Results of Operations and Financial Condition. - ---------- ---------------------------------------------- The information under this caption is furnished by Paragon Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") in accordance with Securities Exchange Commission Release No. 33-8216. This information shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing. On August 9, 2007, the Company issued a press release announcing its financial results for its second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2007. A copy of the press release is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference. The press release contains a reference to EBITDA and provides a reconciliation of EBITDA to Net income (loss) on the face of the statements of operations. EBITDA is used by investors and analysts as an alternative to GAAP measures when evaluating the Company's performance in comparison to other companies. In order to fully assess our financial operating results, management believes that EBITDA is an appropriate measure of evaluating our operating performance, because it eliminates the effects of financing and accounting decisions. This measure is also significant to institutional lenders, and is considered an important internal benchmark of performance by the Company. EBITDA, which is earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, is computed by adding back interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation expense, and amortization expense to Net income (loss) as reported. EBITDA should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. EBITDA, as defined above, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Item 9.01.

(Amex:PTG), a leading supplier of "smart" material handling systems and "software-driven" warehouse and distribution center solutions, announced today results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2007. During the second quarter ended June 30, 2007, the Company had net income of $11,000 or $0.00 earnings per share as revenue rose to $6.0 million from $4.8 million in the second quarter of 2006. The backlog of orders increased to $10.7 million as a result of the booking of $6.6 million in new orders during the second quarter of 2007. The Company's backlog of orders at the beginning of the year was $5.9 million. During the first half of 2007, the Company had a net loss of $257,000 or a $0.09 loss per share as revenue rose to $9.6 million from $9.0 million in the first half of 2006. The rate of new orders rose during the first half of 2007 to $14.4 million compared to $10.4 million in new orders received during the first half of 2006. Len Yurkovic, Acting CEO of Paragon Technologies, commented, "The 81% increase in the backlog of orders lays an excellent foundation for financial performance for the remainder of the fiscal year. Although we have returned to profitability in the second quarter, our earnings are below our ongoing expectations. During the second quarter, the Company was impacted by higher costs, primarily associated with increased pre-sales effort, strategic alternatives activities, and sales and marketing expenditures to support increasing market sector penetration, coupled with a change in the product mix of the business. With the current year order rate greater than the prior year, I am confident that 2007 annual revenues will exceed that of last year, with corresponding favorable profitability." During the first half of 2007, the Company repurchased 99,699 shares of common stock at a weighted average cost, including brokerage fees, of $5.68 per share. As of June 30, 2007, $883,857 remained available for repurchases from the $15,000,000 stock repurchase program.
