NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Unaudited
______________________________________________



Note 1. Accounting Policies: The Consolidated Financial Statements
for the interim periods ended March 25, 2001 and March 26, 2000 have
been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies described in
the Company's Annual Report to Shareholders and Form 10-K. Management
believes the statements include all adjustments of a normal recurring
nature necessary to present fairly the results of operations for the
interim periods. Inventory values at interim reporting dates are based
upon estimates of the annual adjustments for taking physical inventory
and for the change in cost of LIFO inventories.

Note 2. Income Taxes: Income tax expense is reported during the
interim reporting periods on the basis of the estimated annual
effective tax rate for the taxable jurisdictions in which the Company
operates.

Note 3. Earnings per Share: Basic earnings per share of common stock
are computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted-average number of
common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per
share are computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted-average
number of shares, assuming the exercise of stock options when their
effect is dilutive. Shares of stock held by the employee benefits
trust are not included in outstanding shares for EPS until distributed
from the trust.

Note 6. Restructuring, Asset Impairment and Other Special Charges: In
the fourth quarter of 2000, the Company recorded charges of $160
million reflecting restructuring actions, asset impairments and other
activities largely focused in the Engine Business. The actions
included $42 million to reduce the worldwide workforce by 600 salaried
employees and 830 hourly employees, $72 million for impairment of
equipment and other assets, $30 million for impairment of software
developed for internal use where the software programs were cancelled
prior to implementation and $16 million associated with exit costs to
close or consolidate a number of smaller business operations.

The Company is continuing the restructuring plan implemented in the
fourth quarter of 2000. As of March 25, 2001, approximately $84
million has been charged against the restructuring provisions.

Activity in the major components of these charges is as follows:

The Company is concluding the restructuring plan implemented in the
third quarter of 1998. As of March 25, 2001, the remaining balance
associated with the 1998 restructuring plan is $12 million. The
remaining actions to be completed consist primarily of the payment of
severance commitments to terminated employees in 2001 and the remaining
payment to the Environmental Protection Agency of $8 million in July
2001.

Note 7. Derivative Instruments: Effective with first quarter of 2001,
the Company adopted SFAS No. 133 on accounting for derivative
instruments and hedging activities. No transition adjustment was
recorded as a result of the adoption, and the statement did not have a
material effect on the Company's results of operations.

During the first quarter of 2001, the Company terminated interest rate
swaps resulting in proceeds of $9 million. These proceeds are
amortized across the remaining maturities of the associated debt
instruments.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS,
CASH FLOW AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
_____________________________________________________________


Overview
________

Net sales were $1.35 billion in the first quarter of 2001, a decrease
of 18 percent from the first quarter of 2000. The loss before interest
and taxes in the first quarter of 2001 was $6 million or (0.4) percent
of sales compared to earnings of $81 million or 4.9 percent of sales
in the first quarter of 2000. The net loss in the first quarter was
$26 million or $(0.68) per share compared to net earnings $42 million
or $1.09 per share in the first quarter of 2000.

Results of Operations
_____________________

Net Sales:
__________

Revenues from sales of engines, which were 47 percent of the Company's
net sales in the first quarter of 2001, were 30 percent lower than the
first quarter of 2000. Revenues from non-engine products, which were
53 percent of net sales in the first quarter of 2001, were 4 percent
lower than the first quarter of 2000. The economic downturn in North
America had a significant impact on the major markets served by the
midrange and heavy-duty engines.

All three of the Company's business segments had lower sales in the
first quarter of 2001 than in the year-ago quarter. The Company's
sales for each of its key businesses during the comparative first
quarters were:

First Quarter
$ Millions 2001 2000

Power Generation Business 309 329

$1,349 $1,648
______ ______
______ ______

In the first quarter of 2001, engine business revenues of $768 million
decreased 27 percent as compared to the first quarter of 2000,
primarily due to declines in the North American automotive markets.

Sales of $501 million in the first quarter of 2001 for automotive
markets were 35 percent lower than the first quarter of 2000. Heavy-
duty truck revenues as a whole were down 43 percent compared to the
first quarter of 2000, with engine unit shipments in North America down
60 percent while unit shipments to the rest of the world were down 21
percent.
10

Medium-duty truck and bus revenues decreased 4 percent from the first
quarter of 2000. Medium-duty truck engine shipments were down 30
percent in North America, partially offset by a 6 percent increase in
international markets. Bus engine shipments were up 3 percent in North
America and up 87 percent in international markets, with significant
growth in India and China.

Revenues of the light-duty automotive and recreational vehicle business
were 43 percent lower than the first quarter of 2000. In the first
quarter of 2001, Cummins shipped 15,400 engines to DaimlerChrysler, 49
percent lower than in the first quarter of 2000. Shipments for the
recreational vehicle markets were down 29 percent, reflecting weakness
in the U.S. economy.

Sales to mining and rail markets were 29 percent higher than in the
first quarter of 2000. Revenues in the mining segment were up 33
percent from the first quarter of 2000 and reflect a continued growth in
demand for the new 60-liter engine launched in 2000. First quarter
sales to the rail sector doubled from the first quarter of 2000,
primarily as a result of strong sales in Europe.

Sales to the construction, marine and agriculture markets were 8 percent
lower than in the first quarter of 2000. Worldwide sales in the
construction equipment market were down 12 percent from the first
quarter of 2000 with unit shipments of engines in North America down 33
percent. This decline was partially offset by a 4 percent increase in
construction engine shipments to international markets. Revenues in the
marine markets were essentially unchanged, reflecting continued strength
globally in commercial and recreational applications. Sales in the
agricultural equipment market were virtually flat and remain at
depressed levels.

In the first quarter of 2001, sales for the Company's power generation
business of $309 million decreased 6 percent compared to the first
quarter of 2000. Alternator revenues were down 14 percent from a year
ago and mobile/recreational vehicle revenues were down 14 percent.
Sales of engines to other genset original equipment manufacturers were
down 16 percent. Genset revenues were up modestly from a year ago as
the change in genset mix to higher kW units offset volume declines.

Filtration business and other sales of $272 million in the first
quarter of 2001 were essentially unchanged compared to the first
quarter of 2000. Within the filtration business, sales decreased 5
percent compared to the first quarter of 2000 due to reductions in
demand from North American on-highway and off-highway original
equipment manufacturers. First quarter sales at company-owned
distributors were up 11 percent, resulting from sales at international
distributors acquired since first quarter 2000 plus higher sales in
Germany and Australia. Sales at the Holset turbocharger business also
increased from a year ago.

In total, international markets represented 46 percent of the Company's
revenues in the first quarter of 2001. International sales in total
were down 8 percent from the first quarter of 2000. Virtually the
entire decline in international sales from a year ago was from heavy-
duty truck demand in Canada. All other international markets remain
relatively stable compared to a year ago. Sales to Europe and the CIS,
representing 16 percent of the Company's sales in the first quarter of
2001, were 3 percent lower than the prior year's quarter. Business in
Mexico, Brazil and Latin America represented 7 percent of sales in the
first quarter of 2001, with revenues 4 percent above the year-ago
levels. Asia and Australian markets, in total, represented 15 percent
of sales in the first quarter of 2001, increasing 3 percent from the
prior year's quarter. Sales to Canada, representing 6 percent of sales
in the first quarter of 2001, were 45 percent lower than the first
quarter of 2000.

Gross Margin:
_____________

The Company's gross margin percentage was 17.2 percent in the first
quarter of 2001, compared to 20.3 percent in the prior year's quarter.
The decreased margin in 2001 was due to unabsorbed manufacturing costs
due to the lower volumes, unfavorable product mix, and the impact of
exchange rates from currencies in which the Company had significant
sales (the Pound Sterling, the Australian dollar and the Euro) while
costs were largely associated with the U.S. dollar.
11

Operating Expenses:
___________________

Selling and administrative expenses as a percent of sales were 13.6
percent in the first quarter of 2001 compared to 11.8 percent in the
first quarter of 2000, while expenses in absolute dollars decreased $11
million. Research and engineering expenses were 3.9 percent of sales
in the first quarter of 2001 compared to 3.6 percent in the first
quarter of 2000.

The Company is continuing the restructuring plans implemented in the
third quarter of 1998 and the fourth quarter of 2000. During the first
quarter of 2001, $11 million was charged against the 2000 restructuring
liabilities. The Company expects to complete the 2000 actions in 2001
and 2002 with the majority of the activity in 2001. The Company does
not currently anticipate any material changes in the original charges
recorded for these actions.

The Company had income from joint ventures and alliances of $2 million
in the first quarter of 2001, compared to income of $1 million in the
first quarter of 2000.

Other:
______

Interest expense was $23 million in the first quarter of 2001, compared
to $19 million in the first quarter of 2000. Other expense increased
$2 million from the first quarter of 2000, as a one-time gain from the
first quarter of 2000 was not repeated in the first quarter of 2001.

Provision for Income Taxes:
__________________________


The Company's income tax provision in the first quarter of 2001 was a
benefit of $7 million, reflecting an estimated effective tax rate of 25
percent for the year.

Cash Flow and Financial Condition
_________________________________

Key elements of cash flows were:

First Quarter
$ Millions 2001 2000
__________ _____ _____

Net cash provided by operating activities $ 43 $ 9
Net cash used in investing activities (83) (77)
Net cash provided by financing activities 72 62
____ ____
Net change in cash and cash equivalents $ 32 $ (6)
____ ____
____ ____

In the first quarter of 2001, net cash provided by operating activities
was $43 million. The Company's losses were offset by the non-cash
effect of depreciation and amortization. Increases in accounts payable
and accrued expenses offset increases in accounts receivable, inventory
and other increases in working capital. Net cash used in investing
activities included $62 million of planned capital expenditures and $23
million related to investments and advances in joint ventures and
alliances. Net cash provided by financing activities in the first
quarter of 2001 included net borrowings of $96 million primarily to
fund the capital spending, partially offset by cash used to pay
dividends.
