DAYTONA BEACH, Fla., July 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co. (NYSE Amex: CTO) today reported net income of $187,809 or $.03 earnings per basic share for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, compared with net income of $2,171,192 or $.38 earnings per basic share for the same period in 2008. Earnings before depreciation, amortization and deferred taxes (EBDDT) totaled $.20 per basic share in 2009's second quarter, compared with $.71 per basic share in the corresponding period in 2008. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, net income totaled $510,015 or $.09 earnings per basic share and EBDDT totaled $.35 per basic share. The comparable numbers for the first six months of 2008 were net income of $2,327,316 or $.41 earnings per basic share and EBDDT of $.77 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, "The Company was able to generate a profit for the quarter despite having only one land sale because of its established business plan. The plan emphasizes low debt and stable income produced by an income properties portfolio of net-lease credit tenants. We believe our strategy, when compared to that of our peers, best protects long-term shareholder value. Quarterly results were negatively impacted by increased proxy contest expenses and stock option expenses resulting primarily from our stock's price increase, which collectively totaled over $2.5 million, or approximately $.27 per basic share, net of tax, compared with 2008's same period. We believe that our Company is well-positioned to weather the current real estate and overall economic downturns. Management continues to position the Company for the eventual economic upturn by focusing on long-range land planning and land use improvements." Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co. is a Florida-based company primarily engaged in converting Company owned agricultural lands into a portfolio of net lease income properties strategically located in the Southeast, through the efficient utilization of 1031 tax-deferred exchanges. The Company has low long-term debt and generates over $9 million annually before tax cash flow from its real estate portfolio. The Company also engages in selective self-development of targeted income properties. The Company's adopted strategy is designed to provide the financial strength and cash flow to weather difficult real estate cycles. Visit our website at http://www.ctlc.com/.
