          TOOTSIE ROLL INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
        NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        APRIL 2, 2005
       (in thousands except per share amounts) (UNAUDITED)


Note 1 - Foregoing data has been prepared from the unaudited
         financial records of the company and in the opinion
         of management all adjustments necessary for a fair
         statement of the results for the interim period have
         been reflected.  All adjustments were of a normal
         and recurring nature.  Certain reclassifications have
         been made to the prior year financial statements to
         conform to the current year presentation.  These
         consolidated financial statements should be read in
         conjunction with the consolidated financial statements
         and the related notes included in the company's 2004
         Annual Report on Form 10-K.


Note 2 - Average shares outstanding for the period ended April
         2, 2005 reflects stock repurchases of 216 shares for
         $6,390 and a 3% stock dividend distributed on April
         14, 2005. Average shares outstanding for the period
         ended April 3, 2004 reflects stock repurchases of
         170 shares for $6,182 and a 3% stock dividend
         distributed on April 14, 2004.


Note 3 - Results of operations for the period ended April 2,
         2005 are not necessarily indicative of results to be
         expected for the year to end December 31, 2005 because
         of the seasonal nature of the company's operations.
         Historically, the third quarter has been the company's
         largest sales quarter due to Halloween sales.


Note 4 - On October 22, 2004, the President signed the American Jobs
         Creation Act of 2004 (the "Act"). The Act creates a temporary
         incentive for U.S. corporations to repatriate accumulated
         income earned abroad by providing an 85% dividends received
         deduction for certain dividends from controlled foreign
         corporations. The deduction is subject to a number of
         limitations and as of today, uncertainty remains as to how to
         interpret certain provisions of the Act. As such, the company
         has not yet determined whether, and to what extent, it may
         repatriate earnings that have not yet been remitted to the
         U.S. and therefore makes no estimate as to the amount of
         future remittances.








                               -5-

<PAGE>


         The Act also provides for a deduction for income from
         qualified domestic production activities, which will be
         phased in from 2005 through 2010. This provision also is
         subject to a number of limitations which affect the effective
         tax rate in 2005 and later. The accompanying financial
         statements reflect the company's estimate of the effect of
         the Act on its effective tax rate in 2005.


Note 5 - On August 30, 2004, the company purchased certain assets and
         assumed certain liabilities from Concord Confections, Inc.
         and its affiliates (collectively Concord) including its 50%
         equity interest in a Spanish joint venture. Cash
         consideration paid of $218,229 was funded by the liquidation
         of $64,229 of marketable securities and a bank term loan of
         $154,000.  The adjusted purchase price of $212,587 reflects
         an estimated recovery of $6,642 relating to a deficiency in
         minimum working capital required under terms of the purchase
         contract.  Subsequent to the end of first quarter 2005, the
         company finalized the estimated working capital deficiency
         and collected $6,755. The results of Concord's operations
         have been included in the company's condensed consolidated
         financial statements since August 30, 2004. Concord holds a
         strong market position in the bubble gum category and its
         products are sold primarily under the Dubble Bubble brand
         name and trademark.

         The following table includes the unaudited pro forma net
         sales, net earnings and net earnings per share for the
         first quarter of 2004 as if the company had acquired
         Concord as of January 1, 2004. Pro forma adjustments are
         necessary to reflect costs and expenses of financing the
         purchase, including additional interest expense on bank
         borrowings, decrease in investment income reflecting the
         sale of marketable securities, and changes in depreciation
         expense resulting from fair value adjustments to net
         tangible assets.


         The pro forma results do not reflect any cost savings or
         synergies that might be realized, including the anticipated
         elimination of substantially all of the Concord historical
         senior executive compensation and other management expenses
         which aggregated $863 net of income taxes for the first
         quarter 2004.










                             -5A-

        Following is a summary of the unaudited pro forma combined
        results for Tootsie Roll Industries, Inc. and the Concord
        Confections business for the first quarter 2004:

                                                 2004
                                               Combined
                                               Pro Forma

         Net sales..............................$ 97,003
         Net earnings...........................$ 12,004
         Earnings per share.....................$    .22


         The pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of what
         actually would have occurred if the acquisition had been
         completed as of January 1, 2004, nor are they necessarily
         indicative of future consolidated results.


Note 6 - The bank loan is payable in quarterly installments through
         August of 2006. As a result of prepayments, the next
         quarterly installment is due in March, 2006. The loan is
         collateralized by investments in marketable securities and
         is subject to other terms and conditions, none of which are
         significant. Interest is LIBOR based, and the average rate
         was 2.8% in 2005.

               ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
               (dollars in thousands except per share amounts)


The following is management's discussion of the company's operating results and
analysis of factors that have affected the accompanying Condensed Statement of
Earnings.


NET SALES:                                Net change in
                                       First Quarter, 2005
              First Quarter                    vs.
           2005          2004          First Quarter, 2004
         $97,925       $80,046                22.3%


First quarter 2005 net sales were $97,925 compared to $80,046 in first quarter
2004, an increase of $17,879 or 22.3%. First quarter 2005 sales benefited from
$17,345 of sales from the Concord Confections business which was acquired on
August 30,2004.

First quarter 2005 net sales of $97,925 were down from fourth quarter 2004 net
sales of $105,936.  This is not considered unusual, as the first quarter of the
year is historically the company's lowest sales quarter.


COST OF SALES:
                                                   Cost of Sales as a
              First Quarter                     Percentage of Net Sales
          2005           2004                1st Qtr. 2005    1st Qtr. 2004
        $58,476        $45,316                    59.7%           56.6%


Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales increased from 56.6% in first quarter
2004 to 59.7% in first quarter 2005. The increase in cost of sales as a
percentage of net sales reflects the inclusion of the Concord Confections
business which has higher costs as a percentage of net sales, various start-up
costs associated with a new production line, generally higher labor costs,
including health insurance and other fringe benefits, and increased
manufacturing plant overhead costs.


OPERATING EARNINGS:
                                              First Quarter, 2005
              First Quarter                            vs.
         2005             2004                First Quarter, 2004
       $17,159          $16,060                      6.8%


                                -6-
<PAGE>




Selling, marketing and administrative expenses rose from $18,670 in the first
quarter 2004 to $22,290 in first quarter 2005, an increase of $3,620 or 19.4%.
The aforementioned increase principally reflects the incremental operating
expenses of the Concord Confections business. However, as a percentage of net
sales, such operating expenses favorably decreased from 23.3% in 2004 to 22.8%
in 2005, reflecting various cost efficiencies achieved from increased
consolidated net sales due to the inclusion of the Concord Confections business.

First quarter earnings from operations were $17,159 and $16,060 in 2005 and
2004, respectively, an increase of $1,099 or 6.8%. Improved first quarter 2005
operating earnings benefited from higher reported net sales and resulting
operating earnings from the inclusion of the Concord Confections business as
discussed above.


NET EARNINGS:
                                              First Quarter, 2005
              First Quarter                            vs.
         2005             2004                First Quarter, 2004
       $12,506          $11,493                      8.8%


First quarter 2005 net earnings were $12,506 compared to first quarter 2004 net
earnings of $11,493.  First quarter 2005 earnings per share were $0.23, compared
to $0.21 per share in the prior year comparative period, an increase of $0.02 or
9.5%.

Other income, net was $1,207 in first quarter 2005 compared to $1,275 in first
quarter 2004.  Other income, net in 2005 includes $570 of increased interest
expense and $487 of decreased investment income reflecting the financing costs
of the Concord Confections business acquired on August 30, 2004. First quarter
2005 other income, net benefited from $472 of foreign exchange and translation
gains, $251 of real estate rental income from the Concord Confections business,
and $279 of net income from the company's Spanish joint venture acquired as part
of the Concord Confections business.

The consolidated effective income tax rate favorably decreased from 33.7% in
first quarter 2004 to 32.4% in first quarter 2005.  This improvement generally
reflects the statutory reduction in the U.S. federal income tax rate in 2005
for US manufacturing activities as well as lower effective rates for foreign
taxes.

In addition to the factors discussed above, earnings per share benefited from
fewer shares outstanding as a result of the company's share repurchases.






                                  -6A-
<PAGE>


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:


The company's current ratio (current assets divided by current liabilities) was
2.2 to 1 as of the end of first quarter 2005 as compared to 3.6 to 1 as of the
end of first quarter 2004 and 2.3 to 1 as of the end of fourth quarter 2004.
Net working capital was $101,207 as of the end of first quarter 2005 as compared
to $110,376 and $174,525 as of the end of fourth quarter 2004 and first quarter
2004, respectively.  The aforementioned net working capital amounts are
principally reflected in aggregate cash and cash equivalents and short-term
investments which totalled $71,257 as of the end of first quarter 2005 compared
to $89,358 and $142,290, as of the end of fourth quarter 2004 and first quarter
2004, respectively. In addition, long-term investments, principally debt
securities comprising municipal bonds, were $85,713 as of the end of first
quarter 2005 as compared to $96,640 and $120,705 as of the end of fourth quarter
2004 and first quarter 2004, respectively. Investments in municipal bonds and
other debt securities that matured during first quarters 2005 and 2004 were
generally replaced with debt securities of similar maturities.

The decreases in overall working capital, aggregate cash and cash equivalents,
and short-term and long-term investments from first quarter 2004 reflects the
company's financing of the Concord Confections business on August 30,2004 for
an adjusted purchase price of approximately $212,587. The aforementioned
adjusted purchase price reflects the Company's recovery subsequent to the end of
first quarter 2005 of approximately $6,755 relating to the final determination
of the required minimum working capital amount under terms of the Concord
purchase contract.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $4,796 for first quarter 2005,
whereas $5,549 of net cash was used in operating activities in first quarter
2004. The aforementioned net change in net cash provided by/used in operating
activities principally reflects the Company's pre-funding of the annual cost of
certain defined contribution employee benefit plans in 2004, reflected as a
prepaid expense, which was not pre-funded in 2005; the timing of payments
relating to accounts payable also contributed to such net change. Capital
expenditures for first quarter 2005 and 2004 were $4,626 and $3,191,
respectively.  Capital expenditures for the 2005 year are anticipated to be
generally in line with historical annualized spending after adjusting for the
addition of the Concord Confections business, and are to be funded from the
company's cash flow from operations and internal sources.

As of the end of first quarter 2005, the company has $77,000 outstanding
relating to its bank loan in connection with the financing of the Concord
Confections acquisition on August 30,2004. As a result of prepayments on this
loan, the next required installment of $9,667 is due in March 2006. The balance
of the bank loan is due in later 2006. The company anticipates making
substantial prepayments on this loan in 2005 which will be funded from cash
flows from operations and maturities of investments in marketable securities.


                              -6B-

<PAGE>

Cash dividends declared in first quarter 2005 and 2004 were $3,655 and $3,575,
respectively. However, dividends paid in cash were $7,315 and $7,164, in first
quarter 2005 and 2004, respectively. The difference between dividends declared
and dividends paid is due to payment in the first quarter of a dividend declared
in the fourth quarter.

The company repurchased and retired $6,390 and $6,182 of its outstanding common
stock during first quarter 2005 and 2004, respectively.

This discussion and certain other sections of this Form 10-Q contain forward-
looking statements that are based largely on the company's current expectations
and are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Forward-looking statements are subject to
certain risks, trends and uncertainties that could cause actual results and
achievements to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking
statements.  Such risks, trends and uncertainties, which in some instances are
beyond the company's control, include changes in demand and consumer
preferences, including seasonal events such as Halloween; the effect of
ingredient costs; the effect of acquisitions on the company's results of
operations and financial condition; the effect of changes in foreign currencies
on the company's foreign subsidiaries; the company's reliance on third-party
vendors for various goods and services; the effect of changes in assumptions,
including discount rates and profit margins, relating to the company's
impairment testing and analysis of its goodwill and trademarks; changes in the
confectionary market place including actions taken by major retailers and
customers; customer and consumer response to marketing programs and price
adjustments; changes in governmental laws and regulations including taxes; the
overall competitive environment in the company's industry; and changes in
assumptions and judgments discussed under the heading "Critical Accounting
Policies of the company's MD&A" included in the 2004 annual report and 10-K.
The words "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "intend" and similar
expressions generally identify forward-looking statements.  Readers are
cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements, which
are as of the date of this filing.


ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK:


The company is exposed to various market risks, including fluctuations in sugar,
corn syrup, edible oils, cocoa and packaging costs. The company is exposed to
exchange rate fluctuations in the Canadian dollar which is the currency used
for a portion of the operating expenses at its Canadian plants. The company also
invests in securities with maturities of up to three years, the majority of
which are held to maturity, which limits the company's exposure to interest rate
fluctuations.  There has been no material change in the company's market risks
that would significantly affect the disclosures made in the Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2004.



                              -6C-

Item 4.	  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


Under the supervision and with the participation of management, the chief
executive officer and chief financial officer of the company have evaluated the
effectiveness of the design and operation of the company's disclosure controls
and procedures as of April 2, 2005 and, based on their evaluation, the chief
executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that these controls
and procedures are effective.  Disclosure controls and procedures are designed
to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the company in the
reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified
in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms.  Disclosure
controls and procedures are also designed to ensure that information is
accumulated and communicated to management, including the chief executive
officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure.

There has been no change in the company's internal control over financial
reporting that occurred during the company's fiscal quarter ended April 2,
2005 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect,
the company's internal control over financial reporting.
