Analysis of Results and General Business Commentary:

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.

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to adversely affect the operation across our various subsidiaries. We have experienced a slowdown in booking which may result in lower cash flow, revenue, and operating profit in the future. In response, we have prudently managed our expenses in response to uncertainty. In addition to the governmental policies to curb the spread of the pandemic, the on-going geopolitical conditions, including but not limited to the Russia - Ukraine conflict also negatively affects our financial and operation results through inflationary pressure, long lead time, and supply chain disruption.
