DONGFENG CUMMINS ENGINE COMPANY LIMITED
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.     Organization and principal activities

        Dongfeng Cummins Engine Company Limited (the "Company") is a sino-foreign equity joint venture amongst Cummins Engine Company, Inc. ("Cummins USA"), Cummins (China) Investment Co., Ltd. ("CCI") and Dongfeng Automobile Co., Ltd. ("Dongfeng Auto") established under the relevant laws and regulations of the People's Republic of China ("PRC").

        The Company, which was established on May 14, 1996, is engaged in the manufacture and sale of diesel engines, related parts and the provision of after-sale services.

        The joint venture has a term of 35 years from the date of establishment and may be extended subject to the unanimous approval of the Board of Directors and the approval of the relevant authorities.

2.     Summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of presentation

        The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Use of estimates

        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Comparative figures

        The financial statements as of December 31, 2002 and for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 are unaudited. Those unaudited Financial Statements include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary to present fairly our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the years presented.

Revenue recognition

        The Company recognizes revenues on the sale of products, net of estimated costs of returns, allowances and sales incentives, when products are shipped to customers and title and risk of ownership transfers.

Foreign currency translation

        The Company's financial records are maintained in Renminbi ("RMB"), the functional currency. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into Renminbi at the exchange rates prevailing at the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities expressed in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated into Renminbi at the exchange rates at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising in these cases are recorded in the Statement of Operations.

10

---

Income tax accounting

        The Company determines the income tax provision using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax effects of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. The Company also recognizes future tax benefits associated with tax loss and credit carry forwards as deferred tax assets. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent there is uncertainty as to their ultimate realization. The Company measures deferred tax assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the temporary differences are expected to be settled or recovered.

Cash equivalents

        All financial instruments purchased with original maturities of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents.

Inventories

        Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Inventory cost calculated on the weighted average basis comprises materials, direct labor and the manufacturing overhead expenditures.

Property, plant and equipment

        Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Property, plant and equipment are depreciated at rates sufficient to write off their cost over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis, taking into account their residual value which is estimated at 10% of cost. The applicable useful lives of fixed assets are as follows:

        Major additions and betterments are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives and repairs and maintenance expenses are charged to the Statement of Operations in the period incurred.

        Upon retirement or other disposal of fixed assets, the cost and related amount of accumulated depreciation or amortization are eliminated from the asset and accumulated depreciation accounts, respectively. The difference, if any, between the net asset value and the proceeds is adjusted to earnings.

        Construction in progress represents capital assets under construction or being installed and is stated at cost. Cost comprises original cost of plant and equipment, installation, construction and other direct costs which include interest costs on specific borrowings used to finance the capital assets, prior to the date of reaching the expected usable condition. Construction in progress is transferred to the property, plant and equipment account and depreciation commences when the asset has been substantially completed and reaches the expected usable condition.

        No interest cost was capitalized in 2003 (2002 and 2001: nil).

11

---

Impairment of long-lived assets

        The Company evaluates the long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate, in management's judgment, that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. The determination of whether an impairment has occurred is based on management's estimate of undiscounted future cash flows attributable to the assets as compared to the carrying value of the assets. If an impairment has occurred, the amount of the impairment recognized is determined by estimating the fair value for the assets and recording a provision for loss if the carrying value is greater than fair value.

Intangible assets

        Intangible assets with finite useful lives are subject to amortization. Intangible assets are presented at cost net of accumulated amortization.

Software

        The Company capitalizes external software costs and amortizes them generally over 5 years.

Product coverage

        The Company charges the estimated costs of product coverage programs, other than product recalls, to earnings at the time products are shipped to customers. The Company uses historical experience of product coverage programs to estimate the remaining liability for various product coverage programs. As a result of the uncertainty surrounding the nature of product recall programs, the liability for such programs is recorded when the recall action is announced.

        Below is the summary of the activity in the product coverage liability account for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001:

Allowance for doubtful accounts

        The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts based on collection experience and an analysis of accounts receivable in light of the current economic environment. In addition, when necessary, the Company provides for the full amount of specific accounts deemed to be uncollectable. The activity in the allowance for doubtful accounts for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 was as follows:

13.   Fair value of financial instruments

        The Company's financial instruments are comprised of cash, trade receivables and payables, notes receivables and short-term borrowings. Due to the short-term nature of these instruments and the related interest rates, the carrying amounts approximate fair values.

14.   Paid in capital

The percentages to be appropriated to the Reserve Fund, the Staff and Workers' Bonus and Welfare Fund and the Enterprise Expansion Fund are determined by the Board of Directors of the Company.

        The Staff and Workers' Bonus and Welfare Fund is available to fund payments of special bonuses to staff and for collective welfare benefits. Upon approval from the Board of Directors, the Reserve Fund can be used to offset accumulated losses or to increase capital; the Enterprise Expansion Fund can be used to expand production or to increase capital.

        According to a resolution at the Board of Director's meeting dated November 17, 2002, the Company appropriated 12% of net income (after offsetting accumulated losses of previous years) of RMB58,375,429 for the year ended December 31, 2002 to the Reserve Fund; 2% to the Staff and Workers' Bonus and Welfare Fund, and 3% to the Enterprise Expansion Fund.

16.   Segment information

        The Company engages in the sales of engine product and only has one reportable segment. All products are sold within the PRC with no particular geographic focus.

        The Company's largest customer is Dongfeng Motor and its subsidiaries.

No other customer accounted for more than 10% of net sales.

17.   Retirement benefit arrangements

        In accordance with statutory regulations in the PRC, the Company participates in a government sponsored multi-employer pension plan which provides retirement benefits to the Company's employees through a defined contribution plan. Regulations issued by the local labor bureau require the Company to pay a monthly premium to the local labor bureau based on 69% (2002: 64%; 2001: 63%) of its current employees' total salaries, of which 52% (2002: 47%; 2001: 46%) are borne by the Company and the remaining 17% (2002 and 2001: 17%) are borne by the individual. The local labor bureau is responsible for meeting all retirement benefit obligations and the Company has no further commitments beyond the monthly premium.

        For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company incurred retirement expenses amounting to RMB32,007,936 (2002: RMB2,890,506; 2001: RMB 2,705,512).

18.   Leases

        The Company leases land, office equipment and automobile for varying periods under lease agreements.

19.   Capital Commitment

        As of December 31, 2003, the Company has various equipment renovation projects in progress. Committed capital expenditure in connection with these projects approximates RMB26,550,000.

20.   Concentration of credit risk

        Sales to the Company's largest customer, Dongfeng Motor and its subsidiaries, represented 89%, 54% and 47% of total revenue for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Amounts due from Dongfeng Motor and its subsidiaries represented 87% and 68% of the total trade receivable balance (including third party receivable and amounts due from related parties) as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

21.   Risk and uncertainties

        The Chinese market in which the Company operates poses certain macro-economic and regulatory risks and uncertainties. Though the PRC has implemented a wide range of market-oriented economic reforms since 1978, continued reforms and progress towards a full market-oriented economy are uncertain and are likely to be readjusted and refined on an ongoing basis. This refinement and readjustment process, along with changes in government policies and regulations, may not always have a positive effect on the operations of the Company. In addition, the automotive industry has been designated as a pillar industry by the PRC government and as a result remains highly regulated. With China's accession to the World Trade Organization, the industry will eventually be more accessible to foreign invested enterprises. The PRC legal system has also seen marked changes since 1978; however, current enforcement of existing laws may be uncertain and sporadic, and implementation and interpretation there of may be inconsistent, resulting in a higher than usual degree of uncertainty as to the outcome of any litigation or legal process.

        Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, and accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2003, substantially all of the Company's cash and cash equivalents were held in financial institutions located in the PRC. Accounts receivable are typically unsecured, denominated in Renminbi, and are derived from revenues earned from customers primarily located in the PRC. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and, if necessary, maintains reserves for potential credit losses. Historically, such losses have been within management's expectations.
