          NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS





1. Primary earnings per share are computed by dividing earnings by
   the weighted average number of shares outstanding plus any common
   stock equivalents during each period.  The fully diluted earnings
   per share calculation assumes that all of the Convertible Subordinated
   Debentures were converted into Common Stock at the beginning of the
   reporting period thereby increasing the weighted average number of
   shares considered outstanding during each period.  Also, all interest
   expense on the debentures for the period is added to pre-tax income
   and the hypothetical additional income tax expense is deducted.
   The weighted average number of shares outstanding is further
   increased by common stock equivalents on employee stock options.


2. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements
   have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q
   and do not include all of the information and footnotes required
   by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
   financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all
   adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered
   necessary for a fair presentation have been included.


3. On April 1, 1995, Dibrell Brothers, Incorporated (Dibrell) and Monk-
   Austin, Inc. (Monk-Austin) merged into DIMON Incorporated.  The
   merger has been accounted for as a pooling of interests and all
   prior consolidated financial statements have been restated to
   include the historical results of operations of both Dibrell and
   Monk-Austin including the effects of conforming the accounting
   policies of the two former entities.  Recorded assets and
   liabilities have been carried forward at their historical book
   values.


4. In June, 1995, the Company provided a restructuring reserve of
   $17.9 million pre-tax related primarily to eliminating
   duplicative facilities of tobacco operations and a reduction
   in the number of employees.  During the quarter and nine months
   ended March 31, 1996, an additional $2.7 million and $5.6
   million, respectively, pre-tax, was provided for restructuring
   the tobacco operations in Brazil and corporate departments,
   primarily for a reduction in the number of employees, net of
   recoveries of $498 thousands relating primarily to accounts
   receivable of closed flower locations.  As of March 31, 1996,
   payments for the nine months of $6.8 million have been
   recorded as a reduction of the restructuring reserves.

5. The results of operations for the three months and nine months
   ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 are not necessarily indicative of
   the results to be expected for the full year and should not be
   relied on as a basis for projecting year end results.  The
   Company's operations are seasonal and quarterly comparisons are
   of little value.


6. For additional information regarding accounting principles and
   other financial data, see Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 
   in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year 
   ended June 30, 1995.


7. Certain accounts of the prior periods have been reclassified for
   conformity with the financial statements of the current period.

8. On February 9, 1996, the Company called for redemption on March
   11, 1996, all of the $54.3 million outstanding Convertible
   Subordinated Debentures.  As of March 4, 1996, holders of
   Debentures had converted 99.85% of the Debentures into 4,035,969
   shares of the Company's common stock.  The remaining Debentures
   were redeemed on March 11, 1996, for $89,188.  The Company
   funded the redemption price for these Debentures from working
   capital.  Proforma primary earnings per share as if the
   conversion as if it had taken place at the beginning of the
   period would have been $.16 and $.80 for the three and nine
   months, respectively, or equal to the fully diluted amounts as
   disclosed in the statement of consolidated income.

9. On November 7, 1995, DIMON International, Inc., a wholly owned
   subsidiary of DIMON Incorporated, completed the sale of its 50%
   interest in Rio Grande Tabacalera S.A. (RGT), a Brazilian
   processing entity, to an unrelated third party.  The Company's
   investment was sold for $9,000,000 in cash, recognizing a gain
   on the sale of RGT of $3,113,000, net of related taxes of
   $630,000.
  
10. The Company has filed a registration statement with the
    Securities and Exchange Commission relating to $125 million
    of Senior Notes due 2006.  The Company expects that the
    offerings of the Notes will be completed in June, 1996.
    DIMON International, Inc. and Florimex Worldwide,
    Inc.(collectively, the "Guarantors"), wholly owned
    subsidiaries of the Company, will fully and unconditionally
    guaranteed on a joint and several basis the Company's
    obligations to pay principal, premium and interest relative
    to the Notes.  Management has determined that separate,
    full financial statements of the Guarantors would not be
    material to investors and such financial statements are not
    provided.  Supplemental combining financial information of
    the Guarantors is presented below:

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



Results of Operations:

Three Months Ended March 31, 1996 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 1995:

Net sales of goods and services for the three month period ended March 31, 1996
were $573.1 million, a decrease of 11.0% from $644.1 million for the three month
period ended March 31, 1995.  Net sales from tobacco operations decreased 14.4% 
to $456.6 million in the three month period ended March 31, 1996 from $533.3 
million in the corresponding period in 1995.  The decrease in tobacco sales 
was primarily due to lower average prices and decreases in quantities for U.S.
grown tobacco and decreases in average prices for foreign grown tobacco, 
partially offset by increases in revenue from services. Lower average 
prices and decreased quantities for U.S. tobacco and lower average prices for 
foreign grown tobacco accounted for $51.2 million, $44.0 million and $17.0 
million, respectively, of the decrease in tobacco revenues.  Lower prices and 
quantities of U.S. tobacco were primarily due to the smaller U.S. burley crop 
resulting from adverse growing conditions in 1996.  These decreases were 
partially offset by a $33.7 million increase in revenue for services, which 
primarily related to processing for Lorillard Tobacco Company pursuant to an 
agreement entered into in late fiscal 1995.  The decreased sales from Brazil 
were almost entirely offset by increased sales from Greece, Italy and Turkey.
Brazilian sales in the three months ended March 31, 1996 were lower than in 
the corresponding period in 1995 due to aggressive actions in 1995 to reduce
excess inventories accumulated due to the enactment of domestic content 
legislation in the U.S., which was repealed in 1995.

Net sales from flower operations increased 5.1%, to $116.5 million in the 
three month period ended March 31, 1996 from $110.8 million for the three 
month period ended March 31, 1995.  This increase in flower sales was 
primarily due to increased sales of Baardse.

Cost of sales and expenses, including selling, general and administrative 
expenses and restructuring and merger related costs for the three month period 
ended March 31, 1996 were $554.5 million, a decrease of 10.5% from $619.8 
million for the three month period ended March 31, 1995.  This decrease is 
net of $2.8 million in restructuring charges in the three month period ended 
March 31, 1996.  Cost of sales and expenses for the tobacco operations 
decreased 13.9% in the three month period ended March 31, 1996 over the 
corresponding period in 1995, primarily due to the lower net sales of tobacco 
in the period.  The gross profit for the tobacco operations decreased 5.0% for 
the three month period ended March 31, 1996 over the corresponding period in 
1995, primarily due to decreased sales of tobacco from Brazil, offset partially 
by increased sales and gross profits on tobacco from Europe.    The Company's

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)



gross margin for tobacco operations improved to 9.8% for the three month period
ended March 31, 1996 from 8.8% for the corresponding period in 1995, due to 
higher gross margins in the South American and European tobacco operations.

Cost of sales and expenses for the flower operations increased 3.2% in the 
three month period ended March 31, 1996 over the corresponding period in 1995. 
The Company's gross margin for flower operations improved to 10.9% for the 
three month period ended March 31, 1996 from 10.2% for the corresponding 
period in 1995, due to higher margins at Baardse.

Corporate expenses increased $2.0 million, or 78.2%, for the three month 
period ended March 31, 1996 from the corresponding period in 1995, primarily 
due to restructuring charges and increased personnel costs.
 
Other income, interest and sundry, decreased $1.1 million, or 21.2%, for the 
three month period ended March 31, 1996 from the corresponding period in 1995.
Interest income decreased $.9 million due to decreased interest income on 
advances on purchases of tobacco.

Other deductions, primarily interest expense, decreased $1.9 million, or 14.7%, 
for the three month period ended March 31, 1996 from the corresponding period in
1995.  Interest expense decreased $.9 million, due to decreased average interest
rates and lower average short-term borrowings.  Sundry deductions decreased $.9 
million due to decreased exchange losses on non-operational assets in Africa and
Brazil.

The effective tax rate decreased to 40.0% for the three month period ended March
31, 1996 from 49.4% for the corresponding period in 1995, based on estimates of
taxable income projected for each year.  The higher effective tax rate in 1995 
was due to tax and monetary regulations in Brazil.  

Equity in net loss of the tobacco investee companies decreased slightly for the
three month period ended March 31, 1996 from the corresponding period in 1995.
The loss of $433,000 due to the sale of a Brazilian investee in fiscal year 
1996 was almost totally offset by the income of $383,000 due to the sales of 
an investee in Malawi in fiscal year 1995.

billion in the corresponding period in 1995.  The increase in tobacco sales 
was due to higher average prices and increased quantities of foreign grown 
tobacco and increased service revenues from U.S. tobacco, partially offset by 
lower average prices for U.S. grown tobacco.  The increase in average prices 
for foreign grown tobacco, increased quantities of foreign grown tobacco, and 
increased service revenues accounted for $78.2 million, $47.1 million, and 
$42.7 million of the increase in tobacco revenues, respectively, offset by a 
$67.6 million decrease due to lower average prices for U.S. grown tobacco.  
The increased foreign tobacco sales were primarily the result of higher 
tobacco sales in Africa and Europe.

Net sales from flower operations increased 3.8%, from $286.1 million in the 
nine month period ended March 31, 1995 to $296.9 million for the nine month 
period ended March 31, 1996.  This increase in flower sales was primarily due 
to the effects of applying U.S. dollar exchange rates to the European flower 
operations.

Cost of sales and expenses, including selling, general and administrative 
expenses and restructuring and merger related costs  for the nine month 
period ended March 31, 1996 were $1.589  billion, an increase of 6.0% from 
$1.499 billion for the nine month period ended March 31, 1995.  This increase 
included $5.6 million in restructuring charges in the nine month period ended 
March 31, 1996.  Cost of sales and expenses for the tobacco operations 
increased 6.6% in the nine month period ended March 31, 1996 over the 
corresponding period in 1995, primarily due to the higher net sales in the 
period of tobacco grown in Africa and Europe.  The gross profit for the 
tobacco operations increased 31.2% for the nine month period ended March 31, 
1996 over the corresponding period in 1995, primarily due to increased sales 
and gross margins on the operations in Europe and increased gross margins for 
the operations in South America and Africa.  The Company's gross margin for 
tobacco operations improved to 11.1% for the nine month period ended March 31, 
1996 from 9.2% for the corresponding period in 1995, due to higher gross 
margins in the U.S. and Brazilian tobacco operations.

Cost of sales and expenses for the flower operations increased 1.9% in the 
nine month period ended March 31, 1996 over the corresponding period in 1995 
primarily due to increased sales. The Company's gross margin for flower 
operations improved to 10.3% for the nine month period ended March 31, 1996

from 9.5% for the corresponding period in 1995, due to lower costs in the 
European flower operations.

Corporate expenses increased $5.4 million, or 68.0%, for the nine month period 
ended March 31, 1996 from the corresponding period in 1995, primarily due to 
increased bonuses accrued, professional expenses, and costs related to 
revolving credit facilities and restructuring costs related to severance 
which will reduce the number of employees on the corporate staff.
 
Other income, interest and sundry, increased $5.3 million, or 47.7%, for the 
nine month period ended March 31, 1996 from the corresponding period in 1995, 
primarily due to the increase in sundry income.  The increase in sundry 
income is primarily due to the tobacco operations and the $3.7 million gain 
on the sale of its 50% interest in an unconsolidated Brazilian affiliate.

Other deductions, primarily interest expense, increased $3.7 million, or 
10.5%, for the nine month period ended March 31, 1996 from the corresponding 
period in 1995.  Interest expense increased $3.9 million, primarily due to 
increased average short-term borrowings.

The effective tax rate decreased to 40.0% for the nine month period ended 
March 31, 1996 from 54.1% for the corresponding period in 1995, based on 
estimates of taxable income projected for each year.  The higher effective 
tax rate in 1995 was due to tax and monetary regulations in Brazil.  


Equity in net loss of the tobacco investee companies decreased $.8 million, 
or 74.1%, for the nine month period ended March 31, 1996 from the 
corresponding period in 1995.  The decrease is primarily due to the Company's 
investee in Brazil which was sold during fiscal 1996.




Financial Condition:

The purchasing and processing activities of the Company's tobacco business 
are seasonal.  The Company's need for capital fluctuates accordingly and, at 
any of several seasonal peaks, the Company's outstanding indebtedness may be 
significantly greater or lesser than at year end.  The Company historically 
has needed capital in excess of cash flow from operations to finance inventory

and accounts receivable and, more recently, to finance acquisitions of 
foreign tobacco operations and flower operations.  The Company also 
prefinances tobacco crops in certain foreign countries by making cash 
advances to farmers prior to and during the growing season.

The Company's working capital increased from $277.6 million at June 30, 
1995 to $298.8 million at March 31, 1996.  The current ratio
of 1.6 to 1 at June 30, 1995 increased to 1.8 to 1 at March 31, 1996 as 
current liabilities decreased at a higher percentage than the percentage 
decrease of current assets.  The decreases in the individual components of 
current assets and current liabilities reflect a  seasonal decrease in the 
level of tobacco operations.  Current assets decreased primarily due to the 
decreases in tobacco inventories of $66.9 million and in Prepaid expenses of 
$19.3 million, partially offset by increases in Trade receivables of $13.2 
million and Advances on purchase of tobacco of $30.1 million. Current 
liabilities decreased primarily due to the decrease in Notes payable to 
banks of $132.4 million, partially offset by increases in Accounts payable 
other of $27.6 million and in Advances from customers of $27.4 million.  
Tobacco inventories decreased due primarily to the seasonal decrease in the 
operations in the U.S.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased to $12.1 million at March 31,  1996.  Cash
flows provided by operating activities increased $42.8 million to $146.5 million
in the nine months ended March 31, 1996 over the same period last year, 
primarily due to decreased advances from customers, increased accounts payable 
and increased net income, offset partially by decreased inventories and 
advances on purchases of tobacco as a result of the increased sales.  Cash 
flows used by investing activities increased $7.5 million to $9.5 million  
primarily due to decreased payments on notes receivable and receivables from 
investees and the purchase of subsidiary, offset partially by increased 
proceeds from advances.  Cash flows used by financing activities increased 
$109.0 million to $164.3 million due primarily to the increased repayment of
debt and by the decreased proceeds from debt.

At March 31, 1996, the Company had seasonally adjusted lines of credit of 
$876.4 million, excluding long-term credit agreements.  At March 31, 1996, 
unused lines of credit amounted to $613.2 million, net of $162.0 million of 
letters of credit and guarantees that reduce lines of credit.  Total maximum 
outstanding borrowings during the nine  months ended March 31, 1996, were 
$745.4 million.

DIMON began implementation of a refinancing plan during the quarter designed 
to reduce its leverage, reduce its dependence on short-term lines of credit 
and diversify its sources of debt financing (the "Refinancing Plan").  As 
described more fully below, as of March 31, 1996, the Company had 
completed:  (I) the call for redemption and subsequent conversion into

common stock of substantially all of its $54.3 million 7 3/4% Convertible 
Subordinated Debentures due 2006 and (ii) the execution of a new $240  
million revolving credit facility to replace its existing facility.  The 
Company expects to refinance a portion of its current short-term borrowings 
with long-term debt in May 1996.

To ensure long-term liquidity, the Company entered into a $240 million credit 
facility (the "New Credit Facility") on March 15, 1996.  The New Credit 
Facility replaced the Company's $250 million former credit facility (the 
"Former Credit Facility").  The Company did not borrow under the Former 
Credit Facility, but used it to reclassify $250 million of short-term debt 
to long-term debt.  The Company generally uses the New Credit Facility to 
reclassify similarly $240 million of its short-term debt.  The interest rates 
available under the New Credit Facility depend on the type of advance selected 
and are based either on the agent bank's base lending rate (which was 8.25% 
at March 25, 1996) and is adjusted with changes in interest rates generally 
or LIBOR plus .75%, through March 15, 1997, and thereafter plus a spread of 
 .45% to 1.25% based on the ratings assigned to the Company's outstanding 
senior debt or on its consolidated interest coverage ratio.  The New Credit 
Facility is subject to certain commitment fees and covenants that among other 
things require the Company to maintain minimum working capital and tangible 
net worth amounts, require specific liquidity and long-term solvency ratios 
and restrict acquisitions and, under certain circumstances, payment of 
dividends by the Company.  The New Credit Facility terminates on March 15, 
1998, but may be extended thereafter, year to year, upon approval of the 
Lenders.  As of March 31, 1996, there were no borrowings outstanding under 
the New Credit Facility.

On February 9, 1996, the Company called for redemption on March 11, 1996, all 
of the Company's $54.3 million of 7 3/4% Convertible Subordinated Debentures 
due 2006 (the "Debentures").  As of March 4, 1996, holders of Debentures had 
converted approximately 99.85% of the Debentures into 4,035,969 shares of 
Common Stock.  The remaining Debentures were redeemed on March 11, 1996 for 
$89,188.  The Company funded the redemption price for these debentures and 
expenses of the redemption from working capital.

The Company has historically financed it operations through a combination of 
short-term lines of credit, customer advances, cash from operations and equity 
and equity-linked securities.  At March 31, 1996, the Company had no material 
capital expenditure commitments.  The Company believes that these sources of 
funds combined with the Refinancing Plan are sufficient to fund the Company's 
purchasing needs for the foreseeable future, including the remainder of fiscal 
1996 and fiscal 1997.

Restructuring Charges and Expenditures:

As a result of the April 1995 merger of Dibrell Brothers, Incorporated and 
Monk-Austin, Inc., the Company provided in fiscal year 1995 $17.9 million to 
complete the combination and rationalization of operations.  Additional 
restructuring charges of $5 million to $10 million were anticipated during 
fiscal 1996.  A total of $5.6 million in such charges have been taken in the 
first nine months of fiscal 1996, including $1.3 million relating to cost 
reductions in the U.S. headquarters of DIMON International and the 
consolidation of tobacco operations in Brazil and $1.5 million relating to 
cost reductions at the corporate headquarters.  Based on revised estimates 
of headcount reductions in Brazil and additional initiatives in other areas, 
the Company now expects that total restructuring charges during fiscal 1996 
will be between $12 and $15 million.  Cash expenditures against these reserves 
are occurring as planned.
