                        For Immediate Release

           CONSOLIDATED TOMOKA ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER EARNINGS
        DAYTONA BEACH, FLORIDA - Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co. (AMEX CTO)
today reported net income of $.31 per share and earnings before
depreciation and deferred taxes (EBDDT) of $.53 per share and for the
quarter ended March 31, 2003.  The comparable numbers for the first
quarter of 2002 were a net loss of $.02 per share and EBDDT of $.00 per
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,
"First quarter operating results were favorably impacted by several land
sales closings and higher lease revenues generated by income properties.
Interest in Company lands for all aspects of real estate uses remains
strong."
        Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co. is a Florida based Company primarily
engaged in the real estate industry.  Real estate operations include
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.

3 "Safe Harbor" Certain statements contained in this press release (other than the financial statements and statements of historical fact), are forward- looking statements. The words "believe," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "anticipate," "will," "could," "may," "should," "plan," "potential," "predict," "forecast," 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, 2003, 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 market demand of the Company's real estate parcels, income properties, timber and other products; the impact of competitive real estate; changes in pricing by the Company or its competitors; the costs and other effects of complying with environmental and other regulatory requirements; losses due to natural disasters; and changes in national, regional or local economic and political conditions, such as inflation, deflation, or fluctuation in interest rates. 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. 4
