AVM, L.P
Consulier owns approximately 10% of AVMs capital as of September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001. Based on capital and earnings distributions provided in the partnership agreement, Consulier was allocated approximately 8% of AVMs earnings during each of the three-month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001.

Item 2. Managements Discussion And Analysis Or Plan Of Operation
Results of Operations
The following compares the results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 to the nine months ended September 30, 2001:
During the nine months ended September 30, 2002, sales and cost of goods sold decreased $299,844 and $266,479, respectively, from the comparable amounts recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2001. Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 decreased $33,365 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2001. Net Income for the first nine months of 2002 was $1,045179, or $.21 per share, compared to $1,519,435, or $.31 per share, in the first nine months of 2001. The decrease in net income is related primarily to a combination of a one-time insurance recovery of $1.75 million in 2001, an increase of $469,428 in investment income from related parties, and an increase of $218,239 in undistributed income of equity investee.
Interest expense declined by $57,769 due to the reduction in notes payable banks and the partial redemption of bonds payable in the second quarter of 2001.
Other income consisting of investment income and interest income/expense decreased $1,030,891, to $1,795,515 in the first nine months of 2002 compared to $2,826,406 in 2001, primarily attributable to the $469,428 increase in investment income from AVM and the $218,239 increase in undistributed income of BioSafe, offset by an insurance recovery of $1.75 million in 2001. Income before income taxes decreased $703,881 from income of $2,379,660 in the nine months of 2001 to income of $1,675,779 in the nine months of 2002.
The effective tax rate increased to approximately 38% in the nine months of 2002 compared to 36% in 2001.
Consuliers consolidated net income for nine months ended September 30, 2002 was $1,045,179, or $0.21 basic and diluted earnings per share compared to income of $1,519,435, or $0.31 basic and diluted earnings per share, for the first nine months of 2001.
The following compares the results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2002 to the three months ended September 30, 2001:
During the quarter ended September 30, 2002, sales and cost of goods sold decreased $26,898 and $69,339, respectively, from the comparable amounts recorded during the quarter ended September 30, 2001. Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2002 increased $42,441 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2001. Net Income for the third quarter of 2002 was $567,459, or $0.11 per share, compared to $330,533, or $0.07 per share, in the third quarter of 2001. The increase in net income is related primarily to an increase of $150,891 in investment income from related parties and of $81,905 in undistributed income of equity investee.
Interest expense declined $1,065 due to the reduction in notes payable banks and the partial redemption of bonds payable in the third quarter of 2001.
Other income consisting of investment income and interest income/expense increased $220,248, from $928,805 in the third quarter of 2002 compared to $708,557 in 2001, primarily attributable to the
9
$150,891 increase in investment income from AVM and the $81,905 increase in undistributed income of BioSafe. Income before income taxes increased $362,301 from income of $563,758 in the third quarter of 2001 to income of $926,059 in the third quarter of 2002.
The effective tax rate decreased to approximately 39% in the second quarter of 2002 compared to 41% in 2001.
Consuliers consolidated income for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 was $567,459, or $0.11 basic and diluted earnings per share compared to income of $330,533, or $0.07 basic and diluted earnings per share, for third quarter 2001.
AUTOMOTIVE PARTS DISTRIBUTION Net sales of Consuliers Southeast automotive parts distribution represented 96.9% and 99.9% of Consuliers net sales in the third quarters of 2002 and 2001, respectively. This segments sales decreased by 6.5%, or $47,885 in the 2002 third quarter to $689,015, compared to $736,900 in the 2001 third quarter. This decrease can be attributed primarily to the adverse impact of the current economic conditions in the United States, Latin America and South America.
The automotive parts distribution segment had income before income taxes of approximately $135,000 in the third quarter of 2002 compared to approximately $54,000 in the third quarter of 2001. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in gross profit of approximately $42,000.
HOUSEHOLD AND TOOL PRODUCTS C-6 incurred a net loss of approximately $12,000 in the third quarter of 2002, consisting primarily of storage charges, compared to a net loss of $4,300 in the third quarter of 2001.
INVESTMENT IN AVM Investment income from Consuliers AVM limited partnership interest was $671,517 in the third quarter of 2002, a 2.9% increase from the comparable 2001 quarters income of $520,626. This represents annualized returns of 33.6% and 52.1%, respectively, on Consuliers average investment during each year.
INVESTMENT IN BIOSAFE Equity in income of BioSafe was $216,212 in the third quarter of 2002, a 60.9% increase over the comparable 2001 quarters equity in income of $134,307. This represents the Companys 40% interest in BioSafes net income of approximately $534,000 in the third quarter of 2002, compared to a net income of approximately $336,000 in the third quarter of 2001.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
At September 30, 2002, Consuliers cash and cash equivalents totaled $700,197 as compared to $150,032 at December 31, 2001, an increase of $550,165. Net cash used in operations increased to $1,117,522 in the first nine months of 2002 compared to $1,309,094 of net cash provided in the first nine months of 2001. The increase in cash used in operations is primarily the result of a decrease in net income of approximately $474,000, an increase in the change in investment income related parties of approximately $469,000 and an increase in the change in income taxes payable of approximately $1,085,000. Net cash provided by investing activities increased to $1,667,687 in the first nine months of 2002, compared to $46,335 of net cash used in the first nine months of 2001, resulting primarily from an increase in the change in due from principal shareholder of $1,243,383 and an increase in the change in distributions from partnership interest of $275,309.
The ability of Consulier to continue to generate cash flow in excess of its normal operating requirements depends almost entirely on the performance of its limited partnership investment in AVM. Consulier cannot, with any degree of assurance, predict whether there will be a continuation of the net return experienced in the period that the AVM limited partnership interest has been owned. However, Consulier does not expect that the rate of return will decline to the point where Consulier has negative cash flow. Furthermore, although AVM has given Consulier no indication of any intention on its part to redeem the partnership interest, there can be no assurance that AVM will not do so in the future.
On April 16, 2002, the Company entered into agreement granting a line of credit of up to $900,000 to Asset Assistance Group, LLC. The line of credit expires one year from April 16, 2002 and $0 is outstanding at September 30, 2002. Sources for funding the line of credit are expected to be investment income from AVM and repayments of outstanding amounts/advances by the principal shareholder.

Future Outlook
Based on AVMs recent operating results over the past five years, management expects continued positive annualized returns in 2002 on Consuliers limited partnership investment. However, there is no guarantee that the returns of the past can be maintained.
Sales in the automotive parts distribution segment are expected to increase in the second half of 2002 due to the reorganization of the sales department and training of salespeople, strengthening of existing product lines, and increased marketing and promotion. Southeast is scheduled to attend numerous trade shows in key locations around the world to promote and sell its products.
In December 2000, Consulier entered into a multi-year strategic alliance and distribution agreement with Norpak Manufacturing Inc. (Norpak) of Toronto, Canada and its related company Veridien Corp. (Veridien) of St. Petersburg, Florida. Veridien has a full line of top quality cleaning products that they manufacture and distribute to national and regional retailers and distributors.
Norpak, also with a full line of cleaning products and retail as well as distribution sources, has been contracted to be the main distributor for the Captain CRA-Z soap product in Canada. These agreements include pricing schedules for products at distributorship levels.
Veridien and Norpak are working with Consulier to launch the soap product to national and regional retailers and major distributors.
In addition to the above, Consulier maintains a sales and marketing department developing new retail and distribution outlets nationally and internationally. There are several trade shows scheduled for marketing the soap throughout 2002 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.
