<td>As a result of the suspension of the marketing of low nicotine and
nicotine-free cigarette products by Vector Tobacco and significant
reductions in Vector Tobacco’s related research activities, the
Company reevaluated its operating segments and combined the
Liggett and Vector Tobacco businesses into a single Tobacco segment.
The Company’s significant business segments for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, were Tobacco
and Real Estate. The Tobacco segment consists of the manufacture and
sale of cigarettes and the research related to reduced risk products.
The Real Estate segment includes the Company’s investment in Escena
and investments in non-consolidated real estate businesses. The
accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in
the summary of significant accounting policies. Prior period segment
information has been recast to conform to the current presentation.</td>
