Q4-2004 was a challenging quarter with a good operating
outcome for the Company.
One of the challenges in managing a multi-unit operating
business is maintaining performance at our superior units
while working diligently to improve performance at other units.
This product and geographical diversification also provides
some positive surprises from time to time.
I am particularly pleased with the Hospitality results
as they were made during a time of some obvious challenges.
They are particularly gratifying as nobody seems to have seen
the improved results materializing as we all had our heads
down working hard. It is a very pleasant “surprise”
but upon reflection, it is an obvious development. Everybody
was working hard and good things happen when we work hard.
The improvement in Hospitality has also made us look
very critically at the book of future business. Much of the
positive results in Q4-2004 are also evident in the future
bookings and we are cautiously optimistic that this is a trend
that will continue.
The business is simply getting better as the economy
continues to improve and lots of people are pouring their
hearts and souls into realizing the potential of this business
unit. Thanks to everyone from Premiere and Word of Mouth for
their hard work. Should this improvement continue and all
other business units continue to improve at the same rate,
earnings in 2005 will be materially better.
Entertainment continues to grow in a methodical and
orderly fashion though there continue to be pockets of both
challenge and opportunity.”
