NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND PRINCIPLES OF INTERIM STATEMENTS

Description of Business

The terms “us,” “we,” “our,” and “the Company” as used in this report refer to Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co. together with our consolidated subsidiaries.

We are a diversified real estate operating company. We own and manage forty-one commercial real estate properties in ten states in the U.S. As of March 31, 2016, we owned thirty-two single-tenant and nine multi-tenant income-producing properties with over 1,700,000 square feet of gross leasable space. We also own and manage a land portfolio of over 10,500 acres. As of March 31, 2016, we had four commercial loan investments including one fixed-rate and one variable–rate mezzanine loan, a variable-rate B-Note representing a secondary tranche in a commercial mortgage loan, and a variable-rate first mortgage. Our golf operations consist of the LPGA International golf club, which is managed by a third party. We also lease property for twenty billboards, have agricultural operations that are managed by a third party, which consists of leasing land for hay and sod production, timber harvesting, and hunting leases, and own and manage subsurface interests. The results of our agricultural and subsurface leasing operations are included in Agriculture and Other Income and Real Estate Operations, respectively, in our consolidated statements of operations.

Interim Financial Information

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, which provides a more complete understanding of the Company’s accounting policies, financial position, operating results, business properties, and other matters. The unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company and the results of operations for the interim periods.

The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries, and other entities in which we have a controlling interest. Any real estate entities or properties included in the consolidated financial statements have been consolidated only for the periods that such entities or properties were owned or under control by us. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. Noncontrolling interests in consolidated pass-through entities are recognized before income taxes.

Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Due to the fluctuating market conditions that exist in the Florida and national real estate markets, and the volatility and uncertainty in the financial and credit markets, it is possible that the estimates and assumptions, most notably those related to the Company’s investment in income properties and commercial loans, could change materially during the time span associated with the volatility of the real estate and financial markets or as a result of a significant dislocation in those markets.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, bank demand accounts, and money market accounts having maturities at acquisition date of 90 days or less. The Company’s bank balances as of March 31, 2016 include certain amounts over the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limits.

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND PRINCIPLES OF INTERIM STATEMENTS (continued)

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash totaled approximately $15.2 million at March 31, 2016 of which approximately $13.6 million of cash is being held in escrow, from the sales of an income property and land, to be reinvested through the like-kind exchange structure into another income property. Approximately $219,000 is being held in a reserve primarily for property taxes and insurance escrows in connection with our financing of two properties acquired in January 2013; approximately $751,000 is being held in three separate escrow accounts related to three separate land transactions of which one closed in December 2013 and two closed in December 2015; approximately $4,000 is being held by the consolidated variable interest entity in which the Company is the primary beneficiary; and approximately $626,000 is being held in a reserve primarily for certain required tenant improvements for the Lowes in Katy, Texas.

Investment Securities

In accordance with ASC Topic 320, Investments – Debt and Equity Securities, the Company’s debt and equity securities investments have been determined to be equity securities classified as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets, with the unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported in other comprehensive income.

Realized gains and losses, and declines in value judged to be other-than-temporary related to equity securities, are included in investment income in the consolidated statements of operations. With respect to debt securities, when the fair value of a debt security classified as available-for-sale is less than its cost, management assesses whether or not: (i) it has the intent to sell the security or (ii) it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery. If either of these conditions are met, the Company must recognize an other-than-temporary impairment through earnings for the differences between the debt security’s cost basis and its fair value, and such amount is included in investment income in the consolidated statements of operations. There were no other-than-temporary impairments during the three months ended March 31, 2016 or 2015. During the fourth quarter of 2015, an other-than-temporary impairment was deemed to exist on a portion of the equity securities held by the Company, resulting in an impairment charge of approximately $60,000. The Company completed the disposition of its remaining position in investment securities during the three months ended March 31, 2016 resulting in a loss of approximately $576,000.

The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. Interest and dividends on securities classified as available-for-sale are included in investment income in the consolidated statements of operations.

The fair value of the Company’s available-for-sale equity securities are measured quarterly, on a recurring basis, using Level 1 inputs, or quoted prices for identical, actively traded assets. The fair value of the Company’s available-for-sale debt securities are measured quarterly, on a recurring basis, using Level 2 inputs.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying amount of the Company’s investments in commercial loans approximates fair value at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, since the floating and fixed rates of the loans reasonably approximate current market rates for notes with similar risks and maturities. The total face value of the Company’s long-term debt approximates fair value at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, since the floating rate of our credit facility and the fixed rates of our secured financings and convertible debt reasonably approximate current market rates for notes with similar risks and maturities.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company’s estimates of fair value of financial and non-financial assets and liabilities is based on the framework established in the fair value accounting guidance. The framework specifies a hierarchy of valuation inputs which was established to increase consistency, clarity and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures. The guidance describes a fair value hierarchy based upon three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value, two of which are considered observable and one that is considered unobservable. The following describes the three levels:

Level 1 – Valuation is based upon quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Valuation is based upon inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND PRINCIPLES OF INTERIM STATEMENTS (continued)

Level 3 – Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.

Classification of Commercial Loan Investments

Loans held for investment are stated at the principal amount outstanding and include the unamortized deferred loan fees offset by any applicable unaccreted purchase discounts and origination fees, if applicable, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

Commercial Loan Investment Impairment

The Company’s commercial loans are held for investment. For each loan, the Company evaluates the performance of the collateral property and the financial and operating capabilities of the borrower/guarantor, in part, to assess whether any deterioration in the credit has occurred and for possible impairment of the loan. Impairment would reflect the Company’s determination that it is probable that all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan would not be collected. Impairment is measured based on the present value of the expected future cash flows from the loan discounted at the effective rate of the loan or the fair value of the collateral. Upon determination of an impairment, the Company would record an allowance to reduce the carrying value of the loan with a corresponding recognition of loss in the results of operations. Significant exercise of judgment is required in determining impairment, including assumptions regarding the estimate of expected future cash flows, collectability of the loan, the value of the underlying collateral and other factors including the existence of guarantees. The Company has determined that, as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, no allowance for impairment was required.

Recognition of Interest Income from Commercial Loan Investments

Interest income on commercial loan investments includes interest payments made by the borrower and the accretion of purchase discounts and loan origination fees, offset by the amortization of loan costs. Interest payments are accrued based on the actual coupon rate and the outstanding principal balance, and purchase discounts and loan origination fees are accreted into income using the effective yield method, adjusted for prepayments.

Impact Fees and Mitigation Credits

Impact fees and mitigation credits are stated at historical cost. As these assets are sold, the related revenues and cost basis are reported as revenues from, and direct costs of, real estate operations, respectively, in the consolidated statements of operations.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable related to income properties, which are classified in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets, primarily consist of tenant reimbursable expenses. Receivables related to tenant reimbursable expenses totaled approximately $295,000 and $831,000 as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

Accounts receivable related to real estate operations, which are classified in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets, totaled approximately $2.8 million and $1.3 million as of as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. These accounts receivable are related to the reimbursement of certain infrastructure costs completed by the Company in conjunction with three land sale transactions that closed during the fourth quarter of 2015 and one land sale transaction that closed during the first quarter of 2016.

Trade accounts receivable primarily consist of receivables related to golf operations, which are classified in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Trade accounts receivable related to golf operations, which primarily consist of membership and event receivables, totaled approximately $435,000 and $253,000 as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

The collectability of the aforementioned receivables is determined based on a review of specifically identified accounts using judgments. As of as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, no allowance for doubtful accounts was required.

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND PRINCIPLES OF INTERIM STATEMENTS (continued)

Purchase Accounting for Acquisitions of Real Estate Subject to a Lease

In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidance on business combinations, the fair value of the real estate acquired with in-place leases is allocated to the acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, building and tenant improvements, and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market and below-market leases, the value of in-place leases, and the value of leasing costs, based in each case on their relative fair values. The Company has determined that income property purchases with a pre-existing lease at the time of acquisition qualify as a business combination, in which case acquisition costs are expensed in the period the transaction closes. For income property purchases in which a new lease is originated at the time of acquisition, the Company has determined that these asset purchases are outside the scope of the business combination standards and accordingly, the acquisition costs are capitalized with the purchase.

The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired leased property is determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant, and the “as-if-vacant” value is then allocated to land, building and tenant improvements based on the determination of the fair values of these assets.

In allocating the fair value of the identified intangible assets and liabilities of an acquired property, above-market and below-market in-place lease values are recorded as other assets or liabilities based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases, and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease, including the probability of renewal periods. The capitalized above-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of rental income over the remaining terms of the respective leases. The capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to rental income over the initial term unless the Company believes that it is likely that the tenant will renew the option whereby the Company amortizes the value attributable to the renewal over the renewal period.

The aggregate value of other acquired intangible assets, consisting of in-place leases, is measured by the excess of (i) the purchase price paid for a property after adjusting existing in-place leases to market rental rates over (ii) the estimated fair value of the property as-if-vacant, determined as set forth above. The value of in-place leases exclusive of the value of above-market and below-market in-place leases is amortized to expense over the remaining non-cancelable periods of the respective leases. If a lease were to be terminated prior to its stated expiration, all unamortized amounts relating to that lease would be written off. The value of tenant relationships is reviewed on individual transactions to determine if future value was derived from the acquisition.

Sales of Real Estate

Gains and losses on sales of real estate are accounted for as required by the “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate” Topic of FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) FASB ASC 976-605-25. The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of real estate at the time the sale is consummated, unless the property is sold on a deferred payment plan and the initial payment does not meet established criteria, or the Company retains some form of continuing involvement in the property. For sales of real estate which we estimate would cause us to incur a loss on the transaction, we would record a provision for the loss at the time the sales contract is deemed highly probable of closing.

Adoption of New Accounting Standard

A certain item in the prior period’s consolidated balance sheet has been reclassified to conform to the presentation as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2016. Specifically, upon the adoption of ASU 2015-03, related to simplifying the presentation of debt issuance costs effective January 1, 2016, debt issuance costs, net of accumulated amortization, are required to be presented as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related long-term debt liability. The amount reclassified from other assets to long-term debt was approximately $1.7 million as of December 31, 2015.
