PART I
 
Item 1.   Business
 
Baldwin Technology Company, Inc. (“Baldwin” or the “Company”) is a leading global supplier of process automation equipment for the printing and publishing industry. The Company offers its customers a broad range of products designed to enhance the product quality and the productivity and cost-efficiency of the print manufacturing process, while addressing safety issues and reducing the environmental impact from the printing process. Baldwin’s products include cleaning systems and related consumables, fluid management and ink control systems, web press protection systems, drying systems blending and packaging services, and related services and parts.
 
The Company sells its products both to printing press manufacturers who incorporate the Company’s products into their own printing press systems for sale to printers and publishers, as well as directly to printers and publishers to upgrade the quality and capability of their existing and new printing presses. The Company does not consider its business to be seasonal. However, customer order patterns and delivery schedules could cause revenue in select periods to fluctuate. The Company has product development and production facilities, and sales and service operations, in strategic markets worldwide.
 
Industry Overview
 
The Company defines its business as that of providing process automation equipment for the printing and publishing industry. The Company believes that, as an independent company, it produces one of the most complete lines of process automation products for the printing industry.
 
The Company’s products are used by printers engaged in all commercial and newspaper printing processes including lithography, flexography and digital printing. The largest share of its business is in offset (lithographic) printing. Offset printing is the largest segment of the domestic and international printing market and is used primarily for general commercial printing as well as 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 quality, the environment, safety, productivity and reduction of waste.
 
While offset printing represents the largest segment of the U.S. printing industry, it is also the dominant technology in the international printing market. The Company believes that the future growth of its international markets will be attributable in part to the increased use of its products in emerging markets. The Company has established operations in strategic geographic locations to take advantage of growth opportunities in those markets. Baldwin’s worldwide operations enable it to closely monitor market and new product developments in different printing markets and to introduce new products, or adapt existing ones, to meet the printing equipment requirements of specific local markets throughout the world.
 
Principal Products
 
The Company produces and sells many different products and systems to printers and printing press manufacturers. Thus, its product development efforts are focused on the needs of printers and the printing press manufacturers. Typically, it takes a new product several years after its introduction to make a significant contribution to the Company’s net sales. 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 printing industry increases and printers begin to specify certain of the Company’s products as part of the process automation equipment package selected when ordering new printing presses. Historically, the Company’s products have had a long life cycle as the Company continually upgrades and refines its product lines to meet customer needs and changes in printing press technology. Baldwin’s principal products are described below:
 
Cleaning Systems.  The Company’s Cleaning Systems and related consumable products clean the rollers, cylinders and paper of a printing press and include the Press Washer, Automatic Blanket Cleaner, Newspaper Blanket Cleaner, Chill Roll Cleaner, Digital Plate Cleaner, Guide Roll Cleaner and Web Paper Cleaner, all of which 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 the fiscal years ended June 30, 2009, 2008 and 2007, net sales of Cleaning Systems represented approximately 49.6%, 50.8% and 54.5% of the Company’s net sales, respectively.

Fluid Management Systems.  The Company’s Fluid Management Systems measure and control the supply, temperature, cleanliness, chemical balance and certain other characteristics of the fluids used in the 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, 2009, 2008 and 2007, net sales of Fluid Management Systems represented approximately 19.0%, 18.9% and 19.2% of the Company’s net sales, respectively.
 
Other Process Automation Products, Parts, Services and Miscellaneous Products.  The Company’s Web Press Protection Systems (web severers and web catchers), designed in response to the increasing number of web leads used in printing today’s colorful newspapers as well as to the growing demand for high speed commercial web presses, provide an auto-arming electronic package offering high quality press protection in the event of a web break. The Company’s Ink Control Systems 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 ink and paper waste. Other products include Ultraviolet and Infrared Dryers, Gluing Systems and service and parts. In addition, the Company also provides customized dry ingredient blending and packaging services to the food industry and offers a variety of anti-offset spray powders to the graphic arts industry. In the fiscal years ended June 30, 2009, 2008 and 2007, net sales of Other Products represented approximately, 31.4%, 30.2% and 26.3% of the Company’s net sales, respectively.
 
Worldwide Operations
 
The Company believes that it is one of the few providers of process automation products for the printing and publishing industry that has product development, manufacturing and marketing capabilities in the Americas, Europe, Asia and Australia. The Company, as an international business, is subject to various changing competitive, economic, political, legal and social conditions. The Company currently has subsidiaries in 11 countries, and the results of operations may be adversely or positively affected by currency fluctuations. The results of the operations and financial positions of the Company’s subsidiaries outside of the United States are reported in the relevant foreign currencies and then translated into U.S. dollars at the applicable exchange rates for inclusion in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. The exchange rates between the currencies and the U.S. dollar may fluctuate substantially. Because the Company generates a significant percentage of its revenues and operating expenses in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar against other currencies may have a material effect on the Company’s operating income. The Company’s results and financial condition are particularly affected by changes in the value of the U.S. dollar in relation to the euro, Japanese yen and Swedish krona. Since the Company’s foreign subsidiaries primarily manufacture, incur expenses and earn revenue in the local countries in which they operate, the impact of cross currency fluctuations is somewhat mitigated.
 
The following table sets forth the percentages of the Company’s net sales attributable to its geographic regions for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2009, 2008 and 2007:
 
                         
    Years Ended June 30,

Total
    100 %     100 %     100 %
                         
 
In the Americas, the Company operates in North, Central and South America through its U.S. subsidiaries and dealers throughout Central and South America. In Europe, the Company operates through its subsidiaries in Germany, Sweden, France, England and the Netherlands. In Asia, the Company operates through its subsidiaries in India, Japan, China and Singapore. The Company also has operations in Australia. All of the Company’s subsidiaries are wholly owned except for two subsidiaries, one in which the Company holds a 90% interest, and another in which the Company holds an 80% interest.

Acquisition Strategy
 
As part of its growth strategy, the Company investigates potential strategic acquisitions of companies and product lines in related business areas. This strategy involves: (i) acquiring entities that will strengthen the Company’s position in the field of process automation equipment and related consumables for the printing and publishing industry and whose products can be sold through the Company’s existing distribution network; (ii) acquiring entities allowing entry to new end-user market segments and extending existing markets; and (iii) acquiring companies which contribute new products to the Company and which can benefit from the Company’s manufacturing and marketing expertise and financial support. Subsequent to an acquisition, the Company’s intention would be to integrate the processes and controls of the acquired company with those of the Company with a view towards enhancing sales, productivity and operating results.
 
Marketing, Sales and Support
 
Marketing and Sales.  While the Company markets its products in most countries throughout the world, the product mix and distribution channels vary from country to country. The Company has approximately 80 employees devoted to marketing and sales activities in its three principal markets and more than 200 dealers, distributors and representatives worldwide. The Company markets its products throughout the world through these direct sales representatives, distributors and dealer networks to printing press manufacturers (“OEMs”), newspaper publishers, and commercial printers. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, approximately 42% of the Company’s net sales were to OEMs and approximately 58% were directly to printers.
 
Support.  The Company is committed to after-sales service and support of its products throughout the world. Baldwin employs approximately 96 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 represents unfilled product orders which Baldwin has received from its customers under valid contracts or purchase orders. The Company’s backlog was $38,693,000 as of June 30, 2009, $48,420,000 as of June 30, 2008 and $52,651,000 as of June 30, 2007.
 
Customers.  For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, one customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s net sales and trade accounts receivable. Koenig and Bauer Aktiengesellschaft (“KBA”) accounted for approximately 13% and 12% of the Company’s net sales and trade accounts receivable, respectively. The ten largest customers of Baldwin (including KBA) accounted for approximately, 48%, 46% and 49%, respectively, of the Company’s net sales for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2009, 2008 and 2007. Sales of Baldwin’s products are not considered seasonal.
 
Engineering and Development
 
The Company believes its engineering and development, including research, efforts have been an important factor in establishing and maintaining its leadership position in the field of process automation equipment for the printing and publishing industry. Baldwin has devoted substantial efforts to adapt its products to almost all models and sizes of printing presses in use worldwide.
 
The Company’s product development takes place at its centers of competence for commercial printing located in Germany and for newspaper printing located in Sweden. The Company believes that this approach to engineering and development has helped the Company to target the needs of its customers quicker and more precisely and coordinate the Company’s product development activities. The Company’s engineering and development organization focuses attention on opportunities within the respective markets, while avoiding duplicative efforts within the Company.
 
Baldwin employs approximately 101 persons whose primary function is new product development, application engineering or modification of existing products. The Company’s total expenditures for engineering and development for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2009, 2008 and 2007 were approximately 8.4%, 7.9% and 8.4% of the Company’s net sales in each such fiscal year, respectively.

Patents
 
The Company owns a number of patents and patent applications relating to a substantial number of Baldwin’s products, and patented products represent a significant portion of the Company’s net sales for all periods presented. The Company’s patents expire at different times during the next twenty years. The expiration of patents in the near future is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s net 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 operations, primarily subassembly and quality control, through a number of operating subsidiaries. In North America, the Company has facilities in Kansas and Illinois. In Europe, the Company has facilities in Germany and Sweden. In Asia, Baldwin has facilities in India, Japan and China.
 
In general, materials required in the Company’s business 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. In addition, the Company uses various subcontractors to provide required services, but is not dependent on any individual subcontractor.
 
The nature of the Company’s operations is such that there is little, if any, negative effect upon the environment, and the Company has not experienced any substantive problems in complying with environmental protection laws and regulations.
 
Competition
 
Within the diverse market for process automation equipment for the printing and publishing industry, the Company produces and markets what it believes to be the most complete line of process automation equipment. Numerous companies, including vertically integrated printing press manufacturers, manufacture and sell products which compete with one or more of the Company’s products. The printing press manufacturers generally have larger staffs and greater financial resources than the Company.
 
The Company competes by offering customers a broad, technologically advanced product line, combined with a well-known reputation for the reliability of its products and its commitment to service and after-sale support. The Company’s ability to compete effectively in the future will depend upon the continued reliability of its products, after-sale support, its ability to keep its market position with new proprietary technology and its ability to develop innovative new products which meet the demands of the printing and publishing industry.
 
Employees
 
At June 30, 2009, the Company employed 540 persons (plus 34 temporary and part-time employees) of which 184 are production employees, 80 are marketing, sales and customer service employees, 197 are development, engineering and technical service employees and 79 are management and administrative employees. In Europe, some employees are represented by various unions under contracts with indefinite terms: in Sweden, approximately 56 of the Company’s 97 employees are represented by Ledarna (SALF), Metall, or Svenska Industritjanstemanna Forbundet unions; in Germany, approximately 80 of the Company’s 190 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 1A.   Risk Factors
 
Set forth below and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and in other documents that the Company files with the SEC are risks that should be considered in evaluating the Company’s stock, as well as risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual future results of the Company to differ from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements contained in this Report and in other public statements the Company makes. Additionally, because of the following risks and uncertainties, as well as other variables affecting the Company’s operating results, the Company’s past financial performance should not be considered an indicator of future performance.

Company Risks
 
Intellectual property and proprietary technology are important to the continued success of the Company’s business.  Failure to protect or defend this proprietary technology may impair the Company’s competitive position. The Company’s success and ability to compete depend to a certain extent on the Company’s innovative proprietary technology since that is one of the methods by which the Company persuades customers to buy its products, both present and future. The Company currently relies on copyright and trademark laws, trade secrets, confidentiality procedures, contractual provisions and patents to protect its innovative proprietary technologies. The Company may have to engage in litigation to protect patents and other intellectual property rights, or to determine the validity or scope of the proprietary rights claimed by others. This kind of litigation can be time-consuming and expensive, regardless of whether the Company wins or loses. Because it is important to the Company’s success that the Company is able to prevent competitors from copying the Company’s innovations, the Company will usually seek patent and trade secret protection for the Company’s technologies. The process of seeking patent protection can be long and expensive and the Company cannot be certain that any currently pending or future applications will actually result in issued patents, or that, even if patents are issued, they will be of sufficient strength and scope to provide it with meaningful protection or commercial advantage. Further, others may develop technologies that are similar or superior to the Company’s technology or design around the Company’s patents. The Company also relies on trade secret protection for its technology, in part through confidentiality agreements with the Company’s employees, consultants and third parties. These agreements may be breached, and if they are, depending upon the circumstance, the Company may not have adequate remedies. In any case, others may come to know about the Company’s trade secrets in various ways. In addition, the laws of some countries in which the Company manufactures or sells products may not protect the Company’s intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States.
 
Despite the Company’s efforts, intellectual property rights, particularly existing or future patents, may be invalidated, circumvented, challenged, rendered unenforceable or infringed or required to be licensed to others. Furthermore, others may develop technologies that are similar or superior to the Company’s, duplicate or reverse engineer the Company’s technology or design around patents owned or licensed by the Company. If the Company fails to protect its technology so that others may not use or copy it, the Company would be less able to differentiate its products and revenues could decline.
 
The Company’s operating results are subject to fluctuations from period-to-period, which could cause it to miss expectations about these results and, consequently, could adversely affect the trading price of the Company’s stock.  The results of the Company’s operations for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected in future periods. The Company’s operating results have in the past been, and will continue to be, subject to quarterly fluctuations as a result of factors such as the continuing economic downturn, increased competition in the printing equipment industry, the introduction and market acceptance of new technologies and standards, changes in general economic conditions and changes in economic conditions specific to the Company’s industry. Further, the Company’s revenues may vary significantly from quarter to quarter as a result of, among other factors, the timing of shipments by customers, changes in demand and mix of the Company’s products and consumables, and the timing of new product announcements and releases by the Company or its competitors.
 
The Company relies on subcontractors to help manufacture its products and if they are unable to adequately supply components and products, the Company may be unable to deliver products to customers on time or without defects.  The Company employs a number of unaffiliated subcontractors to manufacture components for the Company’s products. Because the Company relies on subcontractors, however, the Company cannot be sure that it will be able to maintain an adequate supply of components or products. Moreover, the Company cannot be sure that the components the Company purchases will satisfy the Company’s quality standards and be delivered on time. The Company’s business could suffer if it fails to maintain its relationships with its subcontractors or fails to develop sufficient alternative sources for its purchased components.
 
The Company’s business is subject to risks as a result of its international operations  .A significant portion of the Company’s business is conducted internationally. Accordingly, future results could be materially adversely affected by a variety of uncontrollable and changing factors including, among others, regulatory, political or economic conditions in a specific country or region, trade protection measures and other regulatory requirements,

business and government spending patterns, and natural disasters. Because the Company generates revenues and expenses in various currencies, including the U.S. dollar, euro, Swedish krona and Japanese yen, the Company’s financial results are subject to the effects of fluctuations of currency exchange rates. The Company cannot predict, however, when exchange rates or price controls or other restrictions on the conversion of foreign currencies could impact the Company’s business. Any or all of these factors could have an adverse impact on the Company’s business and results of operations.
 
The Company’s growth strategy may include alliances and/or licenses or acquisitions of technologies or businesses, which entail a number of risks.  As part of the Company’s strategy to grow the business, the Company may pursue alliances and/or licenses of technologies from third parties or acquisitions of complementary product lines or companies, and such transactions could entail a number of risks. The Company may expend significant costs in investigating and pursuing such transactions, and such transactions may not be consummated. If such transactions are consummated, the Company may not be successful in integrating the acquired technology or business into the Company’s existing business to achieve the desired synergies. Integrating acquired technologies or businesses may also require a substantial commitment of the Company’s management’s time and attention. The Company may expend significant funds to implement an alliance and/or acquire such technologies or businesses, and may incur unforeseen liabilities in connection with any alliance and/or acquisition of a technology or business. Any of the foregoing risks could result in an adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial conditions.
 
The Company’s ability to maintain its competitive position depends to a certain extent on the efforts and abilities of its senior management and the ability to attract highly skilled employees.  The Company’s senior management possesses significant managerial, technical and other expertise in the printing industry. Their expertise would be difficult to quickly replace, and if the Company loses the services of one or more of its executive officers, or if one or more of them decided to join a competitor or otherwise compete directly or indirectly with the Company, the Company’s business could be seriously harmed. In addition, the Company’s ability to develop, market and sell its products and services and to maintain its competitive position depends on its ability to attract, retain and motivate highly skilled technical, sales and marketing and other personnel. If the Company fails to recruit these personnel, its ability to develop new products and provide service could suffer.
 
Reliance on significant customers.  In fiscal 2009, the Company had one significant customer that individually accounted for 13% of net sales. The Company anticipates, but cannot assure, that this customer will continue to be significant in fiscal 2010. The loss of, or a significant decrease in sales to, this customer would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operation. In addition, the Company’s ten largest customers accounted for approximately 45% of the Company’s net sales for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009.
 
Industry Risks
 
If the United States and other significant global economies slow down, the demand for the Company’s products could decrease and the Company’s revenue may be materially adversely affected.  The demand for the Company’s products is dependent upon various factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control. For example, general economic conditions may affect or delay expenditures for advertising and printing, which may in turn affect the overall capital spending by publishers and printers, particularly for capital equipment such as printing presses. If, as a result of general economic uncertainty or otherwise, companies reduce their capital spending levels, such a decrease in spending could reduce demand for the Company’s products and have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business.
 
As widely reported, financial markets throughout the world have been experiencing extreme disruption, including extreme volatility in securities prices, severely diminished liquidity and credit availability, failure and potential failures of major financial institutions and unprecedented government support of financial institutions. These developments and the related general economic downturn have and will adversely impact the Company’s business and financial condition in a number of ways, including impacts beyond those typically associated with other recent downturns in the U.S. and foreign economies. If the slowdown continues, it could likely lead to reduced capital spending by OEM and end users, which has already adversely affected and may continue to adversely affect the Company’s product sales. If the slowdown is severe enough, it could necessitate further testing for impairment

of goodwill, other intangible assets, and long-lived assets and may negatively impact the valuation allowance with respect to our deferred tax assets. In addition, cost reduction actions may be necessary which would lead to additional restructuring charges. If credit in financial markets were to tighten, the general economic downturn that could result would likely adversely affect the ability of the Company’s customers and suppliers to obtain financing for significant purchases. The tightening could result in a decrease in or cancellation of orders for the Company’s products and services, could negatively impact the Company’s ability to collect its accounts receivable on a timely basis, could result in additional reserves for uncollectible accounts receivable being required, and in the event of continued contraction in the Company’s sales, could lead to dated inventory and require additional reserves for obsolescence.
 
The Company may not be able to adequately respond to changes in technology affecting the printing industry.  The Company’s continuing product development efforts have focused on refining and improving the performance of the Company’s products as they relate to printing and the Company anticipates that it will continue to focus its efforts in this area. The printing and publishing industry has been characterized in recent years by rapid and significant technological changes and frequent new product introductions. Current competitors or new market entrants could introduce new or enhanced products with new features or with features incorporating the Company’s technologies which could render the Company’s technologies obsolete or less marketable. The Company’s future success will depend, in part, on the Company’s ability to:
 
  •  use leading technologies effectively;
 
  •  continue to develop the Company’s technical expertise and patented position;
 
  •  enhance the Company’s current products and develop new products that meet changing customer needs;
 
  •  time new product introductions in a way that minimizes the impact of customers delaying purchases of existing products in anticipation of new product releases;
 
  •  adjust the prices of the Company’s existing products to increase customer demand;
 
  •  successfully advertise and market the Company’s products; and
 
  •  influence and respond to emerging industry standards and other technological changes.
 
  •  adjust products and services to accommodate substitution of traditional print on paper by non-traditional digital technologies.
 
The Company may not be successful in effectively using new technologies, developing new products or enhancing its existing products and technology on a timely basis. The Company’s new technologies or enhancements may not achieve market acceptance. The Company’s pursuit of new technologies may require substantial time and expense. The Company may need to license new technologies to respond to technological change. These licenses may not be available to the Company on terms that the Company can accept. Finally, the Company may not succeed in adapting the Company’s products to new technologies as they emerge. Any of these factors, either individually or collectively, could have an adverse impact on the Company’s business and results of operation.
 
Investment Risks
 
Failure to achieve and maintain effective internal controls could adversely affect our ability to report our financial condition and results of operations accurately or on a timely basis. As a result, current and potential stockholders could lose confidence in our financial reporting, which could harm our business and the trading price of our stock.  As required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, management is required to periodically evaluate the design and effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures and assess the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting. Management has identified and reported a material weakness as of June 30, 2009. As a result of the material weakness, the Company has concluded that internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of June 30, 2009. Failure to maintain existing effective controls could have an adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results and stock price. For a more detailed discussion of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, see Item 9A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. In addition, the annual report for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2010 will require, in

addition to management’s report on internal control over financial reporting, an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting by the Company’s independent auditors. If the Company’s independent auditors are unable to assert that the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting are effective, market perception of the Company’s financial condition and the trading price of the Company’s stock may be adversely affected and customer perception of the Company’s business may suffer.
 
The Company’s stock price has been and could continue to be volatile.  The market price of the Company’s stock has been subject to significant fluctuations. The securities markets have experienced, and are likely to experience in the future, significant price and volume fluctuations that could adversely affect the market price of the Company’s stock without regard to the Company’s operating performance. In addition, the trading price of the Company’s stock could be subject to significant fluctuations in response to:
 
  •  actual or anticipated variations in the Company’s quarterly operating results;
 
  •  significant announcements by industry participants;
 
  •  changes in national or regional economic conditions;
 
  •  changes in securities analysts’ estimates for the Company, the Company’s competitors or the Company’s industry, or the Company’s failure to meet analysts’ expectations; and
 
  •  general market conditions.
 
These factors may materially and adversely affect the Company’s stock price, regardless of the Company’s operating performance.

Item 3.   Legal Proceedings
 
Baldwin is involved in various legal proceedings from time to time, including actions with respect to commercial, intellectual property and employment matters. The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses against the claims currently asserted against it and intends to defend them vigorously. However, the outcome of litigation is inherently uncertain, and the Company cannot be sure that it will prevail in any of the cases currently in litigation. The Company believes that the ultimate outcome of any such cases will not have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows; however, there can be no assurances that an adverse determination would not have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Performance Graph
 
The following Performance Graph compares the Company’s cumulative total stockholder return on its Class A Common Stock for the five fiscal years ended June 30, 2009 with the cumulative total return of the NYSE Amex Composite Index, an old peer group composed of selected companies from the Standard Industrial Classification (“SIC”) Code 3555 — Special Industry Machinery, Printing Trades Machinery and Equipment, and a new peer group composed of publicly traded companies (customers and competition) in the printing equipment business. The companies included in the old peer group are: Baldwin Technology Company, Inc., Delphax Technologies Inc., Gunther International Ltd., Presstek, Inc. and Scailex Corporation Ltd. The companies included in the new peer group are: Baldwin Technology Company, Inc., Heidelberger Druckmaschinen, Koenig & Bauer AG, Komori Corporation, Presstek, Inc. and technotrans AG (all foreign listed companies had their currencies converted to USD for the time period indicated). Management of the Company believes that the new peer group is more representative of the industry in which the Company does business and is thus a better comparison, and therefore, this new peer group will be used in future performance graphs. For the current transition year, both the old and new peer groups are included. The comparison assumes $100 was invested on June 30, 2004 in the Company’s Class A Common Stock and in each of the foregoing indices and assumes reinvestment of all dividends. Total stockholder return is calculated using the closing price of the stock on the last trade date of each fiscal year. The stock price performance shown is not intended to forecast or be indicative of the possible future performance of the Company’s Class A Common Stock.

Item 6.   Selected Financial Data
 
(amounts in thousands except per share data)
 
The Company’s statement of operations and balance sheet data has been derived from the Company’s audited, Consolidated Financial Statements (including the Consolidated Balance Sheets of the Company at June 30, 2009 and 2008 and the related Consolidated Statements of Operations of the Company for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2009, 2008 and 2007 appearing elsewhere herein). Certain transactions have affected comparability. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, as the global economic climate continued to deteriorate and the market for printing equipment faced significant challenges, the Company implemented cost reduction and restructuring programs and recorded $4,474 of charges associated with the restructuring. In addition, during the third quarter of fiscal year 2009, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $5,658 and additional inventory and accounts receivable reserves of $4,715. During fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, the Company released a portion of the valuation allowance for net deferred tax assets associated with its U.S. operations, approximately $1,640. In addition, fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 reflects a full year of ownership of the Oxy-Dry group of companies and Hildebrand Systeme GmbH. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, the Company acquired the Oxy-Dry group of companies and Hildebrand Systeme GmbH. The results of the acquired companies are included in the financial statements from the dates of acquisition. Also, during fiscal year 2007, the Company released a portion of the valuation allowance for net deferred tax assets associated with its U.S. operations, approximately $2,500. The following information should be read in conjunction with the aforementioned financial statements and with “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

Item 7.   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
(amounts in thousands except share and per share data)
 
General.  The following is management’s discussion and analysis of certain factors which have affected the Consolidated Financial Statements of Baldwin Technology Company, Inc. (“Baldwin” or the “Company”).
 
Forward-looking Statements
 
Except for the historical information contained herein, the following statements and certain other statements contained herein are based on current expectations. Similarly, the press releases issued by the Company and other public statements made by the Company from time to time may contain language that is forward-looking. These forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of forward-looking words or phrases such as “forecast,” “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “should,” “plan,” “estimate,” and “potential,” among others. Such statements are forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. The Company cautions investors that any such forward-looking statements made by the Company are not guarantees of future performance and that actual results may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Some of the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include, but are not limited to the following: (i) the ability to comply with requirements of credit agreements; the availability of funding under said agreements; the ability to maintain adequate liquidity in declining and challenging economic conditions impacting the Company as well as customers, (ii) general economic conditions, in the U.S. and other foreign locations, (iii) the ability to obtain, maintain and defend challenges against valid patent protection of certain technology, primarily as it relates to the Company’s cleaning systems, (iv) material changes in foreign currency exchange rates versus the U.S. Dollar, (v) changes in the mix of products and services comprising revenues, (vi) a decline in the rate of growth of the installed base of printing press units and the timing of new press orders, (vii) the ultimate realization of certain trade receivables and the status of ongoing business levels with the Company’s large OEM customers, and (viii) competitive market influences. Additional factors are set forth in Item 1A “Risk Factors” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, which should be read in conjunction herewith.
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
Baldwin’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires Baldwin to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Baldwin continually evaluates its estimates, including those related to product returns, bad debts, inventories, investments, asset impairments, intangible assets, income taxes, warranty obligations, pensions and other post-retirement benefits, contingencies and litigation. Baldwin bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Table of Contents

The following critical accounting policies affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
Revenue Recognition.  The Company’s products are sold with terms and conditions that vary depending on the nature of the product sold and the cultural and business environments in which the Company operates.
 
The Company recognizes revenue based on the type of product sold and the obligations under the contract. Revenue is recognized on contracts for design, manufacture and delivery of equipment without installation (equipment sales) and parts, service and consumables at the time of transfer of title or rendering of services. The Company considers revenue realized on equipment sales when it has persuasive evidence of an arrangement, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. In contracts that include additional services, including installation, start-up and/or commissioning (system sales), the Company recognizes revenue on each element of the contract as appropriate. Installation services are provided to the customer on an as-needed basis and may be contracted for separately or included in the same contract as the equipment sale. Revenue is recognized for installation services at the completion of the contractually required services.
 
Contracts for system sales may include multiple-element revenue arrangements. When the Company enters into multiple-element revenue arrangements, which may include installation services as a contractual element, along with the purchase price of the product as a contractual element, the arrangement is separated into its stand-alone elements for revenue recognition purposes. When the delivered item has value to the customer on a stand alone basis, there is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered item and the arrangement does not include a general right of return, revenue is recognized on each element as separate units of accounting. If these criteria are not met, the arrangement is accounted for as one unit of accounting which would result in revenue being deferred until the last undelivered contractual element is fulfilled.
 
Standard payment terms may include a deposit to be received with the customer order, progress payments until equipment is shipped and a portion of the balance due within a set number of days following shipment. In those cases when the Company renders invoices prior to performance of the service, the Company records deferred revenue until completion of the services, whereupon revenue is fully recognized.
 
Freight terms are generally FOB shipping dock with risk of loss passing to the purchaser at the time of shipment. If a loss should occur in transit, the Company is not responsible for and does not administer insurance claims unless the terms are FOB destination or special terms and conditions of the sale require the Company to administer such insurance claims. The customer is not contractually eligible for any refund of the purchase price or right of return of the contracted product, unless the product fails to meet published product specifications and the Company fails to perform its obligations under product warranty terms.
 
The terms of sale are generally on a purchase order basis, which may contain formal product acceptance clauses. Occasionally, clauses may be included in a contract or purchase order that require acceptance related to certain specifications as outlined in the contract or purchase order. In these instances, the nature of the acceptance is evaluated to ensure that the Company has met the applicable criteria concurrent with the shipment of equipment to the customer.
 
The Company sometimes uses distributors to assist in the sales function. In these cases, the Company does not recognize revenue until title for the equipment and risk of loss have passed to the ultimate customer, who then becomes obligated to pay with no right of return. In addition, the Company reviews all alliance agreements to determine whether revenue should be recognized on a gross or net basis and recognizes revenue as appropriate.
 
Baldwin maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. If the financial condition of Baldwin’s customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances could be required.
 
Baldwin provides for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time revenue is recognized. While Baldwin engages in extensive product quality programs and processes, including actively monitoring and evaluating the quality of its component suppliers, Baldwin’s warranty obligation is affected by product failure rates, material usage and service delivery costs incurred in correcting a product failure. Should actual product failure rates, material usage or service delivery costs differ from Baldwin’s estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty liability would be required.

Table of Contents

Baldwin writes down its inventory for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required. Due to the continued deteriorating macro-economic environment, a decision to transfer equipment manufacturing from the U.S. to Germany, general restructuring of the U.S. operations and the inability of the U.S. operation to reach target goals for inventory utilization, the Company recorded a $4,250 additional reserve for obsolescence during the third quarter of fiscal year 2009 for its U.S. inventories.
 
Baldwin records a valuation allowance to reduce its net deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Baldwin has considered future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance. In the event Baldwin were to determine that it would be able to realize its deferred tax assets in the future in excess of the net recorded amount, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance would increase income in the period such determination is made. Likewise, should Baldwin determine that it would not be able to realize all or part of its net deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance would be recorded through a charge to income in the period such determination is made. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined using statutory tax rates for temporary differences between book and tax bases of assets and liabilities, as well as the effects of net operating losses carried forward in certain tax jurisdictions in which the Company operates that may be utilized to offset future taxable income and similar tax credits carried forward that may be utilized to reduce future taxes payable. The Company records valuation allowances on deferred tax assets when appropriate to reflect the expected future tax benefits to be realized. In determining the appropriate valuation allowances, certain judgments are made by management relating to recoverability of deferred tax assets, use of tax loss and tax credit carryforwards, levels of expected future taxable income and available tax planning strategies. The assumptions in making these judgments are updated periodically by management based on overall economic conditions and current business conditions that affect the Company. These management judgments are therefore subject to change based on factors that include, but are not limited to (1) changes in the profitability of the Company’s subsidiaries as well as for the Company as a whole, (2) the ability of the Company to successfully execute its tax planning strategies, and (3) the accuracy of the Company’s estimate of the potential effect that changes in tax legislation in the jurisdictions where the Company operates may have on the Company’s future taxable profits. Failure by the Company to achieve forecasted taxable income or to execute its tax planning strategies may affect the ultimate realization of certain deferred tax assets. Factors that may affect the Company’s ability to achieve sufficient forecasted taxable income or successfully execute its tax planning strategies include, but are not limited to, increased competition, general economic conditions, a decline in sales or earnings, loss of market share, delays in product availability and changes in tax legislation.
 
The Company tests goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level, at least annually, by determining the fair value of the reporting unit based on a discounted cash flow model, and comparing it with its book value. If, during the annual impairment review, the book value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill is compared with the carrying amount of the unit’s goodwill. If the carrying amount exceeds the implied fair value, goodwill is written down to its implied fair value. SFAS 142 requires management to estimate the fair value of each reporting unit, as well as the fair value of the assets and liabilities of each reporting unit, other than goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined as the difference between the fair value of a reporting unit, taken as a whole, and the fair value of the assets and liabilities of such reporting unit.
 
As a result of the deteriorating macro-economic environment, the continued market volatility and the Company’s decreased market capitalization, the Company assessed the recoverability of its goodwill carrying value prior to its annual test as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (SFAS 142).
 
In accordance with SFAS 142, a two-step process was used to test goodwill impairment. The first step was to determine if there is an indication of impairment by comparing the estimated fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value including goodwill. Goodwill is considered impaired if the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds the estimated fair value. Upon indication of impairment, a second step is performed to determine the amount of the impairment by comparing the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill with its carrying value.

As a result of the assessment, the Company recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $5,658, primarily related to its Japan reporting unit during the third quarter of fiscal year 2009.
 
Other long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Events which could trigger an impairment review include, among others, a decrease in the market value of an asset, the asset’s inability to generate income from operations and positive cash flow in future periods, a decision to change the manner in which an asset is used, a physical change to the asset and a change in business climate. Baldwin calculates estimated future undiscounted cash flows, before interest and taxes, of the related operation and compares it to the carrying value of the asset in determining whether impairment potentially exists. If a potential impairment exists, a calculation is performed to determine the fair value of the long-lived asset. This calculation is based upon a valuation model and discount rate commensurate with the risks involved. Third party appraised values may also be used in determining whether impairment potentially exists. Future adverse changes in market conditions or poor operating results of a related reporting unit may require the Company to record an impairment charge in the future.
 
The impairment review process requires management to make significant estimates and judgments regarding the future cash flows expected to result from the use and, if applicable, the eventual disposition of the respective assets. The key variables that management must estimate in determining these expected future cash flows include sales volumes, sales prices, sales growth, production and operating costs, capital expenditures, working capital requirements, market conditions and other economic factors. Significant management judgment is involved in estimating these variables, and such estimates are inherently uncertain; however, the assumptions used are reasonable and consistent with the Company’s internal planning. Management periodically evaluates and updates the estimates based on conditions that influence these variables.
 
The assumptions and conditions for determining impairments of property, plant and equipment, goodwill and other intangible assets reflect management’s best assumptions and estimates, but these items involve inherent uncertainties as described above, many of which are not under management’s control. As a result, the accounting for such items could result in different estimates or amounts if management used different assumptions or if different conditions occur in future accounting periods.
 
Pension obligations and the related benefits costs are determined based upon actuarial assumptions regarding mortality, discount rates, long-term return on assets, salary increases, and other factors. Changes in these assumptions can result in changes to the recognized pension expense and recorded liabilities.
 
For Stock-Based Compensation, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options issued as compensation to key employees and non-employee directors. The model determines a fair value based on a number of key variables including the grant date price of the Company’s common stock and the related exercise or strike price, estimated dividend yield, estimated term of the option prior to exercise, risk free rate of interest over the estimated term and a measure of the volatility of the Company’s common stock over the estimated term. Certain of these variables encompass a degree of subjectivity whose variability could result in significantly different values for the grant date fair value of stock option awards. In addition, the Company recognizes share-based compensation cost based upon the number of awards that are expected to vest. This means implicitly includes an estimate for forfeitures based on employee turnover, reductions in force and other factors specific to the award recipient population. The Company has a policy to review its estimate of award forfeitures on an annual basis or when specific facts and circumstances warrant additional review.

Overview
 
Baldwin is a leading global supplier of process automation equipment for the commercial and newspaper printing industries. The Company offers its customers a broad range of market-leading technologies, products and systems that enhance the quality of printed products and improve the economic and environmental efficiency of printing presses. Headquartered in Shelton, Connecticut, the Company has sales and service centers and product development and manufacturing operations in the Americas, Asia, Australia and Europe. Baldwin’s technology and products include cleaning systems and related consumables, fluid management and ink control systems, web press protection systems and drying systems, blending and packaging services, and related services and parts.
 
The Company manages its business as one reportable business segment built around its core competency in process automation equipment.
 
The global economic climate continued to deteriorate during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009. The market for printing equipment faced and continues to face significant challenges due to the current economic environment. Several of the Company’s largest customers (major OEM press manufacturers) have reported weakness in orders and sales, particularly for commercial presses. These events translated into a lower level of business activity for the Company and were reflected in lower order intake and reduced shipment levels of the Company’s equipment. As a result of the slowing global economy, the Company has implemented cost reduction and restructuring programs designed to mitigate the impact of the continuing weak market for printing equipment.
 
Highlights for Fiscal Year ended June 30, 2009
 
  •  Revenues, excluding currency effects, declined 23%, versus the year ago comparable period.
 
  •  Backlog of $38,693 at June 30, 2009 decreased 20% versus June 30, 2008.
 
  •  Order intake was down 27% versus the comparable year ago period.
 
  •  Cash flow provided by operations during the year ended June 30, 2009 was $2,631.

  •  The Company recorded restructuring charges of $4,747 and announced cost saving initiatives that will result in benefits in excess of $24,000.
 
  •  The Company completed its analysis of the recoverability of goodwill and the net realizable value of inventory and recorded a non — cash goodwill impairment charge of $5,658 and an inventory reserve adjustment of $4,250 during the third quarter of fiscal year 2009.
 
  •  Due to the charges taken by the Company during the third quarter ended March 31, 2009, the Company was not in compliance with certain provisions of its credit agreement. In July 2009, the Company successfully concluded an amendment to its credit agreement with its lenders covering the period through November 21, 2011.
 
  •  The effective tax rate for the period ended June 30, 2009 differs from the statutory rate, reflecting the effect of the following factors: (i) no tax benefit recognized for losses incurred in certain jurisdictions, as the realization of any such benefit was not more likely than not; and (ii) the impairment of goodwill which has no associated tax benefit.

Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2009 versus Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2008
 
Consolidated Results
 
Net Sales.  Net sales for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, decreased $59,758, or 25% to $176,572 from $236,330 for the year ended June 30, 2008. Currency rate fluctuations effecting the Company’s overseas operations decreased net sales for the current period by $6,518. Excluding the effects of currency translation, net sales for fiscal year 2009 decreased $53,240 or 23% when compared with fiscal year 2008. The decrease primarily reflects continued weakening of global demand for the Company’s cleaning equipment.
 
In Europe, net sales (excluding the effects of currency translations) decreased approximately $30,193. Reduced order and sales activity by OEM press manufacturers, primarily in Germany, for new printing equipment, and lower level demand from end user customers primarily account for the decline in sales in the commercial market.
 
In Asia, particularly Japan, net sales decreased approximately $13,351 (excluding the effects of currency translations). The decrease reflects the impact of the slowing Asian economies in the commercial and newspaper markets for the Company’s cleaning equipment.
 
Net Sales in the Americas decreased $9,696, primarily reflecting lower demand in the U.S. newspaper market for cleaning systems.
 
Gross Profit.  Gross profit for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 decreased to $49,179 (27.9% of sales) versus $74,831 (31.7% of sales) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008. Due to the continued deteriorating macro-economic environment, a decision to transfer equipment manufacturing from the U.S. to Germany, a general restructuring of the U.S. operations and the inability of the U.S. operation to reach target goals for inventory utilization, the Company recorded a $4,250 write down of inventory in the U.S. negatively impacting gross profit. Excluding the adjustment for inventory, gross profit for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, was $53,429 (30.3% of net sales). Currency rate fluctuations decreased gross profit by $2,780 in the current period. Gross profit excluding the inventory write down as a percentage of net sales decreased primarily as a result of the effect of the lower volume noted above on overhead absorption, partially offset by lower warranty costs.
 
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.  Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) of $36,209 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, including a $465 additional reserve of a customer account receivable, decreased $7,996, or 18% versus the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008. Currency rate fluctuations effecting the Company’s overseas operations decreased SG&A expenses for fiscal year 2009 by $1,285. Excluding the effects of currency translation, SG&A expenses for fiscal year 2009 decreased $6,711 or 15% when compared with the corresponding year ago period.

Table of Contents

G&A expenses, excluding the effects of currency translations of $643 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, decreased $3,935 or 15% compared to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008. This decrease primarily reflects reduced salary, benefit and other associated employee costs commensurate with reductions in headcount (approximately $1,400), reduced incentive compensation accruals (approximately $1,700), and lower outside professional services and consultant cost (approximately $1,600).
 
Selling expenses excluding the effects of currency translations of $642 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 decreased $2,776 or 15% versus the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008. The decrease in selling expenses reflects reduced salary, benefit and other associated employee costs commensurate with reductions in headcount and the lower level of sales activity of approximately $1,300, coupled with reduced trade show/ advertising costs of approximately $1,500.
 
Engineering and Development Expenses.  Engineering and development expenses excluding the effects of currency translations of $648 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 decreased $3,003 or 16% versus the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 and reflects reduced salary, benefit and other associated employee costs commensurate with reductions in headcount. Engineering and development expenses were approximately 8% of sales for each of the fiscal years ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008.
 
Restructuring.  The Company recorded $4,747 of restructuring costs during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 versus $960 in the comparable prior year period. The current year restructuring plan, adopted in response to continued weak market conditions, is designed to achieve operational efficiencies in Germany and consists primarily of employee terminations and the consolidation of production facilities in Germany. The fiscal year 2008 Plan consisted primarily of reductions in employment levels in Germany in an effort to achieve operational efficiencies.
 
Impairment of Goodwill.  As a result of the deteriorating macro-economic environment, the continued market volatility and the Company’s decreased market capitalization, the Company assessed the recoverability of its goodwill carrying value. As a result of the assessment, the Company recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $5,658 related to its Japan reporting unit during the third quarter of fiscal year 2009.
 
Interest and Other.  Interest expense of $2,305 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 decreased $822 versus the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008. This decrease reflects lower average debt levels and lower average interest rates during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 versus the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008. Currency rate fluctuations decreased interest expense $137 in the current period.
 
Interest income declined $146, while other income and expense, net, amounted to income of $868 versus income of $271 for the periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and primarily reflects net foreign exchange gains.
 
(Loss) Income before income taxes.  Loss before income taxes for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 was $13,824 compared to income before income taxes of $8,353 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008. The loss before income taxes reflects the aforementioned goodwill impairment charge of $5,658, restructuring charges of $4,747, and additional inventory and accounts receivable reserves totaling $4,715. For the current fiscal year, currency rate fluctuations increased the loss before income taxes by $886.
 
Income Taxes.  The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $2,013 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 versus a provision of $1,862 during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008. During the year ended June 30, 2008, the Company reversed approximately $1,642 ($1,225 in the third quarter and $415 in the fourth quarter) of its valuation allowance for net deferred tax assets associated with its U.S. operations. This reversal of a portion of the U.S. operations deferred tax valuation allowance is based upon i) prudent and feasible tax planning strategies, ii) the U.S. operations historical and projected operating performance, and iii) management’s expectation that its operations will generate sufficient taxable income in future periods to realize a portion of the tax benefits associated with its deferred tax assets. The effective tax rates of 14.6% and 22.2% for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, differ from the statutory rate, because the expected benefit in fiscal year 2009 and benefit associated with the reversal of a portion of the U.S. valuation allowance in fiscal year 2008 were partially offset by (a) foreign income taxed at rates different than the U.S. statutory rate, (b) no benefit recognized for losses incurred in certain countries as the realization of such benefits was not more likely than not, and (c) foreign and

domestic permanent items including the non-deductibility of the fiscal year 2009 goodwill impairment charge. The Company continues to assess the need for its deferred tax asset valuation allowance in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Any adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance would be recorded in the income statement of the period that the adjustment is determined to be required.
 
Net (Loss) Income.  The Company’s net loss amounted to $11,811 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 compared to net income of $6,491 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008. Currency translation unfavorably impacted net income by approximately $764.
 
Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2008 Versus Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2007
 
Overview
 
For the year ended June 30, 2008, net sales as reported were $236,330 representing approximately a 17% increase over the previous year’s net sales as reported. The increase in net sales, as more fully described in the sections below, was favorably impacted during the period by the acquisitions in fiscal year 2007, currency exchange rates and net sales increases in Asia and the Americas. Partially offsetting these increases in net sales was decreased demand in the commercial and newspaper markets served by the Company’s European subsidiaries.
 
Gross margins as reported were 31.6% versus the prior year’s gross margins of 32.6%. This decrease was attributable to unfavorable overhead absorption, unfavorable sales mix and higher material and technical service costs.
 
Operating income as reported remained at approximately 5% of net sales for the years ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007.
 
Additionally, the results for the year ended June 30, 2008 reflect higher interest expense associated with higher debt levels and a reversal of a portion of the valuation allowance for net deferred tax assets associated with the Company’s U.S. operations.
 
Consolidated Results
 
Net Sales.  Net sales for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, increased $34,853, or 17% to $236,330 from $201,477 for the year ended June 30, 2007. Revenue from the acquired companies during the non-comparable ownership period of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 (Oxy-Dry was acquired in November 2006 and Hildebrand in April 2007) and the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 favorably impacted net sales by $16,095. Currency rate fluctuations effecting the Company’s overseas operations increased net sales for the current period by $16,149. Excluding the effects of the acquired businesses for the non-comparable period and currency translation, net sales for fiscal year 2008 increased $2,609, or 1% when compared with fiscal year 2007.
 
The net sales increase, excluding the effects of the non-comparable period of the acquired businesses and currency translations, primarily reflects increased revenue in Asia and the Americas partially offset by decreased revenue in Europe.
 
In Asia, particularly Japan, net sales increased approximately $1,876 (excluding the effects of currency translations). The increase reflects higher revenue from increased market share for spray dampening equipment, a systematic approach to expand the cleaning consumables business and a focused effort on the sales of service and parts. These increases were partially offset by lower cleaning equipment demand by OEMs and reduced market share for the Company’s water systems.
 
In the Americas, particularly the U.S., net sales (excluding the effects of the acquired businesses) increased approximately $3,593. The increase is primarily related to an increased presence in the fluid temperature control market and sales of other U.S. based products. Growth from installation, service and parts also contributed to the increased revenue. Installation revenue increased on large newspaper equipment projects delivered in late fiscal year 2007 while the service and parts revenue increase benefited from a concentrated marketing effort to Baldwin’s large customer installed base of equipment at commercial and newspaper customers. Partially offsetting these increases was lower demand for cleaning and spray dampening equipment.

Table of Contents

In Europe, net sales (excluding the effects of the acquired businesses and currency translations) decreased approximately $2,860. The decrease primarily reflects reduced order and sales activity in the commercial markets by OEM press manufacturers in Germany for cleaning, water and web control systems. Lower demand for the Company’s spray dampening equipment in the newspaper market related to fewer newspaper projects in fiscal year 2008 versus fiscal year 2007 and a sales mix change to lower-priced spray dampening equipment in fiscal year 2008. Partially offsetting these declines were increased dryer and cleaning consumables sales due to the large installed base of equipment utilizing these products.
 
Gross Profit.  Gross profit for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 increased to $74,745 (31.6% of sales) versus $65,774 (32.6% of sales) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. Excluding the favorable foreign currency translation effect of $5,798 and the effect of the acquired businesses for the non-comparable period in fiscal year 2007 of $3,930, gross profit remained relatively flat. As a percentage of sales, gross profit declined primarily as a result of an unfavorable sales mix and unfavorable cost absorption associated with the lower volume of certain product lines, coupled with higher material and technical service costs.
 
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.  Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) of $44,205 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 increased $6,251, or 16% versus the fiscal year ended June 20, 2007. SG&A expenses of the acquired businesses during the non-comparable ownership period of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 and the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 negatively impacted expenses by $2,042. In addition, currency rate fluctuations effecting the Company’s overseas operations increased SG&A expenses for fiscal year 2008 by $2,517. Excluding the effects of the acquired businesses for the non-comparable period and currency translation, SG&A expenses for fiscal year 2008 increased $1,692, or 4% when compared with the corresponding year ago period.
 
G&A expenses, excluding the effects of the non-comparable period of the acquired businesses of $1,123 and currency translations of $1,170 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, increased $666, or 3% compared to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. This increase relates primarily to increased expenses associated with stock based compensation, approximately $250, and incentive compensation costs, approximately $800. Partially offsetting these increases were lower consulting/professional costs related to audit services and other financial services fees, and severance and employee procurement costs of approximately $500.
 
Selling expenses excluding the effects of the non comparable period of the acquired businesses of $919 and currency translations, of $1,347 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 increased $1,026, or 7% versus the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. The increase in selling expenses reflects the level of sales activity coupled with increased trade show costs.
 
Engineering and Development Expenses.  Engineering and development expenses excluding the effects of the non-comparable period of the acquired businesses of $716 and currency translations of $1,590 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 decreased $579, or 3% versus the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. Engineering and development expenses remained at approximately 8% of sales for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007.
 
Restructuring.  The Company recorded $960 of restructuring costs during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 versus $994 in the comparable prior year period. The 2008 restructuring plan was designed to achieve operational efficiencies in Germany and consists entirely of employee terminations. The fiscal year 2007 plan was designed to achieve operational efficiencies in sales, marketing, administration and operational activities primarily in Germany, the U.S. and the U.K. and included employee termination costs of $810, facility relocation and lease termination costs of $72 and other associated costs of $112.
 
Interest and Other.  Interest expense of $3,127 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 increased $855 versus the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. This increase reflects higher average debt levels during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 of approximately $3,500 versus the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. In addition, the interest expense for the twelve months ended June 30, 2008 includes higher (approximately $273) of additional amortization of capitalized finance costs. Currency rate fluctuations increased interest expense $202 in the current period.

Table of Contents

Interest income remained relatively flat year over year, while other income and expense, net, amounted to income of $271 versus expense of $253 for the periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and reflects net foreign exchange gains and losses.
 
Income before income taxes.  Income before income taxes for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 was $8,267 compared to income before income taxes of $7,598 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. For the current fiscal year, currency rate fluctuations increased income before income taxes by $1,693.
 
Income Taxes.  The Company recorded an income tax provision of $1,831 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008. During the year ended June 30, 2008, the Company reversed approximately $1,642 ($1,225 in third quarter and $415 in fourth quarter) of its valuation allowance for net deferred tax assets associated with its U.S. operations. This reversal of a portion of the U.S. operations deferred tax valuation allowance is based upon i) prudent and feasible tax planning strategies, ii) the U.S. operations historical and projected operating performance, and iii) management’s expectation that the operations will generate sufficient taxable income in future periods to realize a portion of the tax benefits associated with its deferred tax assets. The Company recorded an income tax provision of $958 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007, the Company reversed a portion of its valuation allowance for net deferred tax assets associated with its U.S. operations (approximately $2,500) which resulted in the recording of a net tax benefit of $1,437 for the quarter ended June 30, 2007. The reversal of a portion of the U.S. operations deferred tax valuation allowance was based upon the U.S. operations historical operating performances and management’s expectation that the operations will generate sufficient taxable income in future periods to realize a portion of the tax benefits associated with its net operating loss carryforwards. Partially offsetting the benefits of the valuation allowance releases in the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were (a) foreign income taxed at rates higher than the U.S. statutory rate, (b) no benefit recognized for losses incurred in certain countries as the realization of such benefits was not more likely than not and (c) foreign and domestic permanent items. Therefore, the effective tax rates (excluding the reversal of a portion of the valuation allowance) of 42.0% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 and 45.5% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 differ from the statutory rate. The Company continues to assess the need for its deferred tax asset valuation allowance in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Any adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance would be recorded in the income statement of the period that the adjustment is determined to be required.
 
Net Income.  The Company’s net income amounted to $6,436 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 and primarily reflects the higher income from operations, partially offset by higher interest expense coupled with a favorable tax rate when compared to net income of $6,640 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. Currency translation favorably impacted net income by approximately $1,838.
 
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 cash flow from operating, financing and investing activities as reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows are summarized in the tables below.

Cash flow from operating activities:
                       
Net cash provided by operating activities
  $ 2,631     $ 7,632     $ 4,246  
                         
 
Net cash from operating activities for the year ended June 30, 2009 decreased $5,001 compared to fiscal year 2008. The decrease reflects reduced profitability coupled with lower levels of accounts/notes payable due to the timing of vendor payments, lower accrued compensation, as bonus payments in fiscal 2009 for fiscal year 2008 performance exceeded those in fiscal 2008 for fiscal year 2007 performance, charges to vacation accruals during

extended facility shut downs, higher restructuring payments and warranty related payments. Partially offsetting these decreases were lower balances of accounts/notes receivable and inventory and an increase in customer deposits. The decreased balances in accounts/notes receivable and inventory reflect the lower revenue in fiscal 2009 versus fiscal 2008 as well as the Company’s continued focus on cash management.
 
Net cash from operating activities for the year ended June 30, 2008 increased $3,386 compared to fiscal year 2007. Higher revenue and profitability led to increased receipts from sales in fiscal year 2008. Disciplined asset management led to a decline in days sales outstanding (59 in fiscal year 2008; 64 in fiscal year 2007) and an increase in inventory turns. Additionally, cash flow from operations benefited from the timing of the payment of certain trade account and notes payable. These increases were partially offset by higher restructuring payments, payments against acquisition related liabilities and lower customer deposits.

During fiscal year 2009 cash from financing activities of $3,614 primarily reflects borrowings in excess of repayments of $4,399. In addition, the Company utilized $602 to meet long term obligations under its capital lease and assumed liabilities obligations and $183 of cash to purchase shares of its Class A Common Stock under its share repurchase program. At June 30, 2009, approximately $2.4 million remained available for use under the share repurchase program. Repurchases are restricted under the terms of the credit agreement as amended on July 31, 2009.
 
During fiscal year 2008 the Company utilized cash in financing activities of $11,449. Based on the strength of its operating cash flow, the Company was able to make net debt repayments against its external credit facilities of $10,578. In addition, the Company utilized $760 of cash to purchase shares of its Class A Common Stock under its share repurchase program. At June 30, 2008, approximately $2.5 million remained available for use under the share repurchase program.

During fiscal year 2007, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement with Bank of America (“BofA”). Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Company received a $35 million bridge loan, the proceeds of which were used to refinance the Company’s previously existing obligations and fund the acquisition of Oxy-Dry and Hildebrand and the associated closing costs. The Credit Agreement provided for the bridge loan to be converted to a permanent facility, consisting of a $15 million term loan (the “Term Loan”) and $35 million of revolving lines of credit. On January 19, 2007, the Company initiated a draw on this permanent financing facility using the proceeds to repay the aforementioned bridge loan and associated interest.
 
During the third quarter of fiscal year 2009, the Company was not in compliance with certain provisions of its credit agreement. The restructuring charges, goodwill impairment charge and additional inventory/accounts receivable reserves recorded during the third quarter would have caused the Company’s trailing twelve month reported EBITDA to decrease to a level lower than the minimum level required by the Credit Agreement. On March 31, 2009, the Company entered into a Modification and Limited Waiver Agreement (the “Waiver Agreement”) with Bank of America, as Lender and as Administrative Agent, and certain other Lenders covering the period from March 31, 2009 through May 15, 2009, which period on May 15, 2009 was extended through July 31, 2009. The Waiver Agreement modified the credit agreement as follows: (i) increased the applicable margin rates 2.5% during the waiver period, (ii) reduced the amount of revolving credit available from $35,000 to $17,100 and (iii) increased the collateral. On July 31, 2009, the Company concluded an amendment to its credit agreement with Bank of America. The amendment modified the Credit Agreement as follows: (i) euro borrowings bear interest at LIBOR plus 4.50%, or in the case of U.S. dollar loans, at the prime rate plus 3.00%, (ii) reduced the amount of revolving commitment from $35,000 to $25,000 provided that the aggregate of all revolving loans outstanding plus $7,900 not exceed $25,000 and (iii) increased collateral.
 
Prior to the amendment entered into on July 31, 2009 interest rates under the permanent facility were dependant on which option the Company elected under the Credit Agreement, and were based on London Interbank Offering Rates (“LIBOR”), or in the case of U.S. dollar loans, at the prime rate. Loans based on LIBOR bear interest at LIBOR plus: i) 2.50% when the total debt to EBITDA ratio is greater than 3.00:1, ii) 2.25% when the total debt to EBITDA ratio is greater than 2.50:1 but less than or equal to 3.00:1, iii) 2.00% when the total debt to EBITDA ratio is greater than 2.00:1 but less than or equal to 2.50:1, and iv) 1.75% when the total debt to EBITDA ratio is less than or equal to 2.00:1. Loans based on the prime rate bore interest at the prime rate plus: i) 1.00% when the total debt to EBITDA ratio is greater than 3.00:1, ii) 0.75% when the total debt to EBITDA ratio is greater than 2.50:1 but less than or equal to 3.00:1, iii) 0.50% when the total debt to EBITDA ratio is greater than 2.00:1 but less than or equal to 2.50:1, and iv) 0.25% when the total debt to EBITDA ratio is less than or equal to 2.00:1.
 
The Credit Agreement as amended on July 31, 2009 requires the Company to satisfy minimum EBITDA, Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, Total Funded Debt Ratio, Minimum Currency Adjusted Net Sales, Capital Expenditures, and Minimum Liquidity tests. Minimum EBITDA, as defined, must not be less than i) $1,100 for the six month period ending December 31, 2009, ii) $2,300 for the three Fiscal Quarters ending March 31, 2010, iii) $4,100 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2010 and iv) $12,000 for each Four Fiscal Quarter computation period ending on or after September 30, 2010. The Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, as defined, must not be less then 1.25 to 1.00 for the Four Fiscal Quarter Computation Period ending September 30, 2010. The Leverage Ratio must not exceed 3.00 to 1.00 for the Four Fiscal Quarter Computation Period ending September 30, 2010. Currency Adjusted Net Sales must not be less then certain defined levels for the fifteen reporting periods consisting of three consecutive three-month periods commencing with the first reporting period ending on July 31, 2009 and the final reporting period ending on September 30, 2010. Capital expenditures must not exceed $1,000 for the Fiscal Year ending June 30, 2010. Minimum Liquidity, as defined as the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of consolidated cash and cash equivalents of the Parent, Domestic and European Subsidiaries shall not be less than $300 and not permit borrowings under the Revolving Loan or request issuance or increase in any Letters of Credit if the sum of all Dollar Equivalent Revolving Outstandings, Letters of Credit and Specified Availability exceeds $25,000.
 
The Credit Agreement, prior to the July 31, 2009 amendment, required the Company to satisfy certain minimum EBITDA, Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and Total Funded Debt Ratio tests. The Credit Agreement provided that total EBITDA, as defined in the Credit Agreement, must not be less than i) $10,000 for each of the computation periods ending on December 31, 2006 and March 31, 2007 ii) $11,000 for each of the computation periods ending on June 30, 2007 and September 30, 2007 and iii) any computation period ending on December 31,

2007 and thereafter: $12,000. The Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement, must not be less than 1.25 to 1.0 commencing with the computation period ending on December 31, 2006. Total Funded Debt Ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement shall not exceed i) 3.50 to 1.0 for any computation period ending on or after December 31, 2006 and on or before March 31, 2009 and ii) 3.00 to 1.0 for any computation period on or after June 30, 2009. The Company was in compliance with loan covenants at June 30, 2007 and 2008.
 
The term of the permanent facility remained at five years under the July 31, 2009 amendment, maturing on November 21, 2011. Commencing on February 21, 2007, the Company has been required to repay the Term Loan in quarterly installments as provided in the Credit Agreement through November 21, 2011. Payments against the term loan in fiscal years 2009, 2008 and 2007 were approximately $2,916, $2,311, and $787, respectively.
 
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement in the U.S. are secured by substantially all of the Company’s domestic assets (approximately $20,000) and in Europe by a pledge of the Company’s European assets and the stock of the Company’s European subsidiaries and certain Asian subsiding stock.
 
The Company incurred cash costs of approximately $1,168 associated with the July 31, 2009 amendment. Certain of these costs, along with legacy deferred financing costs, are required to be charged to expense and the Company will record a charge of approximately $1,177 during the first quarter of fiscal year 2010. The balance of these costs coupled with legacy deferred financing costs, totaling approximately $1,231, will be amortized over the remaining term of the amended agreement.
 
Restructuring and Cost Saving Initiatives
 
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 the Company announced restructuring and cost saving initiatives in response to the significant challenges facing the market for printing equipment due to the then current economic environment. The total restructuring charges of $4,747 ($681 during the quarter ended December 31, 2008 and $4,066 during the quarter ended March 31, 2009) are designed to reduce the Company’s worldwide cost base and strengthen its competitive position as a leading global supplier of process automation equipment. The restructuring actions primarily relate to employment reductions and facility consolidation in Germany. The Company made cash payments from these plans of $2,489 in fiscal year 2009 (a total of $3,051 of restructuring payments made were in fiscal year 2009 under all of its restructuring plans including its prior year restructuring plans) and anticipates a total of approximately $2,258 in addition to be paid through the second quarter of fiscal year 2010.
 
The restructuring actions, combined with other initiatives implemented during the year, in Europe, the U.S. and Japan eliminated approximately 107 full-time positions. In addition, the Company eliminated merit increases for all of the Company’s workforce (except those covered by existing union contracts), temporarily suspended the Company’s matching contribution to the U.S. 401 (k) plan, reduced U.S. based healthcare costs and has received voluntary salary reduction agreements from senior managers. The Company estimates that annual savings from all of the above initiatives will be approximately $10,000.
 
The Company has also instituted cost reduction initiatives involving reduction in overtime, implementation of short-time work weeks, reduction of external service providers and extension of holiday shut down, reduced use of subcontractors and temporary labor and related travel costs, and management of other variable costs, all of which are expected to provide additional annual savings of approximately $13,900.
 
The Company maintains relationships with foreign and domestic banks, which combined, have extended credit facilities totaling $34,533 at June 30, 2009. As of June 30, 2009, the Company had $29,018 outstanding (including Letters of Credit and Guarantees under these facilities). The amount available under these facilities at June 30, 2009 was $5,515.
 
The Company believes that its cash flow from operations, along with its available bank lines of credit are sufficient to finance its operations and other capital requirements over the term of the Credit Agreement.
 
At June 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As such, the Company is not exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if the Company had engaged in such relationships.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codificationtm and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS 168”). SFAS 168 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codificationtm (“Codification” or “ASC”) as the sole source of authoritative GAAP recognized by the FASB for nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases issued by the SEC under federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. SFAS 168 is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009 (effective September 30, 2009 for the Company). The Company does not believe that the adoption of SFAS 168 will have a material effect on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), and (“SFAS 167”). SFAS 167 amends FIN 46(R) and changes the consolidation guidance applicable to a variable interest entity (“VIE”). It also amends the guidance governing the determination of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, and is, therefore, required to consolidate an entity, by requiring a qualitative analysis rather than a quantitative analysis. The qualitative analysis will include, among other things, consideration of which enterprise has the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and which enterprise has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. This standard also requires continuous reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. Previously, FIN 46(R) required reconsideration of whether an enterprise was the primary beneficiary of a VIE only when specific events had occurred. Qualifying special purpose entities (“QSPEs”), which were previously exempt from the application of this standard, will be subject to the provisions of this standard when it becomes effective. SFAS 167 also requires enhanced disclosures about an enterprise’s involvement with a VIE. SFAS 167 is effective as of the beginning of the Company’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009 (effective July 1, 2010 for the Company). The Company does not believe that adoption of SFAS No. 167 will have an impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In June 2009, the FASB approved EITF No. 09-1, “Accounting for Own-Share Lending Arrangements in Contemplation of Convertible Debt Issuance” (“EITF 09-1”), which clarifies that share lending arrangements that are executed in connection with convertible debt offerings or other financings should be considered debt issuance costs and amortized using the effective interest method over the life of the financing arrangement as interest cost. In addition, EITF 09-1 states that the loaned shares should be excluded from basic and diluted earnings per share unless default of the share-lending arrangement occurs, at which time the loaned shares would be included in the common and diluted earnings per share calculation. EITF 09-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2009 (effective July 1, 2010 for the Company), and retrospective application is required for all periods presented. The Company does not believe that EITF 09-1 will have a material effect on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
In June 2009, the Company adopted SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events” (“SFAS 165”), to incorporate the accounting and disclosure requirements for subsequent events into U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Prior to the issuance of the Statement, these requirements were included in the auditing standards in AICPA AU section 560, “Subsequent Events.” SFAS 165 introduces new terminology, defines a date through which management must evaluate subsequent events, and lists the circumstances under which an entity must recognize and disclose events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date. It is effective prospectively for interim or annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009 (See Note 21) to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments” (“FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2”), to make the guidance on other-than-temporary impairments of debt securities more operational and improve the financial statement disclosures related to other-than-temporary impairments for debt and equity securities. If the fair value of a debt security is below its amortized cost and the entity intends to sell the security or it is more likely than not that the entity will sell the security before recovery of the cost basis, an other-than-temporary impairment exists. The entire impairment is recognized in earnings. If it is more likely than not that the entity will not sell the security before recovery of the cost basis but it is probable the entity will be unable to collect all amounts due under the contractual terms of the security, an other-than-temporary impairment exists. The amount of the impairment related to credit losses is recognized in earnings with the amount of the impairment due to other factors recognized in other comprehensive income. FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 are effective for annual and interim periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted the provisions of FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 in June 2009 and it did not have a material effect on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) FAS 107-1 and Accounting Principles Board Opinions (“APB”) 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” (“FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1”), to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of public entities. An entity is required to disclose the methods and assumptions used in estimating fair value. FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 are effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted the provisions of FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 in June 2009 and it did not have a material effect on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
In December 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 132R-1, “Employers’ Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets,” to require employers to provide more transparency about the assets in their postretirement benefit plans, including defined benefit pension plans. FSP FAS 132R-1 requires employers to consider various objectives in providing more detailed disclosures about plan assets. The disclosure required by the FSP is required for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009. The Company intends to adopt FSP FAS 132R-1 effective for fiscal years ending on and after June 30, 2010 and does not expect the adoption to have a material effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
In December 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 140-4 and FIN 46(R)-8, “Disclosures by Public Entities (Enterprises) About Transfers of Financial Assets and Interest in Variable Interest Entities” (“FSP FAS 140-4 and FIN 46(R)-8”). FSP FAS 140-4 and FIN 46(R)-8 require enhanced disclosures regarding the transfer of financial assets and variable interest entities. The adoption of FSP 140-4 and FIN 46(R)-8 did not have a material effect on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In November 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ratified a consensus opinion reached by the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) on EITF Issue 08-7, “Accounting for Defensive Intangible Assets,” to clarify how to account for defensive intangible assets subsequent to initial measurement. This issue applies to acquired intangible assets, except for those used in research and development activities that an entity does not intend to actively use but intends to hold to prevent others from using. The consensus requires that intangible assets within the scope of Issue 08-7 be accounted for as separate units of accounting and assigned useful lives reflecting the period over which they diminish in fair value. EITF Issue 08-7 is effective for intangible assets acquired on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008, consistent with the effective date of FASB Statement 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations. The Company intends to begin applying the provisions of EITF Issue 08-7 to defensive intangible assets acquired on July 1, 2009. The Company does not believe the adoption of EITF Issue 08-7 will have a significant effect on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
In November 2008, the FASB approved EITF 08-6, “Equity Method Investment Accounting Considerations.” EITF 08-6 clarifies the accounting for certain transactions and impairment considerations involving equity method investments. EITF 08-6 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, with early adoption prohibited (effective July 1, 2009 for the Company). The Company does not believe that EITF 08-6 will have a material effect on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
In July 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective of SFAS 159 is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently. The adoption of SFAS 159 did not have a material effect on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
In June 2008, the FASB approved EITF Issue No. 07-5, “Determining Whether an Instrument (or an Embedded Feature) is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock.” EITF 07-5 provides guidance for determining whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to an entity’s own stock and thus meets one of the scope exceptions for derivative accounting under SFAS 133. The determination is a two step process which requires the evaluation of the instrument’s contingent exercise provisions and the instrument’s settlement provisions. EITF 07-5 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 (effective July 1, 2009 for the Company). The Company does not believe that EITF 07-5 will have a material effect on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
In June 2008, the FASB issued FSP EITF 03-6-1 “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions are Participating Securities” (“FSP EITF 03-6-1”), which clarified that all outstanding unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to nonforfeitable dividends participate in undistributed earnings with common shareholders. Awards of this nature are considered participating securities and the two-class method of computing basic and diluted earnings per share must be applied. FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 (effective July 1, 2009 for the Company). The Company is currently evaluating the requirements of FSP EITF 03-6-1 and has not yet determined the impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
In May 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. APB 14-1, “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash Upon Conversion.” The FSP applies to convertible debt instruments that give the issuer the choice of settling the instrument on conversion either (a) entirely in cash or other assets or (b) partially in shares and partially in cash or other assets. The FSP requires issuers to account separately for the liability and equity components of convertible debt instruments that have stated terms permitting settlement on conversion in cash or other assets, with one exception-the accounting does not apply if the embedded conversion option must be accounted for separately as a derivative under SFAS 133. Convertible preferred shares accounted for in equity or temporary equity would also not be subject to the FSP. The FSP is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years (effective July 1, 2009 for the Company). When effective, FSP APB 14-1 will be applied retrospectively to all periods presented in the financial statements. The cumulative effect of the accounting change on periods before those presented would be recognized as of the beginning of the first period presented, with an offsetting adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings for that period, which would be presented separately. The Company does not believe that adoption of FSP No. APB 14-1 will have an impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures About Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“SFAS 161”), which requires enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, as amended, and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 161 during the third quarter of the current fiscal year and it did not have a material effect on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations,” (“SFAS 141(R)”) which retains the fundamental requirements in Statement 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (which Statement 141 called the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. SFAS 141(R) requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date, with limited exceptions. SFAS 141(R) retains the guidance in Statement 141 for identifying and recognizing intangible assets separately from goodwill and applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008 (effective July 1, 2009 for the Company). An entity may not apply SFAS 141(R) before that date. The impact of this Statement will be determined if and when an acquisition occurs.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — An Amendment of ARB No. 51 (“SFAS 160”).” SFAS 160 establishes new accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Specifically, this statement requires the recognition of a noncontrolling interest (minority interest) as equity in the Consolidated Financial Statements and separate from the parent’s equity. The amount of net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest will be included in consolidated net income on the face of the income statement. SFAS 160 clarifies that changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in deconsolidation are equity transactions if the parent retains its controlling financial interest. In addition, this statement requires that a parent recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. Such gain or loss will be measured using the fair value of the noncontrolling equity investment on the deconsolidation date. SFAS 160 also includes expanded disclosure requirements regarding the interests of the parent and its noncontrolling interest. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008 (effective July 1, 2009 for the Company). Earlier adoption is prohibited. The Company does not believe that the adoption of SFAS 160 will have a material effect on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
In December 2007, the FASB ratified a consensus opinion reached by the EITF Issue No. 07-1, “Accounting for Collaborative Arrangements” (“EITF Issue 07-1”), which defines a collaborative arrangement as a contractual arrangement in which the parties are active participants in the arrangement and are exposed to significant risks and rewards that are dependent on the ultimate commercial success of the endeavor. Whether an arrangement is a collaborative arrangement would be determined at the inception of the arrangement and would be reconsidered when facts and circumstances indicate a change in either a participant’s role in the arrangement or its exposure to significant risks and rewards. Participants in a collaborative arrangement would be required to make certain disclosures in their annual financial statements about the nature and purpose of the arrangement and amounts reported in the income statement. The consensus in EITF Issue 07-1 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2008 (effective July 1, 2009 for the Company). The Company does not believe that the adoption of EITF Issue 07-1 will have a material effect on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” (“SFAS 157”) which defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value. SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements, but provides guidance on how to measure fair value by providing a fair value hierarchy used to classify the source of the information. In February 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-1, “Application of FASB Statement No. 157 to FASB Statement No. 13 and Other Accounting Pronouncements That Address Fair Value Measurements for Purposes of Lease Classification or Measurement under Statement 13,” (“FSP FAS 157-1”)

Table of Contents

which amends SFAS 157 to exclude SFAS No. 13 “Accounting for Leases” (“SFAS 13”), and other accounting pronouncements that address fair value measurements for purposes of lease classification or measurement under SFAS 13. In February 2008, the FASB issued FSP 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157”, which defers the effective date of SFAS 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except for items that are recognized at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). In October, 2008 the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-3, “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active” (“FSP FAS 157-3”), which applies to financial assets subject to the fair value accounting requirements of SFAS 157 and clarifies the application of SFAS 157’s valuation requirements to a financial asset in a market that is not active. FSP FAS 157-3 was effective upon issuance, including for prior periods if financial statements had not yet been issued. In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” (“FSP FAS 157-4”), to provide additional guidance on estimating fair value when the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability have significantly decreased. FSP FAS 157-4 also includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. FSP FAS 157-4 emphasizes that, regardless of whether the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability have decreased significantly and regardless of which valuation technique was used, the objective of a fair value measurement under FASB Statement 157, Fair Value Measurements, remains the same — to estimate the price that would be received to sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. If it is determined that the activity for an asset or liability has significantly decreased, the quoted market price may not be fair value and the entity must perform additional analysis to determine fair value. This analysis may include the use of valuation techniques other than quoted market prices. If it is determined that a transaction for an asset or liability was not orderly, an entity should place little weight on that transaction when determining fair value. FSP FAS 157-4 is effective for annual and interim periods ending after June 15, 2009 and must be applied prospectively. On July 1, 2008 the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 157 and related FSP’s as it applies to financial assets and liabilities, and it did not have a material effect on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
Item 7A.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
(amounts in thousands)
 
The Company operates internationally and is exposed to certain market risks arising from transactions that in the normal course of business include fluctuations in interest rates and currency exchange rates. While the Company occasionally uses derivative financial instruments in order to manage or reduce these risks, typically currency futures contracts and interest rate swap agreements, the Company does not enter into derivative or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
 
Interest Rate and Debt Sensitivity
 
As of June 30, 2009, the Company had debt totaling $27,987, most of which bears interest at floating rates.
 
The Company performed a sensitivity analysis as of June 30, 2009, assuming a hypothetical one percentage point increase in interest rates. Holding other variables constant (such as foreign exchange rates and debt levels), a one percentage point increase in interest rates would affect the Company’s pre-tax income by approximately $280. However, actual increases or decreases in earnings in the future could differ materially from this analysis based on the timing and amount of both interest rate changes and amounts borrowed by the Company.

Currency Exchange Rate Sensitivity
 
The Company derived approximately 77% of its revenues from countries outside of the Americas for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009. Results were and continue to be affected by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company’s policy is to hedge the impact of currency rate fluctuations, which could have a material impact on the Company’s financial results. The Company utilizes foreign currency exchange forward contracts to hedge certain of these exposures. The Company also maintains certain levels of cash denominated in various currencies, which acts as a natural hedge against adverse variations in individual currencies.
 
The Company performed a sensitivity analysis as of June 30, 2009 assuming a hypothetical 10% adverse change in foreign currency exchange rates. Holding all other variables constant, the analysis indicated that such a market movement would affect the Company’s pre-tax income by approximately $756. However, actual gains and losses in the future could differ materially from this analysis based on the timing and amount of both foreign currency exchange rate movements and the Company’s actual exposures and hedges.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Baldwin Technology Company, Inc.
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Baldwin Technology Company, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operation, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2009. Our audits of the basic financial statements included the financial statement schedule II listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(2). These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Baldwin Technology Company, Inc., and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2009 and 2008, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2009 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statement taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth, therein.
 
As discussed in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company adopted the provision of FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement 109” effective July 1, 2007.
 
Also, as discussed in Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed its method of accounting for certain of its domestic inventory from last in, first out (LIFO) to first in, first out (FIFO) method effective as of June 30, 2009 and applied this change retrospectively in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections”.

BALDWIN TECHNOLOGY COMPANY, INC.
 
(in thousands except for share and per share data)
 
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 process automation equipment and related consumables for the printing and publishing industry. Headquartered in Shelton, Connecticut, the Company has sales and service centers and product development and manufacturing operations in the Americas, Asia, Australia and Europe. The Company manages its business as one reportable business segment built around its core competency in process automation and equipment.
 
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, its wholly owned subsidiaries, one 90% owned subsidiary and an 80% owned subsidiary. The minority interest amounts are not material to the Consolidated Financial Statements and therefore are not disclosed.
 
Cash and cash equivalents.  The Company considers all highly liquid instruments (cash and short-term securities) with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
 
Accounts Receivable, Notes Receivable/Payable.  Accounts receivable are recorded at their net realizable value after deducting an allowance for doubtful accounts. Such allowance is estimated based on specific cases based on historical incurred losses. Notes receivable, trade reflect promissory notes issued by customers of the Company’s Japanese subsidiary. Notes payable, trade reflect obligations of the Company’s Japanese subsidiary to suppliers.
 
Translation of Foreign Currencies.  All assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated into dollars at the fiscal year-end (current) exchange rates, and revenue and expense are translated at average rates for the fiscal year. The resulting translation adjustments are included in shareholders’ equity. Gains and losses on foreign currency exchange transactions are reflected in the statement of operations. Net transaction gains and losses credited or charged to “Other expense (income), net” for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2009, 2008 and 2007 were $1,025, $66 and $513, respectively.
 
Hedging.  The Company operates internationally and is exposed to certain market risks arising from transactions that in the normal course of business include fluctuations in interest rates and currency exchange rates. While the Company occasionally uses derivative financial instruments in order to manage or reduce these risks, typically currency futures contracts and interest rate swap agreements, the Company does not enter into derivative or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The Company’s policy is to hedge the impact of currency rate fluctuations, which could have a material impact on the Company’s financial results. The Company utilizes foreign currency forward contracts to hedge these exposures.
 
If a derivative is designated as a fair value hedge, the changes in the fair value of the derivative and the underlying hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings. If the derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge, the effective portions of changes in fair value of the derivative are recorded in Other Comprehensive Income (“OCI”) and are recognized in the statement of operations when the underlying hedged item affects earnings. Ineffectiveness related to cash flow hedges is recognized in earnings and is included in “Other expense (income), net”. The Company did not enter into any cash flow hedges for the periods ended June 30, 2009, 2008, or 2007, and the effect of fair value hedge activities is not material to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the periods ending June 30, 2009, 2008 or 2007.
 
Concentration of Credit Risk.  Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of trade accounts and notes receivable and cash and cash equivalents. The Company controls this risk through credit approvals, customer limits and monitoring procedures. For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2009, 2008 and 2007, one customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s net sales

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
and trade accounts receivable. Koenig and Bauer Aktiengesellschaft (“KBA”) accounted for approximately 13%, 15% and 17%, of the Company’s net sales for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and 12% and 15% of trade accounts receivable at June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The Company’s ten largest customers accounted for approximately 45%, 46% and 49% of the Company’s net sales for each of the fiscal years ended June 30, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Foreign cash balances at June 30, 2009 and 2008 were $12,090 and $8,582, respectively.
 
Marketable Securities.  The Company classifies all of its marketable securities as available-for-sale securities. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value based on quoted market prices, with the unrealized gains and losses net of income taxes, reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) included within shareholders’ equity. Cost is determined using the average cost method.
 
Inventories.  Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method (see Note 7). Baldwin writes down its inventory for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions.
 
Property, Plant and Equipment.  The Company depreciates its assets over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives range from 27 to 30 years for buildings, 7 to 10 years for machinery and equipment, 3 to 7 years for furniture and fixtures, the shorter of the lease term or the life of the lease for leasehold improvements and 5 to 7 years for capital leases. Plant and equipment are carried at historical cost and are depreciated using primarily the straight-line method. Repair and maintenance expenditures are expensed as incurred. Depreciation expense amounted to $1,346, $1,645 and $1,378 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
 
Long-lived Assets.  Whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable, the Company evaluates the basis of its long-lived assets based on expectations of undiscounted cash flows related to those assets. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, the Company believes that no impairment of its long-lived assets existed at June 30, 2009 or at June 30, 2008.
 
Stock Based Compensation.  Stock-based compensation represents the cost related to stock-based awards granted to employees. The Company measures stock-based compensation cost at grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and recognizes the cost as expense on a straight-line basis (net of estimated forfeitures) over the employee requisite service period. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using a Black-Scholes valuation model. The Company typically issues new shares upon share option exercise. The Company records deferred tax assets for awards that will result in deductions on the Company’s income tax returns, based on the amount of compensation cost recognized and the Company’s statutory tax rate in the jurisdiction in which it will receive a deduction. Differences between the deferred tax assets recognized for financial reporting purposes and the actual tax deduction reported on the Company’s income tax return are recorded in Additional Paid-in Capital (if the tax deduction exceeds the deferred tax asset) or in the Consolidated Statement of Operations (if the deferred tax asset exceeds the tax deduction and no additional paid-in capital exists from previous awards).
 
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.  Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually, by determining the fair value utilizing a combination of income and market approaches of the reporting unit and comparing the fair value with its recorded book value. The income approach applies a discounted cash flow methodology to the Company’s future period projections and a market approach compares the Company’s multiples of revenues and earnings with those of comparable companies. A reporting unit is the lowest level of an entity that is a business and can be distinguished from other activities, operations, and assets of the entity. If, during the annual impairment review, the book value of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value, the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill is compared with the carrying amount of the unit’s goodwill. If the carrying amount exceeds the implied fair value, goodwill is written down to its implied fair value. SFAS No. 142 requires management to estimate the fair value of each reporting unit, as well as the fair value of the assets and liabilities of each reporting


40

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
unit, other than goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined as the difference between the fair value of a reporting unit, taken as a whole, and the fair value of the assets and liabilities of such reporting unit.
 
As a result of the deteriorating macro-economic environment, the continued market volatility and the Company’s decreased market capitalization, the Company assessed the recoverability of its goodwill carrying value as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (SFAS 142). In accordance with SFAS 142, a two-step process was used to test goodwill impairment. The first step was to determine if there is an indication of impairment by comparing the estimated fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value including goodwill. Goodwill is considered impaired if the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds the estimated fair value. Upon indication of impairment, a second step is performed to determine the amount of the impairment by comparing the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill with its carrying value. As a result of the assessment, the Company recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $5,658, primarily related to its Japan reporting unit during the third quarter of fiscal year 2009.
 
Other intangible assets include patents, trademarks and engineering drawings, which are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, generally 15 to 30 years. Amortization expense amounted to $1,427, $1,182 and $844 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
 
Income Taxes.  Deferred taxes are determined under the asset and liability approach. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized on differences between the book and tax basis of assets and liabilities using presently enacted tax rates. Further, deferred tax assets are recognized for the expected benefits of available net operating loss carryforwards, capital loss carryforwards and foreign tax credit carryforwards. Valuation allowances are recognized to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that will more likely than not be realized. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, management considers all available evidence including past operating results, estimates of future taxable income and the feasibility of ongoing tax planning strategies. When the Company changes its determination as to the amount of deferred tax assets that can be realized, the valuation allowance is adjusted with a corresponding impact to income tax expense in the period in which such determination is made.
 
Fair Value Disclosure of Financial Instruments.  The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, short-term securities, accounts receivable, notes receivable, marketable securities, capital lease obligations, accounts payable, notes payable, other short and long-term borrowings, and derivative financial instruments. The carrying amount of the short term instruments approximates fair market value due to their short term nature. The carrying amount of marketable securities approximates market value based on quoted market prices. The carrying amount of long term borrowings and capital lease obligations approximates fair value as their interest rate is current market rate.
 
Fair Value Measurements.  Effective July 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”) which establishes a framework for fair value and expands disclosures about financial instruments.
 
SFAS 157 requires the use of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Observable inputs consist of market data obtained from independent sources while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own market assumptions. These inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:
 
  •  Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
 
  •  Level 2 — Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities or all other inputs that are observable
 
  •  Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data which require the Company to develop its own assumptions


41


Table of Contents

 
BALDWIN TECHNOLOGY COMPANY, INC.
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
 
If the inputs used to measure the fair value of a financial instrument fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the financial instrument is categorized based upon the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
 
Whenever possible, the Company uses quoted market prices to determine fair value. In the absence of quoted market prices, the Company uses independent sources and data to determine fair value.
 
At June 30, 2009, the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, consistent with the fair value hierarchy provisions of SFAS 157, and valued as Level 1 are comprised of Marketable Securities of $523. At June 30, 2009, the Company did not have any assets or liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) in the Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
Warranty.  The Company’s standard contractual warranty provisions are to repair or replace, at the Company’s option, a product that is proven to be defective. The Company estimates its warranty costs as a percentage of revenues on a product-by-product basis, based on actual historical experience within the Company. Hence, the Company accrues estimated warranty costs at the time of sale and is included in “Cost of goods sold”. In addition, should the Company become aware of a specific potential warranty claim, a specific charge is recorded and accounted for separately from the percent of revenue discussed above. The Company has accrued estimated future warranty and customer support obligations of $2,626 and $5,421 at June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, which are included in “Other accounts payable and accrued liabilities” (see Note 19).
 
Revenue Recognition.  The Company’s products are sold with terms and conditions that vary depending on the nature of the product sold and the cultural and business environments in which the Company operates.
 
The Company recognizes revenue based on the type of product sold and the obligations under the contract. Revenue is recognized on contracts for design, manufacture and delivery of equipment without installation (equipment sales) and parts, service and consumables at the time of transfer of title or rendering of services. The Company considers revenue realized on equipment sales when it has persuasive evidence of an arrangement, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. In contracts that include additional services, including installation, start-up and/or commissioning (system sales), the Company recognizes revenue on each element of the contract as appropriate. Installation services are provided to the customer on an as-needed basis and may be contracted for separately or included in the same contract as the equipment sale. Revenue is recognized for installation services at the completion of the contractually required services.
 
Contracts for system sales may include multiple-element revenue arrangements. When the Company enters into multiple-element revenue arrangements, which may include installation services as a contractual element, along with the purchase price of the product as a contractual element, the arrangement is separated into its stand-alone elements for revenue recognition purposes. When the delivered item has value to the customer on a stand alone basis, there is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered item and the arrangement does not include a general right of return, revenue is recognized on each element as separate units of accounting. If these criteria are not met, the arrangement is accounted for as one unit of accounting which would result in revenue being deferred until the last undelivered contractual element is fulfilled.
 
Standard payment terms may include a deposit to be received with the customer order, progress payments until equipment is shipped and a portion of the balance due within a set number of days following shipment. In those cases when the Company renders invoices prior to performance of the service, the Company records deferred revenue until completion of the services, whereupon revenue is fully recognized.
 
Freight terms are generally FOB shipping dock with risk of loss passing to the purchaser at the time of shipment. If a loss should occur in transit, the Company is not responsible for, and does not administer insurance claims unless the terms are FOB destination. The customer is not contractually eligible for any refund of the

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
purchase price or right of return of the contracted product, unless the product fails to meet published product specifications and the Company fails to perform its obligations under product warranty terms.
 
The terms of sale are generally on a purchase order basis, which may contain formal product acceptance clauses. Occasionally, clauses may be included in a contract or purchase order that require acceptance related to certain specifications as outlined in the contract or purchase order. In these instances, the nature of the acceptance is evaluated to ensure that the Company has met the applicable criteria concurrent with the shipment of equipment to the customer.
 
The Company sometimes uses distributors to assist in the sales function. In these cases, the Company does not recognize revenue until title for the equipment and risk of loss have passed to the ultimate customer, who then becomes obligated to pay with no right of return. In addition, the Company reviews all alliance agreements to determine whether revenue should be recognized on a gross or net basis and recognizes revenue as appropriate.
 
Shipping and Handling, Advertising.  Costs related to shipping and handling are included in cost of goods sold in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Company expenses advertising costs when incurred. Advertising expense was $147, $222 and $275 for fiscal years ended June 30, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
 
Deferred Financing Costs.  The Company capitalizes costs associated with the issuance of debt, including bank, legal, investment advisor and accounting fees and other expenses. Deferred financing costs are amortized on a straight line basis over the term of the related financing transaction and are included in interest expense.
 
Engineering and Development.  Engineering and development (including research) costs are expensed as incurred.
 
Earnings Per Share.  Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is similar to basic earnings per share except that it reflects the potential dilution that could occur if dilutive securities, such as stock options, were exercised or converted into common shares or resulted in the issuance of common shares.
 
Comprehensive Income (Loss).  As shown in the Statement of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity, comprehensive income (loss) is a measure of net income (loss) and all other changes in equity of the Company that result from recognized transactions and other events of the period other than transactions with shareholders.
 
Use of Estimates.  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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. The most significant assumptions and estimates relate to the determination of accrued expenses including warranty, accounts receivable and inventory valuations, revenue recognition, useful lives of assets, deferred tax asset valuations, stock option valuation, and goodwill and intangibles. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements.
 
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codificationtm and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS 168”). SFAS 168 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codificationtm (“Codification” or “ASC”) as the sole source of authoritative GAAP recognized by the FASB for nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases issued by the SEC under federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. SFAS 168 is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009 (effective September 30, 2009 for the Company). The Company does not believe that the adoption of SFAS 168 will have a material effect on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), and (“SFAS 167”). SFAS 167 amends FIN 46(R) and changes the consolidation guidance applicable to a variable interest entity (“VIE”). It also amends the guidance governing the determination of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, and is, therefore, required to consolidate an entity, by requiring a qualitative analysis rather than a quantitative analysis. The qualitative analysis will include, among other things, consideration of which enterprise has the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and which enterprise has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. This standard also requires continuous reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. Previously, FIN 46(R) required reconsideration of whether an enterprise was the primary beneficiary of a VIE only when specific events had occurred. Qualifying special purpose entities (“QSPEs”), which were previously exempt from the application of this standard, will be subject to the provisions of this standard when it becomes effective. SFAS 167 also requires enhanced disclosures about an enterprise’s involvement with a VIE. SFAS 167 is effective as of the beginning of the Company’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009 (effective July 1, 2010 for the Company). The Company does not believe that adoption of SFAS No. 167 will have an impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
In June 2009, the FASB approved EITF No. 09-1, “Accounting for Own-Share Lending Arrangements in Contemplation of Convertible Debt Issuance” (“EITF 09-1”), which clarifies that share lending arrangements that are executed in connection with convertible debt offerings or other financings should be considered debt issuance costs and amortized using the effective interest method over the life of the financing arrangement as interest cost. In addition, EITF 09-1 states that the loaned shares should be excluded from basic and diluted earnings per share unless default of the share-lending arrangement occurs, at which time the loaned shares would be included in the common and diluted earnings per share calculation. EITF 09-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2009 (effective July 1, 2010 for the Company), and retrospective application is required for all periods presented. The Company does not believe that EITF 09-1 will have a material effect on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
In June 2009, the Company adopted SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events” (“SFAS 165”), to incorporate the accounting and disclosure requirements for subsequent events into U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Prior to the issuance of the Statement, these requirements were included in the auditing standards in AICPA AU section 560, “Subsequent Events.” SFAS 165 introduces new terminology, defines a date through which management must evaluate subsequent events, and lists the circumstances under which an entity must recognize and disclose events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date. It is effective prospectively for interim or annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009 (See Note 21) to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments” (“FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2”), to make the guidance on other-than-temporary impairments of debt securities more operational and improve the financial statement disclosures related to other-than-temporary impairments for debt and equity securities. If the fair value of a debt security is below its amortized cost and the entity intends to sell the security or it is more likely than not that the entity will sell the security before recovery of the cost basis, an other-than-temporary impairment exists. The entire impairment is recognized in earnings. If it is more likely than not that the entity will not sell the security before recovery of the cost basis but it is probable the entity will be unable to collect all amounts due under the contractual terms of the security, an other-than-temporary impairment exists. The amount of the impairment related to credit losses is recognized in earnings with the amount of the impairment due to other factors recognized in other comprehensive income. FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 are effective for annual and interim periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted the provisions of FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 in June 2009 and it did not have a material effect on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) FAS 107-1 and Accounting Principles Board Opinions (“APB”) 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” (“FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1”), to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of public entities. An entity is required to disclose the methods and assumptions used in estimating fair value. FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 are effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted the provisions of FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 in June 2009 and it did not have a material effect on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
In December 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 132R-1, “Employers’ Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets,” to require employers to provide more transparency about the assets in their postretirement benefit plans, including defined benefit pension plans. FSP FAS 132R-1 requires employers to consider various objectives in providing more detailed disclosures about plan assets. The disclosure required by the FSP is required for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009. The Company intends to adopt FSP FAS 132R-1 effective for fiscal years ending on and after June 30, 2010 and does not expect the adoption to have a material effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
In December 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 140-4 and FIN 46(R)-8, “Disclosures by Public Entities (Enterprises) About Transfers of Financial Assets and Interest in Variable Interest Entities” (“FSP FAS 140-4 and FIN 46(R)-8”). FSP FAS 140-4 and FIN 46(R)-8 require enhanced disclosures regarding the transfer of financial assets and variable interest entities. The adoption of FSP 140-4 and FIN 46(R)-8 did not have a material effect on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
In November 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ratified a consensus opinion reached by the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) on EITF Issue 08-7, “Accounting for Defensive Intangible Assets,” to clarify how to account for defensive intangible assets subsequent to initial measurement. This issue applies to acquired intangible assets, except for those used in research and development activities that an entity does not intend to actively use but intends to hold to prevent others from using. The consensus requires that intangible assets within the scope of Issue 08-7 be accounted for as separate units of accounting and assigned useful lives reflecting the period over which they diminish in fair value. EITF Issue 08-7 is effective for intangible assets acquired on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008, consistent with the effective date of FASB Statement 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations. The Company intends to begin applying the provisions of EITF Issue 08-7 to defensive intangible assets acquired on July 1, 2009. The Company does not believe the adoption of EITF Issue 08-7 will have a significant effect on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
In November 2008, the FASB approved EITF 08-6, “Equity Method Investment Accounting Considerations.” EITF 08-6 clarifies the accounting for certain transactions and impairment considerations involving equity method investments. EITF 08-6 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, with early adoption prohibited (effective July 1, 2009 for the Company). The Company does not believe that EITF 08-6 will have a material effect on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
In July 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective of SFAS 159 is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently. The adoption of SFAS 159 did not have a material effect on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
In June 2008, the FASB approved EITF Issue No. 07-5, “Determining Whether an Instrument (or an Embedded Feature) is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock.” EITF 07-5 provides guidance for determining whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to an entity’s own stock and thus meets one of the scope exceptions for derivative accounting under SFAS 133. The determination is a two step process which requires the evaluation of the instrument’s contingent exercise provisions and the instrument’s settlement provisions.

EITF 07-5 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 (effective July 1, 2009 for the Company). The Company does not believe that EITF 07-5 will have a material effect on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
In June 2008, the FASB issued FSP EITF 03-6-1 “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions are Participating Securities” (“FSP EITF 03-6-1”), which clarified that all outstanding unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to nonforfeitable dividends participate in undistributed earnings with common shareholders. Awards of this nature are considered participating securities and the two-class method of computing basic and diluted earnings per share must be applied. FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 (effective July 1, 2009 for the Company). The Company is currently evaluating the requirements of FSP EITF 03-6-1 and has not yet determined the impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
In May 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. APB 14-1, “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash Upon Conversion.” The FSP applies to convertible debt instruments that give the issuer the choice of settling the instrument on conversion either (a) entirely in cash or other assets or (b) partially in shares and partially in cash or other assets. The FSP requires issuers to account separately for the liability and equity components of convertible debt instruments that have stated terms permitting settlement on conversion in cash or other assets, with one exception-the accounting does not apply if the embedded conversion option must be accounted for separately as a derivative under SFAS 133. Convertible preferred shares accounted for in equity or temporary equity would also not be subject to the FSP. The FSP is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years (effective July 1, 2009 for the Company). When effective, FSP APB 14-1 will be applied retrospectively to all periods presented in the financial statements. The cumulative effect of the accounting change on periods before those presented would be recognized as of the beginning of the first period presented, with an offsetting adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings for that period, which would be presented separately. The Company does not believe that adoption of FSP No. APB 14-1 will have an impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures About Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“SFAS 161”), which requires enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, as amended, and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 161 during the third quarter of the current fiscal year and it did not have a material effect on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations,” (“SFAS 141(R)”) which retains the fundamental requirements in Statement 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (which Statement 141 called the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. SFAS 141(R) requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date, with limited exceptions. SFAS 141(R) retains the guidance in Statement 141 for identifying and recognizing intangible assets separately from goodwill and applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008 (effective July 1, 2009 for the Company). An entity may not apply SFAS 141(R) before that date. The impact of this Statement will be determined if and when an acquisition occurs.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — An Amendment of ARB No. 51 (“SFAS 160”).” SFAS 160 establishes new accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Specifically, this statement requires the recognition of a noncontrolling interest (minority interest) as equity in the Consolidated

Financial Statements and separate from the parent’s equity. The amount of net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest will be included in consolidated net income on the face of the income statement. SFAS 160 clarifies that changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in deconsolidation are equity transactions if the parent retains its controlling financial interest. In addition, this statement requires that a parent recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. Such gain or loss will be measured using the fair value of the noncontrolling equity investment on the deconsolidation date. SFAS 160 also includes expanded disclosure requirements regarding the interests of the parent and its noncontrolling interest. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008 (effective July 1, 2009 for the Company). Earlier adoption is prohibited. The Company does not believe that the adoption of SFAS 160 will have a material effect on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
In December 2007, the FASB ratified a consensus opinion reached by the EITF Issue No. 07-1, “Accounting for Collaborative Arrangements” (“EITF Issue 07-1”), which defines a collaborative arrangement as a contractual arrangement in which the parties are active participants in the arrangement and are exposed to significant risks and rewards that are dependent on the ultimate commercial success of the endeavor. Whether an arrangement is a collaborative arrangement would be determined at the inception of the arrangement and would be reconsidered when facts and circumstances indicate a change in either a participant’s role in the arrangement or its exposure to significant risks and rewards. Participants in a collaborative arrangement would be required to make certain disclosures in their annual financial statements about the nature and purpose of the arrangement and amounts reported in the income statement. The consensus in EITF Issue 07-1 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2008 (effective July 1, 2009 for the Company). The Company does not believe that the adoption of EITF Issue 07-1 will have a material effect on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”), which defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value. SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements, but provides guidance on how to measure fair value by providing a fair value hierarchy used to classify the source of the information. In February 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-1, “Application of FASB Statement No. 157 to FASB Statement No. 13 and Other Accounting Pronouncements That Address Fair Value Measurements for Purposes of Lease Classification or Measurement under Statement 13,” (“FSP FAS 157-1”) which amends SFAS 157 to exclude SFAS No. 13 “Accounting for Leases” (“SFAS 13”), and other accounting pronouncements that address fair value measurements for purposes of lease classification or measurement under SFAS 13. In February 2008, the FASB issued FSP 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157”, which defers the effective date of SFAS 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except for items that are recognized at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). In October, 2008 the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-3, “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active” (“FSP FAS 157-3”), which applies to financial assets subject to the fair value accounting requirements of SFAS 157 and clarifies the application of SFAS 157’s valuation requirements to a financial asset in a market that is not active. FSP FAS 157-3 was effective upon issuance, including for prior periods if financial statements had not yet been issued. In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” (“FSP FAS 157-4”), to provide additional guidance on estimating fair value when the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability have significantly decreased. FSP FAS 157-4 also includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. FSP FAS 157-4 emphasizes that, regardless of whether the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability have decreased significantly and regardless of which valuation technique was used, the objective of a fair value measurement under FASB Statement 157, Fair Value Measurements, remains the same — to estimate the price that would be received to sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. If it is determined that the activity for an asset or liability has significantly decreased, the quoted market price may not be fair value and the entity must perform additional analysis to determine fair value. This analysis may include the use

of valuation techniques other than quoted market prices. If it is determined that a transaction for an asset or liability was not orderly, an entity should place little weight on that transaction when determining fair value. FSP FAS 157-4 is effective for annual and interim periods ending after June 15, 2009 and must be applied prospectively. On July 1, 2008 the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 157 and related FSP’s as it applies to financial assets and liabilities, and it did not have a material effect on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

Note 7 — Change in Method of Accounting for Inventory Valuation:
 
On June 30, 2009, the Company elected to change its method of valuing certain of its domestic inventory to the FIFO method, whereas in prior years certain domestic inventory was valued using the LIFO method. The new method was adopted as it provides for a more consistent matching of expenses with revenues currently and in the foreseeable future and provides a consistent inventory methodology across the Company as inventory held in foreign locations and certain inventory in domestic locations currently and historically have been valued using the FIFO method. Comparative financial statements of prior years have been adjusted to apply the new method retrospectively.
 
The following financial statement line items for fiscal years 2008 and 2007 were affected by the change in accounting principle.

The maximum amount of bank loans payable outstanding during the year ended June 30, 2009 was $4,452 ($4,576 in 2008). Average interest rates are weighted by month and reflect the monthly amount of short-term borrowing in use and the respective rates of interest thereon. The majority of the loans are uncollateralized; however, certain of these loans are collateralized by the current assets associated with the foreign subsidiaries where the loans are drawn.

(a) The Company’s primary source of external financing is the Company’s credit agreement and its amendments (“the Credit Agreement”) with LaSalle Bank National Association (“LaSalle”), which was subsequently acquired by and will be referred to hereinafter as Bank of America (“BofA”). During the third quarter of fiscal year 2009 the Company was not in compliance with certain provisions of its credit agreement. The restructuring charges, goodwill impairment charge and additional inventory/accounts receivable reserve recorded during the third quarter, would have caused the Company’s trailing twelve month reported EBITDA to decrease to a level lower than the minimum level required by the Company’s credit agreement with Bank of America. On March 31, 2009, the Company entered into a Modification and Limited Waiver Agreement (the “Waiver Agreement”) with Bank of America as Lender and as Administrative Agent, and certain other Lenders. The Company and its lenders entered into the Waiver Agreement covering the period from March 31, 2009 through May 15, 2009, which period on May 15, 2009 was extended through July 31, 2009. The Waiver Agreement modified the Credit Agreement as follows: (i) increased the applicable margin rates 2.5% during the waiver period, (ii) reduced the amount of revolving credit available from $35,000 to $17,100. and (iii) enhanced the banks collateral position. On July 31, 2009, the Company successfully concluded an amendment to its Credit Agreement. The amendment modified the Credit Agreement as follows: (i) euro borrowings bear interest at LIBOR plus 4.5%, or in the case of U.S. dollar loans, at the prime rate plus 3.00%, (ii) reduced the amount of revolving commitment from $35,000 to $25,000 provided that the aggregate of all revolving loans outstanding plus $7,900 not exceed $25,000 and (iii) increased collateral. The Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain certain minimum net worth and leverage ratios and as amended and as amended on July 31, 2009 certain sales, capital expenditures and minimum liquidity levels. As a result of the July 31, 2009 amendment, the Company has classified an appropriate portion of its debt as long term. At June 30, 2008, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement in the U.S. are secured by substantially all domestic assets (approximately$20,000) and in Europe by a pledge of European subsidiary stock and assets and certain Asian subsiding stock. The Company incurred cash costs of approximately $1,168 associated with the July 31, 2009 amendment. Certain of these costs, along with legacy deferred financing costs, are required to be charged to expense and the Company will record a charge of approximately $1,177 during the first quarter of fiscal year 2010. Certain of these costs coupled with legacy deferred financing costs, totaling approximately $1,231, will be amortized over the remaining term of the amended agreement.

Deferred income taxes are provided on temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities. The principal temporary differences which give rise to deferred tax assets and liabilities at June 30, 2009 and 2008 are as follows:

At June 30, 2009, net operating loss carryforwards of $50,918 may be available to reduce future foreign taxable income. The majority of the Company’s foreign net operating loss (“NOL”) carry-forwards have an indefinite carry-forward period. In addition, as of June 30, 2009, the Company has indefinite foreign capital loss carry-forwards available in the amount of $645.
 
The Company establishes valuation allowances in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” The change in the valuation allowance for the period ended June 30, 2009 primarily reflects changes in deferred tax assets on which there was valuation allowance.
 
The Company has not had to provide for income taxes on $19,726 of cumulative undistributed earnings of subsidiaries outside the United States because of the Company’s intention to indefinitely reinvest those earnings.
 
At the beginning of the first quarter of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, the Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48. Upon adoption of FIN 48, the Company recognized an increase of $2,418 in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits, which was accounted for as a decrease to the beginning balance of retained earnings. As of the date of adoption, and after the impact of recognizing the decrease in liability noted above, the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits totaled $4,617, including $2,719 of unrecognized tax benefits which, if recognized, would reduce the annual effective income tax rate. On June 30, 2009, the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits totaled $4,999, including $3,101 of unrecognized tax benefits which, if recognized, would reduce the annual effective income tax rate.
 
Where applicable, the Company recognizes potential accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits from its global operations in income tax expense. During the fiscal years ending June 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company accrued $39 and $16, respectively, in potential interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions. In conjunction with the adoption of FIN 48, the Company recognized $194 of interest and penalties. To the extent interest and penalties are accrued in the Company’s income tax expense, such amounts, if reversed, will reduce the effective income tax rate.

The Company is subject to ongoing tax examinations and assessments in such major jurisdictions as the U.S., Germany, Sweden and Japan. The earliest year for which the Company or its affiliates are subject to examination by tax authorities is the tax year 2000. The Company does not expect there will be any significant changes in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months.

Note 11 — Common Stock:
 
Except with respect to the election or removal of Directors, and certain other matters with respect to which Delaware law requires each class to vote as a separate class, the holders of the Company’s Class A Common Stock (“Class A”) and Class B Common Stock (“Class B”) vote as a single class on all matters, with each share of Class A having one vote per share and each share of Class B having ten votes per share.
 
With respect to the election of Directors, the holders of Class A, voting as a separate class, are entitled to elect 25% of the total number of Directors (or the nearest higher whole number) constituting the entire Board of Directors. The holders of Class B, voting as a separate class, are entitled to elect the remaining Directors, so long as the number of outstanding shares of Class B 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 meeting of stockholders. If the number of outstanding shares of Class B 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 meeting of stockholders, the remaining directors are elected by the holders of both classes of Common Stock voting together as a single class, with the holders of Class A having one vote per share and the

holders of Class B having ten votes per share. As of June 30, 2009, the number of outstanding shares of Class B constituted approximately 7.3% of the total number of outstanding shares of both classes of Common Stock.
 
Class A has no conversion rights; however, shares of Class B are convertible into shares of Class A on a one-for-one basis. In addition, no dividend in cash or property may be declared or paid on shares of Class B without a dividend being declared or paid on shares of Class A of at least 105% of the dividend declared or paid on shares of the shares of Class B.
 
In November 1999, the Company initiated its most recent stock repurchase program. Under the program, the Company is authorized to utilize up to $5,000 to repurchase Class A shares. As of June 30, 2009, 1,192,760 shares of Class A had been repurchased for $2,638. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 a total of 85,365 shares of Class A were repurchased for $157. Repurchases are restricted under the terms of the Credit Agreement, as amended, on July 31, 2009.
 
Note 12 — Stock Based Compensation:
 
Stock based incentive awards are provided under the terms of the Company’s plans:
 
The 1996 Stock Option Plan, as amended and restated (the “1996 Plan”) allows for the granting, at fair market value on the date of grant, of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, and tandem SARS to employees and Eligible Directors for up to a total of 1,875,000 shares of Class A. All options became exercisable in three equal annual installments commencing on the second anniversary of the date of grant. Unexercised options terminate no later than ten years from the date of grant. The 1996 Plan terminated on November 18, 2006; however, outstanding options under the 1996 Plan continue to be subject to the terms thereof.
 
The 1998 Non-Employee Directors’ Stock Option Plan provided for the granting, at fair market value on the date of grant, of options to Eligible Directors to purchase up to an aggregate of 250,000 shares of Class A. Under the 1998 Plan, each year, each Eligible Director received a grant of options to purchase 3,000 shares of Class A. The options vested one-third per year on each succeeding anniversary of the date of grant. Unexercised options terminate no later than ten years from the date of grant. The 1998 Plan was terminated on November 21, 2002; however, outstanding options under the 1998 Plan will continue to be subject to the terms thereof.
 
The 2005 Equity Compensation Plan (the “2005 Plan”) was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors in October 2005 and by its stockholders in November 2005. The 2005 Plan was amended in August 2008 to increase by 1,000,000 shares the number of shares of Class A Common Stock that may be subject to awards outstanding under the 2005 Plan from 1,200,000 to 2,200,000. This amendment was approved by shareholders on November 11, 2008. The 2005 Plan provides for the granting of a variety of awards to the Company’s employees, Eligible Directors and others who provide services to the Company, including stock-based incentives and cash-based incentives. The maximum aggregate number of shares that may be delivered to participants or their beneficiaries pursuant to all awards granted under the 2005 Plan is now 2,200,000. During fiscal year 2009, an aggregate of 301,500 shares were granted as restricted stock/units and stock options under the 2005 Plan. Canceled awards during fiscal year 2009 totaled 48,500, and will become available for future grants. Unless otherwise set forth in an award agreement, awards granted as an option to purchase shares shall vest in three equal annual installments commencing on the second anniversary of the date of such grant. Awards granted as restricted stock/units have restrictions that generally lapse in three equal annual installments commencing on the first anniversary of the date of such award.
 
At June 30, 2009, the aggregate number of shares available for future grants under all the Company’s share-based compensation plans is 1,179,886.
 
Compensation expense recorded for all of the Company’s share-based compensation plans for the fiscal years, 2009, 2008 and 2007 was $1,092, $1,031 and $782, respectively. The tax benefit related to this compensation expense for the fiscal years 2009, 2008 and 2007 was $373, $336 and $135, respectively.

Total unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested stock option awards at June 30, 2009 is $372 and is expected to be recognized over the weighted average period of approximately 2.2 years.
 
The Company estimates the fair value of stock options at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes valuation model, consistent with the provisions of SFAS 123(R) and Staff Accounting Bulletin 107 (SAB 107). Key inputs and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock options include the grant price of the award, the expected option term, volatility of the Company’s stock, the risk free rate and the Company’s dividend yield.
 
The following table presents the weighted average assumptions used for options granted.

(1) The option term is the number of years that the Company estimates, based on history, that options will be outstanding prior to exercise.
 
(2) Prior to fiscal 2006, expected volatility was based on historical volatilities over the expected terms. With the adoption of SFAS 123(R) the Company continues to determine expected volatility based on historical volatilities but has incorporated adjustments associated with an unusually volatile period from its mean-reversion analysis for fiscal years commencing with 2006.
 
Restricted Stock
 
During the years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company issued restricted stock shares/units. Awards granted as restricted stock/units have restrictions that generally lapse in three equal annual installments commencing on the first anniversary of the date of such award. Compensation expense of $884 and $754 was recognized during the period ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The aggregate unrecognized compensation costs related to the non-vested restricted grants at June 30, 2009 was $1,272 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.7 years.

Long Term Incentive Performance Share Awards
 
During fiscal year 2009, the Company issued 43,333 long term incentive performance share awards (“PSAs”). PSAs are stock awards where the number of shares ultimately received by the employee depends on the Company’s performance against specified targets and typically vest during a three-year period. The fair value of each PSA is determined on the grant date, based on the Company’s stock price. Over the performance period, the number of shares of stock that will be issued and the associated compensation expense is adjusted upward or downward based upon the probability of achievement of performance targets. The ultimate number of shares issued and the related compensation cost recognized as expense will be based on a comparison of the final performance metrics to the specified targets. The fair value of PSAs granted during the year ended June 30, 2009, was $87. Total fair value of PSAs vested and compensation expense during the year ended June 30, 2009 was $0, based on the current assessment of the probability of achievement.

In Germany, there is one pension plan covering one former employee, and the Company’s Japanese subsidiary maintains a retirement plan covering all of its employees. These defined benefit plans provide for benefits, at maturity age, in lump sum payments on retirement or death or as a disability pension in case of disability. The fair value of 100% of plan assets are represented by insurance contracts and the expected return on plan assets is determined based on the expected long term rate of return on plan assets. The Company also has a non-qualified Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP). The SERP provides benefits to eligible executives, based on average earnings, years of service and age at retirement or separation of employment. The Company has established a Rabbi Trust to provide a potential source of funds to pay benefits under the SERP. The amount held in trust at June 30, 2009 and 2008 was $1,156 and $1,351, respectively. The Company uses a measurement date of June 30 for its defined benefits plans.

Note 15 — Acquisitions:
 
On November 21, 2006, the Company completed the acquisition of Oxy-Dry Corporation (“Oxy-Dry”), a producer of accessories and controls for the printing industry. The acquisition strengthens the Company’s presence in its core market of accessories and controls by affording it the ability to provide a broader range of product offerings to its customers. The Company and sellers agreed on the finalization of the purchase price in accordance with the stock purchase agreement during the quarter ended June 30, 2009. Aggregate consideration paid, in cash, to the holders of all outstanding shares of MTC Trading Company (“MTC”), which owned all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Oxy-Dry, consisted of a purchase price of approximately $17,483 working capital and other contract related adjustments of $2,045, subject to post closing adjustments, and $1,692 in fees and expenses.
 
The table below represents the final allocation of the total consideration to the Oxy-Dry tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities based on the Company’s assessment of their respective fair values as of the date of acquisition.

(a) Reflects adjustment to original purchase price allocation ($860) primarily due to warranty related issues.
 
(b) Reflects adjustment to original purchase price allocation primarily for additional accrued expenses (primarily warranty $860), additional capitalized transaction costs ($298), and finalization of purchase price ($164).
 
Identifiable intangibles acquired include product technology, $4,499 (15 year life), trade name $1,645 (30 year life), customer relationships $528 (13 year life), and non-compete agreements $73 (5 year life). Additionally, there is no amount of tax deductible goodwill.
 
On December 20, 2006, the Company committed to the principal features of a plan to restructure and integrate the operations of MTC and its wholly-owned subsidiary Oxy-Dry. The objective was to achieve operational efficiencies and eliminate redundant costs resulting from the acquisition as well as to achieve greater efficiency in sales, marketing, administrative and operational activities, primarily in Germany, the United States and the United Kingdom. In particular, parts of the U.S. and U.K. plan involved the consolidation of the former Oxy-Dry leased locations into existing Company locations, and the elimination of redundant manufacturing and support personnel. In Germany, the plan consisted of the consolidation and elimination of support functions while maintaining the former Oxy-Dry manufacturing location. The actions under the plan commenced during December 2006 and were substantially complete by the end of fiscal year 2007. The liabilities recognized in connection with the acquisition include $2,300 of employee termination and associated costs and $700 of facilities and other one-time costs included in other accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The results of the acquisition of Oxy-Dry have been included in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements since the date of acquisition.
 
On April 10, 2007, the Company completed the acquisition of Hildebrand Systeme GmbH (“Hildebrand”), a leader in the field of high performance web cleaning systems. Aggregate consideration paid at closing consisted of a purchase price of approximately $2,290 and $214 in fees and expenses. Identifiable intangibles acquired include product technology $939 (15 year life), customer relationships $105 (12 year life) and non-compete agreements $20 (5 year life). Acquired fair value of the net assets acquired was $1,082 and goodwill was $1,422. The results of the acquisition of Hildebrand have been included in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements since the date of acquisition.
 
The following unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information reflects the results of operations, including Oxy-Dry, for the twelve months ended June 30, 2007 as if the acquisition had occurred at the beginning of the period, after giving effect to certain purchase accounting adjustments, including assumed amortization of acquired intangibles and higher interest expense due to the higher debt level. Hildebrand is excluded from the pro forma presentation as it is not material. These pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of what the Company’s operating results would have been had the acquisition actually taken place at the beginning of the period.

Note 19 — Warranty Costs:
 
The Company’s standard contractual warranty provisions are to repair or replace product that is proven to be defective. The Company estimates its warranty costs as a percentage of revenues on a product by product basis, based on actual historical experience within the Company. Hence, the Company accrues estimated warranty costs, reported in “other accounts payable and accrued liabilities”, at the time of sale. In addition, should the Company become aware of a specific potential warranty claim, a specific charge is recorded and accounted for separate from the percent of revenue discussed above.

Note 20 — Legal Proceedings:
 
Baldwin is involved in various legal proceedings from time to time, including actions with respect to commercial, intellectual property and employment matters. The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses against the claims currently asserted against it and intends to defend them vigorously. However, the outcome of litigation is inherently uncertain, and the Company cannot be sure that it will prevail in any of the cases currently in litigation. The Company believes that the ultimate outcome of any such cases will not have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows; however, there can be no assurances that an adverse determination would not have a material adverse effect on the Company.
 
On November 14, 2002, the Dusseldorf Higher Regional Court (“DHRC”) announced its judgment in favor of Baldwin in a patent infringement dispute against its competitor, technotrans AG (“Technotrans”) with the stipulation that its ruling could not be appealed (a “non-admittance”). Technotrans nonetheless filed a request to appeal the DHRC ruling with the German Federal Supreme Court in Karlsruhe. Technotrans also filed to revoke the Company’s patent with the Federal Patent Court in Munich, Germany. On July 21, 2004, the German Federal Patent Court upheld the validity of the Company’s patent. Technotrans appealed that judgment to the German Federal Supreme Court in Karlsruhe. On April 22, 2009 the German Federal Supreme Court rendered a final decision, upholding Baldwin’s patent.
 
On May 18, 2005, Baldwin Germany GmbH of Augsburg, Germany, a subsidiary of the Company, filed suit in the Regional Court of Dusseldorf, Germany against Technotrans, claiming damages of 32,672,592 Euro (approximately $46,000,000 at the prevailing exchange rate) as a result of the patent infringement described in the preceding paragraph. The Dusseldorf Court suspended proceedings in the damages claim until such time as a decision is reached by the German Supreme Court in Karlsruhe on the appeal of the DHRC decision. The Supreme Court has not yet ruled on the non-admittance action, which is expected to occur some time in 2010. No amounts have been recorded in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements with regard to the potential contingent gain from the damages claim. The parties have reached a settlement as of September 24, 2009 (See Note 21 — Subsequent Events).

Note 21: — Subsequent Events:
 
The Company evaluated its June 30, 2009 financial statements for subsequent events through September 28, 2009, the date the financial statements were available to be issued. Other than the agreements noted below, the Company is not aware of any subsequent events which would require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. On July 31, 2009, the Company entered into an amendment to its Credit Agreement with Bank of America as more specifically set forth in Note 9.
 
As a result of signing the amendment, the Company has classified the appropriate portion of its indebtedness as a long-term liability on the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2009.
 
On September 24, 2009 the Company and technotrans agreed to an out-of-court settlement to terminate the proceedings that have been continuing for a number of years in connection with the infringement of a Baldwin patent (See Note 20 — Legal Proceedings). Under the agreement, technotrans is to pay an amount of Euro 6.5 million (approximately $9.6 million) in compensation to Baldwin. In return, Baldwin undertakes to declare the proceedings before the Dusseldorf district court in respect of the amount as settled.

Item 9.   Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
 
Information regarding the Company’s change in accountants during fiscal year 2007 is incorporated herein by reference to Item 4.01 of Form 8-K filed on November 20, 2006 and Form 8-K filed on November 28, 2006. There were no disagreements related to the change in accountants.
 
Item 9A.   Controls and Procedures
 
(a)   Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
 
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company’s management, with participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this annual report on Form 10-K. During this evaluation, management identified material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) related to an ineffective control environment in the Company’s operations in Lenexa, Kansas, as more fully described below. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this annual report on Form 10-K, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as a result of these material weaknesses.
 
(b)   Management’s report on internal control over financial reporting (as restated)
 
The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
Management has conducted its evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2009 based on the framework in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Management’s assessment included an evaluation of the design of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and testing the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. During this evaluation, management identified material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, as described below. Management has concluded that as a result of these material weaknesses, as of June 30, 2009, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective.

Table of Contents

A material weakness is a control deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, that result in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected
 
Subsequent to the Company’s publication of its earnings for the year ended June 30, 2009 on August 20, 2009, the Company discovered that certain shipments made by its Lenexa, Kansas facility prior to June 30, 2009 did not conform to its internal control policies and procedures. Certain shipments had been made that were not supported by properly documented orders from customers; certain shipments to third party locations were not supported by contemporaneous authorization from customers; and the timing of revenues recorded did not conform to the terms of the purchase orders for certain shipments.
 
An investigation commissioned by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors determined that as a result of these violations, the Company’s internal controls require remedial actions, and the unaudited financial statements included in the Company’s August 20, 2009 Earnings Release required adjustment. Adjustments have been recorded in the Company’s accounting records to reverse the amounts related to improperly recorded revenues, the majority of which will be recorded during the first quarter of fiscal year 2010, and to consider the effect on collectibility of certain accounts receivable. The table below sets forth a summary and reconciliation of the amounts reported in the Earnings Release and the adjusted amounts reported in the financial statements in this report on Form 10-K:

As a result of these violations of Company policy and circumvention of internal controls, the Company is terminating two members of the executive management of the Lenexa, Kansas operation and has arranged for experienced, qualified executives to assume the responsibilities of general manager and controller at that location. The Company will also recruit an internal auditor to regularly review the observance of the Company’s policies and procedures globally.
 
Management had previously concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2008, due to insufficient staffing of accounting personnel commensurate with the Company’s global financial reporting requirements and the complexity of the Company’s operations and transactions. The Company had remediated that material weakness by performing a comprehensive review of its

accounting resources and, as a result, hired experienced, skilled finance executives and increased the level of review and analysis of complex judgmental accounting matters.
 
(c)   Changes in internal control over financial reporting — Remediation Plan
 
As discussed above, the Company is terminating two members of the executive management of its Lenexa, Kansas operation and is engaging experienced, qualified executives to assume the responsibilities of general manager and controller for that location. The Company will also recruit an internal auditor to regularly review the observance of the Company’s policies, procedures and internal controls globally. Management will also provide additional training in the Company’s ethics and whistleblower policies, as well as the Company’s operating policies and procedures and internal controls, primarily in the areas related to revenue.
 
Management believes that the efforts described above, when fully implemented, will be effective in remediation of the material weaknesses identified in Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, as described above.

The performance criteria were set forth in the Company's most recent Strategic Plan as presented to the Board of Directors on June 9, 2008.

The Participant shall have no further right to any forfeited Performance Shares. 7. Tax Withholding: The Performance Shares shall be subject to the tax withholding provisions set forth in the Plan. By accepting this Performance Share award, the Participant agrees that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries may withhold from cash otherwise payable to the Participant in order to meet any applicable tax withholding obligations. 8.

The Committee shall have the authority to interpret and construe the Performance Shares pursuant to the terms of the Plan, and its decisions shall be conclusive as to any questions arising hereunder. The Committee shall administer the Plan and its decisions shall be final, conclusive, and binding on the Company and the Participant or any person claiming rights under the Plan from or through any Participant. 10.

Amendment. This Award Agreement may be amended or modified at any time by mutual agreement between the Committee and the Participant or such other persons as may then have an interest therein, subject to the terms of the Plan. 13. Section 409A. The Performance Shares provided under this Award Agreement are intended to qualify for the "short-term deferral" exception to Code section 409A. A copy of the Plan, and other materials required to be delivered or made available to the Participant, will be delivered or made available electronically, provided that upon request of the Participant, the Company will deliver to the Participant paper copies of such materials. By accepting the grant of the Performance Shares under this Award Agreement, the Participant hereby agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Award Agreement. The payment of any award hereunder is expressly conditioned upon the terms and conditions of this Award Agreement and the Plan and the Participant's compliance with such terms and conditions.

EX-10.11 3 y79461exv10w11.txt EX-10.11 EXHIBIT 10.11 BALDWIN TECHNOLOGY COMPANY, INC. FY 2010 MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN AS APPROVED AUGUST 2009 I OBJECTIVE The purpose of the Baldwin Technology Company, Inc. (the "Company" or "Baldwin") Management Incentive Compensation Plan ("MICP" or the "Plan") is to provide a financial incentive (bonus) to key Baldwin employees around the world to work together for the common good of the Company as the Company pursues its strategic business initiatives. II MICP CRITERIA AND IMPLEMENTATION A. The MICP is structured so that the formulas pay 50 percent (50%) of a participant's 100% Total Bonus Opportunity (100% TBO) upon attaining the budgeted Annual Operating Plan ("AOP") objectives. In order for a participant to exceed 50% of his/her 100% TBO, Baldwin must achieve results that exceed the budgeted AOP objectives. B. With the exception of the participants from Oxy-Dry Food Blends ("Food Blends"), each MICP participant's bonus opportunity will be based on Baldwin's total consolidated financial results. Food Blends will remain as a separate reporting entity for calculating MICP bonuses and they will continue to have their bonus based on 50% of Baldwin's consolidated financial results and 50% on the Food Blends financial results. C. There are seven bonus percentage classifications ranging from 7.5% to 50%. A participant is eligible to participate in the MICP as a target bonus percentage of his/her base salary in effect on July 1st of the fiscal year. This percentage, when multiplied by the participant's base salary is his/her 100% TBO. D. The total maximum bonus opportunity is capped at one hundred and fifty percent (150%) of the 100% TBO (1.5 times the 100% TBO). The 150% maximum bonus cap does not apply to each financial objective separately - one objective is capped at a level higher than 150% and one is capped at a level lower than 150%. However, the total maximum bonus opportunity cap of the two is 150%. E. The expense of the MICP bonuses to be paid will be included in the operating expenses when calculating whether or not the MICP objectives have been achieved and a bonus earned. F. There are two objectives for the MICP for both Baldwin and Food Blends participants. Payment of an MICP bonus will be based on achieving and exceeding these two objectives: 1. FY 2010 AOP Profit Before Tax (PBT) 2. FY 2010 AOP Cash Flow for the year (NOTE: Adjustment will be made to remove the effect of any accounting entries recorded during the 2010 fiscal year for items such as management fees, net restructuring charges, strategic acquisitions, other non-operating sources of expenses, income, etc. when comparing actual performance against AOP for the purpose of bonus calculations) G. The weighting of the two objectives will be seventy percent (70%) for the FY 2010 AOP PBT and thirty percent (30%) for the FY 2010 AOP Cash Flow. III COMPONENTS OF MICP BONUS OPPORTUNITY A. The AOP Target Bonus Opportunity (50% of the 100% TBO) for FY 2010 AOP PBT and Cash Flow (i) Performance against MICP objective (PBT and Cash Flow for both Baldwin and Food Blends) will be measured on a sliding scale that equates 80% achievement of each FY 2010 AOP MICP objective to a zero percent (0%) bonus and 100% achievement of each FY 2010 AOP MICP objective to fifty percent (50%) of the 100% TBO. (This 50% of the 100% TBO is called the AOP Target Bonus Opportunity.) (ii) The sliding scale means that each one percent (1%) achievement of a bonus objective in excess of 80% earns two and one-half percent (2.5%) of a participant's 100% TBO. For example, ninety percent (90%) achievement of each FY 2010 AOP MICP objective equates to a twenty-five percent (25%) attainment of the 100% TBO, and at one-hundred percent (100%) achievement of each FY 2010 AOP MICP objective this will equate to fifty percent (50%) attainment of the 100% TBO. B. Attaining Bonuses in excess of the AOP Target Bonus Opportunity (50% of the 100% TBO) with financial performances in excess of the FY 2010 AOP PBT and Cash Flow objectives. (i) FY 2010 AOP PROFIT BEFORE TAX (a) If Baldwin achieves a consolidated profit before tax of 192% of the FY 2010 AOP Profit Before Tax objective, then the participant will attain the 100% TBO on this objective. In other words, at the FY 2010 AOP Profit Before Tax objective, the participant earns 50% of the 100% TBO (the AOP Target Bonus Opportunity), and this is then linearly scaled so the participant attains 100% of the 100% TBO at 192% achievement. (b) If Baldwin achieves a consolidated profit before tax of 343% of the FY 2010 AOP Profit Before Tax objective, then the participant will attain a 150% TBO on this objective. In other words, at a profit before tax of 192% of the FY 2010 AOP, the participant earns 100% of the 100% TBO, and this is then linearly scaled so the participant attains 150% of the 100% TBO at 343% achievement. (c) Beyond the 150% TBO, an additional profit before tax bonus opportunity has been provided in an amount equivalent to the reduced bonus amount due to the cap at less than 150% TBO on the Cash Flow objective. This additional bonus opportunity can be attained if Baldwin achieves a consolidated profit before tax of 440% of the FY 2010 AOP Profit Before Tax objective. In other words, at a profit before tax of 343% the participant earns 150% of the 100% TBO, and this is then linearly scaled so the participant attains 182% of the 100% TBO at 440%. (ii) FY 2010 AOP CASH FLOW (a) If Baldwin achieves a cash flow of 120% of the FY 2010 Cash Flow objective, then the participant will attain 75% of the 100% TBO on this objective. In other words, at the FY 2010 AOP Cash Flow objective, the participant earns 50% of the 100% TBO, and this is then linearly scaled so the participant attains 75% of the 100% TBO at 120%. (b) 75% of the 100% TBO for the FY 2010 AOP Cash Flow objective is the maximum bonus that can be achieved on the cash flow objective. The remaining bonus amount between 75% and 100% of the 100% TBO as well as the portion due to the 150% maximum bonus for this objective has to be attained through the FY 2010 AOP PBT objective as noted in section III.B(i)(c) above. C. The calculations for total Company and Food Blends business unit MICP bonuses are independent of one another, as are the calculations for the percentage achievement against each FY 2010 AOP MICP objective. This means that there are a total of four (4) independent calculations associated with each participant's bonus for Food Blends including the total Company and business unit achievement calculations. For all other participants, there are two discrete calculations - one for total company PBT achievement and one for Cash Flow achievement. IV MICP FY 2010 OBJECTIVES A. The MICP provides that each eligible participant can earn a bonus upon the achievement of certain MICP performance goals. (The types of objectives are the same for both the total Company and the Food Blends business unit). For FY 2010, both total Company and the Food Blends business unit have two quantitative performance objectives whose purpose is to focus the Company's attention on earnings (through PBT) and on cash management (through an improvement in managing cash flow). B. FY 2010 total year AOP PBT will be weighted at 70%, while total year AOP Cash Flow will be weighted at 30%. V ADMINISTRATIVE A. NEW PARTICIPANTS Any newly hired, promoted or transferred employee who was not in the MICP Plan and becomes eligible as a result of being newly hired, promoted or transferred will participate in the MICP on a pro-rated basis from the date of such occurrence. All new participants must be approved by the President & Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of Baldwin. B. TERMINATION, RETIREMENT OR DEATH Unless otherwise stipulated in a participant's employment agreement (which employment agreement has been approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company), a participant who terminates voluntarily or is terminated for just cause (or summary dismissal) prior to a payout of any bonus under this Plan as outlined in Section V.C below, will not receive payment under this Plan. In the case of retirement or death or involuntary termination of a participant before the fiscal year-end of the bonus plan year, payment will be made on a pro-rated basis consistent with the time such employee worked in the fiscal year. C. PAYOUT At fiscal year-end, actual financial performance results will be compared to the performance criteria, and the payout for each participant will be calculated using the foreign exchange rate in effect on June 30th of that fiscal year. Any payout from the Plan will occur with the first eligible pay period following the year-end earnings release but no later than December 31st following the end of the fiscal year. D. PLAN CHANGES Unless otherwise stipulated in a participant's employment agreement (which employment agreement has been approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company), all information contained herein including the MICP targets and the payout of bonuses (either as a whole or individually) under this Plan may be changed as considered appropriate (for matters such as acquisitions, etc.) at the sole discretion of the President & CEO of the Company, provided that the changes to the Plan must be approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company. E. CHANGE OF CONTROL In the event of involuntary separation of a participant within ninety (90) days of a Change of Control in the Company's ownership, payment will be made on a pro-rata basis consistent with the time such participant worked during the fiscal year. F. AUTHORIZED BONUS PLAN This Management Incentive Compensation Plan is the only authorized bonus plan of Baldwin Technology Company, Inc. To the extent that any other bonus plans or agreements to pay an employee a bonus exist, based on corporate, business unit, personal, etc. performance, they must be communicated to the Director of Human Resources of Baldwin Technology Company, Inc, who will determine the appropriate disposition of those plans and eligibility of their participants for the MICP.

(the "Company") Form 10-K filing pursuant to Item 601 of Regulation S-K. We have audited the consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2009, as set forth in our report dated September 28, 2009. As stated in Note 7 to those financial statements, on June 30, 2009, the Company elected to change its method of valuing certain of its domestic inventory to the FIFO method, whereas in prior years certain domestic inventory was valued using the LIFO method. The new method was adopted as it provides for a more consistent matching of expenses with revenues currently and in the foreseeable future and provides a consistent inventory methodology across the Company as inventory held in foreign locations and certain inventory in domestic locations currently and historically have been valued using the FIFO method. With regard to the aforementioned accounting change, it should be understood that authoritative criteria have not been established for evaluating the preferability of one acceptable method of accounting over another acceptable method and, in expressing our concurrence below, we have relied on management's business planning and judgment and on management's determination that this change in accounting principle is preferable. Based on our reading of management's stated reasons and justification for this change in accounting principle in the Form 10-K, and our discussions with management as to their judgment about the relevant business planning factors relating to the change, we concur with management that the newly adopted method of accounting is preferable in the Company's circumstances.
