                           PAR TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION
                        -REPORTS SECOND QUARTER RESULTS-

            o HIGHEST REVENUE FOR SECOND QUARTER IN COMPANY HISTORY
        ----------------------------------------------------------------
             NEW HARTFORD, NY, PAR TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION (NYSE:PTC)

New Hartford,  NY--July 26, 2006--PAR Technology  Corporation  (NYSE:PTC - News)
today announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2006.

PAR reported  second quarter  revenues of $53.3 million,  a 4% increase from the
$51.2  million  reported  in the same  period a year  ago.  Net  income of $2.34
million was reported for the second  quarter  2006,  compared with net income of
$2.35  million in the second  quarter of 2005.  Diluted  earnings per share were
$0.16 for the second quarter of 2006, flat when compared to diluted earnings per
share of $0.16 for the second quarter of last year.  PAR is now expensing  stock
options and other  share-based  compensation  in  accordance  with  Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R. The 2006 second quarter results include
non-cash  stock-based  compensation  expense  of  $95,000,  compared  to no such
expense in the second quarter of 2005.

For the six months  ended June 30, 2006,  PAR  Technology  Corporation  reported
revenues of $106 million,  a 6% increase from the $100 million reported one year
ago.  The Company  also  reported  $4.3  million in net income for the first six
months of 2006 versus $3.7 million  reported for the first six months of 2005, a
19% rise year over year.  Diluted  earnings  per share rose 16% to $0.29 for the
first six months of 2006 compared to $0.25  reported for the first six months of
2005. In accordance  with Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 123R
the first six months 2006  results  include  non-cash  stock-based  compensation
expense of  $138,000  compared  to no such  expense  for the first six months of
2005.

John W. Sammon, PAR Chairman & CEO commented,  "Although posting record revenues
for our Company in the period,  overall second  quarter  results were lower than
planned.   Our  Hospitality   Technology  business  revenue  did  not  meet  our
expectations  due to a  combination  of factors;  the  largest  being lower than
expected hardware sales and a slight downturn in certain market segments such as
movie  theatres.  On the positive side,  restaurant  software and  international
sales continued to be strong."

Sammon went on to say,  "For the remainder of the year,  we are  anticipating  a
slightly slowing domestic  hospitality market  particularly in the casual dining
and  theatre  sectors.  Slowdown  in these  sectors  will  have an impact on our
business. There is less evidence of slow down in our core domestic quick service
restaurant  business  and our  international  business  is  expected to continue
double digit growth.  We are also confident  that our  Government  business will
remain on plan.  Considering  this quarter and our outlook for the  remainder of
2006, I feel it prudent to lower our revenue and earnings per share expectations
for the  year.  Anticipating  continued  softness  in  certain  segments  of our
Hospitality  business,  we now  anticipate top line growth for the year to be in
the range of 6% to 8% with  similar  bottom line  growth."

"We believe the long term outlook for our hospitality segment is quite positive.
Our confidence  stems from such events as PAR recently being selected by a major
customer to be their sole supplier of  technology  systems for their China based
restaurants.  In addition,  our Government  Systems business continues to exceed
our  operating  plan and I have  confidence  that the  positive  trends  in this
segment of our Company will continue."


Sammon concluded, "Our long term goal remains the same, to continue to invest in
and grow our hospitality technology businesses, and focus upon long term success
rather than short term gains.  That strategy  includes an  aggressive  marketing
program,  international  infrastructure  expansion and new product  development.
Although  these  initiatives  involve  incremental  costs that impact  near-term
earnings,  we  continue  to believe  these costs will  translate  into  enhanced
profitability and shareholder value for the future."
