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 and curing systems, and related services and parts.
     The Company sells its products both to printing press manufacturers (“OEMs”) who incorporate the Company’s products into their own printing press systems for sale to printers and publishers and 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 in 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, effect on 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 products in 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, 2011,

Table of Contents

2010 and 2009, net sales of Cleaning Systems represented approximately 48.7%, 56.9% and 52.2% of the Company’s net sales, respectively.
     UV/IR Systems. The company’s Ultra Violet (UV) curing and Infra-Red (IR) drying systems and related consumables are used to accelerate the drying (curing) of inks and coatings on all sorts of industrial printing presses, along with some industrial applications. The technology speeds up the actual printing and post-printing processes, reduces waste, improves quality, along with enhancing the appearance and durability of the finished products. In addition, the UV systems eliminate the need for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in some inks and coatings, which reduces the environmental impact of printing. In fiscal years ended June 30, 2011, 2010 and 2009, net sales of UV/IR Systems represented approximately 12.9%, 2.9% and 3.6% 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, 2011, 2010 and 2009, net sales of Fluid Management Systems represented approximately 16.0%, 16.5% and 20.0% 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 systems 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 provides a variety of anti-offset spray powders to the graphic arts industry. In the fiscal years ended June 30, 2011, 2010 and 2009, net sales of Other Products represented approximately 22.4%, 23.6% and 24.1% 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 10 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 incur significant 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, Swedish krona and the British pound. 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, 2011, 2010 and 2009:

     In North, Central and South America, the Company operates through its U.S. subsidiaries and throughout Central and South America through dealers. 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 Japan, China and India. The Company also operates in Australia through its Australian subsidiary. 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. 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 the objective of 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 85 employees devoted to marketing and sales activities in its three principal markets and more than a number of 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, 2011, approximately 38% of the Company’s net sales were to OEMs and approximately 62% were directly to printers.
     Support. The Company is committed to after-sales service and support of its products throughout the world. Baldwin employs approximately 92 service technicians, who are supported 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 $36,579 as of June 30, 2011, $33,917 as of June 30, 2010 and $38,693 as of June 30, 2009.
     Customers. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, 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 14% and 15% of the Company’s net sales and trade accounts receivable, respectively. The ten largest customers of Baldwin (including KBA) accounted for approximately, 40%, 39% and 48%, respectively, of the Company’s net sales for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2011, 2010 and 2009. 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 various centers of competence for its product offerings. 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 works globally to coordinate its activities and focuses attention on opportunities within the respective markets, while avoiding duplicative efforts within the Company.

Table of Contents

     Baldwin employs approximately 85 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, 2011, 2010 and 2009 were approximately 9.0%, 9.7% and 8.9% of the Company’s net sales in each such fiscal year, respectively.
Patents
     The Company owns a number of patents and has 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 assembly and quality control, through a number of operating subsidiaries. In North America, the Company has facilities in Kansas, Illinois and Pennsylvania. In Europe, the Company has facilities in Germany, Sweden and the U.K. 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, its 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 changing demands of the printing and publishing industry.
Employees
     At July 1, 2011, adjusting for terminations on June 30, 2011, the Company employed 512 persons (plus 50 temporary and part-time employees) of which 180 are production employees, 85 are marketing, sales and customer service employees, 177 are development, engineering and technical service employees and 70 are management and administrative employees. In Europe, some employees are represented by various unions under contracts with indefinite terms: in Sweden, approximately 42 of the Company’s 73 employees are represented by the Ledarna (SALF), Metall, or Svenska Industritjanstemanna Forbundet unions; in Germany, approximately 80 of the Company’s 173 employees are represented by the IG Metall (Metalworkers 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 impact of continuing economic difficulties, increased competition in the printing equipment industry, the introduction and market acceptance of new and alternative printing and information distribution 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 for the Company’s products and consumables, and the timing of new product announcements and releases by the Company or its competitors. Finally, the operating results of the Company are dependent upon management’s ability to control manufacturing costs as well as operating expenses in view of the Company’s business environment.
     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 utilizes 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

7


Table of Contents

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 and 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, British pound, 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 its 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 condition.
     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 2011, the Company had one significant customer that individually accounted for 14% of net sales. The Company anticipates, but cannot assure, that this customer will continue to be significant in fiscal 2012. 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 40% of the Company’s net sales for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011.
     Banking and financing relationships. The Company’s continued effective operating presence in the marketplace is dependent upon its financing arrangements with its banks. The Company cannot predict if those relationships will always be supportive.
Industry Risks
     If the United States and other significant global economies are impacted by a recession, the demand for the Company’s products could remain lower 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.

Table of Contents

     Financial markets throughout the world have experienced disruption, including volatility in securities prices, diminished liquidity and credit availability, failure and potential failures of major financial institutions and unprecedented government support of financial institutions. These developments along with any extended 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. Reduced capital spending by OEMs and end users has already adversely affected and may continue to adversely affect the Company’s product sales, which could necessitate further testing for impairment of goodwill, other intangible assets, and long-lived assets and may require an additional valuation allowance with respect to the Company’s deferred tax assets. In addition, cost reduction actions may be necessary which would lead to additional restructuring charges. As credit in financial markets tightens, the general economic downturn has adversely affected 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, and in the event of continued contraction in the Company’s sales, could lead to an additional write-down of inventory.
     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;
 
    influence and respond to emerging industry standards and other technological changes; and
 
    adjust products and services to accommodate substitution of non-traditional digital technologies for traditional print on paper.
     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 the Company’s ability to report its financial condition and results of operations accurately or on a timely basis. As a result, current and potential stockholders could lose confidence in the Company’s financial reporting, which could harm its business and the trading price of its 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.

     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.
Risks associated with indebtedness
     The Company has indebtedness. As of June 30, 2011, the Company’s total indebtedness was $24,213. Borrowings under the Company’s Credit Agreement with Bank of America, N.A., certain other Lenders (the “Credit Agreement”) are secured by the assets of the Company. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Company is required to satisfy certain financial covenants. At June 30, 2011, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants contained in its Credit Agreement.
     The Company expects to continue to be in compliance with the covenants in the Credit Agreement, as amended, but a significant decline in the Company’s financial performance could have a material adverse effect on the Company, including the Company’s ability to retain its existing financing or obtain additional financing; or any such financing may not be available on terms favorable to the Company. The Company’s ability to make expected repayments of borrowings under its Credit Agreement and to meet its other debt or contractual obligations (including compliance with applicable financial covenants) will depend upon the Company’s future performance and its cash flows from operations, both of which are subject to prevailing economic conditions and financial, business, and other known and unknown risks and uncertainties, certain of which are beyond the Company’s control.
     The Company’s Credit Agreement matures July 2, 2012, and the Company may be unable to renew or replace this financing. The Company is in discussions regarding replacement of its Credit Agreement and anticipates finalizing a replacement Credit Agreement prior to July 2, 2012 although there are no assurances that such agreement will be completed by the loan maturity date.

     Baldwin is involved from time to time in various legal proceedings, 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.

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 such 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, 2011, 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 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

14


Table of Contents

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.
     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 varying terms and conditions depending on the nature of the product sold and the geographic location of the customer. The Company’s revenues also include installation and service contracts. The Company may also enter into multi-element revenue arrangements that may consist of multiple deliverables of its product and service offerings. The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability of the sale price is reasonably assured. In addition to these general revenue recognition criteria, the following specific revenue recognition policies are followed:
     Products and Equipment — For product and equipment sales (one deliverable only), revenue recognition generally occurs when products or equipment have been shipped, risk of loss has transferred to the customer, objective evidence exists that customer acceptance provisions have been met, no significant obligations remain and an allowance for discounts, returns and customer incentives can be reliably estimated. Recorded revenues are reduced by these allowances. The Company bases its estimates of these allowances on historical experience taking into consideration the type of products sold, the type of customer, and the specific type of transaction in each arrangement.
     Services — Revenue for services is generally recognized at completion of the contractually required services.
     Multiple-Element Arrangements — In July 2010 the Company adopted ASC Update No. 2009-13, “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements.” The consensus in Update No. 2009-13 supersedes certain guidance in Topic 605 (formerly EITF Issue No. 00-21, Multiple-Element Arrangements) and requires the Company to allocate arrangement consideration at the inception of an arrangement to all of its deliverables based on their relative selling prices. The consensus eliminated the use of the residual method of allocation and requires the use of the relative-selling-price method in all circumstances in which the Company recognizes revenue for an arrangement with multiple deliverables subject to ASC 605-25.
     The new guidance changed the criteria required to (1) separate deliverables into separate units of accounting when deliverables are sold in a bundled arrangement and (2) to allocate the arrangement’s consideration to each unit in the arrangement (such as, equipment, installation or commissioning services). The Company now determines an estimated selling price for each separate deliverable following a hierarchy of evidence — Vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”), Third Party Evidence (“TPE”) and, if VSOE and TPE do not exist, best estimate of selling price (“BESP”).
Arrangements with customers may include multiple deliverables, including any combination of products, equipment and services. For the Company’s multiple-element arrangements, deliverables are separated into more than one unit of accounting when (i) the delivered element(s) have value to the customer on a stand-alone basis, and (ii) delivery of the undelivered element(s) is probable and substantially in the control of the Company. Based on the new accounting guidance adopted July 1, 2010, revenue is then allocated to each unit of accounting based on the estimated selling price determined using a hierarchy of evidence based first on VSOE if it exists, based next on TPE if VSOE does not exist, and finally, if both VSOE and TPE do not exist, based on BESP.
    VSOE — The price of a deliverable when the Company regularly sells it on a stand -alone basis.
     Typically, the Company is unable to determine VSOE for the installation and commissioning services portion, as well as, the equipment portion of a multiple-element arrangement. Since the Company does not sell its installation and commissioning services on a stand-alone basis, the Company is not able to determine VSOE for these portions of a multiple-element arrangement. In addition, in certain instances, similar equipment included in a multiple-element arrangement is sold separately in stand-alone

15


Table of Contents

arrangements as customers may perform installations themselves. The Company has determined that the applicability of this stand-alone pricing is not appropriate to serve as the VSOE for equipment in multiple-element arrangements since this pricing considers the geographies in which the products or services are sold, major product and service groups, customer classification (OEM versus End User) and other market variables.
    TPE — Third party (competitor, subcontractors, etc.) sales prices for the same or largely interchangeable products or services to similar customers in stand-alone sales. TPE can only be used if VSOE is not available.
     Generally, the Company’s strategy for many of its products differs from that of its peers and its offerings contain a level of customization and differentiation such that the comparable pricing of products with similar functionality sold by other companies cannot be obtained. Furthermore, the Company is unable to reliably determine what similar competitor products’ selling prices are on a stand-alone basis. Therefore, the Company is typically not able to determine TPE for the equipment portion of a multiple-element arrangement. However, there are others (subcontractors) in the industry with sufficient knowledge about the installation and commissioning process that the Company uses on occasion to perform these services. Overall, installation and commissioning services may vary, due in part, to the size and complexity of the installation and commissioning, however, these subcontractor rates may provide a basis for TPE after considering the type of services to be performed (i.e. mechanical, electrical) and negotiated subcontractor rates.
    BESP — When the Company is unable to establish VSOE or TPE, the Company uses BESP. The objective of BESP is to determine the price at which the Company would transact a sale if the product or service were sold on a stand-alone basis.
     The Company determines BESP for a deliverable in a multiple element arrangement by first collecting all reasonably available data points including sales, cost and margin analysis of the product, and other inputs based on the Company’s normal pricing practices. Second, the Company makes any reasonably required adjustments to the data based on market conditions and Company-specific factors (customer, cost structure, etc.). Third, the Company stratifies the data points, when appropriate, based on customer, magnitude of the transaction and sales volume. In addition, the Company has negotiated supply agreements, primarily with large OEM customers, for pricing some of its products and installation and commissioning services. The Company has experience selling the products and installation and commissioning services at the published price list and considers this to be BESP when contracting with customers under the supply agreements.
The determination of BESP is a formal process within the Company that includes review and approval by the Company’s management.
     After determination of the estimated selling price of each deliverable in a multiple-element arrangement, the arrangement consideration is then allocated using the relative selling price method. Under the relative selling price method, the estimated selling price for each deliverable is compared to the sum of the estimated selling prices for all deliverables. The percentage that is calculated for each deliverable is then multiplied by the total contractual value of the multiple-element arrangement to determine the revenue allocated to each deliverable.
     The revenue allocated to each deliverable is then recorded in accordance with existing revenue recognition guidance for stand-alone product/equipment sales and unbundled services.
     Prior to the adoption of the amended guidance for contracts which contain multiple element arrangements the Company separated the arrangement into its stand-alone elements for revenue recognition purposes: (i) when the delivered item had value to the customer on a stand-alone basis, (ii) there was objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered item and (iii) the arrangement did not include a general right of return. If all these criteria were met revenue was recognized on each element as a separate unit of accounting. If these criteria were not met, the arrangement was accounted for as one unit of accounting which would result in revenue being deferred until the last undelivered contractual element was fulfilled.

16


Table of Contents

     Based on the Company’s current sales strategies, the newly adopted accounting guidance for revenue recognition did not have a significant effect on the timing and pattern of revenue recognition for sales in periods after the initial adoption when applied to multiple-element arrangements.
Additional Revenue Recognition Policies
     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 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.
     Products are generally ordered on purchase orders, 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 or product 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 in the circumstances.
     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.
     Baldwin provides reserves for estimated obsolescence in inventory 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 reserves may be required. 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 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

17


Table of Contents

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. In fiscal year 2011 the tax rate was negatively impacted by recognition of valuation allowances. The Company recorded valuation allowances of approximately $11,458 on certain domestic and foreign deferred tax assets and $1,826 on a domestic capital loss carryforward including capital loss and foreign tax credit carryforwards of $1,798 and $1,469, respectively.
     The Company tests goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually in May of each fiscal year. The Company has identified six reporting units in accordance with ASC 350-20-35 as the lowest level of an entity that is a business, that can be distinguished from other activities, operations, and assets of the entity and for which discrete financial information is available and regularly reviewed by management.
     The fair value of each reporting unit is determined utilizing an equal weighting of 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. The Company considers the combination of valuation techniques, which utilizes internal analysis and external valuations and utilizes both income and market approaches to determine fair value, provides a better estimate of the fair value of the reporting unit as opposed to reliance on one valuation technique. Significant estimates and assumptions are inherent in the valuations that reflect a consideration of other marketplace participants, the amount and timing of future cash flows (including expected growth rates and profitability) and the discount rate applied to cash flows. Unanticipated market or macroeconomic events or circumstances may occur that could affect the accuracy or validity of the estimates and assumptions used in the determination of fair value. A significant reduction in the estimated fair values could result in impairment charges that could materially affect financial statements in any given year.
     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 would be 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. ASC 350 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.
     At June 30, 2011 the annual impairment test for goodwill indicated that all reporting unit fair values exceeded their respective recorded values. However, the estimated fair value of the German reporting unit which exceeded its carrying value by approximately 12% has been disproportionally impacted by the economic downturn. The current valuation has the reporting unit returning to sales and earnings more consistent with the Company’s long-term business plans. Failure to achieve the plans or further or continued deterioration of macro economic conditions could result in a valuation that could trigger an impairment of goodwill. The amount of goodwill at the German reporting unit is approximately $13 million.

     During fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 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. A two-step process was used to test goodwill impairment. The first step was to determine if there was 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 its estimated fair value. Upon indication of impairment, a second step would be 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, and the impact of the deteriorating economic and market conditions that led to a reduced demand for the Company’s products supplied by its Japan reporting unit, 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.
     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 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 method 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.

Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2011 versus Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2010
Consolidated Results
     Net Sales. Net sales for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 increased $22,300, or 16%, to $160,899 from $138,599 for the year ended June 30, 2010. Foreign currency translation had a favorable impact of $4,537. The acquired graphic arts UV curing business contributed net sales of approximately $17,052 during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011.
     In Europe, net sales increased approximately $8,206, including $572 of favorable foreign currency translation. The increase was primarily attributable to the additional revenue from the acquired UV curing business. Partially offsetting this increase was reduced demand for the Company’s products as a result of the global economic contraction, lack of available financing sources for equipment purchases by our customers, and OEM press manufacturers experiencing reduced shipment volume primarily in the first nine months in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011.
     Net Sales in the Americas increased $9,454 and reflects additional sales of products acquired in the UV business acquisition coupled with improved cleaning and spray dampening equipment sales.
     In Asia/Australia, net sales increased approximately $4,640, including $3,965 of favorable foreign currency translation. The increase reflects higher shipments of cleaning and spray dampening equipment to the markets in China, partially offset by lower newspaper equipment shipments in Japan.

     Gross Profit. Gross profit for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 increased to $47,043 (29.2% of sales) versus $41,371 (29.8% of sales) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. Net, favorable foreign currency translation increased gross profit by $1,428 for the 2011 fiscal year. Margins for the 2011 fiscal year were negatively impacted primarily by a non-cash inventory write-down of $1.0 million in the fiscal fourth quarter. Excluding the impact of the non-cash write-down of inventory, gross margin was 30.0%. Ongoing margin initiatives, (global sourcing, manufacturing in lower cost countries and standardization of components and controls), combined with higher margins from the UV curing business, helped offset the negative impact from lower equipment sales outside of the Americas in the first nine month period of fiscal year 2011.
     Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) of $35,967 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 increased $4,284, or 14%, versus the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. Foreign currency translation had an unfavorable impact of $1,176 in fiscal year 2011.
     G&A expenses for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 increased $2,641, or 14%, including unfavorable foreign currency translation of $655 in fiscal year 2011. The increase primarily reflects additional G&A expenses of $1,619 associated with the acquired graphic arts UV curing business. In addition, the Company incurred approximately $1,006 of costs associated with termination agreements with the Company’s former CEO and CFO, and other professional/consulting fees of $1,190 primarily related to an internal controls investigation at its subsidiary in Japan. Partially offsetting these increases were lower fees of $911 incurred in fiscal year 2010 related to an investigation into internal control matters, lower acquisition and bank amendment fees of $580, lower bad debt expense of $210 and lower costs associated with savings from announced restructurings.
     Selling expenses for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 increased $1,643, or 13%, and include unfavorable currency translation of $521 in fiscal year 2011. The increase primarily reflects additional selling expenses of $1,912 associated with the acquired Nordson UV curing business, partially offset by lower use of outside subcontractors, lower expenses associated with trade shows and savings from restructuring actions.
     Engineering and Development Expenses. Engineering and development expenses for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 increased $1,032, or 8%, including $378 of unfavorable currency translation in fiscal year 2011. The increase primarily reflects additional expenses of $681 associated with the acquired Nordson UV curing business.
     Restructuring. The Company recorded $2,966 of restructuring costs during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 versus $540 in the comparable prior year. The current year restructuring plan was designed to achieve operational efficiencies in Germany, Japan, Sweden and the UK and consists of employee terminations, consolidation of facilities and fixed asset write downs. The FY 2010 plan was designed to achieve operational efficiencies in Germany and consisted entirely of employee terminations.
     Legal Settlement. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, the Company recorded a net gain on the settlement of a patent infringement lawsuit of $9,266. Please refer to Note 20 in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of this settlement.
     Interest, Net and Other. Interest expense, net, of $2,133 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 decreased $925 versus the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. Fiscal year 2010 interest expense included costs incurred during the first quarter of fiscal year 2010 related to an amendment to the Company’s Credit Agreement. Certain costs associated with the amendment, together with legacy deferred financing costs aggregating approximately $1,183, were charged to expense during the quarter ended September 30, 2009. After giving effect to these expenses, interest expense increased $258. The increase was attributable to higher debt and interest rates.
     Other income and expense, net, was an expense of $112 versus an expense of $406 for the periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and primarily reflects net foreign exchange transaction gains and losses.
     Gain on Bargain Purchase. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, the Company completed the previously announced acquisition of the Nordson UV curing business and recorded a net gain of $2,960 on the bargain purchase, representing the excess of net assets acquired over the consideration paid. Please refer to Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

     Income (Loss) Before Income Taxes from continuing operations. Loss from continuing operations before income taxes for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 was $8,634 compared to income from continuing operations before income taxes of $4,443 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. The loss for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 includes the restructuring charges of $2,966 mentioned above. The income for fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 included the previously mentioned gain on legal settlement of $9,266 and the gain on bargain purchase of $2,960.
     Income Taxes.
     The Company recorded an income tax expense of $3,508 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 versus an expense of $937 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. The effective tax rates of -40.6% and 21.1% for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively differ from the statutory rate of 34%.
     In fiscal year 2011 the tax rate was negatively impacted by recognition of valuation allowances. The Company recorded valuation allowances of approximately $11,458 on certain domestic and foreign deferred tax assets and including capital loss and foreign tax credit carryforwards of $1,798 and $1,469, respectively. In fiscal year 2010 the tax rate benefited by release of foreign contingency reserves, the gain on the Nordson UV bargain purchase and the foreign rate differential offset by negative impacts of adjustments to valuation allowance related to a foreign tax credit and net operating loss utilization. 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 (Loss) from continuing operations. The Company’s net loss from continuing operations was $14,605 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 compared to net income of $3,877 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010.
     Discontinued Operations
     During the quarter ended March 31, 2011 the Company announced its decision to discontinue its non-core food blending and packaging business. As a result of this decision, and having met the criteria to be reported as a discontinued operation, the assets, liabilities, results of operation and cash flows of the food blending and packaging business are classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
     Additionally, as a result of its decision to discontinue the food blending and packaging business, the Company performed an assessment as to the recoverability of goodwill, intangibles and fixed assets associated with the discontinued operation. Based on these assessments, the Company recorded a pre-tax impairment charge of $2,449 related to goodwill, intangibles and fixed assets associated with the discontinued operation. The food blending business was sold on June 3, 2011.

Overview for Fiscal Year ended June 30, 2010
     The market for printing equipment faced and continued to face significant economic challenges in fiscal year 2010. Several of the Company’s largest customers (major OEM press manufacturers) 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 implemented cost reduction and restructuring programs designed to mitigate the impact of the continuing weak market for printing equipment.
    Revenues declined 17.3%, versus the prior year comparable period.
 
    Backlog of $33,917 at June 30, 2010 decreased 12% versus June 30, 2009.
 
    Order intake was down 18% versus the prior year comparable period.
 
    Cash flow provided by operations during the year ended June 30, 2010 of $11,507 reflected cash generated from operations supplemented by cash received from settlement of a long standing patent infringement lawsuit.
 
    The Company recorded additional restructuring charges of $540.
 
    As of June 30, 2010 the Company successfully completed the previously announced acquisition of Nordson UV, a manufacturer of ultraviolet curing systems, lamps and parts.
     See discussion below related to consolidated results of operations and liquidity and capital resources from continuing operations. Amounts in the following discussion have been adjusted from prior year to reflect the discontinued food blending and packaging business.
Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2010 versus Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2009
Consolidated Results
     Net Sales. Net sales for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 decreased $29,073, or 17.3%, to $138,599 from $167,672 for the year ended June 30, 2009. Currency rate fluctuations effecting the Company’s overseas operations increased net sales for the current period by $4,490. The revenue decrease primarily reflects weakness in demand for the Company’s equipment offerings.
     In Europe, net sales decreased approximately $12,852, including $1,313 of favorable effects from exchange rate fluctuations. The decrease was attributable to reduced demand for the Company’s products as a result of the global economic contraction and lack of available financing sources for equipment purchases by customers. OEM press manufacturers in Germany experienced reduced orders and sales, and printers and publishers have deferred purchases of the Company’s equipment until final demand and liquidity return to the market.
     In Asia/Australia, particularly Japan, net sales decreased approximately $9,702, including $3,177 of favorable effects from exchange rate fluctuations. The decrease reflects the impact of the slowing Asian economies in the commercial and newspaper markets in Japan for the Company’s cleaning equipment.
     Net Sales in the Americas decreased $6,519, primarily reflecting lower demand in the U.S. commercial market for cleaning systems.
     Gross Profit. Gross profit for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 decreased to $41,371 (29.1% of sales) versus $47,184 (28.1% of sales) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009. Fiscal year 2009 gross profit was negatively impacted by an inventory write-off in the U.S. of $4,250 or 2.5% associated with a 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. operations to reach target goals for inventory utilization. Currency rate fluctuations increased gross profit by $1,585 in the 2010 fiscal year. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased after giving effect to the inventory write-off, (to 28.1% from 30.6%) primarily as a result of continued pricing pressures from OEMs and end users and unfavorable overhead absorption related to the reduced volumes.

Partially offsetting these impacts were lower costs associated with announced restructuring and cost saving initiatives resulting in lower direct and indirect labor and associated fringe benefits, lower subcontractor and lower technical service costs.
     Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) of $31,683 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 decreased $3,383, or 10%, versus the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009. Currency rate fluctuations effecting the Company’s overseas operations increased SG&A expenses for fiscal year 2010 by $898.
     G&A expenses for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 decreased $1,644, or 8%, including unfavorable exchange effects of $427 compared to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009. This decrease primarily reflects cost reduction actions leading to reductions in compensation, benefit costs, outside service costs, insurance, travel, annual meeting and investor relations costs, together with reduced cash discounts and lower bad debt expense. These reductions were partially offset by approximately $900 of costs related to a special investigation into violation of the Company’s internal control procedures, expenses associated with the Nordson UV acquisition of $330 and bank amendment fees of $250.
     Selling expenses for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 decreased $1,739, or 12%, including unfavorable exchange effects of $471 compared to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009. The decrease in selling expenses reflected reduced salary, benefit and other associated employee costs commensurate with reductions in headcount, cost reduction actions and the lower level of sales activity.
     Engineering and Development Expenses. Engineering and development expenses for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 decreased $1,522, or 10%, and included $412 of unfavorable exchange effects versus the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 and reflected 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, 2010 and June 30, 2009.
     Restructuring. The Company recorded $540 of restructuring costs during the fourth quarter of fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 versus $4,747 in the comparable prior year period. The current year restructuring plan was designed to achieve operational efficiencies in Germany and consists of employee terminations. The fiscal year 2009 plan consisted primarily of reductions in employment levels and the consolidation of production facilities in Germany in response to continued weak market conditions.
     Impairment of Goodwill. The Company’s annual impairment testing of goodwill for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 indicated no impairment. In fiscal year 2009, as a result of the deteriorating macro-economic environment, the continued market volatility and the Company’s decreased market capitalization, the Company’s goodwill impairment assessment indicated an impairment of goodwill and the Company recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $5,658 related to its Japanese reporting unit during the third quarter of fiscal year 2009.
     Legal Settlement. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, the Company recorded a net gain on the settlement of a patent infringement lawsuit of $9,266. Please refer to Note 20 in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of this settlement.
     Interest, Net and Other. Interest expense, net, of $3,058 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 increased $790 versus the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009. Interest expense included costs incurred during the first quarter of fiscal year 2010 related to an amendment to the Company’s Credit Agreement. Certain costs associated with the amendment, together with legacy deferred financing costs aggregating approximately $1,183, were charged to expense during the quarter ended September 30, 2009. The increase was partially offset by $423 resulting from lower average debt and lower interest rates in fiscal year 2010 versus the year ended June 30, 2009. Currency rate fluctuations had no impact in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010.
     Other income and expense, net, was an expense of $406 versus income of $867 for the periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and primarily reflected net foreign exchange gains and losses.

     Gain on Bargain Purchase. During the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, the Company completed the previously announced acquisition of the Nordson UV curing business and recorded a net gain of $2,960 on the bargain purchase, representing the excess of net assets acquired over the consideration paid. Please refer to Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.
     Income (Loss) Before Income Taxes for Continuing Operations. Income before income taxes for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 was $4,443 compared to a loss before income taxes of $14,677 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009. The income before income taxes includes the previously mentioned gain on the legal settlement of $9,266 and the gain on the bargain purchase of $2,960. The loss before income taxes for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 included the previously mentioned goodwill impairment charge of $5,658, restructuring charges of $4,747 and additional inventory reserve totaling $4,250.
     Income Taxes. The Company recorded an income tax expense of $1,937 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 versus a benefit of $2,328 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009. The effective tax rates of 22.8% and 14.6% for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, differ from the statutory rate. In fiscal year 2010 the tax rate benefited by the release of foreign contingency reserves, the gain on bargain purchase and a foreign rate differential offset by negative impacts of adjustments to the valuation allowance related to a foreign tax credit and net operating loss utilization. In fiscal year 2009 the tax rate was negatively impacted by: (a) no benefit recognized for losses incurred in certain countries as the realization of such benefits was not more likely than not, and (b) 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 Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations. The Company’s net income was $3,506 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 compared to a net loss of $(12,349) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009.
     Non-GAAP Financial Measures. Consolidated EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure within the meaning of Regulation G promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. This non-GAAP measure is provided because management of the Company uses this financial measure as an indicator of business performance in maintaining and evaluating the Company’s on-going financial results and trends. The Company believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to this non-GAAP measure in assessing the performance of the Company’s ongoing operations and liquidity and when planning and forecasting future periods. This non-GAAP measure also facilitates management’s internal comparisons to the Company’s historical operating results and liquidity.

     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.

     Net cash from operating activities for the year ended June 30, 2011 decreased $12,148 compared to fiscal year 2010. The decrease in cash from operating activities was primarily attributable to: (i) receipt of proceeds from a legal settlement of $9,266 in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 and (ii) an increase in working capital requirements due to higher sales in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 compared to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010.
     Net cash from operating activities for the year ended June 30, 2010 increased $8,918 compared to fiscal year ended June 30, 2009. The increase in cash provided was primarily attributable to: (i) receipt of proceeds from a legal settlement of $9,266, (ii) a decrease in working capital requirements due to lower sales in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 compared to fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 and (iii) lower restructuring payments. Partially offsetting these increases in cash was lower operating income, after adjusting for one-time items, in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 compared to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 primarily as the result of lower sales..

In addition, in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 the Company received $728 of cash associated with the Nordson UV curing business acquisition.

     The Company’s primary source of external financing is its Credit Agreement, as amended (the “Credit Agreement”), with Bank of America (“BofA”) which has a term that ends on July 2, 2012. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are secured in the U.S. by a pledge of substantially all of the Company’s domestic assets (approximately $17,000) and in Europe by a pledge of the Company’s European assets and the stock of the Company’s European subsidiaries and certain Asian subsidiaries.
     Under the terms of waiver and amendment agreements entered into in September 2010 and May 2011 to the Credit Agreement the Company issued to the Lenders two tranches of Warrants. The first tranche (“the 2010 Warrants”) has a term of 10 years to purchase 352,671 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock for $0.01 per share and contains a put provision that enables the holders after September 28, 2012 to request a cash settlement of the then fair market value of the 2010 Warrants in an amount not to exceed $1.50 per share. The second tranche (“the 2011 Warrants”) also has a term of ten years to purchase 372,374 shares of the Company’s Class A Common

Stock for $0.01 per share. The 2011 Warrants also contain a put provision that enables the holders after May 16, 2013 to request a cash settlement of the then fair market value of the 2011 Warrants in an amount not to exceed $1.50 per share.
     On October 13, 2011, the Company entered into Amendment No. 11 to the Credit Agreement (“Amendment No. 11”) with certain lenders and BofA as agent. Among other things, Amendment No. 11 (i) extended the maturity date of the revolving Credit Agreement from November 21, 2011 to July 2, 2012, (ii) adjusted the interest payment provisions pursuant to which euro and U.S. dollar borrowings bear interest at LIBOR plus 7.50%, and (iii) increased the incremental interest rate for the deferred interest to be paid at maturity. As part of the consideration for Amendment No. 11, the Company will (a) pay the Lenders a potential fee of $1,100 as follows: $200 upon signing of Amendment No. 11, and scheduled weekly installments ranging from $200 to $50 beginning February 10, 2012 through April 20, 2012 unless the Credit Agreement is fully refinanced prior to the payment due dates, in which case any remaining payments will be waived, (b) grant to the Lenders ten year Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 434,200 shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.01 per share, with a put provision exercisable after two (2) years that enables the holder to request a cash settlement equal to the then fair market value of the Warrants in an amount not to exceed $1.50 per share for each share issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants (the “October 2011 Warrants”); and (c) if the Credit Agreement is not refinanced prior to certain scheduled dates, the Company may grant to the Lenders additional ten year Warrants in four monthly installments beginning March 1, 2012 and on the first day of each month through June 1, 2012, to purchase an aggregate of 1,592,067 shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company (equal to an amount not to exceed 20 percent of the issued and outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company on September 27, 2010) each at an exercise price of $0.01 per share, and each with a put provision exercisable after two (2) years that enables the holder to request a cash settlement equal to the then fair market value of the Warrants in an amount not to exceed $1.50 per share for each share issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants.
     The Credit Agreement, as amended by Amendment No 11, continues to require that the Company satisfy certain minimum EBITDA, Minimum Currency Adjusted Net Sales, Capital Expenditures, and Minimum Liquidity tests. The Company anticipates that it will be in compliance with these covenants for the remainder of the term of the Credit Agreement. However the Company’s ability to meet its debt obligations (including compliance with applicable financial covenants) is dependent upon the Company's future performance and its cash flows from operations, both of which are subject to prevailing economic conditions and financial, business, and other known and unknown risks and uncertainties, certain of which are beyond the Company’s control.

Table of Contents

     Cash provided by financing activities of $925 for the period ended June 30, 2011 primarily reflected additional borrowings against the Company’s domestic and foreign credit facilities.
     Cash used by financing activities of $10,213 for the period ended June 30, 2010 primarily reflected the partial use of net cash proceeds from the legal settlement of a long standing patent infringement lawsuit of approximately $7,700 to repay the term loan under the Credit Agreement in accordance with the provisions of the July 31, 2009 amendment to the Credit Agreement. In addition, cash used for financing activities reflected the scheduled term loan payments of approximately $2,507 and payment of debt financing costs of $818. These payments were partially offset by borrowings under the revolving loan under the Credit Agreement of $693 and advances associated with the financing of the Nordson UV acquisition.
     During fiscal year 2009, cash from financing activities of $3,614 primarily reflected 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 were restricted by the terms of the Credit Agreement amendment on July 31, 2009; and no repurchases were made during fiscal year 2010 or fiscal year 2011.
     During each of the fiscal years ended June 30, 2011, 2010 and 2009, the Company announced restructuring initiatives in response to the challenges facing the market for printing equipment. The restructuring initiatives were designed to reduce the Company’s worldwide cost base, consolidate facilities, exit a non core business, and strengthen its competitive position. The Company made cash payments against these plans of $2,045 in fiscal year 2011, $1,899 in fiscal year 2010 and $3,051 in fiscal year 2009 and anticipates a total of approximately $2,000 in addition to be paid through fiscal year 2012. The Company anticipates annual savings from the fiscal year 2011 restructuring plans of approximately $6,000.
     The Company maintains relationships with foreign and domestic banks, which combined, have extended short and long term credit facilities to the Company totaling $28,688. As of June 30, 2011, the Company had $23,208 outstanding (including Letters of Credit of $1,127 under these facilities. The amount available under these facilities at June 30, 2011 was $2,280.
     The Company believes that its cash flow from operations, along with its available bank lines of credit is sufficient to finance its operations and other capital requirements over the remaining term of the Credit Agreement which expires July 2, 2012. However, the Company believes that, if needed, other available sources of liquidity could be limited. The Company is in discussions regarding replacement of its Credit Agreement and anticipates finalizing a replacement Credit Agreement prior to July 2, 2012 although there are no assurances that such agreement will be completed by the loan maturity date.
     At June 30, 2011 and 2010, 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.

(1)   the amount includes estimated benefit payments as well as estimated contributions for fiscal year 2012 (See Note 12).
 
(2)   At June 30, 2011, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $1,693. A reasonable estimate of the timing related to the $1,693 is not possible.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
     In October 2009, the FASB issued ASC Update No. 2009-13, “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements.” The consensus in Update No. 2009-13 supersedes certain guidance in Topic 605 (formerly EITF Issue No. 00-21, Multiple-Element Arrangements) and requires an entity to allocate arrangement consideration at the inception of an arrangement to all of its deliverables based on their relative selling prices. The consensus eliminates the use of the residual method of allocation and requires the use of the relative-selling-price method in all circumstances in which an entity recognizes revenue for an arrangement with multiple deliverables subject to ASC 605-25. The Company adopted Update No. 2009-13 as of July 1, 2010. The adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial position.
     Accounting Standards Codification Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income,” was amended in June 2011 to require entities to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The amendment does not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income under current GAAP. This guidance is effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2012. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
     In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued revised authoritative guidance for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The guidance allows an entity the option to make a qualitative evaluation about the likelihood of goodwill impairment for a reporting unit. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, an entity determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing the quantitative two-step impairment test is unnecessary. Early adoption is permitted for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests if an entity’s financial statements for the most recent interim period have not yet been issued. The Company does not expect that adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

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, 2011, the Company had debt totaling $24,213 most of which bears interest at floating rates.
     The Company performed a sensitivity analysis as of June 30, 2011, 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 $242. 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 79% of its revenues from countries outside of the Americas for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011. 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, 2011 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 $1,202. 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. (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2011. Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included the financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(2). These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Baldwin Technology Company, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2011 and 2010, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2011 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 statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth, therein.

BALDWIN TECHNOLOGY COMPANY, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(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 Boca Raton, Florida, 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 a combination of write-off history, aging analysis and specific account evaluation. When a receivable balance is known to be uncollectable, it is written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts. 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, 2011, 2010 and 2009 were $167, $412 and ($1,025), 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 any of the fiscal years ended June

30, 2011, 2010 and 2009, and the effect of fair value hedge activities is not material to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the periods ended June 30, 2011, 2010 or 2009.
     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, 2011, 2010 and 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 14%, 14% and 13%, of the Company’s net sales for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and 15% and 14% of trade accounts receivable at June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Company’s ten largest customers accounted for approximately 40%, 39% and 48% of the Company’s net sales for each of the fiscal years ended June 30, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Foreign cash balances at June 30, 2011 and 2010 were $13,677 and $13,288, 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 using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. 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. Property, 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 $1,462, $1,412 and $1,346 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2011, 2010 and 2009, 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 Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, the Company concluded that no impairment of its long-lived assets existed at June 30, 2011 or at June 30, 2010.
     Stock Based Compensation. Stock-based compensation represents the cost related to stock-based awards granted to employees and directors. 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, (May 31) 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. ASC 350, Intangibles — Goodwill

and Other, 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.
     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 Japanese reporting unit during the third quarter of fiscal year 2009. The Company concluded based on its annual impairment tests that there were no goodwill impairments during either fiscal year 2011 or fiscal year 2010.
     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 $1,366, $1,253 and $1,427 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2011, 2010 and 2009, 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, scheduled reversal of temporary differences 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 approximate 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 ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” which established a framework for fair value and expanded disclosures about financial instruments.
     ASC 820 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
     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.

41


Table of Contents

     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, 2011, 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, and valued as Level 1 are comprised of marketable securities of $565. At June 30, 2011, 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.
     In addition to items that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, there are also assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis include certain long-lived assets (see Note 16, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”). The Company determined that the fair value measurements included in each of these assets and liabilities rely primarily on its assumptions as unobservable inputs that are not publicly available. As such, the Company has determined that each of these fair value measurements reside within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
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 for each product. Hence, the Company accrues estimated warranty costs at the time of sale and includes that cost 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 and in addition to the percentage of revenue discussed above. The Company accrued estimated future warranty and customer support obligations of $2,123 and $1,999 at June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, which are included in “Other accounts payable and accrued liabilities” (see Note 19).
Revenue Recognition. The Company’s products are sold with varying terms and conditions depending on the nature of the product sold and the geographic location of the customer. The Company’s revenues also include installation and service contracts. The Company may also enter into multi-element revenue arrangements that may consist of multiple deliverables of its product and service offerings. The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability of the sale price is reasonably assured. In addition to these general revenue recognition criteria, the following specific revenue recognition policies are followed:
     Products and Equipment — For product and equipment sales (one deliverable only), revenue recognition generally occurs when products or equipment have been shipped, risk of loss has transferred to the customer, objective evidence exists that customer acceptance provisions, if applicable, have been met, no significant obligations remain and, where applicable, an allowance for discounts, returns and customer incentives can be reliably estimated. Recorded revenues are reduced by these allowances. The Company bases its estimates of these allowances on historical experience taking into consideration the type of products sold, the type of customer, and the specific type of transaction in each arrangement.
     Services — Revenue for services is generally recognized at completion of the contractually required services.
     Multiple-Element Arrangements — In July 2010 the Company adopted ASC Update No. 2009-13, “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements.” The consensus in Update No. 2009-13 supersedes certain guidance in Topic 605 (formerly EITF Issue No. 00-21, Multiple-Element Arrangements) and requires the Company to allocate arrangement consideration at the inception of an arrangement to all of its deliverables based on their relative selling prices. The consensus eliminated the use of the residual method of allocation and requires the use of the relative-selling-price method in all circumstances in which the Company recognizes revenue for an arrangement with multiple deliverables subject to ASC 605-25.
     The new guidance changed the criteria required to (1) separate deliverables into separate units of accounting when deliverables are sold in a bundled arrangement and (2) to allocate the arrangement’s consideration to each unit in the arrangement (such as, equipment, installation or commissioning services). The Company now determines an estimated selling price for each separate deliverable following a hierarchy of evidence — Vendor-specific objective

42


Table of Contents

evidence (“VSOE”), Third Party Evidence (“TPE”) and, if VSOE and TPE do not exist, best estimate of selling price (“BESP”).
Arrangements with customers may include multiple deliverables, including any combination of products, equipment and services. For the Company’s multiple-element arrangements, deliverables are separated into more than one unit of accounting when (i) the delivered element(s) have value to the customer on a stand-alone basis, and (ii) delivery of the undelivered element(s) is probable and substantially in the control of the Company. Based on the new accounting guidance adopted July 1, 2010, revenue is then allocated to each unit of accounting based on the estimated selling price determined using a hierarchy of evidence based first on VSOE if it exists, based next on TPE if VSOE does not exist, and finally, if both VSOE and TPE do not exist, based on BESP.
    VSOE — The price of a deliverable when the Company regularly sells it on a stand -alone basis.
     Typically, the Company is unable to determine VSOE for the installation and commissioning services portion, as well as, the equipment portion of a multiple-element arrangement. Since the Company does not sell its installation and commissioning services on a stand-alone basis, the Company is not able to determine VSOE for these portions of a multiple-element arrangement. In addition, in certain instances, similar equipment included in a multiple-element arrangement is sold separately in stand-alone arrangements as customers may perform installations themselves. The Company has determined that the applicability of this stand-alone pricing is not appropriate to serve as the VSOE for equipment in multiple-element arrangements since this pricing considers the geographies in which the products or services are sold, major product and service groups, customer classification (OEM versus End User) and other market variables.
    TPE — Third party (competitor, subcontractors, etc) sales prices for the same or largely interchangeable products or services to similar customers in stand-alone sales. TPE can only be used if VSOE is not available.
     Generally, the Company’s strategy for many of its products differs from that of its peers and its offerings contain a level of customization and differentiation such that the comparable pricing of products with similar functionality sold by other companies cannot be obtained. Furthermore, the Company is unable to reliably determine what similar competitor products’ selling prices are on a stand-alone basis. Therefore, the Company is typically not able to determine TPE for the equipment portion of a multiple-element arrangement. However, there are others (subcontractors) in the industry with sufficient knowledge about the installation and commissioning process that the Company uses on occasion to perform these services. Overall, installation and commissioning services may vary, due in part, to the size and complexity of the installation and commissioning, however, these subcontractor rates may provide a basis for TPE after considering the type of services to be performed (i.e. mechanical, electrical) and negotiated subcontractor rates.
    BESP — When the Company is unable to establish VSOE or TPE, the Company uses BESP. The objective of BESP is to determine the price at which the Company would transact a sale if the product or service were sold on a stand-alone basis.
     The Company determines BESP for a deliverable in a multiple element arrangement by first collecting all reasonably available data points including sales, cost and margin analysis of the product, and other inputs based on the Company’s normal pricing practices. Second, the Company makes any reasonably required adjustments to the data based on market conditions and Company-specific factors (customer, cost structure, etc.). Third, the Company stratifies the data points, when appropriate, based on customer, magnitude of the transaction and sales volume. In addition, the Company has negotiated supply agreements, primarily with large OEM customers, for pricing some of its products and installation and commissioning services. The Company has experience selling the products and installation and commissioning services at the published price list and considers this to be BESP when contracting with customers under the supply agreements.

     After determination of the estimated selling price of each deliverable in a multiple-element arrangement, the arrangement consideration is then allocated using the relative selling price method. Under the relative selling price method, the estimated selling price for each deliverable is compared to the sum of the estimated selling prices for all deliverables. The percentage that is calculated for each deliverable is then multiplied by the total contractual value of the multiple-element arrangement to determine the revenue allocated to each deliverable.
     The revenue allocated to each deliverable is then recorded in accordance with existing revenue recognition guidance for stand alone product/equipment sales and unbundled services.
     Prior to the adoption of the amended guidance for contracts which contain multiple element arrangements the Company separated the arrangement into its stand-alone elements for revenue recognition purposes: (i) when the delivered item had value to the customer on a stand alone basis, (ii) there was objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered item and (iii) the arrangement did not include a general right of return. If all these criteria were met revenue was recognized on each element as a separate unit of accounting. If these criteria were not met, the arrangement was accounted for as one unit of accounting which would result in revenue being deferred until the last undelivered contractual element was fulfilled.
     Based on the Company’s current sales strategies, the newly adopted accounting guidance for revenue recognition did not have a significant effect on the timing and pattern of revenue recognition for sales in periods after the initial adoption when applied to multiple-element arrangements.
Additional Revenue Recognition Policies
     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 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.
     Products are generally ordered on purchase orders, 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 or product 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 in the circumstances.
     Shipping and Handling, and Advertising Costs. 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 $47, $141 and $147 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2011, 2010 and 2009, 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, which is not materially different than amortizing under an interest method, and are included in interest expense.

Table of Contents

     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 valuations, and goodwill and intangible valuations. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
     Recent Accounting Pronouncements.
     In October 2009, the FASB issued ASC Update No. 2009-13, “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements.” The consensus in Update No. 2009-13 supersedes certain guidance in Topic 605 (formerly EITF Issue No. 00-21, Multiple-Element Arrangements) and requires an entity to allocate arrangement consideration at the inception of an arrangement to all of its deliverables based on their relative selling prices. The consensus eliminates the use of the residual method of allocation and requires the use of the relative-selling-price method in all circumstances in which an entity recognizes revenue for an arrangement with multiple deliverables subject to ASC 605-25. The Company adopted Update No. 2009-13 as of July 1, 2010. The adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial position.
     Accounting Standards Codification Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income,” was amended in June 2011 to require entities to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The amendment does not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income under current GAAP. This guidance is effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2012. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
     In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued revised authoritative guidance for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The guidance allows an entity the option to make a qualitative evaluation about the likelihood of goodwill impairment for a reporting unit. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, an entity determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing the quantitative two-step impairment test is unnecessary. Early adoption is permitted for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests if an entity’s financial statements for the most recent interim period have not yet been issued. The Company does not expect that adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Note 3 — Discontinued Operations:
     During the quarter ended March 31, 2011 the Company decided to discontinue its non-core food blending and packaging business. As a result of this decision and having met the criteria to be reported as a discontinued operation, the assets, liabilities, results of operations and cash flows of the food blending and packaging business are classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

     Additionally, as a result of its decision to discontinue the food blending and packaging business, the Company performed an assessment as to the recoverability of goodwill, intangibles and fixed assets associated with the discontinued operation. Based on these assessments, the Company recorded a pre-tax impairment charge of $2,449 related to goodwill, intangibles and fixed assets associated with the discontinued operation. The food blending and packaging business was sold on June 3, 2011 and the Company received cash proceeds of $250.

(a)   The Company’s primary source of external financing is its revolving Credit Agreement, as amended with certain lenders (the “Lenders”) and Bank of America (“BofA”) as Agent (the “Credit Agreement”), which has a term that ends on July 2, 2012. The borrowings under the Credit Agreement are secured in the U.S. by a pledge of substantially all of the Company’s domestic assets (approximately $17,000) and in Europe by a pledge of the Company’s European assets and the stock of the Company’s European subsidiaries and certain of the Company’s Asian subsidiaries. The Company is in discussions regarding replacement of its Credit Agreement and anticipates finalizing a replacement Credit Agreement although there are no assurances that such agreement will be completed by the loan maturity date.

     The Credit Agreement, as amended, requires the Company to satisfy certain minimum EBITDA, Minimum Currency Adjusted Net Sales, Capital Expenditures, and Minimum Liquidity covenants. The Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement at June 30, 2011.
     Under the terms of waiver and amendment agreements entered into in September 2010 and May 2011 to the Credit Agreement the Company issued to the Lenders two tranches of Warrants. The first tranche (“the 2010 Warrants”) have a term of 10 years to purchase 352,671 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock for $0.01 per share and contains a put provision that enables the holders after September 28, 2012 to request a cash settlement of the then fair market value of the 2010 Warrants in an amount not to exceed $1.50 per share. The 2010 Warrants were valued based on the Company’s stock price at September 28, 2010 and are presented as a liability ($420 at June 30, 2011) under other long-term liabilities. The value of the 2010 Warrants are marked to market at the end of each reporting period and the change in value is recorded in interest expense. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, the value of the September Warrants decreased by $21.
     The second tranche (“the 2011 Warrants”) also have a term of ten years to purchase 372,374 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock for $0.01 per share. The 2011 Warrants also contain a put provision that enables the holders after May 16, 2013 to request a cash settlement of the then fair market value of the 2011 Warrants in an amount not to exceed $1.50 per share. The 2011 Warrants are presented as a liability ($443 at June 30, 2011) under other long-term liabilities. The value of the 2011 Warrants are marked to market at the end of each reporting period and the 2011 changes in value is recorded in interest expense. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, the value of the 2011 Warrants decreased by $112.
     On October 13, 2011, the Company entered into Amendment No. 11 to the Credit Agreement (“Amendment No. 11”) with certain lenders and BofA as agent. Among other things, Amendment No. 11 (i) extended the maturity date of the revolving Credit Agreement from November 21, 2011 to July 2, 2012, (ii) adjusted the interest payment provisions pursuant to which euro and U.S. dollar borrowings bear interest at LIBOR plus 7.50%, and (iii) increased the incremental interest rate for the deferred interest to be paid at maturity. As part of the consideration for Amendment No. 11, the Company will (a) pay the Lenders a potential fee of $1,100 as follows: $200 upon signing of Amendment No. 11, and scheduled weekly installments ranging from $200 to $50 beginning February 10, 2012 through April 20, 2012 unless the Credit Agreement is fully refinanced prior to the payment due dates, in which case any remaining payments will be waived, (b) grant to the Lenders ten year Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 434,200 shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.01 per share, with a put provision exercisable after two (2) years that enables the holder to request a cash settlement equal to the then fair market value of the Warrants in an amount not to exceed $1.50 per share for each share issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants (the “October 2011 Warrants”); and (c) if the Credit Agreement is not refinanced prior to certain scheduled dates, the Company may grant to the Lenders additional ten year Warrants in four monthly installments beginning March 1, 2012 and on the first day of each month through June 1, 2012, to purchase an aggregate of 1,592,067 shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company (equal to an amount not to exceed 20 percent of the issued and outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company on September 27, 2010) each at an exercise price of $0.01 per share, and each with a put provision exercisable after two (2) years that enables the holder to request a cash settlement equal to the then fair market value of the Warrants in an amount not to exceed $1.50 per share for each share issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants.
     The Credit Agreement, as amended by Amendment No 11, continues to require that the Company satisfy certain minimum EBITDA, Minimum Currency Adjusted Net Sales, Capital Expenditures, and Minimum Liquidity tests. The Company anticipates that it will be in compliance with these covenants for the remainder of the term of the Credit Agreement. However the Company’s ability to meet its debt obligations (including compliance with applicable financial covenants) is dependent upon the Company's future performance and its cash flows from operations, both of which are subject to prevailing economic conditions and financial, business, and other known and unknown risks and uncertainties, certain of which are beyond the Company’s control.

  (b)   $1,241 five year term loan with principal and interest payments due and payable in five annual installments.
 
  (c)   $2,521 five year subordinated promissory note with principal and interest payments due and payable in five annual installments. The balance at June 30, 2011 was $2,132 (See Note 15).
     The Company maintains relationships with both foreign and domestic banks, which combined have extended short- and long-term credit facilities to the Company totaling $28,688. As of June 30, 2011, the Company had $23,208 outstanding (including Letters of Credit of $1,127). The amount available under these credit facilities at June 30, 2011 was $2,280.

     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, 2011 and 2010 are as follows:
                 
    June 30, 2011     June 30, 2010  
Deferred tax assets (liabilities):
               
Foreign tax credit carryforwards

  $ 4,110     $ 9,490  
 
           
     At June 30, 2011, net operating loss carryforwards of $53,705 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, 2011, the Company has indefinite foreign capital loss carry-forwards available in the amount of $712. At June 30, 2011, the Company had U.S. NOL carryforwards of $6,075 of which $998 will expire in 2020 and $5,077 will expire in 2030. In addition, as of June, 2011 the Company has U.S. capital loss carry-forwards of $5,287 which will expire in 5 years. Foreign tax credits of $3,853 will expire in 2013 through 2019.
     In assessing the realizability of the deferred tax assets, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or the entire deferred tax asset will be realized. Ultimately, the realization of the deferred tax asset is dependent upon the generation of sufficient taxable income in those periods in which temporary differences become deductible and/or net operating loss, capital loss and tax credit carryforwards can be utilized. The Company considered the level of historical taxable income, scheduled reversal of temporary differences, tax planning strategies and future taxable income in determining whether a valuation allowance is warranted. Assumptions are consistent with estimates and plans used to manage the underlying business. In evaluating historical results, the Company considered three years of recent losses as well as the impact of non-routine events in assessing core pretax earnings. Based on these considerations, the Company concluded that an additional valuation allowance was warranted for the year ended June 30, 2011. Accordingly, the Company’s fiscal 2011 income tax expense from continuing operations include $11,458 of additional valuation allowance recorded against certain domestic and

51


Table of Contents

foreign deferred tax assets including capital loss and foreign tax credit carryforwards of $1,798 and $1,469, respectively. The remaining $1,988 increase in the valuation allowance is primarily due to balance sheet cumulative translations adjustments related to foreign deferred tax assets.
     The Company has not had to provide for income taxes on $13,382 of cumulative undistributed earnings of subsidiaries outside the United States at June 30, 2011 because of the Company’s intention to indefinitely reinvest those earnings. The amount of unrecognized deferred tax liabilities for temporary differences related to investments in undistributed earnings is not practicable to determine at this time.
     On June 30, 2011, the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits totaled $1,693, including $1,404 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, 2011 and 2010, the Company accrued $9 and $18, respectively, in potential interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions. 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. At June 30, 2011, the Company had $276 of accrued interest and penalties.
     A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions, is as follows:
                 
    Year Ended June 30,  
    2011     2010

     The Company conducts its business globally and, as a result, the Company or one or more of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. and various state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is subject to ongoing tax examinations and assessments in such major jurisdictions as the U.S., Germany, Sweden, U.K. and Japan. The earliest year for which the Company or its affiliates are subject to examination by tax authorities is the tax year 2005. It is reasonably possible that in the next 12 months, because of changes in facts and circumstances, the unrecognized tax benefits for tax positions taken related to previously filed tax returns may decrease. The range of possible decrease related to the potential settled adjustments and expiration of the statute of limitation is zero to $0.5 million.
     The reconciliation of the computed “expected” provision (determined by applying the United States Federal statutory income tax rate of 34% to income before income taxes) to the actual tax provision is as follows:

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 total 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, 2011, the number of outstanding shares of Class B constituted approximately 7% 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 Class B. The Company’s current Credit Agreement prohibits the payment of dividends.
     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, 2011, 1,192,760 shares of Class A had been repurchased for $2,638. During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 no shares of Class A were repurchased. Repurchases are restricted under the terms of the Credit Agreement.
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”) allowed 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 (the “1998 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 Common Stock. Under the 1998 Plan, each year, each Eligible Director received a grant of options to purchase 3,000 shares of Class A Common Stock. 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 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 the stockholders on November 11, 2008. The 2005 Plan provides for the granting of a variety of awards to the Company’s employees, non-employee 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 issued to participants or their beneficiaries pursuant to all awards granted under the 2005 Plan is now 2,200,000. During fiscal year 2011, an aggregate of

759,288 shares were granted as restricted shares/share units, long term incentive performance awards and stock options under the 2005 Plan. Awards for a total of 246,055 shares were canceled during fiscal year 2011, and those shares became available for future awards. 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 shares/share units have restrictions that generally lapse in three equal annual installments commencing on the first anniversary of the date of grant.
     At June 30, 2011, the aggregate number of shares available for future grants under the 2005 Plan was 326,713.
     In addition, during fiscal year 2011, the Company granted an aggregate of 650,000 non-plan options to purchase shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock to the Company’s CEO, CFO and a strategic consultation firm.
     Compensation expense recorded for all of the Company’s share-based compensation plans for the fiscal years, 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $679, $829 and $1,092, respectively. The tax benefit related to this compensation expense for the fiscal years 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $221, $274 and $373, respectively.

(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.

Long Term Incentive Performance Share Awards
     The Company did not issue any long term incentive performance share awards during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, the Company issued long term incentive performance share awards (“PSAs”) under the 2005 Plan. 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 fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 was $183. Total fair value of PSAs vested and compensation expense incurred during each of the three years ended June 30, 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $0, based on the current assessment of the probability of achievement.

the fiscal years ended June 2011, 2010 and 2009. The assets of the plan are invested primarily in mutual funds, money market funds, and Class A Common Stock of the Company. The Class A Common Stock constituted approximately 1% of the total assets of the plan at June 30, 2011.
     Certain subsidiaries within Europe maintain defined contribution and/or profit sharing plans. Amounts expensed under these plans based upon the age, salary and years of service of employees covered by the plans were as follows:

     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 values of 100% of plan assets are represented by insurance contracts which are measured as a Level 2 type valuation as of June 30, 2011 and 2010, 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 non-qualified Supplemental Executive Retirement Plans (SERPs). The SERPs provide benefits to eligible executives, based on average earnings, years of service and age at retirement or separation from employment. The Company has established a Trust to provide a potential source of funds to pay benefits under the SERPs. The amount held in trust in Other Assets at June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $1,457 and $1,253, respectively, which represents the market value of the trust assets measured as a Level 1 type valuation as of June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Company uses a measurement date of June 30 for its defined benefits plans.

Note 15 — Business Acquisition:
     On June 30, 2010, the Company concluded its acquisition from Nordson Corporation of 100% of the outstanding shares of Nordson UV. The acquired business provides UV (ultraviolet) curing systems to the graphic arts markets, as well as a line of parts and consumables (ultraviolet lamps). The acquisition introduces the Company to delivery of UV curing systems as well as expanding opportunities in UV applications and the digital (ink jet) market sector.
     In conjunction with the acquisition, the Company executed a five-year purchase note payable to Nordson Corporation, the seller. The original amount of the note payable was $2,150. Due to a subsequent net working capital adjustment, the note has been revised to $2,521 of which $1,871 represents the purchase price and $650 represents costs of the transaction funded by the seller to be repaid to the seller over the period of the note.

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. 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 and in addition to the percentage of revenue discussed above.

Item 9.   Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosures
     None.
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 of 1934, as amended (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, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

65


Table of Contents

     Based upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2011.
     (b) Management’s report on internal controls over financial reporting
     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 Exchange Act. 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 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 and 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 of the Company may deteriorate.
     Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2011 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. Based on our evaluation, we concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of June 30, 2011.
     (c) Changes in internal control over financial reporting
     A material weakness is a control deficiency, or 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. As more fully described in the Form 10 K/A for the year ended June 30, 2010 filed May 23, 2011, the Company reported a material weakness in the control environment at its Japanese operations. As a result, established revenue recognition, purchase and expense policies and related internal controls at the Company’s Japanese subsidiary were overridden and intentionally circumvented by local management. Specifically, existing policies and controls were violated as revenue was recorded prior to shipments of goods or completion of installation services and related costs were recorded prior to receipt of materials and components As a result of the material weakness the Company concluded that disclosure control and procedures and internal control over financial reporting were not effective as of June 30, 2010.
     As previously disclosed in the Form 10-K/A for the year ended June 30, 2010, in August 2010, the former President of the Company’s Japanese operations left the Company and in March 2011, the Company hired a new President for its Japanese subsidiary.
     In addition, during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 management took various actions to strengthen disclosure and control procedures and internal control over financial reporting at its Japanese and other subsidiaries. The following remediation activities were performed:
    Appropriate disciplinary actions were taken against employees in Japan involved in the violations.
    A quarterly process was implemented for management of the individual subsidiaries to review and validate the appropriateness of revenue recognition with corporate management.
    Additional training was conducted on the revenue recognition and purchase processes at all subsidiaries to

66


Table of Contents

      ensure that expectations are fully communicated and understood throughout the Company.
    Conducted updated training with respect to Baldwin’s Code of Conduct and Business Ethics policy and required annual written confirmation from each employee of their understanding and adherence to this policy.
    Improved the communication surrounding, and encouraged the use of the Company’s whistleblower program to ensure that any issues, such as those that led to the material weaknesses, are reported in a more timely manner.
     Also, during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, the Company made significant senior level and other management changes and other organizational changes. In October 2010, the Company hired a new Chief Executive Officer. In December 2010, under the leadership of the new CEO, the Company made significant organizational changes including transforming the Company from a country-based group of silo organizations, with local managements and local focus, to a globally integrated organization with multiple leaders having global responsibility managing the Company’s business units with improved reporting and personal accountabilities. Additionally, in April 2011, the Company hired a new Chief Financial Officer. The Company believes that these senior management and organizational changes have contributed significantly to remediation of the issues identified at its Japanese subsidiary.
     Except as noted above, there was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred in the fourth quarter ended June 30, 2011, that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Item 9B.   Other Information
     On May 16, 2011 the Company entered into Waiver and Amendment No. 10 to the Credit Agreement (“Amendment No. 10”) with BofA as agent and the other lenders. Under the terms of Amendment No. 10, the Company issued to each of the Company’s three lenders Warrants with a term of ten years to purchase an aggregate of 372,374 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock for a purchase price of $0.01 per share (the “2011 Warrants”). The 2011 Warrants also contain a put provision that enables the holders thereof after May 16, 2 013 to request a cash settlement equal to the fair market value of the Warrants in an amount not to exceed $1.50 per share. Neither the 2011 Warrants nor the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the 2011 Warrants have been registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
     On October 13, 2011, the Company entered into Amendment No. 11 to the Credit Agreement (“Amendment No. 11”) with certain lenders and BofA as agent. Among other things, Amendment No. 11 (i) extended the maturity date of the revolving Credit Agreement from November 21, 2011 to July 2, 2012, (ii) adjusted the interest payment provisions pursuant to which euro and U.S. dollar borrowings bear interest at LIBOR plus 7.50%, and (iii) increased the incremental interest rate for the deferred interest to be paid at maturity. As part of the consideration for Amendment No. 11, the Company will (a) pay the Lenders a potential fee of $1,100 as follows: $200 upon signing of Amendment No. 11, and scheduled weekly installments ranging from $200 to $50 beginning February 10, 2012 through April 20, 2012 unless the Credit Agreement is fully refinanced prior to the payment due dates, in which case any remaining payments will be waived, (b) grant to the Lenders ten year Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 434,200 shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.01 per share, with a put provision exercisable after two (2) years that enables the holder to request a cash settlement equal to the then fair market value of the Warrants in an amount not to exceed $1.50 per share for each share issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants (the “October 2011 Warrants”); and (c) if the Credit Agreement is not refinanced prior to certain scheduled dates, the Company may grant to the Lenders additional ten year Warrants in four monthly installments beginning March 1, 2012 and on the first day of each month through June 1, 2012, to purchase an aggregate of 1,592,067 shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company (equal to an amount not to exceed 20 percent of the issued and outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company on September 27, 2010) each at an exercise price of $0.01 per share, and each with a put provision exercisable after two (2) years that enables the holder to request a cash settlement equal to the then fair market value of the Warrants in an amount not to exceed $1.50 per share for each share issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants.
     The Credit Agreement, as amended by Amendment No 11, continues to require that the Company satisfy certain minimum EBITDA, Minimum Currency Adjusted Net Sales, Capital Expenditures, and Minimum Liquidity tests. The Company anticipates that it will be in compliance with these covenants for the remainder of the term of the Credit Agreement.
