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 nine months ended December 31, 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 $4,848 and $6,242 for the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively and $15,810 and $15,364 for the nine months ended December 31, 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 December 31, 2013, the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits totaled $7,811, 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 December 31, 2013, accrued interest and penalties totaled $874 and $1,172 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 December 31, 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 Nine Months Ended December 31, 2013

The effective tax rate used for the nine months ended December 31, 2013 was (41.2)% compared to 65.5% for the nine months ended December 31, 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 (116.4)% after absorption of discrete items.

For the nine months ended December 31, 2013, the Company recorded a discrete event adjustment expense of $9,876, bringing the effective tax rate estimated for the nine months of (21.4)% to (41.2)%. 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 nine months ended December 31, 2012 , the Company recorded a discrete event adjustment expense of $3,418, bringing the effective tax rate estimated for the nine months of 50.9% to 65.5%. 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, the release of a U.S. uncertain tax position effectively settled upon completion of a tax examination of a prior year and the release of foreign valuation allowances. The significant difference in the estimated effective tax rate for the nine months ended December 31, 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:



	December 31, 2013		December 31, 2012		March 31, 2013
Amounts guaranteed (not to exceed)	$	167,914	$	129,088	$	125,623
Amounts outstanding under guarantee	144,435		100,393		98,689
Fair value of guarantees	6,671		7,728		6,367

Of the guarantees outstanding at December 31, 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 December 31, 2013 and 2012 and March 31, 2013, respectively, the Company had balances of $188, $606 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 $2,745 in connection with the reduction in workforce including the effect on the Company's defined benefit pension plans of $1,261 during the nine months ended December 31, 2013. Asset impairment charges of $680 were recorded for certain processing equipment in connection with the new venture as of December 31, 2013. As the Company continues to respond to changes in its business, additional employee separation charges of $580 and asset impairment charges of $759 were incurred during the nine months ended December 31, 2013.

The following table summarizes the restructuring charges recorded in the Company’s reporting segments during the three months and nine months ended December 31, 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 nine months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012:

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 December 31, 2013 and 2012, and March 31, 2013, the Company’s investment in these joint ventures was $23,841, $23,604, 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 $915 and $734 at December 31, 2013 and 2012 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 $18,527, $19,320 and $19,363 at December 31, 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 nine months ended December 31, 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 December 31, 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 6,885 at a weighted average exercise price of $6.04 per share at December 31, 2013 and 7,049 at a weighted average exercise price of $7.34 per share at December 31, 2012.

In connection with the offering of the Company’s 5 ½% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014, issued on July 2, 2009 and July 15, 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 nine months ended December 31, 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 nine months ending December 31, 2013.
** For the three months and nine months ended December 31, 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 $780 and $679 for the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively and $2,492 and $3,976 for the nine months ended December 31, 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 nine months ended December 31, 2012, 3,350 stock-based compensation awards for stock options were granted. No stock options were granted during the three months ended December 31, 2012. No stock options were granted during the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2013.

Assumptions used to determine the fair value of options issued during the nine months ended December 31, 2012 include the following:



	Nine Months Ended December 31, 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%

During the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, the Company made the following stock-based compensation awards:



	Three Months Ended December 31,				Nine Months Ended December 31,
(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 $5,624 and the total assessment including penalties and interest at December 31, 2013 is $14,724. 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 $11,738 at December 31, 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

Mindo, S.r.l., the purchaser in 2004 of the Company's Italian subsidiary Dimon Italia, S.r.l., 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 involved a guaranty letter issued by a consolidated subsidiary of the Company in connection with the sale transaction. On November 11, 2013, the court issued its judgment in favor of the Company’s subsidiary, rejecting the claims asserted by Mindo, S.r.l., and awarding the Company’s subsidiary legal costs of €48. The period for appeal of the court’s judgment is pending, and it is uncertain whether Mindo S.r.l. will pursue an appeal.

The Company is aware of a complaint filed on January 3, 2014 in New Castle County, Delaware state court, captioned Biglia, et al. v. Alliance One International, Inc., et al., which names the Company as one of several defendants but which has not been served on the Company. Such complaint names as plaintiffs 67 individuals claiming to be tobacco farmers and their family members, all residing in Misiones Province, Argentina. The complaint seeks compensatory and punitive damages from the Company and other multinational defendants, under U.S. and Argentine law, for alleged injuries, including birth defects, purportedly caused by exposure to agricultural chemicals in connection with the production and cultivation of tobacco. The complaint appears to be similar to five other complaints filed by other claimed residents of Misiones Province, Argentina against the Company and other defendants, from which the Company was dismissed without prejudice in 2012 and 2013.

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 nine months ended December 31, 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 1.85 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2013;


•	a maximum consolidated leverage ratio specified for each fiscal quarter, which ratio is 6.95 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 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 December 31, 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 December 31, 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.

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. On December 20, 2013, the Company commenced a cash tender offer to purchase any or all of the remaining Convertible Notes. See Note 19 "Subsequent Event" to the "Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements" for further information.

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 December 31, 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 December 31, 2013	Other Current Assets	$	1,388	Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities	$	13
Foreign currency contracts at December 31, 2012	Other Current Assets	$	—	Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities	$	1,350
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 nine months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.



		Gain (Loss) Recognized in Income

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments	Location of Gain (Loss) Recognized in Income	Three Months Ended December 31,					Nine Months Ended December 31,
		2013		2012			2013			2012

Foreign currency contracts	Cost of goods and services sold	$	756	$	(627	)	$	(1,917	)	$	(13,876	)

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 December 31,						Nine Months Ended December 31,
	2013			2012			2013			2012
Service cost	$	530		$	512		$	1,608		$	1,535

Special termination benefit	—			—			1,184			—
Net periodic pension cost	$	1,482		$	1,338		$	5,786		$	4,013

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 nine months ended December 31, 2013, contributions of $11,218 were made to pension plans for fiscal 2014. Additional contributions to pension plans of approximately $1,977 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 December 31, 2013, contributions of $547 were made to the plans for fiscal 2014. Additional contributions of $339 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 $100,000, 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 $31,531, $39,214 and $12,316 as a result of the net settlement as of December 31, 2013, December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2013, respectively. 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:



	December 31,				March 31,
	2013		2012		2013
Receivables outstanding in facility	$	218,506	$	213,757	$	156,633
Beneficial interest	$	37,207	$	43,700	$	31,992
Servicing liability	$	115	$	26	$	166
Cash proceeds for the nine months ended December 31:
Cash purchase price	$	571,067	$	481,090
Deferred purchase price	198,489		223,830
Service fees	379		460
Total	$	769,935	$	705,380

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.



	December 31, 2013		December 31, 2012		March 31, 2013
Carrying value	$	777,912	$	1,037,892	$	837,219
Estimated fair value	736,399		1,059,415		877,869

- 22 -

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 December 31, 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 December 31, 2013 by $146 and $294, 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 the greater of historical loss rates or the differential rates with and without the guarantee. Should the loss rates change 10% or 20%, the fair value of the guarantee at December 31, 2013 would change by $335 or $667, 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 December 31, 2013 would change by $672 or $1,330, 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 decreased primarily due to lower volumes shipped and lower average prices as a result of increased shipments of byproducts versus last year, while processing and other revenues were similar to the prior year. Despite tobacco cost increases that were not fully passed on to customers, gross profit, operating income and associated margin percentages improved due to product mix sold. Year-to-date volume and revenue improved; as well as, average price per kilo driven by increased prices paid to suppliers that were partially passed on to customers. Our year-to-date profitability was negatively impacted by the lower recoveries of advances to tobacco suppliers in Africa mainly in the first fiscal quarter, one-time costs associated with our refinancing over the summer and restructuring and asset impairment expenses related to a new joint venture that is anticipated to improve our cost position in the country where that operation in located.

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. Over the summer, we extended our U.S. revolving credit facility maturity to April 2017 and issued $735.0 million of new senior secured second lien notes due 2021 that refinanced $635.0 million of old senior notes. Proceeds from the new notes also partially funded the purchase of $60.0 million of our $115.0 million senior subordinated convertible notes due 2014, as well as transactions fees, expenses and interim interest. Consistent with our internal plan, we finished the quarter ended December 31, 2013 with less inventory than the same period last year, resulting in a cash increase while total debt levels declined. As such, we are taking a portion of available cash and tendering for the remaining $55.0 million of our $115.0 million senior subordinated convertible notes. 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 is on track to experience volume and revenue improvement versus last year with continued focus on core operating income increases, driven by solid full service volume and strong demand for our processing services. South American new crop marketing is beginning now, and along with other markets, is following a delayed purchasing trend versus the prior year due to moving into slight global oversupply. These conditions place less pressure on purchasing activities that reflect the largest proportion of our cost. Our balance sheet is well positioned to meet current global supply conditions with a lower inventory position at December 31, 2013, and uncommitted inventory in our stated range with expectations to further decrease levels by year end. Decreases in inventory levels and focus on reducing working capital have helped reduce total debt less cash at quarter end when compared to last year. As part of our plan, we will continue the global roll out of our integrated production system to continue to improve our dedicated worldwide supplier base that uniquely positions our company to meet customer needs for increasing demand for higher quality.

Three Months Ended December 31, 2013 Compared to Three Months Ended December 31, 2012

Summary. Total sales and other operating revenues decreased 6.4% to $654.5 million primarily due to a 6.7% decrease in tobacco sales revenues to $621.1 million while tobacco costs of sales decreased 7.5% to $550.9 million. The decreases in tobacco sales revenues and tobacco costs were primarily due to 7.1 million less kilos sold this year as a result of shipments from Brazil, Zimbabwe and China that occurred in the third quarter last year and were experienced in earlier quarters this year or have been delayed. Due to a large increase in South American byproducts sold this year, average sales prices and costs per kilo decreased when compared to the prior year. Processing revenue and cost of services remained consistent with last year. As a result, gross margin increased 0.8% to $83.8 million and gross margin as a percentage of sales improved from 11.9% to 12.8%. Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) decreased 10.1% to $30.1 million primarily from reductions in incentive compensation costs, amortization related to internally developed software and professional fees. Restructuring and asset impairment charges this quarter were the result of equipment charges in Africa and further employee termination costs related to our agreement for a joint processing venture in a foreign location. After the impact of SG&A and restructuring costs, operating income increased 1.6% to $50.1 million when compared with the prior year.

Our interest costs were consistent with the prior year as lower average borrowings were offset by higher average rates while our effective tax rate was 42.7% this year compared to 9.3% last year. The variance in the effective tax rate between this year and last year is primarily related to losses for which no tax benefit has been recorded and the effect of exchange gains and losses.

The slight improvement in volumes was the result of a 6.2 million kilo increase in byproducts sales offset by a 5.7 million kilos decrease in lamina sales. The lower lamina sales, primarily due to Brazilian shipments that were accelerated into the first half of the current year compared to the third quarter in the prior year, resulted in decreased sales and cost of sales overall. The impact of the change in product mix this year compared to last year was lower average sales prices and costs per kilo. Processing revenue and cost of services were consistent with last year. As a result, gross margin decreased 13.3% to $20.9 million and gross margin as a percentage of sales decreased from 15.6% to 14.9%. Lower allocations for general corporate services that reduced SG&A were partially offset by increased other operating expense due to an accounts receivable securitization program within the region. The impact of the change in results for the region was a 17.7% decrease in operating income to $13.0 million.

Total sales and other operating revenues improved 12.8% to $32.6 million and cost of sales increased 13.9% to $27.1 million primarily due to increased volumes as our Jordan location is in its first full year of operations. The change in customer mix and product mix lowered average sales prices and average costs per kilo. Processing revenue and cost of services were consistent with last year. As a result, gross margin improved 7.8% to $5.5 million while gross margin as a percentage of sales decreased from 17.6% to 16.9%. The improvement in gross margin was offset by increased allocations for general corporate services that increased SG&A. As a result, operating income remained consistent with last year.

Total sales and other operating revenues decreased 6.6% to $481.3 million mainly due to reduced tobacco sales revenues. Tobacco sales revenues decreased 7.0% to $452.1 million primarily due to an 8.5 million reduction in volumes resulting from shipments in Zimbabwe and China that occurred in the third quarter in the prior year and were either accelerated into prior quarters in the current year or have been delayed. Partially offsetting these decreases were increased volumes in Malawi due to the larger crop size this year. Customer mix, a stronger Euro and higher prices paid to tobacco suppliers across all regions resulted in higher average sales prices. Average costs per kilo only increased slightly as higher green costs were offset by exchange gains primarily related to Euro denominated assets. As a result, tobacco costs decreased 8.4% to $406.1 million. Processing revenue and cost of services remained consistent with the prior year. Despite lower volumes, the increase in average sales prices improved gross margin by 6.5% to $57.4 million and gross margin as a percentage of sales improved from 10.5% to 11.9%. Reductions in certain compensation, amortization related to internally developed software and professional fees that lowered SG&A were offset by increased restructuring and asset impairment charges from additional employee termination costs related to our agreement for a joint processing venture in a foreign location and equipment charges in Africa. As a result of improved gross margin, operating income increased 12.1% to $33.3 million when compared to the prior year.

Summary. Total sales and other operating revenues increased 6.5% to $1,739.1 million due to increased tobacco sales revenue. Tobacco sales revenue and tobacco cost increases were mainly the result of higher prices and shipments delayed from the prior fiscal year. With larger crop sizes in Africa offset by reduced crop sizes in the United States due to excessive rainfall as well as the change in sales from our investee operation in Thailand, volume increases were mainly from sales of South America byproducts. Increased average sales prices primarily resulted from higher green costs across all regions partially offset by the change in product mix. Increased average costs per kilo mainly resulted from higher green costs 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. Reduced customer volumes in Brazil led to lower processing revenues and cost of services. The impact of higher green costs not fully recovered from customers and the losses in Zambia was a 7.3% decrease in gross margin to $196.3 million and a reduction in our gross margin as a percentage of sales from 13.0% to 11.3%. SG&A improvement, primarily from lower incentive compensation costs and stock-based compensation costs partially offset by higher professional fees, was offset mainly by increased restructuring and asset impairment charges primarily attributable to our agreement for a joint processing venture in a foreign location. After the impact of SGA and restructuring costs, operating income decreased 13.4% to $90.4 million when compared with the prior year.

During the nine months ended December 31, 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 $55.7 million were recorded including $21.1million of accelerated amortization of debt issuance costs and recognition of original issue discount related to the 10% senior notes. We have a tender offer pending for the remaining $55.0 million of our convertible notes. Our interest costs increased from the prior year related primarily due to higher average rates and our effective tax rate was (41.2)% this year compared to 65.5% last year. The variance in the effective tax rate between this year and last year is mainly 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.

Total sales and other operating revenues improved 11.3% to $674.5 million due to increased tobacco sales revenue partially offset by lower processing revenues due to reduced customer volumes. Tobacco sales revenues and tobacco costs increased primarily due to higher prices paid to tobacco suppliers which were not fully passed on to our customers. The higher volumes sold this year are mainly byproducts. This change in product mix partially offsets the impact of higher green costs on our average sales prices and costs per kilo. Also offsetting the impact of higher green costs on our costs per kilo was a reduction in derivative losses due to currency movements. However, cost per kilo increases still exceeded sales price increases. As a result, our gross margin improved slightly by 0.4% to $79.1 million while our gross margin as a percentage of sales decreased from 13.0% to 11.7%. Reductions in SG&A attributable to allocations for general corporate services were partially offset by lower other operating income and restructuring expense related to employee termination costs this year. The impact of the change in results for the region was a 2.4% increase in operating income to $42.5 million.

Total sales and other operating revenues decreased 2.7% to $93.5 million primarily due to a 2.5% decrease in tobacco sales revenues to $85.8 million while tobacco costs of sales increased 1.4% to $72.1 million. Tobacco sales revenue decreases were mainly from reduced quantities sold due to a competitive environment in the United States. Customer mix and product mix resulted in slightly higher average sales prices while the impact to cost per kilo was much greater. With our Jordan locations becoming fully operational this year, most of those period costs in the prior year are being capitalized as part of tobacco costs this year. Processing revenues and cost of services decreases were attributable to reduced customer requirements. As a result, our gross margin declined 18.0% to $15.9 million and our gross margin as a percentage of sales decreased from 20.2% to 17.0%. SG&A improved due to allocations for general corporate services. For the year, our operating income decreased 21.2% to $9.3 million compared to last year.

Total sales and other operating revenues improved 4.3% to $971.1 million due to increased tobacco sales revenue as processing revenues and costs of services were comparable with the prior year. Tobacco sales revenue and cost increases were mainly from higher prices across all regions, the timing of shipments in Europe and North America, and product mix. Lower volumes resulted from reduced crop sizes in the United States due to excessive rainfall as well as the change in sales from our investee operation in Thailand being offset by the larger crop sizes in Malawi and earlier shipping in Europe. 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 which increased average sales prices and costs per kilo. Costs per kilo also increased due to other period costs of $11.0 million expensed in Zambia in the current year primarily related to reduced recoveries of advances to tobacco suppliers. The negative impact of appreciating African currencies compared to significant depreciation throughout fiscal 2013, partially offset by a stronger Euro, also contributed to the increase in costs per kilo. These costs are not fully recoverable from customers. The impact was average costs increasing $.36 per kilo while average sales prices only increasing $.30 per kilo which resulted in a gross margin decrease of 10.7% to $101.3 million and gross margin as a percentage of sales declining from 12.2% to 10.4%. Reductions in incentive compensation and stock-based compensation expenses partially offset by higher professional fees that lowered SG&A and improvements in other operating income were offset by restructuring and asset impairment charges related to a joint venture processing agreement in a foreign location and equipment charges in Africa. Mainly a result of lower gross margin, operating income decreased 24.5% to $38.6 million compared to last year.

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 December 31, 2013, we are in the process of repaying our South American related crop lines as we continue to ship inventory and collect receivables. In Africa, we continue to ship product which should continue into the first quarter of fiscal year 2015 as well as the purchase of the new crop which should begin mid-March. In Asia, the Indian Mysore and Indonesian crops are approaching the end of the processing and shipping is in full force. Europe continues shipping of the current crop and is preparing to purchase the new crop during the fourth fiscal quarter. North America has completed flue cured processing with shipping winding down and has commenced the purchasing, processing and shipping of the burley crop which should continue into the fourth fiscal quarter, seasonally elevating its 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 $676.3 million at December 31, 2013. Our current ratio was 1.8 to 1 at December 31, 2013 compared to 2.4 to 1 at March 31, 2013. The decrease in working capital is primarily related to decreased inventory levels due to earlier shipping of the South America and Africa crops and a $50.0 million increase in the current portion of our long-term debt in accordance with terms. The increase in cash on hand is offset by the increase in notes payable to banks due to the timing of repayment of those notes payable.

The following table is a summary of items from the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and Condensed Statements of Consolidated Cash Flows. Approximately $176.8 million of our outstanding cash balance at December 31, 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 provided by operating activities increased $192.3 million from 2012 to 2013. The increase in cash provided 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.

Investing Cash Flows

Net cash used by investing activities decreased $10.5 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 and proceeds from the surrender of life insurance policies. Partially offsetting the decrease in cash used is the change in restrictions on cash in accordance with terms of the related agreements.

Financing Cash Flows

Net cash provided by financing activities decreased $68.8 million in 2013 compared to 2012. This decrease is primarily due to a $282.4 million increase in net repayment of long-term borrowings primarily relating to our debt refinancing this year as well as $51.1 million in related debt issuance, debt retirement and other debt related costs. Partially offsetting this decrease is a $264.5 million increase in net proceeds from short-term borrowings due to the earlier repayment of the South America credit lines in the prior year and the seasonal financing of the purchase and processing of the higher priced United States and Africa crops in the current year.

Debt Financing

We continue to finance our business with a combination of short-term seasonal credit lines, our revolving credit facility, long-term debt securities, customer advances and cash from operations. At December 31, 2013, we had cash of $303.7 million and total debt outstanding of $1,322.1 million comprised of $544.2 million of notes payable to banks, $2.1 million of other long-term debt, $720.8 million of 9.875% senior secured second lien notes and $55.0 million of 5.5% convertible senior subordinated notes. The $187.4 million seasonal increase in notes payable to banks from March 31, 2013 to December 31, 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 December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, were $727.5 million at a weighted average interest rate of 4.3% and $552.7 million at a weighted average interest rate of 4.7%. Aggregated peak borrowings by facility occurring at anytime during the nine months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 were repaid with cash provided by operating activities. Available credit as of December 31, 2013 was $637.1 million comprised of $303.9 million under our revolver, $321.5 million of notes payable to banks, $0.9 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 December 31, 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 1.85 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2013;


•	a maximum consolidated leverage ratio specified for each fiscal quarter, which ratio is 6.95 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 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.

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 Convertible Notes 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. On December 20, 2013, the Company commenced a cash tender offer to purchase any or all of the remaining Convertible Notes. See Note 19 "Subsequent Event" to the "Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements" for further information.

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 December 31, 2013, we had approximately $544.2 million drawn and outstanding on foreign seasonal lines with maximum capacity totaling $881.5 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 $5.0 million issued but unfunded.
