NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

(dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)

NOTE 1: CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Diebold, Incorporated and its subsidiaries (collectively, the Company) 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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP); 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 contained in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. In addition, some of the Company’s statements in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q may involve risks and uncertainties that could significantly impact expected future results. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.

RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income (ASU 2011-05), which eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income (OCI) as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. The amendments in this standard require that all non-owner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. Subsequently, in December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (ASU 2011-12), which indefinitely defers the requirement in ASU 2011-05 to present on the face of the financial statements reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from OCI to net income in the statement(s) where the components of net income and the components of OCI are presented. The Company has provided the required statements of comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs (ASU 2011-04). ASU 2011-04 amended Accounting Standards Codification 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, to converge the fair value measurement guidance in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs). ASU 2011-04 changes the wording used to describe many requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. Disclosure requirements have been expanded to include additional information about transfers between level 1 and level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and level 3 measurements regarding the sensitivity of fair value to changes in unobservable inputs and any interrelationships between those inputs. Additionally, ASU 2011-04 clarifies the FASB’s intent about the application of existing fair value measurements including: (a) the application of the highest and best use valuation premise concepts; (b) measuring the fair value of an instrument classified in a reporting entity's stockholders' equity; and (c) quantitative information required for fair value measurements categorized within level 3. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements; however, the Company provided additional disclosure as required by ASU 2011-04 in note 16.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11, Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, which requires certain additional disclosure requirements about financial instruments and derivatives instruments that are subject to netting arrangements. The new disclosures are required for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those periods. The adoption of this update will not have an impact on the financial statements of the Company.

In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment, which allows assessment of qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of indefinite-lived intangible assets are less than their carrying amount. If that assessment indicates no impairment, the quantitative impairment test is not required. The FASB issued similar guidance for testing goodwill for impairment in September 2011. The guidance is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this update is not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company.

NOTE 2: EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share includes the dilutive effect of potential common shares outstanding. Under the two-class method of computing earnings per share, non-vested share-based payment awards that contain rights to receive non-forfeitable dividends are considered participating securities. The Company’s participating securities include restricted stock units (RSUs), deferred shares and shares that were vested, but deferred by the employee. The Company calculated basic and diluted earnings per share under both the treasury stock method and the two-class method. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, there was no impact in the per share amounts calculated under the two methods. Accordingly, the treasury stock method is disclosed below.

The following represents amounts used in computing earnings per share and the effect on the weighted-average number of shares of dilutive potential common shares:

The Company’s share-based compensation payments to employees are recognized in the statement of income based on their grant-date fair values during the period in which the employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award. Share-based compensation is recognized as a component of selling and administrative expense. Total share-based compensation expense was $4,154 and $3,889 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $9,858 and $10,506 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Options outstanding and exercisable as of September 30, 2012 under the Company’s 1991 Equity and Performance Incentive Plan (as Amended and Restated as of April 13, 2009) and changes during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, were as follows:



	Number of Shares		Weighted- Average Exercise Price		Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term	Aggregate Intrinsic Value (1)
	(in thousands)		(per share)		(in years)

Options vested and expected to vest (2) at September 30, 2012	2,744		$	37.62	5	$	4,738

(1)

The aggregate intrinsic value (the difference between the closing price of the Company’s common shares on the last trading day of the third quarter of 2012 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of “in-the-money” options) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options on September 30, 2012. The amount of aggregate intrinsic value will change based on the fair market value of the Company’s common shares.


(2)	The options expected to vest are the result of applying the pre-vesting forfeiture rate assumption to total outstanding non-vested options.

NOTE 5: INCOME TAXES

The effective tax rate on continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was 30.2 percent compared to 20.8 percent for the same period of 2011. The 9.4 percentage point increase was mainly due to non-recurring discrete items, including adjustments from an IRS exam, which reduced the effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2011.

The effective tax rate on continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was 27.9 percent compared to 25.8 percent for the same period of 2011. The 2.1 percentage point increase was mainly due to various discrete items, including the IRS exam adjustments and state tax benefits, partially offset by operating losses in certain Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) jurisdictions for which no tax benefit was recognized, which reduced the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

NOTE 6: INVESTMENTS

The Company’s investments, primarily in Brazil, consist of certificates of deposit and U.S. dollar indexed bond funds, which are classified as available-for-sale and stated at fair value based upon quoted market prices and net asset values, respectively. Unrealized gains and losses are recorded in OCI. Realized gains and losses are recognized in investment income and are determined using the specific identification method. Realized gains (losses), net from the sale of securities were $1,728 and $(872) for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $3,236 and $(2,340) for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Proceeds from the sale of available-for-sale securities were $33,437 and $43,182 during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

NOTE 7: ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES

Trade Receivables The Company evaluates the collectability of trade receivables based on (1) a percentage of sales related to historical loss experience and current trends and (2) periodic adjustments for known events such as specific customer circumstances and changes in the aging of accounts receivable balances. After all efforts at collection have been unsuccessful, the account is deemed uncollectible and is written off.

Financing Receivables The Company evaluates the collectability of notes and finance lease receivables (collectively, financing receivables) on a customer-by-customer basis and evaluates specific customer circumstances, aging of invoices, credit risk changes and payment patterns and historical loss experience. When the collectability is determined to be at risk based on the above criteria, the Company records the allowance for credit losses, which represents the Company’s current exposure less estimated reimbursement from insurance claims. After all efforts at collection have been unsuccessful, the account is deemed uncollectible and is written off. The following table summarizes the Company’s allowance for credit losses and recorded investment in financing receivables for the nine months ended September 30, 2012:

The Company records interest income and any fees or costs related to financing receivables using the effective interest method over the term of the lease or loan. The Company reviews the aging of its financing receivables to determine past due and delinquent accounts. Credit quality is reviewed at inception and is re-evaluated as needed based on customer-specific circumstances. Receivable balances 60 days to 89 days past due are reviewed and may be placed on nonaccrual status based on customer-specific circumstances. Receivable balances are placed on nonaccrual status upon reaching greater than 89 days past due. Upon receipt of payment on nonaccrual financing receivables, interest income is recognized and accrual of interest is resumed once the account has been made current or the specific circumstances have been resolved.

As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the recorded investment in past-due finance lease receivables on nonaccrual status was $5,268 and $1,740, respectively. The recorded investment in finance lease receivables past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest was $0 and $114 as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The recorded investment in impaired notes receivable as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was $2,047 and $2,047, respectively, and was fully reserved.

or the estimated life of the assets. Fees to renew or extend the term of the Company’s intangible assets are expensed when incurred.

During the three months ended September 30, 2012, the Company acquired $15,744 of amortizable intangible assets (refer to note 18) with an estimated weighted-average amortization period of eight years.

Impairment of long-lived assets is recognized when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. If the expected future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset group, an impairment loss may be recognized at that time to reduce the asset to the lower of its fair value or its net book value. The Company recorded $2,962 of software intangible asset impairment charges within Diebold North America (DNA) continuing operations in the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Investment in Affiliate Investment in the Company’s non-consolidated affiliate was accounted for under the equity method and consists of a 50 percent ownership in Shanghai Diebold King Safe Company, Ltd. The balance of this investment as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was $3,000 and $11,461, respectively. Equity earnings from the non-consolidated affiliate was included in miscellaneous, net in the condensed consolidated statements of income and was $110 and $589 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $702 and $1,448 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The non-consolidated affiliate paid dividends of $1,233 for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012. During the quarter ended September 30, 2012, the Company determined the investment was partially impaired and recorded an impairment charge of $7,930, which was allocated to DNA and Diebold International (DI) continuing operations. The Company determined the fair value of its investment using level three inputs (refer to note 16) such as price trends, material costs, discount rate, customer demand, and the long term growth rate. Additionally, the Company suspended the equity method of accounting for the investment during the quarter ended September 30, 2012.

NOTE 10: DEBT

Outstanding debt balances were as follows:



	September 30, 2012		December 31, 2011
Notes payable:
Uncommitted lines of credit	$	74,784	$	21,572
Other	216		150

Industrial development revenue bonds	11,900		11,900
Other	2,963		3,254
	$	647,863	$	606,154

As of September 30, 2012, the Company had various international short-term uncommitted lines of credit with borrowing limits of $106,319. The weighted-average interest rate on outstanding borrowings on the short-term uncommitted lines of credit as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was 2.41 percent and 4.23 percent, respectively. The decline in the weighted-average interest rate is attributable to the change in mix of borrowings in foreign entities. Short-term uncommitted lines mature in less than one year. The amount available under the short-term uncommitted lines at September 30, 2012 was $31,535.

In June 2011, the Company entered into a five-year credit facility, which replaced its previous credit facility. As of September 30, 2012, the Company had borrowing limits under the credit facility totaling $500,000. Under the terms of the credit facility agreement, the Company has the ability, subject to various approvals, to increase the borrowing limits by $250,000. Up to $50,000 of the revolving credit facility is available under a swing line sub-facility. The weighted-average interest rate on outstanding credit facility borrowings as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was 1.33 percent and 1.49 percent, respectively, which is variable based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). The amount available under the credit facility as of September 30, 2012 was $167,000.

risk on $200,000 of the senior notes, which was treated as a cash flow hedge. This reduced the effective interest rate from 5.50 percent to 5.36 percent. As of September 30, 2012, although due within twelve months, $75,000 of the senior notes remain classified as long-term debt because of the Company's intent and ability to fund the repayment using amounts available under its credit facility, unless an alternative source of financing with more favorable terms is available upon maturity.

In 1997, industrial development revenue bonds were issued on behalf of the Company. The proceeds from the bond issuances were used to construct new manufacturing facilities in the United States. The Company guaranteed the payments of principal and interest on the bonds by obtaining letters of credit. The bonds were issued with a 20-year original term and are scheduled to mature in 2017. Each industrial development revenue bond carries a variable interest rate, which is reset weekly by the remarketing agents. The weighted-average interest rate on the bonds was 0.75 percent and 0.77 percent as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

The Company’s debt agreements contain various restrictive financial covenants, including net debt to capitalization and net interest coverage ratios. As of September 30, 2012, the Company was in compliance with the financial and other covenants in its debt agreements.

NOTE 11: BENEFIT PLANS

The Company has pension plans covering certain U.S. employees that have been closed to new participants since July 1, 2003. Plans that cover certain salaried employees provide pension benefits based on the employee’s compensation during the ten years before retirement. The Company’s funding policy for salaried plans is to contribute annually based on actuarial projections and applicable regulations. Plans covering certain hourly employees and union members generally provide benefits of stated amounts for each year of service. The Company’s funding policy for hourly 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 U.S. participate to varying degrees in local pension plans, which in the aggregate are not significant.

In addition to providing pension benefits, the Company provides healthcare and life insurance benefits (referred to as other 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, the Company has made no commitments to increase these benefits for existing retirees or for employees who may become eligible for these benefits in the future. There are no plan assets and the Company funds the benefits as the claims are paid.

The following table sets forth the net periodic benefit cost for the Company’s defined benefit pension plans and other benefits for the three months ended September 30:

NOTE 12: GUARANTEES AND PRODUCT WARRANTIES

In 1997, industrial development revenue bonds were issued on behalf of the Company. The Company guaranteed the payments of principal and interest on the bonds (refer to note 10) by obtaining letters of credit. The carrying value of the bonds was $11,900 as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

The Company provides its global operations guarantees and standby letters of credit through various financial institutions to suppliers, customers, regulatory agencies and insurance providers. If the Company is not able to make payment or fulfill contractual obligations, the suppliers, customers, regulatory agencies and insurance providers may draw on the pertinent bank. At September 30, 2012, the maximum future payment obligations related to these various guarantees totaled $71,302, of which $23,435 represented standby letters of credit to insurance providers, and no associated liability was recorded. At December 31, 2011, the maximum future payment obligations relative to these various guarantees totaled $71,321, of which $22,623 represented standby letters of credit to insurance providers, and no associated liability was recorded.

The Company provides its customers a 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:

NOTE 13: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

At September 30, 2012, 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 are 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 these legal proceedings, commitments or asserted claims. In addition to these routine legal proceedings, the Company was a party to a securities action, which is described in note 15 of the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, as well as the legal proceedings described below.

Brazilian Federal Tax Assessment

In August 2012, one of the Company's Brazilian subsidiaries was notified of a tax assessment of approximately $133,000, including penalties and interest, regarding certain Brazilian federal indirect taxes (Industrialized Products Tax, Import Tax, Programa de Integração Social and Contribution to Social Security Financing) for 2008 and 2009. The assessment alleges improper importation of certain components into the country's free trade zone that would nullify certain indirect tax incentives. On September 10, 2012, the Company filed its administrative defenses with the tax authorities. This proceeding is currently pending an administrative level decision, which could negatively impact Brazilian federal indirect taxes in other years that remain open under statute. The Company has not recorded an accrual for this assessment, based in part on the determination that it has a valid tax position and it is more likely than not to prevail in the proceedings relating to this assessment. At this time, the Company cannot estimate any possible loss or range of loss; however, it is reasonably possible that the Company could be required to pay taxes, penalties and interest related to this matter, which could be material to the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Global Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) Review

During the second quarter of 2010, while conducting due diligence in connection with a potential acquisition in Russia, the Company identified certain transactions and payments by its subsidiary in Russia (primarily during 2005 to 2008) that potentially implicate the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), particularly the books and records provisions of the FCPA. As a result, the Company conducted a global internal review and collected information related to its global FCPA compliance. In the fourth quarter of 2010, the Company identified certain transactions within its Asia Pacific operation that occurred over the past several years that may also potentially implicate the FCPA. The Company continues to monitor its ongoing compliance with the FCPA.

The Company has voluntarily self-reported its findings to the SEC and the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and is cooperating with these agencies in their review. The Company was previously informed that the SEC's inquiry had been converted to a formal, non-public investigation. The Company also received a subpoena for documents from the SEC and a voluntary request for documents from the DOJ in connection with the investigation. As of September 30, 2012, the Company's accrued estimated loss related to the potential outcome of this matter is not considered material to the condensed consolidated financial statements. Because the SEC and DOJ investigations are ongoing, there can be no assurance that their review will not find evidence of additional transactions that potentially implicate the FCPA. The Company is continuing its discussions with the government toward a resolution to this matter. At this time, the Company cannot predict the results of the government investigations, and it is reasonably possible that the resolution of these matters with the SEC and the DOJ could result in changes in management's estimates of losses, which could be material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 14: DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

The Company uses derivatives to mitigate the economic consequences associated with fluctuations in currencies and interest rates.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE

Net Investment Hedges The Company has international subsidiaries with net balance sheet positions that generate cumulative translation adjustments within OCI. The Company uses derivatives to manage potential changes in value of its net investments in Brazil. The Company uses the forward-to-forward method for its quarterly retrospective and prospective assessments of hedge effectiveness. No ineffectiveness results if the notional amount of the derivative matches the portion of the net investment designated as being hedged because the Company uses derivative instruments with underlying exchange rates consistent with its functional currency and the functional currency of the hedged net investment. Changes in value that are deemed effective are accumulated in OCI where they will remain until they are reclassified to income together with the gain or loss on the entire investment upon substantial liquidation of the subsidiary. The fair value of the Company’s net investment hedge contracts was $(433) and $1,768 as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The net (loss) gain recognized in OCI on net investment hedge derivative instruments was $(463) and $1,805 in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively. The gain recognized in OCI on net investment hedge derivative instruments was $1,780 and $1,780 in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively.

Non-Designated Hedges A substantial portion of the Company’s operations and revenues are international. As a result, changes in foreign exchange rates can create substantial foreign exchange gains and losses from the revaluation of non-functional currency monetary assets and liabilities. The Company’s policy allows the use of foreign exchange forward contracts with maturities of up

to 24 months to mitigate the impact of currency fluctuations on those foreign currency asset and liability balances. The Company elected not to apply hedge accounting to its foreign exchange forward contracts. Thus, spot-based gains/losses offset revaluation gains/losses within foreign exchange loss, net and forward-based gains/losses represent interest expense. The fair value of the Company’s non-designated foreign exchange forward contracts was $(659) and $(1,558) as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

The following table summarizes the (loss) gain recognized on non-designated foreign-exchange derivative instruments:

INTEREST RATE

Cash Flow Hedges The Company has variable rate debt and is subject to fluctuations in interest related cash flows due to changes in market interest rates. The Company’s policy allows derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges that fix a portion of future variable-rate interest expense. As of September 30, 2012, the Company has two pay-fixed receive-variable interest rate swaps, with a total notional amount of $50,000, to hedge against changes in the LIBOR benchmark interest rate on a portion of the Company’s LIBOR-based borrowings. Changes in value that are deemed effective are accumulated in OCI and reclassified to interest expense when the hedged interest is accrued. To the extent that it becomes probable that the Company’s variable rate borrowings will not occur, the gains or losses on the related cash flow hedges will be reclassified from OCI to interest expense.

In December 2005 and January 2006, the Company executed cash flow hedges by entering into receive-variable and pay-fixed interest rate swaps, with a total notional amount of $200,000, related to the senior notes issuance in March 2006. Amounts previously recorded in OCI related to the pre-issuance cash flow hedges will continue to be reclassified on a straight-line basis through February 2016.

The fair value of the Company’s interest rate contracts was $(3,870) and $(3,796) as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

Gains and losses related to interest rate contracts that are reclassified from accumulated OCI are recorded in interest expense on the statement of income. The Company anticipates reclassifying $920 from OCI to interest expense within the next 12 months.

NOTE 16: FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities using one or more of the following three valuation techniques:

Market approach – Prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.

Cost approach – Amount that would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost).

Income approach – Techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount based upon market expectations.

The hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value is divided into three levels:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active or inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data.

A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

The Company uses the end of period when determining the timing of transfers between levels. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, there were no transfers between levels.

Short-Term Investments The Company has investments in certificates of deposit that are recorded at cost, which approximates fair value. Additionally, the Company has investments in U.S. dollar indexed bond funds that are classified as available-for-sale and stated at fair value. U.S. dollar indexed bond funds are reported at net asset value, which is the practical expedient for fair value as determined by banks where funds are held.

Assets Held in a Rabbi Trust / Deferred Compensation The fair value of the assets held in a rabbi trust is derived from investments in a mix of money market, fixed income and equity funds managed by Vanguard. The related deferred compensation liability is recorded at fair value.

Foreign Exchange Forward Contracts A substantial portion of the Company’s operations and revenues are international. As a result, changes in foreign exchange rates can create substantial foreign exchange gains and losses from the revaluation of non-functional currency monetary assets and liabilities. The foreign exchange contracts are valued using the market approach based on observable market transactions of forward rates.

Interest Rate Swaps The Company has variable rate debt and is subject to fluctuations in interest-related cash flows due to changes in market interest rates. The Company’s policy is to periodically enter into derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges to fix some portion of future variable rate-based interest expense. The Company has a pay-fixed receive-variable interest rate swap to hedge against changes in the LIBOR benchmark interest rate on a portion of the Company’s LIBOR-based borrowings. The fair value of the swap is determined using the income approach and is calculated based on LIBOR rates at the reporting date.

Total debt instruments	$	736,805	$	722,863	$	634,273	$	627,876

The fair value of the Company’s industrial development revenue bonds are measured using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets categorized as level 1 inputs. The fair value of the Company’s current notes payable and credit facility debt instruments approximates the carrying value due to the relative short maturity of the revolving borrowings under these instruments. The fair values of the Company’s long-term senior notes were estimated using market observable inputs for the Company’s comparable peers with public debt, including quoted prices in active markets, market indices and interest rate measurements, considered level 2 inputs.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

Management’s discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes that appear elsewhere in this quarterly report.

Introduction

Diebold, Incorporated (collectively, with its subsidiaries, the Company) is a global leader in providing integrated self-service delivery and security systems and services primarily to the financial, commercial, government, and retail markets. Founded in 1859, the Company today has approximately 17,000 employees with representation in nearly 90 countries worldwide. In 2011, the Company accelerated its transformation into a world-class, software-led services provider aligned with the security, convenience and efficiency needs of its customers. Three essential pillars provide the Company a clear path toward reaching this future:


•	A strategy that leverages its leadership in software-led services, attuned with the needs of the Company's core global markets for financial self-service (FSS) and security solutions.


•	The financial capacity to implement that strategy and fund the investments necessary to drive growth, while preserving the ability to return value to shareholders in the form of reliable, growing dividends and, as appropriate, share repurchases.


•	A disciplined risk assessment process, focused on proactively identifying and mitigating potential risks to the Company's continued success.

The strategy to leverage the Company's capabilities in services, software and innovation is beginning to pay dividends and is meeting the needs of the Company's rapidly evolving markets. The Company believes this positions it for continued momentum in 2012 using its software-led services strategy and leading edge technology.

During the third quarter of 2012, the Company once again had strong performance in North America as deposit automation and integrated services continued to grow. In addition, the Company achieved solid top-line growth within its security business during the quarter. Given the strong start to the year and the continued underlying strength in its markets, the Company has increased confidence in its ability to generate top-line growth as it continues to build software-led services capabilities.

Income from continuing operations attributable to Diebold, Incorporated, net of tax, for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was $17,434 or $0.27 per share, a decrease of $24,321 and $0.38 per share, respectively, from the same period in 2011. Total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was $709,919, an increase of $597 compared to the same period in 2011.

Income from continuing operation attributable to Diebold, Incorporated, net of tax, for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $89,099 or $1.39 per share, an increase of $24,557 and $0.40 per share, respectively, from the same period in 2011. Total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $2,151,598 an increase of $165,737 compared to the same period in 2011.

Vision and strategy

The Company’s vision is to be recognized as the essential partner in creating and implementing ideas that optimize convenience, efficiency and security. This vision is the guiding principle behind the transformation to becoming a more software-led services company. Services comprise more than 50 percent of revenue. This percentage is expected to continue to grow over time as the Company continues to build on its strong base of maintenance and advanced services to deliver world-class integrated services.

Several years ago, the Company launched its Diebold Integrated Services® outsourcing business in North America. Initially the scale was small, generating about $5,000 in contract value in year one. In the ensuing years, the Company has achieved substantial growth in this business. During 2011, new integrated services contracts were signed exceeding $500,000 in total contract value compared with $150,000 in 2010. For 2012, new integrated services contracts signed reached nearly $243,000, an increase of over 11 percent from the same period of 2011. Also in the third quarter of 2012, the Company continued its commitment to enhance and strengthen its Integrated Services outsourcing model by announcing the addition of two data centers located in Verizon's Terremark facilities in Richardson, Texas and Manassas, Virginia. The integrated fabric of advanced data center capabilities combined with Verizon's reach, reliability and global scale will increase performance and disaster recovery capabilities for the Company's customers with optimal geographic diversity and business resiliency.

In addition to service and integrated services, another demand driver in the global ATM marketplace continues to be deposit

automation, or the process of depositing a cash or check into an ATM without the use of an envelope. Among the largest U.S. national banks there has been extensive deployment of deposit automation-enabled terminals, and the Company saw continued demand from this space during the third quarter of 2012. However, only approximately 25 percent of bank ATMs globally are currently configured for automated deposits, representing further opportunities for Diebold as banks continue to upgrade their ATM fleets with deposit automation capabilities.

In its security business, the Company has an equal, if not greater, potential for a successful integrated services approach. Security challenges and the systems to address them have grown increasingly complex. This environment has created a greater appetite among financial institutions and other customers for outsourcing solutions, particularly in the areas of monitoring, services and software. Today, the Company is bringing its expertise back into the financial sector with a focused effort on bank branch and large, complex and technologically demanding projects. The Company has created new customer-focused teams that possess the high levels of specialized expertise in logical and enterprise security required in this business. The Company is leveraging best practices, and some of its best talent, from its FSS integrated services business to build the foundation for a new security outsourcing business. During the third quarter of 2012, the Company announced the expansion of its security relationships with two of the largest banks in the United States, KeyBank and Regions Financial Corporation. As KeyBank's strategic partner for electronic security solutions, the Company announced the installation of numerous access control, intrusion detection, alarm, surveillance and security solutions for KeyBank in just the past year. In regards to Regions Financial Corporation, the Company now staffs the bank's in-house central station located in Birmingham, Alabama and monitors alarm video and other systems for the bank's entire enterprise, including more than 2,400 sites.

Moving forward, the Company intends to create shareholder value by leveraging its growing advantage in software and services capabilities, taking advantage of key market opportunities around the world and further leveraging opportunities in the security business. In addition, the Company made a strategic acquisition during the quarter, GAS Tecnologia (GAS), a leading Internet banking, online payment and mobile banking security company in Brazil. Many additional opportunities lie ahead, and the Company will continue to invest in developing new software, services and security solutions, particularly in emerging markets.

Cost savings initiatives, restructuring, impairment and other charges

Over the past several years, the Company’s SmartBusiness (SB) initiatives have led to rationalization of product development, streamlined procurement, realignment of the Company’s manufacturing footprint and improved logistics. Building on that success, the Company's SB 300 initiatives in 2011 shifted the focus from reducing cost of sales to lowering operating expenses and are targeted to achieve an additional $100,000 in efficiencies by the end of 2013.

The Company is committed to making the strategic decisions that not only streamline operations, but also enhance its ability to serve its customers. The Company remains confident in its ability to continue to execute on cost-reduction initiatives, deliver solutions that help improve customers’ businesses and create shareholder value. The Company incurred pre-tax net restructuring charges of $2,462 and $1,437 during the three months ended September 30, 2012 and and 2011, respectively, and $4,902 and $17,723 during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Restructuring charges in 2012 and 2011 primarily related to the Company's global realignment plan, global shared services plan and Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) reorganization plan. The global realignment plan, which began in the third quarter 2012, includes realignment of resources and certain international facilities to better support opportunities in target markets and leverage software-led services technology to support customers in efforts to optimize overall operational performance. The global shared services plan entails expanding the Company's current information technology (IT) center in India to create a global shared services center that provides centralized IT and financial services for the Company. Expanding the shared services center requires transferring global back-office work that resides in other geographies to the global shared services center. Net restructuring charges in the third quarter 2012 included $(2,840) of restructuring accrual benefits related to the Company's EMEA reorganization.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $14,631 related to an other than temporary impairment of an equity method investment and the impairment of a portion of its global enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. Previously capitalized software and software-related costs were impaired due to changes in the ERP implementation plan related to configuration and design. In the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company recorded $2,962 of software intangible asset impairment charges.

Other charges consist of items that the Company determines are non-routine in nature. Net non-routine expenses of $1,913 and $13,064 impacted the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Net non-routine expenses for 2012 and 2011 consisted primarily of legal and compliance costs related to the global Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) investigation.

Third Quarter 2012 Comparisons to Third Quarter 2011

Net Sales

The following table represents information regarding our net sales for the three months ended September 30:



	2012		2011		$ Change		% Change
Net sales	$	709,919	$	709,322	$	597	0.1

FSS sales in the third quarter of 2012 improved $6,917 or 1.3 percent compared to the same period of 2011. The increase in FSS sales included a net unfavorable currency impact of $29,287 or 6.0 percent, of which approximately 54 percent related to the Brazilian real. The following division highlights include the impact of foreign currency. Diebold North America (DNA) sales increased $21,562 or 9.1 percent due to growth within the U.S. regional and national bank business. Diebold International (DI) sales decreased by $14,646 or 5.1 percent related to the following: Latin America, including Brazil, decreased $10,498 or 8.8 percent, EMEA decreased $2,968 or 4.1 percent, and Asia Pacific decreased $1,179 or 1.3 percent. The decrease in Latin America, including Brazil, was driven by the negative currency impact in Brazil, partially offset by improvement in Mexico and Venezuela. The decrease in EMEA was led by the unfavorable currency impact, particularly the euro and rand, coupled with higher volume in South Africa compared to the same period of the prior year. The Asia Pacific variance was driven by unfavorable currency, mostly the rupee, as well as lower volume across a mix of geographies, partially offset with higher volume in China.

(dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)

Security solutions sales in the third quarter of 2012 increased by $11,079 or 7.7 percent compared to the same period of 2011. The increase was driven by an improvement in DNA of $9,772 or 7.7 percent combined with growth in DI of $1,308 or 7.6 percent. The DNA variance was driven by higher product volumes and associated services across all industries, especially non-financial, compared to the same period of the prior year. The improvement in DI was influenced by higher volume in Latin America, particularly in Colombia.

The Brazilian-based election and lottery systems sales decreased by $17,399 in the third quarter of 2012 compared to the same period of 2011. The variance was driven by a $21,270 decrease in election sales due to lower volume, partially offset with a $3,871 increase in lottery unit sales compared to the third quarter of 2011.

Gross Profit

The following table represents information regarding our gross profit for the three months ended September 30:



	2012			2011			$ Change			% Change
Gross profit – services	$	100,518		$	111,428		$	(10,910	)	(9.8	)
Gross profit – products	72,692			82,958			(10,266		)	(12.4	)

Gross margin – services	25.0		%	28.6		%
Gross margin – products	23.6		%	25.9		%
Total gross margin	24.4		%	27.4		%

The decrease in service gross margin was influenced by DNA and Latin America, including Brazil. The decrease in DNA was driven by a decline in the U.S. service volume coupled with higher employee expenses, an increase in scrap expense, and fewer fleet rebates, partially offset with growth in software-led services. The decrease in Latin America, including Brazil was driven by customer mix as well as higher restructuring charges. Total service gross margin for the third quarter of 2012 included $956 of net restructuring charges compared to $1,331 of net restructuring accrual benefits related to the EMEA reorganization in the same period of 2011.

The decrease in product gross margin was driven primarily by DI as volume was down in Latin America, including Brazil paired with customer and product mix differences. In addition, product gross margin in DNA was down compared to the prior year influenced by the customer mix within the regional and national bank business. Total product gross margin for the third quarter of 2012 included $2,064 of net restructuring accrual benefits related to the EMEA reorganization compared to $630 of net restructuring charges in the same period of 2011.

Operating Expenses

The following table represents information regarding our operating expenses for the three months ended September 30:



	2012		2011		$ Change			% Change
Selling and administrative expense	$	120,455	$	121,508	$	(1,053	)	(0.9	)
Research, development and engineering expense	22,167		18,466		3,701			20.0
Impairment of assets	7,930		—		7,930			N/M
Total operating expenses	$	150,552	$	139,974	$	10,578		7.6

Selling and administrative expense decreased $1,053 or 0.9 percent in the third quarter of 2012 compared to the same period of 2011. The improvement was due to $5,078 of favorable currency impact and lower non-routine expenses, partially offset by higher compensation and benefits and net restructuring charges. Selling and administrative expense in the third quarter of 2012 and 2011 included non-routine expenses of $646 and $2,584, respectively, of which the majority pertained to legal, consultative, and audit costs related to the global FCPA investigation. In addition, selling and administrative expense included $2,454 and $2,131 of restructuring charges in the third quarter of 2012 and 2011, respectively. The majority of the 2012 restructuring charges related to the Company's global realignment plan. The 2011 restructuring charges related mainly to the EMEA reorganization.

Research, development and engineering expense as a percent of net sales in the third quarter of 2012 and 2011 were 3.1 percent and 2.6 percent, respectively. The increase as a percent of net sales was associated with higher operational spend for the development of next generation hardware and software platforms. Research, development and engineering expense also included higher restructuring charges associated with the Company's global realignment plan.

During the third quarter of 2012, the Company recorded an impairment of $7,930 related to its 50 percent ownership in Shanghai Diebold King Safe Company, Ltd.

Operating Profit

The following table represents information regarding our operating profit for the three months ended September 30:



	2012			2011			$ Change			% Change
Operating profit	$	22,658		$	54,412		$	(31,754	)	(58.4	)
Operating profit margin	3.2		%	7.7		%

The decrease in operating profit in the third quarter of 2012 compared to the same period of 2011 was influenced largely by the lower service and product margins driven by the mix of services and products across geographies. In addition, the increase in operating expenses, particularly the impairment charge, contributed to the lower operating margin between periods. All of these items combined to produce a 4.5 percent decrease in operating profit margin in the third quarter of 2012 compared to the same period of 2011.

Income from Continuing Operations

The following table represents information regarding our income from continuing operations for the three months ended September 30:



	2012			2011			$ Change			% Change
Income from continuing operations	$	18,064		$	42,782		$	(24,718	)	(57.8	)
Percent of net sales	2.5		%	6.0		%
Effective tax rate	30.2		%	20.8		%

The decrease in net income from continuing operations in the third quarter of 2012 compared to the same period of 2011 was influenced by a lower operating margin, partially offset with improvement in other income. As noted above, the lower operating margin was driven by the geographic mix of services and products, the lower service and product margins, and the increase in operating expenses. The 9.4 percentage point increase is due to non-recurring discrete items, including adjustments from an IRS exam, which reduced the effective tax rate in the third quarter of 2011.

Segment Analysis and Operating Profit Summary

The following table represents information regarding our revenue by reporting segment for the three months ended September 30:



	2012		2011		$ Change			% Change
DNA	$	395,477	$	364,144	$	31,333		8.6
DI	314,442		345,178		(30,736		)	(8.9	)
Total net sales	$	709,919	$	709,322	$	597		0.1

The increase in DNA net sales was driven by continued growth in the FSS business, particularly related to higher product volume in both the U.S. regional and national bank business. The increase in product volume also influenced growth in service installations and software-led services related to these orders. In addition, security product volume and associated services improved across all industries, especially non-financial, compared to the prior year.

The decrease in DI net sales was influenced by a net unfavorable currency impact of $36,753, of which approximately 63 percent related to the Brazilian real. Operationally, DI realized higher FSS volumes in all of the divisions, an increase in lottery sales from Brazil, and growth in security sales within Latin America. These increases were partially offset with lower election system sales in Brazil.

Total operating profit	$	22,658		$	54,412	$	(31,754	)	(58.4	)

DNA operating profit for the third quarter of 2012 decreased by $19,758 compared to the same period of 2011. The decrease was driven by a decline in the U.S. service volume compared to the prior-year period coupled with higher employee expenses, an increase in scrap expense, and fewer fleet rebates. In addition, operating expense was unfavorable related to increases in impairment charges, research, development and engineering expense, compensation and benefits costs, and net restructuring charges. These decreases were partially offset with higher volume in the U.S. regional bank business and improvement from software-led services.

DI operating profit for the third quarter of 2012 decreased by $11,996 compared to the same period of 2011. The decrease was influenced primarily by the fewer election system sales in Brazil combined with customer mix differences in Latin America, including Brazil compared to the prior-year period. Partially offsetting the decreases, an improvement in operating expenses was realized across a mix of geographies, inclusive of higher impairment charges.

	2012		2011		$ Change		% Change
Net sales	$	2,151,598	$	1,985,861	$	165,737	8.3

FSS sales in the first nine months of 2012 improved $184,100 or 12.3 percent compared to the same period of 2011. The increase in FSS sales included a net unfavorable currency impact of $72,015 or 5.7 percent, of which approximately 50 percent related to the Brazilian real. The following division highlights include the impact of foreign currency. DNA sales increased $193,702 or 31.3 percent as a result of significant growth within the U.S. regional and national bank business influenced by the Americans with Disabilities Act compliance and a focus on deposit automation technology. With the expiration of the Americans with Disabilities Act compliance deadline, the rate of growth in regional sales has slowed and led to a higher concentration of national bank sales. DI sales decreased by $9,602 or 1.1 percent related to the following: EMEA decreased $28,799 or 11.6 percent, Asia Pacific increased $9,816 or 3.7 percent, and Latin America, including Brazil, increased $9,381 or 2.6 percent. The decrease in EMEA was driven by an unfavorable currency impact, particularly the euro and rand, combined with lower volume in the Middle East, partially offset with growth in South Africa compared to the prior-year period. The improvement in Asia Pacific was driven by higher volume in China coupled with an unfavorable currency impact associated mostly with the rupee. The increase in Latin America, including Brazil, was influenced by higher volume across most of the geographies despite the currency headwinds related to the Brazilian real.

Security solutions sales in the first nine months of 2012 decreased by $1,384 or 0.3 percent compared to the same period of 2011. DNA decreased $7,507 or 1.9 percent compared to the same period of the prior year, partially offset by improvement in DI of $6,124 or 13.7 percent. The DNA variance was driven by lower product volumes and associated services, particularly in the financial industry, compared to the same period of the prior year. The DI variance was a result of higher volume in Latin America, mostly in Colombia, combined with an increase in Asia Pacific related to growth in India that was partially offset by lower volume in Australia.

The Brazilian-based election and lottery systems sales decreased by $16,979 in the first nine months of 2012 compared to the same period of 2011. The decrease was driven by an $11,433 decrease in election sales due to lower volume paired with a $5,546 decrease in lottery unit sales compared to the first nine months of 2011.

Gross Profit

The following table represents information regarding our gross profit for the nine months ended September 30:



	2012			2011			$ Change		% Change
Gross profit – services	$	314,804		$	300,740		$	14,064	4.7
Gross profit – products	237,215			212,540			24,675		11.6

Gross margin – services	26.3		%	26.3		%
Gross margin – products	24.8		%	25.2		%
Total gross margin	25.7		%	25.8		%

The service gross margin remained flat compared to the prior-year period. In DNA, service margin was down slightly compared to the prior year due to the mix of services. In EMEA, service margin improved as fewer net restructuring charges were incurred in the first nine months of 2012 compared to the same period of 2011 related to the EMEA reorganization. Total service gross margin for the first nine months of 2012 included $91 of net restructuring charges compared to $7,298 of net restructuring charges in the same period of 2011.

The decrease in product gross margin was driven by DI associated with product and customer mix differences in Latin America, including Brazil, as well as continued pricing pressure in the Asia Pacific region. Partially offsetting these decreases, the DNA product gross margin improved as the FSS business continued to benefit from the higher volume, particularly in the U.S. regional bank business. Total product gross margin for the first nine months of 2012 included $1,959 of net restructuring accrual benefits related to the EMEA reorganization compared to $1,004 of net restructuring charges in the same period of 2011.

Operating Expenses

The following table represents information regarding our operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30:

Selling and administrative expense decreased $5,617 or 1.5 percent in the first nine months of 2012 compared to the same period of 2011. The improvement was due to a favorable currency impact of $11,724, lower non-routine expenses, and lower restructuring charges, partially offset by higher compensation and benefits. Selling and administrative expense in the first nine months of 2012 and 2011 included non-routine expenses of $1,913 and $13,064, respectively, of which the majority pertained to legal, consultative, and audit costs related to the global FCPA investigation. In addition, selling and administrative expense included $5,654 and $9,402 of restructuring charges in the first nine months of 2012 and 2011, respectively. The 2012 restructuring charges related to the Company's global realignment and global shared services plans. The 2011 restructuring charges related mainly to the EMEA reorganization.

Research, development and engineering expense as a percent of net sales in the first nine months of 2012 and 2011 were 2.8 percent and 2.9 percent, respectively but increased $3,875 year over year. The increase in operational spend is associated with the development of next generation hardware and software platforms. Research, development and engineering expense also included higher restructuring charges associated with the Company's global realignment plan.

During the second quarter of 2012, the Company impaired previously capitalized software and software-related costs of $6,701 due to changes in the global ERP system implementation plan related to configuration and design. In the third quarter of 2012, the Company recorded an impairment of $7,930 related to its 50 percent ownership in Shanghai Diebold King Safe Company, Ltd. The impairment charge of $2,962 in the first nine months of 2011 resulted from a non-cash intangible asset impairment related to a prior acquisition.

and software-led services related to these orders. Partially offsetting these increases was a reduction in security product volume in the U.S. national bank business.

The decrease in DI net sales was influenced by a net unfavorable currency impact of $80,284, of which approximately 55 percent related to the Brazilian real. Operationally, DI realized higher FSS product and service volumes in Latin America, including Brazil, and Asia Pacific coupled with an increase in security sales within Latin America, particularly Colombia. These increases were partially offset with lower product and service volumes in EMEA, as well as fewer election systems and lottery sales in Brazil.

The following table represents information regarding our operating profit (loss) by reporting segment for the nine months ended September 30:

DNA operating profit for the first nine months of 2012 increased by $32,219 compared to the same period of 2011. The increase was driven primarily by higher FSS product volume in the U.S. regional bank business and improvement in software-led services related to higher volume and better resource leverage. These increases were partially offset with an increase in operating expense related mostly to higher compensation and benefit costs, impairment charges, and research, development and engineering expense.

DI operating profit for the first nine months of 2012 decreased by $3,407 compared to the same period of 2011. The decrease was driven by customer mix differences in Latin America, including Brazil as well as fewer election system and lottery sales compared to the prior year. In addition, pricing pressures continued in the Asia Pacific region. Partially offsetting these decreases, EMEA benefited from fewer restructuring charges related to the 2011 reorganization combined with operational improvement related to customer and product mix. An improvement in operating expenses was realized across a mix of geographies, inclusive of higher impairment charges.

Refer to note 17 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further details of segment revenue and operating profit.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Capital resources are obtained from income retained in the business, borrowings under the Company’s senior notes, committed and uncommitted credit facilities, long-term industrial revenue bonds, and operating and capital leasing arrangements. Management expects that the Company’s capital resources will be sufficient to finance planned working capital needs, research and development activities, investments in facilities or equipment, pension contributions, dividends and any repurchases of the Company’s common shares for at least the next 12 months. As of September 30, 2012, $558,089 or 97.5 percent of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments reside in international tax jurisdictions. Repatriation of these funds could be negatively impacted by foreign and domestic taxes. Part of the Company’s growth strategy is to pursue strategic acquisitions. The Company has made acquisitions in the past and intends to make acquisitions in the future. The Company intends to finance any future acquisitions with either cash and short-term investments, cash provided from operations, borrowings under available credit facilities, proceeds from debt or equity offerings and/or the issuance of common shares.

The following table summarizes the results of our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30:



	2012			2011
Net cash flow (used in) provided by:
Operating activities	$	(28,756	)	$	(54,664	)
Investing activities	(58,450		)	4,346
Financing activities	52,948			(23,575		)
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents	2,888			2,049
Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents	$	(31,370	)	$	(71,844	)

Net cash used in operating activities was $28,756 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, a decrease of $25,908 from $54,664 for the same period in 2011. Cash flows from operating activities are generated primarily from operating income and managing the components of working capital. Cash flows from operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to the same period of 2011, were positively impacted by a $22,773 increase in net income, as well as favorable changes in inventories, refundable income taxes and other current assets. These changes were partially offset by unfavorable changes in trade receivables, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and deferred revenue.

Net cash used in investing activities was $58,450 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $4,346 for the same period in 2011. The $62,796 change was primarily due to a $43,813 change in net investment activity, $23,625 of payments for acquisitions in 2012, and a $5,530 decrease in collections on purchased finance receivables. These items were partially offset by an $8,987 decrease in certain other assets.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $52,948 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $23,575 for the same period in 2011. The $76,523 change was primarily due to a decrease in share repurchases of $101,776 and an increase in the issuance of common shares related to share-based compensation activity of $12,634, partially offset by a $44,415 increase in net borrowings.

As of September 30, 2012, the Company had various international short-term uncommitted lines of credit with borrowing limits of $106,319. Short-term uncommitted lines mature in less than one year. The amount available under the short-term uncommitted lines at September 30, 2012 was $31,535.

In June 2011, the Company entered into a five-year credit facility, which replaced its previous credit facility. As of September 30, 2012, the Company had borrowing limits under the credit facility totaling $500,000. Under the terms of the credit facility agreement, the Company has the ability, subject to various approvals, to increase the borrowing limits by $250,000. Up to $50,000 of the revolving credit facility is available under a swing line sub-facility. The weighted-average interest rate on outstanding credit facility borrowings as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was 1.33 percent and 1.49 percent, respectively, which is variable based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). The amount available under the new credit facility as of September 30, 2012 was $167,000.

(dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)

In March 2006, the Company issued senior notes in an aggregate principal amount of $300,000 with a weighted-average fixed interest rate of 5.50 percent. The maturity dates of the senior notes are staggered, with $75,000, $175,000 and $50,000 becoming due in 2013, 2016 and 2018, respectively. Additionally, the Company entered into a derivative transaction to hedge interest rate risk on $200,000 of the senior notes, which was treated as a cash flow hedge. This reduced the effective interest rate from 5.50 percent to 5.36 percent. As of September 30, 2012, although it is due within twelve months, $75,000 of the senior notes remain classified as long-term debt because of the Company's intent and ability to fund the repayment using amounts available under its credit facility, unless an alternative source of financing with more favorable terms is available upon maturity.

Dividends The Company paid dividends of $54,573 and $55,146 in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Quarterly dividends were $0.285 and $0.280 per share for 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Contractual Obligations In the first nine months of 2012, the Company entered into direct purchasing agreements for a total negotiated price of $9,342. The following table summarizes the Company's approximate commitment to make future payments related to these agreements.



	Total		2012		2013
Direct purchasing agreements	$	4,399	$	2,099	$	2,300

Except the direct purchasing agreements noted above, all contractual cash obligations with initial and remaining terms in excess of one year and contingent liabilities remained generally unchanged at September 30, 2012 compared to December 31, 2011.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements The Company enters into various arrangements not recognized in the condensed consolidated balance sheets that have or could have an effect on its financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources. The principal off-balance sheet arrangements that the Company enters into are guarantees and sales of finance receivables. 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. Refer to note 12 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further details of guarantees. The Company has sold finance receivables to financial institutions while continuing to service the receivables. The Company records these sales by removing finance receivables from the condensed consolidated balance sheets and recording gains and losses in the condensed consolidated statements of income.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Management’s discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events. These estimates and the underlying assumptions affect the amounts of assets and liabilities reported, disclosures about contingent assets and liabilities and reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Such estimates include revenue recognition, the valuation of trade, notes and finance lease receivables, inventories, goodwill, intangible assets, other long-lived assets, legal contingencies, guarantee obligations and assumptions used in the calculation of income taxes, pension and post-retirement benefits and customer incentives, among others. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best estimates and judgment. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors. Management monitors the economic conditions and other factors and will adjust such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates.

Management believes there have been no significant changes during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 to the items that the Company disclosed as its critical accounting policies and estimates in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENT DISCLOSURE

of future performance. These forward-looking statements relate to, among other things, the Company’s future operating performance, the Company’s share of new and existing markets, the Company’s short- and long-term revenue and earnings growth rates, the Company’s implementation of cost-reduction initiatives and measures to improve pricing, including the optimization of the Company’s manufacturing capacity. The use of the words “will,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “projects,” “expects,” “intends” 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.

Although the Company believes that these forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions regarding, among other things, the economy, its knowledge of its business, and on key performance indicators that impact the Company, these forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by the forward-looking statements. The Company is not obligated to update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. Some of the risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by the forward-looking statements 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;


•	global economic conditions, including any additional deterioration and disruption in the financial markets, including the bankruptcies, restructurings or consolidations of financial institutions, which could reduce our customer base and/or adversely affect our customers' ability to make capital expenditures, as well as adversely impact the availability and cost of credit;


•	acceptance of the Company's product and technology introductions in the marketplace;


•	the Company's ability to maintain effective internal controls;


•	changes in the Company's intention to repatriate cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments residing in international tax jurisdictions could negatively impact foreign and domestic taxes;


•	unanticipated litigation, claims or assessments, as well as the outcome/impact of any current/pending litigation, claims or assessments, including with respect to the Company's Brazilian tax dispute;


•	variations in consumer demand for financial self-service technologies, products and services;


•	potential security violations to the Company's information technology systems;


•	the investment performance of our pension plan assets, which could require us to increase our pension contributions, and significant changes in health care costs, including those that may result from government action;


•	the amount and timing of repurchases of the Company's common shares, if any;


•	the outcome of the Company's global FCPA review and any actions taken by government agencies in connection with the Company's self disclosure, including the pending DOJ and SEC investigations; and


•	the Company's ability to achieve benefits from its cost-reduction initiatives and other strategic changes, including its restructuring actions.

ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Refer to the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. There has been no material change in this information since December 31, 2011.

ITEM 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

This quarterly report includes the certifications of our chief executive officer (CEO) and chief financial officer (CFO) required by Rule 13a-14 of the Exchange Act. See Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2. This Item 4 includes information concerning the controls and control evaluations referred to in those certifications.

Based on the performance of procedures by management, designed to ensure the reliability of financial reporting, management believes that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements fairly present, in all material respects, the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of the dates, and for the periods presented. Refer to Note 1 in the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements.

DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act) are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the CEO and CFO as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

In connection with the preparation of this quarterly report, management, under the supervision and with the participation of the CEO and CFO, conducted an evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2012.

A material weakness in internal control over financial reporting is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Management identified the following material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2012:

The Company concluded that controls pertaining to manufacturing and supply chain processes that could materially impact indirect tax incentives in its Brazilian subsidiary and roles and responsibilities within this Brazilian subsidiary pertaining to the operation of these controls, including reporting relationships for division tax and accounting associates to applicable corporate management with respect to the management of the indirect tax compliance program were not designed and/or operating effectively. Furthermore, controls designed to ensure adequate and effective communication by operational management to regional and corporate management were not operating effectively.

Because of the material weakness identified above, a reasonable possibility exists that a material misstatement in the Company's consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Remediation of Material Weakness

To address the material weakness discussed above, management will complete an evaluation to facilitate development of detailed remediation plans pertaining to: (a) design and operating effectiveness of control procedures pertaining to manufacturing and supply chain processes that could materially impact indirect tax incentives in its Brazilian subsidiary; (b) roles and responsibilities within its Brazilian subsidiary, including the reporting structure, with respect to the indirect tax compliance program; and (c) communication by operational management to regional and corporate management.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Other than the material weakness discussed above, there were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company's third fiscal quarter of 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

(dollars in thousands)

At September 30, 2012, 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 Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements would not be materially affected by the outcome of those legal proceedings, commitments, or asserted claims.

In addition to the routine legal proceedings noted above, the Company was a party to the legal proceedings and lawsuit described below at September 30, 2012:

Brazilian Federal Tax Assessment

In August 2012, one of the Company's Brazilian subsidiaries was notified of a tax assessment of approximately $133,000, including penalties and interest, regarding certain Brazilian federal indirect taxes (Industrialized Products Tax, Import Tax, Programa de Integração Social and Contribution to Social Security Financing) for 2008 and 2009. The assessment alleges improper importation of certain components into the country's free trade zone that would nullify certain indirect tax incentives. On September 10, 2012, the Company filed its administrative defenses with the tax authorities. This proceeding is currently pending an administrative level decision, which could negatively impact Brazilian federal indirect taxes in other years that remain open under statute. It is reasonably possible that the Company could be required to pay taxes, penalties and interest related to this matter, which could be material to the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Securities Action

On June 30, 2010, a shareholder filed a putative class action complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio alleging violations of the federal securities laws against the Company, certain current and former officers, and the Company’s independent auditors (Louisiana Municipal Police Employees Retirement System v. KPMG et al., No. 10-CV-1461). The complaint seeks unspecified compensatory damages on behalf of a class of persons who purchased the Company’s stock between June 30, 2005 and January 15, 2008 and fees and expenses related to the lawsuit. The complaint generally relates to the matters set forth in the court documents filed by the SEC in June 2010 finalizing the settlement of civil charges stemming from the investigation of the Company conducted by the Division of Enforcement of the SEC.

Management believes any possible loss or range of loss associated with the Brazilian federal tax assessment and putative federal securities class action cannot be estimated.

Global Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) Review

During the second quarter of 2010, while conducting due diligence in connection with a potential acquisition in Russia, the Company identified certain transactions and payments by its subsidiary in Russia (primarily during 2005 to 2008) that potentially implicate the FCPA, particularly the books and records provisions of the FCPA. As a result, the Company conducted a global internal review and collected information related to its global FCPA compliance. In the fourth quarter of 2010, the Company identified certain transactions within its Asia Pacific operation that occurred over the past several years that may also potentially implicate the FCPA. The Company continues to monitor its ongoing global compliance with the FCPA.

The Company has voluntarily self-reported its findings to the SEC and the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and is cooperating with these agencies in their review. The Company was previously informed that the SEC's inquiry had been converted to a formal, non-public investigation. The Company also received a subpoena for documents from the SEC and a voluntary request for documents from the DOJ in connection with the investigation. Because the SEC and DOJ investigations are ongoing, there can be no assurance that their review will not find evidence of additional transactions that potentially implicate the FCPA. The Company is continuing its discussions with the government toward a resolution to this matter. At this time, the Company cannot predict the results of the government investigations, and it is reasonably possible that the resolution of these matters with the SEC and the DOJ could result in changes in management's estimates of losses, which could be material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
