REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Benefits Policy Committee and
  Participants of the Cummins Inc. and
  Affiliates Retirement and Savings Plan for Lubricant
 Consultants, Inc. Employees
Columbus, Indiana

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the Cummins Inc. and Affiliates Retirement and Savings Plan for Lubricant Consultants, Inc. Employees (the "Plan") as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2006.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan's internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2006, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

1.   DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

The following description of the Cummins Inc. and Affiliates Retirement and Savings Plan for Lubricant Consultants, Inc. Employees (the "Plan") provides only general information.  Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions.  As of December 31, 2006, the Plan was merged into the Cummins Inc. and Affiliates Retirement and Savings Plan for Salaried and Non-Bargaining Hourly Employees.

General

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

Master Trust

The Cummins Inc. and Affiliates Retirement and Savings Plans Master Trust ("Master Trust") held the assets of the Plan and the following Company-sponsored plans:

• Cummins Inc. and Affiliates Retirement and Savings Plan for Salaried and Non-Bargaining Hourly Employees;

• Cummins Inc. and Affiliates Retirement and Savings Plan for Onan Corporation Employees;

• Cummins Inc. and Affiliates Retirement and Savings Plan for Bargaining Unit Employees;

• Cummins Inc. and Affiliates Retirement and Savings Plan for Consolidated Diesel Company, Inc. Employees; and

• Nelson Retirement and Savings Plan

The trustee for the Master Trust was The Vanguard Group until July 2005 when State Street Corporation was appointed as trustee.

Participant Accounts

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

Vesting

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

Benefit Payments

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

Voting Rights

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

Plan Termination

As aforementioned, the Plan was merged into the Cummins Inc. and Affiliates Retirement and Savings Plan for Salaried and Non-Bargaining Hourly Employees effective December 31, 2006.  Prior to the merger, the Plan had been frozen and no further contributions were being made.

2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Investments

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

Allocation of Master Trust Assets and Transactions

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

Use of Estimates

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

Risks and Uncertainties

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

3.   INVESTMENTS IN MASTER TRUST

The Plan's investments are held in the Master Trust.  At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Plan's interest in the net assets of the Master Trust was 0% and .04%.  The following investments are held by the Master Trust as of December 31:

The fixed income fund portion of the Master Trust comprises several fully benefit-responsive insurance and investment contracts.  This fund includes both open-ended, security-backed investments as well as closed-ended, general account investments maturing through 2009.  The contracts have varying yields which averaged 4.87 percent and 4.75 percent during the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.  The contracts have varying crediting interest rates which averaged 4.93 percent and 4.66 percent during the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.  The crediting interest rates adjust on varying intervals by contract.  There are no reserves against contract value for credit risk of the contract issuer or otherwise.

The fixed income fund's key objectives are to provide preservation of principal, maintain a stable interest rate, and provide daily liquidity at contract value for participant withdrawals and transfers in accordance with the provision of the Plans.  To accomplish these objectives, the fixed income fund invests primarily in investment contracts such as traditional guaranteed investment contracts (GICs) and wrapper contracts (also known as synthetic GICs).  In a traditional GIC, the issuer takes a deposit from the fixed income fund and purchases investments that are held in the issuer's general account.  The issuer is contractually obligated to repay the principal and a specified rate of interest guaranteed to the fixed income fund.

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

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

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

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

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

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

4.   TAX STATUS

The Plan received a favorable determination letter dated June 10, 1996 in which the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") stated that the Plan, as then designed, was in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code").  The Plan had been amended since receiving that determination letter.  The Company and its counsel believed that the Plan was designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code.  Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the Plan's financial statements.

5.   RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Certain Master Trust investments are or were shares of mutual funds managed by The Vanguard Group, State Street Corporation and shares of Cummins Inc.  The Vanguard Group was the trustee of the Master Trust through early July 2005 and then State Street Corporation became the Master Trust trustee.  Cummins Inc. is the Plan Sponsor.  Hewitt Associates, LLC served as the Plans' third party administrator.  Blue & Co., LLC served as the Plans' auditor.  INVESCO Institutional (N.A.), Inc. served as the investment manager of the Plan's fixed income fund.  Transactions with these parties qualify as party-in-interest transactions.
