Supplemental disclosures of cash flow information:

	For the six months
	ended December 31,
	  1995  	  1994  
                                                      (in thousands)
Cash paid during the period for:
    Interest	 $ 1,942	 $ 1,759
    Income taxes	 $ 2,074 	 $ 3,401 

Supplemental schedule of non-cash investing and financing activities:

For the six months ended December 31, 1995:

The Company acquired the capital stock of Acrotec AB and 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, recorded as a current 
liability in "Other accounts payable and accrued liabilities".  See Note 3 
in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company entered into capital lease agreements of $49,315 for the six 
months ended December 31, 1995.

For the six months ended December 31, 1994:

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 December 31, 1994, other assets included $628,000 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 was $235,000.

The Company entered into capital lease agreements of $47,989 for the six 
months ended December 31, 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
	(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 and six month periods ended December 
31, 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 and six month periods ended December 31, 1995 
and 1994, net income was divided by the total of the weighted average 
number of common shares outstanding and common stock equivalents, in order 
to calculate net income per share.  Common stock equivalents for the three 
month periods ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 consisted of 116,228 shares
and 140,252 shares, respectively, for stock options.  The weighted average 
number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding for the three 
month periods ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 were 18,132,011 and 
18,001,699, respectively.  Common stock equivalents for the six month 
periods ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 consisted of 137,277 shares 
and 122,718 shares, respectively, for stock options.  For the six month 
periods ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 the weighted average number of 
common and common equivalent shares were 17,980,517 and 17,958,722,
respectively.  Common stock equivalents calculated for fully diluted 
earnings per share were not materially different from those calculated 
for primary.

Note 2 - Inventories:

	Inventories consist of the following:-  
		
	                            December 31,          June 30,
	                               1995      	    1995   

	Raw material	$22,489,000	$17,897,000	
	In process	14,046,000	10,602,000		
	Finished goods	  9,989,000	 11,325,000

		$46,524,000	$39,824,000


	Inventories decreased $559,000 due to translation effects of exchange 
from June 30, 1995 to December 31, 1995.  Inventories acquired in the 
October 2, 1995 purchase of Acrotec AB and Subsidiaries amounted to 
$3,889,000 and at December 31, 1995 these inventories were $4,149,000.

Note 3 - Restructuring:

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 December 31, 1995, no charges had been made 
against the restructuring reserve and the $3,000,000 reserve was included 
in "Other accounts payable and accrued liabilities".


Note 4 - Debt Refinancing:

As of December 31, 1995, the Company refinanced it's $20,000,000 revolving
credit agreement (the "Revolver") with NationsBank of North Carolina, 
as Agent.  In connection with the refinancing, certain of the related 
financial covenants were amended including a covenant regarding the 
payment of dividends.  Future payments of dividends are limited to 
$5,500,000 plus 50% of the Company's net income after June 30, 1995.


Note 5 - Common Stock:

	On November 21, 1995, five (5) eligible non-employee Directors of 
the Company were automatically granted non-qualified options for a 
total of 4,490 shares of Class A Common Stock and 510 shares of Class 
B Common Stock under the Company's 1990 Directors' Stock Option Plan 
at $5.50 and $6.875, respectively, the fair market values on the date 
of grant.  Restrictions, as described in the Company's 1991 Proxy 
Statement, are similar to the 1986 Stock Option Plan, as amended and 
restated (the "1986 Plan"), with the exception of the dates of exercise, 
vesting and termination.

	On October 30, 1995 the Board of Directors granted non-qualified options 
to purchase 41,000 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock to certain 
executives under the Company's 1986 Plan.  The options were granted at the 
fair market value on the date of grant ($5.63) and are otherwise identical 
with regard to restrictions on options previously granted.

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.  

	Six Months Ended December 31, 1995 vs. Six Months
	Ended December 31, 1994.

	Net sales for the six months ended December 31, 1995 increased by
$18,299,000 (18.2%) to $118,651,000 from $100,352,000 for the six months 
ended December 31, 1994.  Currency rate fluctuations attributable to the 
Company's overseas operations increased net sales by $2,406,000 for the 
current period and acquisitions added $6,574,000 to sales.  Product 
volume increases were primarily responsible for the remainder of the change.
  In terms of local currency, sales increased throughout the European Sector.
 Sales were up 12.9% in Germany, 10.8% in the United Kingdom and 2.8% in
Sweden.  Local currency Asian Sector sales declined 10.5% in Japan and in-
creased in Australia by A$3,174,000 from A$516,000.  In the Americas Sector,
net sales increased by 11.6%.

	Gross profit for the six month period ended December 31, 1995 was 
$38,705,000 (32.6% of net sales) as compared to $34,223,000 (34.1% of net 
sales) for the six month period ended December 31, 1994, an increase of 
$4,482,000 or 13.1%.  Gross profit increased by $767,000 on fluctuations 
in currency rates, by $2,703,000 due to acquisitions 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 sales of products that contribute lower gross profits and increased
technical service costs in the European and Asia Pacific Sectors. 

	Selling, general and administrative expenses were $25,043,000 (21.1% 
of net sales) for the six month period ended December 31, 1995 as compared 
to $21,085,000 (21.0% of net sales) for the same period of the prior year, 
an increase of $3,958,000 or 18.8% in these expenses of which, $541,000 
was due to currency rate fluctuations and $1,787,000 was due to acquisitions.
  Increased expenses related to sales volume, trade shows and personnel were
 primarily responsible for selling expense increases while general and ad-
ministrative increased due primarily to personnel and legal expenses in the
current period.  Other operating expenses, before restructuring charges 
(See Note 3, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements) increased by 
$834,000 over the same period of the prior year of which $223,000 was due 
to currency rate fluctuations and $955,000 was due to acquisitions with 
the remaining decrease primarily related to decreased engineering and 
contract related research costs.
	
	Interest expense for the six month period ended December 31, 1995 was 
$2,018,000 as compared to $1,692,000 for the six month period ended December
31, 1994.  Currency rate fluctuations increased interest expense by 
$130,000 and acquisitions added $186,000 for the current period.  Interest 
income was $249,000 and $322,000 for the six month periods ended December 
31, 1995 and December 31, 1994, respectively.  Currency rate fluctuations 
increased interest income by $24,000 and acquisitions increased interest in-
come by $56,000 for the current period.  Other income decreased marginally
and included foreign currency transaction (losses) gains of $(8,000) and 
$57,000 for the six month periods ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, 
respectively.  The effects of currency rate fluctuations decreased other 
income by $50,000.  Acquisitions increased other income by $27,000 with 
the remainder due to increased royalty income for the current period.

	The Company's effective tax rate was 46% on income before restructuring 
charges (See Note 3 - Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements) for 
the six month period ended December 31, 1995, as compared to 50% for the 
six month period ended December 31, 1994.  Currency rate fluctuations 
decreased the provision for income taxes by $70,000 for the current period.
  The difference in effective rates results primarily from increased domestic
income.  The current period's effective rate reflects the impact of foreign
source income which is generally taxed at significantly 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.

	Net (loss) for the six month period ended December 31, 1995 was 
$(1,344,000) versus net income of $1,897,000 for the six month period 
ended December 31, 1994, or $(0.07) and $0.11 per share, respectively.  
The net loss due to restructuring charges was $(0.17) per share.  
Currency rate fluctuations increased the net loss by $83,000 and 
acquisitions increased the net loss by $173,000 or $(0.01) per share 
for the current period.  Weighted average equivalent shares 
outstanding during the six month periods ended December 31, 1995 and 
December 31, 1994 were 17,980,517 and 17,958,722, respectively.

	Three Months Ended December 31, 1995 vs. Three Months
	Ended December 31, 1994.

	Net sales for the three months ended December 31, 1995 increased 
by $13,103,000 (24.9%) to $65,816,000 from $52,713,000 for the three 
months ended December 31, 1994.  Currency rate fluctuations attributable 
to the Company's overseas operations increased net sales by $738,000 
while acquisitions added $6,574,000 to net sales for the current period.  
Product volume increases were primarily responsible for the remainder of 
the change.  In terms of local currency, sales were up 5.3% in Germany, flat
in the United Kingdom and up 2.8% in Sweden.  Local currency Asian Sector
sales decreased 12.2% in Japan.  In the Americas Sector, net sales 
increased 20.4% for the period.

	Gross profit for the three month period ended December 31, 1995 
was $21,558,000 (32.8% of net sales) as compared to $17,864,000 (33.9% 
of net sales) for the three month period ended December 31, 1994, an 
increase of $3,694,000 or 20.7%.  Gross profit increased by $259,000 
due to currency rate fluctuations and by $2,703,000 from acquisitions 
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 sales of products that
contribute lower gross profits and increased technical service costs
in the European and Asia Pacific Sectors.

	Selling, general and administrative expenses were $14,197,000 
(21.6% of net sales) for the three month period ended December 31, 
1995 as compared to $10,906,000 (20.7% of net sales) for the same 
period of the prior year, an increase of $3,291,000 or 30.2% in these 
expenses of which currency rate fluctuations increased these expenses 
by $237,000 and $1,787,000 was due to acquisitions in the current 
period.  Increased expenses related to sales volume, trade shows and 
personnel were primarily responsible for selling expense increases 
while general and administrative increased due primarily to personnel
and legal expenses in the current period.  Other operating expenses, 
before restructuring charges (See Note 3 - Notes to Consolidated 
Financial Statements) increased by $849,000 or 19.0% over the same 
period of the prior year of which $86,000 was due to currency rate 
fluctuations and $955,000 was due to acquisitions with the remaining 
decrease primarily related to decreased engineering expenses.
	
	Interest expense for the three month period ended December 31, 
1995 was $1,080,000 as compared to $871,000 for the three month period 
ended December 31, 1994.  Currency rate fluctuations increased 
interest expense by $62,000 and acquisitions added $186,000 for the 
current period.  Interest income was $162,000 and $209,000 for the 
three month periods ended December 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994, 
respectively.  Other income decreased primarily due to foreign 
currency transaction losses of ($158,000) and ($46,000) for the three
month periods ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
Currency rate fluctuations decreased other income by $35,000 and 
acquisitions increased other income by $27,000 for the period.

	The Company's effective tax rate was 46% on income before 
restructuring charges (See Note 3 - Notes to Consolidated Financial 
Statements) for the three month period ended December 31, 1995, as 
compared to 50% for the three month period ended December 31, 1994.  
Currency rate fluctuations decreased the provision for income taxes by 
$73,000 for the current period.  The difference in effective rates 
results primarily from increased domestic income.  The current 
period's effective rate reflects the impact of foreign source income 
which is generally taxed at significantly 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.

	Net (loss) for the three month period ended December 31, 1995 was 
$(2,337,000) versus net income of $1,062,000 for the three month 
period ended December 31, 1994, or $(0.13) and $0.06 per share, 
respectively.  The net loss due to restructuring charges was $(0.17) 
per share.  Currency rate fluctuations increased the net loss by 
$87,000 and acquisitions increased the net loss by $173,000 or $(0.01) 
per share for the current period.  Weighted average equivalent shares 
outstanding during the three month periods ended December 31, 1995 and
December 31, 1994 were 18,132,011 and 18,001,699, respectively.

<PAGE>
Liquidity and Capital Resources at December 31, 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 December, 
1998 (See Note 4 - Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).  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 to $3,000,000 plus 50% of the Company's net income after June 
30, 1993 and to $5,500,000 plus 50% of the Company's net income after
June 30, 1995 for the Revolver.  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 
December 31, 1995, this ratio was 1.65 to 1. 

	Net cash used by investing activities increased by 
$10,166,000 from $433,000 at December 31, 1994 to $10,599,000 at 
December 31, 1995 primarily due to the purchase of a previously leased 
Swedish manufacturing facility for SEK 28,840,000 ($4,335,000) and the 
purchase of Acrotec AB and Subsidiaries, net of cash acquired, of 
$4,798,000.  Net cash provided by financing activities decreased by 
$834,000 to $1,619,000 at December 31, 1995 from $2,453,000 at 
December 31, 1994 primarily due to the difference in debt borrowing
and repayment activity.  The decrease of short term loans required for
working capital was partially offset by increased long-term debt 
requirements of which SEK 18,400,000 ($2,766,000) relates to financing 
the above building.

	The Company's working capital decreased from $49,877,000 at 
December 31, 1994, to $49,178,000 at December 31, 1995, a decrease of 
$699,000 or 1.4%.  Currency rate fluctuations increased working 
capital by $733,000 and acquisitions, net of cash acquired, added 
$4,912,000 to the current period's working capital.  The remainder of 
the decrease was due primarily to increases in trade payables and 
accrued compensation which more than offset inventory increases.  The 
Company's working capital decreased by $4,397,000 or 8.2% from
$53,575,000 at June 30, 1995 to $49,178,000 at December 31, 1995.
Currency rate fluctuations decreased working capital by $2,412,000 and 
acquisitions, net of cash acquired, added $4,912,000 to the current 
period's working capital.  Decreases in cash, used for the Acrotec 
acquisition and the purchase of the Swedish manufacturing facility, 
and decreases in receivables, net of inventory increases, were more 
than offset by decreases in other accounts payable and accrued 
compensation.

	The Company maintains relationships with foreign and 
domestic banks which have extended credit facilities to the Company 
totaling $41,329,000, including amounts available under the Revolver.  
As of December 31, 1995, the Company had outstanding $14,694,000 under 
these lines of credit, of which $4,141,000 is classified as long-term 
debt.  Total debt levels as reported on the balance sheet at December 
31, 1995 are $591,000 lower then they would have been if June 30, 1995 
exchange rates had been used and include $3,045,000 of debt of the 
acquired entities.

	Net capital expenditures made to meet the normal business 
needs of the Company for the six months ended December 31, 1995 and 
December 31, 1994, including commitments for capital lease payments, 
were $1,025,000 and $904,000, 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.
