NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Cummins Inc. (Cummins, we, our or us) is a leading global power provider that designs, manufactures, distributes and services diesel and natural gas engines, engine-related component products, including emission solutions, filtration, fuel systems and air handling systems, and power generation products, including electric power generation systems and related products. We were founded in 1919 as one of the first manufacturers of diesel engines and are headquartered in the United States (U.S.) in Columbus, Indiana. We sell our products to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), distributors and other customers worldwide. We serve our customers through a network of more than 600 company-owned and independent distributor locations and approximately 6,500 dealer locations in more than 190 countries and territories.
NOTE 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows. 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. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the presentation of the current period condensed financial statements.
Our reporting period usually ends on the Sunday closest to the last day of the quarterly calendar period. The second quarters of 2012 and 2011 ended on July 1, and June 26, respectively. The interim periods for both 2012 and 2011 contain 13 weeks, while the six month periods contained 26 weeks and 25 weeks, respectively. Our fiscal year ends on December 31, regardless of the day of the week on which December 31 falls.
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, lease classifications and contingencies. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may be different from these estimates.
In preparing our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, we evaluated subsequent events through the date our quarterly report was filed with the SEC.
The weighted-average diluted common shares outstanding exclude the anti-dilutive effect of certain stock options since such options had an exercise price in excess of the monthly average market value of our common stock. The options excluded from diluted earnings per share for the three and six month periods ended July 1, 2012, and June 26, 2011, were as follows:
Options excluded
439,328
140,277
332,802
80,858
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, 2011. 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 Consolidated Balance Sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP.
NOTE 3. DIVESTITURES AND ACQUISITIONS
Divestitures
In the second quarter of 2011, we sold certain assets and liabilities of our exhaust business which manufactures exhaust products and select components for emission systems for a variety of applications not core to our other product offerings. This business was historically included in our Components segment. The sales price was $123 million. We recognized a gain of $68 million ($37 million after-tax), which included a goodwill allocation of $19 million. In the second quarter of 2012, we recorded an additional $6 million gain ($4 million after-tax) related to final purchase price adjustments for our 2011 divestitures. The gains have been excluded from segment results as they were not considered in our evaluation of operating results for the three and six months ended July 1, 2012 and June 26, 2011.
Sales for this business were $62 million, $171 million and $126 million in 2011 (through closing), 2010 and 2009, respectively. Operating results for this business were approximately $9 million, $22 million and $11 million in 2011 (through closing), 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Pending Acquisitions
In April 2012, we reached an agreement to acquire the doser technology and business assets from Hilite Germany GmbH (Hilite) in a cash transaction. Dosers are products that enable compliance with emission standards in certain aftertreatment systems and complement our current product offerings. The transaction was approved by German regulators in June, closed on July 18, 2012, and will be reflected in our consolidated financial statements in the third quarter of 2012. The purchase price was approximately $176 million and is summarized below. There is no contingent consideration associated with this transaction. During the first six months of 2012 we expensed approximately $4 million of acquisition related costs.
The acquisition of Hilite was accounted for as a business combination, with the results of the acquired entity and the goodwill to be included in the Components operating segment in the third quarter of 2012. The majority of the purchase price will be allocated to technology and customer related intangible assets and goodwill, most of which is expected to be fully deductible for tax purposes. We expect the Hilite acquisition to strengthen our after treatment product offerings. This acquisition puts us in a strong position to meet the needs of current customers and grow into new markets, especially as an increasing number of regions around the world adopt tougher emission standards.
Intangible assets by asset class, including weighted average amortization life, are expected to be as follows:
Dollars in millions
Purchase price allocation
Weighted average amortization life in years
Technology
52
10.6

4.5

We are in the process of finalizing certain aspects of the purchase price allocation. The purchase price is expected to be allocated as follows:
Inventory
Fixed assets
Intangible assets
91
Liabilities
Total purchase price
176
Net sales for Hilite were $77 million for the 12 months ended December 31, 2011.
In July 2012, we acquired an additional 45 percent interest in Cummins Central Power from the former principal for consideration of approximately $17 million (subject to final adjustments), which will be reflected in our consolidated financial statements in the third quarter of 2012. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination, with the results of the acquired entity to be included in the Distribution operating segment in the third quarter of 2012. We estimate that the transaction will include a $7 million gain, as we are required to re-measure our pre-existing 35 percent ownership interest in Cummins Central Power to fair value in accordance with GAAP.
NOTE 4. PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS

We paid $17 million of claims and premiums for other postretirement benefits in the six months ended July 1, 2012; payments for the remainder of 2012 are expected to be $34 million. The $130 million of contributions for the full year include voluntary contributions of approximately $109 million. These contributions and payments may be made from trusts or company funds either to increase pension assets or to make direct benefit payments to plan participants.
The components of net periodic pension and other postretirement benefit cost under our plans consisted of the following:

NOTE 7. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The majority of the assets and liabilities we carry at fair value are available-for-sale (AFS) securities and derivatives. AFS securities are derived from level 1 or level 2 inputs. Derivative assets and liabilities are derived from level 2 inputs. The predominance of market inputs are actively quoted and can be validated through external sources, including brokers, market transactions and third-party pricing services. When material, we adjust the values of our derivative contracts for counter-party or our credit risk. There were no transfers into or out of levels 2 or 3 in the first six months of 2012.
The following table summarizes our financial instruments recorded at fair value in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at July 1, 2012:

The following table summarizes our financial instruments recorded at fair value in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2011:

The substantial majority of our assets were valued utilizing a market approach. A description of the valuation techniques and inputs used for our level 2 fair value measures are as follows:
Debt mutual funds Assets in level 2 consist of exchange traded mutual funds that lack sufficient trading volume to be classified at level 1. The fair value measure for these investments is the daily net asset value published on a regulated governmental website. Daily quoted prices are available from the issuing brokerage and are used on a test basis to corroborate this level 2 input.
Bank debentures and Certificates of deposit These investments provide us with a fixed rate of return and generally range in maturity from six months to three years. The counter-parties to these investments are reputable financial institutions with investment grade credit ratings. Since these instruments are not tradable and must be settled directly by Cummins with the respective financial institution, our fair value measure is the financial institutions month-end statement.
Government debt securities-non-U.S. and Corporate debt securities The fair value measure for these securities are broker quotes received from reputable firms. These securities are infrequently traded on a national stock exchange and these values are used on a test basis to corroborate our level 2 input measure.
Foreign currency forward contracts The fair value measure for these contracts are determined based on forward foreign exchange rates received from third-party pricing services. These rates are based upon market transactions and are periodically corroborated by comparing to third-party broker quotes.
Commodity swap contracts The fair value measure for these contracts are current spot market data adjusted for the appropriate current forward curves provided by external financial institutions. The current spot price is the most significant component of this valuation and is based upon market transactions. We use third-party pricing services for the spot price component of this valuation which is periodically corroborated by market data from broker quotes.
Interest rate contracts We currently have only one interest rate contract. We utilize the month-end statement from the issuing financial institution as our fair value measure for this investment. We corroborate this valuation through the use of a third-party pricing service for similar assets and liabilities.
Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments
Based on borrowing rates currently available to us for bank loans with similar terms and average maturities, considering our risk premium, the fair value and carrying value of total debt, including current maturities, at July 1, 2012 and December 31, 2011, are set forth in the table below. The carrying values of all other receivables and liabilities approximated fair values (derived from level 2 inputs).

NOTE 9. PRODUCT WARRANTY LIABILITY
We charge the estimated costs of warranty programs, other than product recalls, to income at the time products are shipped to customers. We use historical claims experience to develop the estimated liability. We review product recall programs on a quarterly basis and, if necessary, record a liability when we commit to an action, or when they become probable and estimable, which is reflected in the provision for warranties issued line. We also sell extended warranty coverage on several engines. The following is a tabular reconciliation of the product warranty liability, including the deferred revenue related to our extended warranty coverage and accrued recall programs:

NOTE 11. DERIVATIVES
We are exposed to financial risk resulting from volatility in foreign exchange rates, commodity prices and interest rates. This risk is closely monitored and managed through the use of financial derivative instruments including foreign currency forward contracts, commodity swap contracts and interest rate swaps. As stated in our policies and procedures, financial derivatives are used expressly for hedging purposes, and under no circumstances are they used for speculative purposes. When material, we adjust the value of our derivative contracts for counter-party or our credit risk.
Foreign Exchange Rates
As a result of our international business presence, we are exposed to foreign currency exchange risks. We transact business in foreign currencies and, as a result, our income experiences some volatility related to movements in foreign currency exchange rates. To help manage our exposure to exchange rate volatility, we use foreign exchange forward contracts on a regular basis to hedge forecasted intercompany and third-party sales and purchases denominated in non-functional currencies. Our internal policy allows for managing anticipated foreign currency cash flows for up to one year. These foreign currency forward contracts are designated and qualify as foreign currency cash flow hedges under GAAP. The effective portion of the unrealized gain or loss on the forward contract is deferred and reported as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive loss (AOCL). When the hedged forecasted transaction (sale or purchase) occurs, the unrealized gain or loss is reclassified into income in the same line item associated with the hedged transaction in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects income. The ineffective portion of the hedge, unrealized gain or loss, if any, is recognized in current income during the period of change. As of July 1, 2012, the amount we expect to reclassify from AOCL to income over the next year is an unrealized net loss of $2 million. For the six month periods ended July 1, 2012 and June 26, 2011, there were no circumstances that would have resulted in the discontinuance of a foreign currency cash flow hedge.
To minimize the income volatility resulting from the remeasurement of net monetary assets and payables denominated in a currency other than the functional currency, we enter into foreign currency forward contracts, which are considered economic hedges. The objective is to offset the gain or loss from remeasurement with the gain or loss from the fair market valuation of the forward contract. These derivative instruments are not designated as hedges under GAAP.
The table below summarizes our outstanding foreign currency forward contracts. Only the U.S. dollar forward contracts are designated and qualify for hedge accounting as of each period presented below. The currencies in this table represent 96 percent and 98 percent of the notional amounts of contracts outstanding as of July 1, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

Commodity Price Risk
We are exposed to fluctuations in commodity prices due to contractual agreements with component suppliers. In order to protect ourselves against future price volatility and, consequently, fluctuations in gross margins, we periodically enter into commodity swap contracts with designated banks to fix the cost of certain raw material purchases with the objective of minimizing changes in inventory cost due to market price fluctuations. Certain commodity swap contracts are derivative contracts that are designated as cash flow hedges under GAAP. We also have commodity swap contracts that represent an economic hedge, however do not qualify for hedge accounting and are marked to market through earnings. For those contracts that qualify for hedge accounting, the effective portion of the unrealized gain or loss is deferred and reported as a component of AOCL. When the hedged forecasted transaction (purchase) occurs, the unrealized gain or loss is reclassified into income in the same line item associated with the hedged transaction in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects income. The ineffective portion of the hedge, if any, is recognized in current income in the period in which the ineffectiveness occurs. As of July 1, 2012, we expect to reclassify an unrealized net loss of $5 million from AOCL to income over the next year. Our internal policy allows for managing these cash flow hedges for up to three years.

(1)A metric ton is a measurement of mass equal to 1,000 kilograms.

Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to market risk from fluctuations in interest rates. We manage our exposure to interest rate fluctuations through the use of interest rate swaps. The objective of the swaps is to more effectively balance our borrowing costs and interest rate risk.
In November 2005, we entered into an interest rate swap to effectively convert our $250 million debt issue, due in 2028, from a fixed rate of 7.125 percent to a floating rate based on a LIBOR spread. The terms of the swap mirror those of the debt, with interest paid semi-annually. This swap qualifies as a fair value hedge under GAAP. The gain or loss on this derivative instrument as well as the offsetting gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in current income as Interest expense.

NOTE 12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
We are subject to numerous lawsuits and claims arising out of the ordinary course of our business, including actions related to product liability; personal injury; the use and performance of our products; warranty matters; patent, trademark or other intellectual property infringement; contractual liability; the conduct of our business; tax reporting in foreign jurisdictions; distributor termination; workplace safety; and environmental matters. We also have been identified as a potentially responsible party at multiple waste disposal sites under U.S. federal 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 have denied liability with respect to many of these lawsuits, claims and proceedings and are vigorously defending such lawsuits, claims and proceedings. We carry various forms of commercial, property and casualty, product liability and other forms of insurance; however, such insurance may not be applicable or adequate to cover the costs associated with a judgment against us with respect to these lawsuits, claims and proceedings. We do not believe that these lawsuits are material individually or in the aggregate. While we believe we have also established adequate accruals for our expected future liability with respect to pending lawsuits, claims and proceedings, where the nature and extent of any such liability can be reasonably estimated based upon then presently available information, there can be no assurance that the final resolution of any existing or future lawsuits, claims or proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
We conduct significant business operations in Brazil that are subject to the Brazilian federal, state and local labor, social security, tax and customs laws. While we believe we comply with such laws, they are complex, subject to varying interpretations and we are often engaged in litigation regarding the application of these laws to particular circumstances.
U.S. Distributor Commitments
Our distribution agreements with independent and partially-owned distributors generally have a three-year term and are restricted to specified territories. Our distributors develop and maintain a network of dealers with which we have no direct relationship. Our distributors are permitted to sell other, noncompetitive products only with our consent. We license all of our distributors to use our name and logo in connection with the sale and service of our products, with no right to assign or sublicense the trademarks, except to authorized dealers, without our consent. Products are sold to the distributors at standard domestic or international distributor net prices, as applicable. Net prices are wholesale prices we establish to permit our distributors an adequate margin on their sales. Subject to local laws, we can generally refuse to renew these agreements upon expiration or terminate them upon written notice for inadequate sales, change in principal ownership and certain other reasons. Distributors also have the right to terminate the agreements upon 60-day notice without cause, or 30-day notice for cause. Upon termination or failure to renew, we are required to purchase the distributors current inventory, signage and special tools, and may, at our option purchase other assets of the distributor, but are under no obligation to do so.
Other Guarantees and Commitments
In addition to the matters discussed above, from time to time we periodically enter into other guarantee arrangements, including guarantees of non-U.S. distributor financing, residual value guarantees on equipment leased under operating leases and other miscellaneous guarantees of third-party obligations. As of July 1, 2012, the maximum potential loss related to these other guarantees is summarized as follows (where the guarantee is in a foreign currency the amount below represents the amount in U.S. dollars at current exchange rates):
Cummins Olayan Energy Limited debt guarantee
Xian Cummins Engine Company Limited debt guarantee
Residual value guarantees
Other debt guarantees
Maximum potential loss
The amount of liabilities related to the above guarantees was $12 million.
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 in most instances. As of July 1, 2012, if we were to stop purchasing from each of these suppliers, the aggregate amount of the penalty would be approximately $33 million, of which $32 million relates to a contract with an engine parts supplier that extends to 2013. We do not currently anticipate paying any penalties under these contracts. In addition, we also have a take or pay contract with an emission solutions business supplier requiring us to purchase approximately $73 million annually from 2012 to 2018. These arrangements enable us to secure critical components.
We have guarantees with certain customers that require us to satisfactorily honor contractual or regulatory obligations, or compensate for monetary losses related to nonperformance. These performance bonds and other performance-related guarantees were $73 million at July 1, 2012.
Indemnifications
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:
· product liability and license, patent or trademark indemnifications,
· 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.
Joint Venture Commitments
As of July 1, 2012, we have committed to invest an additional $46 million into existing joint ventures, of which $38 million is expected to be funded in 2012.
NOTE 13. OPERATING SEGMENTS
Operating segments under GAAP are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision-maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Cummins chief operating decision-maker (CODM) is the Chief Executive Officer.
Our reportable operating segments consist of the following: Engine, Components, Power Generation and Distribution. This reporting structure is organized according to the products and markets each segment serves and allows management to focus its efforts on providing enhanced service to a wide range of customers. The Engine segment produces engines and parts for sale to customers in on-highway and various industrial markets. Our engines are used in trucks of all sizes, buses and recreational vehicles, as well as various industrial applications including construction, mining, agriculture, marine, oil and gas, rail and military equipment. The Components segment sells filtration products, exhaust aftertreatment systems, turbochargers and fuel systems. The Power Generation segment is an integrated provider of power systems. The segment sells engines, generator sets, alternators, power systems and services. The Distribution segment includes wholly-owned and partially-owned distributorships engaged in wholesaling engines, generator sets and service parts, as well as performing service and repair activities on our products and maintaining relationships with various OEMs throughout the world.
We use segment EBIT (defined as earnings before interest expense, income taxes and noncontrolling interests) as a primary basis for the CODM to evaluate the performance of each of our operating segments. Segment amounts exclude certain expenses not specifically identifiable to segments.
The accounting policies of our operating segments are the same as those applied in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. We prepared the financial results of our operating segments on a basis that is consistent with the manner in which we internally disaggregate financial information to assist in making internal operating decisions. We have allocated certain common costs and expenses, primarily corporate functions, among segments differently than we would for stand-alone financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. These include certain costs and expenses of shared services, such as information technology, human resources, legal and finance. We also do not allocate debt-related items, actuarial gains or losses, prior services costs or credits, changes in cash surrender value of corporate owned life insurance or income taxes to individual segments. Segment EBIT may not be consistent with measures used by other companies.

NOTE 14. RECENTLY ADOPTED AND RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted
In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) amended its rules regarding the presentation of comprehensive income. The objective of this amendment is to improve the comparability, consistency and transparency of financial reporting and to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income. Specifically, this amendment requires that all non-owner changes in shareholders equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In addition, the standard also requires disclosure of the location of reclassification adjustments between other comprehensive income and net income on the face of the financial statements. The new rules became effective for us beginning January 1, 2012. In December 2011, the FASB deferred certain aspects of this standard beyond the current effective date, specifically the provisions dealing with reclassification adjustments. Because the standard only impacts the display of comprehensive income and does not impact what is included in comprehensive income, the standard did not have a significant impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
In May 2011, the FASB amended its standards related to fair value measurements and disclosures. The objective of the amendment is to improve the comparability of fair value measurements presented and disclosed in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. Primarily this amendment changed the wording used to describe many of the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in addition to clarifying the Boards intent about the application of existing fair value measurement requirements. The new standard also requires additional disclosures related to fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy and requires disclosure of the categorization in the hierarchy for items which are not recorded at fair value but fair value is required to be disclosed. The new rules were effective for us beginning January 1, 2012. As of July 1, 2012, we had no fair value measurements categorized within Level 3. The only impact for us is the disclosure of the categorization in the fair value hierarchy for those items where fair value is only disclosed (primarily our debt obligations). Our disclosure related to the new standard is included in Note 7, FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS, to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Accounting Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Effective
In December 2011, the FASB amended its standards related to offsetting assets and liabilities. This amendment requires entities to disclose both gross and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting agreement. This information will enable users of the financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. The new rules will become effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. It is also required that the new disclosures are applied retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. We do not believe this amendment will have a significant impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements; however we are currently evaluating the potential impacts to our footnote disclosures.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AND FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
We are a global power leader that designs, manufactures, distributes and services diesel and natural gas engines, engine-related component products, including emission solutions, filtration, fuel systems and air handling systems, and power generation products, including electronic power generation systems and related products. 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 PACCAR Inc, Chrysler Group, LLC, Daimler Trucks North America, Ford Motor Company, Komatsu and Volvo AB. We serve our customers through a network of more than 600 company-owned and independent distributor locations and approximately 6,500 dealer locations in more than 190 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 our customers access to credit. Our sales may also be impacted by OEM inventory levels and production schedules and stoppages. Economic downturns in markets we serve generally result in reductions in sales and pricing of our products. As a worldwide business, our operations are also affected by currency, political, economic and regulatory matters, including adoption and enforcement of environmental and emission standards, in the countries we serve. As part of our growth strategy, we invest in businesses in certain countries that carry high levels of these risks such as China, Brazil, India, Mexico, Russia and countries in the Middle East and Africa. At the same time, our geographic diversity and broad product and service offerings have helped limit the impact from a drop in demand in any one industry or customer or the economy of any single country on our consolidated results.
In the first six months of 2012, we experienced growth in several end markets in North America, especially the North American on-highway markets. Demand for heavy-duty on-highway products in North America increased 53 percent in the first six months of 2012 as compared to the same period in 2011. In addition, medium-duty truck and bus shipments in North America increased 24 percent in the first six months of 2012 compared to the same period in 2011. North American light-duty on-highway demand improved with an increase in shipments to Chrysler of 25 percent in the first six months of 2012 compared to the same period in 2011. Demand in certain emerging markets including Brazil and China has declined in 2012. The on-highway medium-duty truck market in Brazil declined as the result of the 2011 pre-buy ahead of the new 2012 emission requirements, and the off-highway construction markets in China have continued to deteriorate. The governments of China and India have controlled inflation through tight monetary policies in the form of rising interest rates and tightening access to credit, although both countries have begun easing these policies in response to reduced inflationary concerns. Easing monetary policies could enhance our end markets, however, there likely would be a delay between when these policies are implemented and when our end markets respond. The European economy remains an uncertainty with continued volatility in the Euro countries. Although we do not have any significant direct exposure to European sovereign debt, we generated approximately nine percent of our net sales from Euro zone countries in 2011 and approximately eight percent in the first six months of 2012.
The following tables contain sales and earnings before interest expense, income taxes and noncontrolling interests (EBIT) results by operating segment for the three and six months ended July 1, 2012 and June 26, 2011. Refer to the section titled Operating Segment Results for a more detailed discussion of net sales and EBIT by operating segment, including the reconciliation of segment EBIT to income before taxes.

Net income attributable to Cummins was $469 million, or $2.47 per diluted share, on sales of $4.5 billion for the three month interim reporting period ended July 1, 2012, versus the comparable prior year period with net income attributable to Cummins of $505 million, or $2.60 per diluted share, on sales of $4.6 billion. The decrease in income was driven by the following:
· the 2011 gain on the disposition of certain assets and liabilities of our exhaust business;
· lower volumes, particularly in the international construction and medium-duty truck markets, which were offset by improved gross margin as a percentage of sales;
· higher research, development and engineering expenses;
· higher selling, general and administrative expenses and
· lower equity, royalty and interest income from investees.
These increases were partially offset by a lower effective tax rate.
Diluted earnings per share for the three months ended July 1, 2012 also benefited $0.02 from lower shares primarily due to the stock repurchase program.
(24
Net income attributable to Cummins was $924 million, or $4.85 per diluted share, on sales of $8.9 billion for the six month interim reporting period ended July 1, 2012, versus the comparable prior year period with net income attributable to Cummins of $848 million, or $4.34 per diluted share, on sales of $8.5 billion. The increase in income was driven by the following:
· higher volumes, primarily in the North American on-highway markets;
· improved gross margins and
· a lower effective tax rate.
These increases were partially offset by the following:
· higher selling, general and administrative expenses;
· higher research, development and engineering expenses and
· the 2011 gain on the disposition of certain assets and liabilities of our exhaust business.
Diluted earnings per share for the six months ended July 1, 2012 also benefited $0.01 from lower shares primarily due to the stock repurchase program.
We generated $397 million of operating cash flows for the six months ended July 1, 2012, compared to $744 million for the six months ended June 26, 2011. Refer to the section titled Operating Activities in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section for a discussion of items impacting cash flows.
In February 2011, the Board of Directors authorized the acquisition of up to $1 billion of our common stock. We repurchased $196 million in the first six months of 2012. Our debt to capital ratio (total capital defined as debt plus equity) at July 1, 2012, was 11.0 percent, compared to 11.8 percent at December 31, 2011. In addition to the $1.4 billion in cash and marketable securities on hand, we have sufficient access to our revolver and accounts receivable program to meet currently anticipated growth and funding needs.
In July 2012, the Board of Directors authorized a dividend increase of 25 percent from $0.40 per share to $0.50 per share on a quarterly basis effective in the third quarter.
Our global pension plans, including our unfunded and non-qualified plans, were 98 percent funded at December 31, 2011. Our United States (U.S.) qualified plan, which represents approximately 60 percent of the worldwide pension obligation, was 103 percent funded and our United Kingdom (U.K.) plan was 106 percent funded. We expect to contribute $130 million to our global pension plans in 2012.
OUTLOOK
Near-Term
In the first six months of 2012, North American demand in heavy-, medium- and light-duty truck markets remained strong.
We expect the following challenges to our business that may reduce our earnings potential in the remainder of 2012:
· One of our Brazilian customers replaced our B6.7 engine with a proprietary engine in 2012, which should be partially offset by the 2012 launch of our ISF and 9 liter engines in new light-duty on-highway and medium-duty truck applications, respectively, with this same customer. The launch of these new engine applications could be negatively impacted by the weakening Brazilian economy.
· Our 2012 engine sales in Brazil could continue to be negatively impacted by pre-buy activity in 2011 ahead of the implementation of Euro V emission regulations.
· The weakening economy in Brazil could continue to have adverse impacts on our other businesses.
· In China demand in certain industrial markets could remain low through the remainder of the year.
· In India the Rupee could continue to depreciate in value, which would create additional pressure on earnings, while higher inflation could negatively impact sales, especially industrial sales in the remainder of 2012.
· Demand in certain European markets could continue to decline in 2012 due to economic uncertainty.
· Currency volatility could continue to put pressure on earnings in 2012.
· North American oil and gas markets could continue to decline through the remainder of the year.
We will continue to invest in new product development.
Long-Term
We believe that, over the longer term, there will be economic improvements in most of our current markets and that our opportunities for long-term profitable growth will continue in the future as the result of the following four macroeconomic trends that will benefit our businesses:
· tightening emissions controls across the world;
· infrastructure needs in emerging markets;
· energy availability and cost issues and
· globalization of industries like ours.

Net sales for the three months ended July 1, 2012, decreased versus the comparable period in 2011. The decrease in sales by segment was primarily driven by the following:
· Foreign currency fluctuations unfavorably impacted sales approximately three percent.
· Engine segment sales decreased by two percent for the three months ended due to lower volumes in international construction markets, primarily in China, and international medium-duty truck markets, especially in Brazil.
This decrease was partially offset by the following:
· Distribution segment sales increased by one percent for the three months ended due to increased demand in most product lines and geographic regions led by Asia Pacific and Africa, which were mostly offset by decreased demand in Europe and the Middle East.
· Components segment sales slightly increased due to higher demand in the emission solutions business, which were mostly offset by decreased demand in the filtration and turbo technologies businesses and $37 million of disposition sales in the second quarter of 2011.
· Power Generation segment sales remained flat versus the comparable period in 2011 with increased demand in power products and power systems being offset by lower demand in generator technologies and power solutions businesses.
Net sales for the six months ended July 1, 2012, increased versus the comparable period in 2011. The increase in sales by segment was primarily driven by the following:
· Engine segment sales increased by eight percent due to strong growth in the North American on-highway markets led by the heavy-duty business, which was partially offset by weakness in industrial demand, especially in international construction markets, and lower volumes in the international medium-duty truck market, primarily in Brazil.
· Components segment sales increased by nine percent due to higher demand in the emission solutions business.
· Distribution segment sales increased by 10 percent due to higher demand in most product lines and geographic regions led by Asia Pacific, North and Central America and Africa.
· Foreign currency fluctuations unfavorably impacted sales approximately two percent.
· Power Generation segment sales decreased by one percent due to lower demand in the generator technologies and power solutions businesses, which were partially offset by growing demand in the power product business, especially in North America.
A more detailed discussion of sales by segment is presented in the OPERATING SEGMENT RESULTS section.
Sales to international markets based on location of customers for the three and six month periods ended July 1, 2012, were 50 percent of total net sales for both periods, compared with 57 percent of total net sales for both of the comparable periods in 2011.
Gross margin was relatively flat for the three months ended July 1, 2012, versus the comparable period in 2011, as lower volumes were offset by favorable product mix, lower costs and improved price realization. Gross margin increased for the six months ended July 1, 2012, versus the comparable period in 2011, as favorable product mix, higher volumes, improved price realization, lower material costs and lower warranty costs were partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations. The decrease in manufacturing costs was partially due to productivity improvements and cost reduction actions in our manufacturing plants.
Gross margin as a percentage of sales increased by 1.3 percentage points for the three months ended July 1, 2012, versus the comparable period in 2011, as lower volumes were more than offset by favorable product mix, improved price realization, lower warranty costs and lower material costs. The decrease in manufacturing costs was partially due to productivity improvements and cost reduction actions in our manufacturing plants. Gross margin as a percentage of sales increased by 1.6 percentage points for the six months ended July 1, 2012, versus the comparable period in 2011, as favorable product mix, higher volumes, improved price realization, lower material costs and lower warranty costs were partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations.
The provision for warranties issued as a percent of sales for the three and six month periods ended July 1, 2012, were 2.3 percent for both periods in 2012 compared to 2.2 percent and 2.4 percent for the comparable periods in 2011. A more detailed discussion of margin by segment is presented in the OPERATING SEGMENT RESULTS section.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three and six month periods ended July 1, 2012, increased versus the comparable periods in 2011, primarily due to an increase of $4 million and $46 million, respectively, in compensation and related expenses and increased consulting of $17 million and $39 million, respectively. Higher compensation expense was primarily due to increased headcount to support our strategic growth initiatives and merit increases. Compensation and related expenses include salaries, fringe benefits and variable compensation.
Research, Development and Engineering Expenses
Research, development and engineering expenses for the three and six month periods ended July 1, 2012, increased versus the comparable periods in 2011, primarily due to an increase of $12 million and $37 million, respectively, in compensation and related expenses and increased consulting of $12 million and $25 million, respectively. Higher compensation expense was primarily due to increased headcount to support our strategic growth initiatives and merit increases. Compensation and related expenses include salaries, fringe benefits and variable compensation. Research activities continue to focus on development of new products to meet future emission standards around the world and improvements in fuel economy performance.
Equity, Royalty and Interest Income From Investees
Equity, royalty and interest income from investees for the three and six month periods ended July 1, 2012, decreased versus the comparable periods in 2011, primarily due to the following:
Increase/(Decrease)
July 1, 2012 vs. June 26, 2011
Dongfeng Cummins Engine Company, Ltd. (DCEC)
Chongqing Cummins Engine Company, Ltd. (CCEC)
Other equity income
These overall decreases were primarily due to lower sales at DCEC due to weaker demand in the on-highway truck market in China, which was partially offset by strong growth in North America.

Income Tax Expense
Our effective tax rate for the year is expected to approximate 26 percent, absent any discrete period activity. Our tax rate is generally less than the 35 percent U.S. income tax rate primarily due to lower tax rates on foreign income. The tax rates for the three and six month periods ended July 1, 2012, were 25.1 percent and 26.0 percent, respectively.
The tax rates for the three and six month periods ended June 26, 2011, were 29.5 percent and 29.8 percent, respectively, and included a discrete tax charge of $4 million related to the enactment of state law changes in Indiana. The decrease in the 2012 effective tax rates versus the comparable periods in 2011 is due primarily to our assertion that income earned after 2011 by our China operations is permanently reinvested, as well as certain tax planning strategies implemented in our U.K. subsidiaries.
Noncontrolling Interests
Noncontrolling interests eliminate the income or loss attributable to non-Cummins ownership interests in our consolidated entities. Noncontrolling interests in income of consolidated subsidiaries for the three month period ended July 1, 2012, decreased versus the comparable period in 2011, primarily due to a decline of $4 million at Cummins India Ltd., a publicly traded company on various exchanges in India. Noncontrolling interests in income of consolidated subsidiaries for the six month period ended July 1, 2012, decreased versus the comparable period in 2011, primarily due to a decline of $3 million at Wuxi Cummins Turbo Technologies Co., Ltd. and $3 million at Cummins India Ltd.
Net Income Attributable to Cummins Inc. and Diluted Earnings Per Share Attributable to Cummins Inc.
Net income and diluted earnings per share attributable to Cummins Inc. for the three months ended July 1, 2012, decreased versus the comparable period in 2011, primarily due to the 2011 gain on the disposition of certain assets and liabilities of our exhaust business, lower volumes, particularly in the international construction and medium-duty truck markets, higher research, development and engineering expenses, higher selling, general and administrative expenses and lower equity, royalty and interest income from investees, which were partially offset by a lower effective tax rate. Diluted earnings per share benefited $0.02 per share for the three months ended July 1, 2012, from lower shares primarily due to the stock repurchase program.
Net income and diluted earnings per share attributable to Cummins Inc. for the six months ended July 1, 2012, increased versus the comparable period in 2011, primarily due to higher volumes, especially in the North American on-highway markets, improved gross margins and a lower effective tax rate. These increases were partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses, higher research, development and engineering expenses and the 2011 gain on the disposition of certain assets and liabilities of our exhaust business. Diluted earnings per share benefited $0.01 per share for the six months ended July 1, 2012, from lower shares primarily due to the stock repurchase program.

Engine segment sales for the three month period ended July 1, 2012, decreased versus the comparable period in 2011. The following were the primary drivers:
· Foreign currency fluctuations unfavorably impacted sales.
· Industrial market sales decreased primarily due to a 50 percent decline in international construction engine shipments, especially in China, and a 32 percent decline in engine shipments in the North American oil and gas markets due to weakening natural gas prices, which were partially offset by a 23 percent increase in engine shipments in the North American construction market.
· Medium-duty truck and bus sales decreased primarily due to lower demand in the Brazilian truck market due to pre-buy activity in the second half of 2011 ahead of the implementation of Euro V emission regulations in the first quarter of 2012 and one of our customers replacing our B6.7 engine with a proprietary engine in 2012. The B6.7 engine replacement was partially offset by the 2012 launch of our ISF and 9 liter engines in new light-duty on-highway and medium-duty truck applications, respectively, with this same customer.
These decreases were partially offset by the following:
· Heavy-duty truck engine sales increased due to strong growth in North American on-highway markets primarily as a result of the replacement of aging fleets.
· Stationary power sales increased primarily due to higher demand in Power Generations power products markets.
Total on-highway-related sales for the three month period ended July 1, 2012, were 57 percent of total engine segment sales, compared to 56 percent for the comparable period in 2011.
Engine segment sales for the six month period ended July 1, 2012, increased versus the comparable period in 2011. The following were the primary drivers:
· Industrial market sales decreased primarily due to a 44 percent decline in international construction markets, especially in China, and a 16 percent decline in the North American oil and gas markets due to weakening natural gas prices, which were partially offset by a 35 percent increase in engine shipments in the North American construction market and a 12 percent increase in global mining engine markets due to increased coal and commodity demands.

Components segment sales for the three month period ended July 1, 2012, increased versus the comparable period in 2011. The following are the primary drivers:
· Emission solutions business sales increased primarily as the result of higher demand in the North American on-highway market and new sales in the Brazilian on-highway market driven by the new emission requirements effective January 1, 2012. These increases were partially offset by lower price realization, lower sales due to the disposition of certain assets and liabilities of our exhaust business in the second quarter of 2011 and unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations. Disposition related sales were $15 million in the second quarter of 2011.
This increase was partially offset by the following:
· Filtration business sales decreased primarily as a result of the disposition of certain assets and liabilities of our light-duty filtration business in the fourth quarter of 2011 and unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations. Disposition related sales were $22 million in the second quarter of 2011. The decreases were partially offset by increased aftermarket demand.
· Turbo technologies business sales decreased primarily due to a decline in OEM sales in China, Europe and India, unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations and reduced aftermarket demand, partially offset by higher OEM demand in North America.

The three and six months ended July 1, 2012, include a $6 million gain ($4 million after-tax) related to adjustments from our 2011 divestitures. The three and six months ended June 26, 2011, include a $68 million gain ($37 million after-tax) related to the sale of certain assets and liabilities of our exhaust business from the Components segment. The gains have been excluded from segment results as they were not considered in our evaluation of operating results for the three and six months ended July 1, 2012 and June 26, 2011. There were no other significant unallocated corporate expenses for the three and six months ended July 1, 2012 and June 26, 2011.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Managements Assessment of Liquidity
Our financial condition and liquidity remain strong. Our solid balance sheet and credit ratings enable us to continue to have ready access to credit.
We assess our liquidity in terms of our ability to generate adequate cash to fund our operating, investing and financing activities. We generate significant ongoing cash flow, which has been used, in part, to fund capital expenditures, pay dividends on our common stock, fund repurchases of common stock and acquisitions. Cash provided by operations is our principal source of liquidity. As of July 1, 2012, other sources of liquidity include:
· cash and cash equivalents of $1.1 billion, of which approximately 15 percent is located in the U.S. and 85 percent is located primarily in the U.K., China, Singapore, India and Brazil,
· marketable securities of $261 million, which are located primarily in India and Brazil and the majority of which could be liquidated into cash within a few days,
· revolving credit facility with $1.2 billion available, net of outstanding letters of credit,
· international and other domestic credit facilities with $282 million available and
· our accounts receivable sales program with $228 million available, based on eligible receivables.
We believe our liquidity provides us with the financial flexibility needed to fund working capital, capital expenditures, projected pension obligations, dividend payments, common stock repurchases, acquisitions and debt service obligations.
A significant portion of our cash flows is generated outside the U.S. As of July 1, 2012, the total of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities held by foreign subsidiaries was $1.2 billion, the vast majority of which was located in the U.K., China, India, Brazil and Singapore. The geographic location of our cash and marketable securities aligns well with our business growth strategy. We manage our worldwide cash requirements considering available funds among the many subsidiaries through which we conduct our business and the cost effectiveness with which those funds can be accessed. As a result, we do not anticipate any local liquidity restrictions to preclude us from funding our expansion or operating needs with local resources. If these foreign cash balances were repatriated to the U.S. we could be required to accrue and pay U.S. taxes for earnings primarily from our U.K. domiciled subsidiaries, as we have asserted that these earnings are permanently reinvested outside of the U.S. At present we do not foresee a need to repatriate any earnings from these subsidiaries in the near future. However, we do anticipate repatriating available cash from foreign subsidiaries to help fund U.S. cash needs as they arise, and we have transferred and will continue to transfer cash from these subsidiaries to the U.S. and to other international subsidiaries when it is cost effective to do so. Our 2012 and subsequent earnings from our China operations are considered permanently reinvested while earnings generated prior to 2012, for which U.S. deferred tax liabilities have been recorded, are expected to be repatriated in future years.
The purchase price for our pending acquisitions in the third quarter of 2012 is approximately $195 million. We expect to fund these acquisitions primarily with cash from operations.
We continuously monitor our pension assets and believe that we have limited exposure to the European debt crisis. No sovereign debt instruments of crisis countries are held in the trusts, while any equities are held with large well-diversified multinational firms or are de minimis amounts in large index funds. In addition, we rebalanced our asset portfolios in the U.S. and the U.K. in 2010 with equities representing a smaller segment of the total portfolios and we continue to rebalance as necessary to maintain our target range. Our pension plans have not experienced any significant impact on liquidity or counterparty exposure due to the volatility in the credit markets.
Working Capital Summary
We fund our working capital with cash from operations and short-term borrowings when necessary. Various assets and liabilities, including short-term debt, can fluctuate significantly from month to month depending on short-term liquidity needs. As a result, working capital is a prime focus of management attention.

Current assets increased two percent compared to December 31, 2011, primarily due to an increase in inventory levels as a result of the decline in demand occurring more quickly than anticipated and an increase in accounts receivable, which were partially offset by a decrease in cash and cash equivalents.
Current liabilities decreased two percent compared to December 31, 2011, primarily due to a decrease in accrued compensation, benefits and retirement costs due to variable compensation payouts, which were partially offset by higher accounts and loans payable.
Cash Flows
Cash and cash equivalents decreased $ 339 million during the six month period ended July 1, 2012, compared to an $88 million increase in cash and cash equivalents during the comparable period in 2011. The change in cash and cash equivalents was as follows:
Operating Activities

Pension contributions in excess of expense

(149

(342

(347
Net cash provided by operating activities decreased for the six months ended July 1, 2012, versus the comparable period in 2011, primarily due to unfavorable working capital fluctuations and lower deferred income taxes, which were partially offset by higher consolidated net income including the 2011 non-cash gain on disposition of certain assets and liabilities of our exhaust business. During the first six months of 2012, the net increase in working capital assets resulted in a cash outflow of $714 million compared to a cash outflow of $316 million during the first six months of 2011. This change of $398 million was primarily driven by lower accrued expenses and a smaller increase in accounts payable than the comparable period, which were partially offset by a smaller increase in accounts and notes receivable.
The funded status of our pension plans is dependent upon a variety of variables and assumptions including return on invested assets, market interest rates and levels of voluntary contributions to the plans. The return for our U.S. plan was above seven percent for the six months ended July 1, 2012, while our U.K. plan return declined from the rate achieved in the first quarter to approximately two percent for the six month period, which was the result of a deterioration in the financial markets in Europe. Approximately 89 percent of our pension plan assets are invested in highly liquid investments such as equity and fixed income securities. The remaining 11 percent of our plan assets are invested in less liquid, but market valued investments, including real estate and private equity. We made $84 million of pension contributions in the six months ended July 1, 2012, and we anticipate making total contributions of approximately $130 million to our pension plans in 2012. Expected contributions to our defined benefit pension plans in 2012 will meet or exceed the current funding requirements. Claims and premiums for other postretirement benefits are expected to approximate $51 million, net of reimbursements, in 2012. The $84 million of pension contributions in the six months ended July 1, 2012, included voluntary contributions of $73 million. These contributions and payments include payments from our funds either to increase pension plan assets or to make direct payments to plan participants.

(199
Net cash used in investing activities increased for the six months ended July 1, 2012, versus the comparable period in 2011, primarily due to proceeds from the 2011 disposition of certain assets and liabilities of our exhaust business, which did not repeat in 2012, and increased capital expenditures.
Capital expenditures for the six month period ended July 1, 2012, were $266 million compared to $215 million in the comparable period in 2011. We continue to invest in new product lines and targeted capacity expansions, and we plan to spend approximately $750 million to $800 million in 2012. Approximately one-half of our capital expenditures will be invested outside of the U.S.
We expect total cash investments for acquisitions, including acquisition activity completed during the first six months, to be approximately $205 million by the end of the third quarter of 2012.
Financing Activities
177
127
Net cash used in financing activities decreased for the six months ended July 1, 2012, versus the comparable period in 2011, primarily due to significantly lower repurchases of common stock, which was partially offset by higher dividend payments.
Our total debt was $794 million as of July 1, 2012, compared with $783 million as of December 31, 2011. Total debt as a percent of our total capital, including total long-term debt, was 11.0 percent at July 1, 2012, compared with 11.8 percent at December 31, 2011.
In February 2011, the Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase program and authorized the acquisition of up to $1 billion of our common stock. In 2012, we made the following quarterly purchases under this plan:

Credit Ratings
A number of our contractual obligations and financing agreements, such as our revolving credit facility have restrictive covenants and/or pricing modifications that may be triggered in the event of downward revisions to our corporate credit rating. There were no downgrades of our credit ratings in the second quarter of 2012 that have impacted these covenants or pricing modifications.
Credit ratings are not recommendations to buy, are subject to change and each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating. In addition, we undertake no obligation to update disclosures concerning our credit ratings, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Our ratings and outlook from each of the credit rating agencies as of the date of filing are shown in the table below.

APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
A summary of our significant accounting policies is included in Note 1, SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of our 2011 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. 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 estimate requires management to make assumptions about matters that were highly uncertain at the time the estimate was made; different estimates reasonably could have been used; or if changes in the estimate 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 our Board of Directors. We believe our critical accounting estimates include those addressing the estimation of liabilities for warranty programs, recoverability of investment related to new products, accounting for income taxes and pension benefits.
A discussion of all other critical accounting estimates may be found in the Managements Discussion and Analysis section of our 2011 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 2012.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
A discussion of quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk may be found in Item 7A of our 2011 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes in this information since the filing of our 2011 Form 10-K. Further information regarding financial instruments and risk management is discussed in Note 11, DERIVATIVES, in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended July 1, 2012, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings
ITEM 1A. Risk Factors
In addition to other information set forth in this report, you should consider other risk factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K or the CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION 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.

(1) Shares purchased represent shares under the 2011 Board of Directors authorized $1 billion repurchase program and our Key Employee Stock Investment Plan established in 1969 (there is no maximum repurchase limitation in this plan).
(2) These values reflect the sum of shares held in loan status under our Key Employee Stock Investment Plan. The repurchase program authorized by the Board of Directors does not limit the number of shares that may be purchased and was excluded from this column.
In February 2011, the Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase program and authorized the acquisition of up to $1 billion of our common stock. As of July 1, 2012, we have $ 286 million available for purchase under this authorization.
During the three month period ended July 1, 2012, we repurchased 3,996 shares from employees in connection with the Key Employee Stock Investment Plan which allows certain employees, other than officers, to purchase shares of common stock 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. We hold participants shares as security for the loans and would, in effect repurchase shares if the participant defaulted in repayment of the loan. There is no maximum amount of shares that we may purchase under this plan.
