This sounds like embedded system problems to me: NORTH CANTON, Ohio, May 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Diebold, Incorporated (NYSE: DBD), announced today that earnings for its second quarter, which ends June 30, 1998, will probably lag behind those of the same period last year. Diebold earned $0.44 per share (diluted) in the second quarter of 1997. Analysts' estimates for the quarter currently range from $0.49 to $0.50. Industry-wide banking trends such as bank mega-mergers, as well as technological issues surrounding the year 2000 are having a near-term impact on Diebold's business. The company is currently re-evaluating its 1998 business plans and cost structure in a move that could result in a restructuring charge. Diebold, Incorporated (pronounced DEE-bold), headquartered in Canton, Ohio, is a global leader in providing card-based transaction systems, security and service solutions to the financial, education and healthcare industries. Founded in 1859, the company develops, manufactures, sells and services automated teller machines, campus systems, smart card systems, electronic and physical security equipment, automated medication and supplies dispensing systems, integrated systems solutions, software and supplies.
