PART I
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS
In June 1985, Consulier Engineering, Inc. (Consulier or the Company) was incorporated in
Florida. Its principal businesses are the development of household and tool products, corporate
activities and ownership in limited liability companies, which includes the consolidation of
System Technologies, LLC (see below). The company has ownership interests in limited liability
companies in developing environmental pesticide alternatives (BioSafe Systems, LLC) and in
developing data based integrated emergency room information systems (Systems Technologies, LLC).
Consuliers corporate office is located in Riviera Beach, Florida.
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS SEGMENTS
(1) OWNERSHIP IN LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANIES SEGMENT
AVM, L.P.
Consulier owns a 7.5% equity interest in AVM, L.P. (AVM), a broker/dealer in U.S. Government
securities formed in October 1983 as an Illinois limited partnership and located in West Palm
Beach, Florida. AVM is registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission as an Introducing
Broker (IB) and conducts its IB business with other broker/dealers on a fully disclosed basis. AVM
is also registered as a broker/dealer with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and is a member
of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. The firm is generally engaged in the
brokerage of U.S. Government securities, other fixed income instruments, and arbitrage
transactions. Warren B. Mosler (Mosler), Consuliers Chairman and majority shareholder is one of
the founders of AVM and is a member of the general partner of AVM.
As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, Consuliers limited partnership interest represented
approximately 7.5% of AVMs total partnership capital. Allocation of the partnerships income to
its partners varies based on amounts of appreciation of the partnerships assets and operating
profits of the partnership. Based on earnings distributions provided in the partnership agreement,
Consulier was allocated approximately 5.7% of AVMs earnings in 2005 and approximately 8.0% in
2004, amounting to $1,889,476 and $2,327,869 for 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Under the partnership agreement, Consulier may withdraw all or any portion of its capital upon 30
days written notice. AVMs general partner may also expel Consulier from the partnership, on 30
days written notice, through return of the balance of Consuliers capital.
BIOSAFE SYSTEMS, LLC
Consulier owns a 40% equity interest in BioSafe Systems, LLC. (BioSafe), a Connecticut limited
liability corporation. BioSafe develops and markets environmentally safe products, alternatives to
traditionally toxic pesticides. Consulier is entitled to representation on BioSafes Board of
Managers. BioSafe had revenues of $6,317,456 and $6,388,772 for fiscal 2005 and 2004,
respectively. Steady and consistent progress has been made with respect to establishing an
algaecide/fungicide product into the commercial greenhouse/nursery market. Sales in the
4th Quarter dropped 36.1% from 4th Quarter of 2004, as the companys
customers were affected by the 3rd worst year for U.S. extreme weather events in
history.

ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS (CONTINUED)
SYSTEMS TECHNOLOGIES, LLC
During August 2002 the Company purchased a 14.25% interest in Systems Technologies, LLC (ST,
LLC), a Nevada limited liability company. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company
made additional contributions of $3,367,000 to increase its investment in ST, LLC. As of December
31, 2005, the Companys interest in ST, LLC totaled 57.8%. ST, LLC is a member of Patient Care
Technology Systems, LLC, a California limited liability company (PCTS). At December 31, 2005, ST,
LLCs primary asset was its 75% investment in PCTS. The ST, LLC agreement stipulates that the
Company receives allocated losses to the extent that the Company has made capital contributions
during the current year or since inception. Consequently, the loss allocated to the Company is
greater than 58%. The Companys majority shareholder owns approximately 23.6 %, and together with
the Companys 57.8%, the ownership aggregates 81.4%. The Company can require the Companys
majority shareholder to purchase its interest in ST, LLC for cash equal to the Companys total
capital contributions in ST, LLC at any time with 60 days written notice. Management has evaluated
ST, LLCs (primarily PCTS) projections and related assumptions regarding their operations. In
this regard, management periodically compares actual results to these projections. Should actual
results be significantly less than the projection, a write down might be considered necessary.
PCTS markets the Amelior patient care systems which are data based integrated emergency room
information systems. During 2005, PCTS focused on acquiring new products and marketing and selling
its Amelior systems, greatly expanded and upgraded their sales force and by year end had fully
operational installations in 63 facilities which can serve approximately 1,665,000 patients
annually.
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable
Interest Entities, an Interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 (FIN 46(R)) requires
a variable interest entity (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 a 57.86% equity interest in ST, LLC, 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 was greater than 57.8%. We began consolidating the
balance sheet of ST, LLC in accordance with FIN 46(R), as of
December 31, 2004. During the year ended December 31, 2004, the
Company recorded the investment under the equity method. Effective April 1, 2005, the Company owned
in excess of 50% of ST, LLC, thus also requiring consolidation. A cumulative effect adjustment was
not recorded upon initial consolidation because the Company had previously recognized its allocated
share of losses and our investment had been written down to zero at December 31, 2004. ST, LLCs
surplus in stockholders equity at the December 31, 2004 (adoption date), is reflected as a
minority interest liability in the consolidated balance sheet.

ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS (CONTINUED)
(2) CORPORATE SEGMENT
GENERAL
Consuliers Corporate Segment includes management and finance activities as well as consulting,
engineering, new product development and business management. Since C-6 Products, Inc. was merged
into the Company during the 3rd Quarter of 2004, the Companys only wholly owned
subsidiary is Consulier International, Inc.
(3) HEALTHCARE INFORMATION AND TRACKING SYSTEM
PCTS markets the Amelior patient care systems which are data based integrated emergency room
information systems. During the last Quarter of 2004, PCTS purchased Healthcare IT for $1,240,000.
Healthcare IT, Inc. is a provider of automatic tracking technology for emergency departments and
Operating Rooms. The system tracks the real time status and location of patients and assets
through wireless technology. During the third Quarter of 2005, PCTS purchased the Paper Template
product line and technology from nuMedica, Inc. for $592,223. Paper Templates can be used by
hospital emergency departments that are not ready to convert to a data based computerized
integrated information system. During the fourth Quarter of 2005, PCTS purchased emergency medical
department tracking software from nuMedica, Inc. for $150,000 to be integrated with the active
tracking technology acquired from Healthcare IT. PCTS offers advanced clinical information systems
to hospitals emergency department to which it will cross market the automatic tracking technology
of Healthcare IT, and the Paper Template technology and emergency medical department patient
tracking software acquired from nuMedica, Inc.
ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
Consuliers headquarters are located in Riviera Beach, Florida, occupying approximately 500 square
feet of office space in a building owned by Warren Mosler, the Companys majority shareholder.
Consulier owns a 47,000 square foot industrial warehouse in Medley, Florida, which is leased to
Southeast Automotive Acquisition Company, a former subsidiary, for a five (5) year term which
commenced on July 1, 2002 with an initial base rent of $10,000 per month; the lease contains
provisions for annual CPI rental increases and two (2) options to renew for additional terms of
five (5) years each.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company, from time to time, is involved in routine litigation arising in the ordinary course of
business. While the outcome of litigation can never be predicted with certainty, the Company does
not believe that any existing litigation, individually or in aggregate, will have a material
adverse effect upon the Company.
As of December 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), which was filed on May 16, 2003.
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.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
The election of five directors and the approval of independent auditors were submitted to a vote of
shareholders by written agreement of holders of 4,390,826 shares of common stock in lieu of an
annual meeting effective December 7, 2005. 88.4% elected the Directors and ratified the Goldstein
Lewin & Co. appointment. No proxies or ballots were solicited from the remainder of the
shareholders. Additionally, on December 30, 2005, an annual informational meeting of stockholders
was held to fully comply with all securities laws, rules and regulations applicable to such
meeting, including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as Amended (Securities Act),
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as Amended (the Exchange Act), and the rules and regulations
promulgated under the Securities Act by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
Statements made in this Managements Discussion and Analysis and elsewhere in this Annual Report
that state Consuliers or managements intentions, hopes, beliefs, expectations or predictions of
the future contain forward looking statements. Such forward looking statements include, without
limitation, statements regarding Consuliers planned capital expenditure requirements, cash and
working capital requirements, Consuliers expectations regarding the adequacy of current financing
arrangements, product demand and market growth, other statements regarding future plans and
strategies, anticipated events or trends, and similar expressions concerning matters that are not
historical facts. It should be noted that Consuliers actual results could differ materially from
those contained in such forward looking statements mentioned above due to adverse changes in any
number of factors that affect Consuliers business including, without limitation, risks associated
with investing in BioSafe, AVM and ST, LLC, and the marketing of Cra-Z Soap products, manufacturing
and supply risks, risks concerning the protection of Consuliers patents, reliance upon
distributors, regulatory risks, risks of expansion, product liability and other risks described
herein.

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION (CONTINUED)
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Management believes the following critical accounting policies affect the significant
judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements:
The Companys consolidated balance sheet includes the assets and liabilities of ST, LLC,
as of December 31, 2004, which was consolidated as a variable interest entity through April 1,
2005. The Company began consolidating ST, LLC under traditional consolidation rules subsequent to
April 1, 2005 because it had acquired more than a 50% ownership interest. The consolidated
statement of operations reflects the operations of ST, LLC for the year ended December 31, 2005 and
reflects the allocated loss from ST, LLC for 2004. The financial activity is consolidated at
December 31, 2005 and for the year ended December 31, 2005.
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.
Financial Reporting Release No. 60, as released by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission,
encourages all companies to include a discussion of critical accounting policies or methods used in
the preparation of consolidated financial statements. Note 1 to the Companys consolidated
financial statements includes a summary of the significant accounting policies and methods used in
the preparation of Consuliers consolidated financial statements.
PARTNERSHIP AND LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY INVESTMENTS
The Companys Partnership and Limited Liability Company investments, both of which are less than
50% interests, are accounted for using the equity method. Income or loss is allocated by
the investee to Consulier based on the partnership and LLC agreements.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Sales are recorded upon shipment of goods to customers for the Companys household and tool
products.
Shipping and handling costs billed to customers are included in sales and recorded when goods are
shipped to customers. Shipping costs of the Company are classified as a selling expense.
The Company derives revenue from the following sources: (1) licensing and sale of data based
integrated emergency room information systems and passive tracking technologies, which includes new
software license and software license updates and product support revenues and (2) services, which
include consulting, advanced product services and education revenues.
New software license revenues represent all fees earned from granting customers licenses to use the
Companys database and tracking technology as well as applications software, and exclude revenue
derived from software license updates, which are included in software license updates and product

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION (CONTINUED)
REVENUE RECOGNITION (CONTINUED)
support. While the basis for software license revenue recognition is substantially governed by the
provisions of Statement of Position (SOP) No. 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, issued by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the Company exercises judgment and use
estimates in connection with the determination of the amount of software and services revenues to
be recognized in each accounting period.
For software license arrangements that do not require significant modification or customization of
the underlying software, the Company recognizes new software license revenue when: (1) the Company
enters into a legally binding arrangement with a customer for the license of software; (2) the
Company delivers the products; (3) customer payment is deemed fixed or determinable and free of
contingencies or significant uncertainties; and (4) collection is probable. Substantially all new
software license revenue is recognized in this manner. The vast majority of software license
arrangements include software license updates and product support, which are recognized ratably
over the term of the arrangement, typically one year. Software license updates provide customers
with rights to unspecified software product upgrades, maintenance releases and patches released
during the term of the support period. Product support includes internet access to technical
content, as well as internet and telephone access to technical support personnel. Software license
updates and product support are generally priced as a percentage of the net new software license
fees.
Many of the Companys software arrangements include consulting implementation services sold
separately under consulting engagement contracts. Consulting revenue from these arrangements are
generally accounted for separately from new software license revenue because the arrangements
qualify as service transactions as defined in SOP No. 97-2. The more significant factors
considered in determining whether the revenue should be accounted for separately include the nature
of services (i.e. consideration of whether the services are essential to the functionality of the
licensed product), degree of risk, availability of services from other vendors, timing of payments
and impact of milestones or acceptance criteria on the realizability of the software license fee.
Revenue for consulting services are generally recognized as the services are performed. If there
is a significant uncertainty about the project completion or receipt of payment for the consulting
services, revenue is deferred until the uncertainty is sufficiently resolved. Contracts with fixed
or not to exceed fees are recognized on a proportional performance basis.
If an arrangement does not qualify for separate accounting of the software license and consulting
transactions, then new software license revenue is generally recognized together with the
consulting services based on contract accounting using either the percentage-of-completion or
completed-contract method. Contract accounting is applied to any arrangements: (1) that include
milestones or customer specific acceptance criteria that may affect collection of the software
license fees; (2) where services include significant modification or customization of the software;
(3) where significant consulting services are provided for in the software license contract without
additional charge or are substantially discounted; or (4) where the software license payment is
tied to the performance of consulting services.
Advanced product services revenue is recognized over the term of the service contract, which is
generally one year. Education revenue is recognized as the classes or other education offerings
are delivered.
For arrangements with multiple elements, the Company allocates revenue to each element of a
transaction based upon its fair value as determined by vendor specific objective evidence.
Vendor specific objective evidence of fair value for all elements of an arrangement is based upon
the normal pricing and discounting practices for those products and services when sold separately
and for software license updates and product support services, as measured by the
renewal rate offered to the customer.
9
ITEM 6. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION (CONTINUED)
REVENUE RECOGNITION (CONTINUED)
The Company defers revenue for any undelivered elements, and recognizes revenue when the product is
delivered or over the period in which the service is performed, in accordance with the revenue
recognition policy for such element. If the Company cannot objectively determine the fair value of
any undelivered element included in bundled software and service arrangements, the Company defers
revenue until all elements are delivered and services have been performed, or until fair value can
objectively be determined for any remaining undelivered elements. When the fair value of a
delivered element has not been established, the residual method is used to record revenue if the
fair value of all undelivered elements is determinable. Under the residual method, the fair value
of the undelivered elements is deferred and the remaining portion of the arrangement fee is
allocated to the delivered elements and is recognized as revenue.
USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America 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.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
CONSOLIDATED OPERATING RESULTS FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS During the twelve months ended
December 31, 2005, sales increased $907,766 to $956,392 over the prior twelve months. Total
operating costs and expenses increased by $8,207,450 as a result of the consolidation of ST, LLC.
Other income, consisting primarily of investment income, less net undistributed loss of equity
investees reflects a total other income of $2,033,410 in 2005, compared to total loss from other
income of $3,326,815 during 2004. The primary reason for the increase in other income was due to
the consolidation of ST, LLC in 2005 as opposed to the equity method of accounting for the loss
$6,029,544 in 2004.
INVESTMENT IN AVM Investment income from Consuliers AVM limited partnership interest was
$1,889,476 in 2005, an 18.8% decrease from 2004 income of $2,327,869. This represents annualized
returns of 102% and 126% on Consuliers average investment during the years ended December 31, 2005
and 2004, respectively.
INVESTMENT IN BIOSAFE Equity in income of BioSafe was $236,604 in 2005, a 17.5% decrease over
2004 income of $286,953. This represents the Companys 40% interest in BioSafes net income of
approximately $591,000 in 2005, compared to approximately $717,000 in 2004. The Company received
distributions from BioSafe of $125,104.
10
ITEM 6. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION (CONTINUED)
OUTLOOK FOR 2006
Based on AVMs recent operations and operating results over the past five years, management expects
continued annualized returns in 2006 on Consuliers limited partnership investment. However, there
is no guarantee that the returns of 102% and 126% in 2005 and 2004, respectively, 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 Cra-Z
Hand and All Purpose Cleaner throughout 2006 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.
BioSafe Systems, LLC ended 2005 at only 1.1% below 2004 sales in spite of 2005 being the third
worst year for U.S. extreme weather events in US history. The agricultural segment actually
finished the year ahead of 2004 net income by 2.1%. The company continues to emphasize tight
controls over raw materials and supply costs, and were able to slightly grow gross margins in 2005.
A per pallet fuel surcharge was initiated in the final quarter to offset the impact of oil
prices on freight rates.
The Company intends to substantially 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 investment will be between $5 million and $7 million. The exact
amount will be based upon market acceptance of PCTSs Amelior products and the need for investment
funds. PCTS currently has contracts for 10 additional installations which are scheduled to be in
place during the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th quarters of 2006. The new
installations which should serve approximately 340,000 patients would bring the estimated number of
patients to approximately 2,000,000 annually. During 2006 PCTS plans to expand its product scope to
incorporate solutions for departments in addition to Emergency Room, such as Operating Room, ICU
and Labor & Delivery. PCTS plans to concentrate on selling and marketing their newly acquired
Active Tracking solutions, emergency medical department patient tracking technology and Paper
Templates, and further developing their product offerings by developing strategic partnerships with
vendors that offer unique technologies and augment their core emergency department information
system.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At
December 31, 2005, Consuliers cash totaled $286,442 as
compared to $117,124 at December 31,
2004, an increase of $169,318. Net cash used by operations was
$7,713,245 in 2005, compared to net
cash provided by operations of $483,788 in 2004. Net cash used by operations is a result of the
consolidation of ST, LLC as opposed to reporting on the equity method.
Net cash provided by investing activities was $680,081 in 2005, compared to net cash used in
investing activities of $1,282,666 in 2004. The increase is primarily due to the consolidation of
ST, LLC as opposed to reporting the contributions to ST, LLC on the equity method in 2004.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $7,202,482 in 2005, compared to net cash used in
financing activities of $86,611 in 2004. The increase was primarily due to the consolidation of
ST, LLC as opposed to reporting the contributions to ST, LLC on the equity method in 2004 and
additional loans from the Companys majority shareholder.
11
ITEM 6. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION (CONTINUED)
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (CONTINUED)
The ability of Consulier to continue to generate cash flow in excess of its operating requirements
depends in the short-term 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 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. Consulier is planning to continue to invest in
ST, LLC and estimates an additional investment of $5 million to $7 million, at which time the goal
is for ST, LLC to be at the break-even point for its operations.
The Company does not trade derivative instruments. The Company is invested in AVM, which enters
various transactions involving derivatives and other off-balance sheet financial instruments.
These derivatives and off-balance sheet instruments are subject to varying degrees of market and
credit risk.
IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES
Management does not consider the impact of inflation on Consuliers operations to be material. The
operating segments of its businesses had inventories of $64,581 as of December 31, 2005.
Considering the dollar value of inventory and the gross profit margins generated by sales, moderate
rates of inflation should have little, if any, effect on the business. Product development
expenditures will be significantly reduced, but such expenditures should not be significantly
affected by inflation.

ITEM 8a. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of the end of the period
covered by the annual report, being December 31, 2005, we have carried out an evaluation of the
effectiveness of the design and operation of our Companys disclosure controls and procedures.
This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Companys
management including our Companys President along with our companys Chief Financial Officer.
Based upon that evaluation, our Companys President along with our Companys Chief Financial
Officer concluded that our Companys disclosure controls and procedures are effective. Based upon
that evaluation, no change in our Companys internal controls over financial reporting has occurred
during the quarter then ended, which has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Disclosure controls and procedures and other procedures that are designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period
specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms. Disclosure controls and
procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure the information
required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is
accumulated and communicated to management including our President and Chief Financial Officer as
appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

INDENTIFICATION OF AUDIT COMMITTEE
The Audit Committee of the Company is currently composed of three directors (Burck E. Grosse,
Jean-Pierre Arnaud and Skender Fani) and operates under a written charter adopted by the Board of
Directors. The Companys audit committee is responsible for: (1) selection and oversight of our
independent accountant; (2) establishing procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of
complaints regarding accounting, internal controls and auditing matters; (3) establishing
procedures for the confidential, anonymous submission by our employees of concerns regarding
accounting and auditing matters; (4) engaging outside advisors; and, (5) funding for the outside
auditor and any outside advisors engagement by the audit committee.
AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT
The Companys board of directors does not have an audited committee financial expert, within the
meaning of such phrase under applicable regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission,
serving on its audit committee. The board of directors believes that all members of its audit
committee are financially literate and experienced in business matters, and that one or more
members of the audit committee are capable of (i) understanding generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP) and financial statements, (ii) assessing the general application of GAAP
principles in connection with our accounting for estimates, accruals and reserves, (iii) analyzing
and evaluating our financial statements, (iv) understanding our internal controls and procedures
for financial reporting; and (v) understanding audit committee functions, all of which are
attributes of an audit committee financial expert. However, the board of directors believes that
there is not any audit committee member who has obtained these attributes through the experience
specified in the SECs definition of audit committee financial expert. Further, like many small
companies, it is difficult for the Company to attract and retain board members who qualify as
audit committee financial experts, and competition for these individuals is significant. The
board believes that its current audit committee is able to fulfill its role under SEC regulations
despite not having a designated audit committee financial expert.
CODE OF BUSINESS CONDUCT AND ETHICS
The Company has adopted a comprehensive code of ethics that applies to its principle officers and
persons performing similar functions.

LONG-TERM INCENTIVE AND PENSION PLANS
On January 1, 1998 employees of Consulier became members of the Mosler Auto Care Center, Inc.
401(k) Retirement Plan (the Plan). The Plan allows employees to save up to 15% of their gross pay.
Consulier may match a percentage of the employees savings contributions or provide more money,
through discretionary contributions. During 2005 and 2004 there were no matching or discretionary
contributions made by the Company to employees accounts. The benefit derived by employees was the
tax deferral on earnings until they receive them as benefits. Mr. Mosler and the directors do not
participate in this Plan.
The employees of Patient Care Technology Systems (which is 75% owned by ST, LLC) are members of a
401(k) retirement plan. This plan allows employees to save up to 100% of compensation to a maximum
of $15,000 as prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service code. The company does not contribute to
the plan or match any employee contribution.

None.
AUDIT COMMITTEE POLICIES
Effective May 6, 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted rules that require that
before our independent auditor is engaged by us to render any auditing or permitted non-audit
related service, the engagement be:
|
|
|
approved by our audit committee; or |
|
|
|
|
entered into pursuant to pre-approval policies and procedures established by the audit
committee, provided the policies and procedures are detailed as to the particular service,
the audit committee is informed of each service, and such polices and procedures do not
include delegation of the audit committees responsibilities to management. |
The audit committee pre-approves all services provided by our independent auditors, including those
set forth above. The audit committee has considered the nature and amount of fees billed by
Goldstein Lewin & Co. and believes that the provision of services for activities unrelated to the
audit is compatible with maintaining Goldstein Lewin & Co.s independence.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors
Consulier Engineering, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Riviera Beach, Florida
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Consulier Engineering, Inc. and
Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and the related consolidated statements of operations,
stockholders equity and cash flows for each of the two years then ended. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Consulier Engineering, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31,
2005 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the two years then ended
in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

CONSULIER ENGINEERING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1: NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
NATURE OF BUSINESS
Consulier Engineering, Inc. (Consulier) and its subsidiaries are engaged in three primary business
lines: the distribution of ownership in limited liability companies, medical software activities
and Captain Cra-Z Soap .
Consulier International, Inc. (a subsidiary) markets and distributes Captain Cra-Z Soap .
Consuliers income is derived from ownership of limited liability companies and limited partnership
interests (Note 9) 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 a majority member (75%) of Patient Care Technology Systems, LLC (PCTS) which develops and
licenses data based integrated emergency room information systems Amelior ED. Moslers ownership
in ST, LLC was approximately 24% as of December 31, 2005. 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 July 15, 2005 and November 10, 2005, PCTS, LLC acquired certain
assets of nuMedica, Inc. (nuMedica), which designs, customizes, markets, sells and distributes
paper templates used for diagnostic purposes in emergency medical departments (Note 4).
On October 8, 2004, the Company merged C-6 Products, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary, into
Consulier Engineering, Inc. C-6 Products, Inc. distributed the Tool TopperTM products.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include Consulier and its wholly-owned
subsidiary, Consulier International, Inc. and majority-owned ST, LLC, (collectively known as the
Company). The Company began consolidating ST, LLC, a variable interest entity (VIE), as of
December 31, 2004. Effective April 1, 2005, Consulier increased its ownership in ST, LLC to 58%
(Note 2).
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).
F-6
CONSULIER ENGINEERING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1: NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
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 and actual results could differ from
these estimates and those differences may be material.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid
investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company
had no restricted cash equivalents as of December 31, 2005.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS
The Company evaluates the collectibility of its accounts receivable based on a combination of
factors. In cases where the Company is aware of circumstances that may impair a specific
customers ability to meet its financial obligations to the Company, the Company records a specific allowance against amounts
due to us, and thereby reduce the net recognized receivable to the amount the Company reasonably
believes will be collected. For all other customers, the Company recognizes allowances for
doubtful accounts based on the length of time the receivables are past due, the current business
environment and historical experience.
Accounts receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms. Management performs
continuing credit evaluations of customers financial condition and generally does not require
collateral. Management reviews accounts receivable on a monthly basis to determine if any
receivables will potentially be uncollectible. The Company includes any accounts receivable
balances that are determined to be uncollectible, along with a general reserve, in its overall
allowance for doubtful accounts. The general reserve is based upon historical collection
experience, current economic conditions and market conditions. After all attempts to collect a
receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance. Based on the
information available, management believes its allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31,
2005 is adequate. However, actual write-offs might exceed the recorded allowance.
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.

CONSULIER ENGINEERING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1: NATURE 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. Approximately 60%
of the Companys software licensing fees are derived from 3
customers. Customers A, B and C represented approximately 25%, 20% and
15%, respectively, of total software licensing fees.
ST, LLC currently buys all of its hardware and some major software components of 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.
INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market by analyzing
market conditions, current sales prices, inventory costs, and inventory balances. The Company
evaluates inventory balances for excess quantities and obsolescence on a regular basis by analyzing
backlog, estimated demand, inventory on hand, sales levels and other information. Based on that
analysis, the Companys management estimates the amount of provisions made for obsolete or slow
moving inventory.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Property and equipment
under capital leases, if any, are stated at the lower of the present value of the minimum lease
payments at the beginning of the lease term or the fair value at the inception of the lease.
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
related assets. Amortization expense on assets acquired under capital leases, if any, is included
in depreciation expense. The costs of leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the
lease term or the life of the improvement.
CAPITALIZED SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS
Software development costs are accounted for in accordance with 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. Amortization expense on capitalized software development costs totaled $309,944 for
the year ended December 31, 2005. Accumulated amortization totaled $619,920 at December 31, 2005.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Intangible assets consist of customer lists acquired in connection with the acquisition of certain
assets from HIT (Note 2) and nuMedica (Note 4), which are being amortized, over three to five
years, using the straight-line method, and non-compete agreements, which are being amortized over
one year, 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.
LONG-LIVED ASSETS IMPAIRMENTS AND DISPOSALS
The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 144,
Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. SFAS No. 144 requires that
long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company compares the carrying
amount of the asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use
of the asset. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds estimated expected undiscounted future
cash flows, the Company records an impairment charge for the difference between the carrying amount
of the asset and its fair value. The estimation of fair value is generally measured by discounting
expected future cash flows at the Companys incremental borrowing rate or fair value, if available.
PARTNERSHIP AND LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANIES INVESTMENTS
The Companys investments in AVM and Biosafe are less than 50% ownership and are accounted for
using the equity method. ST, LLC was consolidated under the provisions of Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 46(R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities
(FIN 46(R)), from December 31, 2004 through March 31, 2005. Effective April 1, 2005, the Company
owned in excess of 50% of ST, LLC (Note 2), thereby requiring consolidation. The Company owns less
than 20% in AVM; 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 operating agreement with
PCTS, LLC, the Company was exposed to the majority of risk related to the activities of ST, LLC and
PCTS, LLC. Therefore, in accordance with FIN 46R, the Company considered ST, LLC as a variable
interest entity that required consolidation into the Companys financial statements as of December
31, 2004. However, effective April 1, 2005, the operating agreement was amended to reallocate
membership interests in this partnership based upon historical contributions. The Company receives
allocated losses to the extent of its contributions from inception. Consequently, the losses
allocated to Consulier can be greater than or less than the Companys ownership percentage.

PARTNERSHIP AND LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANIES INVESTMENTS (CONTINUED)
The Company has elected, as permitted under FIN 46R, not to restate prior years financial
statements. In 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 Note 11. 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
The Company derives revenue from the following sources: (1) licensing and sale of data based
integrated emergency room information systems and passive tracking technologies, which includes new
software license and software license updates and product support revenues and (2) services, which
include consulting, advanced product services and education revenues.
New software license revenues represent all fees earned from granting customers licenses to use the
Companys database and tracking technology as well as applications software, and exclude revenue
derived from software license updates, which are included in software license updates and product
support. While the basis for software license revenue recognition is substantially governed by the
provisions of Statement of Position (SOP) No. 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, issued by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the Company exercises judgment and use
estimates in connection with the determination of the amount of software and services revenues to
be recognized in each accounting period.
For software license arrangements that do not require significant modification or customization of
the underlying software, the Company recognizes new software license revenue when: (1) the Company
enters into a legally binding arrangement with a customer for the license of software; (2) the
Company delivers the products; (3) customer payment is deemed fixed or determinable and free of
contingencies or significant uncertainties; and (4) collection is probable. Substantially all new
software license revenue is recognized in this manner. The vast majority of software license
arrangements include software license updates and product support, which are recognized ratably
over the term of the arrangement, typically one year. Software license updates provide customers
with rights to unspecified software product upgrades, maintenance releases and patches released
during the term of the support period. Product support includes internet access to technical
content, as well as internet and telephone access to
F-10
CONSULIER ENGINEERING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1: NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
REVENUE RECOGNITION (CONTINUED)
technical support personnel. Software license updates and product support are generally priced as
a percentage of the net new software license fees.
Many of the Companys software arrangements include consulting implementation services sold
separately under consulting engagement contracts. Consulting revenue from these arrangements are
generally accounted for separately from new software license revenue because the arrangements
qualify as service transactions as defined in SOP No. 97-2. The more significant factors
considered in determining whether the revenue should be accounted for separately include the nature
of services (i.e. consideration of whether the services are essential to the functionality of the
licensed product), degree of risk, availability of services from other vendors, timing of payments
and impact of milestones or acceptance criteria on the realizability of the software license fee.
Revenue for consulting services are generally recognized as the services are performed. If there
is a significant uncertainty about the project completion or receipt of payment for the consulting
services, revenue is deferred until the uncertainty is sufficiently resolved. Contracts with fixed
or not to exceed fees are recognized on a proportional performance basis.
If an arrangement does not qualify for separate accounting of the software license and consulting
transactions, then new software license revenue is generally recognized together with the
consulting services based on contract accounting using either the percentage-of-completion or
completed-contract method. Contract accounting is applied to any arrangements: (1) that include
milestones or customer specific acceptance criteria that may affect collection of the software
license fees; (2) where services include significant modification or customization of the software;
(3) where significant consulting services are provided for in the software license contract without
additional charge or are substantially discounted; or (4) where the software license payment is
tied to the performance of consulting services.
Advanced product services revenue is recognized over the term of the service contract, which is
generally one year. Education revenue is recognized as the classes or other education offerings
are delivered.
For arrangements with multiple elements, the Company allocates revenue to each element of a
transaction based upon its fair value as determined by vendor specific objective evidence.
Vendor specific objective evidence of fair value for all elements of an arrangement is based upon
the normal pricing and discounting practices for those products and services when sold separately
and for software license updates and product support services, is additionally measured by the
renewal rate offered to the customer.
The Company defers revenue for any undelivered elements, and recognizes revenue when the product is
delivered or over the period in which the service is performed, in accordance with the revenue
recognition policy for such element. If the Company cannot objectively determine the fair value of
any undelivered element included in bundle software and service arrangements, the Company defers
revenue until all elements are delivered and services have been performed, or until fair value can
objectively be determined for any remaining undelivered elements. When the fair value of a
delivered element has not been established, the residual method is used to record revenue if the
fair value of all undelivered elements is determinable. Under the residual method, the fair value
of the undelivered elements is

and is recognized as revenue.
ADVERTISING AND MARKETING COSTS
Advertising and marketing costs are expensed as incurred and amounted to $324,754 and $8,736 for
the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentations.
INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method. Under this method, deferred tax
liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the consolidated financial
statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in
which the differences are expected to reverse.
As part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements, the Company is required
to estimate its income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which it operates. This process
involves estimating current tax exposure together with assessing temporary differences resulting
from differing treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in
deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included within the Companys consolidated balance
sheet. The Company then assesses the likelihood that the deferred tax assets will be recovered
from future taxable income and to the extent it believes that recovery is not likely, it
establishes a valuation allowance. To the extent the Company establishes a valuation allowance or
changes this allowance in a period, it includes an expense or a benefit within the tax provision in
the Companys statement of operations.
EARNINGS (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE
Earnings (loss) per common share basic is computed as net income (loss) divided by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Earnings (loss) per common share
diluted is based on the weighted average of common shares and dilutive potential common shares
outstanding during the year. Common stock equivalents, if any, are not included in the calculation
of diluted earnings (loss) per common share diluted for the year ended December 31, 2005 and 2004,
as their effect would be anti-dilutive. As of December 31, 2005
and 2004, the Company did not have any common stock equivalents.
COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)
Comprehensive income (loss) represents the change in net assets of the Company during the period
from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. The Company did not
have any sources of other comprehensive income (loss) as of December 31, 2005 and 2004.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
SFAS No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, requires disclosures of
information about the fair value of certain financial instruments for which it is practicable to
estimate the value. For purposes of this disclosure, the fair value of a financial instrument is
the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing
parties other than in a forced sale or liquidation.
The carrying amounts of the Companys financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents,
accounts receivables, income taxes receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate
fair value because of their short maturities. The carrying amount of investments approximate fair
value based upon the recoverability of these assets.
EFFECTS OF RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment, which requires all
companies to measure compensation cost for all share-based payments, including employee stock
options, at fair value. SFAS No. 123R is effective for public companies for interim or annual
period beginning after June 15, 2005, except small business issuers (as defined in SEC Regulation
S-B), for which the effective date is December 15, 2005. The Company does not believe that the
impact of SFAS No. 123R will be significant to the Companys overall results of operations or
financial position.
In July 2005, the FASB issued Emerging Issue Task Force (EITF) Abstract No. 05-6, Determining
the Amortization period for Leasehold Improvements Purchased After Lease Inception or Acquired in a
Business Combination (EITF No. 05-6), which addressed the amortization period for leasehold
improvements made on operating leases acquired significantly after the beginning of the lease. The
EITF is effective for leasehold improvements made in periods beginning after June 29, 2005. We
adopted the provisions of EITF No. 05-6 on July 1, 2005, which did not have a material impact to
the Companys overall results of operations or financial position.
In June 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, a
replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3. SFAS No. 154 will become effective
for accounting changes and correction of errors made in fiscal year 2006 and beyond. The effect of
this statement on the Companys consolidated financial statements will depend on the nature and
significance of future accounting changes subject to this statement.
In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43,
Chapter 4. SFAS No. 151 requires certain abnormal expenditures to be recognized as expenses in
the current period. It also requires that the amount of fixed production overhead allocated to
inventory be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The standard will become
effective in fiscal year 2006. SFAS No. 151 is not expected to have a material effect on the
Companys consolidated financial statements.

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 No. 46R). In December
2003, the FASB modified FIN No. 46R to make certain technical corrections and address certain
implementation issues that had arisen. FIN No. 46R 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 No. 46R 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 began consolidating the balance sheet and operations of ST, LLC in accordance with FIN
No. 46R as of December 31, 2004. This entity qualified as a VIE under FIN No. 46R during that
period, and we were the primary beneficiary. Previously the Company carried the investment under
the equity method.
On April 1, 2005 (date of the amendment to the operating agreement), the Companys ownership in ST,
LLC increased to 54%, thereby requiring consolidation.
Consulier can require Consuliers principal stockholder to purchase its interest in ST, LLC for
cash equal to Consuliers capital account as of the closing date. Consulier has contributed to ST,
LLC approximately $13 million since inception and has no remaining net investment at December 31,
2005.
The following table sets forth the pro-forma consolidated results of operations for the years ended
December 31, 2005 and 2004 giving effect to the consolidation of ST, LLC, as if the Company had

Deferred implantation costs as of December 31, 2005 totaled $1,279,549 and represented equipment
purchased for customers, payroll and payroll related expenses for customer contract which have not
met certain milestones, customer acceptance or go-live dates. Implementation costs are deferred
and recognized ratably over the initial licensing term or upon reaching certain milestones,
acceptance criteria or go-live dates depending on the applicable revenue stream. Deferred
implementation costs are stated at the lower of cost or market.
NOTE 4: ACQUISITION
On July 15, 2005, PCTS, LLC entered into an asset purchase agreement to acquire certain assets of
nuMedica, a California corporation, for $592,223. The purchase price included registered and
unregistered copyrights, trade secrets, customer lists and non-compete agreements to be paid upon
execution of all non-compete agreements. nuMedica is engaged in the design, customization,
marketing, sale and distribution of paper templates used for diagnostic purposes in emergency
medical departments.
On November 10, 2005, PCTS also entered into an asset purchase agreement with nuMedica, providing
for the acquisition of certain additional assets of nuMedicas patient tracking division. The
purchase price specified in the agreement was $150,000, payable in cash upon the completion of
certain terms of the asset purchase agreement. The purchase price included registered and
unregistered copyrights of the tracking software and customer lists. Pursuant to the asset
purchase agreement, PCTS will not assume any debt, obligations, or other liabilities arising out of
the sellers business or operations as of November 10, 2005. With the acquisition, the Company
expects to integrate the patient tracking software with software technologies acquired from HIT and
increase its customer base in the passive tracking technologies for emergency departments and
operating rooms.

NOTE 11: STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY
STOCK OPTION PLANS
Consulier established a Tandem Stock Option Plan (Tandem Plan) and an Incentive Stock Option Plan
(Incentive Plan) covering current employees and former employees who currently work for Mosler
Auto Care Center, Inc. (MACC). Under the Tandem Plan, qualified and non-qualified options may be
granted (Note 16).
The Tandem Plan provides that an aggregate of 200,000 options to purchase shares of Consuliers
common stock may be granted to officers, directors and other key employees of Consulier and MACC.
The Incentive Plan provides that an aggregate of 100,000 options to purchase shares of Consuliers
common stock may be granted to officers and other key employees of Consulier. The options under
both plans are exercisable after two years of continuous employment or service and have a maximum
life of ten years from the date of grant.
Options to purchase 61,232 shares of Consuliers common stock by employees were exercised in fiscal
2000. Loans totaling $76,540 were made to these employees for a term up to five years at an 8%
annual interest rate for the exercise. At December 31, 2005, $6,651 remains outstanding and is
recorded as notes receivable for common stock, included as a reduction of stockholders equity.
On October 8, 1991, the majority shareholder of the Company granted options to one of the officers
of the Company to purchase common stock of the Company from that primary shareholder. As of
December 31, 2005, the remaining balance of these options amounted to 190,000 shares at $1.25 per
share. Since the issuance of these options in 1991 and all subsequent revisions made to the
options were for reasons unrelated to the business of Consulier Engineering, Inc., no accounting
recognition was reflected on the books and records of the Company in 1991 nor at the time of any
subsequent extension.
CAPITAL STOCK
On December 31, 2004 a former bondholder exercised warrants to purchase 40,000 shares of common
stock at $1.75 per share for cash of $70,000.
During December 2004, the Company repurchased 19,123 shares of its common stock from one of its
former bondholders for $3.50 per share for a total purchase price of $66,936.
On December 31, 2004, 4,807 shares of stock were issued to a related party for cash of $16,825
(approximately $3.50 per share, the then market price).
During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company did not issue any shares of its common stock.

COMMON STOCK WARRANTS
In connection with the issuance of the bonds in prior years, Consulier issued warrants to purchase
shares of its common stock at a purchase price of $1.75 per share. The fair value of the warrants
represented an original issue discount, which is being amortized over the remaining term of the
bonds. The allocated value of the warrants has been recorded as additional paid-in-capital.

interest at either a LIBOR based rate plus a margin of 2.10% (4.8% and 4.5%, respectively at
