Analysis of Results and General Business Commentary:

"Our results were favorably impacted by a strong backlog in our automation business entering into 2020 along with a keen focus on operational efficiencies. Entering into 2021, however, our automation backlog is substantially lower than last year," stated Sham Gad, Chairman and CEO of Paragon. "Our business approach remains focused on the long-term performance of our entire organization."

In 2018 newly issued accounting rules required that all companies record any unrealized losses or gains from equity investments in the income statement.

Paragon's investment gains or losses reflect realized gains or losses in the company's investment portfolio. Paragon utilizes pre-tax operating income, a non-GAAP financial measure, in its analysis of financial results. Paragon Technologies defines pre-tax operating earnings outside of the investment gains/losses of the Company.
