Analysis of Results and General Business Commentary:

Paragon's investment gains or losses reflect realized gains or losses in the company's investment portfolio. Further analysis of Paragon's full year results is available in the annual letter to shareholders.

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.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus outbreak (COVID-19) a pandemic. The impact of COVID-19 could negatively impact the Company's operations. The extent to which COVID-19 could impact the Company's results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and actions taken to contain COVID-19 or its impact, among other factors.
