NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(In thousands, except per share amounts)

1.     CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and therefore do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; however, such information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto together with management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations contained in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.

In addition, some of the company’s statements in this Form 10-Q report may be considered forward-looking and involve risks and uncertainties that could significantly impact expected results. A discussion of these risks and uncertainties is contained in the management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations in this Form 10-Q. The results of operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.

The company has reclassified the presentation of certain prior-year information to conform to the current-year presentation.

2.     STOCK OPTION PLANS

Under the 1991 Equity and Performance Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (1991 Plan), the company has granted stock options which are outstanding as of September 30, 2003. The company applies the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations, in accounting for stock options granted under the 1991 Plan. No stock-based compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted under the 1991 Plan had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the Black Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions for 2003 and 2002, respectively: risk-free interest rate of 2.8 and 4.2 percent; dividend yield of 1.8 and 1.9 percent; volatility of 41 and 42 percent; and average expected lives of six years for options granted to management and four years for options granted to executive management and nonemployee directors.

4.     INVENTORIES

Domestic inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market applied on a first-in, first-out basis, and foreign inventories are valued using the average cost method. As the company launches new products and rationalizes its product offerings, inventory related to discontinued product is written down to salvage value.

Major classes of inventories are summarized as follows:

                 
    September 30, 2003   December 31, 2002
   
 
Finished goods and service parts
  $ 55,299     $ 59,781

6.     NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, which addresses the accounting and financial reporting for legal obligations and costs associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets. The company has adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 143 as of January 1, 2003 and has determined that SFAS No. 143 has no impact on its financial position, operations or cash flows.

In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. The statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring). SFAS No. 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. Under EITF Issue No. 94-3, a liability for an exit cost as defined was recognized at the date of an entity’s commitment to an exit plan. SFAS No. 146 also establishes that fair value is the objective for initial measurement of the liability. The provisions for this statement are effective for exit and disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. The company has adopted this statement effective January 1, 2003.

In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others, which addresses disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about its obligations under certain guarantees that it has issued. It also clarifies that a guarantor is required to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. The initial recognition and initial measurement provisions of this

Interpretation are applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002, irrespective of the guarantor’s fiscal year end. The disclosure requirements are effective for financial statements for periods ending after December 15, 2002. Refer to Note 9 for discussion of the company’s guarantees.

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure, which amended SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. The company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 148 as of December 31, 2002. This statement requires companies electing not to expense stock options to provide the pro forma net income and earnings per share information not only annually, but also on a quarterly basis. Refer to Note 2 for the pro forma disclosures required by SFAS No. 148 relating to the company’s stock-based compensation plans. While continuing to review the matter, the company has no current plans to begin expensing stock options.

In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of ARB No. 51. This Interpretation addresses the consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities as defined in the Interpretation. The Interpretation applies immediately to variable interests in variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003, and to variable interests in variable interest entities obtained after January 31, 2003. For public companies with a variable interest in a variable interest entity created before February 1, 2003, the Interpretation applies to that company no later than the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period beginning after June 15, 2003. The Interpretation requires certain disclosures in financial statements issued after January 31, 2003 if it is reasonably possible that the company will consolidate or disclose information about variable interest entities when the Interpretation becomes effective. The application of this Interpretation does not have an effect on the company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, which amends and clarifies accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities under SFAS No. 133 Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 149 provides guidance relating to decisions made (a) as part of the Derivatives Implementation Group process, (b) in connection with other FASB projects dealing with financial instruments and (c) regarding implementation issues raised in the application of the definition of a derivative and the characteristics of a derivative that contains financing components. SFAS No. 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. The application of this Statement does not have an impact on the company’s consolidated financial statements.

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments and Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity which requires freestanding financial instruments such as mandatorily redeemable shares, forward purchase contracts, written put options to be reported as liabilities by their issuers as well as related new disclosure requirements. The provisions of SFAS No. 150 are effective for instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and pre-existing instruments as of the beginning of the first interim period that commences after June 15, 2003. The application of this Statement does not have an impact on the company’s consolidated financial statements.

In November 2002, the EITF issued a final consensus on EITF Issue No. 00-21, Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables, which addresses how to account for arrangements that may involve the delivery or performance of multiple products, services, and/or rights to use assets. EITF Issue No. 00-21 is effective prospectively for arrangements entered into in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2003. Companies may also elect to apply the provisions of EITF Issue No. 00-21 to existing arrangements and record the income statement impact as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. The company has adopted EITF Issue No. 00-21 prospectively for contracts beginning after June 30, 2003.

7.     ACQUISITIONS

All of the acquisitions are accounted for as purchase business combinations and, accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed for each acquisition, based upon their respective fair values, with the excess allocated to goodwill.

The company is currently in the process of valuing goodwill and other intangible assets acquired in the transaction.

8.     SEGMENTS

The company has defined its segments as its three main sales channels: Diebold North America (DNA), Diebold International (DI) and Election Systems and Other (ES & Other). These sales channels are evaluated based on revenue from customers and operating profit contribution to the total corporation. A reconciliation between segment information and the condensed consolidated financial statements is disclosed. Revenue by geography and revenue by product and service solutions are also disclosed. All income and expense items below operating profit are not allocated to the segments and are not disclosed.

The DNA segment sells financial and retail systems and also services financial, retail and medical systems in the United States and Canada. The DI segment sells and services financial and retail systems over the remainder of the globe. The segment called ES & Other includes the operating results of DESI as well as corporate administrative costs. Each of the sales channels buys the goods it sells from the company’s manufacturing plants through intercompany sales that are eliminated in consolidation, and intersegment revenue is not significant. Each year, intercompany pricing is agreed upon which drives sales channel operating profit contribution. As permitted under SFAS 131, certain information not routinely used in the management of these segments, information not allocated back to the segments or information that is impractical to report is not shown. Items not allocated are as follows: interest income, interest expense, equity in the net income of investees accounted for by the equity method, income tax expense or benefit, extraordinary items, significant noncash items and other noncurrent assets.

9.     GUARANTEES AND PRODUCT WARRANTIES

The company has applied the disclosure provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 45, Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others, to its agreements that contain guarantees or indemnification clauses. These disclosure requirements expand those required by FASB Statement No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies, by requiring a guarantor to disclose certain types of guarantees, even if the likelihood of requiring the guarantor’s performance is remote. The following is a description of arrangements in effect as of September 30, 2003 in which the company is the guarantor.

In connection with the construction of three of its manufacturing facilities, the company guaranteed repayment of principal and interest on a total of $20,800 variable rate industrial development revenue bonds by obtaining letters of credit. The bonds were issued with a 20-year original term and are scheduled to mature in 2017. However, one of the manufacturing facilities was sold in 2002, which caused the company to repay $7,500 of bonds outstanding on April 1, 2003. Any default, as defined in the agreements, would obligate the company for the full amount of the outstanding bonds through maturity. At September 30, 2003, the carrying value of the liability was $13,300.

The company provides its global operations guarantees and standby letters of credit through various financial institutions to suppliers, regulatory agencies and insurance providers. If the company is not able to make payment, the suppliers, regulatory agencies and insurance providers may draw on the pertinent bank. As of September 30, 2003, the maximum future payment obligations relative to these various guarantees totaled $21,511, of which $12,990 represented standby letters of credit to insurance providers, and no associated liability was recorded.

The company provides its customers a standard manufacturer’s warranty and records, at the time of the sale, a corresponding estimated liability for potential warranty costs. Estimated future obligations due to warranty claims are based upon historical factors such as labor rates, average repair time, travel time, number of service calls per machine and cost of replacement parts. Changes in the company’s warranty liability balance are illustrated in the following table:

OF OPERATIONS

(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)

Material Changes in Financial Condition

The company’s financial position provides it with sufficient resources to meet projected future capital expenditures, dividends, and working capital requirements. However, if the need were to arise, the company’s strong financial position should ensure the availability of adequate additional financial resources.

Total Assets

Total assets as of September 30, 2003 were $1,798,813, representing an increase of $173,732 or 10.7 percent from December 31, 2002.

Short-term Investments

Short-term investments increased by $12,004 or 151.8 percent due to the combination of purchases of investments and reclassifications of long-term investments that will mature within the next year.

Trade Receivables

Trade receivables less allowances increased by $105,660 or 26.2 percent primarily due to a combination of increased product and service solutions revenue, recognition of a large election systems contract within the third quarter, and the year-over-year strengthening of the euro, Brazilian real and other currencies.

Inventories

Inventories increased $31,717 or 13.4 percent, as the company positioned for significant anticipated fourth quarter net sales growth.

Other Current Assets

Other current assets decreased by $19,379 or 18.4 percent. The decrease was primarily due to a net decrease in the value added tax due to timing of payments.

Goodwill

Goodwill increased by $45,813 or 17.1 percent. The increase in goodwill was principally due to the foreign currency translation impact on goodwill recorded in foreign currencies and new acquisitions in 2003.

Current Liabilities

Total current liabilities were $589,601, representing an increase of $27,450 or 4.9 percent from December 31, 2002.

Notes Payable

Notes payable decreased by $39,547 or 17.5 percent due to the net repayment of lines of credit through the use of cash generated from operations.

At September 30, 2003, the company had U.S. dollar denominated outstanding bank credit lines approximating $83,541, euro denominated outstanding bank credit lines approximating 83,728 (translated at $97,076) and Australian dollar denominated outstanding bank credit lines approximating 9,000 (translated at $6,095). An additional $199,149 was available under committed credit line agreements and $19,000 was available under uncommitted lines of credit.

Deferred Income

Deferred income is largely related to service contracts and is the result of customer service billings collected in advance of the period in which the service will be performed. Deferred income is recognized to income on a straight-line basis over the contract period. The company typically bills customers either annually, semi-annually or quarterly, depending upon the terms of the contract. The majority of the billings occur on an annual basis with the next largest volume occurring on a semi-annual basis. Deferred income increased by $37,697 or 43.7 percent primarily due to the timing of billings and an increase in the customer service base.

Long-term Liabilities

Long-term liabilities increased by $4,311 or 4.0 percent due to the financing arrangement related to the purchase and implementation of the Oracle global information technology platform. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in the pension liability due to the company’s voluntary contributions to the pension plan.

Shareholders’ Equity

Shareholders’ equity was $1,078,311, representing an increase of $137,488 or 14.6 percent over December 31, 2002. Shareholders’ equity per common share at September 30, 2003 increased to $14.85 from $13.05 at December 31, 2002. The third quarter cash dividend of $0.17 per share was paid on September 5, 2003 to shareholders of record on August 15, 2003. On October 9, 2003, the fourth quarter cash dividend of $0.17 per share was declared payable on December 5, 2003 to shareholders on record as of November 14, 2003. Diebold, Incorporated shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol of DBD.

Management’s Analysis of Cash Flows

Operating Activities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2003, the company generated $137,612 in cash from operating activities, compared with $29,149 for the comparable period in 2002. The increase in cash from operating activities was primarily the result of an improved working capital position.

The change in prepaid expenses was primarily caused by the $35,049 increase in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002. This change was the result of a $31,012 payment made to the IRS related to a then disputed claim regarding the deductibility of the interest on corporate owned life insurance. The change in certain other assets and liabilities was primarily the result of an increase in estimated taxes payable as well as an increase in deferred revenue. The increase in estimated taxes payable was driven by higher income and the timing of payments for the comparable periods. The increase in deferred revenue was driven primarily by an increase in the customer service base.

Investing Activities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2003, the company used $93,199 for investing activities, compared with $21,381 provided by investing activities for the comparable period in 2002. The change was due to a combination of an increase in capital and rotable spares expenditures, a change in certain other assets and an increase in net investment purchases. The increase in capital expenditures was primarily due to expenditures related to the implementation of an Oracle global information technology platform. The increase in rotable spares expenditures was primarily due to the company’s increased service market share internationally. The year over year change in certain other assets was primarily a result of securitization activity in 2002, which did not recur in 2003.

Financing Activities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2003, net cash used by financing activities was $99,804 compared with $40,595 for the comparable period in 2002. The increase was primarily due to the increase in net repayments on short term borrowings. In addition, there was a decrease in the level of securitization of finance receivables in 2003 compared to 2002. As the level of securitization activity decreases, the pool of securitized lease receivables decreases, which results in less proceeds and retained interest and a payment requirement on the 364-day facility agreement.

Results of Operations

Quarter Ended September 30, 2003 and 2002

Revenue

Net sales for the third quarter of 2003 were $570,239; a $40,440 or 7.6 percent increase over the third quarter 2002. Total financial self-service revenue grew by $29,434 or 8.3 percent with positive growth in all regions. Total security revenue grew by $18,336 or 15.4 percent driven by continued growth in security solutions sales to the financial industry, government and retail markets in the Americas. Net sales were also positively impacted by approximately $14,000 resulting from the strengthening of the euro, Brazilian real and other currencies. These increases were partially offset by a decline of $7,330 or 13.3 percent in election systems revenue. Total product revenue increased by $21,728 or 7.5 percent primarily due to growth in orders for both financial self-service and security solutions. Service revenue increased $18,712 or 7.8 percent primarily due to an increase in the core service customer base for both financial self-service and security solutions.

Gross Margin

The total gross margin was 29.4 percent, matching the third quarter 2002. Product gross margin increased to 32.2 percent from 30.1 percent in the third quarter 2002. Improved international financial self-service and election systems gross margins resulted in the improved product gross margin. Service gross margin decreased to 26.1 percent from 28.6 percent in the third quarter 2002. Increased pricing pressure in North America and Europe as well as a higher mix of installation revenue, which carries lower margins, contributed to the decrease in service gross margin. Installation revenue increased as a result of higher product revenue.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses were 16.7 percent of revenue and remained unchanged from the third quarter 2002. Reduced operating expenses in the core businesses were offset by higher operating expenses in the election systems business, as well as increased pension cost, which adversely impacted the third quarter 2003 by approximately $2 million.

Other Income (Expense)

Other income (expense) in the third quarter 2003 improved by $1,503 or 130.4 percent compared to the third quarter 2002. This improvement was primarily the result of interest expense reduction of $995 or 32.8 percent due to lower debt levels and reduced interest rates and an increase in investment income of $700, or 35.5 percent.

Net Income

Net income was 8.5 percent of revenue compared to 8.3 percent in the third quarter 2002. The improvement in net income as a percent of revenue was a result of the positive impact of other income (expense).

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2003 and 2002

Revenue

Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 were $1,461,263; a $46,929 or 3.3 percent increase over the comparable period in 2002. The increase in net sales occurred primarily in the security solutions market in the Americas, which increased $61,410 or 20.2 percent, as well as increases in the financial self-service solutions markets within the Asia Pacific and Europe, Middle East and Africa regions. The increases in Europe, Middle East and Africa were positively impacted by a strengthening euro. These increases were partially offset by a $40,803 or 39.5 percent decline in election systems net sales. Total product revenue increased by $3,917 or 0.5 percent primarily due to the growth in security and self-service product revenue, which was partially offset by a decrease in election systems product revenue. Service revenue increased $43,012 or 6.2 percent primarily due to an increase in the core service customer base for both financial self-service and security solutions.

Gross Margin

The total gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 was 29.7 percent, versus 29.8 percent in the comparable period in 2002. Product gross margin increased to 33.3 percent from 32.0 percent in 2002 driven by improved margins in financial self service solutions and the election systems business. Service gross margin decreased to 26.3 percent from 27.5 percent for the comparable period in 2002 due to increased pricing pressure in North America and Europe as well as a higher mix of installation revenue, which carries lower margins. Installation revenue increased as a result of higher product revenue.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses as a percent of revenue remained unchanged at 18.0 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 versus the comparable period in 2002. Reduced operating expenses in the core businesses were offset by higher operating expenses in the election systems business, as well as increased pension cost.

Other Income (Expense)

Other income (expense) for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 improved by $4,756 or 356.5 percent versus the comparable period in 2002. This improvement was primarily the result of interest expense reduction of $2,274 or 25.3 percent due to lower debt levels and reduced interest rates and an increase in investment income of $1,483, or 24.4 percent.

Net Income

Net income was 7.9 percent of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, an increase from 5.5 percent for the comparable period in 2002. The 2002 net income included a charge of $33,147, net of tax, related to a change in accounting principle resulting from the adoption of SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Net income before the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was 7.8 percent of revenue.

Segment Information

Third Quarter Results

Diebold North America (“DNA”) customer revenue of $332,720 for the third quarter ended September 30, 2003 increased by $40,939, or 14.0 percent from the same period in 2002. The higher revenue levels were due to an increase in the security solutions and financial self-service markets. DNA operating profits for the same period were $56,715, which represented an increase of $3,811 or 7.2 percent over the third quarter of 2002.

Diebold International (“DI”) customer revenue was $189,275 for the third quarter of 2003, which represented an increase of $6,025 or 3.3 percent from the same period in 2002. The increase was the result of increased revenue in the Asia Pacific, and Europe, Middle East and Africa markets, partially offset by lower revenues in Latin America. International revenue was favorably impacted by a strengthening euro, Brazilian real and other currencies. DI operating profit for the period was $18,698, an increase of $438 or 2.4 percent from the same period in 2002 due to geographic and product mix changes.

Election systems and Other revenue was $48,244 for the third quarter of 2003, which represented a decrease of $6,524 or 11.9 percent from the same period in 2002. This decrease was due primarily to revenue from the state of Maryland contract in the third quarter 2003 as compared to revenue from the larger state of Georgia contract in the third quarter of 2002.

Nine-Month Period

Diebold North America (“DNA”) customer revenue of $891,881 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 increased by $79,397, or 9.8 percent from the same period in 2002. The higher revenue levels were due to an increase in the security solutions and financial self-service revenue. DNA operating profits for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 were $142,421, which represented an increase of $8,320 or 6.2 percent from the same period in 2002.

Diebold International (“DI”) customer revenue was $506,388 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, which represented an increase of $8,091 or 1.6 percent from the same period in 2002. The increase was the result of financial self-service revenue growth in the Asia Pacific and Europe, Middle East and Africa regions, which was partially offset by lower revenues in Latin America. International revenue was favorably impacted by a strengthening euro, Brazilian real and other currencies. DI operating profit for the period was $47,770, an increase of $5,435 or 12.8 percent from the same period in 2002 due to changes in geographic mix.

Election Systems and Other revenue was $62,994 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, which represented a decrease of $40,559, or 39.2 percent. This decrease was due primarily to a larger state of Georgia contract in 2002 as compared to the state of Maryland contract in 2003.

Significant Accounting Policies

The consolidated financial statements of the company are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented. Management of the company uses historical information and all available information to make these estimates and assumptions. Actual amounts could differ from these estimates and different amounts could be reported using different assumptions and estimates. Management believes that of its significant accounting policies, its policies concerning trade receivables and revenue recognition, inventories,

goodwill and pension and postretirement benefits are the most critical. Additional information regarding these policies is included below.

Trade Receivables and Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized based on the terms of the sales contract. The majority of sales contracts for products are written with selling terms “F.O.B. factory.” However, certain sales contracts may have other terms such as “F.O.B. destination” or “upon installation.” The company recognizes revenue on these contracts when the appropriate event has occurred. Service revenue is recognized in the period service is performed and subject to the individual terms of the service contract.

The concentration of credit risk in the company’s trade receivables with respect to the banking and financial services industries is substantially mitigated by the company’s credit evaluation process, reasonably short collection terms and the geographical dispersion of sales transactions from a large number of individual customers. The company maintains allowances for potential credit losses, and such losses have been minimal and within management’s expectations. The allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated based on various factors including revenue, historical credit losses and current trends.

Inventories

Domestic inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market applied on a first-in, first-out basis and foreign inventories are valued using the average cost method. As the company launches new products and rationalizes its product offerings, inventory related to discontinued product is written down to salvage value.

Goodwill

Goodwill is the cost in excess of the net assets of acquired businesses. These assets are stated at cost and, effective January 1, 2002, are no longer amortized, but evaluated at least annually for impairment, in accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS No. 142 establishes accounting and reporting standards for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets in that goodwill and other intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives will not be amortized but rather will be tested at least annually for impairment. Intangible assets that have finite useful lives continue to be amortized over their useful lives.

The company tests all existing goodwill for impairment on a “reporting unit” basis annually in the fourth quarter. The reporting units were determined on a geographical basis that combines two or more component-level reporting units with similar economic characteristics within a single reporting unit.

A fair value approach is used to test goodwill for impairment. An impairment charge is recognized for the amount, if any, by which the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value. Fair values of reporting units and the related implied fair values of their respective goodwill were established using discounted cash flows. When available and as appropriate, comparative market multiples were used to corroborate results of the discounted cash flows.

Pensions and Postretirement Benefits

The company has several pension plans covering substantially all United States employees. Plans covering salaried employees provide pension benefits that are based on the employee’s compensation during the 10 years before retirement. The company’s funding policy for those plans is to contribute annually at an actuarially determined rate. Plans covering hourly employees and union members generally provide benefits of stated amounts for each year of service.

Pensions and Postretirement Benefits (Continued)

The company’s funding policy for those plans is to make at least the minimum annual contributions required by applicable regulations.

Employees of the company’s operations in countries outside of the United States participate to varying degrees in local pension plans, which in the aggregate are not significant.

Minimum liabilities are recorded for plans where the total accumulated benefit obligation exceeds the fair value of the plan’s assets.

In addition to providing pension benefits, the company provides healthcare and life insurance benefits for certain retired employees. Eligible employees may be entitled to these benefits based upon years of service with the company, age at retirement and collective bargaining agreements. Currently there are no plan assets and the company funds the benefits as the claims are paid.

The postretirement benefit obligation was determined by application of the terms of medical and life insurance plans together with relevant actuarial assumptions and healthcare cost trend rates. Annually, the company analyzes its key assumptions related to its pension plans. Key assumptions include the long-term rate of return on plan assets, the discount rate and the compensation levels. Such factors as financial market performance and actual compensation levels are considered when analyzing the key assumptions.

Outlook

The following statements are based on current expectations. These statements are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially. These statements do not include the potential impact of any future mergers, acquisitions, disposals or other business combinations.

Fourth quarter and full-year 2003 outlook

Strong gains in financial self-service orders, driven in part by growing acceptance of the new Opteva ATM line, have increased the company’s financial self-service revenue expectations for the fourth quarter. These gains will be offset in the election systems business, however, due to a delay caused by an independent security review of all the selected vendors’ products in Ohio. Therefore, Diebold has reduced its election systems revenue expectations in Ohio for the fourth quarter from $30 million to $10 million, with the balance moving to 2004. As a result, election systems revenue for the fourth quarter is now expected to be approximately $47 to $52 million, which would represent a substantial increase from fourth quarter 2002 election systems revenue of $7.6 million.

Given the additional revenue in the third quarter and the exceptionally strong financial self-service order growth, the company now anticipates full-year financial self-service revenue growth of 4-6 percent. The company had previously expected full-year financial self-service revenue growth of 1-4 percent. Year-over-year election systems revenue is expected to be essentially flat. Taking these factors into consideration, expectations for the fourth quarter and the full year include:

Fourth quarter

  Fourth quarter revenue is expected to grow 15-20 percent versus the prior year
 
  Depreciation and amortization will be approximately $17 million for the fourth quarter
 
  Pension expense of approximately $.01 per share in the fourth quarter of 2003 compared to pension income of $.01 per share in the fourth quarter of 2002
 
  Fourth quarter EPS to be in the range of $.78 to $.83

  A full year effective tax rate of approximately 32.0 percent
 
  Full year earnings per share guidance of $2.37 to $2.42

2004 outlook

Looking forward to 2004, while business unit forecasts have yet to be finalized and visibility is difficult given uncertain global economic conditions, management believes that through continued focus on speed, global efficiencies and creative solutions to customer needs, the company will continue to gain market share. The following expectations do not include the potential impact of any future mergers, acquisitions, disposals or other business combinations, as well as the impact from any possible changes in the rules surrounding the accounting for stock options. Given these factors management has the following expectations:

  2004 revenue growth of 8 to 10 percent
 
  Depreciation and amortization in the range of $68 to $73 million
 
  Pension expense will be approximately $.04 per share compared to $.01 expense per share in 2003
 
  Effective tax rate of approximately 32.0 percent
 
  2004 earnings per share are expected to be in the range of $2.58 to $2.70.

Forward-Looking Statement Disclosure

In the company’s written or oral statements, the use of the words “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects” and similar expressions is intended to identify forward-looking statements that have been made and may in the future be made by or on behalf of the company, including statements concerning future operating performance, the company’s share of new and existing markets, and the company’s short- and long-term revenue and earnings growth rates. Although the company believes that its outlook is based upon reasonable assumptions regarding the economy, its knowledge of its business, and on key performance indicators which impact the company, there can be no assurance that the company’s goals will be realized. The company is not obligated to report changes to its outlook. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. The company’s uncertainties could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in forward-looking statements. These include, but are not limited to:

  competitive pressures, including pricing pressures and technological developments;
 
  changes in the company’s relationships with customers, suppliers, distributors and/or partners in its business ventures;
 
  changes in political, economic or other factors such as currency exchange rates, inflation rates, recessionary or expansive trends, taxes and regulations and laws affecting the worldwide business in each of the company’s operations, including Brazil, where a significant portion of the company’s revenue is derived;
 
  acceptance of the company’s product and technology introductions in the marketplace;
 
  unanticipated litigation, claims or assessments;
 
  ability to reduce costs and expenses and improve internal operating efficiencies; and
 
  variation in consumer demand for self-service technologies, products and services.

ITEM 3.   QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The company is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk inherent in its international operations denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. A hypothetical 10 percent unfavorable movement in the applicable foreign exchange rates would have resulted in a decrease in 2003 year-to-date operating profit of approximately $2.4 million. The sensitivity model assumes an instantaneous, parallel shift in the foreign currency exchange rates. Exchange rates rarely move in the same direction. The assumption that exchange rates change in an instantaneous or parallel fashion may overstate the impact of changing exchange rates on amounts denominated in a foreign currency.

The company’s risk management strategy uses derivative financial instruments such as forwards to hedge certain foreign currency exposures. The intent is to offset gains and losses that occur on the underlying exposures, with gains and losses on the derivative contracts hedging these exposures. The company does not enter into derivatives for trading purposes.

     
ITEM 4.   DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The company evaluated the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures to determine whether they are effective in ensuring that the disclosure of required information is timely made in accordance with the Exchange Act and the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. This evaluation was made under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer for the quarter ended September 30, 2003. The principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded, based on their review, that the company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as defined at Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e), are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the company in reports that it files under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. No significant changes were made to the company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the company’s most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

     
ITEM 1.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

At September 30, 2003, the company was a party to several lawsuits that were incurred in the normal course of business, none of which individually or in the aggregate is considered material by management in relation to the company’s financial position or results of operations. In management’s opinion, the condensed consolidated financial statements would not be materially affected by the outcome of any present legal proceedings, commitments, or asserted claims.
