(1)	Includes South America, Africa, Europe, and Asia regions, as well as inter-region eliminations.

(2)

Includes Dark Air-Cured, Oriental and Special Services, as well as inter-company eliminations. Oriental does not contribute significantly to the reported amounts for sales and other operating revenues, goodwill, depreciation and amortization, or capital expenditures because its financial results consist principally of equity in the pretax earnings of an unconsolidated affiliate. The investment in the unconsolidated affiliate is included in segment assets and was approximately $89.7 million, $110.8 million, and $101.4 million, at March 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010, respectively.


(3)	Item is included in segment operating income, but is not included in consolidated operating income.


(4)	Item is not included in segment operating income, but is included in consolidated operating income.
