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 (Loss) for the three months ended June 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 $7,531 and $5,147 for the three months ended June 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.

2. INCOME TAXES

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes

As of June 30, 2013, the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits totaled $7,917, 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 June 30, 2013, accrued interest and penalties totaled $792 and $1,096 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 June 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.

Alliance One International, Inc. and Subsidiaries

2. INCOME TAXES (continued)

Provision for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2013

The effective tax rate used for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was (2.5)% compared to (44.3)% for the three months ended June 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 59.8% after absorption of discrete items.

For the three months ended June 30, 2013, the Company recorded a discrete event adjustment expense of $5,610, bringing the effective tax rate estimated for the three months of 13.6% to (2.5)%. 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 three months ended June 30, 2012 , the Company recorded a discrete event adjustment expense of $6,327, bringing the effective tax rate estimated for the three months of (14.0)% to (44.3)%. 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. The significant difference in the estimated effective tax rate for the three months ended June 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:



	June 30, 2013		June 30, 2012		March 31, 2013
Amounts guaranteed (not to exceed)	$	102,221	$	101,852	$	125,623
Amounts outstanding under guarantee	87,525		76,960		98,689
Fair value of guarantees	6,176		5,803		6,367

Of the guarantees outstanding at June 30, 2013, approximately 94% expire within one year and the remainder within five years. 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.

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 June 30, 2013 and 2012 and March 31, 2013, respectively, the Company had balances of $21,269, $24,042 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.

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.

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 June 30, 2013 and 2012, and March 31, 2013, the Company’s investment in these joint ventures was $22,944, $23,150, 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 $296 and $9 at June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively and are classified as Accounts Receivable, Related Parties in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. There were no advances at March 31, 2013. The Company guaranteed an amount to a joint venture not to exceed $18,764, $19,164 and $19,363 at June 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 ended June 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 June 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 6,960 at a weighted average exercise price of $6.05 per share at June 30, 2013 and 7,445 at a weighted average exercise price of $6.01 per share at June 30, 2012.

8. EARNINGS PER SHARE (continued)

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 ended June 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 ended June 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 $705 and $2,625 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

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

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 $5,946 and the total assessment including penalties and interest at June 30, 2013 is $15,218. 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 Rio Grande do Sul and the State of Santa Catarina. These jurisdictions permit the sale or transfer of excess credits to third parties, however approval must be obtained from the tax authorities. The Company has agreements with the state governments regarding the amounts and timing of credits that can be sold. The tax credits have a carrying value of $13,766, 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 (“DGCOMP”) 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 the investigation into practices in Spain, in 2004 the EC fined the Company and its Spanish subsidiaries €4,415 (US$5,641) in the aggregate. In respect of the investigation into practices in Italy, in October 2005 the EC announced the assessment of fines against the Company and its Italian subsidiaries of €24,000 (US$28,800) in the aggregate. 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 Company has fully recognized the impact of each of the fines and has paid all of such fines as part of the appeal process. Except as described below, all appeals in these matters have been concluded. A hearing before the ECJ in case C-652/11 P relating to the appeal of one of the Company's Italian subsidiaries which had been individually fined €3,990 was held on October 15, 2012, and the ECJ has referred the case back to the European General Court for further proceedings. The Company has decided not to further pursue the appeal in this matter, and accordingly this matter is now concluded. In appeals relating to a Spanish subsidiary involving €2,592 in fines, a hearing before the ECJ in case C-679/11 P regarding joint and several parent-company liability was held on January 10, 2013, while the appeal in case C-668/11 P relating to the underlying liability of the Spanish subsidiary is proceeding without a hearing. The ECJ has indicated that it will render its judgment in these two appeals on or about September 26, 2013. The outcome of these appeals is uncertain.

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 $9,595) 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.

Other (continued)

On June 6, 2008, the Company's Brazilian subsidiary and a number of other tobacco processors were notified of a class action initiated by the ALPAG - Associação Lourenciana de Pequenos Agricultrores ("Association of Small Farmers of São Lourenço”). The case was brought before the 2nd civil court of São Lourenço do Sul. On April 20, 2012, the Company's motion to dismiss the class action was granted in part and denied in part. On June 26, 2013, the court dismissed the remaining claims in this case. The period permitted for appeal of the dismissal has expired and this matter is now concluded.

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

Notes Payable to Banks increased $277,835 from March 31, 2013 due to the seasonal financing for the purchasing and processing of the South America and Africa crops.

In August 2013, the Company completed certain refinancing transactions, including an amendment and restatement of the Company's senior secured credit facility. The discussion below describes certain terms of the Company's debt arrangements prior to the refinancing transactions. See Note 19 "Subsequent Event" to the "Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements" for further information.

At June 30, 2013, borrowings under the senior secured credit facility were $125,000. As a result of the long-term extension included in the senior secured credit facility amendment and restatement on August 1, 2013, the Company recorded this facility's outstanding borrowings at June 30, 2013 as long-term debt. The Company continuously monitors its compliance with the covenants of its senior secured credit facility and its senior 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 Senior Secured 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 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 June 30, 2013, the Company did not satisfy this fixed charge coverage ratio. The Company may from time to time not satisfy this ratio.

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.

Fair Value of Derivative Financial Instruments (continued)

The following table summarizes the fair value of the Company’s derivatives by type at June 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 June 30, 2013	Other Current Assets	$	127	Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities	$	—
Foreign currency contracts at June 30, 2012	Other Current Assets	$	624	Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities	$	431
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 ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.



		Loss Recognized in Income for the Three Months Ending June 30,
Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments	Location of Gain (Loss) Recognized in Income
		2013			2012

Foreign currency contracts	Cost of goods and services sold	$	(3,280	)	$	(12,955	)

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 $1,261during 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.

Net periodic pension cost	$	2,822		$	1,338

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. As of June 30, 2013, contributions of $2,664 were made to pension plans for fiscal 2014. Additional contributions to pension plans of approximately $10,047 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 June 30, 2013, contributions of $209 were made to the plans for fiscal 2014. Additional contributions of $677 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.

16. SALE OF RECEIVABLES (continued)

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.

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 $4,659 and $12,316 as a result of the net settlement as of June 30, 2013 and March 31, 2013, respectively. See Note 17 "Fair Value Measurements" to the "Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements" for further information.

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:

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.

17. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

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.



	June 30, 2013		June 30, 2012		March 31, 2013
Carrying value	$	867,753	$	985,327	$	837,219
Estimated fair value	892,423		979,247		877,869

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 June 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 June 30, 2013 by $30 and $59, 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 June 30, 2013 would change by $350 or $700, 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 June 30, 2013 would change by $496 or $981, respectively.

19. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

In August 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 a consolidated interest coverage ratio.

- 23 -

Alliance One International, Inc. and Subsidiaries

19. SUBSEQUENT EVENT (continued)

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 $735,000 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 pending cash tender offer to purchase up to $30,000 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. Borrowings under the amended and restated senior secured revolving credit facility are secured by a first priority lien of specified property, including the capital stock of specified subsidiaries 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 1.90 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2013;


•	a maximum consolidated leverage ratio specified for each fiscal quarter, which ratio is 7.25 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending June 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.

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 98.000% 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 pledge of specified property of the Company, including the capital stock of specified subsidiaries and the Blocked Account. 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.

19. SUBSEQUENT EVENT (continued)

Senior Secured Second Lien Notes (continued)

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 (the “Senior Notes”) at a redemption price equal to 105.000% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest. As a result of the redemption of the Senior Notes, the Company will accelerate to earnings approximately $6,268 of deferred financing costs and $14,960 of amortization of original issue discount.

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

Revenues increased from the prior year due to delayed shipments from fiscal 2013 and the increased sales prices in Brazil due to higher green costs. Profitability for the quarter was impacted by several factors. We expensed approximately $11.0 million in Zambia primarily related to reducing our estimate for recoveries of advances to tobacco suppliers. To aggressively address this unforeseen challenge, going forward we are enhancing our Zambian agronomy staff and our credit procedures, to recover the highest level of advances possible. In addition, gross profit was negatively impacted by the effect of an appreciating Malawi Kwacha and other currencies that increased local costs compared to significant depreciation throughout the prior year. Operating income and pretax income were impacted by these factors as well.

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. In August 2013, 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 provide funds for the pending tender of up to $30.0 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 extends the majority of our long-term debt and reduces 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

Our expectation is for full year volume and revenue improvement versus last year based upon our internal plan that is more weighted to the back half of the year due to anticipated customer shipping schedules. Also, despite the challenges and unforeseen costs in the first quarter we anticipate full year profitability to improve versus last year.

We are clearly experiencing undersupply in burley and higher quality flavored tobaccos and increased inventory versus last year is related to plan sales growth into Asia, the largest, fastest growing global market. We anticipate lower year-end inventory levels versus fiscal year 2013, with increased sales that should also help to reduce year-end debt levels. Our global team is focused on working capital efficiency and is driving to improve our cash cycle. Our restructuring efforts related to a new processing arrangement should lead to lower processing costs in future periods. Combined with further operational improvements our global team is striving to improve long-term shareholder value.

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

Summary. Sales and other operating revenues increased 7.3% primarily due to delayed shipments into this quarter from the end of fiscal 2013 in Europe and Asia as well as increased sales prices of the current crop in Brazil due to higher green costs. Gross profit decreased 31.5% compared to the same quarter in the prior year and gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased from 11.6% in 2012 to 7.4% in 2013. The prior year gross profit included significant losses on Brazilian derivative financial instruments which were offset by lower U.S. dollar operating costs of tobaccos sold in future periods. The current year gross profit and gross profit as a percentage of sales have been negatively impacted by $11.0 million in Zambia primarily related to reducing our estimate for recoveries of advances to tobacco suppliers, the negative impact of appreciating foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar primarily in Africa which are not fully absorbed by customers, and the higher costs of the current Brazilian crop which were not fully offset by higher sale prices.

Selling, general and administrative costs decreased 1.7% comparable to the prior year. Restructuring and asset impairment charges were $2.2 million this year due to our agreement for a joint processing venture in one of our foreign locations. Increased interest costs related to higher average borrowings and higher average rates were partially offset by increased interest income. Primarily as a result of the reduction in gross profit, pretax income decreased $14.0 million compared to last year.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS: (continued)

Summary. (continued)

Our effective tax rate increased from (44.3)% in 2012 to (2.5)% in 2013. 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.

South America Region. Tobacco revenues increased $9.9 million or 5.9% primarily due to an increase of $0.57 per kilo in average sales prices partially offset by a decrease of 1.7 million kilos in quantities sold. In the prior year, delivery of the crop was late and sales were primarily opportunistic sales of older crop. In the current year, delivery of the crop was as expected but at higher prices than the previous crop based on market conditions. Increased average sales prices for this year's crop were less than increased costs which impacts our gross profit and our gross profit as a percentage of sales.

Gross profit increased $5.8 million and gross profit as a percentage of sales increased 2.8 percentage points due to lower derivative losses partially offset by the impact on a per kilo basis of the higher cost of the current crop that was not fully offset by increased average sales prices.

Value Added Services. Tobacco revenues decreased $2.5 million or 8.1% primarily from a decrease of 0.6 million kilos in quantities sold partially offset by an increase of $0.13 per kilo in average sales prices. Decreased revenues are reflective of a competitive environment in the United States that creates fluctuation in customer demand and lower gross margins. Increased average sales prices are primarily due to product mix. Gross profit decreased $2.2 million and gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased 5.2 percentage points from the prior year due to customer mix and product mix.

Other Regions. Tobacco revenues increased $19.4 million or 13.5% primarily as a result of an increase of 1.7 million kilos in quantities sold and an increase of $0.33 per kilo in average sales price. Revenue increases were primarily due to the timing of shipments into this quarter that had been delayed from the end of fiscal 2013 in Europe and Asia. Increased average sales prices are primarily due to higher prices paid to tobacco suppliers in Africa.

Gross profit decreased $16.7 million and gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased 11.9 percentage points. In Zambia, we expensed $11.0 million primarily related to reducing our estimate for recoveries of advances to tobacco suppliers. Also negatively impacting gross profit was the impact of an appreciating Malawi Kwacha and other African currencies on local costs this quarter compared to significant depreciation throughout fiscal 2013. The resulting exchange losses are not fully recoverable from customers.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:

Overview

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 June 30, 2013, we are approaching the seasonally adjusted high for our South American crop lines as we are completing purchasing and processing in these markets with shipping stepping into full mode. In Africa, purchasing will continue through August in most sourcing areas while processing and consequently shipping will peak in the second and third quarters. In Asia, the Chinese crop is fully processed and the Thai crops are fully purchased, with significant shipping still to come, while some Indian traditional crop is still left to purchase and process. The Indonesian purchasing season begins in August. Europe has completed purchases of the 2013 crop and is finishing processing with most shipping to come. North America is preparing to begin flue cured purchasing in August with processing and shipping to follow, which will commence its seasonally elevated working capital needs. Fluctuation 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 actively, and as needed on a currency-by-currency basis.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES: (continued)

Working Capital

Our working capital seasonally increased from $843.8 million at March 31, 2013 to $849.9 million at June 30, 2013. Our current ratio was 1.9 to 1 at June 30, 2013 compared to 2.4 to 1 at March 31, 2013. The increase in working capital is primarily related to increased cash on hand primarily due to the timing of customer payments and the seasonal increase in advances from customers for the purchase and processing of tobacco in Africa and Brazil. Increases in inventories and advances to our Zimbabwe operation primarily due to the seasonal buildup of purchasing and processing tobacco in Africa and Brazil were offset by the related seasonal increase in financing of those crops.

The following table is a summary of items from the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and Condensed Statements of Consolidated Cash Flows. Approximately $30.4 million of our outstanding cash balance at June 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.

Operating Cash Flows

Net cash used by operating activities increased $51.5 million in 2013 compared to 2012. The increase in cash used was primarily due to more cash used for inventories and advances to tobacco suppliers and advances to our Zimbabwe operation due to larger higher priced crops in South America and Africa compared to short crops in the prior year. Partially offsetting the increase in cash used was more cash provided by customer advances for the purchase and processing of these crops.

Investing Cash Flows

Net cash used by investing activities increased $2.3 million in 2013 compared to 2012. The increase in cash used was primarily due to the change in restrictions on cash in accordance with terms of the related agreements and increased purchases of property, plant and equipment due to timing of investment in capital assets.

Financing Cash Flows

Net cash provided by financing activities increased $104.8 million in 2013 compared to 2012. This increase was primarily due to an increase in proceeds from short-term borrowings for the seasonal financing of the purchase and processing of the South America and Africa crops. Partially offsetting the increased proceeds from short-term borrowings was less proceeds and increased repayment of our long-term debt attributable to the timing of our revolver borrowings.

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 June 30, 2013, we had cash of $148.8 million and total debt outstanding of $1,502.4 million comprised of $639.9 million of notes payable to banks and long-term seasonal lines, $125.0 million under our revolving credit facility, $2.5 million of other long-term debt, $620.0 million of 10.0% senior notes and $115.0 million of 5.5% convertible senior subordinated notes. The $277.8 million seasonal increase in notes payable to banks from March 31, 2013 to June 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 June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, were $714.6 million at a weighted average interest rate of 4.3% and $593.7 million at a weighted average interest rate of 3.9%. Aggregated peak borrowings by facility occurring at anytime during the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were repaid with cash provided by operating activities. Available credit as of June 30, 2013 was $442.6 million comprised of $125.0 million under our revolver, $286.5 million of notes payable to banks, $20.4 million of long-term foreign seasonal lines and other long-term debt and $10.7 million of availability exclusively for letters of credit. In fiscal 2014, we expect to incur 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 June 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 (as supplemented by the refinancing transactions consummated in August 2013, as described below) versus our requirements will be sufficient to fund our anticipated needs for the next twelve months.

All debt agreements contain certain cross-default or cross-acceleration provisions. The following table summarizes our debt financing as of June 30, 2013:

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 a 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 $735.0 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 pending cash tender offer to purchase up to $30.0 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. Borrowings under the amended and restated senior secured revolving credit facility are secured by a first priority lien of specified property, including the capital stock of specified subsidiaries 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 1.90 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2013;


•	a maximum consolidated leverage ratio specified for each fiscal quarter, which ratio is 7.25 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending June 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 98.000% 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 pledge of specified property of the Company, including the capital stock of specified subsidiaries and the Blocked Account. 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 105.000% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

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 June 30, 2013, we had approximately $634.7 million drawn and outstanding on foreign seasonal lines with maximum capacity totaling $935.8 million subject to limitations as provided for in the Credit Agreement. Additionally against these lines there was $10.7 million available in unused letter of credit capacity with $3.9 million issued but unfunded.

We also have foreign seasonal borrowings with maturity greater than one year. As of June 30, 2013, approximately $5.2 million was drawn and outstanding with maximum capacity totaling $25.0 million. Certain of these foreign seasonal borrowings are secured by certain of our subsidiary borrowers' accounts receivable and inventories totalling $7.9 million and restrict the payment of dividends by the subsidiary borrower during the term of the agreement. We record outstanding borrowings under our foreign seasonal revolver agreements as long-term as we intend to extend repayment terms to the maturity date in accordance with the agreement.

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 June 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 June 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.

There were no changes that occurred during the three months ended June 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

In October 2001, the Directorate General for Competition (“DGCOMP”) 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 the investigation into practices in Spain, in 2004 the EC fined the Company and its Spanish subsidiaries €4.4 million (US$5.6 million) in the aggregate. In respect of the investigation into practices in Italy, in October 2005 the EC announced the assessment of fines against the Company and its Italian subsidiaries of €24.0 million (US$28.8 million) in the aggregate. 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 Company has fully recognized the impact of each of the fines and has paid all of such fines as part of the appeal process. Except as described below, all appeals in these matters have been concluded. A hearing before the ECJ in case C-652/11 P relating to the appeal of one of the Company's Italian subsidiaries which had been individually fined €3.99 million was held on October 15, 2012, and the ECJ has referred the case back to the European General Court for further proceedings. The Company has decided not to further pursue the appeal in this matter, and accordingly this matter is now concluded. In appeals relating to a Spanish subsidiary involving €2.6 million in fines, a hearing before the ECJ in case C-679/11 P regarding joint and several parent-company liability was held on January 10, 2013, while the appeal in case C-668/11 P relating to the underlying liability of the Spanish subsidiary is proceeding without a hearing. The ECJ has indicated that it will render its judgment in these two appeals on or about September 26, 2013. The outcome of these appeals is uncertain.

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$9.6 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.
