The Company's engineered products segment generated revenue growth of 29% and 39% in the fourth quarter and full year of 2010, respectively, versus the comparable intervals of 2009, resulting in the reversal of a full year loss in the prior year.
Annual revenues from our hotel operations climbed 61% over the prior year as a result of the August 2009 acquisition of the DoubleTree Hotel & Miami Airport Convention Center, as well as from improvements in our other lodging properties, which resulted in operating profits in the quarter and year ended December 31, 2010 versus losses incurred in the corresponding prior year periods.
