PAR TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION ANNOUNCES

2010 FOURTH QUARTER & YEAR END RESULTS

Revenues grow 10.7% in Quarter and 7.6% for the year
 
_________________________________________________________________
 
 
NEW HARTFORD, NY, PAR TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION (NYSE:PAR)
 
New Hartford, NY- February 9, 2011 -- PAR Technology Corporation (NYSE: PAR), a provider of integrated hardware, software and service solutions to the restaurant, hotel/resort, and hospitality industries along with information technology services to the U.S. Department of Defense and federal and state government agencies, today reported fourth quarter and year end 2010 financial results.

For the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2010, PAR reported revenues of $64.4 million an increase of 10.7% when compared to the $58.2 million reported for the fourth quarter of 2009.  The Company reported net income of $1.2 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.08 for the period, versus a net loss of $4.9 million and loss per diluted share of $0.33 reported for the same period last year.

For fiscal year 2010, PAR reported total revenues of $239.9 million, an increase of 7.6% when compared to the $223 million reported for fiscal year 2009.  Net income for the year was $3.1 million, and $0.21 earnings per diluted share.  The results represent a dramatic increase from the net loss of $5.2 million and loss per diluted share of $0.36 for fiscal year 2009.

In 2009, fourth quarter and fiscal year results included one-time charges that reduced operating income by approximately $6.5 million, comprised of $1.2 million related to personnel actions, and $5.3 million related to inventory.  In addition the Company recorded a $1.4 million valuation allowance for certain deferred tax assets.

“Our improved fourth quarter sales and earnings were based on the strength of our product and service offerings along with the successful and continued implementation of the McDonald’s North American rollout.   In 2010, as the economy slowly improved, we experienced growth in most sectors of our hospitality business while some particular sectors remained flat to down awaiting still further economic improvement. While our government business’ growth was temporarily interrupted due to the timing of the contractual cycle, we expect growth to be restored in 2011,” said John W. Sammon, PAR Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “During 2010 we continued to invest in several key initiatives to accelerate our long term sales growth.  NextGen investments in software for restaurants and hotels continue to make progress and we expect meaningful results in 2011 and beyond.  Our focus continues to be on expanding new business lines through channel growth, international reach and new product offerings.”
