated with these transactions is not considered significant. The objectiveresults and status of our hedging transactions are reported to senior management on a monthly and quarterly basis. Note 13 of the swaps isNotes to more effectively balanceConsolidated Financial Statements and Item 7A. in our borrowing costs and interest rate risk and reduce financing costs.  Currently, we have one interest rate swap relating tomost recent annual report filed on Form 10-K contains further information regarding our 6.45% Notes that maturedisclosure about market risk.  There has been no material change in 2005.  The swap converts $225 million notional amount from fixed rate debt into floating rate debt and matures in 2005.  The interest rate swap is designated as a fair value hedgethis information since the filing of our fixed rate debt.  As the critical terms of the swap and the debt are the same, the swap is assumed to be 100 percent effective and the fair value gainsmost recent Annual Report on the swap are completely offset by the fair value adjustment to the underlying debt.

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 enter into fixed price swaps 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 fixed price swaps are derivative contracts and are designated as cash flow hedges.  The ineffective portion of the hedge is recognized in our earnings in the period in which the ineffectiveness occurs.Form 10-K.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

We maintain a system of internal controls and procedures and disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance as to the reliability of our consolidated financial statementsConsolidated Financial Statements and other disclosures included in this report. Our Board of Directors, operating through its audit committeeAudit Committee which is composed entirely of independent outside directors, provides oversight to our financial reporting process.

            During the course of their audit of our Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2002, our independent auditors, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), advised management and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors that they had identified certain deficiencies in internal control.  The deficiencies are considered to be a material weakness as defined under standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.  The weakness relates to the failure of the Company's control processes to identify material accounts payable reconciliation issues at two manufacturing locations.

Within            In response to these issues, senior management and the 90-day period priorAudit Committee directed the Company to dedicate resources and take additional steps to strengthen its control processes and procedures to ensure that these internal control deficiencies do not result in a material misstatement of our Consolidated Financial Statements. Specifically, we have implemented the following corrective actions as well as additional procedures:

            We will continue to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures on an ongoing basis and implement actions to enhance our resources and training in the area of financial reporting and disclosure responsibilities and to review such actions with the Audit Committee and PwC.  We have discussed our corrective actions and plans with the Audit Committee and PwC and as of the date of this report, we evaluatedbelieve the actions outlined have corrected the deficiencies in internal controls that are considered to be a material weakness.  PwC is unable to assess the effectiveness of our actions until they have completed their audit for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls

            An evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's senior management, including its Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of ourits disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.1934 as of the quarter ended March 30, 2003. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that ourthere were no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the Company's disclosure controls and procedures and that the design and operation of these disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them in a timely manner to material information relating to Cummins Inc. required to be included in this quarterly reportQuarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
