The accompanying notes are an integral part of the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Cummins Inc. (“Cummins,” “the Company,” “Registrant,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) is a global power leader that designs, manufactures, distributes and services diesel and natural gas engines, electric power generation systems and engine-related products, including filtration and emissions solutions, fuel systems, controls and air handling systems.

The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the three and six month interim periods ended July 2, 2006 and June 26, 2005. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted as permitted by such rules and regulations. The interim periods for 2006 contain 13 and 26 weeks, respectively, while the interim periods for 2005 contain 13 and 25 weeks, respectively. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the presentation of the current period condensed financial statements.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Significant estimates and assumptions in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements require the exercise of judgment and are used for, but not limited to, allowance for doubtful accounts, estimates of future cash flows and other assumptions associated with goodwill and long-lived asset impairment tests, useful lives for depreciation and amortization, warranty programs, determination of discount and other rate assumptions for pension and other postretirement benefit expenses, income taxes and deferred tax valuation allowances and contingencies. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may be different from these estimates.

You should read these interim condensed financial statements in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. Our interim period financial results for the three and six month interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year. The year end condensed balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP.

Our shipping and handling costs are expensed as incurred. Those shipping and handling costs associated with operations of our inventory distribution centers and warehouse facilities are classified as "Selling and administrative expenses" in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. For the three months ended July 2, 2006 and June 26, 2005, these costs were approximately $26 million and $28 million, respectively. For the six months ended July 2, 2006 and June 26, 2005, these costs were approximately $59 million and $55 million, respectively.

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123 (Revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment.” This standard requires financial statement recognition of compensation cost related to share-based payment transactions. Share-based payment transactions within the scope of SFAS No. 123R include stock options, restricted stock plans, performance-based awards, stock appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. We implemented the revised standard in the first quarter of 2006. Prior to January 1, 2006, we accounted for stock-based employee awards issued after December 31, 2002, using the fair value method preferred by SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” SFAS No. 123R requires the Company to estimate forfeitures in calculating the expense relating to stock-based compensation as opposed to recognizing these forfeitures and the corresponding reduction in expense as they occur. SFAS No. 123R also requires prospective presentation of the “Tax benefit on share-based awards” as a financing activity rather than an operating activity in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. See Note 13 for the impact that the adoption of this standard had on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

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

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

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

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109,” which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for recording in the financial statements, uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. In addition, FIN 48 provides guidance on the derecognition, classification, accounting in interim periods and disclosure requirements for uncertain tax positions. The Company will adopt FIN 48 effective January 1, 2007. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, that FIN 48 will have on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Investee equity, royalty and other income included in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings for the interim reporting periods was as follows:

Our tax rates are generally less than the 35 percent U.S. income tax rate primarily because of lower taxes on foreign earnings, export tax benefits and (for 2005) research tax credits. The U.S. tax research credit expired on December 31, 2005 and has not yet been renewed.

Our income tax provision for the three months ended July 2, 2006, was reduced by $28 million, or $0.55 per share, due to the favorable resolution of tax uncertainties related to prior years. In addition, our provision for the six months ended July 2, 2006, was also impacted by a $12 million, or $0.23 per share, increase in the first quarter for the effect of new Indiana tax legislation. As a result, our effective tax rate for the three and six months ended July 2, 2006, was 22 percent and 29 percent, respectively. Our 2005 provision was reduced by $10 million ($6 million in the first quarter and $4 million in the second quarter) for the tax benefits of foreign dividend distributions which qualified for a special 85-percent deduction under The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004. As a result, our effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 26, 2005, was 28 percent and 27 percent, respectively.

The changes in the carrying amounts of goodwill for the six months ended July 2, 2006, were as follows:

The components of other intangible assets with finite lives subject to amortization were as follows:

On May 8, 2006, the Board of Directors approved the Company's plan to redeem all of the 7% convertible quarterly income preferred securities that were issued in June 2001. On May 9, 2006, we gave the trustee our formal irrevocable notification of our intent to redeem the preferred securities. This notification provided the holders of the preferred securities 30 days in which to convert their securities into shares of common stock. Upon expiration of the notification period, all remaining securities not converted were redeemed for cash at a premium above liquidation value. Substantially all of the $300 million of 7% convertible subordinated debentures outstanding were converted into shares of our common stock during the second quarter of 2006. As a result of the conversion, approximately 6.3 million shares of common stock were issued during the second quarter which resulted in an increase of approximately $16 million to common stock outstanding and an increase of approximately $276 million to additional contributed capital. Since substantially all holders converted their preferred securities to common stock, the loss on extinguishment of this debt to equity was insignificant. See Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2005 Annual Report to Shareholders on Form 10-K for more information regarding the preferred securities and debentures.

The components of net periodic pension and other postretirement benefit expense under our plans consisted of the following:

For the three and six months ended July 2, 2006, we contributed approximately $42 million and $83 million, respectively, to our pension plans and paid approximately $23 million and $31 million, respectively, of postretirement benefits. For the three and six months ended June 26, 2005, we contributed approximately $44 million and $55 million, respectively, to our pension plans and paid approximately $16 million and $25 million, respectively, of postretirement benefits. We presently anticipate contributing approximately $147 million to $157 million to our pension plans and paying approximately $32 million in claims and premiums for postretirement benefits during the remainder of 2006. These contributions and payments include payments from Company funds to either increase pension plan assets or to make direct payments to plan participants. As a result, $267 million of pension liability was included in “other accrued expenses” on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at July 2, 2006.

The Company incurred expenses of $5 million each period for the three months ended July 2, 2006 and June 26, 2005 relating to our defined contribution plans. The Company incurred expenses of $18 million and $17 million for the six months ended July 2, 2006 and June 26, 2005, respectively, relating to our defined contribution plans.

A summary of the activity in our current and long-term warranty liability accounts, as well as our deferred revenue accounts, for the six month interim periods follows:

The amount of deferred revenue related to extended coverage programs at July 2, 2006, was $150 million.

At July 2, 2006, we had $25 million of receivables related to estimated supplier recoveries of which $17 million was included in “Receivables, net” and $8 million was included in “Other assets” on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

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. We also establish reserves for matters in which losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. 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 may 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.

Since 1997 we have had an operating agreement with a financial institution that requires us to guarantee revolving loans, equipment term loans and leases, real property loans and letters of credit made by the financial institution to certain independent Cummins and Onan distributors in the United States, and to certain distributors in which we own an equity interest. The agreement has been amended, supplemented or otherwise modified several times since 1997 and in the first quarter of 2006, we amended, restated and simplified the terms of the operating agreement and removed the Cummins guarantee of distributor borrowings.

If any distributor defaults under its financing arrangement with the financial institution, and the maturity of amounts owed under the agreement is accelerated, then we are required to purchase from the financial institution at amounts approximating fair market value certain property, inventory and rental generator sets manufactured by Cummins that are secured by the distributor's financing agreement.

The operating agreement will continue in effect until February 7, 2007 and may be renewed for additional one-year terms.

We have various residual value guarantees on equipment leased under operating leases. The total amount of these residual value guarantees at July 2, 2006, was $9 million.

In addition to the guarantees discussed above, from time to time we enter into other guarantee arrangements, including guarantees of non-U.S. distributor financing and other miscellaneous guarantees of third party obligations. The maximum potential loss related to these other guarantees was $22 million at July 2, 2006.

We have arrangements with certain suppliers that require us to purchase minimum volumes or be subject to monetary penalties. The penalty amounts are less than our purchase commitments and essentially allow the supplier to recover their tooling costs. At July 2, 2006, if we were to stop purchasing from each of these suppliers, the amount of the penalty would be approximately $20 million. However, based on current forecasts, we do not anticipate paying any penalties under these contracts.

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

* asset sale agreements where we agree to indemnify the purchaser against future environmental exposures related to the asset sold, and

* any contractual agreement where we agree to indemnify the counter‑party for losses suffered as a result of a misrepresentation in the contract.

We regularly evaluate the probability of having to incur costs associated with these indemnifications and accrue for expected losses that are probable. Because the indemnifications are not related to specified known liabilities and due to their uncertain nature, we are unable to estimate the maximum amount of the potential loss associated with these indemnifications.

As of July 2, 2006, we have committed to invest $11 million into two joint ventures that were formed during 2005.

We calculate basic earnings per share (EPS) of common stock by dividing net earnings by the weighted-average daily number of common shares outstanding for the period. The calculation of diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that occurs if share based awards or debt 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 our Retirement Savings Plan in the Employee Benefits Trust from the calculation of the weighted-average common shares outstanding until those shares are distributed from the trust. The following is a reconciliation of net earnings and weighted-average common shares outstanding for purposes of calculating basic and diluted net earnings per share:

In September 2003, our shareholders approved the 2003 Stock Incentive Plan (The Plan). The Plan allows for the granting of up to 2.5 million stock-based awards to executives and employees, of which one-half must be in the form of stock options. Awards available for grant under the plan include, but are not limited to, stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance shares, restricted stock and other stock awards. Stock options are generally granted with a strike price equal to the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant, a life of 10 years and a two-year vesting period.

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

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

Prior to January 1, 2006, we accounted for stock-based employee awards granted on or after January 1, 2003, utilizing the fair value method preferred by SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” For awards granted prior to January 1, 2003, we applied the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 123. In accordance with SFAS No. 123, we applied APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and related interpretations in accounting for our plans prior to January 1, 2003 and accordingly, did not recognize compensation expense for these plans because we granted options at exercise prices equal to the market value of our stock on the grant date.

Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment,” which revised SFAS No. 123 and supercedes APB No. 25. We adopted this statement using the modified prospective transition method which does not require the restatement of prior periods. SFAS No. 123R requires the recognition of expense for share-based payments to be recorded in the consolidated financial statements based on the grant date fair value and to be recognized over their vesting periods. Under SFAS No. 123R, the Company is required to select a valuation technique or option-pricing model that meets the requirements of the standard. Allowable valuation models include a binomial model and the Black-Scholes model. At the present time, the Company is continuing to use the Black-Scholes model. Since we had previously accounted for our awards at fair value under SFAS No. 123, the impact of adopting SFAS No. 123R was not material to our consolidated financial statements. The two most significant changes related to accounting for forfeitures and accounting for tax benefits of awards. SFAS No. 123R requires the Company to estimate forfeitures in calculating the expense relating to share-based compensation as opposed to recognizing these forfeitures and the corresponding reduction in expense as they occur. The cumulative adjustment recorded by the Company upon the adoption of SFAS No. 123R for the estimated forfeitures on grants outstanding on the date of adoption was not material. Excess tax benefits related to share-based compensation are now classified as a financing activity in the statement of cash flows rather than an operating activity. For the six months ended July 2, 2006, we had $6 million of excess tax benefits related to share-based compensation presented in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows as a financing activity.

Compensation expense (net of forfeitures) related to our share-based plans for the three and six months ended July 2, 2006, was approximately $4 million and $7 million, respectively. Compensation expense (net of forfeitures) related to our share-based plans for the three and six months ended June 26, 2005, was approximately $4 million and $7 million, respectively. The excess tax benefit associated with option exercises and share vesting during the three and six months ended July 2, 2006, was approximately $1 million and $6 million, respectively. The excess tax benefit associated with option exercises and share vesting during the three and six months ended June 26, 2005, was approximately $1 million and $2 million, respectively. The total unrecognized compensation expense (net of expected forfeitures) related to nonvested awards was approximately $36 million at July 2, 2006 and was expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.6 years.

The weighted-average grant date fair value of options granted by the Company during the three and six months ended July 2, 2006, was $105.74 and $105.24, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the three and six months ended July 2, 2006, was approximately $4 million and $11 million, respectively. The weighted-average grant date fair value of options granted by the Company during the three and six months ended June 26, 2005, was $68.22 and $69.89, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the three and six months ended June 26, 2005, was approximately $5 million and $12 million, respectively.

The weighted-average grant date fair value of performance and restricted shares at July 2, 2006 and during the first six months of 2006 is as follows:

The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

Expected life – The expected life of employee stock options represents the weighted-average period the stock options are expected to remain outstanding based upon our historical data.

Risk-free interest rate – The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon the observed U.S. treasury security rate appropriate for the expected life of the Company’s employee stock options.

Expected volatility – The expected volatility assumption is based upon the weighted-average historical daily price changes of the Company’s common stock over the most recent period equal to the expected option life of the grant, adjusted for activity which is not expected to occur in the future.

Dividend yield – The dividend yield assumption is based on the Company’s history and expectation of dividend payouts.

The table below summarizes stock option information for options outstanding, all of which are currently exercisable at July 2, 2006:

Our reportable operating segments consist of the following: Engine, Power Generation, Components and Distribution. This reporting structure is organized according to the products and markets each segment serves. We use segment EBIT (defined as earnings before interest expense, income taxes and minority interests) as the primary basis for the chief operating decision-maker to evaluate the performance of each operating segment.

A summary of operating results by segment for the three and six month periods is shown below:

A reconciliation of our segment information to the corresponding amounts in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements is shown in the table below:

Certain prior year amounts included in this section have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

The following Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the “Financial Statements” section of our 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K. All references to earnings per share amounts are diluted per share amounts. Our discussion contains forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including those set forth under “RISK FACTORS RELATING TO OUR BUSINESS” included in Part I of our 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K and “Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” presented at the end of this section. This overview summarizes the MD&A which includes the following sections:

* Executive Summary and Financial Highlights – a brief discussion providing an overview of our Company, highlighting the significant events affecting our Company and a summary of our Company’s financial performance.

* Results of Operations – an analysis of our consolidated results of operations for the periods presented in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

* Operating Segment Results – an analysis of the performance of each of our reportable operating segments for the periods presented in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

* Liquidity and Capital Resources – an analysis of cash flows, sources and uses of cash, off balance sheet arrangements and contractual obligations.

* Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements – cautionary information about forward-looking statements and a description of certain risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from our historical results or our current expectations or projections.

We are a global power leader that designs, manufactures, distributes and services diesel and natural gas engines, electric power generation systems and engine-related products, including filtration and aftertreatment devices, fuel systems, controls and air handling systems. We sell our products to Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), distributors and other customers worldwide. We have long-standing relationships with many of the leading manufacturers in the markets we serve, including DaimlerChrysler AG (DaimlerChrysler), Volvo AB, PACCAR Inc., International Truck and Engine Corporation (Navistar International Corporation), CNH Global N.V., Komatsu and Scania AB. We serve our customers through a network of more than 550 company-owned and independent distributor locations and approximately 5,000 dealer locations in more than 160 countries and territories.

Our financial performance depends, in large part, on varying conditions in the markets we serve, particularly the on-highway, construction and general industrial markets. Demand in these markets tends to fluctuate in response to overall economic conditions and is particularly sensitive to changes in interest rate levels and the price of crude oil (fuel costs). OEM inventory levels, production schedules and work stoppages also impact our sales. Economic downturns in the markets we serve generally result in reduced sales, which affect our profits and cash flow.

We maintain an internet website at www.cummins.com. Investors can obtain copies of our filings with the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) from this website free of charge, as well as from the SEC website at www.sec.gov.

We experienced another strong operating performance in the second quarter of 2006 with net earnings of $220 million, or $4.38 per diluted share, on net sales of $2.8 billion, compared to second quarter 2005 net earnings of $141 million, or $2.83 per diluted share, on net sales of $2.5 billion. Year-to-date 2006 net earnings were $355 million, or $7.08 per diluted share, on net sales of $5.5 billion, compared to year-to-date 2005 net earnings of $238 million, or $4.80 per diluted share, on net sales of $4.7 billion. Second quarter net earnings and sales were a record for Cummins as we continue to benefit from improved economic conditions resulting in high levels of demand across our businesses, as well as increased share in a number of markets and our focus on cost reduction. All of our segments reported sales increases in the second quarter and year to date compared to the same periods a year ago, with particularly strong demand in the North American heavy-duty truck market where engine sales increased 19 percent year to date and our market share increased slightly compared to the same period in 2005. Overall, our Engine segment net sales were up $570 million, or 18 percent, year to date. In addition, net sales increased at our Power Generation segment (up $214 million, or 23 percent), Components segment (up $134 million, or 14 percent) and Distribution segment (up $103 million, or 19 percent) on a year to date basis.

During the first six months of 2006, we continued our commitment to building a strong balance sheet, investing in profitable growth around the globe and returning value to our shareholders. Some of the transactions and events that highlight this are as follows:

* In January 2006, we signed a joint venture agreement with KAMAZ Inc., the largest vehicle manufacturer in Russia, to produce B Series engines under the name ZAO Cummins Kama. The joint venture will build on the Cummins and KAMAZ relationship that dates back to the early 1980s. Among the customers of the new company are KAMAZ trucks and buses, as well as trucks, buses and agricultural equipment produced by other manufacturers in Russia, Belarus and the Ukraine.

* In March 2006, we signed a feasibility study with Beiqi Foton Motor Company on the formation of a 50/50 joint venture company to produce two types of light-duty diesel engines for use primarily in the commercial market. Beijing Foton Cummins Engine Company will be based in Beijing and will produce engines based on Cummins designs. The feasibility study will outline the parameters of the partnership and is the final step before a joint venture agreement is signed. The joint venture is expected to begin operation in 2006, with production starting as early as 2008.

* Our level of debt at July 2, 2006, has decreased by $363 million since December 31, 2005 and our debt-to-capital ratio has improved to 28.6 percent at July 2, 2006, from 42.3 percent at December 31, 2005. As previously announced, we intend to repay our $250 million 9.5% notes in December 2006, the first call date for the debt. The notes were issued in 2002 and are expected to be repaid using cash generated from operations.

* On May 8, 2006, the Board of Directors approved the Company's plan to redeem all of the 7% convertible quarterly income preferred securities that were issued in June 2001. On May 9, 2006, we gave the trustee our formal irrevocable notification of our intent to redeem the preferred securities. As a result, substantially all of the related $300 million of 7% convertible subordinated debentures outstanding were converted into shares of our common stock.

* During the first six months of 2006, we made contributions of approximately $83 million to our pension plans.

* During the second quarter of 2006, we completed our previously announced share repurchase program. Share repurchases for the second quarter totaled $26 million, bringing our total repurchased since the announcement in September 2005 to $100 million. In July 2006, the Board of Directors gave authorization the Company to acquire up to two million shares of Cummins common stock in addition to what has been acquired under previous authorizations. In addition, the Board also voted to increase the quarterly cash dividend per share by 20 percent to $0.36 per share.

Net sales increased in all segments. Engine sales were up $229 million, or 14 percent, due to strong demand from heavy- and medium-duty truck OEMs, higher engine volumes for industrial applications and increased shipments of light-duty automotive engines. Engine and part sales to on-highway markets were 15 percent higher compared to last year with increased volumes in all market segments. Power Generation sales increased $105 million, or 21 percent, due to increased demand across all product lines. Components sales increased $52 million, or 10 percent, due to increased volume within all of our Components businesses. Distribution sales increased $39 million, or 13 percent, primarily due to increased demand for power generation products followed by increased parts and service volumes. See our “Operating Segment Results” section for further details on sales by segment.

Gross margin improved primarily due to increased sales, the related absorption benefits on fixed manufacturing costs, and changes in sales mix, all of which increased gross margin by $115 million. In addition, $18 million of price realization, net of increased product costs, improved gross margin in the current period compared to the same period in the prior year. These increases in margin were partially offset by increased warranty expenses of $14 million, primarily as a result of the increased volumes. Other factors which impacted gross margin to a lesser extent were the impact of currency exchange rates, material costs and other miscellaneous fluctuations.

Warranty expense as a percent of sales increased slightly to 2.9 percent in the second quarter of 2006 compared to 2.7 percent in the second quarter of 2005.

Selling and administrative expenses increased primarily due to higher compensation and related expenses of approximately $10 million, which included salaries, variable compensation and fringe benefits, as a result of improved financial performance of the company. Other factors affecting selling and administrative to a lesser extent included increased consulting fees and other outside services of $7 million, increased marketing and administrative expenses of $4 million and increased travel expenses of $5 million. The remaining change in selling and administrative expenses is due to a combination of increases in various other miscellaneous expenses, none of which were significant individually, partially offset by a favorable foreign currency impact. Overall selling and administrative expenses were 11.3 percent of sales in the second quarter of 2006 compared to 11.5 percent of sales in the second quarter of 2005.

Research and engineering expenses increased primarily due to increased compensation expense and consulting and outside services. We had significant research and engineering expenses across the Engine and Components segments related to new product development for 2007 and beyond as well as research and engineering expenses for growth platforms across geographies. The Engine and Components segments each had increases in research and development of $4 million. Fluctuations in other miscellaneous research and development expenses were not significant individually or in the aggregate.

Investee equity, royalty and other income decreased slightly primarily due to a decrease in earnings from Dongfeng Cummins Engine Company, Ltd. (DCEC) of approximately $6 million due to a continued disruption in demand in the automotive markets caused by changes in China’s regulatory environment regarding vehicle weight restrictions. In addition, royalty and other income from equity investees decreased by $3 million. The decrease in earnings from DCEC and royalty and other income was mostly offset by improved earnings from our North American distributors of $6 million and an increase in earnings from Tata Cummins Ltd. of $2 million.

The major components of other operating income are royalty income, amortization of intangible assets and loss on sale of fixed assets. The fluctuation from the second quarter of 2005 to the second quarter of 2006 was primarily due to a combination of a $2 million loss on the write-down of fixed assets and a decrease in royalty income. Other fluctuations in other operating income were not significant individually or in the aggregate.

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

Interest expense decreased due to lower debt balances in the second quarter of 2006 as compared to the same period in 2005.

The major components of other income include foreign currency exchange gains and losses, bank charges and other miscellaneous income and expenses. There were not any individual fluctuations in the components of miscellaneous income and expenses that were significant.

Our income tax provision for the three months ended July 2, 2006, was reduced by $28 million, or $0.55 per share, due to the favorable resolution of tax uncertainties related to prior years. As a result, our effective tax rate for the three months ended July 2, 2006, was 22 percent. Our 2005 provision was reduced by $4 million in the second quarter for the tax benefits of foreign dividend distributions which qualified for a special 85-percent deduction under The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004. As a result, our effective tax rate for the three months ended June 26, 2005, was 28 percent.

The effective tax rate for the remainder of the year is expected to approximate 32 percent absent any additional discrete period activity.

Minority interest is primarily attributable to Cummins Eastern Canada LLP, a 51 percent owned subsidiary and Cummins India Limited, a 51 percent owned subsidiary. These two subsidiaries account for nearly 60 percent of the total minority interest in the second quarter of 2006. Earnings at both of these subsidiaries increased in the second quarter of 2006 compared to the second quarter of 2005, resulting in an increase in minority interest expense. The remainder of the increase in minority interests was attributable to a combination of immaterial increases and decreases in earnings at the remaining consolidated subsidiaries.

Net sales increased in all segments. Engine sales were up $570 million, or 18 percent, due to strong demand from heavy- and medium-duty truck OEMs, higher engine volumes for industrial applications and increased shipments of light-duty engines. Engine and part sales to on-highway markets were 19 percent higher compared to last year with increased volumes in all market segments. Power Generation sales increased $214 million, or 23 percent, due to increased demand across all product lines. Components sales increased $134 million, or 14 percent, due to increased volume within all of our Components businesses led by our filtration business. Distribution sales increased $103 million, or 19 percent, primarily due to increased demand for power generation products followed by increased parts, engine and service volumes. See our “Operating Segment Results” section for further details on sales by segment.

Gross margin improved primarily due to increased sales, the related absorption benefits on fixed manufacturing costs, and changes in sales mix, all of which increased gross margin by $255 million. In addition, $41 million in price realization, net of increased product costs, improved gross margin in the current period compared to the same period in the prior year. These increases in margin were partially offset by increased warranty expenses of $37 million, primarily as a result of the increased volumes. Other factors which impacted gross margin to a lesser extent were the impact of currency exchange rates and other miscellaneous fluctuations.

Warranty expense as a percent of sales increased slightly to 3.0 percent in the first six months of 2006 compared to 2.7 percent in the first six months of 2005.

Selling and administrative expenses increased primarily due to higher compensation and related expenses of approximately $27 million, which included salaries, variable compensation and fringe benefits, as a result of improved financial performance of the company. In addition, incremental staffing added to the increased compensation and related expenses. Shipping and handling costs increased by approximately $4 million due to increased sales volumes. Other factors affecting selling and administrative to a lesser extent included increased consulting fees and other outside services of $16 million, increased marketing and administrative expenses of $10 million and increased travel expenses of $10 million. The remaining change in selling and administrative expenses is due to a combination of increases in various other miscellaneous expenses, none of which were significant individually, partially offset by a favorable foreign currency impact. Overall selling and administrative expenses were 11.3 percent of sales in the first six months of 2006 compared to 11.6 percent of sales in the first six months of 2005.

Research and engineering expenses increased primarily due to increased compensation expense and consulting and outside services, as well as higher spending on development programs for future products. We had significant research and engineering expenses across the Engine and Components segments related to new product development for 2007 and beyond as well as research and engineering expenses for growth platforms across geographies. The Engine segment accounted for $14 million of the increase in research and engineering expenses along with an increase in the Components segment of $10 million. Fluctuations in other miscellaneous research and development expenses were not significant individually or in the aggregate.

Investee equity, royalty and other income decreased slightly primarily due to a decrease in earnings from Dongfeng Cummins Engine Company, Ltd. (DCEC) of approximately $16 million due to a continued disruption in demand in the automotive markets caused by changes in China’s regulatory environment regarding vehicle weight restrictions. The decrease in earnings from DCEC was partially offset by improved earnings from our North American distributors of $9 million and improved earnings from Tata Cummins Ltd. of $4 million.

The major components of other operating income are royalty income, amortization of intangible assets and loss on sale of fixed assets. The fluctuation from the first six months of 2005 to the first six months of 2006 was primarily due to a decrease in royalty income. Other fluctuations in other operating income were not significant individually or in the aggregate.

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

Interest expense decreased slightly due to lower debt balances in the first six months of 2006 as compared to the same period in 2005.

The major components of other income include foreign currency exchange gains and losses, bank charges and other miscellaneous income and expenses. The fluctuation in other income in the first six months of 2006 compared to the first six months of 2005 is due to a decrease in foreign currency exchange losses of approximately $6 million and fluctuations in the components of miscellaneous income and expenses, none of which were individually significant.

Our income tax provision for the six months ended July 2, 2006, was reduced by $28 million, or $0.55 per share, due to the favorable resolution of tax uncertainties related to prior years. In addition, our provision for the six months ended July 2, 2006, was also impacted by a $12 million, or $0.23 per share, increase in the first quarter for the effect of new Indiana tax legislation. As a result, our effective tax rate for the six months ended July 2, 2006, was 29 percent. Our 2005 provision was reduced by $10 million ($6 million in the first quarter and $4 million in the second quarter) for the tax benefits of foreign dividend distributions which qualified for a special 85-percent deduction under The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004. As a result, our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 26, 2005, was 27 percent.

The effective tax rate for the remainder of the year is expected to approximate 32 percent absent any additional discrete period activity.

Minority interest is primarily attributable to Cummins Eastern Canada LLP, a 51 percent owned-subsidiary and Cummins India Limited, a 51 percent owned-subsidiary. These two subsidiaries account for nearly 60 percent of the total minority interest in the first six months of 2006. Earnings at both of these subsidiaries increased in the first six months of 2006 compared to the first six months of 2005, resulting in an increase in minority interest expense. The remainder of the increase in minority interests was attributable to a combination of immaterial increases and decreases in earnings at the remaining consolidated subsidiaries.

Our reportable operating segments consist of the following: Engine, Power Generation, Components, and Distribution. This reporting structure is organized according to the products and markets each segment serves. We use segment EBIT (defined as earnings before interest expense, income taxes and minority interests) as the primary basis for the chief operating decision-maker to evaluate the performance of each operating segment.

Following is a discussion of operating results for each of our business segments.

The increase in net sales for this segment was primarily due to strong demand across most markets, particularly the light-duty automotive market with strong engine volumes to DaimlerChrysler and the North American heavy-duty truck market along with strong industrial market volumes. Total on-highway-related sales were 64 percent of Engine segment net sales during the second quarter of 2006, compared with 63 percent during the second quarter of 2005.

The improvement in segment EBIT was primarily due to the higher engine volumes across most major markets, the accompanying gross margin benefits of higher absorption of fixed manufacturing costs and a slight improvement in pricing. Gross margin increased $51 million, or 16 percent, quarter over quarter. Selling and administrative expenses increased $13 million, or 10 percent, quarter over quarter, however selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased slightly. Research and engineering expenses increased $4 million, or 7 percent, compared to the same quarter last year and decreased slightly as a percentage of net sales compared to the prior period.

In addition, earnings from joint ventures decreased compared with the second quarter of 2005, primarily due to a $6 million decrease in earnings at DCEC due to a continued disruption in demand in the automotive markets caused by changes in China's regulatory environment regarding vehicle weight restrictions.

A summary of unit shipments by engine classification (including unit shipments to Power Generation) follows:

The increase in sales to the heavy-duty truck market was primarily driven by the North American truck market as OEMs work to meet growing demand from truck fleets adding capacity to meet the increase in freight tonnage and replacing trucks ahead of the 2007 change in emissions standards. Global unit shipments of heavy-duty truck engines were up 14 percent in the second quarter of 2006, compared to the second quarter of 2005, with North American shipments up 14 percent and international shipments up 19 percent.

The increase in medium-duty truck and bus revenues is due to our growing position with North American OEMs in the medium duty truck market and increased shipments of bus engines in North America and internationally. Shipments of medium-duty truck engines were up 19 percent to North American OEMs and down 16 percent to international OEMs compared with the second quarter of 2005. The increase in medium-duty truck engine shipments in North America is due to an overall increase in demand and growing penetration at key OEMs. The decrease in shipments to international OEMs is primarily due to changes in emissions standards in Brazil to Euro III effective January 1, 2006. Sales of bus engines and parts increased in the second quarter of 2006 compared to the second quarter of 2005 due to strong demand from North American OEMs with shipments up 48 percent while international shipments were up slightly at 2 percent. The increase in the North American transit bus market is being driven by our increased market share.

Sales of light-duty automotive engines increased as a result of higher volumes. Total light-duty automotive unit shipments were approximately 49,700 in the second quarter of 2006, an increase of 23 percent compared to the same period in 2005. Most of the increase in light-duty automotive sales was driven by continued demand from DaimlerChrysler with increased shipments of approximately 7,700 units, or a 21 percent increase compared to the second quarter of 2005. Global engine shipments to recreational vehicle OEMs increased by 41 percent in the second quarter of 2006 compared with the same period in 2005 due to new product introductions and growing penetration at key OEMs.

Total sales were up in all industrial markets, except for rail, primarily due to strong demand in those markets. Unit shipments increased 23 percent in the second quarter of 2006 compared to the same period in 2005. Approximately 53 percent of the shipments were to North American markets and 47 percent to international markets in the second quarter compared to 56 percent and 44 percent, respectively, for the same period in 2005. The overall change in the geographic sales mix is due to the continued strength of the international construction market which is being driven by strong demand in China. Shipments to the construction market increased 23 percent in total and increased 35 percent internationally. The other market showing a significant increase was the oil and gas market with a 54 percent increase in shipments. The shipments to the oil and gas market have increased as sustained oil and natural gas prices continue to drive activity and investments in new equipment. Other industrial markets had modest increases in shipments compared to the same period in 2005.

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

The increase in net sales for this segment was primarily due to strong demand across most markets, particularly the light-duty automotive market with strong engine sales to DaimlerChrysler and the North American heavy-duty truck market along with strong industrial market sales. Total on-highway-related sales were 63 percent of Engine segment net sales during the first six months of 2006 and 2005.

The improvement in segment EBIT was primarily due to the higher engine volumes across most major markets, the accompanying gross margin benefits of higher absorption of fixed manufacturing costs, pricing, and efficiencies, all of which resulted in a one percentage point improvement in gross margin percentage in the first six months of 2006 compared to the same period last year. Gross margin increased $144 million, or 25 percent, for the first six months of 2006 compared to the same period last year. Selling and administrative expenses increased $34 million, or 13 percent, however selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased slightly. Research and engineering expenses increased $14 million, or 14 percent, compared to the first six months of 2005 and decreased slightly as a percentage of net sales compared to the prior period.

In addition, earnings from joint ventures decreased compared with the first six months of 2005, primarily due to a $16 million decrease in earnings at DCEC due to a continued disruption in demand in the automotive markets caused by changes in China’s regulatory environment regarding vehicle weight restrictions.

A summary of unit shipments by engine classification (including unit shipments to Power Generation) follows:

The increase in sales to the heavy-duty truck market was primarily driven by the North American truck market as OEMs work to meet growing demand from truck fleets adding capacity to meet the increase in freight tonnage and replacing trucks ahead of the 2007 change in emissions standards. Global unit shipments of heavy-duty truck engines were up 18 percent in the first six months of 2006, compared to the first six months of 2005, with North American shipments up 19 percent and international shipments up 12 percent.

The increase in medium-duty truck and bus revenues is due to strong demand, our growing position with North American OEMs in the medium duty truck market and increased shipments of bus engines in North America and internationally. Shipments of medium-duty truck engines were up 21 percent to North American OEMs and down 15 percent to international OEMs compared with the first six months of 2005. The increase in medium-duty truck engine shipments in North America is due to our increased penetration in this market and an overall increase in demand. The decrease in shipments to international OEMs is due to changes in emissions standards in Brazil to Euro III effective January 1, 2006. Sales of bus engines and parts increased in the first six months of 2006 compared to the first six months of 2005 due to strong demand from North American OEMs with shipments up 48 percent while international shipments were up 15 percent.

Sales of light-duty automotive engines increased as a result of higher volumes. Total light-duty automotive unit shipments were approximately 99,100 in the first six months of 2006, an increase of 29 percent compared to the same period in 2005. Most of the increase in light-duty automotive sales was driven by continued demand from DaimlerChrysler with increased shipments of approximately 20,400 units, or a 29 percent increase compared to the first six months of 2005. Engine shipments to recreational vehicle OEMs increased by over 17 percent in the first six months of 2006 compared with the same period in 2005due to new product introductions and growing penetration at key OEMs.

Total sales were up in all industrial markets, except for rail, primarily due to strong demand in those markets. Unit shipments increased 26 percent in the first six months of 2006 compared to the same period in 2005. Approximately 53 percent of the shipments were to North American markets and 47 percent to international markets in the first six months compared to 58 percent and 42 percent, respectively, for the same period in 2005. The overall change in the geographic sales mix is due to the continued strength of the international construction market which is being driven by strong demand in China. Total shipments to the construction market increased 26 percent largely because international shipments increased 45 percent. Other markets showing significant increases in shipments were the mining market and the oil and gas market with increases of 8 percent and 62 percent, respectively. The mining market demand is up as the strength in commodity prices is driving investment in mining capacity. The sales to the oil and gas market have increased as sustained oil and natural gas prices continue to drive activity and investments in new equipment. Other industrial markets had modest increases in shipments compared to the same period in 2005.

The net sales, investee income and segment EBIT for Power Generation were as follows:

The increase in net sales in this segment was primarily due to increased volumes as a result of strong demand in the commercial generator set and alternator lines of business. Our commercial and alternator businesses are up in all markets, except China. We also saw increases in our consumer market due to strong demand in the towable recreational vehicle and marine markets. Our power electronics and rental markets also saw increases, but at a more modest pace.

The improvement in segment EBIT was largely attributable to strong commercial generator set sales across geographic markets as well as improved mix and price realization. While material costs have risen period over period, we have been able to more than absorb these costs through improved pricing. Gross margin improved $34 million, or 43 percent, in the second quarter over the same period in 2005. Gross margin percentage improved almost three percentage points compared to the same period in 2005. Selling and administrative expenses increased $8 million, or 17 percent, over the second quarter of 2005, however selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales improved slightly in the second quarter of 2006, compared to the same period in 2005. Research and engineering expenses increased $1 million, or 20 percent during the second quarter, compared to 2005 and research and engineering expenses as a percentage of net sales remained relatively consistent compared to the same period in 2005.

A summary of engine shipments used in power generation equipment by engine category follows:

The increase in net sales in this segment was primarily due to increased volumes as a result of strong demand in the commercial generator set and alternator lines of business. Our commercial business is up in nearly all markets, and our alternator business is up in all markets as well. We also saw increases in our consumer market due to strong demand in the towable recreational vehicle and marine markets. Our power electronics, energy solutions, and rental markets also saw increases, but at a more modest pace. In addition, pricing actions from last year contributed to the increase in net sales.

The improvement in segment EBIT was largely attributable to strong commercial generator set sales across geographic markets as well as improved mix and price realization. While material costs have increased period over period, we have been able to more than absorb these costs through improved pricing Gross margin improved $66 million, or 46 percent, in the first six months of 2006 over the same period in 2005. Gross margin percentage improved nearly three percentage points compared to the same period in 2005. Selling and administrative expenses increased $15 million, or 16 percent, over the first six months of 2005, however selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales improved by over one half of a percentage point in the first six months of 2006, compared to the same period in 2005. Research and engineering expenses increased $3 million, or 30 percent during the first six months, compared to 2005 and research and engineering expenses as a percentage of net sales remained relatively consistent compared to the same period in 2005.

A summary of engine shipments used in power generation equipment by engine category follows:

Our Components segment includes the following businesses: fuel systems, filtration, aftertreatment devices and turbochargers. Components net sales increased across all businesses and all geographic markets, but were primarily driven by strong demand in North America and Latin America for our filtration products with increases in both aftermarket volume and OEM volume. Sales of our turbochargers increased due to increased European OEM sales.

Segment EBIT improved during the second quarter compared with the same period in 2005, primarily due to improved volume. In addition, EBIT as a percentage of net sales increased by nearly two percentage points. Gross margin increased $21 million, or 26 percent, in the second quarter compared to the same period in 2005, and gross margin percentage improved over two percentage points compared to the same period in 2005, primarily due to volume, pricing and mix. Selling and administrative expenses increased $5 million, or 10 percent, compared to the second quarter of 2005, and remained flat as a percentage of net sales. Research and engineering expenses increased due to an increased investment in the development of a number of new products and critical technologies that will be launched in 2007 and beyond. Research and engineering expenses increased $4 million, or 29 percent, compared to the second quarter of 2005 and increased by one half of a percentage point as a percentage of net sales.

Components net sales increased across all businesses and all geographic markets, but were primarily driven by strong demand in North America and Latin America for our filtration products with increases in both aftermarket volume and OEM volume. Sales of our turbochargers increased primarily due to increased OEM sales.

Segment EBIT improved during the first six months compared with same period in 2005, primarily due to improved volume. In addition, EBIT as a percentage of net sales increased by over one percentage point. Gross margin increased $40 million, or 25 percent, in the first six months compared to the same period in 2005, and gross margin percentage improved over one percentage point compared to the same period in 2005, primarily due to volume and pricing. Selling and administrative expenses increased $10 million, or 10 percent, compared to the first six months of 2005, but decreased slightly as a percentage of net sales. Research and engineering expenses increased due to an increased investment in the development of a number of new products and critical technologies that will be launched in 2007 and beyond. Research and engineering expenses increased $10 million, or 37 percent, compared to the first six months of 2005 and increased by over one half of a percentage point as a percentage of net sales.

The net sales, investee income and segment EBIT for Distribution were as follows:

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

Segment EBIT increased primarily due to higher gross margins resulting from greater sales of parts, service, and power generation equipment. Gross margin in the second quarter of 2006 improved $6 million, or 9 percent, over the same period in 2005, however gross margin percentage decreased by nearly one percentage point due to a shift in mix. The increase in gross margin was partially offset by higher selling and administrative expenses. Selling and administrative expenses increased $7 million, or 13 percent; however selling and administrative expenses remained flat as a percentage of net sales in the same period.

Also contributing to the increase in segment EBIT quarter-over-quarter was a $6 million increase in investee equity earnings. This is primarily attributable to a $6 million increase in earnings at our North American distributors.

The net sales, investee income and segment EBIT for Distribution were as follows:

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

Gross margin in the first six months of 2006 improved $23 million, or 18 percent, over the same period in 2005, and gross margin percentage decreased slightly. The increase in gross margin was partially offset by higher selling and administrative expenses. Selling and administrative expenses increased $16 million, or 16 percent; however selling and administrative expenses decreased one half of a percentage point as a percentage of net sales in the same period.

Also contributing to the increase in segment EBIT year-over-year was a $9 million increase in investee equity earnings. This is primarily attributable to a $9 million increase in earnings at our North American distributors.

Sales to international markets for the three and six months ended July 2, 2006, were 49 percent of total net sales, compared to 51 percent and 50 percent, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 26, 2005.

A summary of net sales (dollar amount and percentage of total) by geographic territory follows:

Cash provided by operations is the primary source of funding our working capital requirements. At certain times, cash provided by operations is subject to seasonal fluctuations, and as a result, we may use periodic borrowings, primarily our revolving credit facility and our accounts receivable sales program, to fund our working capital requirements. As of July 2, 2006, there were no amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility or our accounts receivable sales program.

Total debt as a percent of our total capital, including total debt, was 28.6 percent at July 2, 2006 compared with 42.3 percent at December 31, 2005.

We believe our liquidity with cash and cash equivalents of $878 million, marketable securities of $66 million, $539 million available under our revolving credit facility, $200 million available under our accounts receivable program and $126 million available under international credit facilities (see the table below under Available Credit Capacity) provides us with the financial flexibility needed to satisfy future short-term funding requirements for working capital, debt service obligations, capital expenditures, projected pension funding, dividend payments and expansion in emerging markets.

Current assets increased $505 million primarily due to increases in receivables, inventories and cash. Current liabilities rose $394 million due to increases in accounts payable, current pension liability and the current portion of long-term debt. As a result, working capital increased, however the current ratio declined as the 18 percent increase in current liabilities exceeded the 13 percent increase in current assets.

The following table summarizes the key elements of our cash flows for the six month periods:

Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities improved $200 million in the first six months of 2006 compared to the first six months of 2005, primarily due to $117 million of higher net earnings, a $20 million increase in the deferred tax provision and a $112 million decrease in working capital, partially offset by an increase in pension contributions of $28 million and a $21 million fluctuation in earnings of equity investees, net of dividends. Net changes in working capital utilized $234 million in cash during the first six months of 2006 compared to utilizing $346 million in the first six months of 2005, or a net decrease in cash utilized by working capital of $112 million period-over-period. Cash utilized for working capital tends to fluctuate from period to period based on various factors including, sales and production volumes as well as timing. The fluctuation in earnings of equity investees, net of dividends relates primarily to a $22 million decrease in dividend income received from these investees.

Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities increased $34 million in the first six months of 2006 compared to 2005. The increase was primarily due to an increase in capital expenditures of $31 million, which includes increased investments in internal use software of $7 million, and a $16 million decrease in net cash flows from investments in marketable securities, partially offset by an $11 million increase in proceeds from disposals of property, plant and equipment.

Capital expenditures, excluding investments in internal use software, in the first six months of 2006 were $102 million compared to $78 million in the first six months of 2005. Our 2006 capital spending program is currently expected to be approximately $250 million, primarily targeted at new product introduction and capacity expansion for future growth.

Financing Activities. Net cash used in financing activities was $146 million in the first six months of 2006 compared to $280 million in the first six months of 2005, or a net decrease in cash outflows of $134 million. The majority of the decrease in cash outflows is due to the March 1, 2005, repayment of the $225 million 6.45% notes, partially offset by $62 million in common stock repurchases in 2006.

We repurchased $26 million of common stock, representing approximately 236,000 shares, for the three months ended July 2, 2006. This completed an existing $100 million share repurchase program introduced in September 2005. In July 2006, the Board of Directors gave authorization the Company to acquire up to two million shares of Cummins common stock in addition to what has been acquired under previous authorizations.

In September 2005, we announced our intention to repay $250 million 9.5% notes in December 2006, the first call date for the debt. The notes were issued in November 2002 and are expected to be repaid using cash generated from operations.

Our $120 million 6.75% debentures may be repaid on February 15, 2007, at the election of the holders. Such election must be made between December 15, 2006 and January 15, 2007. At July 2, 2006, we have included these debentures in short-term borrowings in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

We presently anticipate contributing approximately $147 million to $157 million to our pension plans and paying approximately $32 million in claims and premiums for postretirement benefits during the remainder of 2006. These contributions and payments include payments from Company funds to either increase pension plan assets or to make direct payments to plan participants.

A number of our contractual obligations and financing agreements, such as our revolving credit facility and our equipment sale-leaseback agreements have restrictive covenants and/or pricing modifications that may be triggered in the event of downward revisions to our corporate credit rating. There have been no events in the first six months of 2006 to impede our compliance with these covenants.

Our current ratings and outlook from each of the credit rating agencies are shown in the table below.

In January 2004, we entered into a three-year facility agreement with a financial institution to sell a designated pool of trade receivables to Cummins Trade Receivables, LLC (CTR), a wholly-owned special purpose subsidiary. This facility replaced a similar program which expired in December 2003. As necessary, CTR may transfer a direct interest in its receivables, without recourse, to the financial institution. To maintain a balance in the designated pools of receivables sold, we sell new receivables to CTR as existing receivables are collected. Receivables sold to CTR in which an interest is not transferred to the financial institution are included in “Receivables, net” on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The maximum interest in sold receivables that can be outstanding at any point in time is limited to the lesser of $200 million or the amount of eligible receivables held by CTR. The terms of the agreement contain the same financial covenants as our revolving credit facility. There was no activity under this program in the first six months of 2006.

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

We 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-owned by Cummins, some partially-owned and the majority are independently owned. We consolidate all wholly-owned distributors and partially-owned distributors where we are the primary beneficiary and account for other partially-owned distributors using the equity method of accounting.

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. In addition, in certain cases where we own a partial interest in a distributor, we are obligated to purchase the other equity holders’ interests if certain events occur (such as the death of the distributor principal or a change in control of Cummins Inc.). The purchase price of the equity interests is determined based on the fair value of the distributor’s assets. Outside of North America, repurchase obligations and practices vary by region. All distributors that are partially-owned are considered to be related parties in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

A discussion of related party transactions may be found in the "Management's Discussion and Analysis" section of the Company's 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K under the caption “Financing Arrangements for Related Parties.”

A summary of our significant accounting policies is included in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements of our 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K which discusses accounting policies that we have selected from acceptable alternatives.

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

Critical accounting estimates are defined as follows: the estimates require management to make assumptions about matters that were highly uncertain at the time the estimates were made; different estimates reasonably could have been used; or if changes in the estimates are reasonably likely to occur from period to period and the change would have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. Our senior management has discussed the development and selection of our accounting policies, related accounting estimates and the disclosures set forth below with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. We believe our critical accounting estimates include those addressing the estimation of liabilities for warranty programs, accounting for income taxes, pension benefits and annual assessment of recoverability of goodwill. A discussion of these critical accounting estimates may be found in the "Management's Discussion and Analysis" section of our 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K under the caption “APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES.” Within the context of these critical accounting estimates, we are not currently aware of any reasonably likely events or circumstances that would result in different policies or estimates being reported in the first six months of 2006.

See Note 1 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of recently adopted accounting pronouncements and accounting pronouncements issued but not yet effective.

This quarterly report contains certain forward-looking statements that are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about the industries in which we operate and management's beliefs and assumptions. Forward-looking statements are generally accompanied by words, such as "anticipates," “expects,” “forecasts,” "intends," "plans," "believes," "seeks," "estimates" or similar expressions. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, which we refer to as "future factors," which are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. Future factors that could cause our results to differ materially from the results discussed in such forward-looking statements are discussed below. We undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Future factors that could affect the outcome of forward-looking statements include the following:

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

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

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

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

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

* other risk factors described in Part I of our 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K under the caption "RISK FACTORS RELATING TO OUR BUSINESS."

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

A discussion of quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk may be found in Item 7A of our 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no material changes in this information since the filing of our 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SE'C's rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There has been no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended July 2, 2006, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

We are at any one time party to a number of lawsuits or subject to claims arising out of the ordinary course of our business, including actions related to product liability, patent, trademark or other intellectual property infringement, contractual liability, workplace safety and environmental claims and cases, some of which involve claims for substantial damages. We and our subsidiaries are currently defendants in a number of pending legal actions, including actions related to use and performance of our products. While we carry product liability insurance covering significant claims for damages involving personal injury and property damage, we cannot assure you that such insurance would be adequate to cover the costs associated with a judgment against us with respect to these claims. We also establish reserves for matters in which losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. We have also been identified as a potentially responsible party at several waste disposal sites under federal and state environmental statutes, as more fully described in Item 1 of our 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K under "Environmental Compliance-Other Environmental Statutes and Regulations." We deny liability with respect to many of these legal actions and environmental proceedings and are vigorously defending such actions or proceedings. While we believe we have established adequate accruals for our expected future liability with respect to our pending legal actions and proceedings, we cannot assure you that our liability with respect to any such action or proceeding would not exceed our established accruals. Further, we cannot assure that litigation having a material adverse affect on our financial condition will not arise in the future. The information in Item 1 "Other Environmental Statutes and Regulations" referred to above should be read in conjunction with this disclosure. See also Note 13, "Contingencies, Guarantees and Indemnifications" of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There has been no material change in this information since the filing of our 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

In addition to other information set forth in this report, you should consider other risk factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors Relating to our Business” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K or the Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements in this Quarterly Report are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently judge to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results.

In September of 2005, our Board of Directors ratified all prior authorizations for the repurchase of Cummins common stock and we publicly announced our intention to purchase, at prices to be determined, approximately $100 million of our common stock over the next two years. During the second quarter we completed this program and in July 2006, the Board of Directors gave authorization to the Company to acquire up to two million shares of Cummins common stock in addition to what has been acquired under previous authorizations.

During the second quarter of 2006, we repurchased 1,223 shares from employees in connection with the Company's Key Employee Stock Investment Plan which allows certain employees, other than officers, to purchase shares of common stock of the Company on an installment basis up to an established credit limit. Loans are issued for five-year terms at a fixed interest rate established at the date of purchase and may be refinanced after its initial five-year period for an additional five-year period. Participants must hold shares for a minimum of six months from date of purchase and after shares are sold, must wait six months before another share purchase may be made.

During the second quarter of 2006, the Company issued 1,384 shares of restricted stock as compensation to the Company's non-employee directors, all of whom are accredited investors. These shares were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act") pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.

The Company held its annual meeting of security holders on May 9, 2006. There were 46,715,941 shares of common stock entitled to vote at the meeting and a total of 41,679,414, or 89.2 percent, were represented at the meeting. Security holders voted on the following proposals:

Results of the voting in connection with the election of directors were as follows:

With regard to the election of directors, votes were cast in favor of or withheld from each nominee; votes that were withheld were excluded entirely from the vote and did not affect the election. Under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange, brokers who held shares in street names had the authority to vote on certain items when they did not receive instructions from beneficial owners. Brokers who did not receive instructions were entitled to vote on the election of directors. Under applicable Indiana law, a broker non-vote had no effect on the outcome of the election of directors.

Proposal 2: Proposal to ratify the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as independent certified public accountants for the year 2006.

Results of the voting to ratify the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers were as follows:

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized.
