BALDWIN TECHNOLOGY COMPANY, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

(in thousands, except share and per share data)

Note 1 — Organization and Basis of Presentation:

Baldwin Technology Company, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Baldwin” or the “Company”) are engaged primarily in the development, manufacture and sale of press automation equipment for the printing industry.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Baldwin and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and in compliance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature, which are in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s latest Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008.

The Company normally performs the required testing of goodwill on an annual basis in May of each year. As a result of the deteriorating macro-economic environment, the continued market volatility and the Company’s decreased market capitalization, the Company is undergoing an interim analysis 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 is used to test goodwill impairment. The first step is 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.

To estimate the fair value of its reporting units for step one, the Company utilizes a combination of income and market approaches. The income approach, specifically a discounted cash flow methodology and a market approach applying the use of multiples of revenues and earnings associated with comparable companies was used.

The Company completed step one of the analysis and determined that several of its reporting units may be impaired. The goodwill related to these reporting units is approximately $19,000.

Due to the complexity of estimating the fair value of the identifiable tangible and intangible assets of the reporting units in the step two analysis, the Company was not able to complete the interim impairment test by the filing deadline for its Form 10-Q for the three-month period ended December 31, 2008.

The Company anticipates having the analysis completed during the third quarter. However, the Company has estimated that the potential loss from the step two analysis will be between $0 and $19,000. The Company has not recorded a charge in the second quarter due to the fact that it is not sure at this time what the amount of the impairment will be within this range. A non-cash impairment charge, if any, will be recorded in the third quarter.

Note 2 — Recently Issued Accounting Standards:

In May 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position APB14-1, “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash Upon Conversion” (“FSP APB 14-1”) which requires issuers of convertible debt that may be settled wholly or partly in cash to account for the debt and equity components separately. This FSP is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, which for the Company is the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2009 and must be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company is assessing the impact, if any, which the adoption of FSP APB 14-1 will have on our financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosure about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (SFAS 161). SFAS 161 requires additional derivative disclosures, including objectives and strategies for using derivatives, fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. The Company is in the process of analyzing the impact of SFAS 161, which is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 161 to have a material impact on the financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations. SFAS No. 141(R) establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer in a business combination (a) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any controlling interest, (b) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase, and (c) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) applies to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after December 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS 141(R) will have an impact on accounting for business combinations once adopted, but the effect is dependent upon acquisitions at that time.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment to ARB No. 51. SFAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards that require (a) the ownership interest in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent to be clearly identified and presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets within equity, but separate from the parent’s equity, (b) the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and the non-controlling interest to be clearly identified and presented on the face of the Consolidated Statement of Earnings and (c) changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest in its subsidiary to be accounted for consistently. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company does not expect that the adoption of SFAS No. 160 will have a material impact on its results of operations and financial position.

In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No 115,” which permits entities to measure some financial assets and liabilities at fair value on an instrument-by-instrument basis. Entities that elect the fair value option will report unrealized gains and losses in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS No. 159 also establishes additional disclosure requirements. The Company adopted SFAS No. 159 effective July 1, 2008. The adoption of SFAS No. 159 did not have any material impact on the financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The Company adopted SFAS No. 157 effective July 1, 2008. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have any material impact on the financial statements. In December 2007, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-b to defer SFAS 157’s effective date for all non-financial assets and liabilities, except those items recognized or disclosed at fair value on an annual or more frequently recurring basis, until years beginning after November 15, 2008. Derivatives measured at fair value under FAS 133 were not deferred under FSP FAS 157-b. We are assessing the impact, if any, which the adoption of FSP FAS 157-b will have on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

The Company maintains relationships with both foreign and domestic banks, which combined have extended short and long-term credit facilities to the Company totaling $55,987. As of December 31, 2008, the Company had $33,923 outstanding (including Letters of Credit). The amount available under these credit facilities at December 31, 2008 was $22,064. At December 31, 2008, the Company was compliant with all loan provision covenants.

However, in January 2009, the Company committed to the principal features of a plan to restructure some of its existing operations. The associated restructuring charge, recorded during the third quarter, will cause 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 as lead bank. As a result, the Company has been conducting discussions with its banks to amend the credit agreement. Although there are no assurances, the Company fully expects to have a restructured credit agreement in place before the end of the third quarter.

Note 4 — Net income per share:

Basic net income per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per share reflects the potential dilution by securities that could share in the earnings of an entity. The weighted average shares outstanding used to compute diluted net income per share include 76,000 and 128,000 of potentially dilutive shares, respectively for the three and six months ended December 31, 2008 and 38,000 and 408,000 of potentially dilutive shares, respectively, for the three and six months ended December 31, 2007. Outstanding options to purchase 905,000 and 226,000 shares, of the Company’s

common stock for the three months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, are not included in the above calculation to compute diluted net income per share, as their exercise prices exceeded the current market value of these shares.

Note 5 — Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss):

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) (“AOCI”) is comprised of various items, which affect equity that result from recognized transactions and other economic events other than transactions with owners in their capacity as owners. AOCI is included in stockholders’ equity in the consolidated balance sheets. AOCI consists of the following:

Note 13 — 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.

Baldwin brought a patent infringement case against Siebert in 2002 before the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, alleging infringement of several of Baldwin’s U.S. Patents. During 2006, the District Court granted summary judgment of non-infringement to Siebert on Baldwin’s RE35,976 Patent. During 2007, the District Court granted summary judgment of non-infringement to Siebert on Baldwin’s U.S. Patent 5,974,976. Baldwin appealed both rulings to the Federal Circuit. On January 15, 2008, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit rendered its decision in the matter ofBaldwin Graphic Systems, Inc. v. Siebert, Inc. The Federal Circuit affirmed the lower court’s decision of summary judgment on the RE35,976 Patent, reversed the summary judgment decision on Patent 5,974,976, and remanded back to the lower court for further proceedings. Siebert again moved for summary judgment, which the District Court granted on August 27, 2008, invalidating Patent 5,974,976 as obvious and indefinite. Baldwin appealed that decision to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. On January 12, 2009 the parties attended mediation which resulted in a confidential but mutual settlement; the appeal was dismissed and the Federal Circuit court remanded the case to the District Court, which vacated the invalidity judgment and dismissed the case.

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”). Technotrans filed an appeal of the DHRC ruling with the German 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 has also appealed that judgment to the German Supreme Court in Karlsruhe. That court has not yet reached a decision on either of those appeals. No amounts have been recorded in the consolidated financial statements with regard to the potential contingent gain from the DHRC judgment. On

May 18, 2005, Baldwin Germany GmbH of Augsburg, Germany, a subsidiary of Baldwin Technology Company, Inc. filed suit in the Regional Court of Dusseldorf, Germany against Technotrans, claiming damages of 32,672,592 Euro (approximately $46,000,000) as a result of the patent infringement. 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. That appeal has been suspended until the Supreme Court rules on the invalidity action, which is expected to occur at the end of April, 2009.

Note 14 — Income Taxes:

The Company’s effective tax rate is impacted by having significant operations outside the United States, which are taxed at rates different than the U.S. statutory rate of 34 percent. In addition, no tax benefit is recognized for losses incurred in certain countries as realization of such benefits was not more likely than not. Additionally, during the six months ended December 31, 2007, the tax provision was negatively impacted $380,000, as a result of a change in tax rates in Germany and the associated effects on the Company’s deferred tax assets in that country.

Note 15 — Subsequent Event:

On January 30, 2009, the Company committed to the principal features of a plan to realign some of its existing operations. The objective of the plan is to achieve operational efficiencies in Germany by reducing costs to better position the Company in the current competitive marketplace. Actions under the Plan commenced during January 2009, and the Company expects to substantially complete the plan by June 30, 2009. The costs associated with the Plan will be charged to the Company’s results of operations during the third quarter of Fiscal 2009 and consist primarily of employee personnel costs. The Company expects to incur costs of approximately $3,000,000, anticipated to be paid in cash primarily during Fiscal 2009 and through the second quarter of Fiscal 2010.


ITEM 2:		MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following is management’s discussion and analysis of certain factors, which have affected the consolidated financial statements of Baldwin.

Forward-looking Statements

Except for the historical information contained herein, the following statements and certain other statements contained herein are based on current expectations. 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 obtain, maintain and defend challenges against valid patent protection on certain technology, primarily as it relates to the Company’s cleaning systems, (ii) material changes in foreign currency exchange rates versus the U.S. Dollar, (iii) changes in the mix of products and services comprising revenues, (iv) a decline in the rate of growth of the installed base of printing press units and the timing of new press orders, (v) general economic conditions, either domestically or in foreign locations, (vi) the ultimate realization of certain trade receivables and the status of ongoing business levels with the Company’s large OEM customers, and (vii) competitive market influences. Additional factors are set forth in Item 1A “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, which should be read in conjunction herewith.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

For further information regarding the Company’s critical accounting policies, please refer to the Management’s Discussion and Analysis section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008.

The Company completed step one of the analysis and determined that several of its reporting units may be impaired. The goodwill related to these reporting units is approximately $19,000.

Due to the complexity of estimating the fair value of the identifiable tangible and intangible assets of the reporting units in the step two analysis, the

Company was not able to complete the interim impairment test by the filing deadline for its Form 10-Q for the three-month period ended December 31, 2008.

Overview

Baldwin Technology Company, Inc. is a leading global supplier of press automation equipment and related consumables for the printing and publishing industries. Baldwin 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, CT, the Company has sales and service centers and product development and manufacturing operations in the Americas, Asia and Europe. Baldwin’s technology and products include cleaning systems, fluid management and ink control systems, web press protection systems and drying systems.

The Company currently manages its business as one reportable business segment built around its core competency in press automation equipment. The Company monitors compliance with the disclosure requirement of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131 “Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information” for the purpose of defining its reportable segments.

The global economic climate continued to deteriorate during the quarter ended December 31, 2008. The market for printing equipment faces significant challenges due to the current economic environment. In addition, several of the Company’s largest customers (major OEM press manufacturers) have reported weakness in orders and sales, particularly for commercial presses. These events have translated into a lower level of business activity for the Company and have been reflected in lower order intake and reduced shipment levels of the Company’s equipment. See discussion below related to consolidated results of operations.

As a result of the slowing global economy, the Company has implemented previously announced cost reduction and restructuring programs designed to mitigate the impact of the continuing weak market for printing equipment. See discussion below related to liquidity and capital resources.

Six Months Ended December 31, 2008 vs. Six Months Ended December 31, 2007

Consolidated Results

Net Sales

Net sales for the six months ended December 31, 2008 decreased by $9,664,000, or 9%, to $102,196,000 from $111,860,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2007. Currency rate fluctuations attributable to the Company’s overseas operations increased net sales by $647,000 in the current period.

Net sales, excluding the effects of exchange rates, reflects decreased sales in Europe of $5,949,000. The decrease is attributable to weakening global demand for the Company’s equipment reflecting reduced order and sales activity by OEM press manufacturers in Germany for new printing equipment. In addition, deliveries to end users in the U.K. and

France in fiscal year 2008 were not repeated in fiscal year 2009. Partially offsetting these declines were increased equipment shipments in the newspaper market.

In Asia net sales decreased $4,130,000. In the newspaper market lower demand for spray dampening equipment, coupled with the slow economy which additionally reduced demand in the commercial market for cleaning equipment and water systems, more than offset the increased demand for consumables and higher service related projects. Net sales in the Americas decreased $231,000 and primarily reflects higher demand in the commercial market for water systems, particularly temperature control equipment, offset by the decline in demand in the newspaper market.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the six months ended December 31, 2008 of $31,708,000 (31.0% of net sales) as compared to $35,214,000 (31.5% of net sales) for the six months ended December 31, 2007, a decrease of $3,506,000 or 10%. Currency rate fluctuations had virtually no impact on the increased gross profit in the current period.

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased as a result of continued pricing pressures from OEM and end users, higher material costs primarily in Japan, product revenue mix which included a higher portion of products sourced from alliance partners and unfavorable overhead absorption related to the reduced volumes.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) amounted to $19,348,000 (18.9% of net sales) for the six months ended December 31, 2008 as compared to $20,301,000 (18.1% of net sales) for the same period in the prior fiscal year, a decrease of $953,000 or 5%. Currency rate fluctuations had virtually no effect on the SG&A decrease. Selling expenses decreased $305,000. The decrease is primarily driven by lower trade show, advertising and commission expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased approximately $648,000 and reflects reduced outside service consultants, lower travel and other employee expenses.

Engineering and Development Expenses

Engineering and development expenses amounted to $8,549,000 (8.4% of net sales) for the six months ended December 31, 2008, compared to $9,329,000 (8.3% of net sales) for the same period in the prior fiscal year, a decrease of $780,000 or 8.4%. Currency rate fluctuations increased expenses $100,000. The decrease relates primarily to lower salaries, benefits and other employee related costs associated with lower headcount.

Restructuring

The Company recorded $681,000 of restructuring costs during the six months ended December 31, 2008 versus $960,000 in the comparable prior year period. The restructuring plans were designed to achieve operational efficiencies in Germany and consisted entirely of employee terminations.

Interest and Other

Interest expense for the six months ended December 31, 2008 was $1,250,000, compared to $1,564,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2007. Currency rate fluctuations had no impact on interest expense in the current period. This decrease reflects the lower average debt and interest rates versus the period ended December 31, 2007. Interest income amounted to $18,000 and $137,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Other (income) expense, net amounted to income of $1,249,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2008 compared to expense of $45,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2007. These amounts are primarily comprised of net foreign exchange gains in fiscal year 2009 and losses in fiscal year 2008.

Income Taxes

The Company recorded an income tax provision of $ 1,474,000 or 46.8% for the six months ended December 31, 2008, compared to $1,849,000 or 58.7% for the six months ended December 31, 2007. The tax provision for the six months ended December 31, 2007 has been negatively impacted by approximately $380,000 as a result of a reduction in tax rates in Germany and the associated effects on the Company’s deferred tax assets in that country. Excluding the impact of the discrete change the effective rate for the six months ended December 31, 2007 was 46.6%.

The effective tax rates of 46.8% and 46.6% for fiscal 2009 and 2008, respectively, differ from the statutory rate and reflect, a) no benefit recognized for losses incurred in certain jurisdictions, as the realization of such benefits was not more likely than not b) the effect of certain foreign income items on U.S. taxable income, c) foreign and domestic permanent adjustments. The Company continues to assess the need for its deferred tax asset valuation allowance in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Any adjustments to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance would be recorded in the income statement of the period that the adjustment was determined to be required.

Net Income

The Company’s net income was $1,673,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2008, compared to net income of $1,303,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2007. Currency rate fluctuations decreased net income by $220,000 in the current period. Net income per basic and diluted share was to $0.03 for the six months ended December 31, 2008, compared to net income per basic and diluted share of $0.02 basic and diluted for the six months ended December 31, 2007.

Three Months Ended December 31, 2008 vs. Three Months Ended December 31, 2007

Consolidated Results

Net Sales

Net sales for the three months ended December 31, 2008 decreased by $11,672,000, or 20%, to $46,259,000 from $57,931,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2007. Currency rate fluctuations attributable to the Company’s overseas operations decreased net sales by $2,481,000 in the current period. Excluding the impact of unfavorable currency, net sales decreased $9,191,000 or 16% versus the comparable three month period.

Net sales, excluding the effects of exchange rates, reflects decreased sales in Europe $4,919,000. The decrease is attributable to continued weakening of global demand for the Company’s equipment reflecting reduced order and sales activity by OEM press manufacturers in Germany for new printing equipment.

In Asia, net sales decreased $3,153,000. The decrease reflects the impact of the slowing economy in the commercial and newspaper market for the Company’s cleaning equipment. Net Sales in the Americas decreased $1,120,000 and primarily reflects lower demand in the commercial market for cleaning systems.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the three months ended December 31, 2008 was $14,373,000 (31.1% of net sales), compared to $17,968,000 (31.0% of net sales) for the three months ended December 31, 2007, a decrease of $3,595,000 or 20%. Currency rate fluctuations decreased gross profit by $1,043,000, in the current period. Excluding the effects of currency rate fluctuations gross profit declined $2,552,000.

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales remained flat as a percentage of sales. Increased under absorption of labor and overhead costs associated with the lower volumes noted above and higher material costs were offset by reduced technical service requirements and favorable technical solutions reduced reserve requirements.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) were $9,191,000 (19.9% of net sales) for the three months ended December 31, 2008, compared to $10,623,000 (18.3% of net sales) for the same period in the prior fiscal year, a decrease of $1,432,000 or 13.5%. Excluding the effect of foreign currency translations of $452,000 SG&A decreased $978,000 or 9%. The decrease reflects lower trade show, advertising and commission expenses coupled with reduction in outside service consultants, lower travel and other employee expenses.

Engineering and Development Expenses

Engineering and development expenses were $3,862,000 (8.3% of net sales) for the three months ended December 31, 2008, compared to $4,913,000 (8.5% of net sales) for the same period in the prior fiscal year, a decrease of $1,051,000 or 21.4%. Excluding the effects of currency rate fluctuations of $245,000, engineering and development expenses would have decreased $806,000 and primarily reflects lower salaries and benefits associated with lower headcount.

Restructuring

The Company recorded $681,000 of restructuring costs during the three months ended December 31, 2008 versus $960,000 in the comparable prior year period. The restructuring plans were designed to achieve operational efficiencies in Germany and consist entirely of employee terminations.

Interest and Other

Interest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2008 was $557,000 as compared to $794,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2007. Currency rate fluctuations increased interest expense by $42,000 in the current period. Otherwise, interest expense decreased by $195,000. The decrease reflects lower debt levels and interest rates versus the period ended December 31, 2007. Interest income amounted to $12,000 and $69,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Other (income) expense, net, amounted to income of $846,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2008 compared to income of $27,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2007. Other income (expense), net, primarily includes net foreign currency transaction gains for the three months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.

Income Taxes

The Company recorded an income tax provision of $477,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2008, compared to $510,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2007. The effective tax rate of 50.7% and 65.9% for the three months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, differs from the statutory rate, as no benefit was recognized for losses incurred in certain countries, as the realization of such benefits was not more likely than not, foreign income tax at rates higher than the U.S. statutory rate and the effect of certain foreign income on U.S. taxable income.

Net Income

The Company’s net income was $463,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2008, compared to $264,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2007. Currency rate

fluctuations reduced net income $345,000 in the current period. Net income per basic and diluted share amounted to $0.03 for the three months ended December 31, 2008, compared to $0.02 per basic and diluted share for the three months ended December 31, 2007.

Liquidity and Capital Resources at December 31, 2008

The following table summarizes cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities, as reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the six months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007:


	2008			2007
Cash provided by (used for):
Operating activities	$	19,000		$	(7,224,000	)
Investing activities		(1,177,000	)		(1,830,000	)
Financing activities		5,718,000			1,157,000
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash		141,000			464,000

Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	4,701,000		$	(7,433,000	)

Cash provided by operating activities increased $7,243,000 during the six months ended December 31, 2008 versus the prior year period. This increase reflects higher customer deposits, decreased inventory, notes and accounts receivable offset by the timing of payments for trade accounts payable.

The Company utilized $1,177,000 for investing activities for the six months ended December 31, 2008. Cash utilized for investing during the six months ending December 31, 2008 and 2007 includes additions to property, plant and equipment and patents and trademarks of $1,177,000 and $1,384,000, respectively. The amount utilized during the six months ended December 31, 2007 additionally include payments of $446,000 associated with fiscal year 2007 acquisitions.

Cash provided by financing activities of $5,718,000 and $1,157,000 for the periods ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, primarily reflects net borrowings in excess of debt repayments.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2008, the Company announced a restructuring plan in an effort to achieve operational efficiencies in Germany, and other cost savings initiatives. The Company expects to incur aggregate cash expenditures of approximately $681,000 under the restructuring plan, primarily during fiscal year 2008 in relationship to this action. Annual estimated savings from the second quarter actions is approximately $2.1 million.

In addition, in January 2009, the Company committed to the principal features of an additional plan to restructure some of its existing operations. The plan includes consolidation of production facilities and employment reductions in Germany. Actions under the plan commenced in January 2009 in response to weakening market conditions. The Company currently expects to substantially complete the plan by the end of the Company’s current fiscal year.

The costs associated with this plan will be charged to the Company’s results of operations during the third quarter of Fiscal 2009 and consist primarily of employee personnel costs. The Company expects to incur costs of approximately $3.0 million, anticipated to be paid in cash during the remainder of Fiscal 2009 and into the second quarter of Fiscal 2010.

This action, combined with other initiatives implemented during the third quarter, in Europe, the U.S. and Japan will eliminate 68 full-time positions and will reduce the Company’s worldwide cost base and strengthen its competitive position as a leading global supplier of process automation equipment. In addition, the Company has eliminated merit increases for approximately 13% of the remaining workforce, 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 reductions from approximately 49 senior managers. The Company estimates that annual savings from all of the above third quarter initiatives will be approximately $5.8 million.

The Company has additionally instituted cost reduction initiatives, related to reduction in overtime, implementation of short time work weeks, reduction of external service providers and extended holiday shutdown, all of which will provide additional annual savings of approximately $4.1 million.

As a result of Fiscal 2009 restructurings and other actions the Company’s full time employment headcount will be reduced from the 655 at June 30, 2008 to approximately 575, a reduction of 80 employees or 12%.

The restructuring charge recorded during the third quarter will cause the Company’s trailing twelve month reported EBITDA for the computation period to decrease to a level lower than the minimum level required by the credit agreement with Bank of America as lead bank. As a result, the Company has been conducting discussions with its banks to amend the credit agreement. Although there are no assurances, the Company fully expects to have a restructured credit agreement in place before the end of the third quarter.

The Company maintains relationships with both foreign and domestic banks, which combined, have extended credit facilities to the Company equivalent to $55,987,000 at December 31, 2008. As of December 31, 2008, the Company had $33,923,000 (including letters of credit) outstanding under these credit facilities.

The Company believes that its cash flows from operations, along with the available bank lines of credit and alternative sources of borrowings, if necessary, are sufficient to finance its working capital and other capital requirements through the term of the Bank of America Agreement.

At December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008, the Company did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance entities, special purpose entities or variable interest entities, which would have been 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.

The following summarizes the Company’s contractual obligations at December 31, 2008 and the effect such obligations are expected to have on its liquidity and cash flow in future periods (in thousands):

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.

ITEM 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk:

A discussion of market risk exposures is included in Part II Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008. There has been no material changes during the six months ended December 31, 2008.

ITEM 4: Controls and Procedures:

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 reports it files or submits 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 its management, including the Chief Executive officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, it conducted an evaluation of its disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting:

During the quarter ended December 31, 2008, the Company has not made any changes in the internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

The Company continues to review, document and test its internal control over financial reporting, and may from time to time make changes aimed at enhancing their effectiveness and to ensure that its systems evolve with the Company’s business. These efforts will lead to various changes in its internal control over financial reporting.

Part II: Other Information

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors

The following is an update to Item 1A — Risk Factors contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for its Fiscal Year ended June 30, 2008. For additional risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated, please refer to the Company’s Form 10-K.

The Company’s ability to access the capital and credit markets and unexpected changes in interest or foreign currency exchange rates could have a negative impact on its financial position and performance.

The capital and credit markets have become increasingly volatile as a result of adverse conditions that have caused the failure and near failure of a large number of financial services companies. The significant distress experienced by financial institutions has had and may continue to have far reaching adverse consequences across many industries, including the printing and publishing industry.

If the capital and credit markets continue to experience volatility and the availability of funds remains limited, it is possible that the Company’s ability to access the capital and credit markets may be limited at a time when the Company would like or need to do so (whether for acquisitions or for general business reasons) which may have an impact on the Company’s ability to react to changing economic and business conditions. In addition, changes in interest and foreign currency exchange rates could have an impact on the Company’s reported financial results. The Company may not be able to completely mitigate the effect of significant interest rate or foreign currency exchange rate changes.

ITEM 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

During the quarter ended December 31, 2008, the Company repurchased shares of its Class A Common Stock under a plan approved by the Board of Directors in November 1999 (The 1999 Plan).

The Company had previously repurchased $2.5 million shares under the Plan and the maximum amount of shares that may be repurchased under this program in the future was approximately $2.4 million as of December 31, 2008.
