To the Benefits Policy Committee and

  Participants of the Cummins Retirement and

  Savings Plan for Collectively Bargained Employees

Columbus, Indiana

 

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the Cummins Retirement and Savings Plan for Collectively Bargained Employees (the “Plan”) as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2012. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2012, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental Schedule H, line 4i – Schedule of Assets (Held at End of Year) is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental information is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. The supplemental information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

1.  description of the plan

 

The following description of the Cummins Retirement and Savings Plan for Collectively Bargained Employees (the “Plan”) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.

 

General

 

The Plan is a defined contribution plan designed to provide participants with a systematic method of savings and at the same time enable such participants to benefit from contributions made to the Plan by Cummins Inc. and Affiliates (collectively, the “Company”). Eligible employees are bargaining unit employees of the Company. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”).

 

Master Trust

 

The Cummins Inc. and Affiliates Retirement and Savings Plans Master Trust (“Master Trust”) holds the assets of the Plan and the Cummins Retirement and Savings Plan for Non-Bargaining Employees.

 

The trustee for the Master Trust is State Street Corporation. As participants transfer between different locations within the Company, their related Plan account transfers to the appropriate Plan, if applicable. Such transfers are reflected in the accompanying financial statements as “Fund transfers with Affiliate Plans”.

Contributions

 

Participants may contribute up to 50% of their eligible pay through a combination of pre-tax and after-tax contributions. Participants may direct their contributions in any of twenty-five investment options, including the Cummins Stock Fund.

 

Matching Contributions

 

The Company matches participant contributions using various formulas of 50% of the first 2% of participant’s wages contributed (up to a maximum of $325), 100% of the first 2% of participant’s wages contributed, 50% of $900, 50% of the first 4% of participant’s wages contributed, 50% of the first 6% of participant’s wages contributed, or 100% of the first 2% of participant’s wages contributed, 50% on the next 2%, and 25% on the next 4% of participant’s wages contributed based on the participant’s employing company, as defined. The matching contribution is made in the form of cash or Company stock, based on the participant’s employing company, as defined. The entire amount of Company stock received as a match is available for diversification.

 

Participant Accounts

 

Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contributions, the Company’s contributions and an allocation of Plan earnings. Allocations of Plan earnings are made daily and are based upon the participant’s weighted average account balance for the day, as described in the Plan document.

Vesting

 

Participants are fully vested in all employee and employer contributions and earnings thereon at all times.

 

Benefit Payments

 

Upon termination of employment or retirement, account balances are paid either as a lump-sum distribution or annual installments not to exceed the lesser of 15 years or the life expectancy of the participant and/or joint life expectancy of the participant and beneficiary, and commence no later than the participant reaching age 70-1/2. The Plan also permits hardship withdrawals from participant pre-tax contributions and actual earnings thereon. Participants may also withdraw their after-tax contributions.

 

Voting Rights

 

Each participant is entitled to exercise voting rights attributable to the Company shares allocated to his or her account. The Trustee shall vote all Company shares for which no voting instructions were received in the same manner and proportion as the shares for which voting instructions were received.

 

Participant Loans

 

A participant can obtain a loan up to a maximum of the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of the participant’s account balance. Loans are secured by the participant’s account balance and bear interest at the prime rate plus one percent, and mature no later than 4½ years from the date of the loan. Principal and interest is paid ratably through payroll deductions.

Plan Termination

 

Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA.

 

 

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Accounting

 

The financial statements of the Plan have been prepared on an accrual basis of accounting.

 

Investment contracts held by a defined contribution plan are required to be reported at fair value. However, contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits of a defined contribution plan attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the plan. The Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits presents the fair value of the investment contracts as well as the adjustment of the fully benefit-responsive investment contracts from fair value to contract value. The Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits is prepared on a contract value basis.

FOR COLLECTIVELY BARGAINED EMPLOYEES

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2012 AND 2011

 

 

Investments

 

The Plan’s investment in the Master Trust is stated at fair value based on the fair value of the underlying investments of the Master Trust, determined primarily by quoted market prices, except for the Stable Value fund and common/collect trust investments. The Stable Value fund consists primarily of insurance contracts and bank investment contracts with various companies. Insurance contracts and bank contracts are nontransferable, but provide for benefit-responsive withdrawals by plan participants at contract value. Alternative investment contracts consist of investments together with contracts under which a bank or other institution provides for benefit-responsive withdrawals by plan participants at contract value.  Contract value represents contributions made to investment contracts, plus earnings, less participant withdrawals and administrative expenses.  Fair value is determined using a discounted cash flow method by considering such factors as the benefit-responsiveness of the investment contracts, the ability of the parties to perform in accordance with the terms of the contracts, and the likelihood that plan-directed withdrawals would cause payment to plan participants to be at amounts other than contract value. There are no limitations on liquidity guarantees and no valuation reserves are being recorded to adjust contract amounts.

Cummins RETIREMENT AND SAVINGS PLAN

FOR COLLECTIVELY BARGAINED EMPLOYEES

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2012 AND 2011

 

 

The common/collective trust investments are public investment securities valued using the net asset value (NAV) provided by fund managers. The NAV is quoted on a private market that is not active; however, the unit price is based on underlying investments which are traded on an active market.

 

Participant Loans

 

Participant loans are measured at their unpaid principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest. Delinquent participant loans are recorded as a distribution based upon the terms of the Plan document.

 

Allocation of Master Trust Assets and Transactions

 

The investment income and expenses of the Master Trust are allocated to each plan based on the relationship of the Plan’s investment balances to the total Master Trust investment balances.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and changes therein, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Master Trust invests in various securities.  Investment securities, in general, are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, credit, and overall market volatility. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and such changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the financial statements.

 

Payment of Benefits

 

Benefit payments are recorded when paid.

 

Administrative Expenses

 

Substantially all costs of administering the Plan are paid by the Company. However, starting in 2011, a portion of administrative fees were charged to participants’ accounts (a monthly fee of 0.05% of the participant’s account balance up to a maximum of $5).

The Stable Value fund portion of the Master Trust comprises several fully benefit-responsive insurance and investment contracts. This fund includes open-ended, security-backed investments. The contracts have varying yields which averaged 1.00 percent and 2.17 percent during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The contracts have varying crediting interest rates which averaged 2.50 percent and 3.23 percent during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The crediting interest rates adjust on varying intervals by contract. There are no reserves against contract value for credit risk of the contract issuer or otherwise.

 

The Stable Value fund’s key objectives are to provide preservation of principal, maintain a stable interest rate, and provide daily liquidity at contract value for participant withdrawals and transfers in accordance with the provision of the Plans.  To accomplish these objectives, the Stable Value fund invests primarily in investment contracts such as traditional guaranteed investment contracts (GICs) and wrapper contracts (also known as synthetic GICs). In a traditional GIC, the issuer takes a deposit from the Stable Value fund and purchases investments that are held in the issuer’s general account. The issuer is contractually obligated to repay the principal and a specified rate of interest guaranteed to the Stable Value fund.  A synthetic investment contract, or wrapper contract, is an investment contract issued by an insurance company or other financial institution, designed to provide a contract value “wrapper” around a portfolio of bonds or other fixed income securities that are owned by the Stable Value fund.

In a wrapper contract structure, the underlying investments are owned by the Stable Value fund and held in trust for participants. The Stable Value fund purchases a wrapper contract from an insurance company or bank. The wrapper contract amortizes the realized and unrealized gains and losses on the underlying fixed income investments, typically over the duration of the investments, through adjustments to the future interest crediting rate (which is the rate earned by participants in the Stable Value fund for the underlying investments). The issuer of the wrapper contract provides assurance that the adjustments to the interest crediting rate do not result in a future interest crediting rate that is less than zero. An interest crediting rate less than zero would result in a loss of principal or accrued interest.

 

The key factors that influence future interest crediting rates for a wrapper contract include the level of market interest rates, the amount and timing of participant contributions, transfers, and withdrawals into and out of the wrapper contract, the investment returns generated by the fixed income investments that back the wrapper contract and the duration of the underlying investments backing the wrapper contract. Wrapper contracts’ interest crediting rates are typically reset on a monthly or quarterly basis. While there may be slight variations from one contract to another, most wrapper contracts use a formula to determine the interest crediting rate that is based on the specific factors as aforementioned. Over time, the crediting rate formula amortizes the Stable Value fund’s realized and unrealized market value gains and losses over the duration of the underlying investments.

 

Because changes in market interest rates affect the yield to maturity and the market value of the underlying investments, they can have a material impact on the wrapper contract’s interest crediting rate. In addition, participant withdrawals and transfers from the Stable Value fund are paid at contract value but funded through the market value liquidation of the underlying investments, which also impacts the interest crediting rate. The resulting gains and losses in the market value of the underlying investments relative to the wrapper contract values are represented in the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits as “Adjustment from fair value to contract value”. If the adjustment from fair value to contract value is positive for a given contract, this indicates that the wrapper contract value is greater than the market value of the underlying investments. The embedded market value losses will be amortized in the future through a lower interest crediting rate than would otherwise be the case. If the adjustment from fair value to contract value is negative, this indicates that the wrapper contract value is less than the market value of the underlying investments. The amortization of the embedded market value gains will cause the future interest crediting rate to be higher than it otherwise would have been.

All wrapper contracts provide for a minimum interest crediting rate of zero percent. In the event that the interest crediting rate should fall to zero and the requirements of the wrapper contract are satisfied, the wrapper issuers will pay to the Plans the shortfall needed to maintain the interest crediting rate at zero. This helps to ensure that participants’ principal and accrued interest will be protected.

 

In certain circumstances, the amount withdrawn from the wrapper contract would be payable at fair value rather than at contract value. These events include termination of the Plans, a material adverse change to the provisions of the Plans, if the employer elects to withdraw from a wrapper contract in order to switch to a different investment provider, or if the terms of a successor plan (in the event of the spin-off or sale of a division) do not meet the wrapper contract issuer’s underwriting criteria for issuance of a clone wrapper contract. These events described herein that could result in the payment of benefits at market value rather than contract value are not probable of occurring in the foreseeable future.

 

Examples of events that would permit a wrapper contract issuer to terminate a wrapper contract upon short notice include the Plans’ loss of their qualified status, uncured material breaches of responsibilities, or material and adverse changes to the provisions of the Plans. If one of these events was to occur, the wrapper contract issuer could terminate the wrapper contract at the market value of the underlying investments (or in the case of a traditional GIC, at the hypothetical market value based upon a contractual formula).

Synthetic investment contracts generally impose conditions on both the Plan and the issuer. If an event of default occurs and is not cured, the non-defaulting party may terminate the contract. The following may cause the Plan to be in default:  a breach of material obligation under the contract; a material misrepresentation; or a material amendment to the Plan agreement. The issuer may be in default if it breaches a material obligation under the investment contract; makes a material misrepresentation; is acquired or reorganized. If, in the event of default of an issuer, the Plan were unable to obtain a replacement the Plan could seek to add additional issuers over time to diversify the Plan’s exposure to such risk, but there is no assurance the Plan may be able to do so. The combination of the default of an issuer and an inability to obtain a replacement agreement could render the Plan unable to achieve its objective of maintaining a stable contract value. The terms of an investment contract generally provide for settlement of payments only upon termination of the contract or total liquidation of the covered investments. Generally, payments will be made pro-rata, based on the percentage of investments covered by each issuer. Contract termination occurs whenever the contract value or market value of the covered investments reaches zero or upon certain events of default. If the contract terminates due to issuer default, the issuer will generally be required to pay to the Plan the excess, if any, of contract value over market value on the date of termination. If the contract terminates when the market value equals zero, the issuer will pay the excess of contract value over market value to the Plan to the extent necessary for the Plan to satisfy outstanding contract value withdrawal requests. Contract termination also may occur by either party upon election and notice.

 

The contracts’ aggregate fair values were approximately $12,900,000 and $10,400,000 higher than the reported contract values at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

 

The Master Trust contains multiple common/collective trusts which invest in a variety of investments and each has its own investment strategy as follows:

Vanguard Target Retirement Trusts

 

The Vanguard Target Retirement Trusts use an asset allocation glide path to offer an appropriate level of exposure to risk and return as investors progress along the path to retirement.  The year in the trust name refers to the approximate year (the target date) when an investor in the fund would retire and leave the workforce.  The fund will gradually shift its emphasis from more aggressive investments to more conservative ones based on its target date.  The trusts use a simple fund of funds structure which seeks to build appropriate asset allocation from preselected stock, bond, and money market portfolios.  All of the assets are invested in index funds.

 

NT Collective S&P 500 Index Fund – Lending

 

The primary objective of this fund is to approximate the risk and return characterized by the S&P 500 Index. This index is commonly used to represent the large cap segment of the U.S. equity market. To achieve its objective, the fund employs a replication technique, which generally seeks to hold each index constituent in its proportional index weight. The fund may make limited use of futures and/or options for the purpose of maintaining equity exposure. This fund may participate in securities lending.

NT Collective Aggregate Bond Index Fund – Lending

 

The primary objective of this fund is to provide investment results that approximate the overall performance of the Barclay’s Capital Aggregate Bond Index. The fund may hold units of participation in any fixed income collective fund established and maintained by Northern Trust or any of its affiliates. The fund may make limited use of interest rate futures and/or options for the purpose of maintaining market exposure. This fund may participate in securities lending.

 

NT Collective All Country World Ex-US Index Fund – Lending

 

The primary objective of this fund is to approximate the risk and return characterized by the MSCI All Country World ex-US Index. This index is commonly used to represent the global non-U.S. equity markets. To achieve its objective, the fund employs a replication technique, which generally seeks to hold each index constituent in its proportional index weight. The fund may make limited use of futures and/or options for the purpose of maintaining equity exposure. This fund participates in securities lending.

 

Artisan International Growth Trust

 

The investment objective of this fund is to seek long-term capital growth. The fund will attempt to meet this objective by investing mainly in publicly traded corporate equities (including common and preferred stocks, warrants and depositary receipts) of non-U.S. companies across a broad capitalization range.

 

There are no redemption restrictions on any of these common/collective trusts.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2012 AND 2011

 

 

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan and recognize a tax liability if the Plan has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by various federal and state taxing authorities.  Management has concluded that as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability or disclosure in the accompanying financial statements. 

 

The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions.  However, as of the date the financial statements were available to be issued, there were no audits for any tax periods in progress.  Management believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2010. 

 

 

6.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

Certain Master Trust investments are shares of mutual funds managed by State Street Corporation and shares of Cummins Inc. State Street Corporation is the Master Trust trustee. Cummins Inc. is the Plan Sponsor. Hewitt Associates, LLC serves as the Plans’ third party administrator. Blue & Co., LLC serves as the Plan’s auditor. JPMorgan Asset Management serves as the Plan’s investment manager of the Stable Value fund. Transactions with these parties qualify as party-in-interest transactions.

8.   FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

The framework for measuring fair value provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3).

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described as follows:

 

The asset or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques maximize the use of relevant observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

The Plan’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels as of the end of the reporting period.  There were no significant transfers between Levels 1 and 2 during 2012 or 2011.

 

Based on ongoing guidance issued relative to fair value disclosures, a continuing review of the inputs to valuation and consideration of related additional information, the Plan has modified its classification of certain investments related to its Stable Value fund from Level 3 to Level 2 during the year ended December 31, 2012.
