                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


The Trustee
EDS 401(k) Plan:


We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of the EDS 401(k) Plan (formerly EDS Deferred  Compensation Plan) as of December
31, 1998 and 1997, and the related statements of changes in net assets available
for  benefits  for the years then  ended.  These  financial  statements  are the
responsibility  of the Plan's  management.  Our  responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements 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 financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all material  respects,  the net assets available for benefits of the EDS 401(k)
Plan as of December 31, 1998 and 1997,  and the changes in net assets  available
for  benefits for the years then ended in  conformity  with  generally  accepted
accounting principles.

Our audits  were  performed  for the  purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of assets held
for  investment  purposes and  reportable  transactions  are  presented  for the
purpose  of  additional  analysis  and are  not a  required  part  of the  basic
financial   statements  but  are  supplementary   information  required  by  the
Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations  for Reporting and Disclosure  under
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental  schedules
have been  subjected  to the  auditing  procedures  applied in the audits of the
basic  financial  statements  and,  in our  opinion,  are  fairly  stated in all
material  respects  in  relation to the basic  financial  statements  taken as a
whole.

                          Notes to Financial Statements

                           December 31, 1998 and 1997


1.   Description of Plan

     The EDS 401(k) Plan (the Plan)  (formerly EDS Deferred  Compensation  Plan)
became  effective July 1, 1983,  with employees  admitted to the Plan October 1,
1983. As used herein,  the terms "EDS",  "the Company",  and "Employer" refer to
Electronic  Data  Systems  Corporation  and  its  adopting   subsidiaries  which
participate in the Plan. The following description of the Plan reflects all Plan
amendments  as of December 31, 1998 and is provided for general  purposes  only.
Participants  should refer to the Plan document,  as amended,  for more complete
information.

(a)  General

     The Plan is a defined  contribution plan covering eligible employees of the
Company.  An  employee  becomes  eligible  to  participate  in the Plan upon the
commencement of service with the Employer.

     During 1998, net assets  totaling  $68,334,657  were  transferred  into the
Plan.  Significant  transfers related to the transition of employees during 1998
were BellSouth, Chevron, Intergraph,  Digital, Bethlehem Steel and Motorola with
$24,187,909,  $18,783,061,  $5,623,584, $4,305,514, $2,635,782 and $2,221,033 of
net assets transferred, respectively. For financial statement purposes, the fair
values of the assets  transferred  from or to the plans are  reflected as of the
dates of transfer.

     The Vanguard  Fiduciary  Trust Company  (Vanguard) is the asset  custodian,
record-keeper  and  trustee  for the  Plan.  The  Vanguard  Group of  Investment
Companies  manages  13 of the  15  investment  funds  of the  Plan.  The  Plan's
Investment  Committee  has  responsibility  for managing the Income Fund and EDS
Stock  Fund and for  selecting  the  investment  funds  available  for  employee
directed investments.

     The Plan is subject to the  provisions  of the Employee  Retirement  Income
Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), as amended and the Internal Revenue Code (IRC), as
amended.  The Plan was created to provide  additional  incentive and  retirement
security for eligible  employees.  The Plan allows for fifteen active investment
funds (ten in 1997), fourteen of which are available for participant  investment
(nine in 1997):

         Income  Fund,  which is a fixed  income  fund;
         EDS Stock  Fund,  which consists of EDS common stock;
         Vanguard Money Market Reserves-Prime Portfolio (Vanguard Money Market),
           a short-term investment fixed income fund;
         Vanguard  Federal  Money  Market  Fund  (new  in  1998),  a  short-term
           investment  fixed  income  fund;
         Vanguard Wellington Fund (Vanguard Wellington), a stock and bond mutual
           fund;
         Vanguard Growth and Income Portfolio (Vanguard Growth and Income), for-
           merly the Vanguard Quantitative Portfolios, a growth and income stock
           mutual  fund;
         Vanguard U.S. Growth  Portfolio  (Vanguard U.S.), a growth stock mutual
           fund;
         Vanguard International Growth Portfolio (Vanguard International), a
           growth stock mutual fund investing in foreign companies;
         Vanguard Explorer Fund, an aggressive growth stock fund;
         Vanguard Bond Index Fund, which is an intermediate-term bond fund;

                          Notes to Financial Statements



         Vanguard 500  Index  Fund  (new in 1998),  an index  fund  based on the
             Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index;
         Vanguard  LifeStrategy  Conservative  Growth  Fund  (new  in  1998),  a
           conservative mix of stocks, bonds and cash reserves;
         Vanguard  LifeStrategy  Moderate  Growth Fund (new in 1998), a moderate
           mix of stocks, bonds and cash reserves; and
         Vanguard  LifeStrategy Growth Fund (new in 1998), a more aggressive mix
           of stocks, bonds and cash reserves.

     All of the administrative expenses of the Plan are paid by the Company with
the exception of loan  application  fees. All investment  expenses are paid from
the investment funds.

     In order to preserve any protected  benefits,  rights or features under any
plans which are merged into the EDS 401(k) Plan, the Plan was amended, effective
December 30, 1988, to specifically  prohibit the reduction or elimination of any
benefit, right or feature protected under IRC Section 411 (d) (6).

(b)  Contributions

     Each  year,  contributions  to  the  Plan  are  made  on a  pre-tax  basis.
Participants  may elect to defer between one percent and twenty percent of their
total compensation  subject to: (1) a maximum annual  contribution of $10,000 in
1998 and 1997,  (2) a maximum  annual  eligible  compensation  of  $160,000  per
participant beginning January 1, 1994, and (3) EDS limitations imposed to ensure
a fair mix of  participation  among  employees.  The total annual additions to a
participant's  individual  account  may not  exceed  the lesser of $30,000 or 25
percent of the participant's  total  compensation as defined in the Plan. Annual
additions  for  purposes  of this test are  defined  as  contributions  less any
rollover  contributions  made during the year. If the participant is enrolled in
other  Company  employee  benefit  plans  sponsored by the  Company,  the annual
additions are subject to other limitation tests.

     Effective  January  1, 1991,  a  participant  may  elect,  up to four times
annually, to change his/her designated percentage of compensation deferred.

     Effective July 1, 1998, the Company  matches 25% of employee  contributions
up to 6% of an employee's salary. The matching contributions will be made in EDS
stock which is restricted from trade for two-years, based on the trade date.

(c)  Withdrawals

     Withdrawals  may be made from the Plan in certain  circumstances.  Hardship
withdrawals  may be made once a participant  has  exhausted all other  available
financial  resources,  including  Plan loans,  and upon the approval of the Plan
Administrator.  A  participant  may then  withdraw an amount equal to but not in
excess of the expense of the hardship in  accordance  with  requirements  of the
IRC. In order to obtain such approval from the Plan Administrator, a participant
must  demonstrate  immediate  and  heavy  financial  need  and meet  other  plan
requirements for withdrawal.  In addition,  participants age 59 1/2 or above may
obtain an in-service  withdrawal  without being subject to an additional 10% tax
penalty.  The  amount of a  participant's  withdrawals  may not be repaid to the
Plan.

(d)  Participant's Individual Account

     The Participant's  Individual Account is credited with the salary deferral,
rollover,  and matching  contributions  and the amounts of participant  earnings
dictated  by the number of units held in each  investment  fund.  The benefit to
which a  participant  is entitled is limited to the amount of the  participant's
individual account.

     The participant  determines the percentage of the investment contributed to
one or  more  of the  investment  funds.  The  percentages  may be in any  whole
percentage increment.

(e)  Vesting

     Participants  are always 100% vested in their salary  deferral and rollover
contributions and in the earnings received thereon.  Matching contributions vest
40% at two years of credited  service and in 20% increments each year of service
thereafter.

(f)  Payments of Benefits

     On termination of service, age 59 1/2, death, or retirement,  a participant
may elect to  receive  a  distribution  for all or part of the value of  his/her
account,  EDS common  stock (for any  amount so  invested),  or in the form of a
joint and survivor 50%  non-transferable  annuity contract  purchased on his/her
behalf from an insurance company.  With spousal consent, a participant may elect
a  lump  sum  distribution  or  periodic  payments  in  monthly,  quarterly,  or
semi-annual installments.  Distributions, except annuity payments, may be rolled
into another qualified plan or to an individual retirement account.

(g)  Loans

     Upon written  application  of a  participant,  the Plan  Administrator  may
direct  the  trustee to make a loan to the  participant.  The amount of any such
loan  is  limited  to  fifty  percent   (50%)  of  the  amount  of   accumulated
contributions  to which the  participant  would be  entitled if  employment  was
terminated as of the date the loan is made. No loan may be granted for less than
$500. The maximum amount of loans  available to a participant is $50,000 reduced
by the highest outstanding loan balances from the Plan during the preceding year
minus the  outstanding  loan balances on the date a loan is made. Plan loans and
interest must be repaid  within five years or upon  termination  of  employment,
whichever is earlier. If the outstanding loan is not repaid in full prior to the
end  of  the  quarter  during  which  the  participant  separates,   the  amount
outstanding  will be reported to the Internal Revenue Service as income for that
calendar  year.  Effective  July 1, 1991,  the Plan was amended to allow no more
than four outstanding  loans at any one time. No more than two Plan loans may be
granted in any plan year.  At December 31, 1998 and 1997,  the interest  rate on
new loans was seven and  three-fourths  percent  (7.75%) and eight and  one-half
percent (8.5%), respectively.


2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     The Plan is accounted for under the accrual method of accounting.

                          Notes to Financial Statements





(a)  Investments

     The Plan's  investments  are stated at fair  value  based on quoted  market
prices except for its investment  contracts with insurance  companies  which are
stated at contract value, which approximates fair value. The average cost method
is used to calculate gains and losses on the sale of investments.  Purchases and
sales of investments are recorded on a trade date basis.  Participant  loans are
presented in the accompanying  financial  statements at unpaid principal balance
which approximates fair value.

(b)  Investment Income

     Income from investments is recorded as it is earned. Dividends are recorded
on the ex-dividend date.


(c)  Benefits

     Benefits are recorded when paid.

(d)  Use of Estimates

     The  preparation of the 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 financial
statements  and the reported  amounts of  additions  and  deductions  during the
reporting  period.  Because of the use of  estimates  inherent in the  financial
reporting process, actual results could differ from those estimates.

(e)  Contributions Receivable

     At December 31, 1997,  contributions  receivable were allocated as follows:
$275,120  -  Income  Fund;  $266,131  - EDS  Stock  Fund;  $426,710  -  Vanguard
Wellington  Fund;  $322,883 - Vanguard  U.S.  Growth  Portfolio  Fund;  $185,030
Vanguard  International  Growth  Portfolio Fund;  $405,931 - Vanguard Growth and
Income Portfolio;  $119,322 - Vanguard Explorer; $92,448 - Vanguard Money Market
Reserves-Prime  Portfolio  Fund;  and  $37,427  -  Vanguard  Total  Bond  Market
Portfolio Fund.


3.   Plan Termination

     While it has not  expressed  any  intention  to do so, the  Company has the
right to terminate the Plan at any time by majority vote of the Company's  Board
of Directors subject to the provisions of ERISA.


4.   Investments

     The  trustee  of the Plan  holds  the  investments  of the Plan in trust on
behalf of the  participants  and  beneficiaries.  Consistent  with the fiduciary
standards of ERISA,  safeguards  are adhered to in  protecting  the interests of
Plan participants and their beneficiaries.

     The Income fund also  invests in  structured  investment  contracts.  Under
these  arrangements,  the Plan  enters  into a wrap  agreement  with a financial
institution at a stated yield on fixed income securities  purchased by the Plan.
The wrap  agreements are stated at fair value based on  fluctuations in the fair
value of the underlying fixed income securities.

     The following  table presents the fair  value/contract  value of the Plan's
investments  at December  31, 1998 and 1997.  Investments  that  represent  five
percent (5.00%) or more of the Plan's net assets are separately identified.

                          Notes to Financial Statements


     To  hedge  against  adverse  foreign  currency   movements,   the  Vanguard
International Growth Portfolio may enter into contracts for the purchase or sale
of a specific  foreign  currency at a fixed price at a future date.  The forward
foreign  currency rate of the  underlying  currency and any gains and losses are
recorded for financial  statement purposes at fair value and as unrealized until
the contract settlement date, at which point they are realized. To hedge against
anticipated  future changes in interest or security prices,  the Vanguard Growth
and Income Portfolio may utilize futures contracts to a limited extent. The Fund
receives from or pays to brokers amounts equal to the daily  fluctuations in the
values of the contracts.  These receipts and payments are recorded as unrealized
gains and losses until the contract  settlement  dates,  at which point they are
realized.   The  underlying   risk  to  participants  is  proportional  to  each
participant's  number of shares relative to the total number of shares issued by
each mutual fund.


5.  Related Party Transactions

     As stated  previously  in note 1, the EDS Stock Fund consists of EDS common
stock.


6.  Income Tax Status

     The Plan  obtained its latest  determination  letter on July 18,  1995,  in
which the Internal  Revenue Service stated that the Plan, as then designed,  was
in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code (the
"Code").  The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination  letter to
allow for  investments  in the EDS Stock Fund,  the employer  match,  changes to
comply  with   legislative   requirements   and  other   amendments.   The  Plan
Administrator believes that the Plan is currently designed and being operated in
compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code.
