NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1.A.  Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of (a) the consolidated results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, (b) the consolidated financial position at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, (c) the consolidated changes in stockholders’ equity for the six month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, and (d) the consolidated statement of cash flow for the six month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.  The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).  Certain amounts for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period financial statement presentation.

Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in our Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, as supplemented by the Company’s current report on Form 8-K filed on May 23, 2011 (2010 Form 10-K) to reflect the change in our reportable segments as discussed in Note 14.

The Company revised previously reported cash flows from operating and investing activities for the six month period ended June 30, 2010 to adjust for the impact of accrued but unpaid capital expenditures.  Cash provided by operating activities increased from the amount previously reported by $168 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2010, and cash flow from investing activities decreased by the same amount.  Management has concluded that the impact was not material to the six month period.

The December 31, 2010 financial position data included herein is derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the 2010 Form 10-K but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.

B.  Nature of Operations

Information in our financial statements and related commentary are presented in the following categories:

Machinery and Power Systems – Represents the aggregate total of Construction Industries, Resource Industries, Power Systems, and All Other segments and related corporate items and eliminations.

Financial Products – Primarily includes the company’s Financial Products Segment.  This category includes Caterpillar Financial Services Corporation (Cat Financial), Caterpillar Insurance Holdings Inc. (Cat Insurance) and their respective subsidiaries.

As discussed in Note 14 – Segment Information, during the first quarter of 2011, we revised our reportable segments in line with the changes to our organizational structure that were announced during 2010.  The 2010 financial information has been retrospectively adjusted to conform to the 2011 presentation.

C.  Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) and its components are presented in Consolidated Statement of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity.   Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, consisted of the following:

(Millions of dollars)	June 30, 2011	June 30, 2010
Foreign currency translation	$863	$175
Pension and other postretirement benefits	(4,499)	(4,293)
Derivative financial instruments	36	43
Available-for-sale securities	56	30
Total accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)	$(3,544)	$(4,045)

2.New Accounting Guidance

Fair value measurements - In January 2010, the FASB issued accounting guidance that requires the gross presentation of activity within the Level 3 fair value measurement roll forward and details of transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2 fair value measurements.  It also clarifies existing disclosure requirements regarding the level of disaggregation of fair value measurements and disclosures on inputs.  We adopted this new accounting guidance for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2010.  The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements.  See Note 17 for additional information.

Accounting for transfers of financial assets - In June 2009, the FASB issued accounting guidance on accounting for transfers of financial assets.  This guidance amends previous guidance and includes: the elimination of the qualifying special-purpose entity (QSPE) concept; a new participating interest definition that must be met for transfers of portions of financial assets to be eligible for sale accounting; clarifications and changes to the derecognition criteria for a transfer to be accounted for as a sale; and a change to the amount of recognized gain or loss on a transfer of financial assets accounted for as a sale when beneficial interests are received by the transferor.  Additionally, the guidance requires extensive new disclosures regarding an entity’s involvement in a transfer of financial assets.  Finally, existing QSPEs (prior to the effective date of this guidance) must be evaluated for consolidation by reporting entities in accordance with the applicable consolidation guidance upon the elimination of this concept.  We adopted this new guidance on January 1, 2010.  The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements.  See Note 15 for additional information.

Consolidation of variable interest entities - In June 2009, the FASB issued accounting guidance on the consolidation of VIEs.  This new guidance revises previous guidance by eliminating the exemption for qualifying special purpose entities, by establishing a new approach for determining who should consolidate a VIE and by changing when it is necessary to reassess who should consolidate a VIE.  We adopted this new guidance on January 1, 2010.  The adoption of this guidance resulted in the consolidation of QSPEs related to Cat Financial’s asset-backed securitization program that were previously not recorded on our consolidated financial statements.  The restricted assets (Receivables-finance, Long-term receivables-finance, Prepaid expenses and other current assets, and Other assets) of the consolidated QSPEs totaled $324 million at January 1, 2010.  The liabilities (Accrued expenses, Long-term debt due within one year-Financial Products and Long-term debt due after one year-Financial Products) of the consolidated QSPEs totaled $327 million at January 1, 2010.  See Note 15 for additional information.

Disclosures about the credit quality of financing receivables and the allowance for credit losses - In July 2010, the FASB issued accounting guidance on disclosures about the credit quality of financing receivables and the allowance for credit losses.  The guidance expands disclosures for the allowance for credit losses and financing receivables by requiring entities to disclose information at disaggregated levels.  It also requires disclosure of credit quality indicators, past due information and modifications of financing receivables.  Also, in April 2011, the FASB issued guidance clarifying when a restructuring of a receivable should be considered a troubled debt restructuring by providing additional guidance for determining whether the creditor has granted a concession and whether the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties.  For end of period balances, the new disclosures were effective December 31, 2010 and did not have a material impact on our financial statements.  For activity during a reporting period, the disclosures were effective January 1, 2011 and did not have a material impact on our financial statements.  The disclosures related to modifications of financing receivables, as well as the guidance clarifying when a restructured receivable should be considered a troubled debt restructuring will be effective July 1, 2011, and we do not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our financial statements.  See Note 15 for additional information.

Presentation of comprehensive income – In June 2011, the FASB issued accounting guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income.  The guidance provides two options for presenting net income and other comprehensive income.  The total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income may be presented in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements.  This guidance will be effective January 1, 2012 and we do not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our financial statements.

3.Stock-Based Compensation

Accounting for stock-based compensation requires that the cost resulting from all stock-based payments be recognized in the financial statements based on the grant date fair value of the award.  Stock-based compensation primarily consists of stock-settled stock appreciation rights (SARs), restricted stock units (RSUs) and stock options.  We recognized pretax stock-based compensation cost in the amount of $67 million and $111 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively; and $97 million and $138 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively.

9

The following table illustrates the type and fair value of the stock-based compensation awards granted during the six month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively:

	2011		2010
	# Granted	Fair Value Per Award	# Granted	Fair Value Per Award
SARs	2,722,689	$36.73	7,125,210	$22.31
RSUs	1,082,032	97.51	1,711,771	53.35
Stock options	237,906	36.73	431,271	22.31

The stock price on the date of grant was $102.13 and $57.85 for 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The following table provides the assumptions used in determining the fair value of the stock-based awards for the six month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively:

	Grant Year
	2011	2010
Weighted-average dividend yield	2.22%	2.32%
Weighted-average volatility	32.7%	36.4%
Range of volatilities	20.9-45.4%	35.2-51.8%
Range of risk-free interest rates	0.25-3.51%	0.32-3.61%
Weighted-average expected lives	8 years	7 years

As of June 30, 2011, the total remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested stock-based compensation awards was $239 million, which will be amortized over the weighted-average remaining requisite service periods of approximately 2.2 years.

4.Derivative Financial Instruments and Risk Management

Our earnings and cash flow are subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices.  In addition, the amount of Caterpillar stock that can be repurchased under our stock repurchase program is impacted by movements in the price of the stock.  Our Risk Management Policy (policy) allows for the use of derivative financial instruments to prudently manage foreign currency exchange rate, interest rate, commodity price and Caterpillar stock price exposures.  Our policy specifies that derivatives are not to be used for speculative purposes.  Derivatives that we use are primarily foreign currency forward and option contracts, interest rate swaps, commodity forward and option contracts, and stock repurchase contracts.  Our derivative activities are subject to the management, direction and control of our senior financial officers.  Risk management practices, including the use of financial derivative instruments, are presented to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors at least annually.

All derivatives are recognized on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position at their fair value. On the date the derivative contract is entered into, we designate the derivative as (1) a hedge of the fair value of a recognized asset or liability (fair value hedge), (2) a hedge of a forecasted transaction or the variability of cash flow to be paid (cash flow hedge), or (3) an undesignated instrument. Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is qualified, designated and highly effective as a fair value hedge, along with the gain or loss on the hedged recognized asset or liability that is attributable to the hedged risk, are recorded in current earnings. Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is qualified, designated and highly effective as a cash flow hedge are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (AOCI) on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position until they are reclassified to earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings.  Changes in the fair value of undesignated derivative instruments and the ineffective portion of designated derivative instruments are reported in current earnings. Cash flow from designated derivative financial instruments is classified within the same category as the item being hedged on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flow.  Cash flow from undesignated derivative financial instruments is included in the investing category on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flow.

We formally document all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as the risk-management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions.  This process includes linking all derivatives that are designated as fair value hedges to specific assets and liabilities on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and linking cash flow hedges to specific forecasted transactions or variability of cash flow.

10

We also formally assess, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the designated derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flow of hedged items.  When a derivative is determined not to be highly effective as a hedge or the underlying hedged transaction is no longer probable, we discontinue hedge accounting prospectively, in accordance with the derecognition criteria for hedge accounting.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

Foreign currency exchange rate movements create a degree of risk by affecting the U.S. dollar value of sales made and costs incurred in foreign currencies. Movements in foreign currency rates also affect our competitive position as these changes may affect business practices and/or pricing strategies of non-U.S.-based competitors. Additionally, we have balance sheet positions denominated in foreign currencies, thereby creating exposure to movements in exchange rates.

Our Machinery and Power Systems operations purchase, manufacture and sell products in many locations around the world. As we have a diversified revenue and cost base, we manage our future foreign currency cash flow exposure on a net basis. We use foreign currency forward and option contracts to manage unmatched foreign currency cash inflow and outflow. Our objective is to minimize the risk of exchange rate movements that would reduce the U.S. dollar value of our foreign currency cash flow. Our policy allows for managing anticipated foreign currency cash flow for up to five years.

We generally designate as cash flow hedges at inception of the contract any Australian dollar, Brazilian real, British pound, Canadian dollar, Chinese yuan, euro, Indian rupee, Japanese yen, Mexican peso, Singapore dollar or Swiss franc forward or option contracts that meet the requirements for hedge accounting and the maturity extends beyond the current quarter-end. Designation is performed on a specific exposure basis to support hedge accounting. The remainder of Machinery and Power Systems foreign currency contracts are undesignated, including any hedges designed to protect our competitive exposure.  Periodically we also designate as fair value hedges specific euro forward contracts used to hedge firm commitments.

As of June 30, 2011, $68 million of deferred net gains, net of tax, included in equity (Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position), are expected to be reclassified to current earnings (Other income (expense) in the Consolidated Statement of Results of Operations) over the next twelve months when earnings are affected by the hedged transactions.  The actual amount recorded in Other income (expense) will vary based on exchange rates at the time the hedged transactions impact earnings.

In managing foreign currency risk for our Financial Products operations, our objective is to minimize earnings volatility resulting from conversion and the remeasurement of net foreign currency balance sheet positions. Our policy allows the use of foreign currency forward and option contracts to offset the risk of currency mismatch between our receivables and debt. All such foreign currency forward and option contracts are undesignated.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate movements create a degree of risk by affecting the amount of our interest payments and the value of our fixed-rate debt. Our practice is to use interest rate derivatives to manage our exposure to interest rate changes and, in some cases, lower the cost of borrowed funds.

Our Machinery and Power Systems operations generally use fixed-rate debt as a source of funding.  Our objective is to minimize the cost of borrowed funds.  Our policy allows us to enter into fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps and forward rate agreements to meet that objective with the intent to designate as fair value hedges at inception of the contract all fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps.  Designation as a hedge of the fair value of our fixed-rate debt is performed to support hedge accounting.

Financial Products operations has a match-funding policy that addresses interest rate risk by aligning the interest rate profile (fixed or floating rate) of Cat Financial’s debt portfolio with the interest rate profile of their receivables portfolio within predetermined ranges on an ongoing basis. In connection with that policy, we use interest rate derivative instruments to modify the debt structure to match assets within the receivables portfolio. This matched funding reduces the volatility of margins between interest-bearing assets and interest-bearing liabilities, regardless of which direction interest rates move.

Our policy allows us to use fixed-to-floating, floating-to-fixed, and floating-to-floating interest rate swaps to meet the match-funding objective.  We designate fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps as fair value hedges to protect debt against changes in fair value due to changes in the benchmark interest rate.  We designate most floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges to protect against the variability of cash flows due to changes in the benchmark interest rate.

11

As of June 30, 2011, $5 million of deferred net losses, net of tax, included in equity (Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position), related to Financial Products floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps, are expected to be reclassified to current earnings (Interest expense of Financial Products in the Consolidated Statement of Results of Operations) over the next twelve months.  The actual amount recorded in Interest expense of Financial Products will vary based on interest rates at the time the hedged transactions impact earnings.

We have, at certain times, liquidated fixed-to-floating and floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps at both Machinery and Power Systems and Financial Products.  The gains or losses associated with these swaps at the time of liquidation are amortized into earnings over the original term of the underlying hedged item.

In anticipation of issuing debt for the planned acquisition of Bucyrus International, Inc., we entered into interest rate swaps to manage our exposure to interest rate changes.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, we recognized a net loss of $124 million and $149 million, respectively, included in Other income (expense) in the Consolidated Statement of Results of Operations.  These contracts were not designated as hedging instruments, and therefore, did not receive hedge accounting treatment.  The contracts were liquidated in conjunction with the debt issuance in May 2011.

Commodity Price Risk

Commodity price movements create a degree of risk by affecting the price we must pay for certain raw material. Our policy is to use commodity forward and option contracts to manage the commodity risk and reduce the cost of purchased materials.

Our Machinery and Power Systems operations purchase base and precious metals embedded in the components we purchase from suppliers.  Our suppliers pass on to us price changes in the commodity portion of the component cost. In addition, we are subject to price changes on energy products such as natural gas and diesel fuel purchased for operational use.

Our objective is to minimize volatility in the price of these commodities. Our policy allows us to enter into commodity forward and option contracts to lock in the purchase price of a portion of these commodities within a five-year horizon. All such commodity forward and option contracts are undesignated.

Stock Repurchase Risk

Payments for stock repurchase derivatives are accounted for as a reduction in stockholders’ equity.  In February 2007, the Board of Directors authorized a $7.5 billion stock repurchase program, expiring on December 31, 2011.  The amount of Caterpillar stock that can be repurchased under the authorization is impacted by movements in the price of the stock.  In August 2007, the Board of Directors authorized the use of derivative contracts to reduce stock repurchase price volatility.  There were no stock repurchase derivatives outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 or 2010.

B.  Goodwill

We test goodwill for impairment annually and whenever events or circumstances make it more likely than not that an impairment may have occurred.  We perform our annual goodwill impairment test as of October 1 and monitor for interim triggering events on an ongoing basis.  Goodwill is reviewed for impairment utilizing a two-step process.  The first step requires us to compare the fair value of each reporting unit, which we primarily determine using an income approach based on the present value of discounted cash flows, to the respective carrying value, which includes goodwill.  If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, the goodwill is not considered impaired.  If the carrying value is greater than the fair value, there is an indication that an impairment may exist and the second step is required.  Additionally, if the carrying amount of a reporting unit is zero or negative, the second step of the goodwill impairment test is also required if an analysis of qualitative factors indicates it more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists.  In step two, the implied fair value of goodwill is calculated as the excess of the fair value of a reporting unit over the fair values assigned to its assets and liabilities.  If the implied fair value of goodwill is less than the carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill, the difference is recognized as an impairment loss.  No goodwill was impaired during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 or 2010.

17

As discussed in Note 14 – Segment Information, during the first quarter of 2011, we revised our reportable segments in line with the changes to our organizational structure that were announced during 2010.  Our reporting units did not change as a result of the changes to our reportable segments.

The changes in the carrying amount of the goodwill by reportable segment for the six months ended June 30, 2011 were as follows:

8.Available-For-Sale Securities

We have investments in certain debt and equity securities, primarily at Cat Insurance, that have been classified as available-for-sale and recorded at fair value based upon quoted market prices. These fair values are primarily included in Other assets in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. Unrealized gains and losses arising from the revaluation of available-for-sale securities are included, net of applicable deferred income taxes, in equity (Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position).  Realized gains and losses on sales of investments are generally determined using the FIFO (first-in, first-out) method for debt instruments and the specific identification method for equity securities.  Realized gains and losses are included in Other income (expense) in the Consolidated Statement of Results of Operations.

Corporate Bonds.  The unrealized losses on our investments in corporate bonds and asset-backed securities relate primarily to changes in interest rates and credit-related yield spreads since time of purchase.  We do not intend to sell the investments and it is not likely that we will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis.  We do not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of June 30, 2011.

Mortgage-Backed Debt Securities.  The unrealized losses on our investments in mortgage-backed securities and mortgage-related asset-backed securities relate primarily to the continuation of elevated housing delinquencies and default rates, risk aversion and credit-related yield spreads since time of purchase.  We do not intend to sell the investments and it is not likely that we will be required to sell these investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis.  We do not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of June 30, 2011.

Equity Securities.  Cat Insurance maintains a well-diversified equity portfolio consisting of two specific mandates:  large capitalization value stocks and smaller company growth stocks.  U.S. equity valuations were generally lower for the three months ended June 30, 2011 as concerns linger over Europe’s debt crisis and the U.S. economy’s recovery.  In each case where unrealized losses exist, the respective company’s management is taking corrective action in order to increase shareholder value.   We do not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of June 30, 2011.

The fair value of the available-for-sale debt securities at June 30, 2011, by contractual maturity, is shown below. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to prepay and creditors may have the right to call obligations.

9.Postretirement Benefits

A.  Pension and postretirement benefit costs

As announced in August 2010, on January 1, 2011, our retirement benefits for U.S. support and management employees began transitioning from defined benefit pension plans to defined contribution plans.  The transition date was determined for each employee based upon age and years of service or proximity to retirement.  Pension benefit accruals were frozen for certain employees on December 31, 2010, and will freeze for remaining employees on December 31, 2019.  As of these dates employees will move to the new retirement benefit that will provide a frozen pension benefit and a 401(k) plan that will include a matching contribution and a new annual employer contribution.  The plan change required a re-measurement as of August 31, 2010, which resulted in an increase in our Liability for postemployment benefits of $1.32 billion and a decrease in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) of $831 million net of tax.  The increase in the liability was due to a decline in the discount rate and lower than expected asset returns at the re-measurement date.  Curtailment expense of $28 million was also recognized for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 as a result of the plan change.

In March 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (the PPACA) and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (H.R. 4872) which amends certain provisions of the PPACA were signed into law.  As discussed in Note 13, the Medicare Part D retiree drug subsidies effectively become taxable beginning in 2013.

1Prior service costs for both pension and other postretirement benefits are generally amortized using the straight-line method over the average remaining service period to the full retirement eligibility date of employees expected to receive benefits from the plan amendment. For other postretirement benefit plans in which all or almost all of the plan’s participants are fully eligible for benefits under the plan, prior service costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the remaining life expectancy of those participants. 2Curtailments, settlements and special termination benefits were recognized in Other operating (income) expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Results of Operations.

We made $104 million and $235 million of contributions to our U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively. We currently anticipate full-year 2011 contributions of approximately $1 billion, most of which are voluntary contributions. We made $300 million and $548 million of contributions to our U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively.

B.  Defined contribution benefit costs

From June 2009 to October 2010, we funded our employer matching contribution for certain U.S. defined contribution plans in Caterpillar stock, held as treasury stock.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, we made $33 million (0.5 million shares) and $62 million (1 million shares) of matching contributions in Caterpillar stock, respectively.

On January 1, 2011, matching contributions to our U.S. 401(k) plan changed for certain employees that are still accruing benefits under a defined benefit pension plan.  Matching contributions changed from 100% of employee contributions to the plan up to six percent of their compensation to 50% of employee contributions up to six percent of compensation.  For employees whose defined benefit pension accruals were frozen as of December 31, 2010, we began providing a new annual employer contribution in 2011, which ranges from three to five percent of compensation, depending on years of service and age.

Total company costs related to U.S. and non-U.S. defined contribution plans were as follows:

	Three Months Ended June 30,		Six Months Ended June 30,
(Millions of dollars)	2011	2010	2011	2010

10.Guarantees and Product Warranty

We have provided an indemnity to a third-party insurance company for potential losses related to performance bonds issued on behalf of Caterpillar dealers.  The bonds are issued to insure governmental agencies against nonperformance by certain dealers.  We also provided guarantees to a third party related to the performance of contractual obligations by certain Caterpillar dealers. The guarantees cover potential financial losses incurred by the third party resulting from the dealers’ nonperformance.

We provide loan guarantees to third-party lenders for financing associated with machinery purchased by customers. These guarantees have varying terms and are secured by the machinery. In addition, Cat Financial participates in standby letters of credit issued to third parties on behalf of their customers. These standby letters of credit have varying terms and beneficiaries and are secured by customer assets.

Cat Financial has provided a limited indemnity to a third-party bank resulting from the assignment of certain leases to that bank.  The indemnity is for the possibility that the insurers of these leases would become insolvent.  The indemnity expires December 15, 2012 and is unsecured.

No loss has been experienced or is anticipated under any of these guarantees.  At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the related liability was $7 million and $10 million, respectively.  The maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted and without reduction for any amounts that may possibly be recovered under recourse or collateralized provisions) we could be required to make under the guarantees are as follows:

(Millions of dollars)	June 30,	December 31,
	2011	2010
Guarantees with Caterpillar dealers	$154	$185
Guarantees with customers	158	170
Limited indemnity	14	17
Guarantees – other	30	48
Total guarantees	$356	$420

Cat Financial provides guarantees to repurchase certain loans of Caterpillar dealers from a special-purpose corporation (SPC) that qualifies as a variable interest entity.  The purpose of the SPC is to provide short-term working capital loans to Caterpillar dealers.  This SPC issues commercial paper and uses the proceeds to fund its loan program.  Cat Financial has a loan purchase agreement with the SPC that obligates Cat Financial to purchase certain loans that are not paid at maturity.  Cat Financial receives a fee for providing this guarantee, which provides a source of liquidity for the SPC.  Cat Financial is the primary beneficiary of the SPC as our guarantees result in Cat Financial having both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the SPC’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses, and therefore Cat Financial has consolidated the financial statements of the SPC.  As of  June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the SPC’s assets of $540 million and $365 million, respectively, are primarily comprised of loans to dealers and the SPC’s liabilities of $540 million and $365 million, respectively are primarily comprised of commercial paper.  No loss has been experienced or is anticipated under this loan purchase agreement.  Cat Financial’s assets are not available to pay creditors of the SPC, except to the extent Cat Financial may be obligated to perform under the guarantee, and assets of the SPC are not available to pay Cat Financial’s creditors.

Our product warranty liability is determined by applying historical claim rate experience to the current field population and dealer inventory.  Generally, historical claim rates are based on actual warranty experience for each product by machine model/engine size.  Specific rates are developed for each product build month and are updated monthly based on actual warranty claim experience.

SARs and stock options to purchase 2,940,143 common shares were outstanding for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, there were outstanding SARs and stock options to purchase 12,465,174 and 25,871,262 common shares, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

12.Environmental and Legal Matters

The company is regulated by federal, state and international environmental laws governing our use, transport and disposal of substances and control of emissions. In addition to governing our manufacturing and other operations, these laws often impact the development of our products, including, but not limited to, required compliance with air emissions standards applicable to internal combustion engines. Compliance with these existing laws has not had a material impact on our capital expenditures, earnings or global competitive position.

We are engaged in remedial activities at a number of locations, often with other companies, pursuant to federal and state laws.  When it is probable we will pay remedial costs at a site and those costs can be reasonably estimated, the costs are charged against our earnings.  In formulating that estimate, we do not consider amounts expected to be recovered from insurance companies or others.  The amount recorded for environmental remediation is not material and is included in Accrued expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

We cannot reasonably estimate costs at sites in the very early stages of remediation.  Currently, we have a few sites in the very early stages of remediation, and there is no more than a remote chance that a material amount for remedial activities at any individual site, or at all sites in the aggregate, will be required.

23

We have disclosed certain individual legal proceedings in this filing.  Additionally, we are involved in other unresolved legal actions that arise in the normal course of business. The most prevalent of these unresolved actions involve disputes related to product design, manufacture and performance liability (including claimed asbestos and welding fumes exposure), contracts, employment issues, environmental matters or intellectual property rights.  The aggregate range of reasonably possible losses in excess of accrued liabilities, if any, associated with these unresolved legal actions is not material.  In some cases, we cannot reasonably estimate a range of loss because there is insufficient information regarding the matter.  However, there is no more than a remote chance that any liability arising from these matters would be material.  Although it is not possible to predict with certainty the outcome of these unresolved legal actions, we believe that these actions will not individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

On May 14, 2007, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a Notice of Violation to Caterpillar Inc., alleging various violations of Clean Air Act Sections 203, 206 and 207. EPA claims that Caterpillar violated such sections by shipping engines and catalytic converter after-treatment devices separately, introducing into commerce a number of uncertified and/or misbuilt engines, and failing to timely report emissions-related defects.  On July 9, 2010, the Department of Justice issued a penalty demand to Caterpillar seeking a civil penalty of $3.2 million and implementation of injunctive relief involving expanded use of certain technologies. On July 28, 2011, EPA and the U.S. Department of Justice filed and lodged a civil complaint and consent decree with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia regarding the matter.   Caterpillar has agreed to the terms of the consent decree, which require payment of a civil penalty of $2.55 million, retirement of a small number of emissions credits and expanded defect-related reporting.  If approved by the U.S. District Court after expiration of the mandatory public comment period, the consent decree will resolve this matter.  Under the terms of the consent decree, and subject to a settlement agreement, $510,000 of the stipulated $2.55 million penalty will be paid to the California Air Resources Board relating to engines covered by the consent decree that were placed into service in California.

On February 8, 2009, an incident at Caterpillar’s Joliet, Illinois facility resulted in the release of approximately 3,000 gallons of wastewater into the Des Plaines River.  In coordination with state and federal authorities, appropriate remediation measures have been taken.  On February 23, 2009, the Illinois Attorney General filed a Complaint in Will County Circuit Court containing seven counts of violations of state environmental laws and regulations.  Caterpillar settled this matter with the State of Illinois in 2010, resolving all allegations in the Complaint.  This settlement does not have a material adverse impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial position, or liquidity. In addition, on March 5, 2009, the EPA served Caterpillar with a Notice of Intent to file a Civil Administrative Action (notice), indicating the EPA’s intent to seek civil penalties for alleged violations of the Clean Water Act and Oil Pollution Act.  On January 25, 2010, the EPA issued a revised notice seeking civil penalties in the amount of $167,800.  Caterpillar settled this matter with the EPA on July 12, 2011, resolving all allegations in the notice.  This settlement does not have a material adverse impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial position, or liquidity.

In May 2010, an incident at Caterpillar’s Gosselies, Belgium facility resulted in the release of wastewater into the Perupont River.  In coordination with local authorities, appropriate remediation measures have been taken.  In January 2011, Caterpillar learned that the public prosecutor for the Belgian administrative district of Charleroi had referred the matter to an examining magistrate of the civil court of Charleroi for further investigation.  Caterpillar is cooperating with the Belgian authorities on this investigation.  At this time, it is unlikely that penalties will be assessed, and any penalties are unlikely to exceed $100,000.  Management does not believe this matter will have a material adverse impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

13.Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes reflects an estimated annual effective tax rate of 29 percent for the first six months of 2011 and 2010, excluding the discrete items discussed below.   The 2011 estimated annual effective tax rate of 29 percent is higher than the comparable full-year 2010 rate of 25 percent primarily due to an expected change in our geographic mix of profits from a tax perspective.

The provision for income taxes in 2011 also includes a benefit of $113 million due to planned repatriation of non-U.S. earnings with available foreign tax credits in excess of the U.S. tax liability on the dividend offset by a $41 million increase in reserves for prior year unrecognized tax benefits.  The 2010 provision for income taxes included a charge of $90 million due to the enactment of U.S. healthcare legislation, effectively making government subsidies received for Medicare equivalent prescription drug coverage taxable, offset by a $34 million benefit related to the recognition of refund claims for prior tax years and a $26 million benefit for the release of a valuation allowance.

14.Segment Information

A.Basis for segment information

In the first quarter of 2011, we implemented revised internal financial measurements in line with changes to our organizational structure that were announced during 2010.  Our previous structure used a matrix organization comprised of multiple profit and cost center divisions.  There were twenty-five operating segments, twelve of which were reportable segments.  These segments were led by vice-presidents that were managed by Caterpillar’s Executive Office (comprised of our CEO and Group Presidents), which served as our Chief Operating Decision Maker.  As part of the strategy revision, Group Presidents were given accountability for a related set of end-to-end businesses that they manage, a significant change for the company.  The CEO allocates resources and manages performance at the Group President level.  As such, the CEO now serves as our Chief Operating Decision Maker and operating segments are primarily based on the Group President reporting structure.

Three of our operating segments, Construction Industries, Resource Industries and Power Systems, are led by Group Presidents.  One operating segment, Financial Products, is led by a Group President who has responsibility for Corporate Services.  Corporate Services is a cost center primarily responsible for the performance of certain support functions globally and to provide centralized services; it does not meet the definition of an operating segment.  One Group President leads three smaller operating segments that are included in All Other operating segments.

The segment information for 2010 has been retrospectively adjusted to conform to the 2011 presentation.

B.Description of segments

We have seven operating segments, of which four are reportable segments.  Following is a brief description of our reportable segments and the business activities included in all other operating segments:

Construction Industries:  A segment primarily responsible for supporting customers using machinery in infrastructure and building construction applications.  Responsibilities include business strategy, product design, product management and development, manufacturing, marketing, sales and product support.  The product portfolio includes backhoe loaders, small wheel loaders, small track-type tractors, skid steer loaders, multi-terrain loaders, mini excavators, compact wheel loaders, select work tools, small, medium and large track excavators, wheel excavators, medium wheel loaders, medium track-type tractors, track-type loaders, motor graders, pipelayers and related parts.  In addition, Construction Industries has responsibility for Power Systems and components in Japan and an integrated manufacturing cost center that supports Machinery and Power Systems businesses.  Inter-segment sales are a source of revenue for this segment.

Resource Industries:  A segment primarily responsible for supporting customers using machinery in mining and quarrying applications.  Responsibilities include business strategy, product design, product management and development, manufacturing, marketing, sales and product support.  The product portfolio includes large track-type tractors, large mining trucks, underground mining equipment, tunnel boring equipment, large wheel loaders, quarry and construction trucks, articulated trucks, wheel tractor scrapers, wheel dozers, compactors, select work tools, forestry products, paving products, machinery components, electronics and control systems and related parts.  In addition, Resource Industries manages areas that provide services to other parts of the company, including integrated manufacturing, research and development and coordination of the Caterpillar Production System.  Bucyrus will become part of Resource Industries, and Bucyrus acquisition costs impacting operating profit are included in this segment.  Inter-segment sales are a source of revenue for this segment.

Power Systems:  A segment primarily responsible for supporting customers using reciprocating engines, turbines and related parts across industries serving electric power, industrial, petroleum and marine applications as well as rail-related businesses.  Responsibilities include business strategy, product design, product management and development, manufacturing, marketing, sales and product support of reciprocating engine powered generator sets, integrated systems used in the electric power generation industry, reciprocating engines and integrated systems and solutions for the marine and petroleum industries; reciprocating engines supplied to the industrial industry as well as Caterpillar machinery; the business strategy, product design, product management and development, manufacturing, marketing, sales and product support of turbines and turbine related services; the business strategy, product design, product management and development, manufacturing, remanufacturing, maintenance, marketing, sales, leasing and service of diesel-electric locomotives and components and other rail-related products and services.  Inter-segment sales are a source of revenue for this segment.

25

Financial Products Segment:  Provides financing to customers and dealers for the purchase and lease of Caterpillar and other equipment, as well as some financing for Caterpillar sales to dealers.  Financing plans include operating and finance leases, installment sale contracts, working capital loans and wholesale financing plans. The division also provides various forms of insurance to customers and dealers to help support the purchase and lease of our equipment.

All Other:  Primarily includes activities such as: the remanufacturing of Cat engines and components and remanufacturing services for other companies as well as the business strategy, product design, product management and development, manufacturing, marketing, sales and product support of undercarriage, specialty products, hardened bar stock components and ground engaging tools primarily for Caterpillar products; logistics services for Caterpillar and other companies; the business strategy, product management, product development, marketing, sales and product support of on-highway vocational trucks for North America (U.S. & Canada only); the 50/50 joint venture with Navistar (NC2) which develops, manufactures and distributes on-highway trucks outside North America and India; and distribution services responsible for dealer development and administration, dealer portfolio management and ensuring the most efficient and effective distribution of machines, engines and parts.  Inter-segment sales are a source of revenue for this segment.  Results for All Other operating segments are included as reconciling items between reportable segments and consolidated external reporting.

C.Segment measurement and reconciliations

There are several methodology differences between our segment reporting and our external reporting.  The following is a list of the more significant methodology differences:

·Machinery and Power Systems segment net assets generally include inventories, receivables, property, plant and equipment, goodwill, intangibles and accounts payable.  Liabilities other than accounts payable are generally managed at the corporate level and are not included in segment operations.  Financial Products Segment assets generally include all categories of assets.

·Segment inventories and cost of sales are valued using a current cost methodology.

·Goodwill is amortized using a fixed amount based on a twenty year useful life.  This methodology difference only impacts segment assets; no goodwill amortization expense is included in segment profit.

·The present value of future lease payments for certain Machinery and Power Systems operating leases is included in segment assets.  The estimated financing component of the lease payments is excluded.

·Currency exposures for Machinery and Power Systems are generally managed at the corporate level and the effects of changes in exchange rates on results of operations within the year are not included in segment results.  The net difference created in the translation of revenues and costs between exchange rates used for U.S. GAAP reporting and exchange rates used for segment reporting are recorded as a methodology difference.

·Postretirement benefit expenses are split; segments are generally responsible for service and prior service costs, with the remaining elements of net periodic benefit cost included as a methodology difference.

·Machinery and Power Systems segment profit is determined on a pretax basis and excludes interest expense, gains and losses on interest rate swaps and other income/expense items.  Financial Products Segment profit is determined on a pretax basis and includes other income/expense items.

Reconciling items are created based on accounting differences between segment reporting and our consolidated external reporting. Please refer to pages 28 to 33 for financial information regarding significant reconciling items.  Most of our reconciling items are self-explanatory given the above explanations.  For the reconciliation of profit (loss), we have grouped the reconciling items as follows:

·Corporate costs:  These costs are related to corporate requirements and strategies that are considered to be for the benefit of the entire organization.

·Methodology differences:  See previous discussion of significant accounting differences between segment reporting and consolidated external reporting.

·Timing:   Timing differences in the recognition of costs between segment reporting and consolidated external reporting.

15.Cat Financial Financing Activities

A.Credit quality of financing receivables and allowance for credit losses

Cat Financial adopted the accounting guidance on disclosures about the credit quality of financing receivables and the allowance for credit losses as of December 31, 2010.  See Note 2 for additional information.  This guidance requires information to be disclosed at disaggregated levels, defined as portfolio segments and classes.

Cat Financial applies a systematic methodology to determine the allowance for credit losses for finance receivables.  Based upon Cat Financial’s analysis of credit losses and risk factors, portfolio segments are as follows:

·Customer - Finance receivables with the customer.

·Dealer - Finance receivables with Caterpillar dealers.

Cat Financial further evaluates portfolio segments by the class of finance receivables, which is defined as a level of information (below a portfolio segment) in which the finance receivables have the same initial measurement attribute and a similar method for assessing and monitoring credit risk.  Typically, Cat Financial’s finance receivables within a geographic area have similar credit risk profiles and methods for assessing and monitoring credit risk.  Cat Financial’s classes, which align with management reporting, are as follows:

·North America - Finance receivables originated in the United States or Canada.

·Europe - Finance receivables originated in Europe, Africa, Middle East and the Commonwealth of Independent States.

·Asia Pacific - Finance receivables originated in Australia, New Zealand, China, Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia, as well as large mining customers worldwide.

·Latin America - Finance receivables originated in Central and South American countries and Mexico.

·Global Power Finance - Finance receivables related to marine vessels with Caterpillar engines worldwide and Caterpillar electrical power generation, gas compression and co-generation systems and non-Caterpillar equipment that is powered by these systems worldwide.

Impaired loans and finance leases

For all classes, a loan or finance lease is considered impaired, based on current information and events, if it is probable that Cat Financial will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan or finance lease.  Loans and finance leases reviewed for impairment include loans and finance leases that are past due, non-performing or in bankruptcy. Recognition of income is suspended and the loan or finance lease is placed on non-accrual status when management determines that collection of future income is not probable (generally after 120 days past due).  Accrual is resumed, and previously suspended income is recognized, when the loan or finance lease becomes contractually current

33

and/or collection doubts are removed.  Cash receipts on impaired loans or finance leases are recorded against the receivable and then to any unrecognized income.

There were no impaired loans or finance leases as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, for the Dealer portfolio segment.  The average recorded investment for impaired loans and finance leases for the Dealer portfolio segment was $31 million and $32 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, all of which was in the Europe finance receivable class.

Individually impaired loans and finance leases for customers were as follows:

Non-accrual and past due loans and finance leases

For all classes, Cat Financial considers a loan or finance lease past due if any portion of a contractual payment is due and unpaid for more than 30 days.  Recognition of income is suspended and the loan or finance lease is placed on non-accrual status when management determines that collection of future income is not probable (generally after 120 days past due).  Accrual is resumed, and previously suspended income is recognized, when the loan or finance lease becomes contractually current and/or collection doubts are removed.

As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, there were no loans or finance leases on non-accrual status for the Dealer portfolio segment.

Credit quality of finance receivables

The credit quality of finance receivables is reviewed on a monthly basis.  Credit quality indicators include performing and non-performing.  Non-performing is defined as finance receivables currently over 120 days past due and/or on non-accrual status or in bankruptcy.  Finance receivables not meeting the criteria listed above are considered performing.  Non-performing receivables have the highest probability for credit loss.  The allowance for credit losses attributable to non-performing receivables is based on the most probable source of repayment, which is normally the liquidation of collateral.  In determining collateral value, Cat Financial estimates the current fair market value of the collateral and considers credit enhancements such as additional collateral and third-party guarantees.

B.           Securitized Retail Installment Sale Contracts and Finance Leases

Cat Financial periodically transfers certain finance receivables relating to retail installment sale contracts and finance leases to SPEs as part of their asset-backed securitization program.  The SPEs have limited purposes and generally are only permitted to purchase the finance receivables, issue asset-backed securities and make payments on the securities.  The SPEs only issue a single series of securities and generally are dissolved when those securities have been paid in full.  The SPEs issue debt to pay for the finance receivables they acquire from Cat Financial.  The primary source for repayment of the debt is the cash flows generated from the finance receivables owned by the SPEs.  The assets of the SPEs are legally isolated and are not available to pay the creditors of Cat Financial.  Cat Financial retains interests in the securitization transactions, including subordinated certificates issued by the SPEs, rights to cash reserves and residual interests.  For bankruptcy analysis purposes, Cat Financial has sold the finance receivables to the SPEs in a true sale and the SPEs are separate legal entities.  The investors and the SPEs have no recourse to any of Cat Financial’s other assets for failure of debtors to pay when due.

In accordance with the new consolidation accounting guidance adopted January 1, 2010, these SPEs were concluded to be VIEs.  Cat Financial determined that it was the primary beneficiary based on its power to direct activities through its role as servicer and its obligation to absorb losses and right to receive benefits and therefore consolidated the entities using the carrying amounts of the SPEs’ assets and liabilities.

On April 25, 2011, Cat Financial exercised a clean-up call on their only outstanding asset-backed securitization transaction.  As a result, Cat Financial had no assets or liabilities related to a consolidated SPE as of June 30, 2011.  The restricted assets (Receivables-finance, Long-term receivables-finance, Prepaid expenses and other current assets, and Other assets) of the consolidated SPEs totaled $136 million at December 31, 2010.  The liabilities (Accrued expenses and Long-term debt due within one year-Financial Products) of the consolidated SPEs totaled $73 million at December 31, 2010.

16.         Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest — Caterpillar Japan Ltd.

On August 1, 2008, Shin Caterpillar Mitsubishi Ltd. (SCM) completed the first phase of a share redemption plan whereby SCM redeemed half of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI’s) shares in SCM.  This resulted in Caterpillar owning 67 percent of the outstanding shares of SCM and MHI owning the remaining 33 percent.  As part of the share redemption, SCM was renamed Caterpillar Japan Ltd. (Cat Japan) and we consolidated its financial statements.  Both Cat Japan and MHI have options, exercisable beginning August 1, 2013, to require the redemption of the remaining shares owned by MHI, which if exercised, would make Caterpillar the sole owner of Cat Japan.

The remaining 33 percent of Cat Japan owned by MHI has been reported as redeemable noncontrolling interest and classified as mezzanine equity (temporary equity) in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. The redeemable noncontrolling interest is reported at its estimated redemption value.  Any adjustment to the redemption value impacts Profit employed in the

business, but does not impact Profit (loss).  If the fair value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest falls below the redemption value, profit available to common stockholders would be reduced by the difference between the redemption value and the fair value.  This would result in lower profit in the profit per common share computation in that period.  Reductions impacting the profit per common share computation may be partially or fully reversed in subsequent periods if the fair value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest increases relative to the redemption value.  Such increases in profit per common share would be limited to cumulative prior reductions.  During 2011, the estimated redemption value decreased, resulting in adjustments to the carrying value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest. Profit employed in the business increased by $8 million due to this adjustment. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the estimated redemption value decreased, resulting in an adjustment to the carrying value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest. Profit employed in the business increased by $18 million due to this adjustment. As of June 30, 2011, the fair value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest remained greater than the estimated redemption value.

We estimate the fair value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest using a discounted five year forecasted cash flow with a year-five residual value.  Based on our current expectations for Cat Japan, we expect the fair value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest to remain greater than the redemption value. However, if economic conditions deteriorate and Cat Japan’s business forecast is negatively impacted, it is possible that the fair value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest may fall below the estimated redemption value. Should this occur, profit would be reduced in the profit per common share computation by the difference between the redemption value and the fair value.  Lower long-term growth rates, reduced long-term profitability as well as changes in interest rates, costs, pricing, capital expenditures and general market conditions may reduce the fair value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest.

With the consolidation of Cat Japan’s results of operations, 33 percent of Cat Japan’s comprehensive income or loss is attributed to the redeemable noncontrolling interest, impacting its carrying value.  Because the redeemable noncontrolling interest must be reported at its estimated future redemption value, the impact from attributing the comprehensive income or loss is offset by adjusting the carrying value to the redemption value.  This adjustment impacts Profit employed in the business, but not Profit (loss).  For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the carrying value had increased by $30 million due to Cat Japan’s comprehensive income.  This resulted in an offsetting adjustment of $30 million to decrease the carrying value to the redemption value and a corresponding increase to Profit employed in the business. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the carrying value had increased by $12 million due to Cat Japan’s comprehensive income. This resulted in an offsetting adjustment of $12 million to decrease the carrying value to the redemption value and a corresponding increase to Profit employed in the business. As Cat Japan’s functional currency is the Japanese yen, changes in exchange rates affect the reported amount of the redeemable noncontrolling interest.  At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 the redeemable noncontrolling interest was $460 million and $461 million, respectively.

17.Fair Value Measurements

A.Fair value measurements

The guidance on fair value measurements defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants.  This guidance also specifies a fair value hierarchy based upon the observability of inputs used in valuation techniques.  Observable inputs (highest level) reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs (lowest level) reflect internally developed market assumptions.  In accordance with this guidance, fair value measurements are classified under the following hierarchy:

·Level 1 — Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

40

·Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs or significant value-drivers are observable in active markets.

·Level 3 — Model-derived valuations in which one or more significant inputs or significant value-drivers are unobservable.

When available, we use quoted market prices to determine fair value, and we classify such measurements within Level 1.  In some cases where market prices are not available, we make use of observable market based inputs to calculate fair value, in which case the measurements are classified within Level 2.  If quoted or observable market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that use, where possible, current market-based parameters such as interest rates, yield curves and currency rates.  These measurements are classified within Level 3.

Fair value measurements are classified according to the lowest level input or value-driver that is significant to the valuation.  A measurement may therefore be classified within Level 3 even though there may be significant inputs that are readily observable.

The guidance on fair value measurements expanded the definition of fair value to include the consideration of nonperformance risk.  Nonperformance risk refers to the risk that an obligation (either by a counterparty or Caterpillar) will not be fulfilled.  For our financial assets traded in an active market (Level 1 and certain Level 2), the nonperformance risk is included in the market price.  For certain other financial assets and liabilities (Level 2 and 3), our fair value calculations have been adjusted accordingly.

Available-for-sale securities

Our available-for-sale securities, primarily at Cat Insurance, include a mix of equity and debt instruments (see Note 8 for additional information).  Fair values for our U.S. treasury bonds and equity securities are based upon valuations for identical instruments in active markets.  Fair values for other government bonds, corporate bonds and mortgage-backed debt securities are based upon models that take into consideration such market-based factors as recent sales, risk-free yield curves and prices of similarly rated bonds.

Derivative financial instruments

The fair value of interest rate swap derivatives is primarily based on models that utilize the appropriate market-based forward swap curves and zero-coupon interest rates to determine discounted cash flows.  The fair value of foreign currency and commodity forward and option contracts is based on a valuation model that discounts cash flows resulting from the differential between the contract price and the market-based forward rate.

Securitized retained interests

The fair value of securitized retained interests is based upon a valuation model that calculates the present value of future expected cash flows using key assumptions for credit losses, prepayment rates and discount rates.  These assumptions are based on our historical experience, market trends and anticipated performance relative to the particular assets securitized.

Guarantees

The fair value of guarantees is based upon the premium we would require to issue the same guarantee in a stand-alone arms-length transaction with an unrelated party. If quoted or observable market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that utilize current market-based assumptions.

In addition to the amounts above, Cat Financial had impaired loans of $213 million and $171 million as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.  A loan is considered impaired when management determines that collection of contractual amounts due is not probable.  In these cases, an allowance for credit losses is established based primarily on the fair value of associated collateral.  As the collateral’s fair value is based on observable market prices and/or current appraised values, the impaired loans are classified as Level 2 measurements.

B.           Fair values of financial instruments

In addition to the methods and assumptions we use to record the fair value of financial instruments as discussed in the Fair value measurements section above, we used the following methods and assumptions to estimate the fair value of our financial instruments.

Cash and short-term investments

Carrying amount approximated fair value.

Restricted cash and short-term investments

Carrying amount approximated fair value.  Restricted cash and short-term investments are included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

Finance receivables

Fair value was estimated by discounting the future cash flows using current rates, representative of receivables with similar remaining maturities.

Wholesale inventory receivables

Fair value was estimated by discounting the future cash flows using current rates, representative of receivables with similar remaining maturities.

Short-term borrowings

Carrying amount approximated fair value.

Long-term debt

Fair value for Machinery and Power Systems fixed rate debt was estimated based on quoted market prices.  For Financial Products, fixed and floating rate debt was estimated based on quoted market prices.  Commercial paper carrying amounts approximated fair value.

18.         Business Combinations and Divestitures

Balfour Beatty’s Trackwork Business

In May 2011, we acquired 100 percent of the assets and certain liabilities of the United Kingdom trackwork business from Balfour Beatty Rail Limited for approximately $60 million.  The trackwork division specializes in the design and manufacture of special trackwork and associated products for the United Kingdom and international rail markets.  The acquisition supports our strategic initiative to expand the scope and product range of our rail business.

The transaction was financed with available cash.  Tangible assets acquired of $82 million, recorded at their fair values, included receivables of $18 million, inventory of $12 million, and property, plant and equipment of $52 million.  Liabilities assumed of $22 million, recorded at their fair values, primarily were accounts payable of $10 million and accrued expenses of $10 million.  The results of the acquired business for the period from the acquisition date are included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and are reported in the “Power Systems” segment in Note 14.  Assuming this transaction had been made at the beginning of any period presented, the consolidated pro forma results would not be materially different from reported results.

Carter Machinery

In March 2011, we sold 100 percent of the equity in Carter Machinery Company Inc. for $358 million.  Carter Machinery is a Caterpillar dealership headquartered in Salem, Virginia, and has operations and stores covering Virginia and nine counties in southeast West Virginia.  The current senior management of Carter Machinery, which led the buy-out of Carter Machinery from Caterpillar, remained in place.  A retired Caterpillar Vice President is CEO of Carter Machinery and the principal owner going forward.  Caterpillar had owned Carter Machinery since 1988.  Carter Machinery was the only dealership in the United States that was not independently owned.   Continued Caterpillar ownership does not align with our comprehensive business strategy.

44

As part of the divestiture, Cat Financial provided $348 million of financing to the buyer.  The loan is included in Receivables – finance and Long-term receivables – finance in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.  We recorded a pre-tax gain of $18 million included in Other operating (income) expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Results of Operations.  The sale does not qualify as discontinued operations because Caterpillar expects significant continuing direct cash flows with Carter Machinery after the divestiture.  The sale of Carter will not have a material impact on our results of operation, financial position or cash flow.

19.         Subsequent Events

On July 8, 2011, we completed our acquisition of Bucyrus International, Inc. (Bucyrus).  Bucyrus is a designer, manufacturer and marketer of high productivity mining equipment for the surface and underground mining industries.  The acquisition was driven by our key strategic imperative to expand our leadership and support for customers in the mining industry.  The total purchase price was approximately $8.8 billion, consisting of $7.4 billion for the purchase of all outstanding shares of Bucyrus common stock at $92 per share and $1.6 billion of assumed Bucyrus debt, substantially all of which was repaid subsequent to closing, net of $0.2 billion of acquired cash.

We funded the acquisition using a mix of available cash, commercial paper borrowings and approximately $4.5 billion of long-term debt issued in May 2011.  On May 24, 2011, we issued $500 million of Floating Rate Senior Notes (Three-month USD LIBOR plus 0.10%) due in 2012 and $750 million of Floating Rate Senior Notes (Three-month USD LIBOR plus 0.17%) due in 2013.  The interest rates for the Floating Rate Senior Notes will be reset quarterly.  We also issued $750 million of 1.375% Senior Notes due in 2014, $1.25 billion of 3.90% Senior Notes due in 2021, and $1.25 billion of 5.20% Senior Notes due in 2041.  The Notes are unsecured obligations of Caterpillar and rank equally with all other unsecured indebtedness.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, we recognized $204 million and $249 million, respectively, in costs related to the acquisition of Bucyrus.

Due to the limited time since the date of the acquisition, the initial accounting for this business combination is incomplete as of the date of this filing.  As such, we are not able to make certain business combination disclosures at this time including amounts to be recognized at the acquisition date for the major classes of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including pre-acquisition contingencies, goodwill and other intangibles.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

We reported second-quarter 2011 profit per share of $1.52, a 39-percent improvement from $1.09 in the second quarter of 2010.  Profit was $1.015 billion in the second quarter of 2011, an increase of 44 percent from $707 million in the second quarter of 2010.  Profit was $1.72 per share, excluding $204 million of expense related to the acquisition of Bucyrus, a 58-percent improvement from $1.09 in the second quarter of 2010.  Sales and revenues of $14.230 billion were up 37 percent from $10.409 billion a year ago.

Profit per share for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $3.36 per share, an increase of $1.90 per share from a profit of $1.46 per share for the six months ended June 30, 2010.  Profit of $2.240 billion was 138 percent higher than profit of $940 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010.  Excluding $249 million of expense related to the acquisition of Bucyrus, second-quarter 2011 profit per share was $3.60, a 147-percent improvement from $1.46 per share for the six months ended June 30, 2010.  Sales and revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2011 were $27.179 billion, up $8.532 billion, or 46 percent, from the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Customer demand around the world continues to improve, and our sales and revenues in the second quarter were the highest of any previous quarter.

Highlights for the second quarter of 2011 include:

·Second-quarter sales and revenues of $14.230 billion were up 37 percent from the second quarter of 2010.  The improvement is a result of continued economic growth and improvement from the low levels of machine demand in the second quarter of 2010.

·On the 37-percent increase in sales and revenues, operating profit increased 64 percent.

·Profit per share was $1.52 in the second quarter of 2011, or $1.72 per share excluding Bucyrus acquisition costs.

·Machinery and Power Systems operating cash flow was $4.111 billion in the first half of 2011, compared with $2.525 billion in the first half of 2010.

·Machinery and Power Systems debt-to-capital ratio was 42.6 percent at the end of the second quarter of 2011, compared with 34.8 percent at year-end 2010.  The increase was the result of debt issued to complete the acquisition of Bucyrus.

Consolidated Results of Operations

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2011 COMPARED WITH THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2010

CONSOLIDATED SALES AND REVENUES

The chart above graphically illustrates reasons for the change in Consolidated Sales and Revenues between the second quarter of 2010 (at left) and the second quarter of 2011 (at right).  Items favorably impacting sales and revenues appear as upward stair steps with the corresponding dollar amounts above each bar, while items negatively impacting sales and revenues appear as downward stair steps with dollar amounts reflected in parentheses above each bar.  The bar entitled Sales Volume includes the sales impact of divestitures.  Caterpillar management utilizes these charts internally to visually communicate with the company’s Board of Directors and employees.

Total sales and revenues were $14.230 billion in the second quarter of 2011, an increase of $3.821 billion, or 37 percent, from the second quarter of 2010.

The improvement was largely a result of $2.985 billion higher sales volume.  While sales for new equipment and after-market parts improved, the most significant increase was for new equipment.  Price realization improved $134 million, and currency impacts added $351 million.  EMD, which was acquired in the third quarter of 2010, added $342 million in sales.  Financial Products revenues improved slightly.

The improvement in sales volume occurred across the world in all geographic regions and in nearly all segments.  The volume increase was primarily the result of higher deliveries to end users.  Dealer inventory levels were up about $300 million during the quarter, while they were about flat during the second quarter of 2010.

The improvement in sales volume was partially offset by the impact of the Japan disaster as sporadic disruptions at many of our facilities and suppliers around the world negatively impacted sales by about $200 million.

Growth in the global economy increased both demand for commodities and commodity prices and was positive for mining in all regions of the world.

Construction activity continued to grow in the developing countries.  In developed countries, despite a continued weak level of construction activity, sales increased as a result of customers upgrading machine fleets and replacing some older equipment and dealers refreshing some equipment in their rental fleets.

Power Systems sales increased as a result of worldwide economic growth, strong demand for electric power, energy prices at levels that encourage continued investment and increased demand from industrial engine customers that manufacture agricultural and construction equipment.

47

CONSOLIDATED OPERATING PROFIT

The chart above graphically illustrates reasons for the change in Consolidated Operating Profit between the second quarter of 2010 (at left) and the second quarter of 2011 (at right).  Items favorably impacting operating profit appear as upward stair steps with the corresponding dollar amounts above each bar, while items negatively impacting operating profit appear as downward stair steps with dollar amounts reflected in parentheses above each bar.  Caterpillar management utilizes these charts internally to visually communicate with the company’s Board of Directors and employees.  The bar entitled Other includes the operating profit impact of divestitures, consolidating adjustments and Machinery and Power Systems other operating (income) expenses.

Operating profit for the second quarter of 2011 was $1.601 billion compared with $977 million for the second quarter of 2010.  The improvement was primarily the result of higher sales volume and better price realization.  The improvements were partially offset by higher manufacturing costs and selling, general and administrative (SG&A) and research and development (R&D) expenses.  The Japan disaster negatively impacted operating profit by nearly $60 million, primarily due to factory and supply chain disruptions.

Manufacturing costs were up $364 million, primarily due to higher period costs related to increased production volume, wage and benefit cost increases and higher incentive compensation.  Freight costs were higher and material costs increased, primarily due to higher steel costs.  Continued improvements in variable labor efficiencies partially offset these factors.

SG&A and R&D expenses increased by $239 million, primarily due to higher costs to support product programs, higher volume, wage and benefit inflation and higher incentive compensation.

Currency had a $102 million unfavorable impact on operating profit as the benefit from $351 million on sales was more than offset by a negative $453 million impact on costs.  The unfavorable impact was primarily due to the Japanese yen.

Financial Products’ operating profit improved by $64 million.

Operating profit was negatively impacted by $31 million of Bucyrus acquisition costs, while the acquisition of EMD added $13 million to operating profit.

Short-term incentive compensation of $305 million in the second quarter of 2011 was $95 million higher than the $210 million from the second quarter of 2010.

The amount of incremental operating profit we earn on incremental sales and revenues is an important performance metric.  Sales and revenues increased $3.821 billion from the second quarter of 2010 to the second quarter of 2011, and operating profit increased $624 million. The resulting incremental operating profit rate is over 16 percent.  Excluding the acquisition of EMD and acquisition costs related to Bucyrus, incremental margin was over 18 percent.  Excluding the acquisition of EMD, acquisition costs related to Bucyrus and currency impacts, incremental margin was nearly 24 percent.

48

Other Profit/Loss Items

·Interest expense excluding Financial Products increased $9 million from the second quarter of 2010 due to debt issued to complete the acquisition of Bucyrus.

·Other income/expense was expense of $161 million compared with income of $50 million in the second quarter of 2010.  The unfavorable change was primarily a result of losses on interest rate swaps put in place in anticipation of issuing debt for the acquisition of Bucyrus and costs for the bridge financing facility related to the Bucyrus acquisition.  Net currency exchange gains and losses also had a negative impact.

·The provision for income taxes reflects an estimated annual effective tax rate of 29 percent for second quarter 2011 and 2010, excluding the discrete items discussed below. The 2011 estimated tax rate of 29 percent is higher than the comparable full year 2010 rate of 25 percent primarily due to an expected change in our geographic mix of profits from a tax perspective.

The provision for income taxes in the second quarter of 2011 includes a net benefit of $72 million due to planned repatriation of non-U.S. earnings with available foreign tax credits in excess of the U.S. tax liability on the dividend offset by an increase in reserves for prior year unrecognized tax benefits. In the second quarter of 2010, a $65 million benefit was recorded related to refund claims for prior tax years, a release of a valuation allowance, and a decrease in the 2010 estimated annual tax rate.

·Equity in profit/loss of unconsolidated affiliated companies negatively impacted profit by $6 million compared to the second quarter of 2010.  The change was primarily related to NC2 Global LLC, our joint venture with Navistar.

·Profit/loss attributable to noncontrolling interests improved profit by $19 million from the second quarter of 2010.  This change was due to lower Caterpillar Japan Ltd. (Cat Japan) profit, partially driven by the impact of the earthquake and tsunami.  We own two-thirds of Cat Japan, and one-third of its profits or losses are attributable to our partner, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd.

Construction Industries

Construction Industries’ sales were $4.941 billion in the second quarter of 2011, an increase of $1.550 billion, or 46 percent, from the second quarter of 2010.  The improvement in sales was a result of significantly higher sales volume in all geographic regions and across all major products.  The disaster in Japan negatively impacted sales by $200 million and operating profit by nearly $60 million.  In addition to volume, sales were higher as a result of currency impacts from a weaker U.S. dollar.

Continuing economic growth in most developing countries resulted in higher sales overall, and new machine sales were above or near record levels across much of the developing world.  While demand for product was strong, the supply of many excavator models, which are key products for construction across the world, is limited by our capacity.

In most developed countries, sales increased significantly despite relatively weak construction activity.  The improvement in sales was largely driven by the need for customers to upgrade machine fleets and replace older equipment and dealers refreshing some

51

equipment in their rental fleets.  Despite the increase from a year ago, sales of new machines to customers in developed countries remain weak and below previous peak levels.  The size of rental fleets increased slightly from post-recession lows, but the average age remained near the historical high.

Construction Industries’ profit was $482 million in the second quarter of 2011 compared with $218 million in the second quarter of 2010.  The increase in profit was primarily due to higher sales volume, which included the impact of an unfavorable mix of products.  The benefit from higher sales was partially offset by increased manufacturing costs, primarily due to higher period costs related to higher production volume and several capacity expansion programs around the world, and higher R&D expense.

Resource Industries

Resource Industries’ sales were $3.206 billion in the second quarter of 2011, an increase of $1.111 billion, or 53 percent, from the second quarter of 2010.  The sales growth was driven primarily by higher sales volume with price realization and currency having a relatively small impact.

Growth in the global economy increased demand for commodities and commodity prices.  Metals prices were up nearly 30 percent, and most thermal coal prices increased more than 20 percent.  As a result, worldwide mining production continued at a high level.  Mining customers are increasing their investment, which is driving significant demand for our large mining products and higher parts sales.

Resource Industries’ profit was $796 million in the second quarter of 2011 compared with $418 million in the second quarter of 2010.  The profit improvement was primarily due to higher sales volume and improved price realization.  This improvement was partially offset by higher manufacturing costs, increased R&D expense and Bucyrus acquisition costs.

Power Systems

Power Systems’ sales were $4.918 billion in the second quarter of 2011, an increase of $1.182 billion, or 32 percent, from the second quarter of 2010.  Sales were up in all geographic regions from the low levels of the second quarter of 2010.  Most of the improvement was a result of higher sales volume and the acquisition of EMD.  Sales for electric power, industrial and petroleum applications all improved, while sales of marine engines were about flat.

Electric power has continued to improve as a result of worldwide economic growth.  Sales of industrial engines to customers that manufacture agricultural and construction equipment have improved significantly.  Strong demand for energy at price levels that encourage continued investment have resulted in higher demand for engines for petroleum applications.

Power Systems’ profit was $736 million in the second quarter of 2011 compared with $594 million in the second quarter of 2010.  The improvement was primarily due to higher sales volume, which includes the impact of an unfavorable mix of products, and improved price realization.  The improvements were partially offset by higher period manufacturing costs, increased freight costs and higher warranty and R&D expense.

The acquisition of EMD added sales of $342 million and profit of $18 million.

Financial Products Segment

Financial Products’ revenues were $764 million, an increase of $20 million, or 3 percent, from the second quarter of 2010.  The increase was primarily due to the impact from higher average earning assets and from returned or repossessed equipment, partially offset by an unfavorable impact from lower interest rates on new and existing finance receivables and a decrease in Cat Insurance revenues.

Financial Products’ profit was $172 million in the second quarter of 2011, compared with $110 million in the second quarter of 2010.  The increase was primarily due to a $21 million favorable impact from higher net yield on average earning assets, a $20 million decrease in provision expense at Cat Financial and an $11 million favorable change from returned or repossessed equipment.  These increases were partially offset by an increase in SG&A expenses (excluding provision expense at Cat Financial).

At the end of the second quarter of 2011, past dues at Cat Financial were 3.73 percent, a decrease from 3.94 percent at the end of the first quarter of 2011, 3.87 percent at the end of 2010 and 5.33 percent at the end of the second quarter of 2010.  The decrease in past dues reflects the continued improvement in the global economy.  Write-offs, net of recoveries, were $29 million for the second quarter of 2011, down from $52 million in the second quarter of 2010, and were the lowest since the third quarter of 2008.

As of June 30, 2011, Cat Financial’s allowance for credit losses totaled $382 million or 1.52 percent of net finance receivables, compared with $363 million or 1.57 percent of net finance receivables at year-end 2010.  The allowance for credit losses as of June 30, 2010, was $383 million, which was 1.70 percent of net finance receivables.

52

Corporate Items and Eliminations

Expense for corporate items and eliminations was $639 million in the second quarter of 2011, an increase of $135 million from the second quarter of 2010.  Corporate items and eliminations include corporate-level expenses, timing differences as some expenses are reported in segment results on a cash basis, retirement benefit costs other than service cost and inter-segment eliminations.

The change was primarily due to higher corporate-level expenses and increased retirement benefit costs not allocated to segments.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2011 COMPARED WITH SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2010

CONSOLIDATED SALES AND REVENUES

The chart above graphically illustrates reasons for the change in Consolidated Sales and Revenues between six months ended June 30, 2010 (at left) and between six months ended June 30, 2011 (at right).  Items favorably impacting sales and revenues appear as upward stair steps with the corresponding dollar amounts above each bar, while items negatively impacting sales and revenues appear as downward stair steps with dollar amounts reflected in parentheses above each bar.  The bar entitled Sales Volume includes the sales impact of divestitures.  Caterpillar management utilizes these charts internally to visually communicate with the company’s Board of Directors and employees.

Total sales and revenues were $27.179 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $8.532 billion, or 46 percent, from the six months ended June 30, 2010.

The improvement was largely a result of $7.058 billion higher sales volume.  While sales for new equipment and after-market parts improved, the most significant increase was for new equipment.  Price realization improved $429 million, and currency impacts added $445 million.  EMD, which was acquired in the third quarter of 2010, added $606 million in sales.  Financial Products revenues declined slightly.

The improvement in sales volume occurred across the world in all geographic regions and in all segments.  The volume increase was primarily the result of higher deliveries to end users.  Dealer new machine inventory levels were up over $1 billion during the first half of 2011, while they were about flat during the first half of 2010.

The improvement in sales volume was partially offset by the impact of the Japan disaster as sporadic disruptions at many of our facilities and suppliers around the world negatively impacted sales by about $200 million.

Growth in the global economy increased both demand for commodities and commodity prices and was positive for mining in all regions of the world.

Construction activity continued to grow in the developing countries.  In developed countries, despite a continued weak level of construction activity, sales increased as a result of customers upgrading machine fleets and replacing some older equipment and dealers refreshing some equipment in their rental fleets.

Power Systems sales increased as a result of worldwide economic growth, energy prices at levels that encourage continued investment, strong demand for electric power and increased demand from industrial engine customers that manufacture agricultural and construction equipment.

CONSOLIDATED OPERATING PROFIT

The chart above graphically illustrates reasons for the change in Consolidated Operating Profit between the six months ended June 30, 2010 (at left) and the six months ended June 30, 2011 (at right).  Items favorably impacting operating profit appear as upward stair steps with the corresponding dollar amounts above each bar, while items negatively impacting operating profit appear as downward stair steps with dollar amounts reflected in parentheses above each bar.  Caterpillar management utilizes these charts internally to visually communicate with the company’s Board of Directors and employees.  The bar entitled Other includes the operating profit impact of divestitures, consolidating adjustments and Machinery and Power Systems other operating (income) expenses.

Operating profit for the six months ended June 30, of 2011 was $3.434 billion compared with $1.485 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2010.  The improvement was primarily the result of higher sales volume and better price realization.  The improvements were partially offset by higher manufacturing costs and selling, general and administrative (SG&A) and research and development (R&D) expenses. The Japan disaster negatively impacted operating profit by nearly $60 million, primarily due to factory and supply chain disruptions.

Manufacturing costs were up $583 million, primarily due to higher period costs related to increased production volume, higher incentive compensation and wage and benefit cost increases.  Freight costs were higher and material costs increased, primarily due to higher steel costs.  Continued improvements in variable labor efficiencies partially offset these factors.

SG&A and R&D expenses increased by $454 million, primarily due to higher costs to support product programs, higher incentive compensation, higher volume and wage and benefit inflation.

Currency had a $126 million unfavorable impact on operating profit as the benefit from $445 million on sales was more than offset by a negative $571 million impact on costs.  The unfavorable impact was primarily due to the Japanese yen.

Financial Products’ operating profit improved by $93 million.

Operating profit was negatively impacted by $35 million of Bucyrus acquisition costs, while the acquisition of EMD added $19 million to operating profit.

Short-term incentive compensation was $525 million for the first half of 2011 compared to $305 million in the first half of 2010.

The amount of incremental operating profit we earn on incremental sales and revenues is an important performance metric.  Sales and revenues increased $8.532 billion from the first half of 2010 to the first half of 2011, and operating profit increased $1.949 billion. The resulting incremental operating profit rate is nearly 23 percent.  Excluding the acquisition of EMD and acquisition costs related to Bucyrus, incremental margin was nearly 25 percent.  Excluding the acquisition of EMD, acquisition costs related to Bucyrus and currency impacts incremental margin was 28 percent.

54

Other Profit/Loss Items

·Interest expense excluding Financial Products decreased $6 million from the six months ended June 30, 2010.  Lower line of credit fees resulting from a reduction of global credit facilities and the impact from debt retired during the first quarter of 2011 were partially offset by interest on debt issued in May to complete the acquisition of Bucyrus.

·Other income/expense was expense of $144 million compared with income of $113 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010.  The unfavorable change was primarily a result of losses on interest rate swaps put in place in anticipation of issuing debt for the acquisition of Bucyrus and costs for the bridge financing facility related to the Bucyrus acquisition.  Net currency exchange gains and losses also had a negative impact.

·The provision for income taxes reflects an estimated annual effective tax rate of 29 percent for the first six months of 2011 and 2010, excluding the discrete items discussed below.   The 2011 estimated tax rate of 29 percent is higher than the comparable full-year 2010 rate of 25 percent primarily due to an expected change in our geographic mix of profits from a tax perspective.

The provision for income taxes for 2011 also includes a net benefit of $72 million due to planned repatriation of non-U.S. earnings with available foreign tax credits in excess of the U.S. tax liability on the dividend offset by an increase in prior year unrecognized tax benefits.   The 2010 provision for income taxes included a net charge of $30 million due to the enactment of U.S. healthcare legislation, effectively making government subsidies received for Medicare equivalent prescription drug coverage taxable, offset by refund claims for prior tax years and a release of a valuation allowance.

·Equity in profit/loss of unconsolidated affiliated companies negatively impacted profit by $12 million compared to the first half of 2010.  The change is primarily related to NC2 Global LLC, our joint venture with Navistar.

·Profit/loss attributable to noncontrolling interests improved profit by $4 million from the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Construction Industries

Construction Industries’ sales were $9.412 billion for the first six months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $3.409 billion, or 57 percent, from the six months ended June 30, 2010.  The improvement in sales was a result of significantly higher sales volume in all geographic regions and across all major products.  In addition to volume, sales were higher as a result of currency impacts from a weaker U.S. dollar. The disaster in Japan negatively impacted sales by about $200 million and operating profit by nearly $60 million.

Continuing economic growth in most developing countries resulted in higher sales overall, and new machine sales were above or near record levels across much of the developing world.  While demand for product was strong, the supply of many excavator models, which are key products for construction across the world, is limited by our capacity.

57

equipment in their rental fleets.  Despite the increase from a year ago, sales of new machines to customers in developed countries remain weak and below previous peak levels.  The size of rental fleets increased slightly from post-recession lows, but the average age remained near the historical high.

Construction Industries’ profit was $1.026 billion in the first half of 2011 compared with $250 million in the first half of 2010.  The increase in profit was primarily due to higher sales volume, which included the impact of an unfavorable mix of products, and better price realization.  The benefit from higher sales was partially offset by increased manufacturing costs, primarily due to higher period costs related to higher production volume and several capacity expansion programs around the world.  SG&A expenses were about flat despite the large increase in volume.

Resource Industries

Resource Industries’ sales were $5.974 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $2.376 billion, or 66 percent, from the six months ended June 30, 2010.  The sales growth was driven primarily by higher sales volume with price realization and currency having a relatively small impact.

Growth in the global economy increased demand for commodities and commodity prices.  Metals prices averaged 30 percent higher and most thermal coal prices were up more than 30 percent.  As a result, worldwide mining production continued at a high level.  Mining customers are increasing their investment, which is driving significant demand for our large mining products and higher parts sales.

Resource Industries’ profit was $1.592 billion in the first half of 2011 compared with $645 million in the first half of 2010.  The profit improvement was primarily due to higher sales volume and improved price realization.  This improvement was partially offset by higher period manufacturing and material costs, increased SG&A and R&D expense and Bucyrus acquisition costs.

Power Systems

Power Systems’ sales were $9.367 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $2.690 billion, or 40 percent, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010.  Sales were up in all geographic regions from the low levels of 2010.  Most of the improvement was a result of higher sales volume and the acquisition of EMD.  Sales for petroleum, electric power, and industrial applications all improved, while sales of large marine engines were down.

Worldwide demand for energy and higher prices are encouraging customers to invest, and we are seeing stronger demand for engines and turbines for petroleum applications.  Electric power has continued to improve as a result of worldwide economic growth.  Sales of industrial engines to customers that manufacture agricultural and construction equipment have improved significantly.

Power Systems’ profit was $1.436 billion in the first half of 2011 compared with $886 million in the first half of 2010.  The improvement was primarily due to higher sales volume, which includes the impact of an unfavorable mix of products, and improved price realization.  The improvements were partially offset by higher period manufacturing costs, increased freight costs and higher R&D expense.

The acquisition of EMD added sales of $606 million and profit of $27 million.

Financial Products Segment

Financial Products’ revenues were $1.494 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $11 million, or 1 percent, from the six months ended June 30, 2010.  The increase was primarily due to a favorable change from returned or repossessed equipment, higher miscellaneous net revenues and a favorable impact from higher average earning assets, partially offset by an unfavorable impact from lower interest rates on new and existing finance receivables and a decrease in Cat Insurance revenues.

Financial Products’ profit of $308 million in the first half of 2011 was up $92 million from the first half of 2010.  The increase was primarily due to a $32 million favorable impact from higher net yield on average earning assets, a $30 million favorable change from returned or repossessed equipment, a $24 million favorable impact from miscellaneous net revenue items and a $19 million decrease in provision expense at Cat Financial.  These increases were partially offset by a $25 million increase in SG&A expenses (excluding provision expense at Cat Financial).

Corporate Items and Eliminations

Expense for corporate items and eliminations was $1.173 billion, an increase of $382 million from the six months ended June 30, 2010.  Corporate items and eliminations include corporate-level expenses, timing differences as some expenses are reported in segment results on a cash basis, retirement benefit costs other than service cost and inter-segment eliminations.

The change was primarily due to an increase in the provision for warranty due to higher sales volume, increased retirement benefit costs not allocated to segments and higher corporate-level expenses.

Bucyrus International, Inc.

On July 8, 2011, we completed our acquisition of Bucyrus International, Inc. (Bucyrus).  Bucyrus is a designer, manufacturer and marketer of high productivity mining equipment for the surface and underground mining industries.  The acquisition was driven by our key strategic imperative to expand our leadership and support for customers in the mining industry.  The total purchase price was approximately $8.8 billion, consisting of $7.4 billion for the purchase of all outstanding shares of Bucyrus common stock at $92 per share and $1.6 billion of assumed Bucyrus debt, substantially all of which was repaid subsequent to closing, net of $0.2 billion of acquired cash.  We funded the acquisition using a mix of available cash, commercial paper borrowings and approximately $4.5 billion of long-term debt issued in May 2011.

Due to the limited time since the date of the acquisition, the initial accounting for this business combination is incomplete as of the date of this filing.  As such, we are not able to make certain business combination disclosures at this time including amounts to be recognized at the acquisition date for the major classes of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including pre-acquisition contingencies, goodwill and other intangibles.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, we recognized $204 million and $249 million, respectively, in costs related to the acquisition of Bucyrus.  Of the total, the most significant item was the loss on interest rate swap contracts.  In addition, we had costs for a bridge financing facility, advisory and legal costs and interest expense on newly issued debt.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Sources of funds

We generate significant capital resources from operating activities, which are the primary source of funding for our Machinery and Power Systems operations.  Funding for these businesses is also provided by commercial paper and long-term debt issuances.  Financial Products operations are funded primarily from commercial paper, term debt issuances and collections from their existing portfolio.  Throughout the second quarter of 2011, we experienced favorable liquidity conditions in both our Machinery and Power Systems and Financial Products operations.  On a consolidated basis, we ended the second quarter of 2011 with $10.7 billion of cash, an increase of $7.1 billion from year-end 2010.  At June 30, 2011, we were holding more cash than needed for normal operations in preparation for funding the acquisition of Bucyrus.  Our cash balances are held in numerous locations throughout the world.  We expect to meet our U.S. funding needs without repatriating non-U.S. cash and incurring incremental U.S. taxes.

Consolidated operating cash flow for the first half of 2011 was $3.29 billion, up from $1.91 billion for the same period a year ago.   Operating cash flow in the first half of 2011 benefited from profit of consolidated and affiliated companies of $2.27 billion and higher accounts payable, resulting primarily from higher material purchases.  Partially offsetting these items were higher inventories, primarily related to higher production in anticipation of strong sales volumes during the remainder of 2011, as well as the payment of short-term incentive compensation to employees during the first quarter of 2011.  Operating cash flow in the first half of 2010 benefited from profit of consolidated and affiliated companies of $969 million and an increase in accounts payable, reflecting higher levels of material purchases for a production ramp-up to meet increasing demand.  This was offset by an increase in inventory, also related to production ramp-up, and higher receivables.  See further discussion of operating cash flow under Machinery and Power Systems and Financial Products.

Total debt as of June 30, 2011, was $34.38 billion, an increase of $5.96 billion from year-end 2010.  Debt related to Machinery and Power Systems increased $4.21 billion in the first half of 2011 due to the issuance of $4.50 billion of debt to fund the Bucyrus acquisition, which closed on July 8, 2011.  On May 24, 2011, we issued $500 million of Floating Rate Senior Notes (Three-month USD LIBOR plus 0.10%) due in 2012 and $750 million of Floating Rate Senior Notes (Three-month USD LIBOR plus 0.17%) due in 2013.  The interest rates for the Floating Rate Senior Notes will be reset quarterly.  We also issued $750 million of 1.375% Senior Notes due in 2014, $1.25 billion of 3.90% Senior Notes due in 2021, and $1.25 billion of 5.20% Senior Notes due in 2041.  The Notes are unsecured obligations of Caterpillar and rank equally with all other unsecured indebtedness.

Debt related to Financial Products increased $1.75 billion reflecting increasing portfolio balances at Cat Financial.

61

We have three global credit facilities with a syndicate of banks totaling $7.23 billion (Credit Facility) available in the aggregate to both Caterpillar and Cat Financial to support their commercial paper programs in the event those programs become unavailable and for general liquidity purposes.  Based on management’s allocation decision, which can be revised from time to time, the portion of the Credit Facility available to Cat Financial as of June 30, 2011 was $5.73 billion.

·The 364-day facility of $3.52 billion expires in September 2011.

·The five-year facility of $1.62 billion expires in September 2012.

·The four-year facility of $2.09 billion expires in September 2014.

At June 30, 2011, Caterpillar’s consolidated net worth was $17.94 billion, which was above the $9.00 billion required under the Credit Facility.  The consolidated net worth is defined as the consolidated stockholder’s equity including preferred stock but excluding the pension and other postretirement benefits balance within Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

At June 30, 2011, Cat Financial’s covenant interest coverage ratio was 1.49 to 1.  This is above the 1.15 to 1 minimum ratio calculated as (1) profit excluding income taxes, interest expense and net gain/(loss) from interest rate derivatives to (2) interest expense calculated at the end of each calendar quarter for the rolling four quarter period then most recently ended.

In addition, at June 30, 2011, Cat Financial’s covenant leverage ratio was 7.41 to 1.  This is below the maximum ratio of debt to net worth of 10 to 1, calculated (1) on a monthly basis as the average of the leverage ratios determined on the last day of each of the six preceding calendar months and (2) at each December 31 required by the Credit Facility.

In the event Caterpillar or Cat Financial does not meet one or more of their respective financial covenants under the Credit Facility in the future (and are unable to obtain a consent or waiver), the bank group may terminate the commitments allocated to the party that does not meet its covenants.  Additionally, in such event, certain of Cat Financial’s other lenders under other loan agreements where similar financial covenants or cross default provisions are applicable, may, at their election, choose to pursue remedies under those loan agreements, including accelerating the repayment of outstanding borrowings.  At June 30, 2011, there were no borrowings under the Credit Facility.

Our total credit commitments as of June 30, 2011 were:

	June 30, 2011
(Millions of dollars)	Consolidated	Machinery and Power Systems	Financial Products
Credit lines available:
Global credit facilities	$7,230	$1,500	$5,730
Other external	4,759	743	4,016
Total credit lines available	11,989	2,243	9,746
Less: Global credit facilities supporting commercial paper	(2,902)	—	(2,902)
Less: Utilized credit	(2,374)	(16)	(2,358)
Available credit	$6,713	$2,227	$4,486

Other consolidated credit lines with banks as of June 30, 2011 totaled $4.76 billion.  These committed and uncommitted credit lines, which may be eligible for renewal at various future dates or have no specified expiration date, are used primarily by our subsidiaries for local funding requirements.  Caterpillar or Cat Financial may guarantee subsidiary borrowings under these lines.

In 2010, we entered into a bridge facility commitment letter related to the planned acquisition of Bucyrus.  The commitment letter provided for an aggregate principal amount of $8.6 billion under a one-year unsecured term loan credit facility (Bridge Facility).  Also in 2010, we entered into a Bridge Loan Agreement that contains the negotiated terms and conditions originally contemplated in the commitment letter.  As of June 30, 2011, the principal amount available under the Bridge Facility was $4.1 billion, which reflects a reduction of $4.5 billion due to the May 2011 debt issuance.  The principal amount available to Caterpillar under the Bridge Loan Agreement at June 30, 2011 is not included in the credit commitments table shown above.  The Bridge Loan Agreement was terminated on July 8, 2011, to coincide with the closing date of the Bucyrus acquisition.  During the first half of 2011 we paid $6 million in customary fees and expenses, compared with total payments of $46 million in 2010.   In July 2011, $12 million in additional fees were paid and expenses were settled on the date of the closing.

In the event that Caterpillar or Cat Financial, or any of their debt securities, experiences a credit rating downgrade, it would likely result in an increase in our borrowing costs and make access to certain credit markets more difficult.  While we expect continued growth in the global economy, in the event conditions deteriorate such that access to debt markets becomes unavailable, our Machinery and Power Systems operations would rely on cash flow from operations, use of existing cash balances, borrowings from Cat Financial and access to our Credit Facility.  Our Financial Products operations would rely on cash flow from its existing portfolio, utilization of existing cash balances, access to our Credit Facility and other credit line facilities of Cat Financial and potential borrowings from Caterpillar.  In addition, we maintain a support agreement with Cat Financial, which requires Caterpillar to remain the sole owner of Cat Financial and may, under certain circumstances, require Caterpillar to make payments to Cat Financial should Cat Financial fail to maintain certain financial ratios.

Machinery and Power Systems

Net cash provided by operating activities was $4.11 billion in the first half of 2011 compared with $2.53 billion in the first half of 2010.  The change was primarily due to favorable changes in receivables and increased profit, partially offset by more significant increases in inventories and short-term incentive compensation payments in 2011.  Profit of consolidated and affiliated companies in the first half of 2011 was $2.26 billion compared with $964 million for the same period a year ago.   During the first half of 2011, receivables declined primarily due to increased sales of receivables to Cat Financial to provide cash to fund the Bucyrus acquisition.  In addition, accounts payable increased, primarily reflecting higher material purchases for continued increases in production.  During the first half of 2010, we experienced sharply increased demand and a production ramp-up, resulting in an increase in accounts payable and customer advances, which was more than offset by increases in inventory and receivables.  Net cash used for investing activities in the first half of 2011 was $94 million compared with net cash used for investing activities of $1.32 billion for the same period in 2010.  The change was primarily due to loan repayments from Cat Financial, proceeds from the divestiture of Carter Machinery and higher capital expenditures in the first half of 2011, compared with net loans to Cat Financial in the first half of 2010.  Net cash provided by financing activities in the first half of 2011 was $3.60 billion, primarily a result of long-term debt issued in May 2011 to fund the Bucyrus acquisition, partially offset by payments on long-term debt and dividend payments.  During the same period in 2010, net cash used for financing activities was $1.51 billion, primarily driven by payments on long-term debt and dividend payments.

Our priorities for the use of cash are maintaining a strong financial position that helps maintain our credit rating, providing capital to support growth, appropriately funding employee benefit plans, paying dividends and repurchasing common stock with excess cash.

Strong financial position – A key measure of Machinery and Power Systems’ financial strength used by both management and our credit rating agencies is Machinery and Power Systems’ debt-to-capital ratio.  Debt-to-capital is defined as short-term borrowings, long-term debt due within one year, redeemable noncontrolling interest and long-term debt due after one year (debt) divided by the sum of debt (including redeemable noncontrolling interest) and stockholders’ equity.  Debt also includes borrowings from Financial Products.  The debt-to-capital ratio for Machinery and Power Systems was 42.6 percent at June 30, 2011, within our target range of 35 to 45 percent, compared with 34.8 percent at December 31, 2010.  Higher debt levels due to the $4.5 billion long-term debt issuance in May 2011, partially offset by profit during the first half of 2011, contributed to the increase in the debt-to-capital ratio.

Capital to support growth – Capital expenditures during the first half of 2011 were $975 million, an increase of $315 million compared with the first half of 2010.  We expect capital expenditures to be about $3 billion in 2011, up from $1.66 billion in 2010.  At June 30, 2011, we were holding more cash than needed for normal operations in anticipation of funding the Bucyrus acquisition.  On July 8, 2011, we completed the acquisition of Bucyrus for approximately $8.8 billion. The Bucyrus transaction value consists of a payment to Bucyrus shareholders of $7.4 billion and the assumption of debt of  $1.6 billion, net of $0.2 billion of acquired cash.  The Bucyrus acquisition was funded with available cash, including the proceeds from the $4.5 billion May 2011 long-term debt issuance.  In 2011, we anticipate closing the acquisition of MWM for approximately euro 580 million.  The acquisition of MWM is expected to be funded by available cash.

Appropriately funded employee benefit plans –We contributed $235 million to our pension plans in the first half of 2011.  We currently anticipate full-year 2011 contributions of approximately $1 billion, most of which are voluntary contributions.

Paying dividends – Dividends paid totaled $565 million in the first half of 2011, representing 44 cents per share paid in both the first and second quarters.  Each quarter, our Board of Directors reviews the company’s dividend for the applicable quarter.  The Board evaluates the financial condition of the company and considers the economic outlook, corporate cash flow, the company’s liquidity needs, and the health and stability of global credit markets to determine whether to maintain or change the quarterly dividend.  On June 8, 2011, we increased the quarterly cash dividend 4.5 percent to 46 cents per share payable on August 20, 2011, to stockholders of record at the close of business on July 20, 2011.

63

Common stock repurchases – Pursuant to the February 2007 Board-authorized stock repurchase program, which expires on December 31, 2011, $3.8 billion of the $7.5 billion authorized was spent through 2008.  The stock repurchase program has been suspended since the first quarter of 2009.  We do not currently expect to buy back stock in 2011 due to the size of the Bucyrus acquisition completed on July 8, 2011, the MWM acquisition and planned capital expenditures.  Common shares outstanding as of June 30, 2011 were approximately 646 million.

Financial Products

Financial Products operating cash flow was $563 million through the first half of 2011, compared with $370 million for the same period a year ago.  Net cash used for investing activities through the first half of 2011 was $1.51 billion, compared to $354 million source of cash for the same period in 2010. This change is primarily the result of higher additions to finance receivables at Cat Financial, partially offset by higher collections.  The increased activity is primarily due to higher purchases of trade receivables from Caterpillar and subsequent collections of those receivables.  Net cash provided by financing activities was $366 million through the first half of 2011, compared to a $1.57 billion use of cash for the same period in 2010, primarily related to higher funding requirements and lower dividends paid to Caterpillar, partially offset by the net impact of intercompany borrowings.

Cat Financial continued to experience favorable liquidity conditions and market access across all key global funding markets during the second quarter of 2011. Commercial Paper (CP) market liquidity and pricing continued to be very favorable, with $2.9 billion in CP balances outstanding at quarter-end supported by a $5.73 billion revolving credit facility.  During the second quarter of 2011, Cat Financial issued term debt in four global markets, including $966 million in the U.S., €690 million in euro, $850 million in Mexican pesos and A$130 million in Australian dollar.  To maintain a strong liquidity position, Cat Financial held cash balances at the end of the second quarter of 2011 totaling $1.2 billion.  In addition, in July 2011, Cat Financial issued RMB 2.3 billion in medium-term notes in Hong Kong to fund their financing operations in China.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts. The more significant estimates include: residual values for leased assets, fair values for goodwill impairment tests, impairment of available-for-sale securities, warranty liability, stock-based compensation, reserves for product liability and insurance losses, postretirement benefits, post-sale discounts, credit losses and income taxes. We have incorporated many years of data into the determination of each of these estimates and we have not historically experienced significant adjustments. These assumptions are reviewed at least annually with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.  Following are the methods and assumptions used in determining our estimates and an indication of the risks inherent in each.

Residual values for leased assets — The residual values for Cat Financial’s leased assets, which are based upon the estimated wholesale market value of leased equipment at the time of the expiration of the lease, are based on a careful analysis of historical wholesale market sales prices, projected forward on a level trend line without consideration for inflation or possible future pricing action.  At the inception of the lease, residual values are derived from consideration of the following critical factors: market size and demand, any known significant market/product trends, total expected hours of usage, machine configuration, application, location, model changes, quantities and past re-marketing experience, third-party residual guarantees and contractual customer purchase options.  During the term of the leases, residual amounts are monitored.  If estimated market values reflect a non-temporary impairment due to economic factors, obsolescence or other adverse circumstances, the residuals are adjusted to the lower estimated values by a charge to earnings.  For equipment on operating leases, the charge is recognized through depreciation expense.  For finance leases, it is recognized through a reduction of finance revenue.

Fair values for goodwill impairment tests — We test goodwill for impairment annually, at the reporting unit level, and whenever events or circumstances make it likely that an impairment may have occurred, such as a significant adverse change in the business climate or a decision to sell all or a portion of a reporting unit.  We perform our annual goodwill impairment test as of October 1 and monitor for interim triggering events on an ongoing basis.

Goodwill is reviewed for impairment utilizing a two-step process.  The first step requires us to compare the fair value of each reporting unit to the respective carrying value, which includes goodwill.  If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, the goodwill is not considered impaired.  If the carrying value is greater than the fair value, there is an indication that an impairment may exist and the second step is required.  Additionally, if the carrying amount of a reporting unit is zero or negative, the second step of the goodwill impairment test is also required if an analysis of qualitative factors indicates it more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists.  In step two, the implied fair value of the goodwill is calculated as the excess of the fair value of a reporting unit over the fair values assigned to its assets and liabilities.  If the implied fair value of goodwill is less than the carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill, the difference is recognized as an impairment loss.

64

The impairment test process requires valuation of the respective reporting unit, which we primarily determine using an income approach based on a discounted five year forecasted cash flow with a year-five residual value. The residual value is computed using the constant growth method, which values the forecasted cash flows in perpetuity. The income approach is supported by a reconciliation of our calculated fair value for Caterpillar to the company’s market capitalization. The assumptions about future cash flows and growth rates are based on each reporting unit’s long-term forecast and are subject to review and approval by senior management. The discount rate is based on our weighted average cost of capital, which we believe approximates the rate from a market participant’s perspective. The estimated fair value could be impacted by changes in market conditions, interest rates, growth rates, tax rates, costs, pricing and capital expenditures.

A prolonged economic downturn resulting in lower long-term growth rates and reduced long-term profitability may reduce the fair value of our reporting units. Industry specific events or circumstances that have a negative impact to the valuation assumptions may also reduce the fair value of our reporting units.  Should such events occur and it becomes more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value has fallen below its carrying value, we will perform an interim goodwill impairment test(s), in addition to the annual impairment test.  Future impairment tests may result in a goodwill impairment, depending on the outcome of both step one and step two of the impairment review process.  A goodwill impairment would be reported as a non-cash charge to earnings.

Impairment of available-for-sale securities — Available-for-sale securities, primarily at Cat Insurance, are reviewed at least quarterly to identify fair values below cost which may indicate that a security is impaired and should be written down to fair value.

For debt securities, once a security’s fair value is below cost we utilize data gathered by investment managers, external sources and internal research to monitor the performance of the security to determine whether an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred.  These reviews, which include an analysis of whether it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery, consist of both quantitative and qualitative analysis and require a degree of management judgment.  Securities in a loss position are monitored and assessed at least quarterly based on severity of loss and may be deemed other-than-temporarily impaired at any time.  Once a security’s fair value has been twenty percent or more below its original cost for six consecutive months, the security will be other-than-temporarily impaired unless there are sufficient facts and circumstances supporting otherwise.

For equity securities in a loss position, determining whether the security is other-than-temporarily impaired requires an analysis of the securities’ historical sector returns and volatility. This information is utilized to estimate the security’s future fair value to assess whether the security has the ability to recover to its original cost over a reasonable period of time as follows:

·Historical annualized sector returns over a two-year period are analyzed to estimate the security’s fair value over the next two years.

·The volatility factor for the security is applied to the sector historical returns to further estimate the fair value of the security over the next two years.

In the event the estimated future fair value is less than the original cost, qualitative factors are then considered in determining whether a security is other-than-temporarily impaired, which includes reviews of the following:  significant changes in the regulatory, economic or technological environment of the investee, significant changes in the general market condition of either the geographic area or the industry in which the investee operates, and length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost.  These qualitative factors are subjective and require a degree of management judgment.

Warranty liability — At the time a sale is recognized, we record estimated future warranty costs.  The warranty liability is determined by applying historical claim rate experience to the current field population and dealer inventory.  Generally, historical claim rates are based on actual warranty experience for each product by machine model/engine size.  Specific rates are developed for each product build month and are updated monthly based on actual warranty claim experience.  Warranty costs may differ from those estimated if actual claim rates are higher or lower than our historical rates.

Stock-based compensation — We use a lattice-based option-pricing model to calculate the fair value of our stock options and SARs.  The calculation of the fair value of the awards using the lattice-based option-pricing model is affected by our stock price on the date of grant as well as assumptions regarding the following:

·Volatility is a measure of the amount by which the stock price is expected to fluctuate each year during the expected term of the award and is based on historical and current implied volatilities from traded options on Caterpillar stock. The implied volatilities from traded options are impacted by changes in market conditions.  An increase in the volatility would result in an increase in our expense.

65

·The expected term represents the period of time that awards granted are expected to be outstanding and is an output of the lattice-based option-pricing model. In determining the expected term of the award, future exercise and forfeiture patterns are estimated from Caterpillar employee historical exercise behavior.  These patterns are also affected by the vesting conditions of the award.  Changes in the future exercise behavior of employees or in the vesting period of the award could result in a change in the expected term.  An increase in the expected term would result in an increase in our expense.

·The weighted-average dividend yield is based on Caterpillar’s historical dividend yields.  As holders of stock-based awards do not receive dividend payments, this could result in employees retaining the award for a longer period of time if dividend yields decrease or exercising the award sooner if dividend yields increase.  A decrease in the dividend yield would result in an increase in our expense.

·The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at time of grant.  As the risk-free interest rate increases, the expected term increases, resulting in an increase in our expense.

The fair value of our RSUs is determined by reducing the stock price on the date of grant by the present value of the estimated dividends to be paid during the vesting period. The estimated dividends are based on Caterpillar’s weighted-average dividend yields.  A decrease in the dividend yield would result in an increase in our expense.

Stock-based compensation expense recognized during the period is based on the value of the number of awards that are expected to vest.  In determining the stock-based compensation expense to be recognized, a forfeiture rate is applied to the fair value of the award.  This rate represents the number of awards that are expected to be forfeited prior to vesting and is based on Caterpillar employee historical behavior.  Changes in the future behavior of employees could impact this rate.  A decrease in this rate would result in an increase in our expense.

Product liability and insurance loss reserve — We determine these reserves based upon reported claims in process of settlement and actuarial estimates for losses incurred but not reported. Loss reserves, including incurred but not reported reserves, are based on estimates and ultimate settlements may vary significantly from such estimates due to increased claims frequency or severity over historical levels.

Postretirement benefits — Primary actuarial assumptions were determined as follows:

·The U.S. expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is based on our estimate of long-term passive returns for equities and fixed income securities weighted by the allocation of our plan assets.  Based on historical performance, we increase the passive returns due to our active management of the plan assets.  A similar process is used to determine the rate for our non-U.S. pension plans.  This rate is impacted by changes in general market conditions, but because it represents a long-term rate, it is not significantly impacted by short-term market swings.  Changes in our allocation of plan assets would also impact this rate.  For example, a shift to more fixed income securities would lower the rate. A decrease in the rate would increase our expense.

·The assumed discount rate is used to discount future benefit obligations back to today’s dollars.  The U.S. discount rate is based on a benefit cash flow-matching approach and represents the rate at which our benefit obligations could effectively be settled as of our measurement date, December 31.  The benefit cash flow-matching approach involves analyzing Caterpillar’s projected cash flows against a high quality bond yield curve, calculated using a wide population of corporate Aa bonds available on the measurement date.  The very highest and lowest yielding bonds (top and bottom 10 percent) are excluded from the analysis.  A similar approach is used to determine the assumed discount rate for our most significant non-U.S. plans. This rate is sensitive to changes in interest rates.  A decrease in the discount rate would increase our obligation and future expense.

·The expected rate of compensation increase is used to develop benefit obligations using projected pay at retirement. It represents average long-term salary increases. This rate is influenced by our long-term compensation policies.  An increase in the rate would increase our obligation and expense.

·The assumed health care trend rate represents the rate at which health care costs are assumed to increase and is based on historical and expected experience.  Changes in our projections of future health care costs due to general economic conditions and those specific to health care (e.g., technology driven cost changes) will impact this trend rate.  An increase in the trend rate would increase our obligation and expense.

Post-sale discount reserve — We provide discounts to dealers through merchandising programs.  We have numerous programs that are designed to promote the sale of our products.  The most common dealer programs provide a discount when the dealer sells a product to a targeted end user.  The amount of accrued post-sale discounts was $791 million and $779 million as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 respectively.  The reserve represents discounts that we expect to pay on previously sold units and is reviewed

66

at least quarterly.  The reserve is adjusted if discounts paid differ from those estimated.  Historically, those adjustments have not been material.

Credit loss reserve — Management’s ongoing evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses considers both impaired and unimpaired finance receivables and takes into consideration past loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of underlying collateral and current economic conditions. In estimating probable losses we review accounts that are past due, non-performing, in bankruptcy or otherwise identified as at risk for potential credit loss including accounts which have been modified.  Accounts are identified as at risk for potential credit loss using information available about the customer, such as financial statements, news reports and published credit ratings as well as general information regarding industry trends and the general economic environment.

The allowance for credit losses attributable to specific accounts is based on the most probable source of repayment, which is normally the liquidation of collateral. In determining collateral value we estimate current fair value of collateral and consider credit enhancements such as additional collateral and third-party guarantees. The allowance for credit losses attributable to the remaining accounts is a general allowance based upon the risk in the portfolio, primarily using probabilities of default and an estimate of associated losses.  In addition, qualitative factors not able to be fully captured in previous analysis including industry trends, macroeconomic factors and model imprecision are considered in the evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses. These qualitative factors are subjective and require a degree of management judgment.

While management believes it has exercised prudent judgment and applied reasonable assumptions, there can be no assurance that in the future, changes in economic conditions or other factors would not cause changes in the financial health of our customers. If the financial health of our customer deteriorates, the timing and level of payments received could be impacted and therefore, could result in a change to our estimated losses.

Income tax reserve — We are subject to the income tax laws of the many jurisdictions in which we operate.  These tax laws are complex, and the manner in which they apply to our facts is sometimes open to interpretation.  In establishing the provision for income taxes, we must make judgments about the application of these inherently complex tax laws.

Despite our belief that our tax return positions are consistent with applicable tax laws, we believe that taxing authorities could challenge certain positions. Settlement of any challenge can result in no change, a complete disallowance, or some partial adjustment reached through negotiations or litigation. We record tax benefits for uncertain tax positions based upon management’s evaluation of the information available at the reporting date.  To be recognized in the financial statements, a tax benefit must be at least more likely than not of being sustained based on technical merits.  The benefit for positions meeting the recognition threshold is measured as the largest benefit more likely than not of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information.  Significant judgment is required in making these determinations and adjustments to unrecognized tax benefits may be necessary to reflect actual taxes payable upon settlement.  Adjustments related to positions impacting the effective tax rate affect the provision for income taxes.  Adjustments related to positions impacting the timing of deductions impact deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Our income tax positions and analysis are based on currently enacted tax law.  Future changes in tax law could significantly impact the provision for income taxes, the amount of taxes payable, and the deferred tax asset and liability balances.  Deferred tax assets generally represent tax benefits for tax deductions or credits available in future tax returns.  Certain estimates and assumptions are required to determine whether it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the benefit of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.  In making this assessment, management analyzes and estimates the impact of future taxable income, reversing temporary differences and available prudent and feasible tax planning strategies.  Should a change in facts or circumstances lead to a change in judgment about the ultimate realizability of a deferred tax asset, we record or adjust the related valuation allowance in the period that the change in facts and circumstances occurs, along with a corresponding increase or decrease in the provision for income taxes.

A provision for U.S. income taxes has not been recorded on undistributed profits of our non-U.S. subsidiaries that we have determined to be indefinitely reinvested outside the U.S.  If management intentions or U.S. tax law changes in the future, there may be a significant negative impact on the provision for income taxes in the period the change occurs.

GLOBAL WORKFORCE

Caterpillar worldwide full-time employment was 108,175 at the end of the second quarter of 2011 compared with 97,487 at the end of the second quarter of 2010, an increase of 10,688 full-time employees.  In addition, we increased the flexible workforce by 8,122 for a total increase in the global workforce of 18,810.

67

We increased our workforce primarily to support higher sales volume across all geographic regions.  In addition, acquisitions, primarily EMD, added 3,079 people, while the sale of Carter Machinery in the first quarter of 2011 reduced the workforce by 1,157 people.

We closed the acquisition of Bucyrus after the end of the second quarter, and, as a result, the approximately 10,000 additional employees are not included in the global workforce summary above.

OTHER MATTERS

Environmental and Legal Matters

The company is regulated by federal, state and international environmental laws governing our use, transport and disposal of substances and control of emissions. In addition to governing our manufacturing and other operations, these laws often impact the development of our products, including, but not limited to, required compliance with air emissions standards applicable to internal combustion engines. Compliance with these existing laws has not had a material impact on our capital expenditures, earnings or global competitive position.

We are engaged in remedial activities at a number of locations, often with other companies, pursuant to federal and state laws.  When it is probable we will pay remedial costs at a site and those costs can be reasonably estimated, the costs are charged against our earnings.  In formulating that estimate, we do not consider amounts expected to be recovered from insurance companies or others.  The amount recorded for environmental remediation is not material and is included in Accrued expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

We cannot reasonably estimate costs at sites in the very early stages of remediation.  Currently, we have a few sites in the very early stages of remediation, and there is no more than a remote chance that a material amount for remedial activities at any individual site, or at all sites in the aggregate, will be required.

We have disclosed certain individual legal proceedings in this filing.  Additionally, we are involved in other unresolved legal actions that arise in the normal course of business. The most prevalent of these unresolved actions involve disputes related to product design, manufacture and performance liability (including claimed asbestos and welding fumes exposure), contracts, employment issues, environmental matters or intellectual property rights.  The aggregate range of reasonably possible losses in excess of accrued liabilities, if any, associated with these unresolved legal actions is not material.  In some cases, we cannot reasonably estimate a range of loss because there is insufficient information regarding the matter.  However, there is no more than a remote chance that any liability arising from these matters would be material.  Although it is not possible to predict with certainty the outcome of these unresolved legal actions, we believe that these actions will not individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

On May 14, 2007, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a Notice of Violation to Caterpillar Inc., alleging various violations of Clean Air Act Sections 203, 206 and 207. EPA claims that Caterpillar violated such sections by shipping engines and catalytic converter after-treatment devices separately, introducing into commerce a number of uncertified and/or misbuilt engines, and failing to timely report emissions-related defects.  On July 9, 2010, the Department of Justice issued a penalty demand to Caterpillar seeking a civil penalty of $3.2 million and implementation of injunctive relief involving expanded use of certain technologies. On July 28, 2011, EPA and the U.S. Department of Justice filed and lodged a civil complaint and consent decree with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia regarding the matter.   Caterpillar has agreed to the terms of the consent decree, which require payment of a civil penalty of $2.55 million, retirement of a small number of emissions credits and expanded defect-related reporting.  If approved by the U.S. District Court after expiration of the mandatory public comment period, the consent decree will resolve this matter.  Under the terms of the consent decree, and subject to a settlement agreement, $510,000 of the stipulated $2.55 million penalty will be paid to the California Air Resources Board relating to engines covered by the consent decree that were placed into service in California.

On February 8, 2009, an incident at Caterpillar’s Joliet, Illinois facility resulted in the release of approximately 3,000 gallons of wastewater into the Des Plaines River.  In coordination with state and federal authorities, appropriate remediation measures have been taken.  On February 23, 2009, the Illinois Attorney General filed a Complaint in Will County Circuit Court containing seven counts of violations of state environmental laws and regulations.  Caterpillar settled this matter with the State of Illinois in 2010, resolving all allegations in the Complaint.  This settlement does not have a material adverse impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial position, or liquidity. In addition, on March 5, 2009, the EPA served Caterpillar with a Notice of Intent to file a Civil Administrative Action (notice), indicating the EPA’s intent to seek civil penalties for alleged violations of the Clean Water Act and Oil Pollution Act.  On January 25, 2010, the EPA issued a revised notice seeking civil penalties in the amount of $167,800.  Caterpillar settled this matter with the EPA on July 12, 2011, resolving all allegations in the notice.  This settlement does not have a material adverse impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

68

In May 2010, an incident at Caterpillar’s Gosselies, Belgium facility resulted in the release of wastewater into the Perupont River.  In coordination with local authorities, appropriate remediation measures have been taken.  In January 2011, Caterpillar learned that the public prosecutor for the Belgian administrative district of Charleroi had referred the matter to an examining magistrate of the civil court of Charleroi for further investigation.  Caterpillar is cooperating with the Belgian authorities on this investigation.  At this time, it is unlikely that penalties will be assessed, and any penalties are unlikely to exceed $100,000.  Management does not believe this matter will have a material adverse impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

Retirement Benefits

We recognized pension expense of $168 million and $327 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to $154 million and $310 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010.  Increased amortization of net actuarial losses due to lower discount rates at the end of 2010 and significant asset losses in 2008, was partially offset by a decrease in service cost due to changes in our U.S. pension plans (discussed below).  Accounting guidance on retirement benefits requires companies to discount future benefit obligations back to today’s dollars using a discount rate that is based on high-quality fixed-income investments. A decrease in the discount rate increases the pension benefit obligation, while an increase in the discount rate decreases the pension benefit obligation.  This increase or decrease in the pension benefit obligation is recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and subsequently amortized into earnings as an actuarial gain or loss.  The guidance also requires companies to use an expected long-term rate of asset return for computing current year pension expense. Differences between the actual and expected returns are also recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and subsequently amortized into earnings as actuarial gains and losses.  As of June 30, 2011, total actuarial losses, recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), related to pensions were $5.81 billion.  The majority of the actuarial losses are due to lower discount rates, losses from other demographic and economic assumptions over the past several years and plan asset losses.

Other postretirement benefit expense was $80 million and $160 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to $50 million and $99 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010.  The increase in expense was primarily the result of increased amortization of net actuarial losses due to lower discount rates at the end of 2010 and changes in our health care trend assumption, partially offset by gains from lower than expected health care costs.  Actuarial losses, recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), for other postretirement benefit plans were $1.14 billion at June 30, 2011.  These losses mainly reflect changes in our health care trend assumption and several years of declining discount rates, partially offset by gains from lower than expected health care costs.

Actuarial losses for both pensions and other postretirement benefits will be impacted in future periods by actual asset returns, actual health care inflation, discount rate changes, actual demographic experience and other factors that impact these expenses. These losses, reported in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), will be amortized as a component of net periodic benefit cost on a straight-line basis over the average remaining service period of active employees expected to receive benefits under the benefit plans. At the end of 2010, the average remaining service period of active employees was 11 years for our U.S. pension plans, 15 years for our non-U.S. pension plans and 7 years for other postretirement benefit plans.  We expect our amortization of net actuarial losses to increase approximately $150 million in 2011 as compared to 2010, primarily due to asset losses in 2008 and a decrease in the discount rate during 2010.

In March 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (the PPACA) and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (H.R. 4872) which amends certain provisions of the PPACA were signed into law. The Medicare Part D retiree drug subsidies effectively become taxable beginning in 2013.

In August 2010, we announced changes in our U.S. support and management pension plans.  On January 1, 2011, retirement benefits for U.S. support and management employees began transitioning from defined benefit pension plans to defined contribution plans.  The transition date was determined for each employee based upon age and years of service or proximity to retirement.  Pension benefit accruals were frozen for certain employees on December 31, 2010, and will freeze for remaining employees on December 31, 2019.  As of these dates, employees will move to the new retirement benefit that will provide a frozen pension benefit and a 401(k) plan that will include a matching contribution and a new annual employer contribution.  The plan change required a re-measurement as of August 31, 2010, which resulted in an increase in our Liability for postemployment benefits of $1.32 billion and a decrease in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) of $831 million net of tax.  The increase in the liability was due to a decline in the discount rate and lower than expected asset returns at the re-measurement date.  Curtailment expense of $28 million was also recognized for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 as a result of the plan change.

We expect our total defined benefit expense to increase approximately $100 million in 2011 as compared to 2010.  This increase in expense is primarily due to increased amortization of net actuarial losses due to lower discount rates at the end of 2010, significant asset losses in 2008 and changes in our health care trend assumption.  These increases are partially offset by a decrease in pension service cost and $28 million of curtailment expense recognized in 2010 due to the changes in our U.S. pension plans.

69

We made $104 million and $235 million of contributions to our U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively. We currently anticipate full-year 2011 contributions of approximately $1 billion, most of which are voluntary contributions. We made $300 million and $548 million of contributions to our U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively.

Order Backlog

The dollar amount of backlog believed to be firm was approximately $21.9 billion at June 30, 2011 and $18.7 billion at December 31, 2010.  Of the total backlog, approximately $3.9 billion at June 30, 2011 and $2.8 billion at December 31, 2010 was not expected to be filled in the following twelve months.  Our backlog is generally highest in the first and second quarters because of seasonal buying trends in our industry.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The following definitions are provided for “non-GAAP financial measures” in connection with Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission.   These non-GAAP financial measures have no standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP and therefore are unlikely to be comparable to the calculation of similar measures for other companies.  Management does not intend these items to be considered in isolation or substitutes for the related GAAP measures.

Bucyrus-Related Profit-Per-Share Impacts

We incurred Bucyrus acquisition costs of $204 million, or $0.20 per share, and $249 million or $0.24 per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively.  These costs were related to losses on interest rate swaps put in place in anticipation of issuing debt for the acquisition, costs for a bridge financing facility, advisory and legal costs and interest expense on new debt.  We believe it is important to separately quantify the profit per share impact in order for our 2011 actual results to be meaningful to our readers.  Reconciliation of profit per share excluding Bucyrus impacts to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, profit per share, is as follows:

	Second Quarter 2011	First Half 2011
Profit per share	$1.52	$3.36
Profit per share Bucyrus acquisition costs	0.20	0.24
Profit per share excluding Bucyrus acquisition costs	$1.72	$3.60

Supplemental Consolidating Data

We are providing supplemental consolidating data for the purpose of additional analysis.  The data has been grouped as follows:

Consolidated – Caterpillar Inc. and its subsidiaries.

Machinery and Power Systems – The Machinery and Power Systems data contained in the schedules on pages 72 to 79 are “non-GAAP financial measures” as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission in Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K.  This non-GAAP financial measure has no standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP, and therefore, is unlikely to be comparable with the calculation of similar measures for other companies.  Management does not intend this item to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related GAAP measure.  Caterpillar defines Machinery and Power Systems as it is presented in the supplemental data as Caterpillar Inc. and its subsidiaries with Financial Products accounted for on the equity basis.  Machinery and Power Systems information relates to the design, manufacture and marketing of our products.  Financial Products information relates to the financing to customers and dealers for the purchase and lease of Caterpillar and other equipment.  The nature of these businesses is different especially with regard to the financial position and cash flow items.  Caterpillar management utilizes this presentation internally to highlight these differences.  We also believe this presentation will assist readers in understanding our business.

Financial Products – Our finance and insurance subsidiaries, primarily Cat Financial and Cat Insurance.

Consolidating Adjustments – Eliminations of transactions between Machinery and Power Systems and Financial Products.

Pages 72 to 79 reconcile Machinery and Power Systems with Financial Products on the equity basis to Caterpillar Inc. consolidated financial information.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

17. Fair Value Measurements

A. Fair value measurements

The guidance on fair value measurements defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants.  This guidance also specifies a fair value hierarchy based upon the observability of inputs used in valuation techniques.  Observable inputs (highest level) reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs (lowest level) reflect internally developed market assumptions.  In accordance with this guidance, fair value measurements are classified under the following hierarchy:

· Level 1 — Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

· Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs or significant value-drivers are observable in active markets.

· Level 3 — Model-derived valuations in which one or more significant inputs or significant value-drivers are unobservable.

When available, we use quoted market prices to determine fair value, and we classify such measurements within Level 1.  In some cases where market prices are not available, we make use of observable market based inputs to calculate fair value, in which case the measurements are classified within Level 2.  If quoted or observable market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that use, where possible, current market-based parameters such as interest rates, yield curves and currency rates.  These measurements are classified within Level 3.

Fair value measurements are classified according to the lowest level input or value-driver that is significant to the valuation.  A measurement may therefore be classified within Level 3 even though there may be significant inputs that are readily observable.

The guidance on fair value measurements expanded the definition of fair value to include the consideration of nonperformance risk.  Nonperformance risk refers to the risk that an obligation (either by a counterparty or Caterpillar) will not be fulfilled.  For our financial assets traded in an active market (Level 1 and certain Level 2), the nonperformance risk is included in the market price.  For certain other financial assets and liabilities (Level 2 and 3), our fair value calculations have been adjusted accordingly.

Available-for-sale securities

Our available-for-sale securities, primarily at Cat Insurance, include a mix of equity and debt instruments (see Note 8 for additional information).  Fair values for our U.S. treasury bonds and equity securities are based upon valuations for identical instruments in active markets.  Fair values for other government bonds, corporate bonds and mortgage-backed debt securities are based upon models that take into consideration such market-based factors as recent sales, risk-free yield curves and prices of similarly rated bonds.

Derivative financial instruments

The fair value of interest rate swap derivatives is primarily based on models that utilize the appropriate market-based forward swap curves and zero-coupon interest rates to determine discounted cash flows.  The fair value of foreign currency and commodity forward and option contracts is based on a valuation model that discounts cash flows resulting from the differential between the contract price and the market-based forward rate.

Securitized retained interests

The fair value of securitized retained interests is based upon a valuation model that calculates the present value of future expected cash flows using key assumptions for credit losses, prepayment rates and discount rates.  These assumptions are based on our historical experience, market trends and anticipated performance relative to the particular assets securitized.

Guarantees

The fair value of guarantees is based upon the premium we would require to issue the same guarantee in a stand-alone arms-length transaction with an unrelated party. If quoted or observable market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that utilize current market-based assumptions.

Assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis at fair value, primarily related to Financial Products, included in our Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as of  June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 are summarized below:

Below are roll-forwards of assets and liabilities measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.  These instruments were valued using pricing models that, in management’s judgment, reflect the assumptions of a marketplace participant.

In addition to the amounts above, Cat Financial had impaired loans of $213 million and $171 million as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.  A loan is considered impaired when management determines that collection of contractual amounts due is not probable.  In these cases, an allowance for credit losses is established based primarily on the fair value of associated collateral.  As the collateral’s fair value is based on observable market prices and/or current appraised values, the impaired loans are classified as Level 2 measurements.

B.           Fair values of financial instruments

In addition to the methods and assumptions we use to record the fair value of financial instruments as discussed in the Fair value measurements section above, we used the following methods and assumptions to estimate the fair value of our financial instruments.

Cash and short-term investments

Carrying amount approximated fair value.

Restricted cash and short-term investments

Carrying amount approximated fair value.  Restricted cash and short-term investments are included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

Finance receivables

Fair value was estimated by discounting the future cash flows using current rates, representative of receivables with similar remaining maturities.

Wholesale inventory receivables

Fair value was estimated by discounting the future cash flows using current rates, representative of receivables with similar remaining maturities.

Short-term borrowings

Carrying amount approximated fair value.

Long-term debt

Fair value for Machinery and Power Systems fixed rate debt was estimated based on quoted market prices.  For Financial Products, fixed and floating rate debt was estimated based on quoted market prices.  Commercial paper carrying amounts approximated fair value.

Please refer to the table below for the fair values of our financial instruments.

Derivative Financial Instruments and Risk Management

Risk Management Policy

Our earnings and cash flow are subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices.  In addition, the amount of Caterpillar stock that can be repurchased under our stock repurchase program is impacted by movements in the price of the stock.  Our Risk Management Policy (policy) allows for the use of derivative financial instruments to prudently manage foreign currency exchange rate, interest rate, commodity price and Caterpillar stock price exposures.  Our policy specifies that derivatives are not to be used for speculative purposes.  Derivatives that we use are primarily foreign currency forward and option contracts, interest rate swaps, commodity forward and option contracts, and stock repurchase contracts.  Our derivative activities are subject to the management, direction and control of our senior financial officers.  Risk management practices, including the use of financial derivative instruments, are presented to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors at least annually.

All derivatives are recognized on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position at their fair value. On the date the derivative contract is entered into, we designate the derivative as (1) a hedge of the fair value of a recognized asset or liability (fair value hedge), (2) a hedge of a forecasted transaction or the variability of cash flow to be paid (cash flow hedge), or (3) an undesignated instrument. Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is qualified, designated and highly effective as a fair value hedge, along with the gain or loss on the hedged recognized asset or liability that is attributable to the hedged risk, are recorded in current earnings. Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is qualified, designated and highly effective as a cash flow hedge are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (AOCI) on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position until they are reclassified to earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings.  Changes in the fair value of undesignated derivative instruments and the ineffective portion of designated derivative instruments are reported in current earnings. Cash flow from designated derivative financial instruments is classified within the same category as the item being hedged on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flow.  Cash flow from undesignated derivative financial instruments is included in the investing category on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flow.

We formally document all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as the risk-management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions.  This process includes linking all derivatives that are designated as fair value hedges to specific assets and liabilities on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and linking cash flow hedges to specific forecasted transactions or variability of cash flow.

We also formally assess, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the designated derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flow of hedged items.  When a derivative is determined not to be highly effective as a hedge or the underlying hedged transaction is no longer probable, we discontinue hedge accounting prospectively, in accordance with the derecognition criteria for hedge accounting.

On July 8, 2011, we completed our acquisition of Bucyrus International, Inc. (Bucyrus).  Bucyrus is a designer, manufacturer and marketer of high productivity mining equipment for the surface and underground mining industries.  The acquisition was driven by our key strategic imperative to expand our leadership and support for customers in the mining industry.  The total purchase price was approximately $8.8 billion, consisting of $7.4 billion for the purchase of all outstanding shares of Bucyrus common stock at $92 per share and $1.6 billion of assumed Bucyrus debt, substantially all of which was repaid subsequent to closing, net of $0.2 billion of acquired cash.

We funded the acquisition using a mix of available cash, commercial paper borrowings and approximately $4.5 billion of long-term debt issued in May 2011.  On May 24, 2011, we issued $500 million of Floating Rate Senior Notes (Three-month USD LIBOR plus 0.10%) due in 2012 and $750 million of Floating Rate Senior Notes (Three-month USD LIBOR plus 0.17%) due in 2013.  The interest rates for the Floating Rate Senior Notes will be reset quarterly.  We also issued $750 million of 1.375% Senior Notes due in 2014, $1.25 billion of 3.90% Senior Notes due in 2021, and $1.25 billion of 5.20% Senior Notes due in 2041.  The Notes are unsecured obligations of Caterpillar and rank equally with all other unsecured indebtedness.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, we recognized $204 million and $249 million, respectively, in costs related to the acquisition of Bucyrus.

Due to the limited time since the date of the acquisition, the initial accounting for this business combination is incomplete as of the date of this filing.  As such, we are not able to make certain business combination disclosures at this time including amounts to be recognized at the acquisition date for the major classes of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including pre-acquisition contingencies, goodwill and other intangibles.

New Accounting Guidance

6 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2011

New Accounting Guidance

New Accounting Guidance

2. New Accounting Guidance

Fair value measurements - In January 2010, the FASB issued accounting guidance that requires the gross presentation of activity within the Level 3 fair value measurement roll forward and details of transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2 fair value measurements.  It also clarifies existing disclosure requirements regarding the level of disaggregation of fair value measurements and disclosures on inputs.  We adopted this new accounting guidance for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2010.  The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements.  See Note 17 for additional information.

Accounting for transfers of financial assets - In June 2009, the FASB issued accounting guidance on accounting for transfers of financial assets.  This guidance amends previous guidance and includes: the elimination of the qualifying special-purpose entity (QSPE) concept; a new participating interest definition that must be met for transfers of portions of financial assets to be eligible for sale accounting; clarifications and changes to the derecognition criteria for a transfer to be accounted for as a sale; and a change to the amount of recognized gain or loss on a transfer of financial assets accounted for as a sale when beneficial interests are received by the transferor.  Additionally, the guidance requires extensive new disclosures regarding an entity’s involvement in a transfer of financial assets.  Finally, existing QSPEs (prior to the effective date of this guidance) must be evaluated for consolidation by reporting entities in accordance with the applicable consolidation guidance upon the elimination of this concept.  We adopted this new guidance on January 1, 2010.  The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements.  See Note 15 for additional information.

Consolidation of variable interest entities - In June 2009, the FASB issued accounting guidance on the consolidation of VIEs.  This new guidance revises previous guidance by eliminating the exemption for qualifying special purpose entities, by establishing a new approach for determining who should consolidate a VIE and by changing when it is necessary to reassess who should consolidate a VIE.  We adopted this new guidance on January 1, 2010.  The adoption of this guidance resulted in the consolidation of QSPEs related to Cat Financial’s asset-backed securitization program that were previously not recorded on our consolidated financial statements.  The restricted assets (Receivables-finance, Long-term receivables-finance, Prepaid expenses and other current assets, and Other assets) of the consolidated QSPEs totaled $324 million at January 1, 2010.  The liabilities (Accrued expenses, Long-term debt due within one year-Financial Products and Long-term debt due after one year-Financial Products) of the consolidated QSPEs totaled $327 million at January 1, 2010.  See Note 15 for additional information.

Disclosures about the credit quality of financing receivables and the allowance for credit losses - In July 2010, the FASB issued accounting guidance on disclosures about the credit quality of financing receivables and the allowance for credit losses.  The guidance expands disclosures for the allowance for credit losses and financing receivables by requiring entities to disclose information at disaggregated levels.  It also requires disclosure of credit quality indicators, past due information and modifications of financing receivables.  Also, in April 2011, the FASB issued guidance clarifying when a restructuring of a receivable should be considered a troubled debt restructuring by providing additional guidance for determining whether the creditor has granted a concession and whether the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties.  For end of period balances, the new disclosures were effective December 31, 2010 and did not have a material impact on our financial statements.  For activity during a reporting period, the disclosures were effective January 1, 2011 and did not have a material impact on our financial statements.  The disclosures related to modifications of financing receivables, as well as the guidance clarifying when a restructured receivable should be considered a troubled debt restructuring will be effective July 1, 2011, and we do not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our financial statements.  See Note 15 for additional information.

Presentation of comprehensive income – In June 2011, the FASB issued accounting guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income.  The guidance provides two options for presenting net income and other comprehensive income.  The total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income may be presented in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements.  This guidance will be effective January 1, 2012 and we do not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our financial statements.

8. Available-For-Sale Securities

We have investments in certain debt and equity securities, primarily at Cat Insurance, that have been classified as available-for-sale and recorded at fair value based upon quoted market prices. These fair values are primarily included in Other assets in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. Unrealized gains and losses arising from the revaluation of available-for-sale securities are included, net of applicable deferred income taxes, in equity (Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position).  Realized gains and losses on sales of investments are generally determined using the FIFO (first-in, first-out) method for debt instruments and the specific identification method for equity securities.  Realized gains and losses are included in Other income (expense) in the Consolidated Statement of Results of Operations.

1      Indicates length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position.

Corporate Bonds.  The unrealized losses on our investments in corporate bonds and asset-backed securities relate primarily to changes in interest rates and credit-related yield spreads since time of purchase.  We do not intend to sell the investments and it is not likely that we will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis.  We do not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of June 30, 2011.

Mortgage-Backed Debt Securities.  The unrealized losses on our investments in mortgage-backed securities and mortgage-related asset-backed securities relate primarily to the continuation of elevated housing delinquencies and default rates, risk aversion and credit-related yield spreads since time of purchase.  We do not intend to sell the investments and it is not likely that we will be required to sell these investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis.  We do not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of June 30, 2011.

Equity Securities.  Cat Insurance maintains a well-diversified equity portfolio consisting of two specific mandates:  large capitalization value stocks and smaller company growth stocks.  U.S. equity valuations were generally lower for the three months ended June 30, 2011 as concerns linger over Europe’s debt crisis and the U.S. economy’s recovery.  In each case where unrealized losses exist, the respective company’s management is taking corrective action in order to increase shareholder value.   We do not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of June 30, 2011.

The fair value of the available-for-sale debt securities at June 30, 2011, by contractual maturity, is shown below. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to prepay and creditors may have the right to call obligations.

Income Taxes

13. Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes reflects an estimated annual effective tax rate of 29 percent for the first six months of 2011 and 2010, excluding the discrete items discussed below.   The 2011 estimated annual effective tax rate of 29 percent is higher than the comparable full-year 2010 rate of 25 percent primarily due to an expected change in our geographic mix of profits from a tax perspective.

The provision for income taxes in 2011 also includes a benefit of $113 million due to planned repatriation of non-U.S. earnings with available foreign tax credits in excess of the U.S. tax liability on the dividend offset by a $41 million increase in reserves for prior year unrecognized tax benefits.  The 2010 provision for income taxes included a charge of $90 million due to the enactment of U.S. healthcare legislation, effectively making government subsidies received for Medicare equivalent prescription drug coverage taxable, offset by a $34 million benefit related to the recognition of refund claims for prior tax years and a $26 million benefit for the release of a valuation allowance.

9. Postretirement Benefits

A.  Pension and postretirement benefit costs

As announced in August 2010, on January 1, 2011, our retirement benefits for U.S. support and management employees began transitioning from defined benefit pension plans to defined contribution plans.  The transition date was determined for each employee based upon age and years of service or proximity to retirement.  Pension benefit accruals were frozen for certain employees on December 31, 2010, and will freeze for remaining employees on December 31, 2019.  As of these dates employees will move to the new retirement benefit that will provide a frozen pension benefit and a 401(k) plan that will include a matching contribution and a new annual employer contribution.  The plan change required a re-measurement as of August 31, 2010, which resulted in an increase in our Liability for postemployment benefits of $1.32 billion and a decrease in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) of $831 million net of tax.  The increase in the liability was due to a decline in the discount rate and lower than expected asset returns at the re-measurement date.  Curtailment expense of $28 million was also recognized for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 as a result of the plan change.

In March 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (the PPACA) and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (H.R. 4872) which amends certain provisions of the PPACA were signed into law.  As discussed in Note 13, the Medicare Part D retiree drug subsidies effectively become taxable beginning in 2013.

1 Prior service costs for both pension and other postretirement benefits are generally amortized using the straight-line method over the average remaining service period to the full retirement eligibility date of employees expected to receive benefits from the plan amendment. For other postretirement benefit plans in which all or almost all of the plan’s participants are fully eligible for benefits under the plan, prior service costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the remaining life expectancy of those participants. 2 Curtailments, settlements and special termination benefits were recognized in Other operating (income) expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Results of Operations.

We made $104 million and $235 million of contributions to our U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively. We currently anticipate full-year 2011 contributions of approximately $1 billion, most of which are voluntary contributions. We made $300 million and $548 million of contributions to our U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively.

B.  Defined contribution benefit costs

From June 2009 to October 2010, we funded our employer matching contribution for certain U.S. defined contribution plans in Caterpillar stock, held as treasury stock.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, we made $33 million (0.5 million shares) and $62 million (1 million shares) of matching contributions in Caterpillar stock, respectively.

On January 1, 2011, matching contributions to our U.S. 401(k) plan changed for certain employees that are still accruing benefits under a defined benefit pension plan.  Matching contributions changed from 100% of employee contributions to the plan up to six percent of their compensation to 50% of employee contributions up to six percent of compensation.  For employees whose defined benefit pension accruals were frozen as of December 31, 2010, we began providing a new annual employer contribution in 2011, which ranges from three to five percent of compensation, depending on years of service and age.

Total company costs related to U.S. and non-U.S. defined contribution plans were as follows:

B.  Goodwill

We test goodwill for impairment annually and whenever events or circumstances make it more likely than not that an impairment may have occurred.  We perform our annual goodwill impairment test as of October 1 and monitor for interim triggering events on an ongoing basis.  Goodwill is reviewed for impairment utilizing a two-step process.  The first step requires us to compare the fair value of each reporting unit, which we primarily determine using an income approach based on the present value of discounted cash flows, to the respective carrying value, which includes goodwill.  If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, the goodwill is not considered impaired.  If the carrying value is greater than the fair value, there is an indication that an impairment may exist and the second step is required.  Additionally, if the carrying amount of a reporting unit is zero or negative, the second step of the goodwill impairment test is also required if an analysis of qualitative factors indicates it more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists.  In step two, the implied fair value of goodwill is calculated as the excess of the fair value of a reporting unit over the fair values assigned to its assets and liabilities.  If the implied fair value of goodwill is less than the carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill, the difference is recognized as an impairment loss.  No goodwill was impaired during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 or 2010.

As discussed in Note 14 – Segment Information, during the first quarter of 2011, we revised our reportable segments in line with the changes to our organizational structure that were announced during 2010.  Our reporting units did not change as a result of the changes to our reportable segments.

The changes in the carrying amount of the goodwill by reportable segment for the six months ended June 30, 2011 were as follows:

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation

3. Stock-Based Compensation

Accounting for stock-based compensation requires that the cost resulting from all stock-based payments be recognized in the financial statements based on the grant date fair value of the award.  Stock-based compensation primarily consists of stock-settled stock appreciation rights (SARs), restricted stock units (RSUs) and stock options.  We recognized pretax stock-based compensation cost in the amount of $67 million and $111 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively; and $97 million and $138 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively.

The following table illustrates the type and fair value of the stock-based compensation awards granted during the six month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively:

	2011		2010
	# Granted	Fair Value Per Award	# Granted	Fair Value Per Award
SARs	2,722,689	$36.73	7,125,210	$22.31
RSUs	1,082,032	97.51	1,711,771	53.35
Stock options	237,906	36.73	431,271	22.31

The stock price on the date of grant was $102.13 and $57.85 for 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The following table provides the assumptions used in determining the fair value of the stock-based awards for the six month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively:

	Grant Year
	2011	2010
Weighted-average dividend yield	2.22%	2.32%
Weighted-average volatility	32.7%	36.4%
Range of volatilities	20.9-45.4%	35.2-51.8%
Range of risk-free interest rates	0.25-3.51%	0.32-3.61%
Weighted-average expected lives	8 years	7 years

As of June 30, 2011, the total remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested stock-based compensation awards was $239 million, which will be amortized over the weighted-average remaining requisite service periods of approximately 2.2 years.

Derivative Financial Instruments and Risk Management

Derivative Financial Instruments and Risk Management

Derivative Financial Instruments and Risk Management

4. Derivative Financial Instruments and Risk Management

Our earnings and cash flow are subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices.  In addition, the amount of Caterpillar stock that can be repurchased under our stock repurchase program is impacted by movements in the price of the stock.  Our Risk Management Policy (policy) allows for the use of derivative financial instruments to prudently manage foreign currency exchange rate, interest rate, commodity price and Caterpillar stock price exposures.  Our policy specifies that derivatives are not to be used for speculative purposes.  Derivatives that we use are primarily foreign currency forward and option contracts, interest rate swaps, commodity forward and option contracts, and stock repurchase contracts.  Our derivative activities are subject to the management, direction and control of our senior financial officers.  Risk management practices, including the use of financial derivative instruments, are presented to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors at least annually.

All derivatives are recognized on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position at their fair value. On the date the derivative contract is entered into, we designate the derivative as (1) a hedge of the fair value of a recognized asset or liability (fair value hedge), (2) a hedge of a forecasted transaction or the variability of cash flow to be paid (cash flow hedge), or (3) an undesignated instrument. Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is qualified, designated and highly effective as a fair value hedge, along with the gain or loss on the hedged recognized asset or liability that is attributable to the hedged risk, are recorded in current earnings. Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is qualified, designated and highly effective as a cash flow hedge are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (AOCI) on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position until they are reclassified to earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings.  Changes in the fair value of undesignated derivative instruments and the ineffective portion of designated derivative instruments are reported in current earnings. Cash flow from designated derivative financial instruments is classified within the same category as the item being hedged on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flow.  Cash flow from undesignated derivative financial instruments is included in the investing category on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flow.

We formally document all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as the risk-management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions.  This process includes linking all derivatives that are designated as fair value hedges to specific assets and liabilities on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and linking cash flow hedges to specific forecasted transactions or variability of cash flow.

We also formally assess, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the designated derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flow of hedged items.  When a derivative is determined not to be highly effective as a hedge or the underlying hedged transaction is no longer probable, we discontinue hedge accounting prospectively, in accordance with the derecognition criteria for hedge accounting.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

Foreign currency exchange rate movements create a degree of risk by affecting the U.S. dollar value of sales made and costs incurred in foreign currencies. Movements in foreign currency rates also affect our competitive position as these changes may affect business practices and/or pricing strategies of non-U.S.-based competitors. Additionally, we have balance sheet positions denominated in foreign currencies, thereby creating exposure to movements in exchange rates.

Our Machinery and Power Systems operations purchase, manufacture and sell products in many locations around the world. As we have a diversified revenue and cost base, we manage our future foreign currency cash flow exposure on a net basis. We use foreign currency forward and option contracts to manage unmatched foreign currency cash inflow and outflow. Our objective is to minimize the risk of exchange rate movements that would reduce the U.S. dollar value of our foreign currency cash flow. Our policy allows for managing anticipated foreign currency cash flow for up to five years.

We generally designate as cash flow hedges at inception of the contract any Australian dollar, Brazilian real, British pound, Canadian dollar, Chinese yuan, euro, Indian rupee, Japanese yen, Mexican peso, Singapore dollar or Swiss franc forward or option contracts that meet the requirements for hedge accounting and the maturity extends beyond the current quarter-end. Designation is performed on a specific exposure basis to support hedge accounting. The remainder of Machinery and Power Systems foreign currency contracts are undesignated, including any hedges designed to protect our competitive exposure.  Periodically we also designate as fair value hedges specific euro forward contracts used to hedge firm commitments.

As of June 30, 2011, $68 million of deferred net gains, net of tax, included in equity (Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position), are expected to be reclassified to current earnings (Other income (expense) in the Consolidated Statement of Results of Operations) over the next twelve months when earnings are affected by the hedged transactions.  The actual amount recorded in Other income (expense) will vary based on exchange rates at the time the hedged transactions impact earnings.

In managing foreign currency risk for our Financial Products operations, our objective is to minimize earnings volatility resulting from conversion and the remeasurement of net foreign currency balance sheet positions. Our policy allows the use of foreign currency forward and option contracts to offset the risk of currency mismatch between our receivables and debt. All such foreign currency forward and option contracts are undesignated.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate movements create a degree of risk by affecting the amount of our interest payments and the value of our fixed-rate debt. Our practice is to use interest rate derivatives to manage our exposure to interest rate changes and, in some cases, lower the cost of borrowed funds.

Our Machinery and Power Systems operations generally use fixed-rate debt as a source of funding.  Our objective is to minimize the cost of borrowed funds.  Our policy allows us to enter into fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps and forward rate agreements to meet that objective with the intent to designate as fair value hedges at inception of the contract all fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps.  Designation as a hedge of the fair value of our fixed-rate debt is performed to support hedge accounting.

Financial Products operations has a match-funding policy that addresses interest rate risk by aligning the interest rate profile (fixed or floating rate) of Cat Financial’s debt portfolio with the interest rate profile of their receivables portfolio within predetermined ranges on an ongoing basis. In connection with that policy, we use interest rate derivative instruments to modify the debt structure to match assets within the receivables portfolio. This matched funding reduces the volatility of margins between interest-bearing assets and interest-bearing liabilities, regardless of which direction interest rates move.

Our policy allows us to use fixed-to-floating, floating-to-fixed, and floating-to-floating interest rate swaps to meet the match-funding objective.  We designate fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps as fair value hedges to protect debt against changes in fair value due to changes in the benchmark interest rate.  We designate most floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges to protect against the variability of cash flows due to changes in the benchmark interest rate.

As of June 30, 2011, $5 million of deferred net losses, net of tax, included in equity (Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position), related to Financial Products floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps, are expected to be reclassified to current earnings (Interest expense of Financial Products in the Consolidated Statement of Results of Operations) over the next twelve months.  The actual amount recorded in Interest expense of Financial Products will vary based on interest rates at the time the hedged transactions impact earnings.

We have, at certain times, liquidated fixed-to-floating and floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps at both Machinery and Power Systems and Financial Products.  The gains or losses associated with these swaps at the time of liquidation are amortized into earnings over the original term of the underlying hedged item.

In anticipation of issuing debt for the planned acquisition of Bucyrus International, Inc., we entered into interest rate swaps to manage our exposure to interest rate changes.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, we recognized a net loss of $124 million and $149 million, respectively, included in Other income (expense) in the Consolidated Statement of Results of Operations.  These contracts were not designated as hedging instruments, and therefore, did not receive hedge accounting treatment.  The contracts were liquidated in conjunction with the debt issuance in May 2011.

Commodity Price Risk

Commodity price movements create a degree of risk by affecting the price we must pay for certain raw material. Our policy is to use commodity forward and option contracts to manage the commodity risk and reduce the cost of purchased materials.

Our Machinery and Power Systems operations purchase base and precious metals embedded in the components we purchase from suppliers.  Our suppliers pass on to us price changes in the commodity portion of the component cost. In addition, we are subject to price changes on energy products such as natural gas and diesel fuel purchased for operational use.

Our objective is to minimize volatility in the price of these commodities. Our policy allows us to enter into commodity forward and option contracts to lock in the purchase price of a portion of these commodities within a five-year horizon. All such commodity forward and option contracts are undesignated.

Stock Repurchase Risk

Payments for stock repurchase derivatives are accounted for as a reduction in stockholders’ equity.  In February 2007, the Board of Directors authorized a $7.5 billion stock repurchase program, expiring on December 31, 2011.  The amount of Caterpillar stock that can be repurchased under the authorization is impacted by movements in the price of the stock.  In August 2007, the Board of Directors authorized the use of derivative contracts to reduce stock repurchase price volatility.  There were no stock repurchase derivatives outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 or 2010.

Environmental and Legal Matters

Environmental and Legal Matters

12. Environmental and Legal Matters

The company is regulated by federal, state and international environmental laws governing our use, transport and disposal of substances and control of emissions. In addition to governing our manufacturing and other operations, these laws often impact the development of our products, including, but not limited to, required compliance with air emissions standards applicable to internal combustion engines. Compliance with these existing laws has not had a material impact on our capital expenditures, earnings or global competitive position.

We are engaged in remedial activities at a number of locations, often with other companies, pursuant to federal and state laws.  When it is probable we will pay remedial costs at a site and those costs can be reasonably estimated, the costs are charged against our earnings.  In formulating that estimate, we do not consider amounts expected to be recovered from insurance companies or others.  The amount recorded for environmental remediation is not material and is included in Accrued expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

We cannot reasonably estimate costs at sites in the very early stages of remediation.  Currently, we have a few sites in the very early stages of remediation, and there is no more than a remote chance that a material amount for remedial activities at any individual site, or at all sites in the aggregate, will be required.

We have disclosed certain individual legal proceedings in this filing.  Additionally, we are involved in other unresolved legal actions that arise in the normal course of business. The most prevalent of these unresolved actions involve disputes related to product design, manufacture and performance liability (including claimed asbestos and welding fumes exposure), contracts, employment issues, environmental matters or intellectual property rights.  The aggregate range of reasonably possible losses in excess of accrued liabilities, if any, associated with these unresolved legal actions is not material.  In some cases, we cannot reasonably estimate a range of loss because there is insufficient information regarding the matter.  However, there is no more than a remote chance that any liability arising from these matters would be material.  Although it is not possible to predict with certainty the outcome of these unresolved legal actions, we believe that these actions will not individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

On May 14, 2007, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a Notice of Violation to Caterpillar Inc., alleging various violations of Clean Air Act Sections 203, 206 and 207. EPA claims that Caterpillar violated such sections by shipping engines and catalytic converter after-treatment devices separately, introducing into commerce a number of uncertified and/or misbuilt engines, and failing to timely report emissions-related defects.  On July 9, 2010, the Department of Justice issued a penalty demand to Caterpillar seeking a civil penalty of $3.2 million and implementation of injunctive relief involving expanded use of certain technologies. On July 28, 2011, EPA and the U.S. Department of Justice filed and lodged a civil complaint and consent decree with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia regarding the matter.   Caterpillar has agreed to the terms of the consent decree, which require payment of a civil penalty of $2.55 million, retirement of a small number of emissions credits and expanded defect-related reporting.  If approved by the U.S. District Court after expiration of the mandatory public comment period, the consent decree will resolve this matter.  Under the terms of the consent decree, and subject to a settlement agreement, $510,000 of the stipulated $2.55 million penalty will be paid to the California Air Resources Board relating to engines covered by the consent decree that were placed into service in California.

On February 8, 2009, an incident at Caterpillar’s Joliet, Illinois facility resulted in the release of approximately 3,000 gallons of wastewater into the Des Plaines River.  In coordination with state and federal authorities, appropriate remediation measures have been taken.  On February 23, 2009, the Illinois Attorney General filed a Complaint in Will County Circuit Court containing seven counts of violations of state environmental laws and regulations.  Caterpillar settled this matter with the State of Illinois in 2010, resolving all allegations in the Complaint.  This settlement does not have a material adverse impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial position, or liquidity. In addition, on March 5, 2009, the EPA served Caterpillar with a Notice of Intent to file a Civil Administrative Action (notice), indicating the EPA’s intent to seek civil penalties for alleged violations of the Clean Water Act and Oil Pollution Act.  On January 25, 2010, the EPA issued a revised notice seeking civil penalties in the amount of $167,800.  Caterpillar settled this matter with the EPA on July 12, 2011, resolving all allegations in the notice.  This settlement does not have a material adverse impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial position, or liquidity.

In May 2010, an incident at Caterpillar’s Gosselies, Belgium facility resulted in the release of wastewater into the Perupont River.  In coordination with local authorities, appropriate remediation measures have been taken.  In January 2011, Caterpillar learned that the public prosecutor for the Belgian administrative district of Charleroi had referred the matter to an examining magistrate of the civil court of Charleroi for further investigation.  Caterpillar is cooperating with the Belgian authorities on this investigation.  At this time, it is unlikely that penalties will be assessed, and any penalties are unlikely to exceed $100,000.  Management does not believe this matter will have a material adverse impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

Cat Financial Financing Activities

15. Cat Financial Financing Activities

A. Credit quality of financing receivables and allowance for credit losses

Cat Financial adopted the accounting guidance on disclosures about the credit quality of financing receivables and the allowance for credit losses as of December 31, 2010.  See Note 2 for additional information.  This guidance requires information to be disclosed at disaggregated levels, defined as portfolio segments and classes.

Cat Financial applies a systematic methodology to determine the allowance for credit losses for finance receivables.  Based upon Cat Financial’s analysis of credit losses and risk factors, portfolio segments are as follows:

· Customer - Finance receivables with the customer.

· Dealer - Finance receivables with Caterpillar dealers.

Cat Financial further evaluates portfolio segments by the class of finance receivables, which is defined as a level of information (below a portfolio segment) in which the finance receivables have the same initial measurement attribute and a similar method for assessing and monitoring credit risk.  Typically, Cat Financial’s finance receivables within a geographic area have similar credit risk profiles and methods for assessing and monitoring credit risk.  Cat Financial’s classes, which align with management reporting, are as follows:

· North America - Finance receivables originated in the United States or Canada.

· Europe - Finance receivables originated in Europe, Africa, Middle East and the Commonwealth of Independent States.

· Asia Pacific - Finance receivables originated in Australia, New Zealand, China, Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia, as well as large mining customers worldwide.

· Latin America - Finance receivables originated in Central and South American countries and Mexico.

· Global Power Finance - Finance receivables related to marine vessels with Caterpillar engines worldwide and Caterpillar electrical power generation, gas compression and co-generation systems and non-Caterpillar equipment that is powered by these systems worldwide.

Impaired loans and finance leases

For all classes, a loan or finance lease is considered impaired, based on current information and events, if it is probable that Cat Financial will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan or finance lease.  Loans and finance leases reviewed for impairment include loans and finance leases that are past due, non-performing or in bankruptcy. Recognition of income is suspended and the loan or finance lease is placed on non-accrual status when management determines that collection of future income is not probable (generally after 120 days past due).  Accrual is resumed, and previously suspended income is recognized, when the loan or finance lease becomes contractually current and/or collection doubts are removed.  Cash receipts on impaired loans or finance leases are recorded against the receivable and then to any unrecognized income.

There were no impaired loans or finance leases as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, for the Dealer portfolio segment.  The average recorded investment for impaired loans and finance leases for the Dealer portfolio segment was $31 million and $32 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, all of which was in the Europe finance receivable class.

Individually impaired loans and finance leases for customers were as follows:

Non-accrual and past due loans and finance leases

For all classes, Cat Financial considers a loan or finance lease past due if any portion of a contractual payment is due and unpaid for more than 30 days.  Recognition of income is suspended and the loan or finance lease is placed on non-accrual status when management determines that collection of future income is not probable (generally after 120 days past due).  Accrual is resumed, and previously suspended income is recognized, when the loan or finance lease becomes contractually current and/or collection doubts are removed.

As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, there were no loans or finance leases on non-accrual status for the Dealer portfolio segment.

Credit quality of finance receivables

The credit quality of finance receivables is reviewed on a monthly basis.  Credit quality indicators include performing and non-performing.  Non-performing is defined as finance receivables currently over 120 days past due and/or on non-accrual status or in bankruptcy.  Finance receivables not meeting the criteria listed above are considered performing.  Non-performing receivables have the highest probability for credit loss.  The allowance for credit losses attributable to non-performing receivables is based on the most probable source of repayment, which is normally the liquidation of collateral.  In determining collateral value, Cat Financial estimates the current fair market value of the collateral and considers credit enhancements such as additional collateral and third-party guarantees.

The recorded investment of performing and non-performing finance receivables were as follows:

B.           Securitized Retail Installment Sale Contracts and Finance Leases

Cat Financial periodically transfers certain finance receivables relating to retail installment sale contracts and finance leases to SPEs as part of their asset-backed securitization program.  The SPEs have limited purposes and generally are only permitted to purchase the finance receivables, issue asset-backed securities and make payments on the securities.  The SPEs only issue a single series of securities and generally are dissolved when those securities have been paid in full.  The SPEs issue debt to pay for the finance receivables they acquire from Cat Financial.  The primary source for repayment of the debt is the cash flows generated from the finance receivables owned by the SPEs.  The assets of the SPEs are legally isolated and are not available to pay the creditors of Cat Financial.  Cat Financial retains interests in the securitization transactions, including subordinated certificates issued by the SPEs, rights to cash reserves and residual interests.  For bankruptcy analysis purposes, Cat Financial has sold the finance receivables to the SPEs in a true sale and the SPEs are separate legal entities.  The investors and the SPEs have no recourse to any of Cat Financial’s other assets for failure of debtors to pay when due.

In accordance with the new consolidation accounting guidance adopted January 1, 2010, these SPEs were concluded to be VIEs.  Cat Financial determined that it was the primary beneficiary based on its power to direct activities through its role as servicer and its obligation to absorb losses and right to receive benefits and therefore consolidated the entities using the carrying amounts of the SPEs’ assets and liabilities.

On April 25, 2011, Cat Financial exercised a clean-up call on their only outstanding asset-backed securitization transaction.  As a result, Cat Financial had no assets or liabilities related to a consolidated SPE as of June 30, 2011.  The restricted assets (Receivables-finance, Long-term receivables-finance, Prepaid expenses and other current assets, and Other assets) of the consolidated SPEs totaled $136 million at December 31, 2010.  The liabilities (Accrued expenses and Long-term debt due within one year-Financial Products) of the consolidated SPEs totaled $73 million at December 31, 2010.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest - Caterpillar Japan Ltd.

6 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2011

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest - Caterpillar Japan Ltd.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest - Caterpillar Japan Ltd.

16.         Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest — Caterpillar Japan Ltd.

On August 1, 2008, Shin Caterpillar Mitsubishi Ltd. (SCM) completed the first phase of a share redemption plan whereby SCM redeemed half of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI’s) shares in SCM.  This resulted in Caterpillar owning 67 percent of the outstanding shares of SCM and MHI owning the remaining 33 percent.  As part of the share redemption, SCM was renamed Caterpillar Japan Ltd. (Cat Japan) and we consolidated its financial statements.  Both Cat Japan and MHI have options, exercisable beginning August 1, 2013, to require the redemption of the remaining shares owned by MHI, which if exercised, would make Caterpillar the sole owner of Cat Japan.

The remaining 33 percent of Cat Japan owned by MHI has been reported as redeemable noncontrolling interest and classified as mezzanine equity (temporary equity) in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. The redeemable noncontrolling interest is reported at its estimated redemption value.  Any adjustment to the redemption value impacts Profit employed in the

business, but does not impact Profit (loss).  If the fair value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest falls below the redemption value, profit available to common stockholders would be reduced by the difference between the redemption value and the fair value.  This would result in lower profit in the profit per common share computation in that period.  Reductions impacting the profit per common share computation may be partially or fully reversed in subsequent periods if the fair value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest increases relative to the redemption value.  Such increases in profit per common share would be limited to cumulative prior reductions.  During 2011, the estimated redemption value decreased, resulting in adjustments to the carrying value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest. Profit employed in the business increased by $8 million due to this adjustment. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the estimated redemption value decreased, resulting in an adjustment to the carrying value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest. Profit employed in the business increased by $18 million due to this adjustment. As of June 30, 2011, the fair value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest remained greater than the estimated redemption value.

We estimate the fair value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest using a discounted five year forecasted cash flow with a year-five residual value.  Based on our current expectations for Cat Japan, we expect the fair value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest to remain greater than the redemption value. However, if economic conditions deteriorate and Cat Japan’s business forecast is negatively impacted, it is possible that the fair value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest may fall below the estimated redemption value. Should this occur, profit would be reduced in the profit per common share computation by the difference between the redemption value and the fair value.  Lower long-term growth rates, reduced long-term profitability as well as changes in interest rates, costs, pricing, capital expenditures and general market conditions may reduce the fair value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest.

With the consolidation of Cat Japan’s results of operations, 33 percent of Cat Japan’s comprehensive income or loss is attributed to the redeemable noncontrolling interest, impacting its carrying value.  Because the redeemable noncontrolling interest must be reported at its estimated future redemption value, the impact from attributing the comprehensive income or loss is offset by adjusting the carrying value to the redemption value.  This adjustment impacts Profit employed in the business, but not Profit (loss).  For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the carrying value had increased by $30 million due to Cat Japan’s comprehensive income.  This resulted in an offsetting adjustment of $30 million to decrease the carrying value to the redemption value and a corresponding increase to Profit employed in the business. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the carrying value had increased by $12 million due to Cat Japan’s comprehensive income. This resulted in an offsetting adjustment of $12 million to decrease the carrying value to the redemption value and a corresponding increase to Profit employed in the business. As Cat Japan’s functional currency is the Japanese yen, changes in exchange rates affect the reported amount of the redeemable noncontrolling interest.  At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 the redeemable noncontrolling interest was $460 million and $461 million, respectively.

Business Combinations and Divestitures

18.         Business Combinations and Divestitures

Balfour Beatty’s Trackwork Business

In May 2011, we acquired 100 percent of the assets and certain liabilities of the United Kingdom trackwork business from Balfour Beatty Rail Limited for approximately $60 million.  The trackwork division specializes in the design and manufacture of special trackwork and associated products for the United Kingdom and international rail markets.  The acquisition supports our strategic initiative to expand the scope and product range of our rail business.

The transaction was financed with available cash.  Tangible assets acquired of $82 million, recorded at their fair values, included receivables of $18 million, inventory of $12 million, and property, plant and equipment of $52 million.  Liabilities assumed of $22 million, recorded at their fair values, primarily were accounts payable of $10 million and accrued expenses of $10 million.  The results of the acquired business for the period from the acquisition date are included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and are reported in the “Power Systems” segment in Note 14.  Assuming this transaction had been made at the beginning of any period presented, the consolidated pro forma results would not be materially different from reported results.

Carter Machinery

In March 2011, we sold 100 percent of the equity in Carter Machinery Company Inc. for $358 million.  Carter Machinery is a Caterpillar dealership headquartered in Salem, Virginia, and has operations and stores covering Virginia and nine counties in southeast West Virginia.  The current senior management of Carter Machinery, which led the buy-out of Carter Machinery from Caterpillar, remained in place.  A retired Caterpillar Vice President is CEO of Carter Machinery and the principal owner going forward.  Caterpillar had owned Carter Machinery since 1988.  Carter Machinery was the only dealership in the United States that was not independently owned.   Continued Caterpillar ownership does not align with our comprehensive business strategy.

As part of the divestiture, Cat Financial provided $348 million of financing to the buyer.  The loan is included in Receivables – finance and Long-term receivables – finance in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.  We recorded a pre-tax gain of $18 million included in Other operating (income) expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Results of Operations.  The sale does not qualify as discontinued operations because Caterpillar expects significant continuing direct cash flows with Carter Machinery after the divestiture.  The sale of Carter will not have a material impact on our results of operation, financial position or cash flow.

Basis of Presentation, Nature of Operations and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Basis of Presentation, Nature of Operations and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

1. A.  Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of (a) the consolidated results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, (b) the consolidated financial position at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, (c) the consolidated changes in stockholders’ equity for the six month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, and (d) the consolidated statement of cash flow for the six month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.  The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).  Certain amounts for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period financial statement presentation.

Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in our Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, as supplemented by the Company’s current report on Form 8-K filed on May 23, 2011 (2010 Form 10-K) to reflect the change in our reportable segments as discussed in Note 14.

The Company revised previously reported cash flows from operating and investing activities for the six month period ended June 30, 2010 to adjust for the impact of accrued but unpaid capital expenditures.  Cash provided by operating activities increased from the amount previously reported by $168 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2010, and cash flow from investing activities decreased by the same amount.  Management has concluded that the impact was not material to the six month period.

The December 31, 2010 financial position data included herein is derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the 2010 Form 10-K but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.

B.  Nature of Operations

Information in our financial statements and related commentary are presented in the following categories:

Machinery and Power Systems – Represents the aggregate total of Construction Industries, Resource Industries, Power Systems, and All Other segments and related corporate items and eliminations.

Financial Products – Primarily includes the company’s Financial Products Segment.  This category includes Caterpillar Financial Services Corporation (Cat Financial), Caterpillar Insurance Holdings Inc. (Cat Insurance) and their respective subsidiaries.

As discussed in Note 14 – Segment Information, during the first quarter of 2011, we revised our reportable segments in line with the changes to our organizational structure that were announced during 2010.  The 2010 financial information has been retrospectively adjusted to conform to the 2011 presentation.

C.  Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) and its components are presented in Consolidated Statement of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity.   Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, consisted of the following:

(Millions of dollars)	June 30, 2011	June 30, 2010

10. Guarantees and Product Warranty

We have provided an indemnity to a third-party insurance company for potential losses related to performance bonds issued on behalf of Caterpillar dealers.  The bonds are issued to insure governmental agencies against nonperformance by certain dealers.  We also provided guarantees to a third party related to the performance of contractual obligations by certain Caterpillar dealers. The guarantees cover potential financial losses incurred by the third party resulting from the dealers’ nonperformance.

We provide loan guarantees to third-party lenders for financing associated with machinery purchased by customers. These guarantees have varying terms and are secured by the machinery. In addition, Cat Financial participates in standby letters of credit issued to third parties on behalf of their customers. These standby letters of credit have varying terms and beneficiaries and are secured by customer assets.

Cat Financial has provided a limited indemnity to a third-party bank resulting from the assignment of certain leases to that bank.  The indemnity is for the possibility that the insurers of these leases would become insolvent.  The indemnity expires December 15, 2012 and is unsecured.

No loss has been experienced or is anticipated under any of these guarantees.  At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the related liability was $7 million and $10 million, respectively.  The maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted and without reduction for any amounts that may possibly be recovered under recourse or collateralized provisions) we could be required to make under the guarantees are as follows:

(Millions of dollars)	June 30,	December 31,
	2011	2010
Guarantees with Caterpillar dealers	$154	$185
Guarantees with customers	158	170
Limited indemnity	14	17
Guarantees – other	30	48
Total guarantees	$356	$420

Cat Financial provides guarantees to repurchase certain loans of Caterpillar dealers from a special-purpose corporation (SPC) that qualifies as a variable interest entity.  The purpose of the SPC is to provide short-term working capital loans to Caterpillar dealers.  This SPC issues commercial paper and uses the proceeds to fund its loan program.  Cat Financial has a loan purchase agreement with the SPC that obligates Cat Financial to purchase certain loans that are not paid at maturity.  Cat Financial receives a fee for providing this guarantee, which provides a source of liquidity for the SPC.  Cat Financial is the primary beneficiary of the SPC as our guarantees result in Cat Financial having both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the SPC’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses, and therefore Cat Financial has consolidated the financial statements of the SPC.  As of  June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the SPC’s assets of $540 million and $365 million, respectively, are primarily comprised of loans to dealers and the SPC’s liabilities of $540 million and $365 million, respectively are primarily comprised of commercial paper.  No loss has been experienced or is anticipated under this loan purchase agreement.  Cat Financial’s assets are not available to pay creditors of the SPC, except to the extent Cat Financial may be obligated to perform under the guarantee, and assets of the SPC are not available to pay Cat Financial’s creditors.

Our product warranty liability is determined by applying historical claim rate experience to the current field population and dealer inventory.  Generally, historical claim rates are based on actual warranty experience for each product by machine model/engine size.  Specific rates are developed for each product build month and are updated monthly based on actual warranty claim experience.

Segment Information

Segment Information

Segment Information

14. Segment Information

A. Basis for segment information

In the first quarter of 2011, we implemented revised internal financial measurements in line with changes to our organizational structure that were announced during 2010.  Our previous structure used a matrix organization comprised of multiple profit and cost center divisions.  There were twenty-five operating segments, twelve of which were reportable segments.  These segments were led by vice-presidents that were managed by Caterpillar’s Executive Office (comprised of our CEO and Group Presidents), which served as our Chief Operating Decision Maker.  As part of the strategy revision, Group Presidents were given accountability for a related set of end-to-end businesses that they manage, a significant change for the company.  The CEO allocates resources and manages performance at the Group President level.  As such, the CEO now serves as our Chief Operating Decision Maker and operating segments are primarily based on the Group President reporting structure.

Three of our operating segments, Construction Industries, Resource Industries and Power Systems, are led by Group Presidents.  One operating segment, Financial Products, is led by a Group President who has responsibility for Corporate Services.  Corporate Services is a cost center primarily responsible for the performance of certain support functions globally and to provide centralized services; it does not meet the definition of an operating segment.  One Group President leads three smaller operating segments that are included in All Other operating segments.

The segment information for 2010 has been retrospectively adjusted to conform to the 2011 presentation.

B. Description of segments

We have seven operating segments, of which four are reportable segments.  Following is a brief description of our reportable segments and the business activities included in all other operating segments:

Construction Industries:  A segment primarily responsible for supporting customers using machinery in infrastructure and building construction applications.  Responsibilities include business strategy, product design, product management and development, manufacturing, marketing, sales and product support.  The product portfolio includes backhoe loaders, small wheel loaders, small track-type tractors, skid steer loaders, multi-terrain loaders, mini excavators, compact wheel loaders, select work tools, small, medium and large track excavators, wheel excavators, medium wheel loaders, medium track-type tractors, track-type loaders, motor graders, pipelayers and related parts.  In addition, Construction Industries has responsibility for Power Systems and components in Japan and an integrated manufacturing cost center that supports Machinery and Power Systems businesses.  Inter-segment sales are a source of revenue for this segment.

Resource Industries:  A segment primarily responsible for supporting customers using machinery in mining and quarrying applications.  Responsibilities include business strategy, product design, product management and development, manufacturing, marketing, sales and product support.  The product portfolio includes large track-type tractors, large mining trucks, underground mining equipment, tunnel boring equipment, large wheel loaders, quarry and construction trucks, articulated trucks, wheel tractor scrapers, wheel dozers, compactors, select work tools, forestry products, paving products, machinery components, electronics and control systems and related parts.  In addition, Resource Industries manages areas that provide services to other parts of the company, including integrated manufacturing, research and development and coordination of the Caterpillar Production System.  Bucyrus will become part of Resource Industries, and Bucyrus acquisition costs impacting operating profit are included in this segment.  Inter-segment sales are a source of revenue for this segment.

Power Systems:  A segment primarily responsible for supporting customers using reciprocating engines, turbines and related parts across industries serving electric power, industrial, petroleum and marine applications as well as rail-related businesses.  Responsibilities include business strategy, product design, product management and development, manufacturing, marketing, sales and product support of reciprocating engine powered generator sets, integrated systems used in the electric power generation industry, reciprocating engines and integrated systems and solutions for the marine and petroleum industries; reciprocating engines supplied to the industrial industry as well as Caterpillar machinery; the business strategy, product design, product management and development, manufacturing, marketing, sales and product support of turbines and turbine related services; the business strategy, product design, product management and development, manufacturing, remanufacturing, maintenance, marketing, sales, leasing and service of diesel-electric locomotives and components and other rail-related products and services.  Inter-segment sales are a source of revenue for this segment.

Financial Products Segment:  Provides financing to customers and dealers for the purchase and lease of Caterpillar and other equipment, as well as some financing for Caterpillar sales to dealers.  Financing plans include operating and finance leases, installment sale contracts, working capital loans and wholesale financing plans. The division also provides various forms of insurance to customers and dealers to help support the purchase and lease of our equipment.

All Other:  Primarily includes activities such as: the remanufacturing of Cat engines and components and remanufacturing services for other companies as well as the business strategy, product design, product management and development, manufacturing, marketing, sales and product support of undercarriage, specialty products, hardened bar stock components and ground engaging tools primarily for Caterpillar products; logistics services for Caterpillar and other companies; the business strategy, product management, product development, marketing, sales and product support of on-highway vocational trucks for North America (U.S. & Canada only); the 50/50 joint venture with Navistar (NC2) which develops, manufactures and distributes on-highway trucks outside North America and India; and distribution services responsible for dealer development and administration, dealer portfolio management and ensuring the most efficient and effective distribution of machines, engines and parts.  Inter-segment sales are a source of revenue for this segment.  Results for All Other operating segments are included as reconciling items between reportable segments and consolidated external reporting.

C. Segment measurement and reconciliations

There are several methodology differences between our segment reporting and our external reporting.  The following is a list of the more significant methodology differences:

· Machinery and Power Systems segment net assets generally include inventories, receivables, property, plant and equipment, goodwill, intangibles and accounts payable.  Liabilities other than accounts payable are generally managed at the corporate level and are not included in segment operations.  Financial Products Segment assets generally include all categories of assets.

· Segment inventories and cost of sales are valued using a current cost methodology.

· Goodwill is amortized using a fixed amount based on a twenty year useful life.  This methodology difference only impacts segment assets; no goodwill amortization expense is included in segment profit.

· The present value of future lease payments for certain Machinery and Power Systems operating leases is included in segment assets.  The estimated financing component of the lease payments is excluded.

· Currency exposures for Machinery and Power Systems are generally managed at the corporate level and the effects of changes in exchange rates on results of operations within the year are not included in segment results.  The net difference created in the translation of revenues and costs between exchange rates used for U.S. GAAP reporting and exchange rates used for segment reporting are recorded as a methodology difference.

· Postretirement benefit expenses are split; segments are generally responsible for service and prior service costs, with the remaining elements of net periodic benefit cost included as a methodology difference.

· Machinery and Power Systems segment profit is determined on a pretax basis and excludes interest expense, gains and losses on interest rate swaps and other income/expense items.  Financial Products Segment profit is determined on a pretax basis and includes other income/expense items.

Reconciling items are created based on accounting differences between segment reporting and our consolidated external reporting. Please refer to pages 28 to 33 for financial information regarding significant reconciling items.  Most of our reconciling items are self-explanatory given the above explanations.  For the reconciliation of profit (loss), we have grouped the reconciling items as follows:

· Corporate costs:  These costs are related to corporate requirements and strategies that are considered to be for the benefit of the entire organization.

· Methodology differences:  See previous discussion of significant accounting differences between segment reporting and consolidated external reporting.

· Timing:   Timing differences in the recognition of costs between segment reporting and consolidated external reporting.
