CONSOLIDATED-TOMOKA LAND CO.
PROXY STATEMENT
 
INTRODUCTION
 
This proxy statement and the enclosed form of proxy are being sent to the shareholders of Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co., a Florida corporation (the “Company”), on or about March 23, 2007, in connection with the solicitation by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors” or “Board”) of proxies to be used at the annual meeting of shareholders to be held on Wednesday, April 25, 2007 (and at any adjournment or adjournments thereof), for the purposes set forth in the accompanying notice of annual meeting. Shareholders who execute proxies retain the right to revoke them at any time before they are exercised by sending written notice to the secretary of the Company, by submitting a properly executed, later-dated proxy, or by attending the annual meeting and electing to vote in person.
 
The cost of preparing, assembling, and mailing material in connection with this solicitation will be borne by the Company.
 
At the close of business on March 1, 2007, there were 5,715,885 shares of common stock, $1 par value, of the Company outstanding. Each holder of common stock of record on that date is entitled to one vote for each share held by such shareholder on every matter submitted to the meeting. The Company’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws do not provide for cumulative voting for the election of directors, which is permitted but not required by Florida law.
 
See “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management” below for information as to the beneficial ownership of common stock of the Company as of March 1, 2007, by each director of the Company and by all directors and executive officers as a group.
 
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
 
The Company’s Articles of Incorporation divide the Board of Directors into three classes, as nearly equal as possible. At the 2007 annual meeting of shareholders, three Class I directors and two Class II directors are to be elected. The Class I directors are to be elected to hold office until the annual meeting of shareholders to be held in 2010, or until their successors are duly elected and qualified, and the Class II directors are to be elected to hold office until the annual meeting of shareholders to be held in 2008, or until their successors are duly elected and qualified.
 
All properly executed and returned proxies will be voted for the election of the persons named below who have been recommended to the Board of Directors by the Corporate Governance Committee as nominees for Class I and Class II unless authority to do so is withheld.
 
All nominees for Class I, John C. Adams, Jr., Bob D. Allen, and John C. Myers, III, are currently directors. The nominees for Class II, William H. Davison and James E. Jordan, have been nominated to replace Byron E. Hodnett and Robert F. Lloyd, who will retire effective at the annual meeting of shareholders in April. Each nominee has indicated his willingness to serve if elected. If any nominee should be unable to serve, which is not now anticipated, the proxy will be voted for such other persons as shall be determined by the persons named in the proxy in accordance with their judgment.
 
1

The election of Messrs. Adams, Allen, Davison, Jordan, and Myers will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a plurality of the shares present or represented at the meeting. The Board of Directors of the Company recommends a vote “for” the election of Messrs. Adams, Allen, and Myers in Class I, and Messrs. Davison and Jordan in Class II.
 
Proxies solicited by the Board will be so voted unless shareholders specify in their proxies a contrary choice. Abstentions will be treated as shares represented at the meeting, but not voting, so they will have no effect on the outcome of the voting to elect directors. Broker non-votes will not be considered shares represented at the meeting.
 
Additional information concerning the nominees and the directors appears below.

Cash Compensation

Each non-employee director of the Company is paid an annual retainer of $15,000, payable quarterly, in compensation for service as a director, plus $1,500 for each board meeting attended. In addition, Mr. Allen, as Chairman of the Board, received an annual fee of $50,000, payable quarterly. Members of the Board’s Executive, Compensation and Stock Option, and Corporate Governance Committees also received $1,000 for each committee meeting attended, and Audit Committee members received $1,500 for each committee meeting attended, except that the Chairmen of the Executive, Compensation and Stock Option, and Corporate Governance Committees received $2,000 per meeting attended, and the Audit Committee Chairman received $3,000 for each committee meeting attended. Beginning in 2007, the annual fee for the Chairman of the Board was reduced to $40,000, payable quarterly, and the fee for the Audit Committee Chairman was increased to $4,000 per meeting.
 
Director Deferred Compensation Plan

Under the Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co. Unfunded Deferred Compensation Plan effective July 1, 1981 (the “Director Deferred Compensation Plan”), directors are eligible to defer receipt of all or a portion of their fees earned for service on the Board of Directors and its committees. Deferred compensation accrues interest annually at the average rate of return earned by the Company on its short-term investments, which was 6.98% in 2006. Participants will generally receive their funds in substantially equal annual installments over a 10-year period commencing after the director attains age 70 or ceases to be a director, whichever occurs first. Three directors currently participate in the Director Deferred Compensation Plan.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND
COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
 
The Company regularly monitors developments in the area of corporate governance. The Company has taken steps to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the recent changes to the corporate governance and listing requirements of the American Stock Exchange.
 
Independent Directors
 
The Board of Directors annually determines the independence of directors. No director is considered independent unless the Board has affirmatively determined that the director does not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out his responsibilities as a director. Generally, a director is not considered independent if the director (or in some cases, members of the director’s immediate family) has, or in the past three years has had, certain material relationships or affiliations with the Company, its external or internal auditors, or other companies that do business with the Company.
 
The Board has determined that the following directors, who constitute a majority of the members of the Company’s Board of Directors, are independent pursuant to Section 121A of the American Stock Exchange Company Guide:
 
·  John C. Adams, Jr.
·  Byron E. Hodnett
·  Bob D. Allen
·  Robert F. Lloyd
·  Gerald L. DeGood
·  John C. Myers, III
·  James E. Gardner
·  William J. Voges

The Board has also determined that director nominees William H. Davison and James E. Jordan are independent. In determining Mr. Davison’s independence, the Board considered his position at SunTrust Bank, East Central Florida Division, and the Company’s transactions with SunTrust Bank, further described under the heading “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions” at page 11 below. The Board affirmatively determined that Mr. Davison does not have a relationship that would interfere with his exercise of independent judgment in carrying out his responsibilities as a director because Mr. Davison is an officer of a different division of SunTrust from that which administers the loan facilities of the Company and has no involvement with such transactions (either on a direct or indirect basis).
 
The Company’s independent directors hold a formal meeting quarterly, separate from management and non-independent directors.
 
Director Attendance at Meetings
 
During 2006, the Board of Directors held one regular and three special meetings. All members of the Board of Directors attended more than 75% of all of the meetings of the Board and all committees on which they served during 2006.
 
The policy of the Company is to encourage members of the Board of Directors to attend the annual meeting of shareholders. All directors attended last year’s annual meeting.
 
5

Audit Committee
 
The Audit Committee, which held six meetings in 2006, provides assistance to the Board of Directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to the integrity of the Company’s financial statements, the Company’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, the qualifications, independence and performance of the Company’s independent auditor, the Company’s systems of internal controls over financial reporting established by management and the Board, and the Company’s auditing, accounting and financial reporting processes generally. KPMG LLP, the Company’s independent auditors, reports directly to the Audit Committee.
 
The Audit Committee acts under a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors, which was amended January 24, 2007, and is attached to this proxy statement as
 Exhibit A.
 
All members of the Audit Committee are independent under the listing standards of the American Stock Exchange and Rule 10A-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All Audit Committee members possess the level of financial literacy required by the listing standards of the American Stock Exchange. Mr. DeGood, as chairman of the Audit Committee, meets the current standard of requisite financial management expertise as required by the American Stock Exchange and is an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by the rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
The Audit Committee has adopted Policies and Procedures for Complaints and Concerns Regarding Accounting, Internal Accounting Controls, and Auditing Matters to enable confidential and anonymous reporting to the Audit Committee.
 
Compensation and Stock Option Committee
 
The Compensation and Stock Option Committee, which held one meeting in 2006, assists the Board of Directors in discharging its responsibilities relating to the compensation of the Company’s chief executive officer and other officers and key employees, reviews and discusses with management the Company’s “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” set forth below, and administers the 2001 Stock Option Plan.
 
The Compensation and Stock Option Committee has primary responsibility for determining the compensation philosophy of the Company and recommending to the Board of Directors for approval the compensation for the named executive officers. The Chairman of the Board of Directors aids the Compensation and Stock Option Committee by providing annual recommendations regarding the performance and compensation of Mr. McMunn, the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Mr. McMunn provides annual recommendations regarding the compensation of the other named executive officers and all other managers whose annual total compensation exceeds $75,000. The Compensation and Stock Option Committee has not engaged any consultant or advisor in connection with its compensation recommendations, but it does have the authority to retain a compensation consultant or advisor. 
 
The Compensation and Stock Option Committee acts under a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors, which was amended January 24, 2007, and is attached to this proxy statement as Exhibit B.
 
The Compensation and Stock Option Committee of the Board of Directors consists solely of independent directors under the listing standards of the American Stock Exchange.
 
6

Corporate Governance Committee
 
The Corporate Governance Committee, which held one meeting during 2006, was formed to perform the functions of a nominating committee and recommends to the Board individuals qualified to become members of the Board based on criteria approved by the Committee and nominees for the Board for annual meetings of the shareholders. All members of the Corporate Governance Committee are independent under the listing standards of the American Stock Exchange.
 
The Corporate Governance Committee operates under a formal charter that governs its duties and standards of performance. A copy of the charter is attached to this proxy statement as Exhibit C.
 
Consideration of Director Nominees
 
The Corporate Governance Committee will consider recommendations from shareholders for nominations for candidates for membership on the Board of Directors. To recommend a candidate to the Committee, shareholders should submit recommendations in writing to the Company’s Secretary at Post Office Box 10809, Daytona Beach, Florida 32120-0809. A nominating recommendation must be accompanied by the following information concerning each recommending shareholder: (a) the name and address, including telephone number, of the recommending shareholder; (b) the number of the Company’s shares owned by the recommending shareholder and the time period for which such shares have been held; (c) if the recommending shareholder is not a shareholder of record, a statement from the record holder of the shares verifying the holdings of the shareholder and a statement from the recommending shareholder of the length of time that the shares have been held. (Alternatively, the shareholder may furnish a current Schedule 13D, Schedule 13G, Form 3, Form 4 or Form 5 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission reflecting the holdings of the shareholder, together with a statement of the length of time that the shares have been held); and (d) a statement from the shareholder as to whether the shareholder has a good faith intention to continue to hold the reported shares through the date of the Company’s next annual meeting of shareholders.
 
In addition, a nominating recommendation must be accompanied by the following information concerning the proposed nominee: (a) the name, business address and residence address of the proposed nominee; (b) the principal occupation or employment of the proposed nominee; (c) the class or series and number of shares of capital stock of the Company, if any, which are owned beneficially and of record by the proposed nominee; and (d) any other information regarding the proposed nominee that would be required to be included in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with the solicitations of proxies for election of directors pursuant to Section 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, had the proposed nominee been nominated by the board of directors of the corporation. The nominating recommendation must also describe all relationships between the proposed nominee, his immediate family, and the recommending shareholder, including management of any corporate shareholder, and any agreements or understandings between the recommending shareholder and the nominee regarding the nomination. The recommending shareholder must furnish a statement supporting its view that the proposed nominee possesses the minimum qualifications prescribed by the Committee for nominees, and briefly describing the contributions that the nominee would be expected to make to the board and to the governance of the Company. The statement should include whether, in the view of the shareholder, the nominee, if elected, would represent all shareholders and not serve for the purpose of advancing or favoring any particular shareholder or other constituency of the Company. The nominating recommendation must be accompanied by the consent of the proposed nominee to be interviewed by the Corporate Governance Committee (and the recommending shareholder must furnish the proposed nominee’s contact information for this purpose), and, if nominated and elected, to serve as a director of the Company. If a recommendation is submitted by a group of two or more shareholders, the information regarding recommending shareholders must be submitted with respect to each shareholder in the group.
 
7

The Corporate Governance Committee has established specific, minimum qualifications that must be met by a Committee-recommended nominee. Under these criteria, a majority of the Board should be independent under the listing standards of the American Stock Exchange. In addition, a nominee should demonstrate high ethical standards and integrity in his or her personal and professional dealings and be willing to act on and remain accountable for boardroom decisions; should have the ability to provide wise, thoughtful counsel on a broad range of issues; should possess high intelligence and wisdom and apply it in decision making; should be financially literate; should value board and team performance over individual performance; should be open to other opinions and willing to listen; should approach others assertively, responsibly and supportively and raise tough questions in a manner that encourages open discussion; should have a history of achievements that reflect high standards for themselves and others; should be committed to seeking exceptional performance of the Company, both in absolute terms and relative to its peers; and should have the ability to commit sufficient time and attention to the activities of the Company.
 
Prior to identifying and evaluating nominees for director, the Corporate Governance Committee assesses the size and membership of the Board and determines whether any vacancies are to be expected. In the event of any vacancies, the Committee considers potential candidates for director, which may come to the Committee’s attention through current Board members, shareholders, professional search firms, or other persons. In addition to the specific, minimum qualifications described above, the Committee seeks to ensure that the Board as a whole will possess the following specific qualities or skills: expertise in management or oversight of financial accounting and control; a record of making sound business decisions; cognizance of current general management trends and “best practices;” relevant knowledge specific to the industries in which the Company operates; ability and willingness to motivate and require high-performance by management; and capability of questioning, approving, and monitoring the Company’s strategic plans, providing insight and directional focus. The Committee meets to review and report to the Board on possible candidates for membership and annually recommends a slate of nominees to the Board with respect to nominations for the Board at the annual meeting of shareholders.
 
The nomination of Mr. Davison was recommended by Robert F. Lloyd, a director of the Company. The nomination of Mr. Jordan was recommended by David Winters of Wintergreen Advisers, a shareholder of the Company.
 
Codes of Ethics
 
The Company has adopted a Code of Ethics for Principal Executive Officers and Senior Financial Officers, violations of which may be reported to the Audit Committee. The Company will provide a copy of this code to any person without charge upon request. Any such request should be made in writing to the Company’s Secretary at Post Office Box 10809, Daytona Beach, Florida 32120-0809.
 
The Company has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that includes provisions ranging from legal compliance to conflicts of interest. All employees and directors are subject to this code.

Communication with the Board of Directors
 
Individuals may communicate with the Board of Directors by writing to Bob D. Allen, Chairman of the Board, Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co., Post Office Box 10809, Daytona Beach, Florida 32120-0809.
 
Policies and Procedures for Approval of Related Person Transactions
 
The Board of Directors has adopted a written Related Party Transaction Policy and Procedures establishing guidelines with respect to the approval of Related Party Transactions. The policy applies to any transaction in which the Company is a participant, any related party has a direct or indirect interest and the amount involved exceeds $120,000. The Audit Committee will review the material facts of all related party transactions that require approval and either approve or disapprove of the entry into the transaction. In determining whether to approve a related party transaction, the Audit Committee will take into account, among other factors it deems appropriate, whether the related party transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third-party under the same or similar circumstances and the extent of the related party’s interest in the transaction.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
William H. Davison, a nominee for director, is Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer of SunTrust Bank, East Central Florida. The Company and SunTrust Bank are parties to a Master Loan and Security Agreement dated July 1, 2002, for a term loan in the maximum amount of $8,000,000; the largest aggregate amount of indebtedness outstanding on this loan at any time since January 1, 2006 was $7,297,593 and interest payable on this loan during 2006 was $535,571. The outstanding balance on this loan at December 31, 2006 was $7,061,531. This loan is secured by approximately 3,000 acres of the Company’s lands. The Company and SunTrust Bank are also parties to a Master Loan and Security Agreement dated May 31, 2002, for an unsecured line of credit in the maximum of $10,000,000; the largest aggregate amount of indebtedness outstanding on this line of credit at any time since January 1, 2006 was $1,943,000 and interest payable on this loan during 2006 was $7,671. There was no outstanding balance on this line of credit at December 31, 2006. The Company had a letter of credit outstanding at December 31, 2006 in the amount of $3,270,939, which reserved capacity under the line of credit. The Company and SunTrust are also parties to an International Swap Dealers Association, Inc. Master Agreement dated April 8, 2002 with respect to an interest rate swap with regard to the $8,000,000 term loan described above. The Company believes that these loans were made in the ordinary course of business, were made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable loans with persons not related to the lender, and did not involve more than the normal risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable features.
 
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
 
The sections which follow provide extensive information pertaining to the compensation of the executive officers of the Company. This information is introduced in the Compensation Committee Discussion and Analysis set forth below, which describes the policies and components of the Company’s Compensation Program.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
 
This section provides an overview and analysis of the Company’s compensation program and policies. Following this section is a series of tables containing specific information pertaining to the compensation earned in 2006 by the following individuals, referred to throughout this proxy as the Company’s “named executive officers:”
 
·  
William H. McMunn, President and Chief Executive Officer
·  
Bruce W. Teeters, Senior Vice President - Finance and Treasurer
·  
Robert F. Apgar, Senior Vice President - General Counsel and Assistant Secretary

The discussion below is intended to put the information contained in the tables into context with the Company’s overall compensation program.
 
Compensation Philosophy and Objectives
 
The Company’s executive compensation program is designed to attract and retain executive officers by aligning their interests with the Company’s short-term and long-term performance goals. This program has been structured to motivate executive officers to achieve those goals and to create long-term allegiance to the Company. The executive compensation program rewards executive officers for both short-term and long-term performance, both on an individual basis and a company wide basis.
 
The Company’s compensation philosophy is intended to balance short-term performance incentives through salary and bonus with long-term performance through stock options with tandem stock appreciation rights and pension plan contributions. The Company endeavors to provide compensation programs that:
 
·  
are competitive;
·  
will attract well-qualified employees who have the ability and desire to implement the Company’s strategy for achieving short-term and long-term performance goals;
·  
will motivate employees to achieve performance goals set by the Company;
·  
will create long-term allegiance to the Company; and
·  
will result in enhanced long-term shareholder value.

Role of Compensation Committee and Executive Officers in Compensation Decisions
 
The Compensation and Stock Option Committee has primary responsibility for determining the compensation philosophy of the Company and recommending to the Board of Directors for approval the compensation for the named executive officers. While the Compensation and Stock Option Committee reviews the total compensation paid to each of the named executive officers, it views each element of the Company’s compensation program to be distinct. The Company has not adopted any formal or informal policy for allocating compensation between short-term and long-term or between cash and non-cash. The Compensation and Stock Option makes these allocation decisions each year based on recent performance and Company objectives.
 
The Chairman of the Board of Directors aids the Compensation and Stock Option Committee by providing annual recommendations regarding the compensation of Mr. McMunn, the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Mr. McMunn provides annual recommendations regarding the performance and compensation of the other named executive officers and all other managers whose total annual compensation exceeds $75,000. The Compensation and Stock Option Committee has not engaged any consultant or advisor in connection with its compensation recommendations.
 
Compensation Components
 
Base Salary. The base salaries of the named executive officers are set annually in January following a review of the prior year’s performance of the normal responsibilities associated with the named executive’s job description. While the Company does not benchmark base salaries against any particular peer group, it endeavors to establish base salaries that are competitive with similar positions in the Company’s geographic location.
 
Mr. McMunn’s base salary was increased by approximately 4% to $283,470 for 2007. This increase reflected the Compensation and Stock Option Committee’s determination that both a cost of living and merit increase to base salary was appropriate to remain competitive with companies of similar size in the Central Florida market and to reflect Mr. McMunn’s performance of the normal duties associated with his position. The base salaries of the other named executive officers were also increased by 4% for 2007 to $246,048 for Mr. Teeters
 
12

and $177,840 for Mr. Apgar as a result of the same determinations by the Compensation and Stock Option Committee.
 
Cash Bonus. The Compensation and Stock Option Committee has the discretion to recommend the payment of cash bonuses for annual performance by the named executive officers as reflected by the Company’s overall profitability and the named executive officer’s individual contributions to that profitability. The following items are considered in determining whether to award a cash bonus: earnings per share (“EPS”); earnings before depreciation, amortization and deferred taxes (“EBDDT”); and individual accomplishments that contributed to EPS and EBDDT during the year. While no formal policy on cash bonuses has been adopted by the Company and the amount to be awarded is discretionary, the Compensation and Stock Option Committee has set a maximum percentage of base salary that a named executive officer is eligible to receive in any annual cash bonus (with the relative maximum based on the ability to impact profitability in such person’s position), as follows: 200% for the Chief Executive Officer and 100% for other named executive officers.
 
Mr. McMunn was awarded a cash bonus of $169,000, or approximately 62% of base salary, for 2006 performance. In awarding this bonus, the Compensation and Stock Option Committee considered: the Company’s relatively solid short-term performance in a difficult real estate market; a significant increase in the EBDDT for the year; Mr. McMunn’s efforts, through interaction with elected and appointed officials at the city, county and state levels, to protect Company lands from restrictive regulation, preserve entitlements, and position the lands to maximize financial returns to shareholders in future years; his role in negotiating agreements with the city, county, and other developers to plan the future expansion and financing of the road system impacting Company lands; his participation in planning and financing an effort to defeat several ballot initiatives proposed by county government that could have had an adverse affect on the Company’s lands; and his assumption of the Chairmanship of the Florida Association of Community Developers, a state-wide industry advocacy group, which articulates the industry’s positions on issues and proposed state legislation. Mr. McMunn is also charged with developing long-range visioning and strategic corporate planning.
 
Mr. Teeters, the Senior Vice President-Finance and Treasurer of the Company, was awarded a cash bonus of $86,400, or approximately 37% of base salary, for 2006 performance. In awarding this bonus, the Compensation and Stock Option Committee considered the responsibilities arising out of Mr. Teeters’ position as the Chief Financial Officer and his involvement in real estate sales and the purchase of income properties through the tax deferred exchange program. Responsibilities also include investor relations and participation in the Company’s long-range strategic planning.
 
Mr. Apgar, Senior Vice President-General Counsel and Assistant Secretary of the Company, was awarded a cash bonus of $67,200, or approximately 28% of base salary, for 2006 performance. In awarding this bonus, the Compensation and Stock Option Committee considered Mr. Apgar’s role as General Counsel (with emphasis on Securities and Exchange Commission matters and government relations), his involvement with real estate contracts and review of all documents related to the purchase of income properties. He also participates in the long-range strategic planning for the Company.
 
Many of the same factors related to the Company’s performance in 2006 that were used to evaluate Mr. McMunn were also considered in evaluating Mr. Teeters and Mr. Apgar.
 
13

Stock Option Compensation. The Company grants stock options and tandem stock appreciation rights (“tandem SARs”) to align named executive officer incentives with shareholders over the long-term because stock options and tandem SARs have value only if the Company’s stock price increases over time. This is the Company’s primary vehicle for providing long-term incentive compensation to and retention of the named executive officers and other key managers.
 
The Company’s shareholders approved the 2001 Stock Option Plan in April 2001. This Plan provides for the grant of non-qualified and qualified stock options to purchase shares of common stock of the Company at a per share exercise price equal to the fair market value of such shares on the date of grant. The Company’s stock options are typically exercisable as to no more than one-fifth of the total number of shares covered by the option during each twelve month period commencing twelve months after the date of grant and expire after 10 years. In addition, each stock option grant includes a tandem SAR, exercisable only to the extent that the related stock option is exercisable. Upon the exercise of a tandem SAR, the holder is entitled to receive the value of the SAR, calculated by subtracting the excess of the fair market value of the common stock over the exercise price of the related option from the quotient obtained by dividing such amount by one minus the holders' personal income tax rate. The tandem SAR is payable upon exercise in cash or common stock, at the discretion of the Compensation and Stock Option Committee. The tandem SAR can be exercised only until the later of the end of (a) the 90-day period following the exercise of the related stock option or (b) the 10-day period beginning on the third business day after the date on which the Company releases its official financial data for the quarter in which the related stock option was exercised.
 
The 2001 Stock Option Plan does not specify when stock options and tandem SARs are granted. Historically, stock options and tandem SARs have been granted annually in January based on the prior year’s performance. The release of material non-public information is not timed for the purpose of affecting the values of stock options and tandems SARs. At the time of granting stock options and tandem SARs, the Compensation and Stock Option Committee is aware of the Company’s financial results for the prior fiscal year but does not adjust the size of the grants to reflect possible market reaction to such results.
 
The 2001 Stock Option Plan reserved 500,000 shares for stock option grants. It was anticipated that the shares would be granted over an estimated eight to ten year period with grants awarded covering approximately 10% of the shares per year with adjustments based on the number of participants in the plan and their overall performance. Stock option grants are generally determined by evaluating the number of shares remaining under the 2001 Stock Option Plan and the number of years remaining until expiration of such plan. After the January 2007 grants, there are approximately 118,000 shares remaining to be awarded with eleven participants in the plan. For 2006, the President and Chief Executive Officer received approximately 32% of the total shares granted, approximately 23% were granted to the other named executive officers, and approximately 45% were granted to all other participants.
 
Pension Plan. The Company maintains the Retirement Plan for Employees of Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co. (the “Pension Plan”), a defined benefit pension plan for the benefit of Company employees, including the named executive officers. Benefits are based upon an employee’s cumulative years of service and average compensation for the five most highly-compensated years during the employee’s final 10 years of employment. The benefit formula generally provides for a life annuity benefit. The Company believes that this plan recognizes long-term performance on behalf of the Company and motivates employees to remain with the Company.
 
14

401(k) Plan. Employees (including the named executive officers) may participate in the Company’s 401(k) plan, a tax-qualified retirement plan maintained to provide the opportunity to further provide for retirement through tax-deferred employee contributions. The 401(k) plan permits eligible employees to defer compensation up to the maximum limit set annually by the Internal Revenue Service, subject to certain limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code. The employees’ elective deferrals are immediately vested and non-forfeitable in the 401(k) Plan. The Company makes a safe harbor contribution of 3% of annual compensation for all eligible employees which is immediately vested and subject to limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code. No matching contributions have been made to the named executive officers.
 
Deferred Compensation. Under the Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co. Unfunded Deferred Compensation Plan effective October 25, 1982 (the “Executive Deferred Compensation Plan”), the named executive officers are eligible to defer receipt of all or a portion of their cash compensation. The deferred compensation accrues interest annually at the average rate of return earned by the Company on its short-term investments, which was 6.98% in 2006. Participants will generally receive their funds in a lump sum or in 10 annual installments commencing after retirement or termination of employment, at the option of the Compensation and Stock Option Committee, unless otherwise agreed upon by the participants at the time of commencement of participation in the plan. The Executive Deferred Compensation Plan allows participants to save for retirement in a tax-effective manner at minimal cost to the Company.
 
Health and Welfare Benefits. The Company provides to each named executive officer medical and dental insurance coverage as well as long-term disability and life insurance. Dependent coverage is paid by the employee.
 
The Company has a current policy regarding post-retirement benefit programs for certain healthcare and life benefits for eligible retired employees. All full-time employees become eligible to receive a life benefit up to a maximum of $5,000 if they retire after reaching age 55 with 20 or more years of service, and this program is non-contributory. The retired employee will also receive a supplemental medicare benefit if he or she retires at age 65 with 20 or more years of service. Retirees in Volusia County, Florida, must enroll in the local Florida Health Care Plan, a Federally qualified HMO, and the Company pays up to $25 of their monthly premium. Retired employees in Highlands County received a supplemental medicare policy for which the Company pays up to $120 per month. The post-retirement supplemental medicare benefit premium is contributory with retiree contributions adjusted annually as the premiums change.
 
Perquisites. The Company provides named executive officers with a paid club membership at LPGA International, based on the belief that the use of such facilities in the course of their employment is in the Company’s interest and will further our business purposes. Named executive officers are also provided with an automobile, including gasoline and car maintenance, except for Mr. Apgar, who elected to take a salary adjustment in lieu of an automobile. Mr. McMunn and Mr. Teeters pay for personal use of their vehicles. All of the named executive officers pay for their non-business related restaurant expenses at LPGA International.
 

15

 
Other Matters
 
Stock Ownership. Stock ownership guidelines for the named executive officers have not been adopted.
 
Employment Agreements. The Company does not have employment agreements with any employees.
 
Severance Benefits. No Company employees have severance agreements and the Company has not established a severance policy. Under the 2001 Stock Option Plan, all unvested stock options and tandem SARs become vested upon the occurrence of a change in control.
 
Tax and Accounting Implications
 
Deductibility of Executive Compensation. The Compensation and Stock Option Committee reviews and considers the deductibility of executive compensation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, which provides that the Company may not deduct compensation of more than $1,000,000 that is paid to certain individuals. Based on current levels of compensation, no executive officer is expected to receive compensation for 2006 or 2007 services that would be non-deductible under Section 162(m). Accordingly, the compensation and Stock Option Committee has not considered any revisions to its policies and programs in response to this provision of law.
 
Nonqualified Deferred Compensation. On October 22, 2004, the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 was signed into law, changing the tax rules applicable to nonqualified deferred compensation arrangements. While the final regulations have not become effective yet, the Company believes it is operating in good faith compliance with the statutory provisions which were effective January 1, 2005.
 
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT
 
The Compensation and Stock Option Committee has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis with management. Based on such review and discussion with management, the Committee has recommended to the Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this proxy statement and incorporated by reference in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. Submitted by the Compensation and Stock Option Committee: Robert F. Lloyd, Chairman, James E. Gardner, Byron E. Hodnett, and John C. Myers, III.

See Note 8 (Pension Plan) in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 for the relevant assumptions used to determine the present value of each named executive officer’s accumulated benefit under the Plan.

All employees who have attained the age of 21 and completed one year of service participate in the Pension Plan. Pension benefits are accrued annually in an amount equal to 1.2% of the employee’s final average earnings up to their covered compensation line plus 1.8% of the employee’s final average earnings in excess of their covered compensation line multiplied by the employee’s years of credited service to a maximum of 35 years. An employee’s “covered compensation line” equals the average of their actual past social security wage bases for the 35 calendar years preceding the employee’s social security retirement age. An employee’s “final average earnings” is the employee’s average annual compensation for the five consecutive years of highest earnings during the final ten consecutive years of employment. The elements of compensation considered in this determination include all earnings that make up the employee’s social security wage base, as limited by federal law.
 
19

The benefit formula generally provides for a life annuity or joint annuity benefit. The benefits for the named executive officers shown above are not payable in a lump sum. If the employee chooses to receive their pension payments as a joint benefit, a reduced pension benefit will be payable to the employee for life, and, if the employee dies first, 50% or more of the benefit will be payable to the joint payee for the rest of his or her life. The employee may also choose a social security adjustment benefit option where, if the employee retires before age 65, the employee receives a higher benefit before social security payments are expected to begin, and smaller payments thereafter, or the single life annuity, where a pension payment will be payable to the employee for life. All of the named executive officers are currently eligible for early retirement under the Pension Plan based on the early retirement age of 55 thereunder.
 
If an employee retires early, the employee’s accrued pension will be reduced to reflect the longer period over which the employee will receive pension benefits. No payments were made pursuant to the Pension Plan in 2006.

Under the Executive Deferred Compensation Plan, the named executive officers and key employees of the Company may elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of their cash compensation until such time as the participant ceases to be an officer or key employee. The deferred compensation accrues interest annually at the average rate of return earned by the Company on its short-term investments, which was 6.98% in 2006. Participants will generally receive their funds in a lump sum or in 10 annual installments commencing after retirement or termination of employment, at the option of the Compensation and Stock Option Committee, unless otherwise agreed upon by the participants at the time of commencement of participation in the Executive Deferred Compensation Plan.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

The Company does not have employment agreements, change in control agreements or severance agreements with any of its executive officers. Benefits payable upon termination of a named executive officer include benefits accrued under the Pension Plan, described under “Retirement Benefits” above, and deferred compensation and earnings thereon, described under “Nonqualified Deferred Compensation” above. Upon a change in control, stock options and tandem SARs would become fully vested pursuant to the 2001 Stock Option Plan. The following table sets forth the benefit that would have been realized by each named executive officer for outstanding stock options and tandem SARs as of December 31, 2006, if a change in control had occurred on such date:

Pre-approval Policy
 
The Audit Committee has adopted a Pre-approval Policy (“Policy”) governing the pre-approval of all audit and non-audit services performed by the independent auditor in order to ensure that the performance of such services does not impair the auditor’s independence.
 
According to the Policy, the Audit Committee will annually review and pre-approve the audit services that may be provided by the independent auditor and the fees to be paid for those services during the following year, and may from time-to-time review and pre-approve audit-related services, tax services and all other services to be provided by the independent auditor. The term of any pre-approval is 12 months from the date of pre-approval, unless the Audit Committee specifically provides for a different period. For pre-approval, the Audit Committee will consider whether the service is consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence, as well as whether the independent auditor is in the best position to provide the service for reasons such as its familiarity with the Company’s business, people, culture, accounting system, risk profile and other factors. All such factors will be considered as a whole, with no single factor being determinative.
 
The Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to one or more of its members. The member or members to whom such authority is delegated will report any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The Committee does not delegate its responsibilities to pre-approve services performed by the independent auditor to management.
 
Pre-approval fee levels or budgeted amounts for all services to be provided by the independent auditor will be established periodically by the Audit Committee. Any proposed services exceeding these levels will require separate pre-approval by the Audit Committee.
 
Requests or applications to provide services that require pre-approval by the Audit Committee will be submitted to the Audit Committee by both the independent auditor and the Chief Financial Officer and must include (1) a joint statement as to whether, in their view, the request or application is consistent with the SEC's rules on auditor independence, and (2) with respect to each proposed pre-approved service, detailed back-up documentation regarding the specific service to be provided. Requests or applications for services to be provided by the independent auditor that do not require separate approval by the Audit Committee will be submitted to the Treasurer and will include a description of the services to be rendered. The Treasurer will determine whether such services are included within the list of services that have previously received the pre-approval of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee will be informed on a timely basis of any such services rendered by the independent auditor.

SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
 
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires directors, executive officers, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of the Company’s common stock to file with the SEC and American Stock Exchange initial reports of beneficial ownership and reports of changes in beneficial ownership of the Company’s common stock. Directors, executive officers, and beneficial owners of more than 10% of the Company’s common stock are required by SEC rules to furnish the Company with copies of all such reports. To the Company’s knowledge, based solely upon a review of the copies of such reports furnished to the Company and written representations from directors and executive officers that no other reports were required, the Company believes that Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to all directors and executive officers were reported timely during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.
 
SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS
 
Shareholders are hereby notified that if they wish a proposal to be included in the Company’s proxy statement and form of proxy relating to the 2008 annual meeting, a written copy of their proposal must be received at the principal executive offices of the Company no later than November 1, 2007.
