                         Report of Independent Auditors


Corporate Compensation and Organization
   Committee of Eaton Corporation
Eaton Corporation 401(k) Savings Plan and Trust

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of the Eaton Corporation 401(k) Savings Plan and Trust as of December 31, 1998
and 1997, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for
benefits for the year ended December 31, 1998. 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 Plan at
December 31, 1998 and 1997 and the changes in its net assets available for
benefits for the year ended December 31, 1998, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial
statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedules of assets
held for investment purposes as of December 31, 1998, and reportable
transactions for the year then ended, are presented for purposes of additional
analysis and are not a required part of the 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. These supplemental schedules are the responsibility of the
Plan's management. The Fund Information in the statement of net assets available
for benefits and the statement 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 our audits of the financial
statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in
relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

                          Notes to Financial Statements

                           December 31, 1998 and 1997


A.     SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Investments are stated at fair value as measured by quoted prices in active
markets except for the Prism Money Market Fund and the Fidelity Contra Fund
where the investments are stated at fair value as determined by the trustee. The
participant loans receivable are valued at their outstanding balances, which
approximate fair value.

The cost of shares sold for mutual funds and Eaton Common Shares Fund is based
upon the average cost of each participant's shares sold for purposes of
determining realized gains and losses.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates that affect the
amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual
results could differ from these estimates.

B.     DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

Effective July 1, 1996, Eaton Corporation (the "Company" or "Plan Sponsor")
established a 401(k) profit sharing plan and trust to be known as the Eaton
Corporation 401(k) Savings Plan and Trust (the "Plan").

On May 1, 1998 the Company amended the Plan and restated certain articles
therein to qualify the Plan as a profit-sharing plan under Section 401(a) of the
Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"), and include a cash or deferred arrangement
that is intended to qualify under Section 401(k) of the Code.

The Plan provides that all union employees that belong to IAM Local 78 and IAM
Local 1061, Milwaukee, Wisconsin; USWA Local 7509, Shelbyville, Tennessee; UAW
Local 164, Auburn, Indiana; Metal Processors Union IUAP and NW AFL-CIO Local 16,
Rochelle, Illinois; UAW Local 220, Marshall, Michigan; IAM and Aerospace
Workers, Local 77, Eden Prairie, Minnesota; Beaver Salaried Employees
Association and IBEW, AFL-CIO, Local 201, Beaver, Pennsylvania; and IBEW,
AFL-CIO, Local 1833, Horseheads, New York, will be eligible for membership in
the Plan on the date at which the employee has completed the specified
probationary period as stated in the applicable collective bargaining agreement.

B.     DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN--CONTINUED

Eligible employees may elect to make before-tax contributions from 1 to 15
percent of their compensation. Contributions are allocated by the employee among
the following nine investment funds offered by the Plan. Beginning in 1998, the
Vanguard Index Fund and the Eaton Common Shares Fund are new investment options.

</TABLE>

Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contributions and
allocations of the Plan's earnings and is charged with an allocation of
administrative expenses. Allocations are based on participant account balances.
The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be
provided from the participant's account. Participants are immediately vested in
their contributions and actual earnings thereon. On termination of service a
participant is eligible to receive a lump-sum amount equal to the value of his
account.

Participants may borrow from their fund accounts up to the lesser of $50,000 or
50% of their vested account balance, reduced by their highest outstanding loan
balance during the preceding 12 months. Loan transactions are treated as a
transfer from the investment fund to the loan fund. Loan terms range from 1-5
years except for loans used for the purchase of a primary residence. The loans
are secured by the balance in the participant's account and bear interest at a
rate based on the prime interest rates as determined daily the Trustee.
Principal and interest is paid ratably through monthly payroll deductions.

All administrative and transaction costs, management fees and expenses of the
Plan shall be paid by the trustee from the trust unless such costs, fees and
expenses are paid by the Company. The Company elected to pay certain
administrative costs during 1998 on behalf of the Plan.

B.     DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN--CONTINUED

The Company may amend, modify, suspend or terminate the Plan. No amendment,
modification, suspension or termination of the Plan shall have the effect of
providing that any amounts then held under the Plan may be used or diverted to
any purpose other than for the exclusive benefit of members or their
beneficiaries.

Information about the Plan is contained in the Plan document, which is available
from the Human Resources Department upon request.

C.     INVESTMENTS

net assets available for benefits are as follows:

D.     INCOME TAX STATUS

The Plan has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service
dated November 14, 1997, stating that the Plan is qualified under Section 401(a)
of the Code and that the related trust therefore, is exempt from taxation. Once
qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the Code to
maintain its qualification. The Plan Administrator believes the Plan is being
operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code and,
therefore, believes that the Plan is qualified and the related trust is tax
exempt.

E.     TRANSACTIONS WITH PARTIES-IN-INTEREST

Party-in-interest transactions included the investment in the special funds of
the trustee and the payment of administrative expenses. Such transactions are
exempt from being prohibited transactions.

F.     PLAN MERGER

During 1998, the Company authorized the merger of the Eden Prairie Division
Hourly Employee 401(k) Plan and The Eaton Corporation Savings Plan for Certain
Cutler-Hammer Represented Employees to the Plan. Total assets transferred into
the plan during 1998 were $22,391,293.

G.     SUBSEQUENT EVENT

The Company authorized the mergers of the Engineered Fasteners Division Hourly
Employees 401(k) Plan and the Lincoln Plant Share Purchase and Investment Plan
and Trust into the Plan. The Plan mergers were effective February 1, 1999 and
May 1, 1999, respectively. Assets transferred into the Plan on approximately
those same dates.

H.     YEAR 2000 ISSUE (UNAUDITED)

The Plan Sponsor has determined that it will be necessary to take certain steps
in order to ensure that the Plan's information systems are prepared to handle
year 2000 dates. The Plan Sponsor is taking a two phase approach. The first
phase addresses internal systems that must be modified or replaced to function
properly. Both internal and external resources are being utilized to replace or
modify existing software applications, and test the software and equipment for
the year 2000 modifications. The Plan Sponsor anticipates substantially
completing this phase of the project by mid-1999. Costs associated with
modifying software and equipment are not estimated to be significant and will be
paid by the Plan Sponsor.

For the second phase of the project, Plan management established communications
with its third party service providers to determine that they have developed
plans to address their own year 2000 problems as they relate to the Plan's
operations. All third party service providers have indicated that they will be
year 2000 compliant by mid-1999. If modification of data processing systems of
either the Plan, the Plan Sponsor, or its service providers are not completed
timely, the year 2000 problem could have an impact on the operations of the
Plan. Plan management has not developed a contingency plan, because they are
confident that all systems will be year 2000 ready.
