        CONSOLIDATED TOMOKA ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER EARNINGS

      DAYTONA BEACH, FLORIDA - Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co. (AMEX-CTO)
announced today net income of $2,688,847 or $.47 per share and
earnings before depreciation, amortization and deferred taxes (EBDDT)
of $2,734,245 or $.49 per share for the quarter ended September 30,
2005.  The comparable numbers for the third quarter of 2004 were net
income of $732,535 or $.13 per share and EBDDT of $1,120,425 or $.20
per share.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, net income
totaled $12,622,406 or $2.23 basic earnings per share, compared with
net income of $1,092,529 or $.19 per share in 2004.  EBDDT totaled
$16,107,728 or $2.85 per share in 2005's first nine months, compared
with $2,303,698 or $.41 per share in 2004 for the same period.

      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
understanding the Company's operating results.

      William H. McMunn, president and chief executive officer,
stated, "Third quarter operating results improved due to higher land
sales and growing income property revenues compared with the same
quarter of 2004.  Six free-standing income properties have been
acquired during 2005, bringing the total inventory to twenty-two
properties located in Florida, Georgia and North Carolina.  Profits
for the quarter were also positively impacted by reduced stock option
expense accruals.  The company has a backlog of contracts expected to
close during the fourth quarter of 2005."

      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.
