NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

Because of the seasonal nature of the Company’s business, the results of operations for any fiscal quarter will not necessarily be indicative of results to be expected for other quarters or a full fiscal year. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of financial position, results of operation and cash flows at the dates and for the periods presented have been included. Included in Operating Income for the six months ended September 30, 2013 is a pretax charge of approximately $11,000 primarily resulting from reducing the estimate for recoveries of advances to tobacco suppliers in Zambia. The unaudited information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013.

Taxes Collected from Customers

Certain subsidiaries are subject to value added taxes on local sales. These amounts have been included in sales and cost of sales and were $3,431 and $3,975 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively and $10,962 and $9,122 for the six months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Other Deferred Charges

Other deferred charges are primarily deferred financing costs that are amortized over the life of the debt.

New Accounting Standards

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

On April 1, 2013, the Company adopted new accounting guidance, as amended, on disclosures about offsetting assets and liabilities. The guidance enhances disclosures of the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on an entity's financial position and is applicable to derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending that are offset or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. The Company adopted this new accounting guidance with no material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.

On April 1, 2013, the Company adopted new accounting guidance to improve the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. Companies are required to report the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective line items in net income when reclassified to net income in its entirety. If amounts are not reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period, cross-reference to other disclosures is required to provide additional detail about those amounts. The Company adopted this new accounting guidance with no material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued new accounting guidance on the financial presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. The primary objective of this accounting guidance is to reduce diversity in financial presentations resulting from a current lack of guidance on this topic. An unrecognized tax benefit should be presented as a reduction in a deferred tax asset for a NOL or tax credit carryforward whenever the NOL or tax credit carryforward would be available to reduce the additional taxable income or tax due if the tax position is disallowed. This accounting guidance is effective for the Company on April 1, 2014. The Company currently reports its applicable unrecognized tax benefits in accordance with this guidance and therefore, does not expect the impact of this new accounting guidance to have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.

2. INCOME TAXES

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes

As of September 30, 2013, the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits totaled $8,065, all of which would impact the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. As of September 30, 2013, accrued interest and penalties totaled $840 and $1,210 respectively.

The Company expects to continue accruing interest expense related to the unrecognized tax benefits described above. Additionally, the Company may be subject to fluctuations in the unrecognized tax liability due to currency exchange rate movements.

The Company does not foresee any reasonably possible changes in the unrecognized tax benefits in the next twelve months but acknowledges circumstances can change due to unexpected developments in the law. In certain jurisdictions, tax authorities have challenged positions that the Company has taken that resulted in recognizing benefits that are material to its financial statements. The Company believes it is more likely than not that it will prevail in these situations and accordingly has not recorded liabilities for these positions. The Company expects the challenged positions to be settled at a time greater than twelve months from its balance sheet date.

The Company and its subsidiaries file a U.S. federal consolidated income tax return as well as returns in several U.S. states and a number of foreign jurisdictions. As of September 30, 2013, the Company’s earliest open tax year for U.S. federal income tax purposes was its fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. Open tax years in state and foreign jurisdictions generally range from three to six years.

Provision for the Six Months Ended September 30, 2013

The effective tax rate used for the six months ended September 30, 2013 was (15.5)% compared to 3,969.8% for the six months ended September 30, 2012. The effective tax rates for these periods are based on the current estimate of full year results including the effect of taxes related to discrete events which are recorded in the interim period in which they occur. The Company expects the tax rate for the year ended March 31, 2014 to be (119.6)% after absorption of discrete items.

For the six months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recorded a discrete event adjustment expense of $6,722, bringing the effective tax rate estimated for the six months of (6.2)% to (15.5)%. This discrete event adjustment expense relates primarily to net exchange losses on income tax accounts and net exchange gains related to liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits. For the six months ended September 30, 2012 , the Company recorded a discrete event adjustment expense of $913, bringing the effective tax rate estimated for the six months of 3,694.0% to 3,969.8%. This discrete event adjustment expense relates primarily to increases in net exchange losses on income tax accounts and an adjustment to the valuation allowance related to resolution of a prior period uncertain tax position; and decreases due to the expiration of an assessment period local country administrative practice pertaining to an international unrecognized tax benefit and the release of a U.S. uncertain tax position effectively settled upon completion of a tax examination of a prior year. The significant difference in the estimated effective tax rate for the six months ended September 30, 2013 from the U.S. federal statutory rate is primarily due to net exchange losses on income tax accounts, foreign income tax rates lower than the U.S. rate and certain losses for which no benefit is currently recorded.

3. GUARANTEES

The Company and certain of its foreign subsidiaries guarantee bank loans to suppliers to finance their crops. Under longer-term arrangements, the Company may also guarantee financing on suppliers’ construction of curing barns or other tobacco production assets. Guaranteed loans are generally repaid concurrent with the delivery of tobacco to the Company. The Company is obligated to repay any guaranteed loan should the supplier default. If default occurs, the Company has recourse against the supplier. The Company also guarantees bank loans of certain unconsolidated subsidiaries in Asia and Zimbabwe.

The following table summarizes amounts guaranteed and the fair value of those guarantees:



	September 30, 2013		September 30, 2012		March 31, 2013
Amounts guaranteed (not to exceed)	$	126,608	$	117,928	$	125,623
Amounts outstanding under guarantee	121,634		112,227		98,689
Fair value of guarantees	6,023		9,489		6,367

Of the guarantees outstanding at September 30, 2013, all expire within one year. The fair value of guarantees is recorded in Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and included in crop costs except for Zimbabwe which is included in Accounts Receivable, Related Parties.

3. GUARANTEES (continued)

In Brazil, certain suppliers obtain government subsidized rural credit financing from local banks that is guaranteed by the Company. The Company withholds amounts owed to suppliers related to the rural credit financing of the supplier upon delivery of tobacco to the Company. The Company remits payments to the local banks on behalf of the guaranteed suppliers. Terms of rural credit financing are such that repayment is due to local banks based on contractual due dates. As of September 30, 2013 and 2012 and March 31, 2013, respectively, the Company had balances of $3,200, $1,979 and $45,843 that were due to local banks on behalf of suppliers. These amounts are included in Accounts Payable in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

4. RESTRUCTURING AND ASSET IMPAIRMENT CHARGES

The Company previously implemented several strategic initiatives in response to shifts in supply and demand balances and changing business models of its customers. These initiatives were substantially complete at March 31, 2013. The Company continues to focus on improving factory efficiencies and other core components of its business. As part of this focus, the Company agreed to a joint processing venture in one of its foreign locations during the three months ended June 30, 2013. As a result, the Company recorded pretax charges of $1,893 in connection with the reduction in workforce including the effect on the Company's defined benefit pension plans of $1,261. An asset impairment charge of $303 was recorded for certain processing equipment in connection with the new venture. During the three months ended September 30, 2013, employee separation charges of $580 were incurred as the Company continues to respond to changes in its business.

The following table summarizes the restructuring charges recorded in the Company’s reporting segments during the three months and six months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively:

5. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLES

Goodwill represents costs in excess of fair values assigned to the underlying net assets of acquired businesses. Goodwill is not subject to amortization, but rather is tested for impairment annually or whenever events and circumstances indicate that an impairment may have occurred. The Company has chosen the first day of the last quarter of its fiscal year as the date to perform its annual goodwill impairment test.

The Company has no intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. It does have intangible assets which are amortized. The following table summarizes the changes in the Company’s goodwill and other intangibles for the three months and six months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012:



			Amortizable Intangibles

6. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

The Company holds variable interests in four joint ventures that are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. These joint ventures procure inventory on behalf of the Company and the other joint venture partners. The variable interests relate to equity investments and advances made by the Company to the joint ventures. In addition, the Company also guarantees one of its joint venture’s borrowings which also represents a variable interest in that joint venture. The Company is not the primary beneficiary, as it does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the entities as a result of the entities’ management and board of directors structure. Therefore, these entities are not consolidated. At September 30, 2013 and 2012, and March 31, 2013, the Company’s investment in these joint ventures was $23,462, $23,023, and $23,986, respectively and is classified as Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company’s advances to these joint ventures were $3,009 at September 30, 2012 and are classified as Accounts Receivable, Related Parties in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. There were no advances at September 30, 2013 and March 31, 2013. The Company guaranteed an amount to a joint venture not to exceed $18,418, $19,611 and $19,363 at September 30, 2013 and 2012, and March 31, 2013, respectively. The investments, advances and guarantee in these joint ventures represent the Company’s maximum exposure to loss.

7. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company purchases, processes, sells and stores leaf tobacco. Tobacco is purchased in more than 35 countries and shipped to approximately 90 countries. The sales, logistics and billing functions of the Company are primarily concentrated in service centers outside of the producing areas to facilitate access to its major customers. Within certain quality and grade constraints, tobacco is fungible and, subject to these constraints, customers may choose to fulfill their needs from any of the areas where the Company purchases tobacco.

Selling, logistics, billing, and administrative overhead, including depreciation, which originates primarily from the Company’s corporate and sales offices, are allocated to the segments based upon segment operating income. The Company reviews performance data from the purchase of the product or the service provided through sale based on the source of the product or service and all intercompany transactions are allocated to the operating segment that either purchases or processes the tobacco.

The following table presents the summary segment information for the three months and six months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012:

8. EARNINGS PER SHARE

The weighted average number of common shares outstanding is reported as the weighted average of the total shares of common stock outstanding net of shares of common stock held by a wholly owned subsidiary. Shares of common stock owned by the subsidiary were 7,853 at September 30, 2013 and 2012. This subsidiary waives its right to receive dividends and it does not have the right to vote.

Certain potentially dilutive options were not included in the computation of earnings per diluted share because their exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the shares of common stock during the period and their effect would be antidilutive. These shares totaled 6,888 at a weighted average exercise price of $6.04 per share at September 30, 2013 and 7,189 at a weighted average exercise price of $6.01 per share at September 30, 2012.

In connection with the offering of the Company’s 5 ½% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014, issued on July 2, 2009 (the “Convertible Notes”), the Company entered into privately negotiated convertible note hedge transactions (the “convertible note hedge transactions”) equal to the number of shares that underlie the Company’s Convertible Notes. These convertible note hedge transactions are expected to reduce the potential dilution of the Company’s common stock upon conversion of the Convertible Notes in the event that the value per share of common stock exceeds the initial conversion price of $5.0280 per share. These shares were not included in the computation of earnings per diluted share because their inclusion would be antidilutive.

The following table summarizes the computation of earnings per share for the three months and six months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

* Assumed conversion of convertible notes at the beginning of the period has an antidilutive effect on earnings per share. All outstanding restricted shares and shares applicable to stock options and restricted stock units are excluded because their inclusion would have an antidilutive effect on the loss per share.
** For the three months and six months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the warrants were not assumed exercised because the exercise price was more than the average price for the periods presented.

9. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense related to stock-based awards granted under its various employee and non-employee stock incentive plans of $1,007 and $672 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively and $1,712 and $3,297 for the six months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

9. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION (continued)

The Company’s shareholders approved amendments to the 2007 Incentive Plan (the “2007 Plan”) at its Annual Meeting of Shareholders on August 11, 2011 and August 6, 2009. The 2007 Plan is an omnibus plan that provides the flexibility to grant a variety of equity awards including stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards, stock units, performance awards and incentive awards to officers, directors and employees of the Company.

During the six months ended September 30, 2012, 3,350 stock-based compensation awards for stock options were granted. No stock options were granted during the three months and six months ended September 30, 2013.

Assumptions used to determine the fair value of options issued during the six months ended September 30, 2012 include the following:



	Six Months Ended September 30, 2012
Grant Price	$	3.50
Exercise Price	$	6.00
Expected Term in Years	6 to 6.5 years
Expected Volatility	60.4% to 61.0%
Weighted Average Volatility	60.9		%

During the three months and six months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, the Company made the following stock-based compensation awards:



	Three Months Ended September 30,				Six Months Ended September 30,
(in thousands, except grant date fair value)	2013		2012		2013		2012

10. CONTINGENCIES AND OTHER INFORMATION

Non-Income Tax

The government in the Brazilian State of Parana (“Parana”) issued a tax assessment on October 26, 2007 with respect to local intrastate trade tax credits that result primarily from tobacco transferred between states within Brazil. The assessment for intrastate trade tax credits taken is $5,908 and the total assessment including penalties and interest at September 30, 2013 is $15,323. The Company believes it has properly complied with Brazilian law and will contest any assessment through the judicial process. Should the Company lose in the judicial process, the loss of the intrastate trade tax credits would have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company.

The Company also has local intrastate trade tax credits in the Brazilian State of Santa Catarina. This jurisdiction permits the sale or transfer of excess credits to third parties, however approval must be obtained from the tax authorities. The Company has an agreement with the state government regarding the amounts and timing of credits that can be sold. The tax credits have a carrying value of $13,075 at September 30, 2013, which is net of impairment charges based on management’s expectations about future realization. The intrastate trade tax credits will continue to be monitored for impairment in future periods based on market conditions and the Company’s ability to use or sell the tax credits.

10. CONTINGENCIES AND OTHER INFORMATION (continued)

Non-Income Tax (continued)

In 1969, the Brazilian government created a tax credit program that allowed companies to earn IPI tax credits (“IPI credits”) based on the value of their exports. The government began to phase out this program in 1979, which resulted in numerous lawsuits between taxpayers and the Brazilian government. The Company has a long legal history with respect to credits it earned while the IPI credit program was in effect. In 2001, the Company won a claim related to certain IPI credits it earned between 1983 and 1990. The Brazilian government appealed this decision and numerous rulings and appeals were rendered on behalf of both the government and the Company from 2001 through 2013. Because of this favorable ruling, the Company began to use these earned IPI credits to offset federal taxes in 2004 and 2005, until it received a Judicial Order to suspend the IPI offsetting in 2005. The value of the federal taxes offset in 2004 and 2005 was $24,142 and the Company established a reserve on these credits at the time of offsetting as they were not yet realizable due to the legal uncertainty that existed. Specifically, the Company extinguished other federal tax liabilities using IPI credits and recorded a liability in Pension, Postretirement and Other Long-Term Liabilities to reflect that the credits were not realizable at that time due to the prevalent legal uncertainty. On March 7, 2013, the Brazilian Supreme Court rendered a final decision in favor of the Company that recognized the validity of the IPI credits and secured the Company's right to benefit from the IPI credits earned from March 1983 to October 1990. This final decision expressly stated the Company has the right to the IPI credits. The Company estimated the total amount of the IPI credits to be approximately $94,316 at March 31, 2013. Since the March 2013 ruling definitively (without the government's ability to appeal) granted the Company the ownership of the IPI credits generated between 1983 and 1990 the Company believed the amount of IPI credits that were used to offset other federal taxes in 2004 and 2005 were realizable beyond a reasonable doubt. Accordingly, and at March 31, 2013, the Company recorded the $24,142 IPI credits it realized in the Statements of Consolidated Operations in Other Income. No further benefit has been recognized pending the outcome of the judicial procedure to ascertain the final amount as those amounts have not yet been

realized.

Other

In October 2001, the Directorate General for Competition of the European Commission (“EC”) began an administrative investigation into certain tobacco buying and selling practices alleged to have occurred within the leaf tobacco industry in some countries within the European Union, including Spain and Italy. In respect of these investigations, in 2004 and 2005 the EC announced the assessment of fines against the Company and its Spanish and Italian subsidiaries. With respect to both the Spanish and Italian investigations, the fines imposed on the Company and its predecessors and subsidiaries were part of fines assessed on several participants in the applicable industry. The Company, along with its applicable subsidiaries, lodged several appeals against the EC decisions with the European Court of Justice (the “ECJ”). The majority of these appeals have previously been resolved, and the remaining two appeals with respect to these matters concluded during the quarter ended September 30, 2013, with the ECJ denying, on September 26, 2013, the appeals in cases C-679/11 P and C-668/11 relating to a Spanish subsidiary and the Company’s joint and several parent company liability. The Company previously fully recognized the impact of these fines and had previously paid the fines as part of the appeal process.

Mindo, S.r.l., the purchaser in 2004 of the Company's Italian subsidiary Dimon Italia, S.r.l., has asserted claims against a subsidiary of the Company arising out of that sale transaction in an action filed before the Court of Rome on April 12, 2007. The claim, allegedly arising from a guaranty letter issued by a consolidated subsidiary of the Company in connection with the sale transaction, seeks the recovery of €7,377 (US$9,974) plus interest and costs. A hearing for the disposition of this matter was held in December 2011 and the court's ruling is pending. Due to the uncertain legal interpretation in a foreign jurisdiction and the complexity of the matter, the Company is not able to reasonably estimate the outcome.

In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the Company records all known asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) for which the liability can be reasonably estimated. Currently, it has identified an ARO associated with one of its facilities that requires it to restore the land to its initial condition upon vacating the facility. The Company has not recognized a liability under generally accepted accounting principles for this ARO because the fair value of restoring the land at this site cannot be reasonably estimated since the settlement date is unknown at this time. The settlement date is unknown because the land restoration is not required until title is returned to the government, and the Company has no current or future plans to return the title. The Company will recognize a liability in the period in which sufficient information is available to reasonably estimate its fair value.

11. DEBT ARRANGEMENTS

During the three months ended September 30, 2013, the Company completed certain refinancing transactions, which are described below.

Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility

On August 1, 2013, the agreement governing the Company's senior secured revolving credit facility was amended and restated to provide for a senior secured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks of approximately $303,900 that will automatically reduce to approximately $210,300 on April 15, 2014 and will mature in April 15, 2017, subject to a springing maturity on April 15, 2014 if by that date the Company has not deposited in the Blocked Account (as defined below) sufficient amounts to fund the repayment at maturity of all then outstanding 5½% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014 of the Company (the “Convertible Notes”). Borrowings under the amended and restated senior secured revolving credit facility initially bear interest at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 3.75% and base rate plus 2.75%, as applicable, though the interest rate under the amended and restated senior secured revolving credit facility is subject to increase or decrease according to the Company's consolidated interest coverage ratio.

The agreement governing the amended and restated senior secured revolving credit facility requires the Company to deposit with the lenders, in a segregated account that the Company may not use other than for specified purposes (the “Blocked Account”), the net proceeds from the sale of $735,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Company's 9.875% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2021 (the “Second Lien Notes”) that are not immediately applied to redeem all of the Company's outstanding 10% Senior Notes due 2016 (the “Senior Notes”). Amounts held in the Blocked Account may be used solely to purchase any and all Convertible Notes tendered in the Company's cash tender offer to purchase up to $60,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes commenced on July 17, 2013 (the “Convertible Notes Tender Offer”) and, subject to conditions, to retire any remaining Convertible Notes not purchased in the Convertible Notes Tender Offer, including repayment at maturity. All amounts deposited in the Blocked Account from the net proceeds of the sale of the Second Lien Notes were applied to the purchase of Convertible Notes in the Convertible Notes Tender Offer. Borrowings under the amended and restated senior secured revolving credit facility are secured by a first priority lien on specified property of the Company, including the capital stock of specified subsidiaries, all U.S. accounts receivable, certain U.S. inventory, intercompany notes evidencing loans or advances, certain U.S. fixed assets and the Blocked Account.

Financial covenants. The following financial covenants and required financial ratios are included in the agreement governing the amended and restated senior secured revolving credit facility:


•	a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio specified for each fiscal quarter of 2014 and 1.90 to 1.00 thereafter, which ratio is 1.80 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2013;


•	a maximum consolidated leverage ratio specified for each fiscal quarter, which ratio is 7.80 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2013;


•	a maximum consolidated total senior debt to working capital ratio of not more than 0.80 to 1.00 other than during periods in which the consolidated leverage ratio is less than 4.00 to 1.00 if the consolidated leverage ratio has been less than 4.00 to 1.00 for the prior two consecutive fiscal quarters; and


•	a maximum amount of the Company's annual capital expenditures of approximately $50,800 during the fiscal year ending March 31, 2014 and $40,000 during any fiscal year thereafter, in each case with a one-year carry-forward (not in excess of $40,000) for unused capital expenditures in any fiscal year below the maximum amount.

Certain of these financial covenants are calculated on a rolling twelve-month basis and certain of these financial covenants and required financial ratios adjust over time in accordance with schedules in the agreement governing the amended and restated senior secured revolving credit facility.

Affirmative and restrictive covenants. The agreement governing the amended and restated senior secured revolving credit facility contains affirmative and negative covenants (subject, in each case, to exceptions and qualifications), including covenants that limit the Company's ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, incur certain guarantees, merge, consolidate or dispose of substantially all of its assets, grant liens on its assets, pay dividends, redeem stock or make other distributions or restricted payments, create certain dividend and payment restrictions on its subsidiaries, repurchase or redeem capital stock or prepay subordinated debt, make certain investments, agree to restrictions on the payment of dividends to it by its subsidiaries, sell or otherwise dispose of assets, including equity interests of its subsidiaries, enter into transactions with its affiliates, and enter into certain sale and leaseback transactions.

11. DEBT ARRANGEMENTS (continued)

Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility (continued)

At September 30, 2013, there were no borrowings under the amended and restated senior secured revolving credit facility. The Company continuously monitors its compliance with the covenants of its amended and restated senior secured revolving credit facility, its senior notes and its senior secured second lien notes. Significant changes in market conditions or other factors could adversely affect the Company's business and future debt covenant compliance thereunder. As a result, the Company may not be able to maintain compliance with the covenants over the next twelve months. If the Company were unable to maintain compliance with the covenants in the Amended and Restated Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility agreement, as amended from time-to-time, the Company would seek modification to the existing agreement to further amend covenants and extend maturities. If the Company were unable to obtain modification, in a scenario where it is required, the Company could decide to pay off outstanding amounts and terminate the agreement. In such case, the liquidity provided by the agreement would not be available and the Company believes that it has sufficient liquidity from operations and other available funding sources to meet future requirements.

As amended, the senior secured revolving credit facility restricts the Company from paying any dividends during the remaining term of the facility. In addition, the indenture governing the Company's senior notes contains similar restrictions and also prohibits the payment of dividends and other distributions if the Company fails to satisfy a ratio of consolidated EBITDA to fixed charges of at least 2.0 to 1.0. At September 30, 2013, the Company did not satisfy this fixed charge coverage ratio. The Company may from time to time not satisfy this ratio.

Senior Secured Second Lien Notes

On August 1, 2013, the Company issued $735,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Second Lien Notes. The Second Lien Notes were sold at 98% of the face value, for gross proceeds of approximately $720,300. The Second Lien Notes bear interest at a rate of 9.875% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears in cash on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning January 15, 2014, to holders of record at the close of business on the preceding January 1 and July 1, respectively. The Second Lien Notes will mature on July 15, 2021. The Second Lien Notes are secured by a second priority lien on specified property of Alliance One International, Inc. for which the amended and restated senior secured revolving credit facility holds the first priority lien. The indenture governing the Second Lien Notes restricts (subject to exceptions and qualifications) the Company's ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness or issue disqualified stock or preferred stock, pay dividends and make other restricted payments (including restricted investments), sell assets, create liens, consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets, enter into transactions with its affiliates, enter into certain sale and leaseback transactions, create certain dividend and payment restrictions on its restricted subsidiaries, and designate its subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries.

The indenture governing the Second Lien Notes requires the Company's existing and future material domestic subsidiaries to guarantee the Second Lien Notes. The Company has no material domestic subsidiaries, and the Second Lien Notes are not presently guaranteed by any subsidiary. If a change of control (as defined in the indenture governing the Second Lien Notes) occurs at any time, holders of the Second Lien Notes will have the right, at their option, to require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of the Second Lien Notes for cash at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of Second Lien Notes being repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest and special interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of repurchase. In connection with the issuance of the Second Lien Notes, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement that requires the Company to pay additional special interest on the Second Lien Notes, at increasing annual rates up to a maximum of 1.0% per year, if the Company fails to timely comply with its registration obligations thereunder.

Redemption of Existing Senior Notes

On August 2, 2013, the Company redeemed all $635,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Company's outstanding 10% Senior Notes due 2016 at a redemption price equal to 105% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and other costs of which $31,808 was charged to debt retirement expense. As a result of the redemption of the Senior Notes, the Company accelerated $6,095 of deferred financing costs and $14,612 of amortization of original issue discount during the three months ended September 30, 2013.

Partial Tender of Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes

On August 30, 2013, the Company purchased of $60,000 in aggregate principal amount of its existing $115,000 5 ½% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014 pursuant to a cash tender offer at a purchase price equal to $1.03 per $1.00 principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest and other costs of which $2,539 was charged to debt retirement expense. The Company funded the purchase with available cash and a portion of the net proceeds from the issuance of the $735,000 Second Lien Notes, which proceeds had been held in the Blocked Account. As a result of this purchase, the Company accelerated $412 of deferred financing costs during the three months ended September 30, 2013.

12. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair Value of Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company recognizes all derivative financial instruments, such as foreign exchange contracts at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments are either recognized periodically in income or in shareholders’ equity as a component of other comprehensive income depending on whether the derivative financial instrument qualifies for hedge accounting, and if so, whether it qualifies as a fair value hedge or a cash flow hedge. The Company has elected not to offset fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments with the same counterparty under a master netting agreement. See Note 17 “Fair Value Measurements” to the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” for further information on fair value methodology.

The following table summarizes the fair value of the Company’s derivatives by type at September 30, 2013 and 2012, and March 31, 2013.



	Fair Values of Derivative Instruments
	Assets			Liabilities
Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments:	Balance Sheet Account	Fair Value		Balance Sheet Account	Fair Value
Foreign currency contracts at September 30, 2013	Other Current Assets	$	810	Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities	$	77
Foreign currency contracts at September 30, 2012	Other Current Assets	$	398	Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities	$	747
Foreign currency contracts at March 31, 2013	Other Current Assets	$	3,145	Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities	$	644

Earnings Effects of Derivatives

The Company periodically enters into forward or option currency contracts to protect against volatility associated with certain non-U.S. dollar denominated forecasted transactions. These contracts are for green tobacco purchases and processing costs as well as selling, general and administrative costs as the Company deems necessary. These contracts do not meet the requirements for hedge accounting treatment under generally accepted accounting principles, and as such, all changes in fair value are reported in income each period.

The following table summarizes the earnings effects of derivatives in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months and six months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.



		Gain (Loss) Recognized in Income

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments	Location of Gain (Loss) Recognized in Income	Three Months Ended September 30,					Six Months Ended September 30,
		2013		2012			2013			2012

Foreign currency contracts	Cost of goods and services sold	$	607	$	(295	)	$	(2,673	)	$	(13,250	)

Credit Risk

Financial instruments, including derivatives, expose the Company to credit loss in the event of non-performance by counterparties. The Company manages its exposure to counterparty credit risk through specific minimum credit standards, diversification of counterparties, and procedures to monitor concentrations of credit risk. If a counterparty fails to meet the terms of an arrangement, the Company’s exposure is limited to the net amount that would have been received, if any, over the arrangement’s remaining life. The Company does not anticipate non-performance by the counterparties and no material loss would be expected from non-performance by any one of such counterparties.

13. PENSION AND POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS

The Company has multiple benefit plans at several locations. The Company has a defined benefit plan that provides retirement benefits for substantially all U.S. salaried personnel based on years of service rendered, age and compensation. The Company also maintains various other Excess Benefit and Supplemental Plans that provide additional benefits to (1) certain individuals whose compensation and the resulting benefits that would have actually been paid are limited by regulations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code and (2) certain individuals in key positions. The Company funds these plans in amounts consistent with the funding requirements of federal law and regulations.

Additional non-U.S. defined benefit plans sponsored by certain subsidiaries cover certain full-time employees located in Germany, Turkey, and the United Kingdom.

The Company experienced a special termination benefit and curtailment loss of $1,261 during the quarter ended June 30, 2013 in connection with restructuring in one of its foreign locations, which has been recorded in Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges.

Components of Net Periodic Benefit Cost

Net periodic pension cost for continuing operations consisted of the following:



	Three Months Ended September 30,						Six Months Ended September 30,
	2013			2012			2013			2012
Service cost	$	530		$	511		1,078			$	1,023

Special termination benefit	—			—			1,184			—
Net periodic pension cost	$	1,482		$	1,337		$	4,304		$	2,675

Employer Contributions

The Company’s investment objectives are to generate consistent total investment return to pay anticipated plan benefits, while minimizing long-term costs. Financial objectives underlying this policy include maintaining plan contributions at a reasonable level relative to benefits provided and assuring that unfunded obligations do not grow to a level to adversely affect the Company’s financial health. For the six months ended September 30, 2013, contributions of $5,137 were made to pension plans for fiscal 2014. Additional contributions to pension plans of approximately $7,574 are expected during the remainder of fiscal 2014. However, this amount is subject to change, due primarily to asset performance significantly above or below the assumed long-term rate of return on pension assets and significant changes in interest rates.

Postretirement Health and Life Insurance Benefits

The Company also provides certain health and life insurance benefits to retired employees, and their eligible dependents, who meet specified age and service requirements. As of September 30, 2013, contributions of $387 were made to the plans for fiscal 2014. Additional contributions of $499 to the plans are expected during the rest of fiscal 2014. The Company retains the right, subject to existing agreements, to modify or eliminate the postretirement medical benefits.

16. SALE OF RECEIVABLES

The Company sells trade receivables to unaffiliated financial institutions under three accounts receivable securitization programs. Under the first program, the Company continuously sells a designated pool up to $250,000 trade receivables to a special purpose entity, which in turn sells 100% of the receivables to an unaffiliated financial institution. This program allows the Company to receive a cash payment and a deferred purchase price receivable for sold receivables. Following the sale and transfer of the receivables to the special purpose entity, the receivables are isolated from the Company and its affiliates, and upon the sale and transfer of the receivables from the special purpose entity to the unaffiliated financial institution effective control of the receivables is passed to the unaffiliated financial institution, which has all rights, including the right to pledge or sell the receivables. This program requires a minimum level of deferred purchase price to be retained by the Company in connection with the sales. The Company services, administers and collects the receivables on behalf of the special purpose entity and receives a servicing fee of .5% of serviced receivables per annum. As the Company estimates the fee it receives in return for its obligation to service these receivables at fair value, no servicing assets or liabilities are recognized. Servicing fees recognized were not material and are recorded as a reduction of Selling, General and Administrative Expenses within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The agreements for the second and third securitization programs also allow the Company to receive a cash payment and a deferred purchase price receivable for sold receivables. These are uncommitted programs, whereby the Company offers receivables for sale to the respective unaffiliated financial institution, which are then subject to acceptance by the unaffiliated financial institution. Following the sale and transfer of the receivables to the unaffiliated financial institution, the receivables are isolated from the Company and its affiliates, and effective control of the receivables is passed to the unaffiliated financial institution, which has all rights, including the right to pledge or sell the receivables. The Company receives no servicing fee from the unaffiliated financial institution and as a result, has established a servicing liability based upon unobservable inputs, primarily discounted cash flow. This liability is recorded in Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The investment limits under these agreements are $35,000 and $85,000, respectively.

Under the programs, all of the receivables sold for cash are removed from the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and the net cash proceeds received by the Company are included as cash provided by operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. A portion of the purchase price for the receivables is paid by the unaffiliated financial institutions in cash and the balance is a deferred purchase price receivable, which is paid as payments on the receivables are collected from account debtors. The deferred purchase price receivable represents a continuing involvement and a beneficial interest in the transferred financial assets and is recognized at fair value as part of the sale transaction. The deferred purchase price receivables are included in Trade and Other Receivables, Net in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and are valued using unobservable inputs (i.e., level three inputs), primarily discounted cash flow. As servicer of these facilities, the Company may receive funds that are due to the unaffiliated financial institutions which are net settled on the next settlement date. Trade and Other Receivables, Net in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets has been reduced by $2,435 and $12,316 as a result of the net settlement as of September 30, 2013 and March 31, 2013, respectively. There was no reduction at September 30, 2012. See Note 17 "Fair Value Measurements" to the "Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements" for further information.

16. SALE OF RECEIVABLES (continued)

The difference between the carrying amount of the receivables sold under these programs and the sum of the cash and fair value of the other assets received at the time of transfer is recognized as a loss on sale of the related receivables and recorded in Other Income (Expense) in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The following table summarizes the Company’s accounts receivable securitization information as of the dates shown:



	September 30,				March 31,
	2013		2012		2013
Receivables outstanding in facility	$	176,481	$	133,392	$	156,633
Beneficial interest	$	35,304	$	20,989	$	31,992
Servicing liability	$	—	$	—	$	166
Cash proceeds for the six months ended September 30:

Deferred purchase price	98,481		118,628
Service fees	175		254
Total	$	421,287	$	375,629

17. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. A three-level valuation hierarchy based upon observable and non-observable inputs is utilized. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company's market assumptions. Preference is given to observable inputs. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:


•	Level 1 - Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.


•	Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.


•	Level 3 - Significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable.

The Company's financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value include derivative instruments, securitized beneficial interests and guarantees. The application of the fair value guidance to the non-financial assets and liabilities primarily includes assessments of investments in subsidiaries, goodwill and other intangible assets and long-lived assets for potential impairment.

Following are descriptions of the valuation methodologies the Company uses to measure different assets or liabilities at fair value.

Debt

The fair value of debt is measured for purpose of disclosure. Debt is shown at historical value in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. When possible, to measure the fair value of its debt the Company uses quoted market prices of its own debt with approximately the same remaining maturities. When this is not possible, the fair value of debt is calculated using discounted cash flow models with interest rates based upon market based expectations, the Company's credit risk and the contractual terms of the debt instrument. The Company also has portions of its debt with maturities of one year or less for which book value is a reasonable approximation of the fair value of this debt. The fair value of debt is considered to fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as significant value drivers such as interest rates are readily observable. The carrying value and estimated fair value of the Company's Long-Term Debt are shown in the table below.



	September 30, 2013		September 30, 2012		March 31, 2013
Carrying value	$	777,825	$	1,013,595	$	837,219
Estimated fair value	739,344		1,035,702		877,869

Alliance One International, Inc. and Subsidiaries

17. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

Derivative financial instruments

The Company's derivatives consist of foreign currency contracts. The fair value of the derivatives are determined using a discounted cash flow analysis on the expected future cash flows of each derivative. This analysis utilizes observable market data including forward yield curves and implied volatilities to determine the market's expectation of the future cash flows of the variable component. The fixed and variable components of the derivative are then discounted using calculated discount factors developed based on the LIBOR swap rate and are netted to arrive at a single valuation for the period. The Company also incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty's nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. As of September 30, 2013 and 2012 and March 31, 2013 the inputs used to value the Company's derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. However, credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives could utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. Should the use of such credit valuation adjustment estimates result in a significant impact on the overall valuation, this would require reclassification to Level 3.

Securitized beneficial interests

The fair value of securitized beneficial interests is based upon a valuation model that calculates the present value of future expected cash flows using key assumptions for payment speeds and discount rates. The assumptions for payment speed are based on the Company's historical experience. The discount rates are based upon market trends and anticipated performance relative to the particular assets securitized which have been assumed to be commercial paper rate plus a margin or LIBOR plus a margin. Due to the use of the Company's own assumptions and the uniqueness of these transactions, securitized beneficial interests fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Since the discount rate and the payment speed are components of the same equation, a change in either by 10% or 20% would change the value of the recorded beneficial interest at September 30, 2013 by $117 and $235, respectively.

Guarantees

The Company guarantees funds issued to tobacco suppliers by third party lending institutions and also guarantees funds borrowed by a deconsolidated subsidiary. The fair value of guarantees is based upon either the premium the Company would require to issue the same inputs or historical loss rates and as such these guarantees fall into Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Tobacco supplier guarantees - The Company provides guarantees to third parties for indebtedness of certain tobacco suppliers to finance their crops. The fair value of these guarantees is determined using historical loss rates on both guaranteed and non-guaranteed tobacco supplier loans. Should the loss rates change 10% or 20%, the fair value of the guarantee at September 30, 2013 would change by $320 or $640, respectively.

Deconsolidated subsidiary guarantees - The fair value of these guarantees is determined using a discounted cash flow model based on the differential between interest rates available with and without the guarantees. The fair value of these guarantees is most closely tied to the theoretical interest rate differential. Should interest rates used in the model change by 10% or 20%, the fair value of the guarantee, at September 30, 2013 would change by $524 or $1,037, respectively.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

The following executive overview is intended to provide significant highlights of the discussion and analysis that follows.

Financial Results

For the quarter, tobacco revenues and costs increased primarily due to higher prices and the timing of shipments. Average sales prices and cost of tobacco prices increased due to higher green costs primarily in Brazil and Africa. However, the tobacco cost increases were not fully passed on to customers which negatively impacted our profitability. These same factors are reflected in our year-to-date results. In addition, our year-to-date profitability is further negatively impacted by the lower recoveries of advances to tobacco suppliers in Zambia. As a result of several refinancing transactions during the quarter, we incurred over $55.0 million in one-time costs. These refinancing transactions provide a solid liquidity base permitting us to continue to focus on growing and improving our business.

Liquidity

Our liquidity requirements are affected by crop seasonality, foreign currency and interest rates, green tobacco prices, crop size and quality, as well as other factors. We monitor and adjust funding sources based on a number of industry, business, and financial market dynamics. This quarter, we extended our U.S. revolving credit facility maturity by three years to April 2017. We also issued $735.0 million of new eight year senior secured second lien notes that refinanced our $635.0 million senior notes, effectively extending the maturity on this tranche by five years to 2021. The new senior secured second lien notes also provided proceeds that partially funded the purchase of $60.0 million of our $115.0 million senior subordinated convertible notes due 2014, as well as transactions fees and expenses including interim interest. The collective refinancing extended the majority of our long-term debt and reduced uncertainty and distraction related to changes in the capital markets, while providing a solid base for business growth. We will continue to utilize various short-term funding sources to enhance and drive various business opportunities that maintain business flexibility and meet cost parameters.

Outlook

Fiscal year 2014 volume, revenue and core operating income is on track to exceed last year with the back half of this fiscal year driving the majority of our volume, revenue and profitability. Global supply and demand conditions are returning to slight oversupply in the markets where we have factories which should improve operating performance as well as core factory profitability. Looking to next year, further global rollout of our integrated production system and the related dedicated worldwide supplier base uniquely position our company to meet customer supply requirements and their increased demand for higher quality leaf. We will also continue to focus on investment in grower sustainability and social responsibility initiatives that support our customers’ global initiatives. Our success in these areas, combined with attention to our customer’s immediate requirements and our ability to address their longer term needs cost effectively, should improve our results and enhance long-term shareholder value.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2013 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2012

Summary. Tobacco revenues and tobacco costs increases were primarily the result of higher prices and shipments that were accelerated into this quarter that occurred in the third quarter in the prior year as well as shipments delayed from the prior fiscal year. Average sales prices increased $.54 per kilo primarily due to higher green costs in Africa and Brazil as well as product mix. However, the average cost of tobacco sold increased $.60 per kilo primarily due to higher green costs across all regions which were not fully passed on to our customers. Processing and other revenues and processing cost of services sold decreases are due to a reduction in customer volumes in Brazil. Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) decreases were primarily from reduced incentive compensation costs. Restructuring and asset impairment charges this quarter resulted from additional employee termination costs primarily in the South America region.

This quarter, we refinanced our 10% senior notes and purchased $60.0 million of our convertible notes. As a result, one-time debt retirement costs of $55.5 million were recorded including $21.1 million of accelerated amortization of debt issuance costs and recognition of original issue discount related to the 10% senior notes. Our interest costs increased from the prior year related to higher average borrowings and higher average rates which were partially offset by increased interest income. Our effective tax rate was (27.7)% this year compared to 18.4% last year. The significant variance in the effective tax rate between 2013 and 2012 is primarily related to losses for which no tax benefit has been recorded and the effect of exchange gains and losses this year compared to last year.

Tobacco revenues and tobacco costs increased primarily due to volume increases from shipments that were accelerated into this quarter that occurred in the third quarter in the prior year and higher prices. Higher prices were paid to tobacco suppliers; however we were unable to fully pass on these higher tobacco costs to our customers. As a result, average sales prices increased $0.39 per kilo while average total tobacco costs increased $.52 per kilo. Processing and other revenues decreases and processing cost of services sold decreases are due to a reduction in customer volumes. SG&A expenses remained constant.

Tobacco sales and other operating revenues decreases were primarily due to a decrease in quantities sold that is reflective of a competitive environment in the United States creating fluctuation in customer demand and lower gross margins. Average tobacco sales prices increased due to customer mix and product mix. Average total tobacco cost of goods sold on a per kilo basis increased due to customer mix and product mix partially offset by lower transportation, storage and other period costs as our Jordan facility became fully operational this fiscal year. Processing and other revenues and cost of services sold remained consistent with the prior year. SG&A expense increases were due to larger allocations of administrative costs as result of our Jordan operation this year.

Tobacco revenues and tobacco cost increases were primarily due to shipments in North America that had been delayed from fiscal 2013, higher prices and product mix. Larger crop sizes in Malawi and increased processing capacity in Zimbabwe resulted in earlier shipping; however these additional volumes were offset by a change in sales from our investee operation in Thailand. While there is no impact to net income for the change of the selling organization, Thailand tobacco is now sold directly to the customer by our investee operation and reported through equity in investee companies rather than through sales and cost of sales. Average tobacco sales prices increased $.63 per kilo and average total tobacco cost of goods sold increased $.64 per kilo primarily attributable to higher prices paid to tobacco suppliers across all regions as well as product mix in North America. Processing and other revenues improved slightly due to the larger crop sizes in Malawi that were offset by the smaller crop size in the United States, as a result of weather, while cost of services sold remained constant. SG&A expenses decreased primarily due to reduced incentive compensation and the allocation of administrative costs.

Summary. Tobacco revenues and tobacco cost increases were primarily the result of higher prices and shipments that were accelerated into this year that occurred in later quarters in the prior year as well as shipments delayed from the prior fiscal year. Average sales prices increased $.49 per kilo primarily due to higher green costs in Brazil, Africa and Europe as well as product mix. However, the average cost of tobacco sold increased $.59 per kilo primarily due to higher green costs across all regions which were not fully passed on to our customers and losses in Zambia primarily related to lower recoveries of advances to tobacco suppliers. Partially offsetting the higher costs were lower derivative losses in Brazil net of increased exchange losses due to appreciating currencies in Africa compared to the prior year. Processing and other revenues and processing cost of services sold decreases are due to a reduction in customer volumes in Brazil. SG&A expense decreases were primarily from reduced incentive and stock-based compensation costs partially offset by increased professional fees. Restructuring and asset impairment charges were primarily due to our agreement for a joint processing venture in a foreign location.

During the six months ended September 30, 2013, we refinanced our 10% senior notes and purchased $60.0 million of our convertible notes. As a result, one-time debt retirement costs of $55.5 million were recorded including $21.1 million of accelerated amortization of debt issuance costs and recognition of original issue discount related to the 10% senior notes. Our interest costs increased from the prior year related to higher average borrowings and higher average rates which were partially offset by increased interest income. Our effective tax rate was (15.5)% this year compared to 3,969.8% last year. The significant variance in the effective tax rate between 2013 and 2012 is primarily related to net exchange losses on income tax accounts, lower foreign income tax rates and certain losses for which no tax benefit has been recorded.

Tobacco revenues and tobacco costs increased primarily due to volume increases from shipments in this year that occurred in the third quarter in the prior year and higher prices. Higher prices were paid to tobacco suppliers which increased average sales prices by $.47 per kilo. These higher tobacco costs were not able to be fully passed on to our customers. Offsetting the impact of higher green costs was a reduction in derivative losses due to currency movements and a reduction in storage costs due to earlier delivery and processing of the current crop. As a result, average total tobacco costs increased $.48 per kilo. Processing and other revenues and processing cost of services sold decreases are due to a reduction in customer volumes. SG&A expenses increased slightly due to allocation of administrative costs which were offset by increases in other income due to sales of intrastate trade taxes.

While there is no impact to net income for the change of the selling organization, Thailand tobacco is now sold directly to the customer by our investee operation and reported through equity in investee companies rather than through sales and cost of sales. Higher prices were paid to tobacco suppliers across all regions and average tobacco sales prices increased $.52 per kilo. Total tobacco cost of goods sold was impacted by higher prices paid to tobacco suppliers. In addition, other period costs include $11.0 million expensed in Zambia in the current year primarily related to reduced recoveries of advances to tobacco suppliers and total tobacco costs include the negative impact of appreciating African currencies compared to significant depreciation throughout fiscal 2013. These costs are not fully recoverable from customers. Processing and other revenues improved slightly due to the larger crop sizes in Malawi partially offset by increased processing costs due to the smaller crop size in the United States as a result of weather. SG&A expenses decreased primarily due to reduced incentive and stock-based compensation expenses partially offset by increased professional fees.

Our business is seasonal, and purchasing, processing and selling activities have several associated peaks where cash on hand and outstanding indebtedness may be significantly greater or less than at fiscal year-end. We utilize capital in excess of cash flow from operations to finance accounts receivable, inventory and advances to tobacco suppliers in foreign countries, including Argentina, Brazil, Guatemala, Malawi, Tanzania, Turkey and Zambia. In addition, from time to time, we may elect to purchase, redeem, repay, retire or cancel indebtedness prior to stated maturity under our various foreign credit lines, senior secured credit agreement or indentures, as permitted therein.

As of September 30, 2013, we reached a seasonally adjusted high for our South American crop lines as we are shipping inventory and collecting receivables. In Africa, purchasing is almost complete and processing and shipping will peak in the third quarter. In Asia, the Thai crop has been processed, packed and is shipping, while Indian Mysore is being purchased, with processing and shipping scheduled to occur during the third quarter. Indonesian purchasing also began in August, and we are processing and beginning to ship. Europe has almost completed processing, and shipping will follow during the third and fourth quarters. North America has commenced flue cured purchasing and processing, with shipping scheduled to occur in full effect during the third quarter, seasonally elevating working capital requirements. Depreciation of the U.S. dollar versus many of the currencies in which we have costs may continue to have an impact on our working capital requirements, as such, we will monitor and hedge foreign currency costs prudently, and as needed on a currency-by-currency basis.

Working Capital

Our working capital decreased from $843.8 million at March 31, 2013 to $662.2 million at September 30, 2013. Our current ratio was 1.6 to 1 at September 30, 2013 compared to 2.4 to 1 at March 31, 2013. The decrease in working capital is primarily related to increased notes payable to banks for the seasonal buildup of purchasing and processing tobacco in Africa and Brazil and the seasonal increase in financing of those crops. The decrease is also related to a $50.0 million increase in the current portion of our long-term debt in accordance with terms. Partially offsetting the decrease in working capital is the seasonal buildup of inventories and advances to tobacco suppliers related to the timing of the Africa and North America crop cycles as well as a reduction in accounts payable due to the timing of tobacco purchases as of March 31, 2013.

The following table is a summary of items from the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and Condensed Statements of Consolidated Cash Flows. Approximately $62.4 million of our outstanding cash balance at September 30, 2013 was held in foreign jurisdictions. As a result of our cash needs abroad, it is our intention to permanently reinvest these funds in foreign jurisdictions regardless of the fact that, due to the valuation allowance on foreign tax credit carryovers, the cost of repatriation would not have a material financial impact.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES: (continued)

Operating Cash Flows

Net cash used by operating activities decreased $41.1 million in 2013 compared to 2012. The decrease in cash used was primarily due to less cash used for inventories and advances to tobacco suppliers due to earlier shipping of the South America and Africa crops resulting from larger crop sizes and increased processing capabilities as well as increases in advances from customers for the higher costs of tobacco primarily in Africa and North America. Partially offsetting the decrease in cash used was more cash used for accounts payable due to timing of the purchase of these crops and less cash from receivables due to the earlier shipping of tobacco compared to the prior year.

Investing Cash Flows

Net cash used by investing activities decreased $1.4 million in 2013 compared to 2012. The decrease in cash used was primarily due to decreased purchases of property, plant and equipment due to timing of investment in capital assets partially offset by the change in restrictions on cash in accordance with terms of the related agreements.

Financing Cash Flows

Net cash provided by financing activities decreased $123.1 million in 2013 compared to 2012. This decrease is primarily due to a $258.8 million increase in net repayment of long-term borrowings primarily relating to our debt refinancing this quarter as well as $50.5 million in related debt issuance, debt retirement and other debt related costs. Partially offsetting this decrease is a $186.3 million increase in net proceeds from short-term borrowings for the seasonal financing of the purchase and processing of the South America and Africa crops.

Debt Financing

We continue to finance our business with a combination of short-term and long-term seasonal credit lines, our revolving credit facility, long-term debt securities, customer advances and cash from operations. At September 30, 2013, we had cash of $85.4 million and total debt outstanding of $1,446.7 million comprised of $668.9 million of notes payable to banks, $2.3 million of other long-term debt, $720.5 million of 9.875% senior secured second lien notes and $55.0 million of 5.5% convertible senior subordinated notes. The $312.1 million seasonal increase in notes payable to banks from March 31, 2013 to September 30, 2013 results from anticipated seasonal fluctuation to account for borrowings under the South America and Africa credit lines. Aggregated peak borrowings by facility occurring at anytime during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, were $736.7 million at a weighted average interest rate of 4.4% and $565.5 million at a weighted average interest rate of 4.2%. Aggregated peak borrowings by facility occurring at anytime during the six months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were repaid with cash provided by operating activities. Available credit as of September 30, 2013 was $559.5 million comprised of $303.9 million under our revolver, $244.1 million of notes payable to banks, $0.7 million of other long-term debt and $10.8 million of availability exclusively for letters of credit. In fiscal 2014, we expect to incur capital expenditures of approximately $40.0 million for routine replacement of equipment as well as investment in assets that will add value to the customer or increase efficiency. No cash dividends were paid to stockholders during the quarter ended September 30, 2013 and payment of dividends is restricted under the terms of our revolving credit facility and the indenture governing our senior notes. We believe that these sources of liquidity versus our requirements will be sufficient to fund our anticipated needs for the next twelve months.

Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility

On August 1, 2013, the agreement governing the Company's senior secured revolving credit facility was amended and restated to provide for a senior secured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks of approximately $303.9 million that will automatically reduce to approximately $210.3 million on April 15, 2014 and will mature in April 15, 2017, subject to a springing maturity on April 15, 2014 if by that date the Company has not deposited in the Blocked Account (as defined below) sufficient amounts to fund the repayment at maturity of all then outstanding 5½% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014 of the Company (the “Convertible Notes”). Borrowings under the amended and restated senior secured revolving credit facility initially bear interest at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 3.75% and base rate plus 2.75%, as applicable, though the interest rate under the amended and restated senior secured revolving credit facility is subject to increase or decrease according to the Company's consolidated interest coverage ratio.

Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility (continued)

The agreement governing the amended and restated senior secured revolving credit facility requires the Company to deposit with the lenders, in a segregated account that the Company may not use other than for specified purposes (the “Blocked Account”), the net proceeds from the sale of $735.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the Company's 9.875% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2021 (the “Second Lien Notes”) that are not immediately applied to redeem all of the Company's outstanding 10% Senior Notes due 2016 (the “Senior Notes”). Amounts held in the Blocked Account may be used solely to purchase any and all Convertible Notes tendered in the Company's cash tender offer to purchase up to $60.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes commenced on July 17, 2013 (the “Convertible Notes Tender Offer”) and, subject to conditions, to retire any remaining Convertible Notes not purchased in the Convertible Notes Tender Offer, including repayment at maturity. All amounts deposited in the Blocked Account from the net proceeds of the sale of the Second Lien Notes were applied to the purchase of Convertible Notes in the Convertible Notes Tender Offer. Borrowings under the amended and restated senior secured revolving credit facility are secured by a first priority lien on specified property of the Company, including the capital stock of specified subsidiaries, all U.S. accounts receivable, certain U.S. inventory, intercompany notes evidencing loans or advances, certain U.S. fixed assets and the Blocked Account.

Financial covenants. The following financial covenants and required financial ratios are included in the agreement governing the amended and restated senior secured revolving credit facility:


•	a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio specified for each fiscal quarter of 2014 and 1.90 to 1.00 thereafter, which ratio is 1.80 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2013;


•	a maximum consolidated leverage ratio specified for each fiscal quarter, which ratio is 7.80 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2013;


•	a maximum consolidated total senior debt to working capital ratio of not more than 0.80 to 1.00 other than during periods in which the consolidated leverage ratio is less than 4.00 to 1.00 if the consolidated leverage ratio has been less than 4.00 to 1.00 for the prior two consecutive fiscal quarters; and


•	a maximum amount of the Company's annual capital expenditures of $50.8 million during the fiscal year ending March 31, 2014 and $40.0 million during any fiscal year thereafter, in each case with a one-year carry-forward (not in excess of $40.0 million) for unused capital expenditures in any fiscal year below the maximum amount.

Senior Secured Second Lien Notes

On August 1, 2013, the Company issued $735.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the Second Lien Notes. The Second Lien Notes were sold at 98% of the face value, for gross proceeds of approximately $720.3 million. The Second Lien Notes bear interest at a rate of 9.875% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears in cash on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning January 15, 2014, to holders of record at the close of business on the preceding January 1 and July 1, respectively. The Second Lien Notes will mature on July 15, 2021. The Second Lien Notes are secured by a second priority lien on specified property of Alliance One International, Inc. for which the amended and restated senior secured revolving credit facility holds the first priority lien. The indenture governing the Second Lien Notes restricts (subject to exceptions and qualifications) the Company's ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness or issue disqualified stock or preferred stock, pay dividends and make other restricted payments (including restricted investments), sell assets, create liens, consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets, enter into transactions with its affiliates, enter into certain sale and leaseback transactions, create certain dividend and payment restrictions on its restricted subsidiaries, and designate its subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries.

Redemption of Existing Senior Notes

On August 2, 2013, the Company redeemed all $635.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the Company's outstanding 10% Senior Notes due 2016 at a redemption price equal to 105% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and other costs of which $31.8 million was charged to debt retirement expense. As a result of the redemption, the Company accelerated $6.1 million of deferred financing costs and $14.6 million of amortization of original issue discount during the three months ended September 30, 2013.

Partial Tender of Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes

On August 30, 2013, the Company purchased of $60.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its existing $115.0 million 5 ½% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014 pursuant to a cash tender offer at a purchase price equal to $1.03 per $1.00 principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest and other costs of which $2.5 million was charged to debt retirement expense. The Company funded the purchase with available cash and a portion of the net proceeds from the issuance of the $735.0 million Second Lien Notes, which proceeds had been held in the Blocked Account. As a result of this purchase, the Company accelerated $0.4 million of deferred financing costs during the three months ended September 30, 2013.

Foreign Seasonal Lines of Credit

We have typically financed our non-U.S. operations with uncommitted unsecured short-term seasonal lines of credit at the local level. These operating lines are seasonal in nature, normally extending for a term of 180 to 270 days corresponding to the tobacco crop cycle in that location. These facilities are typically uncommitted in that the lenders have the right to cease making loans and demand repayment of loans at any time. These loans are typically renewed at the outset of each tobacco season. As of September 30, 2013, we had approximately $668.9 million drawn and outstanding on foreign seasonal lines with maximum capacity totaling $930.2 million subject to limitations as provided for in the Credit Agreement. Additionally against these lines there was $10.8 million available in unused letter of credit capacity with $6.4 million issued but unfunded.

FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS:

Readers are cautioned that the statements contained in this report regarding expectations of our performance or other matters that may affect our business, results of operations or financial condition are “forward-looking statements” as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements, which are based on current expectations of future events, may be identified by use of words such as “strategy,” “expects,” “continues,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “will,” “estimates,” “intends,” “projects,” “goals,” “targets” and other words of similar meaning. These statements also may be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. If underlying assumptions prove inaccurate or if known or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize, actual results could vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected. Some of these risks and 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 our tobacco products, and the impact of regulation and litigation on our customers. A further list and description of these risks, uncertainties and other factors can be found in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We do not undertake to update any forward-looking statements that we may make from time to time.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

There have been no significant changes to our market risk since March 31, 2013. For a discussion on our exposure to market risk, refer to Part II, Item 7A “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2013.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that this information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. It should be noted that, because of inherent limitations, our disclosure controls and procedures, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met.

In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act), as of September 30, 2013. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) were effective to provide reasonable assurance as of September 30, 2013.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

As required by Rule 13a-15(d) under the Exchange Act, the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated the Company’s internal control over financial reporting to determine whether any changes occurred during the quarter covered by this quarterly report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Alliance One International, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Item 4. Controls and Procedures (continued)

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting (continued)

The Company is currently implementing an ERP system using SAP applications. The implementation is part of a multi-year plan to install SAP at certain operations throughout the world to improve the Company's business processes and deliver enhanced operational and financial performance. During the three months ended September 30, 2013, further developments to the financial reporting process were implemented for operations that have previously implemented SAP and the Company substantially completed the process of implementing SAP in another of its Indonesia operations. This phase of the project has involved changes to certain internal controls over financial reporting, which the Company believes were material.

Other than the financial reporting developments for the Company's operations that have previously implemented SAP and implementation of SAP in the Indonesia operation discussed above there were no changes that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Part II. Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Mindo, S.r.l., the purchaser in 2004 of the Company's Italian subsidiary Dimon Italia, S.r.l., has asserted claims against a subsidiary of the Company arising out of that sale transaction in an action filed before the Court of Rome on April 12, 2007. The claim, allegedly arising from a guaranty letter issued by a consolidated subsidiary of the Company in connection with the sale transaction, seeks the recovery of €7.4 million (US$10.0 million) plus interest and costs. A hearing for the disposition of this matter was held in December 2011 and the court's ruling is pending. Due to the uncertain legal interpretation in a foreign jurisdiction and the complexity of the matter, the Company is not able to reasonably estimate the outcome.
