BALDWIN TECHNOLOGY COMPANY, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

Note 1 - General:

     Baldwin Technology Company, Inc. (Baldwin, or the Company) is
engaged primarily in the development, manufacture and sale of material
handling, accessory, control and pre-press equipment for the printing
industry.  

     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Baldwin and its subsidiaries and reflect all adjustments (consisting of
only normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary to present a fair statement of the results for the
interim periods.  Operating results for the three month period ended
September 30, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results that
may be expected for the year ending June 30, 1996.  

     All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.  Net income per share is based on the weighted average
number of common shares and common stock equivalents outstanding during
the period.  For the three month periods ended September 30, 1995 and
1994, net income was divided by the total of the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding and common stock equivalents, which
consisted of 158,326 shares for stock options (105,184 shares in 1994),
in order to calculate net income per share.  The weighted average number
of common equivalent shares outstanding for the three month periods
ended September 30, 1995 and 1994 were 17,829,023 and 17,915,744
respectively.  Common stock equivalents calculated for fully diluted
earnings per share were not significantly different from those
calculated for primary earnings per share.

Note 2 - Inventories:

     Inventories consist of the following:-

ITEM 2:  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain
significant factors which have affected the Company's financial position
and consolidated financial statements.  

Three Months Ended September 30, 1995 vs Three Months
Ended September 30, 1994
- -----------------------------------------------------

Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 1995 increased by
$5,196,000, or 10.9% to $52,835,000 from $47,639,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 1994.  Currency rate fluctuations
attributable to the Company's overseas operations accounted for an
increase of $1,979,000 in net sales for the current period.  Product
volume accounted for the remainder of the change.  In terms of local
currency, sales were up throughout the European Sector.  Sales were up
21.8% in Germany, were up 3.0% in Sweden and were up 26.4% in the United
Kingdom.  Local currency Asian Sector sales were down 8.8% in Japan,
down 32.3% in China and were down 46.9% in Hong Kong.  Sales in
Australia were up A$ 3,180,000 from A$ 60,000 in September 30, 1994.  In
the Americas Sector, net sales increased 1.9%.

Gross profit for the three month period ended September 30, 1995 was
$17,147,000 (32.5% of net sales), as compared to $16,359,000 (34.3% of
net sales) for the three month period ended September 30, 1994, an
increase of $788,000 or 4.8%.  Currency rate fluctuations increased
gross profit by $508,000 with the remainder due to volume changes,
product mix and other factors.  Gross profit was lower as a percentage
of sales when compared to the prior year due primarily to decreased
sales in Japan and sales of products that contribute lower gross profit
in the remainder of the Asia Pacific Sector.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $10,846,000 (20.5% of
net sales), for the three month period ended September 30, 1995 as
compared to $10,179,000 (21.4% of net sales) for the same period of the
prior year.  The increase of $667,000 or 6.6% in these expenses includes
currency rate fluctuations which increased these expenses by $304,000 in
the current period.  Other operating expenses decreased $152,000 over
the same period of the prior year after currency rate fluctuations of
$137,000, which increased other operating expenses, were removed.  

Interest expense for the three month period ended September 30, 1995 was
$938,000 as compared to $821,000 for the three month period ended
September 30, 1994.  Increased interest expense resulted from higher
levels of working capital related indebtedness in Europe and an increase
in long term debt incurred to purchase a previously leased manufacturing
facility in Sweden.  Currency rate fluctuations increased interest
expense by $68,000 for the current period.  Interest income was $87,000
and $113,000 for the three month periods ended September 30, 1995 and
September 30, 1994, respectively.  Other income and expense includes net
foreign currency transaction gains of $150,000 and $103,000 for the
three months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  Currency
rate fluctuations decreased other income by $15,000 for the current
period.   

The Company's effective tax rate on income before taxes was 46% for the
three month period ended September 30, 1995, as compared to 50% for the
three month period ended September 30, 1994.  The difference in
effective rates is due primarily to increased domestic income.  The
current period's effective rate reflects the impact of foreign source
income which is generally taxed at substantially higher rates than
domestic income.  

Net income for the three month period ended September 30, 1995 increased
by 18.9% to $993,000 from $835,000 for the three month period ended
September 30, 1994, or to $0.06 and $0.05 per share, respectively. 
Currency rate fluctuations increased net income by $4,000 for the
current period.  Weighted average equivalent shares outstanding during
the three month periods ended September 30, 1995 and September 30, 1994
were 17,829,023 and 17,915,744, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources at September 30, 1995
- -----------------------------------------------------

Liquidity and Working Capital 
- -----------------------------

The Company's long-term debt includes $25,000,000 of 8.17% senior notes
(the "Senior Notes") due October 29, 2000 and a three-year $20,000,000
Revolving Credit Agreement (the "Revolver") with NationsBank of North
Carolina, as Agent, which matures in November, 1996.  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 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 September 30,
1995, this ratio was 1.83 to 1.

Net cash used by investing activities increased by $4,465,000 from
$268,000 at September 30, 1994 to $4,733,000 at September 30, 1995
primarily due to the purchase of a previously leased Swedish
manufacturing facility for SEK 28,400,000 ($4,100,000).  Net cash
provided by financing activities increased  by $3,746,000 to $4,197,000
at September 30, 1995 from $451,000 at September 30, 1994 primarily due
to the difference in long term debt borrowing and repayment activity of
which SEK 18,400,000 ($2,647,000) relates to financing the above
building purchase with the remainder related to increased working
capital requirements.

The Company's working capital increased from $46,996,000 at September
30, 1994, to $52,094,000 at September 30, 1995, an increase of
$5,098,000 or 10.8%.  Currency rate fluctuations increased working
capital by $2,544,000.  The remainder of the increase was due primarily
to the effects of increases in inventories and trade receivables, the
effects of which were offset in part by increases in bank loans and
trade accounts payable.  The Company's working capital decreased by
$1,481,000 or 2.8% from $53,575,000 at June 30, 1995 to $52,094,000 at
September 30, 1995.  Currency rate fluctuations decreased working
capital by $2,085,000.  Decreases in receivables, net of inventory
increases, were more than offset by decreases in trade accounts and
other payables.

The Company maintains relationships with foreign and domestic banks
which have extended credit facilities to the Company totaling
$35,636,000, including amounts available under the Revolver.  As of
September 30, 1995, the Company had outstanding $12,140,000 under these
lines of credit, of which $2,386,000 is classified as long-term debt. 
Total debt levels as reported on the balance sheet at September 30, 1995
are $570,000 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 three months ended September 30, 1995 and September 30,
1994, including commitments for capital lease payments, were $489,000
and $426,000, respectively.

The Company believes its cash flow from operations and bank lines of
credit are sufficient to finance its working capital and other capital
requirements for the near and long-term future.

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.
