ITEM 7.           FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS

(a)               Financial Statements of Business Acquired:

                  The audited financial statements of Multigraphics, Inc. as of
                  and for the year ended July 31, 1999 and the report of the
                  independent public accountants filed with the Securities and
                  Exchange Commission on October 20, 1999 on Form 10-K and the
                  unaudited financial statements for the quarter ended October
                  30, 1999 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
                  December 3, 1999 on Form 10-Q are hereby incorporated by
                  reference.

(b)               Pro Forma Financial Information:

                  The following unaudited pro forma combined financial
                  information has been prepared to give effect to the merger of
                  Paragon Corporate Holdings Inc. ("Paragon") and
                  Multigraphics, Inc. ("Multigraphics"). The unaudited pro
                  forma combined statement of operations for the year ended
                  December 31, 1999 gives effect to the merger as if the merger
                  had occurred on January 1, 1999. The unaudited pro forma
                  combined statement of operations for the year ended December
                  31, 1999 includes the statement of operations of Paragon for
                  the year ended December 31, 1999; the statement of operations
                  of Multigraphics for the fiscal year ended July 31, 1999,
                  adjusted for its quarterly and monthly statements of
                  operations for the quarters ended October 30, 1999 and 1998
                  and the months of November and December of both 1999 and
                  1998, to reflect Multigraphics results of operations for the
                  twelve-month period ended December 25, 1999; and the pro
                  forma adjustments to reflect the combination.

                  The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of December
                  31, 1999 gives effect to the merger as if the merger had
                  occurred on that date. The unaudited pro forma combined
                  balance sheet includes the balance sheet of Paragon as of
                  December 31, 1999 and Multigraphics as of December 25, 1999
                  and the pro forma adjustments to reflect the combination.

                  The pro forma adjustments are based upon the "purchase method"
                  of accounting, available information, and particular
                  assumptions that Paragon believes to be reasonable. The excess
                  of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets
                  acquired is being amortized on a straight-line basis over a
                  30-year period.

                  The purchase price allocation is preliminary, therefore, final
                  amounts could differ from those reflected in the unaudited pro
                  forma combined financial information. Upon final
                  determination, the purchase price will be allocated to the
                  assets and liabilities acquired based on fair value as of the
                  date of the merger.

                  The pro forma combined financial information and accompanying
                  notes should be read in conjunction with the audited
                  historical financial statements and related notes of Paragon
                  included in Paragon's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year

                  ended December 31, 1999 and the audited and unaudited
                  financial statements and related notes of Multigraphics for
                  its fiscal year ending July 31, 1999 and for its quarter
                  ending October 30, 1999, that are incorporated by reference.

                  The unaudited pro forma combined financial information is
                  provided for informational purposes only in response to SEC
                  requirements and does not purport to be indicative of and
                  should not be relied upon as indicative of the financial
                  position or operating results that would have actually
                  occurred if the merger had in fact occurred at such dates or
                  is it necessarily indicative of future operating results or
                  financial position.

         Prospect, IL headquarters facility. Includes warehousing, personnel,
         office and service technician travel costs that are redundant and will
         be provided at other Paragon locations at an incremental cost of $231.

               Workforce reductions and
                    related travel costs                 $       4,828

         have not been included in the pro forma financial data.

         borrowings under Paragon's revolving credit facility at an interest
         rate of 9.25% and the elimination of related interest on the $2,000
         pre-acquisition working capital loan by Paragon to Multigraphics.
