11 STEWART, Judge.
The Department of Transportation and Development brought expropriation lawsuits for two parcels of land owned by Charles Oswald and his wife. After consolidating the lawsuits, the trial court found that the Oswald properties were a business rather than an investment and that they were entitled to an amount that exceeded the fair market value of the property. DOTD was ordered to pay $358,542.44 plus legal interest and attorney’s fees. The state subsequently lodged this appeal. We reverse in part, modify in part, affirm in part, and render.
