statements of the Company as well as the suitability of internal financial controls and to review
and approve the scope and performance of the independent auditors work. The Audit Committee meets
with the independent auditors and reviews any matters required to be discussed pursuant to

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT
The Audit Committee of the Consulier Engineering, Inc. is currently composed of three Directors
and operates under a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors.
AUDIT COMMITTEE CHARTER
Organization
This charter governs the operations of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee shall review and
reassess the charter at least annually and obtain the approval of the Board of Directors. The
Audit Committee shall be appointed by the Board of Directors and shall comprise at least two
directors, a majority of whom are independent of management and the Company. Members of the Audit
Committee shall be considered independent if they have no relationship that may interfere with the
exercise of their independence from management and the Company.
Statement of Policy
The Audit Committee shall provide assistance to the Board of Directors in fulfilling their
oversight responsibility to the shareholders, potential shareholders, the investment community, and
others relating to the Companys financial statements and the financial reporting process, the
systems of internal accounting and financial controls, the annual independent audit of the
Companys financial statements, and the legal compliance and ethics programs as established by
management and the Board of Directors. In so doing, it is the responsibility of the Audit
Committee to maintain free and open communication between the Audit Committee, independent auditors
and management of the Company. In discharging its oversight role, the Audit Committee is empowered
to investigate any matter brought to its attention with full access to all books, records,
facilities, and personnel of the Company and the power to retain outside counsel, or other experts
for this purpose.
Responsibilities and Processes
The primary responsibility of the Audit Committee is to oversee the Companys financial reporting
process on behalf of the Board of Directors and report the results of their activities to the Board
of Directors. Management is responsible for preparing the Companys financial statements, and the
independent auditors are responsible for auditing those financial statements. The Audit Committee
in carrying out its responsibilities believes its policies and procedures should remain flexible,
in order to best react to changing conditions and circumstances. The Audit Committee should take
the appropriate actions to set the overall corporate tone for quality financial reporting, sound
business risk practices, and ethical behavior.
The following shall be the principal recurring processes of the Audit Committee in carrying out its
oversight responsibilities. The processes are set forth as a guide with the understanding that the
Audit Committee may supplement them as appropriate.
The Audit Committee shall have a clear understanding with management and the independent auditors
that the independent auditors are ultimately accountable to the Board of Directors and the
Audit Committee, as representatives of the Companys shareholders. The Audit Committee shall have
the ultimate authority and responsibility to evaluate and, where appropriate, recommend the
replacement of the independent auditors. The Audit Committee shall discuss with the auditors their
independence from management and the Company including the matters in the written disclosures
required by the Independence Standards Board and shall consider the compatibility of nonaudit
services with the auditors independence. Annually, the Audit Committee shall review and recommend
to the Board of Directors the selection of the Companys independent auditors, subject to
shareholders approval.
The Audit Committee shall discuss with the independent auditors the overall scope and plans for
their audits including the adequacy of staffing and compensation. Also, the Audit Committee shall
discuss with management and the independent auditors the adequacy and effectiveness of the
accounting and financial controls, including the Companys system to monitor and manage business
risk, and legal and ethical compliance programs. Further, the Audit Committee shall meet
separately with the independent auditors, with and without management present, to discuss the
results of their examinations.
The Audit Committee shall review the interim financial statements with management and the
independent auditors prior to the filing of the Companys Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB. Also,
the Audit Committee shall discuss the results of the quarterly review and any other matters
required to be communicated to the Audit Committee by the independent auditors under generally
accepted auditing standards. The chair of the Audit Committee may represent the entire committee
for the purposes of this review.
The Audit Committee shall review with management and the independent auditors the financial
statements to be included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-KSB, including their judgment
about the quality, not just acceptability, of accounting principles, the reasonableness of
significant judgments, and the clarity of the disclosures in the financial statements. Also, the
Audit Committee shall discuss the results of the annual audit and any other matters required to be
communicated to the Audit Committee by the independent auditors under generally accepted auditing
standards.
We have met and held discussions with the Companys management and with the Companys
independent accountants, Goldstein Lewin & Co.. We have reviewed and discussed the
consolidated financial statements of Consulier Engineering, Inc. for the 2004 fiscal year
with the Companys management. We discussed with Goldstein Lewin & Co. matters required to
be discussed in accordance with the statements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States), including standards set forth in Statement on Auditing Standards No.
61.
Goldstein Lewin & Co. also provided to us the written disclosures regarding their
independence required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, and we discussed with
Goldstein Lewin & Co. their independence.
Based on these reviews and discussions, we recommended to the Board of Directors that
the audited consolidated financial statements for 2004 be included in
Consulier Engineering, Inc.s Annual Report on Form 10-KSBA for the year ended December 31, 2004
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Messrs. Arnaud, Grosse and Fani are members of the Audit Committee. Messrs. Arnaud,
Grosse and Fani are independent as defined in the NASDAQ listing standards.
