Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared by Focus Entertainment International, Inc. (the "Company" or "Focus") pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of these financial statements have been included. Such adjustments consist of normal recurring adjustments. This Form 10-QSB Report should be read in conjunction with the Company's Form 10-SB, which contains audited financial statements for the Company for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000, as filed with the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
The results of operations for the period ended September 30, 2000 are not indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.
Company's Activities
Focus and its subsidiaries operate Adult Fantasy Stores which rent adult videos and retail in adult videos, marital aids, lotions, novelties, magazines, provocative clothing, lingerie, tobacco, tobacco related products, and adult viewing booths. The stores operate under the trade names of Inserection, Heaven, New York Video, Cupid's Arrow and Water Pipe World and are located in the metropolitan Atlanta Georgia area in Fulton, Cobb, and DeKalb counties and in Myrtle Beach South Carolina in Horry County. The Company has also promoted boxing events under the name "Boxing in Buckhead".

The consolidated financial statements exclude the results of material transactions between the Company and its consolidated affiliates, or among the Company's consolidated affiliates.
Estimates
Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing these financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses. Actual results could vary from the estimates that were used.
Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost of video inventory is determined on the average cost method. All other inventory is valued by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the assets by accelerated and straight-line methods. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation expense charged to operations amounted to $78,829 and $70,221 for the three months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes are provided for differences in depreciation for income tax and financial reporting purposes.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers instruments with maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents for purposes of the statements of cash flows.
Intangible Assets
Goodwill is recognized for financial statement purposes as the excess of the purchase price of interests in subsidiaries from minority investors over the book value of those interests, additionally, goodwill is recognized for financial statement purposes as the excess of the purchase price of assets acquired in the purchase of the Cupid's Arrow business over the fair market value of those assets. Goodwill is being amortized over 240 months.
Amortization expense charged to operations amounted to $17,578 and $4,795 for the three months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are charged to operations when the advertising first takes place. Advertising expense was $57,533 and $75,836 for the three months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". This statement addresses the accounting for derivative instruments, including some types of derivative instruments imbedded in other contracts, and hedging activities. SFAS No. 133, as amended by SFAS No. 137, is effective for all fiscal quarters of all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. We do not anticipate the adoption of the provisions of SFAS No. 133 will significantly impact our financial reporting.
For the years ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, we have adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." SFAS No. 131 requires the presentation of descriptive information about reportable segments consistent with information our management uses to assess performance. Additionally, SFAS No. 131 requires disclosure of certain information by geographic region. The adoption of the provision of SFAS No. 131 has not significantly impacted our financial reporting.

Note 9 - Contingencies
The Company has formed Limited Liability Companies (LLCs) to operate its locations. Distributions are made to the investors based on formulas set forth in the operating agreements for the LLCs.

Net cash from operations shall not be reduced by depreciation, amortization, cost recovery deductions, or similar allowances, but shall be increased by any reductions of reserves previously established. At September 30, 2000, the Company estimates that $188,016 has been withheld from distribution to minority investors for reserves. Should the reserved amounts be reduced, some, or all of that amount would be due and payable to the minority investors.

Results of Operations
Revenues
For the three months ended September 30, 2000, the Company had net sales of $3,267,997, as compared to net sales in the three months ended September 30, 1999 of $3,301,838, a decrease of $33,841, or 1.02%. A comparison of revenues by type in fiscal 2001 to fiscal 2000 is set forth below:
| FY2001 | FY2000 |
Product Sales | $ 1,503,589 | $ 1,292,241 |
Video Sales | 1,042,215 | 942,933 |

The Company opened new locations in the Atlanta metropolitan area in July 1999, and March 2000 and purchased an existing store in Myrtle Beach, SC in March 2000. The new stores allowed the Company to stabilize revenues even though its inner-city locations suffered an overall 17.72% reduction in net sales. This decrease is attributed to a 80.00% net reduction in video viewing booth revenues and a 8.53% reduction in video sales and rental revenues from those inner-city locations. Management believes the decrease is primarily attributable to increased price competition in the Metropolitan Atlanta area. The decrease in video sales has been partially offset by increases in rental revenues and product sales.
The decline in the sales from the inner-city locations is attributed to competition from discount stores that have opened within the past two years within close proximity to the Company's locations, and a reduction in parking availability to the Company's midtown location due to construction of a new government office building adjacent thereto. The competitors were able to gain market share in the video viewing booth segment of the market as well. With the increased competition in the Atlanta inner-city, the Company believes the market in such areas has become saturated.
The Company does not expect revenues in its inner-city locations to continue decreasing. Revenues in the inner-city locations are stabilizing due to more effective advertising, no additional store "cannibalization" and overall increases in inner-city commerce due to improved demographics among inner-city residents, and greater inner-city commerce resulting from continued redevelopment of the area. Additionally, the Company is investigating various strategies to stem the decline in video booth revenues, including outsourcing management and operation of the booths, but thus far the effort has been unsuccessful.
The Company is actively seeking good locations in the suburban areas around Atlanta to offset the declines in the inner-city locations, as well as pursuing opportunities in neighboring states.
Cost of Goods Sold
For the three months ended September 30, 2000, cost of goods sold were $1,193,312, as compared to cost of goods sold in the three months ended September 30, 1999 of $917,928, an increase of $275,384, or 30.00%. As a percentage of net sales, cost of goods sold increased from 27.8% to 36.5% from 1999 to 2000. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales increased as a result of increased price competition from discount stores located in close proximity to the Company's locations. Additionally, an overall reduction of video booth revenues of 71.8% or $351,415 is indicative of a change in the overall sales mix to less profitable lines. A comparison of cost of goods sold by type in fiscal 2001 to fiscal 2000 is set forth below:
| FY2001 | FY2000 | ||
| Cost of Goods Sold | % of Revenues | Cost of Goods Sold | % of Revenues |
Product Sales | $ 766,004 | 51.0% | $ 571,401 | 44.2% |

General and Administrative Expenses
For the three months ended September 30, 2000, general and administrative expenses were $1,722,920, as compared to $1,898,159 for the three months ended September 30, 1999, a decrease of $175,239, or 9.23%. As a percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses decreased from 57.49% to 52.72% from 1999 to 2000. The decrease in general and administrative expenses was primarily the result of a $219,500 expenditure for promotional and consulting services in fiscal year 2000 relating to the Company pending registration under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Additionally there was a decrease of $52,290 for promotional costs primarily related to the Boxing in Buckhead events. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in computer expenses of $30,248, an increase in travel and entertainment expenses of $26,168, and the payment of penalties and fines of $33,376.
Other Income (Expense)
For the three months ended September 30, 2000, Other Income (Expense) increased by $10,585, from $17,749 for the three months ended September 30, 1999 to $28,334 for the three months ended September 30, 2000. This is primarily attributable to an increase in payment discounts of $27,703 from 1999 to 2000, which was partially offset by an increase in interest expense of $10,820.
Income Taxes
For the three months ended September 30, 2000, the Company incurred income tax expense of $108,717, as compared to income tax expense of $97,102 for the three months ended September 30, 1999, an increase of $11,615, or 11.96%. The increase is primarily attributable to a decrease in taxable income attributable to minority interest holders and an increase in non deductible expenses. As of September 30, 2000 and 1999, the Company had Deferred Income Taxes of $25,000. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 requires a valuation allowance to be recorded when it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets of a company will not be realized. At September 30, 2000, no valuation allowance was recorded against the deferred tax asset because the Company determined from its projections that it is more likely than not that future taxable income will be sufficient to realize the deferred tax asset.
Net Income
For the three months ended September 30, 2000, the Company had net income of $134,429, compared to net income of $165,415 for the three months ended September 30, 1999, a decrease of $30,986, or18.73%. Even though the Company's general and administrative expenses decreased dramatically, the increase in cost of sales as a percentage of net sales more than offset the benefits of the reduction.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2000, the Company had net working capital of $1,196,960, compared to net working capital of $1,655,516 as of September 30, 1999, a decrease of $458,556, and net working capital of $1,297,753 on June 30, 2000. As of September 30, 2000, the Company's long-term debt was $466,587, as compared to long-term debt of $370,325 at September 30, 1999, of which $141,926 was held by the Company's majority stockholder.Cash was reduced during the three months ended September 30, 2000 by the buildup of inventory for the holiday season, and the purchase of fixed assets, and payments on long term debt. This was offset by earnings from operations. During the three months ended September 30, 2000, the Company continued to concentrate on improving and consolidating its long-term financial position. The improvements in the Company's balance sheet in fiscal 2001 should improve the long-term profitability of the Company's current operations and position the Company for future sustained growth.
The Company funds its short-term working capital needs, including the purchase of video and other inventory, primarily through cash from operations. The Company expects that cash from operations and extended vendor terms will be sufficient to fund future video and other inventory purchases and other working capital needs for its existing locations. As a part of its growth strategy, however, the Company requires greater working capital to fund the costs of new store openings. There can be no assurance that cash from operations and extended vendor terms will be sufficient to fund future video and other inventory purchases and other working capital to sustain the continued growth of the Company.
The Company's primary long-term capital needs are for opening and acquiring new locations. The Company expects to fund such needs through cash flows from operations, the net proceeds from the possible sale of debt or equity securities, bank credit facilities, trade credit, and equipment leases.
