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, 2000 and 1999, and the related statements of changes in plan liability accounts for the years ended June 30, 2000 and 1999. 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, 2000 and 1999, and the changes in plan liability accounts for the years ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

DIMON INCORPORATED PERSONAL ACCOUNT PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

_________________________________

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

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.

Participation

Eligible employees may participate in the Plan. Eligibility is determined by the Administrator of the Plan.

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 6.52% and 5.96% per annum for the years ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, 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.

Plan Expenses

All expenses of administering the Plan are paid by DIMON Incorporated.

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.

The number of participants at June 30, 2000 and 1999, was 91 and 107, 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.
