NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. Principles of Interim Statements. The following unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures which are normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. The information presented in the unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of the management, necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods. The consolidated condensed format is designed to be read in conjunction with the last annual report. The consolidated condensed financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. 2. Seasonal Operations. The Company's citrus operations involve a single-crop agricultural commodity and are seasonal in nature. To a lesser extent, forestry activities are seasonal in nature. Accordingly, results for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. Results of operations for the twelve months ended March 31,1997 and 1996 are summarized as follows (in thousands): Twelve Months Ended March 31, ------------------------------------------------ 1997 1996 ------------------------------------------------ Revenues Income Revenues Income -------- ------------ -------- ----------- Citrus Operations $13,117 $ 3,192 $10,267 $ 2,096 Real Estate Operations 5,698 1,937 9,634 4,400 General Corporate & Other 6,634 3,215 7,064 3,684 ------ ----- ------ ----- Total Revenues $25,449 $26,965 ====== ====== Income Before Income Taxes 8,344 10,180 Income Taxes ( 3,164) ( 3,857) ------ ------ Net Income $ 5,180 $ 6,323 ====== ====== 3. Common Stock and Earnings Per Common Share. Primary earnings per share are based on the average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding during the periods. Primary and fully diluted earnings per share are the same for the periods. 6

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 "Earnings Per Share," (SFAS 128). SFAS 128 establishes new standards for computing and presenting earnings per share (EPS). Specifically, SAS 128 replaces the presentation of primary EPS with a presentation basic of EPS, requires dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital stuctures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. SFAS 128 is effective for financial statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997; earlier application is not permitted. EPS for the periods ended March 31, 1997 and March 31, 1996 computed under SFAS 128 would not be different than that previously computed. 4. Notes Payable. Notes payable consist of the following: March 31, 1997 ------------------------------------------- Due Within Total One Year ------------------------------------------- Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co. ---------------------------- $ 7,000,000 Line of Credit $ - $ - Mortgage Payable 9,365,441 251,109 Industrial Revenue Bond 2,774,936 295,142 ---------- -------- 12,140,377 546,251 ---------- -------- Indigo Group Ltd. ---------------- Industrial Revenue Bond 1,921,900 56,400 Mortgages Payable 3,726,620 36,139 ---------- -------- 5,648,520 92,539 ---------- -------- Total $17,788,897 $ 638,790 ========== ======== Indigo Group Ltd.

Total --------------------- ------------- ------- ----------- 1998 $ 546,251 $ 92,539 $ 638,790 1999 621,499 2,546,881 3,168,380 2000 675,262 56,400 731,662 2001 733,681 56,400 790,081 2002 797,167 1,696,300 2,493,467 Thereafter 8,766,517 1,200,000 9,966,517 ---------- ---------- ---------- $12,140,377 $5,648,520 $17,788,897 ========== ========== ========== In the first three months of 1997 interest totaled $427,945, of which $50,000 was capitalized to land held for development and sale. Total interest for three months ended March 31, 1996 was $426,827 of which $57,795 was capitalized to land held for development and sale. 8

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS The Management's Discussion and Analysis is designed to be read in conjunction with the financial statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis in the last annual report. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Citrus Operation Citrus profits declined 48% to $874,882 for the first three months of 1997 when compared to prior year's same period $1,694,436 profit. Revenues totaling $4,422,426 represent a 14% decrease as the result of an 8% fall in fruit harvested and sold combined with a 7% reduction in average fruit pricing. Boxes produced during 1997's first quarter amounted to 511,000 compared to 1996's total of 555,000 boxes. Pricing on both fresh and processed fruit contributed to the fall in average pricing. Production and selling expenses rose 2% during the period, the result of additional packing costs associated with a 4% increase in fresh fruit along with lower handling credits associated with a 95% reduction in outside growers fruit processed. Real Estate Operations Profits from real estate operations posted a 97% decline to $55,141. This compares to 1996's first quarter profit of $1,590,760. This downturn can be attributed to the absence of commercial real estate closings in 1997; whereas, closings of commercial real estate in the first quarter of 1996 totaled 22 acres and generated revenue and gross profits of $1,615,000 and $1,460,000, respectively. Revenue from income properties decreased 32%, producing a small loss compared to a small profit one year earlier. The sale of the 70,000 square foot shopping center located in Spring Hill, Florida which occurred in June 1996 and the December 1996 sale of the 24,000 square foot Daytona Beach, Florida office building accounted for these declines. Decreased harvesting resulted in a 17% decline in both revenues and profits from forestry operations, with profits totaling $181,808 in 1997's first quarter. A 125% gain was posted from subsurface income as both oil royalties, on increased production, and income from oil and mineral leases rose during the period, combining to add $55,780 to the bottom line. General, Corporate and Other Interest and other income rose 73% for the first quarter of 1997, primarily due to increased interest recorded on mortgage notes receivable from year end 1996 real estate closings. General and administrative expenses posted a nominal 4% increase for the period. 9

FINANCIAL POSITION Company profits of $226,304, equivalent to $.04 per share, for 1997's first quarter represent an 86% downturn from 1996's same period $1,648,876 profit, equivalent to $.26 per share. The fall in profits can be traced to the absence of commercial real estate closings, coupled with lower citrus volume and pricing. Dividends totaling $1,878,382, equivalent to $.30 per share, were paid during the period and represent a 20% increase over prior year's first quarter dividend payment of $.25 per share. Overall cash including the dividend payment declined $1,370,042. Cash flow from operating activities provided $328,838, with cash from investing activities adding $338,376 and cash used in financing activities which includes dividends totaling $2,037,256. Total notes payable decreased during the period $158,874. Capital spending was minimal for the first quarter with $2.3 million dollars projected to be expended the remainder of the year. These capital dollars will be funded through operations and if necessary available financing sources. Company citrus groves remain in good condition, despite a lack of rain during the late winter and early spring. The overall spring bloom and subsequent fruit set on Company groves was very good and leads to projections of a strong crop for the upcoming 1997-1998 crop year. The cold temperatures experienced in early 1997 appear to have had little effect on Company groves and the current crop statewide, with the Florida orange crop forecast for the 1996-1997 season at a record 221 million boxes. Pricing pressures from Brazilian fruit coupled with the abundant crop have led to relatively weak pricing for both fresh and processed fruit. Activity at the Ladies Professional Golf Association ("LPGA") mixed-use development has been strong. The East Florida Building Association's Parade of Homes was held in March with the community hosting the "Grand Showcase Home" and attracting thousands of visitors. In early May the LPGA Sprint Titleholders golf tournament was held at the LPGA International golf course giving national exposure to the development. The development of the clubhouse, hotel and second golf course will soon be underway. Development continues on new residential products selling in the low $100,000 to mid $150,000 price range. Interest remains strong for land within the development and surrounding lands. Commercial real estate contract backlog for closing in 1997 stands at $6.0 million on the sale of 213 acres with several additional transactions in the negotiation stage. The conversion of the existing commercial real estate contract backlog and contracts under negotiation into closed transactions will be a key to profitable full year earnings. Continued strong fruit production with relative stable pricing is also important to near term earnings. 10
