                REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS


To the Plan Administrator
DIMON Incorporated Personal Account Plan

We have audited the accompanying statements of asset and liability of the 
DIMON Incorporated Personal Account Plan as of June 30, 1996 and 
December 31, 1995, and the related statements of changes in plan liability 
accounts for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and the year ended 
December 31, 1995.  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.  The 1994 financial statement was 
reported on by other auditors whose report dated March 2, 1995, expressed 
an unqualified opinion on those statements.

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 asset and liability of DIMON Incorporated 
Personal Account Plan at June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, and the 
changes in plan liability accounts for the six months ended June 30, 1996 
and the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 in conformity with generally 
accepted accounting principles.

                NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

           DIMON INCORPORATED PERSONAL ACCOUNT PLAN

Note A - Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting

The accounting records of the Plan are maintained on the accrual basis.

Valuation of Investment

The receivable from DIMON Incorporated is valued at fair value.  Fair value 
represents contributions, plus interest at the announced rate, less payments 
in satisfaction of withdrawals.

Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted 
accounting principals requires the Plan Administrator to make estimates and 
assumptions that affect reported amounts and disclosures.  Accordingly, 
actual results may differ from those estimates.

Note B - Description of the Plan

The following description of the DIMON Incorporated Personal Account Plan 
(the "Plan") is provided for general information purposes only.  Participants 
should refer to the Plan agreement for more complete information.

General

The Plan is a voluntary employee plan through which any eligible participant 
can loan funds to DIMON Incorporated ("DIMON") for an indefinite period, in 
exchange for DIMON's obligation to pay employee interest on such funds until 
the loan is repaid by DIMON on the employee's demand.  The funds may be used 
by DIMON for any corporate purpose and will be classified as general 
obligations of DIMON with no special status.  The funds are not held in 
trust and are subject to forfeiture should DIMON be unable to repay the loans.

The purpose of the Plan is to provide a means for employees to maintain a 
flexible deposit arrangement and to receive interest income at rates 
competitive with those currently paid by banks or other institutions on 
short-term deposits.  The Plan is not subject to the provisions of the 
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA").  Funds deposited 
with DIMON are neither guaranteed nor insured by DIMON nor any federal nor 
state agency.

           DIMON INCORPORATED PERSONAL ACCOUNT PLAN

Note B - Description of the Plan - Continued

Participation

Eligible employees and certain other persons may participate in the Plan.  
Eligibility is determined by the Administrator of the Plan.

Participant Contributions

Participants may contribute any amount to the Plan.  Limitations, however, 
may be announced as to the total of future contributions which can be made 
by the participants.

Investments

Upon receipt of the participants' contributions, amounts are invested with 
DIMON Incorporated as a general creditor with interest earned at announced 
rates.  The average announced rate was 6.29% per annum (based on a range of 
6.25% to 6.50%) during the six months ended June 30, 1996 (6.50% to 7.00% 
for the year ended December 31, 1995 and 5.00% to 6.75% for the year ended 
December 31, 1994).

Participants withdrawals

Participants may withdraw funds from the Plan at anytime upon notification 
to the Plan Administrator or his designee.  Amounts in participant accounts
must be distributed when the participant is no longer eligible to participate 
in the Plan.

Plan Liability Accounts

A plan liability account is a bookkeeping record that is used to reflect the 
participant's entitlement under the Plan.  Each plan liability account 
represents a claim on the assets of DIMON Incorporated.

Vesting

Each participant will at all times have a 100% vested (nonforfeitable) 
interest in the receivable from DIMON Incorporated as to their respective 
balances of their contributions, net of withdrawals, with earned interest.

Note B - Description of the Plan - Continued

Plan Expenses

All expenses of administering the Plan shall be paid by DIMON Incorporated.

Plan Termination

The Plan may be modified or terminated at any time upon written notice to the 
participants.  In the event the Plan terminates, the Administrator must 
distribute assets to satisfy all DIMON Incorporated obligations to the Plan.

Note C - Plan Participants 

The Number of participants at June 30, 1996 was 411 (December 31, 1995 - 439 
and December 31, 1994 - 484).

Note D - Income Tax Status

The Plan is not, and is not intended to be, qualified under Section 401 of 
the Internal Revenue Code.  Consequently, an application for a favorable 
determination has not been filed with the Internal Revenue Service.

The Plan is not intended to be funded for federal income tax purposes, that 
is, no funds or other assets are segregated for the purpose of paying 
benefits under the Plan.  All interest paid or credited to participant 
accounts is taxable to the participant for both Federal and State purposes, 
if applicable.

Note E - Plan Amendment

On March 31, 1995, the shareholders of Dibrell Brothers, Incorporated and 
Monk-Austin, Inc. approved the merger of the two companies into DIMON 
Incorporated effective April 1, 1995.  As a result, the Plan was amended 
effective December 31, 1995 to change the name from Dibrell Brothers, 
Incorporated Personal Account Plan to DIMON Incorporated Personal Account 
Plan and the plan year was amended to mean the twelve month period beginning 
July 1, through June 30.
