                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT



The Plan Administrator and Participants
Diebold, Incorporated 401(k) Savings Plan


We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of Diebold, Incorporated 401(k) Savings 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 Diebold,
Incorporated 401(k) Savings 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 fund information in the
statements of net assets available for benefits and the statements of changes in
net assets available for benefits is presented for purposes of additional
analysis rather than to present the net assets available for benefits and
changes in net assets available for benefits of each fund. The supplemental
schedules and fund information 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.

                    DIEBOLD, INCORPORATED 401(k) SAVINGS PLAN
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                           DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND 1997


(1)  Description of the Plan
     -----------------------

     The following brief description of the Diebold, Incorporated 401(k) Savings
     Plan (the "Plan") provides only general information. Participants should
     refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan's
     provisions.

     (a)  General
          -------

          The Board of Directors of Diebold, Incorporated (the "Employer")
          established this defined contribution plan effective as of April 1,
          1990. The Plan covers all non-bargaining unit employees of the
          Employer and affiliates who have completed ninety days of employment.
          The Plan is subject to certain provisions of the Employee Retirement
          Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

     (b)  Contributions
          -------------

          For the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, the Plan allowed each
          participant to contribute from one to ten percent (in one percent
          increments) of pre-tax compensation, but not in excess of the maximum
          amount permitted by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.

          In 1998 and 1997, the Employer contributed as a Basic Matching
          Contribution an amount equal to sixty cents for each dollar of a
          participant's pre-tax contributions during each payroll period up to
          three percent of the participant's compensation in such payroll period
          and thirty cents for each dollar of a participant's pre-tax
          contributions on the next three percent of the participant's
          compensation in such payroll period.

          At the end of any Plan Year, the Employer, at its discretion, may
          determine that an Additional Matching Contribution be made for the
          next succeeding Plan year. The amount of any Additional Matching
          Contribution shall be determined solely by action of the Board of
          Directors. An Additional Matching Contribution was made in the last
          three quarters of 1998 and the first quarter of 1997 such that the
          total matching contribution (including the Basic Matching
          Contribution) was eighty cents for each dollar of a participant's
          pre-tax contributions during each payroll period up to four percent of
          the participant's compensation in such payroll period and forty cents
          for each dollar of a participant's pre-tax contributions on the next
          four percent of the participant's compensation in such payroll period.

          For the period of April 1, 1997 through March 31, 1998, an Additional
          Matching Contribution was made such that the total matching
          contribution (including the Basic Matching Contribution) was one
          dollar for each dollar of a participant's pre-tax contributions during
          each payroll period up to four percent of the participant's
          compensation in such payroll period and forty cents for each dollar of
          a participant's pre-tax contributions on the next four percent of the
          participant's compensation in such payroll period.

                                   (continued)
     (c)  Participants' Accounts
          ----------------------

          As of June 30, 1998 all assets in the plan were transferred to The
          Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company as Trustee for the Plan. As of
          January 1, 1992, the Employer, as the plan administrator for the Plan,
          established two separate accounts for each participant, a Regular
          Account and a Retiree Medical Funding Account. All participant
          contributions are deposited into the Regular Account. Each participant
          may direct that his or her contributions to the Regular Account be
          invested in the Fidelity Mutual Funds, Fidelity Retirement Government
          Money Market, Victory Financial Reserves Fund, Equities, Guaranteed
          Investment Contracts, or any combination thereof with the minimum
          investment in any fund/portfolio of five percent before June 30, 1998.
          After June 30, 1998 each participant may direct that his or her
          contributions to the Regular Account be invested in the Vanguard
          Mutual Funds, Vanguard Retirement Savings Trust, Loomis Sayles Mutual
          Funds, Equities or any combination thereof with the minimum investment
          in any fund/portfolio of five percent.

          For 1998 and 1997, the Employer's Basic Matching Contribution was
          divided between the Regular Account and the Retiree Medical Funding
          Account. The portion of the Employer's Basic Matching Contribution
          which was equal to thirty cents for each dollar contributed by a
          participant up to three percent of the participant's compensation in
          such payroll period was deposited in the Retiree Medical Funding
          Account. These Employer contributions were invested in the above named
          funds and/or portfolios according to the participant's direction. In
          1998 and 1997, any additional Matching Contribution was deposited in
          the Regular Account and was invested in the Company Stock Fund.

     (d)  Vesting
          -------

          A participant's pre-tax contributions and earnings and the Employer's
          pre-tax contributions and earnings are immediately vested and
          nonforfeitable.

     (e)  Distribution of Benefits
          ------------------------

          Upon termination of service with the Employer or affiliate, a
          participant shall receive his or her total account balance in a lump
          sum payment if such total account balance does not exceed $3,500.
          Otherwise, the participant may elect to receive his or her total
          account balance in a lump sum payment upon termination, defer receipt
          until retirement date, or make a direct rollover to a qualified plan.

          A participant entitled to a distribution during the years ended
          December 31, 1998 and 1997, received cash for his or her lump sum
          distribution, except for funds in the Company Stock Fund for which an
          election of cash or the Employer's Common Shares was made.


     (f)  Participant Notes Receivable
          ----------------------------

          Effective April 1, 1995, the Plan was amended and the Loan Fund was
          established to administer the activities of participant loans. Loan
          transactions are treated as a transfer to (from) the investment fund
          from (to) the Loan Fund. Under the terms of the Plan, active
          participants of the Plan may borrow against their account balances.
          The minimum amount of any loan is $1,000 and the maximum is $50,000 or
          50% of a participant's total vested balance (in $100 increments),
          whichever is less. Loan payments are made through equal payroll
          deductions over the loan period of one to five years. All loans must
          be repaid in full year increments. Interest charged is determined by
          the Savings Plan Committee based on the prime interest rate plus one
          percent as of the loan effective date.

                                   (continued)

     (g)  Plan Merger
          -----------
          On September 30, 1998 the Griffin Technology 401(k) Plan was merged
          into the Diebold, Incorporated 401(k) Savings Plan.

     (h)  Expenses
          --------

          All costs and expenses incident to the administration of the Plan and
          the management of the trust fund are paid by the Plan administrator
          except for loan processing and administration fees associated with the
          Loan Fund which are borne by the individual loan participants.

(2)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
     ------------------------------------------

     (a)  Basis of Presentation
          ---------------------

          The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on an accrual
          basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

     (b)  Investments
          -----------

          The Plan's investments are stated at fair value as of the last
          business day of the Plan year, except for investments in the Managed
          Income Portfolio. This fund is represented by purchases of units in
          the Fidelity Managed Income Portfolio, which invests primarily in
          guaranteed investment contracts. The fund is fully benefit-responsive,
          and accordingly, investments in this fund are valued at the underlying
          contract value. Shares of registered investment companies are valued
          at quoted market prices which represent the net asset value of shares
          held by the Plan at year-end. The Company stock is valued at its
          quoted market price. Participant notes receivable are valued at cost
          which approximates fair value. All purchases and sales transactions
          are recorded on a trade date basis.

     (c)  Use of Estimates
          ----------------

          The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
          accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
          and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of net assets
          available for benefits and liabilities and disclosure of contingent
          assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
          reported amounts of changes in net assets available for plan benefits
          during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
          estimates.

(3)  Federal Income Taxes
     --------------------

     On November 19, 1992, the Plan received a determination letter from the
     Internal Revenue Service that the Plan qualified under the provisions of
     Section 401(a) and 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code and that the trust
     was exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(c). The plan
     administrator believes that the Plan continues to qualify under the
     provisions of Section 401(a) and 401(k) and that the trust is exempt from
     federal income taxes.

(4)  Plan Termination
     ----------------

     Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Employer reserves
     the right at any time, by action of its Board of Directors, to terminate
     the Plan or discontinue contributions thereto.
