Notes To Financial Statements (Unaudited)
For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2008 and 2007
(1) Basis of Financial Statement Presentation
-----------------------------------------
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with the requirements for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation
S-X and, accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures have
been condensed or omitted. 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. 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 the Company's annual
report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 as filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on March 28, 2008. Refer to the
Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007
for more complete financial information.
Use of Estimates
----------------
The preparation of the financial statements, in conformity with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles, requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial
statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those
estimates. The judgments made in assessing the appropriateness of the
estimates and assumptions utilized by management in the preparation of the
financial statements are based on historical and empirical data and other
factors germane to the nature of the risk being analyzed. Materially
different results may occur if different assumptions or conditions were to
prevail. Estimates and assumptions are mainly utilized to establish the
appropriateness of the inventory valuation, warranty reserve, and revenue
recognition.
(2) Short-Term Investments
----------------------
The Company's short-term investments are comprised of debt securities, all
classified as available for sale, that are carried at cost, which
approximates fair value of the investments at period end. These debt
securities include state and municipal bonds. The short-term investments
are on deposit with a major financial institution and are supported by
letters of credit. The fair value of the short-term investments of $180,000
at June 30, 2008 is based on quoted prices from active markets.
(3) Accrued Product Warranties
--------------------------
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, typically two percent of the cost of the system being sold. A
detailed review of products still in the warranty period is performed each
quarter.
A roll-forward of warranty activities is as follows (in thousands):

All of the Company's sales originate in the United States, and there are no
long-lived assets existing outside the United States.
The Company engages in sales with the U.S. government. Sales to the U.S.
government during the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were
$45,000 and $67,000, respectively. Sales to the U.S. government during the
six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were $69,000 and $194,000,
respectively.
The Company's backlog of orders at June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007 was
$5,259,000 and $10,730,000, respectively.
The Company's business is largely dependent upon a limited number of large
contracts with a limited number of customers. This dependence can cause
unexpected fluctuations in sales volume. Various external factors affect
the customers' decision-making process on expanding or upgrading their
current production or distribution sites. The customers' timing and
placement of new orders is often affected by factors such as the current
economy, current interest rates, and future expectations. The Company
believes that its business is not subject to seasonality, although the rate
of new orders can vary substantially from month to month. Since the Company
recognizes sales on a percentage of completion basis for its systems
contracts, fluctuations in the Company's sales and earnings occur with
increases or decreases in major installations. The Company expects to fill,
within the next twelve months, all of the June 30, 2008 backlog of orders
indicated above.

(5) Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
-----------------------------------------
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
157, Fair Value Measurements ("SFAS No. 157"). SFAS No. 157 defines fair
value, establishes a market-based framework or hierarchy for measuring fair
value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157
is applicable whenever another accounting pronouncement requires or permits
assets and liabilities to be measured at fair value. SFAS No. 157 does not
expand or require any new fair value measures. The provisions of SFAS No.
157 are to be applied prospectively and are effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS
No. 157's fair value measurement requirements for non-financial assets and
liabilities that are not required or permitted to be measured at fair value
on a recurring basis have been deferred until fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2008. The Company has certain non-financial assets, such as
long-lived assets, that may be re-measured to fair value on a non-recurring
basis. The Company adopted SFAS No. 157 on January 1, 2008. The adoption of
SFAS No. 157 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial
statements.
In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities -
Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 ("SFAS No. 159"). SFAS No.
159 permits entities to elect to measure many financial instruments and
certain other items at fair value. Upon adoption of SFAS No. 159, an entity
may elect the fair value option for eligible items that exist at the
adoption date. Subsequent to the initial adoption, the election of the fair
value option should only be made at initial recognition of the asset or
liability or upon a remeasurement event that gives rise to new-basis
accounting. The decision about whether to elect the fair value option is
applied on an instrument-by-instrument basis, is irrevocable and is applied
only to an entire instrument and not only to specified risks, cash flows or
portion of that instrument. SFAS No. 159 does not affect any existing
accounting literature that requires certain assets and liabilities to be
carried at fair value nor does it eliminate disclosure requirements
included in other accounting standards. SFAS No. 159 is effective for
fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company adopted SFAS
No. 159 on January 1, 2008. The adoption of SFAS No. 159 did not have a
material impact on the Company's financial statements.
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
141(R), Business Combinations ("SFAS No. 141R"). SFAS No. 141R replaces
SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations and applies to all transactions or
other events in which an entity obtains control of one or more businesses.
SFAS No. 141R requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to
recognize all (and only) the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the
transaction; establishes the acquisition-date fair value as the measurement
objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed; and requires the
acquirer to disclose additional information needed to evaluate and
understand the nature and financial effect of the business combination.
SFAS No. 141R is effective prospectively for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2008 and may not be applied before that date. The Company is
currently evaluating the impact, if any, the adoption of SFAS No. 141R will
have on the Company's financial statements.

(5) Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)
-----------------------------------------
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements--an
amendment of ARB No. 51 ("SFAS No. 160"). SFAS No. 160 is effective for
fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on
or after December 15, 2008, with earlier adoption prohibited. SFAS No. 160
requires the recognition of a noncontrolling interest (minority interest)
as equity in the consolidated financial statements and separate from the
parent's equity. The amount of net earnings attributable to the
noncontrolling interest will be included in consolidated net income on the
face of the income statement. SFAS No. 160 also amends certain of ARB No.
51's consolidation procedures for consistency with the requirements of SFAS
No. 141R. SFAS No. 160 also includes expanded disclosure requirements
regarding the interests of the parent and its noncontrolling interest. The
Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, the adoption of SFAS
No. 160 will have on the Company's financial statements.
In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 162,
The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("SFAS No. 162").
SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the
framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of
financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United
States. This Statement will become effective 60 days following the SEC's
approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB)
amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity
With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The Company does not
anticipate a material impact on its financial statements from the adoption
of SFAS No. 162.
(6) Sale-Leaseback
--------------
The Company's principal office is located in a 173,000 square foot,
concrete, brick, and steel facility in Easton, Pennsylvania. 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 required fixed monthly
rental payments of $19,345 during the fifth year of the lease, which ran
from February 21, 2007 through February 20, 2008. The terms of the lease
also require the payment of a proportionate share of the facility's
operating expenses. The leasing agreement is secured with a $200,000 letter
of credit.
In accordance with SFAS No. 13 and SFAS No. 28, the leaseback does not meet
the criteria for classification as a capital lease; hence, it is classified
as an operating lease. The sale-leaseback resulted in a total gain of
$2,189,000, of which $1,363,000 was recorded as a gain in 2003. The
seller-lessee (Company) retained more than a minor part (25,000 square
feet) but less than substantially all of the use of the property (173,000
square feet) through the leaseback and realized a profit on the sale in
excess of the present value of the minimum lease payments over the lease
term. The present value of the stream of lease payments utilizing the
Company's incremental borrowing rate of 10.0% was $826,000. The $826,000 of
deferred profit was amortized in equal amounts as a reduction in rent
expense over the initial five-year term of the lease. The amortization of
the deferred profit expired

during the first quarter of 2008. During the three months ended June 30,
2008 and 2007, $0 and $42,000, respectively, of the deferred gain was
recognized. During the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, $28,000 and
$83,000, respectively, of the deferred gain was recognized.
On November 14, 2007, the Company amended the lease agreement to extend the
term of the lease for a period of five years, commencing immediately upon
the February 21, 2008 expiration date of the original term of the lease.
The amended lease agreement requires fixed monthly rental payments of
$18,000 for five years through the February 20, 2013 expiration date of the
lease. The amended lease agreement incorporates the terms and conditions of
the original lease agreement.
(7) Line of Credit
--------------
The Company has a line of credit facility which may not exceed $5,000,000
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%. As of
June 30, 2008, the Company did not have any borrowings under the line of
credit facility; however, the leasing agreement associated with the
Company's principal office is secured with a $200,000 letter of credit.
Therefore, as of June 30, 2008, the amount of available line of credit was
$4,800,000.
The line of credit facility contains various non-financial covenants and is
secured by all of the Company's accounts receivables and inventory. The
Company was in compliance with all covenants as of June 30, 2008. The line
of credit facility expires effective September 30, 2008. The Company
expects to renew the line of credit facility under similar terms and
conditions during 2008.
(8) Stock Repurchase Program
------------------------
On August 12, 2004, the Company's Board of Directors approved a program to
repurchase up to $1,000,000 of its outstanding common stock. The Company's
Board of Directors amended its existing stock repurchase program on several
occasions during 2005, 2006, and 2007 by increasing the amount it has
authorized management to repurchase from up to $1,000,000 of the Company's
common stock to up to $15,000,000.
On January 9, 2008, the Company's Board of Directors amended its existing
stock repurchase program by increasing the amount it has authorized
management to repurchase from up to $15,000,000 of the Company's common
stock to up to $17,000,000.
During the three months ended June 30, 2008, the Company repurchased 55,348
shares of common stock at a weighted average cost, including brokerage
commissions, of $5.31 per share. During the six months ended June 30, 2008,
the Company repurchased 98,948 shares of common stock at a weighted average
cost, including brokerage commissions, of $5.47 per share. Cash
expenditures for the stock repurchases during the three and six months
ended June 30, 2008 were $293,763 and $540,787, respectively. From the
inception of the Company's stock repurchase program on August 12, 2004
through June 30, 2008, the Company

(8) Stock Repurchase Program (Continued)
------------------------
repurchased 1,736,666 shares of common stock at a weighted average cost,
including brokerage commissions, of $8.44 per share. Cash expenditures for
the stock repurchases since the inception of the program were $14,656,930.
As of June 30, 2008, $2,343,070 remained available for repurchases under
the stock repurchase program.
Based on market conditions and other factors, additional repurchases may be
made from time to time, in compliance with SEC regulations, in the open
market or through privately negotiated transactions at the discretion of
the Company. There is no expiration date with regards to the stock
repurchase program. The purchase price for the shares of the Company's
common stock repurchased was reflected as a reduction to stockholders'
equity. The Company allocates the purchase price of the repurchased shares
as a reduction to common stock for the par value of the shares repurchased,
with the excess of the purchase price over par value being allocated
between additional paid-in capital and retained earnings. All shares of
common stock that were repurchased by the Company since the inception of
the program were subsequently retired.
(9) Unearned Support Contract Revenue
---------------------------------
The Company offers its Order Fulfillment customers one-year support
contracts for an annual service fee. The support contracts cover a
customer's single distribution center or warehouse where the Company's
products are installed. As part of its support contracts, the Company
provides analysis, consultation, and technical information to the
customer's personnel on matters relating to the operation of its Order
Fulfillment System and related equipment and/or peripherals.
The Company records advance payments for unearned support contracts in the
balance sheet as a current liability. Revenue on individual support
contracts is deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the
one-year term of each individual support contract.
(10) Stock-Based Compensation
------------------------
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with SFAS
No. 123 (revised) "Share-Based Payment" ("SFAS No. 123R"). SFAS No. 123R
addresses all forms of share-based payment awards, including shares issued
under employee stock purchase plans, stock options, restricted and
nonvested stock, and stock appreciation rights. It requires companies to
recognize in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock
options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees.
The Company adopted SFAS No. 123R using the modified prospective transition
method. Under this transition method, compensation cost associated with
employee stock options recognized after December 31, 2005 includes
attribution of the fair value related to the remaining unvested portion of
stock option awards granted prior to January 1, 2006, if any, and
attribution related to new awards granted after January 1, 2006.

(10) Stock-Based Compensation (Continued)
------------------------
The expense associated with stock-based compensation arrangements is a
non-cash charge. In the Statements of Cash Flows, stock-based compensation
expense is an adjustment to reconcile net income (loss) to net cash
provided (used) by operating activities.
SFAS No. 123R requires that cash flows resulting from excess tax benefits
be classified as financing cash flows. For the three and six months ended
June 30, 2008 and for the year ended December 31, 2007, no excess tax
benefits were generated.
1997 Equity Compensation Plan
The Company's stock-based compensation program, the 1997 Equity
Compensation Plan ("ECP"), expired in July 2007. Prior to expiration, the
ECP provided for grants of stock options, restricted and nonvested stock,
and stock appreciation rights to selected employees, key advisors who
performed valuable services, and directors of the Company. In addition, the
ECP provided for grants of performance units to employees and key advisors.
Prior to expiration, the ECP, as amended by stockholders in August 2000 and
June 2001, authorized up to 1,012,500 shares of common stock for issuance
pursuant to the terms of the plan. No further grants are available under
the plan.
Under the Company's ECP, officers, directors, and employees have been
granted options to purchase shares of common stock at the market price at
the date of grant. Options vest in four equal annual installments beginning
on the first anniversary of the date of grant; thus, at the end of four
years, the options are fully exercisable. Vested stock option awards may be
exercised through payment of cash, exchange of mature shares, or through a
broker. As of June 30, 2008, 7,500 options are outstanding under the plan,
and all options have a term of seven years.
Stock-based compensation expense recognized during the three months ended
June 30, 2008 and 2007 for stock-based compensation programs was $6,000 and
$6,000, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense recognized during
the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 consisted of expensing $1,000
and $1,000, respectively, for employee stock options, and $5,000 and
$5,000, respectively, for nonvested stock.
Stock-based compensation expense recognized during the six months ended
June 30, 2008 and 2007 for stock-based compensation programs was $12,000
and $3,000, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense recognized
during the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 consisted of expensing
$3,000 and $3,000, respectively, for employee stock options, and $9,000 and
$0 respectively, for nonvested stock.
All of the stock-based compensation expense (income) recognized was a
component of selling, general and administrative expenses. Income was
recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2007 as a result of the
forfeiture of 5,000 shares of nonvested stock due to the resignation of Mr.
Hoffner from the Company effective March 1, 2007.

(10) Stock-Based Compensation (Continued)
------------------------
Stock Options
There were no stock options exercised, forfeited, or granted during the
three and six months ended June 30, 2008, and no further grants are
available under the plan.
The total compensation expense of $23,000 is expected to be recognized on
the straight-line basis over the stated vesting period consistent with the
terms of the arrangement. As of June 30, 2008, there is unrecognized
compensation cost of $8,000 on the stock option awards which will be
recognized over the next 1.7 years.
As of December 31, 2005, there were no unvested employee stock options.
Therefore, no compensation cost related to stock options granted to
employees prior to January 1, 2006 was recognized.
Nonvested Stock
The grant-date fair value of nonvested stock is determined on the date of
grant based on the market price of the stock, and compensation cost is
generally amortized to expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting
period during which employees perform related services.
On March 8, 2006, the Company issued 12,500 shares of nonvested stock to
its executive officers. Participants are entitled to cash dividends and to
vote their respective shares. The shares are subject to forfeiture if
employment is terminated prior to March 8, 2010.
On March 1, 2007, Mr. Hoffner resigned from his positions as President and
CEO and as a director of the Company. Due to his resignation from the
Company, Mr. Hoffner forfeited his 5,000 shares of nonvested stock.
The total compensation cost of $75,000 is expected to be recognized on the
straight-line basis over the four-year vesting period consistent with the
terms of the arrangement. As of June 30, 2008, there is unrecognized
compensation cost of $31,000 on the nonvested stock awards which will be
recognized over the next 1.7 years.
(11) Income Taxes
------------
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective
tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted
tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those
temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect
on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is
recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

(11) Income Taxes (Continued)
------------
The Company recognized an income tax benefit of $103,000 during the three
months ended June 30, 2008 compared to income tax expense of $30,000 during
the three months ended June 30, 2007. The income tax benefit for the three
months ended June 30, 2008 was higher than statutory federal and state tax
rates primarily due to an adjustment in the effective income tax rate
expected to apply based on the projected profitability of the Company for
2008 and a change in unrecognized tax benefits. Income tax expense for the
three months ended June 30, 2007 was higher than statutory federal and
state tax rates primarily due to tax-exempt interest, a change in
unrecognized tax benefits, and an adjustment in the effective income tax
rate expected to apply based on the projected profitability of the Company
for 2007.
The Company recognized an income tax benefit of $26,000 during the six
months ended June 30, 2008 compared to an income tax benefit of $98,000
during the six months ended June 30, 2007. The income tax benefit for the
six months ended June 30, 2008 was higher than statutory federal and state
tax rates primarily due to a change in unrecognized tax benefits and an
adjustment in the effective income tax rate expected to apply based on the
projected profitability of the Company for 2008. The income tax benefit for
the six months ended June 30, 2007 was lower than statutory federal and
state tax rates primarily due to the effect of tax-exempt interest on
certain investments on the annualized effective rate.
During the three months ended June 30, 2008, the Company reduced the amount
of accrued interest related to unrecognized tax benefits by $2,000 due to
the expiration of statutes of limitations. During the six months ended June
30, 2008, the Company accrued additional interest related to unrecognized
tax benefits of $1,000.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company decreased
the total unrecognized tax benefits by $11,000 due to the expiration of
statutes of limitations.
The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax of
multiple state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company has substantially
concluded all U.S. federal income tax matters for years through 2003. The
Company has operations in approximately 30 state and foreign taxing
jurisdictions. The Company has substantially concluded state income tax
matters for years through 2002.
(12) Legal Proceedings
-----------------
From time to time, the Company is involved in various claims and legal
actions arising in the ordinary course of business. Although the amount of
any liability that could arise with respect to currently pending actions
cannot be accurately predicted, in the opinion of management, the ultimate
disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the
Company's financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

The following discussion and analysis of the Company's financial condition
and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited
financial statements and related notes thereto included in this Quarterly Report
on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2008, 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, 2007. 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.

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 and
falls, the Company may see a corresponding change in the rate of new orders, and
therefore, a corresponding change in the backlog of orders 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 of orders is generally indicative of customer demand for
the Company's products. As the demand for the Company's products increases, the
backlog of orders, the rate of new orders, and sales also typically increases.
The following table depicts the Company's backlog of orders, orders, sales, and
Capacity Utilization for the six months ended June 30, 2008, and for the years
ended December 31, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, and 2003:

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
------------------------------------------
The discussion and analysis of the Company's financial condition and
results of operations are based upon the Company's financial statements, which
have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company
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 the
Company's financial statements. Actual results may, under different assumptions
and conditions, differ significantly from the Company's estimates.
The Company believes that its accounting policies related to revenue
recognition on system sales, warranty, and inventories are its "critical
accounting policies." These policies have been reviewed with the Audit Committee
of the Board of Directors and are discussed in greater detail below.
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, 2008, there are 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 had cost
overruns which resulted in a reduction in profits on one contract during the six
months ended June 30, 2008.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
------- ---------------------------------------------------------------
Results of Operations (Continued)
---------------------
Accrued Product Warranties
--------------------------
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, typically two percent
of the cost of the system being sold. 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 warranty
reserve as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 was $431,000 and $234,000,
respectively.
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 new cost basis is removed from the
accounts.
(a) Results of Operations - Six Months Ended June 30, 2008 Compared to the Six
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Months Ended June 30, 2007
--------------------------
Earnings Summary
----------------
The Company had a net loss of $3,000 (or $0.00 basic loss per share) for
the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to a net loss of $257,000 (or $0.09
basic loss per share) for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The decrease in
the net loss was primarily due to:
o an increase during the first half of 2008 in gross profit of $86,000,
as described below; and
o a decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses of $311,000
as described below.
Partially offsetting the above decrease in the net loss was:
o an increase in product development costs of $38,000 as described below;
o a decrease of $15,000 in interest income attributable to the lower
level of funds available for investment as the Company liquidated a
portion of its short-term investments to fund the Company's stock
repurchase activities and the reduced level of interest rates earned on
funds available for investment;
o a decrease of $18,000 in other income, net attributable to a decrease
in royalty income from a license agreement related to material handling
equipment sales; and
o a decrease in the income tax benefit of $72,000 as described below.

The decrease in sales was associated with a smaller amount of orders
received during 2008 when compared to the amount of orders received during 2007.
Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, for the six months ended June 30,
2008, when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2007, was favorably
impacted by 5.6% due to product mix, and unfavorably impacted by 3.4% due to the
reduced absorption of overhead costs.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
--------------------------------------------
Selling, general and administrative expenses of $2,629,000 were lower by
$311,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 than for the six months ended
June 30, 2007. The favorable variance in selling, general and administrative
expenses was primarily attributable to a decrease of $279,000 of expenditures
relating to sales efforts in response to quoting and sales activities, and a
decrease of $101,000 in professional fees and consulting expenses. Partially
offsetting the aforementioned favorable variance was an increase of $73,000 in
marketing expenses primarily associated with product promotion.
Product Development Costs
-------------------------
Product development costs, including patent expense, of $106,000 were
higher by $38,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 than for the six months
ended June 30, 2007. Development programs in the six months ended June 30, 2008
and 2007 were primarily aimed at improvements to the Company's Order Fulfillment
systems technologies. Order Fulfillment development efforts during the six
months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 included voice-directed replenishment and
DISPEN-SI-MATIC(R) software enhancements aimed at promoting workplace
efficiencies for the Company's customers.
Interest Income
---------------
Interest income of $214,000 was lower by $15,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 2008 than for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The decrease in
interest income was attributable to the lower level of funds available for
investment as the Company liquidated a portion of its short-term investments to
fund the Company's stock repurchase activities and the reduced level of interest
rates earned on funds available for investment.
Other Income, Net
-----------------
The unfavorable variance of $18,000 in other income, net for the six months
ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2007 was
primarily attributable to a decrease in royalty income from a license agreement
related to material handling equipment sales. Effective February 1, 2007, the
license agreement became royalty-free. Therefore, the Company no longer receives
royalty income from the license agreement.
Income Tax Expense (Benefit)
---------------------------
The Company recognized an income tax benefit of $26,000 during the six
months ended June 30, 2008 compared to an income tax benefit of $98,000 during
the six months ended June 30, 2007. The income tax benefit for the six months
ended June 30, 2008 was higher than statutory federal and state tax rates
primarily due to a change in unrecognized tax benefits and an adjustment in the
effective income tax rate expected to apply based on the projected profitability
of the Company for 2008. The income tax benefit for the six months ended June
30, 2007 was lower than statutory federal and state tax rates primarily due to
the effect of tax-exempt interest on certain investments on the annualized
effective rate.

Earnings Summary
----------------
The Company had a net loss of $109,000 (or $0.04 basic loss per share) for
the three months ended June 30, 2008, compared to net income of $11,000 (or
$0.00 basic earnings per share) for the three months ended June 30, 2007. The
decrease in net income was primarily due to:
o a decrease during the second quarter of 2008 in sales and gross
profit of $1,896,000, and $510,000, respectively, as
described below; and
o a decrease of $24,000 in interest income attributable to the lower
level of funds available for investment as the Company liquidated a
portion of its short-term investments to fund the Company's stock
repurchase activities and the reduced level of interest rates earned on
funds available for investment.
Partially offsetting the above decrease in net income was:
o a decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses of $276,000
as described below; and
o an increase in the income tax benefit of $133,000 as described below.
Net Sales and Gross Profit on Sales
-----------------------------------
2008 2007

Net sales.............................................. $ 4,123,000 6,019,000
Cost of sales.......................................... 3,158,000 4,544,000

Gross profit on sales.................................. $ 965,000 1,475,000
================= ==================
Gross profit as a percentage of sales.................. 23.4% 24.5%
================= ==================
The decrease in sales was associated with a smaller amount of orders
received during 2008 when compared to the amount of orders received during 2007.
Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, for the three months ended June 30,
2008, when compared to the three months ended June 30, 2007, was favorably
impacted by 6.2% due to product mix, and unfavorably impacted by 7.3% due to the
reduced absorption of overhead costs.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
--------------------------------------------
Selling, general and administrative expenses of $1,260,000 were lower by
$276,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 than for the three months
ended June 30, 2007. The favorable variance in selling, general and
administrative expenses was primarily attributable to a decrease of $170,000 of
expenditures relating to sales efforts in response to quoting and sales
activities, and a decrease of $144,000 in professional fees and consulting
expenses. Partially offsetting the aforementioned favorable variance was an
increase of $47,000 in marketing expenses primarily associated with product
promotion.

Interest Income
---------------
Interest income of $93,000 was lower by $24,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 2008 than for the three months ended June 30, 2007. The decrease in
interest income was attributable to the lower level of funds available for
investment as the Company liquidated a portion of its short-term investments to
fund the Company's stock repurchase activities and the reduced level of interest
rates earned on funds available for investment.
Income Tax Expense (Benefit)
---------------------------
The Company recognized an income tax benefit of $103,000 during the
three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to income tax expense of $30,000
during the three months ended June 30, 2007. The income tax benefit for the
three months ended June 30, 2008 was higher than statutory federal and state tax
rates primarily due to an adjustment in the effective income tax rate expected
to apply based on the projected profitability of the Company for 2008 and a
change in unrecognized tax benefits. Income tax expense for the three months
ended June 30, 2007 was higher than statutory federal and state tax rates
primarily due to tax-exempt interest, a change in unrecognized tax benefits, and
an adjustment in the effective income tax rate expected to apply based on the
projected profitability of the Company for 2007.
------------------------------
Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------
The Company's cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments at June
30, 2008 were $11,070,000, representing 72.3% of total assets, compared to
$12,304,000, or 67.2% of total assets, at December 31, 2007. The decrease was
primarily due to the repurchase and retirement of common stock totaling
$541,000, purchases of capital equipment totaling $100,000, and cash used by
operating activities totaling $593,000.
Cash used by operating activities totaling $593,000 during the six months
ended June 30, 2008 was primarily due to the following factors:
o a decrease in customers' deposits and billings in excess of costs
and estimated earnings in the amount of $2,272,000 in accordance
with contractual requirements; and
o an increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the amount
of $193,000 primarily associated with payment of insurance premiums for
the current year.

Partially offset by the following factors:
o a decrease in receivables in the amount of $1,067,000 in accordance

o a decrease in costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings in
the amount of $828,000 in accordance with contractual requirements.
The Company's cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments at June
30, 2007 were $11,551,000, representing 62.4% of total assets, compared to
$12,072,000, or 72.1% of total assets, at December 31, 2006. The decrease was
primarily due to the repurchase and retirement of common stock totaling
$567,000, and purchases of capital equipment totaling $43,000, partially offset
by cash provided by operating activities totaling $89,000.
Cash provided by operating activities totaling $89,000 during the six
months ended June 30, 2007 was primarily due to:
o an increase in accounts payable in the amount of $1,840,000 associated
with the purchases of goods and services rendered
in accordance with job completion requirements; and
o an increase in customers' deposits and billing in excess of costs and
estimated earnings in the amount of $892,000 in accordance with
contractual requirements.
Partially offset by the following factors:
o an increase in costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings
in the amount of $1,843,000 in accordance with contractual
requirements;
o a net loss in the amount of $257,000 for the first half of 2007;
o an increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the amount
of $192,000 primarily associated with payment of insurance premiums
for the current year; and
o an increase in inventories in the amount of $327,000 relating to the
purchase of safety stock and long-lead time items.
The Company repurchased $541,000 of its common stock during the six months
ended June 30, 2008 compared with $567,000 of stock repurchases during the six
months ended June 30, 2007. The Company's Board of Directors amended its
existing stock repurchase program by increasing the amount it has authorized
management to repurchase from up to $15,000,000 of the Company's common stock to
up to $17,000,000. As of June 30, 2008, the Company has $2,343,070 authorized by
the Board of Directors to use for future stock repurchases.
The Company has a line of credit facility which may not exceed $5,000,000
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%. As of June 30,
2008, the Company did not have any borrowings under the line of credit facility;
however, the leasing agreement associated with the Company's principal office is
secured with a $200,000 letter of credit. Therefore, as of June 30, 2008, the
amount of available line of credit was $4,800,000.
The line of credit facility contains various non-financial covenants and is
secured by all of the Company's accounts receivables and inventory. The Company
was in compliance with all covenants as of June 30, 2008. The line of credit
facility expires effective September 30, 2008. The Company expects to renew the
line of credit facility under similar terms and conditions during 2008.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and

Liquidity and Capital Resources (Continued)
-------------------------------
The Company anticipates that its financial resources, consisting of cash
and cash equivalents and short-term investments, 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 continues to review opportunities with the goal of maximizing
resources, increasing stockholder value, and considering strategies and
transactions intended to improve liquidity. At this time, the Company believes
that an increase in stockholder value will be best obtained through increases in
the Company's internal technology base, strengthening the Company's sales and
marketing capabilities, growth of the Company's continuing operations and other
higher growth markets, by the enhancement of the Company's products with
advanced proprietary software capabilities through research and development
efforts and/or possible acquisitions, mergers, and joint ventures. Although the
Company enters into preliminary discussions and non-disclosure agreements from
time to time, the Company does not have any material definitive agreements in
place. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to consummate any of
these strategic options.
Contractual Obligations
-----------------------
The Company leases approximately 25,000 square feet in Easton, Pennsylvania
for use as its principal office. The leasing agreement, as amended, requires
fixed monthly rental payments of $18,000. The terms of the lease also require
the payment of a proportionate share of the facility's operating expenses. The
leasing agreement is secured with a $200,000 letter of credit. The lease expires
on February 20, 2013.
Future contractual obligations and commercial commitments at June 30, 2008
as noted above are as follows:

The timing of cash settlement cannot be reasonably estimated.
The Company has an Executive Officer Severance Policy (the "Severance
Policy") for executive officers without an employment agreement, which applies
in the event that an executive officer is terminated by the Company for reasons
other than "cause," as such term is defined in the Severance Policy. Under the
Severance Policy, executive officers will receive a portion of their regular
straight-time pay based on their position and length of service with the
Company, medical coverage, and executive outplacement services. For further

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), obligations (including contingent obligations) under a contract
that would be accounted for as a derivative instrument, or obligations
(including contingent obligations) arising out of variable interests in
unconsolidated entities providing financing, liquidity, market risk, or credit

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
-----------------------------------------
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
157, Fair Value Measurements ("SFAS No. 157"). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value,
establishes a market-based framework or hierarchy for measuring fair value, and
expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is applicable
whenever another accounting pronouncement requires or permits assets and
liabilities to be measured at fair value. SFAS No. 157 does not expand or
require any new fair value measures. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are to be
applied prospectively and are effective for financial statements issued for
fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS No. 157's fair value
measurement requirements for non-financial assets and liabilities that are not
required or permitted to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis have
been deferred until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company
has certain non-financial assets, such as long-lived assets, that may be
re-measured to fair value on a non-recurring basis. The Company adopted SFAS No.
157 on January 1, 2008. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have a material
impact on the Company's financial statements.
In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities -
Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 ("SFAS No. 159"). SFAS No. 159
permits entities to elect to measure many financial instruments and certain
other items at fair value. Upon adoption of SFAS No. 159, an entity may elect
the fair value option for eligible items that exist at the adoption date.
Subsequent to the initial adoption, the election of the fair value option should
only be made at initial recognition of the asset or liability or upon a
remeasurement event that gives rise to new-basis accounting. The decision about
whether to elect the fair value option is applied on an instrument-by-
instrument basis, is irrevocable and is applied only to an entire instrument and
not only to specified risks, cash flows or portion of that instrument. SFAS No.
159 does not affect any existing accounting literature that requires certain
assets and liabilities to be carried at fair value nor does it eliminate
disclosure requirements included in other accounting standards. SFAS No. 159 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company
adopted SFAS No. 159 on January 1, 2008. The adoption of SFAS No. 159 did not
have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)
-----------------------------------------
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
141(R), Business Combinations ("SFAS No. 141R"). SFAS No. 141R replaces SFAS No.
141, Business Combinations and applies to all transactions or other events in
which an entity obtains control of one or more businesses. SFAS No. 141R
requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize all (and
only) the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction;
establishes the acquisition-date fair value as the measurement objective for all
assets acquired and liabilities assumed; and requires the acquirer to disclose
additional information needed to evaluate and understand the nature and
financial effect of the business combination. SFAS No. 141R is effective
prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and may not be
applied before that date. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if
any, the adoption of SFAS No. 141R will have on the Company's financial
statements.
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements--an amendment
of ARB No. 51 ("SFAS No. 160"). SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years, and
interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15,
2008, with earlier adoption prohibited. SFAS No. 160 requires the recognition of
a noncontrolling interest (minority interest) as equity in the consolidated
financial statements and separate from the parent's equity. The amount of net
earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interest will be included in
consolidated net income on the face of the income statement. SFAS No. 160 also
amends certain of ARB No. 51's consolidation procedures for consistency with the
requirements of SFAS No. 141R. SFAS No. 160 also includes expanded disclosure
requirements regarding the interests of the parent and its noncontrolling
interest. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, the adoption
of SFAS No. 160 will have on the Company's financial statements.
In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 162,
The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("SFAS No. 162"). SFAS
No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for
selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements
of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States. This Statement will become
effective 60 days following the SEC's approval of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (PCAOB) amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present
Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The Company
does not anticipate a material impact on its financial statements from the
adoption of SFAS No. 162.

Item 3. 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) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
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, 2008. 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 accumulated and
communicated to the Company's management, including the Company's CEO and
CFO, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, and is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported as specified in Securities and
Exchange Commission rules and forms.
(b) Change in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
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 fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2008 that
has materially affected, or that is reasonably likely to materially affect
the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
------ -----------------------------------------------------------
(Continued)
Based on market conditions and other factors, additional repurchases may be
made from time to time, in compliance with SEC regulations, in the open market
or through privately negotiated transactions at the discretion of the Company.
There is no expiration date with regards to the stock repurchase program. The
purchase price for the shares of the Company's common stock repurchased was
reflected as a reduction to stockholders' equity. The Company allocates the
purchase price of the repurchased shares as a reduction to common stock for the
par value of the shares repurchased, with the excess of the purchase price over
par value being allocated between additional paid-in capital and retained
earnings. All shares of common stock that were repurchased by the Company since
the inception of the program were subsequently retired.
