          CONSOLIDATED TOMOKA ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER EARNINGS

      DAYTONA BEACH, FLORIDA - Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co. (AMEX CTO)
today reported net income of $9,082,433 or $1.61 basic per share
earnings and earnings before depreciation, amortization and deferred
taxes (EBDDT) of $14,480,653 or $2.56 per share for the quarter ended
March 31, 2005.  The comparable numbers for the first quarter of 2004
were a net loss of $131,039 or $.02 per share and negative EBDDT of
$265,870 ($.05) per share.

      EBDDT is being provided to reflect the impact of the Company's
business strategy of investing in income properties.  This strategy
generates significant amounts of depreciation and deferred taxes.  The
Company believes EBDDT is useful, along with net income, to
understand the Company's operating results.

      William H. McMunn, president and chief executive officer,
stated, "First quarter operating results were favorably impacted by
the sale of 174 acres, including approximately 120 acres to Florida
Hospital, which has announced plans to construct a new hospital on the
property.  Improved earnings were also experienced by the Company's
growing portfolio of income properties.  In January, the Company
acquired a Lowe's Home Improvement Center located in North Carolina.
The Company has contracts pending on five selected income properties
to reinvest the proceeds of its current land sales.  Overall sales
activity remains strong and the Company has a significant backlog of
contracts to close."

      Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co. is a Florida-based Company
primarily engaged in converting Company owned timber lands into a
portfolio of income properties strategically located throughout the
Southeast, and development, management and sale of targeted real
estate properties.  Visit our website at www.consolidatedtomoka.com

EBDDT is not a measure of operating results or cash flows from operating activities as defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Further, EBDDT is not necessarily indicative of cash availability to fund cash needs and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. The Company believes, however, that EBDDT provides relevant information about operations and is useful, along with net income, for an understanding of the Company's operating results. EBDDT is calculated by adding depreciation, amortization, and deferred income taxes to net income as they represent non-cash charges.
