                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


     1.          SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
                 -------------------------------------------

                 BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The  accompanying  financial  statements  are  unaudited;  however,  in the
opinion  of  management,  all  adjustments  necessary  for a fair  statement  of
financial position and results for the stated periods have been included.  These
adjustments are of a normal  recurring  nature.  Results for interim periods are
not  necessarily  indicative  of the results to be expected for an entire fiscal
year.  It is suggested  that these  condensed  financial  statements  be read in
conjunction  with the audited  financial  statements and notes thereto as of and
for the period ended December 31, 1997.

                 GENERAL

     The  accompanying  financial  statements  have been prepared  assuming that
Paragon  Acquisition  Company,  Inc.  (the  "Company")  will continue as a going
concern.  The Company is in the development  stage and has incurred a loss since
its  inception  and  there  can be no  assurance  that the  planned  acquisition
activities of the Company (see Note 2) will be successful in the near term.  The
Company has,  however,  other funding  sources  available,  principally  lending
commitments from related parties,  sufficient to sustain operations for at least
the next twelve months.

                 INCOME TAXES

     The Company  follows  Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 109
("FAS 109"),  "Accounting  for Income  Taxes." FAS 109 is an asset and liability
approach that requires the  recognition  of deferred tax assets and  liabilities
for the expected future tax  consequences of events that have been recognized in
the Company's financial statements or tax returns. The Company has net operating
loss carry  forwards of  approximately  $148,000  available to reduce any future
income taxes. The tax benefit of these losses,  approximately  $59,000, has been
offset by a valuation allowance due to the uncertainty of its realization.

                 DEFERRED REGISTRATION COSTS

     As of June 30, 1998, the Company has incurred deferred  registration  costs
of $134,612  relating  to expenses  incurred  in  connection  with the  Proposed
Distribution (see Note 2). Upon consummation of this Proposed Distribution,  the
deferred  registration  costs will be charged  to  equity.  Should the  Proposed
Distribution  prove  to be  unsuccessful,  these  deferred  costs,  as  well  as
additional expenses to be incurred, will be charged to operations.

                 USE OF ESTIMATES

     The  preparation of the financial  statements in conformity  with generally
accepted  accounting  principles  requires  management  to  make  estimates  and
assumptions  that  affect the  reported  amounts of assets and  liabilities  and
disclosure of  contingent  assets and  liabilities  at the date of the financial
statements  and the  reported  amounts  of  revenues  and  expenses  during  the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

                 NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

     In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 128,
"Earnings  per Share."  Statement  128 replaced the  calculation  of primary and
fully  diluted  earnings  per share with basic and diluted  earnings  per share.
Unlike  primary  earnings  per share,  basic  earnings  per share  excludes  any
dilutive  effects of  options,  warrants  and  convertible  securities.  Diluted
earnings  per share is very similar to the  previously  reported  fully  diluted
earnings  per  share.  All loss per  share  amounts  for all  periods  have been
presented to conform to the Statement 128 requirements.

                 COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

     Effective  January 1, 1998,  the Company  adopted SFAS No. 130,  "Reporting
Comprehensive  Income", which establishes standards for reporting and display of
comprehensive  income,  its components and accumulated  balances.  Comprehensive
income is defined to include all changes in equity except those  resulting  from
investments by owners and distributions to owners.  Adoption of the standard has
had no effect on financial statement disclosures.

     2.  ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS  OPERATIONS.  The Company was incorporated in
Delaware on June 19, 1996 to serve as a vehicle to effect a merger,  exchange of
capital stock,  asset  acquisition or other business  combination (the "Business
Combination")  with an operating business (the "Target  Business").  At June 30,
1998, the Company had not yet commenced any formal  business  operations and all
activity to date relates to the  Company's  formation and proposed fund raising.
The Company's fiscal year end is December 31.

     The Company's ability to commence operations is contingent upon its ability
to identify a prospective  Target Business and raise the capital it will require
through the issuance of equity securities, debt securities, bank borrowings or a
combination  thereof. The Company intends to obtain adequate financial resources
through the  registration  of a  distribution  of shares of its Common Stock and
Subscription Rights to its shareholders (the  "Distribution").  The Subscription
Rights will entitle the holder to purchase two (2) shares of Common Stock of the
Company for each  Subscription  Right held for a purchase price to be determined
by the  Company's  Board of  Directors  at the time a  Business  Combination  is
identified, such price to be not more than $2.00 per Subscription Right.

     Subscription  Rights will not be exercisable  until after a  Post-Effective
Amendment to the Form S-1 Registration Statement to be filed by the Company with
the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  describes  a  Business  Combination,
establishes the Subscription  Price and the number of Subscription  Rights which
may be exercised in such  Subscription  Period and  specifies  the  Subscription
Period  established  by  the  Company.  The  Shares  to be  distributed  to  the
shareholders, the Subscription Rights and any Shares issuable upon exercise of


                                     Page 8

<PAGE>


Subscription  Rights  will be held in escrow and may not be sold or  transferred
until the Company has  consummated  a Business  Combination.  After the Business
Combination is consummated, the Shares will be released from escrow.

     Due to the terms of the  Distribution,  the Company has not  established  a
time period within which to exercise the Subscription Rights as such exercise is
dependent upon the identification of a Target Business.  The Company anticipates
that, due to the time constraints  imposed on the management of the Company,  it
is not possible to predict the length of the identification process.

     3. LOANS DUE TO PAR HOLDING  CO.,  LLC. On June 4, 1997,  PAR Holding  Co.,
LLC, a major stockholder,  loaned the Company $60,000. Such loan is evidenced by
a Promissory Note dated June 4, 1997, in the principal amount of $60,000. During
November 1997,  March 1998 and May 1998,  further loans of $10,000,  $26,970 and
$100,000,  respectively,  were  received.  The loans bear interest at the annual
rate of 5.5%, compounded monthly, and are payable on demand.

     4. COMMITMENT.  The Company  presently  occupies office space provided by a
stockholder. Such stockholder has agreed that, until the acquisition of a Target
Business  by the  Company,  it will make such office  space,  as well as certain
office and secretarial service,  available to the Company, as may be required by
the Company from time to time at no charge.

     5. PREFERRED  STOCK. The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of
preferred stock with such designations,  voting and other rights and preferences
as may be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors.

     6. COMMON STOCK.  On June 25, 1996 the Company issued  2,900,000  shares of
Common  Stock,  par  value  $.01  per  share,  to PAR  Holding  Co.,  LLC  for a
consideration of $150,000. On March 6, 1997 the Company issued a further 514,191
shares of Common  Stock,  par  value  $.01 per  share,  to St.  Lawrence  Seaway
Corporation for a total consideration of $5,141.

MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION  AND  ANALYSIS OF  FINANCIAL  CONDITION  AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS FOR THE PERIOD ENDED JUNE 30, 1998
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------

Paragon  was  incorporated  on June 19,  1996 to serve as a vehicle  to effect a
merger,   exchange  of  capital  stock,  asset  acquisition  or  other  business
combination  with an operating  business.  On March 21, 1997,  the  Registration
Statement  on Form S-1 filed by Paragon  with  respect to the  Distribution  was
declared  effective and Paragon became subject to the reporting  requirements of
the Securities and Exchange  Commission.  At June 30, 1998,  Paragon had not yet
commenced any formal business  operations and all activities to date relate only
to Paragon's  formation and on-going  reporting  obligations with the Securities
and Exchange Commission.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------

At June 30,  1998,  Paragon had a working  capital  shortfall of $126,981 and an
accumulated deficit,  since inception of $147,510,  which consisted primarily of
general and  administrative  expenses of $142,023  including  professional  fees
incurred with respect to compliance with SEC reporting requirements and premiums
incurred on directors and officers insurance policies. To date, PAR Holding Co.,
LLC, a principal  Shareholder of Paragon, has loaned Paragon a total of $196,970
to cover its working  capital  shortfall,  consisting of a $60,000 loan in June,
1997,  a $10,000 loan in November,  1997, a $26,970 loan in March,  1998,  and a
$100,000 loan in May, 1998. All such loans are evidenced by promissory notes and
loans bear interest at an annual rate of 5.5% compounded  monthly;  interest and
principal are payable on demand.  PAR Holding Co., LLC has committed to continue
to fund Paragon's working capital shortfalls during its pre-acquisition stage.
