Alliance One International Inc. (AOI) is a global independent leaf tobacco merchant. The Company selects, purchases, processes, stores, packs and ships tobacco grown in more than 45 countries, serving manufacturers of cigarettes and other consumer tobacco products in more than 90 countries around the world. The Company processes tobacco through a mechanized threshing and separating operation and then dries it to meet precise moisture levels in accordance with the customer's specifications.

In the report, the analyst notes:

"On June 22, President Obama and the U.S. Congress enacted a new law granting the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) the authority to regulate tobacco products. Members of Congress and public health organizations have worked for more than a decade to grant the FDA the authority to regulate the manufacturing, marketing and sale of tobacco products. The legislation was endorsed by more than 1,000 public health, faith and other organizations across the country. It is also supported by 70% of American voters. Meanwhile, some large tobacco companies jointly filed a lawsuit in Kentucky against the U.S. and the FDA, claiming the law imposes 'unprecedented restrictions' on First Amendment Rights. For instance, the law prohibits tobacco companies from jointly marketing their cigarettes with non-tobacco products. ...

"Recently, one of the Company's significant customers, Japan Tobacco Inc., announced its planned acquisition of a leaf processing business in Malawi and a leaf processing business in Brazil, and the formation of a joint venture to acquire tobacco leaf in the U.S. These transactions could have a material adverse effect on AOI's financial condition and results of operations."
