Maui Land & Pineapple Co. lost $1.5 million, or 20 cents a share, in the fourth quarter of last year, due largely to poor performance in the company's agriculture business.

Revenues for the fourth quarter were $46.5 million, down from $53.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2005. The agriculture business produced an operating loss of $8.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2006 compared to an operating loss of $4.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2005.
