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 March 18, 2008, the Company issued a press release announcing its financial results for its fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 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 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 fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2007. During the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2007, the Company had a net loss of $58,000 or $0.02 loss per share on revenues of $4.5 million. The Company's backlog of orders at December 31, 2007 was $7.9 million compared to the Company's backlog of orders at the beginning of the year of $5.9 million. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company had net income of $341,000 or $0.12 earnings per share on revenues of $21.4 million. The rate of new orders rose during the year ended December 31, 2007 to $23.5 million compared to $16.8 million in new orders received during the year ended December 31, 2006. Net income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007 was favorably impacted by the recognition of a $309,000 income tax benefit primarily related to the reversal of accruals for the expiration of tax return statutes. Len Yurkovic, Acting CEO of Paragon Technologies, commented, "Although we are disappointed in our 2007 fourth quarter and twelve month earnings, we are encouraged by the increase in the backlog of orders, which provides a good foundation for financial performance for 2008. Selling, general and administrative expenses have impacted our bottom line, but are in keeping with our long-term strategy to increase the level of sales by investing in resources associated with sales efforts in response to quoting and sales activities."
