PGN Pgnx Capital Corporation

Paragon Pharmacies Limited ("Paragon" or "the Corporation") (TSX VENTURE:PGN)
today reported its financial results for the third quarter ending May 31, 2009.


Revenue was $21.615 million compared to $22.357 million in the same period last
year, a decrease of 3.3 per cent. Third quarter gross margin was $8.276 million
or 38.3 per cent, an increase of 1.5 per cent over last year.


Operating income was $2.608 million, compared to $1.790 million in the same
period last year, an increase of 45.7 per cent. The increase was primarily the
result of a reduction in operating expenses. The net earnings for the quarter
was $0.071 million compared to a net loss of ($2.406) million in the same period
last year. This improvement was principally due to the conversion of the
debenture in the first quarter.


In the third quarter, the Corporation began re-signing, repainting and
refreshing the nine stores in Alberta. The redevelopment of the Airdrie, AB
location progressed, with the planned opening date in the new location to be
late July. These achievements, in conjunction with the re-branding marketing
initiatives, will reinforce the Paragon brand in the Alberta marketplace.


Store improvements together with a focus on refining processes and streamlining
costs as well as ongoing investment into store renovations and information
technology, will enable Paragon Pharmacies to pursue its business strategy to
grow into one of Canada's premier mid-market pharmacy chains.


Lorraine McGrath, President, said, "We are building a pharmacy chain with our
customers in mind. An integral part of Paragon's success is our people who are
the heart and soul of our brand, who serve our customers with care and
compassion and who are key to Paragon achieving its goal of growing and
developing the Company."
