PART I
ITEM 1.BUSINESS
Baldwin Technology Company, Inc. ("Baldwin" or the "Company") is the leading
international manufacturer of material handling, accessory, control and
pre-press equipment for the printing industry. The Company offers its customers
a broad range of products designed to enhance the quality of printed products
and increase the productivity and cost-efficiency of printing presses while
addressing the environmental concerns and safety issues involved in the printing
process. Baldwin's products include cleaning systems, fountain solution and ink
control systems, web control and press protection systems, web and material
handling systems, newspaper inserter equipment and automated imposition and
plate exposure equipment.
The Company sells its products both to printers to upgrade the quality and
capability of existing presses and to printing press manufacturers which
incorporate the Company's products with their own equipment for sale to
printers. The Company has product development and manufacturing facilities, as
well as sales and service operations, in its three major sectors: the Americas,
Europe and Asia Pacific.
INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
Baldwin operates in a highly fragmented market. The Company defines its
business as that of providing material handling, accessory, control and
pre-press equipment for the printing industry. The Company believes that it
produces the most complete line of material handling, accessory, control and
pre-press equipment for the printing industry.
The Company's products are used by printers engaged in all printing
processes including lithography, gravure, letterpress and flexography. The
largest share of its business is in offset (lithography) printing. Offset
printing is the largest segment of the domestic printing market and is used
primarily for printing books, magazines, business forms, catalogs, greeting
cards, packaging and newspapers. The Company's products are designed to improve
the printing process in terms of both quality of the finished product as well as
its cost efficiency.
Although offset printing represents a significant segment of the U.S.
commercial printing industry, it is not as dominant in the international
printing market. The Company believes that the future growth of this
international market will be attributable in large part to the increased use of
offset printing. The Company has established operations in each of its three
major sectors to take advantage of growth opportunities in these markets.
Baldwin's worldwide operations enable it to closely monitor new product
developments in different printing markets and to introduce new products, or
adapt existing ones, to meet the printing requirements of specific local markets
throughout the world.
PRINCIPAL PRODUCTS
The Company manufactures and sells more than 200 different products to
printers and printing press manufacturers. The Company's product development is
focused on the needs of the printer. Typically, it takes a new product several
years after its introduction to make a significant contribution to the Company's
net sales. Initially, after the introduction of a new product, the Company's
marketing efforts usually focus on printers. With the exception of the Company's
Kansa and Misomex product lines, as a product progresses through its life cycle,
the percentage of sales to printing press manufacturers generally increases as
the product's acceptance by the industry increases and printers begin to specify
certain of the Company's products as part of their accessory or material
handling equipment package when ordering new presses. The Company's Kansa and
Misomex product lines are primarily marketed to printers. Historically, the
Company's products have had a long life cycle as the Company continually
upgrades and refines its product
1
4
lines to meet customer needs and changes in printing press technology. The
Company's products help printers address increasingly demanding print quality,
environmental and safety issues while enhancing productivity. Nearly all of the
Company's products also significantly limit paper waste, which is especially
important given the high cost of paper. The Company's sales have historically
increased about equally through both internal product development and
acquisitions of product lines and companies.
The Company's products range in price from under $100 to approximately
$500,000. Baldwin's principal products are:
ACCESSORIES AND CONTROLS.
CLEANING SYSTEMS.The Company's first Cleaning Systems product was the Press
Washer which cleaned the ink train of an offset press. Additional Cleaning
Systems products include the Automatic Blanket Cleaner, Newspaper Blanket
Cleaner, Chill Roll Cleaner and Guide Roll Cleaner, which all reduce paper
waste, volatile organic compound ("VOC") emissions and press downtime, as well
as improve productivity, print quality and safety of operation for the press
operator. In 1995, IMPACT(TM), a patented automated blanket and press cylinder
cleaning system was introduced and won the Graphic Arts Technical Foundation
Intertech Award. In the fiscal years ended June 30, 1996, 1995 and 1994, net
sales of Cleaning Systems represented approximately 27.8%, 30.2% and 32.6% of
the Company's net sales, respectively.
Fountain Solution Control Systems.Fountain Solution Control Systems control
the supply, temperature, cleanliness, chemical composition and certain other
characteristics of water used in the offset printing process. Among the most
important of these products are the Company's Refrigerated Circulators and Spray
Dampening Systems. In the fiscal years ended June 30, 1996, 1995 and 1994, net
sales of Fountain Solution Control Systems represented approximately 13.3%,
13.2% and 12.6% of the Company's net sales, respectively.
WEB CONTROL AND PRESS PROTECTION SYSTEMS.The Company's Web Control Systems
improve print quality by precisely controlling the flow of paper through a web
offset press while also reducing waste and increasing press productivity. The
Company's Press Protection Systems, designed in response to the increasing
number of web leads used in printing today's colorful newspapers, provide an
auto-arming electronic package offering high quality press protection in the
event of a web break.
OTHER ACCESSORY AND CONTROL EQUIPMENT.The Company's Ink Control Systems
control and regulate many aspects of the ink feed system on a printing press.
These products include Ink Agitators, Ink Mixers and Ink Level Systems which
reduce wasted ink and paper and allow for the use of recyclable ink containers.
Other products include Ultra-Violet and Infra-Red Dryers for sheet-fed presses
and Gluing Systems. In the fiscal years ended June 30, 1996, 1995 and 1994, net
sales of these products represented approximately 12.0%, 10.3% and 9.8% of the
Company's net sales, respectively.
MATERIAL HANDLING.
WEB HANDLING SYSTEMS.The Company's Web Handling Systems, produced by its
Enkel and Amal subsidiaries, unwind, rewind and splice paper and other materials
supplied to presses in webs and also control the tension and position of web
materials. This equipment eliminates unnecessary press stoppages and allows a
more efficient flow of printed work. In the fiscal years ended June 30, 1996,
1995 and 1994, net sales of Web Handling Systems represented approximately
13.8%, 14.3% and 12.9% of the Company's net sales, respectively.

MATERIAL HANDLING/STACKING SYSTEMS.Baldwin's Material Handling/Stacking
Systems automate the handling of the printed product. The efficient counting,
stacking, packing and compressing of printed materials helps to increase press
utilization and productivity, reduce and control waste and decrease pressroom
labor requirements.
IN-LINE FINISHING SYSTEMS.The Company's In-line Finishing products allow
printers to perform automatically, at press speeds, functions which previously
required special handling in the bindery. These functions include numbering,
perforating, gluing and cutting.
NEWSPAPER INSERTER EQUIPMENT AND MAILING MACHINE SYSTEMS.The Company's
Newspaper Inserter Equipment collates and inserts sections and advertising
material into newspapers. Rising newsprint costs in the printing industry have
increased pressure on printers to reduce other costs, particularly labor costs.
When manual processes are replaced by newspaper inserters, payback periods as
low as six months have been realized by some purchasers of this equipment. The
Company's Mailing Machine Systems fold, label and prepare newspapers for
mailing.
PRE-PRESS.
AUTOMATED IMPOSITION, PLATE EXPOSURE AND PLOTTING AND CUTTING SYSTEMS. The
Company's Automated Imposition and Plate Exposure Systems are used by printers
to automate a labor intensive operation that results in the high quality and
accuracy of images on plates used in the offset printing process. The Company's
Laserstepper(TM) is designed to expose both film images and digital information
directly onto printing plates. The Laserstepper(TM) technology allows printers
to intermix conventional film and digital data within the page, or page by page,
on the plate. Furthermore, the technology allows the printer to upgrade to more
efficient digital platemaking technologies without losing the flexibility to
work with conventional input. Printers can thus sharpen their competitive edge
in traditional markets while developing the digital capabilities needed for
future success. The Platesetter(TM) is designed to image plates directly from
digital data offering continuous "hands-off" plate production of large amounts
of digital data. In addition to accommodating both film and plate as well as
different plate sizes, it handles oversize plates, a key advantage in today's
market. The Company's Plotting and Cutting systems are widely used in the
packaging and corrugated carton industries and are designed to plot, cut, crease
and mill a wide range of materials. In the fiscal years ended June 30, 1996,
1995 and 1994, net sales of Automated Imposition and Plate Exposure Systems
represented approximately 11.4%, 11.7% and 14.0% of the Company's net sales,
respectively.
WORLDWIDE OPERATIONS
The Company believes that it is the only manufacturer of material handling,
accessory, control and pre-press equipment for the printing industry which has
complete product development, manufacturing and marketing facilities in its
three major sectors: the Americas, Europe and Asia Pacific.
The following table sets forth the percentages of the Company's net sales
attributable to its three sectors in the fiscal years ended June 30, 1996, 1995
and 1994:

In its Americas sector, the Company operates in North, Central and South
America through its U.S. subsidiaries. In its European sector, the Company
operates through its subsidiaries in Germany, Sweden, Italy, France, England
and the Netherlands. In its Asia Pacific sector, the Company operates
through its subsidiaries in Japan, Hong Kong, China and Australia. All of the
Company's subsidiaries are wholly owned.
For additional information relating to the Company's operations in its three
principal sectors, see Note 4 -- Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
ACQUISITION STRATEGY
An important element of the Company's growth strategy is to make strategic
acquisitions of companies and product lines in related business areas. The
Company's acquisition strategy involves (i) acquiring new material handling,
accessory, control and pre-press products for the printing industry which can be
sold through the Company's own, or the acquired entity's, distribution network
and which can benefit from the Company's manufacturing expertise and financial
support; (ii) entering new end-user market segments or extending existing
markets; and (iii) acquiring companies which contribute new products to the
Company. After it makes an acquisition, the Company typically supports the
existing management of the acquired entity and participates actively with that
management in implementing operational strategies with a view to enhancing the
entity's sales, productivity and operating results.
MARKETING, SALES AND SUPPORT
Marketing.The Company markets its products in almost all developed countries
throughout the world. Although Baldwin markets a similar line of products in
many of these countries, its product mix and distribution channels vary from
country to country. The Company has 152 employees devoted to marketing and sales
activities in its three principal markets and over 300 dealers worldwide. The
Company markets its products to printing press manufacturers and to printers.
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996 approximately 44% of the Company's net
sales were to printing press manufacturers and approximately 56% of its net
sales were directly to printers.
In its Americas and European sectors, the Company markets its products both
through direct sales representatives and an extensive dealer network. In its
Asia Pacific sector, the Company markets its products through direct sales
representatives in Japan, Hong Kong, China and Australia and through dealers
throughout the rest of Asia.
Support.The Company is committed to after-sales service and support of its
products throughout the world. Baldwin employs approximately 119 service
technicians, who are complemented by product engineers, to provide field service
for the Company's products on a global basis.
Backlog.The Company's backlog was $69,351,000 as of June 30, 1996, including
$8,444,000 of backlog related to the acquired Acrotec operations, $71,866,000 as
of June 30, 1995 and $58,455,000 as of June 30, 1994. Backlog represents product
orders which Baldwin has received from its customers under valid contracts or
purchase orders.
Customers.The Company has a diverse customer base. In the fiscal years ended
June 30, 1996, 1995 and 1994, no customer accounted for 10% or more of the
Company's net sales. The ten largest customers of Baldwin accounted for less
than 41% of the Company's net sales for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996.
Sales of Baldwin's products are not seasonal. However, its sales have
traditionally been greater in the second six months of its fiscal year than in
the first six months of its fiscal year.

RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT AND ENGINEERING
The Company believes its research, development and engineering efforts have
been an important factor in establishing and maintaining its leadership position
in the field of material handling, accessory, control and pre-press equipment
for the printing industry. In 1995, the Company was awarded the prestigious
Intertech Award from the Graphic Arts Technical Foundation (see Principal
Products -- Cleaning Systems). This is the Company's sixth such award since the
Intertech Award was established in 1978 to recognize technologies that are
predicted to have a major impact on the graphic communications industry, but are
not yet in widespread use in the marketplace. Baldwin has devoted substantial
efforts to adapt its products to almost all models and sizes of printing presses
in use worldwide.
The Company has product development facilities at each of its manufacturing
locations. This decentralized approach to research and development permits the
Company to react quickly to meet the needs of its customers.
Baldwin employs approximately 205 persons whose primary function is new
product development or modification of existing products. The Company's total
expenditures for research, development and engineering for the fiscal years
ended June 30, 1996, 1995 and 1994 were $21,022,000, $17,296,000 and
$15,409,000, respectively, representing approximately 8% of the Company's net
sales in each year.
PATENTS
The Company owns and licenses a number of patents and patent applications
relating to a substantial number of Baldwin's products. These products
represented a substantial portion of the Company's net sales in the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1996. The Company's patents expire at different times through
June, 2013; however, the expiration of patents in the near future is not
expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's sales. The Company
has also relied upon and intends to continue to rely upon unpatented proprietary
technology, including the proprietary engineering required to adapt its products
to a wide range of models and sizes of printing presses. The Company believes
its rights under, and interests in, its patents and patent applications, as well
as its proprietary technology, are sufficient for its business as currently
conducted.
MANUFACTURING
The Company conducts its manufacturing operations through a number of
operating subsidiaries in each of its three sectors. In North America, the
Company has subsidiaries with manufacturing facilities located on the East
Coast, in the Midwest and on the West Coast.
In Europe, the Company has subsidiaries with manufacturing and assembly
facilities in Germany, Sweden and England. These facilities manufacture and
assemble complete lines of products that are in demand by printers worldwide
and by printing press manufacturers in Europe for shipment throughout the
world. The Company also has sales/service facilities in Germany, Sweden, Italy,
France and England. In Asia, Baldwin has manufacturing and assembly facilities
in Japan and China and sales/service facilities in Japan, Hong Kong, China and
Australia.
In general, raw materials required by the Company can be obtained from
various sources in the quantities desired. The Company has no long-term supply
contracts and does not consider itself dependent on any individual supplier.
The nature of most operations of the Company is such that there is little,
if any, negative effect upon the environment, and the Company has not
experienced any serious problems in complying with environmental protection laws
and regulations.

COMPETITION
The printing press accessory industry is highly fragmented. Although the
Company believes it produces the most complete line of material handling,
accessory, control and pre-press equipment for the printing industry, numerous
companies manufacture and sell products that compete with one or more of the
Company's products. The Company competes from time to time with printing press
manufacturers who, as a part of their businesses, produce material handling,
accessory and control equipment for the printing industry and who generally have
larger staffs and greater financial resources than the Company.
The Company competes by offering customers a broad product line, coupled
with a well-known reputation for the reliability of its products and its
commitment to service and after-sale support. Some of the Company's products
with patent protection have little or no direct competition. The Company's
ability to compete effectively in the future will depend upon the continued
reliability of its products, after-sale service, ability to keep its market
position as its patents expire and ability to develop new products which meet
the demands of the printing industry.
EMPLOYEES
The Company employs 1,298 persons, 611 of whom are production employees and
approximately 163 of whom are management and administrative employees.
Approximately 35% of the Company's 138 employees in its Baldwin Graphic Products
Division in the United States are represented by the International Association
of Machinists and Aerospace Workers under a contract which expires on November
9, 1996. In Europe, employees are represented by various unions, under contracts
with indefinite terms. In Sweden, 49, 30 and 3 of the Company's 134 employees at
its Misomex AB subsidiary are represented by the Swedish Industrial Salaried
Employees' Association, the Swedish Metal Workers' Union and Civilingenior
forb., respectively. At Amal AB, 4, 37 and 23 of the Company's 60 employees are
represented by Ledarna (SALF), Lundsorganisationen, Metall and Tjanstemannene
Central Organisation, and Svenska Industritjanstemanna Forbundet, respectively.
At Acrotec AB's IVT Division, 2, 8 and 13 of the Company's 36 employees
are represented by Ledarna (SALF), Lundsorganisationen, Metall and
Tjanstemannene Central Organisation, and Svenska Industritjanstemanna Forbundet,
respectively. In Germany, at Baldwin Gegenheimer GmbH, approximately 45 of the
Company's 232 employees are represented by the IG Metall (Metalworker's Union).
The Company considers relations with its employees and with its unions to be
good.
ITEM 2.PROPERTIES
The Company's facilities are divided among its three sectors and total
approximately 766,000 square feet.
In North America, manufacturing and office space leased by the Company and
its subsidiaries total approximately 329,000 square feet of which space
approximately 8,400 square feet is sublet. An additional 52,800 square feet of
office and manufacturing space is owned by Kansa Corporation, subject to an
Industrial Revenue Bond.
In Europe, the Company has leased facilities totalling approximately 194,000
square feet comprised of office and manufacturing facilities in Germany
(approximately 133,000 square feet), Sweden (approximately 29,000 square feet),
Italy (approximately 1,300 square feet), France (approximately 1,800 square
feet), the Netherlands (approximately 600 square feet) and England
(approximately 28,000 square feet of which 1,350 square feet is sublet). In
addition, the Company owns manufacturing facilities in Sweden totalling
approximately 147,000 square feet.

In Asia, the Company leases office and manufacturing facilities of
approximately 40,000 square feet in Japan and 1,100 square feet in Beijing and
office facilities aggregating approximately 2,500 square feet in Hong Kong,
Shanghai, Melbourne and Sydney.
The Company believes that its facilities are adequate to carry on its
business as currently conducted.
ITEM 3.LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
There are no legal proceedings pending to which the Company is a party or to
which any of its property is subject, other than routine litigation incidental
to the Company's business or which is covered by insurance and which would not
have a material adverse effect on the Company.

COMPANY'S FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 VERSUS FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1995
The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain significant
factors which have affected the Company's financial position and consolidated
financial statements.
Net Sales.Net sales for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996 increased by
$36,960,000, or 16.6%, to $259,301,000 from $222,341,000 for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1995. Currency rate fluctuations attributable to the Company's
overseas operations decreased net sales for the current period by $2,340,000 and
acquisitions added $20,947,000 to net sales. Product volume was the primary
reason for the $18,353,000 remainder of the increase of which $11,764,000
occurred in the Americas Sector. In terms of local currency, sales changes were
mixed within the European Sector. Sales decreased in Germany by 3.5%, increased
in England by 14.7% and increased in Sweden by 5.6%. Local currency sales in the
Company's Asia Pacific Sector increased 7.1% in Japan. In the Americas Sector,
net sales increased by 12.2% for the year due to a continued strengthening and
improvement in the U.S. printing equipment market.
Gross Profit.Gross profit for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996 was
$86,030,000 (33.2% of net sales), as compared to $75,614,000 (34.0% of net
sales) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1995, an increase of $10,416,000 or
13.8%. Gross profit decreased by $751,000 on fluctuations in currency rates and
increased by $8,025,000 due to acquisitions with the remainder of the change due
to volume, product mix and other factors. Gross profit was lower as a percentage
of sales when compared to the prior year due primarily to the sales of products
that contribute lower gross profits, pressure on sales prices and increased
technical service costs.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.Selling, general and
administrative expenses were $52,799,000 (20.4% of net sales) for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 1996, as compared to $45,847,000 (20.6% of net sales) for
the prior year, an increase of $6,952,000. Currency rate fluctuations decreased
the current year's expenses by $263,000 and acquisitions added $5,561,000.
Increased sales expenses related to volume increases, additional personnel and
trade shows were primarily responsible for the remainder
11
14
of the increase. Other operating expenses, before restructuring charges (see
Note 3 -- Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements) increased by $3,726,000
over the same period of the prior year. Fluctuations in currency rates decreased
these expenses by $35,000 and acquisitions increased these expenses by
$2,609,000. The remainder of the increase in these expenses relates to increased
engineering personnel and costs associated with the development of new products,
particularly in the Company's pre-press business.
Interest and Other.Interest expense for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996
was $4,032,000, as compared to $3,436,000 for the fiscal year ended June 30,
1995. Interest expense increased by $357,000 due to acquisitions with the
remainder due primarily to an increase in the amount of outstanding indebtedness
related to the purchase of a manufacturing facility. Foreign currency rate
fluctuations increased interest expense by $16,000. Interest income was $552,000
and $577,000 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 1996 and June 30, 1995,
respectively. Currency rate fluctuations decreased interest income by $74,000
and acquisitions added $142,000 to interest income for the current period. Other
income was $1,490,000 and $1,130,000 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 1996
and June 30, 1995, respectively, and includes foreign currency transaction gains
of $594,000 and $152,000 for the current and prior period, respectively. The
remaining net decrease in other income is primarily due to increased royalty
income offset by currency rate fluctuations which decreased other income by
$200,000 and acquisitions which decreased other income by $92,000 during the
current period.
Income Taxes.The Company's effective tax rate on income before restructuring
charges (see Note 8 -- Notes to Consolidated Statements) was 46.0% for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1996 as compared to 47.4% for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1995. Currency rate fluctuations decreased the provision for income
taxes by $339,000 during the current period. The effective rate reflects the
impact of foreign source income which is taxed at substantially higher rates
than domestic income. No tax benefit was recorded on the $3,000,000 charge for
restructuring due to the Company's tax loss carryforward position in Germany.
The decrease from the prior year's effective rate is primarily caused by an
increase in income generated by domestic operations which is taxed at rates
which are generally lower than the rates applied to foreign income (see Note 8
- -- Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).
Net Income.Net income for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996 decreased by
$3,133,000 or 55.4% to $2,518,000 from $5,651,000 for the fiscal year ended June
30, 1995. Restructuring charges decreased net income by $3,000,000 and currency
rate fluctuations decreased net income by $398,000 for the current period. Net
income per share was $0.14 and $0.32 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 1996
and 1995, respectively. Net income per share was decreased by $(0.17) for
restructuring charges and the results of the acquired Acrotec operations
decreased net income per share by $(0.02). Weighted average equivalent shares
outstanding during the fiscal years ended June 30, 1996 and June 30, 1995 were
17,792,938 and 17,939,421, respectively.
COMPANY'S FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 VERSUS FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1994
The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain significant
factors which have affected the Company's financial position and consolidated
financial statements.
Net Sales.Net sales for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1995 increased by
$24,286,000, or 12.3%, to $222,341,000 from $198,055,000 for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1994. Currency rate fluctuations attributable to the Company's
overseas operations accounted for an increase of $14,073,000 in net sales for
the current year. Product volume was the primary reason for the remainder of the
increase. In terms of local currency, sales changes were mixed within the
European Sector. Sales increased in Germany by 2.2%, increased in the United
Kingdom by 7.9% and decreased in Sweden by 2.3%. In the Company's
12
15
Asia Pacific Sector, local currency sales decreased 1.7% in Japan and 25.4% in
Australia but increased by 33% in Hong Kong and 25.9% in China. In the Americas
Sector, net sales increased by 11.8% for the year due to a continued
strengthening and improvement in the U.S. printing equipment market.
Gross Profit.Gross profit for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1995 was
$75,614,000 (34.0% of net sales), as compared to $68,004,000 (34.3% of net
sales) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1994, an increase of $7,610,000 or
11.2%. Currency rate fluctuations increased gross profit by $4,000,000 and the
primary reason for the remainder of the increase in gross profit was due to
increased volume.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.Selling, general and
administrative expenses were $45,847,000 (20.6% of net sales) for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 1995, as compared to $42,068,000 (21.2% of net sales) for
the prior year, an increase of $3,779,000. Currency rate fluctuations increased
the current year's expenses by $2,283,000. The remainder of the increase was due
to marketing expenses related to increased sales volumes and trade show activity
offset by a reduction in bad debt expense.
Interest and Other.Interest expense for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1995
was $3,436,000, as compared to $3,694,000 for the fiscal year ended June 30,
1994. Interest expense decreased primarily as a result of a reduction in the
amount of outstanding indebtedness. Foreign currency exchange effects increased
interest expense by $408,000. Interest income was $577,000 and $381,000 for the
fiscal years ended June 30, 1995 and June 30, 1994, respectively. Other income
was $1,130,000 and $887,000 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 1995 and June
30, 1994, respectively, with the increase primarily due to increased royalty
income. Foreign currency exchange effects decreased other income by $29,000
during the current period.
Income Taxes.The Company's effective tax rate was 47.4% for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1995 as compared to 49.0% for the fiscal year ended June 30,
1994. The effective rate reflects the impact of foreign source income which is
taxed at substantially higher rates than domestic income. The decrease from the
prior year's effective rate is primarily caused by an increase in income
generated by domestic operations which is taxed at rates which are generally
lower than the rates applied to foreign income (see Note 8 -- Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements). Foreign currency exchange effects increased
the provision for income taxes by $270,000 during the current period.
Net Income.Net income for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1995 increased by
$1,519,000 or 36.8% to $5,651,000 from $4,132,000 for the fiscal year ended June
30, 1994. Currency exchange effects increased reported net income by $148,000
for the current period. Net income per share was $0.32 and $0.23 for the fiscal
years ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Weighted average equivalent
shares outstanding during the fiscal years ended June 30, 1995 and June 30, 1994
were 17,939,421 and 18,015,295, respectively.
IMPACT OF INFLATION
The Company's results are affected by the impact of inflation on
manufacturing and operating costs. Historically, the Company has used selling
price adjustments, cost containment programs and improved operating efficiencies
to offset the otherwise negative impact of inflation on its operations.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's long-term debt includes $25,000,000 of 8.17% senior notes (the
"Senior Notes") due October 29, 2000. The Company also has a three-year
$20,000,000 Revolving Credit Agreement (the "Revolver") with NationsBank of
North Carolina, National Association, as Agent, which matures in December, 1998.
The Senior Notes and the Revolver require the Company to maintain certain
financial covenants and have certain restrictions regarding the payment of
dividends, limiting them throughout
13
16
the terms of the Senior Notes and the Revolver to $3,000,000 plus 50% of the
Company's net income after June 30, 1993. In addition, the Company was required
to pledge certain of the shares of its domestic subsidiaries as collateral for
both the Senior Notes and the Revolver.
Both the Senior Notes and the Revolver require the Company to maintain a
ratio of current assets to current liabilities (as those terms are defined in
the agreements) of not less than 1.4 to 1. At June 30, 1996, this ratio was 1.59
to 1.
As reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, the net cash used
by investing activities for the year ended June 30, 1996 was $12,086,000 as
compared to $1,507,000 for the year ended June 30, 1995. This increase was
primarily due to the acquisition of Acrotec AB and its subsidiaries, net of
acquired cash and the purchase of a previously leased Swedish manufacturing
facility for SEK 28,840,000 ($4,364,000). The net cash used by financing
activities was $4,911,000 for the year ended June 30, 1996 as compared to
$2,797,000 for the year ended June 30, 1995 primarily due to the increased
purchase of treasury stock during the current period.
The Company's working capital decreased by $7,525,000 or 14.0% from
$53,575,000 at June 30, 1995 to $46,050,000 at June 30, 1996. Currency rate
fluctuations decreased working capital by $3,792,000 and acquisitions, net of
cash acquired, added $4,912,000 to working capital for the current period. Cash
used to finance the Acrotec acquisition and to purchase the Swedish
manufacturing facility were primarily responsible for the remainder of the
change in working capital.
The Company maintains relationships with foreign and domestic banks which
have extended credit facilities to the Company totaling $39,698,000, including
amounts available under the Revolver. As of June 30, 1996, the Company had
outstanding $11,571,000 under these lines of credit, of which $1,867,000 is
classified as long-term debt. Total debt levels as reported on the balance sheet
at June 30, 1996 are $1,279,000 lower then they would have been if June 30, 1995
exchange rates had been used.
Net capital expenditures made to meet the normal business needs of the
Company for the fiscal years ended June 30, 1996 and June 30, 1995, including
commitments for capital lease payments, were $2,177,000 and $1,863,000,
respectively.
The Company believes its cash flow from operations and available bank lines
of credit are sufficient to finance its working capital and other capital
requirements for the near and long-term future.

SUPPLEMENTAL SCHEDULE OF NON-CASH INVESTING AND FINANCING ACTIVITIES;
Fiscal year ended June 30, 1996. The Company acquired the capital stock
of Acrotec AB and its subsidiaries (Acrotec) in a purchase transaction for
consideration of $7,848,000 ($5,660,000 in cash and 350,000 shares of the
Company's Class A Common Stock). The fair value of the acquired assets
excluding goodwill was $16,915,000 and the liabilities assumed were
$12,539,000. The excess of the purchase price over the net assets acquired of
$3,472,000 was recorded as goodwill.
A restructuring charge was expensed during the second quarter of the
fiscal year in a non-cash transaction of $3,000,000. The change in the related
liability is recorded as a change in "Other accounts payable and accrued
liabilities" for cash flow purposes. (See Note 3 -- Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements.)
Other assets includes $267,000 of previously capitalized patent costs
unrealized as royalties at June 30, 1996.
The Company entered into capital lease agreements of $81,000 for the
year ended June 30, 1996.
Fiscal year ended June 30, 1995. The Company successfully defended a
patent which, under the terms of the patent purchase agreement with the
patent's inventor, entitles the Company to indemnification of a portion of the
legal fees incurred to defend the patent infringement. Accordingly, the Company
reclassified from patents to long term assets $693,000 of legal fees. These
previously capitalized patent costs will be realized as royalties become
payable to the patent's inventor. At June 30, 1995, other assets included
$548,000 of such costs.
In accordance with the terms of a note receivable from a former
officer, the Company canceled the note in exchange for the collateral which
consisted of 25,000 shares of the Company's Class B Common Stock. The balance
of the note together with interest receivable was $171,000.
Under an incentive compensation agreement with an officer, the Company
issued from treasury 40,000 shares of Class A Common Stock for which the
accrued compensation of $235,000 had been expensed at June 30, 1994.
The Company entered into capital lease agreements of $129,000 during
the year ended June 30, 1995.
Fiscal year ended June 30, 1994. The Company established deferred tax
assets during the current year in a non-cash transaction of $1,200,000.
The Company entered into capital lease agreements of $169,000 for the
year ended June 30, 1994.
DISCLOSURE OF ACCOUNTING POLICY:
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all
highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less to
be cash equivalents.
The accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements
are an integral part of these statements.

BALDWIN TECHNOLOGY COMPANY, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 -- ORGANIZATION OF BUSINESS:
Baldwin Technology Company, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("Baldwin" or the
"Company") are engaged primarily in the development, manufacture and sale of
material handling, accessory, control and pre-press equipment for the printing
industry.
NOTE 2 -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
The following are the significant accounting policies followed by the
Company:
Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Baldwin and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Translation of Foreign Currencies. All assets and liabilities of foreign
subsidiaries are translated into dollars at year-end (current) exchange rates
and components of revenue and expense are translated at average rates for the
year. The resulting translation adjustments are included in shareholders'
equity. Gains and losses on foreign currency exchange transactions are reflected
in the statement of income. Net transaction gains, credited to income for the
years ended June 30, 1996, 1995 and 1994 were $594,000, $152,000 and $48,000,
respectively.
Inventories. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is
determined on the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method for domestic inventories and
the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method for foreign inventories. If the FIFO
method had been used for all inventories, the total stated amount for
inventories would have been $778,000 and $620,000 greater as of June 30, 1996
and 1995, respectively.
Plant and Equipment. The Company depreciates its assets over their estimated
useful lives. Plant and equipment additions are depreciated using primarily the
straight-line method. Repair and maintenance expenditures are expensed as
incurred.
Patent, Trademarks and Engineering Drawings. The cost of acquired patents,
trademarks and engineering drawings are being amortized on a straight-line basis
over the estimated useful lives of the related assets.
Goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the fair
market value of net assets acquired and is being amortized over 40 years on a
straight-line basis. Goodwill is measured for possible impairment, as of each
balance sheet date, based upon undiscounted future cash flows from the related
operations. Should such undiscounted future cash flows be less than the carrying
value, a charge to operations for the shortfall would be provided. Goodwill
increased $1,111,000 in fiscal 1996 (increased $3,135,000 in fiscal 1995) due to
the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations, primarily on the portion of
goodwill related to the European operations which is predominately denominated
in Swedish Krona.
Deferred Loan Origination Costs. At June 30, 1996, these costs were
$1,794,000 less $1,160,000 of accumulated amortization ($2,029,000 less
$1,076,000 of accumulated amortization at June 30, 1995) and were included in
"Other Assets".
Net Income Per Share. Net income per share is based on the weighted average
number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period.
Common equivalent shares outstanding for the years ended June 30, 1996, 1995 and
1994 were 73,257, 125,370 and 83,770, respectively.
24
27
BALDWIN TECHNOLOGY COMPANY, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Investments. The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" for
the year ended June 30, 1995. The effect of adoption of this standard was
immaterial.
Long-lived Assets. The Company intends to adopt Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of" for the year ended June 30,
1997. The effect of adoption of this standard is not anticipated to have a
material impact on the Company's financial statements.
Stock Options. The Company intends to adopt Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" for the
year ended June 30, 1997 and will elect the disclosure method of accounting for
stock-based compensation.
NOTE 3 -- RESTRUCTURING CHARGE:
Historically, the Company has used cost containment and reduction programs
to offset unfavorable changes in business activity due to the economy. A
restructuring reserve was charged to income for the quarter ended December 31,
1995 in the amount of $3,000,000. The reserve was established in order to accrue
the costs associated with a planned workforce rationalization of the Company's
German operations as well as to accrue for dealer claims associated with changes
made to the European dealer network and distribution system. At June 30, 1996,
payments of $448,000 had been made for severance against the restructuring
reserve and the remaining reserve of $2,552,000 was classified as a liability in
"Other accrued" liabilities. At June 30, 1996, a previously recorded charge for
restructuring in the amount of $263,000, relating to an excess facility sublease
subsidy, is classified as a liability in "Other accrued" and "Other long-term"
liabilities.
NOTE 4 -- BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION:
The Company operates primarily in the printing industry. The Company,
through its subsidiaries, operates in three geographic sectors: the Americas,
Europe and Asia Pacific. For the year ended June 30, 1995, the Company adopted a
revised allocation process that provides that corporate general and
administrative costs and assets are reflected as corporate expenses and assets
unless such costs or assets are associated with a business segment. The effects
of the above revised allocation methodology was to decrease previously reported
segment operating profit and general corporate expenses by $1,337,000 for the
year ended June 30, 1994.

industrial revenue bond are collateralized by buildings and specific equipment
as outlined in the indenture relating thereto. Approximately $516,000 of the
loans included above are collateralized by assets of foreign subsidiaries of the
Company. The notes payable from October, 1997 through October, 2000 (the "Senior
Notes") and note payable December, 1998 (the "Revolver", a $20,000,000 credit
facility) are collateralized by a pledge of the capital stock of the Company's
domestic subsidiaries. The Senior Notes and the Revolver require the Company to
maintain certain financial covenants and have certain restrictions regarding the
payments of dividends, limiting them to $3,000,000 plus 50% of the Company's net
income after June 30, 1993. In addition, both the Senior Notes and the Revolver
require the Company to maintain a ratio of current assets to current liabilities
(as these terms are defined in the agreements) of not less than 1.4 to 1. At
June 30, 1996, this ratio was 1.59 to 1.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
At June 30, 1996, the Company has foreign tax credit carryforwards for tax
purposes of $2,664,000, which expire in fiscal 2001. At June 30, 1996, net
operating loss carryforwards of $42,662,000 are available to reduce future
foreign taxable income ($2,719,000 and $4,301,000 of which expire in fiscal
years 1997 and 1998, respectively and the remainder of which have indefinite
carryforward periods).
The Company has not had to provide for income taxes on $9,661,000 of
cumulative undistributed earnings of subsidiaries outside the United States
because of the Company's intention to reinvest those earnings. In the event that
earnings were remitted, the tax effect on the results of operations after
considering available tax credits would not be significant.
The total income tax expense allocated to operations exceeded the computed
"expected" tax (determined by applying the United States Federal statutory
income tax rate of 34% to income from operations before taxes) by $2,247,000,
$1,439,000 and $1,215,000 for the years ended June 30, 1996, 1995 and 1994. The
reasons for the difference are as follows:

elect the remaining Directors, so long as the number of outstanding shares of
Class B Common Stock is equal to at least 12.5% of the number of outstanding
shares of both classes of Common Stock as of the record date of the Company's
Annual Meeting. If the number of outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock is
less than 12.5% of the total number of outstanding shares of both classes of
Common Stock as of the record date of the Annual Meeting, the holders of Class A
Common Stock, voting as a separate class, continue to elect a number of
Directors equal to 25% of the total number of Directors constituting the entire
Board of Directors and the remaining directors are elected by the holders of
both classes of Common Stock, with the holders of Class A Common Stock having
one vote per share and the holders of Class B Common Stock having ten votes per
share. As of June 30, 1996, the number of outstanding shares of Class B Common
Stock constituted 10.5% (10.4% in 1995) of the total number of outstanding
shares of both classes of Common Stock.
