------------------------
The information in this report (including the exhibit) is furnished pursuant to
Item 9 and shall not be deemed "filed" for the purposes of Section 18 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the
liabilities of that Section. The furnishing of this report is not intended to

DIMON regards any information provided in the press release to be current and

duty to update such information unless it is necessary to do so in accordance
with applicable law.
This press release contains "forward-looking statements" as defined in the

uncertainties include changes in the timing of anticipated shipments, changes in
anticipated geographic product sourcing, political instability in sourcing
locations, currency and interest rate fluctuations, shifts in the global supply
and demand position for the Company's tobacco products, and the impact of
regulation and litigation on the Company's customers. A further list and
description of these risks, uncertainties and other factors can be found in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002 and
