       The aggregate market value of Common Stock held by non-affiliates
  of the registrant (based upon the closing sale price quoted by The New
  York Stock Exchange) on September 20, 1999, was approximately
  $169,461,000.  In determining this figure, the registrant has assumed
  that all of its directors and officers, and all persons known to it
  to beneficially own ten percent or more of its Common Stock, are
  affiliates.  This assumption shall not be deemed conclusive for any
  other purpose.

  Stock outstanding.

       DIMON Incorporated ("DIMON") is amending its annual report
  on Form 10-K filed September 28, 1999 by replacing Note K in
  Item 8 with the following text, amending the description of
  DIMON's Directors' Stock Plan.

  ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA (continued)
          -------------------------------------------------------
  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
  DIMON Incorporated and Subsidiaries
  (in thousands)

  Note K - Stock Incentive Plan
  -----------------------------
  At the 1995 Special Meeting of Stockholders, shareholders
  approved the DIMON Incorporated Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan (the
  Incentive Plan).
       The Incentive Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 2
  million shares of common stock (subject to increase annually by
  3% of the number of shares of common stock issued during such
  year, other than pursuant to the Incentive Plan). The Incentive
  Plan authorizes the issuance of various stock incentives to key
  employees of the Company or any subsidiary, including
  nonqualified or incentive stock options, stock appreciation
  rights and shares of restricted stock.
       Stock options granted under the Incentive Plan allow for the
  purchase of common stock at prices determined at the time the
  option is granted by a committee composed of independent
  directors (the Committee).  Stock appreciation rights (SARs) may
  be granted under the Incentive Plan in relation to option grants
  or independently of option grants. SARs generally entitle the
  participant to receive in cash the excess of the fair market
  value of a share of common stock on the date of exercise over
  the value of the SAR at the date of grant. Restricted stock is
  common stock that is both nontransferable and forfeitable unless
  and until certain conditions are satisfied. As of June 30, 1999,
  no restricted stock had been awarded under the Incentive Plan.
  No awards may be granted under the Incentive Plan after
  February 8, 2005.
       The options and SARs become exercisable on various dates as
  originally determined for the grants assumed by DIMON. Under the
  Incentive Plan, the Committee will determine the dates that the
  options and SARs become exercisable.
       At the 1998 Annual Stockholders' Meeting, shareholders
  approved the DIMON Incorporated Directors' Stock Plan (the
  "Directors' Plan") , which replaced the existing Nonemployee
  Directors' Stock Option Plan effective January 1, 1999. The
  Directors' Plan is administered by the Executive Committee of the
  Board of Directors, with all grants approved by the Board.  The
  Directors' Plan authorizes the grant of common stock, performance
  shares and options to purchase common stock to any director who
  is not an employee of the Company (or any subsidiary) and any
  person who provides services to the Company (or any subsidiary)
  in a capacity other than as an employee if the Executive
  Committee, with the approval of the Board, determines that such
  person has contributed significantly or can be expected to
  contribute significantly to the profits or growth of the Company.
  Any 1999 grants under the Directors' Plan will be awarded at the
  meeting of the DIMON Board following the 1999 annual meeting of
  the shareholders of DIMON. The option price will be equal to the
  fair market value of DIMON common stock on the date of grant. The
  maximum number of shares to be issued under the Directors' Plan
  is 70 thousand shares. Options granted under the Directors' Plan
  are immediately exercisable. As of June 30, 1999, no options had
  been granted under the Directors' Plan and options to purchase 27
  thousand shares had been granted under the Nonemployee Directors'
  Stock Option Plan.
       The Company accounts for the costs of SARs as compensation
  charges to the income statement with quarterly adjustments for
  market price fluctuations. All other options are treated as
  equivalent shares outstanding. There was a $2,816 credit to
  income in 1998 and a $2,142 charge to income in 1997 arising from
  adjustments in fair market values of the SARs.
       As permitted by SFAS No. 123, the Company has elected to
  continue to account for stock-based compensation in accordance with
  APB No. 25. If the Company had elected to recognize compensation
  cost based on the fair value of the options granted at grant date
  as prescribed by SFAS No. 123, net income (loss) and per share
  amounts based on
