CONSOLIDATED TOMOKA ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER EARNINGS
 
DAYTONA BEACH, FLORIDA - Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co. (AMEX–CTO) today reported net income of $156,124 or $.03 basic earnings per share and earnings before depreciation, amortization and deferred taxes (EBDDT) of $348,037 or $.06 per basic share for the quarter ended March 31, 2008.  The comparable numbers for the first quarter of 2007 were a net loss of $583,812 or $.10 basic loss per share and EBDDT of $333,210 or $.06 per basic share.
EBDDT is being provided to reflect the impact of the Company’s business strategy of investing in income properties utilizing tax deferred exchanges.  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, “Positive operating results were achieved despite no scheduled land sales closings during the first quarter. These results were also impacted by a decrease in general and administrative expenses resulting from lower stock option expenses due to a change in the Company’s stock price. Historically, the first quarter of each year has few closings with most occurring in the third and fourth quarters.  Although new contract activity is down for the quarter, the current contract backlog dollar volume remains healthy.  The Company’s adopted business plan was designed to allow the Company to remain profitable during slower economic periods.  We completed the acquisition of a Harris Teeter Supermarket in Charlotte, North Carolina today.  Our income property portfolio now totals 26 properties and over $9.2 million in annual revenues.”
Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co. is a Florida-based company primarily engaged in converting Company owned agricultural 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.ctlc.com

EBDDT - EARNINGS BEFORE DEPRECIATION, AMORTIZATION, AND DEFERRED TAXES. EBDDT IS NOT A MEASURE OF
  
OPERATING RESULTS OR CASH FLOWS FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES AS DEFINED BY U.S. 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, AMORTIZATION AND THE CHANGE IN DEFERRED INCOME TAXES
  
TO NET INCOME (LOSS) AS THEY REPRESENT NON-CASH CHARGES.

Certain statements contained in this press release (other than statements of historical fact) are forward-looking statements.  The words “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “will,” “could,” “may,” “should,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “forecast,” “project,” and similar expressions and variations thereof identify certain of such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the dates on which they were made.  Forward-looking statements are made based upon management’s expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effect upon the Company.  There can be no assurance that future developments will be in accordance with management’s expectations or that the effect of future developments on the Company will be those anticipated by management.

The Company wishes to caution readers that the assumptions which form the basis for forward-looking statements with respect to or that may impact earnings for the year ended December 31, 2008, and thereafter include many factors that are beyond the Company’s ability to control or estimate precisely.  These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the strength of the real estate market in the City of Daytona Beach in Volusia County, Florida; our ability to successfully execute acquisition or development strategies; any loss of key management personnel; changes in local, regional and national economic conditions affecting the real estate development business and income properties; the impact of environmental and land use regulations; the impact of competitive real estate activity; variability in quarterly results due to the unpredictable timing of land sales; the loss of any major income property tenants; and the availability of capital.  Additional information concerning these and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those forward-looking statements is contained from time to time in the Company’s Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including, but not limited to, the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. Copies of each filing may be obtained from the Company or the SEC.

While the Company periodically reassesses material trends and uncertainties affecting its results of operations and financial condition, the Company does not intend to review or revise any particular forward-looking statement referenced herein in light of future events.

Disclosures in this press release regarding the Company’s first quarter financial results are preliminary and are subject to change in connection with the Company’s preparation and filing of its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2008.  The financial information in this release reflects the Company’s preliminary results subject to completion of the quarterly review process.  The final results for the quarter may differ from the preliminary results discussed above due to factors that include, but are not limited to, risks associated with final review of the results and preparation of financial statements.
