NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Description of Business
Consulier Engineering, Inc. (Consulier) and its subsidiaries are engaged in three primary business lines: the distribution of Captain Cra-Z Soap, investment activities and other activities.
Consulier International, Inc. (a subsidiary) markets and distributes Captain Cra-Z Soap .
Consuliers investment income and losses are derived from investments in limited liability companies and limited partnership interests (Note 3) in BioSafe Systems, LLC (BioSafe), Systems Technologies, LLC (ST, LLC) and AVM, L.P. (AVM), an Illinois limited partnership. BioSafe develops and markets environmentally safe products, alternatives to traditionally toxic pesticides. AVM is a broker/dealer in government securities and other fixed income instruments. Consuliers Chairman and majority stockholder, Warren B. Mosler (Mosler), is a general partner of the general partner of AVM. ST, LLC is the majority member (75%) of Patient Care Technology Systems, LLC (PCTS) which develops and licenses data based integrated emergency room information systems Amelior ED. On September 28, 2004, PCTS acquired all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Healthcare Information Technology, Inc.(HIT), a provider of passive tracking technologies for emergency departments and operating rooms. The software technologies acquired from HIT tracks the status and location of patients and assets through wireless badges worn by people and staff or attached to equipment in the emergency department and ancillary areas.
On October 8, 2004, the Company merged C-6 Products, Inc. into Consulier Engineering, Inc. C-6 Products, Inc. distributed the Tool TopperTM products.
Basis of Consolidation
The accompanying condensed interim consolidated financial statements include Consulier and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Consulier International, Inc., (collectively known as the Company). The Company began consolidating ST, LLC, a variable interest entity (VIE) as of December 31, 2004 (Note 2).
The accompanying condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Consulier and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company uses the equity method of accounting for investments where its ownership is between 20% and 50%. For investments in partnerships that meet the criteria of a VIE and where the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary for accounting purposes, such entities are consolidated effective December 31, 2004 (Note 2).

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Interim Financial Data
The accompanying unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with instructions to Form 10-QSB and Regulation S-B. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. However, management believes the accompanying unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of the Consulier Engineering, Inc. and subsidiaries (Consulier) as of March 31, 2005, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004. The results of operations and cash flows for the period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations or cash flows that can be expected for the year ending December 31, 2005. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in Consuliers annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004.
Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are used when accounting for allowances for doubtful accounts, revenue reserves, inventory reserves, depreciation and amortization, taxes, contingencies and impairment allowances. Such estimates are reviewed on an on-going basis, actual results could differ from these estimates and those differences maybe material.
Concentrations
Financial instruments, which potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk, as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 105, Disclosure of Information about Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk and Financial Instruments with Concentrations of Credit Risk, consist primarily of accounts receivable. ST, LLCs accounts receivable are concentrated in the healthcare industry. However, ST, LLCs customers typically have been well-established hospitals or medical facilities. However, some hospitals and medical facilities have experienced significant operating losses as a result of limits on third-party reimbursements from insurance companies and governmental entities and extended payment of receivables from these entities is not uncommon.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
To date, ST, LLC has relied on a limited number of customers for a substantial portion of its total revenues. The Company expects that a significant portion of its future revenues will continue to be generated by a limited number of customers. The failure to obtain new customers or expand sales through remarketing partners, the loss of existing customers or reduction in revenues from existing customers could materially and adversely affect the Companys operating results.
ST, LLC currently buys all of its hardware and some major software components for its emergency room information systems from third-party vendors. Although there are a limited number of vendors capable of supplying these components, management believes that other suppliers could provide similar components on comparable terms. A change in suppliers, however, could cause a delay in system implementations and a possible loss of revenues, which could adversely affect operating results.
Capitalized Software Development Costs
Software development costs are accounted for in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 86, Accounting for the Costs of Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed. Costs associated with the planning and designing phase of software development, including coding and testing activities necessary to establish technological feasibility are classified as product research and development and are expensed as incurred. Once technological feasibility has been determined, a portion of the costs incurred in development, including coding, testing, and product quality assurance, are capitalized and subsequently reported at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value.
Amortization is provided on a product-by-product basis over the estimated economic life of the software, not to exceed three years, using the straight-line method. Amortization commences when a product is available for general release to customers. Unamortized capitalized costs determined to be in excess of the net realizable value of a product are expensed at the date of such determination.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets consist of customer lists acquired in connection with PCTSs acquisition of HIT (Note 2), which are being amortized, over five years, using the straight-line method. The Company periodically reviews its intangible assets for impairment and assesses whether significant events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable.

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Partnership and Limited Liability Companies Investments
The Companys partnership and limited liability companies (LLC) investments, all of which are less than 50% interests, are accounted for using the equity method or consolidated under the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 46® Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (FIN 46®) which is effective as of December 31, 2004. The Company owns less than 20% in the partnership investment, however, the Company has the ability to significantly influence this investee under the terms of the partnership agreement. Income or loss is allocated to Consulier based on the partnership and LLC agreements. The Company reviews its partnership and limited liability companies investments for other than temporary declines in value on a monthly basis by analyzing the underlying investees actual revenue, earnings capacity and estimated future undiscounted cash flows.
Due to the Companys partnership agreement with ST, LLC and ST, LLCs partnership agreement with PCTS, the Company is exposed to the majority of risk related to the activities of ST, LLC and PCTS. Therefore, in accordance with FIN 46®, the Company considers ST, LLC as a variable interest entity that requires consolidation into the Companys financial statements as of December 31, 2004.
The Company has elected, as permitted under FIN 46®, not to restate prior years financial statements. In 2003 and 2004, the investment in ST, LLC was carried on the equity method of accounting. As a result of consolidating ST, LLC, a minority interest was created representing the other members.
Stock-Based Compensation
In previous years, the Company granted stock options to employees under stock option plans that are more fully described in the Companys 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004. The Company accounted for those plans using the intrinsic value method under Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. All options under such plans, granted in previous years, expired during 2001 and no new options were granted in 2005 and 2004.
As such, there is no proforma effect on net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and SFAS No. 148 Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Transition and Disclosure.

Revenue Recognition
Revenue from sales of goods are recognized when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement between the Company and the customer exists, (ii) the good or service has been provided to the customer, (iii) the price to the customer is fixed or determinable and (iv) collectibility of the sales prices is reasonably assured. Shipping and handling expenses incurred by the Company are recorded as selling expenses, and are classified in the caption selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, shipping and handling expenses were not material. Historically, the Companys warranty costs have been nominal as the Companys suppliers bear the cost of warranty claims.
Software revenue is derived from the licensing and sale of systems, either directly to end-users or through third-party resellers, comprised of internally developed software, third-party software and hardware components, product support, maintenance and professional services. The Companys revenue recognition policies conform to Statement of Position 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition. Generally, revenue from software license fees and hardware sales to end-users is recognized when a master agreement is signed and products are made available to end-users. Revenues from agreements that contain multiple-element arrangements are allocated to the various elements based on the fair value of the elements. Revenues related to routine installation and integration and project management are deferred until the work is performed. If a contract requires the Company to perform services and modifications that are deemed significant to system acceptance, revenues are recorded either on the percentage-of-completion method or revenues related to the delivered hardware and software components are deferred until such obligations are deemed insignificant, depending on the contractual terms. The Company follows this method since reasonably dependable estimates of the revenues and costs applicable to various stages of a contract can be made. Recognized revenues and profit are subject to revisions as the contract progresses to completion. Revisions in profit estimates are charged or credited to income in the period in which the facts that give rise to the revision become known. Revenues from consulting, education, and application-hosting services are recognized as the services are performed. Revenues from short-term support and maintenance agreements are recognized ratably over the term of the agreements. Billings to customers recorded prior to the recognition of revenues are classified as deferred revenues. Revenues recognized prior to progress billings to customers are recorded as receivables.

NOTE 2. ACCOUNTING FOR VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITY (VIE)
In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 (FIN 46®). In December 2003, the FASB modified FIN 46® to make certain technical corrections and address certain implementation issues that had arisen. FIN 46® provides a new framework for identifying VIEs and determining when a company should include the assets, liabilities, noncontrolling interests and results of activities of a VIE in its financial statements and deferred the effective date for us until December 31, 2004.
In general, a VIE is an entity used to conduct activities or hold assets that either (1) has an insufficient amount of equity to carry out its principal activities without additional subordinated financial support, (2) has a group of equity owners that are unable to make significant decisions about its activities, or (3) has a group of equity owners that do not have the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive returns generated by its operations.
FIN 46® requires a VIE to be consolidated if a party with an ownership, contractual or other financial interest in the VIE is obligated to absorb a majority of the risk of loss from the VIEs activities, is entitled to receive a majority of the VIEs residual returns (if no party absorbs a majority of the VIEs losses), or both. A variable interest holder that consolidates the VIE is called the primary beneficiary. Upon consolidation, the primary beneficiary generally must initially record all of the VIEs assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interests at fair value and subsequently account for the VIE as if it were consolidated based on majority voting interest.
The Company owns 34% equity interest in ST, LLC as of March 31, 2005; however, as stipulated in the amended operating agreement, losses are allocated first to the Company subject to its contributions from inception. Consequently, the loss allocated to the Company could be greater than 34%. This entity qualifies as a VIE under FIN 46®, and we are the primary beneficiary. We began consolidating the balance sheet and operations of ST, LLC in accordance with FIN 46® as of December 31, 2004. Previously the Company carried the investment under the equity method. ST, LLCs surplus in stockholders equity at March 31, 2005, is reflected as a minority interest liability in the unaudited condensed interim consolidated balance sheet.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following compares the results of operations for the three ended March 31, 2005 with the three months ended March 31, 2004:
During the quarter ended March 31, 2005, sales increased totaled approximately $180,000 from the comparable amounts recorded during the quarter ended March 31, 2004. However, approximately $190,000 is due to the consolidation of ST, LLC. Income from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2005 was approximately $104,000, or $.02 per share, compared to a loss of approximately $404,000, or $.08 per share, for the first quarter of 2004.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2005, other income (loss)/(expense) increased from a loss to income by approximately $1,283,000 from the comparable amounts for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. This was primarily a result of the decrease in the undistributed loss of equity investees related party of approximately $1,315,000, due to the consolidation of ST, LLC in accordance with FIN 46®, and the increase in the minority interest investment in ST, LLC.
Investment in Systems Technologies, LLC (ST, LLC) The loss allocated from ST, LLC was approximately $460,000 in the first quarter of 2005, after the minority interest loss allocation of approximately $1,216,000, compared to a loss of approximately $1,365,000 in the first quarter of 2004. Management continues to monitor these activities as it relates to budget amounts. See Liquidity and Capital Resources and Future Outlook sections below. The Company maintains an open option to sell its interest in ST, LLC to the primary stockholder of the Company for its total investment as noted in the accompanying financial statements.
Investment in BioSafe Systems, LLC (BioSafe) Equity in the income of BioSafe was approximately $6,000 in the first quarter of 2005, compared to income of approximately $56,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. This represents the Companys 40% interest in BioSafes net income of approximately $15,000 in the first quarter of 2005, compared to income of approximately $140,000 in the first quarter of 2004.
Investment in AVM, L.P. (AVM) Equity in the income of AVM was $707,000 in the first quarter of 2005, compared to income of approximately $778,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. This represents the Companys 5.77% interest in AVMs net income of approximately $12,200,000 in the first quarter of 2005, compared to income of approximately $9,185,000 in the first quarter of 2004.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At March 31, 2005, Consuliers cash totaled approximately $358,000 as compared to approximately $117,000 at December 31, 2004. Net cash used in operations was approximately $1,638,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to approximately $551,000 of net cash provided in the three months ended March 31, 2004. Net cash provided by investing activities was primarily due to the distribution of approximately $707,000 from AVM during the three months ended March 31, 2005 offset by acquisition of property and equipment totaling approximately $254,000.
Consulier can require Consuliers principal stockholder to purchase its interest in ST, LLC for cash equal to Consuliers capital investment (dollar for dollar) in ST, LLC at any time with 60 days written notice. Consulier has contributed to ST, LLC approximately $11,122,000 since inception and has no remaining net investment at March 31, 2005, after the allocation of ST, LLCs losses.
The ability of Consulier to continue to generate cash flow in excess of its normal operating requirements depends almost entirely on the performance of its limited partnership investment in AVM. Consulier cannot, with any degree of assurance, predict whether there will be a continuation of the net return experienced in the period that the AVM limited partnership interest has been owned. However, Consulier does not expect that the rate of return will decline to the point where Consulier has negative cash flow. Furthermore, although AVM has given Consulier no indication of any intention on its part to redeem the partnership interest, there can be no assurance that AVM will not do so in the future.
The Company has a $2,000,000 line of credit from a bank available, of which $435,000 has been used. It is anticipated that the cash requirements for ST, LLC will reduce in the future as sales increase within that limited liability company.
FUTURE OUTLOOK
Based on AVMs recent operations and operating results over the past five years, management expects continued annualized returns in 2005 on Consuliers limited partnership investments. However, there is no guarantee that the annualized return in the second quarter of 2005 will be maintained.
Consulier International, Inc. has been developing new retail and distribution outlets locally, nationally and internationally. There are several trade shows scheduled for marketing the Captain Cra-Z Hand and All Purpose Cleaner throughout 2005 and the internet web site continues to be a good lead generator with applications for distribution being received through the site from countries all over the world and new marketing materials are being developed.
The impact of the severe weather in Florida continues to impact that market for BioSafe. Sales volumes in that market continue to be off by 50%, however, aquatic market segment nationwide continues its 200% sales increase. Gross margins remain strong and have partially offset the sales volume shortfall. We fully expect to recover the volume lost in the first quarter and return to historical levels by the end of the third quarter of 2005.
20
The Company intends to increase its investment in ST, LLC over the next three to five years. While the exact amount of the Companys future investment has not been quantified at this time, it is expected that the additional investment is to be between $5 million and $7 million. The exact amount will be based upon market acceptance of Patient Care Technology Systems, LLCs (PCTS) AmeliorTM products and the need for investment funds
The acquisition of HealthcareIT, the nations leading passive tracking solution provider during the 4th quarter of 2004 has proven positive. The Company is successfully cross marketing both products as anticipated.

As of March 31, 2005, there were no legal proceedings pending against the Company or its subsidiaries nor did the Company have any knowledge of any proceedings which were being contemplated, except a personal injury claim concerning a fall from a lifeguard stand manufactured by the Company (prior to 2000 in a previous line of business). Although the outcome of any litigation cannot be guaranteed with certainty and the Company maintains insurance coverage for this type of claim, there is a good likelihood that the Company will succeed in its defense of this claim.
