                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, and 
control equipment for the printing and print on demand industries.  

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, 1997 are not necessarily indicative 
of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 1998.  

All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consoli-
dation.  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, 1997 and 1996, net income was divided
by the total of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and
common stock equivalents, which consisted of 33,398 shares for stock options
(0 shares in 1996), 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, 1997 and 1996 were 17,158,162 and 17,359,039, 
respectively.  Common stock equivalents calculated for fully diluted earnings
per share were not significantly different from those calculated for primary
earnings per share.  The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Account-
ing Standards No. 128 "Earnings per Share" (FAS 128) and will compute and 
disclose Basic and Diluted earnings per share as required by that statement 
starting with the quarter ending December 31, 1997.  If Basic and Diluted 
earnings per share had been calculated for the current quarter as prescribed
by FAS 128 there would have been $0.00 (no) difference from earnings per 
share as reported.

Note 2 - Inventories:

     Inventories consist of the following:-  
                                                 
                                     September 30,          June 30,
                                           1997               1997   

     Raw material                     $14,768,000         $11,383,000
     In process                        11,622,000           8,833,000
     Finished goods                     7,178,000           7,617,000
                                      $33,568,000         $27,833,000

Inventories decreased by $444,000 due to translation rates in effect at 
September 30, 1997 when compared to rates at June 30, 1997.

Note 3 - Restructuring Charge and Reserves:

A restructuring reserve was charged to income during 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 reduction at 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.  
The Company also has $119,000 remaining from a fiscal 1992 restructuring 
charge, all of which relates to an excess facility sublease subsidy. 

The following schedule shows the use of restructuring reserves for payments of
severance and sublease subsidies for the three months ended September 30, 1997.

     Restructuring reserves consist of the following:-  
                                                                               
                                             September 30,       June 30,

     Severance and dealer claims             $  828,000        $1,144,000
     Excess facility sublease subsidy           119,000           160,000
                                             $  947,000        $1,304,000

     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, 1997 vs Three Months Ended September 30, 1996.

Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 1997 decreased by 
$9,494,000, or 16.5%, to $48,047,000 from $57,541,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1996. Currency rate fluctuations attributable to the Company's 
overseas operations decreased net sales by $3,752,000 for the current period.
Included in the prior year net sales amount was $6,155,000 related to the 
Company's Pre-press operations which were disposed of on June 30, 1997.  In 
terms of local currency and after removing the net sales of the Pre-press 
operations from the prior year's results, sales changes were as follows.  In 
Europe, sales were down 10.8% in Germany and decreased by 6.8% in Sweden.  
Sales increased by 9.5% in the United Kingdom and were up 55.9% in France.  
In Asia, sales increased by 17.4% in Japan.  In the Americas, net sales 
decreased by 3.8%.

Gross profit for the three month period ended September 30, 1997 was 
$16,027,000 (33.4% of net sales), as compared to $18,582,000 (32.3% of net 
sales) for the three month period ended September 30, 1996, a decrease of 
$2,555,000 or 13.7%.  Currency rate fluctuations decreased gross profit by 
$1,267,000 in the current period.  Gross profit of the Pre-press group, 
included in the prior year, was $2,064,000.  Gross profit was higher as a 
percentage of sales when compared to the prior year due primarily to a 
decrease in manufacturing costs at the Company's German operation and a 
higher percentage of sales of products that carry higher gross profit rates.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $9,855,000 (20.5% of net 
sales), for the three month period ended September 30, 1997 as compared to 
$11,884,000 (20.7% of net sales) for the same period of the prior year,  a 
decrease of $2,029,000 or 17.1%.  Currency rate fluctuations decreased 
these expenses by $612,000 in the current period.  Selling, general and 
administrative expenses of the Pre-press operations included in the prior year
were $2,086,000.  The acquisition of the Print-On-Demand Group, which occurred 
in January of 1997, added $286,000 to these expenses in the current period.  
Other operating expenses decreased by $1,111,000 over the same period of the 
prior year.  Currency rate fluctuations decreased these expenses by $352,000 
in the current period.  Other operating expenses of the Pre-press operations 
included in the prior year were $686,000.

Interest expense for the three month period ended September 30, 1997 was 
$735,000 as compared to $910,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 
1996.  Currency rate fluctuations decreased interest expense by $136,000.  
Interest expense for the prior year included $52,000 for the Pre-press 
operations.  Interest income was $207,000 and $112,000 for the three month 
periods ended September 30, 1997 and September 30, 1996, respectively. 
Interest income increased primarily due to interest earned on the proceeds from
the disposition of the Company's Pre-press operations.  Other income and expense
includes net foreign currency transaction losses of $78,000 and $92,000 for the
three months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  Currency rate 
fluctuations increased other income by $20,000 for the current period.  Other
income increased primarily due to net royalty income in the current period.  

The Company's effective tax rate on income before taxes was 42% for the three 
month period ended September 30, 1997 as compared to 46% for the three month 
period ended September 30, 1996.  Currency rate fluctuations decreased tax 
expense by $65,000 for the current period.  The current period's effective rate
reflects the impact of foreign source income which is generally taxed at 
substantially higher rates than domestic income.  The decrease in the current
period's effective tax rate is primarily due to increased income in tax 
jurisdictions for which there are available tax loss carryforwards.

Net income for the three month period ended September 30, 1997 increased by 
$645,000 or 116.0% to $1,201,000 from $556,000 for the three month period ended
September 30, 1996, or to $0.07 from $0.03 per share.  Currency rate fluc-
tuations decreased net income by $76,000 for the current period.  Losses 
associated with the Pre-press operation of $591,000 were included in net 
income for the three month period ended September 30, 1996.  Weighted average
equivalent shares outstanding during the three month periods ended September 30,
1997 and September 30, 1996 were 17,158,162 and 17,359,839, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources at September 30, 1997

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.  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 the terms of the Senior Notes 
and the Revolver to $1,000,000 plus 50% of the Company's net income after 
January 1, 1997.  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, 1997, this ratio was 
1.63 to 1.

Net cash provided (used) by investing activities was $3,419,000 for the three 
months ended September 30, 1997 versus $(582,000) for the three months ended 
September 30, 1996. 

The change was primarily due to the fact that $4,000,000 of the proceeds from 
the disposition of the Company's Pre-press operations were collected on July 1,
1997.  Net cash (used) by financing activities was $(133,000) for the period 
ended September 30, 1997 as compared to $284,000 of net cash provided by 
financing activities for the period ended September 30, 1996.  The change was
primarily due to repayment of borrowings in the current period versus net 
borrowings in the prior period.

The Company's working capital decreased from $42,701,000 at September 30, 1996,
to $30,530,000 at September 30, 1997, a decrease of $12,171,000 or 28.5%.  
Working capital of the disposed Pre-press business included in the September 
30, 1996 total of working capital amounted to $12,096,000.  Currency rate 
fluctuations further decreased working capital by $1,384,000.  Cash and 
Short-term securities increased in the current period due to the collection 
of $4,000,000 of notes receivable related to the disposition of the Company's 
Pre-press operations.  Cash and Short-term Securities were lower in the prior 
year due to the Acrotec acquisition.  Prepaid expenses and other current assets
increased primarily due to the $2,000,000 note receivable received in connec-
tion with the disposition of the Pre-press business.  Inventories and trade 
accounts receivable increased and bank loans for working capital decreased.  
These above increases in working capital were largely offset by a reclassifi-
cation of long-term debt to current in accordance with the Company's debt
amortization schedule, increases in trade accounts payable and customer 
deposits.  The Company's working capital increased by $834,000 or 2.8% from 
$29,696,000 at June 30, 1997 to $30,530,000 at September 30, 1997.  Currency
rate fluctuations decreased working capital by $752,000 in the current 
period.  The primary reasons for the increase in working capital resulted 
from the increase in inventories related to an increased order backlog and a
decrease in income taxes payable resulting from a normal tax payment in 
Japan.  The effects of the above working capital increases were largely offset 
by increases in customer deposits on orders related to the increase in 
backlog, the collection of a $4,000,000 note receivable related to the 
disposition of the Company's Pre-press operations and an increase in trade
payables related to the increased level of inventory.

The Company maintains relationships with foreign and domestic banks which have 
extended credit facilities to the Company totaling $30,675,000, including 
amounts available under the Revolver.  As of September 30, 1997, the Company 
had outstanding $7,995,000 under these lines of credit.  Total debt levels 
as reported on the balance sheet at September 30, 1997 are $177,000 lower 
than they would have been if June 30, 1997 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, 1997 and September 30, 1996, including
commitments for capital lease payments, were $545,000 and $602,000, 
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.
