BALDWIN TECHNOLOGY COMPANY, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
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 industry.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Baldwin and its subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information
and in compliance with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not
include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements. These financial
statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments)
which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement
of the results for the interim periods. These financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes
included in the Company's latest annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
June 30, 2000. Operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2000
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending June 30, 2001. All significant intercompany transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.
NOTE 2 - EARNINGS PER SHARE:
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income for the
period by weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.
Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution securities that could
share in the earnings of an entity, and is computed by dividing net income for
the period by the weighted average of common shares outstanding plus potentially
dilutive common stock equivalents. The weighted average shares outstanding used
to compute diluted income per share include zero shares for each of the three
months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, which represent outstanding options to
purchase the Company's common stock. Options to purchase the Company's common
stock in the amount of 1,920,000 and 2,182,000 were not included in the
computation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended September
30, 2000 and 1999 respectively, because the exercise prices were greater than
the average market price of the common stock for the respective periods.
NOTE 3 - INVENTORIES:
Inventories consist of the following:-

<PAGE> 10
NOTE 4 - NEWLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS:
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("FAS
133"). The effective date of FAS 133 was July 1, 2000 for the Company. FAS 133
requires that all derivative instruments be recorded on the balance sheet at
their fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded each
period in current earnings or comprehensive income, depending on whether a
derivative is designated as part of a hedge transaction and, if it is, the type
of hedge transaction. Management of the Company anticipates that, due to its
limited use of derivative instruments, the adoption of FAS 133 will not have a
significant effect on the Company's results of operations in future periods. The
Company did however, record a cumulative effect of a change in accounting
principle as a result of the Company's adoption of FAS 133. At July 1, 2000,
due to the adoption of FAS 133, the Company recognized a $426,000 after-tax gain
on a derivative financial instrument that did not qualify as a hedge pursuant to
FAS 133. An additional pre-tax gain of $345,000 was recognized during the
quarter related to this instrument which was settled after the end of the
quarter for no additional material gain or loss. The balance of the Company's
derivative instruments are not material.
NOTE 5 -- PROVISION FOR LOSS ON THE DISPOSITION OF PRE-PRESS OPERATIONS:
In June 1997, the Company sold all of the outstanding shares of its
former pre-press operations to Kaber Imaging, Inc. (the "Purchaser"). The
Company recorded a loss on this disposition in the amount of $42,407,000 in the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1997. As a result of the original purchase of the
former pre-press operations by the Company in July 1990, the Company guaranteed
certain unfunded pension liabilities. In conjunction with the sale of the
pre-press operation in June 1997, the Purchaser contractually agreed to have the
Company removed from these guarantee obligations, and further, to reimburse the
Company for any claims brought against the Company regarding these pension
liabilities. As a result of the Purchaser's and the former pre-press operations'
bankruptcy filings in February 1999, the Company became required to fulfill its
guarantee obligation with respect to these pension liabilities. Accordingly, the
Company recorded a charge to earnings for the year ended June 30, 1999 in the
amount of $2,400,000, the estimated amount of these obligations. As of September
30, 2000, the Company has paid $1,567,000, and the remaining balance of
$833,000, is included as a current liability in "Other accounts payable and
accrued liabilities".

<PAGE> 11
NOTE 6 -- RESTRUCTURING CHARGE AND RELATED RESERVE:
For the year ended June 30, 2000, the Company recorded a pre-tax
restructuring charge in the amount of $5,664,000. This charge was recorded in
order to account for the estimated costs associated with the planned
consolidation of production into certain facilities, resulting in a reduction in
total employment, primarily in the United States. This charge included
approximately $3,399,000 in employee severance and benefit costs, $1,169,000 in
facility lease termination costs, $509,000 related to asset impairment of
property, equipment and certain intangibles and $587,000 in incremental costs
associated with this restructuring. The asset impairment amount of $509,000 has
directly reduced the carrying amount of the affected assets by reducing the net
book value of property, plant and equipment by $331,000 and patents and goodwill
by $178,000. The consolidation of production includes the closing of two
domestic facilities and the phasing down of another domestic facility, with the
related production being shifted to other existing domestic and overseas
facilities. The net workforce reductions consist of approximately 100 employees
in various employee groups throughout the world, including production, sales,
engineering and administration. These restructuring activities are expected to
be substantially complete by June 30, 2001. During the quarter ended September
30, 2000, the Company charged $207,000 against this reserve. As of September 30,
2000, $3,546,000 is included in "Other accounts payable and accrued liabilities"
and $765,000 is included in "Other long-term liabilities".
NOTE 7 - BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION:
The Company's two reportable segments are the Graphic Products and
Controls Group ("GPC"), and the Material Handling Group ("MHG"). The GPC segment
includes products such as cleaning systems, water systems and other equipment
designed to enhance the quality of the printed material and improve the
productivity of the printing process. The MHG segment includes products which
handle the materials supplied to the press and automate the handling of the
printed material. The all other category is comprised of the Print On-Demand
Group, which operates in the short-run digital printing market, and other
activities.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described
in the summary of significant accounting policies in the Annual Report on From
10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000. A segment's financial performance
is primarily evaluated based on the operating profit of the segment, which
include inter-segment sales.
The tables below present information about reportable segments for the
three months ended September 30, 2000, and 1999 (in thousands):

NOTE 8 - SALE OF BUSINESS:
On September 27, 2000, the Company sold substantially all the assets of
its Baldwin Stobb Division ("BSD") to Systems Technology, Inc., a new company
formed by the management of BSD. The consideration paid for the transaction,
subject to certain post-closing adjustments, is the sum of (i) $6,750,000; minus
(ii) all payments received (net of disbursements paid) on behalf of BSD for the
period July 1, 2000 through September 27, 2000 amounting to $2,155,000; plus
(iii) $175,000 in consideration for income tax obligations to be received at a
later date. The total consideration received by the Company included 307,000
shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock valued at the average fair market
price of the Company's Class A Common Stock for the ten days immediately prior
to closing ($1.9875 per share). The Company recorded a pre-tax loss of $650,000,
including associated costs, as a result of this transaction.
NOTE 9 - REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY:
On October 31, 2000 the Company reached an agreement on a $35,000,000
revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility") with Fleet National Bank and
First Union National Bank. Under this agreement the Company has $20,000,000
available with an additional $15,000,000 to become available upon obtaining
certain guarantees of some of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries which are
required to complete the entire agreement. The Credit Facility is subject to
certain financial covenants and is collateralized by a substantial portion of
the Company's assets. The Credit Facility allows the Company to borrow, subject
to certain limitations, at variable interest rates ranging from 1.50% to 2.50%
over LIBOR for a period of 3 years. The Company utilized $11,750,000 of the
initial borrowings under the Credit Facility to retire the previously existing
debt with Bank of America.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain
factors which have affected the Company's financial position and consolidated
financial statements. On September 27, 2000, the Company sold a business in its
material handling group. As a result, the revenues and corresponding expenses
attributable to the divested operation are included in these consolidated
financial statements only for the period the operation is owned by the Company.
The effects of this transaction on financial statement amounts are discussed

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 VS THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999
CONSOLIDATED RESULTS
Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2000
decreased by $536,000, or 1.2%, to $44,960,000 from $45,496,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 1999. Currency rate fluctuations attributable to the
Company's overseas operations decreased net sales by $1,313,000 in the current
period. Otherwise, sales would have increased by $777,000. This increase is
primarily the result of the increased sales levels of cleaning and water product
systems in Sweden and increased material handling sales from the operation sold
during the current period. In terms of local currency, and as compared to the
same period in the prior year, net sales decreased by 37.6% in Sweden and by
6.8% in Japan. Sales increased by 51.6% in the United Kingdom, by 13.9% in
Germany and by 9.1% in the United States.
Gross profit for the three month period ended September 30,
2000 was $14,153,000 (31.5% of net sales), as compared to $13,535,000 (29.7% of
net sales) for the three month period ended September 30, 1999, an increase of
$618,000 or 4.6%. Currency rate fluctuations decreased gross profit by $463,000
in the current period. Otherwise gross profit would have increased by $1,081,000
in the current period. Gross profit was higher due primarily to increased
efficiencies as a result of the Company's restructuring efforts, primarily
within the United States material handling group.

Selling, general and administrative expenses amounted to $9,540,000
(21.2% of net sales), for the three month period ended September 30, 2000 as
compared to $9,291,000 (20.4% of net sales) for the same period in the prior
year, an increase of $249,000 or 2.7%. Currency rate fluctuations decreased
these expenses by $272,000 in the current period. Otherwise, selling, general
and administrative expenses would have increased by $521,000. Selling expenses
increased by $99,000 which primarily related to increased compensation and
travel costs, while general and administrative expenses increased by $422,000
due primarily to increased compensation costs.
Engineering and research and development expenses increased by
$183,000 over the same period in the prior year. Currency rate fluctuations
decreased these expenses by $142,000 in the current period. Otherwise, these
expenses would have increased by $325,000. The increase in these expenses
relates primarily to increased product development, compensation, and consulting
costs. As a percentage of net sales, engineering and research and development
expenses increased by 0.5% to 9.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2000
compared to 8.8% for the same period in the prior year.
Interest expense for the three month period ended September
30, 2000 was $424,000 as compared to $525,000 for the three month period ended
September 30, 1999. Currency rate fluctuations decreased interest expense by
$48,000 in the current period. The remainder of the decrease was primarily due
to reductions in the amount of long-term, fixed-rate indebtedness outstanding
during the current period which was offset slightly by rising interest rates on
variable-rate debt. Interest income amounted to $67,000 and $87,000 for the
three month periods ended September 30, 2000 and September 30, 1999,
respectively. This reduction in interest income is primarily due to decreased
cash balances during the period. Currency rate fluctuations decreased interest
income by $4,000 in the current period.
Other expense, net includes net foreign currency transaction
gains and (losses) of $314,000 and $(353,000) for the three months ended
September 30, 2000 and 1999 respectively. The current period's gain includes a
$345,000 gain on a derivative financial instrument that did not qualify as a
hedge pursuant to FAS 133 and a $650,000 pre-tax loss on the sale of the
Baldwin Stobb division.
The Company's effective tax rate on income before taxes was
35.0% for the three month period ended September 30, 2000 as compared to 35.9%
for the three month period ended September 30, 1999. Currency rate fluctuations
decreased the provision for income taxes by $208,000 in the current period. The
decrease in the current period's effective tax rate is primarily due to
increased income in tax jurisdictions for which there are tax loss carryforwards
available.
The Company recorded a cumulative effect of a change in
accounting principle as a result of the Company's adoption of Financial
Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("FAS 133"). At July 1, 2000 due to the
adoption of FAS 133, the Company recognized a $426,000 after-tax gain on a
derivative financial instrument that did not qualify as a hedge pursuant to FAS
133.
The Company's net income amounted to $1,063,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 2000, as compared to $314,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 1999. This increase of $749,000 is primarily due to the
previously noted derivative financial instrument, increased royalty income and
improved gross profit margins, offset by the loss on the sale of the Baldwin
Stobb division. Currency rate fluctuations decreased net income by $387,000 in
the current period. Net income per share amounted to $0.07 basic and diluted for
the three months ended September 30, 2000, as compared to $0.02 basic and
diluted for the three months ended September 30, 1999. The cumulative effect of
the change in accounting principle increased income per share by $0.03 basic and
diluted in the current period.

SEGMENT RESULTS
GRAPHIC PRODUCTS AND CONTROLS GROUP
Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2000 decreased by
$1,469,000, or 4.5%, to $31,326,000 from $32,795,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1999. Currency rate fluctuations attributable to the Company's
overseas operations decreased net sales for the current period by $1,631,000,
otherwise, net sales would have increased by $162,000 in the current period.
This increase is primarily the result of increased sales levels of cleaning and
spray dampening systems.
Operating income amounted to $970,000 (3.1% of net sales) for the three
months ended September 30, 2000, as compared to $1,456,000 (4.4% of net sales)
for the same period in the prior year, a decrease of $486,000. Currency rate
fluctuations decreased the current year's operating income by $66,000, otherwise
operating income would have decreased by $420,000. This decrease is primarily
the result of the overall decrease in sales levels discussed above, coupled with
increased research and development expenses in the current period.
MATERIAL HANDLING GROUP
Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2000 increased by
$111,000, or 0.80%, to $13,900,000 from $13,789,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1999. Currency rate fluctuations attributable to the Company's
overseas operations decreased net sales for the current period by $313,000,
otherwise net sales would have increased by $424,000. This increase is primarily
the result of increased sales levels of post-press material handling equipment,
from 3,516,000 in the prior year to $5,107,000 in the current year period.
Operating income amounted to $1,468,000 (10.6% of net sales) for the
three months ended September 30, 2000, as compared to $69,000 (0.5% of net
sales) for the same period in the prior year, an increase of $1,399,000.
Currency rate fluctuations increased the current year's operating profit by
$16,000. The remaining increase is primarily the result of increased sales
volumes, principally from the Baldwin Stobb division sold during the current
period, and the increased efficiencies as a result of the Company's
restructuring efforts primarily in the United States.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES AT SEPTEMBER 30, 2000
LIQUIDITY AND WORKING CAPITAL
As of September 30, 2000, the Company maintained a $25,000,000
Revolving Credit Agreement (the "Revolver") with Bank of America, N.A., as agent
which matures on October 31, 2001. The Company had fully paid its 8.17% senior
notes (the "Senior Notes").
13
<PAGE> 16
On October 31, the Company entered into a new agreement with Fleet
National Bank and First Union National Bank for a $35,000,000 Revolving Credit
Facility (the "Credit Facility"). The Credit Facility replaced the Revolver, and
requires the Company to maintain certain financial covenants, and to obtain
guarantees from all of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries. Until all
guarantees have been obtained, the availability of the Credit Facility is
limited to $20,000,000. This is expected to occur by December 31, 2000.
The Company's working capital increased by $2,366,000 or 8.4% from
$28,221,000 at June 30, 2000 to $30,587,000 at September 30, 2000. Currency rate
fluctuations decreased working capital by $1,135,000 in the current period. The
primary reasons for the increase in working capital were increases in cash and
prepaid expenses and reductions in trade accounts payable and the current
portion of long-term debt. These increases in working capital were partially
offset by reductions in inventories and trade and notes receivable and increases
in loans payable and interest payable.
Net cash provided by investing activities amounted to $4,178,000 for
the three months ended September 30, 2000 as compared to net cash used by
investing activities of $572,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1999.
This increase is primarily the result of the sale of the business in the current
period.
Net cash used by financing activities amounted to $1,600,000 for the
three months ended September 30, 2000 as compared to net cash provided by
financing activities of $1,103,000 for the three months ended September 30,
1999. This decrease in cash provided by financing activities was primarily due
to the payoff of the Senior Notes during the current period.
The Company maintains relationships with foreign and domestic banks
which have extended credit facilities to the Company. As of September 30, 2000,
these credit facilities total $44,660,000 including amounts available under the
Revolver. The Company had outstanding $20,050,000 under these lines of credit,
of which $13,956,000 is classified as long-term debt. Total debt levels as
reported on the balance sheet at September 30, 2000 are $635,000 lower than they
would have been if June 30, 2000 exchange rates had been used.
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.
EURO CONVERSION
Effective January 1, 1999, the "Euro" has become the new common
currency for 11 countries of the European Community ("EC") (including Germany
and France where the Company has operations). Other member states (including the
United Kingdom and Sweden where the Company also has operations) may join in
future years. Beginning January 1, 1999, transactions in the Euro became
possible, with the national currencies continuing to circulate until January 1,
2002, when the Euro will become the functional currency for these 11 countries.
During the transition period from January 1, 1999 to January 1, 2002, payments
can be made using either the Euro or the national currencies at fixed exchange
rates.
14
<PAGE> 17
Beginning January 1, 1999, the Company began conducting business with
customers in both the Euro and the respective national currency. Systems and
processes that are initially impacted by this dual currency requirement are
customer billing and receivables, payroll and cash management activities,
including cash collections and disbursements. To accomplish compliance, the
Company is making the necessary systems and process changes and is also working
with its financial institutions on various cash management issues. The Company's
German operations have begun recording all business transactions in the Euro
effective July 1, 2000. In France, the remaining affected country in which the
Company operates, the Company currently has new systems and processes in place
to accommodate the recording of all business transactions in the Euro, however,
the actual recording will not begin until July 1, 2001.
Management currently believes that the costs associated with
implementing and completing the Euro conversion, as well as business and market
implications, if any, associated with the Euro conversion, will not be material
to its results of operations or financial condition in any year or in the
aggregate. The competitive impact of increased cross-border price transparency,
however, is uncertain, both with respect to products sold by the Company, as
well as products and services purchased by the Company.
The Company's ongoing efforts with regard to the Euro conversion, and
those of its significant customers and suppliers, including financial
institutions may, at some time in the future, reveal as yet unidentified or not
fully understood issues that may not be addressable in a timely fashion, or that
may cause unexpected competitive or market effects, all contrary to the
foregoing statements. This issue, if not resolved favorably, could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations or financial
condition in a future period.
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.
