Options to purchase 25,000 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $2.19
to $2.50 per share were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per
share because the options exercise price was greater than the average market
price of the common shares and, therefore, the effect would be antidilutive.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

for the nine months of 1998 compared to $964,528 in 1997, a decrease of $2,682.

compared to a loss before taxes of $25,504 for the same period in 1997.

develop, manufacture, sell and distribute the products. The ladder Tool
Topper(TM) line of products is currently in production. The products segment had
$374,190 of expenses in the nine month period of 1998 compared to $163,366 in
1997. The products segment has not recorded any income in the nine month period
of 1998. The major expenditures have been for research and development,
marketing and travel. The first production run of 10,000 units was ready for
distribution in September.

Investment income from Consulier's AVM limited partnership interest was $856,995
in the first nine months of 1998, a 12% decrease from 1997 income of $978,978.
The High Risk Opportunities Fund Ltd. ("HRO") has been placed in liquidation
under Cayman Islands law. The objective of the Fund was to achieve substantial
capital appreciation through investment in a broad and unrestricted range of
financial instruments. HRO focused primarily on leveraged investments in
fixed-income securities and derivatives in emerging markets. HRO's Russian
position consisted of leveraged investments in ruble-denominated, short-term
Russian government securities ("GKOs") (generally 



                                       10
<PAGE>   11

accessed through total return swaps and structured notes), with the ruble/dollar
currency risk hedged through non-deliverable forward contracts ("NDFs") with
Western European and U.S. banks.

During the second half of August 1998, the Russian government announced various
emergency measures apparently designed to, among other things, improve the
Russian government's financial position and forestall the collapse of the
Russian banking system. These misguided measures included a devaluation of the
ruble, a 90 day moratorium on servicing of foreign debts including forward
foreign exchange contracts and a forced restructuring (i.e. default) on certain
sovereign local currency debt, including virtually all their GKOs. The
government ministers who announced such measures were subsequently fired by
President Yeltsin and the Russian government remains in a chaotic state to this
day.

Since the announcement of the restructuring, the official GKO market in Russia
has been closed. The Russian default and devaluation also led to substantial
declines in the value of emerging market debt worldwide as investors fled to the
safety of U.S. Treasuries. These events caused severe losses for many Western
banks and investment funds, including HRO. The liquidators now have complete
control of HRO assets and authority to pursue and settle claims. There can be no
certainty regarding the ultimate value of HRO. With that being the case, the
best current course of action is to carry the HRO fund at a zero value on the
Company's books. A loss on investment in the amount of $150,242 was recorded in
September.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At September 30, 1998, Consulier's cash totaled $304,936 as compared to $7,013
at December 31, 1997. During the nine month period Consulier's cash increased
$297,923. The Company has relied on cash flows from its limited partnership
investment in AVM supplemented, as necessary, by bank borrowings and loans from
Chairman of the Board Warren B. Mosler to finance working capital and capital
expenditures.

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



                                       11
<PAGE>   12

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 believes that it may require additional
financing to complete agreements which are currently in place. The timing and
amount of Consulier's additional financing needs will depend, among other
things, upon the timing of Tool Topper(TM) manufacturing and sales.

FUTURE OUTLOOK

Based on AVM's current operations and operating results, Consulier expects
continued returns in 1998 on its limited partnership investment. However, there
is no guarantee that the returns of the past can be maintained.

Consulier's automotive parts wholesale distribution business experienced a
decrease in sales in the six months of 1998 but management is now seeing an
improvement in sales due to the introduction of new product lines. This
business, Southeast Automotive, intends to expand its business through the
development of a wider customer base. At the end of 1997 Southeast had
approximately $1,600,000 of hand cleaner CRA-Z Soap in inventory. A portion,
$600,000 of this inventory is classified as non-current because Consulier
believes it will take longer than one year to sell. Southeast's CRA-Z soap
retail presence is rapidly growing. The product is now available at Paccar
Automotives chain of 152 Al's and Grand Auto auto parts stores. These stores are
located throughout six western states. The Southeast CRA-Z Soap Web Site has
generated a substantial amount of brand recognition. In addition, retail sales
from the website have commenced and "virtual" distributors have been signed up
to sell the product worldwide.

In 1997, Consulier entered into a contract for the purchase of six patents for
tools and related products. Several are related to work platform and tool
holding attachments to ladders tentatively being called our Tool Topper(TM) line
of products. The balance of the patents are related to powered hack saws powered
by 110/220 volt AC, pneumatic and battery power sources. A Florida corporation
was established to develop, manufacture, sell and distribute the patented
products. This corporation, C-6 Products, Inc. ("C-6"), is a wholly owned
subsidiary of Consulier. During 1998, C-6 is continuing development of the Tool
Topper(TM) Workstation product. This patented product is 



                                       12
<PAGE>   13

designed so it can be easily and quickly attached to any stepladder, converting
it into a work platform. C-6 has completed design and rapid prototyping of the
Tool Topper(TM) Workstation. An agreement has been reached with a large
production plastic injection molding company to manufacture our Tool Topper(TM)
Workstation for us. Production tooling orders were placed for all required
tools. An initial order for 10,000 units was completed in September 1998.
Advertising for the ToolTopper(TM) commenced in October. This resulted in direct
sales from the ToolTopper(TM) Web site as well as the toll free order
fulfillment system. We have also begun marketing the ToolTopper(TM) to regional
as well as nationwide retail chains. The ToolTopper(TM) will be featured
nationally on the QVC Television Shopping Network in November.

In October 1997, Consulier purchased a minority equity interest in BioSafe
Systems, LLC., a New Jersey limited liability corporation ("BioSafe"). Biosafe
develops and markets environmentally safe products, alternatives to
traditionally toxic pesticides.

Recent public concern over environmental practices and the effect of toxic
chemicals on the environment are producing increasing pressure on agricultural
concerns to limit their use. BioSafe uses peroxigen chemistry as a pesticide,
algaecide and fungicide. Peroxigen chemistry uses the power of free radical
oxidation to kill all forms of micro-organisms that may be pathogenic to plants,
without causing harm to the plant. Peroxigens immediately biodegrade upon
reacting with either micro-organisms or organic material such as soil, into
components of oxygen and water leaving behind no toxic residues.

BioSafe's initial product, ZeroTol(TM), utilizes a formulation using peroxigens
as the principal active ingredients. No other company currently has or has
requested a US EPA registration for the use of peroxigens for these purposes.
BioSafe's federal EPA registration for its ZeroTol(TM) product was received in
1998 permitting its use on ornamental plants and turf applications.
Additionally, the U.S. Patent Office granted a patent for ZeroTol(TM).

Consulier has an agreement to purchase up to a 40% equity interest in BioSafe.
During 1998 management has continued to increase its investment in BioSafe.
BioSafe sales have improved in 1998 as new distributors and product users have
been added and advertising in trade magazines initiated. BioSafe has 



                                       13
<PAGE>   14

established a national distribution with over 20 distributors in 50 individual
locations. Additionally a distributor has been added in South America.
Advertising is continuing in periodicals focused on the greenhouse industry and
is continuing to identify potential new users.

In August BioSafe completed the move of its headquarters from New Jersey to
Glastonbury, CT. Their new facility will provide larger quarters for product
development and evaluation and will provide necessary warehouse space and
distribution facilities.
