Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of the
Baldwin Technology Profit Sharing and Savings Plan
Shelton, Connecticut
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of Baldwin
Technology Profit Sharing and Savings Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the
related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31,
2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plans management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the auditing 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. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the net assets available for benefits of Baldwin Technology Profit Sharing and Savings
Plan as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the
year ended December 31, 2007, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America.
Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken
as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets held at end of year as of December 31, 2007, is
presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial
statements, but is supplementary information required by the United States Department of Labor
Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plans management. The
supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the
basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in
relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

BALDWIN TECHNOLOGY
PROFIT SHARING AND SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN
The following brief description of the Baldwin Technology Profit Sharing and Savings Plan (the
Plan or the Baldwin Plan) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the
Plan agreement for a more complete description of the Plans provisions.
General
The Plan is a defined contribution plan subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), as amended and is available to substantially all domestic employees
of Baldwin Technology Company, Inc. (the Company).
Eligibility
All full time and part time employees of the Company are eligible to participate on his/her first
day of employment.
Plan Amendment and Merger
As a result of the Companys acquisition of Oxy-Dry Corporation in November 2006, the Company
maintained two domestic profit sharing plans; the Baldwin Plan and the Oxy-Dry Corporation
Employees Profit Sharing & Savings Plan (the Oxy-Dry Plan). The Company has amended the Baldwin
Plan to allow for the combining of the two plans, the Baldwin Plan and the Oxy-Dry Plan, into one
plan, the Baldwin Plan, effective September 1, 2007. The amendment also included a change to the
Adoption Agreement of the Baldwin Plan recognizing all years of service with the Oxy-Dry Plan for
purposes of vesting and eligibility in the Baldwin Plan.
On December 18, 2007 pursuant to the Plan amendment, the Company completed the merger of assets
from the Oxy-Dry Plan into the Baldwin Plan. As a result, the net assets of $3,166,579 of the
Oxy-Dry Plan were rolled over into the Baldwin Plan.
Contributions
Each participant may elect to defer from 1% to 20% of their compensation, up to the Annual
Compensation Limit as defined by the Internal Revenue Code (IRC), on both a tax-deferred and
taxable basis into one or a combination of funds. Pursuant to the Tax Reform Act of 1986 as
amended, the maximum tax-deferred contribution an employee may make for the year ended December 31,
2007 was $15,500. Pursuant to the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001
(EGTRRA), participants age 50 and over may make an additional tax-deferred catch-up contribution
of $5,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007.
Effective January 1, 2002, the Company began making matching contributions equal to 100% of the
participants elective deferrals up to 3% of eligible compensation, plus 50% of the participants
elective deferrals greater than 3% of eligible compensation, but not more than 5% of eligible
compensation (Safe Harbor Contributions) quarterly for each participant. The Company may also
contribute an amount as the Board of Directors, in its absolute discretion, may determine (the
Discretionary Contributions). Company cash contributions are invested for each participant based
upon the current election in effect at the time the Company contribution is made.
4
Upon enrollment into the Plan, a participant may direct employee contributions in 1% increments
into any of sixteen investment options. Employer contributions are allocated to the investments
based on the participants investment options at the time of the employer contribution.
Participant contributions are remitted each week to the trustee, whereas Safe Harbor Contributions
are remitted quarterly and Discretionary Contributions, if any, are remitted annually.
Vesting
Participants will, at all times, be fully vested in the fair value of their contributions.
Participants vest 100% immediately in the Companys Safe Harbor Contributions, however,
participants become vested in employer Discretionary Contributions, based upon their years of
vesting service, as shown below:

|

Employees who are age 55 or older, or who become disabled or die while employed by the Company, are
automatically 100% vested in the value of the Company contributions credited to their accounts
regardless of their years of service.
Withdrawals and Distributions
Participants may withdraw after-tax contributions from their account balance while working and, in
limited cases (as defined by the Plans provisions), may withdraw before-tax contributions.
Distributions from the Plan at termination of employment will be made in the form of a single
lump-sum distribution consisting of the cash value of the participants interest in the fixed
income funds, mutual funds and stock funds. The amount of the distribution attributable to the
participants Baldwin Stock Fund account shall be distributed in the form of shares of the
Companys Class A Common Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a participant may request to
receive benefits in a form other than as above and the Plan Administrator may make available an
alternative form of distribution at the Plan Administrators sole discretion.
Upon a participants termination of employment by reason of retirement, total and permanent
disability or death, the entire balance of the participants account, as valued on the day
coinciding with or following the date of the termination of employment will be paid to the
participant, or in the case of death, to the participants designated beneficiary.
Upon termination of employment for reasons other than those set forth above, if the vested balance
is greater than $1,000 but less than $5,000 and the participant has not requested a distribution,
the entire vested balance of the participants account, as valued on the day coinciding with or
following the date of termination of employment, shall be paid as a direct rollover to an
individual retirement plan designated by the Plan Administrator. If the vested balance is greater
than $5,000, the participant has the option not to receive a distribution, and therefore,
distributions will not be made until requested by the participant.
Participant Loans
5
Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $1,000, up to a maximum of $50,000 or
50% of their vested account balance, whichever is less, and are subject to applicable Department of
Labor and Internal Revenue Service regulations. The loans are collateralized by the balance in the
participants account and bear interest at rates of prime plus 1%, currently ranging from 5.00% to
9.25%, which are commensurate with local prevailing rates as determined periodically by the Plan
Administrator.
Forfeitures
Upon a participants separation from service, amounts which have not vested will be forfeited.
Should a participant resume employment within 60 months of termination, the amount of such
forfeiture will be restored to his or her account. Contributions and earnings thereon which have
been forfeited will be available to reduce employer contributions. Accumulated forfeitures totaled
$20,151 and $5,803 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. During the plan year ending
December 31, 2007, the Company utilized $858 in accumulated forfeitures to reduce the Company
contributions.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement on Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (SFAS 157),
Fair Value Measurements. SFAS 157 establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value and
sets out a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about fair value
measurement. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning
after November 15, 2007. The Company does not believe the adoption of SFAS 157 will have a
material impact on the financial statements.
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Accounting
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.
Contracts Held by Certain Investment Companies Subject to the AICPA Investment Company Guide and
Defined-Contribution Health and Welfare and Pension Plans
On December 31, 2006, the Plan adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Staff Position
FSP AAG INV-1 and Statement of Position No. 94-4-4, Reporting of Fully Benefit-Responsive
Investment Contracts Held by Certain Investment Companies Subject to the AICPA Investment Company
Guide and Defined-Contribution Health and Welfare and Pension Plans (the FSP). The FSP requires
investment contracts held by a defined-contribution plan to be reported at fair value. However,
contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available
for benefits of a defined-contribution plan attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment
contracts, because contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate
permitted transactions under the terms of the plan. As required by the FSP, the Statement of Net
Assets Available for Benefits presents the fair value of the investment contracts in common
collective trusts, as well as the adjustment for the fully benefit-responsive investment contracts
in common collective trusts from fair value to contract value. The Statement of Changes in Net
Assets Available for Benefits is prepared on a contract value basis for the fully
benefit-responsive investment contracts held by common collective trusts.
Investment Valuation
Investments in registered investment companies are valued at published market prices, which
represent the net asset value of shares held by the Plan at year-end.
The fair value of participation units in the MFS Fixed Fund (a common collective trust) are valued
at a unit price as determined by the portfolios sponsor based on fair value of the underlying
assets held by the
6
portfolio. The participation units in the MFS Fixed Fund are also stated at
contract value, which is equal to the principal balance plus accrued interest.
The Baldwin Stock Fund is a unitized fund, which invests solely in the Class A Common Stock of
Baldwin Technology Company, Inc. The fund retains a certain amount of cash in order to complete a
purchase or sale transaction on the same day as the request is received from a participant. Excess
cash is held in a short-term money market fund within the Baldwin Stock Fund. Excess cash and cash
equivalents at December 31, 2007 and 2006 amounted to $14,652 and $24,692, respectively.
Participant loans are valued at cost, which approximates fair value.
Investment Income
Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest and other income is recorded as earned on
the accrual basis.
Investment Transactions
Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Realized gains and losses on
the sale of investments are calculated based upon the difference between the net sale proceeds and
the average cost of the fund shares. Unrealized gains and losses (appreciation (depreciation) in
fair value of investments) on investments held by the Plan at December 31, 2007 are calculated
based upon the difference between the fair value as determined by quoted market prices of
investments held at the end of the year less their average cost. The Plan presents in the Statement
of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits the net appreciation in fair value of its
investments, which consists of the realized gains or losses and the unrealized appreciation
(depreciation) on those investments.
Administration
The Plan is administered by The Advisory Committee (the Committee), which is appointed by the
Board of Directors of Baldwin Americas Corporation.
Administrative Expenses
All administrative expenses related to the Plan, are paid by the Company except for various asset
management fees, which are paid by each particular fund.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the 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, liabilities and changes therein, and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Benefit obligations to participants
Benefits are recorded when paid. Accordingly, benefits payable to terminated employees are not
deducted in arriving at net assets available for benefits. In October 2002, the Company divested
its former Baldwin Kansa business (BKA). As a result, the plan made distributions either to the
former employees of BKA or to a plan established by the purchasers of BKA for the benefit of those
participants who were employees of BKA. As of December 31, 2007, all of the Plan assets related to
former employees of BKA were distributed as instructed by the participants.
7
Risks and Uncertainties
The Plan provides for various investment options in mutual funds that invest in any combination of
stocks, bonds, fixed income securities and other investment securities. These investment securities
are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market and credit risks. Due to the level of
risk and uncertainty associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably
possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term, and that
such changes could materially affect participants account balances and the amounts reported in the
Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits, and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets
Available for Benefits.
NOTE 3 RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Certain Plan investments are shares of mutual funds managed by Massachusetts Financial Services
(MFS) which is an affiliate of Sun Life Retirement Services, Inc. (Sun Life). Sun Life is the
administrative services provider and record keeper, as defined by the Plan, and therefore, these
transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions. Fees paid by the Plan to MFS during the
year ended December 31, 2007 were $869. In addition, the Company pays certain costs on behalf of
the Plan.
At December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Plan held 67,933 and 97,747 shares, respectively, of the Baldwin
Technology Company, Inc. Class A Common Stock with a fair value of $320,644 and $488,735,
respectively.

NOTE 5 FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
8
The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by a letter dated April 23,
2002, that the Plan and the related trust are designed in accordance with applicable sections of
the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination
letter. However, the Plan Administrator and the Plans tax counsel believe that the Plan is
designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC.
NOTE 6 PLAN TERMINATION
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Committee reserves the right to terminate
the Plan at any time, subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event the Plan is terminated,
participants will become 100% vested in their accounts, no new funds will be contributed and the
Plans assets will be administered and distributed.
