PART I.
The Registrant was incorporated under the laws of the State of Ohio in August, 1876, succeeding a proprietorship established in 1859 and is engaged primarily in the sale, manufacture, installation and service of automated self-service transaction systems, electronic and physical security products, software and integrated systems.
During 1996, no significant changes occurred in the manner of conducting the Registrant's business.
The Registrant operates predominantly in one industry segment: financial systems and equipment. This segment accounts for more than 90% of the consolidated net sales, operating profit and identifiable assets.
The Registrant develops, manufactures, sells and services automated teller machines (ATMs), electronic and physical security systems, various products used to equip bank facilities, software and integrated systems for global financial and commercial markets. Sales of systems and equipment are made directly to customers by the Registrant's sales personnel and by manufacturer's representatives and distributors. The sales/support organization works closely with customers and their consultants to analyze and fulfill the customers' needs. Products are sold under contract for future delivery at agreed upon prices. In 1996, 1995, and 1994 the Registrant's sales and services of financial systems and equipment accounted for more than 90% of consolidated net sales.
The principal raw materials used by the Registrant are steel, copper, brass, lumber and plastics which are purchased from various major suppliers. Electronic parts and components are also procured from various suppliers. These materials and components are generally available in quantity at this time.
The Registrant had one customer, International Business Machines (IBM), who is its partner in the InterBold joint venture, that accounted for $157,639,000 of the total net sales of $1,030,191,000 in 1996 and $101,363,000 of the total net sales of $863,409,000 in 1995.
Backlog as of December 31, 1996 was $233,586,000 which was a 38% increase from December 31, 1995 backlog of $168,754,000. While this increase in backlog can be considered positive, order backlog is not the sole indicator of future revenue streams. There are numerous other factors which influence the amount and timing of revenue in future periods.
All phases of the Registrant's business are highly competitive; some products being in competition directly with similar products and others competing with alternative products having similar uses or producing similar results. Registrant believes, based upon outside independent industry surveys, that it is the leading manufacturer of automated teller machines in the United States and is also a market leader internationally. In the area of automated transaction systems, the Registrant competes primarily with NCR Corporation, Triton, Siemens-Nixdorf, Dassault, Bull, Olivetti and Fujitsu. In serving the security products market for the financial services industry, the Registrant competes primarily with Mosler and Lefebure in the security equipment and systems field. Of these, some compete in only one or two product lines, while others sell a broader spectrum of products competing with the Registrant. However, the unavailability of comparative sales information and the large variety of individual products makes it impossible to give reasonable estimates of the Registrant's competitive ranking in or share of the market in its security product fields of activity. Many smaller manufacturers of safes, surveillance cameras, alarm systems and remote drive-up equipment are found in the market.
The Registrant charged to expense approximately $41.8 million in 1996, $35.5 million in 1995, and $28.0 million in 1994 for research and development costs.
Compliance by the Registrant with federal, state and local environmental protection laws during 1996 had no material effect upon capital expenditures, earnings or the competitive position of the Registrant and its subsidiaries.
The total number of employee associates employed by the Registrant at December 31, 1996 was 5,980 compared with 5,178 at the end of the preceding year.
Sales to customers outside the United States as a percent of total consolidated net sales approximated 22.3 percent in 1996, and 19.8 percent in 1995 and 1994.
The Registrant's corporate offices are located in North Canton, Ohio. It owns facilities (approximately 1.6 million square feet) in Canton, Uniontown and Newark, Ohio; Lynchburg, Virginia; Sumter, South Carolina; and leases facilities (approximately .3 million square feet) in Akron, Canton, Canal Fulton, Massillon, Newark and Seville, Ohio; Mexico City, Mexico; Rancho Dominguez, California; and Shanghai, China. These facilities house manufacturing, production, associated engineering, warehousing, testing, administration and development and distribution for all product lines. To keep its facilities both suitable and adequate for operations, the Registrant has announced the addition of three new facilities in Staunton and Danville, Virginia and in Lexington, North Carolina. The Registrant is also expanding and upgrading its existing operations in Canton, Ohio and Sumter, South Carolina.
At December 31, 1996, the Registrant 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 in relation to the Registrant's financial position or results of operations.
No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the fourth quarter of 1996.

NET SALES
Net sales for 1996 totaled $1,030,191, which represented growth of $166,782 or 19.3 percent from 1995 and $270,020 or 35.5 percent from 1994. This was the Registrant's seventh consecutive year of record sales as well as the first year in the Registrant's 138 - year history that sales have exceeded the $1 billion mark.
Product net sales of $688,519 grew $134,897 or 24.4 percent from 1995 and $209,205 or 43.6 percent from 1994. During 1996, the Registrant experienced a significant growth in global sales of ATMs. Sales increased from all other major product lines, except in the electronic security products group. Total U.S. product revenue was up 23.7 percent from 1995. Sales of products outside the United States increased 38.3 percent from 1995 as compared with a 16.2 percent increase in 1995 from 1994.
Service net sales of $341,672 increased $31,885 or 10.3 percent from 1995 and were up $60,815 or 21.7 percent from 1994. The major factors contributing to the service revenue gain in 1996 were the growth of the installed base of equipment resulting from new product installations and continued growth of service offerings such as first-line maintenance.
Total product backlog of unfilled orders was $233,586 at December 31, 1996, compared with $168,754 at the end of 1995 and $152,511 at the end of 1994. While this increase in backlog can be considered positive, order backlog is not the sole indicator of future revenue streams. There are numerous other factors which influence the amount and timing of revenue in future periods.
COST OF SALES AND EXPENSES
Cost of sales for 1996 was $672,253, compared with $568,978 in 1995 and $504,489 in 1994.
Gross profits on product sales increased $58,441 and $95,979 from 1995 and 1994, respectively, to a level of $263,503 in 1996. Product gross margins in 1996 were 38.3 percent of product sales, compared with 37.0 percent in 1995 and 35.0 percent in 1994. The continued increase in product gross profits was a result of increased sales volumes and cost reduction efforts.
Service gross profits of $94,435 in 1996 increased from $89,369 in 1995 and $88,158 in 1994. Service gross margins as a percentage of service sales were 28.8 percent in 1995 and 31.4 percent in 1994, as compared with 27.6 percent in 1996. The reduction in service gross margins is due to a continued growth of new service offerings which have generated lower margins than traditional service offerings.
Supporting the Registrant's volume growth and market expansion, operating expenses increased $29,954 or 16.0 percent from 1995 and were $52,666 or 31.9 percent above 1994. Total operating expenses of $217,574 or 21.1 percent of net sales in 1996 represented a decrease from the 1995 and 1994 level of 21.7 percent. However, research, development and engineering expense has increased proportionately to the growth in net sales reflecting the Company's commitment to ensure a continuing flow of new products in the future.
Operating profit of $140,364 in 1996 represented an increase of $33,553 or 31.4 percent from 1995 and $49,590 or 54.6 percent from 1994. Operating profit again grew faster than net sales as manufacturing cost reductions and operating expense controls continue to cause the operating profit margin to widen from 12.4 percent and 11.9 percent in 1995 and 1994, respectively, up to 13.6 percent in 1996.
OTHER INCOME, NET AND MINORITY INTEREST
Other income, net increased $3,921 or 59.3 percent from 1995 and $5,381 or 104.4 percent from 1994. This increase is primarily due to higher investment income in 1996 as compared with 1995 as a result of continuing growth in Diebold Credit Corporation. Additionally, during 1996, the Registrant realized favorable returns on maturing investments that were previously considered uncertain. The increase in investment income was offset, however, by increases in certain expenses related to Company-owned insurance contracts and amortization related to certain assets.
Minority interest of $4,393 increased from $200 in 1995 and $1,948 in 1994.
Minority interest consisted primarily of income or losses allocated to the
minority ownership of InterBold and Diebold Financial Equipment Company, Ltd.
(China). Minority interests for both companies are calculated as a percentage of
profits of the joint ventures based on formulas defined in the relevant
agreements establishing each venture.
INCOME
Income before taxes amounted to $146,504 in 1996. This was an increase of $33,281 or 29.4 percent from 1995 and $52,526 or 55.9 percent from 1994. Income before taxes also improved as a percentage of net sales, representing 14.2 percent in 1996, compared with 13.1 percent in 1995 and 12.4 percent in 1994.
The effective tax rate was 33.5 percent in 1996, compared with 32.7 percent in 1995 and 32.4 percent in 1994. The primary reason for the higher tax rate in 1996 was a reduction in tax-exempt interest as a percentage of pretax income and tax law changes that affected insurance contracts. Details of the reconciliation between the U.S. statutory rate and the effective tax rate are included in Note 12 of the 1996 Consolidated Financial Statements.
Net income increased to $97,425 or 9.5 percent of net sales, compared with income of $76,209 or 8.8 percent of net sales in 1995 and $63,511 or 8.4 percent of net sales in 1994.
MANAGEMENT'S ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
The Registrant continued to enhance its financial position during 1996. Total assets increased $109,306 or 14.6 percent to a 1996 year-end level of $859,101. Asset turnover (excluding cash, cash equivalents and short-term and long-term investment securities) was 1.70 and 1.71 in 1996 and 1995, respectively.
Total current assets at December 31, 1996, of $479,592 represented an increase of $103,380 or 27.5 percent from the prior year-end. The increase in trade receivables and inventories comprised the majority of this increase and was a result of higher sales volumes and continued expansion of international operations and other new business operations in 1996. Trade receivables increased $59,427 or 30.1 percent to a level of $256,572 at December 31, 1996. As a percentage of net sales, trade receivables were 20.1 percent and 22.8 percent in 1994 and 1995, respectively, as compared with 24.9 percent in 1996. Inventories at year-end 1996 totaled $109,432 which represented an increase of $18,430 or 20.3 percent from 1995. This increase in inventory was caused by the growth of product sales of 24.4 percent in 1996.
Long-term securities and other investments declined by $8,338 or 5.7 percent to a level of $138,403 at December 31, 1996, largely due to maturities of tax-exempt municipal bonds, which were reinvested into short-term investments. The Registrant anticipates being able to meet both short- and long-term operational funding requirements without liquidating individual securities prior to maturity by varying the timing of maturities within the portfolio. However, since most of these securities are marketable, they could readily be converted into cash and cash equivalents if needed.
Total property, plant and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation, was $95,934 at the end of 1996, which represented a net increase of $11,862 or 14.1 percent over prior year-end. Capital expenditures were $33,581 in 1996, compared with $35,308 in 1995. The 1996 capital expenditures resulted primarily from the need to meet higher manufacturing capacity requirements; expansion of facilities for research, software development, management development and support services; and continued investment in internal applications hardware and software. In 1996, the Registrant announced the expansion of Diebold Credit Corporation to manage the growing business of financing to customers. Finance receivables increased from $44,614 in 1995 to $46,030 in 1996 due to shipment of additional equipment under lease agreements.
Total current liabilities at December 31, 1996, were $228,220, which represented an increase of $39,142 or 20.7 percent from the prior year-end. The primary cause for the increase in current liabilities was an increase in accounts payable of $27,805 or 41.6 percent to a level of $94,709 from $66,904 in the prior year-end. The Registrant's current ratio was 2.1 at the end of 1996, compared with 2.0 at the end of 1995.
At December 31, 1996, the Registrant had lines of credit totaling $40,000, all unrestricted as to use. Due to the strong liquidity position, the Registrant continued its practice of having no long-term debt. The Registrant's financial position provides it with sufficient resources to meet future capital expenditures, dividend and working capital requirements. However, if the need arises, the Registrant's strong financial position should ensure the availability of adequate additional financial resources.
Pension liabilities were $20,308 at December 31, 1996, representing an increase of $2,785 or 15.9 percent over prior year-end. The net periodic pension costs of $4,669 charged to income in 1996 represented an increase of $1,141 from the prior year, primarily due to a continual increase in the Registrant's employee associates over the past several years resulting in an increase in service cost.
Minority interests of $13,140 represented the minority interest in InterBold owned by IBM and the minority interests in Diebold Financial Equipment Company, Ltd. (China) owned by the Aircraft Industries of China and the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, Shanghai Pudong Branch. Shareholders' equity increased $67,890 or 13.4 percent to $575,570 at December 31, 1996. Shareholders' equity per share was $8.36 at the end
of 1996, compared with $7.39 in 1995. The Common Shares of the Registrant are listed on the New York Stock Exchange with a symbol of DBD. There were approximately 58,251 shareholders as of December 31, 1996.
On January 30, 1997, the Board of Directors declared a three-for-two stock split effected in the form of a stock dividend, distributed on February 19, 1997, to shareholders of record on February 7, 1997. Accordingly, all numbers of Common Shares, except authorized shares and treasury shares, and all per share data have been restated to reflect this stock split. In addition to the stock split, the Board of Directors declared a first-quarter 1997 cash dividend of $0.125 per share. This amount, which represents a 10.3 percent increase from the prior year's quarterly dividend rate, will be paid on March 28, 1997, to shareholders of record on March 7, 1997. Comparative quarterly cash dividends paid in 1996 and 1995 were $0.1133 and $0.1067, respectively.
MANAGEMENT'S ANALYSIS OF CASH FLOWS
During 1996, the Registrant generated $93,635 in cash from operating activities, compared with $71,152 in 1995 and $39,017 in 1994. In addition to net income of $97,425, adjusted for depreciation, amortization and other charges of $32,963, increases in accounts payable and other certain assets and liabilities of $45,291 also increased cash provided by operations. Cash was utilized in operations to fund long-term finance receivables and increases in inventory levels and trade receivables as a result of additional sales volumes and growth of international operations. Expressed as a percentage of total assets employed, the Registrant's cash yield from operations was 10.9 percent in 1996, compared with 9.5 percent in 1995 and 5.9 percent in 1994.
Net cash generated from operating activities in 1996 was used to reinvest $52,478 in assets of the Registrant, compared with $43,173 in 1995 and $38,299 in 1994. The Registrant returned $31,190 to shareholders in the form of cash dividends paid during 1996, which was a 6.5 percent increase from 1995 and a 16.9 percent increase from 1994.
OTHER BUSINESS INFORMATION
In order to meet continuing worldwide demand, the Registrant has three new manufacturing facilities under construction located in Staunton and Danville, Virginia and in Lexington, North Carolina. In addition, the Registrant plans to expand and upgrade its existing operations in Canton, Ohio and Sumter, South Carolina. The new plants are expected to begin operations by the second half of 1997.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DIEBOLD, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
(Dollars in thousands except per share amounts)
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Registrant and its wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS
For the purposes of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, the Registrant considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash paid during 1996, 1995 and 1994 for income taxes amounted to $47,293, $40,487 and $37,488, respectively.
INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS
The Registrant translates the assets and liabilities of its non-U.S. subsidiaries at the exchange rates in effect at year-end and the results of operations at the average rate throughout the year. The translation adjustments are recorded directly as a separate component of shareholders' equity, while transaction gains (losses) are included in net income. The Registrant does not have any investment-type transactions or any unperformed forward exchange contracts.
Sales to customers outside the United States approximated 22.3 percent of net sales in 1996, and 19.8 percent of net sales in 1995 and 1994. The investment used to generate this sales volume is considered minimal by management, due to heavy reliance on outside distributors worldwide.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The carrying amount of financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and accounts payable approximated fair value as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, because of the relatively short maturity of these instruments.
TRADE RECEIVABLES AND SALES
Revenue, after provision for installation, is generally recognized based on the terms of the contracts which, for product sales, is usually when material to be installed for customer orders is shipped from the plants.
The equipment that is sold is usually shipped and installed within one year. Installation that extends beyond one year is ordinarily attributable to causes not under the control of the Registrant.
The concentration of credit risk in the Registrant's trade receivables with respect to the banking and financial services industries is substantially mitigated by the Registrant's credit evaluation process, reasonably short collection terms and the geographical dispersion of sales transactions from a large number of individual customers. The Registrant maintains allowances for potential credit losses, and such losses have been minimal and within management's expectations.
INVENTORIES
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market applied on a first-in, first-out basis. Cost is determined on the basis of actual cost.
INVESTMENT SECURITIES
Effective January 1, 1994, the Registrant adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." There was no cumulative effect on the Consolidated Income Statement resulting from the adoption of Statement 115.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION
Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is computed using the straight-line method for financial statement purposes. Accelerated methods of depreciation are used for federal income tax purposes. Amortization of leasehold improvements is based upon the shorter of original terms of the lease or life of the improvement.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Total research and development costs charged to expense were $41,797, $35,470 and $28,029 in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
OTHER ASSETS
Other assets primarily consist of the costs in excess of the net assets of acquired businesses (goodwill), pension assets and certain other assets. These assets are stated at cost and, if applicable, are amortized ratably over a period of three to 25 years. The Registrant periodically monitors the value of goodwill by assessing whether the asset can be recovered over its remaining useful life through undiscounted cash flows generated by the underlying businesses.
DEFERRED INCOME
Deferred income is recognized for customer billings in advance of the period in which the service will be performed and is recognized in income on a straight-line basis over the contract period.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Prior to January 1, 1996, the Registrant accounted for its stock option plans in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and related interpretations. As such, compensation expense would be recorded on the date of grant only if the current market price of the underlying stock exceeded the exercise price. On January 1, 1996, the Registrant adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", which permits entities to recognize as expense over the vesting period the fair value of all stock-based awards on the date of grant. Alternatively, Statement 123 also allows entities to continue to apply the provisions of APB Opinion 25 and provide pro forma net income and pro forma net income per share disclosures for employee stock option grants made in 1995 and future years as if the fair value based method defined in Statement 123 had been applied. The Registrant has elected to continue to apply the provisions of APB Opinion 25 and provide the pro forma disclosure provisions of Statement 123.
TAXES ON INCOME
Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
USE OF ESTIMATES IN PREPARATION OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
The Registrant has reclassified the presentation of certain prior-year information to conform with the current presentation format.
NOTE 2: RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
INTERBOLD JOINT VENTURE
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of InterBold, a joint venture between the Registrant and IBM, of which the Registrant owns 70 percent. The joint venture provides ATMs and other financial self-service systems worldwide. IBM's ownership interest in InterBold is reflected in "minority interest" on the Registrant's Consolidated Balance Sheets. Net profits of InterBold are allocated based upon a formula as specified in the partnership agreement.
NOTE 3: INVESTMENT SECURITIES
At December 31, 1996 and 1995, the investment portfolio was classified as available-for-sale due to the potential needs for liquidity to fund future acquisitions, joint ventures and strategic alliances throughout the world as part of a continuing strategy to strengthen the Registrant's global competitiveness. The marketable debt and equity securities are stated at fair value, and the Registrant includes as a separate component of shareholders' equity until realized net unrealized holding gains of $526 (net of taxes of $283) and net unrealized holding gains of $958 (net of taxes of $516) at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The fair value of securities and other investments is estimated based on quoted market prices.
The Registrant's investment securities, excluding insurance contracts, at December 31, are summarized as follows:

NOTE 7: SHORT-TERM FINANCING
At December 31, 1996, bank credit lines approximated $40,000 with various banks for short-term financing. The Registrant had no outstanding borrowings under these agreements at December 31, 1996 and 1995.
The Registrant has informal understandings with certain banks to maintain compensating balances which are not legally restricted as to withdrawal. The lines of credit can be withdrawn at each bank's option.
NOTE 8: SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
On January 30, 1997, the Board of Directors declared a three-for-two stock split effected in the form of a stock dividend, distributed on February 19, 1997, to shareholders of record on February 7, 1997. Prior to the 1997 stock split, on January 26, 1996, the Board of Directors declared a three-for-two stock split effected in the form of a stock dividend, distributed on February 23, 1996, to shareholders of record on February 9, 1996. Accordingly, all numbers of Common Shares, except authorized shares and treasury shares, and all per share data have been restated to reflect these stock splits.
On the basis of amounts declared and paid, the annualized quarterly dividends per share were $0.45 in 1996, $0.43 in 1995 and $0.39 in 1994.
At December 31, 1996, the Registrant has three stock-based compensation plans, which are described below. The Registrant applies APB Opinion 25 and related interpretations in accounting for its plans. Under the guidelines of APB Opinion 25, compensation cost for fixed and variable stock-based awards is measured by the excess, if any, of the market price of the underlying stock over the exercise price of the option at the grant date.
In the following chart, the Registrant provides net income and net income per share reduced by the pro forma amounts calculating compensation cost for the Registrant's fixed stock option plan consistent with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 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 1996 and 1995, respectively: risk-free interest rates of 5.5 and 6.5 percent; dividend yield of 2.2 and 3.0 percent; expected lives of seven, six and four years for options granted in both 1996 and 1995; and volatility of 21 and 20 percent.
1996 1995
---- ----
Net income
As reported............ $97,425 $76,209
Pro forma............... $97,030 $76,096
Net income per share
As reported............ $1.42 $1.11
Pro forma............... $1.41 $1.11
|
Pro forma net income reflects only options granted in 1996 and 1995. Therefore, the full impact of calculating compensation cost for stock options under Statement 123 is not reflected in the pro forma net income amounts presented above because compensation cost is reflected over the options' vesting period of five years and compensation cost for options granted prior to January 1, 1995, is not considered.
FIXED STOCK OPTIONS
Under the 1991 Equity and Performance Incentive Plan (1991 Plan), Common Shares are available for grant of options at a price not less than 85 percent of the fair market value of the Common Shares on the date of grant. The exercise price of options granted in 1996 and 1995 was equal to the market price at the grant date, and accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized. In general, options are exercisable in cumulative annual installments over five years, beginning one year from the date of grant. The number of Common Shares that may be issued or delivered pursuant to the 1991 Plan is 3,265,313, of which 2,365,052 shares were available for issuance at December 31, 1996. The 1991 Plan will expire on April 2, 2002.
The 1991 Plan replaced the Amended and Extended 1972 Stock Option Plan (1972 Plan), which expired by its terms on April 2, 1992. Awards already outstanding under the 1972 Plan are unaffected by the adoption of the 1991 Plan.
The following is a summary with respect to options outstanding at December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, and activity during the years ending on those dates:

RESTRICTED SHARE GRANTS
The 1991 Plan also provides for the issuance of restricted shares without cost to certain employee associates. Outstanding shares granted at December 31, 1996, totaled 147,263 restricted shares. The shares are subject to forfeiture under certain circumstances. Unearned compensation representing the fair market value of the shares at the date of grant will be charged to income over the three-to-five-year vesting period.
PERFORMANCE SHARE GRANTS
The 1991 Plan also provides for the issuance of Common Shares based on certain management objectives achieved within a specified performance period of at least one year as determined by the Board of Directors. The management objectives set in 1996 are based on a three-year performance period ending December 31, 1998. The management objectives for the period ended December 31, 1996, were set in April 1994. The objectives were exceeded and a payout was made in the form of a combination of cash and Common Shares in 1997.
The compensation cost that has been charged against income for its performance-based share grant plan was $13,534, $7,201 and $5,169 in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
In February 1989, the Board of Directors declared a dividend distribution of one right for each outstanding Common Share of the Registrant. Pursuant to the Rights Agreement covering the Shareholder Rights Plan, each right entitles the registered holder to purchase one one-hundredth of a share of Cumulative Redeemable Serial Preferred Shares, without par value, at a price of $130. The rights become exercisable 20 days after a person or group acquires 20 percent or more of the Registrant's shares. At that time, rights certificates would be issued and could be traded independently from the Registrant's shares. If the Registrant is involved in certain mergers or other business combination transactions at any time after the rights become exercisable, then the rights will be modified so as to entitle the holder to buy a number of an acquiring Registrant's shares having a market value of twice the exercise price of each right. In addition, if a holder of 20 percent or more acquires the Registrant by means of a reverse merger in which the Registrant and its shares survive, or engages in certain other self-dealing transactions with the Registrant, each right not owned by the acquirer will become exercisable for a number of Common Shares of the Registrant with a market value of two times the exercise price of the right. The rights are redeemable for $0.01 per right at any time before 20 percent or more of the Registrant's shares have been acquired, and will expire on February 10, 1999, unless redeemed earlier by the Registrant. As a result of the stock split effected on February 19, 1997, each Common Share is currently accompanied by one-fifth of a right.
NOTE 9: NET INCOME PER SHARE
The net income per share computations are based upon the weighted-average number of Common Shares outstanding during each year. The inclusion in the computation of incremental shares applicable to outstanding stock options and performance shares would have no material effect.
NOTE 10: PENSION PLANS AND
POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS
The Registrant has several pension plans covering substantially all employee associates. Plans covering salaried employee associates provide pension benefits that are based on the employee associate's compensation during the 10 years before retirement. The Registrant's funding policy for those plans is to contribute annually at an actuarially determined rate. Plans covering hourly employee associates and union members generally provide benefits of stated amounts for each year of service. The Registrant's funding policy for those plans is to make at least the minimum annual contributions required by applicable regulations.
In 1996, the Registrant exercised its option to change the measurement date on
which plan assets and obligations are determined from December 31 to September
30. The September 30 measurement date is intended to be used consistently from
year to year.
Approximately 90 percent of the plan assets at September 30, 1996, and December 31, 1995, respectively, were invested in listed stocks and investment grade bonds.
A summary of the components of net periodic pension costs follows:
1996 1995 1994
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assumptions used to measure the projected benefit obligation and the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets at September 30, 1996, December 31, 1995 and 1994 are as follows:
1996 1995 1994

Rate of increase in
compensation levels .... 5.00% 5.00% 5.50%
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
Minimum liabilities have been recorded in 1996, 1995 and 1994 for the plans whose total accumulated benefit obligation exceeded the fair value of the plan's assets.
The Registrant offers an employee associate 401(k) Savings Plan (Savings Plan) to encourage eligible employee associates to save on a regular basis by payroll deductions, and to provide them with an opportunity to become shareholders of the Registrant. Under the Savings Plan in 1996, the Registrant matched 80 percent of a participating employee associate's first 4 percent of contributions and 40 percent of a participating employee associate's second 4 percent of contributions.
The following table sets forth the funded status and amounts recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, for the Registrant's defined benefit pension plans:

In addition to providing pension benefits, the Registrant provides healthcare and life insurance benefits for certain retired employee associates. Eligible employee associates may be entitled to these benefits based upon years of service with the Registrant, age at retirement and collective bargaining agreements. Presently, the Registrant has made no commitments to increase these benefits for existing retirees or for employee associates who may become eligible for these benefits in the future. Currently there are no plan assets, and the Registrant funds the benefits as the claims are paid.
A summary of the components of net periodic postretirement (life and healthcare) benefit costs follows:
1996 1995 1994
=========================================================================
Interest cost...................... $1,806 $2,104 $1,925
Service cost ...................... 57 61 59
Amortization ...................... -- 207 93
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net periodic postretirement
benefit cost...................... $1,863 $2,372 $2,077
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
The effect of a one percentage point annual increase in the assumed healthcare cost trend rate would increase the service and interest cost components of the healthcare benefits from $1,645 to $1,787, an 8.6 percent increase.
Measurement of the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation at September 30, 1996, and December 31, 1995, was based on a discount rate of 7.25 percent in 1996 and 1995. The following table sets forth the components of the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation at December 31:
1996 1995
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Retirees $24,545 $24,857
Fully eligible active
plan participants............... 209 447
Other active plan participants...... 841 768
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Accumulated postretirement
benefit obligation.............. 25,595 26,072
Unrecognized net loss............... (778) (1,373)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Accrued postretirement
benefit obligation.............. $24,817 $24,699
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
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 projected at annual rates declining from 9.0 percent in 1996 to 4.5 percent through the year 2005 as well as the following years. The effect of a one percentage point annual increase in these assumed healthcare cost trend rates would increase the healthcare accumulated postretirement benefit obligation from $23,185 to $25,265, a 9.0 percent increase.
NOTE 11: LEASES
The Registrant's future minimum lease payments due under operating leases for real and personal property in effect at December 31, 1996, are as follows:

At December 31, 1996, the Registrant's international subsidiaries had deferred tax assets relating to net operating loss carryforwards of $1,441, that expire in years 1997 through 2003. For financial reporting purposes, a valuation allowance of $1,441 has been recognized to offset the deferred tax assets relating to the net operating loss carryforwards.
NOTE 13: COMMITMENTS AND
CONTINGENCIES
At December 31, 1996, the Registrant 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 Registrant's financial position or results of operations.
NOTE 14: SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Registrant operates predominantly in one industry segment, financial systems and equipment. This industry segment accounts for more than 90 percent of the consolidated revenues, operating profit and identifiable assets.
The Registrant had one customer, IBM, its partner in the InterBold joint venture, that accounted for $157,639 of the total net sales of $1,030,191 in 1996 and $101,363 of the total net sales of $863,409 in 1995.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT ON
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT SCHEDULE
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Diebold, Incorporated
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Diebold, Incorporated and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1996. In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we also have audited the financial statement schedule as listed in Item 14 (a)(1) of Form 10-K of Diebold, Incorporated for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1996. These consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Registrant's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Diebold, Incorporated and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

Mr. William T. Blair
Diebold, Incorporated
RE: CONFIRMATION OF PRE- AND POST-RETIREMENT AGREEMENTS
Dear Bill:
As your retirement draws near, it is prudent that we reduce to writing our various understandings concerning your status and willingness to act as a Consultant for Diebold, Incorporated thereafter.
First, I want to thank you for delaying your retirement until February 28, 1997. I know you wished to leave in 1995 in order to spend more time with your family. Your willingness to assist us in your transition has been deeply appreciated by all.
For delaying your retirement, we previously agreed to the following which is in addition to any other compensation and benefits for which you are otherwise eligible upon retirement:
1. An additional 18 months of service, at the time of your February 28, 1997 retirement, will be granted to you under the Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan. Your total number of additional months of service under the Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan will then be 35.
2. Your financial planning assistance from Investors Advisors International will be continued at the Company's expense through December 31, 1997.
3. Diebold will provide you with a golf membership at Glenmoor Country Club. The Brookside County Club membership stock certificate now in your name shall be permanently transferred to you upon your retirement and the payment of $6,000. You will pay for any costs, including income taxes, associated with these memberships.
Confirmation of Pre- and Post-Retirement Agreements
4. You will be given the company car presently assigned to you on an "as is" basis. The value of this vehicle will be treated as taxable income to you.
1. Your restricted stock, the restrictions on the balance of which will lapse later this month.
2. Stock options under the 1972 program which you must exercise within 180 days of retirement.
3. Stock options under the 1991 program which you must exercise within the balance of the applicable ten year grant term.
4. Payment for earnings, if any, under the 1996-1997-1998 Long Term Incentive Plan shall be pro-rated based on your completion of 14/36ths of the three year term. Payment under the 1995-1996-1997 Long Term Incentive Plan shall be handled per item III.3.b. below.
5. Your life insurance coverage under the Split Dollar Agreement dated as of May 24, 1995 will continue after your retirement.
6. Your eligibility for earnings, if any, under the Annual Incentive Plan for 1996.
1. Coordinating the transition of responsibilities for the North American Sales and Service Group to David Bucci to ensure the continued growth of NASS.
2. Providing executive consulting services in matters relating to the IBM/Diebold partnership.
3. Providing other consulting services as requested by me, my designee and/or other senior officers of Diebold, Incorporated.
For consulting services you will be compensated as follows:
a. You will be paid $1,500.00 per day, in addition to your
reasonable expenses.
Confirmation of Pre- and Post-Retirement Agreements
b. You will be given credit for all of 1997 in calculating your earnings, if any, under the 1995-1996-1997 Long Term Incentive Plan. If earned, this will be paid to you at the same time as other recipients and will be subject to withholding taxes.
c. You and your spouse will continue to be covered under the Diebold medical and dental plans through December 31, 1997 subject to your payment of the monthly premium contribution of $81.00. You have the right under COBRA to continued participation in these coverages for eighteen months beginning January 1, 1998, subject to a monthly premium.
Your consulting services shall be subject to my direction or that of my designee. Such services shall be to our reasonable satisfaction and shall be performed with your usual excellence.
As with other Consultants, you shall be an independent contractor and not an employee of Diebold, Incorporated. Likewise, you will be expected to maintain the confidentiality of all proprietary information of Diebold or those with whom it does business.
I trust this accurately describes our various understandings and undertakings. If so, please acknowledge your agreement by signing where designated below.
I want to thank you again for your valued service to Diebold over the years and in the future.
Sincerely,
DIEBOLD, INCORPORATED
Robert W. Mahoney
Chairman of the Board and
Chief Executive Officer
ACCEPTED BY:
EXHIBIT 10.13
DEFERRED COMPENSATION AGREEMENT
AGREEMENT dated as of ____________________ between Diebold, Incorporated, an Ohio corporation (the "Company"), and ______________________________ ("Executive").
The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 included a new provision,
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"), which generally
disallows a tax deduction to public companies for compensation over $1 million
paid to persons named in the Summary Compensation Table for proxy statement
purposes and employed by the Company at the end of the applicable year.
Executive and the Company desire to take action to ensure that the Company is not denied a tax deduction for any compensation paid to Executive owing to the limitation set forth in Section 162(m) of the Code.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the parties hereto have agreed, and do agree, as follows:
1. DEFERRAL OF COMPENSATION. If, but for the application of this Agreement, the
Company's deduction of a portion of the compensation due to Executive in a tax
year would, in the reasonable judgment of the Company, be disallowed pursuant to
Section 162(m) of the Code, then the Company shall defer payment of that portion
of the compensation due to Executive.
2. PERIOD OF DEFERRAL. Executive may specify in a writing substantially in the form hereto as Exhibit A (the "Election Agreement") whether the period of deferral for an amount deferred will be until (i) December 31 of the first succeeding tax year in which such amount, when added to all other compensation received or to be received by the Executive in such year, would not be non-deductible by the Company by reason of Section 162(m) of the Code, (ii) the date the Executive ceases to be an associate of the Company by reason of death, retirement or otherwise (or 90 days thereafter in the event the Executive ceases to be an associate on December 31 of a year) or (iii) a period of time following the date the Executive ceases to be an associate by reason of death, retirement or otherwise, as specified by the Executive in the Election Agreement. Executive also may specify in the Election Agreement whether the amount deferred shall be paid to the Executive in a lump sum or in a number of approximately equal quarterly installments (not to exceed 40). Executive shall complete and deliver an initial Election Agreement to the Secretary of the Company. This Election Agreement shall be effective for the ______ tax year and shall continue to be effective from year to year until revoked or modified by written notice to the Secretary of the Company. In order to be effective to revoke or modify
an election, a revocation or modification must be delivered prior to the beginning of the first year of service for which such compensation is payable.
3. INTEREST ON DEFERRED AMOUNTS. Compensation that an Executive elects to defer shall be treated as if it were set aside in an account ("Account") on the date the compensation would otherwise have been paid to the Executive. Such Account will be credited with interest computed quarterly (based on calendar quarters) as of the date of deferral in the Account during each quarter at such rate and in such manner as determined by the Board of Directors or its Compensation and Organization Committee. Unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors or its Compensation and Organization Committee, interest to be credited hereunder shall be credited at Moody's Seasoned Corporate Bond Index Rate plus three (3) percent on the last day of each calendar quarter. Interest for a calendar quarter shall be credited to the Account as of the first day of the following quarter.
4. DEATH OF AN EXECUTIVE. In the event of the death of an Executive, the amount of the Executive's Account shall be paid to the beneficiary ("Beneficiary") designated in a writing substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the "Beneficiary Designation"), in accordance with the Executive's Election Agreement. An Executive's Beneficiary Designation may be changed at any time prior to his death by the execution and delivery of a new Beneficiary Designation. The Beneficiary Designation on file with the Company that bears the latest date at the time of the Executive's death shall govern. In the absence of a Beneficiary Designation or the failure of any Beneficiary to survive the Executive, the amount of the Executive's Account shall be paid to the Executive's estate in a lump sum 90 days after the appointment of an executor or administrator. In the event of the death of the Beneficiary or Beneficiaries after the death of an Executive, the remaining amount of the Account shall be paid in a lump sum to the estate of the last Beneficiary to receive payments 90 days after the appointment of an executor or administrator.
5. ACCELERATION. Notwithstanding the provisions of the foregoing: (i) if a Change in Control (as defined in the 1992 Deferred Incentive Compensation Plan) occurs, the amount of the Executive's Account shall immediately be paid to the Executive in full; (ii) in the event of an unforeseeable emergency, as defined in section 1.457-2(h)(4) and (5) of the Income Tax Regulations, that is caused by an event beyond the control of the Executive or Beneficiary and that would result in severe financial hardship to the individual if acceleration were not permitted, the Company may in its sole discretion accelerate the payment to the Executive or Beneficiary of the amount of his Account, but only up to the amount necessary to meet the emergency.
6. NON-ALIENATION OF DEFERRED COMPENSATION. Except as permitted by this Agreement, no right or interest under this Agreement of the Executive or Beneficiary shall, without the written consent of the Company, be (i) assignable or transferable in any manner, (ii) subject to alienation, anticipation, sale, pledge, encumbrance, attachment, garnishment or other legal process or (iii) in any manner liable for or subject to the debts or liabilities of the Executive or Beneficiary.
7. INTEREST OF EXECUTIVE. The obligation of the Company under this Agreement to make payment of amounts reflected in an Account merely constitutes the unsecured promise of the Company to make payments from its general assets as provided herein, and neither Executive nor any Beneficiary shall have any interest in, or a lien or prior claim upon, any property of the Company. The Company may create a trust to hold funds, securities or other assets to be used in payment of its obligations under this Agreement, and may fund such trust; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any funds contained therein shall remain liable for the claims of the Company's general creditors.
8. GOVERNING LAW. The provisions of this Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, ______________________________ and the Company, by a duly authorized officer, have executed this Agreement as of the day and year first above written.

Any amounts deferred shall accrue interest as required under paragraph 3 of the Agreement. Notwithstanding paragraph 2 of the Agreement, in the event that the Company determines that it has deferred an amount in excess of the minimum amount necessary in order to avoid the loss of a tax deduction under Section 162(m) of the Code (the "Excess Amount"), the Company shall promptly return to the Executive the Excess Amount, along with any interest accrued on such amount."
