                    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, 1999 and
  1998, and the related statements of changes in plan liability accounts
  for the years ended June 30, 1999 and 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 asset and liability of DIMON
  Incorporated Personal Account Plan at June 30, 1999 and 1998, and the
  changes in plan liability accounts for the years ended June 30, 1999
  and 1998, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

               DIMON INCORPORATED PERSONAL ACCOUNT PLAN

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                        ----------------------


  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 the
  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 or state agency.

  Note B - Description of the Plan - Continued
  --------------------------------------------

  Participation
  -------------
  Eligible employees 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 announced rate was an average rate of 5.96% and
  6.50% per annum for the years ended June 30, 1999 and 1998,
  respectively.

  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 an obligation 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 are 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 funds to satisfy all DIMON Incorporated
  obligations to the Plan.

  Note C - Plan Participants
  --------------------------
  The number of participants at June 30, 1999 and 1998, was 107 and 117,
  respectively.

  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.
