Item 4.01Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Account
Previous Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
On November 14, 2006, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Baldwin Technology Company, Inc. (the “Company”) dismissed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PWC”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
The reports of PWC on the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle.
During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 and through November 14, 2006, there were no disagreements with PWC on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope and procedure which, if not resolved to PWC’s satisfaction, would have caused PWC to make reference to the matter in their reports on the financial statements for such years. In addition, during the years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 and through November 14, 2006, there were no “reportable events” as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The Company has requested PWC to furnish it a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements. A copy of the PWC letter, dated November 20, 2006, is filed as Exhibit 16 hereto.
New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Additionally, on November 14, 2006, the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors appointed a new independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2007. The new firm is in the process of finalizing and concluding on its client acceptance procedures; further information will be provided in a future Form 8-K filing. During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 and through November 14, 2006, neither the Company nor anyone acting on behalf of the Company consulted with the new independent registered public accounting firm with regards to any of the matters described in Item 304(a)(2)(i) and Item 304(a)(2)(ii) of Regulation S-K.
