        CONSOLIDATED TOMOKA ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER EARNINGS

DAYTONA BEACH, FLORIDA - Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co. (AMEX CTO)
announced today a net loss of $.02 per share and earnings before
depreciation and deferred taxes (EBDDT) of $.07 per share for the
quarter ended September 30, 2003.  The comparable numbers for the
third quarter of 2002 were net income of $.62 and EBDDT of $1.06 per
share.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, net income
totaled $1,390,043 or $.25 per share, compared with net income of
$5,924,548 or $1.06 per share in 2002.  EBDDT totaled $.56 per share
in 2003's first nine months, compared with $1.96 in 2002 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 McMunn, president and chief executive officer, stated,
"This year's third-quarter operating results were more typical with
historical third-quarter operating performance.  The Company has a
significant back log of contracts and the management team is focusing
its efforts on several real estate closings scheduled for the fourth
quarter of 2003.  Income from the Company's growing portfolio of
eleven net-lease properties continues to rise.  Consistent with our
long-term investment strategy, the Company is actively identifying and
acquiring additional income properties throughout Florida."

        Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co. is a Florida based Company
primarily engaged in the real estate industry.  Real estate operations
include investment in and development of land holdings in the Daytona
Beach area and the management of income properties strategically
located in Florida's rapid growth areas.

EBDDT - Earnings Before Depreciation and Deferred Taxes.  EBDDT is not
a measure of operating results or cash flows from operating activities
as defined by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.  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 and deferred income taxes
to net income as they represent non-cash charges.
