REPORT ON FORM 10-K
FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2008
TABLE OF CONTENTS
i
PART I
GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS
In June 1985 Consulier Engineering, Inc. (Consulier or the Company) was incorporated in
Florida. Consulier is engaged through its subsidiaries in the distribution of Captain Cra-Z Soap
and in developing data-based integrated emergency room information systems. Consulier also holds
minority interests in a securities broker-dealer and a company that develops environmental
pesticide alternatives. Consuliers corporate office is located in Riviera Beach, Florida, and its
telephone number is (561) 842-2492.
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS SEGMENTS
Environmental Products
Consulier owns a 40% equity interest in BioSafe Systems, LLC. (BioSafe), a Connecticut limited
liability company. BioSafe develops and markets environmentally safe products and alternatives to
traditionally toxic pesticides and is engaged in introducing an algaecide/fungicide product into
the commercial greenhouse/nursery market. Consulier holds one of the three positions on BioSafes
Board of Managers. BioSafe had revenues of $8,188,228 and $7,932,600 in 2008 and 2007,
respectively.
Data-Based Integrated Emergency Room Information Systems
In 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, 2008, the Company made
additional contributions to ST, LLC of $3,303,500. As of December 31, 2008, the Company had a 51%
interest in ST, LLC, and accordingly its financial statements are consolidated with the Companys.
ST, LLC is a member of Patient Care Technology Systems, LLC, a California limited liability company
(PCTS). At December 31, 2008, ST, LLCs primary asset was its 75% ownership interest in PCTS.
ST, LLCs operating agreement provides that the Company is allocated losses to the extent that the
Company has made capital contributions during any year or since inception. Consequently, the loss
allocated to the Company may be less than its percentage membership interest. Warren Mosler, who
is the Companys Chairman, a director, and principal shareholder, has a 23.6% membership interest
in ST, LLC, so that his and the Companys ownership interest aggregates 74.6%. The Company can
require Mr. Mosler to purchase its interest in ST, LLC for cash equal to the Companys total
capital account in ST, LLC at any time with 60 days written notice. Management periodically
evaluates ST, LLCs (which are essentially PCTS) projections and related assumptions regarding its
operations and compares actual results to these projections. Should actual results be
significantly less than the projections, a writedown might be considered necessary.
PCTS markets the Amelior patient care systems, which are data-based integrated emergency room
information systems and automatic tracking technology for emergency departments and operating
rooms. In addition, PCTS markets paper templates that can be used by hospital emergency
departments that are not ready to convert to a data-based computerized integrated information
system. During 2008, PCTS focused on acquiring new products and marketing and selling its Amelior
systems, greatly expanded and upgraded its sales force, and by year end had fully operational
installations in 26 facilities which can serve approximately 1,800,000 patients annually. In
February 2008, 3M Company and PCTS entered into a Teaming Agreement under which 3M markets and
sells Amelior Patient care systems to 3M customers on a global basis.
AVM, L.P.
Consulier owns a 6.3% equity interest in AVM, L.P. (AVM), a broker-dealer 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 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, 2008 and 2007, Consuliers limited partnership interest represented
approximately 6.3% and 7.5%, respectively of AVMs total partnership capital. AVMs 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 5.0% of AVMs earnings
in 2008 and approximately 5.3% in 2007, amounting to $3,425,442 and $2,621,375 for 2008 and 2007,
respectively.
CORPORATE SEGMENT
Consuliers corporate segment includes management and finance activities as well as consulting,
engineering, new product development and business management. The Companys only wholly-owned
subsidiary, Consulier International, Inc., markets and distributes Captain Cra-Z Soap, a hand and
all-purpose cleaner.

UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS |
A smaller reporting company is not required to provide the information required by this item.
Consuliers headquarters are located in Riviera Beach, Florida, and occupy approximately 500 square

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 options to renew for additional terms of five
years each. The first option was exercised on July 1, 2007, with a new base rent of $12,405. The
lease was temporarily amended (for a period of 24 months) on January 1, 2009, with a base rent of
$4,673, due to the current financial environment.

Such quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail markup, markdown or commission. Such
quotes do not necessarily represent actual transactions or the value of the Companys securities,
and are, in all likelihood, not based upon any recognized criteria of securities valuation as used
in the investment banking community.
As of December 31, 2008, there were 5,485,122 shares of the Companys common stock issued and
5,294,748 shares outstanding. Of those shares, 4,176,926 shares were restricted securities of
the Company within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, because such shares were issued and sold by the Company in private transactions not
involving a public offering On November 15, 2007, the SEC adopted changes to Rule 144 which took
effect on February 15, 2008. Rule 144, as amended, provides that a person who is not affiliated
with the Company and who holds restricted securities for six months may generally sell such shares
without restriction. A person who is affiliated with the Company and who has held restricted
securities for six months will be
able to sell such shares in brokerage transactions, subject to limitations based on the number of
shares and trading volume and other limitations set forth in Rule 144. The sale of such restricted
shares could have a depressive effect on the price of our common stock in the open market.
3
As of March 8, 2009, there were approximately 91 record shareholders of Consuliers common stock.
However, a significant number of shares of the Companys common stock are held in street name by
brokers on behalf of shareholders and may therefore be held by many beneficial owners.
To date, Consulier has not paid any dividends on its common stock. Because of the financial
requirements of the Company, the Board of Directors has no current intention to commence paying
dividends. Future dividend policy will depend upon Consuliers profitability, capital requirements
and other factors.
EQUITY COMPENSATION 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.
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. These options were exercised during the fourth quarter
of 2006 pursuant to a net-share exercise (cashless).
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, 2008, $6,651 remains outstanding and is
recorded as notes receivable for common stock, included as a reduction of stockholders equity.
PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
During 2008 the Company purchased 45,112 shares of Common Stock for $161,136, or approximately
$3.57 per share.
NASDAQ CAPITAL MARKET LISTING
Consuliers common stock (symbol: CSLR) is listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market and has been traded

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Statements that are not historical facts, including
statements about our beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking
statements include statements preceded by, followed by or that include the words may, could,
would, should, believe, expect, anticipate, plan, estimate, target, project,
intend, or similar expressions. The statements include, among others, statements regarding our
prospects, opportunities, outlook, plans, intentions, anticipated financial and operating results,
our business strategy and means to implement the strategy, and objectives.
Forward-looking statements are only estimates or predictions and are not guarantees of performance.
These statements are based on our managements beliefs and assumptions, which in turn are based on
currently available information. Important assumptions relating to the forward-looking statements
include, among others, assumptions regarding demand for our products and services, competition from
existing and new competitors, our ability to introduce new products, expected pricing levels, the
timing and cost of planned capital expenditures, competitive conditions and general economic
conditions.
These assumptions could prove inaccurate. Forward-looking statements also involve risks and
uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any
forward-looking statement. Among other things, continued unfavorable economic conditions may
impact market growth trends or otherwise impact the demand for our Subsidiaries products and
services and competition from existing and new competitors and producers of alternative products
will impact our Subsidiaries ability to penetrate or expand our presence in new or growing
markets.
In addition, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, the statements in this Report are made
as of end of the period for which the Report is filed. We expect that subsequent events or
developments could cause our views to change. We undertake no obligation to update any of the
forward-looking statements made herein, whether as a result of new information, future events,
changes in expectations or otherwise. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon
as representing our views as of any date subsequent to the end of the period for which the Report
is filed.
The following discussion is intended to help the reader understand the results of operations and
financial condition of the Company. The discussion is provided as a supplement to, and should be
read in conjunction with, our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes.
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:
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.
5
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 INTERESTS
The Companys partnership and limited liability company interests are accounted for using the
equity method. Income or loss is allocated to Consulier based on each entitys partnership or
operating agreement.
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 revenues are 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 is
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 (e.g. 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 is 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.
6
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 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.
Sales of the Companys soap products are recorded upon shipment of goods to customers.
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.
USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The preparation of consolidated 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 consolidated 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, if any. Such estimates are reviewed
on an on-going basis and actual results could differ from these estimates. Those differences may
be material.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
CONSOLIDATED OPERATING RESULTS FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS. During the twelve months ended December
31, 2008, revenues increased from $2,177,865 to $2,911,975 over the prior twelve months as a result
of an increase in revenue from PCTS. Total operating costs and expenses decreased by $744,934,
primarily as a result of the reduced expenses of PCTS.
Installations of the PCTS core product line of electronic tracking and documentation solutions now
total 26. Including its non-core solutions, PCTS supports a total customer base of 66,
representing over 1,800,000 million annual patient encounters.
7
The Company had net other income, consisting primarily of investment income and net undistributed
income of equity investees less interest expense totaling $3,528,000 in 2008, compared to net other
income of $2,823,655 during 2007. The primary reason for the increase in net other income was the
increase in the Companys income from AVM.
AVM. Income from Consuliers interest in AVM was $3,425,442 in 2008, a 31% increase from 2007
income of $2,621,375. These represent an annualized return of 220% and 141%, respectively, on
Consuliers average investment during each of the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.
BIOSAFE. The Company had net undistributed income from BioSafe of $120,228 in 2008, a decrease
from the net undistributed income of $369,250 from its BioSafe investment in 2007. This amount
represents the Companys 40% interest in BioSafes net income of approximately $303,000 in 2008,
compared to $923,235 in 2007. The Company received distributions from BioSafe of $167,590 during
2008 compared to $134,000 in 2007.
BioSafes sales volume had increased by 2.3% over the previous year. Gross profit percentage
decreased during the same period by 3.5%. New products have continued to be well received in the
aquatic and home and garden market segments, which closed the year at a 28% increase from 2007
sales.
OUTLOOK FOR 2009
Based on AVMs operations over the past five years, management expects continued annualized returns
in 2009 similar to prior years on its interest in AVM; however, there is no guarantee that the
expected annualized return will continue in fiscal 2009 or any other period.
Consulier International, Inc. has been researching additional products to add to its portfolio and
plans to continue its research and new product development during 2009 and to continue to develop
new marketing materials and new retail and distribution outlets locally, nationally and
internationally for its Captain Cra-Z Hand and All Purpose Cleaner throughout 2009. Consuliers
web site has become a source of on-line internet retail sales and continues to be a good lead
generator, with applications for distribution being received through the site from countries all
over the world.
In the fourth quarter, Patient Care Technology Systems (PCTS) successfully implemented its
automatic tracking system in the perioperative suite at Carondelet St. Josephs Hospital in Tucson
and announced its ongoing use in the emergency department at sister facility Carondelet St. Marys
Hospital. Additional implementations of automatic tracking and emergency department clinical
documentation continue to progress for Q1 & Q2 2009 deployments. In January, PCTS will complete its
implementation to support invasive cardio-vascular patient flow at Providence St. Vincent Medical
Center (PSVMC) in Portland. In Q4, PCTS signed an agreement with PSVMC to install full automatic
tracking capabilities in its radiology department. PCTS also signed a contract to pilot its
software in its first non-U.S. based installation at a leading UK-based health care facility.
PCTS signed a co-marketing agreement with leading metro-New York networking company, Computer
Design and Integration. PCTS CEO, Tony Marsico presented at an international conference on
RFID/RTLS technologies and PCTS staff and customers presented at regional events. PCTS and two of
its leading customers were highlighted in a Wall Street Journal article profiling the growth of the
automatic tracking category. PCTS hired a new Vice President of Sales and Business Development,
Jaime Ojeda, formerly of The 3M Companys Track and Trace division. PCTS more than doubled the size
of its principal offices located in Charlotte, North Carolina by relocating locally.
PCTS currently supports 26 completed installations of its core product line of electronic tracking
and documentation solutions with over 12 implementations in progress. Including its non-core
solutions, PCTS supports a total customer base of 66 implementations representing over 1.8 million
annual patient encounters.

The financial position of BioSafe remains strong. The majority of market segments had decreased
sales in 2008 compared with 2007, with the exceptions of the sanitation and aquatics markets.
These two markets showed significant growth with increased sales over 125% each and associated
costs rising only 43% and 24%, respectively. With continued efforts to find new applications in
municipal water and waste water and increasing their coverage, BioSafe expects continued growth in
these markets.
The year ended with net income decreasing over 63% from the prior year, but still positive. This
decrease was due to expenses increasing more than 41% over the percentage increase in sales.
BioSafe Systems feels that the repressed economy played a major factor in this outcome. However,
the company expects to see a slight increase in sales and a return to historical net profit for
2009.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At December 31, 2008, Consulier had cash of $270,192, compared to $333,024, at December 31, 2007, a
decrease of $62,832. Net cash used by operations was $4,792,154 in 2008, compared to net cash used
in operations of $6,182,763 in 2007. The decrease in cash used in operations was a direct result
of an increase in the number of hospitals utilizing the Companys software, coupled with
managements focus on reducing operating cash flow.
Cash flow during 2008 provided by financing activities was $980,370, compared to the 2007 cash flow
provided by financing activities of $4,517,587. In 2008 related parties payable was reduced by
$579,990.
Net cash provided by investing activities was $3,748,952 in 2008, compared to net cash provided by
investing activities of $1,756,772 in 2007. This was primarily caused by an increase in
partnership distributions from AVM and BioSafe.
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 interest in AVM, which
Consulier cannot predict with assurance. However, Consulier does not expect that its cash flow
from AVM will decline to the point where Consulier has negative cash flow.
Consulier is planning to continue to invest in ST, LLC and estimates an additional investment of $5
million to $7 million during the next 3 years, at which time the goal is for ST, LLC to be at the
break-even point for its operations. The Company anticipates that the cash which it will use to
invest in ST, LLC, will be available from the Companys interests in AVM and BioSafe.
The Company does not trade derivative instruments. However, AVM enters into 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 $120,859 as of December 31, 2008.
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.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
(a) |
|
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures |
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures of a registrant designed to
ensure that information required to be disclosed by the registrant in the reports that it files or
submits under the Exchange Act is properly recorded, processed, summarized, and reported, within
the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures
include processes to accumulate and evaluate relevant information and communicate such information
to a registrants management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as
appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
We evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and
procedures as of December 31, 2008, as required by Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act. Based on the
evaluation described above, our Chief Executive Officer has concluded that, as of December 31,
2008, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that the information
required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported.
Managements Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements
for external reporting purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States (GAAP). Our internal control over financial reporting includes those
policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail,
accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of our
financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made
only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii) provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or
disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.
Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial
reporting objectives because of its inherent limitations. Internal control over financial reporting
is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and
breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be
circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of such limitations, there is a
risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal
control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the
financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to
reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.
10
In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the
risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that
the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In order to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2008, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, our management
conducted an assessment, including testing, based on the criteria set forth in Internal
ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission (the COSO Framework). A material weakness is a control deficiency, or a combination
of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement
of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. In assessing the
effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, management concluded that as of
December 31, 2008, no material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting were
identified.
Based on the assessment described above and the criteria set forth by the COSO Framework, we have
concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2008.
This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of the Companys registered public
accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Managements report was not
subject to attestation by the companys registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary
rules of the SEC that permit the company to provide only managements report in this Annual Report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the year ended December 31, 2008, the material weaknesses identified for the year ended
December 31, 2007, described below, were remediated.
|
1. |
|
Deficiencies in the Companys Control Environment. The Companys control environment
did not sufficiently promote effective internal control over financial reporting throughout
the organization. This material weakness existed because of the aggregate effect of
deficiencies in internal control which affected the Companys control environment,
including: (a) the lack of a formalized review process by management of operations, (b) the
lack of a financial expertise at the Companys operating subsidiary, and (c) the absence of
a whistleblower hotline. |
|
|
2. |
|
Deficiencies in the Companys subsidiary, Patient Care Technology Systems, LLC
(PCTS), Accounting System Controls. The Company failed to perform certain control
procedures designed to ensure that the financial statement presentations and related
disclosures were complete and in accordance with GAAP. These deficiencies included: (a)
inadequate review of journal entries and disbursements, (b) the lack of independent review
of balance sheet account reconciliations and supporting calculations, (c) inadequate review
of subsidiary operations as well as consolidated company financial statements, income tax
calculations, and disclosure checklist, (d) revenue recognition and sales cut-off, and (e)
inadequate communication between management and the accounting department. |
|
|
3. |
|
Deficiencies in Segregation of Duties at PCTS. This material weakness existed because
of the aggregate effect of multiple deficiencies concerning segregation of duties which may
have caused a material financial statement misstatement to be caused, or at least not be
detected in a timely manner. At PCTS, the following duties were not segregated adequately:
(a) generating and posting of journal entries, (b) generation, and approval and processing
of payroll, (c) completion of accounts payable reconciliations and the processing and
approval of payments, and (d) processing and approval of sales transactions and customer
receipts. |
11
During the year ended December 31, 2008, the weaknesses described above have been fully remediated
as a result of specific management actions. These actions included the formalization and
documentation of certain Company procedures with respect to the review and oversight of financial
reporting. The Company has also obtained the services of qualified individuals with appropriate
U.S. GAAP experience, and implemented financial reporting timelines and checklist processes to
assist in the timely gathering and review of companywide payroll information. Additionally,
management has implemented policies and procedures to facilitate employee communications as part of
a whistleblower program. The Company has also implemented procedures such as account
reconciliations in key areas, and expanded senior management reviews and analyses, including the
review of journal entries, to create a more robust financial reporting process.
Except for the changes in our internal control over financial reporting described above which were
implemented to remediate the material weaknesses noted for the year ended December 31, 2007, there
were no other changes in internal control that occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter that
have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over
financial reporting.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our executive officers
and directors and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities to
file with the Securities and Exchange Commission initial statements of beneficial ownership,
reports of changes in ownership and annual reports concerning their ownership of the common stock
and other equity securities, on Form 3, 4 and 5 respectively. Executive officers, directors and
greater than 10% shareholders are required by the Securities and Exchange Commission regulations to
furnish our company with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file. Based solely on our review
of the copies of such reports received by us, and on written representations by our officers and
directors regarding their compliance with the applicable reporting requirements under Section 16(a)
of the Exchange Act, we believe that, with respect to the year ended December, 2008, our officers
and directors, and all of the persons known to us to own more than 10% of our common stock, filed
all required reports on a timely basis.

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 2008 and 2007 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 Consuliers ST, LLC.
subsidiary) 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.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE |
INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS
The Board of Directors has determined that Messrs. Combias, Arnaud, and Fani are independent
directors within the meaning of Nasdaq Rule 4200(15).
AUDIT COMMITTEE
The Audit Committee of the Company is currently composed of three directors (Alan R. Simon,
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) selecting and overseeing our
independent accountants; (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 the outside auditor
and the fees of any advisers employed by the committee. There are no other committees of the Board
of Directors.
16
AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT
The Companys board of directors does not have an audit committee financial expert, within the
meaning of SEC Regulation S-K, Item 407(d)(5)(i), 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 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 attained 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.
MEETINGS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The Board of Directors met as needed during the year ended December 31, 2008.

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, 2008 and the related consolidated statements of operations,
stockholders equity and cash flows for the year 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 audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit 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. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an
audit of its internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures
that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express
no such opinion. 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the consolidated financial position of Consulier Engineering, Inc. and
Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008 and the consolidated results of their operations and their
consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States.

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, 2007 and the related consolidated statement of operations,
stockholders equity and cash flows for the year 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 audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit 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. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an
audit of its internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures
that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express
no such opinion. 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the consolidated financial position of Consulier Engineering, Inc. and
Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and the consolidated results of their operations and their
consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
NATURE OF BUSINESS
Consulier Engineering, Inc. (Consulier) and its subsidiaries (collectively called Consulier or
the Company) are engaged in three primary business lines: ownership in medical software
activities, distribution of Captain Cra-Z Soap and minority ownership of other business entities.
Consulier International, Inc. (a subsidiary) markets and distributes Captain Cra-Z Soap.
Consuliers income is derived from ownership of interests (Note 7) in BioSafe Systems, LLC
(BioSafe) a Connecticut limited liability company, 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, a majority-owned limited liability company, is a majority member (75%) of Patient Care
Technology Systems, LLC (PCTS), which develops and licenses data-based integrated emergency room
information systems marketed as Amelior ED. PCTS is also a provider of passive tracking
technologies for emergency departments and operating rooms. Their software technologies track 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. Moslers ownership in ST,
LLC was approximately 24% and Consuliers ownership was approximately 51% as of December 31, 2008.
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 subsidiary ST, LLC (collectively known
as the Company).
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% (Note 7).

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) |
ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
The preparation of consolidated 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 consolidated 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, if any. Such estimates are reviewed
on an on-going basis. 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 cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2008 and 2007.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS
The Company evaluates the collectability 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 reduces 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,
2008 and 2007, 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. PCTSs accounts receivable are concentrated
in the healthcare industry. Although PCTSs customers typically have been well-established
hospitals or medical facilities, 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.
To date, PCTS has relied on a limited number of customers for a substantial portion of its total
revenues. PCTS 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 43%
of PCTS total revenue was derived from four customers during the year ended December 31, 2008
(Note 3).
PCTS 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 consist of finished goods, and 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. Consulier International evaluates inventory balances for excess quantities and
obsolescence on a regular basis by analyzing backlog, estimated demands; 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. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007,
no allowance for obsolete or slow moving inventory was deemed necessary by the Company.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Property and equipment
under capital leases 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 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
PCTS 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 $303,344 and
$183,788 for the years ended December 31, 2008, and 2007, respectively. Accumulated amortization
totaled $1,464,561 and $1,161,217 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
During 2008 and 2007, the Company required third party expertise for the development of a new data
based integrated emergency room information system to enhance the functionality, reliability and
flexibility of PCTS existing products. For the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, research
and development costs totaled $421,761 and $817,260, respectively. These expenses are included with
professional services in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.
INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Intangible assets consist of customer lists acquired in connection with the acquisition by PCTS of
certain assets from Healthcare Information Technology, Inc. in 2004 and nuMedica in 2005, 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. PCTS
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.
There were no impairment losses during the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.

PARTNERSHIP AND LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANIES INVESTMENTS
The Companys interests in AVM and Biosafe constitute less than 50% of the ownership of each entity
and are accordingly 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 46R) from December 31, 2004 through March 31, 2005. Effective
April 1, 2005, the Company owned in excess of 50% of ST, LLC, and thereby requiring consolidation.
The Company owns less than 7% 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 of AVM, BioSafe and ST, LLC. The Company
reviews its interest in each of these companies for other than temporary declines in value on a
monthly basis by analyzing actual revenue, earnings capacity and estimated future undiscounted cash
flows.
Due to the Companys membership interest in ST, LLC and ST, LLCs operating agreement with PCTS,
the Company was exposed to the majority of risk related to the activities of ST, LLC and PCTS.
Therefore, in accordance with FIN 46(R), the Company considered ST, LLC as a variable interest
entity that required consolidation with 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 LLC 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.
Effective April 1, 2006, ST, LLCs operating agreement was amended to create a Class A membership
interest. The Class A members are entitled to a cumulative annual priority return of 10% on their
investment and cash available for distribution after payment of that return is distributable to all
of the members in accordance with their percentage membership interests. In accordance with this
amendment to the operating agreement, allocations of losses are based upon historical annual
contributions. As of December 31, 2008, the Class A member had invested $18,545,651. Unpaid
cumulative priority returns on the Class A membership interest totaled approximately $2,636,117 at
December 31, 2008.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, (SFAS 123(R)).
The Company adopted SFAS 123(R) using the modified-prospective-transition method. Under this
method, compensation cost recognized includes: a) compensation cost for all share-based payments
granted prior to, but not yet vested as of December 31, 2005, based on the grant-date fair value
estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123, and b) compensation cost for all
share-based payments granted subsequent to December 31, 2005, based on the grant-date fair value
estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R). In addition, deferred stock
compensation related to non-vested options is required to be eliminated against additional paid-in
capital upon adoption of SFAS 123(R).
During the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, there were no stock options granted.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
PCTS derives revenue from the following sources: (1) licensing and sale of data-based integrated
emergency room information systems and passive tracking technologies, which include 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 uses
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, PCTS recognizes new software license revenue when: (1) PCTS enters into a
legally binding arrangement with a customer for the license of software; (2) PCTS 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 revenues are 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.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) |
REVENUE RECOGNITION (CONTINUED)
Many of PCTSs software arrangements include consulting implementation services sold separately
under consulting engagement contracts. Consulting revenue from these arrangements is 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.
PCTS revenue for consulting services is 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, PCTS 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, and ongoing revenue is additionally measured
by the renewal rate offered to the customer.
PCTS 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 PCTS cannot objectively determine the fair value of any
undelivered element included in bundle software and service arrangements, PCTS 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.
Sales of the Companys soap products are recorded upon shipment of goods to customers.
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.

ADVERTISING AND MARKETING COSTS
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and amounted to $269,420 and $246,892 for the years
ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
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.
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board published FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN
no. 48). Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, to address the non-comparability in
reporting tax assets and liabilities resulting from a lack of specific guidance in FASB Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (SFAS 109), Accounting for Income Taxes, on the
uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprises financial statements. Specifically, FIN
No. 48 prescribes (a) a consistent recognition threshold and (b) a measurement attribute for the
financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in
a tax return, and provides related guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and
penalties, accounting interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 requires companies to
determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon
examination by the appropriate taxing authorities before any part of the benefit can be recorded in
the financial statements. For those tax positions where it is not more likely than not that a
tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit is recognized. Where applicable associated interest
and penalties are also recorded. The tax years 2004-2007 remain subject to examination by major
tax jurisdictions.
The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation
of FIN 48, the Company had no changes in the carrying value of its tax assets or liabilities for
any unrecognized tax benefits.
EARNINGS (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE
Earnings (loss) per common share basic are computed as net income (loss) divided by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Earnings (loss) per common share
diluted are 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 years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007,
as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

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.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157). SFAS 157
defines fair value, establishes a market-based framework or hierarchy for measuring fair value and
expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is applicable whenever another
accounting pronouncement requires or permits assets and liabilities to be measured at fair value.
SFAS 157 does not expand or require any new fair value measures; however, the application of this
statement may change current practice. The requirements of SFAS 157 are first effective for the
Companys fiscal year beginning January 1, 2008. However, in February 2008 the FASV decided that
an entity need not apply this standard to nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recognized
or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis until the subsequent
year. Accordingly, the Companys adoption of this standard on January 1, 2008, is limited to
financial assets and liabilities. The adoption of SFAS 157 has not had a material effect on the
Companys consolidated financial condition or consolidated results of operations. However, the
Company is still in the process of evaluating this standard with respect to its effect on
nonfinancial assets and liabilities and therefore has not yet determined the impact that it will
have on the Companys financial statements upon full adoption.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. The fair value option
permits entities to choose to measure eligible financial instruments at fair value at specified
election dates. The entity will report unrealized gains and losses on the items on which it has
elected the fair value option in earnings. SFAS 159 is effective beginning in fiscal year 2008.
The adoption of SFAS 159 has not had a material impact on the Companys consolidated results of
operations or consolidated financial condition.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised), Business Combinations (SFAS No. 141
(R)), replacing SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations (SFAS No. 141), SFAS No.141 (R) retains the
fundamental requirements of SFAS No. 141, broadens its scope by applying the acquisition method to
all transactions and other events in which on entity obtains control over one or more other
businesses, and requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be
measured at fair value as of the acquisition date, that liabilities related to contingent
consideration be recognized at the acquisition date and remeasured at fair value in each subsequent
reporting period, that acquisition-related costs be expensed as incurred, and that income be
recognized if the fair value of the net assets acquired exceeds the fair value of the consideration
transferred. SFAS No. 141 (R) is to be applied prospectively in financial statements issued for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company does not expect that the adoption of
SFAS No. 141 (R) will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (CONTINUED)
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial
Statements an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51. SFAS No. 160 establishes
accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the
deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 also establishes disclosure requirements that
clearly identify and distinguish between the controlling and noncontrolling interests and requires
the separate disclosure of income attributable to controlling and noncontrolling interests. SFAS
No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently
evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS 160 will have on its consolidated financial
statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities which amends SFAS No. 133, and requires companies with derivative instruments to
disclose information about how and why a company uses derivative instruments, how derivative
instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133, and how derivative
instruments and related hedged items affect a companys financial position, financial position,
financial performance, and cash flows. The required disclosures include the fair value of
derivative instruments and their gains or losses in tabular format, information about
credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements, counterparty credit risk, and the
companys strategies and objectives for using derivative instruments. The Statement expands the
current disclosure framework in SFAS No. 133. SFAS No. 161 is effective prospectively for annual
or interim reporting periods beginning on or after November 15, 2008.
