NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The interim statements presented herein should be read in conjunction with the
audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's latest
Annual Report on Form 10-K. The interim period financial statements have been
prepared by the Company without audit and contain all of the adjustments which
are, in the opinion of the management, necessary for a fair statement of the
results of operations. All such adjustments are of normal, recurring nature and
there were no material changes in accounting policies during the period ended
September 30, 2001. Because of the nature of the Company's businesses,
fluctuations in results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of
business trends or results to be expected for other interim periods or a full
year.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
5. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings per share has been presented in conformity with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard No.128. The diluted earnings per share include the effect of
the convertible subordinated debentures which if converted would have increased
the weighted average number of shares and net income applicable to common stock.
The weighted number of shares were further increased by the employee stock
options.
6. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
On April 1, 2001 the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 133 (SFAS 133), "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities", as amended by SFAS No. 137 and SFAS No. 138. SFAS No. 133
establishes new accounting and disclosure requirements for most derivative
instruments and hedge transactions involving derivatives. SFAS No. 133 also
requires formal documentation procedures for hedging relationships and
effectiveness testing when hedge accounting is to be applied.
In accordance with the transition provisions of SFAS No. 133, in the six months
ended September 30, 2001 the Company recorded a cumulative effect loss
adjustment of $2.1 million, net of applicable taxes, in other comprehensive
income to recognize the fair value of all derivatives designated as cash flow
hedging instruments.
The Company's derivative usage is principally foreign currency forwards. These
contracts typically have maturities of less than one year. As a matter of
policy, the Company does not use derivative instruments unless there is an
underlying exposure. The Company's foreign currency forwards have been
designated and qualify as cash flow hedges under the criteria of SFAS No. 133.
SFAS No. 133 requires that changes in fair values of derivatives that qualify as
cash flow hedges be recognized in other comprehensive income, while the
ineffective portion of change in derivatives in fair value be recognized
immediately in earnings. The fair value of the Company's foreign currency
forward contracts at September 30, 2001 was not material.
7. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The Financial Accounting Standards Board recently issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141, "Business Combinations" and No. 142
"Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". SFAS No. 141 requires the purchase
method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June
30, 2001. SFAS No. 142 requires that upon adoption, amortization of goodwill
cease and instead, the carrying value of goodwill be evaluated for impairment on
an annual basis. Identifiable intangible assets will continue to be amortized
over their useful lives and reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS No.
121 "Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long Lived Assets to
be Disposed Of". SFAS No. 142 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2001. The Company will be required to adopt SFAS No. 142 on April
1, 2002 and is in the process of evaluating the impact of this pronouncement.
8. SENIOR NOTES
The 8 7/8% Senior Notes due 2005 were issued by Standard Commercial Tobacco Co.,
Inc. (the "Issuer"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company and
Standard Wool, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the
"Guarantors"), jointly and severally, guarantee, on a senior basis, the full and
prompt performance of the Issuer's obligations under the terms of the indenture.
Management has determined that full financial statements of the Guarantors would
not be material to investors and such financial statements are not provided. The
following supplemental combining financial statements present information
regarding the Issuer and the Guarantors.

ITEM 2
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
Results of Operations
Sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2001 were $245.5 million, a decrease
of 2.8% from a year earlier. Sales for the six-month period were $466.7 million,
an increase of 3.1% from same period a year earlier. Tobacco division sales of
$203.0 million and $373.3 million for the quarter and six months were down 2.5%
and up 7.6%, respectively, from the corresponding periods in the prior year. The
average unit price during the quarter was lower than the corresponding period in
fiscal 2001. Overall, for the quarter, tobacco volume was up 10.5%, largely due
to increased shipments from South America, Africa, Europe and Asia. For the six
months, volume was 19.5% higher than the corresponding period in fiscal 2001.
Fiscal 2001 period shipments were affected by crop delays in Brazil and Africa.
This year's second quarter sales were also impacted by the change to contract
buying by cigarette manufacturers in the United States. We expect that this will
continue for the remainder of the current fiscal year, which will result in
lower sales revenues. However, we continue to receive and process these tobaccos
and do not expect income to be impacted by this change. Nontobacco sales of
$42.5 million and $93.4 million for the current quarter and six months,
respectively, were down 4.4% and 11.5% from the same periods a year earlier. The
September quarter is usually weak due to Europe's summer holiday season. Wool
sales were also affected by lower demand in Europe, where the spinners reacted
to a drop-off in the demand for textile goods as consumers reacted to global
economic uncertainty.
Gross profit for the quarter and six months of $42.5 million and $69.4 million
improved 51.2% and 28.3% from the corresponding periods in fiscal 2001, due to
an increase in unit volume, sales mix and the contribution from the new
processing line in Brazil. The additional processing capacity has enabled the
Company to pack and ship customers' tobacco in a more efficient manner. In the
past some of these tobaccos were processed and delivered during the third
quarter due to insufficient processing capacity. Total interest expense was
$4.5 million and $5.0 million lower than the corresponding quarter and six
months periods in fiscal 2001 due to the Company's debt repurchase program,
lower inventories and lower rates on short-term borrowings. Selling, general
and administrative expenses decreased due to cost saving programs in both
divisions. Prior year periods selling, general and adminstrative expenses
included our Greek subsidiary company, which was traded for the remaining 49%
interest in our Turkish operation during fiscal 2001. The increase in other
income (expense)-net for the current six months period was mainly due to
insurance recoveries of $0.7 million.
The effective tax rate increased to 44.6% and 45.5% in the current second
quarter and six months from 37.1% and 43.4% in the corresponding periods a year
earlier. This was due to differences in tax rates and credits not utilized in
some areas where losses were incurred. For the periods ended September 30, 2001
losses were incurred in the nontobacco segment where tax relief was not
available. This segment recorded a small profit during the prior year periods.
Net income for the quarter was $13.1 million, or $0.99 and $0.91 per share on a
basic and diluted basis, respectively, versus $5.7 million, or $0.43 per share
on both a basic and diluted basis for the corresponding prior year period. For
the six-month period, net income was $16.8 million, or $1.27 and $1.19 per
share on a basic and diluted basis respectively, versus $7.3 million, or $0.56
per share in the prior year period. The prior periods net income included an
extraordinary gain of $0.05 per share due to buyback of convertible
subordinated debentures. Basic and diluted earnings are the same in the prior
year periods because the calculation of diluted earnings per share includes
adjustments that are antidilutive.

STANDARD COMMERCIAL CORPORATION
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (continued)
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Working capital at September 30, 2001 was $212.0 million, compared to $193.6
million a year earlier. Most of the increase was due to contributions from
operating activities. During the current six months the Company bought $2.0
million of its Senior Notes using internally generated working capital. Capital
expenditures of $7.2 million during the current six months consisted of routine
expenditures of $5.9 million in the tobacco division and $1.3 million in wool
division. The Company continues to closely monitor its inventory levels, which
are down from $343.7 million a year ago to $294.7 million at September 30,
2001.
On June 7, 2001 the Company's major tobacco subsidiaries amended their global
revolving bank credit facility. The facility was decreased from $250.0 million
to $230.0 million. The maturity date has been extended to July 31, 2003 from
July 31, 2002. Financial covenants and other terms and conditions are
essentially unchanged. Borrowings under the facility continue to be guaranteed
by the Company and are secured by substantially all of the assets of the
borrowers. Certain debt agreements to which the Company and its subsidiaries
are parties contain financial covenants that could restrict the payment of cash
dividends. Under its most restrictive covenant, the Company had approximately
$15.8 million of retained earnings available for distribution as dividends at
September 30, 2001.
Based on the outlook for the business for the next twelve months, management
anticipates that it will be able to service the interest and principal on its
indebtedness, maintain adequate working capital and provide for capital
expenditures out of operating cash flow and available borrowings under its
credit facilities.
Forward-Looking Statements
Statements in this report that are not purely statements of historical fact may
be deemed to be forward-looking. Readers are cautioned that any such forward-
looking statements are based upon management's current knowledge and
assumptions, and actual results could be affected in a material way by many
factors, including ones over which the Company has little or no control, e.g.
unforeseen changes in shipping schedules; the balance between supply and
demand; and market, economic, political and weather conditions. More
information regarding certain of these factors is contained in the Company's
other SEC filings, copies of which are available upon request from the Company.
The Company assumes no obligation to update any of these forward-looking
statements.
