                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS



To the Administrator of the
 Case Corporation Retirement Savings Plan:
 Profit Sharing Plan


We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan
benefits of THE CASE CORPORATION RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN:  PROFIT SHARING PLAN
as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 and the related statement of changes in net
assets available for plan benefits, with fund information, for the year ended
December 31, 1995.  These financial statements and the supplemental schedule
referred to below are the responsibility of the Plan's management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
supplemental schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  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.  An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of the Plan as
of December 31, 1995 and 1994 and the changes in its net assets available for
plan benefits, with fund information, for the year ended December 31, 1995 in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the Plan's
basic financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedule, as
listed in the accompanying table of contents, is presented for purpose of
additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements
but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor Rules and
Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974.  The fund information in the statements of net assets
available for plan benefits and the statement of changes in net assets available
for plan benefits is presented for purposes of additional analysis rather than
to present the net assets available for plan benefits and changes in net assets
available for plan benefits of each fund.  The supplemental schedule and fund
information have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits
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.

1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN-
   ------------------------

   The following description of the Case Corporation (the "Company") Retirement
   Savings Plan: Profit Sharing Plan (the "Plan") provides only general
   information. Participants should refer to the Plan Agreement for a more
   complete description of the Plan's provisions.

   a.  General
       -------

       The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering all employees of the
       Company who have completed one year of qualified service and are neither
       leased employees nor represented by a collective bargaining unit (unless
       the collective bargaining agreement stipulates participation).  The Plan
       was established on July 1, 1994, and complies with Sections 401(a),
       401(k) and 401(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.  The Plan is subject to
       the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
       (ERISA).

   b.  Contributions
       -------------

       The following is a brief description of the contributions applicable to
       various segments of participants:

</TABLE>
<PAGE>
 
       The Company's matching contribution is made in the form of Case
       Corporation stock. Under the Plan, the Company's discretionary profit
       sharing contribution is allocated to the same investment options as the
       participant directed contributions. For 1995, the Company profit sharing
       contribution was $5,579,364, or 3.5% of participant's base salary. For
       1994, the profit sharing contribution was $3,873,171, or 6% of
       participant's base salary for the six-month period. The benefits
       applicable to UAW participants was added with the merger of the Case
       Corporation Guaranteed Sharing Benefits and Tax Deferred Savings Plan
       during 1995. The applicable cents per hour factor relevant to UAW
       participants was $.36 for the plan year beginning January 1, 1995. Tax
       deferred savings contributions are limited to $9,240 in 1995, subject to
       any adjustment made in accordance with Section 402 of the Internal
       Revenue Code.

   c.  Vesting
       -------

       Participants are immediately vested in their contributions plus actual
       earnings thereon.  Participants employed by the Company as of June 30,
       1994 are 100% vested in the Company's matching and discretionary
       contributions and the related earnings thereon.  Salaried participants
       hired subsequent to that date and Wichita plant participants are fully
       vested in the Company's contributions after five or more years of
       service.  A UAW participant's interest in his account is fully vested and
       non-forfeitable at all times.

   d.  Investment Options
       ------------------

       Participants may direct their tax deferred savings contributions and
       Company discretionary contributions in any one or more of eight
       investment options:

       1. NORTHERN TRUST COLLECTIVE SHORT-TERM INVESTMENT FUND

          This fund invests in a portfolio of high-grade money market
          instruments with short maturities, as well as a guaranteed investment
          contract with an insurance company.


       2. BZW BARCLAYS U.S. DEBT INDEX FUND (FORMERLY WELLS FARGO U.S. DEBT
          INDEX FUND)

          This fund is composed primarily of U.S. government and corporate
          bonds, and also includes asset-backed securities and high quality
          mortgage pass-throughs.


       3. CAPITAL GUARDIAN U.S. BALANCED FUND

          This fund invests in U.S. stocks and bonds.


       4. BZW BARCLAYS EQUITY INDEX FUND (FORMERLY WELLS FARGO EQUITY INDEX
          FUND)

       5. NEUBERGER & BERMAN MANHATTAN TRUST

          This fund is composed primarily of common stocks and securities
          convertible into or exchangeable for common stock.  Preferred stocks
          and debt securities may also be held.
<PAGE>
 
       6. PUTNAM OTC EMERGING GROWTH FUND

          This fund invests in common stocks of small- to medium-sized emerging-
          growth companies traded in the over-the-counter (OTC) market.  The
          fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in international securities.


       7. CAPITAL GUARDIAN U.S. SMALL CAPITALIZATION FUND

          This fund is invested primarily in equity securities of companies with
          capital between $50 and $750 million at time of purchase.


       8. CASE STOCK FUND

          This fund consists almost solely of Case Corporation common stock.
          Effective November 1, 1995, participants were able to elect this fund
          as an investment option.

       All Company matching contributions are invested in the Case Stock Fund.
       Two additional investment funds exist, however, not all participants may
       direct their contributions into these options.  No new contributions may
       be directed to the Tenneco Stock Fund, which consists of Tenneco Inc.
       common stock and short-term investments which were transferred to this
       Plan from a predecessor plan in 1994.  The Metropolitan Life Insurance
       Group Annuity Contracts Fund, which consists of guaranteed investment
       contracts, is available only to employees represented by a collective
       bargaining unit.  Such employees were previously covered by the Case
       Corporation Guaranteed Sharing Benefits and Tax Deferred Savings Plan or
       the Steiger Tractor, Inc. Bargaining Unit Employees' Savings Plan, as
       applicable, prior to asset transfers related to mergers described in Note
       2.

   e.  Loans to Participants
       ---------------------

       Participants may borrow from their accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a
       maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50 percent of their vested
       account balance.  Loan terms range from one to five years, or up to 15
       years for the purchase of a primary residence.  The loans are secured by
       the balance of the participant's account and bear interest at market
       rates as determined by the Plan administrator.

   f.  Payment of Benefits
       -------------------

       On termination of service, a participant may receive the value of the
       vested interest in his or her account under a variety of payment options.
       Participants may elect to have the portion of their accounts invested in
       the Case Stock Fund or the Tenneco Stock Fund distributed in either stock
       or cash.

   g.  Forfeitures
       -----------

       Forfeited nonvested accounts will be used to reduce future Company
       contributions. At December 31, 1995 and 1994, forfeited nonvested
       accounts totaled $0.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES-
   -------------------------------------------

   Financial Statements
   --------------------

   The Plan's financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of
   accounting.

   Accounting Estimates
   --------------------

   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
   accounting principles requires the Plan's administrator to make estimates and
   assumptions that affect the accompanying financial statements.  Actual
   results could differ from these estimates.


4. TRUSTEE-
   --------

   The trustee of the Plan is The Northern Trust Company (the "Trustee"). Hewitt
   Associates maintains records of individual account balances for each
   participant.


5. INVESTMENTS-
   ------------

   Effective January 1, 1995, the Plan became a participant in the Case
   Corporation Retirement Savings Plan Trust (the "Trust").

   Investments are stated at fair market value as determined by the Trustee by
   reference to published market data, except for the guaranteed investment
   contracts which are benefit responsive as defined by SOP 94-4 ("Reporting of
   Investment Contracts Held by Health and Welfare Benefit Plans and Defined
   Contribution Pension Plans") and are stated at contract value as determined
   by the Trustee.  The contract value and fair market value of the benefit
   responsive guaranteed investment contracts in the Master Trust at December
   31, 1995 are $17,330,683 and $17,841,280, respectively.

6. INCOME TAX STATUS-
   ------------------

   The Plan was established in 1994, and has filed for but not received a
   determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service. In the opinion of the
   Company's management, the Plan, as currently written and operated, is in
   compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code. Therefore, the
   Company's management believes that the Plan is tax-exempt as of the financial
   statement date.

7. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS-
   ---------------------------

   Administrative fees are borne by the Plan.

   The Plan periodically invests in common funds managed by the Trustee.

   The above transactions are not considered prohibited transactions by
   statutory exemptions under the ERISA regulations.

8. PLAN TERMINATION-
   -----------------

   Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right
   under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate
   the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan
   termination, participants will become 100% vested in their accounts.
