Summary

This filing is an amendment to Caterpillar Inc.'s (CAT) Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2010. The amendment's sole purpose is to furnish Exhibit 101, which contains interactive data files formatted in eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL). Importantly, this amendment does not update or modify any financial or operational disclosures made in the original 10-Q filing from July 30, 2010. Investors should refer to the original 10-Q for substantive financial information. Consequently, this 10-Q/A filing provides no new financial insights or operational updates. It serves purely a technical purpose related to XBRL reporting requirements. Therefore, any analysis of Caterpillar's performance or financial position for the period ending June 30, 2010, should be based on the disclosures within the original Form 10-Q, not this amendment.
