Item 1.       Financial Statements (Continued)
-------       --------------------
Paragon Technologies, Inc. and Subsidiary
Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2004 and 2003


(1)  In the opinion of the management of Paragon Technologies, Inc. ("Paragon"
     or the "Company"), the unaudited interim financial statements furnished
     reflect all adjustments and accruals that are necessary to present a fair
     statement of results for the interim periods. The financial statements
     include the accounts of the Company and Ermanco Incorporated ("Ermanco"), a
     wholly owned subsidiary company, after elimination of intercompany balances
     and transactions. Results for interim periods are not necessarily
     indicative of results expected for the full fiscal year. This quarterly
     report should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety
     by reference to, the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company and
     the related Notes thereto appearing in our annual report on Form 10-K for
     the year ended December 31, 2003 as filed with the Securities and Exchange
     Commission. Refer to the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December
     31, 2003 for more complete financial information.


(2)  Restructuring
     -------------
     In June 2001, the Company restructured its business operations, including
     curtailment of a defined benefit plan, and recorded a charge of $1,538,000
     for restructuring costs. In December 2002, the Company partially settled
     its obligations by making lump-sum distributions to those participants who
     elected that payment option and correspondingly recorded a restructuring
     credit of $859,000 during 2002. In February 2003, the Company settled its
     remaining obligations by purchasing annuities for those participants who
     elected that payment option and correspondingly recorded a restructuring
     credit of $170,000 during 2003.

     A roll-forward of restructuring activities is as follows (in thousands):

     2003............    $ 216         (170)          (34)            170                182
</TABLE>

     The $63,000 restructuring accrual at June 30, 2004 relates to professional
     fees for the 2001 restructuring that are still expected to be paid and is
     included in accrued other liabilities.

     The amount reclassified out of the restructuring accrual was previously
     included in accrued pension and retirement savings plan liabilities.


(3)  Accrued Product Warranty
     ------------------------
     The Company's products are warranted against defects in materials and
     workmanship for varying periods of time depending on customer requirements
     and the type of system sold, with a typical warranty period of one year.
     The Company provides an accrual for estimated future warranty costs and
     potential product liability claims based upon a percentage of cost of
     sales, ranging from one to two percent depending on the type of system
     sold, and a detailed review of products still in the warranty period.

(4)  Major Segments of Business
     --------------------------
     Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise in which
     separate financial information is available and evaluated regularly by the
     chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in
     assessing performance. The Company identified such segments based on both

(5)  Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
     -----------------------------------------
     In December 2003, the Company adopted SFAS No. 132 (revised), "Employers'
     Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits" ("FAS 132")
     as amended. This standard retains the existing disclosures and requires
     additional disclosures to provide details about pension plan assets,
     benefit obligations, cash flows, benefit costs, and related information.
     The disclosure requirements are included in the Company's financial
     statements.

     In December 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 (revised December
     2003), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" ("FIN 46R"), which
     addresses how a business enterprise should evaluate whether it has a
     controlling financial interest in an entity through means other than voting
     rights and accordingly should consolidate the entity. FIN 46R replaces
     Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities," which
     was issued in January 2003. The Company is required to apply FIN 46R to
     variable interest entities ("VIE") created after December 31, 2003. For
     variable interests in VIE's created before January 1, 2004, FIN 46R will be
     applied beginning January 1, 2005. The application of FIN 46R is not
     expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

-------       --------------------
Paragon Technologies, Inc. and Subsidiary
Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2004 and 2003


(6)  Sale-Leaseback
     --------------
     In connection with the February 2003 sale of the Company's Easton,
     Pennsylvania facility, the Company entered into a leaseback arrangement for
     25,000 square feet of office space for five years. The leasing agreement
     requires fixed monthly rentals of $17,703 (with annual increases of 3%).
     The terms of the lease also require the payment of a proportionate share of
     the facility's operating expenses. The lease expires on February 21, 2008.
     The sale-leaseback resulted in a gain of $2,189,000, of which $1,363,000
     was recorded as a gain during the three months ended March 31, 2003. The
     remaining gain of $826,000 was deferred and is being recognized as a
     reduction in rent expense over the term of the lease. During the three
     months ended June 30, 2004 and June 30, 2003, $42,000 and $40,000,
     respectively, of the deferred gain was recognized. During the six months
     ended June 30, 2004 and June 30, 2003, $83,000 and $56,000, respectively,
     of the deferred gain was recognized.


(7)  Investment in SI/BAKER Joint Venture
     ------------------------------------
     On March 1, 1993, the Company and Automated Prescription Systems, Inc.
     formed a 50/50 joint venture, SI/BAKER, INC. ("SI/BAKER"). In 1998,
     Automated Prescription Systems, Inc. was renamed McKesson Automation
     Systems Inc. ("McKesson"). On September 19, 2003, the Company sold its
     entire ownership interest in SI/BAKER to McKesson and received cash
     proceeds of $5,600,000. Prior to the sale, the Company received royalty
     income from SI/BAKER at a rate of 2% of SI/BAKER's gross sales for
     marketing and sales efforts on behalf of SI/BAKER. The Company accounted
     for its investment in the joint venture on the equity basis by recognizing
     its proportionate share (50%) of SI/BAKER's net earnings. The sale resulted
     in a gain of $4,901,000 in 2003.


(8)  Line of Credit
     --------------
     The Company has a line of credit facility which may not exceed $5,000,000,
     $4,800,000 available, as amended, and is to be used primarily for working
     capital purposes. Interest on the line of credit facility is at the LIBOR
     Market Index Rate plus 1.4%.

     The line of credit facility contains various non-financial covenants and is
     secured by all accounts receivables and inventory. The Company was in
     compliance with all covenants as of June 30, 2004. As of June 30, 2004, the
     Company did not have any borrowings under the line of credit facility, and
     the line of credit facility expires effective June 30, 2005.


(9)  Long-Term Debt
     --------------
     The Company received $14,000,000 in the form of a seven-year term loan from
     its principal bank to finance the acquisition of Ermanco on September 30,
     1999. The interest rate on the term loan was variable at a rate equal to
     the three-month LIBOR Market Index Rate plus 2.65%.

For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2004 and 2003


     Also in connection with the acquisition of Ermanco, on September 30, 1999,
     the Company issued promissory notes to the stockholders of Ermanco,
     including notes in the amounts of $1,382,861 and $1,001,382 to Steven
     Shulman and Leon C. Kirschner, respectively. Mr. Shulman is a director of
     the Company, and Mr. Kirschner serves as the President of Ermanco and Chief
     Operating Officer of the Company. The notes, with an original term of seven
     years, bore interest at an annual rate of 10% through September 30, 2002,
     and 12% from October 1, 2002 through the prepayment date. Interest on the
     promissory notes was payable quarterly, in cash or under certain
     conditions, in the Company's common stock upon approval of the Company's
     Board of Directors.

     In 2003, the Company prepaid all of its outstanding term and subordinated
     debt.


(10) Pension Benefits
     ----------------
     The Company maintains a defined benefit plan for employees covered by its
     collective bargaining agreement. Retirement benefits are based on the
     employee's years of service multiplied by the appropriate monthly benefit
     amount. Employee compensation does not impact pension benefits. The
     Company's policy is to fund retirement plans in compliance with applicable
     laws and regulations. Assets of the Company's defined benefit plan are
     primarily invested in publicly traded common stocks, corporate and
     government debt securities, mutual funds, and cash or cash equivalents.

     Components of Net Periodic Pension Expense (Benefit)
     ---------------------------------------------------
     The Company uses the projected unit credit actuarial method to compute
     pension expense, which includes amortization of past service costs over 30
     years. The net periodic pension expense (benefit) and total pension expense
     (benefit) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003
     includes the following components (in thousands):

     The Company did not make any contributions to its defined benefit plan
     during the three and six months ended June 30, 2004. The Company expects
     total pension plan contributions to its defined benefit plan to approximate
     $41,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004.

(11) Stock-Based Compensation
     ------------------------
     The Company grants stock options for a fixed number of shares to employees
     and non-employee directors with an exercise price equal to the fair value
     of the shares at the date of grant. The Company has elected to continue to
     account for its stock-based compensation plans under the guidelines of
     Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
     Employees," and, accordingly, recognizes no compensation expense on options
     granted to employees for the stock option grants. The Company recognizes
     compensation expense on options granted to non-employee directors. To date,
     the effect of options granted to non-employee directors has been
     immaterial. Additional disclosure as required under the guidelines of SFAS
     No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("FAS 123"), as amended
     by FAS 148, is included below. If the Company had elected to recognize
     stock-based compensation expense for options granted to employees based on
     the fair value of granted options at the grant date (as determined under
     FAS 123), net earnings (in thousands) and basic and diluted earnings per
     share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, would have

     The above pro forma net earnings and basic and diluted earnings per share
     were computed using the fair value of granted options at the date of grant
     as calculated by the Black-Scholes option pricing method. No options were
     granted to employees during the three and six months ended June 30, 2004
     and the year ended December 31, 2003.

(12) Legal Proceedings
     -----------------
     In July 2003, a competitor filed an action against the Company in the
     United States District Court for the District of New Jersey alleging that
     certain of the Company's products infringed patents held by the competitor
     and also asserting claims for breach of contract, unjust enrichment, unfair
     competition, tortious interference with prospective economic advantage, and
     violation of New Jersey's consumer fraud act as a result of alleged
     improper use of the competitor's trade secrets, technology, and other
     proprietary information. Based on these allegations, the competitor was
     seeking monetary damages and injunctive relief against the Company.

     In February 2004, a settlement was reached between the Company and the
     competitor. Under the settlement, the competitor dismissed the action and
     agreed that the Company's products involved in the litigation are immune
     from suit for infringement of any of the competitor's intellectual property
     rights. In exchange, Paragon agreed to dismiss its counterclaims and paid
     the competitor $1,125,000. Total costs associated with the litigation
     recognized during 2003, inclusive of settlement costs and legal costs, were
     $1,375,000.

     The Company is involved in various other claims and legal actions arising
     in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the
     ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse
     effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of
     operations, or liquidity.

              Results of Operations
              ---------------------


     The following discussion and analysis of the Company's financial condition
and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited
consolidated financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2004, and the
cautionary statements and consolidated financial statements and related notes
thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2003. The discussion and analysis contains "forward-looking
statements" based on management's current expectations, assumptions, estimates,
and projections. These forward-looking statements involve risks and
uncertainties. The Company's actual results could differ materially from those
included in these "forward-looking statements" as a result of risks and
uncertainties, identified in connection with those forward-looking statements,
including those factors identified herein, and in the Company's other publicly
filed reports.

Business Overview
-----------------
     Paragon Technologies, Inc. provides a variety of material handling
solutions, including systems, technologies, products, and services for material
flow applications. The Company has gone to market with a multiple brand,
multiple channel strategy under the SI Systems and Ermanco brands.
     Founded in 1958, SI Systems material handling solutions are based on core
technologies in horizontal transportation and order fulfillment and are aimed at
improving productivity for manufacturing, assembly, and distribution center
operations. Since 1964, Ermanco conveyor technologies and integrated conveyor
systems have been based on core technologies in transportation, accumulation,

and manufacturing marketplace. Ermanco is known as the originator of the
line-shaft-driven, live-roller conveyor.

                    ----------------------------------------

Key Performance Metrics Relevant to the Company
-----------------------------------------------

     Capacity Utilization
     --------------------
     Capacity Utilization, as documented in the Federal Reserve Statistical
Release(1), is a key economic indicator that the Company follows as a barometer
that may lead to capital spending for material handling systems. Capacity
Utilization attempts to measure what percent of available capacity is actually
being utilized. Management believes that when Capacity Utilization rises above
80%, as occurred in fiscal 2000, the Company may see an increase in rate of new
orders, and therefore, an increase in backlog and sales may also occur. The
backlog of orders represents the uncompleted portion of systems contracts along
with the value of parts and services from customer purchase orders related to
goods that have not been shipped or services that have not been rendered.
Backlog is generally indicative of customer demand for the Company's products.
As the demand for the Company's products increases, the backlog of orders, rate
of new orders, and sales also typically increases. The following table depicts
the Company's backlog, orders, sales, and Capacity Utilization for the six
months ended June 30, 2004, and for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002,
2001, and 2000.

     Current Ratio
     -------------
     The Company's current ratio, which is the ratio of current assets to
current liabilities, has been relatively consistent. Management of the Company
monitors the current ratio as a measure of determining liquidity and believes
the current ratio illustrates that the Company's financial resources are
adequate to satisfy its future cash requirements through the next year. The
following table depicts the Company's current assets, current liabilities, and
current ratio as of June 30, 2004 and as of December 31, 2003, 2002, 2001, and
2000:

     Debt to Equity Ratio
     --------------------
     With an emphasis over the past several years on generating cash flows to
eliminate the Company's senior and subordinated debt, the Company has eliminated
its financial leverage as evidenced by its debt to equity ratio, which is the
ratio of total debt to stockholders' equity. Management believes the absence of
debt provides greater protection for its shareholders and enhances the Company's
ability to obtain additional financing, if required. The following table
illustrates the calculation of the debt to equity ratio as of June 30, 2004, and
as of December 31, 2003, 2002, 2001, and 2000:

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
------------------------------------------
     The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of
operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been
prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make
estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets and
liabilities, revenues and expenses, and other financial information, including
the related disclosure of commitments and contingencies at the date of our
financial statements. Actual results may, under different assumptions and
conditions, differ significantly from our estimates.
     We believe that our accounting policies related to revenue recognition on
system sales, warranty, inventories, allowance for doubtful accounts, and asset
impairments as described below, are our "critical accounting policies." These
policies have been reviewed with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors
and are discussed in greater detail below.

-------       ---------------------------------------------------------------
              Results of Operations (Continued)
              ---------------------


     Revenue Recognition on Systems Sales
     ------------------------------------
     Revenues on systems contracts, accounted for in accordance with SOP 81-1 of
the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, are recorded on the
basis of the Company's estimates of the percentage of completion of individual
contracts. Gross margin is recognized on the basis of the ratio of aggregate
costs incurred to date to the most recent estimate of total costs. As contracts
may extend over one or more years, revisions in cost and profit estimates during
the course of the work are reflected in the accounting periods in which the
facts requiring revisions become known. At the time a loss on a contract becomes
known, the entire amount of the estimated ultimate loss is accrued. As of June
30, 2004, there were no contracts that are anticipated to result in a loss.
     The Company believes that it has the ability to reasonably estimate the
total costs and applicable gross profit margins at the inception of the contract
for all of its systems contracts. However, where cost estimates change, there
could be a significant impact on the amount of revenue recognized. The Company's
failure to estimate accurately can result in cost overruns which will result in
the loss of profits if the Company determines that it has significantly
underestimated the costs involved in completing contracts. The Company has not
had any significant cost overruns resulting in loss of profits during the three
and six months ended June 30, 2004.

     Accrued Product Warranty
     ------------------------
     The Company's products are warranted against defects in materials and
workmanship for varying periods of time depending on customer requirements and
the type of system sold, with a typical warranty period of one year. The Company
provides an accrual for estimated future warranty costs and potential product
liability claims based upon a percentage of cost of sales, ranging from one to
two percent depending on the type of system sold, and a detailed review of
products still in the warranty period. Historically, the level of warranty
reserve has been appropriate based on management's assessment of estimated
future warranty claims. However, if unanticipated warranty issues arise in the
future, there could be a significant impact on the recorded warranty reserve.
The recorded warranty reserve as of June 30, 2004 was $811,000.

     Inventories
     -----------
     Inventories are valued at the lower of average cost or market. The Company
provides an inventory reserve determined by a specific identification of
individual slow moving items and other inventory items based on historical
experience. The reserve is considered to be a write-down of inventory to a new
cost basis. Upon disposal of inventory, the cost and related inventory reserve
are removed from the accounts. Historically, the level of inventory reserve has
been appropriate based on management's assessment of estimated future inventory
disposals.

     Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
     -------------------------------
     The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts determined by a
specific identification of individual accounts and other accounts based on
historical experience. The Company writes off receivables upon determination
that no further collections are probable. Historically, receivable write offs
have not had a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

     Asset Impairments
     -----------------
     On January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142, analyzed its goodwill
for impairment, and makes similar evaluations on a periodic basis. During 2003,
the Company performed the required impairment test of goodwill and determined
that there was no impairment. In assessing the recoverability of the Company's
goodwill, the Company must make assumptions regarding estimated future cash
flows and other factors to determine the fair value of the respective asset. If
these estimates or their

      ----------------------------------------------------------------------
      Six Months Ended June 30, 2003

Earnings Summary
----------------
     The Company had net earnings of $470,000 (or $0.11 basic earnings per
share) for the six months ended June 30, 2004, compared to net earnings of
$1,628,000 (or $0.38 basic earnings per share) for the six months ended June 30,
2003. The decrease in net earnings was primarily due to the prior year
comparable period containing:
      o  a pre-tax gain on the sale-leaseback of the Company's Easton,
         Pennsylvania facility of $1,363,000;
      o  a restructuring credit of $170,000 pertaining to the final settlement
         of the remaining pension obligations associated with the Company's
         terminated pension plan;
      o  equity in income of the Company's former SI/BAKER joint venture of
         $251,000; and
      o  royalty income from the Company's former SI/BAKER joint
         venture of $168,000.
     Offsetting the above decrease in net earnings for the six months ended June
30, 2004 was a reduction of $369,000 in interest expense as a result of the
elimination of the Company's senior and subordinated debt in September 2003.

</TABLE>

     The net sales increase was primarily attributable to an increase in Ermanco
branded sales of $1,656,000, partially offset by a decline of approximately
$989,000 in SI Systems branded sales. The increase in Ermanco branded sales was
primarily attributable to a larger backlog of Ermanco branded orders entering
fiscal 2004 when compared to the backlog of Ermanco branded orders entering
fiscal 2003. The decline in SI Systems branded sales was associated with delays
in customer buying decisions and competitive pressures.
     Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, for the six months ended June 30,
2004, when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2003, was unfavorably
impacted by approximately 0.6% due to competitive pricing pressures and product
mix, and by approximately 1.0% due primarily to the lower sales volume
experienced during the second quarter of 2004 to cover fixed overhead costs.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
--------------------------------------------
     Selling, general and administrative expenses of $4,117,000 were higher by
$246,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 than for the six months ended
June 30, 2003. The increase was comprised of the addition of resources aimed at
expanding the customer base and an increase in salaries and fringe benefits
totaling $283,000, an increase in marketing expenses primarily associated with
product promotion and marketing research totaling $42,000, and severance costs
of $115,000. Partially offsetting these increases were collections of $172,000
during the second quarter of 2004 on accounts receivable previously recognized
as uncollectible.

Product Development Costs
-------------------------
     Product development costs, including patent expense, of $205,000 was lower
by $97,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 than for the six months ended
June 30, 2003. Development programs in the six months ended June 30, 2004 were
aimed at enhancements to the Company's sortation and accumulation conveyor
technologies, and improvements to the Company's Order Picking, Fulfillment, and
Replenishment systems. Development programs in the six months ended June 30,
2003 included the new NBA-23(TM) narrow belt accumulation conveyor, computer
software for warehousing and distribution center operations, and improvements to
the Company's Order Picking, Fulfillment, and Replenishment systems.

Restructuring Charges (Credits)
-------------------------------
     In 2001, the Company restructured its business operations, including
curtailment of a defined benefit plan. In February 2003, the Company settled its
remaining pension obligations by purchasing annuities and correspondingly
recorded a restructuring credit of $170,000.

Interest Expense
----------------
     In September 2003, the Company repaid all of its outstanding senior and
subordinated debt. The Company had no interest expense in the six months ended
June 30, 2004, as compared to $369,000 of interest expense for the six months
ended June 30, 2003.

Equity in Income of Joint Venture
---------------------------------
     In September 2003, the Company sold its entire ownership interest in
SI/BAKER, INC. During the six months ended June 30, 2003, equity in income of
the SI/BAKER joint venture was $251,000.

Gain on Disposition of Property, Plant and Equipment
----------------------------------------------------
     The gain on the disposition of property, plant and equipment of $1,361,000
for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was primarily attributable to the
sale-leaseback of the Company's Easton, Pennsylvania facility in February 2003.
The sale-leaseback resulted in a total gain of $2,189,000, of which $1,363,000
was recorded in 2003. The remaining gain of $826,000 was deferred and is being
recognized as a reduction in rent expense over the five-year term of the lease.

Other Income, Net
-----------------
     In September 2003, the Company sold its entire ownership interest in
SI/BAKER, INC. The unfavorable variance of $160,000 in other income, net for the
six months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2003
was primarily attributable to revenue-based royalty income from the Company's
SI/BAKER recognized during the first half of 2003.

     The Company had net earnings of $129,000 (or $0.03 basic earnings per
share) for the three months ended June 30, 2004, compared to net earnings of
$617,000 (or $0.14 basic earnings per share) for the three months ended June 30,
2003. The decrease in net earnings was primarily due to the prior year
comparable period containing:
      o  higher revenues and gross profit of $1,345,000 and $590,000,
         respectively, as described below;
      o  lower selling, general and administrative expenses by $200,000 as
         described below;
      o  equity in income of the Company's former SI/BAKER joint venture of
         $89,000; and
      o  royalty income from the Company's former SI/BAKER joint venture of
         $85,000.
     Offsetting the above decrease in net earnings for the three months ended
June 30, 2004 was a reduction of $151,000 in interest expense as a result of the
elimination of the Company's senior and subordinated debt in September 2003.

With the exception of the following Statement of Operations captions, changes in
the second quarter of 2004 compared to the prior year were consistent with those
previously noted above for the six-month period.

                                                                   ====                  ====
</TABLE>

     The net sales decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in Ermanco
branded sales of $815,000 and a decline of $530,000 in SI Systems branded sales.
The decrease in Ermanco branded sales was primarily attributable to the prior
year comparable period containing a greater amount of sales due to progress made
on orders received during the first half of 2003 based on contract completion
requirements. The decline in SI Systems branded sales was associated with delays
in customer buying decisions and competitive pressures.
     Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, for the three months ended June 30,
2004 was unfavorably impacted by approximately 3.3% due to the lower sales
volume to cover fixed overhead costs for the three months ended June 30, 2004.
Partially offsetting the aforementioned unfavorable variance by approximately
1.0% was the favorable performance on several contracts initiated in the prior
year that were completed during the second quarter of 2004 and product mix.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
--------------------------------------------
     Selling, general and administrative expenses of $2,074,000 were higher by
$200,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2004 than for the three months
ended June 30, 2003. The increase was comprised of the addition of resources
aimed at expanding the customer base and an increase in salaries and fringe
benefits totaling $120,000, an increase in marketing expenses primarily
associated with product promotion and marketing research totaling $107,000, and
severance costs of $115,000. Partially offsetting these increases were
collections of $172,000 during the second quarter of 2004 on accounts receivable
previously recognized as uncollectible.


                    ----------------------------------------


Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------
     The Company's cash and cash equivalents decreased to $4,914,000 at June 30,
2004 from $5,591,000 at December 31, 2003. The decrease resulted primarily from:
      o  cash used by operating activities totaling $565,000; and
      o  purchases of capital equipment of $150,000.
     Cash used by operating activities of $565,000 during the six months ended
June 30, 2004 as compared to cash provided by operating activities of $629,000
during the six months ended June 30, 2003 decreased primarily due to the payment
of settlement and legal costs of $1,197,000 associated with an action against
the Company by a competitor relating to the Company's intellectual property.
Also contributing to cash provided by operating activities during the six months
ended June 30, 2003 was the receipt of a federal income tax refund of $1,093,000
and the receipt of a $1,000,000 cash dividend from the SI/BAKER joint venture.
     In 2003, the Company repaid all of its outstanding term debt and
subordinated debt.
     The Company's line of credit facility may not exceed $5,000,000, $4,800,000
available, as amended, and is to be used primarily for working capital purposes.
The line of credit facility contains various non-financial covenants and is
secured by all accounts receivables and inventory. As of June 30, 2004, the
Company did not have any borrowings under the line of credit facility, and the
line of credit facility expires effective June 30, 2005.
     The Company anticipates that its financial resources, consisting of cash
generated from operations and its line of credit, will be adequate to satisfy
its future cash requirements through the next year. Sales volume, as well as
cash liquidity, may experience fluctuations due to the unpredictability of
future contract sales and the dependence upon a limited number of large
contracts with a limited number of customers.
     The Company plans to consider strategic alternatives to increase
shareholder value, including expansion opportunities as they arise, although the
ongoing operating results of the Company, the economics of the expansion, and
the circumstances justifying the expansion will be key factors in determining
the amount of resources the Company will devote to further expansion.

Contractual Obligations
-----------------------
     Ermanco's operations are located in a 94,000 square foot steel building in
Spring Lake, Michigan. The building is leased from a limited liability company
that is affiliated with the Company through a common director and officer of the
Company, Messrs. Shulman and Kirschner. The leasing agreement requires fixed
monthly rentals of $33,283 through September 30, 2004. Thereafter, monthly
rentals are $29,310 (with annual increases of 2.5%). The terms of the lease
require the payment by Ermanco of all taxes, insurance, and other ownership
related costs of the property. The lease, as amended on April 1, 2004, expires
on September 30, 2008.
     In connection with the February 2003 sale of the Company's Easton,
Pennsylvania facility, the Company entered into a leaseback arrangement for
25,000 square feet of office space for five years. The leasing agreement
requires fixed monthly rentals of $17,703 (with annual increases of 3%). The
terms of the lease also require the payment of a proportionate share of the
facility's operating expenses. The lease expires on February 21, 2008.
     The Company also leases certain automobiles and office equipment, computer
equipment, and software under various operating leases with terms extending
through September 2007.
     Future contractual obligations and commercial commitments at June 30, 2004
as noted above are as follows:

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

     As of June 30, 2004, the Company had no off-balance sheet arrangements in
the nature of guarantee contracts, retained or contingent interests in assets
transferred to unconsolidated entities (or similar arrangements serving as
credit, liquidity, or market risk support to unconsolidated entities for any
such assets), or obligations (including contingent obligations) arising out of
variable interests in unconsolidated entities providing financing, liquidity,
market risk, or credit risk support to the Company, or that engage in leasing,
hedging, or research and development services with the Company.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
-----------------------------------------
     The adoption of SFAS No. 132 (revised) and FASB Interpretation No. 46 did
not have a material  impact on the Company's financial statements.


                    ----------------------------------------


Cautionary Statement
--------------------
     Certain statements contained herein are not based on historical fact and
are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 or by the Securities and Exchange Commission
rules, regulations, and releases. The Company intends that such forward-looking
statements be subject to the safe harbors created thereby. Among other things,
they regard the Company's earnings, liquidity, financial condition, review of
strategic alternatives, and other matters. Words or phrases denoting the
anticipated results of future events, such as "anticipate," "believe,"
"estimate," "expect," "may," "will," "will likely," "are expected to," "will
continue," "should," "project," and similar expressions that denote uncertainty,
are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. The Company's actual
results, performance, or achievements could differ materially from the results
expressed in, or implied by, such "forward-looking statements": (1) as a result
of risks and uncertainties identified in connection with those forward-looking
statements, including those factors identified herein, and in the Company's
other publicly filed reports; (2) as a result of factors over which the Company
has no control, including the strength of domestic and foreign economies, sales
growth, competition, and certain costs increases; or (3) if the factors on which
the Company's conclusions are based do not conform to the Company's
expectations.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
----------------------------------------------------------
     The Company does not believe that its exposures to interest rate risk or
foreign currency exchange risk, risks from commodity prices, equity prices and
other market changes that affect market risk sensitive instruments are material
to its results of operations.


Item 4.       Controls and Procedures
-------       -----------------------

(a)  An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the
     participation of the Company's management, including its Chief Executive
     Officer, or CEO, and Chief Financial Officer, or CFO, of the effectiveness
     of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is
     defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act
     of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") as of June 30, 2004. Based on that
     evaluation, the Company's management, including the CEO and CFO, concluded
     that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective to
     ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports
     that it files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed,
     summarized and reported as specified in Securities and Exchange Commission
     rules and forms.

(b)  There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial
     reporting identified in connection with the evaluation of such controls
     that occurred during the Company's most recent fiscal quarter that has
     materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the
     Company's internal control over financial reporting.

                          PART II -- OTHER INFORMATION
                          ----------------------------


Item 1.       Legal Proceedings
-------       -----------------

     In July 2003, a competitor filed an action against the Company in the
United States District Court for the District of New Jersey alleging that
certain of the Company's products infringed patents held by the competitor and
also asserting claims for breach of contract, unjust enrichment, unfair
competition, tortious interference with prospective economic advantage, and
violation of New Jersey's consumer fraud act as a result of alleged improper use
of the competitor's trade secrets, technology, and other proprietary
information. Based on these allegations, the competitor was seeking monetary
damages and injunctive relief against the Company.
     In February 2004, a settlement was reached between the Company and the
competitor. Under the settlement, the competitor dismissed the action and agreed
that the Company's products involved in the litigation are immune from suit for
infringement of any of the competitor's intellectual property rights. In
exchange, Paragon agreed to dismiss its counterclaims and paid the competitor
$1,125,000.

     The Company is involved in various other claims and legal actions arising
in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate
disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the
Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.
