“We are pleased to report the highest revenue for a fourth quarter in our history as well as the continuation of percentage growth in net income that exceeds growth in revenue, in spite of reduced tourist travel and a tightening economy.” said Joe Martori, Chairman and CEO. “Customers are prioritizing their commitments to spending quality time with family and friends. Our products fulfill their needs, in settings of spectacular natural beauty just a short drive from home, yet far away from everyday life. We look forward to building on our strong 2001 performance with the January 2002 opening of our Las Vegas Sales Center, located proximate to the Strip in Premiere Park. We are optimistic about the potential of this new sales venue. Not only does it provide access to Las Vegas` enormous tourist population, but the product we are offering, Premiere Vacation Club, is very well suited to the vacation styles of those visitors. Through Premiere Vacation Club, owners may vacation in Las Vegas, as well as the collection of ILX specialty resorts located in unique, yet conveniently accessible, destinations. The potential of the Las Vegas sales office will be further enhanced as development of Premiere Park continues in 2002 and beyond.”
