PARAGON ACQUISITION COMPANY, INC.
(a corporation in the development stage)
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, 1999.
GENERAL
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that 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 $352,000 available to reduce any future
income taxes. The tax benefit of these losses, approximately $140,000, has been
offset by a valuation allowance due to the uncertainty of its realization.
DEFERRED REGISTRATION COSTS
Through December 31, 1997, the Company had incurred deferred registration
costs of $134,612 relating to expenses incurred in connection with the Proposed
Distribution (See Note 2). No further registration costs were incurred during
the period ended June 30, 2000. Since the Registration Statement on Form S-1 has
expired and is no longer effective to permit distribution of the Shares and
Subscription Rights in connection with the Proposed Distribution (Note 2)
without an amendment or an additional or new Registration Statement being filed
and approved, the deferred registration costs of $134,612 were written off in
the Statement of Operations in the fourth quarter of 1999.

<PAGE>
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 earnings per share amounts for all periods have been
presented to conform to the Statement 128 requirements.
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,
2000, 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
Subscription Rights are being 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. LOAN 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, May, 1998, September, 1998, May, 1999, March, 2000,
April, 2000 and May, 2000, further loans for the sums of $10,000, $26,970,
$100,000, $10,000, $75,000, $5,685, $5,000 and $20,000, 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, 2000
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, 2000, 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, 2000, Paragon had a net working capital shortfall of $332,238 and an
accumulated deficit, since inception, of $487,379 which consists primarily of
general and administrative expenses of $317,665 (including professional fees
incurred with respect to compliance with SEC reporting requirements and premiums
incurred on directors and officers insurance policies) and $134,612 related to
deferred registration costs incurred in earlier years and expensed in the fourth
quarter of 1999. To date, PAR Holding Co., LLC, a principal Shareholder of
Paragon has loaned Paragon a total of $312,655 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, a $100,000 loan in May, 1998, a
$10,000 loan in September, 1998, a $75,000 loan in May, 1999, a $5,685 loan in
March, 2000, a $5,000 loan in April, 2000, and a $20,000 loan in May, 2000.
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.
