PREFERABILITY LETTER FROM INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC
                                 ACCOUNTING FIRM

September 28, 2009

Board of Directors
Baldwin Technology Company, Inc.
2 Trap Falls Road
Shelton, CT

Dear Directors:

We are providing this letter solely for inclusion as an exhibit to Baldwin
Technology Company, Inc. (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.

Very truly yours,


/s/ GRANT THORNTON LLP
