CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The financial information included herein is unaudited; 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, 2001. 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, 2002 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 with the current presentation format.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 142 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets , which for the company, was effective January 1, 2002. SFAS 142 establishes accounting and reporting standards for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets in that goodwill and 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 will continue to be amortized over their useful lives. The nine month period of 2001 earnings per share of $0.69 included goodwill amortization of $7,728, net of tax. Had SFAS 142 been in effect as of January 1, 2001 and goodwill was not amortized, earnings per share would have been $0.23 for the three month period ended September 30, 2001 and $0.80 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2001.

Under SFAS 142, the company was required to test all existing goodwill for impairment as of January 1, 2002, on a “reporting unit” basis. A reporting unit is the operating segment. SFAS 142 requires that two or more component-level reporting units with similar economic characteristics be combined into 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.

In June 2002, the company completed the transitional goodwill impairment test in accordance with SFAS 142, which resulted in a non-cash charge of $38,859 ($33,147 after tax, or $0.46 per share) and is reported in the caption “Cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.” All of the charge related to the company’s Latin American division. The primary factors that resulted in the impairment charge was the difficult economic environment in the Latin American market. No impairment charge was appropriate under the FASB’s previous goodwill impairment standard, which was based on undiscounted cash flows.

In June 2001, the 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 provisions of SFAS No. 143 will be effective for the company’s financial statement for the year beginning January 1, 2003. The company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a significant impact on its financial position, earnings or cash flows.

In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long- Lived Assets . This statement supersedes SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of , and the accounting and reporting provisions of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 30, Reporting Results of Operations — Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions .

SFAS No. 144 requires that one accounting model be used for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, whether previously held and used or newly acquired, and it broadens the presentation of discontinued operations to include disposal transactions. Although retaining many of the fundamental recognition and measurement provisions of SFAS No. 121, the statement significantly changes the criteria that would have to be met to classify an asset as held-for-sale. This distinction is important because assets held-for-sale are stated at lower of their fair values or carrying amounts and depreciation is no longer recognized. The company has adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 144 as of January 1, 2002 and has determined that SFAS No. 144 has no impact on its financial position and results of operations.

In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. This statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies 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 Issue 94-3, a liability for an exit cost as defined in Issue 94-3 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 or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. The company has elected early adoption as it pertains to the asset sale of the 1200 cash dispensers to Cardtronics. See footnote 6 for further information regarding the sale.

On October 4, 2002 the FASB issued an exposure draft , Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure , which would amend SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation . As part of this proposed amendment, companies electing not to expense stock options would be required to provide the pro forma net income and earnings per share information not only annually but also on a quarterly basis. While continuing to review the matter, the company has no current plans to begin expensing stock options.

The company complies with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation” by providing disclosure in the annual filing of the proforma effects of issuing stock options to employees and directors. The company expects the proforma effect of issued stock options, will approximate $0.05 per share for December 31, 2002.

ACQUISITIONS/DIVESTITURES

On January 22, 2002, the company announced the acquisition of Global Election Systems Inc. (GES), now known as Diebold Election Systems, Inc., a manufacturer and supplier of electronic voting terminals and solutions. GES was acquired in a combination of cash and stock for a total purchase price of $24,667. A cash payment of $4,845 was made in January 2002 with the remaining purchase price being paid with company stock valued at $19,822. The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase business combination and, accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based upon their respective fair values, with the excess allocated to goodwill. Goodwill and other intangibles acquired in the transaction amounted to $34,075.

On July 15, 2002, the company announced the acquisition of Sersi Italia, a company specializing in multi- vendor customer service and closed-circuit television monitoring of automated teller machines (ATMs) for banks and post offices throughout Italy. The purchase price was $2,000 and was paid in cash in July 2002. The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase business combination and, accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based

upon their respective fair values, with any excess allocated to goodwill. Goodwill and other intangibles acquired in the transaction amounted to $2,049.

On September 30, 2002, the company finalized the asset sale of 1,200 cash dispensers that it owned and operated to Cardtronics. The agreement included the sale of hardware and related placement contracts. The sale resulted in a gain of $1,023, net of tax or approximately $0.01 per share.

CORPORATE OWNED LIFE INSURANCE (COLI) CLAIM

As previously disclosed in prior filings, the company continues to dispute a claim by the IRS concerning the deductibility of interest on corporate owned life insurance (COLI). Since management believes that the company’s facts and circumstances are meritorious and continues to vigorously contest the IRS’ claim, the company has made no provision for any possible earnings impact. However, if unsuccessful, a pre-tax charge of approximately $35,300 and $29,300 after-tax would result. This amount represents tax of approximately $17,600 and interest of approximately $17,700. The company expects the claim to be resolved in 2003. Now that the IRS has completed its audit for years 1990 through 1996, the company was required to pay the taxes from those years and then pursue a refund for this amount. Therefore, the company has made payments totaling approximately $31,300 in cash of which approximately $19,400 was paid in July 2002 for taxes and interest related to these years. There are two years remaining (1997 and 1998) under audit, which could result in an additional cash payment of up to $4,000, including interest. No other years after 1998 are subject to this claim.

8.

OTHER LONG-TERM LIABILITIES

In July 2002, the company entered into a multi-year information technology outsourcing arrangement with Deloitte Consulting to transform specific business processes, administer application development, and provide related project management, maintenance and support. As part of this arrangement, the company purchased an Oracle global information technology platform, which was reflected in property, plant and equipment at a cost of $24,863. The financing arrangement is included in both other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities with a term of 5 years and an interest rate of 5.75 percent.

9.

SEGMENTS

In determining reportable segments, the company considers its operating and management structure and the types of information subject to regular review by its executive management team. Information subject to regular review by the company’s management team is aggregated in three reporting segments consisting of its three main sales channels: Diebold North America (“DNA”), Diebold International (“DI”) and Other, which combines several of the company’s smaller sales channels including Diebold Election Systems Inc. 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 also disclosed. All income and expense items below operating profit are not allocated to the segments and are not disclosed. Revenue by geography and revenue by product and service solution are also disclosed.

The DNA segment sells financial and retail systems and also services financial, retail and educational customers 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 Other sells voting solutions and miscellaneous parts and products to other customers. Each of the sales channels buys the goods it sells from the company’s manufacturing plants through inter-company sales that are eliminated on consolidation. Each year, inter-company 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 disclosed are as follows: interest revenue, interest expense, amortization, equity in the net income of investees accounted for by the equity method, income tax expense or benefit, extraordinary items, significant noncash items and total assets.
