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 its subsidiaries 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, 2007.
Note 2 – Recently Issued Accounting Standards:
     The Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (FIN 48) on July 1, 2007. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting and reporting for uncertainties in income tax law. This Interpretation prescribes a comprehensive model for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns.
     The cumulative effect of adopting FIN 48 was a decrease of $2,418 to the July 1, 2007 accumulated earnings balance with a corresponding charge in balance sheet tax accounts. As of the adoption date, the Company has gross unrecognized tax benefits of $4,617. The balance of accrued interest (net of tax benefits) was $59 and penalties of $135 were reflected at July 1, 2007 to the Statement of Financial Position. Interest and penalties related to the income tax liabilities are included in income tax expense.
     If the unrecognized tax benefits were recognized, the favorable impact on the effective tax rate would be $2,418.
     In many cases, the Company’s uncertain tax positions are related to tax years that remain subject to examination by relevant taxing authorities. The Company is currently not under audit by the Internal Revenue Service but is under audit in various non-U.S. jurisdictions. The Company believes it is reasonably possible that no material uncertain tax position may decrease in the next 12 months.
     The Company conducts business globally and, as a result, files one or more income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and non-U.S. jurisdictions. In the normal course of business the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world, including such major jurisdictions as Sweden, Germany, Japan, the

7


 

U.K. and the United States. The open tax years for these jurisdictions span 2000 through 2007.
     For the three month period ending September 30, 2007, there was no material changes related to tax reserves that impacted the Company’s effective tax rate.
     In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued 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 provisions of SFAS No. 159 are effective for fiscal years beginning July 1, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of SFAS No. 159 and the resulting impact of adoption on its 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 provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective for fiscal year beginning July 1, 2008, and interim periods within that fiscal year. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of SFAS No. 157 and the resulting impact of adoption on the financial statements.

As of September 30, 2007, the Company had $33,288 outstanding (including letters of credit). The amount available under these credit facilities at September 30, 2007 was $28,352.
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 of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity. For the three months ended September

8


 

30, 2007 and 2006, the weighted average shares outstanding used to compute diluted net income per share include potentially dilutive securities of 437,000 and 723,000 shares, respectively. Outstanding options to purchase 30,000 and 69,000 shares, respectively, of the Company’s common stock for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, are not included in the above calculation to compute diluted net income per share as their exercise prices exceeded their current market value of these shares.

Note 14 – Legal Proceedings:
     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 $45,000,000) as a result of the patent infringement. The

12


 

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 decision is expected some time in 2008.
Note 15 – 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 35 percent and no tax benefit recognized for losses incurred in certain countries as realization of such benefits was not more likely than not. In addition, during the quarter ended September 30, 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.
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, (vii) competitive market influences. Additional factors are set forth in Item 1A “Risk Factors” to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 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, 2007. Other than the Company’s adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” on July 1, 2007 (see Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements) there have been no material changes during the three months ended September 30, 2007.

Overview
     Baldwin Technology Company, Inc. is a leading global supplier of press automation equipment 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 production facilities 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 manages its business as one reportable business segment built around its core competency in accessories and controls.
     Net sales as reported for the three months ended September 30, 2007 increased by $10,722,000, or 25%, to $53,929,000 from $43,207,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006. Revenue as discussed more fully below has been favorably impacted by the acquisitions of Oxy-Dry in November 2006 and Hildebrand in April 2007 as well as currency rate fluctuations.
     Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2007 was $17,246,000 (32% of net sales) as compared to $14,262,000 (33.0% of net sales) for the three months ended September 30, 2006, an increase of $2,984,000 or 21%. The increase, as described in the discussion below, relates to the acquired businesses, currency rates changes and lower material costs.
     Operating income increased to 6% of sales for the period ended September 30, 2007 from 5% of sales for the three months ended September 30 2006, primarily as a result of the additional revenue, stable gross margins and controlled operating expenses.
     Interest expense increased for the three months ended September 30, 2007 versus the previous year’s corresponding periods as a result of higher average debt levels associated with the fiscal year 2007 acquisitions of Oxy-Dry and Hildebrand. In addition, a change in the German tax rates negatively impacted tax expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2007.
Three Months Ended September 30, 2007 vs. Three Months Ended September 30, 2006
Consolidated Results
Net Sales
     Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2007 increased by $10,722,000, or 25%, to $53,929,000 from $43,207,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006. Currency rate fluctuations attributable to the Company’s overseas operations increased net sales by $1,715,000 in the current period. In addition, sales attributable to acquisitions (Oxy-Dry in November 2006 and Hildebrand in April 2007) favorably impacted sales by $11,275,000. Excluding the effects of currency translations and the acquisitions net sales declined $2,268,000 or 5%.
     The net sales decrease (excluding the effects of acquired businesses and rates of exchange) reflects decreased sales in Europe of $2,385,000. The decrease is primarily attributable to lower demand for the Company’s commercial cleaning systems reflecting reduced order and sales activity by OEM press manufacturers in Germany, coupled with lower shipments to the newspaper market serviced by the Company’s subsidiary in Sweden. Net

14


 

Sales in the Americas decreased $353,000 due to lower shipments in the US commercial markets. In Asia net sales increased $470,000 as the result of increased sales in the newspaper market, primarily of spray dampening systems, partially offset by reduced OEM activity in the commercial market.

15


 

Gross Profit
     Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2007 was $17,246,000 (32.0% of net sales) as compared to $14,262,000 (33.0% of net sales) for the three months ended September 30, 2006, an increase of $2,984,000 or 21%. Currency rate fluctuations increased gross profit by $637,000 and the acquired businesses favorably impacted gross margin approximately $2,833,000 in the current period. Excluding the effects of currency rate fluctuations and the acquired businesses, gross profit remained relatively flat while margins improved to 34%. Gross margin was favorably impacted by lower material costs resulting from purchasing efficiencies primarily in Japan.
Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses
     Selling, general and administrative expenses amounted to $9,678,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to $8,170,000 for the same period in the prior fiscal year, (amounts representing 17.9% and 18.9% of respective period sales) an increase of $1,508,000. Currency rate fluctuations increased these expenses by $269,000 in the current period while the acquired businesses added approximately $1,094,000. Otherwise, selling, general and administrative expenses would have increased by $145,000. Selling expenses increased by $205,000, which is primarily the result of higher trade show expenses and commission costs. General and administrative expenses decreased by $60,000 primarily due to lower accruals for incentive compensation costs offset in part by higher outside professional service costs.
Engineering and Development Expenses
     Engineering and development expenses increased by $439,000 over the same period in the prior fiscal year. Currency rate fluctuations increased these expenses by $184,000 and the acquired businesses added $287,000 in the current period. Excluding the effects of currency rate fluctuations and the acquired businesses, engineering and development expenses would have remained flat in the current period. As a percentage of net sales, engineering and development expenses decreased to 8.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to 9.2% for the same period in the prior fiscal year.
Interest and Other
     Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2007 was $770,000 as compared to $224,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006. Currency rate fluctuations had a negligible effect in the current period. This increase reflects the higher average debt level in the current period of approximately $19.0 million versus the period ended September 30, 2006.
     Interest income amounted to $68,000 and $31,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
     Other income (expense), net amounted to expense of $72,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to income of $226,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006. Other income for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 includes $147,000 of income related to the cancellation of an insurance contract in Japan.
Income Taxes
     The Company recorded an income tax provision of $1,339,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to $822,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006. The tax provision has been negatively impacted in the quarter ended September 30, 2007 by approximately $380,000, primarily is a result of a change in the tax rates in Germany and the associated effects on the Company’s deferred tax assets in that country. Excluding this adjustment the effective tax rate was 40.3% (38.3% for the quarter ended September 30, 2006) for the three

16


 

months ended September 30, 2006. The effective tax rates for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 differ from the statutory rates as no benefits are recognized for losses incurred in certain countries as the realization of such benefits was not more likely than not. The Company continues to assess the need for its deferred tax asset valuation allowances in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Any adjustments to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance either positive or negative would be recorded in the income statement of the period that the adjustments were determined to be required. In particular, the Company is monitoring positive earnings trends and other positive evidence in the U.S. to determine if such trends could possibly require a reversal of valuation allowances.
Net Income
     The Company’s net income amounted to $1,039,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2007, compared to net income of $1,326,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006. Net income per share amounted to $0.07 basic and diluted for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and $.09 basic and $0.08 diluted for the three months ended September 30, 2006.
Liquidity and Capital Resources at September 30, 2007
     Cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities, as reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, are summarized as follows:
                 
    2007     2006  
Cash provided by (used for):
               
Operating activities
  $ (1,059,000 )   $ (674,000 )
Investing activities
    (1,018,000 )     (304,000 )
Financing activities
    (3,975,000 )     908,000  
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash
    397,000       (220,000 )
 
           
Net (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents
  $ (5,655,000 )   $ (290,000 )
 
           
     Cash used for operating activities increased $385,000 during the quarter ended September 30, 2007 versus the prior year period. The increase is primarily related to a higher level of inventory in anticipation of shipments and a reduction in inventory turns from 5 times to 4 times coupled with lower customer deposits. Partially offsetting these declines was an improvement in accounts receivable management as days sales outstanding decreased to 68 days at September 30, 2007, compared to 72 days in the prior year period.
     The Company utilized an additional $714,000 of cash for investing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2007 versus the prior year period, for additional acquisition related payments $382,000, and net additions of $332,000 to property, plant and equipment and patents and trademarks.
     The Company maintains relationships with both foreign and domestic banks, which combined have extended credit facilities to the Company totaling $61,640,000. As of September 30, 2007, the Company had $33,288,000 outstanding under these credit facilities. During the quarter ended September 30, 2007, the Company made long and short term debt payments totaling $3,852 which is reflected in financing activities above.
     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 credit agreement with LaSalle Bank National Association.
     At September 30, 2007 and June 30, 2007, the Company did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as

17


 

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 September 30, 2007 and the effect such obligations are expected to have on its liquidity and cash flow in future periods (in thousands):

     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, 2007.

     The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

procedures as of the end of our fiscal quarter September 30, 2007, the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to achieve their stated purpose. However, there is no assurance that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures will operate effectively under all circumstances. No changes were made to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2007, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially effect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
