MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY:

        Operating activities for the quarter ended September 30, 1995, provided
$143,200 of cash flow compared to $411,900 for the first quarter one year ago.
Factors other than the normal seasonal nature and cyclical pattern of the
college and university market continued to have a material effect on the current
quarter's cash flow.  In fiscal year ended June 30, 1995, Griffin deviated from
the past business practice of lease agreements for its installed electronic
systems.  New policies related to sales of card reading terminals and electronic
systems/software resulted in a significant change to certain accounts on the
Balance Sheet and impacted cash flow.  Inventories and unearned service fees at
September 30, 1995, are down $730,800 and $1,725,400, respectively; accounts
receivable are up $567,300; and working capital is $5,003,200 compared to
$3,676,500 one year ago.

        As previously reported, Griffin's operations during Fiscal 1995 rendered
the Company unable to comply with certain covenant requirements contained in the
Fifth Amended and Restated Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement negotiated
with a bank November 3, 1994.  The situation continued into the current quarter,
and the bank granted waivers for the specific events of default existing at
June 30 and September 30, 1995.  As of November 10, 1995, the monies borrowed
under this agreement were $5,100,000 compared to $5,900,000 on the same date in
1994.  Management is reviewing the agreement with the bank and believes that
sufficient funds will be available to meet Griffin's operating cash requirements
during the foreseeable future.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

        Total revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 1995, amounted to
$6,515,200, a net increase of 33%, or $1,602,400, over 1994.  As a result of the
change in business policy mentioned above, there was a significant shift in the
current quarter of types of revenue generated.  Service fees related to system
lease agreements decreased $646,900 while net sales of electronic
systems/software and peripheral equipment increased $2,249,300.  The backlog of
system/software sales is currently in excess of $500,000.

        Costs and expenses during the three months ended September 30, 1995,
increased $1,521,100 over the same 1994 period.  The material cost of products
sold accounts for almost all of this increase.

        Elimination of staff positions by realigning sales and marketing
functions, electronic system service, and housing information system functions
accounted for cost savings in these areas.

        Earnings for the first quarter of the current year were $278,300, or
$.12 per share, compared with earnings for the same period one year ago of
$219,700, or $.09 per share.  The effective annual income tax rate is
approximately the same for the first quarter in each fiscal year.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

        Results for the period ended September 30 are not necessarily indicative
of results to be expected for the year because Griffin's sales historically
reach seasonal highs during the months of July through September and again
during the months of April through June.

        Information furnished reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion
of management, necessary to a fair statement of results for interim periods
presented.  All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

        Net income per share was computed on the basis of the weighted average
number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during each period.
The common equivalent shares represent shares contingently issuable under
Griffin's stock option plan.

                           PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

Item 5.   Other Information

          On October 23, 1995, Griffin Technology Incorporated (the
          "Company") announced that it had entered into an Agreement and
          Plan of Merger ("Agreement") with Diebold, Incorporated,
          ("Parent"), pursuant to which D-GT Acquisition, Incorporated
          ("Purchaser"), a New York corporation and a wholly-owned
          subsidiary of Parent, agreed to offer to purchase all of the
          issued and outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock at a
          price of $7.75 net per share payable in cash through a tender
          offer to the stockholders of the Company (the "Offer").  The
          Agreement provides for a subsequent merger of Purchaser into the
          Company at the same price per share paid pursuant to the Offer.
          The Board of Directors of the Company unanimously recommended
          that stockholders of the Company tender their shares pursuant to
          the Offer after the Board gave careful consideration to a number
          of factors, which are described in the Company's Schedule 14D-9,
          as amended, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

          The Annual Meeting of Griffin scheduled for November 16, 1995,
          will be in adjournment until further notice in view of the
          transactions contemplated by the above Agreement.
