This decrease in net earnings compared to prior year was primarily due to a gain on sale of investment property in the prior period of $30,340,556 offset by an overall increase in earnings from operations.
Revenue and income from the rental apartment operations increased due to acquisitions of investment properties in the prior year, a decrease in vacancy rates, and increased rents on tenant turnover. Revenues and earnings from the Company's hotels increased due to higher occupancy and average daily rates. Revenues from the Company's development operations decreased due to the closing of condominium units in the prior period.
