PART III
NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.
As previously disclosed, in August 2012, a Brazilian subsidiary of Diebold, Incorporated (the "Company") was notified of a tax assessment of approximately $133.0 million, 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 Brazil's free trade zone that would nullify certain indirect tax incentives.
The Company continues to work to remediate a previously disclosed material weakness pertaining to manufacturing and supply chain processes related to indirect tax incentives for this Brazilian subsidiary. As part of the remediation, during the second quarter of 2013, the Company identified an adjustment related to 2008 to 2012 prior-year periods for Brazil federal indirect tax incentives in the amount of approximately $23 million, which will reduce prior-period earnings and be reported prospectively as a revision to prior-period financial statements. As a result of applying this revision retrospectively to the second quarter 2012, previously reported product cost of goods sold for that period increased by $1.6 million, and previously reported net income and diluted earnings per share for that period decreased by $1.2 million and $0.02, respectively.
The Company continues to assess its Brazilian indirect tax compliance. Accordingly, until the assessment of the Company’s Brazilian indirect tax compliance is completed, the Company will be unable to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 within the prescribed time period, and it is possible that financial results for certain prior-year periods may need to be further revised or restated. The delay could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense.

FORM 12b-25 Appendix
Diebold, Incorporated
For Period Ended: June 30, 2013
(3)    Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?
As reported in its 2013 preliminary second quarter financial results on August 6, 2013, Diebold, Incorporated (the Company) had a number of significant changes in its results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2013 from the corresponding period for 2012 as follows:
a.
Declines in revenue and margin - Total revenue for the second quarter 2013 decreased 4.9% compared with the second quarter 2012. Total gross margin for the second quarter 2013 was 22.3%, a decrease of 2.4 percentage points from the second quarter of 2012, with declines in both product and service.

b.
Increase in operating expenses - Total operating expenses were $181.0 million, or 25.6% of revenue, for the second quarter 2013, an increase of 6.0 percentage points from the second quarter of 2012.Operating expenses in the second quarter 2013 included $3.2 million of net restructuring charges primarily related to the company's global realignment plan, especially within the North America-based operations and corporate functions. Second quarter of 2013 operating expenses also included non-routine expenses of $45.9 million. This includes an additional accrual of $28.0 million for a potential settlement with the respective U.S. government agencies in connection with the company's previously disclosed Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) inquiry, and a $17.5 million accrual for a potential settlement for the previously disclosed securities class action lawsuit. The remaining $0.4 million represents intangible asset amortization for the 2012 acquisitions of GAS and Altus.

The company has agreed in principle with the DOJ and the SEC to the terms of a proposed settlement of their inquiries, which terms remain subject to final approval by all parties. These proposed settlement terms include combined payments to the U.S. government of approximately $48.0 million in disgorgement, penalties and prejudgment interest, and the appointment of an independent compliance monitor for a minimum period of 18 months. Accordingly, during the second quarter 2013, Diebold accrued an additional $28.0 million in connection with the potential settlement.

c.
Change in effective tax rate - The effective tax rate on continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was (261.8)% compared with 34.4% for the same period of 2012. The change in tax rate from the prior year period was primarily the result of deferred tax expense of $42.8 million related to the repatriation of undistributed foreign earnings and the establishment of a valuation allowance of $32.7 million on certain Brazil deferred tax assets.

d.
Prior Period Error Correction - Diebold continues to work to remediate a previously disclosed material weakness pertaining to manufacturing and supply chain processes related to indirect tax incentives for this Brazil subsidiary. As part of remediation, during the second quarter of 2013, the company identified an adjustment related to 2008 to 2012 prior-year periods for Brazil federal indirect tax incentives in the amount of approximately $23 million. This will reduce prior-period earnings and be reported prospectively as a revision to prior-period financial statements. As a result of applying this revision retrospectively to the second quarter 2012, previously reported product cost of goods sold for that period increased by $1.6 million, and previously reported net income and diluted earnings per share for that period decreased by $1.2 million and $0.02, respectively.
