To the Participants, Plan Administrator
and Benefit Funds Committee of the
Caterpillar Global Mining Legacy Savings Plan
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of net assets available for benefits and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Caterpillar Global Mining Legacy Savings Plan (the “Plan”) at December 31, 2013, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2013 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The Supplemental Schedule H, Line 4i - Schedule of Assets (Held at End of Year) as of December 31, 2013 and the Schedule G, Part III - Nonexempt Transactions for the year ended December 31, 2013 are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. These supplemental schedules are the responsibility of the Plan's management. The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

To the Plan Sponsor and Participants
Caterpillar Global Mining Legacy Savings Plan
We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for benefits of Caterpillar Global Mining Legacy Savings Plan (the “Plan”) as of December 31, 2012. This financial statement is the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on this financial statement based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statement is free of material misstatement. The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statement, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statement referred to above presents fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of Caterpillar Global Mining Legacy Savings Plan as of December 31, 2012, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Caterpillar Global Mining Legacy Savings Plan |
Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2013 and 2012 |
The following description of the Caterpillar Global Mining Legacy Savings Plan (the “Plan”) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan documents for more complete information regarding the Plan.
Effective January 1, 2013, the Plan became a participating plan in the Caterpillar Investment Trust, and as a result, Caterpillar Inc. (the "Company") appointed The Northern Trust Company (the "Trustee") to serve as trustee of the Plan. On January 2, 2013, $37.7 million of net assets of the Plan were transferred from the Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company (the former trustee) to the Trustee.
In addition, effective January 1, 2013, Plan participants who were not part of a collective bargaining unit on December 31, 2012 became ineligible for participation in the Plan and eligible to participate in the Caterpillar 401(k) Retirement Plan. In connection with this change, $32.8 million of participant balances and participant notes receivable were transferred from the Plan to the Caterpillar Inc. 401(k) Retirement Plan.
General
The Plan is a profit sharing plan that includes a cash or deferred arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") and an "employee stock ownership plan" maintained by the Company for employees of Caterpillar Global Mining LLC, a 100 percent-owned subsidiary of the Company, and enables eligible employees to accumulate funds for retirement. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, as amended ("ERISA").
Participation
Employees whose employment is governed by the collective bargaining agreement with the United Steelworkers of America - Local No. 8-00002-02 ("Pulaski Union") and those whose employment is governed by the collective bargaining agreement certified by the National Labor Relations Board in Case No. 16-RC-7210 ("Denison Union") are generally eligible to participate in the Plan on the first day of employment. Plan participation is voluntary and participating eligible employees (the "participants") elect to defer a portion of their compensation through pre-tax and after-tax contributions.
Contributions
Plan participants are eligible to make participant contributions up to 50 percent of their pay through a pre-tax deferral arrangement and an after-tax Roth 401(k) arrangement as elected by the participants. Participants who are at least 50 years old by the end of the calendar year are allowed to make a catch-up contribution for that year. Contributions are subject to certain limitations set by the IRC.
Employer matching contributions are equal to 100 percent of participant contributions up to a maximum of 6 percent of earnings for employees represented by the Pulaski Union and 50 percent of participant contributions up to a maximum of 6 percent of earnings for those employees represented by the Denison Union. The Plan also allows rollovers from other qualified plans.
Participants direct the investment of their contributions and employer matching contributions into various investment options offered by the Plan as discussed in Note 3. Participants generally may change their contribution elections and prospective investment elections on a daily basis and reallocate the investment of their existing account balance either daily or every seven business days (if subject to applicable trading restrictions) depending on the investment.
Newly eligible employees are subject to an automatic enrollment process. Unless electing otherwise, employees who become newly eligible will be enrolled with a default 2 percent deferral of their eligible compensation for each pay period and their default investment election is to the Model Portfolio - Moderately Aggressive Fund. The salary deferral will increase by an additional 1 percent each subsequent year up to a maximum 6 percent, unless otherwise instructed by the participant.
Participant Accounts
Accounts are separately maintained for each participant. The participant's account is credited with the participant's contributions, employer matching contributions and an allocation of Plan earnings/losses and charged with an allocation of administrative expenses. Allocations are based on participant account balances. Participants are entitled to the benefit that can be provided from the participant's vested account.
Vesting and Distribution Provisions
Participants are fully vested in all participant contributions and the earnings thereon. Participants fully vest in the employer matching contributions, the Company's discretionary profit sharing contributions (prior to 2013 the Plan had an option of making a discretionary profit sharing contribution) and the earnings thereon as follows:
|
| |
Years of Service | Percentage Vested |
Less than one | 0% |
1 | 20% |
2 | 40% |
3 | 60% |
4 | 80% |
5 and more | 100% |
The Plan provides for 100 percent vesting of all contributions and the earnings thereon upon a participant's death while actively employed or disabled. Upon termination of employment for any reason, including death or retirement, the balance in participants' accounts is distributable in a single lump sum cash payment unless the participant (or beneficiary) elects to receive periodic withdrawals. Participants also have the option to leave their vested account balance in the Plan, subject to certain limitations. A participant also may elect to receive a distribution of Company shares up to the amount of the participant's balance in the Caterpillar Stock Fund. The value of any full or fractional shares paid in cash will be based upon the average price per share the Trustee receives from sales of Company shares for the purpose of making the distribution.
Company contributions forfeited by terminated participants are used to reduce future Company contributions to the Plan. For the year ended December 31, 2013 forfeited account balances of $35 thousand were used to reduce Company contributions. As of December 31, 2013 there were $125 thousand of forfeited account balances available to reduce future Company contributions. There were no forfeited account balances available to reduce Company contributions as of December 31, 2012.
Participant Notes Receivable
The Plan provides for participant loans against eligible participant account balances. Eligible participants obtain loans by filing a loan application with the Plan's recordkeeper and receiving all requisite approvals. Loan amounts are generally limited to the lesser of $50,000 or 50 percent of the individual participant's vested account balance, with certain regulatory restrictions. Each loan specifies a repayment period that cannot extend beyond five years. Loans bear interest at the prime interest rate plus 1 percent, as determined at the time of loan origination. Loans that transferred to the Plan due to acquisitions are based upon the terms of the plan agreement in effect at the time of loan origination. Repayments, including interest, are made through payroll deductions and are credited to the individual participant's account balance. Participant loans are measured at their unpaid principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest.
Administration
The Plan is administered by the Company. Pursuant to procedures adopted by the Company, responsibility for the Plan's non-financial matters has been assigned to the U.S. Benefits Manager and responsibility for the Plan's financial matters has been assigned to the Caterpillar Inc. Benefit Funds Committee. The Company and the Benefit Funds Committee have entered into a trust agreement with the Trustee to receive contributions, administer the assets of the Plan and distribute withdrawals pursuant to the Plan.
Plan Termination
The Company has the right under the Plan at any time to terminate the Plan subject to provisions of ERISA and subject to the terms of any applicable collective bargaining agreement. In the event of Plan termination, Plan assets will be distributed in accordance with the provisions of the Plan.
Plan Qualification
The Plan has not yet obtained an individual determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"), as the Plan was documented using a pre-approved plan document prior to 2013, and the Company is a "Cycle D" filer. The Plan Administrator and the Plan's counsel believe that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC and therefore believe that the Plan is qualified and the related trust is tax-exempt.
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan and recognize a tax liability if the Plan has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the IRS. The Company has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Plan and has concluded that as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability or disclosure in the financial statements. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. The Company believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2009.

2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
New Accounting Guidance
Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities - In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued accounting guidance on disclosures about offsetting assets and liabilities. The guidance required entities to disclose both gross and net information about instruments and transactions that are offset in the Plan's financial statements, as well as instruments and transactions that are subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. In January 2013, the FASB issued guidance clarifying the scope of the disclosures to apply only to derivatives, including bifurcated embedded derivatives, repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities lending and securities borrowing transactions. This guidance was effective for the Plan year ending December 31, 2013, with retrospective application required. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Plan's financial statements.
Basis of Accounting
The financial statements of the Plan are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Investments
The Plan's interest in the Master Trust is valued as described in Note 4. Interest on investments is recorded as earned. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. As discussed in Note 1, the Plan became a participating plan in the Caterpillar Investment Trust in 2013. The investment options available to participants prior to 2013 were various mutual funds, a money market fund and a common collective trust fund. Prior to the end of the 2012 Plan year end, these assets were liquidated into cash in order to facilitate the transfer of assets into the Caterpillar Investment Trust.
Administrative Expenses
In 2013, the Plan charged an annualized 2.3 basis points of the fair value of the assets of each investment fund and a $3 per month per-participant fee, which are transferred monthly from the Caterpillar Investment Trust into a holding account to pay expenses as they come due. The amount accumulated in the holding account is used to pay certain administrative expenses that have been approved by the Benefit Funds Committee including recordkeeping fees, trustee fees, plan education and audit fees. The Company pays any administrative expenses, excluding applicable expenses paid directly from participant accounts described below, which exceed amounts collected from participants annually by the Plan. If amounts collected from participants exceed certain administrative expenses, the Company determines whether a corrective action is appropriate which could include a reallocation of funds back to participant accounts or a structural change to the participant fees. Effective January 1, 2014, the asset-based fee was eliminated and the per-participant fee was increased to $5 per month.
In addition, certain administrative expenses are paid directly from participant accounts. These administrative expenses include quarterly fees for participants that utilize managed account services and processing fees for qualified domestic relations orders.
Participant Withdrawals
Participant withdrawals are recorded when paid.
Transfers
As discussed in Note 1, in January 2013, $32.8 million of participant balances and Participant notes receivable of participants not part of a collective bargaining unit on December 31, 2012 were transferred from the Plan to the Caterpillar Inc. 401(k) Retirement Plan.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and changes therein, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company believes the techniques and assumptions used in establishing these amounts are appropriate.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Plan invests in a combination of stocks, bonds, fixed income securities, mutual funds and other investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities could occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participant account balances and the amounts reported in the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits. At December 31, 2013, less than 1 percent of the Plan's investments were invested in Caterpillar Inc. common stock. In 2012, Caterpillar Inc. common stock was not an investment option.
The investment options available to participants consist of three main categories: core investments (including the Caterpillar Stock Fund), model portfolios, and a participant directed brokerage option.
The core investments consist of twelve investment options, each representing a different asset class but collectively offering a broad range of investment alternatives with varying levels of risk and potential returns.
The Caterpillar Stock Fund consists of Caterpillar Inc. common stock and a small amount of cash and/or cash equivalents.
The model portfolios contain a specific mix of the Plan's core investments. Each portfolio's mix of stocks and bonds is automatically rebalanced on the last business day of each calendar quarter. The targeted percentage of stocks and bonds in each of the model portfolios is as follows:
|
| | | |
* | Conservative | | 20% stocks and 80% bonds |
* | Moderately Conservative | | 40% stocks and 60% bonds |
* | Moderately Aggressive | | 60% stocks and 40% bonds |
* | Aggressive | | 80% stocks and 20% bonds |
The participant directed brokerage option allows participants to invest outside of the standard Plan options. Hewitt Financial Services is the custodian for funds invested through this participant directed brokerage option. The types of investments offered through the participant directed brokerage option are individual company stocks (excluding Caterpillar Inc. common stock), exchange traded funds, fixed income securities such as bonds and registered investment companies. There were no participants using the participant directed brokerage option as of December 31, 2013.
As discussed in Note 1, the Plan became a participating plan within the Caterpillar Investment Trust in January 2013. All of the Plan's investments are held in the Caterpillar Investment Trust, which was established for the investment of the Plan and other Company sponsored retirement plans. The Northern Trust Company is the Trustee of the Caterpillar Investment Trust and the custodian for funds invested through the core investments and model portfolios (the funds invested through the core investments and model portfolios are referred to as the “Master Trust” herein). The Plan and the other Company sponsored retirement plans pool their investments in the Master Trust in exchange for a percentage of participation in the Master Trust.
The percentage of the Plan's participation in the Master Trust was determined based on the December 31, 2013 net asset values for the investment fund options chosen by participants of each plan. At December 31, 2013, the Plan's interest in the net assets of the Master Trust was 0.08 percent.
The following table presents the net assets of the Master Trust as of December 31, 2013. Investments that represent 5
percent or more of the Master Trust's net assets are individually identified.

Investments are stated at fair value and are valued as described below:
| |
• | Common and preferred stocks: Primarily valued at quoted market prices. |
| |
• | Preferred and other corporate bonds and notes: Valued based on matrices or models from reputable pricing vendors and may be determined by factors which include, but are not limited to market quotations, yields, maturities, call features, ratings, institutional size trading in similar groups of securities and developments related to specific securities. |
| |
• | U.S. government securities: Valued based on matrices or models from reputable pricing vendors. |
| |
• | Fully benefit-responsive guaranteed investment contracts: Valued based upon the type of underlying investment: 1) Corporate and government bonds and mortgaged and asset backed securities are valued based on matrices or models from reputable pricing vendors; 2) Common collective trusts are stated at net asset value, which represents the fair value of the underlying investments; and 3) the value of the wrap contacts, if any. |
| |
• | Common collective trusts: Primarily stated at net asset value, which represents the fair value of the underlying investments. |
| |
• | Registered investment companies: Valued at quoted market prices that represent the net asset value of shares held by the Master Trust. |
| |
• | Interest bearing cash: Stated at cost which approximates fair value. |
| |
• | Other investments, net: Primarily valued at quoted market prices, when available, or are valued based on matrices or models from reputable pricing vendors. |
The preceding methods may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, although the Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

The Master Trust holds fixed income fully benefit-responsive investment contracts, referred to as synthetic guaranteed investment contracts (“synthetic GICs”), in which an investment contract is issued by an insurance company or a financial services institution (American General Life Insurance Company, Monumental Life Insurance Company and State Street Bank and Trust Company). The synthetic GICs, designed to help preserve principal and provide a stable crediting rate of interest, are fully benefit-responsive and provide that plan participant initiated withdrawals will be paid at contract value. The synthetic GICs are primarily backed by a portfolio of fixed income investments, which are effectively owned by the Plan. The assets underlying the synthetic GICs are maintained by a third party custodian, separate from the contract issuer's general assets. The underlying investments of the portfolio consisted of corporate and government bonds ($620.0 million), mortgaged and asset backed securities ($309.3 million) and a common collective trust fund ($77.7 million) consisting of short-term investments. The synthetic GICs are obligated to provide an interest rate not less than zero. These contracts provide that realized and unrealized gains and losses of the underlying assets are not reflected immediately in the assets of the fund, but rather are amortized, usually over the duration of the underlying assets, through adjustments to the future interest crediting rate. The future interest crediting rate can be adjusted periodically and is primarily based on the current yield-to-maturity of the covered investment, plus or minus amortization of the difference between the market value and contract value of the covered investment over the duration of the covered investment at the time of computation. The issuers guarantee that all qualified participant withdrawals will occur at contract value. There are no reserves against contract value for credit risks of the contract issuers or otherwise.
Employer initiated events, if material, may affect the underlying economics of the investment contracts. These events include plant closings, layoffs, plan termination, bankruptcy or reorganization, merger, early retirement incentive programs, tax disqualification of a trust or other events. The occurrence of one or more employer initiated events could limit the Plan's ability to transact at contract value with the issuers. Except for the employer initiated events above, the synthetic GICs do not permit the issuers to terminate the agreement prior to the scheduled maturity date at an amount different from contract value. As of December 31, 2013, the Company does not believe that the occurrence of an event that would limit the ability of the Plan to transact at contract value with the issuers is probable.
A summary of the average yields for the synthetic GICs are as follows:
|
| | | | | |
| Average Yields | | | | December 31, 2013 |
| Based on actual income | | | | 1.45% |
| Based on interest rate credited to participants | | | | 1.83% |
The guidance on reporting of fully benefit-responsive investment contracts requires the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits to present the fair value of the synthetic GICs, as well as an adjustment of the fully benefit-responsive synthetic GICs from fair value to contract value.
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, quoted market prices are used to determine fair value and such measurements are classified within Level 1. In some cases where market prices are not available, observable market based inputs are used 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 availability of observable market data is monitored to assess the appropriate classification of financial instruments within the fair value hierarchy. Changes in economic conditions or model-based valuation techniques may require the transfer of financial instruments from one fair value level to another. In such instances, the transfer is reported at the end of the reporting period.
The significance of transfers between levels was evaluated based upon the nature of the financial instrument and size of the transfer relative to total net Master Trust assets. For the year ended December 31, 2013, there were no transfers in or out of Levels 1, 2 or 3.
Master Trust assets that are measured at fair value as of December 31, 2013 are summarized below:

Derivatives
Within the Master Trust, certain investment managers may use derivative financial instruments to meet fund objectives and manage exposure to foreign currency, interest rate and market fluctuations. The following is a description of the types of derivative contracts the Master Trust may use:
| |
• | Credit contracts: Credit default swaps are used to manage exposure to credit risk. A credit default swap is a contract in which, for a fee, a protection seller agrees to pay a protection buyer an amount resulting from a credit event on a reference entity. If there is no credit default event or settlement trigger, as defined by the contract, then the protection seller makes no payment to the protection buyer and receives only the contractually specified fee. However, if a credit event occurs, the protection seller will be required to make a payment to the protection buyer. |
| |
• | Equity contracts: Equity index futures contracts are used by investment managers to invest excess cash into equity benchmarks, such as the S&P 500. These contracts are settled in cash daily. Investment managers may also invest in equity rights and warrants which gives the holder the right to purchase securities from the issuer at a specific price within a certain time frame. |
| |
• | Foreign exchange contracts: Foreign currency exchange rate movements create a degree of risk by affecting the U.S. dollar value of instruments denominated in foreign currencies. Forward contracts are used by investment managers to manage foreign exchange rate risks associated with certain investments. These contracts are presented gross (buy side of the contract as a receivable and sell side of the contract as a payable) in the Net Master Trust assets. |
| |
• | Interest rate contracts: Interest rate movements create a degree of risk by affecting the amount of interest payments and the value of debt instruments. Investment managers use interest rate swaps, total return swaps, futures contracts, options and swaptions to manage interest rate risk. |
The fair value of these derivative contracts are included in Other investments, net, Receivables for securities sold and Payables for securities purchased in the Net Master Trust assets. The related appreciation (depreciation) is included in Other investments, net in the Net investment income (loss) of the Master Trust. As of December 31, 2013, the fair value of these derivative financial instruments was $104 thousand. In 2013, the effect of these derivatives on Net investment income (loss) of the Master Trust was $27 million, which is primarily related to equity contracts.
The Trustee is authorized, under contract provisions and by exemption under 29 CFR 408(b) of ERISA regulations, to invest in securities under its control and in securities of the Company.
The investment options available to the participants as summarized in Note 3 include the Caterpillar Stock Fund. The Master Trust also invests in the U.S. Equity Broad Index Fund, International Broad Index Fund, and Bond Index Fund, which are sponsored and managed by The Northern Trust Company, the Trustee for the Master Trust. The Northern Trust Company also manages the cash equitization portion of each of the investment options for liquidity purposes. These transactions, as well as participant loans, qualify as exempt party-in-interest transactions.
